Gu Yulan asked, "Writing?" What is written? ”

Hongli said: "I forgot, I wrote it casually." ”

Gu Yulan said, "Oh my God! You can't ...... even if you don't help clean it up What would Dr. Su think if he saw you writing on it? ”

"He probably thought he was too lazy," Hongli said. ”

Gu Yulan shook her head and said, "He's not lazy, he doesn't have time." ”

Hongli asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "A lazy man will not become a scientist. ”

Hongli said, "Mom, do you think this will work?" I'll delay him, and I'll make up for him. ”

Gu Yulan asked, "How can you make up for it?" ”

Hongli said: "Help him clean up the kitchen and make him lunch." ”

Gu Yulan said: "You can clean up the kitchen and cook...... What will you do? ”

Hongli said, "I can fry eggs." ”

Gu Yulan shook her head and said, "Just let Dr. Su eat fried eggs?" Besides, the fried eggs you make are either salty or light, and sometimes they are tender on the outside and charred on the inside, why should Dr. Su eat them? ”

Hongli asked, "Mom, what are you going to do tonight?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Fried shredded potatoes." ”

Hongli said: "Today you guide, I will do it, okay?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Yulan to say yes or no, she took out two goose-egg-sized potatoes from the cardboard box placed under the desk. When Gu Yulan went to Xiaocangzi to get the meat back from the iron bucket, Hongli was pressing a peeled potato with her left hand and gesturing on the cutting board with a knife in her right hand! Gu Yulan reminded: "Be careful, don't cut your hands. ”

Hongli asked, "Mom, is this ...... What's the going to do with this? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Haven't you seen me cut potatoes before? ”

Hongli said: "I've seen it many times, but ...... But I didn't pay attention. ”

Gu Yulan took the knife with her right hand, then pressed the potato with her left hand, and said, "The fingers should be bent into sharp angles, just like that, and then use the blade of the knife to stick to the joint, and when cutting, it is a little back, and the knife will follow a little forward." The less you retreat, the finer the shredded potatoes will be. The knife should be upright. Remember: always hold the potato down with your hand. ”

After speaking, he cut more than a dozen slices, and then cut the slices into shreds. Hongli took the knife and cut it like Gu Yulan. It's a pity that Hongli took a lot of effort, and the potato slices cut out were either thin or thick, even if the same slice was unevenly thick. Therefore, the shredded potatoes cut out can be imagined.

Hongli said: "Mom, I think you cut it very easily, why are you disobedient to the knife and potatoes in my hand?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's like this at the beginning, just cut a few more times." ”

Hongli said, "If Dr. Su saw the shredded potatoes cut like this, maybe he would be a joke!" ”

Gu Yulan said: "That's not necessarily. However, it's true that the shredded potatoes you cut are not easy to make. ”

Hongli asked, "Why is it not easy to do?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "The thickness is uneven, the fine ones are cooked, and the coarse ones are still raw." If it is cooked, it will be broken if it is fried, and if it is not fried, it cannot be eaten. ”

Hongli asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Don't say it, under the guidance of her mother, Hongli not only fried the shredded potatoes, but also looked very good and smelled very fragrant.

Gu Yulan had already set up the small kang table.

Hongli put the shredded potatoes on the plate, and as soon as she brought it to the table, she hurriedly put a spoon into her mouth, and after only a few chews, she shouted, "Okay, delicious." ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's the first time to be able to do this, it's good. ”

Hongli asked, "Mom, do you remember when you were the first time you made shredded potatoes?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Sixteen or seventeen years old. ”

Hongli asked, "Did I do a good job?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "No. There was no meat and little oil. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, I already know how to fry shredded potatoes, and you will teach me to make something else tomorrow." ”

Gu Yulan said: "This is called a meeting? ”

Hongli said, "Isn't this called a meeting? ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's still early to leave the meeting!" ”

Hongli asked, "Mom, what's the difference?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Although shredded potatoes are the most common home-cooked dishes, it is not easy to make them well. First of all, it has to be cut finely and evenly. Also, the shredded potatoes should be soaked in cold water for two hours. ”

Hongli asked, "Why do you want to soak for so long?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "There is starch in potatoes, and soaking them in water for a long time is to soak out the starch inside, so that the shredded potatoes are strong, have a good taste, and are not easy to break." ”

Hongli said: "No wonder today's shredded potatoes are a little sticky." It turned out that the soaking time was short. ”

Gu Yulan said: "There are many things that look simple, but it is not easy to do them well. ”

With the roast duck at noon, Hongli was not very hungry, but because today's shredded potatoes were made by herself, she actually ate a lot. Seeing that her daughter was eating sweetly, Gu Yulan asked, "You didn't eat at noon, did you?" ”

Hongli said vaguely: "Eat." ”

Gu Yulan asked, "What are you eating?" ”

Hongli said, "A loaf of bread." ”

Gu Yulan instructed: "It's time to go to work, always outside, and you must eat enough at noon, no matter how good or bad it is." ”

After eating, Gu Yulan was busy going to the outhouse to draw the kang stove, and Hongli cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and the small kang table.

When Gu Yulan returned to the back room, Hongli was polishing her leather shoes. Gu Yulan greeted and said, "Hongli, you put on your down jacket and go out with your mother." ”

Hongli asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Gu Yulan said, "Go and call Dr. Su." Mom, why do you think it's inappropriate for you to go to Dr. Su's house? ”

Hongli became anxious when she heard this, and said, "Mom, what are you doing here?" ”

Gu Yulan said, "Just tell Dr. Su that you have found a place to study computers. ”

Hongli said, "This is not a lie! ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's not a lie, you can go to the Internet café tomorrow." ”

Hongli said, "Go to the Internet café? Didn't you say that there were a lot of people in the Internet café, and girls couldn't go to that place, so why did you let me go again? ”

Gu Yulan said, "I'll go with you." ”

Hongli said, "You go with me?" You're not going to work tomorrow? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Tomorrow...... I was confused, and I thought I would have a holiday tomorrow! Tomorrow...... I still have to go to work tomorrow. ”

Hongli said, "Isn't this the end. You can't be separated, why do you accompany me to the Internet café? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Isn't it okay to start practicing the day after tomorrow?" ”

Hongli said: "It's too late from tomorrow, how can you wait until the day after tomorrow!" ”

Gu Yulan lifted the kettle and added coal to the stove. But just when Hongli was secretly happy, thinking that her mother had acquiesced to her going to Su's house, Gu Yulan picked up the down jacket.

Hongli asked, "Mom, what are you doing?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "If you don't go, I'll go by myself." ”

Hongli hurriedly grabbed Gu Yulan's half-worn clothes and said, "Mom, you...... Am I your own? ”

Gu Yulan was stunned and said, "Of course I was born." ”

Hongli said: "What's different from my own mother? ”

Gu Yulan asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Hongli said: "Xiaoqian's mother spent thousands of dollars in order to find a job for her. Caixia's mother not only spent money to find a job for Caixia, but also accompanied others to play mahjong. But you ......"

At this point, tears have flowed.

"One more day of practice, the more certainty you have. I finally told Dr. Su that I was okay, and he agreed, but you didn't...... Dr. Su is willing to help me, why don't you help me? ”

Gu Yulan sighed softly and said, "Mom doesn't help you, it's ...... I don't want to affect Dr. Su because of our business. ”

Hongli said: "When I go to work for him tomorrow, I am the only one who stays at his house to study, how can it affect him?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Even if it doesn't affect tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow?" ”

Hongli said: "The day after tomorrow...... I learned from mine the day after tomorrow, he was busy with him, and he didn't have much influence. ”

Gu Yulan said: "At noon, he will definitely have to spend time buying you food." ”

Hongli said, "I bring my own bread. ”

Gu Yulan said: "When I went to his house to work, I used to bring bread, but he didn't let me eat it, so I went to the restaurant and bought it back. ”

Hongli said, "Why don't you ...... Why don't I cook for him tomorrow at noon? ”

Gu Yulan shook her head and said, "No, the shredded potatoes you fried are still far from being made!" ”

Hongli said, "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "You listen to your mother, you will read at home tomorrow, and your mother will accompany you to the Internet café the day after tomorrow." ”

Hongli said: "Mom, I can't delay anything tomorrow." One more day of practice will give me more certainty, so you might as well let me go. It will certainly not cause trouble for Dr. Su. ”

Gu Yulan thought for a long time, and then took off the down jacket that had been put on one sleeve and said, "Since you must go, my mother has two things to tell you." ”

Hong Liqiang held back the joy in her heart, and still asked with the original expression on her face, "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "First, learn as much as you can, go early and return early, don't affect Dr. Su." ”

Hongli said, "I understand. ”

Gu Yulan said: "Second, help him clean the kitchen." ”

Hongli said: "I'll clean up, and I should rest when I do that little work." ”

Just now, Hongli asked Gu Yulan, "Am I your own child?" He also talked about how much Xiaoqian and Caixia's mothers have paid for their daughters.

There are two main reasons why she asks and says this:

First, I want to make Gu Yulan realize that she has paid too little for her daughter through the comparison between her mother and her mother;

The second is influenced by the previous conversation with Xiaoqian and Caixia - Xiaoqian and Caixia first met Gu Yulan last summer. At that time, Hongli invited two good friends to come to the house to play, and it happened to be a Sunday, so Gu Yulan made lunch to entertain the guests. Because I made an appointment to watch a movie in the afternoon, the three of us left together after eating.

As soon as she entered the alley, Caixia said that she had seen a lot of her classmates' mothers, but no one could compare with Aunt Gu in terms of being young and beautiful.

Xiao Qian asked Gu Yulan's age and Hongli's birthday carefully. Hongli naturally knows everything. As a result, Xiaoqian calculated and concluded at that time that Aunt Gu was pregnant at the age of sixteen and gave birth to Hongli at the age of seventeen.

Therefore, Xiaoqian and Caixia not only made all kinds of speculations about Gu Yulan's sixteen-year-old pregnancy, but also seriously scrutinized the reasons why three generations of people have the surname Gu and Hongli have never seen their father.

In the end, Hongli concluded: "You may have been adopted." ”

Hongli knew that these two good friends were joking, of course she didn't believe it at the time, but for some reason, there was still a trace of doubt in her heart.

The reason why Gu Yulan didn't want Hongli to go to Su's house and finally agreed to her to go, Hongli cried anxiously was naturally a reason, and it was also a reason why she had more confidence in her work if she studied for one more day.

However, these two reasons are not the main ones. The real reason was that Gu Yulan believed Hongli's words that there was not much interference with Su Shihua.

If she knew that Hongli had a plan with Xiaoqian and Caixia at noon, she would say that she would not let Hongli go to Su's house again.
