Chapter 12 Stir-fried eggplant with minced meat
Zhao Yuemin received a certificate of merit in the labor skills competition and won the advanced, which made him very conspicuous in the crowd. Although he and Hu Lin were standing in a corner of the square chatting, the more and more onlookers of the oilfield workers made Zhao Yuemin feel that he had become the focus of attention -- he and Hu Lin seemed to be performing a model show in front of more than 1,000 audiences on the rostrum.
"Yo, Yuemin, is this your sister?"
"No, I think it's someone's object!"
Many acquaintances of the drilling team began to ridicule Zhao Yuemin.
Zhao Yuemin had to explain with a dark face:
"My sister, my sister!"
"Your sister? Who believes? ”
"Your sister! My sister! ”
Zhao Yuemin explained there that he was counting on Hu Lin to be able to act with him. If Hu Lin responded generously at this time and cooperated with him, this matter would be over. However, when Hu Lin heard this ridicule, her face turned crimson, her head was lowered, and her hands were twisted together, like a bride entering a new house, and she was silent.
Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
"Yuemin, take your 'sister' to have fun." The good deed said in a smooth tone.
Zhao Yuemin didn't care about it, thinking to himself that I, an advanced individual, could I be ridiculed by you backward masses? He took Hu Lin, like Zhao Zilong in Changbanpo, to fight his way out of the crowd - escape from the crowd.
Zhao Yuemin walked in front, and Hu Lin followed behind like a little tail. Zhao Yuemin became more and more depressed as he walked, if the ridicule just now was put in front of the person he liked, he would definitely accept it all shamelessly. It's just that this Hu Lin is not very old, she is still in high school, and she has not grown up, like a flower bone.
The most important thing is that Hu Lin is the sister of his brother Hu Dong. Hu Dong is a person who especially loves his sister, and there used to be a little hooligan who verbally teased Hu Lin, Hu Dong directly stuffed a lit cannon into the collar of the little hooligan, and it was directly blown up in the dog days, and his heart was flying. Since then, the young people in the town have all stayed away from Hu Lin.
Friends and wives, don't be bullied. Friends and sisters, not ambiguous.
Zhao Yuemin deliberately kept his distance from Hu Lin, he took Hu Lin to look for Hu Dong, but he didn't find it, so he had to take Hu Lin to a state-run restaurant and order two bowls of noodles to eat. However, the state-run hotel happened to run out of cold storage materials in the kitchen, and there was no meat to provide. The two had to order two bowls of somen noodles, and they didn't eat any oil and water, Zhao Yuemin smacked his lips while eating and said that he must make up for oil and water, Hu Lin heard this, but his eyes lit up.
After separating from Hu Lin, Zhao Yuemin returned home and fell asleep with his head down. The next morning, when the sky was bright, a smell wafted from his bedroom window, and he sniffed and sniffed, and found that the fragrance was unusually attractive, or rather, a smell of meat.
He leaned on the window and looked, and in the cold wind, he saw Hu Lin, a girl, holding an aluminum lunch box, standing trembling at the door.
Zhao Yuemin was completely sleepy now, he looked at Hu Lin standing at the door, wanting to knock on the door but not daring to knock, quickly dressed and quickly ran to the door. In the early morning, a young girl blocked the door of her house, this is not for the neighbors to discuss, in case those people from the Little Foot Detective Team come to the door and say that there is something wrong with her life style, how troublesome.
Zhao Yuemin hurriedly ran to the door.
"Hu Lin, why are you here?"
Hu Lin's little face was red from the cold, and when she saw Zhao Yuemin, her eyes showed joy again, and she happily lifted the aluminum lunch box, opened the lid, and showed Zhao Yuemin the greasy eggplant and meat foam in the lunch box.
"Fried eggplant with minced meat?" Zhao Yuemin didn't expect Hu Lin to really do it.
Hu Lin giggled: "I dragged my brother up early in the morning and chopped me up with meat foam." ”
Zhao Yuemin was a little moved in his heart, he looked at the lunch box, and sighed again: "It's so oily!" "What kind of fried meat is this? This is clearly an eggplant soaked in oil.
"Fuel and water for you." Hu Lin lifted the lunch box, and saw that Zhao Yuemin was a little hesitant, and a disappointed look appeared between his eyebrows: "Isn't it delicious?" ”
"It tastes really good, it's good. I'm going to eat it......" In order not to make Hu Lin sad, Zhao Yuemin took the lunch box and pretended to be impatient and shouted exaggeratedly. He stuffed a lunch box of oil into his mouth and swallowed it like a date. After eating, he wiped his mouth, pointed to the bicycle next to him, and said, "Let's go, I'm going to the well team, and I'll send you to school by the way." ”
Hu Lin nodded, put her legs together, sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle, and wanted to wrap her arms around Zhao Yuemin's waist with both hands, but she didn't dare, so she had to hold on to the bicycle saddle.
While pedaling the bicycle, Zhao Yuemin asked Hu Lin:
"What's the class today?"
"Language, history, and mathematics."
"Did you have any homework yesterday?"
"Yes, recite the poems in the textbook, Ke Zhen's "Premier Zhou, Where Are You".
Zhao Yuemin tilted his head and said, "Time flies so fast, Premier Zhou has passed away for one year. You recite it to me. ”
"Okay." Hu Lin cleared his throat, looked at the backward fields on both sides, and recited:
"Premier Zhou, our good premier,
Where are you, where are you?
Do you know that we miss you,
-- Your people miss you!
We shouted to the mountains:
Premier Zhou --
Valley Echo:
'He just departed, he just departed,
The journey of the revolution is thousands of miles,
He strode forward without stopping. ’
We shouted to the earth:
Premier Zhou --
Earth Roars:
'He just departed, he just departed,
You don't see the heavy ears of grain,
Still flashing with the sweat of his hard work......'"
Zhao Yuemin rode his bicycle through the green fields, and Hu Lin sat behind him, reciting poems aloud.
At the beginning, Zhao Yuemin also teased a few sentences of Hu Lin's pronunciation, and then stopped talking and quietly listened to Hu Lin's recitation. In the end, the front of the car turned and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town.
"Why don't you go to school?" Hu Lin said strangely.
Zhao Yuemin turned his head, his eyes were red and said: "I listened to the poem you read, my nose was sour, and I felt uncomfortable. I heard that the supply and marketing cooperatives sell stamps for the first anniversary of Premier Zhou's death, so I bought two sets, one for each of us. ”
Hu Lin nodded, sniffed and lowered his head, "I don't feel good in my heart." ”
Zhao Yuemin sent Hu Lin to the gate of Oilfield No. 1 Middle School, he thought about it and said:
"In the past month, I may have been busy, going to the Jinshui Belt to drill foundation wells with the exploration team. An oil and gas field in the north of Shaohu Town has been discovered, but the distribution and production of oil and gas in the Jinshui area in the south are now unknown. ”
Hu Lin looked a little disappointed, she pursed her lips and said:
"Brother Yuemin, can't I go to play with you?"
"Well, in the last month, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Then I'll cook you another meal before you leave."
"Fried eggplant with minced meat?"
"Hmm."
