"Well, of course! I'm so good!"
Zhou Muqing felt relieved when he heard that Pippi was going well.
"I'll pick you up after finishing what I'm doing, and we'll have dinner together."
"Wait... I won't go out tonight. My parents finally came back. I want to be with them these few days."
It was reasonable for Pippi to want to stay with his family, but Zhou Muqing felt that it was a bit strange for her to reject him so abruptly, and he always felt that these words did not seem like what she said.
He guessed that Pippi might be happy or let him go to her house to have dinner with her family.
Zhou Muqing didn't ask any more questions.
"Alright, after the engagement, my uncle and aunt will go abroad again, and we still have a long time."
"Well, I'm looking forward to the engagement day."
"I love you."
After Pippi said this, she hung up the phone in a hurry, she was very afraid that Zhou Muqing would notice her emotions.
After hanging up the phone, Pippi left the meeting room. Instead of returning to the office, she went to meet someone.
At first, Pippi drove aimlessly, but then he immediately thought of his small yard.
Cozy and comfortable.
When Pippi arrived, he happened to be at home and was cooking.
"Why don't you go to the restaurant today?"
The man was not surprised by Pippi's sudden appearance, even after the engagement was cancelled, he was still very calm.
"The restaurant is mine. I can go there if I want to, and I don't want to go if I don't want to."
"capricious!"
Pippi put the food in his hand, "I don't know what gifts to bring for the best, but I brought you some raw materials to eat when I thought you opened a restaurant."
The man smiled, "Go and sit in the yard, there is a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen."
"Ok, I will wait for you."
As soon as Pippi obediently left the kitchen door, she returned instantly, "Do you want me to help?"
The man smiled, "What will you do?"
Pippi thought for a while, and picked a manual job that couldn't go wrong, "I might be good at washing vegetables."
"Okay, just help me wash the dishes."
In short, Pippi feels that getting along with this man is very natural and harmonious, and he will relax a lot.
"Is this part removed from this dish?"
Pippi discovered one thing when she first got started. Washing vegetables is actually a technical job, because some dishes are inedible and have to be folded off, but she doesn't know these things.
She looked at the man blankly, and the man put down the knife in his hand and came over.
He took the dish from Pippi and demonstrated it, "This way."
Pippi nodded, "OK, I understand, you continue to do your thing."
While washing the vegetables, she explained to the man the postponement of the engagement, but the man didn't say much.
I just said that as long as Pippi needs the garden, he can provide it at any time.
Pippi really opened his eyes to the fact that men are so primitive that they cook with firewood.
"Would such a meal have a special taste?"
"You can try it later."
It was already dark after the meal was ready, because cooking soup and rice with firewood was time-consuming.
The man brought the finished meal to the table in the yard, "Taste this first, and then this."
Pippi was a little curious after listening to the instructions, "Does the order of eating food also affect the taste?"
The man explained that he made dishes with different tastes, so Pippi needed to eat the light ones first, otherwise he would not be able to taste the light ones if he ate the heavy ones first.
"Okay, I'm going to start."
