Chengdu Wuhou District Dalongyi hot pot restaurant,

Because it was afternoon, there were still more than two hours before the evening meal, so there were not many customers in the store. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now that it's summer, it's really hot, and a middle school student wearing a school uniform walked out of the school, entered this hot pot restaurant, asked for a red pot soup base and drew some side dishes.

Soon, the bottom of the pot was brought up by the waiter, and the base began to slowly and completely melt as the bottom of the pot boiled, and the smell of the hot pot was slowly diffusing out.

Students put a piece of hairy belly into the boiling hot pot with chopsticks, waited for 10 seconds, then took it out and dipped it in the oil dish, and then put it in their mouths and chewed slowly.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing the uniform of the middle school opposite, no one might think that he was just a middle school student, because no matter how he moved, he looked like a person who had experienced vicissitudes and had a story to tell.

When the student put the third piece of hairy belly into his mouth, a middle-aged man wearing white short sleeves walked into the hot pot restaurant, the man looked a little old, probably because of his beard, his image subconsciously reminded people of those bohemian heroes in martial arts novels.

"Yo, didn't you invite me to dinner, why did you eat it yourself. ”

The man walked straight to the student's table and sat down, picked up his chopsticks, unceremoniously put two plates of tender beef into the pot, and then rubbed his hands, as if he couldn't wait for the beef to be cooked and eaten.

"Who knows when you will come, you Yan Huihong is the most unpunctual one in the circle. ”

The one who came in later turned out to be Yan Huihong, so the person who can be qualified to sit at the same table with Yan Huihong to eat, his identity and status naturally need not be said, but this one is really a little scary.

"Hey, you're a really unruly talker, just like a friend of mine from before. Yan Huihong smiled, his personality is relatively coarse, or he belongs to the type of thick and fine, so he always gives people a bold feeling, of course, after all, he is a listener who has been messing around for a long time, naturally he can't be too pure, and it is naturally impossible for him to be chivalrous and righteous, eliminate evil and promote good, and he is not so idle and boring.

"It's the same as Lan Lin, right?"

The student put down his chopsticks, picked up the soy milk on the table and took a sip.

"Alas. At the mention of Lan Lin, Yan Huihong sighed, obviously, the impact of Lan Lin's death on him has not really been eliminated.

"Say, what are you doing in Chengdu? The student asked.

"Because I found something interesting. Yan Huihong put a large piece of beef into his mouth, then took out his mobile phone and put it on the table, "Click on the album to see it yourself, there is no password." Chenguang, these photos, I think you will definitely be interested. ”

The student's name is Chenguang, a more delicate but more commonly used name, which was good more than ten years ago, but now, the name Chenguang is often used indiscriminately by various romance and cliché novels, which really adds some helplessness to it.

Picked up Yan Huihong's mobile phone, clicked on the photo album, and what caught his eye was the charming posture of a very plump woman on the bed, Chenguang raised his head and looked at Yan Huihong.

"Haha, scroll down and down, you can just ignore the rest. ”

Holding back the nausea in his heart, Chenguang still began to continue to scroll down, and soon, a strange photo appeared, because it was an old photo, but it should have been taken with a mobile phone against the old photo, in the photo is a big iron gate, there are two buildings behind, and a small open space, there are a lot of children's toys on it, such as seesaws and slides and other things.

"You remember this place, don't you?" Yan Huihong asked with a smile, "I've heard that you grew up in an orphanage in Chengdu. ”

"Then how are you sure that I grew up in this orphanage?" asked Chenguang, shaking his phone.

"Intuition. Yan Huihong wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, "It's really just intuition." ”

"What about other than intuition?" Tatsumitsu clearly didn't believe in this reason.

"Instinct aside, it's that I've met a couple of other listeners in Chengdu, who I met when I wasn't a senior listener or even a veteran, and they're all gone, either in the story world or in the real world, but they all told me they came from an orphanage.

I'm curious, which orphanage is so powerful that it has made it out of the audience, right?"

"When I was very young, this orphanage was closed. Chenguang's face showed a touch of remembrance, obviously, this orphanage was the first place in his life to clearly feel the warmth, although the message that Yan Huihong said before clearly explained the weirdness of this orphanage, but one yard is one yard.

"Who opened it?" Yan Huihong continued to ask, "I came to Chengdu this time to find out about this matter. ”

"It was started by a husband and wife, both of them are entrepreneurs, I remember when I was a child in the orphanage, every time they came over, the children in the orphanage would be very happy, around them called the dean uncle and aunt, the day they came, it was the festival in the orphanage, not only the gifts and toys they brought, but even the food of the day would be much better than usual.

Later, the couple had a car accident and left, and their son directly terminated the financial support for the orphanage, so half a year later, the orphanage was completely disbanded, and the older children went to the society to find work on their own, and the younger ones were accepted by the government-run welfare home, and I was accepted by the welfare home. ”

"Do you remember their names?" asked Yan Huihong.

Chenguang shook his head, "I was only three years old at that time, how could I remember so much." ”

"Then now you're interested in this matter, right?" Yan Huihong swallowed a large piece of beef again, "This thing is not ordinary." ”

"Now I know it's not ordinary, I didn't feel that way before. Chenguang's white fingers tapped lightly on the table, "You should know more than that. ”

"Hehe, this couple has a son, that is, the son who suspended funding for the orphanage, I was stunned for a moment when I investigated him, and guess what, he is actually also a listener, I also met him in the story world where Lan Lin died. ”

"Oh. Chenguang nodded, "What level of strength does he have now, he shouldn't be dead yet, right?"

"I don't know this for the time being, I guess I'm a senior intermediate if I top the sky, but I'm not dead, I'm also surprised, this guy is purely mentally ill and hasn't died yet. ”

"You were born by surrogacy from my mother?"

In a bubble tea shop behind the Mercy Hospital, An Le still looked a little unacceptable after listening to Su Bai's story, but the look on his face was not shocked, but ridiculous and funny:

"This woman is really bottomless, she dared to do surrogacy more than 20 years ago, and she has really been at the forefront of the trend. ”

Obviously, An Le's feelings for Weng Aijuan are not good.

"You don't like your mother so much, why do you still come to see her?" asked Su Bai after taking a sip of milk tea.

"Because I want to see her miserable appearance, every time I come back from the world of stories or come back from other places, I take time to see her, because of her, my childhood has always been ridiculed, and I don't even have a reason to argue, because the whole street knows what kind of woman she is.

To tell you the truth, I've always heard her say that she has a rich son who will come to pick her up one day and live a good life, and I still want to find out the rich son and kill him in front of her, so that she can completely cut off this thought and make her live a completely desperate life, but after I went through hypnosis, I found that she herself didn't know anything about the so-called son. ”

Su Bai smiled and stretched out his finger to point at himself,

"He's sitting in front of you right now, and you can do it to him now. ”

An Le shrugged helplessly, "The official level crushes people to death, but I'm curious, why did your parents find a woman like her to be a surrogate in the first place, I think normal parents should be more cautious in choosing surrogacy, just like parents who plan to artificially inseminate with other people's sperm should have a lot of investigation and evaluation of the person who uses the sperm." ”

Speaking of this, An Le was suddenly stunned again, as if he had stopped at something, and asked:

"More than 20 years ago, was there already the ability to do artificial insemination in China?"

An Le is a very smart person, Su Bai never denies this, and it is obvious that he has found something wrong in Su Bai's narrative.

"Your mother is like this, and your father doesn't care?" Su Bai asked, the purpose of spending time with An Le was to ask about Weng Aijuan's husband.

"My dad?" An Le paused, "a very poor man, I remember that I was taken home from kindergarten by him that year, my mother called the wild man outside to the house to do that kind of thing, my dad just covered my eyes and mouth and stood in the kitchen and didn't dare to make a sound, but I could feel that his body was trembling, obviously, he had been enduring it for his own children, but I was precocious early, some things, in fact, I also knew in my heart." ”

Listening to An Le's words, a completely different picture appeared in Su Bai's mind,

A middle-aged man in overalls is hiding in the kitchen, covering his son's mouth and eyes while admiring the image of his wife being green in front of him, he is smiling, he is happy, and his whole body is trembling with excitement............
