At this time, Gu Yulan went to the outhouse. Taking advantage of her mother's absence, Hongli lowered her voice and said, "I said the same thing to my mother, but my mother is an old brain and can't listen to it at all." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yulan had already come in with a white cloth bag that was slightly thinner than a bucket and taller than half a bucket.

She first placed the white cloth bag on the desk, then took the kettle off the stove and placed the spoon on the fire. Seeing that the bottom of the big spoon was dry, he turned around and opened the white cloth bag, put his hands in it, and waited for the contents to be taken out, and saw that it was sunflower seeds, Su Shihua stopped it and said, "Master Gu, don't bother!" ”

Before the words fell, I only heard a beep, and the sunflower seeds in Gu Yulan's hand fell into the big spoon. After that, I held two more. When she turned it with a spatula, Gu Yulan said: "The sunflower seeds are grown by yourself, and the fire is ready-made, so it is not troublesome." ”

Su Shihua turned his gaze to the window, looked at it and asked, "Plant your own...... It's in the small courtyard in front, right? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Yes." ”

Fried sunflower seeds have to be fried over a slow fire, but the stove is very hot for a while, so Gu Yulan has to put the big spoon on the fire for a while, and then pick it up again, cover the stove lid, and then sit the big spoon on the stove lid. That's it, after a lot of tea, the sunflower seeds are fried.

Hongli had already brought the plates from the kitchen. Gu Yulan poured the fried sunflower seeds on a plate. Hongli carried the plate full of sunflower seeds and placed it on the small kang table.

Gu Yulan said, "Dr. Su, you can taste it." ”

Su Shihua grabbed more than a dozen in his hand, looked at them and said, "Master Gu, the sunflower seeds you planted are really big." ”

Indeed, the sunflower seeds planted by Gu Yulan are not only large in grain and full of seeds, but also carefully selected during the autumn harvest, and there is no insect eye.

Su Shihua took a few snorts and said, "The heat is just right." ”

Hongli said: "My mother is the best at frying sunflower seeds." ”

Su Shihua looked around while snorting and asked, "Master Gu, this house has been in this house for many years, right?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I heard that it was built in five or seven years. ”

Su Shihua asked: "Isn't it cold to only have such a stove in winter?" Gu Yulan said: "It's not cold. There is also a fire kang, which I am used to. ”

Hongli suddenly interjected and said, "My mother didn't tell the truth. She had to watch the stove burn until eight or nine o'clock every night, and she woke up in the middle of the night! ”

Su Shihua smiled and said, "Master Gu, it seems that Hongli's words are closer to the truth. ”

Gu Yulan said: "Hongli...... She's afraid of the cold. ”

Su Shihua looked at it for a while and said, "The reason why this house is cold is that the house is too old, the second is that the walls are thin, and the third is that the cold protection on the ceiling may not be done well." ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's old. ”

Su Shihua stood up from the edge of the kang. There was a window on the north wall, and he came to the window and stretched out his hand to try it, and said, "There is also this window, which is not very tight, and the glass is a single layer, and the wind coming in from here alone can reduce the temperature in the house by several degrees." If the problem of air entering the window is solved, the house can be much warmer. ”

Gu Yulan said: "The window ...... I've nailed clear plastic sheeting to the outside of the window. ”

Su Shihua said: "The plastic sheet is good at blocking the wind and poor against the cold, so it can't be used alone." Also, the plastic sheeting is nailed to the window frame, but the gap is between the window frame and the wall, and the plastic sheeting has little effect on the wind coming through these gaps. ”

Hongli asked, "Su ...... Dr. Sue, what the hell should I do? ”

Su Shihua said: "It is better to seal the entire window with insulation. ”

Back on the edge of the kang, Su Shihua sat for a few more minutes before leaving.

Gu Yulan and Hongli sent him outside the courtyard all the time. Because there were very few taxis on the gravel road in front of the door, Gu Yulan pointed Su Shihua into the alley.

Gu Yulan was still closing the door in the back, and Hongli had already run back to the house. The first thing she opened was the large cardboard box that Su Shihua had brought, and took out the doll inside.

As soon as Gu Yulan entered the inner door, Hongli almost shouted, "Mom, look! What a big doll! ”

But seeing the doll's blonde pink skirt, it is half a meter high, alive, not only beautiful, but also elf, Hongli is standing on the kang.

Gu Yulan said: "How old are you, and you are happy to see a doll like this." I'm not afraid of other people's jokes. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, there are only two of us in this family, how can there be anyone else?" Ever since I was a child, I have only had a small rag doll, and I have long wanted to have a big doll. ”

Indeed, Hongli had very few toys when she was a child, and the only little rag doll she bought was bought by her grandmother.

Gu Yulan sat on the edge of the kang, sighed, and said, "I don't know how much it costs to buy this big doll?" ”

Hongli said: "Mom, such a doll is precious. ”

Gu Yulan said: "Look again, what are in those two bags." ”

What Su Shihua brought was a cardboard box and two large tote bags. The cardboard box contained the doll, and she had already seen it, and when she heard her mother say this, Hongli carefully put the doll into the box again.

After that, I opened a handbag, took one out of it, looked at it and put it on the kang, and said, "Mom, these are nutritional products." ”

He took out another one, looked at it, put it on the kang, and said, "These are delicious." ”

Finally, he took out an iron box, looked at it for a long time, and said, "Mom, guess what's in it?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Such a beautiful box...... What is it? ”

"It's chocolate," she said. ”

Then he opened the box. Gu Yulan said: "So much! ”

Hongli said: "It's like a handicraft, how can this be eaten!" ”

Each piece of chocolate has a delicate pattern on it, and it really can't bear to put it in your mouth.

Gu Yulan said: "I don't know ...... in that bag"

Hongli opened another handbag, and the first thing she took out was a square box, and before she could look at it, she exclaimed, "It's cosmetics!" ”

Gu Yulan took the box, only to see that in addition to a few delicate bottles, there were lipstick, eye shadow, mascara, nail polish and makeup tools, she said, "This is a set." ”

Hongli took the box back, picked up this one to see, pinched that one to see, and said, "It's imported, famous brand." Mom, give me this set of cosmetics! ”

The cosmetics used by Hongli before were similar to those used by Gu Yulan, only cheap sachet skin cream. She has long been looking forward to having a complete set of high-end cosmetics like Xiaoqian and Caixia.

Gu Yulan said: "Mom doesn't need it, who won't you give it to?" ”

Hongli said: "Mom, if you go to the interview again, you don't have to worry about not having cosmetics." ”

Gu Yulan asked, "Have you taken out all the things in the handbag?" ”

Hongli put down the cosmetics in her hand, and took out a cardboard box nearly 30 centimeters long, more than 10 centimeters wide, and a few centimeters thick from the handbag.

Gu Yulan asked, "What is it?" ”

Hongli was surprised and said, "It's a glove." ”

When she opened the box and saw the gloves, Hongli jumped up and said, "Mom, it's leather." You see, it's much better than Xiaoqian and Caixia. ”

Gu Yulan took the gloves. Hongli took the opportunity to put a piece of the cake that Su Shihua bought into her mouth.

The gloves are milky white, not only good-looking, bright and shiny, but also soft, and the small wool ears inside are as white as snow, which is indeed a good thing.

Hongli said, "Mom, I want this glove." ”

Gu Yulan said: "Mom can't wear such gloves. ”

Hongli put on her gloves, held them up diagonally, and said, "Mom, you see, it's just like the one that was made for me - not big, not small, not loose or tight—just right." ”

Gu Yulan said: "Such good gloves, plus ...... I don't know how much Dr. Su will have to spend on these things. ”

Hongli said: "Gotta flowers...... Mom, how did you know Dr. Su? Why did he buy you so many good things? Also, just now Dr. Su said that you went to help him every day on those two weekends, what the hell is going on? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su...... He had just returned from England this spring and was working in the building where his mother had swept the floor. In the autumn divided the new house. I just went to help clean up the house on those two weekends. ”

Hongli said, "Why are you going to help him?" Is he begging you? Also, if you help, you can help, why do you lie to me that I am working overtime? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Lie to you...... Mom said that because she was afraid that you would be worried. ”

Hongli said: "Worried? What kind of heart? How can I do you help others...... Mom, you must be hiding something from me. ”

Gu Yulan said: "I ...... How do you know? ”

Hongli said: "You won't hide it, the lie is already unnatural on your face before you get out." Mom, you haven't said it yet, how did you meet Dr. Su? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su's office is in my area. ”

Hongli said: "Even if Dr. Su's office is in your area of responsibility, that's not a reason to know!" You've been working in research institutes for so many years, and you haven't met anyone who is engaged in scientific research. Besides, even if you know each other and don't have a deep relationship, why would he ask you to help clean up the house? ”

Gu Yulan said: "He didn't look for me, I found him." ”

Hongli said, "You are looking for him?" I finally look forward to the rest day, why do I still rush to help others? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Mom ...... the reason"

She never expected Su Shihua to come, but she didn't lie, and considering that many days had passed since she fell from the ladder, Hongli wouldn't worry anymore even if she knew, so she told Hongli how she fell off the ladder, how she was rescued, how Su Shihua was injured, and later helped the Su family clean up the house.

Hongli was stunned for a moment, and forgot to take off the gloves she was wearing on her hands.
