Section 26 (2/3)



"I saw it." Chen Zhiqian stood face to face with Liu Xiangnian who walked into the room, holding a plate. He went over and put the omelet on the table.

Liu Xiangnian looked around and also at the young man in front of him. In such a pitifully small room, even though he was wearing a ridiculous apron, it could not conceal his brilliance.

In recent years, Liu Xiangnian has seen many young people from the mainland. Perhaps it is because of the difference in living environment, no matter how good their innate conditions are, most of them have that rustic air of being inexperienced. He does not have that feeling at all. Instead, he has a calmness that young people of this age do not have.

Chen Zhiqian ignored him and served two bowls of porridge. On a small plate, a piece of rose fermented bean curd was cut in half. He said, "Fan Qi, you can come out for breakfast now."

"I'll be right there."

Liu Xiangnian had been waiting for Chen Zhiqian to speak first, but this kid was more patient than he had imagined and was planning to ignore him and eat his breakfast.

"Zhi Qian." Liu Xiangnian called him.

"Mr. Liu." Chen Zhiqian replied.

"I think you should know why I'm here." Liu Xiangnian fell in love with the child at first sight.

Fan Qi came out of the bathroom. Their dining table was against the wall, with two chairs facing each other. Since Liu Xiangnian had arrived, there were no extra chairs to be vacated.

Fan Qi still understood this basic courtesy: "Mr. Liu, would you like to sit down and talk?"

"Sit down and eat first. You have an exam today. After you finish eating, catch the subway." Chen Zhiqian said to Fan Qi.

That's true. Fan Qi sat down and saw a pancake on the plate with egg and chopped green onion on it. Chen Zhiqian saw her staring at the pancake and smiled, "It's not a Shandong egg pancake, and there's no cilantro either, so just eat it."

"Oh!" Fan Qi stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of cake and started eating.

Chen Zhiqian and Liu Xiangnian stood opposite each other. Chen Zhiqian said gently and politely: "I know why you are here, but I don't understand."

Liu Xiangnian smiled slightly: "What don't you understand?"

"Why is a matter that was settled forty years ago being brought up again? You remember the necklace, but have you forgotten the contents of the divorce agreement? We are done with each other and will never have any contact again. These words are written clearly." Chen Zhiqian walked to the door and extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Liu, please go ahead!"

Liu Xiangnian shook his head slightly: "It seems that your family has instilled too many grievances of the previous generation into him, which has caused you to have a deep misunderstanding of me. As the saying goes, listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, while listening to only one side will lead to ignorance. Zhiqian, are you willing to listen to my opinion here?"

Chen Zhiqian ignored him and sat down to eat breakfast. Seeing Fan Qi eating an egg pancake happily, he asked, "Is it delicious?"

“It’s delicious.”

Remembering her request last night, he asked, "Compared to Shandong pancakes?"

"The taste is completely different. There is no substitute for the two. Shandong pancakes! The crust is very thin, with crispy fillings inside. I must add two eggs, sweet bean sauce, a little bit of hot sauce, pickled mustard, chopped green onions and coriander." Fan Qi ate the pancake and expressed his true thoughts, "Oh, you shouldn't have reminded me. Now I want to eat Shandong pancakes. What do you say I should do?"

"Then forget it. Shandong pancakes need special tools to be made. Where can I find a griddle?"

Fan Qi raised her head and looked at him seriously: "There are always more solutions than problems. Maybe you can find it in a hotel supply store. It's the kind that foreigners use to make crepes. The tools are exactly the same as those used for Shandong pancakes."

Chen Zhiqian reached out and pulled the egg pancake to his side: "If you don't like it, don't force yourself."

Fan Qi snatched it away: "Are you being stingy? You asked me yourself, so I'm telling you the truth. I want to eat this too!"

Chen Zhiqian said angrily: "You are asking too much." This work is provided for online reading by Thinku.com

"People's yearning for a better life is one of the driving forces behind technological progress. I'm optimistic about you, keep going!"

Chen Zhiqian: …

Fan Qi snatched the omelet and continued eating. Liu Xiangnian stood there, in a dilemma.
