Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bad Fish
Chen Guiyun went to the bookstore next to him to buy books, Mingcheng ran very fast, Li Tianliang saw that he was also chasing after him, and after a while, Mingcheng came back with three red books, Chen Xiaohong took a look, saw that it was this book, so he didn't say anything, and a group of people walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus to come.
"By the way, Xiaoli graduated from elementary school this year, where are you going to go to junior high school?" Chen Guiyun thought of this and asked, Li Xiaoli and Mingcheng are in the same class, but they are three years older than Mingcheng, she finished school, and her sister Li Xiaolian only went to the fourth grade and stopped going to school, Li Xiaoli was able to graduate from primary school because she had a sister working at home, plus no tuition fees.
"What's up? The girl's family can recognize a word, just count the number, don't read it, then you can't spend money in junior high school. Chen Xiaohong waved her hand, Ming Nuan didn't like her argument very much, but there was no way to change her mind.
"Where is your home Mingcheng? Where can I study? Chen Xiaohong then asked, "I heard that the children in our courtyard are all in the fourth middle school, and your family is studying in the first middle school." ”
"What's the point, the child wants to read, no matter how difficult it is for me and Lao Huo, we have to provide for them, see how Mingcheng did in the exam, if you do well in the exam, you will go to the first middle school, so that his brother will take care of it, if you don't fight for it, then you will be in the fourth middle school." Chen Guiyun spread his hands and said.
……
Listening to the gossip of the two women all the way, and finally arrived home, Mingyang, who was at home, had already stuffed the rice, just waiting for Chen Guiyun to go home to cook, Chen Guiyun fried a bean and fried meat, in recent years, everyone has been surprised by the inexplicable things that appear at home, and they have a tacit understanding not to ask, let alone say it.
"By the way, Mom, I'll go to school every day to report and come back." Mingyang said while eating.
"Is the situation in your school already so serious?" Chen Guiyun put down her chopsticks and asked.
"Well, I heard that there have been incidents of criticizing teachers in other schools, and I guess there will be such a thing in our school, and it will be bad if I don't go up on the field to criticize teachers, so it's better not to go." Mingyang said sullenly, Mingyang has always loved learning and respects teachers, but now there is no way to save his teacher, and even become one of the teachers who insult his respect, which is a very cruel thing for him.
"Since that's the case, then you should stay at home and don't leave your studies behind." Chen Guiyun was shocked when she heard this situation, and now it seems that it is indeed not a good way to let Mingyang go to school.
Ming Nuan knew that this was just the beginning, and there would be more ruthless things to happen in the future, and there would even be things where sons fought fathers and brothers turned against each other. Here, she can only protect herself, and it is not easy to keep herself and her family from being harmed.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Jianguo came back, and when he came back so early, Chen Guiyun asked in surprise: "What's the matter, I usually can't wait to live in the army, but I am willing to come back so early today." ”
Ming Nuan and they all covered their mouths and laughed when they heard this, usually Huo Jianguo always forgot the time when he worked, went home very late, and sometimes even too late for fear of disturbing his family's rest, so he simply rested in the office, Chen Guiyun was very resentful of this, no wonder he was sarcastic like this today.
Huo Jianguo showed a wry expression, signaling Ming Nuan for them to intercede for him, Ming Nuan saw Huo Jianguo's pleading expression, looked at each other, and found that everyone's eyes flashed with banter, and finally Ming Nuan couldn't bear to see Huo Jianguo being troubled, and said, "Hey, Dad, why are you carrying a bucket?" ”
Only then did everyone pay attention to the bucket in Huo Jianguo's hand, Chen Guiyun also looked at the bucket, and after seeing the things in the bucket, his attention was really diverted, and he asked, "Where did the fish come from?" ”
Hearing that there were fish, Ming Nuan and they all ran over, Huo Jianguo saw that his attention was finally diverted, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put down the bucket for Ming Nuan to see, and said: "I went to Pang Mountain to practice today, and I started to lie on the river, and then a group of children came over, and went to the river to smash the ice to catch fish, although it was still cold this day, but it was slowly heating up, and as a result, a child fluttered and fell, and we hurried to save people." Scoop up the child, the child is not lightly frozen, lips are purple, and the child's parents rushed to the hospital, we saw that today's plan is not finished anyway, so we took a little rain back. ”
"You guys, other people's children smashed the ice and fished and fell inside, you still smashed, why are you more children than children!" Chen Guiyun looked at Huo Jianguo hatefully and said.
Huo Jianguo smiled flatteringly, "We have scouted in advance, where is the thickest ice." ”
Chen Guiyun didn't say any more, and asked again, "How many fish did you catch?"
"That's a lot, let the cooking class take two buckets, and the rest will be shared with the family." Huo Jianguo took off his clothes and hung them behind the door, "Let mom rest today, and dad will show you a hand." ”
After Chen Guiyun heard it, she said, "Okay, then you will show your hand, I will eat ready-made today." ”
"Dad, how are you going to make this fish today?" Ming Nuan ran to the kitchen and asked.
"You'll know when Daddy is ready." Huo Jianguo rolled up his sleeves and fished the fish out of the bucket, Ming Nuan saw that the fish was still cocking its tail, there were six or seven, none of them were very big, only a little bigger than the palm of his hand.
"Shall I help you, then?" Ming Nuan also rolled up his sleeves as she spoke, "I don't need your help, Dad will do it himself in a while, you go play with your brother and brother!" Huo Jianguo stopped Ming Nuan's hand that was about to catch the fish.
Looking at Huo Jianguo's confident expression, Ming Nuan pulled down his sleeves again, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, then give Dad a chance to perform." ”
Huo Jianguo also cooperated with Ming Nuan, raised his right hand and saluted, and said, "I promise to complete the task." Huo Jianguo and Ming Nuan looked at each other, and then began to laugh.
Ming Nuan sat in the living room chatting with others, and secretly forgot to glance at the kitchen with one eye, only to see Huo Jianguo skillfully scraping the fish scales, disemboweling and disemboweling, and cleaning up the internal organs.
Chen Guiyun saw Ming Nuan secretly looking at Huo Jianguo, smiled, and said, "Don't look at it, your father must be making bad fish!" ”
Bad fish, Ming Nuan ate it in his previous life, but he hasn't eaten it since he came here, but he didn't expect Huo Jianguo to have this hand.
Soon I heard a stinging sound from the kitchen, Ming Nuan knew that it was the sound of frying, and to make bad fish, you need to oil the fish first, and then put it in the pot with ingredients to make the fish flavorful.
When Huo Jianguo brought the fish up, Ming Nuan saw that the fish on the plate were still intact, which was rare, because the stuffed bad fish was very soft, so it was called bad fish, and it often rotted when touched.
The bad fish is not fishy at all in the mouth, it seems that Huo Jianguo really has two brushes to make bad fish, "By the way, Mom, how did you know that Dad made bad fish just now?" Minghe asked.
Chen Guiyun and Huo Jianguo glanced at each other, and Chen Guiyun said, "Say it!" ”
Huo Jianguo touched his nose and said, "At that time, when I was on a mission in Beijing, I worked as a side dish worker in the back kitchen of a big hotel, and secretly watched the master chef do stealing. ”
"Dad, what are you doing in Beijing, still working in a hotel?" Ming Cheng was obviously more interested in Huo Jianguo's mission.
"Eat, eat, ask so much what are you doing." Chen Guiyun opened her mouth and said, but looking at her expression, Chen Guiyun also knew about it.
Mingcheng was not very happy that he didn't get an answer, his mouth was pouting very high, Huo Jianguo saw it and put a piece of fish meat in his bowl, and after Mingcheng saw it, he instantly threw the unhappiness just now out of the clouds.
Ming Nuan knows, what task to work in the back kitchen, isn't it the legendary lurking? Unexpectedly, Huo Jianguo also worked in the underground party.
After eating, the family sat on the big bed, listening to Huo Jianguo and Chen Guiyun tell the previous stories, Ming Nuan especially likes to listen to what happened in the war, listen to every little person in that era, Huo Jianguo's story has no rifle to fight the plane, tearing the devil, there is no sharpshooter who wears Yang in a hundred steps, and some are just living people in life, looking for guns, bullets, and grenades inch by inch after the war, Some are just young people who learn simple kanji at night when there is no war.
