The red sun hung heavily on the horizon, from the clouds to the wilderness, all dyed with its intense colors of gold and purple. On the outdoor stainless steel faucet, a colorful halo is also reflected, and every drop of splashed tap water is like a red little sun, shining brightly.

"Ah, don't move, you go in and talk to them, I'll be alone!" Mother Shi knocked off the hand that was stretched into the cold water basin, but the hand still insisted on reaching in, "It's not the first time I've helped you wash vegetables." Chen Li rubbed a radish and sighed, "In the past, there were two vegetable fields in front and back, and there were endless vegetables in winter, but now I have to buy them." Shi's mother answered, "It's convenient to buy, how can I have time to farm now!" As the two were talking, Shi's mother suddenly stopped and stretched her ears back, and Chen Li also calmed down and listened when she saw this, as if a car was coming from a distance.

Before the two could speak, a black car had already stopped skillfully on the side of the road, and two people got out one after the other, and the person who came out of the passenger seat was still pressing the back of his left hand. Although the sun had not yet set, the evening light was blurry, Chen Li recognized Shi Jiaojiao, but she couldn't recognize the man who followed her, shook the water in her hand and asked Shi's mother, "Who?" Mother Shi didn't answer Chen Li's words, took a handful of coriander to meet her, and asked, "Why is it so late today, do you want to go tomorrow?" ”

Shi Jiaojiao threw the alcohol cotton into the trash can by the pool and said, "Yes, tomorrow for the last time." The town hospital was packed, and it would be nice if I could get in line in the afternoon. Mother Shi was just about to talk to Tang Jianyu when she heard Chen Li shouting and rushed up, "Teacher Tang! As soon as she shouted, three more people rushed out of the living room, and Father Shi followed behind. Mother Shi couldn't help but shrink her neck, raised the food in her hand and said, "You say, I cook." Then he stretched out his head and called to his husband, "Come and help me, and let them talk to the young people." Dad Shi had already found the apron and replied, "I was going to come out, and they are not outsiders, do they still need me to accompany them?" ”

A few people entered the living room, probably because of the guests, the air conditioner that had been purchased for a short time was finally willing to be turned on, and the room was warm. Chen Li carried Shi Jiaojiao's hand that had just been infused into the house first, and the little branch secretary who entered the door last closed the door. Zhou Jiyun looked back and said suspiciously: "What about my cousin?" Xiao Zhishu pointed to the kitchen and said with a smile: "What do you say? Before he could laugh, Tang Jianyu pushed the door in, and when he closed the door, he found that a room full of people were looking at him, silent.

Tang Jianyu knew what this group of people were holding back, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he asked lightly: "What's wrong?" Of course, the most unstable is Chen Li, she first glared at Shi Jiaojiao's cheeks, and then rushed to Tang Jianyu, half angry and half smiling, and asked: "I still have to ask you what's going on!" Tang Jianyu shook his head with a smile, Chen Li didn't talk to him much, and went to grind the stone Jiaojiao again, shouting: "Okay! Say, how long have you been hiding from us, and you have seen all the parents! Shi Jiaojiao hugged Chen Li's arm and begged for mercy, "Let's talk about it later!" ”

Zhou Jiyun and the little branch secretary came up to greet Tang Jianyu, and Chen Li asked a few people to find a place to sit down, and said to Shi Jiaojiao: "I'll go and pour them a glass of water." It means that Shi Jiaojiao also sat and waited for water to drink, and Shi Jiaojiao was very embarrassed by the scene just now, so she followed Chen Li out. Tang Jianyu couldn't help but smile and watched, until Shi Jiaojiao closed the door, then turned his head and asked the other two, "How did you get together?" The small branch secretary pointed to Zhou Jiyun, "Drove him back from the south." ”

Tang Jianyu nodded and stopped, and asked, "Why didn't Xiaolei come along?" Zhou Jiyun knew what Tang Jianyu cared about, and hurriedly said: "She is not in good health, so she doesn't dare to drive a long distance with us, so she asked her aunt and uncle to accompany her to come back by plane, the plane is fast, she will leave a few days late, and I booked a ticket for tomorrow, I guess I will give you news soon." Tang Jianyu nodded, already looking forward to Xia Lei's news. Xia Lei told me, aunt, they ......" Zhou Jiyun didn't finish speaking, but Tang Jianyu stretched out his hand to stop the conversation, and soon Shi Jiaojiao opened the door with a few empty cups, and let Chen Li, who was carrying a pot of hot water, in.

"Beware of the burn!" Tang Jianyu saw that Chen Li was a little struggling to hold the kettle, and unconsciously leaned into Shi Jiaojiao's hand, quickly got up and grabbed the doorknob, took the pot in Chen Li's hand, and let Shi Jiaojiao get out. Chen Li glared at the little branch secretary and said, "Look at how careful Teacher Tang is." The little branch secretary looked at Zhou Jiyun and smiled temperlessly. Tang Jianyu was just about to close the door, Shi Jiaojiao shook her hand and said, "My mother will come over soon." As she was talking, Mother Shi had already walked to the door with a large pot of soup.

Tang Jianyu opened the door enough to pass, the two juniors on the sofa quickly stood up and carefully took the hot pot, Shi's mother let go of her hand and turned to place the cooking utensils, while saying: "I don't have time today, just scald the hot pot, it's lively and convenient!" The little branch secretary carried the pot with one hand, pulled the wiring board of the electromagnetic pot that was pressed with the other, and said with a smile: "It's too grand, it's still a big bone broth!" Mother Shi smiled even more, "It's still the soup soup that came out on the sixth day of the new year!" ”

Chen Li set up the dishes and chopsticks, Shi Jiaojiao ran over to open the kettle to take a look, only to find out what kind of boiling water was inside, full of white meat and bone broth. Tang Jianyu saw that everyone had their own division of labor, so he went to the kitchen and brought the same ingredients with Father Shi. A pot of soup, red, green, and green dishes, with homemade sauces, is the most satisfying and fiery feast, and a few young people can't wait to sit down.

Mother Shi swapped the position of a cabbage in front of Tang Jianyu with a plate of homemade sausages in front of her, and said to Zhou Jiyun: "Lei Lei didn't catch up, she likes my dishes the most!" "Ah, this man is really eccentric!" Chen Li put down the orange juice in her hand and said to Shi Jiaojiao with a grin: "Listen, what is in front of you is smelly, and what you can't see is fragrant!" Say it as if we both don't like it. Mother Shi couldn't help but pat Chen Li's head and said, "Peng Peng is in elementary school, and you are still coquettish with me!" Chen Li pouted, "You are my aunt, Chen Pengpeng is in college, I can also be coquettish with you!" As he spoke, he winked at the little branch secretary sitting opposite, making the room laugh.

Everything was ready, and Daddy Shi took the lead in raising a glass and wishing a happy new year. After taking their seats, the hungry people couldn't wait to put their favorite ingredients into the boiling fresh soup, chatting while eating. Chen Li moved her eyes, and suddenly called "Brother Tang", not only Tang Jianyu, but the whole table was surprised to cast her eyes, she smiled angrily, and said angrily: "You can keep your work secret, what do I have to do with Jiaojiao, I haven't seen through the wind at all!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Mother Shi and said, "Auntie, do you know? In the autumn, our Shi Jiaojiao also told me bitterly and hatefully that she is probably going to become a monk in this life! "Nonsense! Big New Year! Mother Shi glared at Chen Li with squinted eyes when she heard this, and defended her daughter and the two, "They are in a special situation, not as good as you." If you don't get the approval of your family, no matter how good your friends are, it's not easy to talk casually! ”

Chen Li had a teachable expression on her face, pulled the corners of her mouth and nodded solemnly, "That's it, such a big thing, I must tell my family about it at the first time." Mother Shi glanced at her daughter, her eyes fell on Tang Jianyu between Xiaozhishu and Zhou Jiyun, and her gaze was already very soft. This is Chen Li's ingenious way to tell Shi Jiaojiao's parents that they never wanted to deceive their parents, and what they want most is their parents' support. Shi Jiaojiao was grateful to Chen Li for her careful care.

Shi Jiaojiao is still infusion, she can only eat the porridge prepared by Shi's mother, she has been eating it for several days, her mouth is so light that she can fly out of a bird, facing a table of delicious food, she can only rely on talking to relieve it, just take Chen Li to start the question, "Let's not talk about anything else, what are you doing today?" New Year's greetings don't bring tea ceremonies! At the mention of this, the little branch secretary who had just made a piece of fish fillet was not busy eating, holding the bowl and asking Father Shi: "Uncle, is the store open on the tenth day of the new year?" I want to book a private room, so I'll make a menu with you! ”
