When she took the bacon from under the smoker rack, she accidentally burned her hand, raised her hand to her lips, and blew on it.
I don't know if it's because she's getting older, or because she finally started to live independently, she gradually started cooking, and she fell in love with cooking if she wasn't careful.
She will make delicious back pot meat, home-style tofu, fish-flavored eggplant box, mushu meat, jade shrimp box, Dongpo elbow...... But today, one of the dishes she has done with the most care and effort is smoked bacon.
- Cut the meat into long strips, add light soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, monosodium glutamate and five-spiced star anise, marinate it in the refrigerator for two or three days, and then take out the marinated meat to dry; Find a large iron pot with rice bran mixed with rice grains on the bottom of the pot, set up a smoking rack, and smoke it on low heat for several hours.
The smoke of the bacon came out, curling like the green smoke in front of the Bodhisattva's lotus, and the woman who smoked the meat also half-leaned down, standing quietly in front of the light smoke, frowning slightly, as if praying, as if reminiscing.
In the past year, almost everyone I knew in the past said that she had changed, and a girl who was once in a hurry, laughing and scolding, suddenly became a woman who was as quiet as water.
A "brother" who used to play well laughed and scolded after repeatedly asking her out of the house and being rejected: "What kind of style is smoking?" I don't know who said, 'That page has already been turned,' and how it has been so long that she still looks like a widow who watches the door! β
She punched him viciously in the chest and groaned, "You're a widow!" β
Yes, she doesn't want this ominous word, he is obviously alive, how can she call the watchman widow?
That's right, the page has been turned. But what she didn't say was that her heart was left on that page.
Willing to be imprisoned, air-dried, and turned into a withered fallen leaf, it has been insulated from this world of red flowers and willows.
"Brother" rubbed his chest and floated a ruffian smile: "It's better to ...... Try me? Guaranteed no worse than the one inside......"
She picked up a cushion and beat her head, shouting as she ran:
"I was wrong! I was wrong...... I just wanted to amuse you! β
Panting and sitting beside her, with a straight face, he asked:
"What's the matter, you're still thinking about Lu Wei in your heart?"
She rolled her eyes: "What to say, who wants him to do something?" I'm telling you, don't chew on the root of your tongue, I often visit him, but it's because we used to be classmates...... And the fact that he went in has something to do with me. β
But a voice in my heart said, "Yes, thinking of him...... But what can be done? β
She slowly learned to cook a lot of dishes, and every time she went to see him, she filled him with several boxes of disposable lunches. And bacon is a must to bring every time, because it won't go bad for a month or two, and he can eat it slowly until the next time she comes to see him.
Even when they met, Lu Wei rarely spoke, let alone commented on whether her food was delicious or not. But fortunately, every time she handed over the carefully prepared lunch box, he would say thank you.
Then he lowered his long, black eyelashes, casting a small shadow over her heart.
It's the same this time. She pushed the lunch box to him, opened the door and walked out of the interview room. At the end of the corridor was a clean glass window, and the gray-black clouds filled with rain were piled up in the distance, and there was a faint thunder rolling, and it seemed that a heavy rain was brewing in the sky that was dripping with mud and pouring the whole world.
She walked towards the parking lot without any concern, and along the way, several young newcomers looked up at her, and she didn't stop a step, not even slowing down.
But she heard the footsteps chasing behind her, and someone called her name: "Zhuomei! β
She looked back. It was Zhao Ke, who graduated from the Public Security University where he had interned under his father, and was later transferred to the Bureau of Justice, and then was later promoted here to serve as the deputy prison director.
Zhao Ke caught up with Zhuo Mei and patted her shoulder gently, but he didn't speak for a while. This reassuring gesture, combined with silence, gave Takumi a deep sense of unease.
He ...... What's the trouble? Zhuomei asked tentatively. She is also a girl from a public security family, if she doesn't even have this acumen, then she really doesn't need to be mixed.
And Zhao Ke has always been steady and capable, and even his father praised him for not being reassuring as long as he handles it. Thinking of this, Zhuo Mei's heart suddenly sank, is there any trouble, even Zhao Ke can't handle it......
"Xiaomei," Zhao Ke rubbed his hands, with a look that was not as good as how to speak, "That's the case, Lu Wei told me when he went back just now...... Said a word. β
"Of course I said a word, otherwise I can't scream twice?" Zhuo Mei smiled like a flower and deliberately joked. But slowly removed the smile,
"What did he say?"
He said...... Uh, he said please you later...... Don't come again. β
"Okay."
Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and repeated again:
"Xiaomei, Lu Wei said that you should not come again in the future."
"I hear you." Zhuo Mei turned her head and smiled, and once again she was as delicate as a spring flower,
"I agreed. Not in the future. β
"Uh, you ......" Although Zhao Ke still couldn't believe that he could pass the test so easily, he couldn't say anything more, so he had to gag with a smile on his face:
"Of course, brother, you are still very welcome to come and see me! When will you give my brother and me some of your good dishes? β
Zhuo Mei smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, why are you confused, even if I want to see you, I don't have to come to this kind of place all the time." By the way, this Sunday, you can bring your sister-in-law and little nephew to my father's house to our party, and I will cook a few good dishes for you and your sister-in-law to try. β
"Good, good, it's a deal!"
On the weekend, Zhao Ke's family of three really arrived as scheduled. Sure enough, it was Zhuo Mei who was in charge and made a large table full of dishes. After a full meal, Zhao Ke sat at the table with Director Zhuo to chat, and the director's wife and Mrs. Zhao Ke took the children to the children's playground in the community to play.
Zhuomei was washing the dishes alone in the kitchen, and the sound of the water was rattling, and she couldn't hear anything else.
Director Zhuo chatted casually for a few idle days, and suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"She went to see Lu Wei, although I don't approve of it...... But you suddenly let Lu Wei open her mouth like this, and didn't let her go, I'm afraid...... Instead, it's self-defeating. You also know your little beautiful sister, who has been ...... since she was a child."
Zhao Ke was so anxious that he said straightly: "Uncle Zhuo, I don't dare to persuade you." This time it really has nothing to do with me, Lu Wei said something like that himself......"
Director Zhuo was stunned: "Why is he?" β
Zhao Ke shook his head honestly: "I don't know, really." β
Director Zhuo slowly extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and his posture of hanging his head began to look old.
"Although it was my subordinates who arrested him at the time...... But that's also an order from the superiors! It makes no sense for him to hate me for this, and it's even more inexplicable for him to hate Xiaomei for this! Besides, those of them have already been uprooted in this case, if it weren't for Xiaomei's trust to you, you have been protecting him openly and secretly, just rely on him, how can you stay comfortable inside. β
Director Zhuo snorted angrily, and Zhao Ke hurriedly echoed:
"No, what you say makes sense."
"Xiaomei, that girl, I really don't let me worry! I used to fall in love when I was in middle school, and I scolded her a lot for this, and I even moved my hands...... Girls' families, they don't understand anything and mess around with little boys...... That's okay, it's good now, ignore so many promising young boys, and drill into you all day long......"
"Don't be angry, watch your body," Zhao Ke persuaded with good words: "If you say so, isn't it right now?" Lu Wei didn't agree with her going, and she agreed...... Slowly, the thought faded. β
Director Zhuo shook his head,
"If so, why should I worry? Let's just say before, although I didn't look at it, but as long as my mother and I asked her to go on a blind date, she would go obediently. If you think about it, they are all young people, they can't look at them once or twice, and they can always meet one or two times that they can talk about, right? But just a few days ago, after coming back from you, she suddenly told us: Don't arrange a blind date for her again, and said that she will not marry in this life - she dares! β
Due to excessive anger, Director Zhuo's last sentence was quite loud, and Zhao Ke couldn't help but poke his head in the direction of the kitchen worriedly, but fortunately Zhuo Mei didn't hear anything, and was still bending over to wash the dishes intently.
The water flowed between Zhuomei's fingers, stirring up small splashes on the celadon patterned bowls, and the window of Zhuomei's parents' kitchen was facing a huge banyan tree, filling the window with lush summer.
In the beginning, the young years were as lush as the early summer, when they were all soft, pure, white and flawless.
Initially...... It was she who saw Lu Wei first, the boy who always sat quietly by the window at the back of the classroom. He was very tall, and he had to hunch slightly over the desk and chair in the classroom; He has a pair of big eyes that make him envious as a girl, his eyes are dark and bright, thick eyebrows, the bridge of his nose is straight, and there is a small piece of green stubble above and below his tightly pursed thin lips.
At the "Sleeper Talk" in the dormitory, Han Xiaoling laughed and said that she wanted to "consume men", she just laughed, but she didn't think it was angry. She had long seen that he wasn't a thing in the pool, not the kind of boy who would be "consumed" by others - but if he wanted to, he didn't mind giving everything he had in exchange for him being by his side.
But then Lu Wei married his best friend and best friend Qi Yun, who also grew up together, just as Zhuo Mei racked her brains to think about how to let her favorite boy and the girl with the most temper release her suspicions, one day she suddenly found that the corners of Qi Yun's eyes and eyebrows were full of spring breeze.
She didn't feel uncomfortable in her heart, but she also understood that Qi Yun was not digging into her corner, because what she usually said and did was that she had given up on Lu Wei and changed her ways, and almost once even she almost believed that she didn't care about Lu Wei anymore.
But why is it so uncomfortable in my heart? The whole class went on an outing together, Lu Wei helped her carry the bag by mistake, she walked with him for a short time, she took the opportunity to be coquettish and foolish, and half-truths and half-truths were talking about teasing him. Because she knows, in this life, it may be like this.
Sure enough, later Qi Yun willfully wanted to climb the top of the mountain, and Lu Wei followed, and the two of them were still lost in the mountain, so anxious that the young homeroom teacher was sweating profusely. Later, when Zhuomei mentioned this, she laughed and "praised" them as Romeo and Juliet, who had escaped from the ball and eloped.
Lu Wei and Qi Yun were together, and Zhuo Mei herself and Senior Brother Su Kai, who was in her senior year, got together. One day, a few girls in the dormitory had a dinner, a few glasses of red wine, and everyone coaxed everyone who had a boyfriend to say: what do you like about your boyfriend. Zhuomei, who has always been free and generous, was of course the first to speak, and she said with a big grin: "Su Kai...... Well, I like that he's not only handsome, but also hardworking, self-motivated, very hard-working, and has a kind of indomitable courage......"
"Stop! Stop! Han Xiaoling interrupted her with a big tongue: "Hey, are you talking about Su Kai?" How does it not sound like this! β
The other girls agreed. You must know that Su Kai is known to everyone, he is an optimist with a superior family background and a kind person, which is very different from the one described by Zhuomei.
Zhuomei was stunned, and the smell of wine came up, making her dizzy for a while, and her face was red as if it were burning. She squinted her eyes, swept Qi Yun who was sitting at the corner of the table with a red face and bowed her head with bad intentions, and said, "I'm robbing someone's lines...... Did you hear that? β
The girls strooped the table and laughed, and Qi Yun also burst out laughing. At that time, Qi Yun and Lu Wei were in love with each other, and they didn't mind her teasing. can Zhuo Mei faintly worry about them: with the personalities of these two, Lu Wei is a stuffy gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, not to mention, although Qi Yun is cheerful on the surface, in fact, a girl's heart is stubborn and sensitive, Zhuo Mei is worried that the two of them will come to the end, don't look at the love that once fell to death, but it is still inevitable that Lao Yan will fly apart.
Zhuomei never wanted them to break up, although that boy was also the only person who moved his heart since he was a child. But the person you really love doesn't have to be placed next to your pillow, and Zhuo Mei understands this truth. There are thousands of ways to express love, just look at him from afar and witness his happiness, this one is good.
Later, they broke up. Qi Yun's girl, where did she suffer such grievances, and in a fit of anger, she exiled herself to a poor country where birds don't. Lu Wei stayed in the city, and I heard that he went to a 4S store to sell cars.
Zhuomei has been to that 4S store, and the environment is bright and clean. Lu Wei was also wearing a suit, dressed like a dog, and struggled to sell his mouth. Seeing her come over and greet her warmly, and at the same time familiarly said that when a friend came to patronize, he could give her a ninety-fifty discount. Seeing him work so hard, but no different from himself and any customer who walked into the store, Zhuo Mei felt a pang of sadness and turned away.
Later, she pestered her father to buy herself a car, and asked a safe eldest brother in her father's bureau to wear casual clothes to go to her designated 4S store to open a bill, naturally there was no penny discount, but she heard that Lu Wei finally passed the probation period smoothly with this business.
Qi Yun returned to the city to teach, and it was she who called Lu Wei. On the phone, she enthusiastically recalled the good times when she was a college classmate, and Lu Wei was so enthusiastic that Lu Wei was surprised, Lu Wei said: "Zhuomei, I didn't find you so healthy, lively and approachable before." β
This sentence made Zhuo Mei slightly sad. She held the phone and smiled impeccable into the air in front of her:
"You know what? Qi Yun is going to the TV station to record a talk show tomorrow! Qi Yun is too good, too much to give our squad leader face! By the way, after Qi Yun finished recording the show, I asked her to eat ice cream at the HΓ€agen-Dazs store outside the South Gate, will you come too? β
Come, must come. Zhuomei shouted in her heart. It's been nearly a year since she graduated, and she has hardly seen the quiet, silent, and serious boy who looks like he is desperate. She just wants to look at him, to see his happiness, to see him with his best friend, growing old together.
"That's it, tomorrow at 3 p.m., the HΓ€agen-Dazs store outside the south gate, see you or leave!"
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and held down a pounding heart.
The next afternoon, she didn't see Lu Wei. But no matter what, Qi Yun and Lu Wei met through her threading the needle. And judging from Qi Yun's shyness and joy on the phone later, they must have done something unseemly! Just when Zhuo Mei was planning to meet again next time, she had to be ashamed of Qi Yun, a dead girl who usually pretended to be a quiet lady, but in fact, she was a thief who was more daring than anyone else, but something big suddenly happened.
First Qi Yun was pregnant, and then she had a miscarriage. The most paradoxical thing is: I heard that Miss He, the vice president of the Housing Construction Group, was pregnant with Lu Wei's child almost at the same time.
God knows. She just knew that Lu Wei was threatened by the underworld, and her life was in danger, although she instinctively tried not to make herself have anything to do with Lu Wei, but how could she sit idly by and ignore this kind of life and death situation? She begged her father to meet with Lu Wei for a detailed discussion, and Uncle Qi came that day - in the end, it was Uncle Qi who helped Lu Wei, and Zhuo Mei only felt that this was a beautiful thing: after all, they were a family.
Then there is a series of things in Qi Yun's family: his father was shuanggui, his mother committed suicide, and he killed him unclearly; I once thought that I would definitely marry Qi Yun's man in this life, and Feihuang Tengda became Vice President He's fast son-in-law, and then Qi Yun was transferred to a unit that was not salty or light, and the once flowery future was also in a slump, and he couldn't even see the hope of dying early and surviving early.
If she is Qi Yun...... Zhuomei didn't dare to think about it. At the same time, instinctively blamed all this on Lu Wei's betrayal of Qi Yun, Zhuo Mei almost let out the bold words of wanting to settle accounts with Lu Wei, but when she saw Lu Wei...... Only to find out that everything has changed.
Standing in front of him, this well-dressed, shrewd man who is clear and shrewd, and his every move is impeccable, where is he Lu Wei? Zhuo Mei looked at the man dressed in the skin of the old man talking and laughing, lifting his weight like a light, controlling everything in the palm of his hand, just standing and watching, and also broke out in a cold sweat.
It's no longer Lu Wei, but a character who has to give a little face in both black and white, and even with Deng Chang, who gave her father the most headache - that Deng Chang, who stabbed out Lou Zi several times, but it was more slippery than a loach, and no one could catch the real evidence, Director Zhuo almost heard the name surnamed Deng once, and he had a heart attack once.
Qi Yun and the young man she had loved seemed to have suddenly disappeared...... Suddenly, it was gone.
But just like Lu Wei still loves Qi Yun, she still loves Lu Wei.
Maybe it's because I'm in love with that layer of dΓ©jΓ vu skin, maybe it's because I'm in love with those ...... The time of youth that is gone forever.
In fact, when you dig deeper, in the time of your youth, the memory of Lu Wei is only a scaly claw. When he talked to Lu Wei for the first time, because the girls in the same dormitory laughed, Lu Wei blushed; What kind of classmates climbed the mountain in the spring, Lu Wei carried her bag and casually told her about his childhood and his story in the mountains.
There were more vivid memories of love in her youth, but when everything was blurred, only the silent silhouette of the boy sitting in the window seat at the back of the classroom was still as clear as yesterday.
It's not that she didn't want to go to the mountains to have a look, or like Qi Yun, go to the mountains to teach. But she knew that her old man would not agree to be killed, and she also felt that the teacher was unknown, and she had not yet formed an idea, so she shook her head with a smile.
She rarely thought of Lu Wei, and gradually even deceived herself. If it weren't for that day, she probably wouldn't have understood that she was so deeply in love with Lu Worry.
During those days, Director Zhuo's busyness was almost at its peak. In fact, that kind of specific arrest task should naturally be completed by the small police officers, and there is no reason to let the director do it himself, but first, the matter is big, and secondly, it is also because Deng Changqi is a heart disease that Director Zhuo can't get rid of for several years, every time he fights with him, it is like scratching the soles of his boots, getting more and more itchy and anxious, but the more helpless, so angry that Director Zhuo almost wants to break his leg bones. Unconvinced, he had to go into battle in person, vowing to arrest Deng Chang and his related people, and he was ashamed.
Needless to say, the first battle to arrest Deng Chang was difficult, but it had been more than half a year since the incident, and there were still legends in the nearby streets and alleys that there were several gunshots at that dawn, as well as the blood stains on the ground that were specially transferred by the municipal government the next day.
Director Zhuo was born in the military army, and he has been in Vietnam several times in the war, and he has never seen any formation. But he didn't remember that he had captured the most tricky Deng Chang that night, but there was another more tricky thing waiting for her.
He suddenly saw his daughter's car driving into the last place he should have gotten in. The daughter got out of the car and grabbed his wrist tremblingly, as if he had seen a ghost in the middle of the night.
Zhuomei's face was not much better than that of a ghost, her hair was disheveled, and her pale face was still stained with tears.
"Let him go, Daddy."
Zhuo Mei begged softly. Since his wife's death, Director Zhuo has never heard anyone speak to him like this. And it was the daughter who begged for himself like this, and Director Zhuo was stunned for a while, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Delicately and deftly, she took off the pistol from her father's waist, took a few steps back, and pointed to her leg, "Let him go." β
Director Zhuo was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "You! You're crazy, aren't you! ...... the hell Who are you talking about? β
"Lu Wei...... Let him go. β
Zhuo Mei silver teeth clenched, and shot herself in the calf. In an instant, the blood was pouring in. Director Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward to hug her, and the rapid blood loss made her face pale and serene.
"Daddy, please......"
Elder Zhuo burst into tears, carried his daughter into the car, held the steering wheel with one hand, and drove to the hospital to send Zhuo Mei for rescue. I ran a few red lights along the way, but fortunately it was night.
His other hand kept holding the phone, and when Zhuo Mei pushed into the ward, he was still talking on the phone, directing the "battle" on that side with his decades of experience as a veteran policeman.
Zhuomei's leg injury healed, and the eldest girl's family was like a flower, but fortunately there were no sequelae. Lu Wei also pronounced a sentence, and he will spend more than ten years of his life in the high wall.
Director Zhuo never mentioned the events of that night again, and Zhuo Mei herself did not mention it again, and the father and daughter tacitly pretended to have amnesia.
Zhuomei has done many crazy things for love in her life, and this thing is the second most crazy thing.
The number one is the unrequited love for Lu Wei...... Maybe this life is like this.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Although he only helped her carry the bag once, and when he saw Qi Yun ascending to the top of the mountain, he hurriedly chased after her.
But she loved him for so many years.
A crush is better than a happy relationship, because a crush will never fall out of love, I have been happy for many days when you laugh, and I remember your words for many years.
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! γ
