Hot Pot

It turns out that Jiang Xiu's skill in hot pot is still useful today.

Because of the geographical advantages, Aunt Wu can arrive at the kindergarten earlier than Fang Yunwan every day. As soon as she shows up at the gate of Sunflower Class, An An will consciously pack her schoolbag and fly out of the classroom like a bird.A few times, An An was even the first kid in the class to be picked up, and she was so happy that she showed off to Fang Yunwan all night long.

Seeing An An getting more and more cheerful and lively, Fang Yunwan had to admit that maybe Jiang Xiu was right, it was very pitiful for a child who was left until the end every day and no one picked him up.

Even so, Fang Yunwan still felt that it was inappropriate to leave An An at Jiang Xiu's house every day. It was not appropriate for Jiang Xiu to be hospitalized now, and it was even more inappropriate for Jiang Xiu to go home to recuperate after he recovered.

Since Jiang Xiu couldn't make sense, Fang Yunwan turned around to persuade Auntie, reminding her from time to time, don't bother her to pick up An'an.Aunt Wu refused, and repeatedly emphasized to Fang Yunwan that Jiang Xiu paid her twice as much, and she is not someone who just takes money and does nothing.

This matter has never been resolved, and it dragged on until the winter solstice without knowing it.

Because of the holiday, everyone is not in the mood to work and prepare to leave work early.Fang Yunwan got off work early that day, and it was not yet 06:30 when he arrived at Jiang Xiu's house.When changing shoes at the porch, Fang Yunwan felt that the atmosphere today was a bit different from the past. He didn't hear the cartoon playing on the TV, only An An's "giggle" laughter.

Can you be happy like this without watching cartoons?

After changing his slippers and walking in, Fang Yunwan habitually turned to the living room to find An An.

Today the wind is blowing with all its strength, and the windows block the roar of the north wind, but the house is much quieter and more peaceful.The heating was fully turned on, and a layer of pale mist formed on the windows, making the cold wind swaying outside the house soft.Snow-white lights poured into every corner of the living room, making the room bright and clear.On the soft fabric sofa, An An and Xu Luyao sat cross-legged. Xu Luyao made An An laugh non-stop with the game of guessing the left and right hands.

This game was obviously boring, but An An was as happy as a little squirrel holding a nut.

What an unseen little thing.Fang Yunwan glanced at An An who was laughing so hard on the sofa that his saliva was dripping down, and he hated iron for being weak.

He took a deep breath and walked into the living room: "You are at home, An'an has caused you trouble, and I will take him home."

In fact, as early as Fang Yunwan walked into the living room, Xu Luyao found him, but at that time he was playing games with An An, and he didn't treat Fang Yunwan as an outsider, so he didn't bother to say hello.Fang Yunwan took the initiative to say hello to him, and the round of the game between him and An An just ended, he stroked An An's soft hair, signaled the game to pause, and stood up from the sofa: "No trouble, An An is very obedient and cute. "

While speaking, Xu Luyao observed Fang Yunwan calmly.

From the time he entered the door and saw him, Fang Yunwan seemed to be in a state of entanglement.It's like giving a child a candy and then telling him not to eat it. This kind of embarrassment between subjective desire and objective indifference will set up a swinging balance in people's hearts.

He could see that Fang Yunwan now had a balance in his heart, swinging left and right, vacillating.

However, Xu Luyao is a good person, and he didn't confuse Fang Yunwan for too long, so he kindly told him what he cared about the most: "Jiang Xiu is also back, a little tired, rest inside, and have dinner later You can see him."

This was indeed what Fang Yunwan wanted to know the most, but when Xu Luyao said this, alarm bells rang in Fang Yunwan's heart.

He nodded to show that he understood, and declined Xu Luyao's dinner invitation with a smile: "I leave work early today, just take An'an home for dinner, and don't disturb you and Jiang, Mr. Jiang."

"Today is the holiday, Aunt Wu prepared a hot pot, and specially made five-color rice balls for An An, so you can stay and eat together. It can also be regarded as celebrating Jiang Xiu's recovery and leaving the hospital, and make him lively." When it comes to food, Xu Luyao's eyes Shining brightly, he spoke sincerely, stretched out his hand and pushed Fang Yunwan down on the sofa, and patted An An beside him: "Play with your uncle, I'll pour you some water."

When it came to eating, Fang Yunwan realized that the room was filled with the obvious rich aroma of butter hot pot.

In the past, he also liked to eat hot pot, especially in winter, when he boiled a packet of any base at home, it would fill the room with spicy and delicious aroma.Eating hot pot at home is a very convenient thing. Wash and cut all kinds of ingredients you bought into pieces, which is a big meal.He likes to let Jiang Xiu set up the projector in the restaurant, eat hot pot and watch a movie, preferably a comedy. A hot and noisy night will pass soon.

Then, he would hold his swollen belly and lean against Jiang Xiu's arms, muttering and complaining that he had to go to class again the next day.

In contrast, Jiang Xiu didn't seem to have a particularly obvious preference for food.

All along, it seems that what he likes, Jiang Xiu will follow him to like what he likes.Sometimes Fang Yunwan even felt that Jiang Xiu was like a negative without imaging, what his world looked like, the world projected in Jiang Xiu's eyes was what it looked like.

He remembered Xu Luyao's shining eyes just now when he was talking about eating. It turned out that Xu Luyao also likes to eat hot pot.

No wonder today's dinner will prepare hot pot.

It seems that the skill of hot pot that Jiang Xiu acquired while eating hot pot with him is still useful today.Thinking of this, Fang Yunwan didn't know what to think of such a coincidence.

I don't know if Xu Luyao really just went to get a glass of water, or if he turned somewhere else on the road, anyway, not long after he came back with a glass of water, Jiang Xiu also came out of the bedroom.

After not seeing him for a while, Jiang Xiu's complexion finally got better, returning to a cold white with a little translucency.

But wrapped in a sweater and cardigan, the whole person looks thinner and slender. After a serious illness, he has lost weight again.After recovering from a serious illness, Jiang Xiu still looked a little tired. He slowly moved to the sofa and sat down. He took a glass of water from Xu Luyao's thermos and took a sip.

Three adults and one child looked at each other in the living room, unable to find a topic for a while.

Xu Luyao waved to An An who was beside Fang Yunwan, called the child to him, turned on the TV to play cartoons for him, then stood up and said to Jiang Xiu and Fang Yunwan, "You guys talk, I'll ask Ask when you can have dinner."

Xu Luyao is really thoughtful in speaking and doing things.

For example, before he left the living room, he turned on the TV, allowing Big Big Wolf's screams to fill the room, at least drowning out the embarrassing silence.

Jiang Xiu took another sip of warm water, and casually picked the beginning: "I got off work a little earlier than usual today?"

His voice was still a little hoarse, and the ending sound rose slightly, which made this well-informed sentence look a bit playful and cute.

Except for Fang Yunwan, probably no one would use words like "cute" to describe Jiang Xiu, but in Fang Yunwan's perception, Jiang Xiu in the past was indeed a lot of cute things——

For example, Jiang Xiu who hugged him and refused to get up after waking up, for example Jiang Xiu who had a bunch of dull hair on his head before washing, for example Jiang Xiu whose facial features were wrinkled after eating scrambled eggs with tomatoes he made...

Many Jiang Xius who are completely different from the calm and self-restrained Jiang Xiu in front of others are treasured in his memory and become orphans.

"Today is the winter solstice, everyone left early."

"busy lately?"

"It's been a little bit better these two days." Not wanting Jiang Xiu to ask too much about himself, Fang Yunwan turned his back on the guest, "How about you? Are you feeling better?"

At this moment, Fang Yunwan thought that what he was asking was nonsense, since the illness was not cured, how could Xu Luyao release Jiang Xiu from the hospital and go home?Later, when he re-entered Jiang Xiu's life, and saw him dragging his body to fight against Chen Neng, he realized that many times when Jiang Xiu stood calmly in front of people, it didn't mean that he was safe and sound at this time.

Jiang Xiu nodded: "It's much better, and I should go back to the company tomorrow afternoon."

"Going back to work so soon? You were just discharged from the hospital today."

"Well, there are many things at the end of the year."

Jiang Xiu raised his eyelids and looked at Fang Yunwan. His eyes were like two beads made of ebony, which had been thickly coated over the years, black and bright.His gaze swept over him so suddenly, Fang Yunwan met him for a moment, as if being burned by his gaze, Fang Yunwan felt his face burn for no reason, and hurriedly looked away.

Seemingly satisfied with Fang Yunwan's defeat, Jiang Xiu chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm fine." He could see that Fang Yunwan was eager to deny it, so he stood up before he could speak, and looked in the direction of the restaurant Take a look: "It seems that you can eat, you can take An'an to wash your hands."

This was the first time Fang Yunwan saw Jiang Xiu's house so lively.In the center of the dining table is a pot of steaming hot pot. In order to take care of An An and Jiang Xiu who can’t eat spicy food, the aunt carefully prepared a pot of mandarin ducks. On one side is a red hot pot of butter, and on the other side is a pot of light and healthy mushroom soup.

When it was served to the table, the hot pot was already boiling, bubbling and bubbling, making the scene even more steamy.

Xu Luyao raised the glass of orange juice: "Let's first congratulate Boss Jiang on his recovery and discharge from the hospital."

Fang Yunwan looked at Jiang Xiu through the steam rising from the hot pot. Jiang Xiu's pale and thin face seemed to be dissipated in the mist.His heart trembled, and he felt that his eyes were a little wet from the mist. He hurriedly held up the juice: "I wish Mr. Jiang good health."

"Thank you." Jiang Xiu responded to them in a low voice, raising the mug in his hand.

An An also imitated the adults, raised the sippy cup in her hand, bumped into them, and giggled again.Jiang Xiu was only allowed to drink a little warm almond milk, the same color as the milk in An An's sippy cup.An An seemed to have found a teammate, and from time to time he raised his glass to touch Jiang Xiu, and laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Fang Yunwan was helpless, this little guy was hiding from Jiang Xiu with his enemies before, but in less than half a month, he turned his back and pestered Jiang Xiu to play with him all the time.

Jiang Xiu couldn't eat much on the table, and his aunt had already prepared a pot of lotus seed and lily porridge for him.He was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, sipping the meager porridge in front of him, but serving the other people at the table with all his heart.

Xu Luyao picked up his hairy belly, intending to dump it into the pot, but Jiang Xiu hit the back of his hand with chopsticks.He let out a soft cry and stared dissatisfiedly: "Why did you hit me!"

"The hairy belly can't be so hot." Jiang Xiu took the plate in his hand and put it back on the table, took a colander and scooped him a beef ball into the bowl, "Eat something else first, I'll scald it for you."

As he said that, he picked up a few pieces of hairy belly and put them in a colander, dipped them into the boiling pot, and spread them out briskly with chopsticks. , and then proposed.Repeated this for six or seven rounds, the rough surface of the hairy belly was covered with a layer of bright red oil, and the edges of the belly slices were slightly rolled up. Jiang Xiu held the colander to drain the excess soup, and the pieces of hairy belly seemed to bounce with Jiang Xiu's movements After a few times, it feels crisp and delicious.

Jiang Xiu picked up a piece of hairy belly.

Xu Luyao happily raised the bowl to catch it.

Jiang Xiu's chopsticks holding the hairy belly stretched straight towards Fang Yunwan. Fang Yunwan quickly lowered his head, and a second later, a piece of steaming hairy belly that was rinsed by Jiang Xiu himself fell into his bowl.

At the same time, Xu Luyao was holding an empty bowl and looking at Jiang Xiu pitifully.

The scene of the society's death, but that's all.

This embarrassment lasted until Jiang Xiu threw the remaining piece of hairy belly into Xu Luyao's bowl, and then it was relieved.

Xu Luyao just took a bite of the crispy hairy belly, and before he had time to admire Jiang Xiu's skill in shabu-shabu, the phones of Jiang Xiu and Fang Yunwan vibrated at the same time.
