…
Xiaomei was carefully checking the bill with her head down.
Xu Mengyao helped her confirm some numbers from time to time.
Although Huang's mother was anxious to know the news about her eldest daughter,
But seeing the two people busy at the table, he did not say anything to disturb them.
In order to divert her attention, she had to call her little daughter over.
"Xia, come here, let mom braid your hair."
Wenxia sat obediently in front of her mother, while her mother's fingers moved deftly and expertly through her black hair. Soon, two playful braids were complete.
Wenxia excitedly picked up the mirror and looked left and right, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Second sister, Sister Xiaomei, come and see my new hairstyle!" she called out loudly.
Xu Mengyao then raised her head and looked at the arrogant person in front of her, and replied with a smile: "It looks very good."
"Hey, I'm going to change into new clothes and go play with Xinxin." Wenxia immediately ran to his room.
Huang's mother finally found the opportunity to speak:
"Juan, when you're done, remember to call and ask your eldest sister when she can come back."
"Okay, I didn't forget, Mom. I'll type it after I finish calculating the last page." Xu Mengyao said.
After settling the bill, I called my fourth uncle, but no one answered the phone.
At this moment, Huang Wenrong's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mom, I'm back."
Huang's mother stood up immediately and saw her eldest daughter walking into the yard with light steps carrying a small backpack.
"Oh, Wenrong, why have you lost so much weight again?" Huang's mother looked at him carefully with concern.
Huang Wenrong explained with a smile: "The weather is too hot, so I can't eat much. And everyone in the crew is trying to lose weight, saying that they look better on camera if they are thinner."
Xu Mengyao saw that although her elder sister was a little thinner, her eyes were still bright and lively, so she knew that she must have been having a good time recently.
Then he asked curiously, "Sister, it seems that you have been very happy recently. Can you tell us what happened?"
Huang Wenrong smiled mysteriously,
"Did you figure it out? Director Zhang suggested before that I could try acting in movies in the future. Now I need to start learning acting skills. It just so happens that his friend is currently filming a costume drama, so he sent me in as an extra. Can you guess who the heroine of that drama is?" She deliberately whetted everyone's appetite.
"Who is it?" Xu Mengyao and Xiaomei asked in unison.
"Bai Feifei!" Huang Wenrong announced excitedly,
"I played her maid in the drama, and she is even more beautiful in person than on TV. I am so lucky!" she said as she reminisced.
"Wow! It's Bai Feifei. I like her so much." Huang's mother couldn't hide her excitement and held her eldest daughter's hand.
"It must have taken quite a while to film a costume drama. No wonder you haven't come back yet. Mom is worried and asked me to call Fourth Uncle."
"Yes, I originally thought I was just going to play an ordinary palace maid, but later the director asked me to play a maid. Sister Feifei said it would be natural to act with me, and suggested that I play her maid that came with her dowry, so I was delayed for a few more days. Later, my fourth uncle found out that I hadn't returned home yet, so he immediately called Director Zhang, and then I was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment and came back." Huang Wenrong explained with a playful smile.
"Hahahaha, Fourth Uncle is so awesome. I received telepathic feedback before I even called him." Xu Mengyao joked.
"My fourth uncle said that as long as I wanted to act, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there was no need to rush. He told me to go home and prepare for school, and he also gave me a watch as a reward for getting into university."
Huang Wenrong raised his wrist, revealing a very elegant black watch with a thin leather strap and a square dial. He took out another watch from his backpack and handed it to Xu Mengyao, "Here, this is yours."
Xu Mengyao took it and looked at it, wow, it was a Cartier Tank stainless steel flip watch. She was very familiar with these brands during her years as a purchasing agent. This watch was obviously a treasure among Tank watches. Its appearance was similar to that of Jaeger-LeCoultre, but it was much better looking than the popular models in later generations.
"Fourth uncle is so generous. He gave me two Cartier watches at once." Xu Mengyao exclaimed as she gently stroked the dial.
"What teeth? Is this watch very expensive?" Huang Wenrong asked in surprise.
"Not only is it expensive, it's also hard to buy. I have to call my fourth uncle to thank him." Xu Mengyao said as she prepared to dial.
"Stop fighting. Fourth uncle has gone to Gangcheng. He said he will contact you when he returns to Haicheng." Huang Wenrong hurriedly stopped him.
"Okay, put the things away. Remember your fourth uncle's kindness, and we'll return it when we have the chance. Now I'll take you shopping for clothes, because school will start in a few days." Huang's mother said gently.
"No need, Mom. I want to travel light and buy whatever I need when I get there." Xu Mengyao politely declined her mother's kindness.
"I don't need it either. Third Aunt and the others bought a lot and put them at Second Grandpa's house." Huang Wenrong also agreed with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Okay, this is not the first time you've traveled far away. You have family in Beijing and Hai City, so I can rest assured. When are you leaving? I have to pick up your grandma and the others for dinner." Mother Huang nodded slightly, with a hint of reluctance in her tone.
"Xiaomei and I will leave the day after tomorrow, and Uncle Zhang also has to go back and rest." Xu Mengyao replied.
"My train ticket for the day after tomorrow," Huang Wenrong added, his tone full of longing for the future.
"Okay, then I'll tell your dad. Juanzi, can you use your car to pick up your grandma and the others for dinner tomorrow?" asked Huang's mother.
"No need for tomorrow, I'll go to the mine to get the milk now. Sister Xiaomei, let's go." Xu Mengyao called out, and the other two immediately followed.
Huang's mother looked at their backs, shook her head, but a smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
"I'm not tired of it, I'm just going to go."
The three of them quickly arrived at the mine.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Huang Nai sitting in front of the TV, holding a watermelon in her hand, watching the recent popular TV series "I Love My Family" with great relish. The watermelon juice was already dripping down her wrist onto the ground, but Huang Nai was completely unaware, completely immersed in the plot.
"Grandma, we're here." Xu Mengyao shouted loudly.
When Huang Nai heard the voice, she was startled for a moment, then quickly turned around with a surprised smile on her face. She then stood up and slapped Xu Mengyao on the back twice, with a hint of anger in her tone:
"You little bitch, you're screaming so loudly that you're going to scare your grandma to death. What are you going to do?"
"Grandma, you are too obsessed. The sound we made when we pushed the door was so loud." Xu Mengyao said with a smile.
"What wind brought you two here? You haven't been seen for a long time, but you still remember to come back to see me. Xiaomei has more conscience than you two." Grandma Huang complained.
"Look at what you said. We're busy now. My sister just arrived in Huanshi an hour ago and came right away to pick you up for a reunion. Let's go, grandma. My car is waiting for you outside." Xu Mengyao hugged Grandma Huang's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Oh, you bought a car?"
Huang Nai's eyes lit up, and she immediately pushed away the hand hanging on her arm, and walked out the door excitedly with her little feet moving quickly.
