Chapter 13 Eight Diagrams Original Gua
Lu Beicen turned on the fire, turned on the range hood, waited for the pot to heat up, poured oil, and started cooking.

Amidst the roar of the range hood, Fang Nan quickly sorted out what Lu Beicen said in his mind. After Lu Beicen finished cooking the lettuce, turned off the fire, and then turned off the range hood, he asked: "You mean that Li Jiantao regards you as a high-quality marriage partner, and then Director Wu thinks that his motives are impure. Since he thinks so, it is very likely that he has communicated with your parents as well?"

Lu Beicen handed Fang Nan the light blue disk filled with lettuce, nodded helplessly and said, "I listened to what he said, and thought about it back and forth, isn't that what it means?"

"These are not the key points. Anyway, you have decided to let go, but the key point is your parents. How do you explain it?" Fang Nan said helplessly.

Lu Beicen hesitated for a moment before saying: "If they don't ask, I don't plan to say anything. Anyway, Director Wu has already told them about my transfer, which directly shows my attitude."

"Xiaobei, you... hey, forget it, anyway, your brother is coming back, so I won't persuade you much."

"I know what you're going to say, but I really can't help it. Forget it, let's not talk about it. I went to Xiajiang the day before yesterday. My mother made me a lot of sauced beef and said that I would share half of it with you. .”

"Forget it, I want to eat, so I came to you directly. By the way, how is Mama Yu?"

"It's okay, it's just a little problem, she doesn't say anything, I just smell the plaster on her body."

"Is your mother still angry because Yu's mother gave you money?"

"I don't think she was angry, but she was in conflict. Later, my house was refurbished by her, and her tone seemed to lie flat. Hey, I think my mother insisted on taking me home. It's to find anger for myself, sometimes I feel sorry for her, but in my heart, I can't get around that detour."

Fang Nan watched Lu Beicen wash the pot, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiaobei, maybe I worked three years earlier than you, and I did such a job that saw all the warmth and coldness of the world. Regarding human affairs, I really feel that in such an era and under such circumstances, it is also pitiful. Why don't you try to let go? I am not speaking for your mother, I just think that you always carry a shell like this, too tired……"

Lu Beicen cleaned the cooking pot, and pushed Fang Nan out on the grounds that there was heavy oily smoke.

Looking at Lu Beicen's back, Fang Nan sighed slightly, a little thorny, he couldn't pull it out and couldn't swallow it, it just made people helpless.

Lu Beicen didn't know that if he didn't let go of some things, she would definitely be more than one of the sad ones. Ever since the day her parents brought her home, they had faced her with an attitude of atonement, but those The scars in the past are full of scars, so how can the affluent life in front of us be a gap that can be filled?

Turning on the range hood again, Lu Beicen turned on a low heat in a frying pan, fried fish pieces marinated by her adoptive mother Yu Guoqin, then fried beef with pepper sauce in the wok, and finally washed Fang Nan Beans, stir-fried with olives, and when the two meat and two vegetables were served, the rice was ready, and Chen Ke also came back from the shower.

Standing at the porch, Chen Ke held up the two bags in his hands, and a piece of background music played: "Dong dong dong dong, Xiajiang sauce duck, lychee beer, how about it, are you hungry?"

Fang Nan took the bag and said, "It's been a long time since I ate this Jiang Jiang sauce duck, so let's have a taste of you."

Lu Beicen took the sauced duck to the kitchen to change the knife, heated it in the microwave, and heard Chen Ke say in a loud voice in the dining room: "The point is this lychee beer, okay, this is my little one, specially prepared for you two heroines , let people buy from outside.”

Fang Nan's face was pained: "The shipping fee is more expensive than beer."

"Look at what you said, young master, am I the one who is short of money? As long as you two are happy, it's worth a word." Chen Ke's extremely exaggerated performance successfully brought Fang Nan and Lu Beicen together. Amused.

"But these few cans of lychee beer of yours don't seem to be enough to satisfy us two heroines!" Lu Beicen joked with a smile.

"Don't worry, there are enough drinks. There are two big boxes at home. These are taken out of the refrigerator. Today, eating Xiajiang duck with cold beer is refreshing."

Fang Nan watched Lu Beicen take the sauced duck out of the microwave and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "You said this lychee beer, I remembered an editor in our department, he said that he wanted to save his drinking capacity before, I just bought a bottle of pineapple beer and practiced at home, but after drinking a bottle of pineapple beer, I fell asleep all day..."

Chen Ke laughed and said: "There are such strange people? Is this an alcohol allergy?"

"The key is that there is a follow-up. At that time, a big girl from Shandong in our office stood up and said, hey, Lao Xiao, do you know that the drink we brought with us in elementary school was Tsingtao beer."

Fang Nan was extremely absorbed in learning, which made Lu Beicen and Chen Ke laugh out loud. Chen Ke took out two cans of Lychee Beer and one can of Tsingtao Beer from his bag while laughing, opened the cans, divided the wine, and raised his hand The Tsingtao Beer in the restaurant said: "Come, let's raise a glass to celebrate the three of us, the first family dinner in Victory."

Fang Nan raised his glass and took a sip of the wine before laughing, "I said you have been through senior year in high school, even if you haven't been in college, you should know what a family banquet is. If you eat at your house, you can say the word family banquet." Did you know?"

Chen Ke shook his head disapprovingly: "I don't want to compete with you two, I will come to my house next time, but Xiaobei will be in charge of the spoon, and I can only be responsible for eating. You are welcome, I have no objection."

"You said you are a young master, how can your mother let you fly solo? Are you afraid of starving to death?" Fang Nan ran out.

"My mother heard that there are two class sisters here, and also heard that you two are children of other people's families. She agreed with me to leave the arms of my family with great confidence. When I was about to move, her old man was full of hope. A cheering gesture. I thought to myself at the time, if I dare to move my heart in front of you two, I don’t need to cheer, just add some water and I will immediately understand how the word dead is written.”

Lu Beicen and Fang Nan laughed at the same time. This is the result of being too familiar, and they don't even have the idea of ​​attacking.Drinking and eating food, Chen Ke ate so much that his eyebrows would fly: "Speaking of Xiaobei, the origin of your family should not be underestimated. With your culinary skills, which man dares to marry you will directly face the blessings of middle age and old age." Three highs."

Fang Nan didn't look at her face: "You say you eat delicious food, and it won't delay your broken mouth."

"Okay, okay, I've had three rounds of wine, five tastes, and I'm serious, Mr. Xiaobei, what's going on with you and Li Jiantao? Do you know how many versions I've listened to in our building today? Gossip?"
