Chapter 498： Shao Lin returns to China

The car soon parked in the alley outside the gate of the courtyard.

"Miss Xie, thank you so much today, come to eat at home another day."

In the past, Huang Zhiqiu would warmly invite Xie Xia into his house, but today is a bit abnormal.

Xie Xia nodded with a smile, helped Yunmo put the contents of the trunk on the doorstep and left.

"Momo, I forgot to bring the key, you open the door."

"it is good."

Yunmo took out the key, unlocked the lock, and pushed open the door. She was immediately stunned by the layout of the courtyard.

From the entrance to the yard, a one-meter-wide flower path is laid out with red roses along the road, extending all the way to the yard.

The red rose has been cut off all the branches, leaves and root diameter, leaving only the bright and dripping corolla, which looks like it grows from the ground.

A long table with off-white tablecloths has been set up in the yard. There are flowers, fruits, and cakes on the long table, and heart-shaped balloons are floating around.

"Momo, go in quickly, Xiao Ling has been preparing for the whole day."

Hearing the reminder sound behind her, Yunmo turned her head subconsciously, and met Huang Zhiqiu with a smiling and blessed face.

"Today, you and Xiao Ling will have a good holiday at home. I will go to the store and come back after dinner."

Huang Zhiqiu was about to go out after finishing speaking, Yun Mo hurriedly told her: "Mom, be careful."

"understood."

With bodyguards around, Yunmo is not too worried about Huang Zhiqiu's safety.

She closed the door, turned around and walked to the center of the yard, casually took out a red rose from the vase on the long table, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Looking at the nervous and cautious face of the man, Yunmo tapped the man's forehead with the flower in her hand.

"Not bad, whose idea?"

"Xie Xia and Zeng Fang helped me think about it together."

No wonder she always felt that Xie Xia looked at her a little strangely today.

Yunmo broke off the rose, pinned it to her ear, and then stretched out her hand towards the man.

"What about presents?"

Ling Chuan took out a ruby ​​ring from his pocket.

The band of the ring is pure gold, slender and plain, with a heart-shaped ruby ​​of about one carat inlaid on the ring face.

The style of gold and ruby ​​is a bit vulgar, but in this era, such a ruby ​​ring is dazzling enough to make most women cast envious eyes.

Yunmo returned the ring to Ling Chuan, and then stretched out her left hand to the other party's puzzled gaze.

"Put it on for me."

"it is good."

Seeing that the man was about to put the ring on her middle finger, Yunmo quickly shook her ring finger, "Put this one on!"

"Ah, oh."

Seeing the man in a hurry, Yunmo couldn't help but tease: "When you bought the ring, didn't the salesperson tell you which hand to wear it on?"

"I said, I was too nervous, I remembered wrongly."

"There's nothing to be nervous about, it's not getting married."

After helping her put the ring on, Ling Chuan dared to speak, "I'm afraid you won't like it."

Yunmo raised her left hand and looked left and right, with a satisfied smile on her face, "I think it's pretty good, the style is simple and elegant, and the color of the red treasure is also good. Which one did you choose?"

"Um."

Seeing that she liked it, Ling Chuan couldn't help showing tenderness and a smile in his eyes.

After admiring the ring on her hand, Yunmo turned her palms over, and it turned out that it was also a men's ring.

The ring that Yunmo bought was also pure gold, a living strip ring with simple patterns engraved on the ring surface, which is stylish and everyday.

In fact, Yunmo originally prepared a platinum men's ring, but after seeing the man's invoice for a ruby ​​ring by accident, she went to buy a gold one again.

Looking at the ring finger being put on the cold ring with his own eyes, Ling Chuan was full of pleasant surprises.

"Daughter-in-law, you also bought me a ring?"

Yun Mo helped him adjust the size of the ring, and replied: "Of course you have what others have."

To put it simply, it was like a seed took root in my heart, sprouted, and grew into a towering giant tree that no one could shake.

Ling Chuan's chest was very full, and the enthusiasm slowly welled up in his eyes, which was forcibly suppressed by him.

Men's fingers are long, and wearing a bar-shaped ring doesn't look bulky at all, but looks very temperamental.

"Okay, if the size is not suitable, you can adjust it yourself."

"Just right, thank you daughter-in-law."

Yun Mo put the ring-wearing hands of both of them together for comparison, and then pretended to be fierce and "warned": "If you lose the ring, I won't buy it for you."

Ling Chuan hurriedly said: "I won't lose it, I promise!"

"That's good."

Seeing her looking down at the ruby ​​ring on her hand, Ling Chuan suddenly said, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, if you lose your ring, I will buy you a new one."

He will not only buy new ones for his daughter-in-law, but also buy many, many, so that her daughter-in-law can change them every day.

Daughter-in-law's fingers are so pretty, they look even better with a ring on them.

Hearing the man's words, Yunmo couldn't help retorting warmly: "Crow's mouth, can you say something auspicious, if I really lost it, it was you who said it."

Ling Chuan looked at her dotingly and did not refute.

After exchanging gifts, the meal will follow.

The dishes are well prepared, a combination of Chinese and Western, including sweet and sour pork ribs, grilled shrimp with salt, fried steak and fruit salad, all of which Yunmo loves.

Satisfied with food and drink, Ling Chuan took out a borrowed instant camera and took many single photos and group photos of his wife.

For Yunmo, the first wedding anniversary in her life was a warm and complete one.

—

The next day, July 6th, Yunmo got up early in the morning because she was going to go to the examination room today.

At the Beijing airport, thousands of miles away, Shao Lin, who had been abroad for more than a month to inspect business, finally returned to the capital on an international flight.

In the car back to Shao's compound, Shao Lin asked how his son Shao Yi'an was doing.

After Liang Kuan's brief report, he immediately mentioned a few more things about Wei Fu's phone call.

Hearing that someone came to Shao's house to look for him, Shao Lin didn't take it too seriously.

Back to Shao's house, after a short rest, Shao Lin went to Lanju with the gift he brought back from abroad.

Lanju's side, several simple and delicious home-cooked dishes have been set up in the stone pavilion in the front yard.

Mrs. Shao stood in front of the railing of the stone pavilion, leaning on the railing to appreciate a chrysanthemum petal jasmine plant more than two meters high beside the stone pavilion.

The courtyard is secluded, with a faint fragrance floating.

"Mom still knows how to grow flowers. Generally, the double-petalled jasmine grows to the top of one meter, but the plant raised by my mother is good at growing every year."

Hearing her son's familiar voice, Mrs. Shao turned her head, "I'll arrive at about the same time as you. The food is already set up, let's sit down."

"The food at home still suits the taste."

After tasting the shredded pork with sauce, Shao Lin couldn't help expressing emotion.

Ms. Shao put a piece of crab roe tofu in his bowl, "Eat two more bites if you like it, and come back a little thinner every time you go out. Since the outside is not good, go home early."

Shao Lin smiled and nodded, "Mom is right."

Madam Shao gave him a glaring look, "You promised quickly with your mouth, but you remember it with your heart."

"I don't dare not to take your words to heart. Here, I bought the Ceylon black tea you talked about earlier. I went to the place of origin to buy it. If time didn't allow me, I would stay there to pick it, dry it, knead it, and ferment it. I will make you two cans of unique black tea in this world with my own hands, as a token of my filial piety."

Ms. Shao was amused by her son's words, "You are poor, so don't talk about making tea by yourself. It would be nice if you come back and have two meals with me when you have time."

"Two meals are not enough, but several meals are needed."

"Tch, you just know how to speak, and every time you speak better than sing."

A simple lunch ended happily amidst the banter of the mother and son.

After tasting the black tea brought back from abroad with Mrs. Shao, Shao Lin got up and went back to his yard, and Mrs. Shao sent him out.

"By the way, someone handed you a letter last time, and I put it in your study. You can read it when you have time."

"okay, I get it."

In the evening, I made an appointment with an important client to discuss matters. Shao Lin originally planned to go back to his yard to take a nap for a while, to adjust the time difference and recharge his batteries for the evening entertainment, but after lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was always Can't help but think about the letter Mrs. Shao said.

"Uncle Fu!"

Wei Fu responded and came to the door of his room, "Sir, are you calling me?"

"You take the letter that Madam put in the study some time ago."
