Chapter 234 Zhang Wentao wants to join the group
Windy courtyard.
After the meal, Mr. Ma was drinking tea with Barley in hand. Hu Youyu, who had finished washing the bowl, looked at the neatly tidied kitchen. He laughed happily and picked up the rag to wipe his hands.
He smiled and came closer.
As soon as he got down, he sat down opposite Master Ma and next to Damai: "Master Ma, give me a cup of tea as well, and reward me."
Seeing his behavior, Damai glanced at him unfavorably, said nothing, and spoke angrily.
Seeing the two of them, Mr. Ma couldn't help but feel happy. After holding a teacup for Hu Youyu with a bamboo clip, he filled the other's cup with tea.
It’s the same as Xie Zhiyao’s, it’s a bit full.
There is an old saying: "The tea is 70% full, leaving 30% is a favor."
A full cup of tea not only makes people realize that water will overflow when it is full, but also has a hint.
There is an unwelcome connotation in this suggestion.
But what Ma Ye wants to express is...
He glanced at Hu Youyu and picked up the cup. After drinking it as nonchalantly as Zhang Wentao, he felt that what he wanted to express was the latter.
After looking at each other shamelessly, he continued the topic with Damai:
"It's also good to go back and have a rest, get used to the rhythm, and then go find a job."
Damai shook his head, picked up his tea cup, took a sip and said, "I won't be able to rest, and I don't plan to find a job. I want to continue writing a book."
Mr. Ma said "Oh?", a little surprised, but also a little understanding: "Have you really made the decision to continue writing a book?"
Damai nodded: "Well, I'm ready to write the outline of the next book. I'll start writing it after I finish this book."
After saying that, she explained with some embarrassment: "Master Ma, actually I am not stupid and want to succeed by writing books. But I feel that I really like writing novels.
Although it sometimes feels painful, isn’t pain the nutrient for creation?”
On the side, Hu Youyu heard this and sighed in agreement: "It's true, don't talk about creators like us, just look at Lao Zhang. It turns out that when he was in pain, he would make some desserts every day to comfort himself.
Now, I don’t even cook the food myself.”
Master Ma smiled after hearing this. He had not been involved in the affairs of the courtyard these days, he had only heard about it.
Hearing Hu Youyu suddenly sigh with emotion, he also wanted to eat the desserts Zhang Wentao brought back before, so he said while serving tea:
"This person grows up in pain, and he also seeks his own happiness and value in pain. But in a sweet and rich life, he will indulge in enjoyment.
Just understand, drink tea and drink tea.”
"Then, Mr. Ma, can the days of indulging in it you mentioned be considered the flower path of pursuit?"
…
The other side.
Follow the bluestone road to the asphalt road and follow it towards the fields.
From time to time, the cornfields in the night will make a "swishing" sound with the breeze, followed by the chirping of insects on the roadside, and behind them are the villages gradually disappearing.
Swinging my arms, listening to such sounds, the atmosphere of the countryside became stronger and stronger.
Xu Hongdou was chatting with her parents on her cell phone. Zhang Wentao followed him stupidly. When he saw the other person looking at him, he smiled.
On the phone, it was nothing more than Xu Hongdou's parents inquiring about their progress.
"Dou, why don't you bring Wen Tao back early and come to the house to see her and get to know her first?" Liu Guiqin, who had long known that her daughter was not on vacation, heard that the two were getting along well and wanted to meet her future son-in-law as soon as possible.
Her husband, Xu Jianguo, was staring at the huge ham and worrying.
A few days after the last one, here it is again.
Whether it's Longqing ham or Jinhua ham, someone has to eat it. But although this stuff is delicious, it can't be eaten every day.
No matter how good the food is, eating too much will make you tired.
Seeing that his wife was happily chatting, he said to Liu Guiqin: "Tell our family to stop sending things home. I can't stand it if this continues."
Liu Guiqin glanced at him with disgust, then also glanced at the ham he had just brought back with disgust, and said to the phone:
"Dou, did you hear what your dad said? Tell Wen Tao not to be so honest. We have everything at home, so don't buy any more."
Xu Hongdou smiled: "Okay, I understand, Mom. By the way, when will you move to a new home after the decoration is completed?"
"After a while, I need to add some flavor."
"Well, okay, Mom, I'll hang up now and get ready to go back. It's getting dark."
"Okay, then you say thank you to me, your dad and Wen Tao."
"I know, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Hongdou smiled and took Zhang Wentao's hand back, jokingly saying: "My dad is angry with you, so be careful when you see him."
Zhang Wentao was stunned for a moment, stared at it for a few seconds, and said with a confident smile: "Impossible."
"Really, I won't lie to you. My dad said that there is too much ham at home and he can't eat it, so he is worried." Xu Hongdou wrinkled her nose, tugged on the hand she was holding and said, "I'm tired from walking.
Let’s go back.”
"Hmm." Zhang Wentao stopped, turned around, and asked tentatively: "My dad won't really be angry with me because of this, right?"
"No, it just means that we bought a bit too much." Xu Hongdou looked up at the other party and said with a smile: "By the way, if you have time, tell my dad how to make ham that tastes better.
When you bought it, didn't you think that we had sent ham to your home before?"
"I remember, but Shi Tiandong bought Jinhua ham from someone. He bought it and I can't return it."
Thinking about the dilemma faced by his father-in-law, Zhang Wentao felt quite helpless.
Xu Hongdou pursed her lips slightly: "How about I give you my dad's WeChat message."
"No." Zhang Wentao decisively refused, then smiled and said: "How about you drag me into your family's group, so that I don't have to say it to your sister again, what do you think?"
Xu Hongdou looked up. She felt that this guy was really a bit of a bad learner...
You haven't even met your parents yet, and you want to be among your own family. Why is she so beautiful?
But when the other party mentioned her sister Xu Hongmi, she said: "My sister always bullies me. She is not as easy to deal with as me. You will be lucky when the time comes, haha."
After saying that, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the other party, having to deal with her sister who spoke with a knife.
She was still feeling distressed, but Zhang Wentao felt confident from nowhere, raised his head and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I know how to deal with elders best."
"Just you?"
Xu Hongdou burst out laughing, but she remembered very clearly how Zhang Wentao dealt with Aunt Agui. Whether it was in front of her parents or in front of her sister who was only a few years older.
This set of things is completely useless.
"Really, I'm not going to lie to you. If you don't believe me, just ask my aunts. They all praise me."
"Your aunt praised you? Haha. Why do I only remember that your aunt said on the phone that you didn't tell the truth?"
"Why don't I tell the truth?"
…
After coming out of Jingchen's house, Si Qing carried his bag and notebook to the door of Jingyuan.
The person on duty was still the security guard with the Chinese character that she met on the first day. Seeing him on duty, Si Qing smiled and stepped forward to say hello: "Brother Chen, you are on duty today."
"Ah, Manager Si. Have you just returned?"
When the security guard surnamed Chen saw that it was her, he remembered that the other party had given him some bank gifts in the morning, and said hello with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm just getting ready to go back."
Si Qing stopped with a smile, and after saying a few words to the other party, he came to his car with a satisfied smile.
Looking at the garden that she had been to for two days in a row, she sighed as she thought of what had happened here in the past two days.
Fortunately, things are not without progress.
At least Brother Chen just promised to help him keep an eye on the family's movements at night.
She smiled knowingly, thinking that if she just took some gifts from the bank and gave them to the other party, she would have someone to help her on that critical night.
During the day, when she was in Sister Chen's shop, she didn't just sit there and not think.
