Around four o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people from Lin Mai returned to the city.
Ah Huang was lazily basking in the sun in the yard.
Seeing that all the owners were back, they ran over excitedly.
Rubbing on this leg, licking on that hand, the tail almost broke.
Before the group of people entered the house, Fang Zhuoyue ran out of the house and gestured to Lin Mai: "Sister-in-law, I installed the small cold storage at Fuduoduo Market for you, how do you want to thank me?
"
"I'll cook a big dinner for you tomorrow night."
"Why can't we do it tonight?"
"I don't have time tonight. I promised Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao a long time ago that I would go to their house for dinner. It's hard to miss the appointment."
Lin Mai turned around and asked Fang Zhuoran: "Can you go with me?"
Fang Zhuoran readily agreed.
He wished he could appear more in her circle and let everyone know that he was her fiancé.
Doudou ran over and hugged Lin Mai's legs, raised her little head and said, "Mom, mom, I want to go too."
Lin Mai picked her up and kissed her: "Of course I'll take you there."
Fang Zhuoyue touched his nose and said to Lin Mai: "Sister-in-law, go to Uncle Tao's house. If you see Sister Tao, say thank you to her."
Lin Mai put Dou Dou on the ground and asked, "Why should I thank her?"
Fang Zhuoyue was a little shy: "She always comes over to cook for me these days~"
Everyone became curious.
"Why did Zhiyun come to cook for you?" Grandma Fang asked gossiping.
Fang Zhuoyue told them the whole story hesitantly.
In the past few days since they returned to the countryside, Fang Zhuoyue has been installing a small cold storage at Fuduoduo Vegetable Market in Linmai.
Tao Zhiyun accompanied her parents to the market to buy vegetables. When she saw him eating box lunches like the employees at Fuduoduo market, she talked and cared about him.
Then I realized that during the big holiday, he not only had to work, but also couldn't eat delicious food, so he volunteered to cook lunch and dinner for him every day.
Grandma Fang immediately gave Fang Zhuoyue a few words: "Before we left, your sister-in-law prepared all the dishes for you for the past three days. You just need to fry them in the pot, but you didn't even want to do it, and Xiao Tao even asked Xiao Tao to cook them."
You cook, what do you think it is for?"
Fang Zhuoyue immediately argued: "I can install cold storage, repair cars, and assemble various machines."
He turned to Lin Mai and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll be strict."
Lin Mai gave him a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
Doudou pounced on Fang Zhuoyue: "Uncle is the most powerful!"
Fang Zhuoran looked at his watch, raised his head and said to Lin Mai: "It's still early, let's move your things over now."
Lin Mai was startled for a moment: "So urgent?"
She originally planned to wait until Zhou Caiyun was settled before moving to the villa.
"If you have time now, move now." Fang Zhuoran said without hesitation.
Fang Zhuoyue was very happy when he heard that Lin Mai was moving to live with them.
Together with Fang Zhuoran, we moved all Lin Mai's clothes and bedding to the villa.
I plan to find a warehouse to store the furniture and pots and pans.
Especially those antique furniture, Lin Mai must collect them carefully.
Zhou Caiyun felt a little sad when she saw that Lin Mai had moved to a villa, and that she was about to live in Lin Mai's small single room. The two of them would be separated from now on.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Mai, Fang Zhuoran and Doudou went to Tao's father's and Tao's mother's house for dinner with generous gifts.
Everyone in the Tao family was waiting for Lin Mai's arrival at Tao's father's and Tao's mother's house. It was an unexpected surprise to see that she not only brought Doudou but also Fang Zhuoran.
Tao's father and Tao's mother's family dinner was very rich in dishes, including chicken, duck, and fish.
After everyone finished the meal in a lively and leisurely manner, Lin Mai and his party were about to leave.
She had been too busy in the countryside these past few days, and she wanted to go home early and have a good rest.
Tao Zhiyun said: "I will go with you."
Brother Tao asked hesitantly: "You and Qiqi will move back today?"
Since being kidnapped by Ma Tao and his son last time, Tao Zhiyun, mother and son have been living in their parents' home for safety.
Tao's mother advised: "It's not like we can't accommodate your mother and son at home. Don't go back. What if we get entangled with Ma Tao and his son again?"
Tao Zhiyun said: "It's been so many days and I haven't seen any movement from the beastly father and son. I guess Lin Mai was scared to death and won't come again."
Tao's father and Tao's mother saw that Tao Zhiyun insisted on moving back, so they had no choice but to comply with her.
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran drove Tao Zhiyun back to the family community of Chunlei Garment Factory before returning to the villa.
Tao Zhiyun was busy cleaning up the house as soon as he returned home. No one had lived in it for a week, and a thin layer of dust accumulated in the house.
While she was busy, an aunt who usually only nodded her acquaintance suddenly came to her door.
Although Tao Zhiyun was a little surprised, he still entertained her warmly.
The aunt waved her hand: "Xiao Tao, don't be busy. I'll tell you something and leave."
Tao Zhiyun handed her the poured tea and asked with a smile: "What's going on?"
"What do you think of Chief Lu?"
As soon as Tao Zhiyun heard this, he immediately understood that this aunt came here to be a matchmaker for Section Chief Lu.
She sat down opposite the aunt and smiled: "Chief Lu Ke is a very nice person. I feel that he is a good match for your Yingzi."
Yingzi is the eldest daughter of this aunt. Her husband has been ill and passed away several years ago. It is not easy for a person to live alone with a pair of children.
The aunt's expression was stiff and she said: "Yingzi's condition is not good, how can Section Chief Lu like her?"
Tao Zhiyun smiled but said nothing.
The aunt took a sip of tea and said, "You and Section Chief Lu are a perfect match."
Tao Zhiyun frowned and said, "How do you see that he and I are a perfect match?
Is it appearance, family background, or ability to make money?”
Her series of sharp questions left Yingzi's mother completely overwhelmed.
She secretly looked at Tao Zhiyun, and was very confused. How could this child become so powerful, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth? He used to have a very soft personality.
Yingzi's mother smiled sarcastically: "Xiao Tao, you can't say that..."
Before she could finish her words, she was coldly interrupted by Tao Zhiyun: "Just tell me directly, what is the purpose of your coming to my house?"
Yingzi's mother was overwhelmed by her momentum and stuttered when she spoke: "I... just want to bring you and Chief Lu together."
"Stop the matchmaking, I don't want to get married in the future!"
Tao Zhiyun pointed to the door of his house, "I still have to clean up the house and I don't have time to accompany you. Please go back!"
Seeing Tao Zhiyun driving her away, Yingzi's mother finally lost her composure and said angrily: "I'm kindly trying to be a matchmaker for you, why do you have such an attitude?"
Tao Zhiyun said disdainfully: "I want you to be kind? Besides, are you really kind?
A man with four children, you don’t even want him as your son-in-law, but you introduce him to me, you are so kind-hearted!"
Yingzi's mother said unhappily: "Didn't I explain it to you? Our Yingzi is not worthy of Section Chief Lu."
Tao Zhiyun was aggressive: "Chief Lu is not good enough for me, so why are you here to hold me accountable?"
Yingzi's mother blushed at Tao Zhiyun's rebuke: "Men are different from women. No matter how old a man is, he is a hot commodity.
As long as a woman is divorced, no matter how good the conditions are, her worth will be ruined, so no one is worthy of your statement, Chief Lu."
Tao Zhiyun suddenly raised his eyes sharply and shouted: "Get out!"
Yingzi's mother still wanted to refuse to leave, so Tao Zhiyun took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen and bluffed at her: "If you don't leave, I will kill you!"
Yingzi's mother was so frightened that she ran away, rolled down the stairs, and limped to Chief Lu's house.
The sad look on his face made him lose heart. Tao Zhiyun had no interest in him at all.
On the surface, Section Chief Lu said polite things like it doesn't matter, I'll take the trouble, but in his heart he was determined to win Tao Zhiyun.
