It was a dreamless night. Sun Ye did his daily routine of washing his face, brushing his teeth and combing his hair as usual. What was special was that he would pick up the bamboo broom under the eaves to sweep the dust in the yard, and would take the initiative to help his mother set the dishes for breakfast.
Sun's mother winked at Sun's father proudly and said, "Look, Ye Zi has recovered and is acting like a decent person now."
Sun Ye wanted to slip away after finishing her meal, but she stopped just as she put down her bowl. She sat there obediently, waiting for her parents to finish eating, and then she cleared the table and washed the dishes.
You don't know the value until you try it. It's really shocking. Although the matter may seem small, it really takes time and effort.
Sun's father and mother did not interfere. They went to work after dinner. The chickens had been fed, so there was not much work to do at home. Sun Ye waved her hands and closed the gate. She had to report to the research institute today.
When they met a large group on the way, Professor Liu and his group had obviously recovered from the excitement of yesterday and regained their usual composure.
"Good morning, teacher!"
"Um."
"Xiao Ye Zi, you came just in time today. From now on, just come at this time. Don't be too early or too late."
"I understand, teacher."
Sun Ye still respected his teachers very much. He waited for Professor Liu to leave before catching up, although Professor Liu did not pay attention to these details.
"Xiao Ye Zi, today you should sort out the information you didn't finish yesterday. Brother Lin is counting on you."
Lin Qianjin turned his head and spoke to Sun Ye, but Sun Ye simply ignored him, looking at his nose and his heart, and turning a deaf ear to him.
"Xiao Ye Zi, come on, talk. We're almost leaving. Don't you want to talk to me and chat?"
"Leave? Where to?"
Sun Ye had never thought about this problem. In her heart, Teacher Liu and the others would always be in the Forward Brigade, and she had never considered that they would leave.
Surprised for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin, is the teacher leaving too?"
"Is that even a question? We all came here together, so of course we'll go back together. I haven't seen the alleys of Kyoto in ages..."
Sun Ye didn't hear the rest of the conversation. What would she do now that Teacher Liu was gone? Continue studying, take the high school entrance exam, or go to work in a factory?
It seemed that this was the only way, but she was unwilling to accept it. She couldn't explain why. She also understood that Teacher Liu had no obligation to be responsible for her life, and that teaching her was a matter of fate.
"Then when are you leaving? I'll see you off..."
The following words were barely audible, as if he was having trouble breathing and unable to speak, so they were mumbled in his throat.
Lin Qianjin didn't notice Sun Ye's unstable and depressed mood, so he answered without hesitation: "The shortest time will be ten days and half a month, and the longest will not exceed a month. Once the capital responds to the letter, we will set off."
"That was fast."
"Not fast, I think it's too slow."
Sun Ye lowered her head and stopped asking Lin Qianjin. Perhaps it was because she had always had smooth sailing all the way and her wishes came true, but she had suffered setbacks in two consecutive days and was unable to recover.
She is not the chosen one, and the world does not revolve around her. Everyone has their own things to do. Teacher Liu unveiled the unique mystery of this world for her, so that she does not have to live her life in a muddle like others, and can find a goal and a direction.
Sun Ye was a smart and insightful person. After thinking about it a little more deeply, he figured it out.
All good things must come to an end. She just hopes they take care of themselves. She firmly believes that they will meet again.
However, it is a bit too early to think about this now, as the person hasn't left yet.
"Brother Lin, what is the capital like?"
"The capital is full of alleys. If you're not familiar with the terrain, you'll be stuck once you get in."
"Tsk, you're lying. How could you get lost with a mouth right under your nose?"
Sun Ye immediately retorted that she would never tell others that she had a serious problem with directions and that she relied on the sun, moon and stars in the sky to tell her the directions. As for being in the Advance Brigade, she was very familiar with it and would not get lost again.
"There's a four-story department store with everything you could want. There's nothing you can't find."
He joked with Lin Qianjin along the way, and the journey was quick. They arrived at the research institute in a short while.
After the crowd dispersed, Sun Ye grabbed Lin Qianjin's sleeve and asked him to wait. She asked about the situation in the capital along the way, but the most important issue here was not yet asked.
Sun Ye blinked, pointed at the research institute, and said softly: "Brother Lin, what will happen to this research institute after you leave?"
"ah?"
Lin Qianjin didn't think about it for a moment. He just wanted to travel back to the capital with a light luggage. The equipment in this research institute was originally obtained by his grandfather and others with great effort. He couldn't just abandon it here and let it gather dust.
"We'll have people transport the instruments here back to the capital. This house will probably be left vacant. Perhaps it will be returned to the brigade. It'll be up to the brigade commander to decide how to deal with it."
Only then did Sun Ye take a closer look at the research institute. It was built with good materials and the building was less than ten years old, so it looked very new.
“What about the rice I planted?”
"I don't know about this either. Why don't I ask Professor Liu sometime?"
Sun Ye had the same idea. It was better to ask sooner rather than later. He decided to ask after lunch today. The teacher was busy experimenting with the fertilizer he had just developed.
Sun Ye nodded immediately and turned to walk towards the rice field. The time was still too short and there was no change. Sun Ye also looked at Anxin.
After sprinkling some water on the rice field to replenish moisture, I went to the warehouse to take out the pile of tasks that were not completed yesterday.
Time passed as Sun Ye concentrated on his work. When he looked up, the sun was shining in the sky. It was almost time for dinner. Sun Ye put down the materials, which were less than one-third left, back into the warehouse and hurried home.
It was agreed last night that she would cook under the supervision of Sun's mother. She had to learn how to cook. If she learned how to cook, she could stop cooking and be able to support herself.
"Teacher, I'm going home to eat first."
"Ye Zi, your meal is ready. Don't leave. Stay and eat."
Sun Ye had already run away, and only Sun Ye's voice echoed in the air: "No."
I met Sun's mother and father at the gate of the yard. Their clothes were covered with dust, their faces were covered with black and white stripes, and there was a layer of dust on their necks.
The whole person was gray. Sun Ye paused for a moment before pushing open the gate. Today, he would still cook stir-fried cabbage and cold cucumber salad. The menu would not be changed until Sun Ye could make these two dishes to normal level.
Sun Ye didn't need his mother to say much. He went to the field and cut two small cabbages. There were still cucumbers at home, so there was no need to pick them.
Sun Ye washed the cabbage, while Sun's mother lit the fire, cut the cabbage into sections and placed them on the chopping board.
"The pan is hot, add oil."
Sun Ye took out the oil bottle and shook it slightly. A lot of oil poured out at once, and the oil towel was very wet.
Sun's mother's eyelids jumped, but she managed to calm down and continued, "Use the oil towel to wipe the pot. Don't waste it."
Sun Ye was also very nervous. He folded up the oil towel and quickly wiped the bottom of the pot.
Just look at Sun Ma.
"What are you looking at me for? I'm pouring food."
"Oh oh oh."
Sun Ye grabbed a few handfuls of cabbage, stood far away from the pot, closed his eyes and threw them in. The pot made a sizzling sound, and Sun Ye was startled by it, holding the spatula and moving further away.
Mother Sun’s eyes hurt from watching this. Is it really necessary to cook like this? It’s like fighting a war.
"stir fry!"
Sun Ye saw that the noise had died down, so he slowly approached. Sun's mother pushed Sun Ye to the side of the stove and said, "Don't worry, you won't be able to eat this pot. I'm here."
"Stir-fry it, or it will get mushy."
Mother Sun deliberately turned the fire to the smallest setting, took out all the firewood, and started smoking.
After Sun Ye shoveled the cabbages a few times, some of them fell to the ground. Sun Ye turned around and looked at his mother innocently, wanting to say that she didn't mean it, it was just that the cabbages were disobedient.
"Be gentle! This pot can't handle all the force you're putting on it. If you don't cook the food properly, you'll poke a hole in the pot."
Only then did Sun's mother understand how difficult it was for Sun Ye to fry the burnt cabbage by himself yesterday. She was scared just watching.
Sun Ye just nodded apologetically. He was gentler this time, but he couldn't even turn the cabbage over.
"Put on some more strength! Are you massaging the cabbage?!"
Sun's mother was so angry that she couldn't help but raise her voice, attracting Sun's father to come over and said, "Teach her well, don't be so loud and mean, isn't Ye Zi learning?"
This time, Sun Ye was quite self-aware. He didn't say anything or object, and just followed the instructions.
"If you can do it, come and teach me. I can talk while standing, and my back won't hurt. Come on!"
Father Sun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I can't do it. You do it."
"If you don't, shut up."
Sun Ye smiled, but she didn't expect her mother to notice. "Sun Ye, how dare you laugh!"
"Mom, I'm not laughing."
"Turn the food over quickly, it's burnt!"
"Don't you smell the burning smell? What are you standing there for? Start frying!"
"Use more force or less force?"
"Forget it, forget it. Let me do it. You watch the fire."
Mother Sun snatched the spatula from Sun Ye's hand and started stir-frying skillfully, without any hesitation or hesitation like Sun Ye did.
"Ye Zi, you add the salt."
"Huh? Oh."
Sun Ye held the small salt shaker, feeling it was as heavy as a thousand pounds. He gently scooped a full spoonful. His mother only said, "Are you trying to choke me to death?"
Sun Ye immediately poured out all the liquid except for the bottom and showed it to his mother.
"Not enough."
Sun Ye adds salt to cooking based on his feel, leaving it to fate whether to add more or less.
It took three attempts, and the fourth time it finally met Sun Ma's standard. Cooking this dish not only made Sun Ma tired, but Sun Ye was tired too.
I just sincerely sigh that cooking is not something that humans can do. There are so many rules and standards that it really makes things difficult.
"Ye Zi, let's cook for dinner instead. You'll have more time to do it then. Let's forget about this meal."
Sun Ye felt relieved that he had escaped a disaster. He decided to go back as late as possible.
Sun Ye led a hard life. She went to the research institute to take care of her little rice during the day, and came back to practice her cooking skills at night.
It seemed like just a blink of an eye and a month had passed. The dishes cooked by Sun Ye were barely edible, but still not up to normal standards.
Teacher Liu and the others' expressions became more and more solemn. There was no reply from the capital, not a single message at all. The letters they sent fell into oblivion, without causing any ripples.
Sun Ye's rice has also grown out. It is emerald green, with thick branches. You can tell at a glance that it is growing well.
