Chapter 101 Chapter 101 The Northwest Style of Braised Mushrooms with Goat Milk...
Su Tianli finally saw Wang Xuezhao.
but--
Su Tianli quickly exclaimed, "Sister Xuezhao, you...are pregnant?"
Wang Xuezhao was startled, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she smiled and said, "You are the only one with sharp eyes!"
"How long?"
"Almost three months."
"Then why are you running around? I couldn't find you when I went to the farm the day before yesterday!"
"I happened to be on a business trip to the 623rd Corps that day... so I missed you, didn't I? And since it's rare for you to come back now, I followed you to Satellite City..."
Having said this, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Su Tianli, "Sister Xuezhao, you have to take care of your health!"
Wang Xuezhao, "Lizhi, where is your boyfriend? I heard he is very handsome... Let me take a look at him!"
Su Tianli chuckled and said with a blushing face, "I'll take you to Uncle Jiang first! Cheng Yu will be there soon."
Wang Xuezhao felt a little strange, "I never heard that you were very familiar with Uncle Jiang before."
Su Tianli briefly explained Cheng Yu's life experience.
Wang Xuezhao was silent for a while, "His life experience... is quite similar to mine!"
Su Tianli then remembered that Wang Xuezhao seemed to be a real and fake daughter as well.
However, Wang Xuezhao's life story should only be known by Jiang Guoying and others who went to the countryside with her.
Su Tianli came to Farm 109 in 1973.
I've only heard about it vaguely and don't know the details.
Wang Xuezhao smiled and told his life story in a few words.
Su Tianli was amazed, "Perhaps this is the true portrayal of God's will to give a man a great responsibility, and first make him suffer and work hard..."
Wang Xuezhao laughed and scolded, "Go to hell! You have a heavy task to do! Future neurosurgeon Su Tianli!"
Su Tianli pursed her lips and smiled.
As they were talking, the two of them arrived at Jiang Yao's ward.
Xu Jiaxi and her parents are already here.
Seeing Su Tianli coming,
Xu Jiaxi came over quickly, "Lizhi, where did you and Xiaoyu go last night..."
Su Tianli's face turned red.
Wang Xuezhao greeted Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, "Hello, Uncle Xu, Hello, Aunt Xu!"
The old couple was stunned.
Seeing that the person coming was Wang Xuezhao, he quickly greeted him.
turn out to be--
Wang Xuezhao's parents were also acquaintances of the old Xu couple.
For the Xu family, their daughter Xu Jiaxi's decision to divorce is still a family scandal - it's not that it can't be talked about, but it must be announced to the world after the divorce.
Otherwise, given He Jingdong's shamelessness and entanglement, the divorce process would definitely not be smooth.
The Xu family didn't want outsiders to come and watch the fun.
So, Mr. Xu asked Wang Xuezhao, "Why are you here?"
Wang Xuezhao pointed at Su Tianli and said, "Lizhi is my best friend. I heard that she is back, so I have to rush over to meet her."
Only then did Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu look at Su Tianli seriously.
To be honest, with He Jingdong's "beads and jades" in the past,
They originally had no prejudice against each other, but now they no longer believe that true love can arise between people from different social classes.
But Cheng Yu is from the Xu family.
They felt that as elders, they could not let Cheng Yu follow in Xu Jiaxi's footsteps - so when Cheng Yu introduced Su Tianli to them yesterday and said that she was his girlfriend, they took the cold shoulder.
They were just afraid, what if Su Tianli was also a "person with ulterior motives" like He Jingdong?
But now, what Wang Xuezhao said was implicitly endorsing Su Tianli.
At this time, Jiang Yao, who was half lying on the hospital bed, also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Lizhi and Xuezhao are also very good friends! Our Xuezhao is very capable, managing such a large state-owned farm! He is also a national advanced model collective!"
"Lizhi is also amazing! Don't be fooled by her young age, she's only in her early twenties... In fact, she has been responsible for the epidemic prevention work of nearly 10,000 people since she was 17 or 18 years old. Over the years, their Farm 109 and the five nearby villages are the only places that have never had an epidemic outbreak!"
"I'm not kidding. You must know that most of the local farmers in our Northwest make a living by grazing, and most of the water sources are polluted by livestock feces. Parasitic diseases are spreading unscrupulously in this land..."
"But! Farm 109 and the five nearby villages don't have this disease! To be more precise, Farm 109 doesn't have it."
"But farmers in nearby villages have this disease... From that time on, Lizhi, who was still very young, appealed and ran around everywhere, which attracted the attention of the higher authorities, and then a medical team was sent to provide free medical treatment for the villagers."
"Since then, Lizhi has been following up on the villagers' treatment! After a few years, most of those who had parasitic diseases have recovered, and there are no new cases! This is thanks to Lizhi's surprise home visits every now and then and its constant contact with the village committee to carry out health evaluation activities with a reward and punishment system..."
"This makes the villagers realize that keeping clean and hygienic can make the body healthier!"
"Look, Lizhi has been named a model student for several years in a row, and people from many other places come to copy Lizhi's homework!"
"Here, lychee is this!" Jiang Yao said, giving a thumbs up.
Hearing this, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu looked at each other.
Su Tianli smiled and changed the subject, "Uncle Jiang, how do you feel today?"
Her original intention was to ask Jiang Yao if he felt uncomfortable after staying up so late yesterday.
Jiang Yao was eager to endorse her, "I'm fine! I'm still waiting for you to get into a medical university and become a doctor... Then you can perform surgery on me and bring me back to health!"
Wang Xuezhao said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, Lizhi wants to study neurosurgery! It has nothing to do with your illness!"
Jiang Yao laughed, "Really?"
Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu looked at each other again.
Jiang Yao and Wang Xuezhao sang the same tune:
Jiang Yao asked: "Lizhi, it's good that you want to take the college entrance examination...but can you definitely pass it?"
Wang Xuezhao replied, "Uncle Jiang, what are you talking about? Of course Lizhi will have no problem! She just had bad luck and missed the first two college entrance exams. In fact, her grades are quite good, and she will have no problem getting into a top university! Besides, you should know Lizhi's character - as long as she wants to do something, she will succeed."
Su Tianli: ...
Of course she knew why Jiang Yao and Wang Xuezhao said that.
But in fact——
She didn't really care what the Xu family thought of her.
After all, Cheng Yu doesn't care much.
Just as I thought of this, Cheng Yu appeared.
He simply ignored Xu Jiaxi, Mr. Xu, and Mrs. Xu.
He greeted Jiang Yao first, then looked at Su Tianli, "...Lychee!"
Before Su Tianli had time to talk to him,
Wang Xuezhao exclaimed, "Wow!" "Lizhi, he is your boyfriend? So handsome!"
Yes, Cheng Yu just went to tidy himself up.
He had no aesthetic sense before.
The poor don't deserve it.
Being able to maintain the most basic clothing to cover his body is already very decent for his level.
Later, when he found out that Lizhi liked his looks, he started thinking about how to dress.
This time when he came to the Northwest, Lizhi asked him to buy a thick coat to keep warm when he changed trains halfway.
So he bought two.
One is a cotton-padded jacket handmade by local people - the outside is made of gray rabbit fur, and the inside is made of cotton cloth spun by themselves and sewn with cotton. This cotton-padded jacket... because it is hand-sewn, it is ugly and loose, but it is first-class windproof and warm, and it is also cheap, only 20 yuan.
The other cotton-padded jacket was something he saw at a train station when someone was holding it high with both hands and saying he wanted to sell it.
The other party was a man in his thirties with an outstanding temperament. It was said that his wallet was stolen and he couldn't even afford a ticket home, so he had to sell his 90% new dark gray tweed double-breasted British-style slim coat, and the asking price was also twenty yuan.
At that time, Cheng Yu was just thinking: This woolen coat is not very thick. Although the winter in Guangzhou is short, there are still a few days in a year when I can wear this coat.
Besides, he tried it on and thought it fit him well, so he bought it.
Just now Lizhi asked him to clean it up?
So Cheng Yu put on this woolen coat.
He was thin to begin with, and after taking off his bulky cotton coat and putting on a fitted woolen coat, he looked a lot fresher.
He also re-combed his hair - his hair was originally a little long, covering the tips of his ears; he probably didn't have time to get a haircut, so he had to ask someone to help him take care of it. They only cut the hair covering his ears, but left the hair on his forehead intact.
Plus he has thick hair...
A very youthful hairstyle.
And that British-style woolen coat makes him look very stable and calm...
These two completely different styles are displayed on him at the same time, and there is an indescribable harmony and beauty.
After hearing Wang Xuezhao's praise,
Cheng Yu's face flushed, and he glanced at Su Tianli secretly. Sure enough, he saw surprise, joy and fascination in her eyes.
Cheng Yu was delighted.
The Xu family was impressed by the elegant and charming Cheng Yu. The key point was that Cheng Yu really looked like Xu Jiashu, the eldest son of Mr. Xu who passed away early.
The Xu family also looked at Cheng Yu with admiration and love in their eyes.
Su Tianli took Cheng Yu's hand and introduced him to Wang Xuezhao, "He is my boyfriend, his name is Cheng Yu."
Wang Xuezhao exchanged a few words with Cheng Yu with a smile on his face.
Then she suggested, "I brought a camera today! How about we take a few photos as a souvenir?" As she said this, she patted her backpack.
Su Tianli readily agreed.
So, Wang Xuezhao took a photo of Su Tianli and Cheng Yu.
Su Tianli, Cheng Yu and Jiang Yao took a group photo together.
Cheng Yu and Jiang Yao also took a group photo.
Su Tianli and Wang Xuezhao also took a group photo...
Xu Jiaxi watched with envy from the side, and mustered up the courage to ask: "Xiao Yu——"
"I, I'll take a picture with you too, okay?"
Cheng Yu flatly refused, "Sorry Aunt Xu, this is inappropriate."
Xu Jiaxi was stunned.
She immediately understood that Cheng Yu not only rejected her request for a photo,
At the same time, he also rejected her as a person.
——Cheng Yu didn’t recognize her!
After realizing this, Xu Jiaxi bit her lower lip and her face turned pale.
Old Master Xu couldn't bear to see this and said, "Xiao Yu, you can't blame your mother entirely! Besides, everyone makes mistakes. Even if she was wrong, you should give her a chance to redeem herself for the sake of blood relationship."
Old Mrs. Xu also said, "Yes, Xiaoyu, we didn't know about this matter before, but now we know... We won't let you suffer any more injustices."
Cheng Yu said, "Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, thank you for your concern for me. But I also want to remind you that we are just strangers who have never met each other. I can't bear your persuasion just now."
The Xu family was all stunned.
"Xiao Yu!" Xu Jiaxi looked at Cheng Yu in shock and murmured, "You said--"
"We are strangers who have never met before..."
Old Master Xu was also stunned, looking at Cheng Yu in disbelief, "Xiao Yu you..."
Old Mrs. Xu was anxious. "Xiao Yu! We are a family! It's not allowed for a family to say that! We will slowly compensate you for the suffering and pain you've endured in the future! You can also tell us what you think... But you are your mother's child, this is unquestionable - otherwise, look at how you and your mother look, you are almost the same!"
"This proves that you are the child of our Xu family! Xiaoyu, stop being angry!" Old Mrs. Xu said anxiously.
Xu Jiaxi stayed for a long time.
After Cheng Yu and Su Tianli ran away last night,
Everyone dispersed.
He Jingdong wanted to talk to Xu Jiaxi again.
Xu Jiaxi refused.
Then, back at the guesthouse, Xu Jiaxi stayed up almost all night.
Her mind was full of thoughts about how to make it up to Xiao Yu in the future.
——Xiao Yu and Jiang Yao have been getting along very well these days. If Xiao Yu wants to follow Jiang Yao's path and go to Northeast University of Technology as a special student, then she can consider accompanying him.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that she must require Xiao Yu to not live on campus and live with her.
If Xiaoyu wants to live in the school dormitory, that’s no problem. On weekends, mother and son can have meals and communicate together.
The main purpose is to make up for and repair the relationship between mother and child.
——Xiaoyu is a good boy, and so is Lizhi.
If they decide to have a relationship with the purpose of getting married, and Xiaoyu wants to go to Northeastern University of Technology,
Xu Jiaxi decided to persuade Lizhi to go to Northeast China to study medicine.
In this way, she can develop a relationship with the two children in advance...
How nice!
Xu Jiaxi even had a rough outline of the future with great anticipation:
She wanted to help the couple settle down in Beijing.
She also has to go back to Beijing.
After all, only in Beijing can the couple rely on their parents' connections to pave the way for them.
Of course, Lizhi is from Guangzhou. If she wants to buy a home in Guangzhou, Xu Jiaxi is also confident that she can buy a property for the couple in Guangzhou!
Xu Jiaxi even thought: Xiaoyu will be an engineer and Lizhi will be a doctor, they will be very busy! Then she can help the couple take care of their children. She can make up for her motherly love that was delayed for more than 20 years for Xiaoyu and Lizhi's children.
She is not old, as she has been doing writing work for many years and her mind is active. I believe she is capable of helping them raise the children.
She has missed Xiaoyu's growth...
Looking back now, she hated He Wanqian when she was still in her cradle - could it be because He Wanqian was Cheng Xi's biological daughter?
Oops, that’s getting off topic.
In short, she will compensate Xiaoyu well in the future.
But Xu Jiaxi never expected that
She has thought of everything...
But Xiao Yu...didn't recognize her? !
Wang Xuezhao and Jiang Yao on the side were also shocked by Cheng Yu's choice.
after all--
Before Cheng Yu found his ancestral home, he was a "vagrant" and a "temporary worker";
The Xu family has the kingdom and connections built by the old man.
If Cheng Yu returns, his status will be like a rocket...
This is what He Jingdong has spent his entire life wanting to achieve!
But how could he——
Xu Jiaxi looked at Cheng Yu and felt a little sad.
She choked up and said, "Xiao Yu, are you...still blaming me?"
"You blame me, and you should."
"It's true that I'm not a good person..."
"When He Wanqian said that and took me to see you... Honestly, the first time I saw you, I guessed that you might be my biological son."
"Xiao Yu, I'm not trying to whitewash myself, I just want you to know... When I found out that you are my biological child, my first reaction was - He Jingdong is so disgusting, he actually replaced two children with his own hands!"
"So I hate him even more, I..." At this point, Xu Jiaxi held her face with her hands and burst into tears.
Cheng Yu took over Xu Jiaxi's topic, "... Not only do you think he is disgusting, you also think I am as disgusting as he is."
"But He Jingdong didn't believe that I was his offspring and suppressed me in various ways."
"You see it and think it's dog-eat-dog...You're even quite happy in your heart because you're waiting for his retribution - how painful it will be when He Jingdong finds out that the child he abused and bullied is actually his own son."
At this point, Cheng Yu's eyes also turned red.
"It's just that you didn't expect that lychees would appear."
"You hate everyone equally, but for some reason... you have a crush on Litchi."
"You came into contact with me because of Litchi, and then you discovered that I wasn't that annoying after all."
"And I listened to Lizhi's words, and before He Jingdong came to the Northwest, I found you and asked you about the situation... After you calmed down, you realized that He Jingdong and I were not in the same camp. I even let you know the truth in advance, so you moved me from He Jingdong's camp to yours."
Xu Jiaxi was about to collapse.
I have to say that Cheng Yu's words really accurately analyzed her inner thoughts.
What made Xu Jiaxi feel embarrassed was that
It was exactly as Cheng Yu said - after He Wanqian revealed the truth about the baby swap, all of Xu Jiaxi's attention was focused on the fact that she herself had been wronged.
She didn’t think about whether the process would be sad or not…
It was just like what Cheng Yu said - it was because of the appearance of Litchi that Xu Jiaxi gradually came into contact with Cheng Yu and gradually changed her opinion of Cheng Yu...
She then realized that Cheng Yu was actually more like her...
So Xu Jiaxi felt both pain and regret.
"Xiao Yu, you are right," Xu Jiaxi said with tears in her eyes, "I am indeed... just as you said, selfish, narrow-minded, and too self-righteous."
"Will you please forgive me, Mom?"
"I will try to be a good mother in the future!"
"Xiao Yu——"
Xu Jiaxi was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
Cheng Yu's eyes were red, and he said slowly: "Aunt Xu, your apology is very sincere."
"But I'm sorry, I can't forgive you."
"because--"
Cheng Yu cried out in sadness, "Because the me before... was so pitiful!"
"When I see you, I will hate you and will always think of your indifference."
"If I accept your apology... then did Cheng Yu, before he was 23, deserve to be treated like that?"
Xu Jiaxi had tears streaming down her face, but she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to let herself cry out loud.
Cheng Yu continued, "Aunt Xu, let's just keep our distance from each other from now on!"
"You, who have been hurt by He Jingdong and Cheng Xi, are a hedgehog covered in thorns."
"And I am another hedgehog who has been hurt by He Jingdong and you."
"We are destined not to be together anymore..."
"Otherwise, whenever you think of me, you will hate the other half of my blood."
"Whenever I see you, I'm reminded of your indifference."
"Let's keep our distance and go our separate ways!"
"This is good for us, too."
After that, Cheng Yu said to Su Tianli, "Lizhi, let's go! Sister Xuezhao came here so early in the morning, she must not have had a good rest at night. Let's invite Sister Xuezhao to the cafeteria for dinner!"
Wang Xuezhao glanced at Su Tianli.
Su Tianli felt that everyone was very emotional right now, so it would be better for them to separate and calm down first.
So Su Tianli nodded at Wang Xuezhao.
Wang Xuezhao said to Jiang Yao, "Uncle Jiang, Lizhi and I will go out first... By the way, have you eaten the honeydew melon No. 7 that I brought you last time?"
Jiang Yao nodded repeatedly, "I ate it, it's so sweet!"
Wang Xuezhao smiled and said, "I brought a sack of fresh vegetables today and have taken it to the patient's kitchen! You will have special meals these days!"
Jiang Yao laughed out loud, "Okay, okay! Thank you, Xuezhao! I'm in for a treat! Hey, in such a remote place, it's hard for us to eat some vegetables. Fortunately, there is your 109 Farm! Okay, okay, you sisters, go get together quickly."
Just like that, Cheng Yu, Su Tianli and Wang Xuezhao left together.
Old Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said with a sad face, "Why is Xiaoyu so stubborn?"
Xu Jiaxi said in a hoarse voice: "Mom, don't blame him...it was my fault in the first place."
Old Master Xu sighed, "He may be stubborn, but he needs to be sensible! We are not harming him! Besides... it will be good for him to be closer to us!"
Xu Jiaxi shook his head, "Dad! You have to understand Xiaoyu too. He doesn't want to acknowledge us, which proves that he doesn't want to be associated with us! This is Xiaoyu's character, and we should be proud of him!"
Old Master Xu said, "What a proud guy! Such a good kid... but he refuses to get close to us, eh!"
Xu Jiaxi whispered: "This is all my fault."
"I'll find a way to make it up to him."
"I will slowly approach him in a way that he can accept."
But Cheng Yu, Su Tianli and Wang Xuezhao walked towards the cafeteria together.
Wang Xuezhao said to Su Tianli, "I brought a big sack of vegetables. We'll ask the chef to make a dish of goat's milk braised white mushrooms! You must be craving for this, right?"
Thinking of the wonderful taste of braised white mushrooms with goat's milk, Su Tianli nodded frantically.
Cheng Yu was surprised: "Braised white mushrooms with goat milk? What kind of dish is this? Isn't goat milk sweet? It can be used for cooking? Is this also a Northwest flavor?"
Su Tianli and Wang Xuezhao said in unison: "It's an innovative dish from Farm 109!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Cheng Yu became even more curious.
At this time——
Suddenly someone shouted, "...Lychee!"
Su Tianli turned around and found that the person calling her was Fu Yan.
Next to Fu Yan is He Wanqian, who has red and swollen eyes and an anxious look on her face?
But He Jingdong was not there.
Su Tianli soon realized that
He Jingdong was already suffering from a back injury, but he was still traveling all the way...
Could it be that something happened to He Jingdong?
