Chapter 89 Old Street Drifter



Chapter 89 Old Street Drifter

Lin Xiangnan glanced at Aunt Hua and said tactlessly, "I've only tried the secret beef ribs. I want to eat Mapo tofu and braised bamboo shoots tomorrow."

"But I want to eat beef ribs!" Aunt Hua looked sad and angry.

The downside of not having any cooking skills is that whatever you want to eat depends on the chef’s mood.

Before, Aunt Hua didn't eat or drink for free at Lin Xiangnan's place, but traded for things. Sometimes she couldn't get the ingredients, or couldn't give him anything presentable, so she couldn't get a free meal.

If she had never eaten good food, she could still eat in the cafeteria every meal, but after that, Aunt Hua couldn't stand this kind of life anymore.

But Lin Xiangnan was not interested in Aunt Hua's collection, because no matter what kind of wood the chairs were made of, they could only be used for sitting.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Anyway, it's not huanghuali, it's just some red sandalwood, there's nothing rare about it." Lin Xiangnan sat on the chair and crossed his legs.

Aunt Hua patted Lin Xiangnan's hand and tempted him, "If you treat me to a meal, I can teach you."

"Teach me? In this situation?"

Lin Xiangnan was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts were suddenly opened up.

She knew that Aunt Hua was very capable, but she had never thought of learning from her before. She also didn't expect Aunt Hua to take the initiative to bring up this matter.

"Although the current situation is not very clear." Aunt Hua was not sure how long the policies of 'destroying the four olds' would last, and her momentum weakened a little, "But the law is not easily passed on, and the teacher is not easy to pass on. I will not teach people skills for nothing. If there is no sincerity, I will not teach you even if you take your skills underground."

Don’t think that these traditional things have become lowly just because they are suppressed. People with real abilities have their own pride. Even if they have to live in a cowshed in the countryside or sweep toilets, they will not give in easily.

However, collecting at this point in time is not really appropriate. After being proud, Aunt Hua compromised and said, "If you are not interested, forget it. How about I arrange a job for you? You are a military dependent and you graduated from high school. I will ask my old comrade to help you find a job at the military factory?"

Anyway, her goal is to eat good food, not to recruit disciples. The process is not important, as long as the goal is achieved.

Aunt Hua is quite self-aware. Collecting is not as important as having a proper job nowadays.

"Work? Didn't you want to teach me? Why did you talk about work?" Lin Xiangnan just asked a question casually, but Aunt Hua kept talking, leaving her no chance to interrupt.

"I don't want to work. I go to work to make money. My family has enough money to spend, so I don't want to go to work." Lin Xiangnan said, "What I meant just now was to ask you how you were going to teach me. It wasn't a rejection."

Some people work to realize their self-worth, but Lin Xiangnan has no such pursuit. She is just an ordinary person and doesn't want to prove herself, so she goes to find a class to attend.

She is more interested in collecting than working.

It is only in recent years that antiques have not been seen in public, but when they are revealed, they will be treasures.

If you think about it from another perspective, now is also a good time to pick up bargains. You can accomplish great things by spending a small amount of money.

Seeing that Lin Xiangnan was just confused about the teaching process instead of rejecting her, Aunt Hua said directly: "I was the one who saved the director of the museum. There are more than 250 boxes and several warehouses of cultural relics in the museum. There are more than 30 bronze wares from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and thousands of ancient books of various types..."

Everything in the museum is recorded and cannot be moved, but it can still be used for teaching.

When Lin Xiangnan heard this, his eyes began to light up and he immediately massaged Aunt Hua's shoulders.

"Isn't it enough to just eat beef ribs? Since we have to buy beef anyway, I'll also make you some beef jerky. This is the most delicious snack."

"Oh, that's right." Aunt Hua nodded with satisfaction.

So, you still have to have a skill so that you won’t suffer any loss no matter where you go.

Lin Xiangnan learned knowledge, and she enjoyed delicious food, which was a win-win cooperation.

In the past, she had to exchange things and tickets with Lin Xiangnan for food, but now she took it for granted to enjoy Lin Xiangnan's filial piety.

Aunt Hua praised Lin Xiangnan in a relaxed manner: "There are not many children as smart as you nowadays."

When the whole society speaks with one voice, it is difficult for individuals to stay awake.

There were many capable people who were sent to the cowshed, but the locals basically stayed away from them for fear of getting into trouble, let alone taking the initiative to become their apprentices.

Aunt Hua patted Lin Xiangnan's hand soothingly, "Don't be afraid. The situation should get better in a few years."

"I'm not afraid." Lin Xiangnan looked calm.

After collecting the good things, Aunt Hua still had to face the problem of having no place to put them, but she could put them in space, which was much safer than Aunt Hua.

"That's right. You are also a wild person." Thinking of the various ingredients that Lin Xiangnan brought in, Aunt Hua had nothing to say.

Not only did the two of them have a little secret, they were almost becoming master and apprentice, so their relationship naturally became closer.

Political Commissar Xu sent his own mother in exchange for some delicious food, but who knew that Lin Xiangnan had kidnapped his mother.

Not to mention bringing delicious food home, sometimes the two of them went out in the afternoon and didn't come back until dark. Not only could he not eat good food, he also had to save food for Aunt Hua.

"Mom, where did you two go? Why are you back late again?" Political Commissar Xu asked curiously.

"Nothing. I went to the city, and on the way back, I climbed the mountain and looked at the plum blossoms for a while. That delayed me a bit." Aunt Hua was feeding Xiaotian water while perfunctorily answering her son.

Xiaotian had been hanging out outside for a whole day and was tired, so he drank water and ate food in big gulps.

"Looking at the flowers? Are you two so free? The dog is so tired, aren't you tired?" Political Commissar Xu couldn't help but complain.

"How can you say that?" Aunt Hua thought for a moment and said, "But Xiaolin is quite free and has a leisurely mood. He can play with me. He is a good kid."

Without a job and without children, Lin Xiangnan is just idle.

After hanging out with Aunt Hua, Lin Xiangnan realized that your aunt is your aunt after all, and even if she is just eating, drinking and having fun, she still has a lot to learn.

She only cared about food before. In other aspects, she was far behind Aunt Hua, and she had to work hard to catch up with Aunt Hua.

Unable to take care of his own mother, Political Commissar Xu could only go to Gu Zhenhua and ask indirectly.

Speaking of this, Gu Zhenhua felt somewhat relieved.

"My mother-in-law used to scold Xiaonan for being like a street urchin. She had nothing to do all day and just wandered around outside. She couldn't stay at home. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to make new friends in the family compound. Now it's good. Aunt Hua can play with her."

Political Commissar Xu was speechless and couldn't help but punch Gu Zhenhua lightly.

I cursed in my heart: Your Xiaonan is a street urchin, then what is my mother? An old street urchin?
