Man Bao was not willing to leave, so she found an excuse to stay, and when her brothers and sisters-in-law left, she just found a chair in the lobby and sat down.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang sat beside her, one on the left and the other on the right, looking over with piercing eyes from time to time, and when the little lady left, Man Bao wandered over to see Zhou Lixue.
The three subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid her gaze.
Man Bao was about the same age as them, a few months younger than Zhou Lixue, but he raised his chin and asked in a prestigious manner, "Tell me, whose little lady is that?"
Bai Shandao: "Just now I heard you call Sister Jing."
Man Bao: "She's older than you? She looks about the same as me, she seems to be smaller."
Zhou Lixue: "All the regular customers, women are older sisters, and men are older brothers, no matter how old or young they are."
The three of Man Bao were stunned for a moment, and then Qi Qi gave him a thumbs up, awesome!
Zhou Lixue (the third head) glanced upstairs quietly, and then whispered to Man Bao: "She is the eldest lady of Mr. Jing's family at the end of the other street."
Man Bao suddenly remembered, "I remember, it seems that Li Jun told me."
Zhou Lixue thought, sure enough, their old Zhou family has no secrets.
Of course, Zhou Lixue and the others would know that it wasn't Zhou Lijun who told them, but Zhou Liwei confessed to them after they saw it for themselves.
After all, I often come to restaurants and see a lot, so I noticed it.
Since the sister-in-law also knew, there was no psychological barrier for them to talk about it, and they whispered Zhou Liwei (the second head) behind his back.
There are many people who come to Zhouji restaurant to buy vegetables, and there are also many young and unmarried ladies. When everyone is young and admires Ai, they naturally pay more attention to good-looking people.
Zhou Lixue whispered: "Second brother liked the young lady of the Jing family before. Every time the young lady of the Jing family came to buy steamed pork, the second brother always asked her to add an extra piece of meat to each bowl."
Man Bao was stunned and asked, "How do you add it?"
The meat in their family is placed very densely, one bowl is another bowl, and it is absolutely impossible to fit another piece of meat.
Zhou Lixue paused and said, "Just put the meat on it. That's not the point. The point is that Mr. Jing found out later."
Zhou Lixue thought for a while and then said: "Not long after my sister and you went to the Western Regions, the little lady of the Jing family stopped coming to our restaurant to buy steamed meat. After a long time, the second brother put this matter aside."
The communication between the two is only about buying and selling steamed meat. If they like it, they just look at their face and temperament, and they have a good impression.
Later, Zhou Liwei and Miss Lan got engaged, and this relationship disappeared with the wind.
Zhou Lixue was still a little muttering, "At that time, the second brother knew that the eldest lady of our Mr. Lan's family liked him, so he was very unhappy, hmph, what's the matter, when the fourth brother and I have learned something, the girl who likes us will be more Many."
Man Bao asked, "How can I succeed in my studies?"
Zhou Lixue said confidently, "You have to pass the Mingjing test, right?"
Man Bao nodded, "If you can pass the Mingjing test, you have indeed achieved something in your studies, then you have to work hard, Mingjing is not easy to test."
"We know that they have been studying hard recently."
Seeing that the topic was about to go wrong, Bai Shan pulled it back and asked, "Then why is she here again?"
Zhou Lixue said: "Maybe it's because our steamed meat is delicious."
He said: "I'm not boasting, my mother's steamed meat is the only one in the whole capital."
Everyone looked at him silently, and he paused for a moment before saying: "Of course, it's not all because of this, there are also some reasons for the second brother."
He lowered his voice and said, "Don't you feel that the way she looks at Second Brother is different from before?"
Zhou Ligu (four heads) and Bai Shuping nodded together, it was different.
Zhou Lixue still wanted to talk, but when he saw the door of the shop, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Second sister-in-law!"
Everyone looked back together, and saw a little lady in a light green skirt standing at the door with a basket in her hand, probably panting a little because she was walking too fast.
It was the little lady of the Lan family that Man Bao had met several times. She had a nice name, Lan Xin.
Lan Xin looked around in the store, but she saw Zhou Man instead of the person she wanted to see. She was startled, then her face turned red, and she cast a reproachful glance at Zhou Lixue, who was screaming, and then blushed He went forward to salute Zhou Man, but after the salute, he found that the most suitable address for her was to follow Zhou Liwei, "Sister..."
Seeing her blushing, Man Bao raised his hand with a smile and said, "Don't be too polite, don't be too polite, you're here to see Liwei? He's upstairs greeting guests."
Lan Xin wanted to say no, but before she could open her mouth, Man Bao shouted upstairs: "Liwei, your future daughter-in-law is here, come down quickly—"
Lan Xin's ears were red, and she stood aside with her head down.
Zhou Liwei ran down and saw that there were only his family and Lan Xin in the lobby, and there were two tables of guests who were still sitting. He heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward to take the basket in her hand with a smile, and said, "Why?" It’s only now, your family won’t be having dinner until now, right?”
Lan Xin blushed and said, "We've already eaten. It's my father who suddenly had a friend come over. They want to drink. The stove at home is cold, and it's inconvenient to restart the fire in winter, so I thought about going out to buy."
When Zhou Liwei heard this, in addition to steaming the meat, he also went to the kitchen to ask his sixth uncle to cook two dishes for her to serve with wine. Lan Xin quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no..."
"It's okay, anyway, the fire in our stove has not been extinguished, and the dishes are all ready-made, which is very convenient."
Liu Liulang is very experienced, not only stir-fried the dishes, but also said to Zhou Liwei: "Go and serve a bowl of beans, you still have to eat beans with wine. The beans in our restaurant are fried by your aunt, so it's best to go with wine."
Zhou Liwei went there, packed the basket twice, and then carried it to send her off.
Although it was night, the capital city was very safe, but Zhou Liwei was still worried that she would go back alone, thinking that the guests in the restaurant would probably have to eat for a while, so he sent her back with a basket.
Lan Xin whispered: "I can go back by myself, sister-in-law and the others are still here."
"Well, just because my sister-in-law and the others are in the store, I can safely send you back. Let's go, it's cold at night now, there are fewer people on the street than before, and there are fewer lights. It's better for me to send you."
Zhou Liwei, Man Bao and the others said hello and sent Lan Xin out, Man Bao and the others watched them go out happily, and when they walked away, they immediately sat down around Zhou Li's school group and asked in a low voice: "And then, what then? "
Zhou Lixue also withdrew his gaze, and said in a low voice: "Then the second brother will avoid her. Every time he comes, as long as he can walk away, he will go away. If he can't, he will sell her meat for business, but not as much as before. Give her a piece of meat."
