Brother Xia's favorite

159 Chapter 6

The meals Fu Jie's mother cooks are indeed a bit crude, and the people in the mountains don't pay much attention to it, so it's fine to fry it casually.Zeng Huan frowned and chewed, feeling that it was a bit hard to swallow. The only two dishes were either too salty or too oily, not to mention that there was no trace of meat.Zeng Huan turned his head and looked at Fu Jie. Fu Jie ate with a calm face, but Zeng Huan knew that Fu Jie's stomach would not be able to take it when he was not fully healed.

Fu Jie's mother smiled at Zeng Huan: "Don't be surprised if you didn't do well."

Zeng Huan tried his best not to say what was in his heart, but the expression on his face was still quite obvious.The younger brother next to him was not happy, and pouted his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't like the taste, go out to eat. Our family is poor, and this is the level."

"Eat your meal." Fu Jie tapped his younger brother with the tip of his chopsticks, "Why are you talking so much?"

The younger brother was even more unhappy, and stared hard at Zeng Huan: "Brother, why are you turning your elbow outward? Who are you helping?"

Fu Jie buried his head and remained silent, Zeng Huan was not only not annoyed, but also felt relieved for a while.Zeng Huan raised his hand and rubbed his younger brother's head with a smile, and boasted proudly: "I'm so handsome, what's wrong with your brother helping me?"

The younger brother puffed up his cheeks and was about to have a seizure.Fu Jie's mother glared at her younger brother, then glanced back and forth between Fu Jie and Zeng Huan's faces in doubt: "You two... do you know each other?"

Fu Jie put the bowl on the table: "I don't know!"

Zeng Huan also smiled and nodded, not exposing Fu Jie's lie: "I just met last night."

Fu Jie breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Fu Jie didn't know how to explain his relationship with Zeng Huan, and he was even more afraid that his mother would ask why Zeng Huan came here.Fu Jie was already notorious in the village, and Fu Jie didn't want to make his family more worried.

Zeng Huan went out alone after eating. Fu Jie didn't ask Zeng Huan where he was going, but Fu Jie's gaze didn't come back until Zeng Huan's figure completely disappeared from sight.Fu Jie's younger siblings left home to go to school. The rich father continued to play cards in the village, and would not return until late at night. There were only Fu Jie and his mother left at home. Fu Jie should be used to it, but he didn't know Why do I panic for a while.

Zeng Huan still didn't come back until it was almost time for dinner.The mother looked at the vegetable leaves in her hand and was a little worried: "Ajie, do you think Xiao Zeng came back to eat? Am I cooking one more dish or making one less?"

Fu Jie suddenly got a little annoyed, and put the cup in his hand heavily on the table: "You don't care what he does, just do as much as he needs to do, and it's just a matter of not coming back to live."

Before Fu Jie finished speaking, Zeng Huan had already opened the courtyard door and walked in. As he walked, he looked at Fu Jie and replied, "Who said I won't come back? Come and help me, don't just stand there and speak ill of me behind my back."

Fu Jie's heart felt at ease all at once, but Fu Jie didn't show it on his face, and snorted disdainfully: "You still know how to come back? Why do you help? I won't help."

"You really don't want to help?" Zeng Huan smiled and pointed to a pile of large and small objects outside, "If you don't help me, just leave it here."

The mother immediately gave Fu Jie a reproachful look, then wiped her hands and greeted him with a gentle smile: "Xiao Zeng, do you want to get something? I'll come and I'll come, just ignore him."

Naturally, Zeng Huan would not ask Fu Jie's mother to help, so he quickly brought in the large packages left outside the yard.Fu Jie reluctantly moved over, looked at the things in Zeng Huan's hand and widened his eyes in surprise: "Did you buy a quilt?"

"Ah." Zeng Huan shook the packing bag, "I just bought four beds, and I really can't take them away. Leave me one bed in your house, and you can figure out the rest."

Fu Jie opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.Zeng Huan threw the quilt in front of Fu Jie, and carried another bag of things into the main room: "I will cook tonight, so let me use the kitchen."

Fu Jie's mother was stunned and followed Zeng Huan after a while.Zeng Huan quickly took out the chicken and spare ribs from his pocket, took the kitchen knife on the chopping board, put it under the faucet, washed it clean, and then chopped happily.

Mother was a little confused: "Xiao Zeng, can you still cook?"

"It's okay." Zeng Huan nodded, "I'll make it in the future. I'm not used to eating other people's cooking. I cook a lot. You all eat with me."

Zeng Huan's attitude didn't look like a guest at all, and his whole body was more at ease than Fu Jie's mother.Mother nodded unconsciously, then rubbed her hands and smiled kindly: "Xiao Zeng, you are quite capable, unlike Ajie, who can do nothing but study."

After the mother finished speaking, her eyes dimmed again: "Our Ajie, we really know how to study, what a pity, ah, what a pity."

Fu Jie, who was buried by his family and just wanted to interrupt, also fell silent. Zeng Huan listened sullenly. After a while, Zeng Huan poured the cut meat into a bowl, and turned his head while washing his hands: "He's pretty good. It's a pity. He will have a better life in the future than before. What are you afraid of?"

Perhaps it was because Zeng Huan's tone was too firm, the mother was inexplicably convinced, and even nodded in agreement with Zeng Huan's words: "You're right, you're right, my Ajie will get better."

Fu Jie pursed his lips and still did not speak, but raised his head and looked towards Zeng Huan.Zeng Huan's gaze softened rarely, he winked at Fu Jie with a smile on his face, and asked Fu Jie with his mouth, right?

Fu Jie quickly turned his face away and didn't dare to look at Zeng Huan again. The fortress in Fu Jie's heart seemed to have cracked a small gap, and a warm feeling flowed into Fu Jie's heart, carrying Zeng Huan's affirmation and persistence.

When that familiar dish was put into Fu Jie's mouth, Fu Jie almost didn't shed tears.For a moment, those past memories kept flashing in Fu Jie's mind, the delicious egg pancakes in the morning, the soft and rotten multigrain porridge, Zeng Huan wearing an apron busy in the kitchen, and resolutely leaving when he slammed the door. Decisive tone.Fu Jie couldn't help turning his face and glanced at Zeng Huan. Zeng Huan noticed it, put down his chopsticks, squeezed Fu Jie's left hand resting on his lap quietly, and then ordered in a low voice: "Eat quickly, eat it all, look at you!" As thin as a rib."

Fu Jie lowered his head so that Zeng Huan could not see his expression clearly, and slowly chewed the food in the bowl.The mother and younger siblings all ate with joy. Aside from Zeng Huan's craftsmanship, since Fu Jie was dismissed from school, just eating meat was enough to make the whole family excited.The younger brother even praised Zeng Huan with a shy face: "Brother, you are quite handsome."

Zeng Huan couldn't help but grinned and laughed heartily. Then his mother laughed, his younger siblings also laughed, and Fu Jie, who had his head down, slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

At night, Fu Jie looked at Zeng Huan making the bed and couldn't help asking: "How did you get so many things back? Why didn't you let me go shopping with you?"

Zeng Huanzai carefully straightened the corners of the quilt, and said in a casual tone: "You have to take care of your injuries, and you can't use your back. I'll tell you to do something. Besides, I found a car to take me When I came back, I only took the small piece from the entrance of the village, and it was not far away."

After Zeng Huan finished speaking, she squinted her eyes and looked back at Fu Jie: "Teacher Fu, are you worried about me?"

Fu Jie turned his head and firmly denied: "No, don't think too much about it."

"If you don't have it, you don't have it." Zeng Huan patted the quilt in a good-tempered manner, "Come here and lie down, take off your coat, if you don't nod, I won't do anything to you."

This time Fu Jie didn't insist anymore, Fu Jie took off his outer clothes slowly under Zeng Huan's burning gaze, then lifted the thick and soft quilt and got in.
