Liao Qiuli saw that he was standing stupidly at the door of the main hall and didn't come in, so he greeted him and asked him, which was also an old sentence: "Can you eat it?" Didn't eat anything to cook for you? ”。 The two have known each other for fifteen years and summers, and most of the time Liao Qiuli is worried about whether he eats or not, and he can't help the rest, so he can still think of some ways to "eat". And in his opinion, a lot of sorrow is not good to eat, and when you are full and well-eaten, your mood will improve, and there will naturally be more ways, and you can always think of a good way no matter what.

"No, I want to eat wonton." Xiao Yu didn't like this kind of stuff with a bag of floating skin wrapped in a lump of minced meat, but this thing is time-consuming and laborious to make, and it can be cooperated by two people, one person chops stuffing and one person makes noodles, and you can also talk about something else, it's late, maybe he is willing to stay?

Liao Qiuli listened, turned around and walked towards the stove room, "Fortunately, I brought some fresh meat, should I add shiitake mushrooms to the filling?" ”

"Yes. Put shrimp too. ”

"Got it! I have to put more spicy peppers! ”

Xiao Yu wanted to help with the noodles, but Liao Qiu refused to let him go, and took him to chop the stuffing. The stuffing is chopped, and the noodles are almost the same, let it wake up for a while, heat the pot first, put half a pot of water down, and wait for the water to boil, Liao Qiuli spoke: My father asked you to go to the house tomorrow, and I want to say a few words to you. In fact, Liao Shixiang is not easy to open this mouth, if it is only about identity, they are a ninth-rate carpenter family to talk to the general king, no matter how you say it, it is not easy to say, but it is not good if you don't say it, the son is raised by himself, even if the identity of the father is cold, he has to muster up the courage to face all the things that are difficult to face, and he can't hide.

"What?" Xiao Yu originally put the knife down, but when he heard this, he involuntarily picked it up again, silently chopping the ball of stuffing in front of him, thinking that it was to calm the chaotic mood. What good words can the father-in-law have about this indiscriminate "son-in-law", either he will say cruel words, or find him desperately, or kneel and beg, begging him to let go of his son and stop being entangled in such a sinful way.

"He didn't say anything, are you free tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll go."

Liao Qiuli didn't expect him to agree, and when he heard the third brother say that there were a lot of things in the court recently, he thought that he wouldn't be able to get over the time, but he agreed.

After saying these few words, the two were silent again, and this time it was Xiao Yu who spoke first.

“…… I remember eating a bowl of wonton when I first joined the army, and the reason why I remember it is because that bowl of wonton was the first hot meal I had in two days. It seems that the march passed through a small town, and on the night of the New Year's Eve, the people were reunited at home, and the streets were empty, and it took a long time to meet a roadside vendor selling wontons, and they were about to close the stalls, so they agreed to make a few bowls for a few of us...... The soup is an ordinary pork skull boiled out of the soup, and the wonton filling is not a special filling, just a little shrimp skin and a little diced carrot with fat and thin, just out of the pot, hot, smelling and eating. In hindsight, it's actually nothing special, but somehow, I just remember it all the time, and I remember it until I die. ”

Liao Qiu is separated from Xiao Yu, and it is estimated that it is similar to the bowl of wontons in the winter night, with an ordinary family background and ordinary appearance, it seems that everything is ordinary, but it warms his heart, so he has been hanging it until he dies, and he can't forget it.

"Well, that's what it means, one year I went to Gaochun in the south, and stopped there for a few days to look at the wall paintings, where the fishermen were hospitable, and left me to eat a meal of seafood, among which there was a taste of roasted squid, which was freshly roasted with small squid, which looked black and inconspicuous, and it was really delicious to eat! The small squid actually hides fish eggs inside, and it is so thin that it bursts between the molars when you chew it, and the squid meat is very chewy, and I have never eaten such a delicious squid so far......"

"Do you want to go? One day when I have leisure, I will take you to the beach to eat. Xiao Yu stared at him with a smile on his face, which meant that in the future, one day after a long time, the two of them went to the beach together to watch the tide rise and fall, and see the vicissitudes of the sea.

“…… Let's talk about it. "Liao Qiuli just didn't pick him up, if he didn't plan to go out and follow this person, then it was best not to leave him a tail that was going to be broken from the beginning, so that he would miss it empty.

The water was also boiling while talking, Liao Qiuli rolled out the good dough, picked the filling, wrapped the rounds, put it in the pot, and acted neatly, it seems that on weekdays, he is either pondering and painting or pondering and eating, cooking and cooking are extremely skillful, and making dumplings and dumplings is also quite good, three times five divided by two, and a bowl of wonton is done. As usual, he didn't eat it, watching Xiao Yu eat, and after eating and cleaning up, he had to rush back to Liao's Taikou.

“…… Tonight...... Do you want to stay? You see...... It's also very cold, running back and forth for fear of not freezing sickness, you sleep in the inner room, and I sleep in the study. ”

There is only one table and a chair in the study, no bed, and sleep in the study? Are you going to spend the night there?

"No need, no one can sleep well like this, it's better for me to go back."

He slept in the inner room, and squeezed this person to the study to sleep for a night, how could he sleep peacefully?

But he didn't stay, and he couldn't sleep well anyway.

“…… Really want to go? Then I'll send you. ”

Xiao Yu stopped eating half of it, put down the bowl, and made a gesture to get up to send him - I can't keep you anyway, it's good to leave early, so I don't have to keep dangling in front of him, I feel uneasy when I see it, and I always have a bad idea.

"Finish eating! After working for most of the day, you made a bowl of wonton and you put it down after eating half of it, I really don't know how distressed the food is! My father and mother said to a few of our brothers and sisters when they were young, 'a porridge and a meal are hard to come by, and a needle and a thread are difficult to think about', each person has half a steamed bun in his hand at every meal, and after eating the meal, he scrapes the rice grains and vegetable juice in the bowl with this steamed bun and eats it, which is what counts! I'm serious here, if you really dare not do it for you next time! That's it, you eat yours, I'll go back to mine, tomorrow morning you see when you're free, come over. ”

If General Xiao is really "married", eight times out of ten he is also afraid of his mother-in-law, although he is arbitrary in big ideas, but in general, on ordinary occasions, he is willing to let him make decisions for him.

The people didn't stay, but they could meet the next day, and it wasn't very condescending. Send someone to the door, I can't say a thousand words, but the two words "good to go", the one who wants to go back let him go back to the house to stay, there is no need to stand stupidly at the door, he just doesn't listen, he must wait for the people to go before he is willing to turn around and close the door. closed the door, and went into the stove room to sit, reminiscing about the bits and pieces of the two of them together, looking forward to coming early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, General Xiao went to the street to buy all the things, and picked the top ones among the dozen or so carts of things that Lu Hongjing prepared for him, stuffed two carts and sent them to Liaojiataikou first, and he himself did not go by until the end of the hour.

This time the situation is not ordinary, Liao Shixiang led more than a dozen members of the Liao family to stand at the door to greet him, and even the daughter who married outside made a special trip to call back, it is really hard to say whether it is "look at the son-in-law" or "Hongmen banquet". As soon as Xiao Yu arrived at the door, before he got off the horse, the Liao family was led by Liao Shixiang to bow down, and shouted: "Welcome to King Su's thousand-year!" ”。 The etiquette is comprehensive, but it doesn't look like a welcome, but it looks like getting off the horse. If the Liao family is willing to recognize him as a "son-in-law", they really can't treat him with this kind of courtesy, just like treating people as guests, polite and unfamiliar, rejecting politeness and alienation from thousands of miles away, probably reminding him that the Liao family suffered a dumb loss, but they didn't plan to eat the dumb loss to the end. The ordinary people are not as powerful as your clan, so we can't help you, then we don't treat you as our own people, you can't help us at this point, and if you marry you, you will marry by force, but the Liao family has no intention of climbing your family at all!

Xiao Yu helped Liao Shixiang up, and his eyes swept around—there was no Liao Qiuli among the kneeling people behind him. It seems that he is getting off the horse, first taking away the party or deliberately suing him for the wrong time, keeping him out of the house, and letting his parents, brothers and sisters stand up for him and ask for a free body for him.

Liao Shixiang put His Royal Highness King Su to the top, and he took his family to sit at the bottom, serving tea, drinking tea, the whole main hall was silent, and there was no equal match, on the surface, Xiao Yu was a general under one person and above 10,000 people, life and death were taken away, and the power was in his hands, and the people could only let him handle it, but in fact it was not the case, even if Xiao Yu could kill and kill in power, and he could be ten on the battlefield, or even one against a hundred, but the family affection in his bones has never been thin, and the cold is innate, If it weren't for Liao Qiuli, he still didn't know that the care in the world could be as small as a person's words, a look, and a move, insignificant, but it was full of the smell of fireworks in the world, and with this person, he knew that he was really living in this world.

These people are Liao Qiuli's dearest relatives, they have given others the love and warmth, given him an open-minded mind to respect himself and others, and given him the backing that is the most difficult to bend in the world's overturning and human warmth, with these people, there will be today's Liao Qiuli, so, in the face of these people, he Xiao Yu has to be calm and tolerant, no matter what they say or do, they can't talk about it, there is only one, don't leave Liao Qiuli from him, the rest, he can bear it.

Liao Shixiang pondered for a long time before he opened his mouth to talk about this matter, there were many difficulties, he stopped several times, couldn't find the words to continue, embarrassed, the third child of the Liao family saw that his father was embarrassed, so he wanted to turn the conversation around and then make it clear, Liao Shixiang waved his hand at him, let him be silent, and the words had to be said by him, the patriarch. finally came to the most difficult part - marriage should be made of you and me, otherwise you will be tied together for a lifetime, and you will eventually become a resentful couple, why bother?
