One day when Tian Tian woke up in the morning, the dishes that Gu Zhao had brought back from the cafeteria were already on the table.
Tian Tian's eyes lit up when she saw the pickled radish fried with soybeans. She wished she could sit at the table and eat it right away. She had missed it so much. Although it looked black and didn't look very good, it was very fragrant when fried with lard and soybeans, and it tasted especially good when eaten with rice.
But in the canteens in the city, few people make fried black pickled radishes.
"Fried pickles, fried pickles!" After washing up, Tian Tian excitedly sat down at the dining table and prepared to eat.
Seeing her like this, Gu Zhao smiled and said, "I knew you liked pickled radish. I bought some when I saw them in the cafeteria just now."
The meal in the cafeteria was pure white rice. Tian Tian scooped some pickles into the rice with a spoon, mixed them, and took a big mouthful.
Tian Tian chewed with great anticipation, and suddenly felt something strange. She swallowed the rice in her mouth and took a look at the pickled radish. "Why do I feel like it tastes a bit weird?"
"Is there?" Gu Zhao went over and took a bite with chopsticks. "I think it tastes pretty good."
"I don't know. Maybe everyone makes it differently. Anyway, this pickled radish tastes different from the one my mom makes!"
This pickled radish is made by pickling the radish with pickle water, cutting it into strips, and finally drying it. When you want to eat it, just soak it in water and stir-fry it with beans. Everyone makes it differently, so it is normal for the taste of one person's recipe to be different from Lin Meiyu's.
But what Tian Tian wanted to eat was what Lin Meiyu made. Now when she put the pickled radish in her mouth, she felt a little disappointed.
But Gu Zhao had specially brought it to her from the cafeteria, so she had no choice but to eat it. In the end, she ate all the food with the pickled radish.
After dinner, Tian Tian went to work. After the first class, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She went to get a pot of hot water, put it in a glass bottle, pressed it down her stomach, and covered her stomach with it, but she felt it was of no use.
At lunch time, Tian Tian and Zhou Yang went to the cafeteria together. Tian Tian got a lunch box of porridge, a cornmeal pancake, and some sour, sweet and crispy cucumbers.
"Why do you eat so little?" Zhou Yang asked, looking at the food in Tian Tian's lunch box.
There was only one spoonful of rice in the lunch box, which just formed a shallow bottom, plus a palm-sized cornmeal pancake and a small spoonful of pickles. It was nothing like Tian Tian's usual amount of rice.
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, and I don't want to eat any other food!" said Tian Tian.
"What's the matter? Did you have a stomachache this morning?" Zhou Yang asked with concern.
Tian Tian shook her head. "No, I ate in the cafeteria in our factory this morning. If something goes wrong, I can't be the only one to get into trouble. Gu Zhao will definitely feel uncomfortable too."
She thought carefully about the meals she had eaten yesterday and today. All the dishes were fresh and she hadn't eaten anything that had been stored for several days, so it couldn't be the food.
"Maybe it caught a cold last night? I'll just have some porridge to warm it up!" Tian Tian said after drinking two mouthfuls of porridge.
"Take a look this afternoon. If it doesn't work, you still have to go to the hospital!"
Tian Tian nodded. Even if Zhou Yang didn't say it, she would have planned so.
Fortunately, maybe because of the porridge, Tian Tian felt warm in her stomach and felt more comfortable. She didn’t feel so uncomfortable in the afternoon and became more energetic.
When Tian Tian got home that night, she told Gu Zhao that she had been feeling sick all morning. Gu Zhao was very worried, "Why did you suddenly feel sick? Did you eat something bad? Should we go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Ever since he met Tian Tian, Tian Tian has been as strong as a calf and seldom gets sick. She only sneezes and coughs twice every year when the seasons change. She is a very healthy person. However, Gu Zhao sometimes worries about Tian Tian because for such a person, it is fine if he does not get sick, but once he does, the condition is very serious.
Therefore, Gu Zhao would be extra careful every time the season changed and would prepare ginger and warm clothes in advance.
Hearing that Tian Tian was upset, Gu Zhao became even more worried.
"It's okay! I was probably a little nervous this morning, or I had a stomach full of wind, so I felt uncomfortable. I'm fine now, don't worry." Tian Tian patted her chest and said.
"Okay then!" Although Gu Zhao was still worried, he did not insist after hearing what Tian Tian said. "If you feel uncomfortable, you must go to the hospital for a check-up. People nowadays always like to endure and put things off. It was originally a minor illness, but it turned into a serious illness after being delayed. Things that can be solved with a small amount of money have to be solved with a large amount of money in the end. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Money is something that we can earn again even if we lose it. Health is the most important thing!"
When Tian Tian heard Gu Zhao say this, she felt that Gu Zhao was like her father. She knew the truth of this statement, and she also understood that she should care about her body more than anyone else. If there was really something wrong, she would definitely go see a doctor.
But her stomach wasn’t that uncomfortable now, so Tian Tian didn’t take it to heart.
Tian Tian continued to work every day. Occasionally on weekends, she would go out for a walk with Gu Zhao or take Tian Zhuo out for a good meal. She would also ask Tian Zhuo about his life at school.
Tian Zhuo adapted well to the school. He liked studying, and he felt at home in a knowledge-rich university. If Tian Tian didn't call him in advance on weekends, Tian Zhuo would stay in the library all day and not go back to the dormitory.
Every day when he didn't have classes, Tian Zhuo would hang out in the library and didn't even think about eating. If Tian Tian hadn't established good relationships with Tian Zhuo's roommates, no one would have known that Tian Zhuo would buy a lot of steamed buns and eat one with water when he was hungry.
Tian Zhuo did this firstly to save money, and secondly because sometimes he was so engrossed in reading that he simply forgot to eat, so he could only buy steamed buns and eat them when he was hungry.
After Tian Tian found out about this, she was so angry that she pulled Tian Zhuo out, grabbed his ear and gave him a good scolding.
Tell him that it is normal to be obsessed with studying and reading. Tian Tian would also be so engrossed in reading novels that she would forget to eat. But it cannot be like this every day. Man is iron and rice is steel. Meals should be eaten on time. Otherwise, what if your stomach gets hungry?
The stomach is difficult to take care of. It is easy to get hungry if it is a little cold or one or two meals. But if you want to take good care of the stomach, that is difficult.
