Chapter 19: Lan Lan

When Zhang Pingping heard Xiaotian calling her mother, she couldn't help crying with joy, and hurriedly said, "I'll be back in the next two days, and your father didn't tell you?" I made it to the 30th, and tomorrow I will go to settle the salary, buy a train ticket, and come back in two days. ”

"Oh, that's good." When Xiao Tian heard that his mother would come back in two days, he was calm on the surface, but he was extremely happy in his heart. Eyebrows raised, a smile on his face.

Xiaotian said goodbye to his mother, took the phone and returned to the stove house, and saw that Huzi was chatting happily with his father, smiled wryly, and sat down next to Huzi. Wu Sifu saw Xiaotian with a smile on his face, and estimated that the resentment in his heart had disappeared, so he didn't ask in front of Huzi.

Three men cook lunch around the bright red stove. Xiao Tian had a whim, went to the firewood house and took out some red lotus and Ma Ling potatoes, and prepared to put them in the firewood to simmer.

Wu Sifu hurriedly took the red lotus and the potato from Xiao Tian's hand, turned around and washed them with water, and wiped off the water vapor with a towel one by one before handing them to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian took the red lotus and Ma Ling potato from Wu Sifu's hand, and quipped: "This is one more move." ”

Lunch was cooked quickly. Xiaotian brought a bamboo table and put it by the stove, ready to cook while eating. Wu Sifu brings the dish to the table:

stewed pork ribs with white radish, the lean meat on the ribs is thick, and the green green onions float on the soup dots; A large pot of stewed pork belly, pig heart and lungs, pig intestine, etc., with a pinch of chopped garlic sprouts on the surface, exuding an attractive fragrance;

A plate of stir-fried pork liver, the pork liver is dark red, the sour chili pepper and sour radish are bright red, the green garlic sprouts loom in the pork liver and sauerkraut, and the air immediately wafts with a spicy sour taste; There is also a plate of fried lean pork with cabbage root, and the red bean paste contrasts with the tender white cabbage root.

Huzi looked at the home-cooked food on the bamboo table, swallowed his saliva, and praised exaggeratedly: "I can't see it, Uncle Wu's craftsmanship can be called a five-star chef!" ”

"Peasant dishes can't be put on the table. Eat whatever you want and see if it fits your taste. Wu Sifu didn't care.

Xiaotian set up the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them had a happy lunch.

While eating, Wu Ming called in. Huzi was chewing a mouthful of food in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Dad, there's news?" We were having lunch. Uncle Wu's cooking is delicious, and he can be called a five-star hotel chef. ”

"Stinky boy, you only know how to eat. Eat more if it's delicious. Wu Ming said on the other end of the phone, "I contacted a few friends just now, and the cumulative amount is about more than 100 catties." You ask your Uncle Wu, does he sell it?

Huzi immediately looked up and asked Wu Sifu: "Uncle Wu, my dad said that they can only buy more than 100 catties." Do you sell or not? ”

"Sell, of course sell!" Wu Sifu looked happy.

"Dad, Uncle Wu said okay. In this case, you can drive to pull meat tomorrow, and take me and Xiaotian back to the city by the way. Huzi licked the chopsticks in his hand and pleaded to Wu Ming.

"Okay, drive me tomorrow. It's up to you. Wu Ming should admit.

Huzi took the phone and said briskly, "It's done." The rest of the meat, Uncle Wu, you can sell it yourself. ”

"Good, good." Wu Sifu happily responded. sold more than 100 catties again, solved a big problem, and Wu Sifu was happy.

Listening to Huzi's father's meaning, he wanted to drive to pull meat, thinking of the village road in Zhucun, Wu Sifu hurriedly said to Huzi: "Huzi, you tell your father, drive slower when you come up, the slope is steep and the road is narrow." I drove to the village office, and I delivered the meat to the village office. ”

Huzi said that he would send a WeChat message to tell his father, bow his head and continue to eat.

Huzi ate and thoughtfully said: "Uncle Wu, I think you have good scenery, good air, delicious food, and delicious food, just like a fairy scene in the world." However, the dirt road was too unpleasant. If you build a mud road into a concrete road and drive the car to the front of your house, it will be perfect, it is simply a paradise written by Tao Gong. ”

"Huzi, your imagination is very rich. Did you do well in your language? Wu Sifu looked at Huzi gently and asked with a smile.

"His composition is well written. I want to be a journalist in the future. Xiao Tian added on the side.

The three of them were eating their lunch hotly when the big yellow dog outside the house suddenly barked.

Xiao Tian stood up, stepped out of the stove house, shouted loudly at the big yellow dog, and when he saw the comer, he said briskly: "You are here? Have you eaten? ”

Wu Sifu hurriedly asked, "Who is here?" ”

The person who came was none other than Lan Lan, who was casually invited by Zhou Jueming when he passed by Uncle Wu's courtyard in the morning and saw Zhou Jueming.

Lan Lan is Zhou Jueming's only daughter, fifteen or sixteen years old, attending middle school in Shuangjiang Town, and going home on weekends. These two days are New Year's Day holiday, and I came back from school in the morning.

She heard her father say that Xiao Tian, who went to a key high school in the county seat, came back, so she wanted to ask Xiao Tian what review materials were used by junior high school students in the city, and by the way, she learned about the specific process of applying for Zhuxian No. 1 Middle School, and wanted Xiao Tian to help analyze whether her current grades could be admitted. After lunch, I hurried over.

Xiaotian grew up playing with Lan Lan since he was a child. Xiaotian and Lan Lan haven't seen each other for two years, but I didn't expect that when I saw them today, Lan Lan was so graceful and generous.

I saw Lan Lan's tall figure, white round face, black and shiny double eyelids and big eyes, thin and small red lips, a pair of shallow dimples on her face, bright eyes and bright teeth, and a clever smile. Xiao Tian was a little stupid for a while.

"Brother Xiaotian, did you come back in the morning?" Lan Lan's question broke Xiaotian's stunnedness.

"Yes, I'm back in the morning. Come into the house and make a fire, my classmate Huzi is here. Xiao Tian warmly invited.

Hearing the voice, Wu Sifu and Huzi both greeted him. Wu Sifu saw that it was Lan Lan, and hurriedly welcomed her to the stove house, and asked her if she had eaten with concern; If she didn't eat it, she immediately scooped her up and said everyone was eating.

Lan Lan hurriedly said, "I've eaten, I've eaten." Uncle Wu, you eat slowly. ”

As soon as Huzi saw Lan Lan, he was immediately attracted by her purity and beauty. Perhaps because of the long-term labor and exercise of the children in the mountains and the absorption of the essence of the mangosteen forest, Lanlan looks healthy and energetic, more mature than women of the same age.

At this time, Lan Lan was in the eyes of Huzi, and there was a lot described in the Book of Songs

There are vines and grasses in the wild, and there is no dew.

There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful.

Encounters and encounters are suitable for my wishes.

There are vines and grasses in the wild, and there is no dew.

There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang.

Encounter and meet, and meet with the son.

Lan Lan greeted Wu Sifu, and glanced at Huzi again, tall, sunny and handsome face, a pair of myopic glasses set off the literary and polite, and the fiery red down jacket was like a fire in winter.

Warm and fiery.

"Are you Xiaotian's classmate? A handsome guy. Lan Lan greeted Huzi generously.

"Your name is Lan Lan? The name doesn't live up to its name. After carefully looking Lan Lan up and down, Huzi said with a calm face.

"Why doesn't the name live up to it?" Lan Lan asked suspiciously, "Am I not worthy of being called Lan Lan?" ”

"Lanlan rustic." Huzi said again.

"I'm rustic." Lan Lan was unhappy in her heart.

"No, No, No! I mean, the name Lan Lan doesn't deserve your beauty. You should change to a name that better describes your appearance and temperament. Huzi said with a big grin.

"The great talent of our class is now starting to show its strength." Xiaotian smiled and joked about Huzi.

Wu Sifu saw the three young people chatting lively, which showed how sunny their world was. Wu Sifu felt that he couldn't speak, so he went out and hugged the firewood and put it on the side of the firewood stove, and quietly retreated.

After Lan Lan joked with Huzi, she asked Xiao Tian seriously: "Brother Xiao Tian, what review questions did you do when you were in the third year of junior high school before?" I'm a bit behind in math and physics right now, and I'd like to do a little bit more practice to make up for it. ”

When Huzi heard Lan Lan call Xiaotian "Brother Xiaotian", he had a sour taste in his heart. It's so crisp, so sweet. Why don't you call yourself Brother Huzi? Call me Brother Huzi, and I'll go back to the city right away to buy you materials.

Xiao Tian scratched his head, trying to remember. After recalling it for a long time, I didn't remember it, so I had to apologize and say: "I can't remember what materials I bought at that time." However, if you want to take the Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School, you have to do a slightly more difficult question type. ”

"I know what to buy. Lan Lan, you ask me! Huzi blinked mischievously and stared at Lan Lan.

"Then what information do you say you want to buy?" Lan Lan turned her head, staring at Huzi with a pair of bright black eyes and asked.

"Sichuan Normal University, Beijing Normal University version, it's all fine." Huzi said seriously.

"Yes, yes, the materials published by these two normal universities have a wide range of questions and are more difficult. It is more suitable for the type of practice questions in Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School. Xiao Tian said seriously.

"Brother Xiaotian, you go back to the city to help me go to the book city to buy a set of mathematics and physics materials first, and call the shuttle bus to bring them back to me." Lan Lan's tone was firm.

Hmph, I asked Brother Xiaotian to buy books. is a handsome guy himself, but he turned a blind eye. Huzi was angry in his heart.

"Don't you buy a whole set? A complete set of physical chemistry in addition to language. Xiaotian asked again.

"How much does a complete set of documents cost? Forget it, buy math and physics first. Lan Lan's voice sank.

Xiaotian then remembered that Lan Lan's family background was the same as his own, and he was not rich. If you are admitted to Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School in the future, I don't know if Uncle Ming can take out the book tuition?

"Okay, I'll get it for you back in town." Xiao Tian said in a deep voice. After a while, he asked Lan Lan worriedly: "If you are admitted to Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School in the future, will Uncle Jueming let you study?" ”

"I don't know. According to my family's current financial situation, there is not so much money. Lan Lan said, her mood gradually lowered.

Huzi saw that Lan Lan was in a bad mood, compared with the previous bright and lively, judging the two of them, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. I thought that Huzi's family was difficult, but I didn't expect that there were people in this mountain who were more difficult than Huzi.

Xiao Tian saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he hurriedly took out the simmered red lotus and potatoes from the firewood ash, regardless of the high temperature, patted the ashes with both hands in turn, blew with his mouth, and handed it to Lan Lan: "Rake, you eat one." ”

Lan Lan smiled sweetly, revealing two little tiger teeth, and responded vividly and cutely: "Thank you, Brother Xiaotian!" ”

Huzi stared at the flames jumping in the stove pond with great attention, and a faint sadness quietly hit his heart. Help Lan Lan buy a set of materials, for this diligent and motivated girl.

The three of them eagerly discussed the learning methods and problem-solving skills, and Huzi said heartily: "Lan Lan, we are waiting for you in Zhucheng, come on!" ”

"You're all graduating next year, why are you waiting for me?" Lan Lan asked narrowly.

The three of them couldn't help but laugh.
