In Mazui Village, the Lu family was originally an outsider, and there was no relative within a hundred miles, and the closest ones were Xiao Nizi and Da Heitou, two neighbors, so naturally there was never such a thing as New Year's greetings. Lu Shanmin didn't think about this problem at all, but Zuoqiu said that the city is different from the mountains, and the people in the mountains live closely, but even if they don't make friends for a lifetime, it won't have much impact. Although the people in the city live far away, it will be difficult to move an inch if they lose their manners.

Hu Weiyong's home is not as big and luxurious as Lu Shanmin imagined, an ordinary three-bedroom apartment, simple and elegant decoration, looking at the color of the floor tiles, it is estimated that it has been some years.

Hu Weiyong's wife is not wearing gold and silver as she imagined. No fat powder, plain dress, is an ordinary middle-aged woman. But it's very welcoming, just like the aunt in the mountains. Seeing Lu Shanmin coming, he hurriedly took the slippers with a smile on his face, and while taking the things in Lu Shanmin's hand, he said with a smile, "Just come here, just take something." Her smile was sincere, not like a polite kind word.

Hu Weiyong walked out of the kitchen, with an apron tied around his waist and a handful of green onions in his hand, which Lu Shanmin didn't recognize at all.

may be because of his son's awakening, Hu Weiyong's spirit is much better, and his face has returned to its former brilliance, but his gray hair has not become back.

"The mountain people are here, sit down for a while, and I'll make you a few of my specialty dishes later."

Lu Shanmin smiled and nodded, "Mr. Hu, I'm sorry for you."

Hu Weiyong's wife glared at Hu Weiyong, and said to Lu Shanmin with a smile: "What Mr. Hu, just call Uncle at home."

Hu Weiyong hurriedly echoed, "Yes, it's only kind to call uncle."

Hu Weiyong's wife waved her hand to Hu Weiyong, "Go quickly, the water in the pot is boiling."

"Ouch, I almost forgot", Hu Weiyong quickly turned around and ran into the kitchen.

Lu Shanmin looked at all this in a daze, a little unrelieved, majestic outside, brilliant in wisdom, a ruthless man who could drive Wang Dahu to death, turned out to be a kind family cook at home.

Hu Weiyong's wife put the washed and cut fruit on the coffee table,

"You're welcome, mountain people."

"Thank you, Auntie".

Hu Weiyong's wife smiled kindly, "You're welcome, I heard Lao and Hu often mention you and say that you are a very good young man." Then a touch of sadness flashed on his face, "If Xiao Ming had half of your sensibility, it wouldn't be like this."

Lu Shanmin said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't worry, Xiao Ming is still young, I was still a mountain villager at his age who only knew how to chase wild roe deer."

Hu Weiyong's wife sighed, her face was full of iron-clad sadness, "I'm still young, I'm almost twenty years old, I'm one year younger than you, I don't read well, and I know how to go out and fool around with people in society all day long." ”

Then he said to Lu Shanmin with a pleading face: "He has just been discharged from the hospital, the doctor said that he can't blow the wind yet, so he didn't let him come out in the bedroom, and after he recovers, I will ask him to be closer to you, and help my aunt educate him well when the time comes."

Lu Shanmin has no father or mother since he was a child, and he doesn't know what father's love is, let alone what mother's love is. Hu Weiyong's wife's seemingly simple words touched his blank heart. If my mother is still here, it should be such a gentle look.

Lu Shanmin smiled movingly, "If my uncle and aunt can trust me, I can have more contact with Xiao Ming and learn from each other at that time."

Hu Weiyong's wife patted Lu Shanmin's shoulder with a smile on her face, "What a sensible child, you still know modesty."

Looking at the dishes on the table, Lu Shanmin was shocked again, although he hadn't eaten yet, just by looking at the appearance and smell, he knew that he would never lose to the chef in the restaurant. It is completely unimaginable that Hu Weiyong, who claims to be a scholar and is ruthless and ruthless in the shopping mall, can have such cooking skills.

Hu Weiyong's wife brought Hu Ming's meal into the bedroom, and the three of them gathered around a simple dining table.

"Mountain people, eat quickly, you're welcome." Hu Weiyong's wife said with a smile.

Hu Weiyong poured two glasses of wine and said with a smile: "I can't think of it, in fact, I am a good family man."

Lu Shanmin really couldn't imagine it, "Mr. Hu really opened my eyes."

Without waiting for Hu Weiyong's wife to speak, Hu Weiyong hurriedly waved his hand, "Uncle Hu."

Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly, he was used to Mr. Hu, and the three words of Uncle Hu were really a little unspeakable.

"Hu, uncle, uncle".

"Eh, that's right, man, no matter how big an official or a decent wealthy businessman is outside, when he comes home, he is the role of husband and father."

Lu Shanmin nodded in agreement, "Uncle Hu is right."

Hu Weiyong's wife smiled proudly, "This is not what he said, the original is me."

Hu Weiyong smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, this sentence is your aunt's original, and she has nagged in front of me a lot over the years."

Hu Weiyong's wife glared at Hu Weiyong, "You have to thank me, otherwise you look at the fate of Gao Junfeng and Li Chuan, and you will be reduced to like a beggar."

Hu Weiyong nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, it's all my wife who is well educated."

Watching the flirting and scolding of the couple, who were already old husbands and wives, Lu Shanmin grinned and smirked.

"Come, let me introduce you to my masterpiece first", Hu Weiyong proudly raised his chopsticks and pointed to a table of dishes.

Hu Weiyong's wife glanced at Hu Weiyong with a smile, "I love it."

Hu Weiyong pointed to the dishes on the table, "This is the buckle three wires, it is the best in the East China Sea cuisine, don't look at it inconspicuous, no few years of effort, but it can't be made, first of all, the knife work must be good, the slice can not exceed three millimeters, the façade can not exceed two millimeters, the selection of materials is even more elegant, the pork should sit on the buttocks, the chicken can only be the chicken breast, the bamboo shoots can only be winter bamboo shoots, and to be shelled, until there is no shell to go, leaving the most tender bamboo shoots." It is best to use Jinhua ham for ham. Saying that, he gave Lu Shanmin a pair of chopsticks, "Taste it"?

Lu Shanmin put it in his mouth and tasted it for a while, "salty, fresh and pleasant, fragrant and beautiful".

"Hahahaha", Hu Weiyong laughed rarely, "insightful".

As he spoke, he was going to introduce other dishes to Lu Shanmin. Hu Weiyong's wife hurriedly interrupted, "Just let me eat for a while, and let people not eat."

Every time he came into contact with Hu Weiyong before, Lu Shanmin tensed his nerves, because every word he said might have something to say, and every subtle expression might imply a deeper meaning. But today, Hu Weiyong and his wife are so natural and easy-going, and the atmosphere is so harmonious, this meal makes him eat extraordinarily relaxed. I had thought about different situations before I came, but I never imagined that it would be such an easy meal.

I have to say that Hu Weiyong's craftsmanship is very good, except for the steak that I went to eat in a Western restaurant with Zeng Yaqian last time, the dishes cooked by Hu Weiyong are the best dishes that Lu Shanmin has ever eaten in his life.

Full of wine and food, Hu Weiyong's wife began to clean up a table of dishes and chopsticks, Lu Shanmin wanted to help, Hu Weiyong said with a smile: "I will cooperate with your aunt, don't rob her of her work."

Hu Weiyong's wife also smiled and said, "You two go to the study to talk, and I'll leave it here."

Hu Weiyong's study is not big, but one wall is full of bookshelves, and the shelves are full of neat books, although there are not as many as the old professor's house, but it looks very shocking. His collection of books is not the same as that of the old professor, who has books on astronomy, geography, social sciences, literature and history, and most of them are old. Hu Weiyong's collection is more about history and geography and some recent bestsellers.

On Hu Weiyong's desk is a copy of "The Weakness of Human Nature" and a copy of "The Advantages of Human Nature".

Seeing Lu Shanmin looking at these two books, he asked, "Do you want to read them?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't understand such a profound book, and I still have some books in my hand that I haven't finished."

Hu Weiyong picked up two books and smiled helplessly, "Actually, I'm just a high school graduate, but I love reading, or I admire the demeanor of readers, so I began to walk on the road of reading, and I have gradually regarded myself as a reader over the years."

As he spoke, he patted the two books on his hands, "Not long ago, a distant relative came to visit the house, he is a professor, I brought him into this study, guess what he said"?

Lu Shanmin shook his head.

Hu Weiyong smiled bitterly, "He pointed to the two books in my hand at that time and said that real readers would not read such books at all."

Lu Shanmin frowned, and looked at Hu Weiyong in surprise, "There is still this statement"?

Hu Weiyong casually threw the two books into the trash.

Lu Shanmin looked at Hu Weiyong puzzled, "Why is this?"

Hu Weiyong smiled, "I want to be a scholar for a lifetime, but in the end it's just a joke, it's like Wang Dahu sharpening his head and wanting to become a Donghai person is a joke, I don't know what a scholar is, just like Wang Dahu doesn't know what a Donghai person is."

Lu Shanmin looked at Hu Weiyong blankly, but his words made him resonate, in fact, he didn't know what a scholar was and what a Donghai person was. But the difference is that he didn't bother to think about it at all, just did what he needed to do step by step.

"Mountain people, I grew up in the East China Sea since I was a child, and although I am still far away from those real upper-class people, I have seen a lot of three religions and nine streams, especially outsiders like you. You don't think that there are fewer people like Wang Dahu, in fact, there are more people, but he is bolder, they are inferior and arrogant at the same time, they are not convinced, they feel that the society is unfair to them, and they are even unscrupulous in their hearts and minds, but most people end up miserable. On the contrary, it is an outsider like you, I have hardly seen you, you are different from others. I'm really curious where you'll go in the future."

'You are different from others', Lu Shanmin has heard many people say this sentence, and now there is another Hu Weiyong. However, Lu Shanmin still didn't find that he was any different from others.
