Chapter 236 Making Soup
Chapter 236 Making Soup
"I didn't understand a word she said, but I was ecstatic. I quickly packed up all my belongings, settled the rent with the landlord, and followed A-Xia. I didn't even know where I was going. As long as I could follow her, I didn't care where I went.
We fled to Haicheng. In that era, the land was full of gold, and we settled down here.
On the way here, Axia told me that her parents contacted Axia and said that her father was seriously ill and asked Axia to go home to see him for the last time. When Axia returned home, she found out that they sold her to the richest man in the village for tens of thousands of yuan in betrothal gifts. - Duan Ye, what are you laughing at again? You don't want your teeth anymore!
The richest man in the village may sound ridiculous, but at that time, he could really decide Axia's life. The nouveau riche was in his forties that year. According to Axia, he had been divorced once, and his face was so wrinkled that it could crush a person to death. His bald head was like a moon, and his belly was as big as half the earth. The money from selling Axia was used as a dowry for her brother to build a big house. Axia was locked in a room and put on wedding clothes. Her family was afraid that she would run away, so they took away her shoes. Axia had been waiting for an opportunity to escape. Finally, when her brother came to bring her food, Axia knocked her brother unconscious, put on her brother's shoes and ran away.
Why aren't you smiling? Duan Ye? Are you angry now? I've said before that you're not even as good as your mother. When she was younger than you, she could knock out her brother, but you always end up with a bruise on your face after a fight, and your brother and I have to pay for your money.
Axia was almost mad at her, and she made a great wish, saying that she would defeat the richest man in the village and become the richest man in the county. After returning to the village, she exchanged the hundred-yuan bills for ghost money and slapped her parents and brother in the face.
Later we arrived at Haicheng. Haicheng is so big. Compared with our hometown, it was like a piece of duckweed floating in the sea. Axia changed her mind again and felt that being the richest man in the county was not impressive enough. She wanted to be the richest man in Haicheng. As a result, the richest man in Haicheng was bankrupted by the aristocratic families headed by the four major families in the past two years. He jumped into the Golden Sea in anger. Axia was very scared and said that being the richest man in the city was still conservative. She wanted to be the richest man in the world..."
Duan Hongji's voice gradually became lower. Duan Chengfang paid attention to his father's expression, but found that the expression on his father's face had disappeared completely since some time.
Their father never told them about these things.
For some reason, Duan Chengfang suddenly felt a great panic in his heart, as if today's conversation was some kind of ominous sign.
Duan Ye frowned: "Old man, why didn't you tell us these things before?"
Duan Hongji paused, lowered his eyes, and said vaguely: "Because... it will be soon."
What's coming soon? What's coming soon?
Duan Chengfang couldn't help but stood up. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a "bang" sound!
Duan Chengfang looked back in surprise, only to see that there was an extra person at the entrance of Duan Ye's room, who knew not when.
Jiang Huiyi opened her eyes, her eyes were red. Under her feet was a cute, chubby thermos. The loud noise just now was the sound of the thermos falling to the ground.
Why is Jiang Huiyi here?
Duan Hongji glanced at Jiang Huiyi, but he didn't lose his temper. He just said calmly, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Huiyi forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I heard from Jizhi that you were injured, so I made some soup to come and see you... I'm sorry for making you dirty... dirty..."
She couldn't say any more, and suddenly covered her mouth, sobbed violently, turned her back and ran out.
The chubby thermos lay on the ground, like a cute mockery.
Duan Chengfang felt uneasy for a moment. Despite the pain of his toes digging into the ground, he stepped forward and picked up the thermos bucket.
The thermos was of good quality and had not been damaged at all. The soup inside had not spilled. Duan Chengfang placed the soup on the bedside table and opened the lid.
A rich aroma filled the room, and the soup in the bucket was clear and fresh, with some precious medicinal herbs and ingredients floating in it. However, the ingredients were cut into uneven sizes and thicknesses, and it was obvious that they were made by a poor chef.
Duan Chengfang had read a lot of medicinal materials and ingredients on medical websites these days, especially those that patients with fractures should eat. He immediately recognized the amount of this pot of soup. He was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Duan Hongji: "Father..."
This thing is really good for Duan Hongji.
Duan Hongji's tone did not fluctuate at all, as if he had never seen Jiang Huiyi before: "Where were we just talking about?"
Duan Ye was anxious about his emotional progress, and hurriedly said: "My mother wants to be the richest person! Hey old man, don't tell me how you two became the richest people. I don't understand it anyway! Didn't you just say that you would teach me how to pursue Zhao and copy her?"
Duan Ye is the youngest child in the Duan family, and he has no memory or feelings for his mother. In his opinion, his mother has been dead for many years, and Duan Hongji has also married a new wife - doesn't this mean that the old man has completely walked out of his memories!
Now that the old man has walked out, everything he said is in the past tense. To Duan Ye, it is just a story without any sense of reality.
No matter how beautiful the memories are, people should look forward. Now that you have moved on, don't dwell on it anymore! The people in front of you are more important.
The love between his parents is touching, but if he had continued to procrastinate, Zhao Ruoming and Huang Maoxiong would probably have finally gotten married!
Duan Chengfang: “…”
He couldn't help but look Duan Ye up and down. He couldn't figure out how Duan Ye, who was so brainless and conscienceless, could make Duan Hongji treat him differently.
Duan Hongji was not angry, but looked at Duan Ye with a very strange look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Duan Ye was puzzled. "The slap marks on my face haven't disappeared yet?"
Duan Hongji suddenly laughed: "You really are the one who least resembles my son."
What kind of description is this? Duan Ye was stunned and said angrily: "Why don't I look like you! Who do you think would want to look like you!"
"You're very good like this." Duan Hongji said, and then suddenly lowered his voice, "She always hoped that I would be such a person. I didn't succeed, but her child did..."
When Duan Ye heard this nonsense, he was shocked: "Old man, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Nothing." Duan Hongji raised his head. "Duan Ye, can you tell me why you didn't do anything when that 'fox' was with the foreigner today?"
Duan Ye thought the question was odd, as if Duan Hongji had seen the scene himself. He attributed it to his father's great imagination.
Duan Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "Of course I wanted to take action. But the moment I took action, I suddenly felt that Zhao...he might not like me taking action."
"Why do you think he wouldn't like it?"
Duan Ye said slowly: "Since I was a child, I have fought with people many times. After the fights, some of the people I beat up distanced themselves from me, while others continued to be friends with me."
But, but.
Dan Ye looked at his father and said, "I didn't care about the things in the past. But this time, I don't want to gamble on this 1 in 2 possibility."
Because Zhao Ruoming is different.
Zhao Ruoming is different from everyone he has met before. For Duan Ye, even the slightest possibility that Zhao Ruoming will distance himself from Duan Ye would be a disaster.
So even though he wanted to smash the Russian guy's noble and handsome face, Duan Ye still put away his fist.
For the first time in his life, Duan Ye learned restraint and tolerance and chose to be a deserter.
Duan Hongji sighed slightly, as if he had made some kind of decision.
"Silly boy." Duan Hongji patted his youngest son's head lovingly, "Okay, I'll tell you what you should do."
Duan Chengfang's eyes had been following Duan Hongji. When he heard this, he suddenly asked, "Dad, haven't you eaten yet? Do you want some soup?"
"No need." Duan Hongji said casually.
The thermos is divided into two layers. The upper layer is filled with a pair of exquisite cups, bowls, spoons and chopsticks. They are a very plain white color with elegant pear blossoms painted on them.
There was only one set of tableware. Duan Chengfang had also seen those photos, so he naturally knew what pear blossoms meant and also understood who it was prepared for.
Duan Chengfang didn't know what to feel. Jiang Huiyi was so humble, but it was a pity that her efforts were in vain.
He was about to close the lid when he heard Duan Hongji say, "Is there tableware? Duan Ye, are you hungry? If you are hungry, go get a bowl."
Duan Ye was never the polite person, and he was indeed a little hungry, so he grabbed the bowl and spoon and served himself a bowl of soup.
Duan Yeniu took a sip of the soup and frowned, "It tastes astringent and a little bitter. It's hard to drink."
"If you don't like it, put it down." Duan Hongji said, "I'll ask Aunt Wu to make you some spicy soup later."
Duan Chengfang heard a sigh from deep in his heart.
My father is still the ruthless father who only cares about the people he wants to care about.
He and Jiang Huiyi are both losers in front of Duan Hongji.
