Zhou Mo lowered his head timidly, his face slightly red.
Liang Xinyun noticed Zhou Mo's shyness and stopped teasing her, "I was just kidding. I know the customs and rules of Dongjiang. There's no wedding, no ceremony, and no change of heart."
She let out a long sigh, "When can you two finalize the wedding?"
Liang Xinyun couldn't wait for Zhou Mo to change his words.
But she did not forget what she had promised Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru, that everything would be done according to Dongjiang's rules.
"Wait a little longer," Zhou Mo evaded the question, "Han Chen has been too busy lately."
"You don't have to use him as an excuse," Liang Xinyun said, "The Han family hasn't settled things yet, so the wedding can only be postponed again and again."
Zhou Mo did not deny it.
Instead of having a wedding and letting everyone know about it, and letting the Han family know about it and cause trouble for herself, it would be better not to have a wedding. She and Han Chen could just live quietly like this, which would make people feel more at ease.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw that it was lunch time, so they ate lunch together.
The pharmacy informed them that the medicine had been prepared and asked them to go and get it.
The two returned to the pharmacy together.
The freshly packed Chinese medicine is still warm.
Liang Xinyun meant that Zhou Mo should start taking the medicine from today.
Zhou Mojin followed the doctor's advice and took a bag of medicine under Liang Xinyun's supervision. It was so bitter that she wanted to vomit.
"Three times a day, take it on time, don't forget," Liang Xinyun reminded patiently.
"Yeah," Zhou Mo nodded, "Auntie, I have to go to my dad's workplace this afternoon, I'll take you home..."
"No need, I'll take a taxi back myself, you can go and do your own thing."
Zhou Mo checked the time and said, "Then I'll call a car for you."
"Hey," Liang Xinyun said with a smile.
Zhou Mo helped to stop a car, sent Liang Xinyu into the car, and then returned to the information investigation center.
The information investigation center is not very busy today.
When Zhou Mo arrived, Wu Xiaohui, who was supposed to be on duty, was not there, but Xiao Sun was.
"Where is Sister Wu?" Zhou Mo asked.
"Let's go back to the Health Bureau," Xiao Sun said. "You volunteers will be here soon. The Information Dispatching Center's mission is almost complete, so we need to evacuate."
"These days?" Zhou Mo asked.
"About the same," Xiao Sun said, "I'll wait for Director Qi's instructions for details."
Zhou Mo felt a little secretly happy in his heart, because this meant that Han Chen would be back soon.
It's almost time to get off work in the afternoon.
Qi Tan is back.
It is said that he was carrying instructions from his superiors.
At that time, Zhou Mo invited everyone to dinner to apologize for not being there in the morning.
It just so happens that there are more people here today.
Seeing Qi Tan coming back, Xiao Sun immediately stood up and greeted Qi Tan.
"Director Qi, you're back. Sister Momo is treating us to dinner today. Would you like to eat together?" Xiao Sun said as he helped take out the portion specially ordered for Qi Tan.
Qi Tan stepped forward to take a look and asked, "What are you eating?"
"Barbecue rice," Xiao Sun said, "This restaurant Sister Momo recommended is really delicious."
"It tastes good? I guess it's because it's cheap?"
“…”
Zhou Mo, who was sitting at his workstation eating, looked up when he heard the voice and rolled his eyes at him. "Eat it or not."
"I'll eat it later," Qi Tan said. "I'm not like that person who's a germaphobe and a picky eater."
Zhou Mo was furious, and his hand holding the chopsticks tightened unconsciously.
There were many people present, so she couldn't get angry. She could only treat someone as a punching bag in her mind, imagining left hooks, right hooks, shoulder throws and other martial arts moves that could kill people without any compensation.
"I have something to inform you all, and it's good news," Qi Tan said seriously. "Starting tomorrow, the Information Dispute Resolution Center will be closed, which means you all don't have to come anymore. I was planning to treat everyone to dinner today, but since someone got there first, I won't hesitate. Thank you, Zhou Mo, for your hospitality today. I'll order milk tea for everyone later."
When everyone heard that it would end tomorrow, they became excited. Not only did they have free dinner today, but they also had milk tea to drink, which made them extremely excited.
Everyone shouted in unison: "Thank you, Director Qi."
Qi Tan pressed his hand, signaling everyone to eat.
"Xiao Sun," he beckoned to her, "you collect statistics in the group chat about what flavors of milk tea everyone likes. You decide, then tell me the bill and I'll reimburse you."
"Okay," Xiao Sun replied with a smile, "Which one do you want to choose?"
"It's up to you."
"no problem."
Qi Yan, who had been concentrating on eating, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Brother, I want to drink Shuyi."
Qi Tan glanced at him and said to Xiao Sun, "Okay, order it for him."
"Okay," Xiao Sun agreed with a smile, handing him the meal that was left for Qi Tan. "Director Qi, let's eat."
"Yeah," Qi Tan took the meal from Xiao Sun and looked around, looking for an empty seat.
Xiao Sun was just about to say that he could do it on his own.
Qi Tan moved and sat down in an empty seat.
It happened to be the workstation next to Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, ignored him, and continued to eat.
Xiao Sun at the opposite table suddenly asked: "Sister Momo, what flavor do you want? Do you have..."
"I don't drink," Zhou Mo said, "You order it for them."
Before Xiao Sun could ask why, Qi Tan spoke first: "Why, do you dislike the fact that I invited you?"
Zhou Mo was completely speechless, "You think too much."
"What else?" Qi Tan asked, "Or... are you so picky about food that you won't even drink milk tea?"
Zhou Mo had a headache and explained, "I'm taking Chinese medicine. The doctor told me not to drink milk tea or anything like that."
"Take medicine? What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Qi Tan asked.
"You're overthinking it," Zhou Mo said, "I'm preparing for pregnancy and conditioning my body."
Qi Tan: “…”
