He Yan started learning to write essays after he entered the third grade. Since he also read comic books on a regular basis, writing essays was not difficult for him. In exams, he would either get full marks for his essays or lose one or two marks.
But the word count requirement for third grade essays was low, only 300 words, and He Yan had never written a censorship before and had no idea how to write it. So after sitting down at the desk, he bit the pen for a long time and only managed to utter three words - censorship.
He Dongchuan didn't know about the children's fight. After returning home, he played with his daughter as usual. During this time, he saw He Yan chewing a pen from the second bedroom door and asked in a low voice, "He has so much homework today?"
At that time, the homework in elementary school was not that heavy. Chinese usually required copying two pages of new words and phrases, and math required one or two pages of arithmetic problems. He Yan had a good brain and could finish math in ten minutes. He was slower with Chinese, but as long as he didn't get distracted, he would definitely finish it in half an hour.
The military primary school usually finishes class at 4:50, and He Dongchuan gets home around 6:10, so usually when he gets home, He Yan has already finished his homework. Of course, this is an exception when they go out to play.
But if He Yan went out to play after school, he would usually not come back so early. Instead, he would come back slowly around 6:30 when everyone started eating.
Su Ting said: "The homework hasn't been done yet, he's writing the inspection."
"What test?"
"In the afternoon, a group of children in the compound agreed to play a war game, but as they were playing, they broke out into a fight..." Su Ting recounted the whole story, "Because Xiaoyan, Han Bowen and Li Xiaoming had serious cases, Director Qu punished them to write self-criticisms, but he couldn't write and was chewing on his pen."
He Dongchuan: “It’s your fault.”
Slowly follow and learn: "It's time!"
"Who gave Li Xiaoming the wound on his face?"
"I don't know. There was no certainty during the fight. Only after they were pulled apart did they discover that Li Xiaoming had injuries on his face." On the way back, Su Ting asked He Yan and Han Bowen about this question, but did not get an answer.
Su Ting said: "Director Qiu asked Xu Fen to take Li Xiaoming to the health center for a checkup, but I don't know what the result is."
"After dinner, I will go out to ask Li Changshun." Li Changshun is Li Xiaoming's father.
Su Ting thought about it and decided to ask for clarification: "Okay, go ask."
…
After dinner, He Dongchuan went to Li's house.
Although it was Li Xiaoming who was beaten more badly, He Dongchuan didn't think his child was wronged. If it were him, Li Xiaoming would definitely have more than just the injuries on his face.
So when he arrived at Li's house, He Dongchuan did not lower his attitude too much. He simply asked about the test results, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said: "Old Li, if you have any opinions about me, just say it directly. Don't gossip in front of the children. It will affect the relationship between the children."
Li Changshun said in a deep voice: "Captain He, what are you talking about? I have no grudges against you in the past or in the present, so what can I say to you?"
"No problem, but why did your son just say 'your mother is dead' when my son was kind enough to try to stop the fight?" He Dongchuan's face turned cold. "I'm not here today, otherwise if I had heard it, I would have spanked your son."
Li Changshun's face changed. He was a little dissatisfied when He Dongchuan said these words to him.
Because Xu Fen only told him that Li Xiaoming was beaten up by He Yan and Han Bowen, but did not tell him the reason for their fight, so in Li Changshun's heart, his son was the one who was bullied.
If the parents of a child who bullies others say these things in front of him, isn't that just showing off?
But now, Li Changshun couldn't blame He Dongchuan. Everyone was born by their parents, and if he heard others scolding him like that, he would fight with them.
But Li Xiaoming is his son after all. Although he always scolds his child for being useless, he still thinks his son is a good person in his heart. He hesitated and asked, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"What kind of misunderstanding could there be? Not only my son, but Han Bowen also had a fight with your son for this reason, and he admitted it in front of everyone." He Dongchuan said, and then changed the subject, "And your wife, the apology letter she wrote last year was so sincere. My wife and I thought she had repented, but in the evening, she insulted my wife and her children in front of everyone."
Li Changshun frowned: "She didn't tell me about this..."
"She did something shameful, so of course she didn't dare tell me. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask Director Qiu for confirmation. She was there at the time."
Hearing this, Li Changshun's face completely sank.
Because of Xu Fen's rumor last year, several of Li Changshun's comrades distanced themselves from him, and the leaders in the regiment were not as friendly to him as before.
This year is a critical period in his career. Their battalion commander is getting older and wants to change his career. As the deputy battalion commander, he is likely to take a step forward.
If something goes wrong at this juncture, how can he expect to be promoted?
Besides, today's incident, although it was not a big deal and his wife did not have to make a self-criticism, who is Director Qiu? The wife of the local land commander.
It was inevitable that the couple would have some idle chats before going to bed at night, and today's incident was a good topic of conversation. Although Commander Lu might not remember a small deputy battalion commander like him, the promotion application would definitely be submitted to Commander Lu, and he might remember these things by then.
Seeing Li Changshun's expression change several times, He Dongchuan knew what was going on and continued, "I'm not telling you all this to settle accounts with you and your wife, but we are all comrades-in-arms. I want to advise you not to just focus on your work, but to take care of your wife more. Otherwise, no matter how capable you are, if there is someone who always holds you back, offending this person today and that person tomorrow, it will be difficult for you to do your job, right?"
These words touched Li Changshun's heart. He really felt that his job was difficult now. However, he was busy with work and it was impossible for him to keep an eye on Xu Fen all day long. As long as her temper did not change, she would not stop holding him back.
Can Xu Fen change her temper?
Li Changshun felt that it was difficult. Last year, in order to get Xu Fen to apologize on stage, he even said that he was getting divorced. But how long did it take for her to recover? In less than a year, she was back to her old ways.
If he proposed divorce last year just to scare Xu Fen, then today, Li Changshun really had the idea of divorce.
After He Dongchuan left, Li Changshun stood outside alone for a long time.
…
In fact, He Dongchuan was really reluctant to sow discord because it was too insidious.
But after what happened today, he finally understood that Xu Fen was petty and vindictive. If she was holding a grudge against someone else, he could ignore it, but if she was holding a grudge against his wife, he would not be able to feel at ease.
Although so far, Xu Fen has only dared to play tricks behind the scenes and has not threatened Su Ting's personal safety.
But this is not because Xu Fen cannot do it, but because she has not found the opportunity and does not have the courage. However, as malice grows, people will become more and more courageous. If another opportunity comes to her, no one can guarantee that she will not do anything.
Once Xu Fen did it, Su Ting and the two children might be put in danger, and he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Therefore, he could not let Xu Fen continue to stay on Pingchuan Island and live in the family compound.
The most direct way to get Pingchuandao to leave the family compound is to sow discord between the couple, so that Li Changshun will harden his heart and send Xu Fen back to her hometown, or even divorce her.
If the couple had a good relationship, this method would not be easy to implement, but Xu Fen's actions in the past few years had already made Li Changshun lose his patience, and it was too easy to sow discord between them.
Even before He Dongchuan said anything, Li Changshun had his own ideas.
Although Li Changshun did not open up to He Dongchuan, He Dongchuan was good at observing people's expressions and discovered Li Changshun's impatience with Xu Fen during the communication process.
So when he left, He Dongchuan felt that the matter was basically settled. Of course, even if Li Changshun couldn't make up his mind, it didn't matter, he still had a backup plan.
However, after returning home, He Dongchuan did not tell Su Ting about his plans.
Men always hope that they will be great and positive in their wives' hearts.
Well, although he might be a little far from Wei Guangzheng in Su Ting's heart, he still doesn't want her to know what he did behind her back.
Upon learning that Li Xiaoming's examination results were good, Su Ting completely put her worries aside. This is how it is when children fight: if they lose, they worry about their own child's health problems, and if they win, they worry about the other child's health problems.
Therefore, although He Yan was not entirely at fault for the fight, Su Ting and He Dongchuan both felt that he should be taught a lesson, and when he was writing the self-criticism with great anxiety, neither of them had any intention of giving him any guidance.
Not only did they not give any guidance, but after He Yan finished writing the self-examination, the two of them also found a lot of faults and sent it back to him for rewriting several times. In the end, this self-examination was handed in to Director Qiu on time.
Director Qiu asked Su Ting about this again. Han Bowen and Li Xiaoming's examination results were both submitted the next day, but there was no news from He Yan. She suspected that he had forgotten about this matter.
But when the self-examinations were handed in, Director Qiu was most satisfied with He Yan's self-examination among the three. Firstly, his was the one with the most words, about 800 to 900 words, while the other two only had 300 to 400 words each. Secondly, the other two only briefly narrated what happened and then admitted their mistakes and that was it. The content was not as profound as what he wrote.
After reading the examination, Director Qiu said to the others, "He Yan is indeed the top student in the grade. His examination is better than that written by other children."
Someone poured cold water on Director Qiu: "Xu Fen's medical examination last year was also written very well."
When Director Qiu heard Xu Fen's name, her face fell: "Their situations are different and they can't be compared together." She had not met many people like Xu Fen who refused to change despite repeated warnings in her life.
"Too."
…
The gang fight came to an end, and the He family father and son began to get busy.
He Yan was preparing programs for the Children's Day party. This year was the third year that the military primary school had held the party, and the preparations were much more organized than the first year.
As soon as May began, each class teacher worked with the music teacher to plan the programs for each class and quickly asked the children to rehearse.
As a veteran who has performed on stage for two consecutive years, He Yan was of course present at this year's Children's Day party. However, this year he did not sing, but instead organized a drama performance with several classmates in his class.
At first, Teacher He did not approve of He Yan's acting in a drama, because he was the lead singer of the chorus program, and the chorus program was one of the most popular programs in the past two parties.
As for why the chorus program was so popular, Teacher He felt that He Yan had made an indispensable contribution. After all, there were hundreds of students in the military district primary school, and there were not many children like him who were good-looking, open-minded, and had clear voices.
But after singing for two consecutive years, He Yan really didn’t want to continue singing this year, and he also wanted to challenge himself, so he chose to perform in a drama.
A forced melon is not sweet. Since the student wanted to perform in a drama so much, Teacher He couldn't force him.
However, the music teacher gave her an idea and asked He Yan to perform in both programs. After all, the chorus program was a standing performance, and He Yan had experience and a good voice, so he should not need to spend much time rehearsing.
Teacher He also seriously considered this proposal, but she soon found that it was unreliable.
The chorus program will not take up too much of He Yan's time, but the drama performance does.
Not only do you have to memorize the lines for a drama, you also have to be able to act. However, the participants in this program are all teenagers who knew nothing about acting. Even if some of them are talented and learn quickly, a drama is not a one-man show. It requires communication and interaction. It is useless for one person to be talented.
There is only one way to make this show outstanding, and that is to rehearse more.
Even if He Yan could adjust his schedule, his voice couldn't handle it. He was the lead actor in the play, had a lot of lines, and his character was emotional, so his voice was high, which was very demanding on his voice. Singing was even more of a stretch, as it was a show that relied entirely on his voice.
If He Yan were to be on both shows, the final result would most likely be that his voice would become hoarse before the party even started, and he would then be unable to be on either show.
Therefore, He Yan can only take care of one of these two programs.
As for which side to take care of, He Yan had her own ideas in her mind, and she could only find someone else to lead the chorus program.
Although there was only one show, the rehearsal task for the drama was heavy. In order to achieve the best results, Teacher He exempted the students participating in the performance from morning self-study and the last class in the afternoon. He also asked them to set aside one hour each for training at noon and in the evening.
Therefore, He Yan was really busy during this period.
He Yan is busy, and He Dongchuan is also busy because the navy is going to hold a competition in July.
In fact, the troops hold various competitions every year. Some are small-scale competitions within battalions and water police districts, some are large-scale competitions within bases and fleets, and some are military-specific competitions that may not be held every three to five years.
Therefore, after the notice came down, the garrison troops on Pingchuan Island entered a tense preparation period from top to bottom.
For such a grand event, the participants cannot be randomly selected. They have to go through internal selection from company to battalion and then to regiment. Basically, those who can make the final list are the elite among the elite of the major fleets of the Navy.
Well, He Dongchuan is one of the elites.
After hearing Su Ting's joke, He Dongchuan was rarely humble: "I don't deserve to be called an elite. I just tried my best. And I may not be able to get a place this time."
Su Ting knew He Dongchuan very well. She knew as soon as she heard him say this that although he was being humble, he was probably still somewhat confident in his heart. Otherwise, he should have said, "I'm just making up the numbers," instead of "I may not necessarily get a ranking."
Even though Su Ting didn't pay much attention to this aspect before traveling through time, she knew with her brain that this competition would be full of experts, so she didn't go along with comforting He Dongchuan, but just smiled and said, "Comrade He, you have a lot of confidence in yourself."
He Dongchuan pretended, "I'm not very confident, but one thing is for sure, I will be very busy in the next two months and may not be able to take care of my family."
"Besides participating in the individual competition, what else do you want to do?"
He Dongchuan said: "Commander Lu asked me to lead the elite of the Marine Corps to appear in this competition."
It has been several years since the Marines were reorganized, but because the domestic situation is relatively peaceful, they have not had the opportunity to go to the battlefield and have only appeared in competitions held within the fleet.
Therefore, this competition was taken very seriously by everyone from the fleet commander to the regiment commander He Dongchuan. The decision to choose He Dongchuan to lead the team was made by the leaders of the garrison. Firstly, he was one of the first officers to participate in the reorganization of the Marine Corps and was familiar with the soldiers. Secondly, he was very outstanding in both individual quality and group command.
In short, He Dongchuan has a very heavy task in this competition.
To show her support, Su Ting patted her chest and said, "You should prepare well. I'll take care of everything at home. You don't have to worry." Then she remembered something, "By the way, when will your competition end? Can you take a leave after that?"
"It ends in late July. If I can get a good ranking, it should be easy to take leave."
"What if..." Su Ting didn't finish her words and slapped her lips twice, "Pah, look at my mouth. You are so good, you will definitely get a good ranking."
He Dongchuan didn't mind Su Ting's slip of the tongue. After the final list came out, the superiors called a meeting for those who were going to participate in the competition and introduced the elites of each major fleet to them.
After the conference, the top three in the individual selection, including He Dongchuan, were called into a small meeting to focus on analyzing the opponents they might face this time.
The reason why He Dongchuan is expected to win a place is not because of his personal arrogance, but the result of analysis after meetings within the garrison.
He had three main opponents in this competition. One of them was from the Shanghai base. He Dongchuan had fought him in a previous competition and he won that time. As for the other two, He Dongchuan had only heard of their names and had never met them, so it was difficult to compare who was stronger.
According to internal analysis, if there is no dark horse in this competition and he performs normally, he will most likely get third place. If he performs exceptionally well, second or first place is not impossible.
Therefore, the standard set for him this time was to maintain third place and strive for first place.
So the good ranking that He Dongchuan mentioned is at least third place.
Although he is confident in himself, the situation on the field changes rapidly and no one can predict the result before the game is over.
He Dongchuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's see about going back to your home in July. If the situation is good, I will take a few more days off. If it's not so good, I will take a few fewer days off and try to accompany you back."
"Okay," Su Ting nodded, and after thinking about it, she added, "Good luck in the competition!"
He Dongchuan laughed: "It's only May, it's too early to talk about this now."
Su Ting changed her tone and said, "Then keep training."
"Come on for me. Saying it with your mouth is not enough." He Dongchuan said as he hugged Su Ting to him, put his big hand on the back of her head, tilted his head slightly and kissed her, saying, "I need to maintain my strength during the training period, so I may not be able to take care of you in the next two months..."
It also means "not caring enough", but the suffix "home" and "you" have very different meanings. The former expresses simple worry, while the latter makes it sound as if she is being too demanding and dissatisfied.
Su Ting was unwilling to take the blame, so she put her hand on his chest, tilted her head back to avoid his kiss and said, "I don't need you to care about me. You should practice your courage. It doesn't matter if you don't come back at night."
"It doesn't matter to you, but I do." He Dongchuan sat up and leaned forward following the extent of Su Ting's backward lean. Finally, he pressed her under him and kissed her body while saying, "I am not satisfied, and you have to satisfy me."
…
That night, the two of them slept too much, and He Dongchuan was finally satisfied. The next day, he plunged into intensive training, starting to go out early and return late.
What followed was a decline in the quality of the He family's dinner food. Over the past two years, He Dongchuan's cooking skills have become more and more sophisticated, surpassing the canteen chefs by a lot.
Of the three meals a day, the one the brother and sister look forward to most is dinner.
When she was half a year old, Su Ting rarely breastfed her.
Because breast milk does affect breast shape, the colleagues and friends she knew in her previous life all had sagging breasts after the breastfeeding period ended, and in the most serious cases, the breasts completely sunken.
If Su Ting had not been worried about insufficient nutrition in milk powder and her baby's health being damaged, coupled with the high infant mortality rate in this era, she would not have considered breastfeeding at all.
After breastfeeding for half a year, seeing that Man Man was getting healthy and the formula milk that He's mother got was really good, and that babies of this age were old enough to eat complementary foods, Su Ting slowly stopped breastfeeding her.
For Manman, the process of weaning from breastfeeding was not difficult. She was not raised on breast milk alone, and she was very enthusiastic about new foods, so she did not make much of a fuss during the process and accepted it very naturally.
Su Ting, on the other hand, suffered from chest pain due to weaning for a while, but this process exists whether you wean early or late, so you can only force yourself.
As she turned one year old, Su Ting gradually stopped giving her milk powder and started letting her eat with them, but she ordered an extra half pound of milk every morning.
After eating complementary food for half a year, her stomach gradually adapted well. But I don’t know why, she drank a lot of milk every day before she was one year old, and she was fine at that time, but now she doesn’t like to drink fresh milk even after I ordered it.
Moreover, although He Yan didn't like to drink milk before, he could still drink it if Su Ting asked him to. Now, I don't know if it's because they found an ally or something, but it's twice as difficult to get the two siblings to drink milk.
How to get the brother and sister to drink milk obediently has become Su Ting's most worrying thing at the moment.
On the other hand, because the quality of the dinner has dropped, the siblings miss their dad a lot now. Every day when it’s almost dinner time, they ask, “Is Dad coming home today?”
When they found out that it wouldn’t happen, they were very disappointed and didn’t even enjoy their dinner.
Su Ting didn't want to affect He Dongchuan's training, so she didn't tell him about this. But her two children had poor appetites, and she was worried, so a few days later, she decided to cook the meal herself.
This decision was not made because Su Ting had no self-awareness.
It is said that one should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence. Su Ting saw that He Dongchuan had been cooking for two years, and even if he was cooking with just a piece of wood, his cooking skills would not be without improvement.
At least in terms of vegetable cutting skills, she is no worse than the vegetable cutter in the cafeteria.
As for cooking skills, although she had only cooked a few times alone in the past two years, she had watched He Dongchuan cook for two years and had memorized the steps. She also cooked under He Dongchuan's guidance. Although the taste of her dishes was not as good as He Dongchuan's, she felt that she was not much different from the canteen chef.
So after breakfast that day, Su Ting did not start reviewing immediately as usual, but went out to the seafood supply station. She planned to steam two crabs, stir-fry a plate of clams, make some soup, and stir-fry some vegetables.
The brother and sister disagreed about Su Ting's decision to cook.
After eating the dishes cooked by Su Ting many times, she had the impression that they tasted very good, so when my mother wanted to cook, she raised her hands and feet in agreement.
As for He Yan, the two braised pork meals left a deep impression on him. So even though Su Ting had performed well in the past year, his father was always at home and his mother had to cook alone. He Yan had no confidence.
However, Su Ting is very confident in herself.
Of the four dishes, except for the stir-fried clams which require culinary skills, the others are very simple. The soup is a quick soup, the vegetables are quick dishes, and steamed crabs are even easier to make. Just wash them and steam them in a pan. These are just two steps. She would not have made a mistake two years ago, not to mention that her cooking skills have improved a lot now.
Su Ting did not fail with the steamed crabs, but she failed with the stir-fried clams and the stir-fried vegetables.
The vegetables were cooked with too much salt because of a shake of the hand, but the clams were really messed up for some unknown reason. The process was correct and the amount of seasoning was almost the same, but the taste was weird.
However, although the two dishes she cooked poorly were not that delicious, they were not bad either. Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Su Ting still served the dishes on the table.
After the dishes were served, Su Ting coughed and said, "The clams and greens are not well-seasoned. You guys just eat them."
I slowly lost track of my mother's lack of performance and answered obediently, "Yes!"
He Yan looked at the dishes on the table, swallowed hard, licked his lips and asked, "Mom, can I eat the crab first?"
Slowly, he followed his brother's steps, holding up the spoon and saying, "Crab! Crab!"
Su Ting agreed immediately, took a crab and gave it to He Yan, then broke off the legs of another crab, cut it open with scissors, took out the crab meat inside and put it into the girl's bowl.
The steamed crab meat was tender and slightly sweet. I slowly finished a crab leg and said approvingly, "Crab, delicious!"
"It's mainly because of the good crabs." Su Ting said modestly, shamelessly taking all the credit on herself.
After eating the crabs and drinking the seaweed egg soup, He Yan could no longer ignore the remaining two dishes. He gritted his teeth, reached out his chopsticks, picked up a clam and stuffed it into his mouth.
As I saw it, I said, "I want one too!"
Su Ting also picked up the clams, used chopsticks to scrape off the clam meat, and put it into her bowl. She said unsurely, "It may taste a little strange, but it should be edible."
He Yan, whose chewing movements were becoming increasingly difficult, said: "...I think so."
Compared to her brother's euphemism, she was much more direct. As soon as she took a bite of the clam meat, she frowned and said, "It feels weird."
"It's okay to spit it out if you don't like it." Su Ting said that although she planned to finish the food, she didn't plan to force her two children to eat it.
Although Su Ting's tone was not pitiful, and she even had a gentle smile on her face, He Yan always felt that her mother's words sounded pitiful, so he softened his heart and said, "Actually, even if you eat a lot, the taste is still okay."
In order to prove that what he said was true, He Yan made up his mind and grabbed another clam and stuffed it into his mouth.
Watching her brother's actions, she slowly widened her eyes in shock, then chewed the clam meat in her mouth again, but the meat was chewed into pieces, and she didn't think the clam meat had become very delicious, but she could swallow it.
After swallowing the clam meat, she slowly asked her mother to pick another clam for her. She wanted to be like her brother!
Although the two children were very supportive, in the end, not even the clams and vegetables were eaten completely.
However, Su Ting was already very touched, so after finishing her meal, she asked the two children with a smile: "What do you want to eat tomorrow? I will buy it for you in the morning?"
He Yan, who had finished the soup and continued to drink water like crazy because the vegetables were too salty, froze when he heard this.
Man Man was very supportive and shouted, "Crab, crab!"
"Okay, I'll buy a few more crabs tomorrow. What about you, Xiaoyan? What do you want to eat?"
He Yan said in a harsh tone: "I'm fine with either. It's up to you to decide, Mom."
"Then I'll take care of it tomorrow." Su Ting said as she was thinking about what to cook tomorrow night.
She definitely can’t make stir-fried clams. It’s already failed once. She doesn’t know what the problem is. She might fail again tomorrow. Braised fish is also not a good idea. She doesn’t know how to fry fish. A big dish like sweet and sour spareribs is even worse. It’s more difficult than stir-fried clams and is more likely to fail…
After going through the dishes she could cook in her mind, Su Ting finally chose stir-fried pork with green peppers. She had made this dish several times under the guidance of He Dongchuan, and the response was good. It could be considered her specialty.
If she fails again this time, she will never cook again and will just eat in the cafeteria.
Well... Su Ting didn't fail this time, but her performance was still not very good. The taste of the shredded pork with green pepper was not as good as the one she cooked under the guidance of He Dongchuan.
So after this meal, Su Ting announced: "I have decided that starting from tomorrow, we will eat in the cafeteria for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
He Yan suddenly raised his head and asked with sparkling eyes: "Mom, you're not going to cook?"
Although she knew that her cooking skills were not very good, seeing He Yan so happy, Su Ting couldn't help but grit her teeth and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, Mom can continue to cook."
After spending a long time with Su Ting, He Yan gradually understood her temper. When he saw her smile like that, he knew that what she was going to say next could not be understood literally.
Combining the context, He Yan said carefully: "Although I really want to eat the food cooked by my mother, I hope that my mother can have a good rest. Cooking is very tiring."
He Yan knew Su Ting's temper, and Su Ting naturally knew what he was thinking, but since she felt comfortable with what he said, she smiled and said, "Okay, since you care so much about Mom, I won't cook for you anymore."
Cooking is so tiring. It takes her at least an hour to make three dishes and a soup. Not only does cooking produce a lot of smoke, but it also easily spills oil. She cooked for two days and had three or four oil spots on her hands and a pimple on her face.
Let’s continue eating in the cafeteria.
In the evening, He Dongchuan came back and found out that Su Ting had changed her mind. He laughed at her for a long time: "I told you not to waste your time."
To Su Ting, who had finally rekindled her interest in cooking but failed again, He Dongchuan's smile was not very harmful, but extremely insulting. She narrowed her eyes and said, "What? My hands are itchy, can't I do that?"
He Dongchuan didn't dare to shake his head, and quickly said, "Okay, great, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you, okay?"
"Can you rest tomorrow?" Su Ting asked in surprise. She thought He Dongchuan would not have any vacation in the next two months.
He Dongchuan said: "Of course you can. You have to combine work and rest."
"Then I want to eat stir-fried clams, fried shrimps, sweet and sour spare ribs, and braised fish." Su Ting listed all the dishes she had thought of in the past two days but failed to cook or was afraid to cook.
"Okay, how about fried clams and deep-fried shrimps in the morning, and sweet and sour spare ribs and braised fish in the evening?" He Dongchuan asked while taking off Su Ting's clothes.
Su Ting agreed with a smile, and held back someone's messy hand: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Go to sleep, sleep later." He Dongchuan nodded, and then added, "This is also called a combination of work and rest."
Su Ting: ...What a combination of work and rest!
