"Mom, let me do it." In the kitchen, Lu Mingfei, who was washing vegetables next to him, saw that Qiao Weini had turned on the gas and started a fire. He was picking up the fish killed on the plate and putting it into the pot. He quickly put down what he was doing to stop him. Got her.
"What's the matter? My child, just come and sit down in the living room. Mom will cook you a delicious meal." Qiao Weini was touched.
This kid must have suffered a lot over the years, judging from his proficiency in the kitchen.
Wash vegetables, scrape scales, and beat eggs, in an orderly manner.
Qiao Weini clearly said she didn't need to help, but she still couldn't defeat Lu Mingfei.
"It's okay, Mom, you can also try my handiwork. My son has grown up, so you should rest first." Lu Mingfei said quickly.
Qiao Weini frowned. Lu Mingfei was indeed a little too positive, "I'm not too old to walk or cook."
"Hey, Mom, I read in a book that if a woman often enters the kitchen, she will develop wrinkles in advance and age faster!" Lu Mingfei quickly took the plate from Qiao Weini's hand, pushed her shoulders and tried to pull her away. launch kitchen,
"Just let your son do this rough work."
Qiao Weini looked at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, "How come I haven't seen this statement before? Do you think my mother is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old?"
"Uh..." Lu Mingfei choked.
"Do you dislike your mother?" Qiao Weini slowly narrowed her eyes. At this moment, she had a vague aura of intimidation.
"No, Mom, how could you have such an idea? Is your son like that?" Lu Mingfei immediately denied it with a serious look on his face.
"Oh? Really?" Qiao Weini picked up the plate again, and then Lu Mingfei pressed her hand down again.
"You damn kid, what do you want to do?" At this moment, Qiao Weini was already sure that Lu Mingfei did it on purpose.
She rolled up her sleeves, "Do you dislike your mother's cooking skills?"
When Lu Mingfei heard this, he cried sadly, "No, Mom, you haven't cooked in years..."
Facing Qiao Weini, who rolled up her sleeves, Lu Mingfei's voice weakened, "Didn't anyone tell you that your cooking needs to be improved..."
Lu Mingfei ate it when he was in the safe haven.
I guess my mother used to be a spoiled mistress, so she didn't have any cooking skills.
She would just show off in front of him.
"Okay, your wings are stiff. You really dislike your mother." Qiao Weini's chest heaved with anger.
To put it nicely, what does it mean that there is room for improvement? He obviously dislikes her poor cooking skills!
She had always wanted to be strong in her life, so she couldn't bear this tone.
"Get out of the way, today I will let you know your mother's true cooking skills!" Qiao Weini grabbed the plate and pushed Lu Mingfei out,
"You are not allowed to enter the kitchen without your mother's permission. Please wait in the living room!"
Bang!
The kitchen door was closed.
The mother is inside and the son is outside.
...
...
A moment later, in the living room, Qiao Weini and Lu Mingfei sat quietly at the dining table, staring at the three dishes and one soup placed on the table without saying anything.
The yellow croaker was fried. Not only was it a little burnt, it was also broken into pieces.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes turned into a mess.
For the green pepper beef, I don’t know if Qiao Weini’s hands were shaking, but she put a little too much soy sauce, but it was still edible.
As for the chicken soup, which looked very attractive, it was a bit salty and bitter.
Lu Mingfei finally understood that Qiao Weini was actually more suitable for cooking dishes that could be heated and eaten.
For example, roast goose, heat it a little in the microwave, then sprinkle some ingredients on it, and it will be delicious.
Qiao Weini looked at the recipe she had made and said solemnly, "Mom was a little too excited tonight. This is not your mother's true level."
"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded seriously, without any intention of moving his chopsticks.
"Also, there seems to be something wrong with the gas stove. It should be because it is too old and the heat is not good." Qiao Weini explained.
"Yeah." What does this have to do with heat? They were all confused, but Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "I'll get a new one tomorrow."
"Also, don't buy this brand of salt in the future. No, don't buy the salt produced by this brand in the future. You have to change to another one. This one is saltier. I obviously only put a little bit in it." Qiao Weini said seriously. Comments.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei said.
Qiao Weini looked at the green pepper beef that was still edible, "If I said that I accidentally poured too much soy sauce, would you believe it?"
"letter."
"Oh." Qiao Weini sighed and gave up the struggle.
"Mom, your cooking skills have actually improved a lot." Lu Mingfei comforted him, because he had tasted darker dishes than what his mother cooked.
"You just didn't have the materials to practice when you were in the safe haven. With your talent, if you practice for two more days, you will be comparable to an excellent chef."
"Yes, yes, it must be like this." Qiao Weini said.
Seeing this, Lu Mingfei quickly changed the topic, "Mom, where is the household registration book? I need to apply for a new certificate. My previous one is gone."
If you don’t have an ID card, you can’t apply for a passport to Japan.
Of course, he can also ask Su Enxi to help.
I just don’t know what Su Enxi and the others are doing.
"Going abroad?" Qiao Weini looked at Lu Mingfei suspiciously, "Going to meet your girlfriends?"
Lu Mingfei, who was drinking water, choked.
Seeing this, Qiao Weini thought of the dragon kings in the haven and couldn't help but ask, "How many girlfriends do you have? Are all the dragon kings?"
Qiao Weini was greatly shocked when she saw so many Dragon Kings.
Although she felt that her son must be outstanding and there must be girls chasing him, but that was limited to the human category.
What's going on with all the Dragon Kings?
As a mother, Qiao Weini was very happy that Lu Mingfei was able to get a girlfriend. However, thinking that those so-called girlfriends were all Dragon Kings, Qiao Weini couldn't help but worry about Lu Mingfei, "Mingfei, you have to handle it well." If they are unhappy, it will be a disaster for mankind."
"If you ask me, a human would be more suitable for you." Qiao Weini said worriedly.
If the other person is a human and her son is bullied, she can still seek justice.
But if the opponent is the Dragon King...
Seeing the worried Qiao Weini, Lu Mingfei quickly changed the subject, "Mom, do you want to join Kassel?"
When he found Qiao Weini at Binhai Primary School, he saw the employment letter from Cassel inviting Qiao Weini.
"Ange invited me some time ago," said Jovini.
She stayed in Binhai for a year. During this year, she thought a lot. If possible, she wished she had never left.
If she had not abandoned Lu Mingfei, if she had been firmer, maybe her son would not have suffered so much.
You won't be tortured by so much pain and despair.
But even so, he still traveled thousands of miles to find her, carrying all the pain on his back.
Thinking of these, Qiao Weini's eyes were filled with mist.
She is not a good mother.
When Lu Mingfei saw Qiao Weini like this, he immediately panicked, "Mom, I'm sorry, I have to do this for dad."
He thought Qiao Weini was sad because of Lu Lincheng's death.
On the contrary, when Qiao Weini heard this, the fog in her eyes immediately disappeared, and a flash of disgust flashed, "He is not your father!"
"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was stunned when he heard this.
Qiao Weini looked at Lu Mingfei, "When I gave birth to you, in order to observe you and collect information about you, your father...Lu Lincheng pretended to get the certificate with me."
"Our mission is to collect data on your growth process, observe your mood swings, and observe your differences."
"So in order to give you a perfect family and better collect data, Lulincheng asked me to get the certificate. We didn't even hold a wedding."
"It is precisely because of the results of research during this period that he is qualified to be the secretary-general of Haven."
"When he was informed of the situation, he left without hesitation with the information he had collected."
And once he went there, he missed Lu Mingfei's childhood.
"Ah... So that's it..." Lu Mingfei fell silent after hearing this.
He couldn't be said to be sad or sad, but suddenly felt lost and relieved.
"So, you don't have to blame yourself. Lu Lincheng has changed. It's not your fault." Qiao Weini rubbed Lu Mingfei's head and said.
While the two were talking, the door was opened.
"Auntie, are you there?" Lu Mingfei's slightly familiar voice sounded, and then a girl opened the door and walked in.
The girl was wearing a white casual suit and a baseball cap, and she was holding vegetables in her hand, which she seemed to have just bought at the market.
She seemed to come to visit often, and she put on slippers and walked in familiarly.
Lu Mingfei raised his head and met the girl's eyes. He couldn't help showing surprise on his face, "Su Xiaoqiang? Why are you at my house?!"
You know, this is Lu Mingfei's former home, not his aunt's home in the community.
When Su Xiaoqiang saw Lu Mingfei, her expression was shocked and a little unbelievable. Then her pupils rippled, as if mist was rising.
Su Xiaoqiang couldn't tell whether he was shocked, happy, or excited.
She just felt a strong urge to confirm whether the boy in front of her was real.
The moment she saw Lu Mingfei, she felt an unspeakable complex sadness in her heart.
The sadness almost filled her eyes, making her unable to help but want to hug the boy.
This boy's face has lost its greenness, but he has become more manly, with a unique charm.
In the end, she suppressed the impulse welling up in her heart and tried to keep her emotions calm.
"I bought groceries." She said, her voice trembling and uncontrollably hoarse.
For a long time, Su Xiaoqiang would send messages to Lu Mingfei every once in a while.
The news was so ordinary that it was unnecessary, nothing more than talking about school, clubs, and her father starting to take her to various banquets and introduce her to various people.
Whose son is pretty good, and he graduated from Stanford or Louis Washington University.
Introduce her to those highly educated returnees from overseas, and introduce her to the proud students from the top prestigious universities in the country.
She didn't like that, and she didn't like participating in various parties.
On such occasions, it seems that everyone puts on a false mask.
Until almost a year and a half ago, after meeting Lu Mingfei in the hospital, he never showed up again.
The messages she sent to Lu Mingfei no longer received any reply.
Lu Mingfei's profile picture on QQ also went completely dark and never lit up again.
Lu Mingfei seemed to have disappeared, disappeared from her life.
Even the little connection they had was broken.
Su Xiaoqiang also knew that she and Lu Mingfei were not from the same world.
He is not the same as her, and the distance between them will only grow farther and farther.
Sooner or later they will become strangers, just like Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang, the bright star of Shilan Middle School, disappeared completely after he went to Kassel. Almost no one knew what he was doing.
They were like stars that once shone brightly, but were suddenly submerged in the brilliance of stars and disappeared.
Su Xiaoqiang probably knew that Lu Mingfei would never pay attention to her again, just like Chu Zihang who went to Kassel.
They all have their own wonderful lives.
They are all struggling on the other side of the world.
She was lucky enough to see and experience such a world.
That is indeed not a world that ordinary people like her can touch.
In fact, she was very sad when Lu Mingfei opened his golden eyes to her on that rainy night.
She had known this day would come.
But it's still sad.
But she respects Lu Mingfei's choice.
Until a year ago, a bright light erupted over Siberia and enveloped the entire world.
The news said that it was because the meteorite exploded over Siberia, causing magnetic field chaos, which then caused instability in the ionosphere, causing the light produced by the meteorite explosion to spread unprecedentedly, and many other arguments.
Su Xiaoqiang knew that everything in the news was bullshit.
It must have been caused by a supernatural force.
Just like the heavy rain that lasted for half a month in Binhai.
During that long period of time, the whole world was talking about the vision that affected the entire world.
Watching the news reports and discussions on the forum every day, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly felt a little scared and worried about Lu Mingfei.
Will it be okay if Lu Mingfei is a hero every day?
This vision can save the world!
It has nothing to do with Lu Mingfei, right?
At that time, she had not contacted Lu Mingfei for a long time, but after looking at the news and discussions on the forum, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but send a message to Lu Mingfei, asking if he was still there and if he was dead.
If Lu Mingfei saw it, he would definitely reply to her, "You're the one who died, you crow's mouth."
However, she didn't get any reply.
She just wanted to know if Lu Mingfei was okay.
But Lu Mingfei seemed to be really dead.
She finally asked Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang responded to her for the first time, saying, "Go and give him a flower."
Lu Mingfei's funeral was very low-key, but many people came one after another.
At Lu Mingfei's funeral, Su Xiaoqiang saw the woman crying profusely.
That woman's name is Qiao Weini, and she is Lu Mingfei's mother.
At the funeral, Su Xiaoqiang felt strong sadness and sadness, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
It turns out that farewell was really the last time they saw each other.
Jovini moved to her hometown in the countryside.
For a long period of time, because of her son's departure, she was in a state of confusion. She looked increasingly haggard and did not think about food or food.
Qiao Weini's cooking skills don't seem to be very good, and she basically doesn't cook much.
So whenever Su Xiaoqiang has time, he will come to see Qiao Weini and cook a meal.
If I don’t have time, I will also bring some home-cooked lunch boxes for Qiao Weini.
As time passed, Su Xiaoqiang became accustomed to running to Qiao Weini.
Although Qiao Weini said many times that Su Xiaoqiang would not have to go to such trouble, Su Xiaoqiang still came whenever she was free.
Slowly, Su Xiaoqiang watched Qiao Weini get better. She seemed to have found a job, and the place of work seemed to be abroad.
Su Xiaoqiang was happy about this, so she came here early today.
However, I didn't expect to see Lu Mingfei, whom everyone thought was dead, here.
Su Xiaoqiang tried hard to suppress the strong emotions in her heart, walked into the kitchen calmly, and quickly prepared the dishes and brought them out.
At the dinner table, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang stared at each other with big eyes.
"What are you looking at? Are there flowers on my face?" Seeing Lu Mingfei staring at him from time to time, Su Xiaoqiang frowned and finally couldn't help asking.
"No, is this how you and my mother met?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask after listening to Qiao Weini's brief introduction.
"Otherwise?" Su Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes, "Don't stare at a girl like that. People who don't know will make people think you are a gangster."
"Have you ever seen a gangster as promising as me?" Lu Mingfei was a little unconvinced.
"Oh." Su Xiaoqiang replied calmly and took a bite of rice.
"Hey, what do you mean by this?" Lu Mingfei said with a dark face, "Aren't you being too perfunctory?"
"Oh, I've seen it now." After Su Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he put down the bowl, "I'm full. You guys eat slowly. I'm going back. I still have a lot of things to do."
"Why did Su Xiaoqiang go back so quickly? It's hard to see him again!" Lu Mingfei said.
"Oh, then do you have anything to say to me, Lu Xiaoxiao?" Su Xiaoqiang turned back and looked at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei: "???"
"What?" Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang in confusion, "Why did I become a puppy?"
"You know it yourself, hum!" Su Xiaoqiang snorted heavily, stood up and walked out.
She walked very quickly, and by the time Qiao Weini made a call to persuade her to stay, she was already out of the door.
Bang.
Su Xiaoqiang got into the Audi parked outside the door and closed the door heavily.
She didn't start the car immediately, but quietly sat in the driver's seat and flipped through the notepad she took out of the storage box.
Tucked between the pages of the notepad is a maple leaf that has become dehydrated and dried.
The maple leaf was so dry that it looked like it would break if touched. The texture on it had long since died, and it was no longer as beautiful as it once was.
But Su Xiaoqiang still kept it carefully, for fear of accidentally breaking it.
That was the first and last gift Lu Mingfei ever gave her.
Next to the maple leaf, there are a few lines of small words marked.
[Lu Mingfei is a piece of shit, no one would give leaves as gifts. 】
[This dog actually wants to hypnotize me again. I knew he was born as a puppy! 】
[So sad, what should I do? 】
[He ignored me]
[It turns out that he doesn’t ignore me anymore, it’s that he can’t ignore me anymore]
[Be a good hero, don’t you know that all heroes die miserably in the end? 】
Su Xiaoqiang picked up the pen, but paused for a moment.
She didn't know what to write, but she felt that she was feeling happy and sad at the same time. The tears that had been suppressed in her eyes could not stop falling on the notepad, making the pages wet and drying up the notepad. The maple leaves are wet.
