Chapter 81 Chapter 81 The salty taste of stir-fried beans with basil and river shrimps...
Su Tianli frowned and looked at Fu Yan.
To be honest, if I hadn't recognized his voice...
Just looking at this person in front of me,
Su Tianli couldn't recognize who he was at all.
——Fu Yan was so thin that he was just skin and bones!
His cheeks were sunken and his eyes were frighteningly large...
No, his face wasn't the scariest thing.
Fu Yan's arms were so thin that one could see the shape of the bones and joints.
He looked at the tall and thin Cheng Yu standing side by side with the petite Su Tianli.
The man's skin is as white as snow, and he is handsome and handsome;
The woman was wearing a loose nurse's gown that looked like a skirt...
There's an inexplicable sense of perfect match and pleasing to the eye.
"What... are you doing?" Fu Yan asked with red eyes.
Su Tianli ignored Fu Yan at all.
——He Wanqian had experienced a past life, so she was jealous of Su Tianli and wanted to get everything that Su Tianli had in her past life;
Fu Yan had experienced his past life, so he wanted to win back Su Tianli and get her love...
But what does this have to do with Su Tianli?
She has never experienced a past life.
In this life, both He Wanqian and Fu Yan are strangers to Su Tianli.
Su Tianli ignored Fu Yan at all. She reached out to take the wet sweatshirt that Cheng Yu had just put on the shelf and turned to go to the backyard.
Fu Yan chased after him eagerly, "Lychee——"
Cheng Yu took a step forward with a cold face, blocking Fu Yan's way exactly.
Fu Yan looked at Cheng Yu hatefully, and the more he looked, the more jealous he became - in the past life memory that he awakened, Lizhi got together with Cheng Yu not long after she broke up with him.
Fu Yan has always known that Lizhi is strong inside and never depends on men.
She basically has only one requirement for her boyfriend - he must be good-looking and he must meet her aesthetic standards.
Fu Yan also knew that in Lizhi's eyes, he was only "okay looking" and did not meet her aesthetic standards.
But she still dated him for more than ten years, simply because of their years of companionship.
so! ! !
Cheng Yu is the man who truly meets Lizhi’s aesthetic standards!
Fu Yan stared at Cheng Yu with red eyes, hatefully.
Sure enough, the more he looked, the more he felt...
Cheng Yu is obviously a man, but his skin is as white as snow, and he has cold white skin that will never get tanned no matter how much sun he is in.
He looked thin, not as muscular as Lizhi's father, but his muscles were firm and smooth... He had a youthful look between a boy and a man.
as well as!
Cheng Yu's facial features...
She is indeed prettier than most young women.
No wonder Litchi in the previous life chose him.
Now that Cheng Yu is standing firmly in front of Fu Yan, it will only make Fu Yan upset.
Fu Yan shouted: "...Get lost!"
Cheng Yu said coldly: "You should go away, ugly bastard!"
——To deal with this kind of person, just attack his weakest point.
Sure enough, Cheng Yu's call of "ugly" deeply irritated Fu Yan.
Of course Fu Yan knew what he looked like now.
Since awakening his past life memories, he has been anxious, miserable, resentful, and regretful...
What he hated the most was that he was deceived by He Wanqian and got the marriage certificate with him!
So, he has been avoiding He Wanqian during this period of time.
I can’t eat well or sleep well…
He was as thin as a skeleton and extremely ugly.
No wonder the look in Lizhi's eyes when she looked at him just now was cold and a little disgusted.
Fu Yan opened his mouth.
At this time——
Lin Lin ran out of the room with a set of papers and asked Yao Meiyu, "Sister Meiyu, where is Sister Lizhi? I don't know how to do this question, I want to ask her..."
After saying that, the little girl realized there were two men standing in the yard.
Cheng Yu was shirtless, but he had a handsome face, a clean and calm temperament, and no offensive power, which was good enough...
But Fu Yan looked as pale and haggard as a ghost.
Lin Lin was so frightened that she gasped and the paper in her hand flew up and landed right at Fu Yan's feet.
Lin Lin stared at Fu Yan, took a few steps back in fear, and turned around to run away.
Fu Yan: ...
Is he already that ugly?
Scared all the little girls away?!
Fu Yan felt extremely uncomfortable.
He slowly squatted down, picked up the paper at his feet, and was stunned after just one glance.
"The 1977 College Entrance Examination Simulation Test Paper A"...
Fu Yan recalled the little girl who just yelled that she wanted to ask Lizhi how to do the question.
so? ? ?
Lizhi is preparing for...next year's college entrance examination?
Fu Yan remained silent for a long time, but was thinking about the feasibility of this matter in his heart.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lizhi might do this - after all, in her previous life, she had become financially independent in her forties and even took the college entrance examination!
So, what if he also grows up to be someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lizhi?
Will Lizhi look at him more?
The more Fu Yan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.
In a moment, he made up his mind - he also wanted to take the college entrance examination!
He picked up the paper and handed it to Yao Meiyu who was watching the fun from the side.
Then he said, "Yao Meiyu, please...tell Lizhi that He Wanqian went to the police station to report Lizhi for speculation."
"Ah?" Yao Meiyu was shocked.
Fu Yan added: "Li Gongan asked me to come and tell you the news."
"Ah???" Yao Meiyu was stunned again.
Fu Yan said seriously: "Public Security Officer Li said that their superiors have told them that they are the police station, Dadadi is their jurisdiction, and they can accept reports of public security incidents... As for whether Dadadi can have a night market, whether ordinary people can set up stalls there to sell things, or go there to buy things, this is not within their management scope."
"But since He Wanqian reported the case, they can't just sit back and do nothing. Anyway, they have accepted He Wanqian's report now. After going through the process, they will just go through the motions and not accept the report... In this way, they can probably delay it for another week."
"They will inform He Wanqian in a week, and He Wanqian might go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Urban Management Bureau to report it... These two units are the real competent departments. It's hard to say whether they will take care of it..."
“So, you must pay attention to this matter.”
After saying that, Fu Yan turned and left.
Yao Meiyu was almost mad!
"Is He Wanqian crazy?" Yao Meiyu stamped her feet frantically. "...How many people are supported by the Dadadi Night Market! If the night market is closed, Lizhi and I will be fine, but how will unemployed people like Mao Li and Zhang Wei survive? And Ajuan and A-nai, they have no income and need a lot of money for medical treatment!"
"What are we doing to her?"
"Since she can't make any money at the night market, is she going to ruin other people's financial resources?"
Su Tianli came over from the backyard, "Ayu, what are you doing?"
Yao Meiyu was so angry that she was about to cry. She was also anxious and quickly repeated what Fu Yan had just said.
Su Tianli also frowned.
After thinking for a while, Su Tianli comforted Yao Meiyu, "It's okay, don't worry."
She explained to Yao Meiyu, "You see, Li Gongan knew to let Fu Yan come to inform us... and Li Gongan and the others are trying to help us delay time."
"This actually proves the government's attitude towards the Dadadi Night Market..."
Yao Meiyu asked: "What attitude?"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "Wait and see."
She explained: "Last time they tried to hold a farmers' fair and asked us to report our sales, I had already guessed it. So don't worry, when He Wanqian reports it to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Urban Management Bureau, they will also find a way to report it to us."
Yao Meiyu was worried, "Then we..."
"Set up the stall as usual." Su Tianli said.
Su Tianli was very calm.
But Yao Meiyu couldn't stay calm. She shouted that she wanted to go back and ask her father.
Cheng Yu remained silent.
that's all--
After get off work, Cheng Yu got on Su Tianli's bicycle as he wished, and had a wonderful forty-five minutes of time alone with her.
However, the news that Fu Yan brought today still affected Su Tianli's mood to a great extent.
Cheng Yu is still pedaling.
Su Tianli sat in the back seat of the car.
In order to make Su Tianli feel better, Cheng Yu took the initiative to talk about his work progress in the chemical plant today:
"I went to the chemical plant this morning, and I took my Russian dictionary with me."
"After I finished signing the contract with Uncle Zhang and received the 300 yuan in one lump sum as stipulated in the contract, it was time for lunch...Uncle Zhang treated Uncle Yao and I to lunch in the company cafeteria at noon, and I ate three servings of braised pork in one go!"
"At two o'clock in the afternoon, I said let's start working, and asked Uncle Zhang to bring the manual of the Soviet-made machine. At my suggestion, he also called He Jingdong's apprentices over."
"Then I spread out the instruction manual and opened the Russian dictionary so that everyone could see what the instruction manual was all about."
"Of course, the instructions are quite long... I only showed them the instructions for the valve."
"I translated it word by word for them, and they stopped talking... their faces looked as if they had eaten something."
"Then, I went up to the elevated road with Uncle Zhang and He Jingdong's apprentices."
At this point, Cheng Yu turned his head and looked at Su Tianli, with a smile in his eyes:
"I went up and closed a valve, then opened another valve... and the machine started to run normally! To be honest, Uncle Zhang's face was not very good. After all, the repair cost 360 yuan... It took more than two hours for everyone to put on protective clothing, put on safety chains, and climb up the elevated platform..."
"But the time I actually have to 'repair' the machine is only a few seconds..."
really--
Su Tianli burst into laughter, "Cheng Yu! Your operation... is too cool!"
She could imagine that when He Jingdong recovered from his injury and came back, he would find that he had lost the strength he was so proud of...
It feels so good just thinking about it!
Cheng Yu looked at her bright smile and his heart trembled with joy.
He turned his head, stepped hard on the pedals, carefully controlled the front of the bike to avoid various potholes and mud bumps, and tried his best to make Lizhi sit steadily and comfortably.
He continued, "He Jingdong's apprentices asked me how I knew that He Jingdong had twisted the valve the wrong way. I said that when he took out the manual, I was watching... They were very surprised and asked me how I remembered Russian, which is like a caterpillar twisting, and each caterpillar twists differently..."
Su Tianli burst into laughter again, thinking that this metaphor was absolutely perfect!
When Cheng Yu saw her smiling so happily, his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten candy.
He then continued, "To be honest, I really think He Jingdong's skills are not good enough. I first suspected that he turned the valve wrong, and then I started looking for evidence... and then I really couldn't understand the text version of the manual."
"But there are also illustrated instructions! Once you look at the picture, you'll know where the valve is. Then, if you copy the sentence and look it up in the dictionary, you'll know what it means, right?"
"but--"
He changed the subject and said with a bit of smugness: "I said with a straight face, 'Do you even need to remember this? It's very simple'... and then they all kept silent!"
Su Tianli laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward.
Listening to Cheng Yu's brief and vivid narration, Su Tianli could even imagine the indescribable expressions on everyone's faces at that time...
I would probably say: Damn it! He actually tricked me!
Cheng Yu continued, "Uncle Zhang wanted to borrow my Russian dictionary! I refused... Uncle, don't look at my tattered dictionary, but I spent a lot of money and effort to get it. You are not a small vagrant like me, you must have a way to get the latest and most complete dictionary..."
"Then he didn't say anything." Cheng Yu said.
Su Tianli's smile suddenly stopped.
"Cheng Yu, you are not a homeless person!"
Su Tianli said seriously, "Let's work hard to earn money, study hard, and lay a good foundation for our respective futures."
"In the future we will be rich, have jobs we like, and have our own house..."
"We will never live under someone else's roof again. We can do whatever we want and we don't need to care about anyone's opinion anymore!"
"Most importantly, we will be fine..."
This is actually what Su Tianli hopes for her future self.
Cheng Yu was stunned.
He still carefully controlled the front of the bike and pedaled hard.
But he was no longer able to speak.
Because his eyes were red and his nose felt a little sore.
——To have a house of his own, to be needed by others, and to be unconditionally loved by others... This is the dream he has been longing for since he was a child, but the older he gets, the less he dares to hope for it.
Cheng Yu and Su Tianli returned home carrying the bag of vegetables given by Su Dejun.
Old Mrs. Su reached out to take the food that Cheng Yu was carrying.
Cheng Yu dodged it and said, "Grandma, this is heavy. Let me take it."
After a pause, he quickly glanced at Su Tianli and whispered, "Grandma, I'll make dinner."
So during dinner, Su Tianli was pleasantly surprised to see a dish of fried river shrimps with green beans.
Su Tianli has a very standard Cantonese flavor.
Like to eat seafood.
However, seafood is always expensive and difficult to buy even if you have money.
She also likes to eat river food.
She likes to eat grass carp, yellow eel, loach and frog.
Of course, I also like to eat river shrimps.
Cheng Yu had figured out Su Tianli's eating preferences a long time ago, so every now and then he would go to the Pearl River to put out a basket and catch some small fish and shrimps.
The Pearl River is rich in dace.
But he would occasionally catch some small river shrimp.
These river shrimps don’t grow big, they are already fertile when they are only the size of peanuts.
He would dry the river shrimps directly on the kang and store them away, and when there were more of them, he would take them out and cook them.
It just so happened that Uncle Jun brought some beans over today.
As Uncle Jun said, the beans are very tender. If you stew them with river shrimps, lychees will definitely like them.
In fact, stewed river shrimp with green beans is a home-cooked dish that does not require much technical content.
In the corner of the yard, there are several lush basil plants. Pick seven or eight leaves, wash them and set them aside.
Then heat the pan with cold oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Pour the cleaned shrimps into the pan, and also throw in the washed and shredded perilla leaves and minced ginger. Stir-fry until fragrant. Then throw in the washed and cut into sections of tender beans.
Add some soy sauce and salt to season, add some boiling water, cover the pot and simmer for seven or eight minutes...
This dish of stir-fried river shrimp and green beans is ready.
At this time, Su Tianli was squinting her eyes and enjoying the food.
There is no doubt that river shrimps are a bit fishy.
But the perilla leaves, garlic cloves and minced ginger remove the fishy smell and enhance the freshness;
The beans have absorbed the salty and fresh taste of the river shrimps, and have a fresh and crisp taste.
This is a wonderful balance between saltiness and freshness.
It's simply impossible to stop!
Su Tianli ate with great satisfaction.
Cheng Yu sat aside and laughed secretly again.
What happened to him?
Anyway, when I saw Litchi liked the food he cooked,
He was very happy.
It’s more exciting than making money!
At night, when Su Tianli and Cheng Yu went to help at the Dadadi Night Market,
Su Tianli told Mao Li, Zhang Wei and Cao Jinfeng that He Wanqian had reported Su Tianli for speculation.
They were also shocked, and then they all cursed He Wanqian:
"How can this person be so narrow-minded? She also came to set up a stall! She can't make money and she doesn't use methods such as promotion and improving quality to improve it. So she holds a grudge and makes others unable to make money?"
"What a mean person who laughs at others' shortcomings and hates others' achievements!"
"How can she be so vicious!"
Although Su Tianli tried to comfort them, they were obviously absent-minded.
Su Tianli comforted them with a smile, "It's okay, at least in half a month, there will be no problem."
No one quite believed it.
Su Tianli smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to cure her."
Mao Li was worried. "Lizhi, what can you do? You know, even if the higher-ups are willing to let us off the hook, this is illegal after all!"
Zhang Wei also said: "Yes, Lizhi, I heard that He Wanqian has a strong backing..."
Cao Jinfeng also said: "I think the whole Dadadi can't continue to operate, right?"
Su Tianli just smiled and said nothing.
Later, she found an opportunity to quietly say to Cheng Yu: "I'm sorry, Cheng Yu... maybe you will be wronged."
Cheng Yu: ???
He was startled, then nodded, "I can do anything."
Su Tianli was also stunned.
She laughed, thinking that she hadn't had time to tell him what kind of grievances he had to endure.
Why does he look so determined... as if he is willing to give up everything for her?
Su Tianli shook her head repeatedly.
She might let Cheng Yu suffer a little injustice,
But it will definitely not harm Cheng Yu's interests.
