The garden downstairs, a forest, an open space paved with stone slabs...
Someone was feeding pigeons in the open space. Ellie was taking a walk and was about to go over to take a look when the phone rang: "Ellie, it's time to go home and cook."
"I won't be back tonight. You and Bella can cook for yourself or go out to eat." Ellie said with a shy face.
Call from Katherine: "You're at Riverdale Ranch."
"Hmm. What's wrong with giving something to my dear Mo Mo?"
"Oh my God, your progress is too fast. You actually delivered it to your door. Are you stupid?"
"What? There's only one class tomorrow, I'll come over to play..."
"I'm telling you. I have more experience with men than you. They won't cherish you if you get them too easily."
Ellie was speechless: "You are thinking too much. We should... probably, we haven't progressed yet..." Ellie thought of the feeling of Chen Mo hugging her in the office just now, and it was quite good: "I am both
An adult."
"Let me tell you. I think it's not good for you to send it to your door like this..."
"You seem to have had sex for the first time when you were 14? I'm 19, almost 20." Ellie's face turned red and hot as she spoke.
"Okay. I'm just doing it for your own good... Anyway, it's always right for girls to be more reserved. Chen Mo is still Chinese. Chinese people are very traditional..."
"I can deal with my feelings. There's nothing wrong with tradition."
"That's it."
"Bye-Bye……"
After hanging up the phone, Ellie puffed up her cheeks unconsciously and walked towards the pigeons.
Glutinous rice dumplings are grabbing mealworms among the pigeons.
The sales clerk who was feeding the pigeons was a good-looking young man... When he saw Ellie, he was suddenly stunned...
Ellie walked over, and the pigeon flapped its wings and flew away. The glutinous rice dumpling left behind turned to look at Ellie and chirped.
Ellie smiled and grabbed the glutinous rice dumplings...
The young man came back to his senses: "Hey, let it go."
"I won't let go." Ellie turned her head and reached out to pinch the glutinous rice dumpling's cheek.
The young man was amazed by Ellie's pure appearance: "You, are you a new employee?"
"Yeah." Ellie pursed her lips and stared: "What's wrong?"
"It is our boss's little bird, and he is his favorite little guy. If your boss finds out that you are playing with his bird, you may be fired."
Ellie pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm so cute, my boss won't fire me, he will only think about how to make unspoken rules for me."
The young man was speechless and stunned: "Have you met the boss? He will tell you unspoken rules, don't make fun of me."
"No." Ellie looked thoughtful.
"If you want to rely on your body to get ahead, you'd better give up this idea. Anyway, you can't play with the boss's little bird..."
Play the boss's bird...
Ellie's expression gradually solidified, revealing the black's signature question mark and doubtful expression...
Ellie looked straight at the young man: "Are you teasing me?"
"What?" The young man was a little dazed.
Ellie looked at this naturally dazed employee and was a little speechless.
Xiaoniao means little bird in English. But in Chinese language, it has another meaning...
Ellie automatically translated the young man's language into Chinese, and the little bird playing the boss... was evil.
Speechless...
Ai Li smiled awkwardly: "I'm not an employee of the ranch. I'm a friend of Chen Mo... It's called Nuo Rice Dumpling, I know it." Ai Li said and put the Nuo Rice Dumpling on her shoulder.
Xiaotuanzi glanced at the young man, chirped, and combed the feathers on Ellie's shoulders.
The young man looked at it and then felt relieved: "Our boss loves glutinous rice dumplings very much and is his most beloved pet. You should be familiar with them?"
Ai Li showed a sweet smile: "Of course, Chen Mo and I are lovers. Go to work quickly and don't let him see you being lazy, otherwise..."
The young man looked stunned and said goodbye! He quickly slipped away...
…
After Chen Mo and Bai Xiaoou made a phone call, they called the ranch's finance department and asked them to get their financial statements tomorrow...
Chen Mo didn't want to work anymore, he just wanted to go out and walk around with Ai Li.
In the garden, Ellie is holding glutinous rice dumplings in her hands, and the two of them are staring at each other. Who is more bored?
Chen Mo walked over quickly: "Let's go home."
Ellie looked at the time: "I have to go back to San Jose, it's getting late."
"Don't you have classes tomorrow?" Chen Mo took Ellie's hand and asked.
"Who said that."
"You...didn't you say that it's okay to skip class occasionally? Let's go, let's go to the small town supermarket to see what delicious food there is."
"It's okay to skip class occasionally, but you have to skip class if you don't express yourself." Ellie coyly thought about what Catherine had just told her on the phone. All adults know what will happen if she stays overnight.
Isn't this progress too fast and makes Chen Mo think that she is a frivolous woman? This is not good.
From what I read online, Chinese men are very traditional...
"My cat at home can do backflips. Are you sure you don't want to go and take a look?" Chen Mo's expression was serious and serious.
"Ah?" Ellie's face was full of doubts: "Really?"
"Um."
"The cat that can do backflips..."
As long as she was in front of Chen Mo, Ai Li's smart mind seemed to freeze up and she lost the ability to think. It took her a few seconds to react. Her face was slightly hot, and she nodded lightly shyly.
Girls are thin-skinned. If you want her to come to your house, you have to find a reason...
First we went to the small town of Saint Beni.
The town of Saint-Béni has changed a lot, with many newly built houses and houses under construction.
The supermarket in the town moved its location and built a new supermarket of almost 200 square meters, with a fresh food section and a food section.
When he walked into the supermarket, the supermarket proprietress smiled and looked at Chen Mo and said hello.
Chen Mo responded with a smile.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Chen Mo asked as he walked to the fresh food area.
"casual."
Chen Mo wants to eat...seafood at night.
You know the taste of the sea...I haven't tasted it for a long time.
"Mrs. Mark."
The supermarket owner’s name was Mark, and Mrs. Mark, the proprietress’s wife, came over quickly: “What’s the matter?”
"When did these clams arrive?"
"The clams delivered this morning are very fresh." Mrs. Mark said with a smile: "Oysters, golden clams, abalone and other seafood will be delivered tomorrow."
There was no seafood in the supermarket some time ago, so it was a coincidence that I came here today.
"These clams have spit out sand, right? They can be eaten directly after buying them." Chen Mo asked.
"Spitted out sand."
Chen Mo bought twelve pounds of clams at one time. He also weighed some garlic, millet peppers, green onions...
"There's so much, can you finish it?" Ellie complained when she went out to the supermarket.
"I'm afraid it's not enough to eat, so this is just how much."
