Four Seasons Three Meals

When Wang Xiumiao saw Jiang Huai, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She asked Jiang Huai to come in and sit down, and poured him a glass of water.Jiang Huai neither went in nor drank any water.

He handed the pork ribs and winter melon to Wang Xiumiao and said, "I'll leave after a few words."

Wang Xiumiao was stunned for a moment, and begged him, "Let's eat something before we go, the family just bought rice yesterday..."

Jiang Huai refused: "I have to work overtime."

Wang Xiumiao stopped talking.

Jiang Huai asked her straight to the point: "Who did you give the bank card I gave to Jiang Yan?"

Wang Xiumiao's eyes dodged: "Here, I'm here..."

Jiang Huai didn't believe it: "Is it for Jiang Desheng?"

Wang Xiumiao quibbled: "No, it's really here with me."

Jiang Huai stretched out his hand: "Then show it to me."

Wang Xiumiao opened her mouth, unable to speak, nor could she take out her bank card.

Jiang Huai withdrew his hand and said, "I saw him go to the bank to withdraw money this morning."

Wang Xiumiao lowered her head, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.

Jiang Huai looked over her shoulder and looked at the glass window behind her.There used to be a colorful dolphin wind chime hanging there, which was Jiang Huai's purest dream when he was young.Later, Jiang Desheng owed a huge amount of bets and sold everything in the family, including Fengling.

A sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at Wang Xiumiao and said, "Do you know, that is the money I left for Jiang Yan to study."

Wang Xiumiao pursed her lips and nodded.

Jiang Huai said, "Then why did you give it to Jiang Desheng?"

"Those people said that if you don't pay back the money, your father's fingers will be cut off..." Wang Xiumiao raised her head in horror, and tightly grasped Jiang Huai's arm hanging by her side, "Your father still has to earn money, he Can't live without fingers..."

Jiang Huai said: "Before I left, I paid off all the debts he owed."

He asked Wang Xiumiao, "He started gambling again, didn't he?"

Wang Xiumiao bit her lip and nodded hesitantly.

Jiang Huai laughed back in anger: "Why didn't you stop him?"

This sentence aroused Wang Xiumiao's sadness. She covered her face with her sleeve and began to cry.

Jiang Huai sighed softly when she lost her temper by crying.

"Mom," he said helplessly, "don't cry."

Wang Xiumiao covered her face, sobbing louder and louder.

Jiang Huai guessed the answer.He took Wang Xiumiao's skinny hand and pulled up his sleeve, revealing the large bruises on his arm.

He sighed and said, "Mom, let's get a divorce."

Wang Xiumiao sobbed and shook her head.

Jiang Huai said, "I'll defend you and guarantee that he won't get any money."

"I can't leave," Wang Xiumiao said with a choked voice. "If I'm divorced, what will others think of me? I can only follow him for the rest of my life..."

Jiang Huai thought of many rebuttal words, but seeing Wang Xiumiao's helpless face, he couldn't say a word.

He thought to himself that every conversation ended in this way—he tried hard to persuade Wang Xiumiao to divorce, and Wang Xiumiao told him that women should obey the three rules and the four virtues.

Like a Mobius ring, divorce is the beginning and the end of everything.

Jiang Huai comforted Wang Xiumiao and walked out of the community exhausted physically and mentally.

He hails a taxi and gets in.The driver asked him, "Where is the boss going?"

Jiang Huai said: "You can walk around casually, and I will relax."

The driver looked at his words, glanced at Jiang Huai's expression in the rearview mirror, and said, "Boss, do you want to go to Yunxia Mountain to relax?"

Jiang Huai said, "Yunxia Mountain?"

The driver said: "Yunxia Mountain is located in Gangnan District. There are not many people going to it. The air is very good and suitable for walking."

He glanced at Jiang Huai's ring finger in the rearview mirror. It was bald and there was nothing on it: "There is a Shuishuan on the mountain. It is very good for seeking children and marriage. The locals like to go there."

Jiang Huai thought for a while and said, "Then go."

There is no road on Yunxia Mountain, the driver parked the car at the foot of the mountain, and Jiang Huai got off and walked along the mountain road.

The mountain road winds and turns, and Jiang Huai walks up the bluestone steps. The green Metasequoia is closer, and the mountains and pagodas are farther away. The beautiful shadows are reflected on the lake.

The accidental scenery makes people feel like the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

He walked to the gate of Shuishuan and looked back at the way he had come.

The mountains and rivers are dotted with characters. When he came, he was blocked by the mountains and couldn't see the way. Now he climbed to the top and stayed out of the matter, but he was able to see the whole situation.

He felt that the location of Shuishuan was good, which calmed him down inexplicably and allowed him to think through many things.

There was a little Taoist at the door who was sweeping the floor. He stumbled and was no taller than a broom.

When he saw Jiang Huai, he straightened his face and said in a childlike voice, "Hello, benefactor."

Jiang Huai knelt down, looked at him, and said, "Hello, Taoist."

He smelled a fragrance not far away, delicious and mellow, not greasy.

The little Taoist asked him, "Has the almsgiver eaten?"

Jiang Huai was amused by his polite way of speaking, and imitated his appearance: "I haven't eaten yet."

"There is a vegetarian meal in the nunnery. If the benefactor does not dislike it, please follow the path."

Jiang Huai smiled, stood up, and followed the little Taoist priest to have lunch.

There was no smell of oil in the dining hall, and two orange bergamots were placed on the altar table, giving off a sweet smell.

Jiang Huai sat down, and after a while, a Taoist priest put a wooden tray in front of him.

There are a total of three wooden bowls on the tray, each of which is tightly covered with a wooden lid.Jiang Huai thanked and lifted the first cover.

The first wooden bowl was brightly colored rice, and Jiang Huai recognized it as Wubao Rice.He spooned it into his mouth, red beans and kidney beans wrapped in sticky rice.The glutinous rice is sticky but not sticky, the red beans are overcooked and turned into a dense bean paste in the mouth, the astringency of the kidney beans is balanced by the sweetness of the red beans, and the aftertaste is refreshing and mellow.

He nodded in satisfaction and lifted the second cover.

The second vegetarian chicken in a wooden bowl, Jiang Huai picked up a piece and tasted it.The outer skin is deep-fried in hot oil until it becomes crispy, and served with crushed white sesame seeds, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.The inside is soft and chewy, full of sauce, soft and tough, delicious and mellow.

He ate another piece and carefully lifted the third lid.

The third wooden bowl contained soup, which Jiang Huai didn't recognize.

He stirred it with a spoon, and the viscous milky white soup rolled, with a few smooth crystal gels mixed in the middle, and some shredded red carrots at the bottom.

He scooped up a spoonful and tasted it curiously.

The first thing he tasted was the fragrance of soy products. The tofu was shredded and slipped into his stomach before he could taste it carefully.

It was followed by a creamy taste. He bit it lightly with his teeth, it was a little crispy, and the juice burst between his lips and teeth, which was very delicious.

Finally, the sweetness of grated carrots neutralizes the salty aroma of the soup base.

Jiang Huai's eyes lit up.

He took another sip and asked a Taoist priest standing at the entrance of the Zhaitang: "Master, may I ask, what kind of soup is this?"

The Taoist said, "This is lichen tofu soup."

It turned out that the crystal clear colloid was the lichen after stewing.

Jiang Huai thanked: "Thank you, Daoist."

The Taoist replied: "As long as the donor likes it."

After eating and drinking, Jiang Huai went for a walk in the yard.

There is an old banyan tree at the entrance of Shuishuan, with a thick trunk and a waist thicker than four Jiang Huai.

There were red silk cloths hanging on the branches. Jiang Huai looked up, and it was nothing more than the most common wish in the world, to give birth to a precious son early and have a good marriage for a hundred years.

Others wrote wishing for world peace.Jiang Huai felt that this wish was great. If the Jade Emperor could speak foreign languages, it might come true.

He looked at it for a while, folded his hands together in a mysterious way, closed his eyes, and made a wish lightly and quickly.

After making his wish, Jiang Huai's cell phone rang.

He was taken aback, thinking that the banyan tree was really alive.

He took out his mobile phone, and the caller was Senior Sister.

The senior sister asked him, "Where are you?"

Jiang Huai said, "Shuishu Temple."

The senior sister said, "Why did you go to the Taoist Temple?"

Jiang Huai half-truthfully said, "I'm here to seek marriage."

The senior sister said, "Did you get it?"

Jiang Huai thought about the wish he made, and said, "You won't know until you go back to Jiangcheng."

The senior sister said: "Then you come back quickly."

Jiang Huai was alert: "What's wrong?"

The senior sister said, "Li Xinxin is in a mess."

Jiang Huai sighed: "You always make me work overtime on weekends, where can I find my marriage?"

The senior sister said: "You can marry work."

Jiang Huai and she laughed at the same time, chatted a few more words, hung up the phone, and bought a plane ticket back to Jiangcheng.

Li Xinxin's mess was not so big.

Jiang Huai asked her to go to the client's home with the sorted information and ask if there was a possibility of an out-of-court settlement.She did, but hooked up with the man who would become the client's ex-husband.

In this kind of divorce case involving the distribution of large amounts of property, the clients are either rich or expensive, and the industry's words are very important.

Sure enough, the law firm not only lost a client, but also severely damaged its reputation, and many potential clients chose other law firms.

When Jiang Huai returned to the law firm, Li Xinxin was sitting on the desk crying, and everyone was very busy.

When she saw Jiang Huai, she seemed to be holding on to a life-saving straw, crying like a pear blossom: "Why did that woman bully me, they are about to get divorced! And, and," Li Xinxin said sobbing, "We really love each other..."

Jiang Huai thought, love at first sight in this situation is nothing more than one coveting beauty and the other coveting money.

Li Xinxin's sincerity is really worthless.

But he couldn't say anything serious, he could only sigh, and said to her, "Go to HR to sign the form."

Li Xinxin widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Huai in horror.

"I, I won't leave!" Li Xinxin said, "My father is a partner in a law firm, you can't let me go!"

Jiang Huai thought to himself, poor people must have something to hate.

He said: "Even if Mr. Li asks you to stay here, do you think you can stay here?"

Li Xinxin didn't understand.

For the last time, he consoled with earnestness and earnestness: "You can be more decent if you go by yourself. If you are squeezed out by your colleagues, Mr. Li will not be able to help you."

Li Xinxin cried again.

Jiang Huai made up his mind, turned and walked into his office.

Jiang Huai rearranged the case information, thought about his apology, and decided to find a suitable time to visit in person.

By the time he finished his work, it was already nine o'clock.

There was only leftover fritters in the bag from the morning, which were cold and hard enough to beat a dog.

He packed his things and went downstairs to call Shang Chen.

Shang Chen asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Huai said, "Do you want to eat?"

Shang Chen said in a low voice: "Cheng Yang's mother suddenly wanted to see me, I just went to his house..."

Jiang Huai understood, and said, "Okay, I'll eat alone."

Shang Chen felt sorry and said, "I'll find someone to eat with you."

Jiang Huai asked who it was, and Shang Chen said that he had never met his blind date.

Jiang Huai found it troublesome, so he refused Shang Chen's kindness, and planned to eat something by himself.

He hung up the phone and stood on the side of the road, waiting for a taxi.

A black Tesla stopped in front of him, Jiang Huai didn't care, and looked down at Dianping.

The people in the car rolled down the window and called him: "Lawyer Jiang."

Jiang Huai raised his head, looked at the people in the car, and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Doctor Cong."
