Chapter 92 Chapter 92 The hand-rolled noodles in the northwest are very chewy...
The dinner brought by the nurse was obviously from the hospital cafeteria.
Two large lunch boxes per person.
A lunch box filled with hand-rolled noodles mixed with tomatoes and eggs.
The other lunch box contained stewed lamb with handles, and stir-fried bean sprouts and stir-fried shredded potatoes were stuffed in the corners of the lunch box.
Also, there were four large and thick pancakes piled on the rice top.
Jiang Yao asked Cheng Yu with a smile, "Are you from Guangdong?"
Cheng Yu nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Yao asked, "You've never left Guangdong?"
Cheng Yu nodded again, "Yes."
Jiang Yao sighed, "That's such a pity... You haven't seen many beautiful sights, and you haven't tasted many delicious foods. But it doesn't matter, you are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Cheng Yu smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Yao urged them to eat, "Come on, come on, eat quickly! Try our noodles! I heard from Lizhi that the noodles in Guangzhou are made with duck eggs without adding a drop of water, so the noodles are called bamboo noodles, and they have a crispy texture?"
Cheng Yu nodded.
He suddenly remembered that when he asked Xu Jiaxi why He Jingdong misunderstood that she and Jiang Yao had an affair,
Her answer was: "Jiang Yao is innocent. But I am not innocent."
so? ? ?
Cheng Yu glanced at Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao should be about the same age as He Jingdong, both in their forties.
——He is tall, with handsome features. Although his face looks sick and a little haggard, it cannot hide his strong character, proud and elegant demeanor.
Such a person,
If he was really innocent, would he remember so clearly that trivial sentence that Lizhi said?
You know, before this, in Jiang Yao's eyes, Lizhi should be just an ordinary little girl from Guangdong.
As a scientist, a doctor, and a professor, Jiang Yao has to shoulder such heavy workload.
Does he need to worry about whether a bowl of bamboo noodles has a crispy texture?
Unless there is someone in Guangzhou who is particularly important to him.
It is possible that the man had eaten bamboo noodles, which aroused Jiang Yao's curiosity.
But then again,
The hand-rolled noodles from the Northwest are so delicious!
Each noodle is soft on the outside and chewy on the inside, and you can taste the rich wheat aroma after just a few bites.
This wheat aroma is extremely overbearing and strong.
Cheng Yu almost felt that even if this hand-rolled noodles were just cooked in plain water without any seasoning, he would still be able to eat a big bowl of it.
Jiang Yao asked: "How is it? Are the noodles in the Northwest delicious?"
Cheng Yu nodded repeatedly.
He told Jiang Yao, "After Lizhi returned to the city, she opened a snack stand with her friends. She also taught me how to knead the dough and roll it. I also know how to make hand-rolled noodles... But to be honest, the hand-rolled noodles we make in Guangzhou are not as delicious as those here. I wonder if it's because of the flour. No wonder Lizhi always says that the best hand-rolled noodles are in the northwest! They are really delicious!"
Jiang Yao laughed, "Yes, yes, yes!"
After a pause, he seemed to recall something and sighed, "Our Northeastern noodles and dumplings are delicious too! There's also chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork and sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli... they're so delicious!"
Cheng Yu didn't let this sentence fall on the table. "I hope I can have the opportunity to go to Northeast China in the future. Then I will try every delicious food carefully."
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Then you should take the college entrance examination! Do you like physics? If you like it, you can apply to my alma mater, Northeastern University of Technology!"
Cheng Yu said truthfully: "I like physics."
"But I only have an elementary school education and am not eligible to take the college entrance examination."
"Lizhi has already planned it for me. First I have to get a diploma equivalent to a high school degree, and then I can take the college entrance examination."
Jiang Yao was stunned, and could hardly believe his ears, "…what did you say?"
When Xu Jiaxi told him about the baby swap in the afternoon, he simply found it unbelievable.
Until now——
He heard Cheng Yu say with his own ears that when he only had primary school education,
Jiang Yao couldn't hold it anymore.
The inherent thinking of Chinese people is that "knowledge changes destiny".
Jiang Yao thought so too.
He often went to the 109 Youth Farm to teach.
The educated youth in Farm 109 were almost all the most elite educated youth who came here from all over the country for study!
To Jiang Yao, these young people are even better than the students in universities!
Therefore, he has never seen... a young person who doesn't want to learn or become a better person.
He never expected that Xu Jiaxi's son had never been to school!
For this reason, Cheng Yu was very calm.
He told Jiang Yao all his experiences from childhood to adulthood:
His mother gave birth to him out of wedlock.
His mother died when he was born.
He was taken in to be raised by his uncle and aunt. When he was three years old, his aunt became pregnant and abandoned him.
In order to raise him, his sixteen-year-old aunt Cheng Yue dropped out of school.
At that time, this was also because my uncle and aunt would not support my aunt's schooling.
My aunt made a living by doing odd jobs, working as a maid, and picking up scraps. The two of them had a meal and a meal...
Cheng Yu managed to finish fifth grade of primary school. When he was twelve years old, his aunt Cheng Yue died of illness.
With no one to support him, Cheng Yu had to drop out of school. He wandered for a long time and was finally taken in by employees of the city's machinery factory, where he worked as a temporary worker for ten years.
A year ago, He Wanqian brought He Jingdong and Xu Jiaxi to see him, saying that she had heard his aunt Cheng Yue mention with her own ears ten years ago that she had swapped her two children twenty-three years ago, and demanded that things be put right.
And later He Jingdong asked him to quit his job at the machinery factory and go to the chemical factory to help him, but an accident happened again...
Fortunately, Lizhi, who had returned to the city, took him in...
Cheng Yu spoke slowly and ate slowly, and it was not until late at night that he finally finished his story.
Jiang Yao looked solemn.
In fact, he had already heard a general idea from Xu Jiaxi.
But now, he felt the first-hand experience with the person involved, Cheng Yu, and instantly empathized with him.
Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Yu was filled with heartache and regret, "You are such a miserable child!"
Then he cursed He Jingdong again, "Is his head full of shit? How can he let his son work for the country for free? Does he think this will make him stand out? His brain must have been kicked by a donkey..."
"It was clearly his operating error that caused you to get hurt, but he still... not only didn't send you for treatment, but also didn't pay for your treatment?"
Jiang Yao was so angry that he gasped heavily.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Jiang for standing by me. Don't worry, I have already got back everything I need."
Jiang Yao heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good!"
Next, Cheng Yu told Jiang Yao, "Uncle Jiang, I also want to tell you that I spoke to Lizhi on the phone this afternoon, and she got the latest clues..."
After hearing this, Jiang Yao opened his eyes wide in shock.
——When Xu Jiaxi told him that part in the afternoon, she implied that He Jingdong had always known that Cheng Yu was his child, but because Cheng Yu came out of Xu Jiaxi's belly, he was not happy, so he stood by and watched for the past 23 years.
Jiang Yao couldn't figure this out.
It was not until now, after hearing Cheng Yu retell the contents of Cheng Xi's diary, that Jiang Yao finally realized.
That’s right, He Jingdong couldn’t possibly do something so magical.
However, if He Jingdong mistakenly believed that Cheng Yu was the product of Xu Jiaxi and Jiang Yao's affair,
Then we can understand He Jingdong’s attitude towards Cheng Yu.
Jiang Yao was silent for a long time and shook his head, "I really don't know what to say."
"He Jingdong... has been my roommate for three years. To be honest, I also found it very strange back then... I always thought he and Cheng Xi were a couple, but I didn't expect your mother to be his real girlfriend."
"Later, I became suspicious and went to ask Cheng Xi, but was scolded by Cheng Xi."
“How terrible…”
"In our time, most people were very simple."
"Even now, I have never seen...these two people team up to maliciously harm others!"
Jiang Yao sighed, "Xiao Cheng, don't blame your mother. Your mother... Actually, her family is too wealthy, but she gets too little affection and attention, which makes her simpler than the average person..."
Cheng Yu stared at the "Yesterday Weekly" in Jiang Yao's hand, smiled, and completed the second half of Jiang Yao's unfinished sentence, "...It's easier to deceive, right?"
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Cheng," Jiang Yao asked Cheng Yu, "...I just heard you say that you have more than ten years of experience in repairing machines? And you can even handle the Soviet-made air compressor that even He Jingdong couldn't fix?"
Cheng Yu nodded without hesitation, "There is no Soviet-made machine in Guangzhou that I can't handle."
When Jiang Yao heard this, he immediately became excited.
He asked Cheng Yu several very professional questions in a row...
Cheng Yu understood some of it, but not the rest.
But after careful communication between the two sides...
Then I realized that Cheng Yu actually understood everything, but the names of some accessories were inconsistent.
And, when Jiang Yao asked how to solve a problem,
Cheng Yu's answer made Jiang Yao's eyes light up!
——This guy's practical experience is amazing! We can also see his intelligence from it! Because he is really using his rich work experience to think about the working principle of the machine, and then restore the broken machine according to the working principle...
"That's great, Xiao Cheng!" Jiang Yao said in surprise, "You're really good!"
"You are like a wildly growing tree, with no gardener to prune its branches. Some parts of it soar high, while others wither."
"Oh, you can't go on like this!"
"Xiao Cheng, I'm telling you, you must study systematically! Theory and practice must complement each other!"
Jiang Yao could not help being delighted. He clenched one hand into a fist and cupped the other hand, tapping his two hands lightly against each other, as if he was thinking about something difficult.
After a while, he made up his mind and asked, "Xiao Cheng, can you tell me about your ideas? For example, what do you envision for your future?"
To be honest, Cheng Yu didn't have any dreams before reuniting with Su Tianli.
People who struggle to make ends meet all day long do not deserve to have dreams.
Maybe.
However, influenced by his vision and social experience, his biggest dream is to become a super-powerful repairman. He wants to have great skills and be able to repair all machines, making those repairmen with stable jobs jealous and envious, that's all.
After meeting lychee,
She had already helped him develop a more systematic life plan.
Now, Jiang Yao seems to favor him?
Cheng Yu was not frightened at all.
He said seriously: "I want to first take the self-study exam and spend two years to get a technical secondary school diploma. In this way, I will be eligible to take the college entrance examination. Then I will take the college entrance examination and choose between electrification and physics depending on the score."
"Lizhi explained to me the difference between science and engineering... but I don't know what level I can reach, so I want to study engineering first, and after reaching a certain level, see if there is a chance to study science."
"If I don't consider the realities of economy and knowledge, and can choose any industry, I hope I can... build aerospace engines."
"After all, this is our shortcoming," said Cheng Yu.
Jiang Yao was extremely excited when he heard this!
"Okay! Okay—"
"Xiao Cheng, you actually have such an ambition! That's great!"
Jiang Yao was extremely excited.
He took a deep breath—
Then he asked Cheng Yu, "Xiao Cheng, if I could allow you to be admitted to a university as an exception and major in aerodynamics, would you be willing?"
Cheng Yu was stunned.
He thought about it carefully and shook his head.
Jiang Yao was also stunned and asked incredulously: "You...you don't want to? Why?"
What a great opportunity!
Is this child stupid?
Cheng Yu said: "It's not that I don't want to, but my cultural foundation is too poor now. I'm afraid that after I enter university, I won't even understand what the teacher says in class, so I hope I can proceed step by step."
After a pause, he explained, "Lizhi said the same thing. She said that people who study science and engineering need to be good at Chinese, math, and English. Chinese can be accumulated through a lot of reading, but math and English must be learned through systematic study..."
Jiang Yao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it is exactly as Lizhi said."
But--
Jiang Yao was in a dilemma.
With his current sick body, he really can't live for a few more years.
I couldn't even wait for Cheng Yu to take the college entrance examination as planned.
Jiang Yao thought about it again and asked, "Xiao Cheng, do you think this is okay?"
"I'll ask someone to find some papers for you, including the college entrance exam papers, the university's professional textbooks, and the monthly exam papers. You can try to do them. If you find it difficult, we can think of other ways."
"But if you can handle it, or have the confidence to handle it..."
"Then listen to me, let's go the special recruitment route, okay?"
"Of course, even if your academic performance is acceptable to me, you can't be too optimistic. Even if you are a special recruit, you still have to take the unified assessment held by the school. If you can't pass it, it will be useless."
Jiang Yao then explained, "It's mainly because of my body. I may not be able to survive for another two years. I'm afraid that once I die, no one will care about your studies anymore."
Cheng Yu was really stunned, "Uncle Jiang, you——"
Jiang Yao said: "Don't be too happy too soon."
"I can hear it all. You just listen to Lizhi in everything!"
"Oh, I can't really say whether studying aerospace propulsion is good or bad."
"You said it's good, it's good indeed. People should always have some feelings and some perseverance to fight for their dreams..."
"But if you say it's not good, then it's really not good."
"If you choose this line of work, you have chosen to give up the hustle and bustle of the world and retreat to practice. Life will be very hard!"
"Do you know what nickname Lizhi and the others gave us? It's called Tiantuan - it means we are born lonely and stick together for warmth..."
Cheng Yu laughed out loud, but couldn't help but defend Lizhi, "Lizhi really adores you! So do her friends."
Jiang Yao also smiled, "I know! I know them better than you... They are all good kids."
After a pause, he looked at Cheng Yu and smiled, "You too."
"Growing up alone in such a difficult situation...good boy, you have suffered." Jiang Yao sighed.
Without any warning, Cheng Yu's tears burst out.
In a sense, Lizhi and Cheng Yu are both orphans with both parents, so they can resonate with each other.
But Jiang Yao is different.
Ah, okay!
In fact, Jiang Yao is also an orphan.
So Jiang Yao could also empathize with Cheng Yu's pain.
He was even the first stranger elder to openly express sympathy for Cheng Yu and have great expectations for him.
"Okay, Uncle Jiang," Cheng Yu said softly, "I will consider your suggestion carefully."
"When the lychees arrive, I will also discuss it seriously with her."
"Oh, by the way, I'm free now. If you can get the test papers, professional textbooks and monthly exam papers, I can do it now..."
In fact, he was quite impatient.
He doesn't want to be a hypocrite like He Jingdong.
——If his academic performance can be recognized by Jiang Yao and he can pass the school's special recruitment assessment, then why doesn't he strive to become a special recruitment student?
The sooner you learn new knowledge, the faster you can join the construction team and make contributions to the country sooner!
Jiang Yao laughed out loud.
He took out his watch from under his pillow, looked at it, and immediately frowned.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Yao asked Cheng Yu to take the phone from the bedside table, dialed the switchboard, said a code, and then said, "Please connect me to the Mechanical and Electrical Department."
moment,
Someone from the Electrical and Mechanical Department answered the phone.
Jiang Yao said: "I am Jiang Yao."
The other party was stunned, then cheered, and then asked anxiously.
Jiang Yao smiled, "I'm fine... No, no, no, you don't have to come, just work hard. By the way, if any of you want to take over after dawn, bring me a set of special teaching materials. There is a stack of papers in the bottom drawer of my desk, bring them over... Okay, there's nothing else to do, go ahead and do your work, I'll leave it at that."
Then--
Jiang Yao dialed the switchboard again, reported a code, and said to the switchboard: "Please connect me to Wang Xuezhao at Farm 109."
As soon as Cheng Yu heard the three words "Wang Xuezhao", his ears pricked up.
——Lizhi often talks about this person.
This made him very curious about who this Wang Xuezhao was.
On the other side, the switchboard connected the call for Jiang Yao.
A sweet voice rang out, "Hello, I'm Wang Xuezhao from Farm 109!"
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, I am Jiang Yao!"
Wang Xuezhao on the other end of the phone exclaimed, "Professor Jiang? What a rare guest! How are you doing recently? Can you come to our farm? We just harvested your favorite honeydew melon No. 7!"
Jiang Yao said happily: "Oh, Honeydew Melon No. 7? Xiao Wang, please bring some tomorrow! Litchi's boyfriend is with me now, and Litchi will come over in a few days..."
Wang Xuezhao was stunned for a moment, "Lizhi's partner...really?! She has a partner so soon? And she's still in Satellite City?"
"Okay, okay, I'll be there as soon as it gets light!"
"Don't worry, Professor Jiang, I'll bring you the melon as well!" Her voice suddenly became cheerful.
Jiang Yao hurriedly said, "Xiao Wang, please bring me a few mock exam papers for the college entrance examination!"
"Okay!"
Just like that, Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
When he looked up at Cheng Yu again,
Only then did I realize that Cheng Yu’s face had turned red!
Jiang Yao laughed again.
At this time——
Xu Jiaxi's voice rang out from the door, "Oh my God! Cheng Yu, why are you still here? You...did you two chat all night?"
Cheng Yu and Jiang Yao turned around at the same time and saw Xu Jiaxi standing at the door with a lunch box.
Cheng Yu then looked at his watch and found that it was already six o'clock in the morning.
It’s true!
Cheng Yu also found it a little unbelievable.
He didn't expect that he and Jiang Yao would have so much to talk about.
However, Cheng Yu also took a look at Xu Jiaxi's expression - fortunately, Xu Jiaxi looked normal and did not have the collapse he had yesterday.
Xu Jiaxi said to Cheng Yu, "Ah Yu, hurry back to the guesthouse and get some rest. Ah Jiao has already booked a room for you and bought you breakfast."
Then she said to Jiang Yao, "You should also eat something quickly and have a good rest!"
"Don't ever do this again."
Cheng Yu nodded, said hello to Jiang Yao, and left.
On the way back to the guesthouse,
Cheng Yu felt both happy and worried.
The happy thing is that Jiang Yao said that Cheng Yu was Lizhi's partner;
What worries me is whether Litchi will be angry...
Then he started thinking again: I don’t know where the lychees are now, when will they arrive at the satellite city, can they arrive today?
at this time--
Su Tianli is cursing!
