MTL - Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks-Chapter 92
Although there is no shortage of food and clothing, Shi Xiang always feels that it is not easy for her mother to make money, and she will not act like a spoiled child to buy things. Suddenly a man came out and said that he would buy everything for him. Shi Xiang was overjoyed. In his young mind, he finally named "brother" and "good man", and happily hugged him and kissed him.
"Okay." Shi Xiang responded in a milky voice.
Hua Yue was made to cry and laugh by them: "It really gives me peace of mind."
"Good people have good rewards." Shopkeeper Zhao chuckled, "A girl like you should have an obedient son."
"You won the prize." Huayue blinked, thinking a dozen times in her heart, and said, "If you really think I should have a good reward, then Lee will give me one more point, and a handkerchief will earn twenty If you spend money on Sanwen Embroidery, you can also buy them more snacks."
The shopkeeper Qian smiled elegantly, shaking the fan in his hand: "Gong Guigong, the dim sum shop is in front, I invite you to eat."
Hua Yue knew what he would say, and went down the steps: "Thank you."
Shopkeeper Qian looked at her and smiled helplessly: "You can't hold on for a while longer."
"You won't lose me." Hua Yue said, "Besides, if we do business for a long time, we can't be stumped by this deal."
He is a penetrating person, the money shopkeeper nodded, stopped the first two children, and the group turned into the snack shop next to them.
No matter how smart Shi Xiang and Youjie are, they are no more than two years old. Shi Xiang took Youjie's hand and said, "Brother, let me tell you, the mung bean cake in this shop is delicious."
Youjie raised his eyes and glanced around, and whispered: "There are so many people."
He used to follow Daddy to clear the scene wherever he went.
"The food will be crowded." Shi Xiang turned out the small cloth that his mother had prepared for him, tied it in front of him obediently, and sat upright on the stool, looking eagerly Staring at the dim sum at the next table.
Hua Yue looked at her, and hurriedly turned over her sleeve pockets, but she didn't bring any other cloth.
As Wen Guzhi said, Youjie really won't ask people what they want, but it's not that he doesn't want it, it's probably Li Jingyun's strict control, he knows it's useless.
The tip of her heart tightened, she stretched out her hand to hug Youjie and asked him with a smile, "There are all kinds of snacks here, which one would you like to eat?"
You Jie thought for a while: "Pearl Jade and Autumn Frost."
The corner of her mouth twitched, Huayue shook her head: "Don't say what you eat on weekdays, it won't be here."
Treasurer Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Jinghua's official family's dim sum score?"
I forgot that the person next to me was someone who had studied in Jinghua, Huayue smiled awkwardly, answered vaguely, and asked Youjie, "Do you want to eat mung bean cake?"
"Okay." You Jie nodded, not picking.
Shi Xiang looked at his mother hugging his brother and not hugging him, his eyes were red, but he didn't cry, pretending to be nothing, rubbing his little hands.
Manager Zhao has always liked this sensible child, so he reached out and hugged him, rubbing his head: "Do you have anything to eat?"
Shi Fang blinked at him and whispered, "Horseshoe cake."
He nodded, called Xiao Er to instruct him to go down, then hugged Shi Xiang and patted him one after another.
A lively dim sum shop, many families on the second floor came out for a tooth sacrifice, Huayue and the shopkeeper Zhao sat here, each holding a child and coaxing, it was quite like that, the people next to him I even envied twice, saying that a talented woman and two lovely sons are really happy.
Manager Zhao is a person who advocates starting a business first and then starting a family. Before he became the richest man in the city, he had no plans to start a family, so no matter how anyone teased him, he would not take it to heart.
Only, two people sat down at the empty table behind Huayue.
Most of the dim sum shops are ordinary people, but these two people, although they are also wearing ordinary clothes, but their bearing is extraordinary. A cold and handsome man with eyes as dark as night, like a martial artist, but holding a jade-bone fan. One has a kind face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but for some reason there is a cold sweat on his forehead.
Especially this kind man, he started to look at him from the moment he sat down, his eyes were very strange, like some-sympathy?
Treasurer Zhao has also been doing business for so long.
The two of them waved their hands at will to let Xiao Er serve snacks and tea. They didn't speak, so they sat quietly. Knocked on the palm of his hand indiscriminately.
"Manager Zhao?" Hua Yue called him.
He returned to his senses and smiled: "I've been busy with things recently, and my soul has flown out of the body. What did you say?"
"I said that Shi has been a lot heavier recently, don't hold it all the time, your hands are tired."
"It doesn't matter." He weighed Shi Yuan, "I like this child. Last time my mother held him without letting go, I'm sure I'm not tired."
Treasurer Zhao's mother hoped that her children and grandchildren were going crazy, plus Shi Tong was lovable, her old man didn't like him too much, every time she went back to the house to visit, she couldn't come down. Huayue remembered that she had just arrived in the town to do business, and she still relied on Shi Fang to win the favor of the old man, so that the shopkeeper Zhao gave her a good way to go, and she couldn't help but smile: "It's time to greet her old man."
Hua Yue shook her head: "It should be."
It is not so easy to do business in my daughter's family, people know that the gift is repaid.
It's okay to say it, but it's not like that when it falls into the ears of others.
From this angle, Li Jingyun can only see Yin Huayue's back, not even the child in her arms, but he can imagine the expression on this person's words. She used to be liked by the Zhuang family in the General's Mansion, and naturally she would not starve to death when she went out.
It's just, it's really annoying to hear, and it's not a real family, what is "should"?
The dessert came, and the two children happily ate it. Youjie followed the rules when eating, came out of Huayue's arms, and sat back on the stool to eat by herself. He couldn't understand what the lord said, and he just focused on eating his own, and looked around casually by the way.
It's okay not to look at it, but as soon as she looked at the table behind her mother, You Jie immediately coughed.
"Eat slowly." Huayue patted him and poured him tea.
Youjie's eyes widened and met his father's indifferent eyes.
“…”
Rubbing her heart and swallowing the thing, Youjie withdrew her gaze, was silent for a moment, suddenly turned her head and asked, "When will my mother come back with me?"
Hua Yue and the shopkeeper Zhao were talking about the old lady's condition, and suddenly heard this sentence, a little stunned: "Where are you going back?"
"Go back to Daddy's side." Youjie straightened her chest, like when she was reciting ancient poems, she said in a prudent manner, "Daddy misses you very much."
With a blank look, Huayue rubbed his head with a complicated expression: "You know all this?"
"There is a painting of my mother in the tent." Youjie's eyes twitched, and the little hand turned his back subconsciously, "Dad often talks about you too."
Treasurer Zhao was surprised: "Dad? Their father is not dead..."
"My father is a general." Youjie raised his chin and said solemnly, "He is very powerful."
He was shocked, and the shopkeeper Zhao looked at him and then at Huayue.
Hua Yue smiled awkwardly: "Don't take it to heart."
Think about it too, if Huayue was the general's wife and concubine, how could she be living abroad with her children? Mostly childish jokes.
Manager Zhao smiled and waved his hand, but Youjie continued, "Mother hasn't answered me yet."
Hua Yue brought him a new snack and said softly: "Your father is not short of people, but one more person by your mother's side will be an eyesore. In order to have the best of both worlds, mother does not have to go back. "
You Jie paused, frowned, and swept behind her subconsciously.
Hua Yue felt that something was wrong, she wanted to turn around and look back, but he grabbed her hand: "Mother."
"Huh?" Hua Yue turned to look at him.
The child in front of her was a little at a loss, grabbed her and hesitated for a while without suffocating any new words.
There was a stalemate here, while Shi Xiang, who was in the arms of Shopkeeper Zhao, stared at the adjacent table with a smile.
He knows this big brother, but he doesn't know why, he doesn't seem to be as kind as he has seen before, staring at his mother, eyebrows slightly twisted, and his eyes are a little red.
"Big brother." He asked curiously, "Why are you sad?"
"Wow." Shi Fu exclaimed, "It changed all of a sudden."
He was amazed by Li Jingyun's expression, the person whose face was full of emotion just now turned into an indifferent passerby in the blink of an eye.
Unfortunately, at a young age, I can't tell clearly, and the people around me naturally don't understand what it means.
The surrounding area that was very lively just now seemed to be quiet the moment I saw this person. Hua Yue stared at him blankly, turned her eyes aside, and asked Wen Guzhi, "Why are you two here?"
To say that a coincidence is impossible, Wen Guzhi is also frank: "I'm here to find you."
Manager Zhao got up with Shi Xiang in his arms and said with a smile, "I just thought it was strange, so I knew him."
When outsiders say such things, Huayue should naturally introduce one or two to avoid embarrassment. She got up and pointed at Wen Guzhi, "These two are old friends from Jinghua."
The two words light and fluttering concluded the entanglement of these years, Li Jingyun sneered, but Youjie next to him got off the stool and shouted at him honestly: "Daddy ."
Treasurer Zhao was stunned, and the hand that was about to greet him stopped in the air.
