Chapter 315: All Moms Are the Same
Secretary Wan was standing nearby, watching in amazement.
Originally, she was still hesitant about the relationship between this girl and those people, but now it seems that it is better than they imagined.
So far, they have never heard of a second person who could make Mr. Tang buy cakes for them personally.
This trip was indeed not in vain.
Secretary Wan left in her high heels, feeling satisfied.
Tang Zikai entered the yard and waited until Dai Qing closed the door before speaking, "Why is Dong Zhen's secretary here again?"
"He said it was a gift to me to celebrate my move."
Dai Qing spread her hands helplessly and looked at Tang Zikai with a teasing look in her eyes.
"Thanks to you, I received another gift. Secretary Wan said it was a red clay pot made by a master. The tea brewed from it is sweeter and will help me maintain my health."
Tang Zikai didn't care at all about Dai Qing's teasing. Some people just have ulterior motives, but so what?
"Don't pay attention to it. It's all exaggerated stuff. Red mud is just red mud. The health-promoting and longevity-promoting claims are all fabricated. Some people deliberately added them. Otherwise, where would the value come from?"
Dai Qing did not comment on this. She said that some things do need the blessing of celebrities to highlight their artistic value. This has been the case since ancient times and it is estimated that it will not change in the future.
"How come you have time to come here, you are so busy?"
She remembered that the man had said he had only three days of vacation, half of which had already passed.
She thought that this man had gone to visit his grandfather, but unexpectedly he came to her house again early in the morning.
"I'm going to visit my grandfather, and I'm passing by your place. I'd like to give you a box of cakes and the bag of things. See if you can use them?"
Tang Zikai looked at her and explained softly.
"Hey, there are a few nice scenic spots near Xiangshan. Do you want to go and have a look? I can give you a ride on the way."
Hearing Tang Zikai's proposal, Dai Qing was stunned, and shook her head to refuse without thinking.
"Aren't you going to see Mr. Tang? I can't waste your time, so I won't go."
It is inappropriate no matter how you think about it to delay the time when grandparents and grandchildren can reminisce about the past and spend time together as a family.
Hearing Dai Qing's refusal, Tang Zikai lowered his expression, lowered his head and drank a sip of jasmine tea, but did not insist.
"Well, I'll tell Grandpa that you can buy a house and settle down here."
Dai Qing was stunned, but did not refute.
After drinking a cup of tea, Tang Zikai stood up and left. Dai Qing walked him to the gate and watched him get into the car. Just as she was about to close the door, Tang Zikai poked his head out again.
His eyes were a little wandering, and there was a hint of unnaturalness, but he quickly covered it up.
"Can I come over for dinner tonight?"
Dai Qing was stunned, looked at Tang Zikai quietly for a moment, and then chuckled.
"I told you yesterday that as long as I'm in the capital, you're always welcome to come and visit me."
It's just a meal, she can afford it.
After getting a positive answer, Tang Zikai curled the corners of his lip almost unnoticeably and drove away.
It was not until the car drove out of the alley that Dai Qing shook her head, turned around and went home. She first checked the stock in the refrigerator, thought about Tang Zikai's appetite, and went to the vegetable market with a basket.
I bought a few lamb chops first. The fried lamb chops I made last time were eaten up by a few people, so they should like them.
Afterwards, I bought a piece of beef brisket and went home to stew the beef brisket with tomatoes.
"Hey, Xiaoqing, I'm buying groceries."
Aunt Zhao was carrying a vegetable basket. When she looked at the meat in Dai Qing's basket, her face shuddered. Such a big piece of meat would cost a lot of money.
"What a coincidence! Auntie is here to buy groceries too."
Hearing the familiar voice, Dai Qing twitched her lips. Ever since she moved here, she and this Aunt Zhao have really had a connection. They run into her wherever they go.
It is said that the aunts in the alleys are a sight in the capital. They have a collective nickname: the Bound-Feet Inspection Team.
Any movement in anyone's home cannot escape the eyes of these inspection teams.
"There are many people in my family. We go to the market every day, rain or shine." Aunt Zhao laughed, "I'm retired now, and I still want to contribute to the family. But I can only help with cooking and buying groceries."
Going to the vegetable market every day has become a habit.
She knows almost everyone in the market.
"Auntie is hardworking and has reduced the burden on her children. It is a blessing for us to have parents like you." Dai Qing looked at her and praised her generously.
"Oh, your little mouth is really good at talking. It makes me feel comfortable just listening to it."
Aunt Zhao laughed, but when she thought of her sons quarreling every day because of housing issues, she couldn't laugh anymore.
Seeing that the grandson was about to get married, but there was still no house to marry, the son and daughter-in-law were worried and had several quarrels in the room.
It would be great if their house was as spacious as Xiaoqing's.
well!
Dai Qing looked at the face under her crotch and found that the complexion of her cheeks and forehead was a little dull, her philtrum was red, her children were not doing well, and there might be some quarrels in the near future.
But even if she reminded him, this kind of thing was inevitable.
Since they had bought almost all the vegetables, Dai Qing said hello to Aunt Zhao and prepared to go back.
"I don't have anything to buy either. Let's go back together. Coming to the market every day has become a habit."
Aunt Zhao carried the mop basket and followed Dai Qing back. But when she looked at the celery in the basket and then at the meat in Dai Qing's basket, she felt unhappy.
Alas, we are both people who breathe out of two nostrils, why is there such a big difference between them?
After expressing her feelings, Aunt Zhao looked up at Dai Qing's fair cheeks, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Qing, the young man who came to your house today is your boyfriend, right? He is really handsome and energetic no matter how you look at him."
Hearing Aunt Zhao's question, Dai Qing was stunned. Is Aunt Zhao talking about Tang Zikai?
Her boyfriend?
Dai Qing trembled her lips, "He is my friend, but not my boyfriend."
"Ah, what a nice guy, why can't he be my boyfriend?"
Aunt Zhao was a little bit unbelievable. It was obvious at first glance that the boy was no ordinary person. Not only was he handsome, but his body was also straight and tall, as if it had been measured with a ruler.
"Xiaoqing, if you see a good one, don't be picky. Hurry up and make a decision. If someone else snatches it away, there will be no regrets."
Dai Qing twitched her lips. All the mothers in the country are the same. They like to urge their children to get married.
Seeing Dai Qing silent, Aunt Zhao felt embarrassed. "Look at me, I can't control my mouth sometimes. I like to say something about everything. Xiaoqing, don't take it to heart."
"It's okay. I know Mom means well."
Dai Qing politely took out two bright red tomatoes from the basket and handed one to Aunt Zhao.
"The tomato seller said that his tomatoes were all sandy, sour and sweet. To make me believe him, he washed two and let me taste them on the spot. I bought two kilograms and my aunt tasted them too."
"It smells good,"
Aunt Zhao took the tomato and broke it open. The red and sandy flesh made her mouth water.
“It’s really delicious, but too expensive.”
