Chapter 44: It's Good to Be Home
The small hot pot was boiling for a while, Wu Jiahao looked at his watch, said that the time was up, and then began to take down the baked cakes that had been heated, and carefully removed the lid.
Although the taste of spicy temptation came to his face, Cheng Qingge thought to himself, he couldn't just stretch out his hands and wait to eat, he had to do something, right? So she also reached out diligently to help.
Unexpectedly, accompanied by Wu Jiahao's voice: "Don't move!" Cheng Qingge had already lifted the lid of another small hot pot with her hands in hand, and the heat under the lid instantly burned her hands.
At this moment, Cheng Qingge was completely unprepared, and almost overturned the small hot pot...... Fortunately, Wu Jiahao grabbed her hand in time, and then picked up half a bottle of mineral water next to her and poured it on her hot hand.
The hot feeling meets the cold stimulation, and it is instantly much more comfortable.
Things happened too quickly, and when Cheng Qingge came back to her senses, her hand was being tightly held by Wu Jiahao. raised his eyes and collided with Wu Jiahao's eyes full of concern, as if all of a sudden, his eyes and heart were burned again......
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and suddenly Wu Jiahao embarrassedly put down Cheng Qingge's hand and hurriedly said, "How is it?" Does it still hurt? Do I need to take medication or go to the hospital? ”
Cheng Qingge hurriedly retracted his hand and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's okay, it's okay, it's just that I was booed by the heat, I didn't get hurt, how can I go to the hospital......"
Hearing Cheng Qingge's words, Wu Jiahao stretched out his hand again, and wanted to check again to confirm that the place where Cheng Qingge was burned was really fine, but Cheng Qingge hurriedly retracted his hand.
At this moment, Cheng Qingge was thinking in his heart, whether the scald hurt hurt or not, he didn't feel anything now, but the strength of the senior brother to pinch his wrist was really great...... Does your wrist really hurt......
Wu Jiahao still looked uneasy and continued to ask: "It's all red?" Is it really okay? Why don't I go and see if there is any ointment in the service area, or toothpaste or something? ”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Jiahao was about to turn around and leave, Cheng Qingge hurriedly grabbed him with his other uninjured hand: "It's okay, it's really okay, it'll be fine in a while, didn't you already help me wash it with cold water just now!" Let's sit down and eat. ”
The two of them looked at each other again in place, and finally sat down to eat.
After the emergency, the two of them were speechless, thinking about things in their own hearts, and eating was exceptionally quiet.
Although the convenient small hot pot is not as delicious as the real hot pot, the environment is also particular about this food.
According to the current situation, as Wu Jiahao said, it will be very satisfying to be able to eat a bite of hot instant noodles, not to mention that there is meat in this small hot pot!
Cheng Qingge thought as he sandwiched a large piece of beef and put it in his mouth. finally opened the conversation again: "If you want to say that winter is still the best match with hot pot!" Senior brother, you say, if there are more small snowflakes, wouldn't it be more perfect......"
Unexpectedly, hearing this, Wu Jiahao, who had always felt that everything she said was right, quickly interrupted her: "Don't don't, don't, don't, this Spring Festival is most afraid of bad road conditions, and it will be a little snowy, but we may have to go home for several hours." Do you really want to stay stuck on the highway? ”
When Cheng Qingge heard this, the meat that caught his mouth almost fell off, and he hurriedly said "Bah, Bah, Bah" and said, "Oh, Senior Brother, what you said is right!" I just thought about romance and poetry, and I almost got myself into trouble. ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then they each buried their heads and began to eat a small hot pot.
Cheng Qingge suddenly felt that along the way, with Wu Jiahao, he seemed to have always been very down-to-earth. It seems that this kind of getting along makes people feel very comfortable?
However, although the scandal between himself and Wu Jiahao has also been passed on again and again, Wu Jiahao never seems to have made it clear that he likes him.
He has always been by her side like an older brother.
At critical moments, he never dropped the chain.
So, the person in front of him, in his heart, does he like it or not?
Cheng Qingge picked up another slice of potatoes, and was a little stunned.
I'm thinking about it again.
It's just a hot pot, and what are you thinking?
Besides, if you think about it, the answer won't come out on its own. It's just a matter of annoyance.
It's better to cherish the present and the present.
After all, in the smoke of the small hot pot, Cheng Qingge looked at Wu Jiahao's flickering face, and he always smiled so good.
After eating the hot hot pot and matching it with his favorite baked cakes, as well as the sunny smile of his senior brother, Cheng Qingge and Wu Jiahao returned to the car with satisfaction, and the group of four began to continue the Spring Festival homecoming.
The car was still driving slower and slower, and when everyone was at a loss, all the cars crowded into one lane, and finally passed an accident point. Cheng Qingge saw that although the broken car had been towed away at the scene, there were still broken debris left, occupying two lanes, as if to tell the passers-by that the accident just now was serious. Further on, in the isolation zone not far from the accident site, you can still see a few people sitting scattered, probably the passengers in the accident car just now, everyone is depressed.
Cheng Qingge sighed while watching it, the Spring Festival is the most important thing to go home safely for reunion.
After squeezing through this section, the speed of the car finally increased again. Fortunately, there were no more emergencies on the back road, and the car was running all the way. As we passed through the toll booth and got off the highway, a familiar feeling finally came to my face.
I only heard Wu Jiahao say while stretching his waist: "Wow, I finally got off the highway, and I finally don't have to continue to curl up in the car!" After listening to this, Cheng Qingge hurriedly looked at Wu Jiahao's long legs, smiled at him again, and thought in his heart that he was really running all the way, and he was finally going home.
As soon as he got off the highway, Wu Jiahao's father asked: "Which community does Cheng Qingge's family live in?" Shall we go and see her off first? ”
Cheng Qingge heard this and hurriedly said: "No need, no need, uncle and aunt, you just drive home, I'll just get out of the car and take a taxi back by myself." There is really no need to bother, this way, I am very grateful to be able to rush back before the Spring Festival. ”
Wu Jiahao suddenly took over and said: "Oh, it's okay, it's already here, sending you home is a matter of kicking the accelerator." Just tell me which neighborhood your family lives in. ”
Cheng Qingge turned his head to look at him and whispered, "You...... Didn't you just complain that you don't have a place to put your legs? Don't you want to get out of the car right away? Isn't that uncomfortable? ”
Wu Jiahao smiled, quickly stretched his leg and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not uncomfortable, it's not uncomfortable at all, you see my leg stretching to you, can't it be straightened!" I just talked about it casually. ”
The uncles and aunts in the front row also smiled and said: "It's already here, you are a girl with luggage, it's inconvenient to take a taxi, we will definitely go to see you off first, you're welcome." ”
When it comes to this, Cheng Qingge is not good at refusing anymore, fortunately, his home is not far away, and he obediently reported the name of the community, but he didn't expect Wu Jiahao to say again: "Oh my God, isn't it?" I used to live in this neighborhood too! Why haven't I seen you before? ”
Cheng Qingge was also stunned: "Really? Such a coincidence? ”
Wu Jiahao was still talking to himself: "No, I said why did I feel familiar when I saw you for the first time, really, we must have met in the community." I thought we'd met it at school before. It turns out that we are still neighbors! ”
Wu Jiahao's mother turned her head when she heard this and said, "That's really a coincidence, we are all familiar with the way there." Hao Hao went to college and we just changed the house, and it is not far from there. ”
Cheng Qingge had no choice but to smile and nodded, repeating the good coincidence, while continuing to say that it would be troublesome.
Wu Jiahao reached out and patted her head, pretending to be angry and said, "Why are you so polite?" No matter how polite I am, I'm going to be anxious with you, and I won't take you next time. ”
Cheng Qingge listened to it, and quickly put all the words of thank you and trouble back into his stomach, and obediently shut up. Unexpectedly, this scene made the uncles and aunts in the front row laugh.
Cheng Qingge remembered at this time that people had sent him all the way home, and seeing that it was almost evening, he quickly called his parents and said that we would arrive at the community in less than half an hour.
Then he quietly sent a message to his parents, telling him to prepare in advance, and he must politely leave someone for a meal before leaving.
After settling down, Cheng Qingge was relieved, looking out the window, it was all familiar scenery, and home was getting closer and closer.
From a distance, I saw my parents, all standing at the door of the building and waiting.
Cheng Qingge suddenly felt a feeling of tears in his eyes.
Sure enough, only when you leave home can you know how to be homesick.
As soon as he got out of the car, Cheng Qingge hurriedly went up to pull his parents' hands and came over to introduce Wu Jiahao and his parents.
Cheng Qingge's parents thanked them vigorously, and also warmly invited: "It's so late, just in time for dinner, let's go upstairs together and have a simple bite before leaving." ”
Wu Jiahao's parents refused: "We don't live far away, we really don't have to bother, my daughter finally came back, let's reunite the family of three, and the three of us hurried home." ”
After a pleasantry, Wu Jiahao's family finally drove away. Cheng Qingge and the three of them happily carried their things upstairs.
As soon as Cheng Qingge entered the house, she smelled that her mother had made her favorite braised prawns and meatball soup.
If you look closely, the table is really full of dishes, and a few of them seem to have gone to the restaurant downstairs to buy them to make up the numbers.
Cheng Qingge said while changing his shoes: "Oh, Mom, Dad, you two are really serious." After getting this big table of dishes, the task was completed quite quickly. ”
Dad took over and said, "Can you not be serious about the things arranged by your daughter?" If we don't come back, we may be held accountable. Besides, people have worked hard all the way to send my precious girl home, and I should treat them to a meal. ”
Mom didn't speak, she went into the kitchen when she entered the door, and after a while, she brought out the rice and urged Cheng Qingge to wash her hands.
"Hurry up and eat first, my daughter got in the car in the morning, it's been a few hours, and I definitely haven't eaten well at noon, don't talk, eat first."
Cheng Qingge went over and hugged his mother's neck and said, "Oh, it's better to be a mother, my mother loves me the most." Then I hurriedly went to wash my hands, and the family of three started eating happily.
Parents rushed to pick vegetables and peel shrimp for Cheng Qingge, Cheng Qingge thought while eating, well, it's good to go home.
