After checking the recipe for more than ten minutes, Wen Jianing himself felt that it was impossible not to go out, so he had to bite the bullet and go out from the bathroom.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, the old lady followed.
Wen Jianing accidentally turned his head and saw that Mrs. Lu's burnt Xiaojuan's head was leaning forward, as if the family had raised a VIP after not knowing what to do, and she would follow him wherever she went.
Fortunately, the fish still had the scales scraped and cut, otherwise Wen Jianing would have to lock himself in the bathroom until Lu Jinlang came back.
Pour oil into the pot, and when he was about to start the fire, Wen Jianing suddenly remembered that the onion, ginger and garlic had not been prepared yet. The recipe he read was braised crucian carp. If he followed the recipe, he had to prepare red peppers.
He was afraid that he wouldn't have time to cut the ginger and garlic while the oil was heating up, so he quickly retracted his hand and went to open the refrigerator to look for peppers and green onions. He remembered that ginger and garlic were placed in the cupboard below, etc. , and little peppers
Wen Jianing was sweating.
From the beginning, Mrs. Lu was full of anticipation, but later she saw him walking around like a headless fly, and her expression gradually became worried. She thought that this child is probably not that good at cooking, what will happen to the two of them in the future? But it seems that the third child knows how to cook, and they don't worry about money. It's fine to invite someone to do it. This is not a big problem. hungry.
Thinking like this, the old lady was relieved again. The only thing that still troubled her was that they had no children.
After Wen Jianing clumsily cut the ingredients, he turned on the fire and heated the oil pan. He raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his face.
The old lady thinks that this child is not easy, at least she really wants to cook her a meal to eat, even if it doesn't, what does it matter? And this is Xiao Zongyan, her favorite prince, even wearing a T-shirt and jeans, doesn't seem to detract from his demeanor at all! So that little pink bubble couldn't help but pop up.
While Wen Jianing was concentrating on the oil in the pot, there was a sound of the door opening.
The two people in the kitchen turned to look outside at the same time.
Wen Jianing still endured not to go out to meet Lu Jinlang, while the old lady was already walking towards the outside door while shouting "The third child?"
Lu Jinlang came back earlier than Wen Jianing expected. As soon as he entered the door, he said to his mother, "Mom? What are you doing here?"
The old lady was a little hurt, "see you."
Lu Jinlang didn't say anything, changed his shoes and walked directly to the kitchen.
Wen Jianing looked at him eagerly.
Lu Jinlang came over to take the spatula in his hand and said, "I'll come, you can sit with my mother for a while."
Wen Jianing was still a little hesitant, and winked at Lu Jinlang, wondering if it would be bad.
Lu Jinlang put a hand on his shoulder and pushed him gently, "Go ahead."
Wen Jianing breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the living room and sat down with the old lady, then stood up and said, "I'll pour some hot water for you."
The old lady said, "No need," reached out and grabbed his hand, "Sit down for a while."
There was a brief silence between the two.
Wen Jianing was waiting for the old man to speak. In this relationship, he felt that the other party must have something to say to him.
But Mrs. Lu rarely sits down with people so seriously, and she is not used to posing as an elder to lecture young people. She thought in her heart that the two of them were not yet familiar with each other, so it was not good to have nothing to say so face-to-face. In the future, she would often ask him to come over to the house, and the whole family would gather together.
Wen Jianing saw that she didn't speak, so he opened his mouth, swallowed the word aunt, and changed it to "Xiao He".
The old lady suddenly smiled and waited for his next words.
Wen Jianing said, "I like Lu Jinlang very much, and I want to be with him all the time."
Hearing that Wen Jianing was talking about such a serious topic, the old lady's smile faded slightly. She sighed and said, "I know." This kind of intense emotion that she wanted to put everything aside and be with that person, she was young I've been through it all the time, and I don't regret it.
Wen Jianing said: "So I hope you can agree. After all, you are his family and the most important people to him."
The old lady asked him, "What about your family?"
Wen Jianing thought of Wen Cuilan and Ke Xinfan, but replied, "My parents have passed away, and my eldest brother is out of town. He already knows and has no objection."
The old lady nodded, "Your eldest brother is more human." She was saying that Lu Jinfeng was not human.
Wen Jianing knew that Brother Lu Jinlang did not agree with them, so he said to the old lady, "I will visit Brother Lu in person."
The old lady said, "When the eldest comes back, you can come back for dinner with the eldest third, and I will talk about him then."
Wen Jianing was a little surprised that Mrs. Lu was so good at talking, and she was somewhat emotional for a while, and shouted again: "Xiao He."
Hearing the words, the old lady reached out and grabbed his hand. She said, "It's fine if you don't have children. As long as you stay together, it's better than anything else."
When I was young, I chose to marry my husband, not to have children, but to be with him. Of course, she would be reluctant to have children now, but at that time, even if there were no children, as long as the two of them could grow old, she would be willing.
Until now, the old lady can't help but feel sad when she thinks of her husband who passed away early.
Moreover, the child in front of her is more than ten years younger than her son. If Lu Jinlang left earlier than him in the future, wouldn't it be more pitiful for him to be left alone? Thinking of this, the old lady suddenly began to pity Wen Jianing, she grabbed Wen Jianing's hand with one hand, and patted the back of his hand repeatedly with the other, and said, "Since we are together, we must be two of them. All fine."
Wen Jianing nodded.
Lu Jinlang cooked three dishes, one soup, and it was a little late when it was put on the table.
The three of them sat in front of the dining table for dinner, and the old lady kept serving Wen Jianing more than her own son.
Lu Jinlang was a little puzzled, and asked Wen Jianing, "Did you give my mother ecstasy soup?"
Wen Jianing's face was blank, he didn't know what he said, why the old lady of the Lu family suddenly became better than his own mother to him.
After dinner, Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing drove her home together.
The old lady said, "When the boss comes back next week, I'll ask my sister-in-law to prepare it. The two of you come back for dinner."
Lu Jinlang said, "I'll tell my eldest brother first, I'm afraid he will lose his temper."
The old lady said: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyue will be back next week. He is in a good mood and will not lose his temper."
"Xiaoyue is back?" Lu Jinlang asked.
The old lady looked very happy, "Yes, Xiaoyue came back and said she would leave after the New Year."
Xiaoyue is the precious daughter of Lu Jinfeng's husband and wife, her name is Lu Yanyue, and she is studying in Australia.
Hearing this, Lu Jinlang said, "That's good. Get ready when the time comes. I'll go back with Xinhang."
The old lady nodded again and again, "Well, if your elder brother dares to scold people, I will scold him with Xiaoyue."
Lu Jinlang smiled and glanced at Wen Jianing, "I thank your old family for Xinhang."
Wen Jianing also smiled, "Thank you, Xiao He."
The old lady said, "Thank you, just live a good life, and come back to see me often in the future."
They drove Mrs. Lu back and went back directly.
On the way back, Lu Jinlang asked Wen Jianing, "How is my mother?"
Wen Jianing smiled and said, "Very good, I have never seen such an interesting mother."
Lu Jinlang said while driving: "She has always been like that. When I was in middle school, I thought she was crazy for a while, and I was embarrassed to ask her to hold a parent-teacher conference for me, and kept asking my elder brother to go."
Wen Jianing said: "She will be sad when she finds out."
"Yeah," Lu Jinlang looked ahead, "so don't let her know."
Speaking of this, Lu Jinlang remembered something and asked Wen Jianing, "Where's your mother? Do you want to go see her?"
Wen Jianing tilted his head back, leaned back in the chair, and said, "I've seen her several times."
"But you didn't tell her," Lu Jinlang was somewhat incomprehensible, because in his opinion, Wen Cuilan was Wen Jianing's closest person.
Wen Jianing said softly, "Yeah, I don't have that courage."
Lu Jinlang didn't ask him why.
After a while, Wen Jianing said to himself: "I wanted to say something very much at first, but I was afraid that she would not believe it and that she would be regarded as a lunatic, but later I saw that she was living a good life in her current family. There is some hesitation, afraid that it will have any impact on her, and I don't know if she still needs me."
Lu Jinlang said, "As a mother, she definitely needs you."
Wen Jianing turned to look at him.
Lu Jinlang took his hand and said, "You can find a suitable opportunity to tell her."
Wen Jianing was still hesitant, "I'm afraid she won't agree with us."
Lu Jinlang said, "She will agree. She has experienced the pain of losing you, and she will realize that as long as you live well, it is more important than anything else."
Wen Jianing understood what Lu Jinlang meant, he nodded and replied softly, "En."
Three days later, Lu Jinlang and Tan Yangxi visited Li Xing in person.
The arrival of Lu Jinlang was really a big battle, because even Bai Shengzhe went down to the first floor to greet him, and Wen Jianing and the others naturally accompanied Bai Shengzhe down.
The top and bottom of the company crowded out to watch the fun, wanting to witness the demeanor of the big actor. But they still don't know that the person in front of them is one of the real big bosses behind the scenes of Li Xing.
Bai Shengzhe shook hands with Lu Jinlang and Tan Yangxi, and invited them to the reception room upstairs. Wen Jianing, Wen Lin, and Yi Nan naturally wanted to accompany them, and Zheng Xin and Wen Tinghuan were also present.
Lu Jinlang and Bai Shengzhe had a tacit understanding, and they didn't have much polite words, so they said straight to the point: "Today I want to invite an artist from Lexing to sing the theme song for my movie."
Bai Shengzhe smiled and said, "Welcome."
The conversation that followed was mainly about the content of the movie and the theme of music. Lu Jinlang made it clear that Tan Yangxi would be the producer.
Wen Lin obviously showed great interest in Tan Yangxi as a producer.
There is a recording studio inside the company. Wen Lin and Yi Nan auditioned the sound respectively. After Lu Jinlang and Tan Yangxi heard it, they did not make an immediate decision.
Anyway, the initial cooperation intention is set.
When sending them away, Wen Jianing turned his head to talk to Lu Jinlang and the others and walked outside, but someone passed by and almost bumped into them.
Lu Jinlang grabbed him, put his arms around his waist, and said, "Look at the road."
Tan Yangxi followed behind them and smiled.
Although they didn't make the original decision, both Lu Jinlang and Tan Yangxi were more inclined towards Wen Lin, because Yi Nan seemed a little careless.
"The same song, different people sing in different styles, even if it's not what you imagined at the beginning, but maybe it will get other resonances," Tan Yangxi said to Lu Jinlang.
Lu Jinlang understood Tan Yangxi's words.
But that night, when Wen Jianing went back to ask him, he refused to say anything, only said that he was still thinking about it.
Seeing Lu Jinlang cutting vegetables in the kitchen, Wen Jianing walked over and hugged his waist from behind.
Lu Jinlang only said one sentence: "Be careful." He didn't look back.
Wen Jianing put his face on his shoulder, and saw that he didn't respond after a moment of silence, so he touched his lower abdomen with one hand.
Lu Jinlang grabbed his hand and said, "Don't want to eat anymore?"
Wen Jianing moved his waist lightly and pressed close to him, and said, "Don't eat it."
Lu Jinlang put the kitchen knife aside, grabbed his hand and suddenly pulled him to him, hugging his waist and making him sit on the cutting board.
Wen Jianing said suddenly: "Alas! Don't want the dishes?"
Lu Jinlang said, "Didn't you stop eating?" He put his hands on Wen Jianing's side and surrounded him in front of him, "Did you want Wen Lin to sing the theme song?"
Wen Jianing didn't answer, and looked at him with his legs dangling.
Lu Jinlang said, "Let Wen Lin and Yi Nan sing together."
Wen Jianing simply replied, "Yes."
Lu Jinlang looked at him for a while and said, "Why do you take care of Wen Lin so much?"
Wen Jianing thought for a while, "When you get older, it's easy to soften your heart."
He said such words with such a young and energetic face, which made Lu Jinlang laugh and said, "You can't take care of him for the rest of your life, even if he is your son, you will one day let him go on his own. ."
Wen Jianing said: "Then you also protect me like this. Sometimes I feel that my head is empty. Anyway, I can leave everything to you."
Lu Jinlang looked directly into his eyes, "I'm different, I want to take care of you for the rest of my life."
Wen Jianing was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and hugged Lu Jinlang.
Lu Jinlang kissed his lips and held his waist with one hand.
Wen Jianing wrapped his arms around his neck and raised his legs around his waist.
In the end, the singing of the theme song was decided by Wen Lin and Wen Jianing. This is not the first time that the two have collaborated. The TV theme song of "Cha Feng Qi Yuan" was also sung jointly by the two of them.
This was not a big deal at first, but I didn't expect that as soon as the news spread, it caused a reaction from some people on the Internet, saying that the Xiao brothers cooperated again. Anyway, no matter what the original intention is, as long as it can attract attention on the Internet, it is a successful promotion for the movie.
And a week passed quickly. During this period, Mrs. Lu called to say that the time for Lu Yanyue's return had been set, and she came home on the same day as her father. She was ready to let the nanny at home be a big one. Table dishes, the whole family should get together.
It was agreed at the beginning of the meal that Lu Jinlang would definitely take Wen Jianing back.
Wen Jianing was a little nervous, even if he was put on stage to face an audience of tens of thousands of people, he might not be so nervous. In order to prepare the Lu family's dinner, he even went out to blow his hair, and asked Wen Tinghuan to accompany him to buy a set of clothes.
Clothes should not be too formal, nor too casual.
Wen Tinghuan accompanies him to try on clothes and teases him: "The ugly daughter-in-law must see her parents-in-law eventually, why are you nervous?"
Wen Jianing said: "I'm not afraid of his mother, I'm afraid of his big brother."
Wen Tinghuan didn't know the details of Lu Jinlang's family, so she asked, "His eldest brother is very powerful?"
Wen Jianing whispered the words "Lu Jinfeng" in Wen Tinghuan's ear.
Wen Tinghuan opened her mouth in surprise, "It's not easy to deal with, that person will definitely oppose you?"
This is almost certain without thinking, so Wen Jianing told himself to be more calm, no matter what attitude Lu Jinfeng had, he couldn't show a guilty conscience, even if he had to act.
Later, he put on a loose light-colored sweater over his shirt and light blue slacks. He deliberately blew his hair down to make himself look young and well-behaved, like a simple college student. Lu Jinfeng was embarrassed to make things difficult for him.
For this reason, Wen Tinghuan scolded him with contempt for pretending to be tender.
It doesn't matter if you pretend to be tender or not, as long as Wen Jianing achieves his goal.
When Lu Jinlang drove back to pick him up that night, he couldn't help laughing when he saw his appearance, "I'll feel a sense of guilt when you look like this."
Wen Jianing said: "Very good, it's better to make your elder brother feel guilty too."
Lu Jinlang said with a smile, "You can carry another backpack and wear a pair of black-rimmed glasses. My elder brother will probably think that I have found a middle school student."
Wen Jianing also laughed when he heard the words, reached out and pulled down the mirror to take a look.
Before going to Lu's house, he bought a fruit basket and brought a bottle of red wine as a gift.
Lu Jinlang parked the car, got out of the car and walked towards the gate of the Lu family villa together.
Wen Jianing held the red wine, while Lu Jinlang helped him carry the fruit basket.
There were still a few meters away from the gate, and Tong Tong looked out from the gate to see them, so he ran out of the house and ran in the direction of Wen Jianing.
Wen Jianing quickly took the red wine away, afraid of hitting his head.
Tongtong ran to Wen Jianing and hugged his leg.
Lu Jinlang reached out and asked Wen Jianing to hand him the red wine, then Wen Jianing picked up Tongtong and kissed his face.
There was another young girl who followed Tongtong out. It was Lu Yanyue, the daughter of Brother Lu Jinlang who had just returned home in the morning.
Unlike Wen Jianing who deliberately dressed herself up like a student, Lu Yanyue, who was originally a student, dressed up very maturely, with heavy makeup on her face.
Lu Yanyue looked at Wen Jianing strangely. In addition to taking classes abroad, she likes to have fun outside. Otherwise, she travels all over the world. She has never paid attention to the domestic entertainment circle, and she doesn't surf the Internet much. She doesn't know Wen Jianing. She didn't know that her third uncle found a young gay man. At this time, she called out to her mother curiously, "Mom! Who is that?"
Kang Huanxian came over to see Wen Jianing and sighed helplessly.
Kang Huanxian knew that the old lady called someone today, and she was not allowed to notify Lu Jinfeng in advance. In this matter, as Lu Jinlang's sister-in-law, she naturally stood on the same side as her husband and did not agree. But she has always been a docile woman, and she can't make up her mind at ordinary times. Her husband listens to her husband when she is there, and listens to her mother-in-law when her husband is gone. Now that the old woman is determined, Kang Huanxian has no choice but to prepare dinner with her.
Lu Yanyue hadn't figured out the situation yet.
Lu Jinlang had already walked to the door of the house and greeted her with a smile: "Xiaoyue."
"Third Uncle!" Lu Yanyue still knew that Lu Jinlang was a big star, and she had a good relationship with her two uncles since she was a child.
Lu Jinlang touched her head, "I've grown up."
Lu Yanyue went out after graduating from high school, and seldom came back in recent years. In Lu Jinlang's memory, she was still a simple little girl, and it was difficult to overlap with the girl in short skirts, boots and heavy makeup today.
Hearing Lu Jinlang say this, Lu Yanyue smiled and held his hand, "Uncle Third, you are not old, you are getting more and more handsome."
Lu Jinlang smiled.
Lu Yanyue looked at Wen Jianing, "Don't you want to introduce me?"
Lu Jinlang put aside all the things he bought, stretched out his hand to Wen Jianing, intertwined his fingers, and said to Lu Yanyue, "My love."
Lu Yanyue widened her eyes and looked at them in disbelief. After a while, she said, "Cool! Third Uncle, did you find a boy younger than me to fall in love?"
Lu Jinlang said, "He is no younger than you."
Lu Yanyue looked at Wen Jianing suspiciously, but other emotions soon prevailed. She said, "Third Uncle, if you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster!"
Lu Jinlang just smiled.
Kang Huanxian couldn't help but say, "Don't talk nonsense, let your third uncle come first."
Tongtong was still holding Wen Jianing's neck firmly.
Wen Jianing went to the barbershop to wash his hair today, and the scent of shampoo smelled on his head. Tong Tong stretched out his fingers and lightly grabbed a strand of his hair and sniffed it.
He is a child who doesn't like verbal expression very much, and his likes and dislikes towards people and things are reflected in his actions.
Mrs. Lu had already greeted her. Seeing Wen Jianing was more intimate than seeing her son. She pulled him and asked him to come in and sit, and said, "Today, I asked the kitchen to make your favorite braised crucian carp."
Wen Jianing wondered when did he like braised crucian carp the most
Just as he was talking, Lu Jinxin opened the door and came in.
"Second Uncle!" Lu Yanyue rushed towards him at once.
Lu Jinxin was tall and tall, so he simply hugged Lu Yanyue and turned her around and put her on the ground, stretched out his hand and grabbed her face, "Is the little girl back?"
Lu Yanyue was very excited, "Well, the second uncle, the third uncle is so cool, he took care of a little boy."
"What little boy?" Lu Jinxin didn't understand, and then saw Wen Jianing, "tsk", "What is this? A stumbled boy?"
The old lady slapped her, "Shut up!"
