The two dawdled in Grandma Bai's yard for a while, and didn't go home until it was almost dinner time.
Shen Qingyi had already prepared a table of dishes, all of which Mu Xiaoya and Bai Chuan liked to eat.
"Dad, Mom, what kind of dishes do you like to eat?" Mu Xiaoya ate her favorite dishes for one day, and suddenly found a problem. She has lived with her parents for a lifetime, and she has never noticed what dishes their parents like to eat.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Shen Qingyi asked strangely.
"I just want to know, because since I was a child, you have cooked me the dishes I like to eat, and I don't even know what you like to eat."
"It's different after getting married. I finally know that I feel sorry for my parents." Shen Qingyi looked relieved.
"Mom~~" Mu Xiaoya coquettishly begged for mercy, but she felt a lot of guilt in her heart, she could do too little for her parents, even...
"Fried pork with peppers, braised pork ribs." Bai Chuan suddenly said.
Bai Chuan suddenly announced the names of the two dishes, and the three of the Mu family were instantly stunned. Mu Ruozhou asked curiously, "How do you know that I like braised pork ribs?"
"And chili fried pork, how do you know I like it?" Shen Qingyi also asked.
Mu Xiaoya stared at her parents dumbfounded: They mean that Bai Chuan is right
"I remember." Bai Chuan replied.
"Remember?" Shen Qingyi and her husband looked at each other, "Could it be that we mentioned it before in front of Bai Chuan?"
"Yeah." Bai Chuan nodded.
"...Look at you." Shen Qingyi immediately began to dislike her daughter again, "Bai Chuan has only come to our house a few times and already remembered what we like to eat. You have lived at home for more than 20 years. Well."
"Could it be the same, in terms of memory, can I be on the same level as Xiaochuan?" Mu Xiaoya expressed that she was very aggrieved.
"I'll help her to remember." Bai Chuan saw that his daughter-in-law was criticized for not remembering what dishes his father-in-law and mother-in-law liked to eat, so he quickly expressed his willingness to help his daughter-in-law remember. If he remembered it, he would definitely not forget it.
"Okay, give Xiaochuan a face, not to mention you." Shen Qingyi responded with a smile, and verbally let go of her daughter.
Because Mu Xiaoya came early today, after dinner, Shen Qingyi started banging her daughter back to her mother-in-law's house.
"It's still early." Mu Xiaoya was reluctant to leave.
"How early, it will take another hour to drive back." Shen Qingyi motioned for her husband to hand over the packed chopped peppers to her daughter.
"Here, your mother only made this last month. This batch of chili peppers is very spicy. Remind your in-laws when you eat them." At the end of this gift, I heard Mu Xiaoya's use of chili peppers, because the old couple thought about it. After a while, it seems that it is better to send something that you have made by yourself. Anyway, compared to their financial resources, they are definitely no match for the Bai family.
"They are all in the same city. If you want to come back, come back to see us anytime." Shen Qingyi said.
"I want to see you every day." Mu Xiaoya said reluctantly.
"Then why were you in such a hurry to get married in the first place? If you don't get married, you can stay at home all the time." Mu Ruozhou said angrily when he saw his daughter who suddenly became tired and crooked. People are too early.
"No!" When Bai Chuan heard that his father-in-law would not let Xiaoya marry, he immediately protected Mu Xiaoya in a hurry.
"..." When Mu Ruozhou saw Bai Chuan's posture, he was dumbfounded. This kid, you really don't understand a joke at all.
"Okay, okay, don't rob you, take Xiaoya away." Shen Qingyi said with a smile.
The two leave.
The second elder of the Mu family watched the car leave, and then accompanied him back to the house. Although they were reluctant, their faces were filled with relief and relief. Seeing Bai Chuan this time, they found that Bai Chuan was not only able to work and earn money by himself, but also loved Xiaoya very much, and even knew how to protect Xiaoya. Aren't these points exactly what they want from their future son-in-law
Therefore, Bai Chuan was far better than they imagined, and Xiaoya lived better than they imagined.
On the way back, Mu Xiaoya began to praise Bai Chuan's performance today: "You performed very well today, my parents obviously like you more."
"Is it because of the massage chair I bought with my salary card?" Bai Chuan asked.
"Uh..." Why did he say it so realistically, "There is also a part of this reason, but you can remember the dishes that my parents like to eat, which is also a bonus."
"Hmm." Bai Chuan nodded in understanding.
"By the way..." There is one thing Mu Xiaoya has always forgotten to ask, "Xiao Chuan, how much is your monthly salary?"
"500,000, and the year-end bonus." Bai Chuan replied, Bai Chuan didn't know how to calculate the year-end bonus, so he didn't reveal the specific number.
"500,000?! That's an annual salary of 6 million plus a year-end bonus... Then you have worked for more than three years?"
"Three years, six months, and seven days."
Mu Xiaoya subconsciously began to calculate the salary, but after a while, she gave up voluntarily. In short, she was certain that Bai Chuan's salary card had not been touched for three years. The first expense is estimated to be today's massage chair.
"What exactly do you do in the company? The salary is so high?" Mu Xiaoya asked.
"Programming, I'm mainly responsible for..." Bai Chuan said a series of professional terms one after another, and Mu Xiaoya was at a loss, and finally she could only say perfunctorily that she knew it.
Forget it, she doesn't want to enter the world of studying God.
However, when it comes to work, she seems to have promised Bai Zheng to let Bai Chuan go back to work.
"Xiao Chuan, then why didn't I see you going to work?" Mu Xiaoya asked pretending to be surprised.
"Accompany you."
"...But, I also need to go to work during the day, so you don't have to accompany me."
"Wait for you."
"… "
Mu Xiaoya was a little moved, but at the same time she felt a little pressure. She knows that she is a very important existence to Bai Chuan, but when a person's whole life revolves around you, the person surrounded will also feel infinite pressure. Now Mu Xiaoyayou very. If Bai Chuan sacrificed her work and life just to wait for her and accompany her, then she would feel that it was a disappointment to go out to work.
Even if she didn't have much time left, she couldn't let Bai Chuan live like this. She hoped that their relationship would be healthy and equal.
After crossing the intersection, Mu Xiaoya pulled over and stopped the car. She turned her head to look at Bai Chuan, calmly, and asked seriously, "Xiao Chuan, do you like to work?"
Bai Chuan looked at Mu Xiaoya and was about to speak, when Mu Xiaoya added, "Don't compare your work to me."
"...I like it." Bai Chuan paused for a while before nodding.
He loves his current job, which can make amazing things with simple coding. And every once in a while, a very complicated new thing will appear in his work, which needs to be solved bit by bit. He likes the decryption process very much.
"Then why don't you go back to work next week?" Mu Xiaoya asked.
"You want me to go to work?" Bai Chuan asked with confusion in his eyes. This made Mu Xiaoya feel strangely, as if as long as she answered yes, Bai Chuan's wish to accompany her and wait for her just now was denied.
"Xiaochuan, do you know what the husband should do after marriage?" Mu Xiaoya didn't answer Bai Chuan's question directly, she decided to persuade him to go with a reason acceptable to Bai Chuan.
Bai Chuan shook his head blankly, he only knew that once he got married, he could be with Mu Xiaoya forever.
"After getting married, your husband wants to earn money to support the family. If you don't work, how will you support the family, how will you support me?" Mu Xiaoya pretended to be distressed.
"I'll take care of it, I'll go to work on Monday." Bai Chuan immediately assured that what he wants to take care of, he wants to take care of the family and Xiaoya.
Bai Chuan, who was in a hurry to show that she wanted to support her, was so cute, Mu Xiaoya couldn't help kissing Bai Chuan's side face before restarting the car and leaving.
Bai Chuan covered his face, and the neon lights of the city were reflected in his eyes, which flashed colorfully, and finally merged into a faint smile.
It was past eight o'clock when the two got home, and as soon as the car was parked, Uncle Li greeted them.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, I have already hung up the puzzle for you."
"Thank you Uncle Li." Mu Xiaoya thanked.
"Second Young Madam is too polite. By the way, there is a chilled watermelon in the kitchen. Would you like to have some second Young Master and Second Young Madam?"
"No, thank you." Mu Xiaoya shook her head, then handed the chopped peppers she brought from home to Uncle Li, "This is the chopped peppers that my mother made by herself."
"My wife made it. It must taste delicious. It just so happens that tomorrow's dinner will have fish head with chopped peppers, which is just fine to use." Uncle Li said.
"..." Don't think I don't know that every day dinner is a given.
The two walked to the living room together. As soon as they entered the living room, Mu Xiaoya smelled a refreshing watermelon fragrance.
It seems that the fruit after dinner today is watermelon. No wonder Uncle Li asked them if they wanted to eat watermelon.
The Bai family was downstairs, so Mu Xiaoya naturally wanted to say hello. The two walked to the living room following the scent of the watermelon, and saw the three members of the Bai family, sitting upright on the sofa with half a watermelon in their arms.
"..." Why is this picture a little weird
Is it weird to eat watermelon? Eating watermelon is certainly not weird.
Is it weird to eat half a watermelon with a spoon
There is nothing wrong with eating watermelon, and there is nothing wrong with this unrestrained way of eating watermelon. But in a high-end villa, in a luxurious living room, in front of three well-dressed people, shouldn't it be reasonable to cut the watermelon into small pieces, and then eat it with a small fork reservedly
"Xiaochuan, Xiaoya, you are back?" Li Rong waved the white porcelain spoon in her hand to greet the two.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, where do you eat watermelon?" Mu Xiaoya took a while to recover.
"Yes, yes, we have never eaten watermelon like this before. I didn't expect that it would be so enjoyable to eat it directly with a spoon."
"Hehehe... It's quite enjoyable." Mu Xiaoya didn't know what to say, so she could only echo embarrassingly.
"It's all thanks to the inspiration you and Xiaochuan brought us." Li Rong said excitedly.
"Us?" Mu Xiaoya was stunned, I just came back from my parents' house, and I didn't do anything.
"Just the jigsaw puzzle in your room. When I saw it during the day, I liked it. I couldn't help but want to eat watermelon like you did." During the day, Uncle Li helped hang the jigsaw puzzle, and Li Rong went to see a few. Eyes, when I saw the interaction between the two in the puzzle, I liked it. So at dinner, I grabbed my husband and eldest son, who came home, and forced them to eat watermelon together like a puzzle.
Mu Xiaoya looked at the other two, one was embarrassed, the other lowered her head and said nothing, but she didn't stop eating the watermelon in her hand.
"Then...then you continue to eat, let's go up and change clothes first." Mu Xiaoya felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and planned to escape.
"Wait a minute, you can also take a picture for us. I'll make a jigsaw puzzle later, and let Xiaochuan help us do it." Li Rong said.
Also take pictures!
The father and son of the Bai family ate the melon together.
"Okay." Mu Xiaoya took out her phone.
"Come here, the two of you, sit and shoot together." Li Rong turned to greet the two men who were sullen.
The man who ate the melon silently glanced at each other, not knowing what kind of mental journey he went through, and finally sat down with the watermelon on the left and right, looking at the camera without love.
After taking the photo, Mu Xiaoya sent the photo to Li Rong on WeChat, and then held back her laughter all the way and ran back to the room on the second floor, before she dared to let the smile on her face show recklessly.
Ouch~~~ Bai Chuan must have followed her mother-in-law, that's why she's so cute, hahaha...
Downstairs, after the father and son of the Bai family took the photo, they immediately separated from left to right and sat back in their seats, intending to eat the melon in their hands as soon as possible to get out of this embarrassing situation. But what they never expected was that before their melons were eaten, the photos of eating melons had already spread all over the rich circle of Yuncheng.
Someone even secretly sent a WeChat to ask Bai Zheng: "Are your Bai family planning to do fruit business? Why is it either cherries or watermelons recently?"
Bai Zheng: "..."
Mu Xiaoya finally calmed down a bit, turned her head and saw her mother-in-law's circle of friends, and immediately laughed again.
After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, the two of them sat cross-legged at the end of the bed, looking up at the jigsaw puzzle hanging on the opposite side.
"Xiao Chuan, are you still uncomfortable?" Although the puzzle was hung up, Mu Xiaoya knew that there were still nails behind the puzzle.
"It's not uncomfortable." Bai Chuan looked at the puzzle and shook his head gently.
Mu Xiaoya suddenly felt relieved, and then she was in the mood to carefully appreciate this puzzle. After watching for a while, Mu Xiaoya had to admit that Liang Nuonuo's photography skills were still good, the composition and lighting were almost perfect, and even she, a design student, couldn't pick out any inconsistencies.
Also, Mu Xiaoya really likes the mood in the photos. That day, she and Bai Chuan were helping Liang Nuonuo pick cherries, so they dressed casually, simple long-sleeved trousers, with the cuffs and sleeves rolled up, and their hair was messy after a day's work. She and Bai Chuan sat shoulder to shoulder with sweat on their faces, holding a watermelon in their hands, their eyes were full of smiles, the sun was shining behind them, and there was a basket of freshly picked cherries in the corner. The whole picture is full of the breath of life, tranquil and beautiful.
"I like this photo." Mu Xiaoya said.
"I like it too." Bai Chuan didn't know what to say, but when he looked at this puzzle, he would have a very good feeling.
The next morning, Bai Chuan got up on time to run, and as usual, he met his elder brother at the door of his house.
Bai Chuan's running distance should be 2,900 meters today. Bai Zheng planned while running. Today, he will accompany Bai Chuan to run 1,450 meters, and then let Bai Chuan turn back on his own. The amount of exercise is not enough.
After running for a while, he arrived at the familiar traffic light intersection again. Bai Zheng knew that Bai Chuan would run back after running for a while. He was thinking about it when Bai Chuan suddenly turned around.
This is to turn back.
Bai Zheng didn't stop. He took a wrong step and continued to run forward. After running for about seven or eight meters, he was still a little worried, so he looked back and stopped.
Because, Bai Chuan actually stopped in place and didn't move.
Bai Zheng was a little puzzled, and ran back quickly. Just when he was about to ask Bai Chuan why he didn't go back the same way, he heard Bai Chuan say, "You ran away."
"..." I have run, who has run, running 2900 meters is your task, not mine, I have to run five kilometers every day, okay? But... Bai Zhengxuan could say nothing to his younger brother's determined look, what's more, this is the first time his younger brother has cared about him, although the point of concern is a bit wrong.
With a sigh, Bai Zheng took the initiative to admit the "mistake": "I calculated the distance wrong."
Seeing that Bai Zheng realized his mistake in time, Bai Chuan didn't speak any more, turned around and resumed the run he had just paused, and ran back the same way.
Bai Zheng followed behind with a complicated look, thinking about going to the treadmill in the gym for a while to make up the remaining distance.
Running to the gate, the two stopped at the same time, and the servant hurriedly handed over the towel to wipe off the sweat. Bai Zheng was wiping the sweat from his neck when suddenly he felt someone was staring at him, so he turned his head to look over.
"I'm going to work." Bai Chuan was waiting for Bai Zheng to turn his head. When he saw him turn around, he immediately finished what he wanted to say, and then strode away.
"..." If you want to go, don't go, if you don't want to go, don't go, if you are not my brother, you will be fired a hundred times.
snort!
Because Bai Chuan was going to end his vacation and return to work tomorrow, after having breakfast, Mu Xiaoya took Bai Chuan to the supermarket in the city. She plans to buy some wedding candy for Bai Chuan to share with her colleagues when she goes back to work tomorrow.
"How many people are there in your company?" Mu Xiaoya asked.
Bai Chuan was stunned for a while, then suddenly started to take out his phone.
"Why are you holding your phone?" Mu Xiaoya asked strangely, this was the first time she asked Bai Chuan a question about numbers, but Bai Chuan didn't answer her immediately.
"I haven't noticed how many people there are in the company, I'll ask Big Brother." Bai Chuan said.
"..." Asking Bai Zheng is equivalent to asking how many employees there are in Yifeng Group. How much would it cost to buy wedding candy according to this amount
"Cough... Not so much, that... How many people do you have in your department? Those who often have work contact with you."
"Fifteen." In fact, there are more than fifteen employees in the game R&D department, but only fifteen can contact Bai Chuan.
"Fifteen, that's not a lot of people." Mu Xiaoya looked at the wedding candy in front of her and decided to pick the more expensive one, "Then we will buy 20 packets of wedding candy, and you will give them to them when you go to work tomorrow."
"Why do fifteen people buy twenty packs?" Bai Chuan, who was extremely sensitive to numbers, couldn't tolerate discrepancies in the accounts.
"Five more packs, and then you can give them to whoever pleases your eyes."
"Oh."
After choosing the candy, Mu Xiaoya went to buy a small pink card, and then went home with Bai Chuan.
It's Monday in the blink of an eye.
Because she had an appointment with someone early for an interview today, Mu Xiaoya walked half an hour earlier than usual. Before leaving, she told Bai Chuan again that he must remember to bring the candy to the company and send it to his colleagues.
Mu Xiaoya walked for about ten minutes, and the car that picked up Bai Chuan came.
Because Bai Zheng and Bai Guoyu didn't go to the company this morning and were going to another place for a meeting, Bai Zheng asked his secretary to come and pick Bai Chuan to work.
"Xiaochuan." The car door opened, and Wang Jing, dressed in professional attire, walked out of the car with a smile on her face. Wang Jing is Bai Zheng's secretary. When Bai Chuan and Grandma Bai lived together, Wang Jing almost always took Bai Chuan to and from get off work.
Seeing the person coming, Bai Chuan tightened his hand holding the wedding candy bag, then pursed his lips and stood still.
"Second Young Master, Secretary Wang has come to pick you up for work." Uncle Li opened the car door for Bai Chuan. Bai Chuan used to live in a villa occasionally, so Uncle Li also met Wang Jing several times. He has a good impression of Wang Jing, because he has a problem. As long as the second young master likes him, Uncle Li will naturally have a little more goodwill. And this problem is an infectious disease of the Bai family, almost everyone has it.
"No." Bai Chuan refused.
"Don't go, why didn't you go suddenly, didn't you promise Second Young Mistress in the morning?" Uncle Li wondered.
"Xiao Chuan, we have to go to work. The people in the R&D department are waiting to welcome you when they hear that you are going back." Wang Jing also persuaded with a smile.
"Don't call me." Bai Chuan looked at Wang Jing and said bluntly, "Don't call me Xiaochuan."
Wang Jing's face changed, but she still forced a smile and asked, "Xiao Chuan, did I do something wrong? If so, tell me, and I promise to change it."
"Don't bark." Bai Chuan furrowed his eyebrows angrily. How could this person not understand, he even said that she was not allowed to bark, and she kept barking.
At this time, Bai Zheng got dressed and walked out of the room. Hearing the noise, he walked over with a sullen face and asked Wang Jing, "What's going on?"
"General manager, I don't know either, Xiaochuan he..."
"Don't yell." Bai Chuan's roar was obviously louder than before, so frightened Wang Jing quickly silenced it.
As soon as Bai Chuan's mood fluctuated, no one else dared to speak any more, and was silent for a while. After Bai Zheng felt that Bai Chuan's mood had eased a little, he asked Bai Chuan softly, "Xiao Chuan, what's the matter? Why don't you go to work?"
"I don't want her to send it, she is not allowed to call me Xiaochuan." Bai Chuan pointed at Wang Jing and said.
Wang Jing's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Bai Zheng in a panic, and hurriedly explained, "General Manager, I didn't do anything. I don't know why Xiao... Second Young Master said that."
Bai Zheng glanced at Wang Jing, didn't blame him on the spot, but waved his hand and said, "Go back to the company first."
"Yes." Although Wang Jing explained it intentionally, she didn't even know what the problem was, so she could only drive away anxiously.
When Wang Jing left, Bai Zheng asked Bai Chuan with a solemn expression, "Wang Jing, did you do something bad for you?"
Bai Zheng's eyes sank. At this time, whenever Bai Chuan nodded, his anger would burst out of his eyes. But Bai Chuan responded with a blank look on his face.
"Why didn't you suddenly let her take you to the company?" Bai Zheng thought Bai Chuan didn't understand, so he asked again.
"Because Xiaoya doesn't like it." Bai Chuan replied.
Mu Xiaoya? Bai Zheng thought about it and immediately recalled that when he was in the cemetery before, he asked Wang Jing to stay and send Bai Chuan and Mu Xiaoya back to Mu's house. It seems that what Wang Jing did that time made Mu Xiaoya unhappy. So Mu Xiaoya told Bai Chuan not to have contact with Wang Jing, so what happened today
"Is the second young lady jealous?" Uncle Li guessed.
"..." Women are trouble.
No matter what the reason is, since Bai Chuan doesn't like Wang Jing, let Wang Jing appear in front of Bai Chuan again: "Uncle Li, ask the driver at home to take Xiao Chuan to the company."
"Okay." Uncle Li immediately turned around and arranged for a driver.
"Wait back, big brother will change the driver for you." Bai Zheng said to Bai Chuan.
"thanks."
Bai Zheng's stern face instantly loosened, just for this thank you, ten drivers will do.
