nosy on you

awkward meal

The call was from Li Wei.

Gu Xi suddenly felt irritated in his heart, besides irritability, it was also mixed with disgust and anger.

Li Wei usually wouldn't contact him, as long as he did, nothing good would happen.

He really wanted to hang up directly, but after hesitating for a while, he still picked up: "What's the matter?"

"Xiaoxi, where are you..." Li Wei's tone was very gentle, but the voice sounded a little far away, "Grandma is feeling a little unwell, she hopes you can come and take a look, the old lady hasn't seen you for a long time .”

"Go to the hospital if you don't feel well, and I don't know how to see a doctor." Gu Xi held up the phone and turned the teacup on the table up and down.

Grandma always felt unwell several times a year, and every time she went to the doctor, she couldn't find any symptoms. In the end, she had to force the doctor to arrange her to stay in the hospital for observation.

But Gu Xi was very clear about the meaning of what she did.

When my parents were alive, they were busy with the family business and didn’t have time to take care of her. The old lady had a nanny to take care of her, and lived in a big house. Her monthly living expenses were higher than the wages of migrant workers for a whole year. She loved to show off to everyone. .

Now that the son is gone, the power should be handed over to her, the queen mother, and the whole family must surround her, and even if they are in a hospital, they have to notify the company's management to come and express their condolences.

The main reason is to create the illusion of a happy family.

"Xiaoxi, how can you say that, we are all a family..." Li Wei was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Who the hell is your family!" Gu Xi yelled into the phone, "You are just a mistress, why, do you really regard yourself as the mistress of the Gu family?"

Yan Jing was shocked by his sudden rage, the room was so cramped that even the air trembled, Gu Xi didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding it, and didn't even look up at him.

This is a bit embarrassing.

"Gu Xi, what are you talking about?" A sharp voice came from the phone, which was a little harsh even through the receiver, "You come at me when you have a temper, I asked your father to marry Li Wei into the house , she is pregnant with the seed of our Gu family, whether you like it or not, Gu Shen is your own brother!"

"I don't have such a cheap brother." Gu Xi sneered.

No wonder Li Wei's voice sounded a little far away. It turned out that she had been using the speakerphone all the time, and grandma heard what she said just now.

In fact, Gu Xi doesn't care much, his relationship with the old lady has been the same since he was a child, not less than 01:30.

"In your eyes, who else is there besides your grandma? When she fell down, you were paid and kept watch at night, and you even found someone to take her out of the hospital..." The more grandma said, the more excited she became, her voice almost split, "How did you get here? I don’t even want to visit the sick here anymore. That’s right, you didn’t shed a single tear when your father died, what do I care about my old bones!”

Gu Xi was stunned. On the day his grandma was discharged from the hospital, he couldn't make it back from his rigorous hometown, so he temporarily entrusted Shen Xu to run for him. As for who reported this to Queen Mother Gu, he could guess with his toes. .

"Don't you still have a grandson? It's enough to have him take care of you. I have other things to do, so I'll hang up first."

Gu Xi hung up the phone, stared at the screen for ten seconds, and then threw the phone to the ground.

Bang!

The fuselage bounced and fell, and slid against the ground into a corner. The screen and back cover were shattered like several layers of spider webs.

"Fuck!" Yan Jin hurriedly got up and picked up the phone, looking at it with distress, "You are too prodigal, Apple, it must be thousands of dollars?"

"Shut up!" Gu Xi pointed at him and yelled.

Yan Jing closed his mouth wisely, he heard Gu Xi's phone call very clearly just now, although he only had a half-knowledge, he could still guess the general idea, as expected, everyone has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

This Apple phone should be completely scrapped, and the motherboard inside can be seen through the gap in the back cover.

"The woman who called me was my dad's mistress..." Gu Xi said with some difficulty while holding the teacup, "When I was nine years old, my mother accidentally ran into them and went to a hotel to get a room. Dad bought a house for this girl, and they even gave birth to a child."

Yan Jing looked at Gu Xi in shock, and didn't hold back a word for a long time. His frankness caught people off guard, and Yan Jing couldn't even respond to the simplest responses like "oh" and "um".

"After my mom had a big fight with him, she got into a car accident on the way to pick me up from school..." Gu Xi rubbed her nose, her eyes looked a little red, "If it wasn't for being stimulated, Mr. There's no way anything will happen to Mom."

"Then..." Yan Jing felt a little uncomfortable, "Then what happens later."

"After my mother passed away, my grandma took me there, and it wasn't until the second day of junior high that my dad forcibly brought me home..." Gu Xi said, "Grandpa and grandma kept talking about that bastard outside for three days. In the second year, my father still broke up with that woman, and then I moved out alone."

"Your father..." Yan Jing hesitated for a while, "How did he die?"

I remember that Gu Xi said before that his parents were gone, but I didn't expect that there was such a tortuous story behind it.

No wonder every time he mentioned his father, there was always a trace of imperceptible resentment in his words.

"Acute leukemia..." Gu Xi's tone was very indifferent when he said this, "I don't know if it's retribution, the hospital's bone marrow bank did not find a matching bone marrow, and the whole family failed to match with him. It was only a week after the death was announced, and I didn't feel so sad when he died, but a sense of relief."

Gu Xi sighed, didn't say any more, bit his lip rigorously and remained silent for five seconds, then grabbed his left hand and held it gently, his hand was a little cold and trembling violently.

Rigorous is not very good at comforting people, the only thing he can do is try to cover his hands as warmly as possible.

Maybe my heart will feel better when my hands are warmed up.

"Am I cold-blooded?" Gu Xi looked up at him.

"No..." Yan Jing finally understood why Gu Xi lost control of his emotions when he heard him say the word "cold-blooded" that day, "I can understand your mood."

Gu Xi smiled, Dr. Zhou suddenly held his hand like this when he was depressed yesterday, he was so frightened that he almost lost his temper on the spot, considering that the other party was only out of kindness, so he resisted the urge to beat someone.

But at this moment, he didn't feel awkward at all, and the temperature of his rigorous palm calmed him down quickly.

The door of the box was opened, and Xie Xiaochuan walked in with a tray.

As if being licked by the tongue of fire, the rigorousness took only 0.1 second to retract his hand, then sat up straight, turned his head in embarrassment and coughed twice.

"The food is here..." Before he could say the words, Xie Xiaochuan's eyes immediately fell on the rotten mobile phone in front of Yan Jing, "Why did you smash it again? You two quarreled?"

"It's not noisy..." Yan Jin waved his hands quickly, "He fell to the ground unsteadily just now."

"Pull it down, can it fall like this?" Xie Xiaochuan pointed at him, "Your level of deception is really not good."

"Serve your food, why are there so many nonsense." Gu Xi clicked his tongue.

Xie Xiaochuan lit the alcohol stove, put a large casserole pot on it, put the other three dishes on the tray on the table, then pointed to one of the dishes and said to Yan Jing: "This is cold kidney, try it. How is my craft?"

"Oh..." Yan Yan looked at his eyes that widened in anticipation of approval, and felt that he looked like the black shop owner who cooked with human flesh in horror movies, so he blurted out, "Is it made of human waist?"

"Fuck..." Xie Xiaochuan was shocked, "Who are you calling a monster?"

As if misunderstood, Yan Jing immediately changed the way of questioning: "Is it made of human kidneys?"

Gu Xi glanced at him, then leaned on the back of the chair and laughed wildly, unable to stop.

"You have a big brain..." Xie Xiaochuan also laughed, "If I cut off the right person's kidney and took it directly to the black market, I can sell it for hundreds of thousands, and it only sells for a few dozen yuan when I make it into a dish, isn't it? It's a big loss."

"The main reason is that your face is too domineering..." Yan Jing put a chopstick into his mouth, it was fragrant and spicy, quite tender and refreshing, and couldn't help giving him a thumbs up, "It's better than me. Be more skilled."

"Yo, you know how to cook?" Xie Xiaochuan stared at him in surprise, "Then tell me how to make this dish."

After thinking about it rigorously, he stared at the plate twice: "First clean the pork loin and cut it into flowers, put it in the pot, add cooking wine, cook until it is cooked, take it out and drain, then mix the red pepper and minced garlic. Heat the marinade at high temperature, then add sesame oil, steamed fish soy sauce and kidney flower, and stir quickly to combine."

He leaned closer and sniffed it again: "But your marinade should be made in secret, this is the essence of the whole dish."

"Okay, so I'm an expert..." Xie Xiaochuan looked at him in disbelief, then pointed at Gu Xi and teased, "Don't bring him here often in the future, or my small restaurant may not be able to continue to operate. gone."

"Don't be poor, hurry up and do your work." Gu Xi waved at him.

Xie Xiaochuan opened a bottle of beer and filled the glass, had a drink with the two of them and went out.

Turning his head rigorously and taking a look, Gu Xi's expression seemed to be the same as usual, but the conversation just now made his heart still turbulent.

The "they" in Gu Xi's mouth should refer to the mistress and his so-called younger brother. The home they have lived in for more than ten years is now occupied by this mother and son.

Whoever it is, I'm afraid they can't stand "them" dangling in front of me all day long.

I have to say that Xie Xiaochuan's sudden intrusion is very timely, at least it can relieve the complicated emotions a little.

"You know how to cook?" Gu Xi opened the remaining bottles of wine.

"Well, a little bit..." Yan Jing nodded, "My aunt is very good at cooking, she taught me for a while."

"Then you're quite virtuous..." Gu Xi filled both wine glasses, "When will you make me a meal?"

Yan Yan picked up the wine glass and touched him: "You can't open fire in the dormitory."

"Next time I'll find you a place where you can start a fire..." Gu Xiyi raised his head and drank the wine, picked up his chopsticks and tapped the dishes twice, "Their casserole meatball soup is good, and this The five-yuan chicken is also delicious, try it."

"Okay." Yan Jing replied, looking at the local chicken stewed with dried longan, red dates, dried lychee, lotus seeds, and wolfberry in the porcelain pot, he was stunned for a long time and didn't know where to poke it.

After hesitating for a while, he picked up a piece of chicken breast and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted very sweet and the heat was just right.

"It's just the two of us here, there's no need to dress up." Gu Xi rudely poked a chicken leg into his bowl, then picked one for himself, and gnawed a big mouthful like a demonstration.

"When I was at home, my grandma made it once, and I wanted to leave the chicken legs to her and my younger brother..." Yan Jing smiled while holding the bowl, "I wanted to pick up a chicken wing, but she slapped my chopsticks. She said that the chicken wings were not available." I have to let my parents eat first."

In fact, it's not just this dish, any rigor that my younger brother likes can only be picked by him to eat the rest.

In grandma's words, he is not worthy.

Grandma is very good at swearing, and the two most used words for him are "losing money" and "rice bucket", and there are many other words that he can't remember anymore.

"That was before..." Gu Xi grabbed another chicken wing for him, "Now you can eat whatever you want."

The atmosphere that had finally eased up a little became stiff again.

tsk...

Fuck the five yuan chicken.
