"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Yu Changxi responded first, secretly happy in his heart. Does this mean that his brother-in-law doesn't hate him?
Looking at Yu Changxi's happy smiling face, Yu Changle couldn't help but laugh: "Sorry to trouble you, the money and tickets are in the desk drawer."
Meng Jiu'an looked at the similar smiling faces of his siblings and suddenly wanted to laugh like them. He quickly turned around and said, "I have it."
After walking out of the house, the smile on his face bloomed. Not to mention, the title of brother-in-law sounded quite pleasant to his ears.
Yu Changle filled a basin of hot water and asked Yu Changxi to wash up first. He didn't know how he got here all the way, and his whole body looked gray and dusty.
Yu Changxi washed his face and hands with hot water, and looked at her with bright eyes that looked like Yu Changle:
"Sister, I will take care of you from now on."
His sudden words caught Yu Changle off guard, and he had no time to prepare, his nose sore, and he slapped him:
"What are you talking about? I still need you to take care of me?!"
Yu Changxi nodded solemnly: "Sister, I'm serious. I was admitted to Yuzhou Normal University. My tuition is free for three years. After graduation, the state will provide me with a job. I can also tutor students in my spare time. I can make money. I can Taking care of you!"
Yu Changle was very moved when he heard these words. The original owner's brother's pain was not in vain.
She smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes: "Okay, sister knows that you have made a fortune, so you can take care of me, but you are still a student now, and you have to focus on studying. Don't think about making money. Sister can make money!"
Yu Changxi didn't quite believe that she could make money. He glanced at the door cautiously and then said:
"Sister, you sent me money and food stamps before. Brother-in-law, he... doesn't have any objection, right?"
I know my sister's situation very well. She has only studied until the fourth grade of elementary school and is unwilling to do farm work. She is not considered a capable person in the village. What can she do in the city?
My sister said that the money she can make is probably due to the living expenses that her brother-in-law gives her.
Yu Changle looked at his cautious appearance, feeling a little sad in her heart. She knew how the two siblings had lived a life of judging people's faces since they were young, so she smiled:
"If he has any opinions, didn't I tell you in the letter? Your brother-in-law will listen to me on everything!"
Yu Changxi looked at her proud look, and the worries accumulated in his heart eased a little. At least today, when he came, his brother-in-law didn't show any emotion and even went to buy groceries for him.
Thinking of this, Yu Changxi became happy again: "That's good, sister, I will be happy when I see you and your brother-in-law living well!"
Before he came, he thought about countless possibilities in his mind, fearing that Meng Jiu'an would treat his sister badly, and he was even more afraid that he might have his own reasons for it.
Yu Changle looked at this sensible child with relief. For the first time, he felt that the original owner was not so deceptive to her and at least left her a good brother!
——
At meal time, a military vehicle parked at the entrance of the Haokelai Hotel.
The boss thought that the guests were ready, so he opened the door curtain and was about to welcome the guests, when the military vehicle suddenly started to drive away again.
The boss was puzzled.
Finally, the military vehicle stopped at the entrance of the state-owned hotel, and Meng Jiuan got out of the vehicle.
On the way just now, he remembered that Yu Changle had said that she liked to eat the three-piece set from Haokelai, so he drove the car outside the Haokelai restaurant without knowing it.
But before getting off the bus, he suddenly realized why he had to buy something Yu Changle liked to eat. It was simply inexplicable.
So he started the car again and drove to the state-owned hotel. The food here was in line with public demand, delicious and cost-effective.
As soon as he stepped into the hotel, he immediately saw an acquaintance - Bai Chuan!
When Bai Chuan saw Meng Jiu'an, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey! It's over here!"
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Meng Jiu'an driving back, so he simply walked to the state-owned hotel and planned to have dinner first. Who knew that he met Meng Jiu'an by chance.
"You said you didn't want to return the car to me when you came back, and you still had time to eat?!" Baichuan said angrily, "Why don't you think I'm still hungry waiting for you!"
Meng Jiuan focused on the names of the dishes on the blackboard and replied casually: "When have you ever been hungry?"
"Hey!" Bai Chuan pointed at the blackboard and said, "No, you must treat me to braised pork today!"
Meng Jiu'an didn't answer. He went straight to the ordering booth, took out his money and food stamps and asked the waiter to issue the tickets:
"Hello comrade, I want one braised pork, one roasted chicken with potatoes, one pig's ears, one large bone soup, and five white flour steamed buns."
"Hey, that's enough, that's enough, I can't eat that much!"
Bai Chuan was shocked. He didn't expect that Lao Meng, who usually searched for things, was so generous today. Did he take the wrong medicine, or did he feel refreshed during happy events?
Meng Jiu'an rolled his eyes at him and handed over the lunch box pocket at hand:
"Comrade, please put all the vegetables in the lunch box and put the steamed buns in a bag."
This operation made Bai Chuan stunned for a moment: "What, you don't want to eat here?"
Meng Jiu'an smiled, like an iceberg melting. His originally deep and calm eyes were now shining brightly with a smile. Such a smile stunned the waiter who was ordering at the window.
"Well, we won't eat here."
Baichuan became more and more confused: "Then where to eat? I bought food from the restaurant and went back to the army to eat. It would be bad if I was seen."
Meng Jiu'an nodded: "It's not good, so I'll go home to eat. As for where you go, you decide for yourself."
Meng Jiu'an took the lunch box and bag handed over by the waiter, turned around and walked out the door.
Bai Chuan flew over and grabbed his shoulder, forcing him to follow him out: "What do you mean? You're kidding me!"
The two of them walked out of the restaurant, the waiter at the ordering window looking eagerly out of the door. The waiter who served the food laughed at her:
"There's no one around. Are you still looking?"
The little girl suddenly blushed with embarrassment and almost buried her head under the window.
How many little girls don’t admire or like such a polite, generous and heroic soldier?
In the end, Bai Chuan took Meng Jiu'an back to the family compound with him, citing the convenience of driving.
On the way, he learned that Yu Changle's younger brother was here and had been admitted to Yuzhou Normal University. He slapped Meng Jiu'an on the arm:
"Okay, Lao Meng, you know how to earn money! If you tell me earlier, I will add two more dishes for this happy event!"
Meng Jiu'an frowned: "How can I earn money? When a guest comes, isn't it normal for me to buy a few dishes and treat them to dinner?"
Bai Chuan curled his lips and shook his head: "You, just be tough. I don't know who you are. When did I see you treat me to dinner?"
Meng Jiu'an was in a good mood today. Even if Bai Chuan provoked him, he didn't get angry. He didn't talk much and just ignored him.
But Bai Chuan couldn't help it. Could it be that he was the only one who noticed that Meng Jiuan's behavior was really abnormal!
