reborn stepfather

Chapter 11

Wei Heng led the two of us, father and son, around and into a restaurant deep in the alley.

The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. This shop has no signboard, so there is a small blackboard at the door, which reads "Steamed Chicken with Lotus Leaf".

Wei Heng is obviously a frequent visitor. He opened the plastic curtain hanging from the door, and the shop owner who was busy greening by the steamer raised his head and smiled: "Still the same?"

"Here's a lotus leaf chicken, and another piece of stuffed tofu." Wei Heng said two words, then turned to ask, "What do you want?"

The owner of the shop interjected: "It's autumn now, and it's boiled with dried lotus leaves. It doesn't have the fragrance of summer. Why don't you have Three Cups of Chicken? They use native chicken from the mountains, and the meat is very tender." She wiped it with her hands. Wearing an apron, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes piled up while smiling, "Yipin Guo is also very good, with chicken, duck and fish in it, and mushrooms and bamboo shoots are also fresh."

"Okay?" Wei Heng turned his head and asked. I looked down at Chi Qian and saw him nodding. Three Cups of Chicken, one Yipin Pot, fried sweet potato leaves, and Yong Tau Foo."

"Okay, it'll be fine soon."

We found an Eight Immortals table and sat down. The three-cup chicken was steamed. There was a cup of wine, a cup of lard, and a cup of soy sauce in the pot. Without adding any soup, we took a few bamboo chopsticks and stuck them in the middle of the pot. Put the chicken on top, cover it, and cook it on high heat for half an hour. The aroma comes out, even people walking on the street can smell it.

The owner of the shop opened the cover, and white mist rose with a whiff, and the aroma was overflowing. Chi Qian held the chopsticks in one hand and the spoon in the other. That little greedy cat, I'm really worried that he'll break his neck.

"Uncle, your Three Cup Chicken." The child's crisp voice sounded.

Seeing that the fingers of the child serving the dishes were all red, I quickly took the plate. When I looked up, he gave me a grateful smile: "Thank you uncle."

I froze for a moment, the turbulent waves in my heart almost made me cover the whole chicken on Wei Heng's face opposite.

How could it be him!

I sat on the bench and didn't recover for a second.

How could it be him...Although the child is young now, and the appearance of clear noodles in clear soup is somewhat different from the person I remember with the enchanting eyeliner, the facial features of a person will not change no matter how big they are I recognized him at a glance - isn't he the one who danced in tight leather pants at the high school graduation party and confessed his love to Chi Qian in public!

In his previous life, Chi Qian was a cadre of the student union in middle and high schools, and he had a wide range of contacts, but I have never seen him bring any classmate home, except for this baby-several times, I can see this baby and Chi when I come home from get off work. Move in the room to do homework.

Deliver fruit to them, as soon as the door is pushed open, you can see that such a big table, this baby has to squeeze head to head on the edge of the pool, I feel awkward for Chi Qian, but I have always disliked sticky pools But Qian didn't push him away.

If I hadn't seen him confessing his love to Chi Qian with a microphone at the graduation party, I might not have doubted their pure classmate relationship.

But he did.In front of all the teachers and students of the school, under the shining spotlights, as if trying to exhaust all my strength and lifelong courage, I declared loudly to the world: "Chi Qian, I love you!"

I still remember the feeling of being overwhelmed by the sea of ​​​​sounds that boiled and screamed offstage.

The eardrums buzzed and vibrated, and my mind was washed blank by extreme shock. It took me a while to find the nerves and reason that had been blown away. At that time, my first reaction was to turn my head to look at Chi Qian.

The situation is extremely provocative, and I'm afraid he's moved by the boy who bet his future.

Luckily his eyes fell on me at the time.

I held his hand tightly: "You can't promise him."

I remember Chi Qian's smile suddenly unfolded at that time, he stared at me very tenderly and said, "Well, I won't promise him."

At the moment, he was relieved that he never doubted his sexual orientation.

Who knows... that night of drunkenness...=_=

Too careless.

Chi Qian's irrational behavior was more or less influenced by this baby.

The friends who are inseparable every day sometimes do more to shape a person than the parents who have worked so hard to raise them.

And according to my memory, they have been classmates at least in junior high school, and they have been hooking up shoulder to shoulder for a long time!

I couldn't help the alarm bells ringing in my heart - no matter what I said in this life, I can't let him hook up with our little friend Chi Ajuan, otherwise my long-cherished wish of bringing my son back to the "straight" road in life may come to naught. I can't allow this something happens.

"dad?"

Xiao Chiqian's immature voice made me startled, I came back to my senses, took a few deep breaths, and pressed the chaotic thoughts just now to the bottom of my heart, I picked up the chopsticks and tore a chicken leg for Chiqian.

At this time, the other three dishes were also served. Seeing that Chi Qian didn't pay attention to the baby serving the dishes, I was secretly relieved.

They are still young, I don't need to be suspicious now.

After I figured it out, I began to gossip about Second Brother and Wei Heng while enjoying the feast in front of me.

In my mind, I don’t remember that the second brother and Wei Heng had this episode. I heard that people’s memory is not 100% correct. I used to think that Zheng Zeshi, who played Fat Cat, died very early. I am still alive I saw his memorial service on TV, but it was obvious that he was alive and well. Before I was reborn, I saw a TV series in which he appeared.

Maybe it’s because of myself, I never thought of taking Chiqian home to cultivate relationships with old people in my previous life, what was I doing then?Oh...it seems to be busy with research projects, and I want to publish some academic papers to praise the senior title... Maybe it's because of this reason that my eldest brother didn't call to bother me, and Wei Heng's personality is not special Nag about these things with me, or he just mentioned them lightly, and then after a long time, I forgot.

I seem to have missed a lot of good things because of this.

Facing my gossip, Wei Heng did not hide it: "One day I went to sketch on the mountain behind your house, and when I came back, I took a small path and passed under the window of your house." Wei Heng picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and got drunk. Sauce, "Your brother opened the window to collect the clothes and dropped his underwear on my drawing board. He yelled at me at that time. I thought I didn't hear it, so I hung your brother's disgusting thing with big red and white dots on it." Swimmed three streets."

Speaking of this, he paused with his chopsticks, raised his head and sighed at me, "Why did your brother buy such a flamboyant pair of underwear? You don't know how frightened my dad looked at me when I came home. …”

I silently picked up a piece of tofu and held back my laughter, "What happened next?"

"Didn't you go on a blind date? The blind date was arranged by my dad. I don't know what went wrong. I was shocked when I saw it was a man. I thought my dad had taken the wrong medicine when he was old." Wei Heng He continued with a flat face, "At first I didn't know it was your brother, and I didn't have any impression of him, but the first thing he said to me was 'Hey, give me my red underwear back'."

"Pfft." In the end, I couldn't hold on, I lay on Chi Qian's shoulder and couldn't stop laughing.

Chi Qian, who seemed to have no humor cells yet, patted me on the back calmly, and taught me old-fashionedly: "Dad, you can't laugh when you eat, you will get angry when you laugh."

Didn't he just laugh out loud.

Wei Heng glanced at me and said nothing, but I understood his eyes - goodbye, our friendship has come to an end.

After laughing for 5 minutes, I picked up the chopsticks again and tore a piece of chicken to eat. The chicken was steamed deliciously and very delicious. The most valuable thing is that the meat of the chicken itself is more delicate than ordinary chicken. The meat has no fishy smell and will not stick Tooth, this is the first time I have eaten such a delicious chicken.

"This chicken is so special." I am amazed.

"This is a native chicken raised on the mountain, not for food." Wei Heng pointed his chopsticks at the cage on the stove and said, "They use native chicken for their dishes, and their cooking is very famous around here."

"The cost of this kind of chicken is higher than the feed, right?"

The meat quality is completely different from the so-called local chicken advertised in the supermarket.

Simply win.

"On the contrary, you usually spend money to build chicken coops, buy a large amount of feed, and provide water and electricity to raise chickens. For this kind of chicken, you only need to have a mountain and land, and spend a little money to build a simple shed to prevent rain. The chicken raised on the mountain can eat grass seeds and worms by itself, and drink mountain spring water, and the cost is very low.” Wei Heng shook his chopsticks and said, “And this kind of chicken always runs in the mountains, there is no fat on the body, and the meat is special. Strong, chickens and eggs are very expensive."

"Why are you so clear?" It's strange, isn't an artist like Wei Heng quite out-of-this-world?

"...My dad talks about helping farmers to raise native chickens every day at the dinner table to make political achievements. My ears are numb from hearing it." Wei Heng sighed, "He also specially raised two chickens in the yard. Three yellow chickens, you don’t know how frightened the deputy mayor Zheng of Xiamen was when he came down to inspect and saw my dad waiting around behind the chicken’s buttocks to lay eggs…”

Listening to Wei Heng's words, I suddenly had a whimsical idea.

This may be a business opportunity.

I reached out my chopsticks and tapped Wei Heng's bowl: "Have you given the mountain bun behind your house to someone else?"

"No." Wei Heng lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, "I often have to sketch there, so why would I entrust it to others?"

"Great!" I clapped my hands happily, turned my head and said to Chi Qian, "Juan, let's go to Uncle Wei Heng's house tomorrow to raise chickens, okay?"

Chi Qian raised his head from the bowl in a daze, with a grain of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth. He probably didn't even hear what I said, but he nodded in support of me without asking why: "Okay, go to Uncle Wei Heng's house to raise chickens."

"Okay, then it's such a happy decision!"

"...Hey." Wei Heng tilted his head and looked at me helplessly, "Don't think that one thing is one thing, raising chickens is not so easy, maybe you will lose money, you alone If a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken can't be your teacher, what's the trouble?"

"I don't have any classes this semester." I raised my eyebrows and made a pitiful expression, "I can't just stay at home and watch TV all winter, can I?"

Wei Heng must want to refuse, his mountain is full of red maple and ginkgo, and there is a piece of osmanthus with flowers in the warm valley. If there are a group of chickens with flapping wings and cooing, he should be able to paint. Want to jump off the mountain.I had no choice but to pull Chi Qian over and sighed, "If you don't help me, this kid will starve with me."

Wei Heng don't start, resist passively.

I gave Chi Qian a wink, Chi Qian understood, jumped off the stool, walked up to Wei Heng, and called out very sadly: "Uncle Wei."

Wei Heng raised his head reflexively, and Chi Qian's eyes, which had been switched on, were filled with tears: "Uncle, can you lend the land to my father? I don't want to be hungry anymore. I used to be hungry... Grandma was buried on the mountain, and the rice at home was taken away by the uncle, who refused to give me food, only the little cousin would secretly give me some rice, but not every day, Once my little cousin gave me a sour meal, and my grandma said I couldn’t eat the sour meal, but I was so hungry at that time, so I ate the sour meal. The meal was so unpalatable, and my stomach hurt after eating it. , but I dare not spit it out, I am afraid that the next time my little cousin goes out to study, I will not even have sour rice... Uncle, I don’t want to be hungry anymore, and I don’t want to eat sour rice anymore It's..."

"Okay, okay, I'll lend the land to your father, don't cry." Wei Heng panicked, and quickly bent down to wipe away the tears from the corners of Chi Qian's eyes.

Chi Qian forgot to hide it when he heard it, and ran back happily to give me a high-five: "Dad, Dad, Uncle Wei Heng agreed to borrow our land to raise chickens! We don't have to go hungry..." His voice was weak Go down, stop the car in front of me, and speak carefully, "...Dad, why are you crying?"

"It's not crying, Dad just ate chili."

He stood on tiptoe and wiped my face bit by bit with his sleeve: "Dad, don't be sad, I just lied."

"Yeah." I hugged him, my tight arms trembling uncontrollably.

I don't know how to describe it.

Did you in your previous life also starve while waiting for me to pick you up?

Did you in your previous life pretend like nothing happened while longing for me to care about you?

How can I remedy it.
