Rebirth: Back to the Countryside

Chapter 26

Luyinfang is a Chinese restaurant with elegant interior decoration and a reputation for cooking skills in the city. There are many people who come here to eat, and the restaurant is often full, so reservations are required to get a seat.

However, Yuncheng has a VIP card, and there will be a box ready for temporary visits.

The two of them sat down in the private room, and a young girl came over to serve in a cheongsam. She had a curvy figure and light makeup, which was very eye-catching, but Mu Ci was hungry and not interested in watching.

She took the menu and began to order, and quickly ordered what she liked. In the evening, she had to study by herself in the evening. Although she was not afraid of being late, it would be better to go back early.

"I want the Golden Pheasant Xiuyuan set meal, and I also want a set of Shuixinxuan Cake, Begonia Cake, Candy Budou, Rouge Cold Cake."

After ordering, I found that there were some new Western-style pastries here. Looking at the pictures, Mu Ci couldn't resist ordering a mango jelly cheesecake.

Every time she encounters delicious pastries, she is used to ordering more, and packs what she can't finish.

Yuncheng knew her habits, but he disagreed: "That's a bit cold, it's only March and it will hurt your stomach."

Mu Ci said indifferently: "I only eat it occasionally, it's fine."

Yuncheng didn't say anything, after ordering the meal, the two chatted about the company, and then Yuncheng's phone rang.

Yuncheng stopped to pick up the phone, "Hello, Feng Yang?"

Mu Ci was at the side, listening to Feng Yang's name.

"Well, I just came back and was eating."

"Song Jiang, right? Tell him to find me in the Yun Group."

It seems that Feng Yang has something to trouble Yuncheng. I don't know how he is now. Mu Ci still remembers that three years ago, when he appeared in front of her in military uniform, she was like a young girl, but time passed. After so long, in retrospect, the throbbing in my heart has long been lost.

Look, how unreliable is love at first sight in the world, at least for her.

Seeing that Yun Cheng had hung up the phone, Mu Ci asked curiously, "Brother Yun, is Feng Yang still in the Air Force?"

Yun Cheng nodded: "Well, when he called me just now, he was still on mission in Country Y."

Mu Ci was surprised: "Isn't country Y at war?"

Yuncheng hummed.

"Is that life-threatening?"

With a serious face, Yun Cheng turned his head to look out of the window and said in a deep voice, "Of course, war is not a child's play. No matter how many soldiers can come back."

If his hand hadn't been injured at the beginning, he wouldn't have gone into business, but would have followed his own ideals to become a qualified air force partner and form a partner with Feng Yang to defend the dignity of the motherland on the territory of the sky until his old age. go.

For a while, the atmosphere in the box became a little heavy.

Yuncheng just reminisced for a while, then smiled and said to Mu Ci: "I just went to your school for the Three Refugees, and I heard that your school is going to shoot a program."

Mu Ci chuckled: "Brother Yun, are you going to visit Principal Yan? Is the school short of money recently? Why does the school, which has always been strict, suddenly decide to shoot a variety show? It's because of your good relationship. , would you like to help me?"

Yuncheng rolled his eyelids and sneered: "You said that the principal will be short of money? He is a new official and wants to carry out school reforms. He wants to use this opportunity to expand his influence. Of course, there are some things I won't talk about, you It’s not good to listen to such black material when you’re too young.”

Mu Ci couldn't help shaking his shoulders and laughing, and asked playfully, "Brother Yun, do you still treat me as an underage girl?"

"You're underage in the first place." Yuncheng said it as a matter of course, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Mu Ci was frustrated.

After dinner, Yuncheng sent her back to school, a few minutes before evening self-study, so Mu Ci went directly to the classroom.

When she returned to the classroom, she received a lot of attention. After her physical condition improved, Mu Ci could hear someone talking about her in a low voice.

"Tch, I'm not afraid of being ashamed to meet rich people outside at such a young age!"

"He is beautiful, so many rich people must like it."

"Who doesn't know what those rich people like about her..."

"What you said, hehe..."

Mu Ci glanced at the place where he was speaking. It was the two girls in the back row of the classroom who were talking about her. One of them was very good at dressing up. Her hair was ironed and straightened, and she was wearing a vest that is popular now. She didn't dare to put on makeup on her face. It seems to be called Ouyang Na, and her deskmate is called Xu Qing, an unattractive girl.

Really not interested in arguing with them, Mu Ci took the packaged pastries and sat back in his seat.

Zhang Xuepeng glanced at her, with a trace of concern deep in his eyes. Seeing that her expression was normal, he continued to read.

When Mu Ci sat down, he smelled instant noodles, and knew that her deskmate was trying to eat junk food again.

She thinks this is very bad, not to mention whether she will get sick in the future, but to eat too much instant noodles and not absorb enough nutrients. Isn't that destroying the flowers of the motherland?
What's more, Zhang Xuepeng is a master figure, he is really a thousand-year-old nanmu in the world, and a pillar of the motherland!

She put one of the boxes of pastries on his table, seeing him looking at her inexplicably, she smiled and said: "Please eat, I have too much to eat and waste it."

Zhang Xuepeng pushed back and said blankly: "I don't want it, you can give it to whoever you want."

Mu Ci felt that this person was really a bit stubborn, but she still didn't give up, pretending to be exaggerated: "Why don't you do this, it's too embarrassing for you to do this, you have been classmates for three years, and now you are at the same table, I will treat you We're friends, if you don't eat...huh"

Throw it to a broken-hearted little look, and let him figure it out.

Zhang Xuepeng was overwhelmed by this small look, took the pastry on the table and stuffed it into his drawer, and said, "Are you satisfied?"

Mu Ci smiled complacently, and deliberately raised his chin and replied, "Let's be so-so."

Seeing that Zhang Xuepeng went back to reading helplessly, she added: "Book bag, remember to eat at night."

Zhang Xuepeng gave her a blank look, but said nothing.

When school was about to end on Friday afternoon, teacher Xiong, the head teacher, entered the classroom and slowed down everyone's preparations to go home.

Teacher Xiong patted the desk, "Listen to me for a few minutes."

After the students sat quietly in their seats, Teacher Xiong continued: "Next week, the school will film the variety show "Let's Go to School". Require."

"First, you can't chase after stars. Second, pay attention to your appearance and demeanor, and wear your school uniform next week..."

Mu Ci listened carefully, Teacher Xiong said a lot, probably only the second one has something to do with her.

It hasn't been long since school started now, and not many people wear school uniforms, so she didn't wear them either, but the school uniforms have been washed and stored in the dormitory.

After Teacher Xiong left, the classroom exploded. Mu Ci was not interested, so he took his schoolbag and prepared to go home.

When she got home, she saw her mother was there, and her mother was sitting silently on the sofa in a daze, her face expressionless.

Mu Ci hurriedly put down his schoolbag, walked up to his mother, and asked worriedly, "Mom, what's the matter? What are you thinking about sitting here alone?"

Usually at this point her mother will be in the store, not at home.

Huang Fenghua knew that her daughter was back, but she was very confused now, so she said perfunctorily, "It's okay."

She glanced at the wall clock, unknowingly sat at home all afternoon, it was time to cook, so she got up and went to the kitchen.

Mu Ci could tell at a glance that her mother was worried and serious, but even if her mother didn't say anything, she was helpless. At this moment, she thought of her father, so she asked, "Mom, what about Dad?"

Huang Fenghua paused while washing the rice, and asked her daughter uncertainly after a few seconds: "Xiaoci, if I divorce your father, will you blame your mother?"

divorce?Mu Ci really didn't expect her mother to ask her such a question. In her previous life, her parents never divorced. Could it be that her behavior in this life changed the trajectory of her parents?

Her mood is very complicated. She understands her mother, who has always tolerated her mother-in-law who is critical of her, and her husband is not up to date. The reason why she didn't get a divorce must be for a pair of children.

Mu Ci stepped forward to hug his mother, and said softly: "Mom, you can decide this matter yourself, I will support you unconditionally."

Huang Fenghua was so touched that his eyes turned red, he stroked his daughter's long hair and said, "Xiao Ci, you are sensible."

Mu Ci pretended not to obey and said, "Mom, I've grown up a long time ago, don't treat me like a child."

Huang Fenghua nodded: "Enen, well, you are an adult now." After speaking, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Mu Ci remembered that he hadn't asked his mother why he wanted a divorce, so he let go of his mother and said, "Mom, did Dad do something again?"

Huang Fenghua sighed, thinking that her daughter should know the reason for her divorce from Mu Qicheng: "Your second uncle is already planning to open a branch, and your father not only did not object, but also introduced your second uncle's branch to customers when the business was busy. This person is too affectionate, Mom doesn't want the life she finally got to be ruined by your dad's soft heart."

"And your grandma. During the Spring Festival, your father secretly gave 1 yuan to your grandma. He thought I didn't know, but I knew it very well."

"I didn't tell your mother about the repayment of our family's mortgage back then. Your father can still move money to your grandma's house when he is in debt. What if he doesn't owe debts?"

"Mom is so disappointed in your father. As long as I meet people from your grandma's side, your mother and I feel powerless. Before, my mother endured it because she was afraid that my mother would not be able to provide you and your brother with a basic life. , but now mom is relieved and doesn't want to endure it anymore."

"Mom, I hope you can understand Xiao Ci. This life is inseparable from firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Poor and lowly couples are sad about everything. After all, this old saying is still reasonable. Mom will never tolerate it now. Because of your father, you will go back to the old days when you had no money. .”

Mu Ci nodded, "Mom, I know, don't worry, I won't blame you."
