Shen Jingxiu was woken up by the sound of a jingling bell.

In fact, the sound was not very loud, but he had slept relatively lightly in the past two days, so he woke up at the slightest movement.

Reaching for his phone on the bedside table, he saw that it was only around five o'clock in the morning.

It's still dark outside at five o'clock in winter. It's very unusual for such a sound to come from the house at this time.

He got up and went downstairs, following the sound to the kitchen.

Before he reached the door, he saw a slender figure who was busy.

Obviously, that back figure does not belong to Mrs. Zhang, nor does it belong to any servant in the family.

But it belongs to Wen Yan!

But why did she get up so early and cook in the kitchen?

Shen Jingxiu felt strange and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Wen Yan, what are you doing here?"

When Shen Jingxiu walked behind Wen Yan, Wen Yan was concentrating on cutting tomatoes.

Suddenly she heard a sound coming from above her head, and she was so frightened that she almost threw the knife away.

"Brother!" Wen Yan turned around suddenly, "You scared me to death. How come you don't make any sound when you walk?"

Shen Jingxiu raised his chin towards the range hood on the side: "I made noise when I walked, but the sound of the range hood was too loud. I also want to ask you, it's still so early, why did you get up and cook by yourself? ?”

She had obviously been in the kitchen for a while, and there were sliced ​​beef strips and green peppers nearby.

"It seems like what you're cooking isn't breakfast. Why? There's nothing cooking on the stove, so why are you turning on the hood?"

"Uh..." This made Wen Yan feel a little embarrassed, "Don't laugh at me. I haven't really used the kitchen at home, and this stove is too smart. I seemed to have just used it. I just touched it, I sensed it somewhere, and then the cigarette machine started to work. I wanted to turn it off, but it didn’t seem to work after I tried it. How about you help me? Look He seems to understand very well."

"..." Shen Jingxiu narrowed his eyes, "Then give way and I will study it."

"Okay, then I'll go and chop vegetables. Fortunately, our kitchen is big enough."

Shen Jingxiu said 'hmm' and began to study the range hood.

Wen Yan also answered the question he just raised.

"What I'm cooking now is indeed not breakfast, just a few home-cooked dishes that my biological mother liked to eat when she was alive."

"Oh?" Shen Jingxiu glanced at Wen Yan in surprise, "Didn't Aunt Wen pass away when you were very young? You probably didn't have any memory at that time. How did you know what he liked to eat?"

Wen Yan gave it away a little: "How about...what do you think?"

Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he felt like he had guessed the answer.

"You asked Xu Jie, did you ask him?"

"Full marks for your answer!" Wen Yan glanced at Shen Jingxiu with a smile, "You are worthy of being a big brother, you guessed it right away."

At this time, Shen Jingxiu had also found the switch of the hood. He turned off the hood, and the kitchen suddenly became quiet.

"So, you have already made your choice in your mind, right?"

The surrounding environment suddenly became quiet. Wen Yan was still a little unaccustomed to it, and felt that the topic became heavy.

But now her mood is light.

"Well, I already know what to do, and now I'm not confused at all."

"Then can you tell me?"

"Well..., but it's hard to say now, because I have to wait until I see Xu Jie before I have the final result. I'll tell you when I get back, okay?"

"You even made an appointment with him?"

Shen Jingxiu asked, looking at the dishes in Wen Yan's hand again, "So are these also made for him?"

"NO," Wen Yan frowned at Shen Jingxiu exaggeratedly, "Didn't I just say that it was made for my mother. But I did make an appointment to meet him in the cemetery. Make a few things that my mother likes. The dish is to see her.”

However, Shen Jingxiu frowned even more when he heard this.

"So early, you made an appointment with him to meet at the cemetery?"

Wen Yan nodded: "Because he was already there, and he probably arrived last night. I only heard about it when I called him."

"Then why did you suddenly think of calling him? Is it because of the files you saw in the city bureau and what Director Wang said?"

"Yes, but not entirely. I dreamed of my biological mother last night, so I called her when I woke up."

"Then what did you dream about?" In fact, Shen Jingxiu is not a person who likes to ask questions.

But it was about Wen Yan, and he just couldn't help but ask for more details.

Wen Yan had no intention of hiding anything from Shen Jingxiu.

But she knew it was still early.

Then he asked: "But brother, aren't you sleepy? It's still very early. Are you sure you don't want to sleep a little longer? By the way, you must have been woken up by me, right? I just knocked over a basin, and the shock The sound from the sky startled me."

"No, I haven't completely recovered from jet lag, so I sleep very lightly."

Wen Yan nodded: "So that's it. Since you're not sleeping, you can just chat with me. Let me tell you about the dream I had last night."

"You say? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hmm... yes, then help me put some water in that casserole, and then boil some tea eggs."

"it is good."

"I'll give you an apron. I'll be pouring soy sauce after cooking the tea eggs, so I'll be careful if it falls on you."

Neither of them are considered novices in the kitchen.

Shen Jingxiu used to cook a lot when he was studying abroad, so he is quite comfortable doing these things.

Although Wen Yan is not particularly experienced in cooking, she can still cook.

The two of them were talking and cooking together, looking busy and happy.

However, during the conversation, Wen Yan was mainly talking, and Shen Jingxiu was responsible for listening most of the time.

While listening, Shen Jingxiu suddenly caught a glimpse of Mrs. Zhang walking to the kitchen door.

At first, Mrs. Zhang was extremely shocked when she saw the two people in the kitchen.

However, seeing that the two of them were chatting intensely, she didn't dare to interrupt them loudly.

Shen Jingxiu didn't want a third person to suddenly appear now.

He silently winked at Mrs. Zhang and signaled her to leave.

Mrs. Zhang nodded and left quietly.

Until Wen Yan told the whole dream and her inner thoughts, she didn't know that Mrs. Zhang had been here.

"That's it, so I decided to meet him and give him the letter I got from Director Wang. I have to resolve this matter quickly. I have to go back to the set to film in two days. "

Shen Jingxiu nodded: "I respect your decision. I'll drive you there in a moment. It's too remote over there. I'm not worried about you going alone."

Wen Yan thought about it for a moment: "Actually, I can drive there myself. But I might chat with him for a while. If you go, you'll have to wait for me nearby. I'm afraid you'll be bored."

"I'm not afraid of boredom, and I find things for myself to do."

"That's true. Just have a mobile phone. Thank you very much for helping me today. Now you can go back to your room and change clothes. I'll prepare breakfast for the two of us."

As she spoke, Wen Yan diligently took off the apron around Shen Jingxiu's waist.

Shen Jingxiu originally wanted to say that he could make breakfast so that she could rest instead. But seeing that she had quickly circled behind him, he just stood there and couldn't move.

Let Wen Yan put away the apron she was wearing, and then he turned to look at her.

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll do it."

"Isn't this ready-made? The tea eggs are boiled, and then I heat up a few slices of toast. The toast is bought and is in the refrigerator. It doesn't take much trouble. Go out quickly and go directly to the restaurant later. alright."

It was rare for Wen Yan to cook by herself, and looking at these home-cooked dishes, she felt quite accomplished.

"Oops!" Thinking of this, she suddenly cried out in annoyance, "I forgot to take my phone down. Tsk, I really am."

Shen Jingxiu knew her too well: "You want to take a photo, right? Use mine. I'll send it to you after I take it."

While talking, Shen Jingxiu handed Wen Yan his mobile phone.

Wen Yan didn't refuse, this was indeed a solution.

"Okay, thank you, brother. But your phone is not unlocked yet. How can I send it to myself?"

Shen Jingxiu didn't hesitate and immediately reported a series of numbers.

"This is the power-on password."

He spoke so fast that Wen Yan didn't even have time to hand the phone over to him and let him unlock it himself.

This made Wen Yan feel flattered.

She shook her phone at Shen Jingxiu and joked: "You told me the password? Then if something in your phone is leaked, won't I be able to explain it?"

Shen Jingxiu chuckled: "What secrets can I have that you can't know?"

"Then who knows, what if it's a company secret."

"The company belongs to the Shen family, and you are a member of the Shen family. It doesn't matter if you know."

Wen Yan: [Well, the eldest brother is getting nicer and nicer. I’ll give him an extra egg later and help him peel it myself]

What Wen Yan didn't notice was that while she was taking pictures of her 'work', Shen Jingxiu on the side had silently picked up the tea eggs and peeled them.
-

Although she didn't know how long Xu Jie originally planned to stay in the cemetery, Wen Yan still didn't want the other party to wait for her for too long.

So after finishing breakfast in a hurry, she got into Shen Jingxiu's car carrying the packed food.

It was after six o'clock in the morning when they set off, and it was not yet bright.

It was almost eight o'clock when we arrived at the cemetery.

The weather today is not bad, the environment in the suburbs is quite good, and the visibility is relatively high.

From a distance, Wen Yan saw a person standing in front of Wen Wen's tombstone.

Shen Jingxiu parked the car at the foot of the steps and stopped following Wen Yan.

Goodbye Xu Jie, he was still dressed as usual.

Black clothes, black trousers, black hats, and black masks wrap themselves up tightly.

The difference is that the eyelids around his eyes are not as wrinkled as before.

Because it's swollen.

You don’t need to think about it to know that you are crying.

When he saw Wen Yan, he still didn't dare to look directly at her, fearing that his appearance would scare her.

I was scared before when I didn't know she was my daughter.

Now that he knew it, he was even more afraid.

"You're here." Xu Jie took the initiative to speak.

Wen Yan smiled at him: "Yes. I saw a battery car below. Did you ride here last night?"

Xu Jie nodded.

Suddenly he took out a plastic bag wrapped in many layers from his arms.

"Have you eaten? I have steamed buns here. I put them in several bags. They are very clean."

The steamed buns that had been kept in my arms began to emit white smoke as soon as they encountered the cold air.

Wen Yan couldn't express the feeling in her heart: "Did you leave it to me specially?"

"I don't know what kind of stuffed buns you like, so I just bought steamed buns, which are made with brown sugar and have a sweet taste."

"Thank you, but I ate it. I cooked some food to see my mother. And then I have some things for you."

As she spoke, Wen Yan knelt down and opened the lunch box.

She first called 'Mama Wen' in her heart, and then said: "I came to see you again. I received the dream you gave me. These are all your favorite dishes before."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Xu Jie on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but shed tears.

But soon, an embarrassed voice broke this sad mood.

Xu Jie's stomach actually made a growling sound.

Wen Yan was startled: "It turns out you didn't eat."

Xu Jie then explained: "There are no breakfast shops nearby. The only one opens very late. I just bought it not long ago."

"Then you can eat. It happens that these dishes are also hot. Mom can't eat them, so you can try them on my mother's behalf."

Xu Jie shook his head: "No need."

Wen Yan glanced at him: "Is it because I'm here and you're afraid of scaring me by taking off your mask?"

Xu Jie was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I look terrible."

"Probably not," Wen Yan took out another paper bag, "How can a hero be scary? Look, this is what I want to give you. I have been to the Municipal Bureau and met Director Wang, and I understand Some of your things, these are letters written to you by the children you have sponsored. I think you can read them. They all like you and know that you have experienced bad things, but no one is afraid of you. "

Xu Jie was surprised: "You want to know me?"

"Yeah, would it be weird? Dad Xu."

"What?" Xu Jie thought he heard wrongly, "What did you call me just now?"

"Dad Xu." Wen Yan said in a brisk tone, "After all, we haven't known each other's existence for so many years, and we really can't call you dad, so I'll just call you dad Xu, okay?"

Xu Jie was so excited that he lost his voice.

He was wearing a mask, and Wen Yan couldn't see his face, only his big tears.

Wen Yan was a little moved: "I seem to know the answer, Dad Xu. How about we sit down and I will eat with you."

Wen Yan took out a packet of paper from her pocket, took out two sheets and put them on the ground.

"Fortunately, the tableware has been placed in the thermal bag, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to eat today's meal. But there is only a pair of chopsticks and a spoon. Do you want chopsticks or a spoon? Sit down quickly, or should I treat you? "

Wen Yan was serious. She walked to Xu Jie and helped him sit down.

Xu Jie naturally doesn't know how to work and Wen Yan said: "No, I will do it myself."

Wen Yan smiled: "Did you also wear a mask when you saw my mother?"

Xu Jie shook his head: "But I'm afraid of scaring you."

Wen Yan shook her head: "Have you forgotten the time I was kidnapped? I have already seen it. When I planned to come over to see you, I had already decided to accept everything. Can you accept it?" (End of Chapter)
