Sophie was about to nod when she complained again, "Oh, you really are too!"
"If you want to see Uncle Mo, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I didn't even change my clothes!"
I don’t know why, but when I think about meeting Uncle Mo later, I feel no less stressed than when I go to the Zhao family to meet the parents for the first time.
Zhao Dong said softly: "No need, just be generous and decent."
"Besides, my wife is so good, she can take advantage of anyone she meets!"
Sophie didn't appreciate it and complained: "But...but I didn't even prepare a gift!"
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "There's no need. You don't know Lao Mo's temper. He doesn't like those who are vain. If you go empty-handed, he will definitely be happy!"
Sophie glared, "You are you and I am me. Besides, it's the first time I've come to visit you. How can it be the same?"
Zhao Dong was also joking.
If he goes there alone, it will definitely be okay if he doesn't prepare a gift.
But it is definitely not appropriate to bring Sophie to your home empty-handed.
Passing by a shopping mall, Sophie quickly got out of the car.
Zhao Dong is not worried about gifts or anything like that.
With Sophie's vision and level, she definitely knows what to give.
Taking advantage of this time, he dialed a number, "Hello, Brother Fang!"
The person on the phone teased, "Why did you remember to call me, kid?"
Zhao Dong said politely, "By the way, I'm going to see Lao Mo tonight. Is he at home today?"
The explanation on the phone was, "Wait for me."
As he said that, the phone went silent for a while, and he quickly replied: "The boss said, just bring Miss Su over to him, don't buy anything else!"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, someone will definitely bring it and let Lao Mo prepare some good wine and food. I haven't eaten yet!"
The reply on the phone was, "Okay, call me when you get off the toll station and I'll pick you up."
After hanging up the phone, Sophie also walked back with the gift, "I'm pressed for time and don't have time to prepare anything. Can you see if it suits me?"
Zhao Dong took it and looked down to see wine, tea, and Tianzhou's local specialties.
The items are not expensive and just right.
As he opened the trunk, he said, "That's enough. If I buy more, I'll feel bad."
Sophie punched her fist and said, "Really, are there people like you?"
"By the way, does Uncle Mo like to play chess?"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "I like it, but it's just a bad chess piece!"
Sophie tugged at it and said, "Then you can send me back. I have a chess set at home. I collected it a few years ago. I heard it is a treasure of a certain master. It is quite old. Uncle Mo might like it."
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "Okay, forget about chess. It would be a waste for you to give him such a good thing!"
Sophie was speechless and couldn't control Zhao Dong.
...
Chatting along the way, time passed quickly.
When they arrived in the provincial capital, as soon as they left the toll station, Zhao Dong dialed the phone and said, "Brother Fang, I'm here."
Brother Fang said with a smile, "It's almost time. I'm waiting outside the toll station. I'll turn on the double flashers and you'll see me when you come out!"
Zhao Dong hung up the phone and as soon as he left the toll station, he saw someone.
Brother Fang waved over and motioned for Zhao Dong to follow.
Two cars entered the city one behind the other.
Sophie was surprised, "Zhao Dong, you can't find your way to the provincial capital, why do you need someone to pick you up?"
Zhao Dong explained, "I can find the road, but I can't find Lao Mo's house."
Sophie was stunned, "What are you talking about? You haven't been to Uncle Mo's house either?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "Yes, I haven't been there."
Sophie couldn't understand, "You have such a good relationship with Uncle Mo, how come you haven't been to his house?"
Zhao Dong explained, "Uncle Mo is not from here. He has been working in other provinces in the past few years."
"When I was young, he always brought my aunt to Tianzhou to visit me. It was only in the past two years that I moved to the provincial capital."
"It's just that I was serving as a soldier at that time and didn't have time to visit."
