Lin Mai was making saliva chicken. Hearing this, he asked nonchalantly: "What are you talking about?"
"That's my ex-girlfriend, Gu Manshi. She and I broke up a long time ago."
Lin Mai smiled: "Your brother has already told me."
Fang Zhuoran continued: "I didn't deliberately keep the photo of me and Gu Manshi. I just used that photo as a bookmark. Do you believe it?"
Lin Mai stopped with his busy hands, was silent for a while, and said: "I am not a person with high emotional intelligence.
I don’t know how to answer you, let alone how to handle it perfectly.
But I choose to believe you.
But I don’t want you to continue to bookmark photos of you and your ex-girlfriend.
That way you will see her often and think of her.
I hope the person you always think of is me, not other women."
Fang Zhuoran said frankly: "It was my fault and I won't do it again."
Seeing what he said, Lin Mai changed the subject: "I want to transfer the milk you ordered for me and Doudou to grandpa and grandma. They are older and need more milk."
Fang Zhuoran muttered: "This is difficult to handle. Grandpa and grandma won't drink it. They will definitely give it to Doudou and Fuqiang Dad."
Ever since his grandparents came to the city, Lin Mai let them drink the fresh milk from the Yangtze River delivered by the milkman every day.
He said that Doudou had a heart disease and was growing tall, so he had to drink milk.
He also said that Fang Zhuoran and Lin Mai worked too hard every day and should drink fresh milk to keep fit.
They are old and don't work, so it doesn't matter whether they drink milk or not.
Because Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran were determined not to drink, the final arrangement was to have one bottle of Doudou and one bottle of Fugui Pa.
Fang Zhuoran was worried that even if the milk was transferred to his grandparents, it would eventually end up in the mouths of Doudou and Fuqiang's father.
Lin Mai was silent for a moment and said: "It's better to turn around. Grandpa and grandma want to give Doudou and Fugui dad a drink, so let them go.
I bought two fresh milk bottles from the milkman and filled them with milk made from milk powder.
I told my grandparents that Doudou and I also have fresh milk.
When Dad Fuqiang recovers from his illness and my grandparents see that Doudou and I have fresh milk, they will drink those two bottles of fresh milk."
Fang Zhuoran nodded: "Good idea."
After more than an hour of struggle, a sumptuous dinner was ready.
Saliva chicken, beer duck, steamed Wuchang fish...there are more than a dozen dishes.
Fang Zhuoyue looked at the table full of delicacies and smiled happily: "I can eat the dishes cooked by my sister-in-law again!"
Doudou sat on the chair and imitated him, clapped her hands and said, "I can eat mom's cooking again!"
After dinner, everyone had a hearty meal, cleared away the dishes, and then the whole family went to the back garden to cultivate a vegetable patch.
Fu Qiang's crazy mother also went there, and Fu Qiang went to deliver dinner to his father.
When Lin Mai saw that Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang wanted to cultivate a rectangular vegetable plot, they objected on the spot.
I feel that cultivating the vegetable patch like that will ruin the beauty of the entire back garden.
Grandma Fang said: "Aren't all vegetable fields like this?"
Lin Mai smiled and said: "It can also be like a garden, which is both beautiful and practical."
She had this idea, which was inspired by a vegetable garden called Zhang Xinyu's house in her previous life.
Her garden-style vegetable patch became popular all over the Internet.
Lin Mai made improvements based on her garden vegetable plot and showed them to everyone.
Although everyone thought it was good, no one would build the kind of garden-style vegetable plot Lin Mai mentioned because no one was a professional gardener.
To cultivate the kind of beautiful vegetable garden that Lin Mai mentioned, you have to hire a landscaper.
Fang Zhuoran asked Lin Mai to draw the drawings, and he went to hire a landscaper to build a garden-style vegetable garden according to the drawings.
The group returned to the house and gathered around Lin Mai to watch her draw the design.
This garden-style vegetable garden can not only grow vegetables, but also many fruit trees and flowers. In short, they complement each other.
Lin Mai divided the vegetable plot into small pieces, each of which was three to nine square meters. There were ten plots in total, and ten kinds of vegetables could be grown.
More than a dozen fruit trees can be planted, and the rest of the area is either planted with flowers or designed as paths.
Everyone reported their favorite fruit trees with great interest, and asked Fang Zhuoran to arrange for the gardener to plant them so that they could eat their favorite fruits in the future.
Fuqiang's crazy mother joined in the fun and rewarded her with a peach.
Lin Mai reported her favorite pomegranates and tangerines.
She actually loves to eat tropical fruits such as lychee and mango. Of course, except for durian, she really can't accept the taste of durian.
But the climate in Jiangcheng makes it impossible to grow tropical fruits, so we have to give up.
We stayed in the villa until eight o'clock, when Lin Mai was about to go home.
She also wanted to go back and study another set of test papers before going to bed.
Fang Zhuoran rode her bicycle and took her home, telling her to lock the door at night before leaving.
When he returned to the villa, he went upstairs to read.
When he walked to the desk, he saw a stack of photos on the desk.
He picked up the photos curiously and looked at several of them in succession, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
Those photos were all photos taken by Lin Mai for posters.
He tapped the little girl in the photo with his finger: "I will use your photo as a bookmark from now on. I will only see you and think of you every day."
…
Lin Mai was the only one in the large house of one to two hundred square meters, which looked very deserted.
But when she was obsessed with the test paper, being deserted and so on had nothing to do with her.
It took more than two hours to finish a set of test papers, and the results were not bad. Lin Mai took a bath and slept very well at night.
Fang Zhuoyue played with Doudou at Grandpa Fang's and Grandma Fang's house until after nine o'clock before leaving.
It was so late and there was no car back to the factory, so he had to go back to his home.
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Wenfang asked: "Did you take your father's two bottles of Wuliangye?"
Although her family's conditions are good, Wuliangye is not cheap.
Two bottles of Wuliangye were missing, so Wang Wenfang still wanted to ask.
She had to know who her stupid son gave those two bottles of Wuliangye to.
Fang Zhuoyue said impatiently: "I took it."
"Who did you give it to?"
"Take it to have a drink with your colleagues."
Wang Wenfang looked at him suspiciously: "You would take such expensive wine to compete with colleagues? Who are you kidding!"
Fang Weiguo also asked seriously: "Tell me the truth, who did you give those two bottles of Wuliangye to?"
Fang Zhuoyue didn't want to tell them that his grandparents had moved to Jiangcheng, so that they wouldn't bother the two elderly people.
So he said: "It's given to the person it belongs to. Don't ask about it. I won't tell you if you ask!"
After that, he entered his room.
Fang Weiguo was so angry that the elder refused to accept the fault of the couple and ignored them, while the younger was also rebellious.
He can still understand that the older one is not close to his wife.
But there was a gap between the younger one and his wife, which he couldn't understand at all.
He is the biological child of his wife. Unlike his eldest brother, he has no blood relationship with Wang Wenfang, so naturally he cannot get close to her.
Wang Wenfang chased her son to his room and asked, "I greeted you a few days ago. You went on a blind date with Aunt Wang's daughter this afternoon. Why didn't you go?"
Fang Zhuoyue said impatiently: "I've told you that I can't go on a blind date, yet you insist on having your own way, and now you're blaming me!"
Wang Wenfang said sadly: "I arranged a blind date for you not for the sake of you and your father.
Aunt Wang's daughter is excellent and beautiful, and she is a perfect match for you.
Moreover, Uncle Wang has been helpful to your father's future and has so many benefits. It would be a pity not to go on a blind date."
Fang Zhuoyue sneered: "Don't say it's for my own good, just say it's for your own good.
In the past, I wanted to use my elder brother as a stepping stone, but now I want to use me as a stepping stone, pretending that I can’t see it!”
He packed a few sets of his own clothes and was about to go out.
Wang Wenfang asked: "It's so late, where are you going?"
"Going anywhere is better than staying at home." Fang Zhuoyue opened the door and left.
Fang Weiguo looked at his youngest son's leaving figure and felt his head hurt.
Neither of his two sons was worry-free, and neither one was willing to help him.
Fang Zhuoran went straight to Fang Zhuoran's villa with a few changes of clothes.
Anyway, the eldest brother's villa has many rooms, so it doesn't matter if he moves there.
It was already past ten o'clock at night when Fang Zhuoyue arrived at the villa.
Fang Zhuoran and the others were preparing to sleep when they heard Ah Huang barking in the direction of the door.
Then I heard Fang Zhuoyue calling the door.
Fang Zhuoran ran to open the courtyard door, and when he saw Fang Zhuoran coming, he asked strangely: "Why are you here?"
Fang Zhuoyue sighed and told him the whole story in a few words.
Fang Zhuoran didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fang Weiguo and his wife could just use him as a stepping stone. After all, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather.
But for the sake of their own interests, he and his wife wanted to sacrifice even the happiness of their common and only son's life. They were so greedy that it was outrageous!
