Chapter 177 Treat
"Siyuan, what are you doing here?"
Looking at his good friend in front of him, Shen Yanzhi rarely showed joy and excitement.
Xu Siyuan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "I came here on official business and was thinking of taking some time to visit you in Menghai after I finished my work. I didn't expect you to come to the city right away. What a coincidence!"
"Brother Yanzhi."
Shen Yanzhi looked at the young girl next to Xu Siyuan, his voice noticeably gentler: "Shushu, you're here too."
Xu Shu nodded shyly, her voice soft and gentle, "Yes, I came with my older brother."
Xu Siyuan explained, "Shushu's school is closed, and she's been bored at home lately, so it's a good opportunity to take her out for a walk and let her see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland."
Jiang Moli tilted her head and whispered in Lu Tingting's ear, "Hey, look at her, you should learn from her."
Lu Tingting asked, puzzled, "What should I study?"
"Learn from her how gentle and tender she is; men all like that."
“My third uncle doesn’t like this kind of thing, otherwise what role would you play?”
Jiang Moli: ...
Unable to refute.
Xu Siyuan noticed Jiang Moli; it was rare to see such a beautiful woman with fair skin in Xili City.
"So, are they your friends?"
Shen Yanzhi quickly gave a brief introduction to both parties.
Upon learning that Jiang Moli was married and that her husband was a battalion commander in the army, Xu Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had noticed Jiang Moli long ago, but she was too embarrassed to ask Shen Yanzhi.
"In other words, we should get together and have lunch together."
Xu Siyuan also invited Jiang Moli and the other two, saying, "Comrade Jiang, thank you for taking care of Yan Zhi. Let's have a simple lunch together."
Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Sure, you don't mind if I invite two more people, right?"
Xu Siyuan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem."
Xu Siyuan had to meet with visitors, and Jiang Moli and the others also had to go to the post office.
The two parties agreed to meet at 12 noon at the Peacock Hotel, which is opposite the guesthouse.
The post office only had two telephones, and there was a queue in front of each one.
Fortunately, phone calls are expensive, so people usually only make calls when there's something important or urgent, and then hang up quickly after finishing their business.
Jiang Moli was quickly placed in line.
Jiang Moli first called the machinery factory, and while she was waiting for someone at the factory to call Jiang Dahai, she called back to the Lu family.
Ma Hongmei answered the phone and, recognizing Jiang Moli, beamed with joy.
"Xiao Jiang, are you doing alright over there?"
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Auntie. Let my mom take the call."
Ma Hongmei hurriedly called An Hui, who was picking vegetables in the yard, back home.
An Hui hurriedly answered the phone: "Jasmine, is there something you need?"
I miss you. I'm wondering how you're doing at home.
An Hui smiled, but said reproachfully, "As long as you behave yourself and don't cause trouble, I'll be fine."
"What are you saying? Did your sister-in-law come over for dinner last time? Did she make you angry?"
Speaking of her eldest daughter-in-law, An Hui's tone softened considerably. "They've come. Hao Yu and Nana really enjoyed your aunt's shrimp dishes, and they came over for another meal the next day."
"That's good. I'll just let you and Dad know that I'll be going back after the Mid-Autumn Festival..."
Before he could finish speaking, an impatient voice came from behind him: "Can you hurry up? There are so many people waiting behind us!"
"Mom, wait a minute."
Jiang Moli covered the microphone and turned around, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you rushing to be reincarnated?"
"Hey, how dare you talk like that!?"
"I speak with my mouth, do you not speak with your mouth? You don't speak with your butt, do you? No wonder you smell so bad."
The man was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
She had never seen a mouth more annoying than Jiang Moli's!
"Disdain value +1, 10000 yuan credited."
Upon hearing the "dislike points" being credited, Jiang Moli turned back to continue her phone call with An Hui. Although she covered the receiver with her hand, some sounds inevitably leaked out.
An Hui asked, "Jasmine, where are you?"
"In Xili City, the Education Bureau invited us to perform a legal publicity show."
An Hui was quite surprised, "Performance? You can perform?"
"You underestimate me, don't you? Not only me, but also your precious granddaughter Tingting is here with us. She's right next to us."
An Hui wanted to ask more details about what program it was, but then she realized it wasn't convenient to talk to Jiang Moli for too long, so she just gave her a few words of concern and then hung up the phone.
Jiang Moli returned to the machinery factory.
Seeing that she was still making calls, those waiting in line behind her became dissatisfied.
However, no one dared to urge them, after all, they had just witnessed Jiang Moli's arrogant and domineering nature and dared not provoke her.
It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.
The call was quickly answered, and Jiang Dahai's cheerful voice came through: "Hello, is this Jasmine?"
"Hehe, Dad, you missed me, didn't you?"
"Stop being silly. How are you and Xiao Lu doing over there?"
"It's all good. I'll be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Oh, and please tell Aunt Hongying that she's going to be a grandmother soon."
Jiang Moli only learned about Jiang Qing's pregnancy from Tangyuan on her way here.
As a new father, Zhang Jiaming was naturally proud and shared his joy with his comrades as soon as he returned to the dormitory.
After making the call, it was almost midnight when I got back to the guesthouse.
Jiang Moli told Shen Yanzhi, Lu Tingting, and Tangyuan to go to the hotel first, while she went back to the guesthouse and called Feng Meihua, Jiang Wenjuan, Zhong Xiner and their siblings, as well as other family members who were participating in the performance.
"Xiao Jiang, Teacher Shen's friend is inviting you to dinner. It's not appropriate for so many of us to go, is it?"
On the way, Jiang Wenjuan couldn't help but feel uneasy.
So many people went to eat there without even having met the person, like they were begging for alms.
"Sister-in-law Wenjuan, as the saying goes, 'Those with thick skin eat their fill.' So, eat as much as you want, and I'll take care of everything else!"
The Xu siblings had already arrived at the restaurant.
Xu Siyuan ordered a pot of tea and chatted with Shen Yanzhi while drinking.
Lu Tingting was drinking tea when she turned her head and glanced outside the restaurant, causing her to spit out the tea in her mouth.
"Teacher Lu, what's wrong?"
Meeting the questioning gazes of Shen Yanzhi and the Xu siblings, Lu Tingting pointed outside the restaurant: "Jiang Moli is here!"
The four of them turned their heads to look.
Xu Siyuan was dumbfounded when he saw Jiang Moli leading a large group of more than a dozen people.
Wasn't it supposed to be two people?
Shen Yanzhi was equally shocked.
He thought Jiang Moli had only called Feng Meihua and Jiang Wenjuan over, but he didn't expect her to bring them all.
This isn't a meal, it's a banquet.
"Reporter Xu, are we not late?"
Xu Siyuan's smile was forced. "No, please sit down."
Since they've already come all this way, it's impossible to turn them away; scholars wouldn't do something so uncivilized.
"There are a lot of us, and we're afraid one table won't be enough. Waiter, we'll take the table next door too."
Seeing Jiang Moli taking the initiative, the Xu siblings were speechless.
Isn't that a bit too shameless?
"Disdain value +2, 20000 yuan credited."
The other family members and the three Zhong siblings sat at the next table, while Jiang Moli, Feng Meihua, and Jiang Wenjuan sat at the same table as the Xu siblings.
Jiang Moli sat next to Lu Tingting.
Lu Tingting sneered at her in a low voice, "Can't you have any shame? Someone else is treating, and you bring so many people."
Jiang Moli replied, "Then go back. One less person means one less mouth to feed."
Lu Tingting snorted; she wasn't going to leave.
Everyone else is eating out, why shouldn't she?
