"Hello, Auntie!" Lin Yizhen didn't know what to say to the enthusiastic Wang Shumeng, so she could only smile and say another greeting.
Wang Shumeng also noticed Lin Yizhen's discomfort, so she pulled Lin Yizhen to sit next to her, stuffed the menu into her hand, and said, "Come, come and sit down.
Let’s see what you like to drink. Let’s talk while we drink.”
Then, he said to the father and son standing nearby, "You two can take care of it yourselves! Aijun, you take care of Xiufang."
"I know, Mom!"
"Thank you, Mom!" the couple replied in unison.
Lin Yizhen took a look at the menu. The colorful items on it looked pretty nice.
But Lin Yizhen had no idea what the names written on them meant, and she couldn't tell anything from the introduction and appearance.
Finally, Lin Yizhen handed the menu back to Wang Shumeng and said, "Auntie, you order first! I've never had Western food before, so I don't know how to order."
After hearing Lin Yizhen's words, Wang Shumeng probably knew what was going on.
He took the menu and asked Lin Yizhen about her preferences, then ordered a cup of coffee, a piece of chocolate cake, and a steak for her.
Afraid that Lin Yizhen was not used to drinking coffee, he ordered another glass of orange juice for her.
Actually, it was Wang Shumeng's first time to eat Western food. She saw that others ordered coffee or something, so she followed suit and always chose the more expensive ones.
She also ordered coffee and a small cake. She didn't order steak for herself, but ordered one for Xiao Defeng.
As for my son and daughter-in-law, there is another menu and they can just order by themselves.
Except for Xiao Aijun ordering a glass of milk and a small dessert for Han Xiufang, everything else was pretty much the same. Perhaps because they had just finished their meal, no one ordered a main course.
While waiting for the food, Wang Shumeng kept talking to Lin Yizhen, for fear of neglecting her.
But they didn't say how long it would take before the food came up.
Wang Shumeng gave the first dish to Lin Yizhen, and carefully helped her cut the steak before handing it to Lin Yizhen.
The service attitude was even better than that of the waiters in other coffee shops, which made Xiao Defeng very jealous.
But he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at his wife with resentful eyes, hoping that she could pay some attention to him.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.
Because Wang Shumeng didn't even give him a glance, Xiao Aijun and his wife who were sitting next to him were very amused.
Lin Yizhen, who was being taken care of by Wang Shumeng, felt extremely embarrassed when she saw the sour expression on Commander Xiao's face, but she couldn't stop him.
I could only smile and say to Wang Shumeng: "Auntie, you eat too!"
"Okay, Xiaozhen! Try this coffee. I heard it's imported and freshly ground. I've already added sugar.
Try it and see if it's still bitter." Wang Shumeng handed the coffee with sugar to Lin Yizhen and said.
After that, Wang Shumeng handed the cut steak to Lin Yizhen and said, "And this steak, you have to eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."
After the meal, the Xiao family members at the table saw their wives (mothers, mothers-in-law) constantly persuading Lin Yizhen to eat, and they didn't see anyone else at all.
Of course, after the meal, the relationship between Lin Yizhen and Wang Shumeng, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, became much closer.
Especially her relationship with Wang Shumeng. If outsiders didn’t know, they would think they were mother and daughter!
Look at those two people holding hands and smiling as brightly as they can together.
The way they addressed each other also changed from Comrade Lin Xiao and Auntie to Xiaozhen and Auntie Meng.
Xiao Defeng watched from the side and shook his head, and the resentment in his eyes turned into helplessness.
However, thinking of Lin Yizhen's help to their family.
Seeing that my wife likes Comrade Lin Xiao so much, why not adopt Comrade Lin Xiao as my goddaughter!
Thinking of this, Xiao Defeng said to his wife, "Shu Meng, you like Xiao Zhen so much. Why don't we adopt her as our goddaughter? That way it will be easier for you to keep in touch in the future."
Xiao Defeng's words made Wang Shumeng's eyes light up.
Not to mention Wang Shumeng was happy, even Xiao Aijun and his wife were happy.
This young comrade is so capable and has won the favor of the big boss. If they really adopt her as their goddaughter (godsister), it would be an advantage for their Xiao family. I wonder if the young comrade is unwilling?
So, several people from the Xiao family turned their eyes to Lin Yizhen.
Lin Yizhen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by them. She had never really thought about having a godfather or godmother.
Although she and Aunt Meng got along well, it was a bit exaggerated to claim her as a godparent! Of course, she didn't mind, but if she did, she would definitely get the upper hand.
After all, I am just an ordinary educated youth now.
Although he was assigned an honorary instructor, it was only in name.
Although she might be asked to train a group of people, this was not yet confirmed. Since it was not confirmed, it could be canceled at any time.
Moreover, she has no connections in the capital.
For now, there is no benefit for the Xiao family to adopt a godparent.
But Xiao Defeng and his wife were still willing to adopt her as their goddaughter, probably because she saved their son!
Seeing that everyone in the Xiao family was looking at her expectantly, Lin Yizhen couldn't refuse, so she had to nod and agree shamelessly.
When the Xiao family saw that Lin Yizhen agreed, the four of them were very happy.
They quickly changed their words, calling her "daughter" or "sister." They all took things out of their pockets, ready to give gifts.
However, they just came out to eat today and didn’t bring anything with them.
In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
Finally, the Xiao family decided to give the gift in the evening. For now, they would let Wang Shumeng and Han Xiufang take her shopping in the department store.
However, this suggestion was rejected by Lin Yizhen.
Han Xiufang is still pregnant! How could she let her go to the mall with him? If something happened, she would not be able to bear the consequences.
After listening to Lin Yizhen's words, Wang Shumeng also felt that it made sense.
Although it is important to accompany my goddaughter shopping and learning things, my daughter-in-law and the baby in her belly are equally important.
After thinking about it, she asked Xiao Aijun to take Han Xiufang back to rest, and she accompanied her goddaughter to the mall.
It just so happened that she had a lot of money and tickets on her, so she didn't have to go back to get them.
After hearing this, the others also thought it was feasible, as it happened to meet the concerns of both parties.
So, despite Lin Yizhen's objections being ineffective, Wang Shumeng forcibly pulled her away.
The other three members of the Xiao family went home in the jeep that Xiao Defeng brought.
Lin Yizhen, who was pulled by Wang Shumeng, had no choice but to accompany her and stroll slowly in the mall.
This shopping mall is newly opened and there are many new and interesting things in it that Lin Yizhen has never seen before.
There were animals that could jump out of beads, frogs that could move, cars that could run, and many new kinds of silk or crystal hair ornaments, as well as all kinds of fashionable clothes.
In short, Lin Yizhen had never seen these things in the town, and she was dazzled by them.
