Chasing

After Wei Yi finished burning the charcoal, he set up the copper hot pot and put the sauerkraut that had been stewed into the hot pot. The sauerkraut and pork belly bloomed instantly in the hot soup.

Surrounding the copper hot pot are cockles, shrimp clams, small crabs, freshwater prawns, razor clams...these small seafood, as well as frozen tofu, vermicelli, and some green vegetables. Wei Yi first cooked the seafood in the hot pot, After a while, some frozen tofu was placed. Soon, the hot pot was packed to the brim. The frozen tofu absorbed the deliciousness released by sauerkraut, pork belly and seafood like a sponge.

Wei Yi provided two bowls of condiments, and whoever eats them can put some in his own bowl. One bowl is chive flowers and red fermented bean curd, and the other bowl is chopped garlic with some soy sauce. He also fried it fresh. A bit of chili oil, chive flowers and red fermented bean curd with sauerkraut, garlic soy sauce with white meat, complement each other, and leave a fragrant taste on the lips and teeth.

After finishing these things, Wei Yi went to call the two little kids who were having fun in the living room.My son didn't say anything, he was only 12 years old, and his face was flushed with laughter.But Wei Yi never expected that Han Jifei was also like a child, laughing and arguing with his son. He seemed to be a little hot, and the knitted sweater he was wearing before was also taken off, and he only wore a shirt.

Wei Yi leaned against the door and watched them for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "It's time to eat."

When Han Jifei saw Wei Yi there, his face turned red. Maybe his image was ruined all of a sudden, and he felt embarrassed. He stood up, pulled his clothes, and asked, "Brother Wei, where is the bathroom?"

Wei Wenxi pulled him and said, "Brother Xiaofei, I'll take you there."

Han Jifei was dragged by Wei Wenxi to wash his hands, and looked back at Wei Yi, as if he wanted to restore his image in Wei Yi's heart. In fact, Han Jifei didn't know that his image had probably been fixed in Wei Yi's heart at that hot spring hotel. up.

The three sat at the dining table, Wei Yi opened two bottles of beer, Han Jifei also said he didn't know how to drink, Wei Yi said: "How is that possible?"

"Really, I blush when I drink it."

Wei Yi seized on his speech impediment and said, "That's also good at drinking." After speaking, he poured a full glass for Han Jifei.Wei Wenxi drank the warm Lulu that Wei Yi gave him, and said to Wei Yi while blowing on the hot air, "Dad, don't get my brother Xiaofei drunk."

Wei Wenxi spoke to Han Jifei inside and out, obviously an iron man Wei Wenxi could sell his father.

There was a northerly wind blowing outside, making the branches rustle, but inside the house was another lively scene. The three of them were talking and laughing as they ate steaming sauerkraut hot pot. There were meat and vegetables in the hot pot. In Han Jifei's words, Said that this is probably the best sauerkraut hot pot he has eaten in his 25 years of life.

When Wei Yi was happy, he drank too much. After drinking a bottle of beer, he felt that it was not particularly enjoyable, so he opened the Honghualang brought by Han Jifei.Wei Yi, who had enough alcohol, poured himself a small glass, and asked Han Jifei if he wanted it. Han Jifei's face was flushed, as if stained with rouge. I don't know if it was the hot pot or the effect of alcohol.He waved his hand and said nothing, and Wei Yi said, "Then you drink all the beer."

Han Jifei seemed to be in good spirits, so he actually agreed. Wei Wenxi was gnawing on a shrimp, and had no time to deal with the two grown-ups' lawsuit over alcohol. During the exchange of glasses, Wei Yi was so dazed that he didn't even bother to call. Hearing that, it was Han Jifei who reminded him.

Wei Yi answered the phone without looking at who it was, and the familiar yet unfamiliar female voice on the phone pulled him out of the illusion. "Wei Yi? I'm Zhang Xinrui."

The voice of this person had appeared on his phone more than a month ago, and now it appeared again and made him stand up vigilantly.The dining table also became very quiet because of his standing, and the voice on the other end of the phone was heard by all the people at the dining table in an impartial manner.

"Well, is there something you want to call?" Wei Yi's voice was very calm.

"Oh, I'm going back to China early, do you have time to meet up? Bring Wenxi."

Wei Yi's heart was pounding, the powerful rhythm hit his eardrums, he could hear it very clearly, disturbing his thoughts.Yes, more than ten years have passed, and he still can't calm down.

"Forget it, Wen Xi doesn't want to see you."

"Wei Yi, don't be so selfish." Zhang Xinrui was the first to accuse him.

In front of his son, Wei Yi held back his anger and said, "I'll discuss whether I'm selfish or not. I'll hang up first if there are guests at home." Although Zhang Xinrui on the other end of the phone called his name, Wei Yi still hung up the phone.

Han Jifei and Wei Wenxi at the dining table were staring at him blankly, especially Wei Wenxi, whose eyes were full of puzzlement and resentment.

Wei Yi smiled at them, sat down, filled Han Jifei's wine glass, and then said to his son, "Wen Xi, eat first."

Wei Wenxi looked at him, and nodded after a while.

The good atmosphere at the dinner table was ruined by this phone call. The most embarrassing person in the process was probably Han Jifei. In order to alleviate this embarrassment, Wei Yi kept adding food to Han Jifei's bowl and clinked glasses with Han Jifei.Wei Yi tried his best to hide his emotions, but his heart had lost its rhythm under the agitation of alcohol. After drinking a glass of white wine, he poured himself some more. It was not until Han Jifei reminded him that he had poured out the wine. Some are out of the cup.

What a pity that such an expensive wine was spilled.Wei Yi took a bunch of paper towels to wipe the table clean. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he raised his glass and drank all the wine in the glass amidst the exclamations of Han Jifei and his son.

Wei Yi was drunk, he had no other reaction when he was drunk, he was silent and didn't speak, his thoughts were still very clear, he clearly knew that Han Jifei and his son helped him to lie on the bed, his son took off his shoes for him, and Han Jifei was in a hurry He poured water for him, Wei Yi wanted to speak but couldn't speak.

Zhang Xinrui said that coming back and actually coming back are two different concepts for him. He knew that such a day would come, but he never expected it to come so soon.

Wei Yi heard Han Jifei ask Wei Wenxi in the living room: "Who called just now? Why did your father react so strongly?"

Wei Wenxi said angrily: "It should be said that it is the woman called my mother."

"Why do you say that about your mother?" Han Jifei asked Wei Wenxi.

Wei Wenxi said: "I have never seen my mother since I was a child. I heard from my grandparents that they divorced and I was sentenced to my mother. Then I was not yet one year old, so I was sent back to my father to raise. Last month, she called and said that she would come back before the Chinese New Year and wanted to see me. My dad asked me if I would like to, but I didn’t agree. Why? return."

There was silence for a while, and then Han Jifei whispered to Wei Wenxi: "Okay, don't cry."

Then there was the sound of running water from the toilet, and at the same time, Han Jifei entered his room.

Wei Yi felt the edge of the bed move, probably because Han Jifei sat down.

Wei Yi couldn't see anything with his eyes closed, but he could feel that Han Jifei seemed to be looking at him.He didn't even dare to open his eyes.

This kind of staring didn't seem to last long, Wei Wenxi also walked in, Wei Wenxi said to Han Jifei: "Brother Xiaofei, why don't you go back first, my dad is taken care of by me, he sleeps when he drinks too much, he doesn't make trouble. "

Han Jifei smiled, stood up, and said, "Okay, then I'll go first. Huh? By the way, do you need me to tidy up the kitchen?"

Wei Wenxi said: "No need, my dad's kitchen is precious to him. When he sobers up, he can clean it up by himself."

"Well. Call me if you have anything to do. The number is on your father's phone."

"Row."

After finishing speaking, the two of them left the room, and after a while there was the sound of the door closing, and then Wei Wenxi came back and closed the door of his bedroom, and Wei Yi fell into a deep sleep.
