When Wang Shulan returned to Hohhot, Zhou Xiaomei was picking up her son and Xiaoying from the kindergarten and preparing to go home. When she saw Wang Shulan coming, she called her home and told her not to go back yet, but to take her children to eat outside.
The two of them chose a copper pot hot pot restaurant. After sitting down, Wang Shulan asked first: "You have two children?"
"No, it was my mother who picked her up. I happened to be free today, so I went to pick her up. Xiaoying stayed at my house these two days, and Xiaolong kept my mother company, so the two children could play together." Zhou Xiaomei said.
Wang Shulan asked jokingly: "The two children can play together, but what about the two adults?" After saying this, she laughed.
"If you two adults are not good enough, we can't play together." Zhou Xiaomei also laughed.
"Actually, I think he's quite good." Wang Shulan said half seriously and half jokingly.
"It's pretty good, but I didn't think about it that way. It's simply impossible."
"Look down on the incompetent?"
"It's not that I look down upon it, it's that I didn't think about it at all."
"In the world, it's all about A-girls matching D-boys, and A-boys matching D-girls. I think you two are very good. Xiao Cao is an honest man who cares about his family, is good to his children, and is filial. Find someone who is at ease and understands both cold and hot.
." Wang Shulan said completely seriously.
Zhou Xiaomei cooperated: "It's very good, I can consider it."
"Are you talking about my father?" Xiaoying next to him asked like a little adult, with a pair of big black eyes, clear and innocent.
The two adults laughed, and Wang Shulan pinched Xiaoying's pink little face affectionately and said, "Yes, I'm talking about your father."
Xiaoying looked at Zhou Xiaomei, blinked, and asked Tong Yanwuji: "Aunt Xiaomei, do you think my father is good?"
"Okay." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"Oh, I think it's pretty good -------" Xiaoying said.
"I think Uncle Cao is pretty good," Xiaolong said.
The child's words made the adults laugh, and they realized that it was a bit inappropriate to say this in front of children. Today's children seem to understand nothing, but in fact they understand everything, they just don't say it.
Precocious.
Wang Shulan told Zhou Xiaomei about Tong Xin. Zhou Xiaomei didn't comment on Tong Xin's ending. She just said that if she really wanted to go back to Aqiao, she could arrange it at Jining store and let the three of them stay together.
Wang Shulan said: "Now that the Inner Mongolia area is handed over to Huang Lijuan, I will not participate in the arrangements for you to decide."
"The main thing is that my brother-in-law has to nod, and I guess he can agree. I asked Mulan to study, and I will take care of her for a while when she comes back. After the Chinese New Year, I will have to follow my brother-in-law." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"Your brother-in-law trained you." Wang Shulan said.
"Well, the main reason is that he is too tired and not in good health."
"You can take better care of him - by the way, after I finish handing over the affairs here to Huang Lijuan, we will go to Beautiful Valley for two days and visit your dad by the way."
"Okay, I'll wait until Mulan comes back."
The days are short in winter and it gets dark quickly. After finishing the hot pot, the streets are already brightly lit at night.
Zhou Xiaomei returned home with her two children. Her mother had already eaten and was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The two children first acted coquettishly with the old lady for a while, and then went back to the room to play their games.
It was rare for Zhou Xiaomei to come home early, so she sat down next to her mother and watched TV together.
"Your dad said his place is nice. It's not cold at all. It's very comfortable to sleep on the fire bed," the old lady said.
"Do you want to go?" Zhou Xiaomei asked with a smile.
"I'd like to go. Are you taking care of the kids?" The old lady rolled her eyes at her daughter.
Zhou Xiaomei smiled.
"You haven't been seen all day, and you ran away as soon as you opened your eyes. I want to go anywhere, but I can't go anywhere."
"No, I'll find a nanny." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"Okay, why don't you find a nanny? It won't cost you money? Money is so expensive - only those who are officials find nannies. Are you an official?" the old lady said scornfully.
"Wouldn't you be more relaxed when looking for a nanny?"
"Bright?" The old lady looked her daughter up and down, "Can I still be brisk? I owe you in my previous life."
"Haha, it's not that creditors don't have children, it's not that enemies don't get together."
"It's still beautiful!" The old lady turned her head angrily, "I don't know if I'm worried or not. I'm over forty------I just plan to be alone. Will I stay with you for the rest of my life?"
"What about it? Find one for me?"
At this time, Xiaoying ran out of the room and shouted: "Grandma, where is my doll?"
"It's on the sofa." The old lady said, pointing to the doll on the sofa.
Xiaoying ran over, picked up the doll and ran back to the room.
The old lady seemed to have thought of something, turned her head and asked her daughter: "Xiao Cao hasn't been here for several days, what are you busy with?"
"What can he do? Just go to work." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"When you went to Suzhou, he came over every day to see you. He also bought the vegetables. It was so cold in the winter, so he was afraid that I would bump into you when I went downstairs."
This was the second time today that I heard someone talking about Cao Jiadong. This person naturally appeared in front of Zhou Xiaomei's eyes. But it only happened for a moment and disappeared quickly.
"You said it's not easy for Xiao Cao to raise two children - he is a very nice person. If there is a suitable one, he should find one." The old lady said, a bit to herself.
Zhou Xiaomei said: "Oh my god, I don't have enough for you to worry about."
The old lady ignored it and continued: "His conditions are not easy to get. With two children, no one wants to be a stepmother unless they find someone to take care of the children. The two families can make do together--"
"Look at what you said, it's okay? If it's okay, it's better not to look for it." Zhou Xiaomei objected.
"You're not a good person, so you have to figure it out." The old lady said angrily.
"If not, just live alone."
"Don't touch your upper lip to your lower lip so lightly. There is no one like you in the world."
Zhou Xiaomei got angry and complained about the TV, pressing the remote control to change channels.
The old lady laughed when she saw her like this, and asked in a tentative tone: "There are so many women in your hotel, but there is no one suitable for Xiao Cao?"
"I go about my daily cleaning, so I don't pay attention to this."
"That's right, I'm still half as good as myself."
"Mom——" Zhou Xiaomei stamped her foot angrily.
"Actually---Mei, I think Xiao Cao is quite nice. He is not as eloquent as other men, but he is honest and responsible. In today's society, such a person is good--" the old lady said
.
Zhou Xiaomei skipped Heilongjiang TV's anti-Japanese drama and switched to "The Voice of China".
"Don't look at people by their appearance. If you look good enough to live a honest life, it's better than anything else. Don't look for those who are running around outside and say they are unreliable. That's not necessarily what they are. ---
---
I feel-"
"You think I'm suitable for him, don't you?" Zhou Xiaomei stopped her mother and asked.
The old lady was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"Mom, don't worry, we are not suitable for each other." Zhou Xiaomei said seriously.
"Why doesn't it fit? You know it doesn't fit without trying it on?" the old lady asked.
"Can I try this thing? If it doesn't fit, it just doesn't fit."
After Zhou Xiaomei finished speaking, she got up and went back to the room angrily. The old lady was also angry. She pressed the remote control to turn off the TV, and then shouted to the two children to take a bath and go to bed. (To be continued)
