"Come, these three strings of sugar gourds are for you. Meng Fanchun stuffed the rock sugar gourd into Zhou Guangming's hand.

Rock sugar gourd is a hawthorn or other fruit skewers with bamboo skewers, and then wrapped in a layer of syrup, the syrup will become hard after drying outside.

Rock sugar gourd is the most common snack in the winter in the north, and in the streets and alleys, you will meet uncles and aunts pushing tricycles and selling them in the alleys. "Sugar gourd" and "sugar gourd", as long as you hear this sound, the little babies in the alley have jumped out, this is the favorite snack of northern children in winter, wrapped in this thick layer of syrup, a string of crystal clear appearance, really lovely.

"Godfather eats it too. Zhou Guangming grabbed the bamboo stick with his small hand and raised it in front of Meng Fanchun's eyes.

"Godfather often eats this, haven't we eaten it brightly? This sugar gourd is sweet and sour, and it is delicious. Meng Fanchun gently pulled his lips and smiled, like a spring breeze, "Good, eat with your mother, godfather is going to the clinic." He rubbed his head and said, "Come with your mother!"

"Mother, what should I do?" Zhou Guangming looked at Hua Banzhi and begged for help.

"It's simple, wouldn't it be nice if we had delicious food for you godfather in the future. Hua Banzhi's clear eyes like jewels looked at him and smiled slightly.

She could see that Meng Fanchun really liked the child Guangming, so solemn and heartfelt.

"That's right!" Zhou Guangming nodded happily, "Mother, can I eat it?"

"Of course, your godfather didn't give it to you. Hua Banzhi reached out and rubbed his head and said, "This sugar gourd is very delicious." ”

In particular, the sugar gourd in the capital tastes different, and the next bite is crispy and sweet and sour, which is very appetizing.

"My mother has eaten it. Zhou Guangming looked up at Hua Banzhi curiously and said with a wink.

"Yes. Hua Banzhi nodded and said, "Let me hold the other two strings for you." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Guangming handed the two strings of sugar gourds in his hand to Hua Banzhi.

Hua Banzhi took the sugar gourd, looked at them, when did you eat them, when did you eat it, when did you buy it when I didn't leave, and the taste is still fresh in my memory.

As for my father's money, he smokes a lot!

"Let's go, let's go back to the dormitory first and put up the rest of the sugar gourds. Hua Banzhi pulled him back to the dormitory.

Hua Banzhi put the sugar gourd in the tea jar, "The rest will be eaten tomorrow." ”

"Mother, you eat too. Zhou Guangming raised the sugar gourd to the eyes of Hua Banzhi.

"Eat it! I don't eat it. Hua Banzhi shook his head slightly.

"If my mother doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either. Zhou Guangming stubbornly looked at Hua Banzhi and said in a strengthened tone, "I will do what I say." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll eat a general one!" Hua Banzhi lowered his head and bit a hawthorn down.

The sweet and sour taste is still so mellow, just like the taste of childhood, as well as the memories of my mother.

The core of the hawthorn is also removed, so you can eat it boldly with confidence.

It is said that the rock sugar gourd is sour, and it is wrapped in sweetness inside the sour; it is said that the ice gourd is sweet, but it is wrapped in sour inside the sweet; the sugar gourd looks good and it wears bamboo sticks, symbolizing happiness and reunion; it connects happiness and reunion into a string, and there is no worry or trouble.

Hua Banzhi thought of this song inexplicably, but unfortunately the motherless child is a grass, she walked simply, a hundred, who cares about the life or death of her and her sister.

Hua Banzhi shook her head slightly, she was past the age when she needed her mother, it was not that she was cold by nature, and she hoped that she would be benevolent.

Zhou Guangming stretched out his little tongue to lick the syrup wrapped in the sugar gourd, looking reluctant to eat.

"Rest assured to eat boldly, if you want to eat, let's buy it, don't be so childish who has never seen the world. Hua Banzhi looked at him cowering, and said loudly, "I have a salary now, I can't afford anything else, and I can still afford to eat rock sugar gourds." ”

"But mother, do we still owe a lot of debt?" Zhou Guangming said in a low voice.

"Uh......" Hua Banzhi shook his head and said with a smile, "Little fool, deduct a little money from your salary every month, it won't affect our lives." So don't worry about money, it's much better than we used to be. He pinched his cheek and said, "Understood." ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Guangming looked at her and nodded, "Mother, let's go!"

"What should you do when you finish eating the sugar gourd and go outside to eat a cold breeze?" Hua Banzhi looked at it and smiled, "Don't worry, you have plenty of time." ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Guangming nodded, biting the sugar gourd and eating it in a big gulp.

Hua Banzhi got up and poured some hot water for himself and the little guy, and when the little guy finished eating, "Drink some water, otherwise your mouth will be too sweet." Pushed the teapot to him.

Zhou Guangming picked up the teapot and drank it all at once.

Hua Banzhi looked at him who could eat and drink, which represented good health.

The most intuitive manifestation of a child's illness is poor appetite.

After eating and drinking, Hua Banzhi pulled him out of the dormitory and went directly to the back kitchen to continue chopping firewood.

&*&

Cheng Yunling entered Meng Fanchun's office without knocking on the door after the people dispersed, she really couldn't let him continue to be deceived by the mother and son.

Meng Fanchun, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his eyes and saw that it was her, his black eyes shook slightly, and he deliberately said, "Why is it uncomfortable?"

Cheng Yunling's delicate face could no longer hide the complex emotions. After taking countless deep breaths, she finally raised her eyes to look at Meng Fanchun and said seriously, "How do you want to recognize your godson." ”

Hearing this, Meng Fanchun slowly raised his head, looked at her and said, "Nurse Cheng, this seems to be my private matter!"

By implication, you have no right to ask.

Cheng Yunling was choked half to death by his words, lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and calmed her tangled mood.

After a while, Cheng Yunling raised his head and looked at him to slow down his tone, "Meng Da ......" swallowed the word "big brother" very unproductively under his sharp eyes, and changed his words, "Doctor Meng." Don't be fooled by her thin appearance. ”

"Nurse Cheng!" Meng Fanchun said with a dark face when he heard this, "Please pay attention to your wording, you are questioning my judgment." After a pause, he said, "For the sake of my colleagues, I won't care about it this time, and I don't want to hear anything slandering her again." ”

Being criticized so harshly and being the person she was thinking about was her own heart, Cheng Yunling's eyes were red on the spot, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she stubbornly refused to fall.

Meng Fanchun didn't have the slightest pity for Xiangxiangyu, but warned her, "Nurse Cheng, as a nurse, I hope you do your job well, after all, human life is at stake." ”

"What do you mean? You're questioning my ability to work. Cheng Yunling suddenly became angry, her cheeks were flushed with anger, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at him and said aggrievedly, "You are not allowed to talk about me like that." ”
