Hongli knew that her mother not only lacked confidence in her, but also was afraid of trouble with Su Shihua.

Therefore, in order to prevent Gu Yulan from saying anything else, she lost the work of her eyes, and quickly took over the conversation and said, "Mom, whoever is born will know anything?" I can't study hard after I go! ”

Su Shihua said: "Master Gu, Hongli is right, as long as you study hard, there is nothing you can't learn." ”

Gu Yulan said: "...... well"

She knew in her heart that Hongli was originally floating too much, and it was not possible to really work hard to learn.

However, looking at her daughter and seeing her anxious look, her heart softened, and she had to swallow back the words of refusal.

He changed his words and said, "Dr. Su, what ...... Then I'll listen to you and let Hongli try it. However, she has a poor background and doesn't understand anything about interviews, so I can only trouble you to guide her. Also, if the manager is not satisfied, don't embarrass your classmates. ”

Su Shihua said: "Master Gu, why are you still becoming more and more polite? Actually, the interview is nothing, as long as you show the best stuff. ”

Hongli said, "I know that. ”

Su Shihua asked, "Hongli, do you know how to use a computer?" ”

Hongli said: "I can use it, but I am not familiar with it." ”

Su Shihua said: "Then you have to learn quickly." The current secretary is not familiar with computers. ”

Hongli said, "I'll learn." ”

Listening to Su Shihua talking to Hongli, Gu Yulan thought: "For Hongli, Dr. Su came all the way to this favor...... By the way, it's dark when you see it, and you must leave Dr. Su after eating today. ”

Thinking of keeping guests for dinner, Gu Yulan was inevitably a little nervous:

First, this is the first time the family has entertained guests, and it is still a man;

Second, I don't know if the guests are willing to stay;

Thirdly, it is already dark, it is impossible to buy groceries now, and there are very few things that can be served at home.

Gu Yulan came to the outhouse and thought, "I have to go out and get some good coal first." No matter what you do, you have to make a fire first. ”

After the Gu family's coal is bought, it is placed in a small warehouse, there are two kinds: one is multi-faceted and less, the price is expensive, and the purchase is less, except for using it as a base when starting the fire, and burning it in the days before and after the Spring Festival, it is generally reluctant to use; One kind of piece is less and more noodles, and it is cheaper. Gu Yulan came to the outhouse, she took the former one from the small warehouse today, not only used good coal to lead the kang stove in the outhouse, but also burned the iron stove in the inner room.

Before washing rice, Gu Yulan went outside the house again and brought back a piece of meat from the small warehouse.

The Gu family did not have a refrigerator, and in winter, Gu Yulan put a round iron bucket with a lid, slightly thicker and higher than the bucket, in a small warehouse as a refrigerator.

During the lunch break a few days ago, Chu Yunmei asked her to accompany her to the grocery store, she didn't plan to buy anything, but just in time, there were two pieces of pork tenderloin that were particularly good, Chu Yunmei not only bought one for herself, but also had to buy the other one and send it to Gu Yulan.

Of course, Gu Yulan wouldn't let Chu Yunmei buy her meat, so she rushed to pay for it.

After the meat was bought, only one-tenth of the cabbage slices were fried, and the rest was not willing to eat, so it was put in an iron bucket, and it was just used for Su Shihua to eat today.

Gu Yulan first scooped up rice and water in the outhouse, and then quietly entered the inner room.

Hongli was still talking to Su Shihua about the interview. After Gu Yulan sat down on the stove, she quietly went out.

The dishes are made in the outhouse. The meat was frozen and hard. It took Gu Yulan a lot of effort to cut the shredded meat and slices of meat she wanted.

As soon as he put the knife down, as soon as the door of the inner room opened, he heard Hongli say, "Mom, Dr. Su is leaving." ”

With the words, Su Shihua also came out and said, "Master Gu, I have already told Hongli about Monday's interview, and I will go back." ”

Gu Yulan was a little overwhelmed and said, "Dr. Su, you ...... Can you stay a little longer? ”

Su Shihua was puzzled and asked, "Master Gu, is there something wrong?" You said. ”

Gu Yulan said: "I have already put the rice in the pot, and the dishes can also speak." I want you to stay, can you finish your meal and leave? ”

Although she was sincere in her hospitality, her words did not sound sincere. There are two main reasons for this:

First, she knew that Su Shihua's time was expensive, and she was afraid that Su Shihuaqiang would make him miss if he said something serious;

Second, although the meals were all prepared, she felt that it was too simple to entertain Su Shihua with such meals.

Su Shihua smiled and said, "Master Gu, thank you!" I have something to do today, so I'll stay for dinner when I have the opportunity to come back later! ”

Hongli said: "Will there be a chance in the future? Dr. Sue, how long is it in the future? You're not in a hurry to leave because it's cold at home, are you? ”

Su Shihua said: "It's already dark. It's too much trouble to talk about it. ”

Hongli said: "Since it is already dark, there is no difference between you leaving now and leaving after eating." As for trouble, I don't know if you're afraid of bothering my mom or you? ”

Su Shihua said: "Of course, I'm afraid of bothering your mother." ”

Gu Yulan greeted in a whisper and said, "Hongli ......"

It means to stop Hongli from talking nonsense and not to force guests to stay, but Hongli didn't pay attention to it, but pointed to the things on the cutting board and said, "I'm afraid it's too late." You see, the dishes are ready. Also, the rice is on the stove, and I can smell the fragrance. ”

Su Shihua looked at the rice pot on the stove in the back room from the open door, then turned his face to look at the cut meat on the cutting board, and said, "Master Gu, you ...... It's only been a while, and you're really going to get the meal ready? ”

Gu Yulan said: "The meals are simple and troublesome. Dr. Su, if you don't have anything urgent, you can just have a light meal today and leave! ”

Su Shihua really didn't want to stay for dinner, but in the face of Gu Yulan and Hongli's sincerity, he was afraid that too much refusal would cause the Gu family's mother and daughter to misunderstand, thinking that he looked down on talents and refused to stay, so although he hesitated a little, he still agreed, and said, "Okay, Master Gu, then I'm welcome, I really stayed for dinner." But don't bother. ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's not troublesome, it's all at home." ”

Hongli asked, "Mom, what am I doing?" Do you need me to choose the dish? ”

You can see that she is extremely happy. Gu Yulan said, "No, you go into the room to talk to Dr. Su, and just bring the dishes and chopsticks to the table later." ”

Su Shihua went back to the house.

Gu Yulan lowered her voice, stopped her daughter who was following Su Shihua and was about to enter the back room, and said, "There is a small flower quilt on the quilt. You go to the kang, take down the small flower quilt and spread it on the kang, and let Dr. Su sit on the kang. ”

The little flower quilt is half the size of a mattress, although it is half new and not old, it is very clean, and after Hongli is laid out, she greets and says, "Dr. Su, the kang is hot, my mother let you rest on the kang." ”

Su Shihua said: "No, I'm not tired or cold. ”

Waiting for Hongli to get down from the kang, Su Shihua asked, "Do you still have the textbooks you used when you went to secondary school?" ”

Hongli said, "Yes." ”

Su Shihua said: "Please find out, I want to see." ”

Hongli took out her schoolbag from the small cabinet door of the writing desk, opened it, took out the books inside, held them twice, and handed them to Su Shihua. Su Shihua took the book and sat on the edge of the kang to flip through it.

Hong Liguang put the dishes and chopsticks on the small kang table, and then went to the outhouse.

Gu Yulan asked, "Have you taken all the dishes and chopsticks?" ”

Hongli said, "Take it." ”

Gu Yulan asked, "Why don't you talk to Dr. Su and come out?" ”

Hongli said: "He looked at the textbooks I used when I went to school! ”

After speaking, he lowered his voice and asked, "Mom, does Dr. Su drink?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I don't know. ”

Hongli said: "Didn't you eat with him, why don't you know it?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "When I ate with him, he didn't drink. ”

Hongli asked, "Then are we going to prepare wine?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "It stands to reason that it should be prepared, but ...... If Dr. Su didn't drink, he would ......"

Hongli said: "Mom, there is no man nowadays who can't drink." ”

Gu Yulan said: "Then after a while, I'll buy it when the meal is ready!" ”

Hongli said: "If you wait until you finish the meal and then go to buy it, the food will already be cold when you come back, so I'll go!" ”

Gu Yulan said, "You go...... It's already dark, do you dare to go? ”

Hongli said, "I'll run and run back." ”

Gu Yulan was naturally a little hesitant, and Hongli said: "Mom, it's just dark, and there are many people coming home from work outside, so you just let me go!" ”

Gu Yulan took out 10 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Hongli, saying, "Buy two bottles of beer and a small bottle of orange water." ”

Hongli took the money and asked, "Is two bottles of beer enough?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "It should be enough." ”

Hongli asked, "How do you know?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su is engaged in scientific research, even if he can drink, he will not drink much. ”

really let Gu Yulan say. Su Shihua originally drank three or four bottles of beer, but he either didn't drink it, or drank as little as possible for entertainment or entertainment, and when he exceeded one bottle, he rarely got drunk.

Hongli returned to the back room and quietly took out her down jacket and flashlight. Gu Yulan instructed, saying, "Look at it when you walk." ”

Hongli said, "Mom, how old am I!" Why are you always uneasy? ”

The grocery store where Hongli was going was not far away, in the alley that the Gu family had to pass through every day to go to work and school.

Gu Yulan went to work at the Su family and bought the lunch bread she prepared for herself when she was a child.

The reason why Gu Yulan is wary of this section of the road is mainly because there are no street lights, and every once in a while, there are either drunkards in the vicinity, or men follow women.

Especially last year, the women's toilet was peeped at twice in a row, which made this section of the road and the surrounding area even more frightening.

It is estimated that Hongli should come back, and Gu Yulan is inevitably anxious. At this moment, Hongli entered the door panting. Gu Yulan whispered and asked, "Ran back?" ”

Hongli said: "I was scared when I ran into a dog. ”

Gu Yulan said: "The dishes are ready, you warm your hands and serve them on the table!" ”

Gu Yulan entered the back room, and saw that Su Shihua was still reading the textbooks that Hongli had studied, and she said, "Dr. Su, why didn't you go to the kang to rest?" ”

Su Shihua raised his head and said, "Master Gu, I'm not tired. ”

Gu Yulan said: "The rice is ready. ”

Su Shihua put down the book and said, "Why is it so fast!" ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's all home-cooked food, and it's not troublesome. ”

Hongli had already mixed warm water in the basin at this time. Su Shihua was about to sit on the edge of the kang after washing his hands, Gu Yulan said, "Dr. Su, it's hot on the kang, you ...... You should go to the kang and sit in the kang! ”

Su Shihua said: "No, I'll just sit on the edge of the kang." ”

Hongli said: "Dr. Su, you are a guest, how can you sit on the edge of the kang!" Besides, if you sit on the edge of the kang, where do I sit? ”

Su Shihua saw that the mother and daughter of the Gu family were very sincere, so he no longer shirked, took off his shoes and went to the kang, and sat down with his back to the window.
