In the afternoon, Tian Yuzhu made lotus root soup!
When she was not at home, Shi Zhentang was bored and cleaned the house inside and out, fed the rabbits, and watered the vegetable garden. He was so bored that he picked his fingers.
I also took the time to read for two hours, then went out and brought back some stones to build a flower bed along the side of the courtyard wall.
His wife said she wanted to plant her favorite flowers in it, so he built it first since he had some free time these days.
At first, he thought of taking more time off to spend time with his wife, but it turned out that she had her own small circle and didn't need him as a personal bodyguard at all.
I finally waited for my wife to come back, and my mood suddenly brightened.
He washed the lotus root and the meat, and his wife just stood by and gave him instructions.
"Jade beads."
Ye Qingqing suddenly came to visit, and her voice sounded a little anxious: "Old Shi, come out and help me answer the phone."
Shi Zhentang hurried out, and Tian Yuzhu put down the salt jar and went out too.
It turned out that Ye Qingqing was holding a cardboard box, saying that it was full of books and very heavy, and she was sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Shi Zhentang hurried forward to take it: "So many books..."
"It's for Yuzhu." Ye Qingqing straightened up and wiped the sweat off her face. "Old Shi, you have to teach her how to read."
He added, "Yuzhu, take your time. You are still so young. Once you know more words and have read all these books thoroughly, we can start planning for the exam."
Tian Yuzhu felt warm in her heart: "...Okay, thank you, Doctor Ye."
In fact, taking the exam was not something she was thinking about, but Ye Qingqing was quite enthusiastic, and Shi Zhentang also wanted her to take the exam.
She stepped forward and said, "Doctor Ye, go call Fei'er over to have dinner at my house. We have lotus root and pork ribs soup today."
Ye Qingqing had been eating in the army canteen. Occasionally, when she tasted Tian Yuzhu's home-cooked meals, she felt as if her taste buds had opened up a new world.
There was no need to be polite at this time, and I agreed readily: "It's still early, so we'll come over in about an hour."
"OK."
After seeing Ye Qingqing off, Shi Zhentang returned to the house and opened the cardboard box.
Wow, there are books from elementary school to junior high school to high school, and there are also books for preparing for the college entrance examination.
It seems that Ye Qingqing put a lot of thought into finding so many books in such a complete set.
Fortunately, there are not too many textbooks in this era. If it were in the new world, every elementary school grade would have a box like this.
But Tian Yuzhu is already having a headache with this box.
Could it be that after traveling to this era, she really has to take part in the cruel college entrance examination?
Even Shi Zhentang frowned: "Liberal arts are fine, but I don't have the ability to teach you science."
"Then we won't take the exam." Tian Yuzhu smiled immediately.
"No, I still think you should take the exam. It would be great to have a stable job in the future. We don't want to do those risky businesses. It's okay if you don't take the exam. I'll support you."
Shi Zhentang looked serious.
Tian Yuzhu raised her eyes and said, "That won't work. It's one thing for you to support me, but it's another for me to have my own career."
Having said that, the college entrance examination is still not within her consideration.
"Put the books in the inner room first. I'll go make two side dishes." Tian Yuzhu quickly fled. It was better not to continue talking about this topic for the time being.
Shi Zhentang moved the books into the inner room and came out to help knead the dough.
Tian Yuzhu also prepared shredded potatoes with dried peppers, stir-fried turnips, and a bowl of steamed egg with chopped green onions, which are An Fei'er's favorite.
In addition, I cooked cabbage soup as usual and added a big pot of lotus root and pork ribs, which was more than enough for four people.
The staple food is steamed buns, which are soft and fluffy white flour buns, sweet and glutinous.
An hour later, Ye Qingqing and An Fei'er arrived on time. An Fei'er's little mouth was still as sweet as ever, and she would call out to everyone she saw.
Although Ye Qingqing speaks less, she is no longer as restrained as before.
At this time, Tian Yuzhu was thinking that when Ye Qingqing was drunk and dreaming, she wanted to beat her up and wake her up, but when she was sober, she was worried about her study problems instead.
Look at this woman, if she didn't indulge in those little love affairs all day long, she would be such a good person!
After everyone finished their meal chatting and laughing, Ye Qingqing offered to wash the dishes with her.
Shi Zhentang immediately took the initiative to take charge: "No need, I'll wash it, you two ladies can rest and chat."
He was so idle that he was almost rusting, and he was looking forward to doing something to stretch his muscles.
Tian Yuzhu asked Ye Qingqing to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.
An Fei'er had already taken Xiao Hei to the yard to play.
Shi Zhentang started to get busy.
The two women in the room chatted casually, and later Ye Qingqing took the initiative to talk about her drinking that day.
"Old An wants to take Fei'er to the Southern District Military Academy, but I don't agree. If that's the case, I'll have to wait for days every time we meet. But Old An says the education level there is higher, and it's all for the good of the child. I'm torn."
Ye Qingqing already had a rough idea of the level of teachers in this military region, such as Liu Xiaohui and Huang Xuehua.
They are housewives who have been idle at home for so many years, and suddenly they start teaching students, which makes parents worry.
Tian Yuzhu thought that was the case, but she didn't want to talk about the drunken incident that day anymore. She just asked, "What do you think?"
Ye Qingqing smiled bitterly: "I just can't make up my mind."
"You can try asking Fei'er who she wants to live with long-term, which is the most important thing."
Diplomas are equally important in this era, but with Anfei's current literacy level, it doesn't matter which school she goes to. Her excellence has surpassed many children.
There shouldn’t be much impact on the primary school stage, so the psychological needs are more important.
After Tian Yuzhu expressed her thoughts, Ye Qingqing pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's right, in fact, at the elementary school stage, let alone elementary school, even junior high school and high school, I can teach."
Ye Qingqing made up her mind and decided to have a good talk with her daughter when she got home.
"Yuzhu, you are so sensible, you will definitely be a good mother in the future." The woman in front of her was becoming more and more impressive. Ye Qingqing even felt that her thoughts and cognition were very complete.
Every time she talked to her, she would gain something different.
Tian Yuzhu said with a smile: "Not necessarily. It depends on whether the child listens to me. If he doesn't listen, then I won't be able to calm down no matter what I do."
"Honestly, have you ever thought about whether you like boys or girls?"
"I like them all."
"Let me feel your pulse again. It's been about a month and a half now!"
Tian Yuzhu thought that was fine. After all, Ye Qingqing was a professional, and she felt relieved when she helped. She said, "I've seen other people's morning sicknesses are quite severe, but I'm fine. I can eat and drink. What's going on?"
"It means you have a good body, which is a good thing." Ye Qingqing placed her fingertips on her pulse and felt it for a while before her eyes suddenly changed.
He looked at Tian Yuzhu with an expression of surprise and disbelief.
The latter asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
