Chapter 94: The Delicious Taste in the Braised Jar
The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve has finally arrived.
Tianle Palace has been lively for a whole year The relocation site finally cooled down on this day, except for a few people who want to tidy up the yard this morning, most of them are in the hotel room to start a happy sleep.
Lin Lin still got up at seven o'clock in the morning to go out for a walk and exercise.
He didn't know that someone had gotten up earlier than him this morning, and he had been out for more than half an hour now. This is Lu Li, who is drinking hot milk in her father's room in the hotel opposite.
Lu Li looked at his father, who was busy sorting out his luggage in the room, put down the milk and asked him, "Dad, do you have to leave on the first day of junior high school?" The third year of junior high school is not good. ”
Lu Guowei looked at his daughter with a smile, "The tickets have been bought, but it's hard to grab!" Your Aunt Su stared at it for a long time to buy it, hasn't Dad been staying for many days, and when the inn branch is renovated, you can go over and see me. ”
Lu Li took another sip of milk, "Aunt Su, they should be in the provincial capital soon, her room has already retreated?" ”
Lu Guowei straightened up and sat beside Lu Li, "Retreat, she will come back tomorrow morning and go directly to the airport with me, there is no need to stay in the room for one more night and waste money...... If you don't say that I forgot it, I sent a WeChat message to ask where it was, but there has been no movement. ”
Lu Guowei lowered his head to send a WeChat message to Su Yan, Lu Li watched him type words on the mobile phone screen with a finger, and suddenly sighed, raised his head and drank the rest of the milk in one gulp.
"You guys have a holiday until the third year of junior high school, how are you arranging these days? Don't you want to go to the neighborhood? It's good to go out for a walk with Mr. Lin. ”
Lu Li glared at his father, "Why did you mention Teacher Lin on purpose, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to sleep." ”
Lu Guowei smiled and didn't speak, looked down at his mobile phone and waited for Su Yan> but there was no movement on Su Yan's side, so Lu Guowei began to continue to sort things out. Lu Li couldn't intervene, so he sat on the bed and looked at him, and the father and daughter occasionally said a few words.
When the luggage was basically packed, Su Yan's reply came over, saying that he had arrived in the provincial capital, and he would return to Qibao Town at about this time tomorrow morning.
"Aunt Su asked us how we spent Chinese New Year's Eve tonight." Lu Guowei showed his mobile phone to Lu Li.
Lu Li glanced at it, "My mother said she wanted to set off fireworks outside tonight, she had already bought them, didn't she tell you?" ”
"Set off fireworks......" Lu Guowei looked out the window, "I haven't let go for many years, how can I think of this." ”
Lu Li frowned, she actually didn't know what kind of wind her mother smoked to want to set off fireworks, she now thought of her mother and remembered her small house.
The matter of renting a house has been settled, but Lu Li still has palpitations and is not so steady.
On the night He Linxi asked, Lu Li followed Lin Lian's advice to her, first went to talk to Song Yichen and her classmates on both sides, and then went to tell He Linxi that the house had been rented to Song Yichen.
As for Song Yichen's side, at this time, he could see that he was a smart child with high emotional intelligence, and after listening to Lu Li's words, he was obviously confused but didn't ask half a word, and Sister Particle asked her to cooperate as she could.
Lu Li's feeling for Song Yichen has improved a lot.
It's different when it comes to He Linxi.
"Then when I asked you in the afternoon, why didn't you just say it." He Linxi looked at Lu Li questioningly and asked.
Lu Li explained that it was because he had promised Song Yichen to keep this matter secret, but he was suddenly asked about it by his mother, so he didn't think about whether to say it or not, so he hesitated.
He Linxi looked at Lu Li suspiciously, although he believed this statement on the surface, Lu Li felt that his mother might not believe it, but he didn't know why he didn't break it.
No matter, anyway, after passing the current level, Lu Li forced himself to believe that he had passed the test.
Also, my mother has always made her feel weird recently, but she can't say what the specific fault is, Lu Li and her father said this feeling, but Lu Guowei replied lightly, "Menopause is here, it's okay." ”
This morning, when Lu Li got up and was about to come to his father's side, He Linxi was still asleep in bed and didn't wake up, so Lu Li didn't call her to join her, thinking about eating with her parents at lunchtime.
She already had plans for the morning, and she wouldn't stay with her dad for too long.
Qibao Town was cloudy again today, and when Lu Li left his father's room and walked out into the street, he felt that there were already scattered light snow drops.
Lu Li thought that it would be good if there was a big snowstorm on Chinese New Year's Eve.
The mobile phone rang in her hand, and Lin Lin sent her a WeChat message, asking her if she had already gone out, and said that she had arrived at the studio prepared for him at the relocation site, and asked Lu Li what he wanted to drink, and he prepared first.
Lu Li looked at the mobile phone screen and laughed, her arrangement this morning was to go to Lin Li's studio, and she wanted to be a sketch model for Lin Lin again.
"I'll be there in fifteen minutes, and I want coffee, milk and no sugar."
WeChat was sent, Lu Li walked quickly towards Tianle Palace, and it didn't take fifteen minutes to walk outside the door of Lin Li's studio.
Lin Lin came over to show her the door, and watched her walk into the studio before saying behind her back, "Why are there so many red bloodshots in your eyes, you didn't sleep well last night and you have insomnia?" ”
As soon as Lu Li entered the door, she already smelled the aroma of hot coffee, she smelled it like a puppy and looked for it, picked up the steaming coffee, and turned her face to look at Lin Lin with a smile, "No, it's early, I'll be like this when I get up early." ”
"What time did you wake up?" Lin Lin glanced at the cup of coffee that Lu Li held in his hand, "Do you see if the amount of milk is enough, not enough to add more." ”
Lu Li shook his head with satisfaction, "It's the ratio I want, it must be delicious." After saying that, he began to lower his head and blow the hot air coming out of the coffee, wishing that he would be able to drink it in his mouth immediately.
"Don't drink yet." Lin was silent, and suddenly his voice was serious.
Lu Li looked up at him in confusion, "What's wrong." ”
Lin Lin didn't speak, he walked over to a table in the corner of the studio, Lu Li followed curiously to see what he was doing, and saw the stew jar he had seen in Lin Li's room.
Next to the simmering jar, there are two thermos cups side by side, which are the classic models of the well-known brand, one black and one gray-blue.
Lin Lin didn't care about Lu Li, he was busy with his own work. He opened the stew jar, and the fragrance of rice porridge suddenly spread in the studio, and Lu Li couldn't help but sniff it hard.
Looking closer inside, Lu Li's eyes lit up, "Preserved egg and lean porridge!" yes, did you do it, it smells so good! ”
The corners of Lin Li's lips changed, "Guess right, you like to drink this, wait a minute, drink some porridge and then coffee, you must not have eaten in the morning." ”
He took two small stainless steel bowls from the side, and took out two bowls of hot preserved egg and lean porridge, "Take it over, be careful not to burn it." ”
Lu Li chased after him and asked, "Did you do it?" ”
Lin Lin snorted, put the two small spoons in the bowl separately, and stared at Lu Li to bring the porridge to the table over there.
Lu Li was really hungry, and when he sat down, he couldn't wait to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge first, and when he found that Lin Lin was looking at her with a smile on the side, he smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really hungry, you can eat too." ”
Lin Lin nodded and began to drink his bowl of porridge.
After the two of them drank the porridge, Lu Li snorted twice with satisfaction, Lin Lin still looked at her funny, and asked her if she still drank it, there was still it in the stew jar.
Lu Li shook his head, his eyes were already fixed on the cup of coffee in his hand, "I want to drink this." ”
She had just picked up the coffee when she was stopped by Lin Lin again.
"This cup is cold, I'll reheat it for you, wait a minute." Lin Xiao said, getting up and going to get new coffee for Lu Li.
Lu Li took advantage of his inattention to turn his back to his side, but still secretly took a sip of the coffee that was already cold.
It's still delicious, and it's delicious when it's cold.
Lin Lin brought new coffee and put it in front of Lu Li, "What do you want to eat for lunch?" ”
Lu Li burst out laughing, raised his eyes to look at Lin Xiao and said, "What's wrong with Teacher Lin?" As soon as I finished breakfast, I started to think about the next meal, haha. ”
Lin Xiao smiled and sat down, "Today is thirty, and everything outside is closed, I'm afraid that you don't like to eat the lunch you prepared, so ask first." ”
Lu Li just wanted to ask him what lunch he had prepared, but suddenly remembered that he had planned to eat with his parents at noon, so he frowned and didn't say anything for the time being.
She was hesitating whether to refuse Lin Lin and go out to lunch with her parents as originally planned.
"I almost forgot, you are going to eat with Director He and Teacher Lu at noon, it's okay, I can eat by myself, anyway, I don't have much to prepare, I'm afraid that you can eat too well and I can only go hungry." Lin Lin said it half-jokingly, as if he could see what Lu Li was thinking.
Lu Li pursed his lips and thought for a while, lowered his head and picked up his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to his parents, asking them if they could eat with him at noon.
I thought that my father would reply first, but it turned out that He Linxi came first, and she told Lu Ligang that she wanted to ask her about it, saying that she was going to eat in the kitchen, and she had already told Song Yichen who was preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner yesterday.
Just finished reading my mother's WeChat, Lu Guowei's also came over, saying that he had just finished contacting He Linxi, and as long as Lu Li could go, he would be fine.
Lu Li was even more entangled now.
"Go eat with your parents, it's rare for you to get together, it's no problem for me to eat by myself." Lin Lin glanced at the coffee in front of Lu Li, which was obviously less hot, "Drink it while it's hot, let's start painting after drinking, it's rare to have time to do your own thing, time is precious." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and walked over to the easel to prepare.
Lu Li replied to his parents on WeChat, and arranged to see him at the kitchen at twelve o'clock at noon, and after sending it, he quickly took two sips of coffee and asked Lin Lin what position she was going to sit there and pose.
Lin Lin pointed to a small sofa opposite the easel by the window, "Just sit there." Do you remember the pose in my study in Irbin? ”
Lu Li recalled for a moment and nodded.
"Then just sit down like that." Lin Xiao said, he sat in front of the easel first, "Let's take a break in twenty minutes?" ”
Lu Li walked to the small sofa, "No, just rest for forty minutes, I can sit still." ”
Lin Lin looked at her back, "Okay, when you're tired, you just say, you don't have to be so accurate about time." ”
Lu Li made an OK gesture at him and sat on the sofa.
When he officially started painting, Lu Li looked at Lin Lin and asked, "Are you painting now or didn't finish painting that one in Irbin?" Did you bring it back when you returned home? ”
Lin Lin tilted his head from behind the easel, "No." ”
Lu Li was immediately very disappointed when she heard this, she closed her mouth for a while, and didn't want to speak.
Yesterday, when Lin Lin asked her to ask her to do a model portrait today, she wanted to ask this at that time, but she was afraid of hearing the answer she didn't want to hear, so she couldn't help but ask.
You see, now that I asked, it was really not what I wanted to hear.
"Recently, if I have time, I have relied on memorization to pick up the manuscript, which should be similar to the unfinished one, and you can come and take a look at it when you take a break." Lin Lin saw the disappointed look on Lu Li's face, so he explained it to her.
Lu Li didn't feel much better because of this sentence, she actually really hoped that Lin Lin would continue to paint on the unfinished portrait, if not, she just felt different.
Half an hour passed quickly in silence.
Lin Lin stood up from behind the easel, stepped back to look at the picture, then looked at the model who had not spoken, and whispered with the amusement in his heart, "It's time to rest, you can come and have a look." ”
Lu Li's eyes rolled, he sat on the sofa and didn't move, but lowered his head and replied to Lin Li, "I'm too lazy to move, you can rest and continue, don't worry about me." ”
It's angry.
Lin Lin looked at Lu Li's hanging little head helplessly, not knowing what kind of caution was in that head, this emotion really changed.
No wonder the old saying goes, a woman's heart is as hard to figure out as a needle.
"Drink water, coffee?" Lin Lin pretended not to feel that Lu Li was unhappy, and walked to the table to drink some water.
Lu Li still didn't look up, and replied in a muffled voice that he didn't drink, and there was nothing else to say.
Five minutes later, Lin sat back in front of the easel and continued to paint. Lu Li also raised his head and returned to his previous posture, staring at the air in front of him with empty eyes, almost never looking at Lin Lone.
After another half an hour, Lu Li began to feel some numbness in her buttocks and thighs, and she glanced at Lin Lian's side quickly, thinking that she wanted to tell him to take a break.
If you are stubborn and silent, it is you who suffers.
As soon as she was about to speak, Lin Lin stood up from behind the easel first, "Rest, I'm also tired, and my eyes need to relax." ”
Lu Li immediately got up from the sofa, and the numbness in her legs immediately gave her a look, and when she wanted to take a step, she felt that the numbness in her legs seemed to be overpowered, and she couldn't walk at all.
Before the facial expression could be managed, Lu Li bared his teeth and grinned, all of which were seen by Lin Li.
Lin Lin didn't speak, he walked over directly and stretched out his hand to support Lu Li, "Your legs are numb, wait a while and then move." ”
Lu Li hurriedly put away the expression on his face and looked down at his two legs, "It's okay, you don't have to help me, it's okay." ”
Lin Lin didn't care about her, and still held on.
After a minute, Lu Li felt much better, she tried to take a step forward, Lin Lin felt that she could stand firm on her own, so she let go of her hand and stood aside, watching Lu Li take a cautious step forward as if she had just learned to walk.
"Walk from here to the easel, your legs should be all right and not numb, you can try ......" Lin Xiao said calmly and meaninglessly, and he wanted to walk back to the easel.
After a while, there was the sound of irregular footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, and Lin Lin bent the corners of his lips with his back to Lu Li, smiling like a child.
Bright light in the eyes.
