Chasing

They went up to the top of the mountain and looked down at the reservoir. It was not as spectacular as it looked at close range, but the wind on the mountain was more comfortable, blowing the locust forest not far away, bringing the fragrance of locust tree flowers. For the bees, there are many beehives on the platform surrounded by barbed wire, and a sign selling honey is hung on the barbed wire, with a phone number on it.Wei Yi asked Han Jifei: "Do you want to buy some?"

Han Jifei shook his head with a smile, and said, "My dad will take office in Lingquan in a while, and I'm the only one at home, so I don't need it."

Wei Yi had heard this news from the mayor Hu before, but this time it came out of Han Jifei's mouth, but it was a different feeling.

"It may be announced next week." He chuckled dryly, and continued, "He has been dragged down by my mother for two years, and his career is also a loss."

"He is your father, you can't say that." Wei Yi said.

Han Jifei sat down on a rock, stretched his legs, and said to Wei Yi, "He wasn't there when my mother was hospitalized, and he wasn't there when my mother died. What else can I say?"

"..." Wei Yi didn't know what to say for a while, so he chose to shut up.

"I'm pretty disappointed in him."

Wei Wenxi listened with half-knowledge, but interrupted at this moment: "Brother Xiao Fei, there is no father who doesn't love his children. You can see that my father loves me very much."

Han Jifei smiled, he looked at Wei Yi, Wei Yi finally saw Han Jifei's clear eyes again, these eyes were no longer confused, but full of hope.

Going up and down the mountain, Wei Wenxi, who is always energetic, fell asleep in the car, and didn't wake up until Wei Yi parked the car at the door of a farmhouse.

Wei Yi said, "You're all hungry, let's go eat something."

The boss is a middle-aged man in his 50s. Seeing them coming in, he enthusiastically introduced the characteristics of his restaurant, such as: stewed big carp in the reservoir, stewed chicken with mushrooms and so on.Wei Yi ordered a piece of fish and some home-cooked food. The three of them found a clean table and sat down to eat.

The carp is freshly killed, and the price is not cheap, but it is fresh. The boss set up the stove in the yard with a large iron pot on it. From killing the fish to stewing the fish, the whole process is transparent, and there is no shortage of catties. two.I saw that he fried the pan with scallion and ginger, and then put the fish into the oil pan to fry until both sides were golden, and then poured water to cover the fish body. The noodles were patted by the boss into big golden pancakes and stuck to the side of the pot, and the lid was closed and it started to simmer.It takes more than ten, twenty, ten minutes, when the lid of the pot is uncovered, a smell of aroma comes out. When the soup in the pot is collected, the boss finds a pot, puts the fish into the pot, and then scoops out the cornmeal pancakes. Serve on top of the fish.

The bowl of fish that was brought to the table had a strong aroma. Wei Yi took a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. The smell of the fish was released between his lips and teeth. delicacies.The most beautiful thing is the stewed transparent wide noodles and golden corn flour pancakes. The wide noodles absorb the soup of the fish, but the strong taste and strong texture make the fish slightly inferior, and the pancakes Dipped in fish soup, the sweetness and savory taste blend together, not to mention how wonderful it is.

Both Wei Wenxi and Han Jifei enjoyed their meal, and the boss brought another plate of scrambled farm eggs with green onions.This egg is much yellower than the eggs in the city, and the scallions are slightly sweet and slightly spicy, which goes well with the eggs.

This meal made it difficult for the three of them to walk. Even though the price was a bit more expensive, Wei Yi felt it was worth it.

Back in the city, both Han Jifei and Wei Wenxi fell asleep, and the slight snoring accompanied by the music in the car made Wei Yi feel very comfortable.The young man beside him, Wei Yi could tell that he was gradually getting out of the shadow of his mother's death, and he would definitely get better and better.

Wei Yi sent Han Jifei home, and he and his son went to his parents.Wei Wenxi was so sleepy that she wanted to sleep with her grandparents, but Wei Yi wanted to go home. After discussing with her son, he went home by himself.

After a tiring day, Wei Yi took a shower, turned on the TV, and lay on the sofa feeling drowsy, when the phone rang, startling Wei Yi.

It was Han Jifei.

Wei Yi picked it up, and Han Jifei said from the other end, "Brother Wei, are you free?"

"It's free."

"I want to chat with you for a while."

Wei Yi glanced at the time, it was past five in the afternoon, and he had nothing to do, so he said, "Let's talk."

"Can you come out? It's not clear on the phone."

After walking for a day, Wei Yi became lazy. He said, "Why don't you take a taxi and come to my house. Wen Xi sleeps at his grandparents' place, and there is no one else at home."

"Okay, I'll take a taxi later."

In fact, the moment Wei Yi proposed to let Han Jifei come over, he regretted it, but the words have been said, and it is difficult to change his words.He didn't even know what he was thinking, maybe he felt that in Han Jifei's situation, he felt that being at home would give him a sense of security.

Han Jifei came over with canned wine and spicy duck, and seemed to have a lot to say to Wei Yi.

Wei Yi put the things on the table, Han Jifei washed his hands and came over to help him.

"What's the matter?" Wei Yi opened two cans of wine, placed one in front of Han Jifei, and held the other in his hand.Han Jifei didn't look as excited as he was during the day, as if a layer of camouflage had been torn off.

Han Jifei took a sip of his wine and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

Wei Yi was not in a hurry, and did not rush him.

After a long time, Han Jifei finally said, "Actually, I wanted to tell you when I went out to play today, but it spoiled the atmosphere too much."

"say what?"

"Brother Wei, I want to resign."

"Huh?" Wei Yi was surprised.

Han Jifei looked down at his toes, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I made a decision recently. I came back because my mother was sick. Now that she's gone, there's no reason for me to continue living here. Before she passed away, she told me that it’s fine if she wants to stay, she’s already talked to my dad, and she doesn’t want him to control my feelings, my dad agreed. It’s fine if she wants to leave, after all, the outside world is more suitable for young people develop."

"Well, it's good to go out for a walk." Wei Yi agreed.

Han Jifei raised his head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He raised the beer can, lightly touched Wei Yi's, and said, "I'll bring it up to the village leaders after I go to work after the holiday. My classmates in Beijing heard about it and helped me find jobs and rent an apartment. It is estimated that it should be quite a mess when we get there.”

"What did your father say?" Wei Yi suddenly remembered Han Yunqing and asked.

"What he cares about is his own career, so he has no time to control me. Maybe he will feel clean after I leave, and he doesn't have to worry about me, a son who is not very up-to-date and doesn't go his way."

"Your father is not what you said." Wei Yi muttered, he had a good impression of Han Jifei's father whom he only talked to once.

"But when my mother went to the hospital and died, he was not by her side. My mother left, and he was going to Lingquan to be promoted."

"Han Jifei, that's your father."

"Brother Wei, stop talking, don't I understand my dad? Let's have a toast." Han Jifei raised his neck, drank the whole can of beer, and opened another can.
