"Siyun is back. Your sister made shredded pork noodles today. I heard that you two started learning to cook recently?"
Lin Siyun nodded.
Meng Changyi smiled and said, "When I have time some other day, I'll try Siyun's cooking."
Lin Siyun nodded again.
Meng Changyi touched his head, causing the little guy to blush from face to ears.
Meng Si Ning couldn't help but smile when he saw it. Is this little guy so weak in praise?
"Come and eat."
"Well, Ningning, you did a good job on this side."
"It's a pity that my uncle is not here today."
"Your uncle doesn't have the luxury of eating this. He's on duty today...haha."
My uncle and aunt are now living in the hospital’s family quarters, and there are only two of them at home.
My cousin works as a doctor at an island station outside, and Meng Sining has never met him.
My cousin was not in the military hospital, but went to the People's Hospital in the city.
Working as an assistant to a surgeon and living in the hospital's staff dormitory, the girl was busy pursuing a young doctor in their hospital.
This cousin didn't like her very much, so they seldom met.
Aunt Meng had dinner here and was helping Meng Si Ning wash the dishes when she whispered to her, "Ning Ning, you're not a child anymore. Your mother is busy and can't take care of you, so I have to worry about the major events in your life. There's a good doctor in our hospital. He's 24 years old, a few years older than you. He's calm and steady, has good medical skills, and comes from a good family. Your uncle is very optimistic about him. The girls in our hospital are all excited when they see him, their eyes are shining. Do you want to meet him?"
Meng Si Ning shook her head repeatedly: "Aunt, I don't want to fall in love now."
"You refused so bluntly, without even considering it? Or do you not want your aunt to intervene?"
"Aunt, I'm just getting started in my youth and don't really want to get married so early."
"While we are still young, we should get in touch with the opposite sex more often and lock on our targets early.
You should learn from Mengmeng, who likes this or that all the time... But this is not good either, you'd better not learn from her, she always makes me and my uncle mad."
Meng Si Ning took her aunt's arm and said, "Aunt, I think Meng Meng is very good. She dares to love and hate."
"It would be better if you two could combine the two. How about you listen to your aunt's advice and meet each other?"
In Meng Si Ning's previous life, she watched her mother raise her alone, which was really not easy. She felt that her mother should find someone to rely on.
Later, when I went to my father's place, I found out that my mother's insistence on her everlasting love was all one-sided.
That father, besides his original wife, had many mistresses, including three, five, and eight women. I don’t know how many women he had.
She also watched the original wife scheming at home all day long.
Home should be a harbor of happiness.
But what she watched were spy war dramas and palace fighting dramas.
Those things had a great impact on her young mind.
So she is very opposed to marriage.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Meng Changyi didn't force her anymore.
He washed the dishes for them, gave her some instructions, and left.
Meng Si Ning slept well that night.
Jiangtang’s situation was not so good. There was no mosquito net and there were too many mosquitoes. Fortunately, there was a fan that Si Ning gave her.
However, there was a fatal problem. She drank a bowl of porridge in the cafeteria at night and wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night but didn't dare to go.
Because the toilet was too far away, I had to hold it in until dawn.
After I came back, I lay in bed and couldn't sleep, but I heard the noise from Aunt Zhang next door.
I looked at my watch and it was time to cook.
Jiang Tang couldn't lie down in the room any longer, so she got up and went to find Aunt Zhang.
"Aunt Zhang, I can't sleep. Let me help you cook."
"It must be Director Jiang who just came yesterday."
"yes."
"It's normal to have trouble sleeping when you first arrive at a place. If you're okay, then I'll be very gracious."
Jiang Tang smiled: "Aunt Zhang, what do you want me to do?"
Aunt Zhang pointed at the beans that the village had sent over yesterday and said, "Please help me pick the beans."
"OK."
The cafeteria is not big and there are not many people eating there, so there are only two big handfuls of beans.
Jiang Tang was picking vegetables while watching Aunt Zhang busying herself in the window.
The stove used here is a wood-burning stove. For convenience, three pots can be placed on one stove.
You can steam buns, cook porridge, and stir-fry vegetables all at the same time.
Jiang Tang saw this kind of stove for the first time and asked curiously, "Aunt Zhang, stoves like this are not common here."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, this is the way they build it in the south. I'm from the south, and when I first started working in the cafeteria, I asked someone to help me build it this way. I cook by myself, so it's convenient."
Jiang Tang nodded: "It's indeed convenient."
Because it is summer, Aunt Zhang steams buns once a day, in the morning and eats them in the afternoon.
Usually one pot of steamed buns is enough.
After the steamed buns have risen, put them in the pot. Prepare the ginger, sugar and beans.
Add water to another pot, and today we have corn grits.
There is only one dish in the morning, stir-fried beans.
Served with a pickled cabbage dumpling.
"I feel a lot more relaxed today because you helped me light the fire."
"You're the only one in the cafeteria, why don't you find someone else?"
"Hey, even though we're a commune, there aren't many people here, and some members go home for dinner. So, at the end of the day, there are only six or seven of us eating in the cafeteria. Except for the morning when time is a bit tight, lunch and dinner are easy to prepare, and I can handle it all by myself."
"What dishes do we have in our cafeteria on weekdays? We only have one dish in the morning. Do the members have any objections?"
