Hearing a male voice coming from the room, I quickly looked around.
I saw a rather dignified man walking out of the house, holding a fried steak in his hand.
I have never met this person, but the first impression he gave me was very good, and he made me feel polite and polite.
My first impression was that he was a scholar, or at least a man of great substance.
He is Chinese, wears black-rimmed glasses, and does not look very old, probably in his fifties.
I kept staring at him and saw him bring the steak to the table in the yard, and then smiled politely at me.
I looked at Min Nolan with confusion, and she introduced me: "This is my husband, Lin Muhua."
I was startled again. I had never heard An Lan say this before. Does An Lan know?
However, my first impression of Lin Muhua was quite good. His whole person looked like a handsome young man, including his very gentle tone of voice.
After being stunned for a moment, I smiled at Lin Muhua and said, "Hello, Uncle Lin."
"Hello, Xiao Chen."
She smiled back at me, then placed the steak in front of me and said, "Try it."
"Thanks."
I picked up the knife and fork and tasted a piece of beef. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a fragrant aroma on my lips and teeth.
I've had steaks from many fine restaurants, but this was definitely the best I've ever had.
"How's it going? Is it to your liking?" Lin Muhua asked me with an elegant smile.
I nodded and replied: "It's delicious, better than any steak I've ever eaten."
"Did you do this?" After saying that, I couldn't help but ask another question.
Min Nolan took over and said, "Your Uncle Lin worked in a Michelin restaurant before."
I see, I mean why is it so delicious? It turns out he is a Michelin chef!
Soon, I finished the entire steak. Lin Muhua asked me if I wanted more?
It was so delicious that I was too embarrassed to say it. After Lin Muhua saw my reaction, he went back to the house and fried me a portion.
This person is really nice. No wonder Min Nolan wants to stay here. It turns out it’s because of love!
After that, we continued chatting for a while, and I learned that Lin Muhua, Min Nolan, and An Lan’s father, An Jiahua, were all college classmates. However, Lin Muhua stopped doing business a long time ago. He liked cooking, and later became
Worked at a Michelin restaurant.
Min Nolan is now relieved that her husband has left. I think it’s a good idea to find a wife to accompany each other for the rest of our lives.
I stayed at Min Nolan's house that night. I told An Lan about this and asked her if she knew about it.
An Lan said she knew, and then I asked her: "Then what do you think of this matter? Do you think it is good or bad?"
"It's good that my mother is happy. Besides, Uncle Lin is a very good person. You have met him. What do you think of him?"
"He is such a nice person, and his tone of voice is also very gentle. Anyway, he makes me feel like a handsome young man."
"So I quite agree with them being together, so that my mother can have someone by her side to talk to."
"Well, I think so too. Uncle Lin is really a nice guy. Just now he came to ask me if I would be cold. He was so considerate. He is simply a warm man."
"Do you know now why my mother didn't come back?"
"I know, but I think it's really good to let go of the past and start a new life."
That night An Lan and I chatted a lot on WeChat, all of which revolved around her mother.
I don’t know when I fell asleep. I can only say that living here is so relaxing. I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning.
When I got up, the sun was shining through the window. In those wisps of light, I felt like I was in heaven.
After stretching, I looked at the time on the bedside table. It was already 9:30 am London time.
I hurriedly got dressed and went outside to see Min Nolan and Lin Muhua sitting leisurely in the yard drinking tea and chatting. This little day couldn't be too leisurely.
You must know that if you are in China during this time, it is the peak period for work, and the streets will be crowded with people.
But here, you can't see any pedestrians on the road at all, and the occasional car is a bicycle.
The ecology here is so good and the air is so good.
It’s not that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China, but the facts are worth learning from.
Of course, not every place is so good. London is actually an industrial city, with quite a few industrial areas here.
It's just that the place where I am now is more comfortable and comfortable. In fact, it is like some places in Xinjiang in our country.
After saying hello to Min Nolan and Lin Muhua, Lin Muhua turned back to look at me and said, "Are you awake? I'll heat up breakfast for you. You go and wash up first."
This treatment was so good that I was not used to it. I laughed and said, "Uncle Lin, don't bother, I can just heat it myself."
"It's okay, you go and wash up."
I was really embarrassed. At the same time, Min Nolan said to me: "Yesterday, I heard An Lan say that you wanted to visit some local factories in London, right?"
"Yes, Mom, can you take me for a ride?"
"Okay, you go and wash up first, and then we'll set off after breakfast."
I nodded and said, "Sorry, I overslept."
"It's okay. We're not in a hurry anyway. Slow down the time a little, and you'll find that life is actually beautiful."
I also want to slow down time a little bit, but the situation I’m in now doesn’t allow it!
Anyway, here I really experience what a slow-paced life is.
People living here probably don’t have any worries. They sleep until they wake up naturally every day, then make a cup of coffee in their yard, bask in the sun, and think about what to do today.
Isn't this the life that everyone wants in their hearts? If it weren't for this kind of life, who would be willing to wander around!
After breakfast, Min Nolan and I went to major impressive companies in London. My purpose was simple, I just wanted to see other people's production processes and other people's management models.
With Min Nolan leading the way, everything went smoothly. After all, Min Nolan still has influence in Europe. Although the Jiahua Group is no longer in the world, these businesses must give Min Nolan some face.
We visited a total of four companies throughout the day, one of which was the UK's top leather goods brand Maplebury. We also visited the Bentley and Skoda car factories, and finally went to the Memeile Home Furnishing Factory, which is also the most famous factory in the UK.
furniture manufacturing company.
The so-called long-term experience is to learn the strengths of others. This will be of great help to me in the future comprehensive product upgrade.
After the trip ended that afternoon, I was going back to China, and Min Nolan sent me to the airport.
When I entered the security check, Min Nolan said to me: "On the day you and An Lan get married, your uncle Lin and I will come to attend your wedding, but don't keep me waiting."
I nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I know. Mom, please go back first. Don't let Uncle Lin wait at home alone for a long time."
"It's okay. I see you've passed the security check before leaving."
I remember that there was a time when Min Nolan and I had a bad time, and I even doubted her.
But now I know that she is not only a good mother, but also a good mother-in-law.
She actually stood at the security checkpoint and waited until I passed the security check before leaving.
