During those few days when she returned to the small town, Hu Baozhu ate and drank at Xie Ying's house. She said that there was only an old couple living in her grandparents' house, so it was not interesting, so it was better to stay with Xie Ying.

She used to live a miserable life, but now she is comfortable and at ease. She does not shy away from other people's comments and opinions, and she no longer feels ashamed to face her friends because of her "inaction". She and Xie Ying seem to have returned to their childhood, sticking together every day.

together.

Wang Jiying does not reject Hu Baozhu, and she does not feel distressed when Hu Baozhu eats, drinks and has fun at Xie's house. However, if Hu Baozhu wants to be her daughter-in-law, it is absolutely impossible.

On the first day Hu Baozhu spent the night at Xie's house, Wang Jiying made an innuendo: "Baozhu, your son-in-law didn't come back with you?"

son in law……

Hu Baozhu hadn't heard such a title for a long time.

She laughed and said, "I'm not even married, so where can I get a son-in-law?"

Wang Jiying said in confusion: "The news of your marriage has caused quite a stir. We are still wondering why you, a big star, got married so early?"

"Second Aunt, that was a prank deliberately done by Hu Baozhu." Xie Ying said on behalf of her good friend: "At that time, she was scolded by the whole Internet, so she just went against the netizens. She was not really married, she was with her nominal husband

It’s just the relationship of good friends.”

Wang Jiying felt even more ridiculous.

This girl can make fun of even marriage matters, and she will definitely be more frivolous in other matters.

Wang Jiying started a new round of testing: "Baozhu, I read the recent entertainment news, and they are all talking about 'hidden rules' and so on..."

Xie Ying put down her chopsticks. She was not happy that her second aunt asked this question.

Wang Jiying is also very witty. She laughed and said, "I made a mistake. I shouldn't have said nonsense."

"Aunt Wang, if I could be related to the unspoken rules, would my resources be so poor? I wouldn't even be happy to have a meal with the director and producer, and the things you think of are even less likely to happen," Hu Baozhu said.

: "As long as I am more secular, I will not be excluded by this circle. You see, the people who want to make movies with me now are all directors of niche literary films or foreign directors. I don't know how many times I have missed the big hits.

Where’s Zi’s chance?”

Wang Jiying admires her very much, but she still feels that her future daughter-in-law cannot be engaged in the "acting" industry. "Being clean and self-sufficient is a very rare quality. You must cherish yourself more. Stop joking about marriage, otherwise you will not be able to find another one in the future."

to the object."

"I'm not in a hurry, Aunt Wang." Hu Baozhu said with a smile, "I have very high standards when it comes to choosing a boyfriend!"

Wang Jiying said nothing more and turned back to the room.

The smell of gunpowder in the house dissipated, and Xie Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Baozhu and Xie Ying snickered: "Your second aunt still doesn't like me very much."

"Because you like Xie Chong, she treats you as an imaginary enemy. My second aunt is good at everything, but she has too high standards for choosing a daughter-in-law. She wants my brother to get married as soon as possible, but she doesn't like the girls my brother likes.

.”

"I can understand your second aunt. Your brother's current conditions can score 90 points, but in your second aunt's eyes, that is 100 points, or even higher than 100 points. Therefore, ordinary girls will definitely not see it.

superior."

"Then how are you and my brother?" Xie Ying asked curiously: "My brother is still like an iceberg to you?"

"He has never been like an iceberg." Hu Baozhu recalled every moment of getting along with him and said: "Actually, he cares about me, but he doesn't allow me to like him. Well, if we don't talk about him anymore, he will let me

disappointment."

Hu Baozhu is used to living alone. She eats simple cereal and yogurt every morning. Xie Ying wants to eat with her, but Wang Jiying firmly disagrees: "Xiaoying, you are already thin and have a weak stomach, but you can't

Learn from Baozhu."

Hu Baozhu drinks coffee, but Wang Jiying doesn't let her niece follow her example: "Xiaoying, coffee stimulates the stomach and intestines. You should drink as little as possible! If you drink too much, you still can't sleep at night."

Hu Baozhu rarely eats normally. She stayed at Xie's house for a few days, but she didn't eat a grain of rice. She only had salad and chicken breast every day. Occasionally she would eat with Xie's family, but she would only eat vegetables and not staple food.

Wang Jiying couldn't stand it: "I said Baozhu, if you don't eat, you will get sick from hunger."

Hu Baozhu smiled and said: "Aunt Wang, do you feel sorry for me?"

Looking at the thin Hu Baozhu, Wang Jiying felt a little distressed, and felt that this little girl was having a hard time. How much perseverance does it take to be indifferent to delicious food?

However, Wang Jiying refused to admit it: "I feel sorry for you, but that's not the case. I'm just worried that if you starve and lose weight in my house, others will think that we are reluctant to feed you."

"Aunt Wang, I usually eat. Aren't I going to be filming a movie in a few days? I have to stay in shape. Otherwise, I'll be sorry for those who have expectations of me."

Wang Jiying was a little impressed. This little girl was quite dedicated.

Wang Jiying brought back a lot of coffee beans from her husband's office, saying that they were given by customers and that no one in the family knew how to drink coffee. She threw away all the expired coffee beans, and there were some newer ones left, which she brought to Hu Baozhu to drink.

.

In addition to the coffee beans, there was also a hand-cranked coffee grinder gathering dust in the corner. I forgot who gave it to him, but Wang Jiying gave it to Hu Baozhu as well.

Wang Jiying also brought back some whole-wheat bread, saying that eating these breads would not make him fat. In this way, Hu Baozhu would not go hungry.

Hu Baozhu was so happy that she happily said to Xie Ying: "Your second aunt is really good at taking care of people! I want her to be my mother-in-law!"

"Ha, then you have to keep working harder. My brother is much more difficult to deal with than my second aunt."

Wang Jiying didn't spend much time at home, but as soon as she came home, she would intentionally or unintentionally say that she wanted to introduce someone to her son. The girls she mentioned were all girls from good families and with high academic qualifications.

Hu Baozhu enthusiastically asked her for photos, saying that she knew Xie Chong very well and could do some ideological work for him to get him to accept a new relationship.

Wang Jiying was very puzzled, Hu Baozhu was not jealous?

But she didn't have a photo. She had to prevaricate, saying that she would wait until the girl was willing.

Hu Baozhu asked: "Auntie, do you know that Xie Chong broke up?"

Wang Jiying was even more panicked: "Well... Anyway, I found out accidentally."

Hu Baozhu no longer made things difficult for her.

Xie Ying was at home during the holidays and occasionally ran errands for her family. Wang Jiying left a contract at home, so Xie Ying delivered it to her on an electric bike.

Hu Baozhu sat behind the electric car, hugged Xie Ying's waist, and cheered in the cold wind: "How happy!"

Xie Ying reminded: "There is ambiguity in what you say."

"I don't care what other people think?" Hu Baozhu said: "I just like the feeling of running in the wind, it's so exciting!"

She is still the free Hu Baozhu.

There are only two people in Wang Jiying's agency, and the office they rent now is much more spacious than before. It used to be in the corner of the first floor of a low-end commercial building, but now it has been moved to the best office building in the city center.

Wang Jiying originally didn't plan to move. It was her husband who did her ideological work. She said that she had been suffering for half her life, but now that she has the conditions, it's time to enjoy it.

As for how much the rent was, Wang Jiying didn't know. Her husband notified her to move there after he rented it.

Xie Ying brought the contract to Wang Jiying, and a client happened to come in to discuss the matter. Wang Jiying warmly invited her to sit down and asked her if she wanted to drink tea.

The customer looked like a rich person at first glance, and a rich person with a western style. She said that she had been abroad for a long time and was no longer used to drinking tea. She usually only drank coffee and read books.

Wang Jiying said: "I only have instant coffee here, don't dislike it."

The customer nodded lazily and said casually: "There's nothing we can do about it."

Hu Baozhu had an idea and said: "Sit here for a while. I have a hand-cranked grinder at home. I just ground the beans this morning. Do you want to drink American style, or latte? Or something else?"

The customer said: "Don't bother, I have to make a trip."

"No trouble, just ride an electric bike over here. It'll only take three to five minutes. You can chat slowly here - if you don't have any requirements, I'll prepare a cup of Americano!"

Xie Ying was the driver, and Hu Baozhu quickly made a cup of coffee. I have to say that it was a pleasure to watch her make coffee. She skillfully put on the filter paper and "rinsed" the coffee beans with the coffee pot in a leisurely manner.

of powder, the coffee is extracted drop by drop.

It turns out that making coffee is such an elegant process. Xie Ying was stunned. She, who had never been interested in coffee, wanted to drink coffee.

Hu Baozhu poured coffee into a thermos cup and urged Xie Ying to get on her way quickly.

Xie Ying asked in confusion: "There may be a coffee seller in the building, why are you so attentive?"

"I'm just being attentive!" Hu Baozhu said honestly: "If it's your mother's client who wants to drink coffee, then I won't care. But now it's Xie Chong's mother who needs coffee! Can I not be attentive?

"

Xie Ying chuckled: "No wonder, the only ones who can make big star Hu Baozhu around are Xie Chong's family."

When the coffee arrived, the customer was discussing her conditions with Wang Jiying. Hu Baozhu poured the coffee from the thermos cup into a paper cup and handed it to the customer.

The customer took a sip and nodded approvingly: "In the future, my aunt will also learn to make coffee."

Wang Jiying hurriedly wrote it down.

Xie Ying felt a little uncomfortable. What the customer said seemed to belittle Hu Baozhu and treat Hu Baozhu as someone at her disposal. But Hu Baozhu didn't care. She smiled and said: "Find someone in this small city who can make coffee."

My aunt, it’s really not easy!”

The customer said: "Auntie must not only be able to make coffee, but also be able to drive and communicate in basic English, because my husband is a foreigner. If you want to live in my house, you are not allowed to take leave unless necessary."

As the customer spoke, she caressed her handbag intentionally or unintentionally. With sharp eyes, Hu Baozhu estimated the price of the bag with a glance.

"Auntie must learn to take care of your bag." Hu Baozhu joked: "If auntie doesn't know the goods, it will be easy to damage your bag, and all her salary for several years of work will be wasted."

Wang Jiying only thought that this customer's clothes were extraordinary, but she did not expect that the bag she was carrying was so expensive. She operates an agency in a small city, and most of her contacts are from the slightly affluent class, so she does not know much about luxury goods.

Without Hu Baozhu, she would not have noticed that customer's worth.
