Tea fragrance overflowing [reverse wear]

It takes about half an hour's drive from the Expo Center in City B to the old residential area on the West Fourth Ring Road.The special car specially equipped by the Jiangnan Tea Ceremony Association for Mr. Li drove very smoothly. When the car stopped downstairs at Li Yunshu's house, the two people who had been chatting in the back seat did not realize that they had arrived.

With the support of Li Yunshu, Mr. Li got out of the car.Although he was only in his 60s and his legs were considered convenient, Mr. Li did not refuse Li Yunshu's kindness, and accompanied by the latter, he walked towards the dark stairway.

"My house is a little rough, I hope you don't mind, Mr. Li." Li Yunshu smiled gently and said in a low voice: "I have already informed my mother that you are coming when I was on the road, but after all, it is commonplace. Don't get your hopes up too much, Mr. Li."

When Mr. Li got out of the car, he never thought that Li Yunshu would actually live in such a place.

He knew exactly what the Huo family was like. That old boy Huo Zhan was a thorn in his youth and always came to trouble him, but he did have good genes and had several good sons and grandsons.Even Mr. Li, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and has never been immersed in the business world, knows the reputation of the Huo Group.

Originally, he thought that Li Yunshu, who was so close to Huo Zheng, was also a son of a rich family, but when Mr. Li stood downstairs in this old and dilapidated house, he was really surprised for a long time.Of course, I didn't mean any disdain, but I didn't expect...

This noble and elegant young man actually lives in such a place.

Mr. Li shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's just a light meal, just add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for me. But I really like to eat home-cooked food. Hearing what you said, Xiaoyun, I am really looking forward to it today." Ah." During the journey, "Li Xiaoyou" has already become a more intimate "Xiaoyun", and Mr. Li walked up the stairs, saying: "But I am a little sorry to disturb you so suddenly. "

If it weren't for Li Yunshu's kind invitation, Mr. Li probably wouldn't have come to this meal.

He went directly to someone else's house for dinner within a few hours of just getting to know each other. Mr. Li has never done such a familiar thing in his more than 60 years of life.However, regarding this incident, Li Yunshu showed a different enthusiasm and persistence than usual, and the old man looked at the serious and stubborn eyes of the young man, and finally had no choice but to come here.

"As long as you don't dislike it." Li Yunshu replied with a smile.

After climbing up for a few minutes, Li Yunshu took Mr. Li to a door and stopped.There is already a little dark red rust on the big iron gate, and a couplet is pasted on it.

Li Yunshu took out the key and started to open the door, saying, "When I told my mother earlier, she was already at home preparing the dishes. My mother..." After a pause, Li Yunshu added with a smile: "Mother is a little shy, but she has a good heart and is very happy to see you. You will know as soon as you see her."

Mr. Li nodded when he heard the words, and before he could speak again, he heard a crisp sound of "cracking", and then Li Yunshu stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the big iron door.In the next second, the delicious aroma of vegetables was introduced into the corridor through the crack of the door, which made people move their index fingers.

Smelling this scent, Mr. Li knew that today he might be able to have a real treat.He followed Li Yunshu into the house together. Mr. Li helped the old man to sit on the sofa in the living room, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and then said with a light smile: "Mr. Li, take a rest first, I'll go Put things down."

"okay."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunshu directly took the cans of tea that he had with him into a small room, and left Li Lao in the living room.This behavior that is extremely inconsistent with Mr. Li's usual hospitality seems to indicate some abnormal factors. Mr. Li felt a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

He began to look at the house.

The whole room is not big, just two bedrooms and one living room, which is the most common residential layout in city b at the end of last century.The walls in the room were painted with white paint, and there were some graffiti drawn with watercolor pens on it, which was left by any tenant.

Mr. Li looked at it curiously for a while, and when he looked at the opposite side again, he realized that the sofa he was sitting on was facing the small door of the kitchen.The door was very narrow, and stained glass was used on the top to block the view inside, so that Mr. Li could barely see a figure swaying inside.

Probably Li Yunshu's mother.

Mr. Li thought so.

It didn't take long for him to wait, and his idea was confirmed.When he heard the gentle female voice, Mr. Li was lowering his head to appreciate a pair of small letters with a brush on the glass coffee table in front of him. When he was fascinated by the charm and demeanor of each stroke, the man behind the kitchen door opened The sound came directly into the ears.

"Ah! You are Mr. Li that Xiaoyun said, right?" There was a hint of surprise in that voice, and the ending was slightly upturned. There was a strange sense of familiarity in Mr. Li's ears, "Where is Xiaoyun going? What? You can throw guests in the living room casually, and don't entertain them well?"

Mr. Li smiled and raised his head to look at the other party. He was about to say a few words for Li Yunshu, but his eyes stopped suddenly when they touched the middle-aged woman who gradually looked like him.The old eyes suddenly widened, the muddy pupils trembled slightly, and in just a second, there was a faint splash of water.

Old Li didn't speak.

Li Shufeng didn't notice the old man's abnormality. She frowned and looked around for her son, but she didn't find any trace of him.

After thinking to herself, "Why is Xiaoyun so ignorant today", she rubbed her hands on the apron apologetically, and said with a smile, "I really made you laugh. I heard Xiaoyun say on the phone today When I invite you to come to eat at home, I didn't prepare any good dishes, just some common meals, you don't mind."

Old Li, who is used to seeing big scenes, as the leader of the tea ceremony circle, the chairman of the Jiangnan Tea Ceremony Association, and the head of the Jiangnan Li family, this is the first time he has shown such a shocked expression in front of others.The gray-haired old man seemed to have lost his soul, and just stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him without blinking his eyes.

By this time, Mother Li finally noticed something strange about the other party.She frowned strangely, and asked worriedly, "...Mr. Li?"

The voice was like a thunderbolt, which quickly pulled the old man out of his mood.He slowly raised his right hand to cover his eyes, and wiped away the moisture in his eye sockets with a flick of his fingers.

When he let go of his hands again, Mr. Li had returned to his previous appearance. He nodded with a smile and said, "You are Xiaoyun's mother, right? This time it's really... bothering you."

---------

It was not until dinner time that Li Yunshu appeared belatedly.

In front of a table full of beautiful dishes, Mr. Li, who has always been polite, kind, humble and gentle, kept his head down this time, as if he wanted to bury his head in the rice bowl, but he was unwilling to say a word.

Elder Li also ate the rice in his bowl without saying a word, and almost didn't take a few bites of food. He just looked at Li's mother sitting opposite him from time to time, with a dignified expression and frowning.

This was the first time Li Shufeng encountered such a situation.

In the past few months, his son has become very sensible. Even when he invited Mr. Huang and Xu Yuqing to dinner in the store last time, he knew how to greet the guests so as not to let the atmosphere become cold.But this time, it was clear that Xiao Yun had repeatedly told him on the phone that the person he was going to receive this time was a respectable old man, how did it get to this point...

Why don't you say a word? !

Could it be... Are you still shy? !

Mother Li frowned helplessly. She stopped the chopsticks in her hand, glanced at her "incompetent" son who had been lowering his head to eat, and then had to go out by herself, and said with a smile: "Old Li, I heard that you and Huang The old gentleman seems to know him? Mr. Huang is Xiaoyun's teacher, and he has always taken care of Xiaoyun, and Xiaoyun will trouble you in the future."

Mr. Li's eyes stayed on the ostrich-shaped Li Yunshu for a moment, and finally he looked at Li's mother who looked earnest. His throat was dry for a while, and he smiled and nodded after a while, saying: "Xiaoyun... He is a good boy, there is no such thing as troublesome or not troublesome."

After a pause, Mr. Li suddenly said casually: "I am also old, and I can be regarded as a generation older than you, Xiaoyun's mother. It's just that I have been in the house for so long and I don't know what to call it. It’s not good to call you all the time, I don’t know how to call it?”

Hearing Mr. Li's words, Li Yun raised his head inadvertently and looked at the other party. His eyes slowly stopped when he saw the expectant eyes of the old man, and swallowed what he originally wanted to say.

Li Shufeng didn't think too much, but was very happy that this old man with a high status and status that her son said seemed to be easy to get along with.She smiled and replied: "Old Li, my surname is Li too, you can call me Xiaofeng."

Mr. Li was slightly taken aback: "Xiaofeng?"

Li's mother shook her head: "The people in our Li family village are not very educated. The villagers of my generation all started with the word 'Shu', so my family took the word phoenix." After a pause, she added: "It's the phoenix of the phoenix."

After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Li asked again: "Feng character...is pretty good, is it...did father get it?"

Mother Li was taken aback by the question, and after a long time she shook her head helplessly and said, "My father doesn't know a single word, so maybe he asked the village chief to pick it up."

It seemed that the topic seemed to be going a little abnormally now, Li Shufeng quickly changed the subject and said, "Is Mr. Li interested in the affairs of our mountain village? In fact, there is nothing particularly interesting about the people in our village. The village is small and everyone knows each other. The capital of City B is prosperous."

Mr. Li was deep in thought and didn't speak, but looked at the honest and simple mother Li with complicated and deep eyes.

Mother Li was stunned for a long time without knowing why, and then said with a smile: "Why are we talking and not eating! You eat vegetables. I stewed this twice-cooked pork all afternoon. It is delicious!"

After speaking, Mother Li also took the initiative to pick up a piece of meat for the old man, and then picked up a few vegetables for her stupid son. The uneasy stone in Mother Li's heart gradually settled down.

Mother Li thought strangely in her heart: Strange... Is the meal so delicious today?Everyone is dry eating and not eating vegetables?

……

Li Shufeng probably won't be able to get an answer to this question for a while.She took the initiative to pack her things and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. After sternly rejecting Li Yunshu's request to wash the dishes, Li's mother whispered in her son's ear, asking Li Yunshu to entertain this man. Weird old man.

"Did Mr. Li encounter any troubles today? You should spend more time with the old man. If the old man is stuck, you have to clear it up. You can help Mr. Li to soothe his nerves. Don't just eat and don't talk like you did at the dinner table today." ah."

An order from Li's mother sent Li Yunshu to the living room, and it was strictly forbidden to step into the kitchen.Originally, Li Yunshu had the idea of ​​letting Mother Li and Lao Li get in touch as much as possible, but it seemed that this way was doomed to abort.

Mr. Li sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked back to the living room. As soon as he looked up, he saw the originally kind and gentle old man looking at him with a straight face, his gray brows wrinkled into a ball, Look complicated.

Li Yunshu's heart skipped a beat. Before he could open his mouth, he saw Mr. Li sighed heavily, and said helplessly, "So...Xiao Yun, is that why you insist on inviting the old man to dinner today?"

Li Yunshu never felt that Mr. Li was a fool, and at this time, he didn't have any need to hide it anymore.Reluctantly raising the corners of his mouth, Li Yunshu walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Li, I just think there are some things that are possible...but I really can't make any guarantees."

What Li Yunshu got was a long sigh, and an answer with infinite nostalgia: "This is really... too similar. It is exactly the same as Qiao Zheng when he was young, and the age just matches. It is really me. The most likely one I have seen in these years. But..." The voice stopped suddenly, and after a while, Li Laocai seemed to make up his mind and said: "But Xiaoyun, if this is not the case, do you know how uncomfortable I will be, old man? ? I almost... gave up."

The smile on Li Yunshu's face gradually faded, he nodded solemnly, and said: "I know, Mr. Li. However, I always think that you still need to choose and verify this matter yourself. If you are not willing to take the risk In this case, let’s treat it as if I simply treat you to a meal today.”

Mr. Li couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and then said with a wry smile: "Xiaoyun, you are really a kid! You clearly know what I have been looking for for so many years. We have found more than a dozen people wrong. Afraid of finding the wrong one again?"

The implication is that this paternity test must be done.

But after getting this answer, Li Yunshu's expression did not relax at all. He still frowned his handsome eyebrows, and said in a heavy tone: "Old Li, before that, I want to explain one more thing to you."

Li Yunshu's serious tone made Old General Li turn his gaze to him involuntarily.

"My mother... She was born in Lijia Village, a small mountain village. No matter whose daughter she is, three to forty years have already determined that she is just an ordinary mother. She will not have superb tea art, There will be no excellent hair embroidery, and even a brush has never been taken."

Mr. Li obviously understood the meaning of Li Yunshu's words. He also looked straight at the young man opposite him, and saw that the latter's handsome face was full of seriousness. Although his body was still thin, his back was straight. Straight, he blocked the small kitchen door behind him, and even blocked the woman who was washing dishes in the kitchen behind him.

Li Yunshu's face was sombre, and he said solemnly: "She has a junior high school education and has no artistic talent. She doesn't know what the Jiangnan Li family is, and even...she hasn't drunk Biluochun. She drank it when she was a teenager. Being tricked into getting pregnant and running out of the house by herself, she will not be a lady of the family, but..."

"She's my mother."

This kind of protective appearance should have appeared in the scene of the lioness protecting the cub, but Mr. Li felt that the current appearance of the young man in front of him was not a little weird, but... it should be taken for granted.

He is protecting his mother.

This sentence suddenly appeared in Mr. Li's mind.

After a while, the old man who had never been threatened by anyone suddenly put on a straight face, and asked in an unhappy tone: "Li Yunshu, what kind of people do you think our Jiangnan Li family is?"

Suddenly being called by his name directly, Li Yunshu was taken aback for a moment, and did not answer for a while.

But Mr. Li feigned anger and said: "If your grandma is here, she must have picked up the baguette and taught you a good lesson! What our Li family is looking for is a daughter, just a daughter, not a lady from a famous family! Even if it is No. 1 Yuan in Jiangnan, as long as she is not our daughter, then don't even think about entering Li's house!"

Li Yunshu was stunned, and subconsciously murmured: "...Grandma?"

Mr. Li snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Don't you believe the old man's eyes?" The implication is that now that the paternity test has not been done, he firmly believes that Li Yunshu is definitely his. grandson.

Inexplicably feeling a warm current rushing through her heart, Li Yunshu raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and smiled helplessly: "Yes, yes, it's my fault."

Old Li smiled and said a few more words, Li Yunshu had no choice but to apologize repeatedly.It was not until the old man's anger disappeared that Li Yunshu found peace.But it didn't make him feel comfortable for a long time, and Mr. Li suddenly asked again: "Xiao Yun, I don't know... When did you start to doubt?"

Li Yunshu replied reflexively: "Probably yesterday, when Mr. Xu took me to visit the exhibition hall of the Jiangnan Tea Ceremony Association, I saw the embroidered hair."

Hearing the words, Mr. Li suddenly became furious, and said, "I suspected it yesterday, but you are still hiding it like this today?!"

Li Yunshu: "... just one day."

"It's 42 years!!!"

Li Yunshu: "..."
