Chapter 101: A Reliable Man
In the afternoon of the next day, Su Guo took half a day off to pick up Lao Su at the train station, and Li Shuwen, who said that he would go with him, suddenly called before leaving and said that the company had something urgent to deal with, Su Guo declined his proposal to send a driver to pick him up, and drove to the train station by himself.
The train was delayed for a while, Su Guo was waiting at the exit, and when he saw Lao Su pulling his suitcase out of it slowly, he was secretly glad that Li Shuwen didn't come.
"Comrade Su, what did you get stimulated by or did you take the wrong medicine?"
It's no wonder that Su Guo has this question, Lao Su, who hasn't seen him for more than half a year, has grown long hair, which is slightly longer than Su Guo's current bob, and he has a small braid on the back of his head after perming and curling; A white T-shirt with a skull on top is draped over a black punk-style leather jacket, and the bottom is cropped pants of the same color with white skate shoes...... Su Guo stared at the buttons on the old Su leather coat that were dangling and still shining with metallic luster, and swallowed with difficulty.
"You're the wrong drug!" Lao Su took off the toad mirror on his face and knocked it on Su Guo's head, "Your father and I take 'Rejuvenating Pill' even if I take medicine!" ”
Su Guo covered his forehead and took the suitcase in Lao Su's hand, and followed behind him, like the embarrassment of a little assistant to a big star.
Because of Lao Su's arrival, a family party was arranged in the evening.
At the dinner table, Ms. Qian asked Su Guo why Li Shuwen didn't come, and Su Guo said that his company couldn't come because of something temporary. Ms. Qian's inquiring eyes kept staring at Su Guo, Su Guo knew that her mother must be afraid that she would mess up a good object again, so she was silently denouncing her, and Su Guo didn't bother to pay attention to Ms. Qian. Originally, she was not the protagonist of today's party, and she didn't want her to become the main tone of today's party.
"Yo, Su Jianhua, I said that you were stimulated by something?" Fortunately, Ms. Qian quickly adjusted the target of her denunciation.
Although Lao Su couldn't resist Su Guo in the end, he changed his shiny leather coat into a suit jacket, but this suit was slim and trendy, and he looked young and handsome when he wore it. Ms. Qian is such a beauty-loving and confident lady originally wanted to give her ex-husband a dismount that she was still young and beautiful on an occasion like today, but she didn't want her ex-husband to compare herself to life, so how could she swallow this breath!
"That's right, I'm stimulated," Lao Su leaned back in the chair with his chest hugged and looked like a domineering president, "Life is so delicate, the beauties are so lovely, and I'm in the prime of life, why can't I do whatever I want?" ”
"It's still a good year, do whatever you want, I'm phew! Aren't you just old and still a demon when you're old?! What kind of hair do you look at? Neither men nor women! Ms. Qian changed the image of a virtuous and virtuous mother-in-law in front of her son-in-law, and bombarded her ex-husband at the dinner table without any image.
"You still have the face to talk about me! The photo in your circle of friends is dressed like that, and you're scratching your head and posing......"
Lao Su was naturally not to be outdone, he had already had enough of Ms. Qian's "poisonous tongue" and "bullying" when he was not divorced, and he had been divorced for so many years, so he couldn't stand her anger anymore, so he didn't care about her image. From the divorce at that time to the later remarriage of Ms. Qian, Lao Su began to accuse each other all the way, and no one could interject at all.
Su Guo and Su Ran glanced at each other and silently lowered their heads to eat, the most calm and relaxed person in the audience belonged to classmate Wu Zhen, pouring tea for the father-in-law and mother-in-law who were fighting, picking vegetables for his wife, and not forgetting to eat seriously.
"Hey, I said what happened to you and that big boss?" In the background of the quarrel between his parents and his parents, Su Ran asked Su Guo.
"That's good."
"Is that guy reliable?" Su Ran had met Li Shuwen, and he had accompanied Ms. Qian to help with the marriage before, and he had met with him. It's just that Su Guo didn't officially bring him to meet his parents, and today he originally wanted to introduce him to everyone when he came back, but he didn't come. In Su Ran's view, although the big boss of a company is usually busy with affairs, if it is an important occasion party, people like them know that they should not be absent casually.
"How can I be reliable?" Su Guo asked rhetorically, "With your Wu Zhen as a benchmark, what other man in this world can be called reliable?" ”
"You finally said something reliable," Wu Zhen crossed his hands on the dining table, and said patiently to Su Guo despite Su Guo's expression of rolling his eyes towards the ceiling, "Is a man reliable, he didn't say anything in front of you, or you know what he did." Rather, what he says and does is for your own good, but you don't know it at all. ”
"It's so profound, I don't understand."
Wu Zhen knew that she would say this, so he pushed a plate of vegetables in front of him in front of Su Guo, "Look, it's like this plate of crab roe tofu, you think it's delicious because this tofu is white and tender, and the crab roe is delicious, right?" ”
Su Guo nodded innostly, not understanding what this white-collar elite wanted to express.
"But did you know that there's another thing in your favorite dish that makes it delicious?"
"Su Ran, do you like to talk like this metaphor when you talk like this?"
"That's because you're stupid, and he's afraid that you won't understand the analogy." Su Ran disagreed.
"You two are really ...... With a face! ”
"Thank you for the compliment," Wu Zhen was very helpful to Su Guo's words, and his explanation of Su Guo's classmates also became serious, "This crab roe tofu that you love most is because it adds salted egg yolk to it." ”
"Salted egg yolk?" Su Guo always thought that the white one was tofu and the yellow one was crab roe, and all the umami flavor of this dish should come from crab roe, and she had never tasted the taste of salted egg yolk.
"It's like what you call a 'reliable man', if a man is really reliable and genuinely good for you, you may not even know what he has done for you. Just like this salted egg yolk, it seems ordinary, you haven't even tasted its taste, but it is precisely because of its existence that you fall in love with this dish. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about." After listening to Wu Zhen's words, Su Guo didn't react much, and still lowered his head to eat. 、
Looking at her like this, Su Ran looked at Wu Zhen with a worried face.
Wu Zhen quietly held Su Ran's hand and replied with a "don't worry" expression.
In fact, how could Su Guo not understand the meaning of Wu Zhen's words? But whether you understand or not and whether you don't care are two different things, even if Su Guo knew that there was a salted egg yolk in the crab roe tofu, she would not call this dish "salted egg yolk tofu", because the crab roe is the protagonist of this dish, it is the essence, and it is the main reason to attract everyone to eat this dish. As for salted egg yolks...... It's just a side dish, and if the person who cooks it makes up his mind and doesn't want to say it, then the person who eats the dish doesn't have to find out even if he knows it.
When I got home after eating, Lao Su was so angry that he took a shower and fell asleep early because of a quarrel with Ms. Qian, and was awakened from sleeping on the sofa in the middle of the night and wanted to go to his daughter's room to get the bed quilt, but found that there was no one in the room at all.
Su Guo opened the door to find that the light in the living room was on, and there was a spicy smell wafting from the kitchen.
Lao Su came out of the kitchen with a small aluminum pot, and saw his daughter standing at the door stupidly wearing a sportswear and a sweatshirt and hat on her head, and hurriedly greeted, "Go take a bath, come out and drink a bowl of ginger tea after washing." ”
