Society owes me a brother

The class reunion after get off work will be at Lu's newly opened firewood stew.In order to express their support for their son, Lu's father and Lu's mother chose to close the door early in order to entertain Lu Chi's classmates.

When Lu Chi arrived at the hotel, the friends had already arrived.With hot firewood burning in the stove, Father Lu asked the kitchen to butcher four domesticated little stupid chickens that weighed at least ten catties, and also packed up two big fat-headed fish half a person's height, plus golden-yellow pieces of wild potatoes. The finger-wide vermicelli with hazel mushrooms and miscellaneous wild vegetables were thrown into three large iron pots, and the stew was bubbling and bubbling.

The restaurant was so hot that even with the air conditioner turned on, there was no cool air.Everyone couldn't sit still at the dining table, so they simply wandered around in the restaurant, looking at the very rustic-style blue brick walls, earthen kang, large pot stove, kerosene lamps, red lanterns, and various lights in the shape of revolving horse lanterns. .And the decorative corn cobs, red peppers, red girls and various wild vegetables hanging on the wall, and the four seasons scenery of Lujia Village framed in solid wood photo frames.Stairs made of solid wood, as well as various simple folk paintings hanging on the two walls of the corridor, string baskets, bamboo sieves...

Yue Bin brought all the cameras here. Originally, he wanted to take a few photos of the party as souvenirs, but now he was attracted by the decoration style of the firewood stew. The lens focused on every corner of the hotel, taking pictures constantly.

After seeing Lu Chi's voice, a large group of people cheered up and said excitedly: "Lu Chi, your restaurant is really fun. The kitchen is called the outhouse, and there is such a small rock in it. Grinding, uncle and aunt said it is used to grind beans..."

Mother Lu brought a large plate of freshly fried sticky bean buns from the kitchen. The appearance was golden and sizzling, and there was a layer of snow-white marshmallows on the side, which looked very beautiful.

Hearing the discussion of Lu Chi's classmates, Lu's mother said with a smile: "The tofu made from our own soy milk is more delicious than the ones sold in the market. It will taste better if it is stewed with the fat head fish for two hours."

"The chicken and fish will take another hour to cook. If you are hungry, eat some sticky bean buns..."

As Lu's mother was talking, Lu Chi, who went straight into the kitchen after entering the restaurant, brought out two large plates of pot-wrapped meat and candied sweet potatoes with a smile.Suddenly, the smell of sweet and sour and the sweet and greasy aroma rushed to his face, Yue Bin raised his hand excitedly and said, "I love this."

With that said, Yue Bin raised his camera again: "Wait a minute, I'll take a picture first."

Lu Chi directly brought the dishes to the table and looked around: "Did Jin Xiaobao and the others come?"

While taking pictures, Yue Bin said, "I called them, and they said they would come over later. They also said they would give us a big surprise. It's very mysterious, and I don't know what to do."

While talking, Xing Yuan and Cui Zhenyang, who had just rushed over from the city basketball team, couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks. One was holding a pot of meat and the other was holding a sticky bean bag. Lu Chi stood outside and directed, "Dip some! Soup... dipped in sugar..."

Just listen to the sound of crackling, the fried golden pot meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with sweet and sour syrup, it is not too delicious.The fried golden sticky bean buns are also crispy, crispy and sticky. Thin glutinous rice is wrapped with glutinous red bean paste. The taste is crispy at first and then becomes sticky. The rich sweet taste spreads in the mouth and tastes good. It's incredible.

Several howls sounded behind them, and everyone was so frightened that they almost swallowed the delicious food in their mouths. They all choked and rolled their eyes, beat their chests and stomped their feet, and looked back, only to find a group of drag racing gangsters standing at the door of the restaurant with miserable expressions on their faces. It's comparable to smashing through grandma and having an affair!

"What are you doing!" Qiao Shiyu gulped down a few mouthfuls of corn juice while touching her chest, and complained very dissatisfied: "I almost choked to death because of you!"

"You guys actually eat ahead of time without waiting for us!" Jin Xiaobao also had dissatisfaction all over his face: "Can the boat of friendship still sail happily?"

"Then let it be turned over!" Qiao Shiyu waved her hand nonchalantly, took another piece of sticky bean bun and ate it slowly.

The other friends were so focused on eating that they didn't even raise their heads.

"Oh, you are really..." Jin Xiaobao angrily ran up to push away the crowd, grabbed a piece of hot pot meat with his hands and threw it into his mouth with a grin.

Lu Chi couldn't take it anymore and knocked off the back of Jin Xiaobao's hand: "You grabbed something to eat without washing your hands."

"If you don't eat your debts, you will be eaten by Ni Meng..." Jin Xiaobao mumbled his excuse with puffed cheeks.After swallowing a piece of pot-packed meat, he said with a satisfied smile: "It's delicious."

Lu's mother smiled and said, "If it's delicious, you can eat more. Don't worry, if it's not enough, I'll let the kitchen do it again."

"Thank you, Auntie." Jin Xiaobao said, suddenly remembered something, took two extra gorgeous gift bags from Shi Xiaohang's hand, and handed them to Mother Lu: "It's my first visit, this is a gift for you and uncle."

"Oh, that's too polite." Lu's mother was caught off guard and a little surprised: "You child, you just come to have a meal, why do you still send something!"

"It should be." Although Jin Xiaobao owed a little in front of his peers, he was used to being courteous and obedient in front of his elders, especially female elders.He pointed to a group of brothers behind him (even the people from the campus network are included in the circle), and said with a smile: "This is what we all want."

"You can represent yourselves, we've already delivered them all." Cui Zhenyang snorted.Because of the past at the racecourse and the night market, he has always had a grudge against the drag racing gang. Even though everyone has met and smiled at each other now, Cui Zhenyang still doesn't like to see these people.

The drag racing party didn't care too much.In Jin Xiaobao's words: "I can't be more serious with a depressed man who is broken up in love and has not yet come out of his psychological shadow!"

Of course Cui Zhenyang didn't know Jin Xiaobao's evaluation of him.If they knew, it is estimated that the two of them would have to fight again.

Although the fried sticky bean buns, candied sweet potatoes and pot-packed meat made by Lu's father are large, Lu Chi's friends are more.A group of seventeen and eighteen-year-olds with good appetites besieged three plates of snacks—especially the sweet and sour taste that children of this age like, and it took only a few minutes for the three plates to bottom out .

Lu Chi sat next to him and didn't eat much, but reminded with a smile: "Eat less, don't eat when the main course is on the table."

"This kind of situation doesn't exist." Xing Yuan rubbed his belly and smiled, "Eat as much as you have, there will be absolutely no leftovers."

Yue Bin laughed out loud, and took a photo of Lu Chi - next to the kerosene lamp with a sense of age, a handsome young man in a suit and leather shoes sat leaning against the wall, with his head bowed and a smile, as if the time was intertwined, under the warm light Shining on the blue brick wall and the boy's body, the light and shadow are mottled and scattered, outlining a faint outline. Looking through the lens, even the years are smothered with gentle ripples, smudged with the hot breath.

Yue Bin was slightly taken aback, for some reason, he subconsciously moved the camera away and took a purposeless photo, covering up the previous one.Then when everyone clamored to look at the camera, he put the camera away calmly: "It's almost out of battery. I have to save it for taking pictures during meals. I will upload your photos back to the campus network, and you can keep them yourself. "

After finishing speaking, Yue Bin looked at Jin Xiaobao again, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you say that you want to give us a big surprise? What kind of surprise?"

Yue Bin's topic shifted so naturally that no one noticed anything wrong.Instead, they followed Yue Bin's words and looked at Jin Xiaobao one after another.

Jin Xiaobao chuckled, and raised his eyebrows at everyone: "Since it's a big surprise, of course we have to save it until the end."

"Don't be a fool!" Xing Yuan grabbed Jin Xiaobao's neck: "Hurry up and talk."

"I hate people who are taller than me getting too close to me!" Jin Xiaobao struggled to get rid of Xing Yuan: "I seem to be shorter, okay?"

Xing Yuan took two steps back with a smile, and asked, "Okay, I'm going away, you can tell me quickly."

Jin Xiaobao snorted, leaned in front of everyone, glanced furtively at the kitchen, then lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "You know, there are many places in Yanjing that have that kind of clubhouse? That's it. Kind of... ahem, you know, let teenagers bid farewell to youthfulness..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and blurted out, "What are you doing?"

"Whatever expression you have!" Jin Xiaobao looked at everyone with a look of disgust: "I just want to say, I've already found a place, let's learn a lot together!"

"It's still not necessary!" The friends replied in unison.Everyone looked at Jin Xiaobao and the drag racing gang with lingering fear.And once again confirmed that everyone's three views are really different-this is not a surprise, it is obviously a shock, okay?

"Cut. You guys are too old-fashioned!" Huang Mao, who had been planning enthusiastically for several days but had no support from his partners, curled his lips in disappointment: "Aren't you curious?"

A group of friends squinted their eyes slightly, looked at Jin Xiaobao who was eager to try, fell silent for a while, and asked secretly at the same time, "You don't know..."

"How is it possible!" Jin Xiaobao's hair exploded immediately, and his dyed golden yellow hair was bouncing on the top of his head, following the master's angry voice: "If I don't go, I won't go, I don't want to take it with me." You guys who have never seen the world go! Shame!"

Huang Mao, who was unanimously complained and even suspicious by everyone, picked up the chopsticks angrily, turning his grief and anger into appetite.Shi Xiaohang, who was sitting next to him, had a smile on his face, and even picked several kinds of chicken drumsticks for Huang Mao.

Zhuo Zhuo moved to Lu Chi's side, raised his eyebrows secretly: "Look at him like this, he must be..."

Lu Chi looked at Zhuoyou's mouth shape that automatically silenced the sound, and nodded secretly: "I think so too."

This night's class reunion started with Huang Mao's turning grief and anger into food, which directly took away the style of the whole party.So that after eating, everyone was full.I had to stroll to the nearby KTV and sing songs for half a night to eliminate my food.As for the big surprise of the so-called after-dinner event that Jin Xiaobao devoted himself to, it was ignored by everyone who was interested in it.

The angry Jin Xiaobao ordered several versions of the Great Compassion Mantra and the Diamond Sutra one after another in the private room of the KTV!

In the next few days, everyone flew to various countries and cities one after another to start their university life.Lu Chi and Zhuoyue also went to University A to report.After working for a few days, Lu Chi received a call from Gu Linlin.

Finally unable to hold back, Gu Linlin directly invited Lu Chi to a coffee shop near University A.

In the private room with an elegant environment but a small space, Gu Linlin took out a brown paper document bag, handed it to Lu Chi, and asked mysteriously, "Lu Chi, do you want to take on a private job?"

Lu Chi glanced at the file bag on the table.Under the dim light of the coffee shop, the tawny kraft paper looked even more dim.

Lu Chi leaned on the back of the sofa in the booth, smelling the mellow and fragrant smell of freshly ground coffee, and said with a smile: "I don't want to."
