Cut the meat into thin slices, absorbing the sweet and spicy flavor of the dried chili peppers. Sprinkle some soy sauce on the steamed meat when it comes out of the pot. The spicy flavor of the sauce is mixed with the aroma of the meat. It is delicious and goes well with rice. Even the dried bamboo shoots below have absorbed the oil.
Also extremely delicious.
Everyone at the table has a good appetite. He Yan peeks at Lihua from time to time and expresses with his eyes that the food my wife cooks is delicious, looking silly and happy.
She was so ashamed that Lihua didn’t dare to look at him!
I only went to Lanhua, an educated youth spot, and my eyes were red and swollen while holding my chopsticks, and I couldn't eat.
Bai Su picked up a chopstick of meat and put it into her bowl: "Nothing is more important than dry rice. Don't mess with the delicious steamed meat."
"Don't go to work today. After dinner, go to the brigade clinic with mom."
When she went to work at the brigade clinic in the afternoon, Bai Su asked Lanhua to bring the book "How Steel Was Tempered" given to her by Zhou Zhiqing.
Lan Hua opened the page and looked at the words on it in a daze, wondering where her mind had gone.
Bai Su stopped sorting the medicines, opened the book in her hand, and read: "This is how a person's life should be spent. When he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor will he regret it.
He will not be ashamed of doing nothing; in this way, when he is dying, he can say: My whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world..."
I don't know which sentence touched Lan Hua's sadness. Her tears could no longer be controlled and flowed down.
Bai Su closed the book and put it in front of her: "Now, would you like to tell me what happened when you went to the educated youth center to find Sun Mingyuan?"
"Mom, I saw him hugging Lin Lijuan. I borrowed books from him before, and he wrote me a letter saying that he liked me."
Lanhua sobbed and cried: "Why are people's hearts so changeable? Doesn't his commitment and love count?"
Bai Su knew that Sun Mingyuan pushed Lin Lijuan out without any sense of loyalty, and Lin Lijuan's temperament would not give up.
She was afraid that Lin Lijuan would expose the matter and tell people in the educated youth circles, and it was actually him who incited people to go to the brigade headquarters to cause trouble.
Sun Mingyuan had to coax Lin Lijuan, at least for a few days.
So she didn't stop Lanhua from going to and fro with Sun Mingyuan. Instead, she took advantage of this moment to let Lanhua run to the educated youth spot, which would give some clues.
Unexpectedly, Sun Mingyuan coaxed Lin Lijuan and even hugged her.
Don’t be too fussy!
Lan Hua's eyes were red and swollen, and big tears fell down like broken beads. Bai Su stretched out his hand to caress her back and patted her gently.
"You feel sad that you have been deceived. Have you ever thought that there are so many girls in the educated youth point and the brigade headquarters, why is it you who Sun Mingyuan deceived?"
Orchid was stunned!
She couldn't understand this question either.
It was Sun Mingyuan who took the initiative to show his kindness to her. He came from a big city and was very talented. He was said to have a good family background. He also loved literature and shared a common language with her, so she also fell in love with Sun Mingyuan.
Feeling the comfort and warmth brought by Bai Su's hand on her back, Lanhua looked up at Bai Su.
Bai Su told her the answer: "Because you have a weakness."
"Your weakness is that you are eager to get rid of the current situation, eager to get out of the world of the Peace Brigade, and eager to leave this home."
Bai Su analyzed: "And Sun Mingyuan comes from a big city. He is an educated youth who was decentralized. Sooner or later, he will return to the city. From the surface, Sun Mingyuan is indeed good-looking and has a good family background. He can talk to you on the same page.
If he takes the initiative to show kindness to you, you will be tempted."
"Because he is your hope to get rid of the current situation, so you only see the advantages in him. He likes to flirt with women like a peacock. He gets close to every girl in the team and the educated youth spot, and he loves
He was lazy at work and tried every means to do less work. He thought my job as a health worker in the brigade was easy, so he even wanted to take it away."
"You haven't seen these shortcomings in him. Maybe you have seen them, but you are afraid that your hopes will be dashed, so you don't want to believe them."
Bai Su went straight to the point: "So when you saw him holding Lin Lijuan, you were sad. Not only was Sun Mingyuan, the perfect person you imagined, gone, but you were also sad that you walked out of the Peace Brigade and your hope of getting rid of the current situation was gone."
"You love reading, loving thinking, absorbing knowledge from books, and wanting to change the current situation and destiny. There is nothing wrong with this."
Bai Su put his hand on her weak shoulder: "But, Lanhua, have you ever thought that without relying on others, relying only on yourself, you can change the current situation, and you can also leave the Peace Brigade, walk out of this world, and go to
Look at the outside world. Just like the protagonist described in the novel, it will lead a wonderful life."
"Like what Nikolai Ostrovsky wrote in his book, when you grow old, you will not regret wasting your years, and you will not be ashamed of doing nothing."
Lu Lanhua was dumbfounded, looking at Bai Suren who was dumbfounded.
In the past, her grandma and uncle's family bullied them, but she did not protect herself.
Deep down in her heart, Lu Lanhua had long been disappointed with her mother.
Even though Bai Su suddenly changed and moved out of the Lu family with their sisters, she suddenly became happy, but she still felt insecure, fearing that if Brother Tian suddenly bowed his head, her mother would change back again in order to make Lu Dajun her son.
Therefore, she still firmly believed in the idea deep in her heart that she wanted to leave the Peace Brigade, leave this home, and go see the outside world.
She thought that she hid her thoughts very well, and also thought that Bai Su, as a mother, did not understand her.
After hearing her words, Lu Lanhua realized that the person who understood her best in the world was her mother.
Bai Su dug out the desire deep in her heart, and her words made her passionate. Lan Hua forgot to cry for a moment: "Then how can you get rid of the current situation on your own and go see the outside world?"
"Read, just read what you love."
Bai Su followed the temptation and said: "Lanhua, have you ever thought about leaving the Peace Brigade and going to college like Zhou Changqing?"
"However, it is difficult to get a place at the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University. In the past few years, only Zhou Zhiqing in the Peace Brigade has received a place..."
She wasn't talking about attending some useless workers', peasants and soldiers' university.
But go to real college.
In more than two years, the college entrance examination will be resumed.
But Bai Su didn't say it so thoroughly: "You can try anything that is impossible. The landlord and rich peasant elements in you, He Yan, are like a mountain pressing down on him. Aren't they gone!"
"I think you have finished junior high school and your grades were good when you were in school. You just need to continue studying and pick up your high school textbooks."
Bai Su advised her: "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. If others don't study, in addition to earning work points, you should use your extra time to study. When the opportunity comes, you can seize it."
