Chapter 58 A City Anecdote (37) Seeing my mother-in-law
"The Department of Electronic Computer Science of Beijing University" and the "Iron Blood Group" have been "co-construction units" for many years, and when they came here to listen to the lectures, they naturally took care of the meals of the three people, and they were also in charge of Luo, and walked into the No. 1 canteen of the "Department of Electronic Computers", and the teacher who led the class handed over the three meal cards to the hands of the three soldiers.
'Eat what you like, eat as much as you like, don't be afraid to eat more, just don't waste it!' After saying that, the teacher left.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes in front of him, the battalion secretary walked from beginning to end with great interest, and finally said to Guo Xiaosong and the recruits of the Ninth Company, "People can say, it doesn't matter how much you eat, just don't waste it, the three of us had better not fight the same, so that we can eat more dishes for each other!" ’
Guo Xiaosong and the recruits of the Ninth Company nodded in agreement, took the rice bowls neatly placed on the side, and went, most of these rice bowls are used for turnover, and only students who use iron lunch boxes to cook can go out of the canteen, because there are "Dining Regulations" at the door, and there are administrators guarding the door.
"Hey, Guo Xiaosong, don't eat it yet, I'm looking for you for something!" The speed at which women change their clothes is far beyond the time they take to put on makeup, they broke up with Guo Xiaosong one step ago, and within a few minutes, they changed into a dress and appeared in front of Guo Xiaosong, with a clean ponytail, a red hairpin stuck in their hair, which looked very youthful and beautiful, when Liu Min walked in front of Guo Xiaosong, the three soldiers carefully saw that a faint layer of lipstick was applied to her lips, and as soon as she finished speaking, the aroma of chewing gum emanating from her mouth was inhaled into the noses of the three soldiers. The three of them felt very leisurely and wanted her to say another word.
'I haven't eaten yet, so I won't be able to go later!' As early as during his junior high school and high school studies, there were many girls who confessed to him, and those who took the initiative to say to themselves that she was 'something', would not leave ten. They all want to give them a hug.
'I'll take you out to eat, I'm really in a hurry, you just come with me!' Liu Min stepped forward and snatched the rice bowl from Guo Xiaosong's hand, put it back in its place, and pulled Guo Xiaosong away.
Since the three soldiers had left class early, and a large number of students had not yet come to the cafeteria, the battalion secretary had already seen that there was a ghost between the two, so he shouted loudly, "Hey, classmate Liu." What's so urgent, count me in, Guo Xiaosong is capable, I am just as capable, and I do it better than him! ’
The recruits of the Ninth Company naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, so he just stood aside and smirked, watching Liu Min take Guo Xiaosong out.
As the daughter of the deputy commander of the 'Beijing Garrison', Liu Min grew up in the military compound since she was a child, and her grandfather was the founding general of our army. Uncles and aunts also hold important positions in the army, and the family originally wanted this girl to inherit the glorious tradition of the Liu family to join the army when she grew up, but her aunt Liu Xuehua repeatedly objected. Because only she knows that a girl who has never even walked out of the army compound, if she continues to stay in the army, there are only two ways to live. 'One is to be at peace with what happens, and the other is extremely painful', if Liu Xuehua hadn't been a soldier back then. If she didn't know Guo Kaishan in the army, it was possible that she would have married and had children and lived the life of an ordinary woman, but now she is good, there are nearly forty people, and the woman's unique 'one blood' still exists in her body, and it is impossible for her to lose it in this life.
As my aunt Liu Xuehua imagined, Liu Min, who walked out of the military compound since junior high school, got a good education in the capital, cheerful and helpful, coupled with her unique style of military descendants, no matter where she went, she was diligent and strong, during high school, she was the president of the school's student union, and she has been organizing leadership exercises, so that after she went to college, she was still so good, but she made the same mistake as her aunt Liu Xuehua. Love at first sight', made it difficult for her to extricate herself, Guo Xiaosong's appearance made her young life, another challenge, although Guo Xiaosong's identity is so ordinary, but she recognized that this young man in front of her is her 'first love', even if he still has a girlfriend.
Liu Min's personal feelings have always been buried deep in her heart, Ai Xiaomeng can also be regarded as the school flower in the 'Beijing University Law School', she is another kind of person, she also loves to help people, Ai Xiaomeng values the form more, when Ai Xiaomeng took the initiative to find Liu Min and wanted her to join the 'Chinese Bone Marrow Bank', she was rejected by Liu Min, the reason is that when she can't tell whether joining the organization is good or bad, she will not join vaguely, she has her own ideas and judgment, and she doesn't want to be swayed by others.
The bus at the gate of 'Jingcheng University' was borrowed by Liu Min in order to pull Guo Xiaosong and trust his relationship, in fact, it is not very troublesome, just call his father's secretary.
'Get in the car!' Liu Min opened the door of a military sedan, a gesture that should have been used by men.
Guo Xiaosong didn't get into the car immediately, 'Where are you going?' Don't you have to go to class in the afternoon? ’
'You'll know when you get in the car, I'll treat you to dinner!' Liu Min was still doing the same movements, as if Guo Xiaosong didn't get into the car, and she wasn't ready to take her hand back.
In desperation, Guo Xiaosong had to enter the back seat of the sedan and sit down, and Liu Min also got into the car and closed the door.
'Back to my dad's house!' Liu Min issued an order to the volunteer driver who was driving, and the driver didn't ask anything more, and drove away in the car.
In the family area of the 'Beijing Garrison', most of them are the 'General's Building' built in the fifties and sixties of the last century, but Deputy Commander Liu lives in an ordinary seven-story building, got out of the car, walked up to the third floor, Liu Min took out the key, opened the door, and let Guo Xiaosong walk in.
The layout of three bedrooms and one living room, that is, seventy or eighty square meters, this is a very ordinary house, and the furnishings in the house are similar to Guo Xiaosong's stepfather's house in City A.
The large poster on the wall is hung with the Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars 'Four Heavenly Kings', which may also be the idols that boys and girls worshipped back then, there is a very narrow bed in the room, and the sheets on the bed are all pink, Guo Xiaosong is sure that this should be Liu Min's boudoir.
"You sit down for a while, I'll cook for you, we've known each other for more than a year, let you see how my craft is!" Liu Min put an apron around the dress, and then went to the kitchen to start cooking.
Sibai landed, Guo Xiaosong really didn't want to stay in Liu Min's bedroom anymore, he also walked to the kitchen, "Do you need me to do something!" ’
Liu Min is now peeling potatoes at this time. As soon as he saw Guo Xiaosong coming, he laughed, "With your virtue, what else can you do for me, do you think you are a one-armed god nun!" ’
The bandages hanging are really impossible to work, but Guo Xiaosong is really no stranger to cooking. The three sisters don't like to cook, every time they are with them, Guo Xiaosong cooks for them, looking at Liu Min's neat movements, Guo Xiaosong inevitably wants to praise, "Yes, shredded potatoes can be cut so finely, it seems that they usually do it!" ’
My aunt said that the test of knife skills is to cut shredded potatoes. I'll tell you the truth, in order to practice this craft, I grew up and couldn't cut hundreds of pounds of potatoes. I'll make you shredded potatoes with sharp peppers today, and there are steamed buns from my mother yesterday in the staple food refrigerator! ’
'Your house is so close, do you come home every day?' Guo Xiaosong can analyze it from the wedding photos of Liu Min's father and mother on the wall. She must be the son of a certain leader of the army, otherwise there would be no military vehicle to pick her up.
I don't even have to look in the fridge, my dad has a bad stomach. I can't eat rice, I can only eat steamed buns, I rarely go home, and I go back to my grandfather's house, this is my nightmare, I don't love to go back here when I'm a child! After cutting the shredded potatoes, Liu Min picked up other vegetables, as if she loved to cook very much, and while picking vegetables, she also fiddled with the picked vegetables, and stacked them neatly.
Everyone has their own story, Guo Xiaosong is not a person who likes to inquire, came to the balcony, he pushed open the window, because this is a seven-story building, all the surrounding general buildings, are lower than this building, most of the other buildings are also two to three floors, not far away, Guo Xiaosong saw an old man is watering vegetables, he thinks it is very interesting, a ridge, a ridge with a scoop of water at the same time, as if the old man is still talking about something.
Suddenly, the old man saw Guo Xiaosong standing on the balcony, and shouted at him, 'Hey, who are you, so rude! ’
Guo Xiaosong didn't know how to answer yes, he wanted to close the window, but he felt that it was inappropriate, 'I, I,'
'What am I, you're a corporal, aren't you?' You kid come down for me, I'll talk to you! The old man seemed to have met an 'alien', although his face looked very strict, but Guo Xiaosong found that he seemed to be a little sly.
The old man himself was wearing an officer's 'standard shirt' and an officer's trousers underneath, Guo Xiaosong knew that this might be the head of the army, so he had to prepare to go downstairs to listen to the training.
'Why are you going?' Liu Min also seemed to hear the conversation between the two on the balcony.
'The people below told me to go down!' ’
'Who?' He tells you to go down, you go down, this is my house, I'll see who it is! Liu Min put down the dishes in her hand and pulled Guo Xiaosong to the balcony, and when she just stretched her neck out of the window, the old man spoke again.
"Didn't come down, why don't you use me to go up to you!" ’
As soon as Liu Min saw this old man, his voice was not small, but became louder, "Whoever you let go down will have to listen to you, you still regard yourself as the big chief, you have long since retired Luo, he is my guest, I will let him go down, he will make it, we will not go down, what can you do with us!" ’
The old man filled the scoop in his hand with water and splashed it on the window of Liu Min's balcony, "I knew that you brought it home, see if I don't tell your father, at a young age, you have learned to bring your boyfriend home!" Don't be ashamed! ’
Liu Min already knew that the old man had this hand, and before the water splashed the window, she closed the window, "You care about me, you can control the sky and the earth, and you can also care about shit and fart, dare to love you without grandmen and daughters, so you often play tricks on me, I can tell you old man, I have endured you for a long time!" ’
The old man seemed to hear Liu Min talking loudly on the balcony, "Wow, you have no conscience, if I knew that you are like this, I should have strangled you to death when I was a child!" ’
Liu Min was not ambiguous, she called the window and scolded the old man, 'Strangle me to death, strangle me to death, you have to pay for your life, my grandfather told me, you are not a good bird at all, you are a Kuomintang-Kuomintang, a reactionary!' ’
The scolding upstairs and downstairs attracted the attention of a woman on the fourth floor, only to hear the sound of opening the window, and then the voice of a woman came out, "Is Liu Min at home!" Why are you talking to your master, no big or small! ’
'He's not my lord, my lord is dead, my lord is a martyr!' Liu Min stretched out his head and shouted to the woman upstairs.
'He's not your master, who is he, you weren't the old couple watching you when you were a child!' ’
"Auntie, you don't know, when I was a child, I was in his house, and I suffered a lot, okay, I don't tell you, I still have to cook!" After speaking, Liu Min closed the balcony window.
Guo Xiaosong has been standing behind Liu Min, he thinks that the three generations of the 'old, middle and young' are very interesting, especially as long as someone says a word, Liu Min is about to fight back, just when Liu Min closed the balcony window for a few minutes, Liu Min's door was knocked three times, and the force was quite large.
'Dangdang, little bunny, open the door for me!' Open the door for me! ’
Guo Xiaosong just wanted to open the door, but Liu Min stopped her, she shouted loudly at the door, "Old man, I can tell you today, I don't have time to quarrel with you, I have a guest at home, I have to cook, if you want to make a noise, when I finish eating, I will go to your door to quarrel with you!" ’
The old man at the door, after listening to a few words of Liu Min, not only did he not stop, but he knocked even more fiercely, "If you open the door, if you don't open the door, if you don't open the door, I'm going to kick it!" ’
Liu Min took Guo Xiaosong aside and said, 'You do it first, don't worry about him, he is geriatric syndrome, in the past, in the army, there were soldiers who listened to him, but now that he is old and retired, he will be sick every day, the more you are hypocritical with him, the more he will be faced, let's talk about ours!" ’
The knock at the door continued for more than ten minutes, and after the old man saw that Liu Min did not continue to fight back, he also walked down the stairs, returned to the small vegetable garden in front of his small building, and continued to water his land.
'Shredded potatoes with sharp peppers', 'braised pork ribs', 'tomato and egg soup', plus small pickles pickled by Liu Min's mother, and a few steamed buns were heated in the steamer, Liu Min and Guo Xiaosong sat opposite each other and ate their lunch.
'Isn't it delicious?' Liu Min was like a big chef, watching Guo Xiaosong taste every dish she made, and she didn't move her chopsticks first.
Guo Xiaosong nodded and said, "It's okay, but it's worse than me."
As soon as Liu Min heard this, he stretched out his chopsticks and immediately tasted all the dishes, but he didn't feel that anything was wrong, so he said with a smile, "You don't want to be faced, don't say anything for nothing, don't even say a nice word!" ’
Guo Xiaosong ate a mouthful of food and steamed buns, "I didn't take the initiative to come, you said that there was something, you didn't pull me here, if you didn't have this meal, I wouldn't be hungry, just eat in college!" ’
Looking at Guo Xiaosong's gobbling up, Liu Min's face was filled with rare happiness, she felt that she had matured, matured to the point of being a real woman. (To be continued......)
