Early in the morning, Chen Chang'an got up and cleaned up the house. He stewed what should be stewed and cut what should be cut. Before he could finish his work, he heard a knock on the door.

He wiped his hands, opened the door and saw that it was Dao Nian. He was sitting in a wheelchair, followed by two young men with similar appearances.

"Dao Nian?" Unexpectedly, Dao Nian came so early. He was stunned for a moment and quickly opened the door: "Come in quickly, I don't have an elevator in this building, thank you for your hard work."

"Not working hard." Daonian noticed that after seeing him, Chen Changan subconsciously looked at the time, but he endured it again, "I'm here too early?"

"It's not too early, it's just right." Chen Chang'an turned on the TV and took out a clean blanket from the room to cover Dao Nian's knees. "The cooling has started to drop in the past two days, and there is no air conditioner in the room."

When he smelled the smell of meat in the room, Dao Nian's nose moved.

"The meat you gave me was very tender, so I made some to fry the crispy meat. I just fried a plate and you can taste the taste." Chen Changan brought out the washed fruit and crispy meat from the kitchen. He saw two young people who had been with Dao Nian standing at the door, "Please sit down, don't be polite."

The young man smiled at Chen Chang'an and turned to look at Dao Nian.

"They will leave later." Dao Nian picked up a piece of crispy, fresh and fragrant crispy meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He didn't look like he was eating, but more like he was tasting something that he had never tried before.

"Yes." One of the young men immediately said, "We sent the gentleman over here and were about to leave."

"Then come to have lunch after you finish your work?" Chen Chang'an said with a smile, "The dishes were cooked a little today, and Dao Nian and I couldn't finish them."

The two young men shook their heads together and said they were too busy to come.

Seeing that they had decided to leave, Chen Chang'an couldn't continue to try to keep them, so he had to stuff them a box of cookies he made himself into.

"Don't eat too much crispy meat, it will make your mouth dry. Eat some fruit to relieve greasiness." Chen Changan did not sit on the sofa, but moved a small stool and sat next to Daonian's wheelchair. He was half a body shorter than Daonian. He didn't know if Daonian was concerned about leg problems, but his sitting method might help increase Daonian's sense of security.

A box as big as a palm was handed to Chen Chang'an. The box was carved with beautiful auspicious cloud patterns and beautiful beads inlaid. Chen Chang'an had reason to suspect that these beads might be gems.

"What is this?" Chen Changan took the box and turned his head to see Dao Nian who was still eating crispy meat.

Is the crispy meat he fried so delicious? Last time he was so delicious at Daonian’s hot pot, he didn’t even see Daonian moving his chopsticks a few times. However, Daonian has eaten half of the crispy meat today.

I reached out and took a piece from the bowl and put it into my mouth. It was tender, crispy, and fragrant, and it was indeed better than before.

It seemed that Chen Changan actually took food from his bowl. Daonian paused for two or three seconds: "Home to come."

"Cough cough." Chen Changan patted his chest, choking so hard that he even burst into tears. "Dao Nian, don't you usually visit friends?"

Dao Nian looked at him quietly, and lazily reached out and patted Shen Chang'an's back.

Chen Changan instantly felt a lot more uncomfortable in his throat. He held the box and explained: "Getting gifts to a friend's house is called a casual gift. The gifts brought by a lover when he first went to see his parents are called a home gift."

"Oh." Dao Nian continued to bow his head and eat crispy meat, and all the gifts were the same.

Seeing that Dao Nian stopped talking, Chen Chang'an found a funny show on TV: "You watch TV for a while first, I'll go to the kitchen to watch the fire."

Dao Nian blinked at him, indicating that he had heard it.

Walking into the kitchen, Chen Changan looked at the beautiful gift box in his hand and poked his head out of the kitchen: "Dao Nian, can I open the gift you gave me now?"

"Yeah." After eating the last piece of crispy meat, Dao Nian held the empty bowl and stared at the TV screen expressionlessly, as if he was watching not a comedy show, but a boring preaching show.

The box was so delicate and beautiful, which made Chen Changan be careful when he opened the lid, but when he saw what was inside, his legs were still a little weak.

The inside was filled with a golden ingot that was the size of a fist. The golden ingot was round and cute, and its chubby body exuded a charming golden light.

This ingot is exactly the same as the ingot that the God of Wealth is holding on many statues of the God of Wealth.

He covered the box with a trembling tremblingly, and Chen Changan felt his little heart beating. He had never seen so much gold when he grew up so big.

He walked out of the kitchen with the box in his arms, and Chen Chang'an's voice was a little fluttering: "Dao Nian, is this casual gift you gave too expensive?"

"Not good?" Dao Nian frowned. It was obvious that during the Chinese New Year, many humans like to post pictures of ingots.

"It's not bad, but it's too good." Chen Changan swallowed, "Is it..."

"Just be fine." Dao Nian handed the empty bowl of crispy meat to Chen Chang'an, "I still need it."

"This is too expensive." Chen Changan shook his head, "I can't accept it."

Dao Nian took back the hand of Shukong Bowl: "Don't be friends with me anymore?"

"It is because I treat you as a friend that I cannot receive such a valuable gift." Chen Chang'an was unhappy when he saw Dao Nian, and quickly explained, "The friendship between friends does not need to be measured by money."

Daonian nodded: "Well, I don't mind you being poor."

Chen Chang'an: "..."

Thank you for your understanding.

"But my behavior is called taking advantage." Chen Changan laughed helplessly, "Dao Nian, maybe you have lived in a simple and generous environment since you were a child. I don't know how terrible the power of money is. There are countless people in the world who are beyond recognition because of their interests."

Chen Changan pointed at himself and patted the back of Dao Nian's hand: "I want to be friends with you, that's all, for nothing else, can you understand my mood?"

Dao Nian quietly looked at the young man's black and white eyes, and there was a little more seriousness in his calm eyes: "I have seen all the sins and darkness in the world."

"Okay, okay, I know you've seen it." Chen Changan knew that the other party was thinking about the words he said just now that he had never seen how terrible the power of money was, so he had to follow his words, "Then take this back."

"No." Dao Nian drooped his eyelids, "My friend, just take it."

With eyes facing each other, Chen Chang'an looked at the other party's eyes as beautiful as the vast starry sky, and his mind was dizzy and gave in: "Okay, I'll accept it."

Dao Nian continued to look at him.

Seeing this, Chen Chang'an quickly added: "Thank you for your gift, I like it very much." There are a few people in the world who don't like gold ingots. He held the wooden box and thought to himself. When Dao Nian got married, he would use this gold ingot to make a golden doll and give it to him.

After hearing Chen Chang'an say he liked it very much, Dao Nian returned to watching comedy shows without expression, but just glanced at the empty bowl that had been filled with crispy meat with a few more glances.

Chen Changan instantly understood his eyes: "You can't eat too much crispy meat, you have to eat at noon, the cake will be baked immediately, I'll get a piece for you."

Dao Nian lowered her eyelids and didn't speak.

"Okay, okay." Mingming Dao Nian's expression had not changed much, Chen Chang'an could see that he was unhappy and had a small emotion. "He can only eat half a bowl, and after eating we will eat fruit, okay?"

Daonian turned around and continued watching TV, looking like "I didn't say anything, it's all your own meaning."

Chen Chang'an went into the kitchen to pack the crispy meat, put it in Daonian's hand, and accompanied Daonian to watch TV for a while, then started cooking and eating.

At twelve o'clock noon, all the dishes were served. Chen Chang'an saw Dao Nian leaning against a wheelchair and resting, and whispered to him: "Dao Nian, it's time to eat."

Dao Nian opened his eyes, and Chen Chang'an realized that his eyes were sleepless.

"The dining table is a bit high, do you mind going to the dining chair to have a meal?"

Daonian shook his head slightly and held his hands on the handrail. At this moment, Chen Changan suddenly leaned over, picked him up by the waist, and walked directly towards the dining table.

Dao Nian: "…"

Dao Nian:?

The moment he picked up Dao Nian, Chen Chang'an found that Dao Nian's legs did not seem to be deformed as he imagined, but he was afraid of irritating Dao Nian's emotions. He did not deliberately look at his legs. After putting the person on the dining chair, he also thoughtfully covered Dao Nian's legs with a blanket.

After doing all this, he found that Dao Nian looked at him very strangely.

"I'm very strong, don't worry." He handed the chopsticks to Daonian. Chen Chang'an wanted Daonian to forget his legs as much as possible, "Try my skills."

After eating a few chopsticks, he said Nian: "Okay."

"You may not believe it. I can cook at a very young age." Seeing that Dao Nian liked him, Chen Changan was worried that he was not strong enough to pick up food and was inconvenient to pick up food, so he kept picking up food for him with public chopsticks. "After the age of eight, I lived in a large yard. An old man had made an imperial chef with his ancestors. I learned a lot of cooking skills from him. At that time, my ideal was to be a chef, but unfortunately he despised me for cooking too craftsmanship, so he refused my request to become a disciple."

"It's delicious." Dao Nian emphasized again.

"Thank you." Chen Chang'an smiled brightly, "If you like it, I'll come to my house often in the future, and I'll cook it for you." Thinking that Dao Nian's legs were inconvenient to go upstairs, he changed his words, "Of course, you can go to your house to cook."

"At college, every time I made pickled chicken feet and took them to the dormitory, I would be snatched away by a few buddies in the dormitory." Speaking of this, the smile on Chen Chang'an's face faded. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to meet them again from now on.

I don’t know how they are now, whether their work is going well, and whether they have been single.

"Where will be tomorrow?" Dao Nian looked up at him and asked.

"Tomorrow?" Chen Chang'an came to his senses and remembered that he invited Dao Nian to go out to play. It was rare that Dao Nian took the initiative to propose it. Afraid that he changed his mind, Chen Chang'an hurriedly said, "Go to the nearby Shanquan Valley, where the transportation is more convenient, and you can drive in and out." He originally planned to lead Dao Nian to play in the local characteristic residential village, but there are many rural trails there, which is a bit inconvenient for Dao Nian.

Shortly after lunch, the people who came to pick up Dao Nian arrived. Chen Chang'an filled the fried small crispy meat, biscuits and cakes for Dao Nian, and made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning.

Liu Mao, who was sitting in the car with a large bag of things given by Chen Chang'an, saw this and was about to reach out to get it when he met Dao Nian's deep eyes.

He silently, silently withdrew his claws.
