Lu Ruchan was quite unexpected, bringing friends? This is the first time, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll let people add a few more dishes, what kind of taste does your friend have?" ”

"Home cooking, light, not too sweet." After a pause, Lu Rin said, "He is a young man. ”

Lu Rin deliberately emphasized that Lu Ruchan was curious, "How young?" ”

At this time, the corridor light was on, Yan Heqing came out of the unit building, and Lu Rin's eyes followed him, "18. ”

Yan Heqing carried a paper bag, came out and saw Lu Rin standing outside the car, the snow began to fall in the air again, he sped up under his feet, and trotted towards Lu Rin, "Mr. Lu, you can go." ”

Lu Rin put the phone back in his pocket, walked to the back seat and opened the car door.

Yan Heqing was puzzled for a while, did he want him to drive? He doesn't have a driver's license.

Lu Rin didn't let him wonder for too long, "Get in the car." Then he returned to the driver's seat.

It was he who drove it.

Yan Heqing got into the back seat, the temperature in the car was very high, and it seemed to be two time and space outside, and in front of him was half of Lu Rin's head higher than the back of the seat.

Lu Rin buckled up his seatbelt, started the car and set off.

Yan Heqing gently rested the paper bag at his feet, containing the pots of meat he raised.

It was a gift for Lu Rin's mother, and at this time, the store was all closed, and there was no other gift to buy.

Xu was too quiet in the car, so Lu Rin turned on the radio easily.

On a random radio station, two actors are talking cross talk, and their tones are exaggerated.

Lu Rin looked in the rearview mirror, and in the mirror, the young man was sitting quietly. "If you don't like it, change the song."

"No, you don't." The young man suddenly raised his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror, "It's very lively to listen to cross talk during the New Year." ”

Lu Rin looked away, the car drove out of the community, and after a while of walking, he turned around and went to the high speed.

Inside the car was the actor's constantly exaggerated laughter, and he spoke again, "Why don't you continue to live?" ”

"If you have something to deal with, it's convenient to go home."

The car turned onto the highway, the street lights on both sides shone, and the snow fell to the windshield, and the snow gradually became heavier. ”

"Hmm." Yan Heqing bent his eyes, "They also want to celebrate the New Year." ”

Lu Rin looked in the rearview mirror again, and crashed into the young man's clear eyes, "Thank you, Mr. Lu." ”

Lu Rin's Adam's apple slid slightly, and he looked away without moving, "Thank you." ”

"Thank you for today." Yan He Qingguaner, "Actually, I'm in a bad mood today, I'm very happy that you are willing to invite me to your house for the New Year." ”

Lu Rin coughed a little in his throat, and he pressed it down, "Why is it bad?" ”

"I miss some people a lot." Yan Heqing withdrew his gaze at this time, and he turned to look out the window, there were a few rays of light in between, and most of the time it was silent darkness.

On the radio, when the cross talk reached the climax, the audience was full of laughter.

*

The next way, neither of them said anything more.

Get off the highway and drive a little more uphill, quiet in the mountains, only half of the waist there is a place with lights on.

When I stopped at the villa, the snow was heavier than the city, and a large area fell down, Yan Heqing closed the paper bag and got off the car a few steps up the steps.

Lu Rin lowered half of the window, "Go into the house, I'll park." "Drove to the garage.

At the same time, the door opened behind him, and the light shone on the steps, and then a loving female voice said—

"Hello, little friend."

Yan Heqing turned around and saw a woman who was extremely thin, almost a pale skin wrapped in a skeleton, wearing a thick hat, and sitting in a wheelchair.

Almost immediately, it overlapped with the woman in the photo.

This is Lu Rin's mother.

Yan Heqing bowed politely, "Hello, my name is Yan Heqing." ”

Lu Ruchan beckoned, "Come closer." ”

Yan Heqing didn't know why, he took a few steps forward and bent down to approach Lu Ruchan, "You say." ”

Lu Ruchan saw Yan Heqing clearly, and she smiled, "It's very worthy of your name." "It's really young, 5 years younger than Lu Muchi.

The dry palm gently patted Yan Heqing's shoulder, "Come into the house, it's cold outside." ”

Following into the house, the maid had already prepared the guests' slippers, and the whole house was turned on with suitable floor heating, Yan Heqing changed into shoes, took off his coat again, and when he arrived in the living room, he took out the gifts one by one, "This is a small potted plant I raised, I hope you like it." ”

A total of four pots.

Pink blue birds, colored berries, snowflake jade pendants, and money strings are planted in small white porcelain pots, and each pot is particularly vibrant.

Lu Ruchan was pleasantly surprised, she held the pink blue bird, and couldn't put it down, "It's so beautiful, I will definitely take care of it seriously." ”

Yan Heqing was still carrying the paper bag, the maid wanted to take it, Yan Heqing smiled and shook his head, and the servant also smiled back, and he didn't move.

There was a sound of the door closing in the entrance, and after a while, Lu Rin came in.

In addition to the coat and scarf, the suit jacket was also taken off, wearing only a light brown pinstripe shirt, he unfastened the cufflinks as he walked, Lu Ruchan raised the small potted plant, "Rin, look at the gift that Xiao Heqing gave me, how beautiful!" ”

Lu Rin looked at the pot of pink blue birds.

It's really beautiful.

He took off his watch, looked at the time, and it was past eight o'clock, he put it on the storage tray on the small side table, and walked to the dining room, "Let's eat." ”

Lu Ruchan was still reluctant to put it down, and looked at it over and over again for a while, and then put down the potted plant.

Suddenly, he winked mysteriously at Yan Heqing, "I also prepared a small gift for you, on the dining table." ”

When he arrived at the table, Yan Heqing knew that the gift was a dish - pineapple fritters and shrimp.

The servant smiled and said, "This dish was cooked by the lady herself, and the last time she cooked was ten years ago." ”

Lu Ruchan shook her head with a smile, "It's not all done by me, if you can't stand up, you will prepare the ingredients, mix them at the end, and the rest will still be operated by the chef." ”

She looked at Yan Heqing, "Ah Rin said that you don't eat too sweet, this dish is not sweet, sweet and sour." ”

Yan Heqing knows this dish, Xie Yunjie's wedding banquet menu has this dish, the method is simple, but the preparation process is troublesome, and the shrimp paste must be stuffed into the cut fritters one by one, which is especially popular with children.

The other dishes are not exaggerated, they are all home-cooked.

Asparagus in soup, braised pork with abalone, steamed beef ribs, tea tree mushrooms with cucumber flowers, braised shrimp with abalone, coconut pork rib soup, baked chicken with wine flavor, ingots eggs, dry fried thinly pickled yellow croaker, roasted ribs with chestnuts, fried rice cakes with crab.

There is also a pot, mint mung bean soup.

The maid poured a cup, and Lu Ruchan served it to Yan Heqing first, she looked at Yan Heqing, "Eat more meat, you are too thin." ”

Use chopsticks to pick up a large piece of beef ribs and put them on Yan He's vegetable plate.

Yan Heqing looked at the mint mung bean soup, except for his hometown, he had hardly seen mung bean soup cooked with mint.

He picked up the cup and drank half a cup in one gulp, Lu Ruchan said first, "Do you like it?" This is the practice of my hometown, which is particularly greasy, and it is the most suitable for summer and New Year's holidays. ”

Yan Heqing asked: "Isn't your hometown in the capital?" ”

"No, my ancestral home is in the south, but I was born in poor health, and I became ill after more than half an hour in the car, and I couldn't go far." Lu Ruchan sighed slightly, "I haven't been able to go back, but Rin has been there twice." ”

Lu Rin's grandparents died one after another, and his last wish was to return to his roots and return to his hometown for burial, and Lu Rin did it himself twice.

Yan Heqing held the chopsticks and picked up the beef ribs, and then another pair of chopsticks fell on his plate.

It is a fried dough stick stuffed with shrimp puree.

Then another piece of pineapple.

Yan Heqing raised his eyes, and Lu Rin calmly withdrew the chopsticks, "I tried it, but it wasn't too sweet." ”

Last time in Lu Rin's office, he mentioned that the shredded pork in Beijing sauce was too sweet.

Yan Heqing silently gnawed on the beef ribs, picked up the fritters, wrapped in the prepared salad condensed milk sauce, the sweetness stopped, the fritters were crisp, the shrimp paste was fresh and sweet, and the sweet and sour pineapple was indeed appetizing.

He himself clipped it a few more times.

After dinner, according to her usual habits, Lu Ruchan was about to prepare to rest.

She was so happy today that she extended it for two hours.

She especially likes to listen to Yan Heqing speak, the young man's voice is clear, with an unhurried calmness, and it is very comfortable to listen to.

Yan Heqing knew that Lu Ruchan had been recuperating in the mountains for decades and had little contact with the outside world, so he told Lu Ruchan some of what he had seen and heard when he was working.

Lu Rin went to the kitchen and came out with a fruit bowl after a while.

Lu Ruchan couldn't eat fruit after dinner, and the plate was full of blueberries.

Lu Ruchan listened to her thoughts, and when she came back to her senses, it was almost midnight, and Lu Ruchan whispered, "It's been another year." ”

Her voice was extremely low, Yan Heqing didn't hear clearly, he came closer, "What did you say?" ”

Lu Ruchan had a smile in her eyes, she gently grabbed Yan Heqing's hand, held it with both hands, and her face was full of love, "I said that there will be New Year's fireworks at 12 o'clock, for ten minutes." ”

"There is a place in the garden that is not covered, which is the best place to watch the fireworks, and every year there are people who want to pay to come up and watch it, let Rin take you to see it later."

She patted the back of Yan Heqing's hand, withdrew her hand and smiled slightly, "I'm sleepy, go back to my room to rest." ”

Lu Rin wanted to send her back to the room, but Lu Ruchan controlled the wheelchair by herself, "I can do it at such a distance." You, accompany Xiao Heqing well. ”

Lu Ruchan went back to the room, and the living room quieted down.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, there was already faint movement, and 12 o'clock was approaching.

Lu Rin walked out, "Let's go." ”

Yan Heqing got up, carried the paper bag, and went out with Lu Rin.

Chapter 47 047

The snow has stopped outside.

Directly in front of the villa's garden is a large lawn, waist-high fence, with dry rose branches entwined in the wooden latticework, overlooking the starry lights in the distance.

It is a small town some distance from the foot of the mountain, with a small permanent population, but there is a New Year's fireworks show every year, and many citizens come from the city to watch fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve.
