After the first episode of the program was recorded, it entered the post-production period and will be broadcast on the satellite TV station at 9:30 pm on Saturday.
Li Wei has already told his family the news.
After the recording was completed, Zhu Heng also gave department staff two days of leave. After the holiday, he will prepare for the second episode of the program.
During the rare vacation, Li Wei took time to clean up the house, then went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and also bought some vegetables. Even if he lived alone, he wanted to make a delicious meal to reward himself.
As soon as she got home, her cell phone rang. She took it out and took a look. It was Li Jianbo calling. Li Wei answered the call after hesitation.
"Are you busy now?"
"I'm not busy. I have a day off today."
"Really? That's great, let's come out and get together?" Jian Bo invited her over there.
Li Wei looked at the table of bought dishes and said, "Second brother, why don't you come over and I'll cook for you."
The other party readily agreed without any hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Li Wei started to clean up the dishes. It seemed like he had bought too much to eat alone. She hurriedly boiled the ribs and put them in a casserole to start stewing. Then she was busy peeling and cutting the winter melon into pieces. She was going to make the ribs and winter melon soup.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Li Wei hurried to open the door. Jian Bo stood at the door holding a big green watermelon in his hand. Li Wei invited him in.
As soon as he entered the door, Jianbo said, "It smells so good. Are you already busy cooking?"
"Well, we are making soup. Second brother, please be more casual."
Jianbo was never polite when he came to Li Wei's place. He handed the watermelon to Li Wei and asked Li Wei to cut it.
Li Wei hurriedly packed it out, put the cut watermelon pieces in the glass fruit plate and took it out. Seeing that her second brother was sweating profusely, she went over and turned on the electric fan.
"It's so hot today without the sun."
"It would be better if there is sunshine. Now it is called muggy. The weather is really bad."
"Eat some melon to cool down."
She didn't have time to greet her second brother and went back to the kitchen to be busy.
Li Jianbo sat cross-legged on the sofa, gnawing on watermelon, blowing on the fan, and watching TV, living quite comfortably.
Not long after, a piercing scream was heard coming from the kitchen. Jian Bo immediately stood up, threw the melon in his hand, ran over in a hurry, and asked nervously: "What happened?"
"Just now a big mouse jumped across the window sill."
Jian Bo thought the knife had hurt him or burned him. When he heard it was a rat, he said, "This is an old community, and yours is on the third floor. Rats can easily follow the pipes, shelves, etc. outside." Climb up."
Li Wei said: "Your place used to be a villa, but the property has done a good job in eradicating rodents, so these things are rarely seen."
"I thought you were fearless, but I didn't expect you to be afraid of this little mouse."
"It suddenly appeared in front of you, without any precautions."
Jian Bo heard that he smiled and said: "Then I'm here to help, so you can feel at ease for the time being."
Jian Bo helped peel garlic and pick vegetables, as usual. The brother and sister were talking about work. Fragrant food is simmering on the stove, and cicadas are chirping on the treetops outside the window. This is what life should be like.
Someone started cooking, which made it faster. After the soup was stewed, Li Wei hurriedly stir-fried a vegetable, mixed a cold dish, and then it was ready to serve.
"I'm tired of the food in the cafeteria, and the food in the restaurant is all heavy-flavored, so I still prefer the taste of home-cooked food."
"Then second brother should go home and let mom cook a few meals for you to enjoy."
"I would like to..." Jian Bo drank the soup and continued: "But I have to endure her old man's nagging when I go back, so I'd better hide away and be quiet."
Li smiled and said, "Mom is urging me to get married?"
"Why don't you urge me? You are already in your early thirties and you are running for a job. In her eyes, you have already become an older young man."
"I used to think that Mom didn't dare to rush you, so she took advantage of me. It seems that she gave the second brother a few more years of grace. She is really anxious here. Although Mom is a bit nagging, she is not a bad-hearted person. The starting point is OK."
"I don't know. Mom also asked me to introduce you to a blind date, and insisted that I choose a doctor for you. What's so good about being a doctor? He doesn't make much money, he's busy at work, and he's under so much pressure."
This was probably the first time Li Wei heard her second brother criticize her career, and she couldn't help but find it strange.
"Second brother, don't you love your career very much? Why do you say such things again?"
"It's hard for doctors to take care of their families. I still hope you can find someone who takes care of your family. You won't have to work so hard." These are Li Jianbo's sincere words.
Li smiled, but she did not continue.
The potluck was over quickly.
After the meal, Li Wei chatted with Jian Bo.
"Second brother, what are your plans for the future?"
"What plans do I have? I can see the end of this life at a glance. Just live it step by step every day."
It seems that the second brother is determined to be a doctor for the rest of his life, and he does not violate his original intention, which is a good thing.
"Aunt Qi, are you still angry with you?" Li Wei cautiously asked Li Jianbo about this person.
Li Jianbo's mood seemed very calm. He said: "She is just a selfish person, or maybe I will always be a two-year-old child in her heart, so she wants to control everything about me."
"That may be too much."
"Is it too much? You haven't been in contact with her for a long time, so you don't know her well. I think she either treats me as a child or as a subordinate, asking me to obey her absolutely. She has never thought about how to behave well. Be a mother."
Li Wei blurted out: "Auntie, she wanted to, but second brother, you didn't give her such a chance. Second brother, you said I didn't understand her, so second brother, do you really understand her? In your eyes, she is a control Apart from being strong-willed and domineering, do you know anything else about her?"
Li Wei's words made Jianbo speechless for a moment.
"She doesn't let me get involved in her career. I just want it. I can just concentrate on being a doctor and work hard on scientific research. There is nothing wrong with living a normal life. I have the right time here to spend the best ten or twenty years of my life. I have no regrets about dedicating myself to the operating table. Everyone has their own pursuits, and so does you, Weiwei.”
There is a knot between mother and son, and reconciliation is possible only if the two truly open their hearts, and no one else can interfere. Li Wei stopped trying to persuade her second brother.
"Second brother, it's very hard after the surgery. There is no one around to take care of you. You have to take good care of yourself."
"Yeah. Same for you!"
The sky was getting gloomier, the wind was blowing, and it looked like there was going to be a heavy rain soon. Then the rumble of thunder came from far to near.
Li Wei hurriedly closed the window.
"Wei Wei, to save mom from nagging about the two of us, I think it's better for us to get together. This will give us the best of both worlds."
Li Wei heard what Jian Bo said behind her, and she turned back to look at Jian Bo in surprise.
