My brother is so cool

Chapter 22 A Family Eating Hot Pot

The taxi drove in the direction of the university, and the road was smooth.

Lou Jin sat in the back seat, closed her eyes and meditated.

The neon lights flickering outside the window shone on his tightly closed eyelids, and he could vaguely see the constantly trembling eyeballs under the thin layer of skin.

Ji Yang entered the elevator only to find Xu Tianlang following behind him, he was startled, and then asked: "Hey, didn't you go first?"

Xu Tianlang pursed his lips and did not speak, he just pushed down the stairs, "faced the wall and thought about his mistakes", and only showed Ji Yang a back view.

Ji Yang smiled, leaned forward and said, "Lang Lang is so nice, I was a little dizzy, I didn't expect that after drinking so much, look, I forgot to press the floor just now, I can rest assured with my family by my side .”

Xu Tianlang remained silent, but stood upright, supporting Ji Yang's weight.

Ji Yang rubbed his head on Xu Tianlang's back, looked at the lights on the elevator, and smiled.

The next day was the weekend, Ji Yang didn't get up until after eight o'clock, and then drove Xu Tianlang home.

His father is coming back today.

By the way, let’s talk about Ji Yang’s internship at the company.

Ji Yang also happened to have something to talk to his father about.

Since the morning, Xu Tianlang's complexion was not very good. He didn't say a word in the car, and he didn't even play with his mobile phone. He just turned his face out of the window and looked all the way.

Ji Yang knew very well that for Xu Tianlang, the Ji family was like a cage that restrained him, suffocating him, and even frightening him.

The eldest aunt who always hits people, the cold-faced uncle who doesn't like to talk, and Ji Chengcheng who points at his nose and scolds him if he doesn't understand. Although the other two don't directly target him, most of the time they are ignored.

The child who borrowed from his relatives was always too sensitive, and he would magnify every word and deed of others countless times, but he didn't dare to resist too much, so his heart became increasingly distorted and hated.

In fact, Ji Yang also felt that Xu Tianlang was quite pitiful.

It's a pity that his mother taught the children that way, his father is a boring gourd, and Ji Chengcheng is really targeting Xu Tianlang. It will take a lot of time to resolve these conflicts.

For the time being, it can only come bit by bit.

So Ji Yang didn't go home directly, but drove Xu Tianlang to the supermarket, and the two went shopping together.

There is nothing that one meal of hot pot can't solve. If one meal is not enough, then two meals, three meals, four meals and five meals.

Ji Yang slowly pushed the cart, followed by Xu Tianlang who was walking slowly with a cane. After walking a few steps, Ji Yang asked: "Lang Lang, I remember you like lotus root very much, let's buy more."

"Lang Lang, I'm not familiar with this supermarket, please help me find out where it sells hot pot ingredients."

"Lang Lang, let's eat mandarin duck pot today. I learned how to make tomato base on the Internet. Don't you like tomatoes? What do you want to put in tomato soup?"

"Lang Lang..."

"Lang Lang..."

Xu Tianlang didn't want to respond at first, but then he couldn't hold back Ji Yang's nagging, so he answered in a muffled voice. Later, he found himself a pack of "Haihaiyue" brand tomato hot pot base.

When I threw it on the shopping cart, I said: "Just this, fry two or three tomatoes, green onion, ginger and garlic, and then pour the ingredients into it. It's delicious. I always like this taste."

Ji Yang curled his lips and smiled: "Okay, you can help me peel the tomatoes when I get home."

Xu Tianlang frowned, wanting to say that I'm crippled and you let me cook, but looking at Ji Yang's expectant eyes, he couldn't say anything, so he just nodded sullenly.

When I got home, it was already past nine o'clock.

The twins are watching TV on the sofa. They are fighting for the remote control. One wants to watch an idol drama and the other wants to watch a basketball game.

My mother was washing fruit in the kitchen, when she heard the movement, she hurried out and took two big bags of ingredients from Ji Yang, surprised: "Why do you buy so many things? I also said to go to Fuxuan Hotel to order a table of takeaway."

Ji Yang smiled: "I'm having hotpot today."

Ji Wenwen's ears were sharp, and she jumped up when she heard the words: "Eat hot pot! I like to eat hot pot!"

Ji Chengcheng didn't move, he was afraid that Ji Yang would die now, so he didn't dare to approach him.

Her mother, Xu Zhilan, was not very interested, and while she was carrying her pockets, she complained: "It tastes so good to eat hot pot in the house, it's better to eat it outside."

Ji Yang smiled, his eyes fell on Xu Tianlang who was sitting in the corner as soon as he entered the room, his eyes were a little frozen.

The young man sitting on the single sofa hugged his backpack in his arms, sat in a well-behaved manner, and didn't work hard on the lower half of his buttocks. This is an obvious insecurity and a gesture of giving up on blending into the environment.

Xu Tianlang, who smiled brightly in front of Lou Jin, was extremely gloomy when he returned to this home.

Others, however, turned a blind eye to all of this.

Ji Yang's eyeballs trembled, then he looked back, and smiled at his mother, "Where's my dad?"

"The study room, I've been busy all morning, I don't know what he's busy with, I think he's just..." That's what, without saying anything, Xu Zhilan went into the kitchen with a sullen face.

Ji Yang walked over and smiled: "You put it there, I will come out at ten o'clock to clean it up, and I will go to see my dad first."

"Go, go." After finishing speaking, Xu Zhilan asked again, "Lang Lang, how is your leg? Is it better? Is it okay to live with your brother? Otherwise, come and live at home. I say you, It's also stupid to death, exercise is one thing, don't you know how to protect yourself? It's all right now, I broke my leg, what do you do for the physical examination? Isn't this a waste of effort?"

Ji Yang went out, but when he heard the words, he retreated and waved to Xu Lanzhi: "Mom, come here."

"What are you doing? Don't you sort out this pile of things?"

"I'll tidy up in a while, come here, I have something to tell you."

Ji Yang pulled Xu Zhilan to the bedroom, and said in a low voice: "What are you talking about Lang Lang? He is already suffering enough. As family members, we can't complain at this time. We should help him find a way, right?" Xu Zhilan frowned. Mei didn't speak, and waited for Ji Yang to say a few more words before she said: "I'm anxious, I am anxious when I look at him, you said I brought the child back, and in the end I couldn't even pass the college entrance examination, I How can I go to see his father, sometimes I really want to take money to put him in school, but his grades... you say I don't urge him, so I can't let him go to a junior college, right?"

Ji Yang thought about Xu Tianlang's future, and smiled: "It's no problem, if you have bones, you can grow flesh, and Lang Lang can find a future that suits you."

Xu Zhilan was impatient, and waved her hand: "Come on, let's listen to these great principles. Which successful child does not have parents behind their backs? Don't make it too simple. Didn't you want to find your father? Hurry up." Go. You don't even know, I've been connecting with that little bitch on the computer all morning, what kind of work, I think it's just nonsense!"

Ji Yang finally knew why his mother was so impatient after eating fenugreek early in the morning.

Midlife crisis.

He expressed his full understanding.

But in the end, I still grabbed my mother and said: "Stop talking about Lang Lang, if you are really annoying, go inside and play with your phone for a while."

Xu Zhilan waved her hand and left this time.

Ji Yang followed his mother and left the master bedroom, turned a corner and went to the study.

There is a whole row of bookcases at the back of the study, which are also full of books, but in Ji Yang's memory, his father rarely opened this bookcase, just for show.

I don't know who has heard it said that if there are bookcases in the office, or the ones that cover the entire wall, needless to say, he must have never read a book.

But the man sitting behind the computer desk does have a refined appearance.

In middle age, he still has dark hair and few wrinkles on his face. With the aura cultivated by wealth and power for a long time, he has the charm of a middle-aged man.

It's no wonder that his mother suspects him of attracting bees and butterflies.

"dad."

Ji Yang knocked on the door and walked into the room.

Looking up from the computer screen, the middle-aged man's eyes are very similar to Ji Yang's, but they are cleaner than Ji Yang's. There are too many stories in those eyes, and there are more vicissitudes.

smile.

Ji Weimin nodded: "I heard you came back, are you having hotpot today?"

Ji Yang stepped forward, closed the door of the study, and said with a smile: "Yes."

"Okay, I've been hungry recently, but I dare not eat too much, my stomach is not good."

"There is tomato soup, you can eat more of this."

"That would be great."

While speaking, Ji Yang was already sitting on the single sofa beside the computer desk, then looked at his father and said, "That's right, I'm reading the materials you brought me, and there are many I want to chat with you, especially It is about the singleness of our products, once there is a problem with the upstream company, our company will be in trouble."

When Ji Weimin heard the words, he just showed a coaxing smile and said, "Oh, we know about this matter and we are working on it. You don't need to worry about these matters, just study hard."

"Dad, I'm 22 and I'm not a kid anymore."

Ji Weimin was taken aback for a moment, and for the first time since he entered the house, he went to look at his eldest son carefully.

Ji Yang went out without makeup today, the clothes he was wearing looked like the most normal boys nowadays, simple and clean.But thanks to the usual maintenance, his complexion is fair and delicate, his eyebrows are prominent, and when he looks at him with those big eyes similar to his own, he looks radiant.

Ji Weimin looked at it for a long time, the expression on his face suddenly relaxed, then he nodded and said with a smile: "I know, but I can't say a word about this matter, wait until you come to the factory."

Ji Yang smiled: "Okay."

Then he got up and left without being obsessed.

In this world, there is nothing more trusting than a father and son who are connected by blood.

Although Ji Weimin only said one sentence, he has already promised Ji Yang a lot, and Ji Yang is not really a 22-year-old young man, he can understand many words that Ji Weimin has not yet said.

Ji Weimin is willing to show everything about the company to Ji Yang.

As long as Ji Yang thinks about the ending of this family in the future, he will feel a surge of vigor in his heart.

We must make this home more stable and not afraid of wind and rain before the storm of the male protagonist affects us.

When it was lunch time, the house was filled with the smell of hot pot for the first time. The hot pot separated from the middle was filled with fragrant and spicy soup and sweet and sour tomato soup. The bubbling smoke mixed the aroma together. Let the mouth salivate.

At first Xu Zhilan was still complaining about how long it would take for the hot pot smell to dissipate. After two bites, she stopped talking when she looked at the excited family members in front of her. She slowly ate the food that the children cooked for her. Unconsciously, I ate a lot.

Ji Weimin has never spoken much at home, more than majestic, but not friendly enough, causing the children in the family to be afraid of him.But today, I drank some wine and ate hot pot with my eldest son, the expression on my face gradually slowed down, a smile appeared, and I took the initiative to talk about some interesting facts.

Ji Wenwen and Ji Chengcheng debated whether it is better to eat hot pot, red pot or tomato pot.

Ji Wenwen said: "Eating hot pot is of course eating red pot. The more butter the better, the more chili pepper the better, spicy and delicious, and finally wrapped in authentic small sesame oil, it is authentic."

Ji Chengcheng said: "You are being misled, thinking that hot pot is spicy? How about mutton soup pot? Beef soup pot? Wild mushroom soup pot? Aren't they all hot pots? Don't listen to others. After eating hot pot, you should eat what you like. Taste. This tomato pot is delicious today, it’s the first time I have eaten such a delicious soup pot.”

"Admit it if you're afraid of spicy food, I like spicy food anyway."

"You'll know it when you get pimples on your face. You don't have any personality at all. It's just good when others say it's good. Really, try it, this tomato pot is absolutely amazing."

The two argued endlessly, and Ji Yang said at this moment: "It's the first time I've made this kind of tomato pot. It's really delicious. I didn't expect that the ingredients I bought would be different if I added a little something. It was all taught by Lang Lang." of."

Ji Chengcheng shut his mouth as if choked up in an instant, and his eyes fell on Xu Tianlang's face.
