For today's city people, whether it is a fire kang or a small kang table, it is too far away from life.

The kang has long been replaced by Simmons, and the small kang table has long been replaced by a large dining table. However, Su Shihua was not only no stranger to the fire kang and the small kang table, but also felt very kind.

As soon as Su Shihua sat down, Hongli was surprised as if she had discovered a new continent, and asked, "Dr. Su, will you cross your legs?" ”

Su Shihua said, "Yes." ”

Hongli asked, "Why are you cross-legged?" ”

Su Shihua said: "When I was a child, I grew up in the countryside, and I used a small kang table for eating and writing. ”

Hongli said, "Dr. Su, you grew up in the countryside? ”

Su Shihua said, "Yes." ”

Hongli asked, "How can I go to England when I grew up in the countryside?" ”

Gu Yulan was already sitting on the edge of the kang, afraid that her daughter would ask so deeply, so she interrupted and said, "Hongli, where is the wine?" ”

Hongli stuck out her tongue and went to the outhouse. After the wine was bought, she put it on the cupboard. Soon, Hongli returned from the outhouse with two bottles of beer and a small bottle of orange water.

Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su, I don't know if you like to drink liquor or beer? ”

Su Shihua said: "I don't drink. ”

Gu Yulan said: "The beer is small, you ...... Can't you drink a little more? ”

Su Shihua said: "Master Gu, I am indeed not used to drinking. ”

Gu Yulan just wanted to say, "Dr. Su, if you don't drink, then drink orange water!" It's just that before she could speak, Hongli had already rushed ahead and said, "I can still drink half a bottle of beer!" Dr. Su, you have been to many places and met many people, how can you not drink? ”

Hearing Hongli say this, Gu Yulan thought, "When did you learn to drink?" Wine is both a good thing and a bad thing, and Dr. Su naturally has a reason not to drink it, and he should not be forced to do so. ”

Su Shihua saw what the Gu family's mother and daughter said and did, and thought: "It can be seen that the Gu family's mother and daughter are very sincere. If nothing else, I shouldn't refuse too much for this sincerity. ”

So he said, "Okay, then I'll have a drink." ”

Hearing Su Shihua's agreement, Hongli hurriedly walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the Qizi from inside, and opened the beer bottle cap.

Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su, there is no wine glass at home, so I have to let you use the bowl." ”

She originally wanted to obey Su Shihua's wishes, he didn't drink and didn't let him drink, but seeing that he agreed under Hongli's persuasion, it was naturally difficult to stop him.

Su Shihua said: "What you drink is wine, and it is the same with a cup and a bowl. ”

Hongli began to pour wine into the bowl in front of Su Shihua, and when the bowl was full, she put down the bottle.

Su Shihua asked, "Master Gu, don't you drink with Hongli?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I won't drink it. ”

Su Shihua said: "Just now Hongli said that she can drink half a bottle, just right, the remaining half bottle of wine will be given to Hongli!" ”

Hongli said, "I don't drink it." ”

Su Shihua asked, "Why?" ”

Hongli said: "My mother won't let me." ”

Su Shihua asked, "Why?" ”

Hongli said: "My mother said that girls drink alcohol and make people laugh. ”

Su Shihua smiled and said, "Really? In that case, I don't dare to let you. ”

Hongli said, "I drink juice with my mother. ”

As he spoke, he opened the bottle of orange water, poured half of it into the bowl in front of Gu Yulan, and then poured the remaining half into his own bowl.

Across the small kang table, Hongli was in the west, Gu Yulan was in the east, and both of them sat sideways on the edge of the kang.

Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su, if you taste it, I don't know if what I make is delicious?" ”

When he was about to put down the dishes, Su Shihua saw that there were four dishes on the table: a plate of sauerkraut and fried meat; a plate of fried meat with fungus; a plate of fried peanuts; A plate of fried french fries.

Su Shihua thanked him and put a spoonful of sauerkraut fried meat in his mouth. Seeing that he chewed slowly for a long time without speaking, Gu Yulan apologized and said, "Dr. Su, sauerkraut...... You may not like it, or ...... Let's eat something else! ”

Su Shihua shook his head and said, "Master Gu, I've wanted to eat sauerkraut-fried meat like this for many years. ”

Hongli's eyes widened and asked, "How many years?" You...... You also want to think when you're abroad? ”

Su Shihua said: "Yes." ”

Hongli asked: "There are so many delicious foods abroad, why do you still want to eat sauerkraut?" ”

"Because it's irreplaceable," Su Shihua said. ”

Hongli said: "Sauerkraut fried meat is not delicious!" ”

Su Shihua said: "Isn't it delicious? He shook his head and continued, "Maybe I used to eating when I was a child." ”

Gu Yulan said, "Dr. Su, if you like it, you can ...... Just eat more. ”

Su Shihua said, "Master Gu, thank you!" Then I'm really welcome! ”

Hongli asked, "Dr. Su, do you like to eat steak?" ”

Su Shihua said: "I like it." ”

Hongli asked, "Do you think the steak is delicious or the sauerkraut stir-fried meat is delicious?" ”

Su Shihua smiled and said, "It's all delicious." ”

Hongli said, "What if you choose one of the two? ”

Su Shihua said: "I choose sauerkraut and stir-fried meat. ”

Listening to what Su Shihua said, Hongli also put a spoonful of sauerkraut fried meat into her mouth, and before she could swallow it, she said, "Mom, is this sauerkraut fried meat?" Why is it different from what you used to do? ”

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

Hongli said: "The sour taste is half less, and the fragrance is half more." ”

No wonder Hongli said differently. Although there is meat in the sauerkraut stir-fried meat that Gu Yulan usually makes, the meat is always less sporadically.

Today's sauerkraut fried meat is completely different, not only the shredded meat is one-third, but the sauerkraut is also selected in the middle of the cabbage sum and the outer layer of the gang that are not old and tender, white and crispy, after stir-frying, it is actually sour and fragrant, fragrant and sweet, and has no taste.

Although this meal was a very ordinary home-cooked meal, Su Shihua ate it very sweetly.

Only one bottle of beer was drunk.

After eating, as soon as Gu Yulan put away all the tableware, Hongli put a glass of boiled water on the small kang table in front of Su Shihua.

Su Shihua first said repeatedly: "Thank you!" ”

Then he raised his face, looked at the ceiling, and asked, "Hongli, do you read at night when you go to school?" ”

Hongli said, "Look. ”

Su Shihua asked, "This light is too dim, doesn't it tire your eyes?" ”

Gu's home is a 25-watt incandescent lamp.

Hongli said: "I told my mother several times and urged her to change to fluorescent lights, but my mother just didn't take it to heart." ”

Su Shihua shook his head and said, "You may have misunderstood your mother, it's not that she doesn't take it to heart, but she doesn't want to ask for help." ”

Hongli asked, "How do you know?" ”

Su Shihua said: "I can see it. ”

Hongli went to the outhouse.

Su Shihua thought: "The lights in the Gu family are dim and unsafe, and it is true that Master Gu is reluctant to ask for help, but since I have seen it, I can't pretend that I haven't seen it, and I should take the time to change the wires and lights in a few days." ”

Indeed, Gu Yulan had long known that the lights and wires should be replaced, and the reason why she didn't do it was mainly due to two reasons: first, Su Shihua had already thought that she had to use an electrician to change the lights, but she didn't want to ask for help; The second is that she has already gone to the store to ask, even if she buys the cheapest lamps and lanterns, plus the wires, it will cost more than 100 yuan, and the salary she earns is not only to repay the debt as planned, but the rest is barely enough to cope with the living expenses of the mother and daughter, and it is difficult to squeeze out this 100 yuan.

After a short time, Hongli returned to the inner room from the outhouse, and when the door was closed, she asked Su Shihua and said, "Dr. Su, the interview the day after tomorrow, there is another day tomorrow, what do you say I should review?" ”

Su Shihua said: "There is no need to review, knowledge all depends on accumulation. Especially in interviews, the things that are reviewed may not be useful. ”

Hongli lowered her voice and asked, "Dr. Su, do you have a computer at home?" ”

Su Shihua said: "Yes." ”

Hongli said, "I want to ask you for something. ”

Su Shihua asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Hongli said: "Now being a secretary is inseparable from a computer. But I ...... Although I have learned, I have used it less, practiced less, and I can't meet my needs at all. During the interview, if I was asked to use the computer to check the information or print the materials, I would have to smash the pot. Dr. Su, I ...... I want to go to your house tomorrow to learn computers, I don't know if it's convenient or not? ”

Su Shihua thought to himself: "Of course Hongli wants to learn computers, but ......

First, although she will not go to work tomorrow, she has work to do and problems to study, and if she is promised to come to study at home, her plans will inevitably be affected;

Second, Hongli is already a big girl, and it is not appropriate to be alone with her, and she is at home—it seems that I have to find an excuse to refuse her. ”

Hence the saying, "Convenient...... It's convenient, it's just ......."

He is not good at making up lies, and he will inevitably hesitate when he speaks, so Hongli didn't wait for him to finish before he hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”

Su Shihua said: "I may have something to do tomorrow, I have to go out." ”

Hongli asked, "Is it a day out?" ”

Su Shihua said: "Not necessarily. ”

Hongli said, "Dr. Su, do you think this will work?" I'll go to your house tomorrow morning, and if you go out, I'll wait, and if you don't, I'll study for a while before you go out. ”

Su Shihua said: "Yes, yes, I'm afraid that the time you spend on the road will be longer than the time spent on studying, which will delay you." ”

Hongli said, "No." If you study for an hour, you will learn for an hour. If I don't go, I'll be in a hurry at home and I won't be able to do anything. ”

Su Shihua thought that he would give up as soon as he said that Hongli would have something to do tomorrow, but he didn't expect it...... I thought to myself: "If you insist on not allowing it, it will definitely hurt her self-esteem." Actually, it's a good thing that Hongli wants to study, and it is really necessary for her to practice using the computer, and I should help her. As for being alone with her in your own home, is there any ...... As long as you are above board, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. ”

Because he understood this verse, coupled with his inherent narrow-mindedness, he agreed, saying, "All right! Since you're really interested in learning, you're going to my house tomorrow! ”

Hongli was very happy and said, "Really? ”

Su Shihua said: "Of course it's true. ”

Hongli said, "Shall I arrive at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning?" ”

Su Shihua said, "Okay." ”

Hongli lowered her voice a little lower and said, "Dr. Su, since you promised me to go to your house to study, there is one thing that you have to keep secret for me. ”

Su Shihua asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Hongli said: "Just go to your house to learn about computers, don't tell my mother about it for a while." ”

Su Shihua asked, "Why?" ”

Hongli said: "If you say it first, my mother is afraid that I will disturb you, and she can't let me go if she says anything." ”

Su Shihua knew that Hongli was telling the truth, and agreed: "Okay." I don't say. Can...... The question is, if you don't tell your mother where you're going when you go out tomorrow, won't your mother worry? ”

Hongli said, "Of course I have to tell my mother before I go out tomorrow." Actually, I don't have to wait until tomorrow, I can tell her when you're gone. ”

Su Shihua asked: "Why can't I say it before I leave, but I can say it after I leave?" ”

Hongli said: "If you say it before you leave, my mother will definitely find a reason and tell you directly that I won't go tomorrow." After you leave, she just didn't want me to go, so she had to let me go. ”

Su Shihua asked, "Why is this?" ”

Hongli said: "She never broke her trust in others, nor did she let me lose her trust in others. ”

Su Shihua nodded and said, "I understand." ”

The reason why Hongli went to the Su family with all her heart was that learning computers was only one of the purposes, and she also wanted to see what the Su family was like.

Su Shihua waited for Gu Yulan to return to the inner room after washing the dishes in the outhouse before saying goodbye to her. When it was dark, Gu Yulan wanted to bring him the flashlight, but he said that he was not afraid of the dark and did not take it.
