Four Seasons Three Meals

When going to work on Monday, Jiang Huai ran into his senior sister in the tea room.

The senior sister said, "I heard that Li Xinxin has resigned."

Jiang Huai stirred the Longjing in the porcelain cup with a small silver spoon, and slowly took a sip.

The tea was given to him by Cong Shan.Hot water is poured in, and the shrunken tea leaves stretch out, standing in the cup as small as tea needles.

Cong Shan loves tea, so he goes to Hangzhou every spring to buy Mingqian Longjing tea from tea farmers and enjoy a refreshing sip.

Jiang Huai said, "There's no place for her here, so it's fine to resign."

The senior sister said: "You have a good temper, you have endured her for so long."

Jiang Huai didn't speak, just smiled.

He had other things on his mind.

The senior sister noticed: "Do you have something on your mind?"

Jiang Huai shook his head subconsciously, thought for a while, and nodded again.

The senior sister asked: "Is there a headhunter coming to dig you?"

Jiang Huai shook his head, faltering: "I'm thinking..."

He hesitated to speak, but the senior sister asked, "What do you want?"

Jiang Huai pondered for a long time, and said: "Look for a part-time job."

The law firm is well-known in the local area, and Jiang Huai has a good reputation in the industry, and has always had nothing to worry about.

The senior sister asked, "Are you short of money?"

Jiang Huai nodded in embarrassment.

The senior sister thought for a while and said, "I heard from my seniors that some big companies hire outside legal counsel. You can try it."

Speaking, the senior sister said a few company names.

Jiang Huai wrote it down in his heart.

The senior sister said: "However, these companies are very picky. You have to hurry up and pass the second-level lawyer qualification exam."

Jiang Huai nodded and made a plan in his heart.

Li Xinxin resigned, and all her remaining work was handed over to Jiang Huai.

In addition, his workload has also doubled to before.

The senior sister was very angry, and said that Mr. Li blamed Jiang Huai for Li Xinxin's affairs, and deliberately put on small shoes for him by taking advantage of his position.

Jiang Huai smiled, but did not agree.

A child is heartfelt, it is human nature.

What's more, Li is always a partner in the law firm, so it's useless for him to get angry.

He works at a law firm during the day and prepares for exams at home at night, so he has no time to spare. When he realizes, the midsummer of Jiangcheng is approaching, and the greenery is overwhelming, and the humming of cicadas echoes the steaming heat wave.

He has not contacted Cong Shan for a month.

One night, when it was raining heavily outside the window, Jiang Huai was studying at home when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

He opened the door, and Shang Chen was standing at the door dripping wet, with a twenty-inch suitcase at his feet.

Shang Chen raised his head, looked at Jiang Huai, his eyes were red, "I broke up with Cheng Yang."

Jiang Huai was taken aback and quickly let him in.

It's not that Shang Chen and Cheng Yang have broken up before, but it's the first time that Shang Chen left home late at night dragging his suitcase to look for Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Shang Chen sneezed violently and nodded.

Jiang Huai found him clean towels and a change of clothes, and asked him to take a bath.Shang Chen opened the bathroom door and said to Jiang Huai, "Honey, I haven't had your porridge for a long time."

When they were in college, the two lived in a dormitory, Shang Chen was a picky eater, and Jiang Huai often gave him small meals.

Shang Chen added: "I still want to eat ginger milk."

After speaking, he lowered his head and sneezed again.

Jiang Huai urged him to take a shower quickly, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

There was beef in the refrigerator, Jiang Huai took it out, and took a handful of green onions and a piece of ginger.

He is going to make raw beef porridge.

The rice for porridge should be polished rice. Jiang Huai poured out a small bowl, washed it carefully, and mixed it with salt.When the water in the pot boiled, he poured in the rice and added a handful of chopped tangerine peel.

Cut the beef into thin slices, add soda powder, salt, sugar, starch, soy sauce and water, mix well with chopsticks, and set aside.

The porridge in the pot was slowly bubbling. Jiang Huai washed his hands and made ginger milk while the porridge was cooking.

He peeled the ginger and cut it into pieces, put it in the juicer, squeezed out the ginger juice and poured it into a white porcelain bowl.

The microwave made a "ding" sound. He took out the heated whole milk, cut a small hole, poured it into a bowl of ginger juice, added a spoonful of white sugar, and let it stand for a while until the milk slowly curdled.

He added a spoonful of honey to the milk, and the porridge pot just boiled.

Jiang Huai stirred slightly with a spoon, and the white porridge was thick. He picked up the beef with chopsticks, put it into the boiling porridge piece by piece, turned to low heat and simmered slowly, and finally removed the pot and added the chopped green onion and shredded ginger that had been prepared in advance.

He took the bowl to the restaurant, Shang Chen had already showered and was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Jiang Huai called him: "Come here and have some porridge first, and catch a cold carefully."

Shang Chen walked over to the table, picked up the bowl and took a sip.The warm porridge slipped into his stomach, and the aroma of the food burst in his mouth, and he let out a sigh of satisfaction.

He said to Jiang Huai, "You are the best for me."

Jiang Huai asked: "What's wrong with Cheng Yang? Tell him, and I'll sue him for bankruptcy."

Shang Chen sighed: "Chengyang doesn't care about me, Chengyang has a lot of shit."

Jiang Huai waited for him to say more.

Shang Chen sneered: "My mother dismissed my position, and even arranged a blind date for Cheng Yang without telling me, in a vain attempt to make me a mistress."

After graduating from university, Shang Chen joined Cheng Yang's company as a legal consultant, and his position in the company was as light as light.It must have taken a lot of effort for Mrs. Cheng to get rid of him.

Jiang Huai asked, "Where's Cheng Yang? Are you listening to the fuck?"

Shang Chen sneered: "If he dares to listen, I will kill him with him."

Jiang Huai felt relieved, Cheng Yang was determined, and this hand was inseparable.

Shang Chen drank the porridge in the bowl in two or three gulps, and bumped the milk with ginger, suddenly depressed, and said melancholy: "Ah Huai, what do you think I should do."

There was a late-night dog blood ethics drama on TV, and the wicked mother-in-law made unreasonable demands on the weak daughter-in-law, paying her to leave her son.

Jiang Huai felt a sudden pain in his temple.

He thought for a while and said, "Before marriage...remember to do property notarization."

Shang Chen said dejectedly, "I know."

They both understand that this is the best way for both parties, but Shang Chen can't accept it for a while, because his love needs to be weighed on the balance.

Jiang Huai comforted him and said: "The water is deep for a wealthy family, so take precautions before they happen."

Shang Chen felt depressed and nodded.

Shang Chen washed up after eating supper, and the two slept on the same bed and chatted.

Jiang Huai sent a message to Cheng Yang: "Shang Chen is here, don't worry."

Cheng Yang quickly replied to him: "Tell him to go to bed early and don't stay up late."

Jiang Huai replied: "Okay."

Cheng Yang replied: "Thank you."

He put away his mobile phone, Shang Chen hugged his waist, buried his face in his neck, sullen.

Shang Chen said: "Baby, in the future, you must find someone who can love you wholeheartedly."

Jiang Huai patted him on the back reassuringly, making him happy: "I also marry a rich man, and I complain to you about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every day."

Shang Chen said arrogantly, "I won't allow it."

Jiang Huai said: "Comrade Shang's ideological awareness is not high enough. We must first get rich and then get rich."

Thinking of his gluttony, Shang Chen said, "You should marry the cook, and delicacies from mountains and seas will be offered to you every day."

Thinking of Cong Shan, Jiang Huai half-truthfully said, "I'm going to marry a Chinese medicine doctor in the future."

Shang Chen asked, "Why did you say that suddenly?"

Jiang Huai joked: "I'm a lawyer, he's a doctor, one seeks money, the other kills, what a match."

Shang Chen spat at him with a "bah".

Jiang Huai said: "To put it another way, one hangs the pot to help the world, and the other helps the world to help the people."

Jiang Huai was amused by the thought in his mind: "We can adopt a child, named Zi Jiangji."

Shang Chen was also amused by him: "What year is it, and you still call it a homonym old meme! I want to give you a bad review for your funny business!"

Jiang Huai said: "Go to sleep, I will make ginger chicken for you tomorrow."

Shang Chen closed his eyes in satisfaction, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, Jiang Huai took a day off to stay with Shang Chen at home.

The two put together a jigsaw puzzle at home, there were more than 1000 pieces, Shang Chen didn't feel interested in it for a while, so he went to the study to look through Jiang Huai's photo album.

Jiang Huai cleaned up the mess and went to the study, only to find Shang Chen sitting on the floor, looking at the old photos with red eyes.

Jiang Huai took a look, and there were photos he took when he was in college on the album.He understood, and his heart softened.

Shang Chen sniffed, wiped away tears with the back of his hand, and said, "We Ah Huai have worked so hard."

Jiang Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but went to comfort him instead: "It's all in the past."

Shang Chen hugged Jiang Huai and said, "We all have to be good, meet the right person and do the right thing."

Jiang Huai hugged him back, thinking of Cong Shan in his heart, and his tone was firm and gentle.

"Well, we'll all be fine."

Jiang Huai went to work the next day, and was assigned a lot of work.

After the college entrance examination, the divorce rate increased sharply. Mr. Li didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and all the divorce cases were left to Jiang Huai to handle.

Jiang Huai regretted persuading Li Xinxin to resign.

He thought selfishly, if Li Xinxin stayed here, even if she was bullied at the workplace, it was her own business, and she was simply meddling in her own business.

After thinking about it, Li Xinxin is like wisdom teeth, keeping them is always a hidden danger.

When his wisdom teeth were inflamed, he couldn't happily eat crispy chicken; when Li Xinxin got into trouble, he couldn't happily eat crispy chicken either.

Thinking of the crispy and charred skin of the crispy chicken, Jiang Huai was full of fighting spirit.

On Friday, near the end of get off work, the senior sister came to him.

The senior sister said: "Boss asked you to go to Huaigang for a business trip on weekends."

Jiang Huai asked: "Which Boss?"

The senior sister said cryptically, "Muzi Li."

Jiang Huai sighed, thinking, I knew it.

He turned on his mobile phone to buy a ticket, then opened the memo, and wrote "Business trip to Huai-Hong Kong" on the weekend column.

The senior sister said: "I will send the information to your mailbox later, please pay attention to check it."

Jiang Huai agreed, and the senior sister left.

It wasn't until he walked downstairs that the sight was blocked by the heavy rain curtain and the light was cut off by the big raindrops that he realized that he didn't bring an umbrella.

The sky in Jiangcheng's midsummer can change as soon as it is said, the sun is bright in the morning, and it is pouring rain in the evening.

But he didn't bring an umbrella yet, Jiang Huai sighed, thinking to himself, it's really a leaky house and it rains all night.

There is a convenience store next to the law firm. When Jiang Huai walked in, the umbrellas had already been sold out by impatient tourists.

He sent a message to Shang Chen: "I'll be back late tonight, there are leftovers in the refrigerator."

After a while, Shang Chen called him directly.

Shang Chen asked, "Where are you?"

Jiang Huai said: "Convenience store. It's raining too much. I can't leave without an umbrella."

Shang Chen asked, "Are you busy this weekend?"

Jiang Huai said, "Business trip."

Jiang Huai asked again: "What's wrong?"

Shang Chen said, "I originally planned to arrange a blind date for you."

Jiang Huai caught the key word: "Originally?"

Shang Chen said, "You're going on a business trip, and I already have someone in mind."

Jiang Huai smiled: "I'm glad we've never met before, and wish them a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Shang Chen made a "tss" on the other end of the phone, chatted for a while, and hung up the phone.

The aroma of instant noodles and oden permeated the shop, and Jiang Huai suddenly remembered that the first time he met Cong Shan was also such a rainy evening.

Cong Shan gave him his only umbrella, just like the white lady rescued Xu Xian from the broken bridge and willows.

Jiang Huai bought a bowl of instant noodles, added two fried eggs, and a cup of cherry Yakult.

He sat by the window with a noodle bowl in his hand, with a mountain in his heart, reminiscing about the little things he had known so far, and felt that the rain that prevented him from going home became amiable and lovely.
