Fragrant mouth of the hot pot

Hibiscus sat in front of An Zhengrong's tombstone in Xishan Cemetery for a day, and it was not until the evening when the setting sun fell on Xishan and the afterglow flowed on the tombstone in the cemetery that she finally stood up. Watching the waves

Before coming by car, she always felt as if she had a lot to say to her father, a lot of uncertainties to ask him, and wanted his father to give her ideas.

However, when she really arrived at her father's tombstone, when she looked at the picture of her father on the tombstone, she couldn't say a word, and she couldn't ask a single question.

My father was a lawyer, and the most I dealt with in my life was the problem, and when he was alive, especially before he was concussed in the head, he thought about it almost every day.

's life was not easy, when he was young, he was looked down upon by Tang Wanyi because he was a little lawyer, and later he finally became a barrister, but he owed a debt of conscience because of this, and then for that trace of conscience, he actually supported Fang Yichen from middle school to college, and in the end he did not get a good job.

Later, he became famous, but he was calculated by others, and after being disabled, life was not very good, especially his headache, which was committed at the slightest stimulation, and every time he got pain, he almost died.

My father's life is hard enough, especially after she was framed and grabbed in the detention center, her father really took great pains for her, and finally got her out, but he offended Mayor Lin because of this, which led to the loss of his life.

Therefore, she can't disturb her father anymore, because his life has finally calmed down, and he is finally away from illness and torture, and she shouldn't disturb her father's tranquility.

So, she sat in front of her father's tombstone, sat silently like that, and whispered to him that she had come back from England, had succeeded in her studies, and now she and her friends had opened a design company together.

Adhering to the principle of reporting good news and not bad news, she finally did not tell her father that Mu Feng was Lin Changfeng's son, but only said that she was very good now, had a career, and was about to have a family, and hoped that her father would bless her to live a peaceful life.

Walking down from the Xishan Cemetery, the sun has completely set down the mountain, and the afterglow leaves a large glow in the west, so that the trees of the entire Xishan are bathed in the glow, which is really dyed.

Walking out of the gate of Xishan Cemetery, she was shocked to find a car parked there, if she remembered correctly, this car had also given her a ride in front of the Third Hospital two days ago.

She sighed lightly, and was hesitating, he had already gotten out of the car, bypassed the front of the car to the passenger door, and very politely and gentlemanly helped her open the door, looking at her sincerely and attentively.

She finally didn't run away like the heroine in movies and television, or pretended to be arrogant and disdainful of him and his car, and then turned around and walked away with her head held high, ignoring his existence.

She walked over to get into the car very realistically, because she was weak after sitting in front of her father's tombstone for a day, and most importantly, she had not eaten for a day, and she was already hungry and had no strength.

As soon as he sat down, he had already gotten into the car from the cab, and then quickly handed her a pack of macadamia nuts and a box of yogurt: "Pad your stomach first, there is no food sold in this place, and it is estimated that you have to go into the city to eat." ”

She was slightly stunned, but finally took it and said softly: "Xie Luxie!" Are you on your way again today? ”

He smiled bitterly and started the car, slowly drove down the mountain, and only looked at her sideways after half a sound and said, "You said that you don't like to take a ride, so I came here to wait for you." ”

"Oh, you're following me?" She frowned slightly, but she had already torn open her macadamia nut pocket as she spoke, hunger made her instinctively surrender to the food, and she almost couldn't wait to stuff it into her mouth.

Many years later, whenever she thinks of this paragraph, she often laughs at herself for being spineless, without any backbone.

"I'm worried that you won't come out of the cemetery," he replied, and then quickly changed the subject, "What do you want to eat?" Do you want me to have a treat? ”

She shook her head, with a macadamia nut in her mouth, and said a little vaguely: "Since you have already driven me down, then if you don't charge the fare, I should invite you to dinner, if you charge the fare."

"I don't charge the fare," he immediately cut off her words, and a rare smile appeared on his face, "Then you have to invite me to dinner, this is what you just said yourself." ”

She was silent and nodded, not pretentious, and said directly: "Nacheng, since I have a treat, you can choose the location." ”

He was not polite at all, and said directly: "Nacheng, you close your eyes and rest for a while, and I will wake you up when I drive later." ”

She nodded, no longer answered, and stuffed a macadamia nut into her mouth, and then pulled out the straw of the yogurt with her hand and plugged it in, she was really hungry, Xishan is not close to the city, so it will take more than an hour's drive to eat, and she can squint for a while if she eats something.

Hibiscus closed her eyes after drinking the yogurt, perhaps because she was tired from sitting in front of her father's tombstone for too long, so she fell asleep in a daze after a few minutes.

By the time she woke up, to be precise, by Shi Yan waking her up softly, it had been more than three hours later.

She opened her eyes and instinctively looked at her watch, God, she remembered that she walked out of Xishan Cemetery at five o'clock in the evening, and in the blink of an eye, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

"What kind of broken car are you? How does it look like a turtle crawling? When she got off the bus, she muttered with a little dissatisfaction: "I knew that I would have gone down the mountain to catch a taxi, even if I took the bus, it would be faster than yours." ”

He laughed, not angry, just said lightly: "There are some small traffic jams on the road, you know, my driving skills have always been not very good, so I dare not cut the left and cut the right casually, so I can only honestly go to the queue and wait, this speed, of course, will not be fast." ”

Is he average? Mu frowned slightly, obviously didn't understand what he said, and was about to speak, but when he looked up, he suddenly found that this place seemed to be somewhat familiar.

Because she first saw a vegetable market, and then on a comprehensive building behind the vegetable market, on a delisting board that was shining with LED neon signs, it was actually the words 'Xiangxiangzui'.

If she remembers correctly, this fragrant mouth should be a self-service hot pot, she still remembers four years ago, when she first invited him to dinner, and the hot pot at that time was a buffet of 19 yuan per person.

Now Xiangxiangzui is still making self-service hot pot, but it is no longer the original 19 yuan per person, but with the development of the economy and the increase in prices, it has now risen to 29 yuan per person.

Mu Hibiscus never expected that he would choose such a place, and it seems that he still has a deep memory of proposing to her with a broccoli that night.

Since she said that he could choose the location, she can't say that she won't invite him now, right? So I could only walk with him to take the elevator upstairs to the Xiangxiangzui restaurant on the top floor.

Four years have passed, and Xiangxiangzui has not changed, even the former dining table and chairs and self-pickup food area are still the same.

It's just that there were others sitting in the place where they had sit, so they had to find a new place to sit down, and the waiter came up, because it was Hibiscus to treat him, so he didn't hesitate to order the red pot.

Hibiscus frowned slightly, she had been abroad for three years, and now her stomach was a little sensitive to chili peppers, so she said to the waiter: "I still want mandarin duck pot." ”

After ordering the bottom of the pot, the two of them went to the self-pickup area to get food together, and when they walked up to the broccoli, the clips of the two almost instinctively avoided it, and neither of them took the food.

Red and white mandarin duck pot, Shi Yan poured some food that was not easy to cook into the red pot, and then asked very casually: "In the past few years, how are you abroad?" ”

"Well, it's fine," she replied faintly, pouring the easy-to-cook food into the white pot.

After the question and answer, the two of them did not speak again, and the fire was turned on, and the pot soon began to boil with joy, so they both began to fish and eat, as if they were all very hungry.

It's obviously the bottom of the pot of red and white mandarin ducks, but I don't know what's going on, and it didn't take long for the small white pot in the middle to be made into a hot pot, which was full of peppercorns and chili peppers.

Hibiscus has lived in England for three years, and her stomach is no longer accustomed to spicy stimulation, so after a few bites, she is already so spicy that her tears are dripping, and her tongue is almost stiff.

She was crying while eating, eating while crying, the paper towels in the hot pot restaurant were free, she used up a large stack of soy milk in front of her, and drank a large bottle of soy milk.

Although it was so spicy, neither of them stopped their chopsticks, and kept scooping up those things to eat, as if if they didn't eat, their mouths wouldn't know what else to do.

The whole meal was very peaceful, even if the hibiscus was eating while crying, but the two hardly communicated, even if they occasionally spoke, they asked if you wanted this, or, be careful, don't burn it.

The accident happened when the hibiscus beckoned to pay after eating, and an aunt-level aunt stepped forward, instinctively fluttered when she saw the hibiscus, looked at Shi Yan again, and then shouted in surprise: "Oh, it's the two of you?" ”

Shi Yan and Mu Hibiscus were both slightly stunned, looked up at the aunt, and then remembered that the two of them were proposing marriage here, and the aunt was very active at that time, and took the initiative to help them buy wedding rings.

Hibiscus smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "It's the two of us, that, auntie, are you still working here?" ”

"It's still there, where can I find a job when I'm older?" The aunt seemed very enthusiastic and talkative, so she asked with concern: "By the way, are you married?" Also, has he made money to buy you a diamond ring now? ”

When the aunt asked this, her eyes naturally swept to Mu Hibiscus's hand, and it was too late for Mu Hibiscus to hide her hand, so she could only laugh dryly and replied: "Mmmm, I bought it, I bought it." ”

When the aunt heard her say this, she laughed happily again, and then praised her while looking for money for hibiscus: "I see that you are a child who knows how to run a house, and the diamond ring is such an expensive thing, of course you can't wear your fingers casually when you go out, in fact, that's a formality, the main thing is that he can really treat you well." ”

Mu Hibiscus nodded, took the change that the aunt found, got up and said goodbye to the aunt, and the aunt said to Shi Yan with a happy face: "Your daughter-in-law is good, you were so poor at the beginning, and the people who proposed with broccoli and a coin ring agreed to marry you, you can't let her down in your life, where can you find such a good girl?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Shi Yan responded three yes words in a row, and then looked at the aunt and promised: "I will never let her down in my life, and I will definitely treat her sincerely." ”

"That's right," the aunt waved at him, "Come often in the future, bring your children next time, your children should be five or six years old, right?" I remember when you proposed a few years ago, you said you had already had a baby? ”

Shi Yan's face immediately looked like something embarrassed, and he didn't care about answering his aunt's question, and quickly walked towards the elevator entrance, because Mu Hibiscus had already pressed the elevator door.

The two went downstairs silently, and Hibiscus thought that he should drive back, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got out of the elevator, he grabbed her wrist and quickly walked towards the overpass not far away.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Hibiscus only felt that something was wrong, and struggled to break free, trying to break free of his hand.

But his hand clamped her wrist like an iron tong, not giving her a chance to break free at all, and she had no choice but to be pulled up the overpass by him.

However, there was nothing on the flyover, it was empty, and now there was hardly anyone walking on the flyover because the traffic light walkway had been opened below.

A deep sense of loss spread from the bottom of his heart, and he finally let go of her hand, and saw that she was rubbing his red wrist with her other hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry! ”
