Zhou Zhengan replied quickly, as if he was working: "The chef in the courtyard is cooking this afternoon. Come over. Let's eat here."
Jiang Nan was a little embarrassed. If he was eating in the hospital, would all his colleagues be there?
But she shouldn't be too pretentious. Zhou Zheng'an seemed to be really busy, so she'd better not cause trouble for him.
After Jiang Nan got off work, he took a taxi with his things and went to the institute.
A prim and gentle young man was waiting for her at the door. When she got out of the taxi, he walked up to her and offered to help her carry her things.
Jiang Nan recognized him at a glance, the young man who went to Santa Foria with Zhou Zhengan.
The young man obviously still remembered her and smiled at her: "Sister-in-law."
Jiang Nan felt very shy when he heard this title. He just nodded but did not answer him.
The young man didn't notice at all. As the two of them walked inside, he explained: "Brother Zheng'an and the others are still busy inside and won't be able to leave for a while. He asked me to take you to the restaurant to sit for a while. It's warm and okay." Warm yourself up.”
Jiang Nan was a little surprised: "There is a restaurant here?"
The man smiled: "Originally, there was no such thing, but we have a security guard here who is very good at cooking. He usually stays up late and works overtime with us. He feels sorry for us and often cooks meat for us in the old house in the backyard. Later, the leaders of the courtyard found out. He also had a meal here, and he thought it was OK, so he just turned it into our private dining room."
"There's a kitchen inside, and I guarantee that the food Uncle Wang cooks will be no worse than what's cooked in big restaurants outside."
Jiang Nan nodded in understanding.
"Hey, I don't know your name yet?" Jiang Nan asked him curiously.
"Oh, me, my name is Luo Fu, you can just call me Ronaldinho." Ronaldinho pushed up the glasses frame on his face.
Jiang Nan still nodded: "Did you just come here not long ago?"
"I was assigned to this job half a year ago, but my qualifications are not enough. I am not as powerful as Zheng An and the others. I still need a few more years of study and training."
The two of them chatted without saying a word, and unknowingly they arrived at the old house Luo Fu was talking about.
Jiang Nan looked around and found that it was indeed older than other buildings and the location was a bit remote, but it was not bad.
Everything is complete, and there is a generous tree at the door.
While she was looking around, Luo Fu had already walked into the bungalow to call for someone. He shouted "Uncle Wang" inside, and Jiang Nan followed him into the house.
The heater is on in the room, which makes it much warmer.
There was smoke everywhere, so it was probably the kitchen.
After a few seconds, the sound of cooking stopped, and someone came out. The person who came was a man in his fifties or sixties with a fat belly. He was very amiable. He answered Luo Fu's call: "Here it is."
Luo Fu was out of breath, pointed at Jiang Nanchao and said to Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, this is Brother Zheng'an's daughter-in-law. She will have lunch with us today. Brother Zheng'an asked you to make her something to eat first. Take a look. ."
Uncle Wang finally looked at Jiang Nan. Before he could speak, Jiang Nan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I will eat it with everyone. You don't have to cook it for me alone."
Uncle Wang shook his head: "Don't wait for them. Those young men eat irregularly. When they are busy, they can't eat at eight or nine o'clock. What are you waiting for them?"
Uncle Wang walked into the kitchen and said as he walked, "Is that what you are carrying in your hand?"
Jiang Nan understood that he was referring to the things in his hands and replied: "Yes, two dishes."
Uncle Wang stuck his head out of the kitchen window and looked at her: "Okay, I'll cook another dish for you, which should be enough. You and Xiao Luo can eat together."
With his insistence like this, Jiang Nan could no longer refuse.
Jiang Nan put the things in his hands on the table, stood at the door and looked around, but did not see Zhou Zhengan or anyone else.
It seems that they are still busy. I don't know how long they will be busy.
Luo Fu moved two small chairs for her to sit on, and then sat down himself, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, cracked them, and said naturally: "The big stars are here today, and I wonder if they will eat with us. "
"What big star?" Jiang Nan did not sit on the chair, but still stood.
"That's it..." Before Luo Fu could finish his words, his eyes had already noticed the two people walking outside the door. He became a little excited and pointed towards them: "Come on, come on."
Jiang Nan followed his gaze and saw two people walking towards them.
Li Yanzhi and Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan seemed to be acting as a tour guide, introducing Li Yanzhi all the way.
The two of them also noticed the movement here, and Jiang Nan saw Li Yanzhi's flash of doubt when he saw her.
She was also confused, why did Li Yanzhi appear here?
"Hey, you're here." Zhao Yuan greeted Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan nodded: "Mr. Zhao, are you finished with your work? Are they all coming over for dinner?"
"No way, it's just that I lost my job today, so I can just be lazy." Zhao Yuan said mysteriously to her.
Jiang Nan glanced at Li Yanzhi but had no reaction.
Seeing that Jiang Nan looked unfamiliar with Li Yanzhi, Zhao Yuan took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Li Yanzhi, the spokesperson for our astronomy. I just shot a promotional video here in the afternoon. I happen to be fine now. That's my job. Responsible for taking her around."
Li Yanzhi tilted his head slightly, as if it was the first time he met Jiang Nan today.
"This is Jiang Nan, Zheng'an's wife." He put his hand in his pocket and said to Li Yanzhi: "Zhou Zheng'an, you know her."
Li Yan's face froze instantly and he couldn't laugh.
She looked at Jiang Nan with surprise, a kind of malicious surprise.
Jiang Nan understood at this moment that she had no auditory hallucinations that day and that the person Li Yanzhi was calling was indeed Zhou Zhengan.
Li Yanzhi's current expression was telling her that she liked Zhou Zheng'an.
"Hello, Miss Li." Jiang Nan's expression remained as usual.
Li Yanzhi tugged his lips: "Hello."
"I didn't expect Zheng'an to get married at such a young age." Li Yanzhi smiled reluctantly.
Zhao Yuan failed to understand her thoughts and kept saying: "It's still early. You are already in your thirties. It is normal to have children."
Li Yanzhi let out a soft "ha": "It is normal for a man, especially a successful man, to get married again at the age of forty. The key is whether the woman behind him can afford it."
Li Yanzhi looked at Jiang Nan, with a smile still on his face, but he looked a little cold.
Jiang Nan curled her lips slightly and replied: "Of course, an outstanding woman like Miss Li will definitely find a suitable partner for you in the future."
Li Yanzhi turned his eyes and saw the thermos box on the table, and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang is really a good wife and mother. She specially sent something here, so let us try Miss Jiang's craftsmanship today, otherwise how can we do it?" I know how Zheng An was so fascinated."
There was some irony in the words, but no one present except Jiang Nan could hear it. Li Yanzhi's smile made it impossible to see any flaws.
Jiang Nan couldn't help but frowned and said nothing.
"Is the big star planning to stay for dinner? That's good. I've been hungry for a long time." Zhao Yuan said.
Luo Fu, this little fanboy, has long been laughing from ear to ear.
While they were chatting, someone else walked into the room.
It was Zhou Zhengan and his colleagues.
"Look, everyone is here." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Why aren't you sitting down?" one of the colleagues said in confusion, then sat down at the dining table and shouted to the kitchen: "Uncle Wang, we are all here, you can serve the food."
"Hey, okay." Uncle Wang replied with a loud voice.
Zhou Zhengan sat down next to that person, turned around and saw Jiang Nan still standing dumbly, and couldn't help but said: "You still don't sit down?"
Jiang Nan walked over and sat down next to him.
Li Yanzhi stood for a while staring at Jiang Nan and Zhou Zheng'an. Seeing that she was not moving, Luo Fu called her and asked her to sit down too.
Zhao Yuan opened everything Jiang Nan brought and put it on plates and put it on the table.
The aroma of food came out with white smoke.
"Xiao Jiang's craftsmanship is pretty good, and it smells so good."
"I didn't do it." Jiang Nan was a little embarrassed.
At this time, Uncle Wang brought the hot dishes to the table and sat down on the empty chair: "Let's eat."
"Whoever wants to prepare food should go to the kitchen to do so." Uncle Wang said while holding up his chopsticks.
His movement interrupted the topic just now, everyone moved their chopsticks, and no one paid attention to what just happened.
I'm already hungry after waiting so long to eat.
There was a lot of excitement in front of the table. Jiang Nan was really surprised. He didn't expect that such a place full of literary atmosphere would have such lively fireworks.
Li Yanzhi took a few bites of the rice in her bowl before she touched it again, but she was not in a hurry to leave. She could reply to anyone who spoke at the dinner table, and she seemed very friendly.
Everyone still had work to do, but within forty minutes most of them put down their chopsticks and went back to work sporadically.
Uncle Wang, Li Yanzhi and Zhao Yuan were the only ones left at the dinner table.
Zhou Zhengan wasn't in a hurry to leave yet. He sat in his original position and drank the tea from the cup.
Jiang Nan knew that he was waiting for her, so she couldn't help but speed up and stuff her mouth full. After finishing the food in the bowl, she said to Zhou Zheng'an, "I'm done eating."
Zhou Zhengan glanced at her bulging cheeks. He didn't know whether he was disgusted or wanted to laugh. The corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably: "Let's go then?"
They greeted the few people still sitting at the dinner table and walked outside together.
It was windy at night, and Jiang Nan shrank back from the cold, hiding his hands in his pockets.
They walked slowly outside, as if taking a leisurely walk after dinner.
Light snow started to fall in the sky again, falling on their black hair and shoulders.
It’s the New Year, Jiang Nan thought to herself.
"Zhou Zheng'an, when are you free during this time? My mother wants you to go back for dinner together." Jiang Nan suddenly remembered this matter.
If she doesn't let Zhou Zhengan go to her mother's house for dinner, her mother will probably be angry again.
It would have been better if this matter had been done years ago.
"It's the weekend." Zhou Zhengan thought for a while and replied.
Jiang Nan nodded thoughtfully.
"Am I still your unmarried boyfriend?" Zhou Zhengan asked in a teasing tone.
