The last time Fu Lichen came to Daddy's hot pot restaurant was four or five years ago.

At that time, it was just a sudden thought, and I didn't even walk in when I came to the door of the store.

I don't want to, and there's no point in going in.

Fu Lichen was thinking about it, but someone slapped him heavily on the back, and he frowned slightly.

I heard Deng Liangwu's voice smile heartily: "What are you doing standing stupidly at the door!" Still not in yet? ”

Fu Lichen turned his head, met Deng Liangwu's gaze, and shouted softly: "Uncle Deng." ”

Deng Liangwu's ridiculous laughter came to an abrupt end.

He looked at the young man in front of him who was a fist taller than himself, his eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, familiar and unfamiliar.

Through this face, he was in a trance back to more than ten years ago, and the person who laughed and talked to him was still the comrade-in-arms who was honest and cold, and made him admire and look up.

This time it was Deng Liangwu's turn to be in a trance, just looking at Fu Lichen's face and not speaking.

Fu Lichen probably guessed the reason why Deng Liangwu would be like this, and he didn't break it, but just said, "Uncle Deng, go in!" ”

The two chose a private room - in fact, in the past, they preferred to eat hot pot in the lobby, so that there was an atmosphere, but today the two have something to talk about, so it is not good to sit in public.

After Deng Liangwu sat down, a cup of tea was served in front of him, which was poured by Fu Lichen, just like every time before.

The little boys have grown into big men, no longer with a pink face and a weak appearance, and even give people a feeling of indifference and alienation.

But with just such an action, Deng Liangwu couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, it's still the little ghost he is familiar with!

Deng Liangwu went to the last bit of restraint, directly called two catties of liquor, and greeted Fu Lichen, "Good boy, where have you been all these years?" I've been looking forward to seeing you for many years, and today we won't get drunk or go home! ”

After Fu Lichen asked clearly, Deng Liangwu came by car, and then readily agreed.

"Hah! You kid, after becoming a lawyer, you really know a lot, and you know that you can't drive while drinking? ”

As a public official, Deng Liangwu certainly knows that drunk driving is suspected of committing a crime now, and he will also be very careful not to drink and drive, and even use this as an excuse to push a lot of drinking bureaus.

But it was the first time that someone was seriously asked whether he had the conditions for drinking, and he couldn't help but ridicule Fu Lichen again.

Fu Lichen's usual reaction was still no reaction.

Directly put the menu in front of Deng Liangwu and motioned to the other party to order.

Deng Liangwu was a little discouraged by his unruly attitude, and muttered: "It's so cute! ”

Fu Lichen smiled slightly and reminded Deng Liangwu: "Uncle Deng, I have grown up. ”

Deng Liangwu glared, "You ...... like this when you were a child"

Don't look at Deng Liangwu's majestic and rigid appearance, he usually likes to hold it, but in fact, he was a person who loved to laugh and tease children when he was young.

Naturally, the child of Fu Lichen's friend's family is often the object of his teasing, but Fu Lichen is a big ghost, and he still learns Fu Hong's indifference and self-control, so he can't be amused at all!

Fu Lichen didn't refute either, and poured a glass of wine for Deng Liangwu and himself.

With snacks and food, I quietly listened to Deng Liangwu chatter about the past, and occasionally said a word or two.

Deng Liangwu went up as soon as he drank, his face was flushed, but his eyes were full of light, as if he was nostalgic.

He took a sip of wine, and finally couldn't help but talk about Fu Hong: "I think back then, when your father and I were still recruits, we didn't have such good conditions, don't even think about drinking wine and eating meat, it's endless training all day and night."

Finally got a vacation, and the two of us went straight here every time, like now, first two catties of liquor and a large plate of mutton.

Don't look at your father's straight face all day long, but he was naughty when he was young, and he was the most naughty in the class, and he had to be punished and trained for more than 20 days a month, and the rest of the days were because of vacation! Ha ha!

But he won't be able to meet your mother if he doesn't get into trouble, they were standard heroes to save beauty at that time......"

Speaking of the past, the more Deng Liangwu talked about it, the more excited he became, there was no discipline at all, he just thought of what to say.

It's just that in the end, this big man who has been in the army for decades and is now a deputy department-level cadre seems to have tears in his eyes.

Fu Lichen has been very quiet, and in the end, he almost pursed his lips and stopped talking.

When he heard Deng Liangwu mention Fu Mu Lin Yanyue, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but he quickly relaxed again.

Deng Liangwu didn't notice it at all, immersed in his own memories.

In the end, both men fell silent.

After sitting relative for nearly ten minutes, Deng Liangwu wiped his face and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, eat, eat!." ”

The two of them continued to move their chopsticks, but the atmosphere in the room was a little dull for a while.

Deng Liangwu talked about another topic: "Speaking of which, your peach blossom luck is exactly the same as when you were a child!" It's so attractive everywhere you go. I've known Yaoyao for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen her so actively introduce another person to Zhang Luo!

Her conditions are very good, you have to take advantage of it! ”

When people reach this age, they always like to be a matchmaker, and Deng Liangwu is no exception.

He originally liked Qin Yaoyao a lot, but now that he sees Fu Lichen again, he only feels that they are talented and beautiful, and everything is good.

However, Fu Lichen frowned, shook his head, and said calmly and surely: "Uncle Deng, you misunderstood. I have no personal relationship with Miss Qin. ”

Deng Liangwu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Fu Lichen to leave the relationship so clean.

didn't even regard Qin Yaoyao as a friend.

But he quickly reacted, Fu Lichen didn't like Qin Yaoyao at all when he said this.

"It's a pity!" Deng Liangwu sighed secretly.

This time, I'm afraid that the flowers are falling and the water is ruthless.

Although he is optimistic about Qin Yaoyao, he will not interfere in the feelings of his children.

only smiled evilly and continued, "You don't have a personal relationship with Yao Yao, so do you have a personal relationship with the lawyer Xu who is behind you?" ”

"Ahem!" Fu Lichen choked on the chili pepper and coughed twice before he could barely maintain his image.

But the look of consternation on his face could not be concealed.

Deng Liangwu rarely saw the deep and indifferent Fu Lichen showing an embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but smile even more happily.

Slowly teased: "It seems that this lawyer Xu is your 'personal friend'!" ”

Fu Lichen's face showed a little suspicious flush, but he was blocked in front of him as soon as he lifted it, which made it impossible to distinguish his expression.

I just saw that he took a sip of wine lightly, his thin lips opened slightly, but he didn't say anything to deny it.

Deng Liangwu was amazed, and secretly said that this small Xiaoice block had finally opened up.

After thinking about Xu Xiaxi's performance a little, Deng Liangwu nodded secretly - well, her vision is not bad, she looks like a lovely girl.

He felt good for his old friend, but another worry came to him.

Deng Liangwu couldn't help but glance at Fu Lichen a few more times, and stopped talking.

Fu Lichen couldn't find out, but he just didn't know, and he didn't tell the truth.

Instead, he finally got down to business: "As I told you on the phone before, about the ship transfer registration in Beijing, if I ...... it"

Both of their faces became cautious, and they were talking about serious things.

By the time they had negotiated, the hot pot soup had almost burned to the bottom.

The two of them also ate about the same, so they didn't ask the waiter to add soup, and directly paid for the daddy hot pot restaurant.

Before parting, Deng Liangwu couldn't help but pat Fu Lichen's shoulder again, and said appreciatively: "Good boy, it's really weird and clever, it can make you think of such a method......

He pondered for a while, and then agreed, "This is not a violation, I can help you!" ”

Fu Lichen smiled and sincerely thanked Deng Liangwu: "Thank you Uncle Deng!" ”

Deng Liangwu waved his hand, "Be polite to me!" ”

He looked at Fu Lichen's handsome figure, sighed, and finally expressed his guilt, "When your father had an accident, I knew it too late, and when I finally contacted your mother, I learned that your mother had remarried, and you went to study in other places and didn't see anyone."

So I've been regretting all these years that I couldn't help your mother and son in the first place. Now that you can come to me for help, I can't be happy, not to mention that what you said is just a gesture for me, and even if I don't have it, it's only a matter of time, and it can't be regarded as help. ”

When Fu Lichen heard Deng Liangwu mention Fu's mother, a flash of mockery flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He only whispered: "It's not your fault! It's good to remember your father! ”

Deng Liangwu said with emotion: "Your father is such an outstanding person, I will never forget him in my life!" ”

After Fu Lichen put Deng Liangwu in the taxi, he did not leave immediately, but slowly walked back along the sidewalk.

The street is close to the river, and the summer evening breeze brings a slight coolness.

But Fu Lichen didn't know if it was because of the wine, so he didn't feel cool, but felt an unspeakable boredom in his heart.

Leaning against the railing on the embankment, he took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took two deep breaths before feeling the stuffiness in his chest ease slightly.

He just looked at the neon glow across the river, and his always indifferent face unexpectedly revealed a trace of confusion.

Fu Lichen has never been a sentimental person, but I don't know if I drank some wine today and was disturbed by old things.

The invincible lawyer Fu is also in a dilemma.

Fu Lichen stood motionless like this, and he didn't withdraw his gaze until the cigarette burned out, burning his fingers.

Glancing at his burned fingers, he didn't move, only lightly 'tsk', walked a few steps, and extinguished the cigarette on the trash can.

Habitually adjusting his coat, Fu Lichen returned to calm, as if the confusion just now was just an illusion.

He returned to the main road and hailed a taxi.

The taxi was traveling in the opposite direction to the hotel where he was staying.

Barrister Fu didn't return late at night, so he didn't know that someone had been waiting at the door of his room for half an hour, and he was on guard in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel for another hour.

But he was not even seen.

Kang Jing yawned, watching Qin Yaoyao frequently look at the gate, and always retracting her gaze in disappointment, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's almost ten o'clock, we don't even know where Lawyer Fu went, do we have to wait?" ”
