He couldn't seem to wait for her to respond, but he lowered his head and kissed her again.

Ren Yan's mind is sober, sober to the point of being a little weird, and she can remember a lot of people and things in a flash, and in Baoding or Beijing, she runs in her head like a marquee.

In the end, they all became white shadows like fog, and what came out of the fog was only the man in front of him.

She was absent-minded, Gu Tingwen finally noticed it, and stopped to stroke her face: "Don't be afraid." ”

He left the bed, doing nothing, and even picked up the cuffs he had just thrown on the ground and put them in the box, and put them in a proper position.

The wind blew from the open window, and the coolness soaked the sweat on his skin, and he was worried that the bones of his body would be blown cold, so he turned around and found a clean dress to cover Ren Yan's body.

The little girl's body was buried in a wide shirt, her arms were wrapped around her sleeves, and she looked at him with wet eyes: "You, are you really not drunk?" ”

He always smiled at her: "No, I don't drink much, but I don't get drunk easily." ”

"It's good, it's not like me, you can't get a little bit of it."

He sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand, and spoke to her very patiently: "Eating too much wine hurts your body, and we are good to be rouge." ”

In his eyes, she was good at everything.

Ren Yan smiled, leaned sideways to hold his hand, and brought it into his shirt little by little; She was afraid, her heart was beating too fast under her palm.

The beating fire led to a soaring flame, eventually engulfing both of them.

The night was dark, and he never said a word again.

Ren Yan couldn't see his expression clearly, he could only feel his eyebrows, eyes, heartbeat and body passing in his palm.

It's all hot, so hot that she doesn't have any more senses.

But fortunately, he never let go of her hand, trying to maintain the last politeness and comfort in this way, and slowly taught her the affection and beauty in the girl.

When they left Shantou, they were accompanied by colleagues from the newspaper, and Shen Boyang came to see them off, because his wife was unwell and could not return to Guangzhou together.

Guangzhou Railway Station was already greeted by someone who took them back to their temporary apartment, and invited Gu Tingwen to write an article to publish it, asking the city hall to rescue them, and to suspend the war between the north and the south to face this natural disaster.

But the feedback received had little effect, and for this reason, several ordinary and elegant gentlemen could not hide their anxiety and resentment, and at dawn, they still sat around the living room and had heated discussions.

Ren Yan always gets up early and takes refuge in the kitchen after washing.

On the day he came to Guangzhou, Gu Tingwen's colleagues hired two trusted cooks to help out in the apartment to deal with their fussy and unambitious gentlemen; This made Ren Yan happy, and he discussed cooking skills with these two masters every day.

"Miss Ren, morning." The older Master Lu was washing the Jiang Mi that had been soaked in the basin all night, and when he listened to the sound, he turned back to greet her.

"Morning, Master Lu, do you need my help?"

At a glance, she saw four or five blue crabs lying in the basket, with sharp and flat crab lids supporting jagged edges, and holding a pestle into the crab eyes, and the sesame-like eyes were retracted vigorously, and then arched twice.

"This is a sturgeon, steam rice immediately."

There are many species of seafood here, such as the sturgeon, which is an uncommon fish in the north if you don't see it with your own eyes.

For a few days she had been busy identifying and remembering their uses, and occasionally she had time to do them so that she could fully understand what it was like, and now she had the same thing.

She was curious and anxious to ask for advice.

Master Lu Lele said to her: "Don't look at the sturgeon that grows fierce, it is very suitable for nourishing and nourishing the body after steaming, but the sturgeon red paste in summer is not fat, and you need to wait until early spring to have the largest physique." ”

He cleaned three or five fat emerald green lotus leaves and spread them into several layers of steamers: "If it is inconvenient to find lotus leaves, bamboo leaves, basket leaves, and even song leaves are fine, but the taste of steamed rice is not as sweet as lotus leaves." ”

Ren Yan listened to the fire while heating the oil and fried the green onion and ginger, and then poured the diced dried scallops, sea mussels and oysters into the pot and stir-fried them to produce a fresh fragrance; When the heat was ready, Chef Lu put the carrots and shiitake mushrooms into the pot.

Finally, pour soaked Jiang rice and green and plump peas, Jiang rice and ingredients are heated in oil, and then add prepared spices and Shao wine to mix well out of the pot, spread on the lotus leaves.

The sturgeon in the basket picked out five big and thick ones, brushed them clean, lifted the shell and peeled off the gills, cut four petals on the opposite side, and then patted the majestic crab claws, each embedded in the river rice.

The water was steamed on the stove, and the ginger shreds and peppercorns were put in the soup, which baked out the fragrance, and slowly shuttled in the river rice, moisturizing things silently.

The lotus leaves in the steamer are fragrant, and the fierce seafood is simmered with a handful of river rice, and it is naturally a fresh and fragrant flavor when it comes out of the pot; The rice has been soaked and boiled for a long time, and the soup is just right to wrap the rich and delicate freshness of the seafood, and a small bite is already sweet and soft.

Ren Yan had been to the market a few days ago, and he was eager to move the live seafood home one by one to cook, after all, after returning to Beijing, these living creatures had already lost their original freshness after a long journey and then put them in the pot, and no matter how superb their cooking skills could not make up for it.

She cherished these steamed rice baskets and personally took the steamers out.

When the talkative gentlemen saw her, some of them turned their backs apologetically, or took off their glasses and bowed their heads to hide their anguish, and only got up to greet her when they had slightly restrained their emotions.

She smiled back: "It's been a busy night, eat some cushions." ”

He Quanlai took the object in her hand and spread it on the coffee table, she had time to take a look at Gu Tingwen, with a smile in her eyes.

The gentlemen who had relieved themselves had a narrow mind, and when they walked over, they either teased Gu Tingwen with vague words, or silently looked at them or touched their shoulders and elbows, and kindly reminded them.

Just now, the crowd was angry, and this will be a teenager again, and the companions have a sweetheart, trying every means to see the excitement, and trying their best to achieve it.

The overwhelming kindness, Gu Tingwen was also happy to accept it, got up calmly on the sofa, shook Ren Yan's hand and returned to the bedroom, and covered the door.

The door was closed, and I listened to the laughter outside.

"Boss Ren, get up so early."

He sat on the arm of the couch, leaned over and kissed the top of her hair, laughing and teasing her.

Ren Yan's understanding of himself is very clear: "I am busy with nothing, I have Hot Wheels on my legs and feet, I can't be idle, and being a shopkeeper is also a running life, and I will wake up at a while." ”

He still smiled, stroking her hair.

When she got up that morning, she stopped combing the girl's two long braids, and put her hair in a bun and felt old-fashioned, so she simply tied her hair high, and cut it shorter when she arrived in Guangzhou to be satisfied.

The relationship between the two has progressed, and their minds are quietly changing, this will just sit on each other, and it will not be too likely to sit far away, and they will be crowded together and want to grow into each other's flesh and bones.

He hugged her waist and kissed her, and then followed her words: "It's okay to be busy, our rouge is growing, and when we turn back to spring, we can grow a few inches, and the tall ones are also beautiful." ”

Ren Yan climbed on his shoulder and smiled: "The seventh master actually ate honey in the morning, and his mouth is so sweet?" ”

Gu Tingwen shook his head seriously: "I don't like to eat, but I got a piece and put it in my heart." ”

She laughed at him.

He defended himself: "If you do not believe, seek it yourself." ”

He shook her hand and put it in his heart, and went to find the piece of honey.

When you move in the summer, your skin will be hot, and if you stick to it like this, you can't say a few words, and the two bodies are entangled in the sofa together.

Outside, people came and went, gentlemen eating, I don't know who was talking about today's morning paper, and where to spend time in such a time, so as to wait for the call from the city hall or the arrival of relief supplies somewhere.

The table clock struck nine times, and Ren Yan gradually came to his senses.

There was no movement in the living room outside, and I thought the guests had already left; She remembered the steamed rice and boneed it from her pillow.

Gu Tingwen was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to her and tying his shirt, listening to the movement and turning back.

She touched her clothes in a panic, and glared at him with her hand: "Blame you, I'm afraid my steamed rice is cold!" ”

"Blame me." He coaxed her with kind words and brought her skirt, "Slow down, Master Lu made two more cages." ”

Ren Yan ignored it, opened the door barefoot and ran out.

He Quanzheng listened to the movement, and when he saw people showing up and blessing his body, he gestured to ask the girl to serve the food, but he couldn't hold back and turned red.

The beautiful morning dispelled the dark clouds that had gathered in the apartment, but the time was wrong, and a moment of relaxation was only a struggle in vain, and looking back was in vain.

Both the north and the south were busy fighting to grab gold, silver, taxes, and the people in the towns, and no one had extra time to deal with this natural disaster, and Nanyang's aid had already arrived in Shantou for many days, and the rescue in Guangdong Province was still far away, and only the people were left to save themselves.

Fortunately, the rescue committee dealt with the aftermath properly, resettled the victims, and prevented the outbreak of the epidemic.

On the morning of returning to Beijing from the north, Gu Tingwen received a call from his mother, who had returned to Gu's mansion five days ago to pay homage to his mother, and Gu's mother hoped that her young son would return home as soon as possible and that the brothers would reconcile.

has been out for more than half a year, has few phone calls, and complains mostly every time I call; In March, if he was innocent, Gu's mother probably would not ask him again if he was okay in Guangdong.

Gu Tingwen put down the phone and was silent for a long time.

Ren Yan remembered the aunt and wife who married Master Gu last year, and asked He Quan.

He Quan shook his head with a stiff face: "It's long gone, I said that I was going to send it to the nunnery to become a monk, but I was hanged with a rope in a few days!" ”

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl died like this.

"What about the kid?"

"gave it to the second young grandmother, and said to the outside world that it was the second master's new child." He Quan looked at the study, "This is taboo, when you go back to Beijing, you should treat it as if there is no such thing, there is no aunt and grandmother!" ”

He folded his hands and sighed: "It's just that the second master didn't run away, his little wife was angry and gave birth to a fat boy for him, hum!" ”

At this point, no one will mention the secrets of the Gu family again.

But Ren Yan vaguely felt that it was not so easy for Gu Tingwen's brothers to reconcile.

When they arrived in Beijing, they didn't put down their luggage, so Mrs. Gu sent a car to invite them into the house.

After meeting, she looked at Ren Yan for a while: "Even if I stop this, you are bound to be together." ”

Ren Yan didn't answer, and listened with his head down.

The old lady said, "My birthday banquet is fond of your Cuihua Garden, so I will leave it there." ”

"Yes." Ren Yan was a little surprised.

"You've done it, I remember this favor and recognize you as a daughter-in-law!" The old lady got up and was rarely happy with her.

What's good?

It's just a family gathering, brothers are in harmony, and there is a smile and enmity!

But where is it so easy, there are human lives in between, one by one, all on the account!

When Gu Tingwen heard about it, he smiled: "It's okay." ”
