It was a rare weekend, and Jianshu woke up early in the morning because of his already developed biological clock.
However, what happened this week made Jianshu a little lazy and he didn't want to get up.
Lying on the bed with legs crossed, he leisurely read a novel.
At ten o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it? Wait a moment." Jianshu, who was lying on a lounge chair under the osmanthus tree, shouted loudly.
He quickly got up from the recliner and walked out.
"Shushu, it's me." A familiar voice came from outside the door?
"Aunt Meng?" Jian Shu recognized who the person was as soon as he heard the name and quickly quickened his pace.
After opening the door, I saw Meng Ying holding something in her hand.
"Aunt, come in quickly. Why did you come here suddenly today? Is there something wrong?" Jian Shu asked this because Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying would usually tell her in advance when they came, so that she wouldn't be not at home when they came and make a wasted trip.
"Yes, there is something. Let's go inside and talk slowly." There were many people at the door, so Meng Ying pulled Jian Shu inside.
After entering the main hall, Meng Ying sat down on the sofa, placed the things in her hands on the coffee table, and said to Jian Shu, "Your Uncle Zhao's friend sent some local specialties a few days ago. I originally wanted you to bring them back when you visit his house in a couple of days. I happened to be here today, so I brought them to you."
Jianshu took it and looked at it curiously, without flipping through it carefully, but he saw a lot of raisins, gray dates, wolfberries and a small box of saffron at the top.
Uncle Zhao's friend is from Xinjiang? Jianshu speculated in his heart.
"Okay, aunt, please sit for a while. I'll go put the things away." Jian Shu didn't bother to be polite with Meng Ying. After all, Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying had given her so many things. If she refused them every time, it would not only be hypocritical, but they would also be sad.
There was no need to say anything about whether to return it or not. Saying so would somewhat tarnish their friendship. She would just be filial to them in the future.
"Okay, anything else doesn't matter. That box of saffron is a good thing. You can drink it regularly. It's good for us women." Meng Ying said.
The box of saffron was not sent by Zhao Mingze's friend, but was obtained by Meng Ying. It was a rare and top-grade product, and she didn't have much of it herself, so she gave half of it to Jianshu this time.
"I understand." Jian Shu agreed.
Seeing Meng Ying's serious expression, Jian Shu knew this was a good thing. But she seemed to have saffron in her space as well? Jian Shu couldn't quite remember.
You can look for it later, and you can take it out and soak it in water to drink.
After putting everything away, Jianshu came out with a cup of malted milk and a cup of brown sugar water.
He handed the brown sugar water to Meng Ying and placed the malted milk in front of himself.
Meng Ying loves sweet things and prefers pure sugar water to malted milk. In addition, the brown sugar here at Jianshu was bought by her in her previous life, so it is better.
Meng Ying looked at the brown sugar water in her hand and couldn't help but feel that her daughter was considerate, unlike Zhao Tianlei and Zhao Tianrui, the two brats who only knew how to be annoying.
After taking a sip of the sugar water from the cup, Meng Ying placed the cup on the coffee table and started chatting with Jian Shu.
"Shushu, I heard that you attended a social gathering last weekend?" Meng Ying asked first.
When discussing things, you should proceed step by step. It is easy to scare people if you come straight to the point.
But Jian Shu was still a little surprised, "Auntie, how did you know?"
She had never told them about this matter. After all, she participated just as a formality and there was no need to tell them.
Why is Aunt Meng interested in this matter? And where did she know about it?
"Yes, my colleagues at the time said it was a good opportunity and asked me to go and broaden my horizons, so I went. But I didn't plan on actually finding a partner, so I didn't tell you."
This is also Jian Shu's true thought. If she really wants to date, she will definitely tell Meng Ying and Zhao Mingze as soon as possible.
"Oh, I heard someone from the Women's Federation mention you yesterday when I was leaving get off work, so I asked around," Meng Ying said bluntly. However, she didn't tell Jian Shu the details.
She wasn't asking, she was eavesdropping.
Women's Federation? Could it be Huang Shuyun? Jianshu guessed.
She seemed to be from the Women's Federation, Jianshu recalled the introduction that Section Chief Li had given her.
But Aunt Meng knew it from her. Did she know the whole thing, including Lu Jianan? This is what she came here for today.
"Aunt Meng, did you hear what Minister Huang Shuyun said? Do you also know Lu Jianan?" Jian Shu looked at Meng Ying and asked directly.
However, even though this is asked, Jianshu has actually been basically confirmed.
Looking at Meng Ying's expression, but not knowing her true thoughts, Jian Shu felt a little uneasy.
Although she had no problem in this matter, she couldn't feel justified in facing Meng Ying.
Seeing Jian Shu's guilty expression, Meng Ying patted her head helplessly and said, "Why didn't you tell us about this? If we knew, would she dare to come after you again? She's just taking advantage of you because you're alone."
These words sounded like a blame, but everyone could hear the pain in the tone.
Jianshu couldn't help but feel a soreness in his eyes and a blocked nose, and the grievances in his heart suddenly burst out.
Although she acted as if she didn't care in front of Section Chief Li and her colleagues in the Finance Department, she was actually not without annoyance and aggrieved feelings.
If it were in modern times, if he dared to come to her a second time after being rejected once, she would have scolded him long ago.
But this cannot be done in this era. After all, Huang Shuyun's reasons are very good, and she would be in the wrong if she scolded him. Nowadays, the files on everyone's background are still very important, and she doesn't want to leave any stains.
