Secret crush hides my cub [entertainment circle]

After arriving home, Xia Chu went to the bedroom to change clothes, while Le Wei hid in the kitchen and secretly called his mother.

Today, the third aunt's little cousin's baby is full moon, Le Wei's mother went to drink full moon wine, and stayed to play mahjong by the way.In order to answer the phone, Le Wei's mother called her aunt to save the scene. When the call was connected, only the sounds of "touch", "self-touch" and "reconciled" were heard, and Le Wei's mother's high-pitched voice was unique: "Don't bully my sister who is born! Be careful, I won and you won't have any underwear left!"

In the next second, it turned into a considerate mother's voice: "What's the matter, baby son?"

Le Wei knew that his mother must have won money again, and he was in a good mood, so he was so motherly from tone to attitude.He thought that he would secretly send a WeChat message to his father later. Before his father paid a huge sum of money behind his mother's back to buy a combination stereo, he never dared to take it home and left it in the garage for more than two months. Now I finally found a chance to confess to my mother, and I don't have to worry about dying a miserable death.

Le Wei lowered his voice and asked, "Mom, do you know how to make dumplings?"

Le Wei's mother rolled her eyes: "Nonsense!"

"Then do you know how to make emerald cabbage dumplings? It's green with pleats, very similar to the emerald cabbage kind..." Le Wei asked, "Does that kind need artificial coloring?"

Le Wei's mother was stunned by her son: "What artificial coloring, that's spinach juice!"

Le Wei's mother sighed: "Do you have spinach at home?"

Le Wei looked through a few big bags that he had just brought back from the supermarket. Fortunately, he bought them.

"Yes." he said.

"Then I'll teach you." Le Wei's mother said, "Wash the spinach first, cut everything, put it in the juicer to squeeze the juice, and then filter out the debris, leaving only pure vegetable juice, and then use this juice to mix noodle……"

In fact, the steps are not complicated, and Le Wei's mother finished speaking after 5 minutes of teaching: "Have you learned it?"

Le Wei was silent, silent, silent: "Mom, you just said that two colors of dough are mixed together, then what?"

"Then cut it into small noodle pieces one by one."

"and then?"

"Roll the dumpling wrappers."

"And then?"

This time, Le Wei's mother was silent.

"Aren't you even good at adjusting dumpling stuffing?"

Le Wei swallowed his saliva: "Yeah."

"..." Le Wei's mother said, "Then go to the restaurant downstairs and order a plate to satisfy your hunger."

"No, Mom, I have to do it myself." Le Wei murmured honestly, "I told people that I can make dumplings..."

"But you obviously won't!"

Levi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Le Wei's mother reacted immediately: "Does your girlfriend want to eat?"

Although the gender was wrong, Le Wei still let out a "huh".

Le Wei's mother sneered three times.

"It's said that I can't keep it. As a mother, I haven't eaten the dumplings you made yet, so you have to wait on others." Despite what she said, Le Wei's mother still turned to her son, "Forget it Yes, I will write it down for you and send it to you on WeChat, and you can follow suit later.”

After speaking, I hung up.

Le Wei felt relieved and happily went to change clothes.

Opening the kitchen door, Xia Chu stood outside.

"Who are you calling?" Xia Chu asked suspiciously.

"...my mother." Le Wei replied with a guilty conscience.

"What are you talking about?"

"Just... ask her how my dad is doing recently."

Xia Chu looked him up and down with scrutiny, with a half-smile: "Do you really know how to make dumplings?"

Le Wei choked suddenly: "...Yes! The dumplings I made are so beautiful!"

After 10 minutes, Le Wei found sadly that he couldn't even mix a piece of dough.

He carefully avoided Xia Chu, poked the voice button at the bottom of WeChat with a little finger that hadn't been covered with much flour, and whispered to his mother: "Mom, how much water to add? Why is the flour still loose! "

Before Mom's reply came, Xia Chu came first.He held a teacup in his right hand with black tea in it, Youzai Youzai swayed around Le Wei, glanced at the horrible pile of gnocchi, and asked lightly: "Can I eat at nine o'clock tonight?" Dumplings?"

Le Wei felt ashamed for a moment, when his mother's voice came over, with a sound of "咻", Xia Chu stretched out his hand and clicked the play.

"There is less water! Add water! Add water! Less water, more water, less noodles, more noodles! Oh, how did I raise such a stupid son like you!"

Xia Chu burst out laughing.

He moved a chair and sat by the kitchen door, euphemistically called the supervisor.

It's time for dinner, and Levi's emerald cabbage dumplings have not yet taken shape.Xia Chu was a little hungry, grabbed a bag of potato chips, and ate them deliciously and crisply.Hearing this voice, Le Wei was also hungry, wandering around the kitchen to work, and had to go around a long way to ask for a piece in front of Xia Chu.Le Wei's hands were full of noodles, and it was inconvenient to grasp, so Xia Chu fed him with his own hands.The potato chips are too big, and I feel full after eating a few slices. Le Wei is afraid that Xia Chu won't be able to eat the dumplings later, so he reminds him: "Eat less, be careful that you are full, and you won't be able to eat later."

Xia Chu touched her belly: "Even if I'm full, this one is still hungry, don't worry, I can eat."

Le Wei couldn't help but looked up at him: "Can you feel him?"

"I can't feel it." Xia Chu shook his head, "didn't Dr. Yu say that when he went back for an examination last time, he only has such a small spot, and he hasn't formed yet."

Xia Chu compared his fingertips, indicating to Le Wei that the child is about this big.

"But that was two weeks ago after all." Levi said, "I've heard people say that the child grows up so fast, you don't think what's wrong, he has grown up."

"It will take ten months sooner." Xia Chu asked Le Wei, "Are you in a hurry?"

Le Wei lowered his head, kneaded the dough in his hands vigorously, raised his head for a while, his face was full of shyness and tenderness: "Which father is not in a hurry to see his child?"

After Le Wei prepared the noodles, he had to put them in a basin for a while, commonly known as "waking noodles".According to the instructions on my mother's WeChat, he is going to adjust the meat stuffing now.Xia Chu wanted to eat pork stuffing with cabbage, so he bought a Chinese cabbage, chopped it with both knives, and quickly chopped out a small pot of cabbage.Then pour the meat stuffing in, add seasoning...

Xia Chu asked him, "What's wrong?"

Le Wei held the seasoning bottle and hesitated: "My mother said, add the right amount of salt, soy sauce, and cooking wine...how much is the right amount?"

He asked Xia Chu: "Do you know?"

How could Xia Chu know?

He walked up to Le Wei, took a look at the soy sauce bottle, then picked up the cooking wine bottle, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The last time I saw people making dumplings was when my dad was alive."

Le Wei wanted to send another WeChat message to ask his mother. Xia Chu thought it was troublesome, so he poured soy sauce, salt, cooking wine, etc. into it without waiting for him to ask.

"Try it." Xia Chu said, "If it doesn't taste good, we'll go out and eat hot pot."

Le Wei readily accepted, and took the chopsticks to mix the meat, vegetables, and seasonings together.

"Actually, I don't know how to make dumplings at all." Le Wei confessed.

"I guessed it." Xia Chu said.

"It turned out that my mother was afraid that I would starve outside alone, so she asked me to learn more. When I have no money to eat out, I can cook at home by myself." Le Wei said, "I have learned to cook, but I don't like it. Learn how to make dumplings. It’s too troublesome, why don’t you go out and buy them.”

"You learned all your cooking skills from your mother?" Xia Chu asked.

"And my grandma. My mother learned from my grandma, and I learned from my mother."

"What about your father?" Xia Chu grew up in a single-parent family. His mother was his father, and his father was also his father. As a result, he didn't know much about the role of his mother subconsciously, so he subconsciously asked other people's fathers.

Le Wei smiled and said, "My dad is in charge of eating." He paused and added, "If my dad cooks, he can blow up the kitchen, do you believe it?"

"Is your father only responsible for eating?" Xia Chu was puzzled.

"My dad is also responsible for earning money to support us." Le Wei said, "My dad is a senior engineer and is in charge of road planning. When I was young, my mother was not in good health, so my dad asked her to resign and said that he would support us. My mother She said that at first she thought my dad was talking big, but she didn't expect him to go to work during the day and take a part-time job at night, slowly making more and more money, and he really did it."

Xia Chu listened earnestly, Le Wei turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "You know, my dad always wanted me to take over his class and do road planning."

"Then why didn't you do it?" Xia Chu asked.

"I don't like it." Le Wei said, "I have liked acting since I was a child. There must be a party at school, and I must be indispensable. In high school, the film school went to us to hold an admissions lecture, and I skipped class to attend it. In the afternoon, when I came back, I decided to take the film school. My dad found out and almost broke my leg."

Le Wei stuck out his tongue and spread his hands exaggeratedly: "It's a good thing he didn't interrupt, otherwise the Chinese film and television industry will lose such a talented actor!"

Xia Chu was amused by him.

"What about you?" Le Wei asked, "Although you didn't become a director, you still hang out in this circle. If Director Xia is alive, you will be very pleased, right?"

Le Wei originally wanted to compliment him calmly, but Xia Chu's smile was a bit forced: "My father...he doesn't really want me to enter this circle."

"Why?" Levi was very surprised.

"He's tired of being in this circle, and he wants me to be less involved with this circle. It's better to have a job that can't be achieved, even if it's an ordinary life." Xia Chu's eyes dimmed three points, and he suddenly smiled. , "You know, I studied directing in college."

"Really?!" After Le Wei was startled, he immediately remembered the rumors in the market, "By the way, they said that you and Director Han are college classmates, and Director Han studied directing, so you must be too...then why are you a producer? gone?"

"Because Han Song is more talented than me." Xia Chu said, "I think it is enough to have him make movies, and I can do some work that needs me more."

A producer is indeed more suitable for Xia Chu than a director - he is smart, tough, cunning, and sociable.As a director, this kind of person probably won't be able to make any shocking films, but as a producer, he can relieve a director of worries and allow the director to devote himself to creation.

"Xia Chu." Le Wei called out suddenly.

Xia Chu raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"

"I always hear you mention Director Xia, what about your other father?" This question has been lingering in Le Wei's mind for a long time, and Le Wei couldn't help asking.

Xia Chu's expression turned cold in an instant, and then quickly returned to indifference.

"He's dead." Xia Chu's tone was calm.

"When did it happen?" Le Wei subconsciously asked, "Have you seen him?"

"No." Xia Chu said, "He died before I was born."

Xia Chu is... a posthumous child?

Le Wei instantly made up a sad story, and couldn't help feeling distressed and sorry.

"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness." Le Wei whispered.

"It's okay." Xia Chu said, "It's not a sad thing, but... I really don't want to mention it."

Le Wei regretted it so much that he decided not to mention it forever.

He adjusted the stuffing, dipped it with his chopsticks, tasted the saltiness, dipped it with another chopstick, and handed it to Xia Chu to taste.Xia Chu licked it, smacked his lips, thought for a long time, and hesitated: "It seems...is there something missing?"

"Chicken essence? Or sesame oil?" Levi asked.

Xia Chu didn't know either: "Put them all in and try."

Le Wei put it all in - anyway, it's already like this, let's let it go, it's not good, at worst, go eat hot pot.

After the adjustment, Le Wei gave Xia Chu another taste.This time Xia Chu thought for a longer time, and asked for a second lick, and then said: "It's almost there."

Le Wei then understood that he must be comparing this taste with a certain taste in his memory.

Thinking of what he said just now, the last time he saw people making dumplings was when his father was alive, who he was comparing himself with, he was already ready to figure out.

"How long has it been since you had dumplings?" Le Wei asked.

"It's not long, but I ate it in the shop." Xia Chu replied.

Le Wei heard the hidden message after hearing this sentence: "After Director Xia passed away, have you ever eaten dumplings at home?"

"I have eaten at other people's homes, but not many times." Xia Chu said lightly.

Le Wei reminded him: "What about the Chinese New Year?"

"Just go to the supermarket to buy something in advance and prepare it at home." Xia Chu said, "Or go to the store to eat."

Xia Chu's expression and attitude are too taken for granted, which makes Le Wei not know what to express.

"How do you usually celebrate the New Year?" Le Wei asked, "Are you alone? You have so many friends, do they just watch you alone?"

Xia Chu lowered his head and thought for a while in silence.

"When I was in college, Han Song and I went to his house one year." Xia Chu took a deep breath, as if trying to appease some old emotions, and slowly vomited it out, "I ate dumplings that time, they were delicious , Mother Han made it. But...Han Song’s family is a big family, it’s too big and there are too many people...I won’t go there afterwards.”

A person like him who lost his father when he was young and whose only family member passed away when he was a teenager is actually the least suitable for the lively, harmonious and harmonious big family.The more harmonious others are, the more it will reflect his loneliness and bleakness.It would be fine if he could blend in, but Xia Chu was cold-tempered and couldn't blend in, so he could only watch them from afar, the desertedness was his own.

"Later, during the Chinese New Year, some friends asked me to go with them, and some old acquaintances of my father kindly invited me. But I am a guest after all. After the banquet is over, I have to go home." Xia Chu said, "Actually, Chinese New Year is nothing special. It's just an ordinary day, and I can live it as I usually do. Besides, I'm usually too busy, and I only have a few days to rest during the Chinese New Year. I wish I could stay at home and not go anywhere."

While talking, Xia Chu suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up: "By the way, there are very few cars on the road during the Chinese New Year. I will drive to Xidan Book Building to buy books, and I will be there in 10 minutes!"

Le Wei looked at Xia Chu quietly.

The man's expression was vivid, he was no longer as cold as before, but it was inexplicably distressing.

"I'll spend the New Year with you this year." Le Wei said suddenly.

Le Wei held chopsticks in his hand and wore an apron around his waist. His appearance was slightly funny, but his expression was as serious as an oath.

Xia Chudao: "During the Chinese New Year this year, you should be on the set."

"Anyway, I will definitely spend the New Year with you." Le Wei looked at Xia Chu non-stop, with a stubborn tone, "Let's make an agreement."

Xia Chu was always worried that he would not be able to eat until nine o'clock. In fact, the dumplings were not cooked until eight fifty-nine o'clock.Le Wei only had experience in cooking quick-frozen dumplings, not fresh dumplings. He estimated that the time would be about the same, so he took out one and tried it, and threw away the remaining half after taking a bite.

"Raw!" Levi said.

"Is it delicious?" Xia Chu only cared about this.

Le Wei looked embarrassed: "Just remember that it is raw, and forget to taste it."

The two continued to cook.

There is a trick to cooking dumplings. Lewei’s mother said on WeChat that after the dumplings float, you need to add cold water twice, and keep stirring with a spoon. After the third float, they can be out of the pot.Le Wei did as it was, adding cold water, stirring, stirring, a layer of vegetables and oil stars floated in the pot.

Some dumplings are broken!

Xia Chu was very distressed, Le Wei didn't know what to do, there was nothing he could do anyway, thinking about the hot pot, so he continued to stir up trouble.

I don't know how many were broken. When the dumplings floated up for the third time, Le Wei picked up one with a big spoon, held it with chopsticks, and handed it to Xia Chu's mouth: "Taste it."

It was extremely hot, and Xia Chu was steaming from eating, fanning his mouth with his palms.Le Wei asked him, "Is it delicious?" He raised his head, his tears were streaming out, he slurred his speech, and smiled all over his face: "It's delicious."

It has been 15 years since his father passed away, and finally someone made dumplings for him again.

It was Le Wei's first time making dumplings. He was inexperienced. He kneaded two big doughs and made dozens of big dumplings.He filled a plate, asked Xia Chu to bring it to the coffee table in the living room, and filled another plate himself.Xia Chu walked to the living room, full of joy of eating dumplings, and returned to the kitchen, but stopped at the door.

According to the custom, the photo of Xia Chu's father was placed on the stove top, and Le Wei put a whole plate of crystal clear jadeite cabbage dumplings on a plate printed with flowers, and enshrined it in front of the photo of Xia Chu's father.

"Father, I made this, you should try it too." Le Wei turned his back to Xia Chu, and whispered to Director Xia in the photo, "Don't worry, if I take care of Xia Chu for you, he won't suffer Sorry."
