Chapter 40: The Homely Feast
It's not the first time Wei Yi has cooked. He is skilful in everything. Chopping vegetables, stir-frying, and getting out of the pot, everything is easy. Since falling in love with Li Xiaohui, he has often cooked by himself.
He saw Li Xiaohui's desperate research, and he understood why she was so engaged. He had nothing else to give her but to do what he could.
He learned this cooking skill from his mother since he was a child. Although it cannot be said to be a delicacy in the world, it can also be said to be full of color and flavor. Li Xiaohui often teased him: "If you are a woman and I am a man, I will definitely marry you first." I'm used to eating your food, and I can't swallow it if I am asked to eat what others have made. ”
Whenever this time, Wei Yi smiled faintly and started to put some more dishes into Li Xiaohui's bowl. The relationship between them gradually became extremely natural, like relatives without a sense of estrangement.
Wei Yi quickly made a few home-cooked stir-fries, and he asked Li Xiaohui to help bring the food to the living room.
When he took the prepared dishes and put them on the table one by one, Gongsun Jiu's expression could be said to be extremely rich. He was more than surprised. He has always believed that in this world, it must be women who go up to the hall and down to the kitchen. He never thought that such a big man as Wei Yi would have the exquisite cooking skills of a woman.
He sniffed the dishes lightly, looked up at Wei Yi, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good!" It's a lot of color, smell, and flavor. Awesome, awesome. Xiaohui is blessed now. She has always been unable to cook, and every time the dishes she makes are either salty or light. It's not comparable to your craftsmanship at all. ”
Wei Yi was slightly surprised to hear that he knew so clearly about Li Xiaohui's affairs. But he thought about it for a while, and smiled at Gongsun Jiu quietly, and did not answer Gongsun Jiu's words.
Wei Yu nodded towards Gongsun Jiu, turned around and greeted Li Xiaohui, who was glaring at Gongsun Jiu, and said, "Hurry up and sit down to eat, we still have business to do after eating." ”
Li Xiaohui responded obediently, and sat down on the chair beside Wei Yu silently, far away from Gongsun Jiu. She glared at Gongsun Jiu, and then turned her head to stop looking at Gongsun Jiu.
Gongsun Jiu looked Wei Yi up and down, glanced at Li Xiaohui, and smiled silently. He got up and said enthusiastically, "I'll help." With so many delicious meals, I couldn't help but want to eat them right away. ”
Wei Yi smiled "haha", waved his hand and said, "No, no." Coming is a guest, where is the reason to let the guest do it. Just sit down. Wait, just let go and eat. Xiaohui and I usually can't eat so much, but today you are here, and I specially made a few more dishes. You're welcome, just treat it as if it's in your own home. ”
Gongsun Gu smiled "hehe", didn't make much humility, and sat straight back. He looked at Wei Yi with interest, turned to Li Xiaohui and said, "Your boyfriend is good." Enthusiastic, generous, and a rare good man. You'll have to take advantage of your chances this time, but don't let him run. ”
Wei Yi glanced at Gongsun Jiu and saw Li Xiaohui looking up at him. He smiled at Li Xiaohui and said, "Don't worry, I won't run anywhere, where you are, it's my home." Oh, it's yours. ”
While handing out the rice and chopsticks, he turned around and greeted the female soldiers on duty and said, "Miss Ah Rong, let's come and eat together." I'm done eating, and I'm going to have to ask you to do me a favor. ”
Ah Rong agreed, and walked over and sat next to Li Xiaohui. It just separated Gongsun Dove's line of sight. Li Xiaohui smiled gratefully at Ah Rong. Ah Rong winked at Li Xiaohui, looked up and said to Wei Yi, "Brother Wei, today's food is extraordinarily fragrant." Hehe, as soon as Sister Xiaohui comes, you make so many delicious things, you are eccentric. I'm going to tell Xiaoman to go. ”
Wei Yi smiled "haha" and said to Ah Rong: "Okay Ah Rong, don't make fun of me." I don't dare to be partial, isn't this a guest today? Done a few more. You'll eat more later. It usually causes you a lot of trouble. ”
Ah Rong agreed with a smile, turned his head and whispered to Li Xiaohui. This is the way they have always obeyed, and everyone has become accustomed to it. The relationship between several people is like a family. Only Gongsun Jiu was slightly surprised. Such a warm feeling, his grandson dove has never gotten.
Gongsun Jiu looked at Wei Yu, looked at Li Xiaohui and Ah Rong who were gossiping, and felt a sense of jealousy in his heart for no reason. This kind of thing, his grandson Gu could have gotten it. It's all this Wei Yi, this damn person. His appearance made these things that should have belonged to him all occupied by this Wei Yi.
Gongsun Jiu lowered his head and ate slowly. He did his best to maintain his outward calm and nonchalant expression. For him, this is already commonplace. But in his heart, he had already labeled Wei Yi as something that must be removed. Once the time comes, he will inevitably be ruthless, making this damn guy regret being born in this world.
Gongsun Jiu's heart, Wei Yi will not know. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating, when he saw that Gongsun Jiu was just lowering his head and pulling the rice, he couldn't help but smile. He hurriedly greeted Gongsun Jiu and said, "You're welcome, feel free." It's all home-cooked stir-fry. It can only fill the stomach, and it can't be too big on the countertop. Even if you let go of eating, don't be restrained. It's good to be in your own home. ”
Gongsun Gu raised his head, pretended to smile freely, grabbed a chopstick, and tasted it. I grabbed another chopstick and tasted it. He gave a thumbs up and kept complimenting, "It tastes amazing." I didn't expect it, Brother Wei Yi, you not only look talented, but even your cooking skills are so superb. If this person marries you, then he must die happily? Ha ha. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xiaohui intentionally or unintentionally. Li Xiaohui's face turned red, and she glanced at Wei Mi, and when she saw Wei Mi looking at her, she hurriedly looked away. She hurriedly raised her chopsticks and pretended to pick up the dishes, but she didn't want to take the chopsticks upside down. Wei Yile took the initiative to reach out and clip a few chopsticks for her.
Li Xiaohui grimaced at Wei Yi, turned her head and chatted with Ah Rong, the female soldier beside her, while eating. Ah Rong winked at Wei Yi, causing Li Xiaohui to blush again. All of a sudden, a sense of warmth filled the room.
Gongsun Jiu, who was sitting alone, smiled coldly in his heart, but his face was still full of praise, and he held Wei Yi a few words from time to time. But Wei Yi always had a natural sense of vigilance against Gongsun Gu in his heart. The more he listened to Gongsun Jiu praise himself, the more he felt hairy. He hurriedly spoke up and stopped Gongsun Jiu's words.
He said: "Gongsun Jiu, you just said that Li Mingyu had an accident? What the hell is going on? You and I talk about it carefully. Xiaohui is a reckless character, and when the blood rushes to her head, she often loses her senses. You tell me, let's figure it out together. ”
Gongsun Jiu put down his chopsticks and glanced at Li Xiaohui. He saw that Li Xiaohui was just chatting with the female soldier beside him, and did not look at him, and he felt a little lost in his heart. He slowly explained the matter to Wei Yi in detail. Wei Yi listened very carefully, interjecting from time to time to ask a few questions. In this way, Wei Yi asked Gongsun Jiu about related things while eating. Gradually, a general idea was cleared.
It turned out that not long after Li Mingyu left the mission, he lost contact with the camp. After many contacts to no avail, the camp commander decided to send men to find Li Mingyu and others. But three groups of people were sent successively, but they were all gone and disappeared, and they disappeared.
According to Gongsun Jiu, after he learned the news, he immediately rushed to the research room to find Li Xiaohui. But I didn't find it, and after many inquiries, I learned that Li Xiaohui was here in Wei Yi. He hurried over. I want to tell Li Xiaohui about this situation in detail.
Li Xiaohui listened silently, looked at Wei Yi, and hoped that this man could give her a reassuring plan. Wei Yi didn't disappoint her. He analyzed it carefully, and after some discussion with Gongsun Jiu, he made a detailed arrangement.
"The priority is to save people," he said. We only have a general idea of where he might be now, but we don't know where he is. That place in Huainan City. I'm still relatively clear. Not long ago, I was there for a while. In this way, arrange some people for me, and I'll lead the team to find them. Maybe you can find some clues. ”
Li Xiaohui opened her mouth and asked, "You lead the team?" What about me? ”
Wei Yi waved his hand and ordered: "You, stay here honestly and do the things at hand well." Brother Shen still has to rely on you. You can't leave. ”
Li Xiaohui was anxious when she heard this. She said very firmly, "No, you have to take me." I'm going to be with you. ”
Wei Yi refused without thinking. He said, "Don't mess around. What are you going to do in such a dangerous place? Do your research honestly, and hurry up to deal with Brother Shen's affairs first. I try to get back as fast as I can. Find your cousin as soon as possible. Whether he lives or dies, I will bring him back. ”
Gongsun Jiu also lost no time in interjecting at this time: "Yes, that place should be very dangerous. I went to several groups of people in a row, but none of them came back. You're a girl's house, don't run to those places all the time. It's best to stay in it well. ”
Li Xiaohui glared at Gongsun Jiu and reprimanded: "I want you to take care of it!" Awei said let me stay here, I listened to him. What a mouth! ”
Gongsun Jiu shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. Wei Yiwan smiled and smiled apologetically at Gongsun Jiu. Gongsun Jiu shook his head, but stopped talking.
Li Xiaohui turned her head to look at Wei Yi and advised: "Then you must pay attention to safety, don't be reckless." If something happens, come back first. We'll just have to figure it out. ”
Wei Yi nodded, and instructed Li Xiaohui carefully. After he finished talking to Li Xiaohui, he looked at the female soldier Ah Rong again and begged: "Miss Ah Rong, during the time I am away, I have to trouble you to take care of Xiaoman more." I'll be back as soon as I can. ”
Ah Rong smiled and nodded, "Brother Wei, look at what you said." What is trouble? Taking care of Xiaoman is not only our duty, but also something that our sisters are willing to do. Not a hassle at all. Besides, we all like her very much, and it hurts like she is our own sister. You can rest assured. You must be safe when you go. We're still waiting to eat what you cooked. If you don't come back, we'll all starve to death. ”
Wei Yi smiled "haha" and said continuously: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the food is enough." Come, come, eat, eat, and if you don't eat, it's cold. ”
Everyone raised their chopsticks and feasted on them.
After eating a bowl of rice, Gongsun Jiu suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head to Wei Yi and said, "By the way, Wei Yi, you turned out to be from Huainan City, right?" ”
Wei Yi nodded and responded, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Gongsun Jiu smiled, got up and took a bowl of rice, sat down and continued: "About half a year ago, we came here with a group of people, also saying that they were from Huainan City. Later, they moved to the shelter, and I remember that there was an aunt in that group. She kept saying she was looking for her son. Listening to her, her son seems to be called Wei Yi. It can't be you, right? ”
Wei Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "What you said is true?" So where are they now? Is she the only one? Is there an older man who is with her? ”
Gongsun Jiu looked at Wei Yu in surprise and said, "Is it really you?" I said how could it be so coincidental, it was actually the same name and surname. They should be fine by now, and you can rest assured. In the shelter of the South China headquarters. When you come back, I'll take you there. I don't know anything else. ”
Wei Yi thanked him gratefully and took a few bites of food. Li Xiaohui glanced at Gongsun Jiu. I felt that something was wrong for no reason. Gongsun Jiu's thoughts, she knows too well.
What kind of person is Gongsun Dove? That's a man who lives up to his name, and his mind is extremely vicious. Let him do evil things, he is a first-class good player. But if you let him do good deeds and kill Li Xiaohui, she won't believe it. There must be something wrong with this.
Li Xiaohui put down her chopsticks, turned her head sideways and said to Wei Yi: "When you come back, I will accompany you." ”
Wei Yi nodded, answered, and did not speak. He lowered his head and quickly pulled the rice, not even bothering to take a bite of the dish. He couldn't stop thinking about his parents in his heart. This news is too important for him.
He searched for so long, but he never found any clues. Unexpectedly, my parents had already fled from that dangerous place. But right now, saving people is important, and he must find Li Mingyu as soon as possible and bring Li Mingyu back. The rest of the matter can only be talked about when we come back.
Li Xiaohui understood Wei Mi's thoughts, she didn't talk much, she just kept the vegetables into Wei Mi's bowl, and she didn't even care about eating her own food. It was Ah Rong beside her who reminded her again and again, and she barely managed to pick up a few mouthfuls of food.
Soon, the meal was over. Wei Yi said goodbye to the female soldier Ah Rong, took Li Xiaohui with him, and left quickly with Gongsun Jiu.
