Chen Anxiu received a call from Jiang Xuan, saying that he was going to bring a group of colleagues to come over for dinner on the weekend, there were about a dozen people, when Sun Xiao went out to buy vegetables, Chen Anxiu asked him to buy more and come back, every weekend, business is always very good, if you sell it now, the supermarket can't supply it.

"Is there enough pork?" Grandpa Jiang San asked.

"On the pork side, I have already called the Wu family pig farm in the morning, and it is estimated that it will be delivered before dinner today. I ordered two deboning ones, and one didn't deboned one, which should be enough. ”

"Yes, that's good." Grandpa Jiang San nodded with satisfaction, Zhuang Zhuang is obviously interested in it now, and he has thought about everything much more thoroughly.

The heat in the steamer was already very strong, Chen Anxiu looked at the time, stopped the fire, simmered for about twenty minutes, boiled the pot, today he tried a new dish, on the cage drawer are snow-white rice balls, which look very ordinary, but there is a lot of things inside.

Chen Anxiu put on his gloves and took the rice balls out of the pot while sighing, "Third grandfather, you taste the taste first." He put one of them on a plate and handed it over.

Grandpa Jiang San □ a chopstick, and there was a thick sauce flowing out of it, which tasted a little hot, but after two bites, the whole shrimp wrapped in the outer layer of rice were revealed, and he ate it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and then said, "It's really good, it has the fragrance of rice, the shrimp are also very tender, and the sauce is also delicious." ”

When Chen Anxiu heard him say this, he was relieved, "There are also vegetarian mushrooms, fungus eggs, minced pork, beef, third grandfather, do you want to try the others?" ”

"I'm old and my appetite is gone, this one is almost the same, let's try the others slowly later."

Sun Xiao and Zhang Yan both had a dog nose, and they were originally chatting outside, but they came in after smelling the fragrance.

"Don't forget to bring a piece of water to Sister Wu." Wu Yan is the daughter-in-law of Sun Daji, she has been working here for several days, she looks at people very dutifully, and she is also quick to work, it is that body, Chen Anxiu really looks a little uneasy, people are so thin, don't get tired one day.

"Okay, I can't forget it. But I don't think she'll eat it, so I'll keep it and take it home with him. Sun Xiao said know-it-all.

"Then get her two more." The kid came here a lot after school, and he was two years older than Tonton. Give him something to eat, and he will be happy. There were a lot of people, and they also helped to take the initiative to close the house, "Third grandfather, I'll pick up tons of tons from school, and go home by the way, and come over at about four o'clock." ”

"Well, you can go."

Chen Anxiu found two crisper boxes in the store, filled some rice balls, the primary school of Chenjia Village is at the entrance of the village, the front and back four rows of red brick houses, occupy a large piece of land, he also went to primary school here, the door is painted green iron fence gate, facing the door is a red brick road, on both sides are decades of big poplar trees, when he went to school, it was already very stout, more than 20 years have passed, these poplars have grown better. I heard that a few years ago, the district asked to build a teaching building to save land, but the Taoist priest in the nearby Taihe Palace said that it was bad feng shui, and the people in the village did not agree, and said that it was good for children to live in bungalows, and they didn't have to climb the stairs to knock on.

On the third tree on the left is still the rusty iron bell, which used to be the old man at the school who struck the bell when they went to and from class, and then changed the electric bell.

"Tons and tons, this way." The children always run the fastest when they get out of school, so many people pour out of the classroom at once, Chen Anxiu still grabbed tons at a glance, it seems that his son is the best-looking, basically every stupid father has such a mentality, and there is a father next to him who is feeling, "This big grass insect-like school uniform looks good on my son." ”

Chen Anxiu glanced at the chubby child whose eyes and nose couldn't be distinguished, and swallowed his saliva silently.

"Daddy." Tons of running over with a small schoolbag, he is now a little used to his father appearing from time to time, but he is still very happy to see it every time.

"I brought you rice balls, it's still hot, go home and eat it."

They are all from the same village, and they inevitably have to say hello when they meet, and when they see them holding hands and leaving, someone muttered in a low voice, "Look at their father and son, the relationship is really good now, but this Chen Anxiu is young, he is not looking for a partner, and he is not married, so he can't live with his son for the rest of his life, right?" His mother hadn't been here for so many years, and it was definitely not possible to rebuild the old one. ”

"Who knows this, I heard that the sixth aunt in the east of the village went to his house a few days ago and wanted to tell this Chen Anxiu about his family, but his mother said that he is not in a hurry now, and he will talk about it after a while, this Chen Anxiu said that it is not big, and it is not small when he says that it is not small, why does his family say that he is not in a hurry? I really don't understand what their family is thinking? ”

"yes, I don't understand......"

Chen Anxiu sent tons of tons home, chatted with his father at home, and when he returned to the store, the pork had been delivered, and the piece that was not deboned was also chopped into a big square with a bowl according to what he said, he kneaded the meat with green onion ginger, peppercorns, ingredients, salt, and a little sugar, put it in a small clay pot in the shade, pour a little liquor into it before sealing, marinate it overnight, and it can be used on weekends.

"Zhuangzhuang, your friend is here again." I have seen Zhang Shinian a few times, and Grandpa Jiang San already knows him.

Chen Anxiu washed the handle and ran out of the kitchen, sure enough, it was Zhang Shinian, "Why did you come here at this time?" "I used to come here for dinner, but rarely before dinner.

"It's the weekend tomorrow, and I want to have a meal with you today." The two of them were busy this week, and they didn't see each other much.

It's a reasonable request, and it's hard to refuse, but, "I'm not done here." ”

"I miss you so much, how about a day off for me?" When Zhang Shinian said this, he still maintained an elegant and decent light smile, and people who were far away would never have thought that he was saying such something similar to flirtatiousness.

Chen Anxiu tried hard to keep himself from collapsing on the spot, and scolded in his heart, this man is really ...... I couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, my hands were itchy, and I wanted to give him two punches, "Mr. Zhang, steady, steady." "People who have never been stable still dare to teach others to be stable.

"How?" Zhang Shi asked again in a young voice, and An Xiu seemed to be hot and about to smoke.

"Not very good. This advice sucks. ”

"And where are we going to eat?"

“…… I'll go take a shower first...... "The so-called spineless, probably refers to such a person."

Chen Anxiu went back to the store to say hello to Grandpa Jiang San, there were relatively few people at night, and Zhang Yan was busy alone, so he didn't have to stay here.

"If I don't come back, you lock the door at night." Chen Anxiu has always been fast in bathing, and he came out quickly.

"Who are you talking to?"

"Borrow two out-of-town beekeepers who live at home." There are a lot of beekeepers in the mountains every year, come in late spring, and wait until the vitex flowers bloom before leaving, there is no place to live, before building a shack on the mountain, Chen's father likes to be nosy, since last year, he has let them live in a room in the yard, and recently his family is about to sell honey.

"Take this back and drink it with water, it can relieve hangover." Chen Anxiu was also holding a bottle in his hand, and the golden honey in it was so thick that it was about to solidify.

"Why did you remember to give me honey?"

"My dad bought a lot of them, and it was a waste to put them away." Someone clearly misspoken.

Zhang Shinian smiled, did not poke him, and twisted the key to start the car.

They didn't want to go to any hotel, so they chose a Cantonese restaurant on the side of the road, ordered a few light dishes, the Cantonese restaurant is not far from the Spring Department Store, and the all-glass façade of the twin buildings is very conspicuous even at night.

"After eating, let's go there."

"Where are you going to buy something?" It hurts so much, and the stuff there is really expensive.

Zhang Shinian glanced at him and said, "Go and see." "An Xiu doesn't seem to have many clothes, and he saw this one last year.

"You can go if you want." He wouldn't have bought anything there anyway.

The hall is brightly lit, and after working in this kind of place for a long time, the eyes of the shopping guide are very poisonous, as soon as these two people enter the door, they are very attentive to Zhang Shinian, as for Chen Anxiu, it is obviously the feeling of taking care of the collateral. Chen Anxiu didn't mind, he followed Zhang Shinian calmly, and his eyes occasionally swept over the clothes he knew the brand, but the brand didn't know him.

"How's this one?" Zhang Shinian gave him a narrow black suit.

If you don't look at the price, Chen Anxiu must be willing to praise it fiercely, the version is good, of course the workmanship is also very meticulous, the logo is known to the people of the whole world, but there is a price there, everything is not to be discussed, "It's okay." ”

"Go in and try it?" Chapter Shi Nian stuffed him.

"For me?"

The shopping guide's gaze at Chen Anxiu became a little strange.

"Let's try it." Zhang Shinian urged him.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to try, Chen Anxiu generously took the clothes into the fitting room, and during this period, Zhang Shinian helped him pick out two more shirts, and he also chose one himself.

"Sure enough." The little guy is originally a thin oriental body type, and he looks especially good in this narrow suit, with long legs and a thin waist.

"How do you know my size?" Chen Anxiu asked in a low voice, before he went in, he still thought that the size was not necessarily suitable, and he just made an excuse and said that he didn't want to try on the others, so he didn't want it, but he didn't expect it to fit like this.

Zhang Shiqing smiled silently, he hugged it so many times, but he didn't make the last step, where is the size of this person he is not familiar with?

Under his somewhat ambiguous gaze, Chen Anxiu obviously thought of several times to brush the gun, facing each other naked, grinding his teeth, "I'll go change it first, you go try yours." ”

When Zhang Shinian was trying on clothes, Chen Anxiu asked through the door, "Is it okay?" ”

"Yes."

I really want to buy it, it's really a loser, Chen Anxiu took out his credit card, handed it to the shopping guide and said, "Then we only need the one inside." "His money, but men don't seem to be so stingy, Zhang Shinian invited him to dinner, and he should send a piece of clothing. Even during the relationship, there is no reason why one party must pay for it.

When Zhang Shinian came out, the bill had already been settled, and he took the bag handed over by the shopping guide, which was unprecedented, and it was obvious that it was flustered.

Chen Anxiu was afraid that he still wanted to buy the clothes just now, so he hurriedly pulled people out, he was at home every day, and there was no important occasion to go, so he didn't have to wear so good.

Miss Shopping Guide's gaze has changed from vaguely strange to naked and naked, and the relationship is reversed? This person who is dressed very ordinarily is the gold owner?

From the moment he went out and got into the car, Zhang Shinian was laughing, Chen Anxiu began to suspect that this person was crazy, is this person who is lying on the steering wheel and laughing non-stop really the Zhang Shinian who has always been elegant in the past?

Chen Anxiu touched his forehead and said with a serious suggestion, "Why don't we go to the hospital first?" "The Green Island City Psychiatric Hospital is not far from here.

Zhang Shinian grabbed his wrist, dragged the person under him, intertwined his arms, leaned on his lips and tongue, and the scorching temperature quickly swept the two of them.

"Anxiu, Anxiu......" Zhang Shinian's voice was low, and he felt that he wanted to seduce people to commit crimes.

"What about the soul......" Chen Anxiu's chest rose and fell, panting unevenly, and he didn't forget to retort a few words, but in the dark eyes of the last chapter when he was desperate to plunder, he shrunk his shoulders and said, "You let me think again, think again." ”

"Okay, I'll give you time." This person is worth the wait, "And how long are you going to think about it?" "The person I like is around, and it hurts to endure it all the time without touching it.

"A year?"

Zhang Shinian smiled.

"Half a year?"

Zhang Shinian's smile became more and more gentle.

"And how long do you say?" Half a year is enough less.

"Three months."

Chen Anxiu screamed, "Three months? "That's a little too little," you say, "a month is fine." ”

Zhang Shinian lowered his head and kissed the corner of his lips and said, "There are still three months of summer vacation, and I will take you to Beijing when the time comes." ”

When he went to Beijing, Chen Anxiu certainly understood what this meant, but it was precisely because he understood that he was afraid, did he and Zhang Shinian develop too fast, and could they already reach this level? Zhang Shinian still doesn't know that Lu Dao can have children, he doesn't know that Lu Dao has another father, and the family still doesn't agree, can they really be together smoothly?

"Why are your hands so cold?"

"Maybe you came out and wore less."

Zhang Shinian took off his coat, put it on him, and said, "Wait for me later, I'll go down and buy you a cup of hot coffee." ”

After Zhang Shinian left, Chen Anxiu stayed alone in the car, feeling a little breathless, so he came down for a walk, this is an open-air parking lot, two steps to the side of the road, there are many long chairs, he sat there for a long time, Zhang Shinian came back with two cups of takeaway coffee.

Zhang Shinian sat down beside him and handed him a cup first, "Warm your hands first." "It's May, and it's still pretty cool at night.

Chen Anxiu waved his hand and said, "It's not so delicate, it's not cold when you get used to it." But he took the coffee anyway.

"Tianyu, you see that is the eldest brother, right?" Wen Kai and they made an appointment with a group of friends to drink in a bar today, and met a few scoundrels who were drunk, Tianyu almost got into a fight with people, he saw that the situation was not good, and quickly dragged people out.

The two people on the other side of the road stood up and were about to leave, they really couldn't blame Wen Kai's eyes for being too good, if they wanted to blame, they could only blame the two of them for being too tall and looking too much higher than the average level of the public, and they were still walking side by side, the lights on the road were so bright, it was difficult for people not to pay attention.

Chen Tianyu didn't say anything, and when he saw the two of them driving away, he turned around and left.

"Tianyu, you wait for me......" I wonder if the man has a period? Tianyu has been so weird lately.

Chen Anxiu stayed there for one night, and it was really unusual for the two big men to chat purely under a quilt. Because the next day was a weekend, the small restaurant would be very busy, and Zhang Shinian sent people back early.

Breakfast is not provided in the small restaurant, the main thing in the morning is to prepare various ingredients, about a little more than ten o'clock, Chen Anxiu was scrubbing the wine tank, Jiang Xuan took a group of his colleagues, drove five cars over, two of which were police cars, the surrounding shops thought that something had happened to this house, and several people ran over, until it was confirmed that people were here to eat, and then slowly dispersed.

"You're going to make a name for me now." The weather on the mountain was still very warm during the day, and the nearby flowers were also blooming, and these people brought by Jiang Xuan were reluctant to go to the private room, so Chen Anxiu set up two large round tables in the courtyard. Everyone else sat down, and only Jiang Xuan followed him into the kitchen alone.

"That's fine, no one will dare to come to you to make trouble in the future."

"So, I should thank you well?"

"If you have to, it's hard for me to refuse."

"you." In fact, doing business in the town is far more simple than in the city, all the families are close to the village, they all know each other, and no one makes a special trip to look for trouble, but Jiang Xuan is kind, so he understands it.

Jiang Xuan doesn't have many friends, Chen Anxiu is the only one who has been playing since he was a child, and he still cherishes this friendship.

"Now that you're in, let's do me a favor." Chen Anxiu handed over a plate of cucumber strips and a plate of cherry tomatoes to Jiang Xuan, and in his hands he was serving drunken dates and fried peanuts with egg noodles, all of which were small dishes that were cleared before meals.

When Lin Meizi was about to start eating, those young policemen all called her sister-in-law coaxingly, and said that the punishment was too late, and she was going to be punished for drinking a glass of wine with Jiang Xuan.

Chen Anxiu makes yellow stewed meat in a corner of the courtyard, the yellow stewed meat in this small restaurant is not the same as elsewhere, when doing it, do not use a pot, use a one-person high pottery wine tank, spread a layer of chicken bones at the bottom, marinate the large pieces of pork with bones and put it in layer by layer, compact, pour all kinds of seasonings that fry the good Lu, add water, seal the mouth of the wine tank with a big stone, and burn the wine vat with charcoal, so that the meat stewed out, the fragrance is not scattered at all, the bones are crispy and the meat is rotten, and the meat pieces put on the plate are avoided with chopsticks, and the bones and meat are separated. It tastes like a little bit of wine.

"This dish is really amazing, Boss Chen, pack me two pieces when I leave."

"Leave me two pieces too, and go home and give them to my wife and children to taste."

A lot of people shouted. Chen Anxiu took a look, there was still less meat, and it seemed that he would have to add more another day.

"A good place chosen by Team Jiang, next time I have a vacation, I will bring my family over to eat."

Jiang Xuan drank with them and said with a smile, "Then my brother is still counting on you in this restaurant, bring more people over in the future, there are more people, and I will give you discounts." ”

"Do you want my help?" Lin Meizi saw that Chen Anxiu was busy going in and out, and his feet didn't touch the ground, so she wanted to come over and ask.

"It's okay, I'm used to it, you go and eat with them, the food in the yard is cold fast, and it's not delicious when it's cold." Other times, he was mostly responsible for cooking, but today it was a friend brought by Jiang Xuan, so he had to go out to take care of it.

"Are you going to stay in the mountains in the future?" Although it is said that it is good to make money in any industry if you don't steal or rob, Chen Anxiu shouldn't just be like this, he should be very good, but he runs such an inconspicuous restaurant in the town alone.

"It's good to be your own boss than to work for others."

"Jiang Xuan, their public security bureau has been recruiting people recently, you have been in the army for so many years, do you want to try? I'll go to Uncle Jiang to help you talk about it, it's just not in the establishment, but you also know that the extra benefits of their kind of unit are still very good. ”

"No need, Meizi, thank you, in fact, you and Jiang Xuan really don't have to feel that they owe me anything, you see, aren't I having a good time now?"

But ...... "Is it really good to be like this now?"

Jiang Xuan called him outside, "An Xiu, come out and have a drink with everyone, everyone knows each other." ”

"Okay, here." Chen Anxiu agreed, took the freshly cooked dishes, and said, "Let's go, plum, go out and drink." ”

Lin Meizi hesitated for a moment and followed.

Ji Junheng drove the car and walked while looking at the shops on both sides, "Where is the small kitchen of the ton family, the small kitchen of the ton ton family?" When he passed by a building materials store, he saw an uncle standing at the door with a cane, he rolled down the window and asked, "Uncle, do you know where the small kitchen of the ton house is?" ”

The man pointed forward and said, "Turn the corner ahead." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

As soon as the car turned around, I saw the very conspicuous signboard, the red brick house, the fence yard, and there were quite a lot of people eating, Ji Junheng locked the door and got out of the car, and the first thing he saw was Lin Meizi who was facing the door, Chen Anxiu's green plum, he was vaguely still a little impressed, although ten years have passed, people have really changed a lot, "Lin Meizi?" ”

"Are you...... Ji Junheng? "The transfer student who used to walk with An Xiu back then?

"Sure enough, it's you, I haven't seen you for many years."

Jiang Xuan originally turned his back to them, but he also turned around when he heard this name.

"You...... It's also here......" Ji Junheng nodded, the reason why he didn't call out Jiang Xuan's name was because he forgot what this person's name was.

When Lin Meizi shouted out that name, Chen Anxiu's first reaction was, how could it be? It's been ten years, why didn't this person come early or late, but when he decided to be with Zhang Shinian, this person appeared again.

Chen Anxiu turned around without believing in evil, and the slightly familiar face that came into his eyes, God really didn't give him any chance to be lucky.

"Chen Anxiu, you ......" was different from Fang Cai's politeness to Lin Meizi and Jiang Xuan, at this time, Ji Junheng was obviously excited, and he stepped forward and gave Chen Anxiu a big hug warmly. Because I was so happy, I didn't notice the other party's too stiff body.

Chen Anxiu knew that Ji Junheng was easy-going on the surface, but he was very arrogant in his bones, and he would never agree to say some specious polite words at the same table with an unfamiliar person, so he politely refused Jiang Xuan's offer to sit at the same table and opened another table for Ji Junheng in the room.

"Since you're in the country, why don't you contact me? It's a shame that I've been remembering you as a friend for so many years. ”

Contact? How to get in touch? What to say? After that incident, even if he didn't want to blame anyone, could the two really be simple friends again? "I've just returned from the army for less than two years, and I haven't found your contact information."

"Also, I haven't called your home in two years. By the way, you own this restaurant? The meals were really tasty. He scooped a spoonful of nut corn into his mouth, just the right amount of sweetness.

"It's a partnership with someone." He shared the account with Grandpa Jiang San.

"Are you married, then?"

"Daddy." Before Chen Anxiu could answer, tons of tons came in from outside, and he often came here to eat at noon.

Ji Junheng almost choked on a mouthful of food, and hurriedly took a sip of beer, "An Xiu, your son?" So big? "How early do you have to get married to give birth to such a big son? This kid must be seven or eight years old, to say the least.

"Tons and tons, called season...... Uncle. ”

Tons stared at Ji Junheng and shouted, "Uncle Ji." ”

"Tons and tons are good, this time I came in a hurry, next time my uncle will bring you a gift."

Chen Anxiu went to the back kitchen and served tons of food, asked him to eat at the counter, and turned around to continue to catch up with Ji Junheng.

"An Xiu, your son looks very familiar, doesn't he look quite similar to me? It's really fate, what about the child's mother? "But it feels more like his uncle.

"They were separated in the early years." Chen Anxiu smiled bitterly, his biological father and son, can it not be like it? If he is a woman, Ji Junheng should be suspicious at this time, but unfortunately he is a man, if he doesn't say it, Ji Junheng will probably not know the truth for the rest of his life, he is not ready to let Ton Ton and Ji Junheng recognize each other, just because of a child, what is the point of pulling two people who could have been unrelated together?

Ji Junheng saw that Chen Anxiu's face was not very good, thinking that he had touched his sadness, so he comforted people indiscriminately and said, "Why is the eldest husband without a wife, don't worry, you see that I don't have either, my uncle is ten years older than me, I will take you to meet my uncle another day, and your heart will be balanced." ”
