The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 298

When Wang Shulan returned to Hohhot, Zhou Xiaomei was picking up her son and Xiaoying from the kindergarten and was about to go home. When she saw Wang Shulan coming, she called home and said that she would not go back and took the children to eat outside.

The two of them chose a copper pot to cook. After sitting down, Wang Shulan asked first: "Have you been raising two children?"

"No, my mother picked it up. I happened to be free today, so I went to pick it up. Xiaoying lives at my house for the past two days, and Xiaolong will be my mother's companion. The two children can play together." Zhou Xiaomei said.

Wang Shulan jokingly asked: "The two children can play together, what about the two adults?" After talking, she laughed.

"You two adults can't play together." Zhou Xiaomei also laughed.

"Actually, I think he's pretty good." Wang Shulan said half seriously and half jokingly.

"It's pretty good, but I didn't think about that, it's impossible."

"Look down on the incompetent?"

"It's not that I look down on it, it's that I didn't think about it at all."

"In the world, a woman matches a man, and a man matches a woman. I think you two are very good. Xiao Cao is honest and responsible, takes care of the family, treats children well, and is filial. Find someone like this who can be at ease and know the cold and the hot." " Wang Shulan said completely seriously.

Zhou Xiaomei cooperated and said, "It's very good, you can consider it."

"Are you talking about my father?" Xiaoying next to her asked like a little adult, her big black eyes were clear and innocent.

The two adults laughed, and Wang Shulan pinched Xiao Yingfan's little face affectionately, and said, "Yes, it's about your father."

Xiaoying looked at Zhou Xiaomei, blinked, and asked Tongyan Wuji: "Aunt Xiaomei, how about my father?"

"Okay." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Oh, I think it's pretty good too—" Xiaoying said.

"I think Uncle Cao is pretty good too." Xiaolong said.

The child's words made the adults laugh, and they found it a little inappropriate to talk about it in front of the child. Nowadays, the child looks like he doesn't understand everything, but in fact he understands everything, so he just doesn't talk about it.

Precocious.

Wang Shulan told Zhou Xiaomei about Tong Xin. Zhou Xiaomei didn't comment on Tong Xin's ending, but said that if she really wanted to go back to Aqiao to work, she would arrange it in Jining store and ask them to be together as a family of three.

Wang Shulan said: "Now the Inner Mongolia area is handed over to Huang Lijuan. Why do you arrange it? I won't participate."

"The main thing is that my uncle nods, and I think he can agree. I asked Mulan to study, and I will take her with her for a while when she comes back. After the Chinese New Year, I have to run behind my uncle's ass." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Your uncle is training you." Wang Shulan said.

"Well, the main reason is that he is too tired and in poor health."

"You can take care of him by his side—by the way, after I finish handing over the matter here to Huang Lijuan, we will go to Beautiful Valley for two days and visit your dad by the way."

"Okay, wait for Mulan to come back."

In winter, the days are short and it gets dark quickly. After eating hot pot, the street is already brightly lit until night.

Zhou Xiaomei returned home with her two children, and her mother had already eaten and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.The two children played coquettishly with the old lady for a while, and then went back to the room to play their games.

Zhou Xiaomei came back early on a rare occasion, and sat down next to her mother to watch TV together.

"Your father said that his place is very good. It's not cold at all. It's very comfortable to sleep on the kang." The old lady said.

"Do you want to go?" Zhou Xiaomei asked with a smile.

"I want to go. Are you taking care of the children?" The old lady gave her daughter a white look.

Zhou Xiaomei smiled.

"You didn't see anyone this day, and you ran 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 are you still looking for a babysitter? It doesn't cost money? It's a lot of money --- only people who are officials are looking for a nanny, and you are an official?" the old lady yelled.

"Don't you take it easy when looking for a nanny?"

"Be brisk?" The old lady looked her daughter up and down, "I can still be brisk? I owe you in my previous life."

"Hehe, it's not that creditors don't have children, or 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—you plan to be alone, and I will stay with you forever?"

"What's the matter? Find me one?"

At this time Xiaoying ran out of the room and shouted: "Grandma, where is my doll?"

"It's on the sofa." The old lady pointed to the doll on the sofa.

Xiaoying ran over to pick up the doll and ran back to the room.

The old lady seemed to have thought of something, she turned her head and asked her daughter, "Xiao Cao hasn't been here for a few days, what are you up to?"

"What can he be busy with? Go to work." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"When you went to Suzhou, he came to look at it every day. He also bought the food. It's winter, so I'm afraid I'll bump into it when I go downstairs."

This is the second time I heard Cao Jiadong mentioned today, and this person appeared naturally in front of Zhou Xiaomei.But it was only for a moment, and soon disappeared.

"You said that it's not easy for Xiao Cao to take care of two children—he's a nice person, and if there is one who is suitable, he should find one." The old lady said, talking to herself a little.

Zhou Xiaomei said, "Oh my god, it's not enough for you to worry about."

The old lady ignored it and continued: "His conditions are not easy to deal with, two children, whoever enters the door does not want to be a stepmother, unless they find someone to take care of the children, the two families make do together——"

"Look at what you said, is it okay? If it's okay, it's better not to look for it." Zhou Xiaomei objected.

"You're not good enough, that's what counts." The old lady said angrily.

"If not, live alone."

"Don't start from the lightness of the upper lip touching the lower lip. There is no one in the world who looks like you."

Zhou Xiaomei came to complain about the TV, pressing the remote control back and forth 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 restaurant, so there is no one suitable for Xiao Cao?"

"My daily chores, why pay attention to this."

"That's right, I'm still half a catty."

"Mom—" Zhou Xiaomei stomped her feet angrily.

"Actually——Mei, I think Xiao Cao is quite a good person. He is not as eloquent as other men, but honestly, in this society, such a person is not bad——" said the old lady.

Zhou Xiaomei skipped Heilongjiang TV's anti-Japanese drama and switched to "The Voice of China".

"Don't look at people by their appearance. It's better to look good than to eat. It's better than anything else to be able to live an honest life. And don't look for those who run outside. They can say that they are unreliable. It doesn't necessarily mean anything——
I feel—"

"You think I'm suitable for him, don't you?" Zhou Xiaomei stopped her mother's words and asked.

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, and she didn't know what to say.

"Mom, don't worry about it, we are not suitable." Zhou Xiaomei said seriously.

"Why isn't it suitable? You know it's not suitable without trying it?" the old lady asked.

"Can this thing be tried? If it's not suitable, it's not suitable."

After Zhou Xiaomei finished speaking, she got up and went back to her room angrily. The old lady was also angry. She pressed the remote control to turn off the TV, and then shouted for the two children to take a bath and go to bed.
