It was after five o'clock, when the store was busy. Ji Luo held his son and sat in front of the counter to check out and order food. When he saw an acquaintance he had met at noon, he smiled: "Comrade Rong, are you off work?"

"Yes, I just got off work."

Rong Renren came to pay back the money and looked around the store, "Has Comrade Ren gone back?"

"No, the food has just been delivered to the second floor."

Ji Luo looked for his sister-in-law when he saw him coming. When he learned that she was still here, his eyes brightened obviously and he smiled slightly: "Comrade Rong, you brought a lunch box here, do you want to pack the food back?"

"Yes, pack two dishes for me, one braised pork, one garlic shrimp, and two rice."

Rong Renren handed her the money, but kept glancing towards the stairs, "I'll give you the fifty cents I owe you at noon."

"Ok."

Ji Luo wanted to laugh when she saw his little actions. She hadn't seen such a shy and innocent man for a long time. Now it seemed that he fell in love with his sister-in-law at first sight. Her sister-in-law was as lively and cheerful as the sun, and their personalities were quite complementary. of.

Ren Rongrong came downstairs carrying a tray and saw him at first sight. She ran over with a smile on her face: "Rong Renren, are you off work?"

"Well, I'm here to buy food and pay back."

When Rong Renren saw her, his eyes shone brightly. If you look closely, you would find that he was actually very nervous and his body was obviously tense.

"You eat out at night instead of cooking at home?" Ren Rongrong came over to entertain him.

"I have to work overtime tonight."

Ren Rongrong said "Oh" and asked him again: "Have you ordered the food?"

"It's ready. Your sister-in-law went to the kitchen to inform." Rong Renren stood in front of the counter without moving. Seeing that her hair on her forehead was wet from her busy work, he asked, "Will you come over tomorrow?"

"I won't be here tomorrow. I only have a day off today."

Ren Rongrong gave him a bowl of iced sour plum soup, which Ji Luo had cooked in the morning. She held the bowl to him and said, "This is the sour plum soup cooked by my sister-in-law. It's iced. It tastes pretty good. Try it."

"Thank you."

Rong Renren politely thanked him before taking the bowl, and after taking a sip, he asked: "When does your store close at night?"

"Close at half past six."

"You don't get back from get off work until half past six?" Rong Renren asked again.

"No, my sister-in-law and I are just here to help. We don't live here. My brother will pick us up later. When he arrives, we will go back first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ren Rongxi came in from the door, "Sister."

"Hey, Rong Xi, why are you here so early today?" Ren Rongrong said and poured him sour plum soup.

Ren Rongxi was wearing olive green short-sleeves and had a crew cut. He was tall, thin and upright, and had the unique temperament of a soldier. He only glanced at his sister when he came in, and his eyes fell on Rong Renren.

The two men did not speak, but Ren Rongrong introduced Rong Renren, "This is my brother."

"Hello, Comrade Ren." Rong Renren politely extended his hand.

Ren Rongxi shook hands with him and asked his sister, "Sister, who is this?"

"This comrade's name is Rong Renren. I just met him today. He is from the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau..." Ren Rongrong gave a brief introduction.

When Ji Luo came out with his son in one hand, he saw the three of them chatting in front of the counter with smiles on their faces: "Rong Xi, you came early today."

"Second sister-in-law, I'm finishing work early today."

Ren Rongxi came home from get off work, took a shower, and immediately drove to pick them up. He hugged the little dumpling into his arms and said, "Smelly dumpling, uncle."

Tuantuan was very happy to see him, his limbs were jumping for joy and he was still shouting.

Ji Luo was packing food for Rong Renren and said to his brother-in-law: "Rong Xi, hold me for a while while I finish packing the food for Comrade Rong and then we will go home."

"it is good."

Ren Rongxi did not stand in front of the counter to block the customers. After drinking the sour plum soup, she hugged her nephew and went outside.

Looking at his walking away, Rong Renren took the initiative to talk to Ren Rongrong: "Comrade Ren, how many brothers and sisters do you have at home?"

"Four, with a pair of twin brothers. I am the third oldest, and there is a younger brother below me."

Ren Rongrong gave him some more sour plum soup and said with a smile: "It is my second sister-in-law who helps you pack the food. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are not married yet. They are getting engaged in the past two days. My sister-in-law also helped in the store for a while. Order your food at the checkout here.”

Rong Renren had eaten here several times, thinking that the lesbian at the cashier whom he met for the first time must be her sister-in-law, so he asked slightly nervously: "Comrade Ren, is your lover married?"

"not yet."

Ren Rongrong didn't notice the subtle change in his expression. She just thought he asked casually and said generously: "Eldest brother has just been engaged. I am not in a hurry to think about marriage."

Ji Luo came out with a lunch box and happened to hear her words. He smiled slightly and said, "Rong Rong, if you find someone suitable, you can consider it."

"Hehe, there's no rush." ​​Ren Rongrong smiled.

Rong Renren didn't know that his elation was written on his face, nor did he see Ji Luo's smile that he couldn't hold back, and his heart was beating fast.

"Hey, Comrade Rong, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red, could it be heatstroke?" Ren Rongrong finally saw something unusual about him.

"Uh, no, no."

Rong Renren shook his head hurriedly, looking a little nervous. He picked up the packed lunch box and spoke quickly: "I, I'm going back first. See you next time."

"Oh, okay, see you next time." Ren Rongrong found that he was a little weird, but she didn't ask any more questions.

Ji Luo pursed her lips and smiled, without saying anything. She took the lunch box placed in the cabinet and said, "Rong Rong, I'm going to pick up some dishes to take home. I won't start the fire at home tonight."

"Okay. Sister-in-law, I want to eat Mapo Tofu. Order this for me."

Ji Luo and Ren Rongyan love spicy food. To cater for their tastes, there is at least one spicy dish in every meal at home. Now everyone's taste has changed slightly and they also like to eat spicy food.

Ji Luo packed the food, told Uncle Ge, and they took Tuan Tuan home first.

When they got home, they received a call from Jinling. The call was from Ruan Danqiong. She said that everything went well with the engagement. The Pei family and his wife were both senior intellectuals, reasonable and easy to talk to. They liked Ren Rongjie as his future son-in-law very much and supported and respected him. Work.

Ren Rongjie took another week's leave this time. It was the first time for both mother and son to go to Jinling. It was a rare trip, so they could stay a few more days to get acquainted with the Pei family's parents.

Everything was fine at home and they didn't need to worry about it. Ren Yi also asked her to stay in Jinling for a few more days and just come back before Ji Luo returned to Beijing.

In the next two days, Ji Luo still went to the hotel every day. In the morning, he asked Aunt Ge to help take care of Tuantuan, while she took an hour or two to go out to purchase goods, and then put all the ordered goods into storage bags.
