"Jiang Baiye, are you okay, I'm coming in!" He Yun outside was really worried, as if he might rush in at any time.

Jiang Baiye, who was keen on looking for excitement, was instantly bitten on the tip of his tongue. Fortunately, he slipped away quickly, pinched half of the person's face, and pecked heavily.

"It's all right."

"Why is your voice so dumb again?"

"...Well, I accidentally fell asleep. Of course Lu Lizhi couldn't respond to you. Have you forgotten that he can't talk?"

He Yun and Lu Lizhi were startled at the same time, yes, they almost forgot that he (he) was dumb.

"But I shouted for a long time, why is there no movement over there?" He Yun was cautious, still worried, and looked over there vigilantly.

"He slept like a dead man, not to mention who would steal him away, the flower picker picks him a man?" Saying this, the "flower picker" began to kiss and kiss again arrogantly.

Lu Lizhi's heart was pounding abnormally, especially when the door was kicked open, a tall figure appeared at the door against the moonlight, and Jiang Baiye was still searching for him deeply.

At that moment, the heartbeat suddenly became unbalanced!

But Jiang Baiye had already prepared this move, quickly pulled up the quilt, and acted shocked, "He, Yun!"

He Yun glanced at it, saw nothing unusual, coughed lightly, "Sorry, I thought you were being held hostage, so I don't feel relieved unless I see it with my own eyes."

"Fortunately, it's me. If it were Lu Lizhi, he would wake up very angry, and if you wake him up like this, he would break up with you directly!" Jiang Baiye hummed to express his dissatisfaction.

Lu Lizhi, "..."

He Yun, who was about to go to Lu Lizhi's house to see again, "..." Now I really don't dare to go again.

And he was too worried, because of the many thefts in the He family's mansion, the nursing home arranged by them was still very capable. Night is the time to wake up, so there should be no accidents.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you!" He Yun apologized again, and went out backwards.

There was no light in Jiang Baiye's room, so in the dark, He Yun didn't see an obvious bulge on the bed beside him.

After he closed the door and listened to Jiang Baiye's advice, he didn't go to the next room to check again. The footsteps got farther and farther away, and Lu Lizhi finally let out a foul breath, very annoyed.

This guy is really getting more and more arrogant!

"Is it hot?" Jiang Baiye quickly pulled the quilt off his body, and rescued him from the "silkworm chrysalis".

Lu Lizhi kicked it angrily.

"Hmm!" Jiang Baiye groaned, and fell straight on the bed, gasping for air, "Li Zhi, do you want to be a widow?"

Lu Lizhi was skeptical, waited for a while, saw that he was still suffering, and crawled over.

"Touch it." Jiang Baiye said coquettishly, the light in his eyes was flowing, so touching, "Your hand is the good medicine to heal it."

Lu Lizhi took a deep breath, really wanted to take this opportunity to cripple him, so that he would not have to think about these things all day long, but he also knew that his concentration was already vulnerable, so he immediately turned over and prepared to leave here.

Jiang Baiye quickly hugged him from behind and dragged him back to the bed, "Do you know what the furthest distance in the world is?"

With a rare seriousness, Lu Lizhi listened quietly, "It's just that you are by my side every day, but I can't..."

For the next two words, he leaned over and whispered in people's ears, but it was lingering and affectionate, with a long meaning.

Lu Lizhi was still a little dazed at first, but when he understood what he meant, his face immediately turned red like he was drunk, erratic like never before, his long eyelashes drooped obediently, but he couldn't stop trembling slightly, his heart was so hot,palpitations.

Frightened and happy at the same time, his whole body seemed to be paralyzed, and his waist slumped under his manipulation.

The calloused and rough palms on his waist made him shiver and become numb from the heat, and the skin as tender and smooth as tofu opened and contracted in his hands, Jiang Baiye also felt an indescribable joy.

In the end, he moved back again, fighting against the thin belt around his waist.

Lu Lizhi didn't know whether he wanted to untie it or not, since he could do it with a light tug, just thinking about it was enough to make him intoxicated.

The cold eyes closed and opened again, squinting slightly, moist and dazed.

I don't know how long it has passed, he propped his arms, thinking that nothing happened again.

The belt suddenly fell off, and the waist slackened, followed by a chill behind him...

His breathing was stagnant, he hummed like weeping, the corners of his blushing eyes were wet, and he was filled with endless grievances, and he finally got his way!

Now he is satisfied, if he insists on bullying him like this and prying out his secrets for many years, if he dares to dislike him, he will definitely abolish him without hesitation!

A tear fell down uncontrollably, Lu Lizhi felt a strong sense of loss and gloom, and the strange and frightening emotion engulfed him in an instant...

The slender and beautiful shoulders shrugged slightly, followed by the whole body, the tip of the nose was red, and tears dripped down in strings.

The silent sadness is the ultimate sense of shame, and it is also unwilling to face it. Even so, I still have to force myself to open to him and not back down.

Like a lowly plaything.

More and more wronged and sad.

"Woooo..."

So, how could Jiang Baiye continue, "Li Zhi, what's wrong with you, Li Zhi?"

"Why are you crying so sad?" Jiang Baiye was so heartbroken by his crying, he frantically wiped away his tears, but he couldn't stop crying, biting his lip and whimpering softly, as if desperate and helplesscaged beast.

Jiang Baiye's throat was choked with heartache, and he could hardly utter a word. He hurriedly comforted him with light kisses without a trace of intimacy, and tidied his clothes tremblingly.

"sorry Sorry……"

His Li Zhi still has a lot of psychological pressure on what will happen next, so take your time, you can afford to wait, you can afford to wait for the rest of your life!

Lu Lizhi was immersed in his own world, feeling filthy as hell.

Why, why do people like me...

The sobbing continued for a long time. After he fell asleep, Jiang Baiye went out and fetched a basin of hot water to wipe his face and hands, so as not to make his face wrinkled and uncomfortable when he woke up.

I also applied some balm they bought on the road to prevent dry skin in autumn and winter and maintain moisture.

"Fragrant pears." He chuckled, and the man sobbed slightly in his sleep, which made Jiang Baiye sigh, and sympathetically pulled his sideburn hair for him.

In the early morning of the second day, He Lin sat up from the bed in a jerk, "Quickly, wash me up!"

"Second Young Master, is there anything urgent?" The personal servant hurriedly waited on him.

"Eat hot pot, I must eat hot pot in the morning!" Just now in the dream he was eating hot pot, gorging himself, eating heartily.

He Lin couldn't wait any longer, hurried into Jiang Baiye's yard, shouted, and pushed open the door with a smile.

"Ginger..." The voice stopped abruptly, as if it was squeezed out of the throat.

The scene inside surprised him.

Jiang Baiye and Lu Lizhi, who had just woken up, looked at him in awe.

"Okay, you guys, you guys are so good that you can sleep on your feet!" He said sourly, and when he retreated, he was almost in a state of confusion!

"I'll go. What's the situation, the two of them?"

He dug out some things that were dusty in the depths of his memory, and everything seemed to be a sign that something was wrong...

He Lin leaned on the wall, wondering and unbelievable.

Are you still in a dream?

"We should let him know, so that he doesn't have eyesight to see every day." Jiang Baiye calmly straightened Lu Lizhi's clothes, and went out frankly with his clothes on. In He Lin's wide eyes, he walked into Lu Lizhi's room like no one else.house, took the coat for him and went back.

He Lin swallowed, really, really like that?

Lu Lizhi thought about what happened last night, and wondered if Jiang Baiye had seen it, but he... really lost face!

A big man, crying like that...

Next time, he must take the initiative to show up and get back all his face.

He clenched his fist, and under Jiang Baiye's natural expression, he gradually found himself, and made up his mind that he couldn't wait and hesitate like this anymore.

Next time, it must be next time, what should come will come sooner or later.

That being the case, why make both of them uncomfortable.

After unraveling his knot, Lu Lizhi felt much more comfortable and calm, and took the initiative to dress Jiang Baiye.

Jiang Baiye was a little flattered, but seeing his blushing face and his low eyebrows, he knew why he was embarrassed.

Can he say that he likes his little crying bag, it's so pitiful and cute.

In the morning, Jiang Dazhu and Mrs. He came to He's house.

They had something to do yesterday, so they didn't come immediately, which also shows that Jiang Baiye is not what they care about most.

They had something they cared about, and they didn't give all their energy to him.

Jiang Baiye is naturally happy to see the results. Regardless of past and present lives, he hopes that his parents can live for themselves, have their own hobbies and leisure and relaxation methods, instead of spinning around and worrying about themselves all day long.

It's just that he didn't expect that after the second elder came, he would no longer circle around him, but would greet Lu Lizhi with greetings, as if he hadn't seen him.

Jiang Baiye, "?"

He Yun seems to understand a little bit, Lu Lizhi may be their real son, and Jiang Baiye is the adopted one.

However, He Lin's face was complicated. No matter how you look at it, he looks like he treats the in-laws of the male daughter-in-law, and it's not superficial care, but really treats Lu Lizhi as another son.

How deep is this relationship?

He Lin shuddered when he thought of how the two of them were close to each other in the morning. No wonder Jiang Baiye always took Lu Lizhi away so domineeringly.

When the two of them came, they also brought some special products from the family, which Jiang Baiye usually made at home.

There are sausages that they have always loved, and they have brought them all dried.

There are also dried and preserved fruits made from various fruits picked from the mountains in autumn, as well as tea leaves, and scented tea specially made by Jiang Baiye for his mother..

With Jiang Dazhu's current craftsmanship, it is still very easy to come up with some decent packaging.

And these are novelties that the He family has never seen before.

"You guys are really polite!"

"Everywhere, they are all worthless things. If you like them, let our parents make some for you. The taste is still very good." Jiang Dazhu took the initiative to exchange greetings, even in front of everyone in the He family, he was not too restrained, but the whole person is much more relaxed.

Jiang Baiye looked at his father curiously.

Even the women of the He family didn't expect that Jiang Baiye's parents were out-and-out countrymen. They saw that although he was dressed in plain clothes, he was decent and calm.Their spirits are very good, not a bit worse than those who are pampered every day.

Being able to give birth to Jiang Baiye who is so handsome and tall, the appearance of the couple is not much different, and they eat and drink well and are in a good mood, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like ordinary country people!

He Lin thought of Jiang Dazhu on the flowing water table back then, looked at Jiang Dazhu now, and remembered what Jiang Baiye had said, and was also sincerely happy for his family.

"Clothes make a man, and gold clothes make a Buddha. Sister-in-law, you must have some clothes tailored for you. If you say that you are an official wife, people will believe you!" Mrs. He greeted warmly.

Don't look at her round face, which looks friendly and approachable, in fact, she is the most difficult to get close to, but she quite likes He's straightforward temperament, and she took the initiative to talk to him.

When Jiang Baiye called his parents over, he naturally wanted to make some winter clothes for them.

When they were taken to a separate room and a tailor was invited to make winter clothes for them, Mrs. He couldn't help asking about the marriage of the two children.

"I think they are also old enough to think about this matter."

He scolded the two of them in his heart, "Haha, they have a good relationship, and they both agreed to get married together..."

Don't you want to get married together? He wanted to wipe the cold sweat off his brow with a handkerchief.

"That's a good thing, the two of them get married together, it's the happiest!"

But none of them wanted a bride. When Mrs. He was struggling with how to explain it clearly, a young girl came over with a smile, "Mother, don't be a matchmaker, they may already have a sweetheart."

"That's right, they all have sweethearts!" He Shifu said to his heart.

Mrs. He couldn't help feeling sorry, although she had given up on choosing which one from her own family, but there was still the third family.

"That must be a good man."

"Yeah, great!"

Jiang Dazhu finished his work here, but he had an important business to discuss, so he greeted the He family and left.

Jiang Baiye just asked him to come over for lunch. Neither his parents had ever eaten hot pot, and the two families were lively together.

But it's not good to live in someone else's house all the time. Jiang Baiye and Lu Lizhi have a lot of things to do here, and it's not convenient to go back to the village.

In the morning, Jiang Baiye took his mother and Lu Lizhi, accompanied by He Lin, He Yun, He Butler, and a dentist, to see several vacant houses for sale nearby.

There are all kinds of grades, new and old, Jiang Baiye wants to buy a bigger one, after all, this is his and Li Zhi's first home.

Before coming here, Mrs. He brought all her and Jiang Dazhu's savings, more than three hundred taels, for fear of needing something urgent.

In the end, when I heard that I was going to buy a house, I felt that the three hundred taels might not be enough.

But no matter what, she will take out all the three hundred taels, which is what parents should do!

The first house is not far from the He family, only half a street away.

Mrs. He liked it at the first glance. If it wasn't for the presence of the He family, she would have wanted to touch the pair of stone lions at the door.

This is a decoration only for rich people!

Once upon a time, could their family live in such a house?

The tooth merchant beside him introduced carefully that He Yun had bought a house and gave some suggestions, but they were talking about the orientation of Feng Shui, Jiang Baiye did not expect him to believe this.

However, as far as architecture is concerned, different orientations and layouts will indeed bring people different sensory experiences, affect the mood, and produce different effects in various performances and actions.

As a home, it must be comfortable and bright.

He asked Lu Lizhi, "How is it?"

Lu Lizhi nodded, Jiang Baiye knew that he meant neither liking nor hating it, but it wasn't to the point where he was very satisfied.

Jiang Baiye also felt that it was a bit old, after all, he had lived in it for a generation.

"The seller has moved his whole family and will never come back, so he wants to sell it, but the materials and furniture are still in good condition." The dentist strongly recommends it.

"It's really okay, it's popular, and it's auspicious to live in. How about that family..." Mrs. He asked the dentist, but He Yun knew about this family.

Knowing that this family of four generations is all healthy and successful, and that they have all moved to a better place, the He family is even more satisfied!

But she realized that she couldn't show that she liked it too much, otherwise she would be caught and the price would be difficult to negotiate, so the group went to another place.

The second is a house close to the fish market.

The location is good, and it is very spacious, twice the size of the previous one, but there is always a fishy smell in the air.

Near the port, there is a lot of humidity, and there are all kinds of shouting and selling around, so it is not very clean.

To have such a big house in such a crowded fish market place, the price is naturally not low.

Jiang Baiye's family was not very satisfied, but He Lin was a little bit fancy. When he asked about the price, "Five thousand taels!?"

Don't look at his family's five thousand taels or tens of thousands of taels, but he has to manage around Capital City, and all the family wealth accumulated over several generations has been put in.

Master He even told them to tighten their belts to live, unlike Jiang Baiye, who spends as much as he wants, and is very comfortable.

So He Lin also wants to start his own business, like Jiang Baiye, at least earn himself some money for playing around.

The third place is a house near the official residence. The place is not big, but you can meet various officials when you go out. Jiang Baiye was very excited at first, but he was teased by Lu Lizhi, and he didn't like it.

When Lu Lizhi thought of the Prefecture Governor Yan, he already started to feel the pressure. If he lived here, he might look up and down in the future.

Jiang Baiye doesn't want to make the place where he lives full of all kinds of communication.

Sometimes he made friends out of whim and at will, and sometimes for certain purposes. If he lived here, he would be tired of thinking about how to deal with those officials all day long.

Even He, who has always been aggressive, held his breath unconsciously, because he was afraid of those officials from the bottom of his heart!

Seeing that they were still not very satisfied, the dentist, who was almost drooling, paused, "There is another place farther away, if it is not suitable, we may have to wait for a while, and then there will be a good house, let me introduce you again?"

"Isn't there another place? It's getting late, let's go and have a look in the afternoon." Jiang Baiye gave the tooth dealer a silver coin, "Thank you for your hard work, take it to eat at a bar."

The dentist immediately responded, and left happily.

He Guanjia, who hadn't spoken much, said: "The house near our house, because the owner is in a hurry to move out, maybe the price can be lowered."

He Yun glanced at him, this is an old neighbor, Jiang Baiye is not short of that little money, right?

But in comparison, he must be more helpful to Jiang Baiye, and he also hopes that his family can buy the house, so that it will be much more convenient to talk about things and move around in the future.

Jiang Baiye smiled and said yes, he did have some plans for that house.

"Let's go, let's go back to eat hot pot first, I'm hungry!"

As soon as the words came out, several people present couldn't help but look forward to it. They were a little tired at first, but now they couldn't wait to rush back.

In the small courtyard where Mrs. Da Da lived alone, he was secretly sulking.

It's okay if you haven't eaten hot pot until now, but two days have passed, and Jiang Baiye and Lu Lizhi didn't even come to him specifically.

Have they stopped seeing a doctor?Aren't they in a hurry?

Who is in a hurry now!

When will the hot pot be ready?

When Jiang Baiye and his party returned to the He residence, the servants of the He family were busy, coming and going, as if they were celebrating a new year.

Everyone has a little excitement and curiosity on their faces.

"Master Jiang, the pot you want is here."

Jiang Baiye walked over, quite satisfied with the dozen or so much smaller iron pots.

This was bought temporarily, and there are charcoal pots with a few pieces of charcoal placed one by one, and an iron frame is placed on the top, and the pot is placed on it, and the air flows in from it to achieve the purpose of burning.

If time permits, Jiang Baiye must design a small stove that can adjust the fire temperature at will.

Can only make do with it now.

Everyone was surprised to see it one by one.

"Let's get the bottom material ready first."

Jiang Baiye washed his hands with hot water, wiped them clean, and cut the completely frozen butter hot pot base into squares of equal size.

There are various seasonings such as red pepper, Chinese prickly ash, ginger, etc. He Shi and Jiang Dazhu, who rushed back, smelled it and found it fragrant and spicy, so they wanted to take a bite!

Put a piece of bottom material that big in each pot, and half of it is left, Jiang Baiye will naturally leave it all to the He family, let the servants of the He family wrap it in oil paper, and it can still be stored for a winter.

The servants swallowed secretly, for fear of being embarrassed by accident.

After a while, other people have already set up tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks in the spacious hall, and put three small pots on each table—two butter hot pots, one tomato bottom pot, and all kinds of vegetables and meat have also been cut.Portion on plates and serve.

Then they waited for Jiang Baiye to operate one by one.

Jiang Baiye was funny. After putting the bottom ingredients into each pot, he added an appropriate amount of big bone broth and the milk they found.

That is to say, the kind of milk cubes that are similar to the hot pot base are also imported from other places, and the price is also very expensive, but when added to the hot pot, it is really delicious and fragrant.

At the bottom of the pot, the charcoal firework was slowly burning, and the hot soup quickly boiled.

The red hot pot base material melted and the yellowish white milk cubes, the two colors collided together, and the spicy air drifted and dissipated with the hot smoke, spreading far away.

Anyone who smells it will feel that Tianling Gai is shaking!

"smell good!"

"Hiss, it's so spicy, Gudong..." Swallowing as he approached, seeing the neatly stacked slices of meat and vegetable leaves, he couldn't help it anymore, "Should we pour the vegetables in and eat them?"

"Scald it, rinse it, some time is longer, some can be slightly scalded, everyone can decide to see how much you like." Jiang Baiye introduced patiently.

"Those who don't mind can have a pot together." Jiang Baiye pointed to the tomato pot next to him, "Try the tomato sauce if you can't eat spicy food. If you don't like this one, you can make something else next time."

Everyone was eager to move, just smelling the rich and attractive fragrance, it was hard for them to say they didn't like it.

"I've traveled all over the world for so many years, but I've never heard of this novel way of eating!" Master He San marveled, following Jiang Baiye's example, he picked up a thin piece of tender red mutton and put it into the bubbling spicy pot.

After a while, when it was clipped up, it was so hot that it curled up.

A woman saw it, suspected that she was not very familiar with it, and was still a little concerned, but Master He San put it in his mouth all at once, chewed it, it was soft but not rotten, and it was still very elastic. The most important thing was that it was full of soup, and it was delicious again.Spicy and refreshing!

"Mmmmmmmm!" He nodded his head vigorously to signal everyone, quickly picked up two more slices of mutton with chopsticks and put them in to cook until cooked.

Others don't need him to say it, they can't wait to do it themselves.

There are beef stuffed, shredded bamboo shoots, rubbed meatballs, shrimp slippery made of shrimp meat, bloody duck made of duck blood, crab legs, liver slices, hairy tripe, marinated ribs, all skewered.Xiaojun liver, and even duck intestines and quail eggs that they can't recognize but are addictive after eating.

Longevity dishes, frozen tofu, green bamboo shoots, kelp, potatoes and winter melon slices, all kinds of dishes, piled up the long table to the brim!

Vegetables and meat of various colors and flavors, cooked in a hot pot, dipped in spicy soup, tomato soup, it is simply a feast.

Jiang Baiye naturally pulled Lu Lizhi and his parents to eat one side of the pot, the He family men divided the two sides of the pot, and the women divided the two sides, everyone was just right.

At the beginning, everyone was still very cautious, holding the mentality of trying, but later, they were afraid that they would not be able to catch anything, so they unconsciously accelerated the speed.

Someone who can't eat spicy food tried the tomato pot next to it, and the whole person almost went to heaven.

"Delicious!"

"Sweet and sour, what kind of wonderful fairy taste is this?"

"Can this be eaten? Well, it's so tender and tender, and this one is delicious too!"

There are also those who don't like to eat meat. After taking the first step, there is no turning back.

During the banquet, everyone ate very happily. In the winter, they gathered together in such a warm and harmonious way, surrounded by their children and lovers.

Satisfaction and happiness arise spontaneously!

Even Lu Lizhi felt that Jiang Baiye was in the way, so he wanted to eat it hot by himself. This kind of fun couldn't compare to being hot and feeding it to his mouth.

And he doesn't just like to eat sweet and light food, it's still very interesting to eat some spicy food once in a while.

When he learned how to boil hot pot, he even had the energy to get some for Jiang Dazhu and He Shi.

At this moment, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, except Mrs. Da Da, who came here after smelling the food. Seeing everyone eating with excitement, no one came to inform him.

Like being abandoned by the whole world.

In the past, he would go in absolutely unceremoniously and just eat, but in such a lively atmosphere, he felt a bit of loneliness and loss that didn't fit in.

When he left without looking back, thinking about returning to Beijing after a while, the servant who ran away but disappeared yesterday stood honestly at the door of his house and looked at him.

"Mr. Da, I brought you the burning pot you asked for!"

Mrs. Da Da saw that there were exactly the same three pots as those in the hall, and the amount of vegetables and meat was arranged according to his appetite.

Pot after pot filled his table...
