On the third day after Jiang Tao left, Aunt Yang returned to Song's house. Fu Juan kept an eye out and didn't mention Jiang Tao and Song Yuemin's affairs. She only said that the little nanny left because of other things, and explained some life matters to her. detail.
For example, the family's living habits, favorite meals, etc., Aunt Yang smiled indifferently, "Comrade Fu, I have been working for several years, and the family affairs are clear. You don't need to tell me."
Fu Juan was rushing to work, she thought she was right, and left without further elaboration.
Song Yuemin came out to see Aunt Yang and went back to the study. Aunt Yang was amazed to see that he could walk. Then she saw that there were many changes in the layout of the living room and kitchen. She knew that it was probably changed by the little nanny before. Some are not very strong, just like wanting to be the king after a new species has entered their territory.
When she came back on the first day, Aunt Yang was very motivated. She took money and a cloth bag and went to the market to buy vegetables. When she came back, it was just after nine o'clock when she entered the room and saw Song Yuemin talking on the phone in the living room. With a smile.
Aunt Yang didn't let her ears idle after carrying her things into the kitchen. She vaguely heard something like "work", "renting", "missing you", and wondered if she was looking for someone
Song Yuemin went back to the study after making the phone call. The postman delivered the letter at ten o'clock. Aunt Yang arrived at the door first when she heard the movement.
"Excuse me, are Mr. Song and Xiaotao at home?"
"Yuemin is here, who doesn't know Xiaotao?"
The postman said with a smile, "Then please ask Mr. Song to sign. Registered mail must be signed by himself."
Before that, Xiaotao often signed for Song Yuemin, which was also authorized by Song Yuemin.
Aunt Yang was about to go back to the house to call Song Yuemin, when she saw that he had come out on crutches.
After greeting the postman, he signed the form, took the registered letter, and handed over another envelope, which was his newly written manuscript.
"Okay, then I'll go first."
After the postman put the letter away, he straddled his bicycle and left. Aunt Yang looked at the letter in Song Yuemin's hand curiously, but didn't dare to ask directly.
She worked in the Song family for several years, and she had a lot to talk to Fu Juan, but Song Yuemin was indifferent by nature and didn't like to talk, so the two of them didn't say a few words.
I just feel that I haven't been away for a long time, everyone in this family has changed, and that "Xiao Tao", could it be the little nanny from before.
At noon, Aunt Yang cooked four dishes, both meat and vegetables. When Fu Juan came back to eat, she glanced at the dishes and said, "Aunt Yang, it's best to make soup for lunch in the future. There are also dishes that don't need to be so meaty. There is one dish for each meal." Meat dishes are enough, and the amount of dishes is smaller, so that there is no leftover for each meal, and you can eat fresh ones at night."
Aunt Yang responded somewhat awkwardly, "Hey, okay, then I'll pay attention next time."
Fu Juan helped Aunt Yang serve the meal and set the table together, and she frowned again when she saw the bowls that Aunt Yang had cleaned with a rag, but she was a little apprehensive after talking about Aunt Yang just now.
When eating at the table, Aunt Yang's dishes are heavy in oil and salt. Fu Juan's work in the health bureau has made her healthier. Before Jiang Tao's dishes are closer to health, Fu Juan is used to it. It's quite nice to suddenly eat such dishes with red oil and thick sauce Not used to it.
She smiled politely at Aunt Yang, "Aunt Yang, it's better to have lighter meals at home in the future, eating too salty can easily lead to high blood pressure."
What she said Aunt Yang responded with all her mouth, but she was quite troubled in her heart, what is blandness? How can I eat the dishes if they are not salty
For someone who has been accustomed to one way of cooking all her life, it is not easy for her to suddenly change the mode, not to mention that Aunt Yang still doesn't understand what Fu Juan's standard is, so she can only figure it out by herself without a reference.
After the meal, Fu Juan helped Aunt Yang to clean up the dining table together, and when the two arrived in the kitchen, Aunt Yang hesitated and told her about the morning's affairs, such as the delivery of letters by the post office, Song Yuemin's phone call, etc.
"But I haven't seen him for half a year. Yuemin looks really changed. Not only his legs are better, but he also made friends. I'm so happy for him."
Fu Juan knew that it was not that easy for the two of them to break up, but thinking that she couldn't see it, the two of them contacted anytime and anywhere, so naturally it was not happy.
She smiled and said to Aunt Yang, "Yeah, the changes are big, and you can take care of me when I'm not at home."
The implication was that if Song Yuemin had something to tell her, Aunt Yang understood as soon as the words came out, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Fu Juan also had considerations for letting Aunt Yang come back. First of all, it was not easy to find a reliable nanny, and the risk of trial and error was high. Jiang Tao was an example. Secondly, Aunt Yang was used to each other, and they were already familiar with each other. Fu Juan cannot be satisfied, but who in this world can satisfy people 100%
What's more, time is so tight, and the Chinese New Year is one month away, so I don't have so much time to choose slowly.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the phone in the living room rang. Aunt Yang was mopping the floor, so she picked it up when she heard it.
There was a male voice on the other end of the phone, saying that he wanted to find Song Yuemin. Aunt Yang asked the other party to wait, and was about to go to the study to call for someone, but Song Yuemin had already arrived in the living room.
He just said "Hello" and then said "I am" with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I will inform her and report on time next Monday. Thank you and goodbye."
The whole phone call lasted less than two minutes, and Aunt Yang couldn't figure out why. She just felt that the phone call was a bit strange, and she planned to talk to Fu Juan when she came back at night.
Unexpectedly, Song Yuemin did not go back to the study directly after hanging up the phone, but turned to look at her and said, "Aunt Yang, thank you for coming to take care of me, but you don't have to tell my mother about my affairs. I communicated with her myself."
Aunt Yang didn't know how to put her hands in embarrassment. The first thought in her heart was that he couldn't have heard her words at noon.
He said that in front of his own face, how dare Aunt Yang make a small report again, and smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't say anything, I definitely won't talk nonsense."
Song Yuemin nodded with a chuckle, and then went back to the study, leaving behind Aunt Yang who was so flustered that she wiped her sweat.

Jiang Tao arrived at the stop outside the municipal committee compound by car at around four o'clock in the afternoon. She thought she had arrived early, but Song Yuemin arrived earlier than she did, and was already standing on the side of the road with a cane waiting.
She quickly ran over to hold his arm, and deliberately controlled the strength so as not to hit his leg.
"Why did you come so early? How long have you been waiting? Is it cold?"
Song Yuemin shook his head with a smile, touched her woolen hat, and took out a roasted sweet potato from his pocket.
Jiang Tao's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Where is it? I don't remember selling this nearby."
Song Yuemin stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, smooth with a sense of coldness, he moved his position calmly to help her block the wind.
"Go to the market to buy, don't you like to eat this kind of slender strips, the car will be here soon, eat it quickly."
It takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the market to the market. In such a cold day, his legs and feet are not good, so he went to buy sweet potatoes for himself. Jiang Tao really wanted to hug him and kiss him, but there were people around, so he had to be careful in public places. After opening the sweet potato rind, bring it to his mouth first.
"Well, I'll give you the first bite."
There was a "threat" in his eyes that if you don't eat, I won't eat. Song Yuemin had nothing to do with her, so he lowered his head and took a small bite. Jiang Tao happily enjoyed the food.
"By the way, I received a call today, and the Cultural Affairs Bureau asked you to report next Monday."
Today is Thursday, and next Monday is three days later.
Jiang Tao nodded, "Okay, three days is just enough for me to find a house."
Song Yuemin frowned and said, "When will you look for me? I'll be with you. I'm worried about you alone."
Although there are many good people in this world, there are also many bad people, not to mention she is so beautiful, Song Yuemin is even more worried.
Jiang Tao originally wanted to say no, but after seeing his expression, she changed her words, "Okay, let's make an appointment on Saturday, and we'll just meet there."
Song Yuemin hugged her back and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
He has been staring at her face, the way she eats is especially cute, like a civet cat raised at home when she was a child, focused and happy, as if she is doing something important.
After Jiang Tao ate half of it, he handed the rest to Song Yuemin, "I can't eat any more, you help me solve it."
He didn't care to help solve it.
The bus came, and the two of them got on the bus. There was rarely any space on the bus at this point, but they were not close together. Moved to her side.
Jiang Tao leaned on his shoulder, and the two held hands and enjoyed the rare intimacy.
As the Spring Festival approached, the evening school courses came to an end. In addition to the class, there was also a test. Both Jiang Tao and Song Yuemin were outstanding students in the class.
Jiang Tao lived far away, so Song Yuemin accompanied her back by car first, and then returned by car. There was no time to eat together, so he usually bought a few steamed buns or biscuits on the side of the road.
Although it is just ordinary meat buns or scallion pancakes, I think the store has enough ingredients and the taste is still very good. Jiang Tao joked, "When I move to the city and I have free time, I can go to the street to sell food, and sell tea eggs in winter." , radish pancakes, twists and the like must have a booming business.
Now the market has gradually opened up, allowing individuals to produce and operate, and it’s not like before that you can’t buy anything without a receipt.
Although it was just a joke, Jiang Tao felt more and more feasible. When planning to rent a house, she must rent a quiet place in the middle of the noise, close to the street or commercial center.
She can't waste this golden age everywhere as long as she is willing to endure hardship and use her brain.
It was past eight o'clock when Song Yuemin got home, Fu Juan and Song Jianlong were waiting for him in the living room.
"Yuemin, didn't I tell you not to go to class recently? You see that you come back so late every day, and your father and I are not at ease."
Although Fu Juan brought her husband Song Jianlong into her words, in fact Song Jianlong was not that worried. In the past, his son had bad legs and didn't go out much. Now that he can walk, it's okay to go out alone. Such a grown-up person always knows how to avoid danger, but Nor would he demolish his wife in front of his son.
Song Yuemin responded, "There is nothing to worry about, I can't live in an ivory tower forever."
Fu Juan was choked by her son's words and couldn't do anything, so she mentioned Jiang Tao's matter again.
"I know you are still in touch, but what I want to say is that it is impossible for me to accept such a daughter-in-law. You don't care about your reputation, but your father and I have to."
Song Yuemin smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand what you mean, but I have also expressed my attitude and will never give up. If you still don't agree after the year, we will get married directly."
Fu Juan had nothing to do with her, she wanted to say something but was afraid of hurting the relationship between mother and child, Song Jianlong was not as angry as his wife, and started talking about work.
"I've read all the articles you published in the newspaper, and some of them are well written. Now the Municipal Party Committee Office wants a young man with good writing skills. If you want, I'll help you fight for him."
Song Jianlong was never willing to use his relationship to help his son find a job before, fearing that others would say that he was using his power for personal gain, but now his son does have the talent in this area, and his legs are mostly healed, which is why today's topic comes up. , please keep in mind:,.
