When the water boiled, Hua Banzhi sat down on a small bench, picked the water spinach that he had just bought from the vegetable market, peeled more garlic cloves, a shallot, and cut some minced ginger.

Wash the water spinach and drain it in a bamboo basket, everything is ready, the water is boiled, and the dishes you bought are boiled in batches.

Lin Xiyan, who came back from buying xiaolong soup dumplings, looked at her cooking dishes, "I was just about to tell you to cook the dishes and use them again." Didn't expect you to do it. ”

"I don't want to get sick from my mouth. Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled, looking at the bubbling iron pot, "Oh! Okay, take it out and replace it with the next batch." ”

"I'll come, I'll come. Lin Xiyan volunteered and reached out to scoop up the dishes.

"Be careful. Hua Banzhi reminded him, and as soon as the words fell, he saw him tugging at his ear.

"Hiss......" Lin Xiyan gasped and said, "It's so hot." ”

Hua Banzhi shook his head amusedly, reached out and quickly fished out the dishes of the iron pot and replaced them with a new batch.

"Why aren't you afraid of being hot?" Lin Xiyan said as he looked at her hand.

"I have rough skin and thick meat, and I'm not afraid of being hot, you have fine skin and tender meat. Hua Banzhi pointed to her hands that were whiter than her.

"Uh......" Lin Xiyan was speechless for a while, as if he didn't say anything right, "You've worked hard all these years!"

"Hard work is hard work!" Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled, "But it's good to carry it, maybe it's my capital to work hard?"

"Capital?" Lin Xiyan said with a wink of puzzled eyes.

"The body is the capital of the revolution!" Hua Banzhi looked at him and chuckled, "Otherwise, I can have a good body now!"

Lin Xiyan looked at her with a stunned look on his face when he heard this, and then smiled, "You really think about everything in the good way." ”

"What else should I do? Without a little Ah Q spirit, I wouldn't be able to live a long time ago. Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled.

"Mother, when is it time to eat!" Zhou Guangming stood at the kitchen door and looked at her and said.

"Immediately, I'll fry a water spinach, and we'll eat right away. Hua Banzhi said as he took out the last dishes, chopsticks, and spoons from the iron pot, poured hot water with a cloth, washed the iron pot, and put it back on the fire.

"Bright get out of here, this kitchen is hot. Hua Banzhi waved his hand to let Zhou Guangming leave.

"Then I'll go to the living room and wait. Zhou Guangming looked at them and said, turned around and went to the living room to sit, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and read it.

"I'll stir-fry, I'll come. Lin Xiyan washed his hands and said.

"Alright then!" Hana moved out of the way.

Lin Xiyan watched the iron pot for stir-frying vegetables being roasted dry, he took the oil bottle, and poured oil with a bang, a knock.

"Enough, enough. Hua Banzhi hurriedly said, "There is too much oil poured on it." ”

"Stir-fried vegetables, there is less oil, it looks like boiling in water, it is not delicious. Lin Xiyan said eloquently.

"I'm afraid our family can't afford to feed you with this amount of oil. Hua Banzhi shook his head slightly, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

"The captain is paid well and can definitely afford to eat. Lin Xiyan saw that the oil was hot, and with a "stinging ......", he put the green onions, ginger and garlic into the oil pot and stir-fried.

We can afford to eat, but the state can't afford it, and money can't buy it. It's two taels of oil a month, and the amount of oil Lin Xiyan poured just now is enough for them to eat for a year.

Hua Banzhi opened his mouth, the words rolled on the tip of his tongue, and swallowed back, and when the wolf came, in the face of reality, he would naturally tighten his clothes and food.

Soon the fragrance of green onions and garlic wafted in the kitchen, put the drained water spinach into the wok, put a little salt, and Lin Xiyan took the iron pot and stir-fried quickly.

Hua Banzhi looked at him stir-frying in an orderly manner, and it seemed that he really knew how to cook, and there was no deception.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiyan looked back at her, his eyes looked at him and he was stunned.

"You know how to cook. Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled.

"Of course, I can cook not only Chinese food, but also Western food. Lin Xiyan's warm eyes looked at her and said gently, "I'll make it for you another day, but I'm afraid you won't be used to it, British food is notoriously unpalatable." ”

"Then you better not do it. Hua Banzhi waved his hand and said with a look of admiration.

"We can try how Western food is different from us, and we don't eat it every day. Lin Xiyan turned around and stir-fried the water spinach.

Hua Banzhi looked at him in high spirits, and couldn't bear to blow, but there was something that had to be said, "What I want to say is out of place." ”

Lin Xiyan's body stiffened, the spatula in his hand paused, closed his eyes, and pretended to be relaxed, "Chinese food is good, Western food is not delicious at all." ”

"There are some things I don't want to say, but I have to say them, I hope you don't get angry. Hua Banzhi looked at his stiff back.

"Thank you for the reminder. Lin Xiyan said knowingly, "I will not mention everything I have abroad in the future, whether at home or outside." ”

"I know it's part of your life experience, and it's painful to make you stripped away. A hint of distress flashed in Hua Banzhi's eyes, "But you have to do it, the trouble comes from the mouth, I don't want you to be guilty of your words." ”

Lin Xiyan took a few deep breaths, took the wok, turned to look at her and said, "Actually, it's not so easy to be abroad, every day is studying, studying, and I feel that there is not enough time." And because of the problem of skin color...... "waved his hand," he said, "forget it." He looked at her with dark eyes and said, "I know what you mean, and I will do it." "It has to be done.

"I'm sorry!" Hua Banzhi pursed her lips, and her deep eyes looked at him as bottomless as an ancient well.

"Okay, what are you sorry for! This has nothing to do with you, it's me ......."

Before Lin Xiyan finished speaking, Hua Banzhi interrupted, "I don't want to hear you say such things in the future, this is my choice, and it has nothing to do with you." He looked at him coldly and said, "I know what I will face if I choose to do it? Even if the environment is difficult and people are unpredictable, how should I live this life?" ”

"Actually, I'm easy to say alone, but you and the light are innocent. Lin Xiyan looked at her calmly and said.

"Although I was forced to enter the game, I was finally in the game. Hua Banzhi looked at him with deep eyes and said, "There is no such thing as innocence." Even though I had a bad hand in my hand, I wanted to play hard. "Even though I knew life and where it was going, I had nothing to fear and would cherish every minute.

"Life is not perfect, it just depends on how you choose to overcome these hurdles. Lin Xiyan looked at her and said with a gentle smile, "The worse it is, the more you have to fight hard." ”

"Yes, anyway, the worst thing is to go back to my old job, and I'm not afraid!" Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled.

"Old business?" Lin Xiyan didn't remember what she was referring to for a while?

"Farming!" Hua Banzhi reminded him with a smile, "Isn't it the old job?"
