Chapter 342: Love me, love my dog
Here, Shen Man and her husband first came to the alley and bought a hundred eggs from the grandfather and grandson who often sold eggs.
Perhaps the policy had relaxed a bit; the old man had raised a few more geese and asked them if they wanted goose eggs.
Goose eggs were good things, yes!
So twenty goose eggs were put into their pockets, the transaction ended, and the couple left, rushing to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy things.
Of course, now that the two were honest with each other, Shen Man's space could store items, and Jiang Ye consciously covered for his wife, which was much easier than carrying big and small bags in his hands.
"We need to buy more flour for the house, and rice, brother eats too much..."
Although they all ate at the unit canteen during work at noon, for dinner and on weekends, the family ate at home, and the old men had gatherings. Grain had to be bought once or twice a month, otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to eat at all.
"Let's buy a barrel of rapeseed oil; Grandpa likes this oil."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Buy a few more bottles of this floral water; the children can also add a drop when they take a bath, otherwise mosquitoes will bite them at night."
"This toilet paper, and this for women..."
The two walked from the beginning of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to the end, buying and buying, just like a big purchase.
If they weren't regular customers, the staff in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative wouldn't dare to move the goods.
After such a purchase, more than two hundred yuan was gone, and the tickets had also shrunk by more than half.
However, neither of them felt heartache; earning money was for spending. If one blindly saved money, life would be so boring.
After avoiding prying eyes, they put most of the heavy items into the space, only carrying some things to cover up. The two had bought almost enough, and their stomachs were a bit hungry.
"Let's go, go back to the restaurant to find Old Mo and see what dishes he made for us."
"Why do I feel Brother Mo is a bit off?"
"Shall we probe later?"
"Okay."
Here, Pan Zhi Lan had been eating plain noodles for over a month, and her mouth was tasteless.
When Old Mo said he would cook her plain noodles, she said weakly:
"Can you add a topping? Pickled vegetables, tomatoes, anything is fine; I'm tired of eating plain noodles."
"Oh."
Tired of eating?
Could it be that seeing he hadn't responded, she was also tired of him?
Otherwise, why hadn't she come once during this time?
Old Mo promised well on his lips, but his heart was sour.
While waiting for the noodles, Pan Zhi Lan helped watch the children, feeling more and more that the dragon-phoenix twins were cute.
So well-behaved, and so smart, with sweet mouths, calling her Auntie.
Suddenly, the two little ones danced with joy—
"Dad!"
"Mom!"
Pan Zhi Lan turned her head and saw a young couple, like a wall painting!
No wonder these two children were like carved jade; it turned out their parents' looks were very high!
Shen Man didn't squat down to hug the two little ones, but when she saw the woman who was dressed neatly and had a temperament like an orchid in an empty valley, she asked curiously:
"Who are you?"
"I, I am Pan Zhi Lan, a writer at the Haibin City Xinhua News Agency."
Pan Zhi Lan hesitated for a moment, but still honestly said her name and unit.
She wouldn't say she was knowledgeable, but she had normal insight.
Combining the fact that Brother Mo attached such importance and love to these two children, they should be friends with a significant relationship.
She rounded it up—was she getting to know the lover of Brother Mo's friends?
Yes, it must be like this.
There was a saying, catch the thief first catch the king—oh no, to catch a man's heart, you have to catch a man's stomach—oh no, what was it?
The friends of a future partner were her friends!
Yes, that was it!
"Hello, I am Shen Man, a military doctor, and this is my lover, Jiang Ye, a military officer."
Shen Man smelled something unusual from the other party's nervous yet sincere attitude and words.
It seemed this girl was loving the house and its crow.
"Auntie, want more."
Xiao Nuomi saw her mother's attention wasn't on her, pouted unhappily, tugged at Auntie's skirt, wanting Auntie to feed her sweet watermelon juice again.
As for Xiao Mantou, he had already landed steadily in his father's arms, hugging his father's neck and babbling something.
Of course, only he himself understood what he was saying.
Jiang Ye was just cooperating with his son; in fact, he only understood his son calling him Dad, and couldn't understand anything else, but it didn't hinder their father-son affection.
"Sit."
Shen Man realized that she was interested in Brother Mo, so her smile was as kind as could be.
Although Brother Mo always hung the words of being single for a lifetime on his lips, if he really met a suitable girl, and the two tied the knot and lived a good life together, wouldn't it be better than being alone for a lifetime?
Pan Zhi Lan, a writer at the Haibin City Xinhua News Agency—whether it was her appearance or her work unit, it was very good.
"Have you eaten? Meeting is fate, and besides, my two children like you, why don't we have a simple meal together?"
Pan Zhi Lan was flattered and hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, I already ordered a bowl of noodles, and it will be ready to eat soon."
"Noodles are here."
Just at this time, Old Mo brought out the cooked noodles, which were topped with tomato and egg.
Feeling a strange gaze staring tightly at him, it was clearly a look full of teasing from his brother!
In an instant, Old Mo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his whole body stiffened, and he called out badly in his heart: Oh no!
Now he had been caught by this guy!
Immediately after, he only felt his cheeks burning with pain, as if someone had slapped him several times, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Thank you."
Pan Zhi Lan smiled shyly, then sat down obediently and ate the noodles!
The atmosphere was strange, but fortunately, the guests in the restaurant left one after another after eating.
Otherwise, there would be more than one teasing gaze.
"Cough cough, sister-in-law, are you hungry? I'll stir-fry two small dishes for you, it will be ready soon, please wait a moment."
"No rush, Brother Mo, you go ahead and do your work, just serve two dishes."
Shen Man gave her man a look—don't watch Brother Mo's joke, why don't you help Brother Mo?
"My wife is right, we are not in a hurry, you go ahead and do your work."
Jiang Ye teased; he understood his brother best, a real silent type. If he didn't help his brother see his own heart clearly and urge him to be more proactive, he feared he wouldn't live to see his brother's wedding wine.
"What, what work, don't tease me."
Old Mo was teased and felt a shiver all over, his gaze couldn't help but peek at the woman eating noodles, and then, he was caught.
The two's gazes met, and both were more shy than the other, with big reactions!
Jiang Ye held his son and sat down, facing away from the woman eating noodles, and asked back:
"Stir-frying, aren't you a chef? If this isn't your work, what is work?"
"I can't win against you, sister-in-law, you manage him!"
Old Mo looked at his sister-in-law for help; he couldn't stay here anymore, and then he fled... ===== CHAPTER 343 =====
