Chapter 55: Mapo Tofu
The next day, Jiang Xiaolin came to the Yu family's courtyard with a basket. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, Yu Zhenye is the only one in the Yu family, and he is pacing slowly in the yard.
"Brother Zhenye. ”
Jiang Xiaolin familiarly put the basket into the Yu family's kitchen first, only to find that there was no one else at home.
"Are you the only one in the house?"
"Hmm. Yu Zhenye paced to the door of the kitchen, but did not enter, "Mom and Dad and they all went to work in the fields, and Yingzi sent them mung bean water." ”
"Gone to the field?"
Jiang Xiaolin then remembered that it was already time for the autumn harvest, so the Yu family was all going to go to the ground, otherwise Yu Zhenye would definitely have to go to the ground with the injury on his leg.
"I just remembered it? I can see that your family doesn't farm. Yu Zhenye laughed at her, usually a clever little girl also has times when she is confused.
"That's why you forgot?" Jiang Xiaolin stuck out her little tongue, "That's just right, it's almost time to eat, I'll help you cook." ”
"No, my mom and they're all ready, just heat it up. ”
During the autumn harvest, they don't have much time and energy to cook well, and their family's habit is to steam a large basket of steamed noodles, with ready-made miso and green vegetables, and then come back to heat up the porridge and eat.
"The autumn harvest is so physically demanding, it is better to eat more, I have brought all the things, and today I was supposed to cook. ”
Jiang Xiaolin began to dig things out of the basket, first a large bowl, which contained a large piece of tofu, a small piece of pork, seasonings such as green onions, ginger, peppercorns, chili peppers, and finally the bottle of bean paste.
Yu Zhenye realized that looking at the little girl's posture, she really came to his house to cook, and she came to cook it for herself.
It's obviously a little girl who has just come of age, but she always tries to take care of him and be good to him. Yu Zhenye was touched by a heartwarming warmth, he was obviously so much older than her, he should take more care of her, he secretly reminded himself.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaolin was already chopping meat, he walked into the kitchen on crutches: "I'll help you." ”
Jiang Xiaolin realized that he was already very close to him, and he was obviously very happy that he came to get close to him, but he still blushed uncontrollably. She disguised her shyness, handed him the knife, and went to peel the onions herself.
"Just chop it up. ”
Yu Zhenye chopped the meat filling seriously, and Jiang Xiaolin finished peeling the green onion only to find that he was on crutches with one hand, and it was really inconvenient to chop the meat with the other, so he hurriedly said: "I'll do it, you help me light the fire." "Just sit on the stove and watch the fire.
By the time Yu Zhenye lit the fire, Jiang Xiaolin had already processed all the ingredients, and what she was going to do today was mapo tofu.
"Do you know why you eat mapo tofu today?" It's a rare opportunity for two people to be alone, and it's a pity to just use your hands and not speak. Jiang Xiaolin told Yu Zhenye about the fact that Zhou Ping brought a large plate of kung pao chicken to Yu Zhenxing yesterday, and Yu Zhenye had eaten it all.
"So today I bought some tofu, half of which taught my cousin to make a light home-cooked tofu for him to eat, and the other half to make mapo tofu. ”
Yu Zhenye listened to this interesting story, imagined the scene of his younger brother being scratched by the spicy heart, and laughed without brotherly love.
It was the first time Jiang Xiaolin heard him laugh like this, his laughter was hearty and charming, his eyes flashed with joy, and his whole person was relaxed, and he suddenly seemed to be several years younger.
In fact, he is not very old, but he is usually too serious and calm, and he looks very majestic.
Jiang Xiaolin often ignores that she has crossed over and is more than ten years younger, so Yu Zhenye in her eyes is her peer, and there is no generation gap.
For Yu Zhenye, Jiang Xiaolin is a little girl eleven years younger than him, immature but well-behaved and sensible, and she is the person he should spoil and take care of.
Providence makes people, and it can only be said that both of them are satisfied.
Yu Zhenye found that he laughed, and the little girl was stunned, so she stopped laughing embarrassedly and pursed her lips again.
Jiang Xiaolin came to her senses, looked at his pursed lips with regret, and continued her work.
She was quick with her hands and feet, and in a few minutes, the mapo tofu was out of the pot.
"Taste it. Jiang Xiaolin naturally took a spoon, filled it with a little soup, blew it seriously, and then handed it to Yu Zhenye's mouth.
Yu Zhenye couldn't help blushing, but fortunately, his skin was tanned from his perennial training, and he couldn't see the red at all.
He quickly tasted the spoon in Jiang Xiaolin's hand, and sure enough, it was spicy and fragrant, much better than what they did in the army canteen.
"It was delicious. He nodded, and Jiang Xiaolin received his praise and smiled.
After packing up the things she brought, Jiang Xiaolin thought that she couldn't stay for dinner today, and was ready to leave before the Yu family came back.
"Today, my comrade-in-arms sent a letter. Yu Zhenye suddenly talked about him, Jiang Xiaolin was puzzled, but he also stopped what he was doing and listened carefully.
In fact, Yu Zhenye didn't know why, but he was very reluctant to see her in a hurry, so he talked about the letter he received today.
"The person who wrote the letter was our deputy battalion commander, and he said that after my report was submitted last time, the leaders of the unit attached great importance to the promotion of first-aid methods, and now they have begun to prepare to promote this matter in the whole military region. ”
"That's great. Jiang Xiaolin was genuinely happy for him, she could feel that Yu Zhenye attached great importance to this matter, although they had not talked about it in depth, but she could realize that the war had hurt this man more than that.
She remembered that she had wanted to mail him some first-aid medicine but could not buy it on the market, and quickly told him about it, and then said:
"It would be better if the soldiers could carry a small first-aid bag with a little trauma medicine such as hemostasis. ”
Yu Zhenye's eyes lit up: "You're right, this can also be suggested." "Actually, except for the beginning of the war, many casualties in the later stages occurred during the evacuation of the wounded to the field hospital, on the one hand, because they were attacked on the road, and on the other hand, because the wounded could not be treated in time. The climate at the border is humid and hot, and the soldiers in the north alone are prone to heat stroke when they get there, and there are many mosquitoes, and the wounds of the wounded often fester, and when they are sent to the hospital, they are even serious enough to have their limbs amputated......
This afternoon, Jiang Xiaolin quietly listened to him tell many stories that happened on the battlefield, and was moved by the soldiers who defended their home and country with their flesh and blood, and at the same time, she was also deeply grateful to God for allowing this man to return to her.
Before leaving, she grabbed Yu Zhenye's big hand tightly with her two hands and said to him:
"Rest assured, there will be fewer and fewer wars in the future, and the soldiers will receive the best treatment and resettlement, and there will be people who will remember everything you have sacrificed for peace. ”
Jiang Xiaolin, who returned home, thought for a long time, and then wrote a letter to her Professor Zhang.
“…… As a medical student, I was deeply ashamed to hear the stories of wounded soldiers coming down from the front. These loveliest people, when they are shedding blood and sweat to defend their homeland and country, we let them not get the treatment they deserve when they need it most, and even cause serious consequences such as amputation or loss of life. I believe that there is an urgent need to research portable rescue medicines......"
