Chapter 52, Warm Home.
In the evening, the plane slowly descended to the destination of the flight, Y City International Airport.
Yan Xi pulled the suitcase from afar and heard someone shouting at the pick-up gate 'Xiaoxi~~' Following the voice, a young and handsome man was waving the red sign in his hand at her, on the sign was a vigorous and powerful calligraphy, which was written with her name, she held her forehead for three seconds and sped up her pace.
"Xiaoxi~Xiaoxi~~" The young man's slightly excited voice attracted everyone's attention.
"Xiao Hangzi......" Yan Xi walked up to him and begged for mercy, "Don't shout, don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed." Unceremoniously withdrawing the cards from his hand, "What is this?" I've watched you grow up, and it's not that I don't know you, are you idle. ”
In the summer of ten years ago, when the Yan family's restaurant was not yet a small restaurant, 13-year-old Chu Hang passed by in front of the restaurant, Xu is food is too fragrant, Xu is Chu Hang is too hungry, he saw a table of guests leaving, so he slipped into the restaurant and grabbed the leftovers on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, Yan's father Yan Zhende took the plate to serve the guests and happened to see this scene.
Yan Zhende saw that he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a black and thin little face, a tall nose bridge, long hair messy as if he had not been haircut for a long time, a pair of big eyes flashed under his thick eyebrows, and his black eyes flashed with incomparably clear light.
After inquiring, I learned that after the death of his grandfather who depended on him half a year ago, he wandered along the road in the countryside without support, Yan Zhende not only took him in, but also sponsored him to go to school, treating him like half a son, Chu Hang is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, regards Yan's father and mother as his reborn parents, and after graduation, he helps Yan Zhende manage the trivial affairs of the restaurant.
"Who watched who grew up?" Chu Hang took back the card and shook it in front of her, grinning and revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Didn't I just want you to see me at a glance?" You see, how conspicuous. ”
"This sign is less than one-tenth of your voice." Yan Xi pushed the suitcase to him, "Let's go!" ”
"Xiaoxi, put on your hat." Chu Hang took out a beige knitted hat from his arms and put it on her head.
There is also a big fur ball on the top of the off-white ear protection knit hat, which is weirdly cute to wear.
"I haven't seen you for a year and I still know how to take care of people!" Yan Xi straightened his hat and said indignantly: "Yan Xichen, that guy, didn't you say that you were coming to pick me up?" How can I call you, but I can call you handy! ”
"Xichen's hotel picked up a few tour groups today, and he really couldn't get out, so I volunteered." Chu Hang pushed the suitcase and followed her.
"What about you! Aren't you also us now, Jufulou, the famous Manager Chu, why are you so idle. Yan Xi hooked the corners of his mouth to tease him.
"My uncle gave me half a day off." Chu Hang grabbed his hair and smiled a little honestly.
"The old man is pretending to be a public servant!"
"Don't say that, uncle." Chu Hang couldn't listen to others say the slightest bad thing about Yan Zhende.
"Look at your little look." Yan Xi smiled and asked, "Are the friends okay for more than a year?" ”
"It's all good."
"I'm going to go shopping with Xiaoqin, find Sister Ying to drink, and ask Uncle Yuan to fry us with snacks."
"Let's go home first, and my aunt has prepared a table for you to eat your favorite dishes."
"Is it snowing outside today?"
"Nope."
"I haven't seen snow in a long time."
"It's good that there's no snow, otherwise would you lie down and roll twice?"
"Almost!"
got out of the airport and got into Chu Airlines' car.
Yan Xi asked him while fastening his seat belt, "Xiao Hangzi, have you dealt with someone?" ”
"Not yet." Chu Hang glanced at her.
"Why aren't you a target yet?" Yan Xi looked at him with a gossipy face.
"There is no suitable one." Chu Hang shrugged.
"How high is your vision?" Yan Xi quipped: "I heard that those girls in our restaurant are salivating for Manager Chu, and none of them are like them?" ”
"Nope." Chu Hang blurted out without thinking.
"You don't have any hidden diseases, do you?" Yan Xi covered his mouth in surprise. "Do you like men?"
"............" Chu Hang laughed out loud listening to her brain-opening words, "What do you think! I'm a normal man, I don't have hidden diseases and I don't like men. ”
"Okay! Then the object is earlier, the boss is not small, and the vision is not too high. Yan Xi persuaded bitterly.
"Got it, housekeeper."
The silver-gray sedan sped on her strange and familiar road, long after a long absence.
When I arrived at the Yan family's suite in Y City, the night was falling low, and the winter night always came very early and was very long.
The door of the Yan family was not closed, presumably because Yan's mother, Qiao Yuhui, was anxious, opened the door again and again, and finally simply did not close.
The green plants on both sides of the door, the leaves are not stained with a trace of dust, and they are as elegant and green as ever.
"Mom, I'm back, Mom, your baby daughter is back."
Yan Xiren arrived before the sound arrived, Yan's mother heard her voice in the kitchen, and she didn't have time to untie her apron with a smile, so she turned off the fire and went out, "Xiaoxi~"
"Mom......" Yan Xi dragged a long tail note and threw herself into Yan's mother's arms and hugged her tightly.
No matter how old a child is, he will always be a child in the eyes of his parents.
No matter how old a child is, he can always be spoiled in the arms of his parents.
"Show Mom." Mother Yan held her little face and said distressedly: "Why are you thin again, haven't you eaten well, so that you don't want to be alone in City A and skip three meals." ”
"How can I not continue to eat three meals, I eat well, I obviously eat fat, Mom, you see that my waist is thick." Yan Xi gestured at his waist, thinking that Ling Xingyu was stealing teachers everywhere all day long and changing ways to cook delicious food for her, if she heard her mother say that she didn't have three meals in City A, Ling Xingyu, who fed her, was afraid that she would cry out aggrievedly.
"Fat? Where is the fat? Come here, mom will serve you a bowl of soup first, and your dad will be back in a while. Yan's mother took her hand and walked to the dining table, turned back to Chu Hang and said, "Xiaohang, you also come over and drink a bowl of soup first." ”
"Yes, auntie." Chu Hang followed to the table.
The table was filled with dishes of all colors and aromas, and they were steaming.
"It smells so good! Mom, did my sister-in-law bring the baby to work today? ”
"That's right! Your sister-in-law just called back and said that she and your brother were back. Mother Yan brought out two bowls of pork ribs and lotus root soup, "You two eat first!" ”
"No, wait for Dad and them to come back and eat together, I'll drink soup first." Yan Xi drank the mellow soup and praised Yan's mother, "It's still the best soup stewed by my mother, and it has the taste of my mother." ”
The things cooked by my mother may not be the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but just ordinary home-cooked dishes, but every dish gives my mother a taste, but no matter how delicious it is, you will get tired of eating it for a long time, only when you leave your mother, you can't eat the food cooked by your mother and can't drink the rich soup cooked by your mother, you will know how much you miss the home-cooked food cooked by your mother, whether it is delicious or not, because it is a meal cooked by your mother, and the meal has the taste of your mother.
"That's right, my aunt's stewed soup is the most fragrant." Chu Hang echoed.
"If it's delicious, you can eat more." Yan's mother smiled happily: "I'll call your dad and ask him when he will be home." ”
"Auntie, don't call, I called my uncle when I was downstairs, and he said he was almost home."
As soon as Chu Hang's words fell, the door of Yan's house was opened, and Yan's father returned.
"Dad~~" Yan Xi put down the soup bowl in his hand and ran out in a hurry.
"This temperament, why is it still very arrogant." Father Yan was just about to change his shoes, and Yan Xi threw himself into his arms.
"Dad, you're obviously very happy, you can't stop smiling." Yan Xi let go of his hand and helped Yan's father take the cotton slippers, "Dad changed his shoes and came in to eat, Mom cooked a table of good dishes, I didn't even put down the chopsticks, waiting for you to come back and eat together!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Yan Xichen and Ruan Hanlu also came back with three-year-old Yan Boyao.
"Xiaoxi, we're back!" Ruan Hanlu said to Xiao Boyao in Yan Xichen's arms: "Baby, my aunt is back, call my aunt quickly." ”
"Ouch, our little baby, little Boyao, come to the arms of the big baby." Yan Xi opened his hands to the little nephew in Yan Xichen's arms.
They video once or twice a week, so Yan Boyao is no stranger to her aunt, and he generously stretched out his hand to her.
"Stinky and shameless, the old girl dares to call herself a big baby." Yan Xichen scolded her while changing her shoes.
"It's almost the New Year, Yan Xichen, you can't say something nice, if it weren't for my mother telling me when I was a child, I can't swear when the New Year is approaching, this baby would have scolded you with swear words." Yan Xi hugged his little nephew and looked like I didn't know as much as you.
"Ouch hey! It's really that the IQ comes up after the hair is cut! Yan Xichen stepped forward and stretched out his hand to flick her head.
"Why are you so annoying?"
Yan Xi put his hand into his open coat, pinched a piece of meat on his stomach, and gave him a hundred-eight-degree rotation with a twist of his wrist, and Yan Xichen, who was in pain, grinned and gasped.
"Old girl, it's getting heavier and heavier."
"You brothers and sisters, why are you still the same, pinch as soon as you meet, let's go in and eat!" Ruan Hanlu took Yan Xi and walked to the dining table together.
"Did Xiao Boyao miss his aunt!" Yan Xi sat down on the chair with the baby in her arms, teasing her little nephew, "Call Auntie, Auntie will give you candy to eat in a while." ”
"Aunt~" Yan Boyao shouted softly in her arms, almost melting her little liver.
"Xiao Boyao is so good, there is a lollipop in my aunt's bag, and after eating for a while, my aunt will give it to you to eat."
"Xiaoxi, let's eat! Put him in the baby chair to eat. Ruan Hanlu held a children's plate in her hand.
"Okay, our little Boyao is going to eat." Yan Xi put his little nephew in the baby chair.
"Let's eat!"
When they grew up, the children's wings became stiff and they wanted to soar alone, so they broke away from the protection of their parents, spread their wings and flew by themselves, opening a chapter of their own planned life, and since then they have gathered less and separated more from their parents.
The Chinese New Year gave them a reason to go home and reunite with their parents.
Yan's mother made a big table of dishes full of things that Yan Xi used to love to eat, Dongpo meat, sauce elbow, braised lion's head, fried eggplant box, stuffed pepper, sweet and sour pork ribs, salt and pepper shrimp, steamed sea bass, garlic baby cabbage, a table full of love.
