cool autumn

It has been more than half a month since I heard the news that day, Zhou Ran called Su Yao several times almost every day, Su Yao felt a bit of nervous reflex headache when he heard the phone ringing now.

Su Yao didn't have class today, he stayed at home with his two little ones all day, he didn't know how to cook, and Aunt Li went back to the countryside to visit relatives recently, so now they are worrying about lunch at noon.

"Little Daddy, do we have to wait for Big Daddy to come back to eat?" Su Yanbao blinked her big eyes, rubbed her belly and asked in a low voice. She knew that their little Daddy never came into the kitchen. If Aunt Li didn't come to cook, the rest of the time would be spent It was the eldest father who was doing the housework. Anyway, after they tasted Su Yao's fried eggs, they were completely desperate for Su Yao's cooking skills.

Su Yao held one in each hand, laughed and rolled into a ball, touched the heads of his two daughters, sighed, he was also very melancholy, he didn't like the fast food outside, and he was too lazy to move if he wanted to go out, However, the man in his family has a lot of things to do recently, and it may take a long time to actually deal with them. When he comes back, the three cats in the family will probably be lost.

"Daddy, I'm so hungry," Su Beiling threw down the empty milk bottle in his hand, hugged Su Yao's neck and shook it coquettishly.

Su Yao is really too lazy recently, his man is busy with the things at hand, besides preparing lessons, he is checking up on Huo Wendong's affairs, and he stays at home with a lot of time left, not going out for half a step.The snacks in this house have not been replenished for two days, Su Beiling is now drinking the last bottle of milk in the house, and it is Su Yanbao who is sensible and gives it to his younger sister.

Su Yao rubbed his face against her, lowered his head and was about to speak when the phone rang right on time, and he guessed which one it was without even looking at it, "Hello?"

Hearing the familiar voice over there, Su Yao gave a soft 'hmm', stretched out his hand to lift Xiao Yanbao's hair, and played with it in his hand. His subordinates searched for a long time, but they used his house There is no news about the man's relationship network.

I only know that the last place where Huo Wendong and his group appeared was in the warehouse where the fire had been burning for several days and nights. I heard that after the fire was extinguished, several charred bodies were found inside, including men and women. I can't tell which one it is. The police are also involved in this matter and are investigating secretly. There is no other progress yet.Su Yao didn't dare to tell Zhou Ran these things, before the matter became clear, he didn't want to pinch Zhou Ran's hope, and he didn't want to easily give him an unclear answer.

So, this matter has been dragged on and on like this.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yao closed his eyes tightly, let out a long breath, turned his head and asked slowly, "How about ordering takeaway, what do you want to eat?" After thinking for a long time, he was still too lazy to walk out of the room. Even a big supermarket not far away didn't bother to set foot.

Su Yanbao and Su Beiling looked at each other, and the excited Qi chirped loudly about their favorite food.

"Eat pizza, eat French fries, and a big Coke..."

"I want to eat the chocolate cheesecake from that bakery on Lunan Avenue..."

Each of them made random suggestions, which made Su Yao dizzy.

Taking advantage of the heated discussion among the three, the door opened with a 'click'. Su Yao looked back, was stunned in surprise, and asked blankly, "Why are you back?"

As soon as Su Yanbao and Su Beiling heard the movement, they immediately got up from Su Yao's arms, turned around and threw themselves into the arms of the visitor, and shouted with crooked smiles, "Big Daddy, you are back..."

Mu Nan's stiff expression, like a stinky slate, eased unexpectedly after seeing his two cute babies. He squatted slightly and touched their heads. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his tone was gentle. What to eat? Big Daddy will make it for you."

"Coke chicken wings, and sauced beef..." Su Yanbao rushes to report her favorite food first. When she smiles, she is very similar to Su Yao. Her eyebrows and eyes are curved like a pair of crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth will be slightly raised. Shallow radian, but it will have a warm flavor.Even though the two are actually not related by blood at all, they are surprisingly similar in this regard.

Su Beiling has always been quieter and calmer than her elder sister. She was not in a hurry when she was robbed. She just tilted her head and asked Su Yao, "Little Daddy, what do you want to eat? I can't think of it." In this regard, she is better than Su Yanbao. It's much more cunning, she doesn't like to eat everything like Su Yanbao, but she is unbelievably similar to Su Yao in terms of taste, most likely it's what Su Yao likes, and she won't dislike it.

Sure enough, the children will be contaminated with various habits of the couple after being raised for a long time.

Su Yao lay on the sofa and looked at his man's tough side face, squinting his eyes and smiling happily, "I want Babao Chicken and Sanzhen Drunken Shrimp." The little paws shook and shook, like a puppy.

Mu Nan went up a few steps, grasped those two little paws, leaned forward and kissed him, his expression was so gentle that it almost melted into a puddle of water, "I didn't buy any shrimp at home, I'm afraid it's not fresh at this time. Let’s make eight-treasure chicken, let’s eat Sanzhen Drunken Shrimp next time, okay?”

Su Yao smiled and kissed his chin, and said without hesitation: "You are a great chef, you have the final say."

"Oh~", flashing their titanium alloy dog ​​eyes, Su Yanbao and Su Beiling covered their eyes, peeked through the corner of the eyes, and let out a strange cry.

Mu Nan softened his face, rubbed his lover's hair, turned around and went to the refrigerator to get the ingredients.

This eight-treasure chicken does not mean that it is a pot of porridge like eight-treasure porridge. The selection of ingredients is absolutely strict.First of all, the chicken has to choose the kind of native chicken with strong limbs. This kind of native chicken is slightly different from the domestic chicken. It belongs to free-range chickens, and the food is more varied and richer than the domestic chicken. It often walks The degree of jumping is also higher than that of domestic chicken, so the meat quality is naturally more textured and chewy than that of domestic chicken, and the nutrition is also more complete than that of domestic chicken.

First cut the native chicken, pluck the feathers, let the blood out, wash it and place it on the chopping board. When dealing with the internal organs of the native chicken, remember to only open the neck of the chicken, otherwise it will not close when filling the ingredients. There is a hole, so it is much more difficult to deal with this chicken.I found a large number of garlic heads from the cupboard, peeled them and cut them into fine pieces, and spread them all on the inner wall of the chicken cavity, several thick layers, and filled the inside with dried longan peeled off the pulp, and the grains were full. The small black beans, and a small handful of rolled American ginseng slices, and then spread all kinds of seasonings, chopped green onions, mushrooms, etc., use a small iron fork to fix the hairpin, and use a kitchen knife to evenly cut a few knives around the chicken body , and then dry-fried in a frying pan.

After frying the native chicken for more than ten minutes, when the outer skin starts to be golden brown and crispy but the inside is still raw and uncooked, it is necessary to pick up the native chicken, let it cool on the chopping board, and place it on the chicken body Spread a layer of fresh and sweet colloidal wild honey on the surface, then take clean, crisp and tender green mint leaves, wrap them up, set them on the boiling water, and steam for an hour.

In the beginning, Mu Nan was also the master who stretched out his hands for clothes and opened his mouth for food. It wasn't that he was lazy, the key was that there were so many servants in the house that he didn't need to do it himself.

Later, I met Su Yao, whose ancestor was the kitchen killer, a miraculous kitchen killer.No matter how correct you make his porridge, in the end he still can only eat the half-baked rice soup, but it’s just that he is not good at cooking. When he met him, he locked himself at home every day , every meal time, he sat at the table and slowly ate the porridge he made, like a kind of persistence, a stubbornness that made the corners of his eyes sour. After the two were together, he moved his mind to learn to cook.

Making soup for the family to wash their hands is a kind of happiness in itself, isn't it?

Su Yao lay on the back of the sofa and watched Mu Nan doing his own business in an orderly manner. He stared worriedly. He was beaten and whipped by Zhou Ran on the phone twice in the past three days, but he really didn't care. Knowing the whereabouts of Huo Wendong, ask his man, three sticks can't beat a fart, he is suffocated and doesn't speak, sometimes when he is in a hurry, he grabs his waist and drags him on the bed, almost missing his waist Shake it off.

Hey, worry.Su Yao felt sad that his hair was going to be gray. He wanted to help Zhou Ran. He could see that the relationship between Zhou Ran and Huo Wendong was obviously not pure. When he asked about it a few days ago, Zhou Ran was right The relationship between the two did not deny it, but as far as he knew about Huo Wendong's situation, it was very difficult for the two of them to really be together with him and Mu Nan like this.

Not to mention the reaction of his mother in the UK, but judging from his past behavior, it is absolutely impossible for his son to go this way, not to mention his miserable half-heir sister On the side of the Huo family, although the head of the Huo family said that he relied heavily on him, his attitude was quite thought-provoking. It was right to leave things to Huo Wendong, but secretly it seemed like he was guarding against him. In addition to those ambitious uncles and peers in the family, who didn't want to pull him down from that prominent position, wouldn't Zhou Ran have a ready-made excuse when he appeared this week, so, comprehensively The situation, the success rate of the two of them being together is really too low.

However, as long as he thinks of Zhou Ran's indifferent appearance and clean eyes, his heart can't help but think one way, and he can't help but want to put him under his nose and protect him.

Compared to Su Yao's melancholy, Mu Nan didn't have the world to worry about these problems. Before the steamed Babao chicken was finished, he bent down and took out a jar of prepared rice from a small drawer at the bottom of the cabinet. The secret ingredient, this is for beef sauce.

After he finished the sauced beef and Coca-Cola chicken wings, and served the rice on the table, he cooked a small pot of clear soup with bamboo shoots before he leisurely went to get the steamed eight-treasure chicken.

As soon as the lid was opened, a scent of mint that was unique to the mint leaves came over the face, and the eight-treasure chicken wrapped in the whole mint leaves was taken off the plate and brought to the table, Su Yaosan and his daughter who were seated couldn't wait a long time ago. Nostrils, eyes shining brightly following his footsteps, almost glued the eyeballs to the plate.

Mu Nan took a knife and cut the mint leaf, and the smell of the chicken mixed with the mint fragrance became even stronger, because the chicken was fried in hot oil before steaming, the skin was not only crispy but also firm, When steaming, the gravy inside will not ooze out, but will stay in the chicken body. After time and temperature filtering, the gravy is slowly absorbed by the small black beans. It is chewy, and also mixed with a unique taste of bitter and sweet ginseng slices, especially the skin of this chicken is steamed with honey, it is not only sweet and crispy, but also not angry.

A family of four ate happily, each eating to their heart's content.

After the meal, Su Yao was lying on the sofa unable to move, Mu Nan let him lean on his lap, and gently rubbed his belly, while the two little ones went to watch anime safely and unmoved.

"Hey, let me tell you, do you have any news about Huo Wendong?" Su Yao hummed comfortably, while poking his finger on the chest of his own man's chest uneasily.

Mu Nan rubbed his stomach for a moment, but then slowly started rubbing again in the next second. Su Yao's deep voice sounded from his head, "I don't know." When Su Yao didn't realize it, meaning flashed across his eyes. Concealed and complicated dark light, then his eyes narrowed, and then changed into that stiff dead face again.

Su Yao noticed his meal, and was keenly aware that there must be some connection between his man and that Huo Wendong, but he didn't know what kind of conditions forced him to not even tell himself, it was a pain for Zhou Ran , Up to now I am still in a hurry, and I can't even sleep well.

"If you can get in touch with him, tell him that someone here is going to die because of him. If you don't want to come back and have no way to get in, just send a message quickly." Su Yao yawned and said lazily.

"understood."

Compared to Su Yao's leisurely and happy life, Zhou Ran's life has not been very good recently.

When I was at home, apart from paying attention to the follow-up news, I mostly asked Su Yao about Huo Wendong's affairs, his network and width, it was impossible to have no news at all.

"Ran Ran, eat something, how good you are like this, no matter how hard you work, you can't lose your health, right?" Zhou Huaning is also worried recently, this week Ran always keeps things in his heart, and doesn't tell anyone, just like this Carrying it stiffly, she felt distressed looking at it, especially seeing him holding his cell phone and waiting for news all day long. Although she didn't know what was going on, she could probably guess that she couldn't help, but this happened day after day. After a day of exhaustion, it seems that he has lost weight in less than half a month, and all the meat that the old lady in Chunlin Town nursed back to before has been consumed. This, this is really, it hurts my eyes.

"Mom, I'm fine," Zhou Ran threw down the notebook in his hand, picked up the ginseng soup that Zhou Huaning made for him, and drank it slowly. During this period of time, he was also deeply in love, and finally he was not as anxious as he was at the beginning panicked.

During this period of time, he thought a lot, every day when he had free time, he tried to recall everything and every detail that Huo Wendong told him in his previous life. In his memory, he seemed to have heard that person mention this matter. Although it was only a few words at that time, and even the process was mentioned in one sentence, he finally escaped a catastrophe.

What Zhou Ran is worried about is that he is worried that his rebirth will not only change some things, but also advance the meeting time with Huo Wendong, and in his previous life, he never knew that there is such a weird old lady in the Zhou family. Such characters, all summed up one by one, don't know if they will affect the course of history.

When walking in the school, Zhou Ran was still thinking about Huo Wendong in his previous life. Mu Wei, who was walking towards him, patted his shoulder without paying attention, and said with a smile: "Aran, you are here."

Zhou Ran nodded, looked at her sweaty appearance, and asked casually, "What did you do, why did you get so hot? Are you playing ball?"

Mu Wei shook her head with a smile, but she didn't explain. She couldn't say that she went to investigate Huo Wendong's affairs on purpose. After all, Zhou Rana couldn't stop asking the bottom line. Anyway, she is now I don't know much about the situation in my hands, so let's wait until the matter is over, the general situation is set, and the outcome is clear.

Zhou Ran was thinking about his own affairs, but didn't notice Mu Wei's actions, but suddenly a malicious stare was glued to his back, and he looked back suddenly, but saw nothing.

Mu Wei noticed it earlier than him, and turned her head faster than him. She could see clearly what was behind her, but she didn't say anything at that time, but just patted Zhou Ran on the shoulder with a smile, He said as if he had never heard of it: "What are you looking at, let's go, class is about to start."

Zhou Ran frowned and looked back for a while, then pursed her lips and entered the classroom with her schoolbag on her shoulders. Mu Wei behind her took a meaningful glance at the back, her eyes were complicated and restrained, but when she turned her eyes, it was the previous carefree woman again. fake boy.

Not long after they left, a person came out from a remote corner, with familiar eyebrows and similar profile, it was that guy Qiu Yue.The school uniform he was wearing was the same uniform as Zhou Ran and the others. Judging from the situation, Qiu Yue was clearly assigned to this school early on.

Qiu Yue stared fixedly at the positions where Zhou Ran and Mu Wei stood just now, curled up the corners of his mouth and chuckled, his eyes were resentful like a poisonous snake entrenched up, ready to move at any time.

Suddenly, when the bell rang, Qiu Yue quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket, and picked it up respectfully, "Sir."

Asked slowly over there, Qiu Yue blushed first, then quickly echoed with a smile: "I have already figured out the situation, and I will wait for the instructions of the master."

After a long while, he hung up the phone with a blushing face at the corners of his eyes. Not only was there a joy on his face that was about to fulfill his wish, but he was also full of spring that couldn't be concealed.

Not long after his cell phone hung up, another call rang, ah panicked on his face, he calmed down, and then he connected the phone, listening to He Bin telling him on the other end that he was very busy these days and had nothing to do. Kong'er went to see him, let him settle down, and don't cause trouble at school. Hearing such words, Qiu Yue rolled his eyes. Compared with just now, he was very perfunctory. He always responded casually. .

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Yue raised the corners of his lips ironically, smiled at the phone, and walked briskly, ready to go to the appointment.
