"I don't care about that yet." Huo Bufan said, turned to face the old man who was guarding the door, took out a paper bag from the bag and handed it over, and said, "When we meet for the first time, this is handmade ginger tea, which is good for the health of the elderly." A small gift is not a tribute. ”

The old man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Huo Bufan to prepare a gift for him the first time he came to the door. Although it is not valuable, it is obviously sent according to the needs of the elderly.

Not to mention anything else, this intention alone made the old janitor have a particularly good impression of him.

With a smile on his face, he took the ginger tea, and the old man at the gate couldn't help nodding and said, "Good boy, good boy......"

He's just an ordinary janitor, with little knowledge and no routines.

If you think a person is good, it is good, even if it is a compliment, it seems so simple.

Huo Bufan smiled and said, "Although ginger tea is good, it is easy to get angry if you drink too much, so you can take it easy." ”

"Yes, yes." The old janitor squinted and smiled.

Wang Hanyi next to him pouted again, who didn't know that the janitor in Zhao Yongan's house was an ordinary university doorman, who had no background and no ability. With such a person, you are still giving gifts and caring, and you are really idle and have nothing to do.

And although Huo Jiaming also had similar thoughts, at the same time, he still had a strange feeling in his head.

How does this scene feel like I've seen it somewhere?

In other words, the way the man in front of him does things and the tone of his voice make him feel a strange sense of familiarity.

Without waiting for Huo Jiaming to figure it out, Zhao Yongan had already come over from the vegetable field.

Whether it was Zhao Yongan himself or Tang Shiming who was holding a sickle behind him, there was some muddy water on his body.

The two of them pulled weeds and dug holes in the field early in the morning, and the old man wanted to order more tomatoes, which could be eaten cold when he turned around.

While taking a towel from Tang Shiming to wipe his hands, Zhao Yongan smiled and said to Huo Bufan: "It's here." ”

"Good morning." Huo Bufan greeted very sincerely.

Huo Jiaming and Wang Hanyi also hurriedly greeted each other, and Zhao Yongan looked at the two of them and dealt with them casually.

At this time, the old man raised the ginger tea in his hand, and said in a show-off tone: "This young man brought me ginger tea, and I will make you a cup to taste it later." ”

"You're an old boy, and you're still showing off with me?" Zhao Yongan scolded with a smile, looked at Huo Bufan again, and said, "It's good, I know how to respect the elderly, and I am very polite." But since you brought him a gift, what about mine? Say okay first, let me be satisfied, and stay for dinner at noon. If you are not satisfied, the tea will not let you drink it. ”

said this, but Zhao Yongan's eyes were full of approval.

He knew very well that none of the people who came to the house could afford to look down on the old janitor. This old guy is from an ordinary background, and his words and deeds are no different from the real bottom.

Over the years, there have been few people who have brought him gifts for the first time.

In the past, the Huo family's star of hope was one, and now, there is one more.

Huo Bufan smiled and handed over the book in his hand, and said, "After picking for a long time, I think this book is quite suitable for you." ”

Zhao Yongan took it and looked at it, then he was stunned, and after a few seconds, he laughed and said, "You kid, it's really interesting." Let's go, go in and have tea! ”

Huo Jiaming and Wang Hanyi both saw it clearly, it was a cookbook, it looked ordinary, nothing special.

But just such a cookbook made Zhao Yongan so happy, and the two were really confused.

Although Tang Shiming was also a little surprised, he looked at Huo Bufan's eyes with a hint of appreciation.

This young man is still quite smart.

For a character like Zhao Yongan, what kind of book haven't you read?

Even if you get a world-class lonely, he may not necessarily like it.

Huo Bufan took another shortcut and bought him a recipe.

It seems to be very ordinary, but in fact, at Zhao Yongan's age, his wife and children are gone, how much more pursuit can he have in life?

It's nothing more than eating and drinking well, waiting for your legs to stare at and bury the loess, and say goodbye to the world.

People who don't have too many ideas, their needs are so simple, and the most unpretentious things are what they need the most.

Huo Bufan saw through people's hearts and fundamentally solved the problem.

Facts have proved that the recipes he bought are quite suitable for Zhao Yongan's appetite.

Passing through the gravel-paved path, Zhao Yongan kept introducing the flowers along the way to Huo Bufan.

It can be seen that he is very fond of these flowers and plants, and he is very good at speaking.

Huo Bufan occasionally hummed, indicating that he was still listening, and did not take the initiative to echo him to say these trivial things.

Older people like to be verbose, it's due to age, sometimes they don't need you to follow along, they just need someone to listen to it.

And Huo Bufan did this very well.

So much so that when he entered the house, Zhao Yongan was very satisfied and said: "For so long, I still feel most comfortable talking to you." ”

Huo Bufan smiled and took the tea set from Tang Shiming's hand and said, "If you feel comfortable, sit down and rest, and I'll make tea." ”

"Okay, you can soak it." Zhao Yongan sat at the table with great interest, turned his head and saw Huo Jiaming and Wang Hanyi, so he beckoned: "You two also come, go back and taste the tea he brewed together." If it's delicious, praise it, and splash it on his face if it's not good, wasting my good tea. ”

This is purely a joke, and there are not many people who can make Zhao Yongan joke like this.

Strictly speaking, he and Huo Bufan only met for the second time, but the relationship seemed to be someone who had been familiar for a long time, and even Tang Shiming was surprised.

Huo Bufan's every move is very much in line with Zhao Yongan's wishes, he is like a roundworm in the stomach of this old man, he knows what kind of result he wants to see the most.

Huo Jiaming and Wang Hanyi sat down and watched Huo Bufan skillfully wash tea, make tea, and divide tea.

Tea making is very particular, many people have been studying this all their lives, and now there are many local tea houses, which are also promoting the real ancient way of making tea.

For those who have leisure and elegance, drinking tea like this is very interesting, and for ordinary people, it is a waste of time.

Most people are still more accustomed to pinching a pinch of tea leaves into the thermos cup, no matter how many degrees of hot water they have, pour it full and it's over.

It's like Huo Bufan, a series of more than a dozen steps, well organized.

His movements were elegant, and he looked like a veteran who had been immersed in adultery for many years, and even Zhao Yongan nodded secretly when he saw it.

Judging from the effort of making tea, I can't find anything wrong.

"Studied before?" Zhao Yongan asked.

"It's not specialized, there is a younger brother at home who likes to drink, so I found someone to learn for a few days." Huo Bufan said, handing the divided teacup to Zhao Yongan first.

Zhao Yongan picked it up, took a sip, and nodded: "Not bad." ”

Huo Jiaming also picked up a cup and tasted it, his eyes lit up slightly.

Like his father, Huo Jiaming has also been nurtured to be a scholar since he was a child, and he likes these things that have flowed out since ancient times.

Tasting is one of the few things that can please the elders and be of high grade.

Huo Bufan's tea has a mellow taste and a full aftertaste. When you turn around in your mouth, you will be full of fragrance and will not disperse for a long time.

In addition to the good tea, it also shows that his work in making tea is in place.

Otherwise, no matter how good the tea is, the fragrance will be weakened a lot.

"Don't drink tea so fast, taste it slowly, in order to taste the various states of life." Huo Bufan said casually.

Huo Jiaming hummed and replied habitually: "Got it." ”

As soon as the words came out, both of them were slightly stunned.

This kind of conversation is what they used to say when they used to drink tea.

Because Huo Jiaming always drinks tea quickly, cup after cup, he is often reprimanded by his uncle for chewing peonies.

Huo Bufan will often remind him in this regard, and Huo Jiaming will be reprimanded once, saying that he knows once. Over time, it has become a habit.

This time I drank tea, and I repeated the previous process again.

Huo Bufan immediately calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, and on the surface he looked like an ancient well, while Huo Jiaming looked at him with a strange face.

At this moment, he finally remembered why the scene at the door just now felt familiar.

If I remember correctly, when the third brother Huo Bufan brought him to visit Zhao Yongan, he seemed to do the same.

I gave the old janitor a small gift first, and got a good impression on the other party.

And now, when I drink tea, I also talk and answer the same thing as when I get along with the third brother.

If it weren't for the fact that the face and voice of the man in front of him were wrong, and the third brother was managing affairs in the family, and he didn't have time to come here, Huo Jiaming would have thought that this person was the brother he admired and feared the most.
