Chapter 1126: Less is More
"Haha, that won't do. You guys are rare guests even though you can come!"
Tang Mei was busy making tea when she turned around and asked:
"You haven't bought a return ticket this time, right?"
Bai Chengwen was invited by Chen Xiangdong to sit down beside the coffee table.
He turned his eyes to glance at the family portrait banner on the wall, then looked around.
Hearing Tang Mei's question, he quickly replied:
"No, not yet..."
Before coming here, I never thought about being able to buy a ticket back home.
Now that it was brought up out of the blue, he subconsciously thought that Tang Mei was trying to drive him away.
Just when she was feeling uneasy, she heard Tang Mei smile kindly and say:
"It's okay if you haven't bought the tickets yet! It's not easy for you guys to come here from your hometown. When Xiao Fu comes back, I'll talk to him and ask him to take some free time these days to take you to various places in northern Beijing to have fun!"
Bai Chengwen was slightly stunned, smiled innocently, touched the back of his head and said:
"That's not necessary. Brother Xiaoliu is busy at work... I won't delay him. I'll buy a ticket back early tomorrow."
Before Tang Mei could speak, Chen Xiangdong smiled and said:
"You have no say in this matter."
Bai Chengwen looked at Chen Xiangdong, not sure whether he understood the meaning of this sentence or not.
As soon as I sat down in the room and drank some hot tea, I heard noise outside.
"Why is the house so lively today? Who's here?"
Lu Miao is back.
When little Baichuan heard his mother's voice, he took a running start and leaped forward, successfully being caught in his mother's arms:
"Mother!"
Lu Miao didn't say anything, just pecked the boy's chubby face and carried the child into the house.
Several people in the room heard the noise and turned to look.
Regardless of external decoration, you can tell whether a person's life is good or not from the strands of his hair.
Lu Miao's long, smooth hair was combed smoothly and neatly, and she tied it into a low, neat ponytail at the back of her head.
A long black cashmere coat covered her from the upper shoulders to the calves, and a half-palm-wide belt was adjusted to one side and casually tied into a flower-shaped knot.
This outfit not only makes you look noble and has a strong aura, but also perfectly outlines your straight back and slender waist.
She came in from outside, and her whole demeanor was very different from the friendly demeanor she had when she returned home before.
At first glance, Bai Chengwen was a little hesitant to recognize her.
"Sister-in-law Xiaoliu..."
Bai Chengwen stood up hesitantly and shouted.
"Um?"
Lu Miao was stunned when he saw Bai Chengwen, then he quickly put the child down and walked over and said:
"Comrade Chengwen, why are you here? Where's Tianzao? Tianzao is here too?"
"without……"
Bai Chengwen grabbed the back of his head and stuttered.
The one who is close to Lu Miao is Tianzao, and Bai Chengwen and Lu Miao are not actually very familiar with each other.
Now seeing Lu Miao's strong aura, like a big shot, his tongue seemed to have been taken away by a cat, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Tang Mei laughed and helped to explain:
"Tianzao didn't come, only he came."
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Miao with a look of reproach:
"You too, didn't think of making arrangements beforehand. You made him come all the way here just for a honey thing."
Bai Chengwen hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Auntie. Brother Xiaoliu and his wife are also helping us and taking care of our small business."
Tang Mei jokingly said, "You've made such a trip for this small business. I don't know if you can even get back the money you spent on the ticket."
How much is the actual ticket price? This is a bit exaggerated.
In the unfamiliar environment, Bai Chengwen was very well-behaved and honest, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Tang Mei smiled helplessly and shook her head. Seeing that he was an honest man, she stopped teasing him and turned to Lu Miao and said:
"You sit with them for a while, I'll go clean up the guest room."
Lu Miao nodded.
To be honest, when Lu Miao heard that Bai Chengwen came here specifically to deliver honey, he was quite surprised and at the same time felt that it was very valuable.
A little honey is not worth much, but what is valuable is that just one word from her was taken seriously by Tianzao and Bai Chengwen.
Even going so far as to make this trip.
Lu Miao was filled with emotion, and after sitting down, he also said what Tang Mei had just said:
"You haven't bought a return ticket this time, right? Don't rush back. I'm not busy, so I'll take you here to have fun for a few days."
Chen Xiangdong couldn't help laughing, and Bai Chengwen, who was in a daze, said:
"See what I said?"
Bai Chengwen pursed his lips but could not utter a word, he just laughed stiffly along.
With Chen Xiangdong helping to entertain guests, Lu Miao took some time out to go out of the main hall, called Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao and asked them to go to the market to take a look.
Buy whatever good dishes you can find.
Wang Xiu nodded in response.
Afterwards, Wang Xiu went out to buy things with Xu Xiangcao, carrying a basket. She continued,
"Look, what did I say? If we had really stopped them outside, wouldn't we have made a big mess?"
"Yes! Who could have better eyesight than you?"
Xu Xiangcao rolled her eyes and choked deliberately.
He didn't take Wang Xiu's reminder at all.
After saying that, he snorted, left Wang Xiu behind, and walked quickly to the front.
"you……"
Wang Xiu was so angry that she fell backwards, but she was worried that she had more important things to do, so she could only suppress her anger and not continue to argue with her.
Exhaling, Wang Xiu turned around with the basket and went to look at the various vendors.
It was already late today, and Wang Xiu went around a lot of places and bought only a small piece of pork. As an extra piece of meat, he bought a large bluefish as well.
Fu Jingyou received the message conveyed by Lu Miao's call on his pager, and returned home early from get off work today.
Lu Miao asked him to kill a rabbit, and then asked him to entertain Bai Chengwen and Chen Xiangdong.
She then took the time to go upstairs, change into home clothes, put on an apron and cook herself.
In the kitchen, Xu Xiangcao was squatting under the faucet outside the door, killing fish.
Inside the door, Wang Xiu was responsible for cutting the pork and rabbit into small pieces with the sound of "knock knock knock".
Lu Miao was picking green onions and preparing spices such as onions, ginger, garlic, star anise and bay leaves at the table next to him.
Wang Xiu glanced towards the door, too busy to pay attention.
After seeming to hesitate for a long time, Wang Xiu turned to Lu Miao and said:
"Sister Lu, that fragrance..."
"Um?"
Before she finished speaking, Lu Miao turned to look at her:
"What's wrong?"
"Ah... no, no."
Wang Xiu laughed dryly and shook his head hurriedly.
Wang Xiu had originally made up her mind to talk about Xu Xiangcao.
But in the end, he was defeated by his honest nature.
She was very nervous and felt that it was not good to say these things behind people's backs, so she just comforted herself in her heart.
It's better to have less trouble than more, to avoid the awkwardness of a quarrel later. It wouldn't look good for her and Xu Xiangcao to be facing each other every day...
Lu Miao is busy with work every day and only pays attention to his children at home.
As for the nanny, Tang Mei didn't give much feedback, and Wang Xiu was hesitant and didn't say anything, so it was difficult for Lu Miao to notice anything was wrong.
Now that Wang Xiu has chosen to keep it to herself, Lu Miao won’t realize anything.
