At this time, most of the things on the market are steamed buns, steamed bread and fried dough sticks, and not many people make pumpkin cakes.
"That's okay too."
The two walked around and finally saw a piece of remaining pig intestine in the meat area and bought it.
As the chef was filling the bowls, he said, "You're lucky. The pig intestines were sold out early this morning."
Because pig intestines have a peculiar smell, people with poorer conditions will buy them home every once in a while to supplement protein for their family members. However, since families generally use less oil and salt at this time, and the cooking method is simple, they may not taste good, but it will not reach the point where everyone is scrambling to buy them.
The Education Bureau rarely turned off the lights early today.
Teachers from several schools gathered together to correct the test papers of the students who took the exam overnight.
Tang Yong kept shaking his head every time he corrected a test paper.
"The quality of students taking the exam this time is not good. The highest score in the math papers I graded was only 62. They can't even get into No. 1 Middle School, let alone No. 2 Middle School."
Yu Yue, who was correcting Chinese papers, nodded in agreement.
"The Chinese language isn't very good either. Not many people scored above 60, and the handwriting isn't very pretty either."
As they talked, they changed to the next paper.
"Huh?"
Tang Yong uttered an "eh" sound, and Yu Yue couldn't help but turn his head to look, "What's wrong?"
"This student's handwriting is wrong, but the previous solution is correct."
Yu Yue glanced at the name.
"Hu Chunxing, female, let me find her test paper."
At this time, Zhu Qingqing, another female teacher who had been silent the whole time, said, "I have Hu Chunxing's Chinese test paper here. I've already graded half of it. Let me take a look at it after I finish. The child's handwriting is really beautiful. It's rare to see a student with such beautiful handwriting."
A group of people continued to correct the papers, and soon all of Hu Chunxing's papers were corrected.
"Her Chinese composition isn't very good, but she's mastered the rest of the knowledge quite well, scoring 90 points. With that score, she'll be able to get into No. 1 Middle School. By the way, how's her math?"
Tang Yong said excitedly, "I got 87 points in math. The first few questions were good, but I made a few mistakes on the last few questions. But 87 is not bad."
Xiong Zongming, a mathematics teacher at No. 1 Middle School, immediately went to look for the file bag.
None of the students taking the exam have a high school diploma. In order to facilitate checking the students' situation at any time, the archival materials are also placed here.
"Hu Chunxing, from Lishu Village, has only an elementary school education."
After reading it, she looked at the teachers accompanying her in disbelief.
"She only has an elementary school education, but the exam covers mostly middle and high school content, and she still managed to get such a high score. She's a true genius."
Xiong Zongming wanted to call the principal on the spot.
"Such a good seedling must be sent to No. 1 Middle School."
The middle-aged female teacher Zhao Yunxin, who had been silent all this time, frowned, as if she had made some big decision.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Finish grading first."
Xiong Zongming had to suppress his excitement and continue correcting homework.
…
Hu Chunhua was not sent back by Zhou Xiong until before dinner.
Zhou Xiong was holding a lot of bags, including clothes, cold cream, clam oil, and food.
When Feng Yun saw the smile on Hu Chunhua's face, he knew that the two of them had a much better relationship after going out today, and he was happy for Chunhua.
"Zhou Xiong, let's eat at home tonight."
Feng Yun warmly invited Zhou Xiong in for dinner.
Hu Guangcai and Hu Guangcong went out to the stall, leaving only her, Qi Qiumin, and Hu Chunxing, who had been reading in the room, at home.
Zhou Xiong wanted to stay with Hu Chunhua for a while longer, so he agreed.
"Okay, Aunt Feng, you don't need to make too much food, just eat normally."
Feng Yun agreed verbally, but in his mind he had to let Zhou Xiong have a good meal so that he could recommend Qi Qiumin with more confidence when he went to their political commissar's house later.
So today the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen together, a rare occasion.
Qi Qiuming is the chef and Feng Yun is his assistant.
After the bacon and dried bamboo shoots were fried out of the pot, Hu Chunxing washed the pig intestines and brought them in.
"Mom, according to your trick, the cost of this dish is not in the pig intestines, but in the washing process."
As soon as Feng Yun came back, he filled his large intestine with wood ash. Half an hour later, he soaked it in a small amount of wine.
Apart from anything else, wine is expensive, and it is a real waste to use it to wash pig intestines.
“You’ll know how delicious it is when you put it in your mouth.”
Feng Yun took the pig intestine and smelled it. Only a faint aroma of wine and a little bit of flavor was left. After stir-frying it with shredded ginger and chili peppers, the smell was almost gone.
Hu Chunxing was not interested in this. She looked at it for a few seconds and went back to reading.
When passing by the yard, Hu Chunxing glanced at Zhou Xiong a few times.
Zhou Xiong was suspicious, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Hu Chunxing thought about it and walked up to him.
Zhou Xiong is very tall, and Hu Chunxing, like Hu Chunhua, belongs to the petite category. When standing in front of Zhou Xiong, they have to look up at him slightly.
"My eldest sister has a gentle nature and is too kind. She can tolerate anything and doesn't care about anything. But I hope you don't take her concessions and kindness for granted. Husband and wife should make progress together and get better and better. When she is bullied, you must stand up bravely.
I know that you will go to join the army after you get married. You are familiar with the people there. My eldest sister will be alone. At that time, your attitude is the most important. If she is wronged and you don’t support her, but instead care about the neighborhood and brotherhood, my eldest sister will really be isolated and helpless.
I hope you know who is most important."
Zhou Xiong became serious, "Don't worry, I know everything."
Hu Chunxing exhaled, "My eldest sister is very kind, but she also has shortcomings. I hope you can tolerate those shortcomings now and not make a big deal out of them in the future."
Hu Chunhua covered her mouth and felt like crying.
The third sister is usually quiet, but she has a very soft heart.
"Chunhua is very good." Zhou Xiong said solemnly, "I'm not as good as you think. I can't promise anything else, but protecting her is what I want to do most. I can guarantee it."
After hearing this, Hu Chunxing didn't say anything more and walked past him into the house.
Hu Chunhua looked at Hu Chunxing's back and said, "This is the first time in my life that Third Sister has said something like this for someone else."
Zhou Xiong didn't know about the previous situation of the Hu family, so he didn't know what kind of person Hu Chunxing was. He was very surprised to hear Hu Chunhua say this.
"Does she talk very little?"
"Hmm," Hu Chunhua thought about it, not knowing what to say.
Chun Xing has had almost no presence at home since she was a child. She always chooses the farthest place to work. She finally found a job in the city, but she almost never comes back after work.
"Third sister is very good. She is the most promising child in our family. She will definitely be even better in the future."
Zhou Xiong hummed, "Everything will get better."
