Chapter 74 Chapter 74 The cabbage stalks are crisp and sweet, ...
But Su Tianli has already started working in the health center.
The work in the clinic is so leisurely!
On her first day at work, the entire clinic...wasn't even open for business!
——There are only three doctors in the health center:
The oldest male doctor practiced calligraphy and Tai Chi in the dean's office; two female doctors sat at the reception desk, one reading a novel and the other knitting a sweater.
——There are only four nurses in the health center:
The oldest head nurse is about to retire and is now in a semi-disconnected state. She is busy taking care of her grandchildren, buying groceries and cooking, and arranging a marriage for her youngest son...
Sister Tang, a nurse in her early thirties, is Dean Tang's niece. When Dean Tang is not around, Sister Tang is in charge of arranging all matters, big or small.
Then there are the young sisters Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu.
When Su Tianli took Yao Meiyu to study at work,
Sister Tang came over to them and asked, "What are you two doing?"
Su Tianli raised her chin and said, "Sister Tang, I want to take the college entrance examination!"
Sister Tang: ???
Yao Meiyu pointed at Su Tianli and said to Sister Tang, "Didn't Lizhi's job back in the city get taken away by her elder sister? So Lizhi has to take the college entrance exam now to show her ability so that her elder sister can open her eyes and see that our Lizhi is this!"
As she spoke, Yao Meiyu gave a thumbs up!
Su Tianli felt embarrassed when her bestie praised her...
Sister Tang rolled her eyes and asked, "So why don't you two go to night school or something?"
Before Su Tianli could even open her mouth to speak,
Yao Meiyu rushed to say: "Why go to night school! Our Lizhi has good grades, and I rely on her for guidance!"
Sister Tang left thoughtfully.
Su Tianli then said to Yao Meiyu: "Can you be more low-key in front of outsiders in the future?"
"What are you keeping a low profile about?" Yao Meiyu was confused.
Su Tianli, "Don't praise me all the time!"
It's really embarrassing!
Yao Meiyu felt even more strange, "But - if I don't praise you, how will others know that my best friend is so amazing?"
Su Tianli: ...
Forget it,
She cannot choose her reincarnation, and she cannot influence whether her family members are good or bad.
But best friends are chosen by themselves.
What else can I do?
I can only pamper her!
However, what Su Tianli did not realize was that
——In fact, her personality, eating habits, and world outlook are very similar to those of Yao Meiyu, otherwise the two would not be able to get along well.
After a while, Sister Tang came over again, "Xiao Su, I want to ask you something..."
Su Tianli thought Sister Tang was going to assign her a task! "Sister Tang, you tell me!"
Sister Tang said embarrassedly: "My sister-in-law also wants to take the college entrance examination next year. This is actually a good thing. My wife originally planned to enroll her in a night school, but her personality... is introverted. She doesn't want to go out and is afraid of meeting strangers."
"So Xiao Su, can you... also take care of my sister-in-law?"
Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu looked at each other.
Yao Meiyu agreed immediately, "...No problem!"
Sister Tang was so happy that she wanted to go back and report the news.
Su Tianli quickly called Sister Tang, "But Sister Tang, learning still depends on one's own efforts... I have never been a teacher, so I can only say that I can help your sister-in-law learn, but I can't guarantee how far she can learn."
Sister Tang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"
Then she ran away like the wind.
Su Tianli asked Yao Meiyu in a low voice, "Aren't you trying to cause trouble for me?"
Yao Meiyu said confidently, "You are talking nonsense! I am helping you to reduce your burden - don't you think that if Sister Tang's sister-in-law comes to study with us, we can push aside many things in our daily work and let Sister Tang do it!"
Su Tianli: ...
"What if her sister-in-law doesn't get along with us?" Su Tianli asked again.
Yao Meiyu, "Don't worry! We can get along, absolutely!"
Sure enough, Sister Tang called her sister-in-law Lin Lin over that day.
Su Tianli took a look and found that she was indeed a timid young girl.
Lin Lin might really be a super socially anxious person.
She must have known Yao Meiyu before, so when Yao Meiyu said ten sentences to her, she could still reply two or three sentences, and the rest were all "hmm" and "OK"...
Su Tianli also tentatively wanted to say a few words to Lin Lin.
Then--
Lin Lin ran away in a panic.
Su Tianli: ???
Yao Meiyu smiled and leaned forward and backward, "Now you believe that Sister Lin is an easy person to get along with, right?"
Su Tianli was both amused and confused.
Next, she continued to read with her head down.
At noon, Sister Tang said with a smile that she would invite Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu to have dinner at a state-owned restaurant as a thank you gift for their willingness to take Lin Lin to study.
Su Tianli declined, "Thank you, Sister Tang. My family will bring me food later."
Yao Meiyu, "Thank you, Sister Tang. I'll have dinner at Lizhi's house later."
Sister Tang thought about it and said, "Okay then!"
only--
After a while, Sister Tang brought over a lunch box, "Here, this is for the two of you to eat at noon."
Yao Meiyu took a look and was surprised to see a box full of braised pork!
Of course, it looks like something from a cafeteria.
It’s better to have something than nothing!
"Thank you, Sister Tang!" Yao Meiyu asked, "Will Sister Lin eat with us?"
Sister Tang looked embarrassed, "Next time!"
Although Sister Tang didn't say why,
But Su Tianli didn't need to guess at all, she knew that Lin Lin must have disappeared again.
It's really rare to find a girl with such social anxiety.
After a while, Su Dejun came on his broken bicycle to bring food to Su Tianli.
The bike that Su Dejun was riding was given to Su Tianli by Dean Tang.
Now that Su Tianli is rich, she asked Cheng Yu to buy two cars.
After Cheng Yu repaired the car... Su Dejun shamelessly asked for it.
The reason he asked for the car was, "Lizhi, you have to go to work, and I will deliver meals to you every day from now on."
Su Tianli didn't know whether his real intention was to own a bicycle or to repair the relationship between him and his daughter.
In short, Su Tianli did not reject her father's kindness.
First, free meals are the best.
First, no matter how bad the food at home is, it is better than that in the cafeteria.
Su Tianli opened the lunch box her father brought and found the dishes inside, including stir-fried Chinese cabbage, stir-fried beans and peas, and stir-fried leeks and eggs...
The bottom of the dish was filled with rice.
So she opened the lunch box given by Sister Tang, revealing a box full of braised pork, and asked Yao Meiyu, "How many pieces do you want?"
Yao Meiyu glanced at the lunch box and said with disdain, "Why are they all fat ones... Have a piece to show your appreciation!"
Su Tianli first poured all the food her father had sent into Yao Meiyu's empty lunch box.
Then he took the spoon and carefully scraped off several pieces of lean meat from the braised pork. He then poured the remaining braised pork, as well as the pieces of braised pork with only fat left, back into the master's lunch box and handed it back to him, "Take it back and eat with A-di."
Su Dejun held the box of braised pork and asked Su Tianli nervously, "Sister, is the food delicious? Is it salty?"
Su Tianli asked belatedly, "Did you cook the dishes?"
Su Dejun nodded.
"good."
"Shall I bring you some soup tomorrow?"
"No need. Grandma cooks soup every night." Su Tianli said.
She's not talking nonsense.
Now that the family is doing night market business, Ajuan asked someone to order pork. Every day someone delivers three pounds of pork belly, mainly for making dumplings.
Su Tianli asked grandma to cut at least a palm-sized piece of meat every day as a snack for everyone.
As for Old Lady Su, she also accurately understood Su Tianli's taste preferences. She usually used lean meat to make soup, and stir-fried fattier meat after the oil was released.
Su Tianli has a light taste and basically doesn't eat fatty meat, but she still likes to drink soup made with lean meat.
As soon as Su Dejun heard Su Tianli mention Old Mrs. Su, he immediately shut up.
Su Tianli urged him to leave again, "You haven't eaten yet? Come back soon... otherwise the braised pork will become cold and not tasty."
Su Dejun said hesitantly, "Sister, can you buy me some needles and thread? I, I also want some cloth."
Su Tianli was stunned. "Needle and thread? Fabric?"
She thought I had some cloth - the best quality cloth she brought from the Northwest!
But on second thought, the fabrics she brought back seemed to be more suitable for young women.
So after a moment's hesitation -
Su Dejun was already speaking hesitantly, "Well, no sewing needle, no cotton thread, and no cotton cloth."
Su Tianli was stunned. "What did you say?"
Su Dejun, "…Embroidery needles, silk thread and silk. Silk thread must be of every color, and silk must have a base color, preferably white…"
This time, even Yao Meiyu was stunned.
Su Tianli frowned and asked him, "Why, do you want to embroider?"
result--
Su Dejun nodded seriously, "I want to try it."
"Ah?" Yao Meiyu made a surprised sound.
Su Tianli wasn't much better, "You... embroider?"
Su Dejun said: "When your grandma was young, she was an embroiderer in Lingnan Embroidery Workshop!"
Hearing this, Su Tianli was stunned.
Ah? Grandma was an embroiderer when she was young?
I didn’t realize that grandma’s cooking is quite delicious, but Su Tianli never knew that she can also embroider.
Su Dejun explained: "I'm talking about your dear grandmother, not the one now."
Then he continued, "Your grandma was very beautiful. Your grandpa said that I only inherited 30% of your grandma's looks! She was the most respectable person in our village, but she refused to marry when she was young. Later, when she got old and her eyesight was damaged, it was your grandpa's turn to marry her!"
Su Tianli suddenly realized!
So that's how it is.
Su De Diao whispered again: "I know you blame me for not wanting to care about your current grandma, but I really don't have any money now..."
Su Tianli interrupted him, "It's your own business, just make your own decision."
Su Dejun was embarrassed and went back to talking about his biological mother.
"The flowers your grandma embroidered are so beautiful!"
"The most amazing thing about her is that even though her eyesight is not good, she can still make the embroidery come alive just by feeling!"
"She just died too early..."
"Later, your grandfather married your current grandmother. Life became difficult, so he sold all the things your grandmother had embroidered!"
Speaking of this, Su Dejun's tone was full of resentment.
I don't know if he is hating his biological father for not being capable enough to remarry and help others raise their son;
Or was he still hating his stepmother for spending his biological mother's property...
Su Dejun sighed and added, "Fortunately, there is still a pillowcase and two handkerchiefs embroidered by your grandma that I have kept."
"Didn't you ask me to think about something I'm good at doing that doesn't strain my back? I suddenly remembered this and wanted to practice it..."
Then he said shyly: "I am just old and I am afraid of being laughed at."
In fact, only people have dreams, and this dream is on the right path,
Su Tianli would agree.
But, her father, who is a man of brute force and has been a laborer all his life, suddenly said that he wanted to change his career and become a male embroiderer?
This contrast...
It was indeed a bit magical. Su Tianli thought about it and said to him: "Dad, why don't you take a look——"
As soon as Su Dejun heard the beginning of his daughter's words, he knew what she wanted to say.
It's nothing more than "Don't you look at your own situation? You're already approaching 50, why are you still thinking about these unrealistic things?"
Or something like "It's shameful for a grown-up like you to learn such sissy things"...
Su Dejun lowered his head in disappointment.
But--
But he heard Su Tianli say: "...Don't you see how hard it is to get these things?"
"Nowadays, when people are still struggling to make ends meet, who has the energy to fiddle with embroidery needles, threads and silk?!"
"Well, try it with an ordinary sewing needle, nylon thread and cotton cloth."
"I'll ask my friends out of town to think of a way to get what you want!"
"Before you can master something, you should practice on your own first!"
Su Dejun was stunned.
After a long while, Su Dejun came back to his senses, "Lizhi, you, you don't object?"
Su Tianli rolled her eyes at him, "Why should I object? You're not asking me to embroider!"
Su Dejun said anxiously: "Don't you think... I only started learning embroidery when I was in my forties, and I'm still effeminate..."
Su Tianli, "The four great Peking Opera masters are all men! Who dares to say they are effeminate? In my eyes, both men and women have their own gender advantages. But as for success, it all depends on one's circumstances, talent and hard work!"
“You always have only one reason to do something you want to do. You will find 10,000 reasons not to do something you don’t want to do.”
"Now you tell me what you want. You can't find these things, but I can find a way to get them. So I will help you. As for whether you waste them or take them seriously after you get them, it's up to you." Su Tianli said.
Su Dejun pondered for a moment, then suddenly took something out of his pocket and placed it in front of Su Tianli, "Sister, this is for you."
After saying that, he took the lunch box and ran away.
Su Tianli: ???
Yao Meiyu had already taken the things that Su Dejun had placed on the table.
——This is a men's handkerchief with plaid stripes.
Yao Meiyu unfolded it and exclaimed in surprise...
It turned out that the handkerchief was embroidered with flowers of various sizes and colors!
but……
How should I put it? The pattern of the flowers is rather rigid, like the scribbles of an elementary school student on his homework book.
Moreover, this handkerchief should have been embroidered by Su Dejun using a sewing needle and cotton thread, and the work is rather rough.
It can be seen that the flower in the middle of the handkerchief is crooked, asymmetrical, and the stitches are messy. It is estimated that it was embroidered by Su Dejun in the early days.
The closer you get to the edge of the handkerchief, the more perfect the shape and form of the flower become, and the stitches look much neater.
Su Tianli took the handkerchief from Yao Meiyu and looked at the back of it.
When I looked at the back, the feeling was even worse - the flower stitching in the middle of the handkerchief was really messy, but the closer I got to the corners of the handkerchief, the neater and more complete the stitching became.
Yao Meiyu looked at the handkerchief, then at Su Tianli, with a face full of envy, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I never knew that your father, a rough guy, could actually embroider!"
"You are fine. Let your father embroider some flowers on your clothes in the future..."
"Your clothes are totally different from ours!"
"No, I want to go home tonight! I have to teach my dad a lesson and let him open his eyes to see how other people's fathers are! Even if my dad can't embroider, he must at least learn how to do a hair bun, and then he can do my mom's and my hair..."
Su Tianli laughed out loud.
So curly!
It’s really too curly!
She and Yao Meiyu shared the meal sent by Su Dejun.
It can be seen that Su Dejun is also trying hard to cater to Su Tianli's dietary preferences and make the food as light as possible.
Therefore, the only ingredients used in stir-fried Chinese cabbage are oil, minced garlic and salt.
The cabbage stems are crisp and sweet, the leaves are tender and soft, and are full of garlic and salt.
An ordinary home-cooked dish that tastes like a timeless classic.
After dinner, Su Tianli found the contact information of an acquaintance from the soft leather notebook she carried with her.
——This acquaintance used to work with her in the Northwest, but not at Farm 109. Before returning to the city, he exchanged contact information with Su Tianli. However, at that time, Su Tianli didn't have the address at all, so she could only remember the address unilaterally.
Su Tianli wrote a letter to this acquaintance, stating her request and attaching her new address.
At the same time, she wrote a letter to Wang Xuezhao of Farm 109, briefly describing her situation and also including her new address.
She mailed the two letters when she got off work in the afternoon.
As soon as I got home——
Su Tianli noticed Cheng Yu's depression.
She looked at Cheng Yu in confusion, wondering what had happened?
Yao Meiyu didn't come back today.
She clamored to go back and teach her father a lesson...
So, tonight, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu went out together, riding their bicycles to the night market with supplies to support their friends.
Cheng Yu was riding a bicycle.
Su Tianli sat in the back seat of the car, holding a heavy bamboo basket in her arms.
Then Su Tianli thought: Is the quality of this bike particularly good? When she and Yao Meiyu rode together before, they felt that it was very bumpy...
Why is she sitting in the back seat of Cheng Yu's car today?
Feels flat???
Little did she know that Cheng Yu was carefully avoiding the potholes, trying hard to make her sit more smoothly and comfortably in the back seat of the car.
The evening breeze, because of the rapid movement of the bicycle, blows softly on people's faces.
It's quite relaxing and comfortable.
Cheng Yu asked Su Tianli gloomily, "Lizhi, I want to take revenge on He Jingdong! Because today, Uncle Yao from the chemical plant came to see me with the factory director Uncle Zhang..."
Su Tianli was stunned and finally understood why he was in a bad mood today.
She expressed her opinion, "Revenge! We must retaliate!!!"
"But do you know him?"
"You must know yourself and your enemy before you can win every battle!"
"If you don't understand, you have to find a way to create the conditions first... You must have a deep understanding before you can design a tailor-made plan!" Su Tianli said.
Cheng Yu pursed his lips and smiled.
He knew,
She would never let him down!
She is the best lychee in the world!
