Chapter 207

"Mumu, sit down first."

Zhang's father also greeted: "The food will not taste good when it gets cold later!"

Su Mu couldn't resist Father Zhang's enthusiasm, so he had to sit down.

"Mu Mu! Try this sauced beef. Aunt Zhang cooked it specially for you." Father Zhang took a piece of chopsticks and put it in Su Mu's bowl.

"Thank you uncle." Su Mu looked at the sauced beef in the bowl and hesitated for a moment.

Because I usually don't eat much meat, especially this kind of roasted meat, but I can't stand Father Zhang's enthusiasm.

"Taste it quickly and see how it tastes!" Father Zhang looked at Su Mu expectantly.

"Well, it tastes great." Su Mu raised his head and smiled slightly at the person in front of him.

"Let me just say, Mu Mu will definitely like it." Mother Zhang walked out of the kitchen with a smile, and then put the soup in her hand on the dining table.

The happy appearance of the family made Su Mu feel warm in his heart.

It seems that I haven't felt this way for a long time. It seems that it has been a long time since I visited Zhang's father and Zhang's mother last time.

"Mu Mu, is the food not to your taste?" Mother Zhang asked looking at Su Mu who was in a daze.

Su Mu regained his composure immediately, smiled at Zhang's mother, and said, "No, I feel very happy now."

"Haha, okay." Mother Zhang said with a kind face, "Then stay at home for a few more days."

When Su Mu heard this, he didn't answer, but smiled slightly.

"Snapped--"

"Snapped--"

There was the sound of fireworks going off outside the window.

The fireworks bloomed colorfully in the sky, making the originally dark sky brighten up all of a sudden.

"Wow, someone is setting off fireworks!" Zhang's mother looked out of the window and couldn't help but let out a voice of admiration.

"It's really beautiful!"

Seeing the envy on Zhang's mother's face, Zhang's father couldn't help but joked: "You are such a big man, why do you still look like a child?"

"Aunt is still a girlish person!" Su Mu said to Zhang's mother.

"When I was young, my family lived in the compound. When it was New Year's Eve, the children in the compound would come out and gather together to set off fireworks."

As Mother Zhang spoke, her eyes were full of memories.

"I haven't seen fireworks in the past few years, and this year is even better. The city stipulates that they can be set off in a certain period of time."

Su Mu has never let off fireworks since he was a child. Maybe because he grew up in an orphanage, his feelings have always been extremely weak.

"Mu Mu! Let's play a few games of chess with me later!" Father Zhang suggested from the side.

"Okay!" Su Mu agreed with a smile.

Zhang's mother poked Zhang's father's arm, frowned and complained: "Today there is a waiting meeting in front of the temple in the city, how nice it is to let their young people watch the lantern festival!"

"It's so cold outside, how comfortable it is to stay at home, and you can play chess with me." Father Zhang didn't understand.

Zhang's mother glanced at Zhang's father with extreme disgust, complaining that he didn't understand style.

Zhang's father saw the resentful eyes of Zhang's mother in front of him, and suddenly came to his senses, and said again and again: "Oh! You can play chess at any time, and this lantern festival only happens once a year. You should go and see it after dinner." Let's see."

Su Mu saw the little tricks of the two on the side, and it was hard to expose them, so he could only secretly smile in his heart.

The wind tonight is not particularly dry, it only feels cool when it blows on the face, Su Mu shrinks her neck into the furry scarf.

On the entire road to the temple in the city, pedestrians come and go.

"Is this the first time Mu Mu has come to this kind of temple?" Zhang Jiaming asked casually, wanting to liven up the atmosphere.

"It's the first time." Su Mu raised his head and replied with a smile.

"Candied haws! Big and sweet candied haws!" a low voice came from an old man pushing a bicycle.

Zhang Jiaming stopped the old man who was selling candied haws, and said to him, "Two bunches of candied haws!"

"Come on!" The old man responded, and picked out two bunches of big-looking candied haws and handed them to Zhang Jiaming.

"Thank you." Zhang Jiaming responded casually, took out his mobile phone and scanned the payment code on the grandfather's bicycle, and asked, "How much?"

"20 dollars."

"Mu Mu, here." Zhang Jiaming handed it to Su Mu, took a bite himself, and smiled at her, "It's so sweet, try it."

Su Mu took it over. Although he said that he didn't like sweet things very much, seeing Zhang Jiaming's expectant face, he couldn't refuse.

"Thank you Brother Jiaming." Su Mu responded sweetly.

When the temple in the city was full of incense, there was an endless stream of pilgrims, most of whom were women who came to pray for safety.

Later, the city underwent major economic reforms, and the area where the Temple of the City was located was designated as the "pioneer" of economic reforms. As the first person to eat crabs, nearby high-rise buildings sprung up.

With the rapid development of the economy, some small businesses began to acquire land and build factories on a large scale. The government once considered whether to demolish the temple, but some scholars in the city strongly opposed it. They believed that the temple in the city had witnessed the historical changes of the city for nearly a hundred years.

Su Mu and Zhang Jiaming walked across the stone arch bridge. Below it was a river that was neither wide nor narrow. A few years ago, the river dried up due to climate problems. In recent years, it has been rebuilt and slowly restored to its previous state.

"Wow! They are setting off Kongming lanterns!" Su Mu saw a group of little girls holding the lit Kongming lanterns and slowly let go of their hands, watching it slowly rise into the sky.

"Then let's put one in too." Zhang Jiaming suggested.

"Okay!" Su Mu was full of joy, maybe today's atmosphere affected her.

The two happily bought Kongming lanterns and stood by the river.

"Brother Jiaming, what is your wish!" Su Mu looked forward to Zhang Jiaming who was fiddling with the Kongming lantern.

"My wish is..." Zhang Jiaming paused, and then said, "I hope my family members are in good health!"

"Then my wish is to hope that brother Jiaming's wish will come true!"

Watching Su Mu slowly raise the Kongming Lantern into the sky with anticipation, Zhang Jiaming felt a throbbing in his heart.

"Brother Jiaming, let it go, look, mine has risen!" Su Mu said to Zhang Jiaming.

Su Mu stood quietly under the night, her hair was lifted by the breeze, making her look extraordinarily peaceful.

Zhang Jiaming was stunned and lost his mind.

"Brother Jiaming!" Su Mu called out again.

Zhang Jiaming regained his composure and smiled at Su Mu, "Look! It's rising."

The Kongming lanterns of the two people went up to the sky one after the other, Zhang Jiaming secretly prayed in his heart: I hope Su Mu can also be safe.

After the two of them went back, Mother Zhang was cleaning up the guest room.

"Mumu will sleep here today. Auntie changed a new set of sheets for you." Mother Zhang smiled and hugged the changed sheets and quilt out as she said.

"Why don't Mumu go to sleep with me, it's more convenient to get up at night and go to the toilet." Zhang Jiaming suggested.

"No need, I'll just sleep here." Su Mu politely declined.

It's not good to spend the night at the employer's house, but now I have to sleep in the employer's room, which is not acceptable.

"Okay." Zhang Jiaming couldn't resist her so he agreed.

At night, Su Mu lay alone on Zhang's bed, thinking about it.

Right now, the relationship with Zhang Jiaming is getting closer and closer, Zhang's parents also know of his existence, what if one day the paper can't hold the fire?
You can't let Zhang Jiaming rent out for a lifetime!
Thinking of this, Su Mu fell into a whirlpool of entanglement again.

Then wait until the day before leaving to talk to Brother Jiaming about this matter.

Su Mu turned over, and the quilt on her body smelled of laundry detergent, which was very fragrant.

It may be because of too much fatigue these days, Su Mu gradually fell asleep.

Early in the morning, I was woken up by the rumbling sound of New Year greetings.

Su Mu didn't dare to lie on the bed anymore, so she quickly put on her clothes and tidied up briefly.

"Uncle, aunt, happy new year, nephew wishes you a happy new year!"

Su Mu saw a man in the living room greeting the Zhang couple sitting on the sofa.

This is Zhang Jiaming's cousin, who has been working outside the city, and bought a ticket back last week.

"This is..." The cousin who stood up looked surprised when he saw Su Mu standing aside.

"This one! It's Jiaming's girlfriend." Zhang's mother smiled and pulled Su Mu's hand and said to her cousin.

"Jia Ming is so secretive! He found such a beautiful girlfriend!" Although my cousin said so, he was still jealous.

A pair of gloomy eyes looked at Su Mu.Although Zhang Jiaming's cousin has worked outside for several years, he is not a few years older than him.

Unexpectedly, Jiaming, a short wax gourd, has such a blessing!Cousin was secretly aggrieved in his heart, compared with Su Mu, the girlfriend he was looking for was like a heaven and earth.

"Hi cousin!" Su Mu greeted the man in front of him with a smile.

"Hello." Seeing Su Mu smiling at him, my cousin felt his heart melt, as if a warm breeze brushed his cheeks.

"You kid can't leave at noon today!" Father Zhang patted his cousin on the shoulder with a smile, and then said: "We haven't seen each other for more than a year, let's drink a few pots with your uncle at noon today! "

"It's no problem directly!" Cousin smiled at Father Zhang.

At this time, Zhang Jiaming also came out of his room, seeing his cousin standing in the living room, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he calmed down immediately.

He stretched out his hand to say hello to his cousin: "Cousin is here, why don't you say hello in advance!"

"You kid!" Cousin stepped forward and punched Zhang Jiaming pretending to be angry: "I usually don't know how to send me a message to say hello!"

Although it was a joke, Su Mu obviously grinned when he saw Zhang Jiaming's pain.

"Haha, you two have been stuck together since you were young, why are you still fighting like brothers and children at such an age!" Father Zhang joked to the two brothers.

"Haha!" My cousin said heartily, "Today I have to drink Jiaming down!"

Zhang's mother went to the kitchen to get busy, and Zhang's father and son were chatting with their cousin.

Su Mu was sitting on the sofa alone, watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala yesterday.

"Mu Mu! Come and help me!" Seeing Su Mu's back alone, Zhang's mother hurriedly called her in.

"Good aunt." Su Mu put down the phone in his hand and walked into the kitchen.

"Wow——" Su Mu turned on the faucet, and was about to clean the vegetables in the vegetable basket.

"Hey! Don't move." Mother Zhang hurriedly held Su Mu to keep her hands from getting wet.

"Me! I saw you bored alone in the living room!" Mother Zhang smiled, and then said, "Come on, there is a stool here, sit down quickly."

"How can this be done!" Su Mu shook his head again and again, and smiled at Zhang's mother, "Don't underestimate me, Auntie, I can cook too!"

"Really!" Zhang's mother regained her spirit immediately after hearing this, and admired secretly in her heart. She never thought that Su Mu could cook with such a pretty face.

That's right, Zhang's mother thought with relief that it's really a fool's luck to be a fool. Although his son is not good-looking, he found a good girlfriend.

The prawns in the basin were alive and kicking, and small water splashed out from time to time.

Su Mu picked up the basin and said to Zhang's mother, "Then let me make you a greasy prawn!"

"Okay, okay!" Mother Zhang smiled from ear to ear.

"Mu Mu, I'll leave it to you!"

"Okay, no problem!" Su Mu assured.

The first step is to pick out the shrimp line.

Su Mu found a pack of toothpicks, and gently curled up the head of the shrimp. The black line in the middle was the same as the shrimp thread.

In a few minutes, the shrimps in the basin were processed.

Heat the oil in a pan, add the chopped shallots, ginger, and garlic, then pour the processed prawns into the pan, and stir fry a few times until the prawns change color.

The next step is to prepare the soy sauce.

Two spoons of light soy sauce, one spoon of dark soy sauce, one spoon of oil, then add one spoon of cooking wine, half a spoon of balsamic vinegar and a little tomato sauce.

Su Mu skillfully stirred the seasonings evenly and poured them into the pot.

Just listening to the sound of "stab--", bursts of fragrance came to the nostrils.

"It smells so good! Mu Mu." Seeing Su Mu's proficiency, Zhang's mother was filled with relief again. It seems that this little girl often cooks at home!
That silly boy Jia Ming is lucky!

Zhang's mother said to her: "Mumu is awesome, cook at home often."

"It's rare to see a child as sensible as you now!" Mother Zhang praised Su Mu again, which only made Su Mu feel embarrassed.

Su Mu skillfully stir-fried a few times, picked up the pot, and poured it into the dinner plate prepared on the side.

"Come on! Let's eat!" Mother Zhang walked out of the kitchen and greeted the three people on the sofa.

At this time, Su Mu also came out with fried prawns in oil, and said to the people at the table, "Everyone, try my cooking too!"

"Wow! Jiaming's girlfriend can cook!" My cousin looked at Su Mu and praised, picking up one of his chopsticks and putting it in his mouth.

"It's delicious! It's delicious!" My cousin praised it repeatedly.

"Jiaming, you are so lucky! You have found such a beautiful and virtuous girlfriend." The cousin looked at Zhang Jiaming and complimented him.

"Isn't sister-in-law the same!" Zhang Jiaming smiled and smoothed things over and over again.

"Don't talk about it, you haven't followed me home this year!" It's okay not to mention it, but once I mention my cousin, I will get angry.

"I originally thought about going home during the Chinese New Year so that she could meet her parents too, but I didn't expect that people would not give me this face at all."

The cousin's face was clouded: "Why don't you go home for the New Year? I want to go back and reunite with her parents."
