"I was full, but I just met a stray dog on the road, so I planned to buy fried chicken for it. Since you want it too, I'll buy it." I smiled sarcastically.
Xiang Qing's face was already flushed, she was biting her lip and her eyes were red.
Why does she like to bite her lip so much?
"Shu Wanyi!" Jin Han called me with some displeasure, because what I said was really unpleasant.
Liu Yue yelled, "Why do you call Xiaoqing a dog?!"
I burst out laughing, "Did I scold you? You are really smart."
After saying that, I turned around and left. The good mood I had just enjoyed looking for food could not be ruined by these people. The doctor said that if a mother is in a good mood during pregnancy and her hormones are stable, the child will be born with a better personality.
After eating and drinking, I headed back home to wash up and sleep.
Before going to bed, I received a message from Zhou Yanli: Do you still want to eat fried chicken? I'll take it to you.
What a kind person!
I replied: No, I'm very full, thank you!
Zhou Yanli didn't come back, so I went to bed peacefully and went to work on time the next day.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming soon, and the company has issued a holiday notice. Shu Chengmin has a strong sense of traditional culture. During the Tomb-Sweeping Day in China, everyone in the company has a three-day holiday.
My uncle also plans to go back to visit the grave this year, and I will go with him.
The day before the holiday, as soon as I got off work, I took my luggage and went to the airport with my uncle, preparing to return home overnight.
After several hours of flight, I landed safely. Before returning to China, I contacted Xiao Li. He is now working as a driver for my father. When he learned that I was returning to China, he immediately agreed to pick me up at the airport in the middle of the night.
Xiao Li was waiting for us outside the airport. When he saw my uncle and I, he smiled at me, then hurriedly came up to take my luggage, "Madam."
"Call me Miss Shu from now on." I smiled.
Xiao Li was the driver I hired after Jin Han and I got married. He always called me "Madam". Now that Jin Han and I are divorced, there is no need to call me that way anymore.
Xiao Li nodded, "Okay, Miss Shu."
Then he greeted my uncle politely, "Hello, Mr. Shu."
"Thank you for your hard work." My uncle replied gently.
"That's right." After Xiao Li put away our luggage, he drove us home.
It feels so comfortable to return to a familiar home. My parents are not asleep yet, waiting for me and my uncle.
I stepped forward and hugged my mother, "Mom, I miss you and dad so much."
My mother patted me and said, "We miss you too. Have you and your uncle had dinner? I'll go cook you some food."
"Eat, eat, stop working." I replied, "We have it on the plane."
My dad was chatting with my uncle. The family atmosphere was harmonious. After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to sleep. It was already early in the morning and I was very sleepy.
I slept until noon, and my mother didn't even ask me to get up to eat, so she got up directly to have lunch.
"Has Jin Han returned to China?" my mother asked me during the meal.
"I don't know." I shook my head. I really didn't ask.
My dad's face was serious, "Yiyi, you can't associate with him anymore. He sent Xiang Qing to study abroad, and even went with him himself. Don't be confused anymore."
"Dad, don't worry, I don't have masochism." I replied.
"Well, it's not like no one wants us, don't underestimate yourself." My dad nodded happily.
Tomorrow is Qingming Festival. My grandparents have passed away for several years. Their graves are in a cemetery in Haicheng. Every year we go to visit their graves and pay homage.
My mother was at home preparing things for tomorrow’s grave sweeping, and Deng Jing’er called, “Yiyi, have you returned to China?! Come out and play!”
"Where are we going to play?" I asked lazily while lying on the sofa.
"Come out for a meal!" Deng Jing'er said happily, "We're going to have Youyou Tiantian and I ask Lu Xicheng to treat you. He hasn't treated you to a meal properly yet."
I thought about having a meal, but I told Deng Jing'er one thing in advance, "Okay, I want to eat roasted whole lamb!"
"Okay, you can eat as many as you like. I'll ask him to find the one with the best taste!" Deng Jing'er replied.
After hanging up the phone, Deng Jing'er liked Li You and Ouyang Tian in the group chat. After learning that I returned to China, they were very excited and agreed.
In the evening, Deng Jinger sent me the address of a farmhouse, and I drove there. She, Li You, and the others were already waiting for me there, along with Lu Xicheng and Fu Jie.
After seeing me, Deng Jing'er and the others were so happy that they hugged me like a queen mother. Lu Xicheng and Fu Jie were a little embarrassed when they saw me.
After all, their relationship with me was very inappropriate in the past.
Today is the open-air roasting of a whole lamb, which is very atmospheric and grilled over pure charcoal fire. A slaughtered lamb is put on a rack, poured with cooking water, and then grilled.
Halfway through baking, Deng Jing'er looked behind me and her eyes widened, and then she showed a look of disgust, "What the hell, Xiang Qing has returned to China too?"
When I turned around, I saw Xiang Qing and Jin Han.
She competed with me for a piece of fried chicken at the night market two days ago. Could it be that she came to compete with me for roast mutton today?
I always feel that things can't be such a coincidence. Why are they there wherever I am? They are almost like ghosts who have made a contract.
"Brother Han, have you returned to China?" Lu Xicheng greeted excitedly.
Jin Han looked at me intently, and I withdrew my gaze and continued to stare at the roasted whole lamb.
Deng Jinger kept rolling her eyes, and I was afraid that she would faint.
Xiang Qing replied for Jin Han, "Yeah, let's come back together to visit the tombs and worship our ancestors. I saw you eating roasted whole lamb here in the Moments, so I couldn't help but come over to join in the fun. I don't know Sister Shu... Also there.”
Lu Xicheng glanced at me and felt guilty.
This guy must have given a certain position when posting on WeChat Moments, he really caused trouble for me.
"Jin Han, are you bankrupt? You can't even afford a roasted whole lamb, so you have to let her do it?" Deng Jing'er's temper became even hotter after she became pregnant.
Jin Han probably didn't expect to meet us at all. After he glanced at Xiang Qing, his face was gloomy and he said, "I'll pay the bill later."
"It's not your checkout problem, it's that I don't welcome you and Xiang Qing!" Deng Jing'er said loudly, glaring at Xiang Qing unceremoniously.
Xiang Qing's face immediately changed, and she looked pitifully at Jin Han, then at Lu Xicheng and Fu Jie.
She apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Sister Jing'er, I really didn't know Sister Shu was here..."
"Jing'er, I'm going to the bathroom." I stood up, patted the grass clippings on my pants, and went straight to the bathroom without even looking at Jin Han and Xiang Qing.
I felt that someone's eyes were following me, but I didn't look back.
When I came out of the bathroom and was about to wash my hands, Jin Han's figure was reflected in the mirror. He frowned slightly and looked at me, "I didn't know you were here, otherwise I wouldn't let her come over."
"Is it important?" I washed my hands and replied casually, "I don't know where your little girlfriend comes from. She has low self-esteem. She always wants to show off in front of me and increase her presence. Don't you think that the chance encounter between me and her is nothing? Coincidence, right?”
