Quan Yifeng returned home this evening, opened the door, walked in to have a look, then backed out, quietly looked at the number plate outside the door, and then walked in again calmly.

Ji Lian, who was almost buried under the suitcase, witnessed the whole scene of Quan Yifeng's ignorance of his family through a gap above his head. He thought, he can't blame this idiot. It had been a long time since he returned home before it was completely dark, and it was not surprising that he couldn't get used to the beautiful scene of the sunset at home for a while.

"Crack." Quan Yifeng turned on the light in the living room, obviously able to receive Ji Lian's strong presence, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Ji Lian—" There was no movement, "Meow—"

"Who is this?" A fluffy man appeared in the middle of two large suitcases.

"This is where we are," Quan Yifeng pointed to the boxes in the living room, and asked uncertainly, "Do you want to move?"

Ji Lian precisely stuffed the last bag into a corner that fit perfectly in size, then crossed and buckled the partition straps in the middle of the box, and finally closed the two-sided box and zipped it, perfect.He patted the ashes on his hands that didn't actually exist, and said to Quan Yifeng: "This box is for Ji Jing to go camping tomorrow, and those two are for you to go back to your hometown tomorrow."

Quan Yifeng glanced secretly at the ragged rucksack hanging on the hook in the entrance.Tomorrow, their family will come out in full force. Ji Jing is going to participate in the camp organized by their school, and he will kidnap Ji Lian to go back to his hometown. This is what the mother mentioned before when she came to Ji Lian's house for dinner to discuss the matter of rebuilding the ancestral house.

On the way back, he was still thinking about whether he should give up his only backpack to Ji Jing, and he just took some other pocket and stuffed a few changes of underwear and it was over.However, looking at the scene in front of him, although he was a little surprised, he quickly adjusted his mentality: Anyway, someone helped clean up, so it's possible that he still has to pick and choose?It's so out of character for him.

As for what exactly Ji Lian stuffed into the suitcase, Quan Yifeng thinks there is no need to worry at all, anyway, what Ji Lian needs at that time is the right one.Alright, let's cook.

Ji Jing, who was doing homework in the room, heard the noise outside the house, and poked his head out: "Boss, you are back."

"Ji Jing, do you want to come cook with me? Don't sit and write at the desk as soon as you get home, be careful not to become a four-eyed boy." Quan Yifeng rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start working.

Ji Lian walked behind him and tied the belt of his apron, saying, "Do you have any opinion on those who wear glasses?"

"No objection," Quan Yifeng quickly turned to look at Ji Lian, "Ke Swen looks good with glasses."

Ji Jing silently made a face at the air.He took out a stack of papers from his schoolbag, handed them to Ji Lian together with the pen in his hand, and said, "Uncle Ji, these are the test papers for the exam. The teacher said he would sign for the parents."

"Hey, boy, it's not bad, every paper has a lot of points." Quan Yifeng leaned over and watched the test papers flying in Ji Lian's hands, and his movements of washing rice and vegetables in his hands were not affected at all.Although Ji Jing still doesn't quite understand the difference between a top student and a bad student, his intuition tells him that this kind of praise from the Quan Boss is not necessarily a good thing.

"Well, the science is progressing very well, and the arts are not bad, just give me more time to get used to it." Ji Lian made a brief comment while signing.

Quan Yifeng's soup pot was already on fire, and he had no right to speak about the topics on Ji Jing's paper that he knew me but I didn't know him, but suddenly remembered that today is only September No. 20, and asked, "Hey, yes Oh, you've only been in school for three weeks, didn't you learn something? Why did you just pass the exam? Ji Lian, you didn't mean to enroll him in some kind of bloody school, did you? "

Ji Jing's thesaurus has not been updated to the level of synchronization with Quan Yifeng, and he is at a loss about the "chicken and duck blood" school.Ji Lian explained to him: "Don't listen to your boss' nonsense, this is a regular exam for the beginning of the third year of junior high school. Is there anything you don't understand about today's homework?"

"Not yet." Ji Jing shook his head, then went back to his room to continue his homework.

Ji Lian and Quan Yifeng stood together in the small kitchen, there was not enough space.Seeing him thinking about something, Quan Yifeng asked him in a low voice: "What's the matter? Is it because Ji Xiaojing's test scores are not satisfactory?"

"It's just that his grades are too ideal."

"Then you still look worried?"

"Actually, with Ji Jing's talent for learning, it is only a necessary transition for us to choose the third grade of junior high school for him now. The homework of the first and second grades of junior high school is too easy for him. I can say with certainty that if Give him a year or so of purposeful training in his studies, even if he is sent directly to take the college entrance examination, he won’t fail the exam. But I don’t want him to go that way.”

"I understand that you want him to have a normal and healthy growth environment. A child who stands out too much in reality is easily regarded as a freak. For children, it is better to have a comprehensive and balanced development."

Ji Lian nodded, took out a spoonful of salt from the seasoning box, and was about to pour it into the soup pot, when Quan Yifeng quickly stopped his movement, saving a pot of good soup for their family's dinner.Ji Lian let Quan Yifeng take the small seasoning spoon away from his hand, he didn't care much, and then said: "Ji Jing is only taking the school exam for the first time, and such results are not too impressive, but the more he goes , his achievements will definitely be more difficult to hide, I am just worried that it will attract some excessive attention."

"You, don't worry too much. Ji Jing's previous ten years were not in vain. You can give him proper guidance." Quan Yifeng said, put down the spatula, and raised his strong right arm Perform the standard movements of a bodybuilder, "Besides, there is me, and I don't even look at who Ji Xiaojing's backer is."

Ji Lian was amused by him again, and wiped all the oil on the sleeve of the bodybuilder's white shirt, "Yes, yes, please cover it up."

Having said that, after repeatedly coaxing and convincing Ji Lian to go back to his hometown with him, Ji Lian once again deeply experienced Quan Yifeng's brilliant tongue when he was at full power. Got into his trap.

"I just want to take you out for a vacation." Quan Yifeng said at the dinner table, "When you start school, the school's tasks are teaching, leading students, and doing projects, or running between the school and the police station. , I'm really afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm going to go back to school soon after school starts. I'm about to become a visiting professor."

"Take it easy, don't think that I can fool me because I don't know much about school. By the way, my mother called me just now and told us to go out before seven o'clock tomorrow, so as to be able to catch the lunch at the second uncle's house." Speaking of the second uncle's family, Quan Yifeng suddenly got excited, "Let me tell you, the son-in-law of the second uncle, who is also my uncle, his hand-made dishes are delicious in the world, and they are paired with the unique delicacies in the mountains. Hexian, tsk tsk tsk. The dried bamboo shoots there are soaked in mountain spring water overnight before cooking, cut into strips so wide, and boiled in chicken soup for a good taste. Or paired with local pork and scallions, Let’s have a stir-fry. The pork is also a must. Have you ever seen wild boars raised on the mountain? Although it seems that there is a policy not to let pigs be released on the mountain, but the meat can’t help it..."

Speaking of the second uncle, the son-in-law and the local specialties of his hometown, Quan Yifeng described it vividly.While eating what was in the bowl, Ji Jing imagined what was in the pot, he swallowed a little slower and couldn't hold back the saliva that was about to overflow.He was still chewing on the colorful and fragrant cola chicken wings, but he seemed to be able to smell the tempting aroma of the big pot of stewed chicken with dried bamboo shoots that the boss described.

Quan Yifeng looked at the reincarnation of the starved ghost beside him, patted his head and said: "Whenever the three of us can get together for the holiday, I will take you there."

Ji Jing nodded vigorously, the sauce on the chicken wings stained his nose.

"Is your school going to the reservoir tomorrow?" Ji Lian asked as he took out two tissues and handed them to him.

"Well, it's in the wetland park next to the reservoir."

"I know it well." Quan Yifeng said.

"Didn't your family live here all the time? It's quite far from the city center."

"Young people's poems and distant places, you scholars don't understand. When we were children, we used to meet the children on the whole street, and we would ride bicycles there for half a day, catch fish and shrimps, swim and take a bath, and then Then I will go home by bicycle for half a day."

"Wow, is it so fun there?" Ji Jing listened, showing a rare child's excited expression.

"Hey, but boy, you can't play like that. Although your water skills are not bad, but there, I don't know now, people drowned every year in the past, and generally the drowned people can swim. You Don't go into the water this time, you know?"

"Double standards." Ji Jing pouted.

Ji Lian hurriedly put down his chopsticks, and said earnestly: "Your boss didn't just scare you this time, there are inexplicable dangers hidden under the surface of the wild water. He didn't know how many meals of stewed rattan by your grandma when he was a child." As for the article, it’s so lawless. Have you read all the travel precautions issued by the school?"

Ji Jing nodded obediently, although he was scolded by the two elders in turn, he was still very happy for some reason.

"I'm only going out tomorrow. Seeing that you are happy now, safety first, remember? Don't let your Uncle Ji worry."

Ji Jing was so happy in his heart that he couldn't manage his mouth well for a while, and blurted out: "Boss Quan, Uncle Ji, you say, I feel like my parents, isn't that what I am now?"
