Chapter 108 It’s God’s Will
Zhang Mao's work for the finals has been completed, and there is still more than half a month before the official competition.
Every day, he anxiously awaited Zhang Yang's return. He wanted him to take a look and offer some advice. But Zhang Yang was too busy. Zhang Mao calculated the time and realized he hadn't seen Zhang Yang in almost two months. Later, he heard that Zhang Yang had returned, but that was from others. Zhang Yang hadn't returned home; someone had only seen him in the compound.
Zhang Mao knew that Zhang Yang was hiding from Pei Juanjuan, so he had no choice but to go talk to Pei Juanjuan.
"Mom, Zhang Yang hasn't been home for a long time. Did you hear him say when he'll be back?"
Pei Juanjuan was folding clothes. It was rare for Zhang Mao to take the initiative to chat with her. Pei Juanjuan immediately said, "No, he's very busy and doesn't even call home."
"I heard that Zhang Yang came back and someone saw him in the compound." Zhang Mao looked at Pei Juanjuan.
Pei Juanjuan put the clothes down and said curiously, "I must have seen it wrong, otherwise why would Zhang Yang not go home?"
"That's hard to say." Zhang Mao murmured, "If you tricked him into coming back for a blind date, he wouldn't dare to come back."
"How can that be considered a lie, kid? Your brother is already so old, he can't stay single forever. If there's a suitable partner, we should definitely meet him."
"He said he has a girlfriend," Zhang Mao said. "Mom, he already has a girlfriend, and you're still arranging a blind date for him. He must be afraid to come home. Mom, please stop this. Let Zhang Yang come back soon."
"He'd better have a girlfriend." Pei Juanjuan shook her head and said, "No matter how I look at it, he's lying to me."
"That's not the case." Zhang Mao said, "Zhang Yang doesn't lie, and there's no need for him to lie to you about this matter. He hasn't said anything yet, maybe there's another reason. So, Mom, I'll call him and ask him to come back. Don't mention that matter again."
"Why are you so anxious to have him come back?" Pei Juanjuan asked.
"I have my own things to do." Zhang Mao did not explain directly.
Pei Juanjuan thought about it, nodded and agreed: "Then you can call me. As long as he comes back, I will never mention the word blind date or girlfriend."
Zhang Mao called and Zhang Yang picked up immediately. When he mentioned going home, Zhang Yang said, "On the way."
Zhang Mao put down the phone and said to Pei Juanjuan in surprise: "Zhang Yang said he is on the way."
"Ah?" Pei Juanjuan was stunned.
Zhang Liangpeng also came out of the bedroom, holding a newspaper in his hand, and immediately asked, "Is Zhang Yang really coming back?"
"Yeah." Zhang Mao said, "He told us to prepare well and make more delicious food."
Pei Juanjuan has already stood up: "I'll go buy some food."
Zhang Liangpeng also hurried in to change his clothes: "Wait for me, I'll go too."
The two went to the vegetable market together. When Pei Juanjuan returned home, she thought more and more that something was wrong. She turned to Zhang Liangpeng, who was picking vegetables, and asked, "That's not right. Usually when Zhang Yang comes home, he never asks me to prepare something delicious. What happened this time?"
Zhang Liangpeng was also puzzled. Zhang Yang never made any requests to his family, and this was the first time.
Pei Juanjuan thought about it again and again, and suddenly realized it. She immediately said to Zhang Liangpeng: "Go buy some more cooked food, pig's trotters and chicken feet, etc. Zhang Yang wants to bring his girlfriend back!"
The table was already set. Pei Juanjuan took one last look at the time and couldn't help asking, "Zhang Mao, Zhang Yang said he's on the way?"
"yes."
"Then where did he come back from? Why hasn't he arrived after such a long time?"
"It sounds like he's driving," Zhang Mao said. "Is he coming from the provincial capital?"
"That should be it." Zhang Liangpeng added, "That's almost it."
Pei Juanjuan couldn't sit still anymore and stood up directly: "I'll go outside to greet him."
After saying this, he walked out, and Zhang Liangpeng followed him out quickly.
The two waited eagerly, and five or six minutes later, Zhang Yang's car appeared at the entrance of the cotton mill's living area.
Pei Juanjuan had sharp eyes and saw it early on. She said to Zhang Liangpeng next to her, "Did you see that? There's someone sitting in the passenger seat."
"I saw it." Zhang Liangpeng squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's a girl, it's a girl."
As the car approached, Zhang Liangpeng suddenly asked, "Why does he look so familiar?"
Xin Tianyi got out of the passenger seat, and Zhang Yang also got out of the car.
The two of them first went to get the prepared gifts, and then walked towards Pei Juanjuan and Zhang Liangpeng together.
Pei Juanjuan walked past the two of them and continued to look back, but there was no one else.
Pei Juanjuan said to Zhang Liangpeng disappointedly, "It seems we overthought. It's God's will."
Zhang Liangpeng also sighed, "I thought I could meet my future daughter-in-law today. Forget it, it's God's will. I guess she just took the bus back on the way. It's rare for Zhang Yang to come back, so don't always mention things he doesn't like to hear, otherwise it will be too late next time you come back."
"I know." Pei Juanjuan lowered her voice and walked towards the two of them with a smile, "Tianyi, it's not like our two families are unfamiliar with each other, so what are you buying? You're too polite!"
