Qianzhou

In order not to delay the shooting progress, the crew of "Ruthless Sword" only had two days off on New Year's Eve, and they had to go back to the crew to shoot night scenes on the first night of the New Year's Eve.On the morning of New Year's Eve, He Yan rushed back to Fengcheng by plane. When he got home, he learned from the nanny that his father had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday. He jumped up from the sofa in anger. He didn't say anything to blame. He stopped talking when he saw his father's thin cheeks. .

He Mingzhang shook the newspaper in his hand, "I'll be fine with this old problem, just sit down and eat your banana."

The time-saving lunch on New Year's Eve is mainly for saving time. The nanny cooks three small dishes and asks the father and son to eat.

He Yan was still worried, first he called his father's doctor to inquire about the situation carefully, and before sitting at the dining table, he asked the nanny what his father ate and did before he became ill, and he had to pay attention to control in the future.

He Mingzhang: "Okay, I'm out of the hospital. Don't look at me losing a few pounds. The doctor said that my indicators are much better than last year."

This is true, He Yan also heard the doctor say it on the phone just now.

The nanny smiled and said: "I think it's Xiaoye's credit. You don't know how happy you are to have him play chess with you every day."

He Yan: "Xiaoye?"

When He Mingzhang heard the nanny's words, he frowned and put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to He Yan, "Congzhou is alone in Fengcheng during the Chinese New Year. I told him to come to my house to celebrate the New Year yesterday. He said he has an appointment, but I don't think he wants to come. It's because of you. If you feel that you owe me these days, then you should have a better attitude and invite him to our house for the New Year, which can be regarded as filial piety."

He Yan muttered: "You don't need to tell me, I won't let him celebrate the New Year alone."

He Mingzhang: "What?"

He Yan finished the rice in the bowl with a few mouthfuls, got up and said, "Father, please rest assured, I will definitely bring Ye Congzhou over."

He Yan thought about inviting Ye Congzhou to his house for New Year's Eve before, but no need to ask, Ye Congzhou would definitely not do it.So I planned to harass Ye Congzhou after the New Year's Eve dinner with He Mingzhang today. I didn't expect my father to take the initiative to invite someone to come to celebrate the New Year. It was the right time and place.With the old man's words, it would be difficult for Ye Congzhou to refuse.

He Yan didn't know Ye Congzhou's address. What's even more strange was that Ye Congzhou didn't tell himself after he came back from Guangnan and changed his number. He didn't have time to deal with personal affairs as soon as he joined the group, and he never took the initiative to ask. I want a phone call.

Since Ye Congzhou could remember, this was the first New Year's Eve when he was alone.Before meeting He Yan, he lived with his father. After his father passed away, he and He Yan were together. Later, He Yan brought him home to meet He Mingzhang, and later there was Diwen. It was impossible for the family to be lively.

But this is also his first New Year's Eve after his new life, even if he is alone, he shouldn't be perfunctory.

So getting up early in the morning, Ye Congzhou went to the supermarket to do some shopping.

Ordinary families have prepared their New Year’s goods a long time ago. Today, there are not many people in the supermarket. Ye Congzhou is walking and watching while pushing the cart. It doesn't matter if you cook slowly according to the recipe with the raw materials.

As soon as he walked out of the supermarket after buying vegetables, Ye Congzhou received a call from an unknown person.

"I'm at Jiunan intersection, are you home? Which neighborhood?"

Ye Congzhou recognized He Yan's voice, and asked strangely, "Why are you here on Jiunan Road?"

He Yan: "It's Chinese New Year, I'll give you two bottles of good wine as a thank you for taking care of my dad these days."

Ye Congzhou: "...All right, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Hualian Supermarket in Luxi."

He Yan hooked his mouth and hung up the phone.Slowing down the speed of the car and looking towards the side of the road, he saw Ye Congzhou who was carrying a large plastic bag and got out of the car. He took the plastic bag in his hand without saying a word, and took him into the car with his arm.

Ye Congzhou: "Just turn right 200 meters ahead."

But He Yan turned the car around and drove back as if he didn't hear it.

Ye Congzhou: "Where are you going?!"

He Yan: "My family."

Ye Congzhou hurriedly said: "I won't go, you stop!"

He Yan glanced at him, he hadn't seen him for a few days, he seemed to be a little thinner, and the white turtleneck made his lips red and his teeth white.Unconsciously smiled and said: "Don't worry about it when you get on the thief boat. My father wants to invite you to my house for the New Year, and I dare not resist the order."

Ye Congzhou said angrily: "Are you asking? You are kidnapping!"

He Yan laughed loudly: "I'm lazy, and I like the easiest way."

Ye Congzhou closed his eyes and fell back on the car seat, his head turned to the right, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

He Yan looked at him in the rearview mirror, and said, "I really want to thank you, I didn't even know my dad was sick, and I feel very ashamed."

Ye Congzhou snorted, "This is the first time I've seen you thank Fa."

He Yan smiled: "Then I will toast you three cups while waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Ye Congzhou: "Why did you lie to me just now and say that you want to bring wine over?"

"I'm afraid you won't tell me the address." After He Yan finished speaking, he looked at Ye Congzhou carefully, and said slowly: "But then again, you are so good to my dad... for my sake?"

Although the tone was slow, there was a hint of teasing.

Ye Congzhou blinked uncomfortably a few times, opened his eyes and glanced at him coldly, "He Mingzhang still needs to borrow your face from He Yan?"

He Yan didn't like others to use his father's prestige to attack him the most, but this time after listening to it, not only was he not annoyed, but there was still a smile on his lips, and his eyes looked at Ye Congzhou's face from time to time.

Ye Congzhou cursed inwardly, and chose to continue closing his eyes.

When he arrived at He's house, He Yan originally thought that Ye Congzhou would have a cold face, but he didn't expect that he was much more pleasant to He Mingzhang than he was to himself.After the two chatted a few words casually, He Yan even felt that the two of them were more in line with the four words of father, kindness and son filial piety.

He Yan couldn't get in the way, and accidentally peeled a green orange. He used to think that this orange had a bitter taste, but now he felt a sweet taste from the root of his tongue to his heart.

The nanny made some dishes that needed to be stewed in advance and went to the living room, and said to Ye Congzhou, "What do you like to eat, Xiaoye? I have to cook some dishes for you later."

Ye Congzhou suddenly remembered that He Mingzhang liked to eat a kind of vegetarian meatballs he fried. It was a hometown dish he learned from his father when he was a child. The recipe is simple, but the taste is very special.He stood up and asked the nanny, "Aunt Chen, do you have long strips of white radish at home? I can make vegetarian meatballs, just for you to try."

The nanny said happily: "Yes, yes, you can still cook?"

Ye Congzhou: "I know one or two, I learned it when I was young."

So they all went to the kitchen. Aunt Chen quickly chopped radish, Ye Congzhou mixed the sauce, and seeing that He Yan was idle, she directed him to get the flour.

He Mingzhang was originally holding a teacup, but seeing that the three of them had work to do, he couldn't be idle anymore, so he washed his hands and made meatballs with them.The He family's kitchen is large, and it doesn't look crowded when all four people gather around the stove. Originally, Ye Congzhou was doing the cooking, but now it's four people putting meatballs in the oil pan together.

After frying the first dish, Ye Congzhou came to He Mingzhang, "Ms. He, try it?"

He Mingzhang gave a thumbs up immediately after eating one, "It's delicious!"

Several people ate while cooking, and the first plate of meatballs was quickly divided up.

"I remember when I was young, it was the same at home during Chinese New Year. My mother cooked dishes, and other people ate around. The first few dishes couldn't be served on the table at all." Aunt Chen couldn't keep her mouth shut, "Mr. , never go into the kitchen, the house has not been so lively for a long time."

He Yan immediately said: "Aunt Chen, are you taking this opportunity to blame me? Then I'll show off when Congzhou finishes frying the meatballs."

He Mingzhang raised his eyebrows: "You will?"

He Yan grinned: "I learned from filming."

A few plates of meatballs were fried, and it was already evening outside the window. The kitchen was filled with the smell of stewed meat and stewed meat, as well as the fresh aroma of vegetarian meatballs just out of the pan. Aunt Chen began to wash some ingredients for quick dishes. Ye Congzhou gave her help.

He Yan kept his word, occupied half of the console by himself, rolled up his sleeves and kneaded.

The vegetarian meatballs were very suitable for He Mingzhang's taste, but he didn't dare to eat too much, so he took a small bite and took a small bite.Leaning on the console, he watched He Yan and Mian.

He Yan and the good dough were put aside, and then he started to chop the beef mince, which was almost the same as a real cook.

He Mingzhang: "The acting is not bad."

Ye Congzhou couldn't help laughing.

He Yan: "Thank you Teacher He, I will continue to work hard."

With some help, Aunt Chen made it faster than in previous years, and all the dishes were served at seven o'clock.

He Yan brought a plate of beef boxes to the table at the end, and He Mingzhang picked up a piece and tasted it, "It's not bad."

He Yan glanced at Ye Congzhou, "Compared with Congzhou's vegetarian meatballs?"

He Mingzhang stuffed a ball into his mouth just now, "That's still a little bit close."

He Yan smiled: "I think so too."

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the four of them played cards around the mahjong table for a while. He Mingzhang had just been discharged from the hospital and couldn't stay up late, and was urged to go to bed by the nanny as soon as ten o'clock arrived.He Mingzhang told Ye Congzhou, "Congzhou stay tonight, let's eat dumplings together tomorrow."

Ye Congzhou: "No Teacher He, my dad...I want to go back and offer incense sticks to him."

When He Mingzhang heard this, he couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay. He pointed to He Yan and said, "You send Congzhou home and then come back. Oh, and, bring a few boxes of dumplings made at home."

Ye Congzhou: "Thank you. Go to bed early, and I will come to see you later when I am free."

Ye Congzhou couldn't get a taxi on New Year's Eve, so Ye Congzhou didn't refuse He Yan to send him back.After getting in the car, Ye Congzhou found a comfortable position and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

He Yan couldn't figure out if he was asleep, so he called his name softly, but when he didn't hear an answer, he turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the car, slowed down and drove towards Jiunan Road.

There is a faint sound of firecrackers in the distance, and there is a familiar intimacy in the car.

Since his mother's death, He Yan's New Year's Eve has been spent in a deserted and quiet place.During adolescence, his relationship with his father deteriorated like a pair of enemies. Even if it improved later, he never returned to the intimacy of childhood.

Many times on New Year's Eve, when the father and son chatted casually about work, and went back to their bedrooms after watching nothing to watch on TV, He Yan always put on headphones and listened to music to fall asleep.

The family in the kitchen steals food, the familiar jokes at the dinner table, and the sound of cannons outside the house. These sounds and scenes that are unique to the Chinese New Year have been forgotten for so long.

He Yan turned his head and glanced at Ye Congzhou. He used to think that Ye Congzhou was sent by heaven to save him. Ye Congzhou compensated him once for his lost support and emotion, but he didn't expect to come to make up for the second time after many years.

When the car arrived at Jiunan intersection, He Yan woke up Ye Congzhou, asked the specific address, and sent him downstairs to the community unit.

Ye Congzhou unbuckled his seat belt, and the seat belt buckle of the car seat protruded a little for some reason, and Ye Congzhou's clothes were caught in the gap. He groped with his upper body bent, and He Yan reached out to help when he saw this.

The hands of the two touched each other beside the car seat, and the corners of He Yan's lips were slightly pursed. Seeing Ye Congzhou's slender fingers breaking the buckle, he involuntarily spread his hands to wrap around his hands, and then pulled the corners of his clothes through the gap together. Pulled out.

Ye Congzhou thanked him, opened the car door and went down.

He Yan watched the figure enter the corridor, then looked up, and a few minutes later a window on the ninth floor lit up.

He Yan withdrew his gaze, it was time for him to go back.

Putting his hands on the steering wheel, He Yan's movements stopped, Ye Congzhou's temperature still seemed to be lingering in the car, he turned his palms over, and the feeling of rubbing between his palms and the back of Ye Congzhou's hands seemed to be still there.He unconsciously shook hands.

Why didn't Ye Congzhou even ask him to go up for a glass of water?

He Yan sighed regretfully, looked back at the road conditions, and planned to turn around.Looking back for a moment, he suddenly remembered that there was still a large bag of things that Ye Congzhou bought in the supermarket in the morning in the trunk.He Yan was so overjoyed that he didn't even have time to put on his coat. He got out of the car and took the bag of things and ran into the elevator. After pressing the ninth floor, he felt that the seconds were like years, and he kept pacing in the elevator.As soon as the floor arrived, it flew out like an arrow.

Ye Congzhou had just set up his father's portrait and the incense burner when he heard the doorbell ring and walked over to look out through the peephole.

He Yan raised the plastic bag to the cat's eye.

Ye Congzhou opened the door and let him in.

He Yan glanced at the furnishings in the house, it was simple and clean, and looked very comfortable.

"Just when I was about to leave, I remembered that you still had something in my car, so I brought it up."

Ye Congzhou took the plastic bag, "Thank you."

He Yan was very excited just now, but when he entered the door, he ended up saying, "Well... do you want to sleep?"

Ye Congzhou: "Wait a while and sleep again."

The two were standing at the entrance, He Yan wanted to lift his legs to walk in, but he was embarrassed and froze in place for a while.

Ye Congzhou saw that He Yan looked at him silently, and asked strangely, "Aren't you going home?"

As if waking up from a big dream, He Yan hurriedly said, "Come back, I'll leave after I bring you the things."

Ye Congzhou: "Be careful on the road."

"Yeah." He Yan agreed and followed Ye Congzhou's movement to open the door, turned around and went out. He walked to the elevator and realized it later. Why did he come out so quickly? !
