It wasn't until late autumn that Yeqin hadn't finished eating all kinds of beans he bought from the supermarket next door when he bought the refrigerator.
He only needs a small cup of soymilk each time, and the beans he buys are weighed by the catty. So there are still not enough beans to replace tea with soymilk. In desperation, he had to develop a new use—porridge.
It was quite fresh at first. Soak the beans at night, get up in the morning and throw them into the pressure cooker together with the rice, and they are almost ready to eat when both of them have finished washing.
Ye Qin recently appeared on a health program, and was brainwashed by the nutritionist invited by the program. He firmly believed that fruits and vegetables are of great significance to human beings to maintain a healthy body. He added some spinach, green vegetables and carrots to the bean porridge. The colorful colors increase the appetite, but because there is no added sugar or salt, the taste is too natural.
In other words, it was tasteless, not to mention Ye Qin, who was picky, and someone like Cheng Feichi who didn't pay much attention to food, couldn't bear it even for a month. If it wasn't for Ye Qin's first thing to do when he came back from work every day, was to wash and soak the beans, get up early in the morning to wash and chop vegetables and cook porridge, and study the nutritional combination in different ways, he would rather buy two steamed buns on the side of the road to deal with it.
One morning at the end of November, Yeqin struggled to get out of the warm bed, put on his clothes and went to the kitchen. While yawning, he took out the vegetables he bought yesterday to wash. Before his hands touched the tap water, he was embraced from behind by Cheng Feichi who got up after him: "We won't cook porridge today, let's go out to eat."
Ye Qin thought that Cheng Feichi was tired of eating the porridge he made, and he was listless along the way. He was led by Cheng Feichi to the place. He was still looking at recipes on his mobile phone. He found a walnut red bean pie and thought it was good. Walnuts nourish the brain. It is most suitable for the brother who faces the computer files every day. Looking at the ingredients, he thinks too much sugar is unhealthy. , frowning at a loss.
Cheng Feichi brought him to an ordinary dessert shop, and when a small cake was served, Ye Qin suddenly remembered that today was his birthday.
Regarding birthdays, there are many unforgettable memories between them, half beautiful and half painful. Thinking of cheating Cheng Feichi twice with fake birthdays, Ye Qin became flustered, and his favorite chocolate cake was tasteless, and he sat there with a spoon in his mouth after two mouthfuls.
Cheng Feichi noticed something was wrong with him, and said, "The cake doesn't suit your taste? I see that you prefer light food recently, so you put less sugar."
Yeqin caught the point: "You made this cake?"
"Yeah." Cheng Feichi nodded, "Yesterday I got off work late, and I just had time to make it like this when I rushed here. I kept it in the freezer overnight, and the taste was a bit off."
Ye Qin hurriedly dug a large spoonful into his mouth and said before swallowing, "It's delicious, super delicious."
Cheng Feichi smiled: "Don't force it. If you can't eat it, just put it here and wait for the shop assistant to clean it up. I'll buy you a new one in the evening."
"No, no, I want this." Ye Qin stretched his arms around the cake, like a kitten protecting food, "This is my birthday present, no one is allowed to touch it."
Ye Chin cherishes the cake that has added a layer of love. He savors every bite carefully before swallowing it. He does not forget to lick it off if it sticks to his lips carelessly. Pass.
In the end, only half of it was eaten, and the other half was troubled by the clerk to pack it up and take it away.
Both of them had work today, Cheng Feichi sent Ye Qin to the shooting location, Ye Qin got off the car and said good-bye to him five or six times. Thinking of seeing each other again in a few hours, I wish that the time would pass faster and faster so that I could go home and celebrate my brother's birthday together.
Sitting in front of the mirror in the lounge while putting on makeup, the phone rang in his pocket, and Ye Qin took it out to see that it was a text message from Cheng Feichi's old number: [Touch the other pocket]
The long-lost word "Brother" on the sending column made Ye Qin's throat choke, and he raised his head and took two deep breaths before suppressing the rising tears.
Putting down the phone, he touched the other pocket of the coat hanging on the chair. He first felt slippery plastic paper, and then a round hard object under the plastic paper. When he took it out, Ye Qin was stunned again.
The stylist behind him who was doing his hair saw the thing in his hand and said with a smile, "Lollipop? I saw you are so thin, I thought you don't usually eat snacks."
Yeqin stared at the six identical milk-flavored lollipops, and smiled with his eyes bent: "This is a birthday present, one a year."
After dawdling and eating the last lollipop, the winter in the capital came quietly.
At the end of the year, all walks of life are busy. Zhou Feng is running around in the streets to catch thieves. Liao Yifang gets up early in the morning and prepares lessons for students. Year-end summary sent by various departments.
Compared with them, Ye Qin was the most leisurely one. He finished filming a low-budget literary film, and took on two local TV variety shows. He was only a guest in one of them, and ended the next few commercial performances. , years ago he had no other job.
When people are free, they always want to do something.
Like going back to school to read a book or something.
At the backstage of a certain commercial performance, Ye Qin pulled Song Jue who had the most say in the entrance examination, and asked him if he had any good suggestions. Song Jue blinked and said confusedly: "When I was in school, I just studied and did the questions and then Pass all kinds of exams, brother, how many years have you graduated from high school, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the college entrance examination again?"
The conversation between the two was overheard by He Hansong, who was passing by. He laughed at Ye Qin for daydreaming, missing college in his twenties, and failing to pass the self-examination for adults.
Ye Qin didn't have the same knowledge as him, so he called Liu Yuqing to ask for advice on this matter, and invited her to dinner by the way, thanking her for taking care of him in the film crew.
Liu Yuqing came from a family of performers, and her boyfriend in the stable circle also graduated from the acting department. After listening to Ye Qin's appeal, she called her family very carefully to seek advice. After summarizing, she told him that if she wants to stay in the showbiz in the future, You may wish to try art colleges and universities, the threshold is relatively low, and it will also be helpful for future work.
In the evening, Ye Qin thoroughly read the admission brochure of the Capital Film Academy. With the idea of giving it a try, he took a picture and sent it to Cheng Feichi for review.
In less than three minutes, Cheng Feichi, who was in City S, sent a video call. After connecting, he asked straight to the point: "Missing university?"
Ye Qin nodded a little embarrassedly: "Well, I thought about it a long time ago. I haven't been idle recently. I just studied it and think the direction of acting is quite suitable... It's time for me to learn acting too. I can't play the heroine in my true colors for the rest of my life. brother."
In the past, I was full of thoughts about going to C University. I didn’t think about majors at all, and I didn’t know what I like and what I want. Now I can follow my heart and find my goal. What I lack now is my brother’s certification and support.
Cheng Feichi was a little hesitant, just when Ye Qin thought he felt that his goal was too low, he said: "Working and studying at the same time, it will be very hard to take care of both."
Ye Qin heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What's the hard work? Didn't you also go to school and work at the same time? Since you can, why should I not?"
Infected by his rare self-confidence, Cheng Feichi nodded in agreement, and said that he would help him keep an eye on the admissions information of several similar colleges. It is best for him to visit a few more schools and do more when he has returned to school after graduation for many years. Prepare.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Cheng Feichi was still in the office. After Ye Qin explained, he thoughtfully and sensiblely asked him to continue to work.
Before hanging up the video, Cheng Feichi suddenly stopped him: "Have you ever thought about what to do if you become popular in the future?"
Although I don't know much about the entertainment industry, I can understand from hearsay that those celebrities who can be named in the passers-by, whether they are the powerful faction that relies on acting skills or the idol faction that is popular with fans, are all superficial. The bitterness behind the scenes, filming everywhere throughout the year without a home, everything in life must be exposed under the eyes of everyone, the love life that ordinary people can enjoy to their heart's content is very likely to be a stumbling block to their career development.
Ye Qin was stubborn and didn't understand what Cheng Feichi meant, so he said whatever he thought, patted his chest and said boldly: "When I become popular, brother won't have to work so hard, just stay at home and rest. you."
Cheng Feichi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Okay."
Soon, with the help of friends from all walks of life, Yeqin chose a direction, and began to prepare for the interviews of several colleges and universities in February next year.
At the same time, Cheng Feichi canceled his air ticket back to the capital because of Cheng Xin's serious illness, and temporarily stayed in the hospital in S City to take care of him.
Every winter is the time when Cheng Xin's body is weakest, especially this year, when she was just hospitalized, she fell into a coma for three days and two nights.
In the second week of hospitalization, Cheng Xin barely sat up with the pillows, her hands were still too shaking to hold the tableware, so Cheng Feichi sat by the bed and fed her food spoon by spoon.
Occasionally, when she was sane, Cheng Xin would also talk to him. Mostly she was talking alone, from working hard to showing her face at Yi's house more, and then talking about how good a girl Yan Hong is, why don't you look down on her, say that she is tired, drink two sips of water, and look at the sunshine outside the window for a while, When I looked away, I was mostly confused and couldn't distinguish between the past and the present, and I took his hand and said, "Go to the motherland" or "Go abroad, mother please".
Cheng Feichi was considerate of her weak body and spirit, so he responded with silence.
Occasionally, he would be nervous for no reason. For example, Cheng Feichi had just talked with Ye Qin on the phone this day, and when he entered the ward from the corridor outside, Cheng Xin cheered up, stared at him with wide eyes, and asked him what he was doing.
"Call." Cheng Feichi replied truthfully.
"with who?"
Cheng Feichi poured a glass of water and handed it to her: "Don't you know?"
Cheng Xin immediately sat up from the bed, stared at Cheng Feichi's calm and calm face, and couldn't find a way to intimidate him. In a panic, he caught a glimpse of the ring on Cheng Feichi's hand holding the handle of the cup, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat: "You... what kind of ring is this?"
Seeing that she didn't intend to drink water, Cheng Feichi put the cup on the table beside the hospital bed, and replied, "Wedding ring."
"With whom? Who?" Cheng Xin's voice trembled, and the expression of gnashing of teeth was particularly ferocious against the pale face. "That kid named Ye? I don't agree, mom doesn't agree, you are not allowed to be with him!"
Cheng Feichi didn't speak, picked up the cup lid on the side and covered the teacup to keep warm, lowered his eyes and tucked in the quilt that was thrown off due to the violent movement, Cheng Xin grabbed his hand without making a sound, let her hold it hard, his flesh and blood were pinched Gotta creak.
Cheng Xin went crazy and did not care about the severity of his attack. One accidentally touched the scar on his palm. The scar that has not faded since then is like an insurmountable mountain between the mother and child. The moment Cheng Xin touched it, his expression became even more miserable, and he let go of his hand hastily.
Cheng Feichi withdrew his hand, turned around and walked to the door, picked up his coat and put it on, and said, "I'm leaving first, the doctor asked you to rest more." After a pause for a few seconds, he said, "Someday when you are in a stable mood, I will bring him here to help you." Take a look."
Cheng Xin, who had been sitting there for a long time, finally had a reaction. She curled her lips and snorted coldly, and said, "What are you looking at, don't think that you can please me because you broke a leg. If you want me to admit him, unless I die .”
Cheng Feichi pursed his lips. He had heard the same words before, but this time, they didn't seem to have any effect on him.
In fact, Cheng Xin herself knows better than anyone else, what is the use of her saying "no". In these years, her son has already drifted away from her, like a kite with a broken string, No longer controlled by her.
The son who called her "Mom" when he was a child, relied on her wholeheartedly, and believed that she would never come back.
Cheng Xin suddenly felt tired, slumped down his exhausted body, relaxed the nerves that were about to collapse, opened his aching chest, and took a deep breath.
Her eyes were half closed, and in this short period of less than a minute, she hurriedly reviewed her seemingly thrilling life, but in fact, she couldn't find any adjectives to describe it except dark and ugly.
The picture in front of me turned slower and slower, and finally it was frozen in the summer more than 20 years ago. At that time, she held her graduation certificate and had infinite yearning for the future. At that time, she still believed in the saying that lovers will eventually get married. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to hold tightly in her hands what she wanted and who she wanted.
In a trance, the consciousness peeled off the body and slowly floated into the air, as if split into two completely different people. Two pairs of eyes looked at each other across the air.
The formerly radiant Cheng Xin looked down at the exhausted Cheng Xin who was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes were full of contempt and pity, as if to say—if I were me, I would definitely not be in the same situation as you are now This is the end.
When Cheng Feichi was about to leave, he vaguely heard Cheng Xin's weak and dejected voice coming from behind: "If he could be like you back then...why are you different from him?"
Cheng Feichi stopped in his tracks, turned around after thinking for a while, and said, "Everyone has the right to choose, and also has the obligation to be responsible for his choice to the end. I am not him, and I cannot be like him."
