Chapter 236: The Reader
In Restaurant No. 3, everyone at the table gathers together. There were eight people in the Dawn Organization and twelve underground engineering personnel, and the originally ordinary round dining table was crowded, it seemed to be crying and laughing, and Hua Xuning couldn't cry or laugh when he sat on the seat, looking at this round table like the moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
"I'm ...... The round table is not bad, right? Hua Xuning smiled awkwardly, if he hadn't sat next to Mo Fei, he would have rolled into a small corner to enjoy lunch alone.
"Hmm......" everyone nodded in default.
What's the point? What's the point? He just wanted to explain that the 1800mm home dining table he specially customized from Chenglong Furniture City is not only of good quality, but also beautiful, and the price is ...... It is twice as expensive as the market price. But it's durable, and you must treat it well as a guy who eats.
"It seems...... I have to recustomize the table again......" Hua Xuning muttered to himself, watching the children and teammates eating a happy lunch, he inadvertently shed tears of emotion.
"Huh?" Mo Fei didn't hear what he was saying, and the sound of everyone eating was too noisy. Mo Fei picked up a piece of steamed grouper meat and put it in Hua Xuning's bowl, which instantly attracted the envy of everyone.
"Alright, okay, I'll do it myself." Hua Xuning picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Mo Fei's bowl by the way, Ah Chu sat aside, looking at the cold in his heart, he continued to bury his head in eating.
"Wow, they're all old husbands and wives, and they still serve vegetables to each other?" Chen Yunhan was the first to speak.
Jiang Yixue took a sip of cold water and told her, "You all know that this is an old husband and wife, what's wrong with the old husband and wife picking vegetables for the other party to eat?" This can promote the harmonious development of society. ”
"Hmm......" Chen Yunhan could only nod in agreement, she thought that Xiao Yusheng, who was sitting on the side, would pick up vegetables for her, but that guy didn't pick up vegetables, so she could concentrate on eating by herself, a piece of braised pork with half a bowl of white rice.
"Come on, eat vegetables! Eat more. Jiang Yixue was amiable and served vegetables to the other party, and he also wanted to promote the harmonious development of society with the other party.
Li Luoyi was squeezed in the middle and watched the fried beef with green peppers fly in front of her eyes, this was not for her, and the white rice in her mouth that had not yet been swallowed made her look confused.
I didn't expect Jiang Yixue to pick up vegetables for Xiao Yusheng! Xiao Yusheng, who was originally focused on eating, put down his chopsticks and drank cold water to calm down, because the atmosphere was really a little burning.
"Are you disgusting?" Li Luo looked at Jiang Yixue with disgust, Achu who was eating from a seat continued to work hard, Lin Jinyu was happy to watch Achu eat, this child's food is good, the only drawback is that he can't see his face.
"What's wrong with me? I normally pick up vegetables for Yusheng, do you have any opinions? Jiang Yixue didn't admit his mistake at all, because he felt that he had done nothing wrong at all. Is it possible to give the dishes to a female friend whose relationship has not yet been determined, but who is yelling?
"Do people with hands and feet still need you to pick up vegetables?" Li Luo chewed white rice and scolded Jiang Yixue.
Jiang Yixue's expression gradually took off, he pursed his lips and put his chopsticks into the braised pork, gently picked up the braised pork and put it into Li Luoyi's bowl.
He said, "Eat quietly, OK?" ”
"......" Li Luoyi was suddenly speechless.
"I also want someone to pick up vegetables for me to eat......" Engineering Rice sat in a daze, the chopsticks that hadn't moved for a long time, and the dull eyes, she envied that someone naturally picked up vegetables for her, although she also had hands and feet. But people always like these unexpected moves.
"Eat vegetables! Let me tell you, this steamed grouper is delicious, I don't believe you can try it. Kudo picked up a piece of steamed grouper meat with coriander and placed it in a bowl of engineered rice.
On the other side, the big tree picked up a piece of braised pork that originally belonged to him, but the plan could not catch up with the change, so he handed the piece of braised pork to the engineering rice. He didn't say anything, he just wanted to have a good meal.
So there are only two dishes of braised pork and steamed grouper on such a large table?
Engineered Rice Eats White Rice with Braised Pork and Steamed Grouper Meat, Suddenly Her Eyes Brighten, the Taste of Food Instantly Subverts the Taste of Engineered Rice, The Specialty Food of China's Great Rivers and Norths and Souths Integrates the Five Thousand Years of History of China, Bringing Together the Passage of Time and the Proof of Years.
"Hmmm! Delicious! Steamed grouper meat is delicious! The braised pork is also delicious! "Engineered rice compliments on someone's cooking skills, and it's amazing.
Chen Yunhan sat in his seat and smiled slightly, drinking cold boiled water as a gargle, "Low-key and low-key, it's not so good." The main thing is that the ingredients are good, the grouper that Uncle Sihai bought back is really good, and I just learned someone's cooking skills. ”
"Oh? Stealing from school? Who's so good at cooking and still need you to learn it? Blue looked stunned, he looked at Chen Yunhan, the little girl can make steamed grouper at a young age, and the taste is excellent, so is the person who was stolen to learn cooking to the next level?
Chen Yunhan smiled, "Guess." ”
"......" Blue was a little speechless, why do you always like to let others guess, isn't it good to say it directly?
"Could it be Sister Fei?" Cao Sun took the initiative to guess, but it was a pity that Chen Yunhan shook his head.
Murphy sat in his seat and laughed, "I'm not as good at cooking as that guy." ”
"Is it so powerful?" Li Luoyi suddenly felt that such a thing was not simple.
"Huh? Not Aunt Fei? How is it possible, except for Aunt Fei, who else in the organization can teach you cooking? Ah Chu's mouth was full of rice grains, and Lin Jinyu on the side handed him a tissue to wipe his mouth.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Hua Xuning covered his mouth and coughed, probably choking on the fish.
"Is it possible...... Monica taught you? Jiang Yixue followed closely and guessed, but Chen Yunhan still shook his head.
Xiao Yusheng gulped down rice, "Monica...... It's true that she cooks well, but after all, she ...... It's just a virtual character, she can do anything just by entering the data......"
“……”
"You swallow the rice first, and then talk about ......," Chen Yunhan poured him a glass of cold boiled water.
"Thank you."
Kudo Kuke thought silently, but he still wanted to get the answer, "Who could be that person that Miss Yun Han was talking about?" Is he from this organization? ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Hua Xuning covered his mouth and coughed again, the braised pork was too salty.
Chen Yunhan nodded, "Yes." ”
"Is he a person?" Ke Zhenlin asked a brain-dead question.
Chen Yunhan nodded again, "Yes......"
"Is he male or female?" Yama asked.
Chen Yunhan said, "Male ......"
"Man?!" Everyone was taken aback, gulping down rice and drinking water.
"What's wrong? Men can cook too! Hua Xuning agrees with the idea that men will add points to cooking.
Achu was suddenly silent, he put down his chopsticks and spit out a meaningful sentence, "Could it be ...... It's me? Don't guess, I'll admit that I taught Yun Han the art of cooking. ”
“……”
Xiao Yusheng continued to grill rice, "Achu is awesome! ”
Chen Yunhan immediately replied to Achu, "Fart, you, do you know how to make steamed grouper?" I'll admit, you do have the cooking skills of three-legged cat kung fu. But compared to me, you're still a little tender, I've been cooking since elementary school! ”
Achu wiped his mouth with a tissue, "I can't do it, but I can learn it!" And I've been cooking since elementary school! I'm still learning to cook with my grandfather, do you want to try it when you have time? ”
"Cut, compare! I don't believe I'm better at cooking than you. Chen Yunhan swears by his cooking skills.
Ah Chu interlocked his fingers and smiled, "If you want to see me and her try your cooking skills, please raise your hand, and in the next chapter, we will directly introduce the 'King of Chef Competition' in history!" ”
There was an uproar in the audience, and almost everyone except the two of them raised their hands high.
Ah Chu was still smiling, he looked at Chen Yunhan with an unhappy expression, "It's still too late to admit defeat." ”
"Cut...... Come on, I don't have the word 'towel' in my dictionary. Chen Yunhan picked up a piece of steamed grouper meat with chopsticks, and the taste was simply delicious.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Hua Xuning covered his mouth and coughed, and Mo Fei cared about him on the side, "What's wrong?" Does the food not fit your mouth? ”
"I didn't ...... I'm tired of the food Yunhan cooks, and I've tried all kinds of flavors. It's just that...... I remembered the events of a certain year and a certain month, and I forgot about eating. Hua Xuning didn't know what he was talking about, so he picked up a piece of beef and put it in Mo Fei's bowl, and then picked up a piece of green pepper and chewed it himself.
Murphy whispered to him, "Who do you think will win?" ”
Hua Xuning's face was full of indifference, "It's just a play for the two little kids, but it's ...... Achu's cooking skills should be slightly better. ”
"Why?" Murphy wondered.
Hua Xuning raised the corners of his mouth, "Pure speculation." ”
"Oh yes, Achu, when you duel with the people of the Fortune Wolf Gang, was there anything abnormal?" Hua Xuning put a piece of green pepper into Achu's bowl and ate the fat but not greasy piece of beef by himself.
Ah Chu secretly handed the green pepper to Lin Jinyu, and he told Hua Xuning, "Abnormal...... There is a big abnormality, I fought against three people in the Lucky Wolf Gang, and the strength of the three people is okay. ”
"Talking so much nonsense, the other two were still killed by me in one move." Li Luo passed a handful of green peppers to Xiao Yusheng, and Xiao Yusheng swallowed the green peppers as white rice in one gulp.
"What's unusual?" Hua Xuning continued to ask.
Achu then told the old fox, "The anomaly is ...... These three people have strange strength, some can turn their hands into black blades, and they can stretch and retract freely. There are infinite manpower, and it is easy to carry large stones. There are also people who can turn into flames and disappear into thin air. Are all the people of the Rich Wolf Gang so weird? Is this a gangster organization I know? ”
"I remember you said, it's a potion problem, what potion?" Achu asked Hua Xu Ning.
Hua Xuning drank cold water and confessed the situation, "I don't know what medicine it is, I only know that this medicine can strengthen people's strength, but according to what you said, this medicine can not only strengthen people's strength, but also change people's abilities." ”
"So the organization that secretly controls the Lucky Wolf Gang is the Red Spider?" Achu's face was dark.
Hua Xuning shook his head slightly, and he said, "To be precise...... It should be the Crimson Triangle that is in control of the Lucky Wolf Gang, and the Red Spider has his wanderers distribute potions in various streets to force them to cause chaos, and the Lucky Wolf Gang is one of them, I guess...... Will come back in the future. ”
"This can all be guessed......" Cao Sun convinced the reader in front of him.
"So what about that...... Huang Tian is really dangerous, he always thinks about revenge, so am I protecting him anytime and anywhere? Achu looked at Hua Xuning, but Hua Xuning ignored him, and then he glanced around, but no one paid attention to him, and finally he buried his head in embarrassment to eat.
"Achu, let me ask you a question." Hua Xuning's eyes raised, Achu raised his head and was stunned, when did the old fox's eyes become so sharp?
"Hmm......" Achu nodded, "You ask, I'll tell you everything I know......"
Hua Xuning opened his mouth and asked Ah Chu, "When did you and Huang Tian meet?" ”
Achu stopped his redundant movements, and he counted with his fingers, "That's it...... Since I was a child, I have known him since I was a child, and when I was a child, his family lived next door to my house, and I was a neighbor with him. And then...... He's moving, but it's close, a few steps away. He and I have not only known each other since childhood, but also played together with Huihui, Zhong Yu, Shanhai, and we have been playing together since we were children, and we are known as the 'Five Little Overlords'! ”
"Since childhood......" Hua Xuning thought with his chin propped up.
"That's right." Achu didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet.
Hua Xuning asked the last question, "Where is the address of Huang Tian's house?" ”
"Huh? Why do you ask this? Achu looked confused, and the audience had already quieted down.
Old.
Hua Xuning parked the Lexus UX on the side of the road, turned off the engine and got out of the car, it has been a month since the last time he came to the old city to take care of it, and at that time Achu was still living in the old city, and now he has become a wild boy.
He looked at the bustling crowd, the signboard was erected under the armpit of a burly tree, and the penetrated sunlight passed through the dense foliage and turned into scattered sunlight, still retaining the temperature it should have. Hua Xuning walked into the No. 4 alley at the intersection of the text road, and there was a recruitment advertisement that had not changed for more than ten years.
According to the address, Hua Xuning came to a small two-story house with house number 14, he stood outside the door and knocked lightly. After a while, he heard someone in the house approaching the door, and the door opened inward, and the door was opened by a middle-aged woman, wrapped in a gray apron, with long black hair coiled, without any makeup on her face, and a red rope tied around her wrist on her left hand, with a small fish head strung inside.
The woman looked at Hua Xuning with a smile on her face, and she put her hands in the pocket of her apron, in which were two or three toffees leftover, which were the remnants of Halloween, to prevent some children from coming over and tossing the neighbors.
"You are?" The woman asked softly.
Hua Xuning smiled, combing the lines prepared in advance, and he said unhurriedly, "Is this Huang Tian's home?" I am the counselor of Huang Tian's class, my surname is Hua, and my name is Xu Ning. ”
"Oh, Teacher Hua, it's rare for a teacher to come to visit the house, but it's a pity that the kid is still in school, hurry up, come in." The woman smiled, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were unforgettable.
"I know I know, in a few days it will be the winter internship period, and I will go out for an internship soon, I believe in Huang Tian's ability, he is serious in school." Hua Xuning walked into the house with the woman.
The woman laughed, "Ouch, teacher is polite, how can my son be so good, he just doesn't cause trouble for me." ”
Hua Xuning and the woman walked into the house, there was laughter from a variety show in the living room, and the slightly restless pressure cooker in the kitchen was stewing ribs. It's a warm November day, and it's warm in the house, with grandma watching TV on the sofa and fake peonies on the table as decorations at best. On the balcony, the clothes of the three were dry, and a picture hidden in a certain frame was hung on the white wall.
"Teacher Hua sit casually, I'll pour you a glass of water." The woman warmly entertained Hua Xuning, Hua Xuning accepted it stupidly, he sat on the chair at the dining table and found a chair casually.
The woman handed Hua Xuning a glass of boiled water, Hua Xuning smiled and thanked him, and he watched the woman walk into the kitchen and continue to be busy with lunch.
"Shujun, who is here?" Grandma spread out on the sofa and asked, Hua Xuning looked around, but he didn't find where the sound came from, he only heard the sound of variety shows on the TV, and the sound of the pressure cooker in the kitchen.
The woman replied in the kitchen, "Mom, there is a guest here, Shaoqi's teacher at school has come to visit the house." ”
"Shaoqi?" Hua Xuning was a little confused, he turned around the customer hall, he noticed the photo frame hanging on the wall, and also saw the photo in the frame, the background was a red flower lake, and the family was smiling at the camera, a very normal photo.
Suddenly grandma got up from the sofa, turned around and quietly walked to Hua Xuning's side, at this time Hua Xuning was still paying attention to the pressure cooker in the kitchen, and suddenly grandma patted Hua Xuning's shoulder, which scared Hua Xuning to turn her head and lose her color.
"Drink! Oh...... Elderly...... Hello......" Hua Xuning broke out in a cold sweat, and he was really taken aback.
Grandma showed a smile with a few teeth, she sat aside, looking at Hua Xuning's appearance, Wen Xuning's temperament, the appearance of a scholar, and the ubiquitous embarrassing smile, Hua Xuning held the cup and smiled stupidly.
"Is my Shaoqi okay at school?" Grandma asked.
"Huh? Shaoqi? Is he Huang Tian's younger brother or elder brother? Hua Xuning was really a little confused, and the woman who was busy cooking in the kitchen explained to Hua Xuning.
"Ah Teacher Hua, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, Shaoqi is another name for Huang Tian, called Huang Shaoqi, this name was given by his grandmother."
"Oooh." Hua Xuning finally understood, it turned out to be one person, no wonder he couldn't find another teenager in the photo.
"Shaoqi is very good in school, his academic performance is great, and he is a very obedient student." Hua Xuning opened his mouth embarrassedly, and he took a sip of cold boiled water from his cup.
Grandma continued to grasp Hua Xuning's appearance, continued to look at him, and grandma said, "You ......"
"Huh? What's wrong grandma? Hua Xuning put down the cup and straightened his attitude in front of the old man.
Grandma continued, "You look like the offspring of the scholar......"
"Oh? Is it? Hahaha...... Probably, but I can only count ...... Half a reader, hahahaha. Hua Xuning did not hide his smile.
"Really...... The appearance of that gentleman will forever remain in my memory...... Honestly, I see you...... I miss him a little, and I wonder how that gentleman is doing. A trace of tears flashed in Grandma's eyes, and from her crystal tears, it seemed that a gentleman holding a book and facing the spring blossoms had appeared, standing alone on the street, his slender back forever remaining in the memory of the old woman.
"Qiuhua...... Good bye. ”
……
"Do you know that gentleman?" Hua Xuning asked in a relaxed state.
Grandma nodded slightly, "He's older than me, I'm the youngest member of the organization, and that gentleman taught me...... Revolution! He is always standing in front of us, seemingly hiding behind him, and we ...... You can't be harmed. That memory was about him, about the organization, and about the rambling ...... Night. ”
"Hmm...... I understand. Hua Xuning nodded.
When the woman came out of the kitchen, she found that Hua Xuning was no longer in the living room, and her grandmother was spread out on the sofa and continued to watch TV.
