Chapter 120 Going into the woods(1/2)
Today's lunch was eaten in the second canteen of the steel rolling mill. For this reason, He Yuzhu also went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
He bought some Erhe noodle steamed buns in the Second Canteen and borrowed the tools from the Second Canteen. He Yuzhu made a delicious lunch.
When the meal was ready, I called Ma Hua, Liu Lan, Zhang Aiguo and Zhang Jianshe to eat together in the private room.
He Yuzhu made several dishes with the bean worms he caught, including fried bean worms, golden bean worms, and bean worm green onion soup. He also specially called Ma Hua and Zhang Aiguo over to let them watch and learn.
After a few people sat down, He Yuzhu introduced each other to everyone. Ma Hua, Liu Lan and Zhang Aiguo met Xu Xiaonan for the first time. Looking at the beautiful Xu Xiaonan, Ma Hua admired the master with all his heart!
Zhang Jianshe looked at the plate of fried bean worms on the table, his face turned pale, and he asked with lingering fear: "Brother Zhuzhu, this big fried bean worm is so scary, is it really edible?"
He Yuzhu ignored Zhang Jianshe, and with everyone's expectant eyes, he picked up a worm with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The crunching sound echoed in everyone's heart.
He Yuzhu said with a look of enjoyment: "It's really good, crunchy and chicken-flavored! Don't just look at me, come and have a taste!"
Looking at the big bugs on the plate, Xu Xiaonan was the first to choose to believe He Yuzhu. He picked one up nervously, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The delicious taste of these bean bugs made her eyes light up. She chewed faster, then quickly picked up another one and put it in her mouth.
When others saw Xu Xiaonan's actions, they immediately started trying.
But after they tasted it, they all started fighting over it like Xu Xiaonan did.
Six people, six dishes, were all eaten in the end, and Zhang Jianshe wiped the plates clean with steamed buns. After all, he could only eat dishes cooked by He Yuzhu once in a while.
He had really eaten enough food in the cafeteria. Zhang Jianshe's actions made both MCA and Zhang Aiguo blush.
This is because Zhang Jianshe usually comes to the Second Canteen to eat.
Before leaving, He Yuzhu looked at MCA and Zhang Aiguo who were seeing him off, patted their shoulders, and said earnestly: "The revolution has not yet succeeded. Comrades still need to work hard and practice more in the future!"
Afterwards, He Yuzhu took Xu Xiaonan's hand and left the steel rolling mill.
He Yuzhu rode a bicycle and drove Xu Xiaonan to the west side of the north gate of Dong'an Market. This is a bookstore street and is the largest second-hand book trading market in the capital. He planned to take Xu Xiaonan to buy some books. He had been here before, so he still wanted to buy some books. Very familiar.
In the famous Huaxia Bookstore, He Yuzhu accidentally discovered "Sword Poison, Plum Blossom" by Teacher Gu published by Huaqing Publishing House. Unfortunately, this book only has 4 episodes and 14 chapters, and there is no more later.
He Yuzhu turned around and asked Xu Xiaonan if he had seen it. When Xu Xiaonan shook his head, He Yuzhu happily bought two sets, keeping one for himself and giving one to his wife, so happy!
He Yuzhu took Xu Xiaonan to wander in this place that exuded the rich fragrance of ink. They felt a rich cultural atmosphere.
He Yuzhu visited a lot of places and bookstalls here, but he couldn't find the books he was looking forward to by Mr. Liang and Mr. Jin, such as Book of Swords and Enmities, Blue Blood Sword, and Legend of the Condor Heroes. Even the bookstore owner didn't find them. Ask him who Mr. Liang and Mr. Jin are?
Only then did He Yuzhu realize that martial arts novels were not popular in China during this period. Many literati even compared martial arts novels to street stall literature. The more popular novels now are historical novels, such as Red Sun, Forest Sea and Snowy Field.
Originally, He Yuzhu wanted to give up and planned to buy some other books to read, so he randomly walked into a second-hand bookstore.
At this moment, He Yuzhu had a feeling that "there is no way out, but there is no way out, but there is another village with dark flowers and dark flowers."
Because, He Yuzhu unexpectedly discovered the collections of Snow Mountain Flying Fox and Legend of the Condor Heroes. Each episode was a thin volume. It was placed in the corner of the bookstore, and there was even a little dust on it.
It seems that no one cares about it for a long time.
He Yuzhu asked his boss about the origin of these books, and then he learned that they were recovered from the home of a returned overseas Chinese.
I thought it would be easy to sell, but it has been in the backlog for a long time and no one asked about it. If He Yuzhu hadn't asked today, he would have almost forgotten about it.
After confirming with the boss again, there was nothing else, only the episodes of these two books. He Yuzhu shook his head, feeling full of regret.
The others are probably only available in Xiangjiang and Wanwan. If you want to see them, you probably have to wait until after the 1980s, when piracy is prevalent.
Searching again, he found Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, which can be called the originator of martial arts novels. He had never seen this before. It was fate that he encountered it, so he had to buy it.
In the end, He Yuzhu bought these two piles of books and Three Heroes and Five Righteousness for 3 yuan and 20 cents. Each of the two piles of books had nearly 20 chapters, so the price was not too expensive.
He Yuzhu also selected some miscellaneous story books to pass the time, such as Lao Can's Travel Notes, Scholars' Foreign History, etc.
The books are really cheap, the cheaper ones only cost a few cents each, and the more expensive ones only cost a few cents.
After buying the books, He Yuzhu took Xu Xiaonan to his home in the courtyard, because now is the time at noon when the sun is most intense and the weather is the hottest.
So they hid at home to escape the summer heat. When they returned home, they found that their sister happened to be at home and did not go out to play with her classmates.
Seeing Xu Xiaonan's arrival, He Yuyu was so upset that he was finally willing to contribute the electric fan. This was a treatment that He Yuzhu did not usually enjoy.
When He Yuzhu complained about this matter, Xu Xiaonan covered her mouth and snickered, and even praised He Yuzhu dotingly, which made her even more proud.
Xu Xiaonan also asked the same question as He Yuyu, asking where Xiaobai had gone.
He Yuzhu had no choice but to explain that Xiaobai was usually not at home during the day and did not know where he went to play. He only came back at night when it got dark.
In midsummer, the chirping of cicadas and the high temperature at noon make the cicadas on the big tree sing even more cheerfully!
He Yuyu listened to the cicadas chirping outside and said irritably: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, I was woken up by the cicadas outside in the morning. They are so annoying."
Academic master Xu Xiaonan started her performance at this time. She looked at He Yuyu and said with a smile: "Yu Yu, have you noticed that the higher the temperature, the more times the cicadas outside chirp, the louder the sound, and the longer it lasts?
long!"
He Yuyu bit his finger unconsciously, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's really what you said, why is that?"
Xu Xiaonan explained: "The higher the temperature, the more irritable the cicada becomes. The first reason is to dissipate heat, because the cry of the cicada is made by vibrating its wings, and the vibration of the wings can prompt it to cool down, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling off.
The second thing is that it is for courting, I won’t tell you more about this, you are still a child!”
"Sister-in-law, you are so amazing and know so much!" He Yuyu's eyes were shining with little stars of envy.
Xu Xiaonan wanted to say something else, but He Yuzhu opened the door and walked in after leaving, holding 2 ice cream sticks and 3 bottles of Arctic Ocean in his hands. He Yuzhu looked so worried that he no longer cared about anything, and ran over to take the ice cream. She gave it to Xu Xiaonan first
I divided one piece and then started to eat on my own.
With three bang bang bangs, He Yuzhu once again performed the unique skill of opening a bottle with one hand, which shocked his sister who was eating ice cream. His brother's magical operation left He Yuzhu stunned on the spot.
The three bored people played the card game Landlords. He Yuzhu found three big bowls. The prize for winning or losing was the bottle of Arctic Ocean in front of each person. Whoever lost would pour out part of the Arctic Ocean soda. The ending was self-evident.
.
The bowl in front of He Yuzhu was empty, and the bottle of Arctic Ocean placed in front of him didn't even have a drop left, because He Yuzhu, who had just won, drank the remaining bit in his sister's bottle in one gulp.
He Yuzhu and Xu Xiaonan looked at each other and smiled, leaving He Yuzhu alone and messy in the breeze of the electric fan.
Looking at He Yuyu with tears in his eyes, Xu Xiaonan put more than half a bottle of Arctic Ocean in front of him into her hand and said: "Come on, drink this! It's not like you don't know how powerful your brother is."
"Don't talk about one deck of cards. If you play two decks with him, he will remember even four decks of cards! So in the future, when playing cards with your brother, be sure not to bet on anything, otherwise you will lose everything!"
The smart Xu Xiaonan introduced He Yuzhu as a shield and hid herself deeply.
Silly sister He Yuyu said happily: "Sister-in-law, it's better for you!"
After hearing this, Xu Xiaonan covered her mouth and smiled without saying a word.
By the time it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun outside was no longer so harsh.
He Yuzhu got on the car and took Xu Xiaonan to various pharmacies and medicinal material recycling stations. With He Yuzhu's help, Xu Xiaonan's work became easier.
Everywhere she went in the morning, she relied on the bus and her legs, so she only traveled to three places in more than three hours in the morning.
In just over 2 hours in the afternoon, under the leadership of He Yuzhu, Xu Xiaonan actually visited pharmacies and medicinal material stations in the streets and alleys of Dongcheng and Nancheng. The notebook she carried with her was filled with writings. Xu Xiaonan felt that she had gained a lot today.
.
Seeing that the time was almost up, He Yuzhu rode Xu Xiaonan back to the courtyard. Because the weather was too hot, He Yuzhu was too lazy to cook, so he arranged for He Yuzhu to cook dinner.
He Yuyu was not happy at first, with a dissatisfied look on his face. He found that his brother was getting lazier and lazier now. She was the one who cooked breakfast, and now he even started to squeeze her as a child for dinner.
Xu Xiaonan looked at the unhappy He Yuyu and pulled her towards the kitchen. Seeing that his sister-in-law wanted to help, He Yuyu beamed and started working with her.
When He Yuzhu saw Xu Xiaonan taking action, he wanted to go in to help, but his sister put her hands on her hips and drove her out with a grin on her face.
Cold dishes are the best match for the hot summer, so tonight’s dinner is cold cucumbers, cold tomatoes, plus a salted duck egg for each person, paired with Erhe noodles steamed buns, the three of them ate with gusto.
After the meal, He Yuzhu sent Xu Xiaonan home. He passed by Beihai Park. Seeing that it was still early, He Yuzhu turned the car to the lakeside of Beihai. He found a place to put the car and let Xu Xiaonan sit on the shore.
Read the martial arts novel I bought in the morning.
He Yuzhu shamelessly took off his pants in front of Xu Xiaonan. Xu Xiaonan was so ashamed that she quickly covered her eyes with her hands, but the wide gaps between her fingers betrayed Xu Xiaonan and proved that she was not at peace in her heart.
Through the gap between his fingertips, he once again saw the strong figure and well-developed muscles, especially the massive abdominal muscles. Xu Xiaonan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
When she realized that He Yuzhu was staring at her, she quickly picked up the book on the ground and put it in front of her eyes. Under the sunset, Xu Xiaonan's cheeks became even more rosy.
Seeing that Xu Xiaonan was shy, He Yuzhu turned around and made a beautiful gesture of entering the water. Unfortunately, Xu Xiaonan didn't see it. When she put down the book, there was no trace of He Yuzhu in her eyes.
Xu Xiaonan sat quietly on the shore and read the book in her hand, not anxious at all, because she knew that He Yuzhu could hold his breath for more than 10 minutes.
After He Yuzhu entered the water, he felt the coolness. He swam in the lake, as happy as a fish. He was so playful that he even planned to compete with the fish for speed, but in the blink of an eye he couldn't even see the fish's tail.
Afraid that Xu Xiaonan would worry about him, He Yuzhu came out of the water from time to time to take a breath. Just now, he encountered a school of fish and reached out to catch a few small fish, but he finally let them go.
When the sun set and the sky began to darken, He Yuzhu returned to the shore and took out a towel from his bag. While wiping his body, he smiled and stared at Xu Xiaonan, who was peeking.
Seeing the towel and He Yuzhu staring at him, Xu Xiaonan simply threw away the shyness in his heart, put down the book in his hand, looked at He Yuzhu openly, and asked: "My dear, have you prepared all the towels? It seems that you have
Come prepared!"
"Well, if you don't see who I am, I have something good in my bag. Don't rush home now. When it gets dark, I will take you to a nice place. I'm telling you, it's fun to be fooling around in the dark.
!”
"I don't believe it, I don't want it, I won't go, I want to go home!"
Xu Xiaonan didn't believe He Yuzhu's lies. She didn't dare He Yuzhu go into the woods.
However, today He Yuzhu was determined to take Xu Xiaonan into the woods. When they arrived, Xu Xiaonan asked curiously: "My dear, what are we doing here? I'm telling you, don't mess around!"
