"Xiao He is fine, he is only thirteen years old."

"Xiaoxiao is now in the first year of high school. When she graduates from high school, your uncle Zhou and I are discussing whether to transfer my job to her and I will stay at home."

They didn't really want their daughters to go to the countryside to become educated youth, because once they went there, there would be no hope of returning.

"Aunt Gao, I don't think you and Uncle Zhou need to worry so much right now."

"Xiaoxiao has just entered high school and will graduate in nearly two years. Even if she can't continue her studies, in two years, if she asks around a little more, there will definitely be someone selling a job."

"She herself has no interest in any of this and wants to become a doctor like her father, but unfortunately she can't take the college entrance examination now."

Gao Zhuye sighed helplessly.

"Then study hard and keep working hard."

"The college entrance examination is not the only way out, but the knowledge you learn in your head will stay with you for the rest of your life."

"The current situation in our country is only temporary. It won't stay this way forever. One day when the environment improves, the higher authorities will realize the importance of learning."

"you mean?"

Gao Zhuye didn't say it clearly.

"This is just my guess. Regardless of whether it is possible or not, it is always right to keep learning."

"As the saying goes, you never stop learning. Only by not stopping learning can you seize the opportunity when it comes. Otherwise, thinking so much now is just wishful thinking and causing trouble for yourself."

"That's what you said."

Zhou Xiao and Zhou He, brother and sister, who were standing nearby, took Song Fuyu's words to heart.

Obviously, the other party is only a few years older than them, but what he says sounds like something an elder would say. No wonder he can be a factory manager while they are still just little kids studying in school. Their thoughts are not on the same level.

Everything was ready. Song Fuyu added charcoal fire under the old aluminum pot at home, with a spicy pot on the side and chicken soup in a small round area in the middle.

"Old Zhou, stop chatting and help bring out the dishes."

The hot pot was placed in the middle, with a circle of various dishes placed around it, which was pleasing to the eye.

"I put the seasonings on the small cabinet next to it, and you can mix them according to your own taste."

"I have to warn you in advance that this little red pepper is extremely spicy. If you are not good at spicy food, it is best to put a little bit to test the taste first. Don't let your mouth get swollen from the spiciness later. Blame me for not warning you in advance."

"Don't worry, I won't. You're already a grown-up, you know your limits."

She helped Chen Guoxing prepare a non-spicy base suitable for a clear soup pot.

When it was placed in front of him, he was still a little reluctant.

Among six people, five can eat spicy food, only he can't...oh...so pitiful.

"In the middle is the chicken soup, which has been simmered for two or three hours. You can serve it directly and drink it. There is still half a pot in the kitchen."

"Don't bother to call us, just eat by yourself, everyone can do it by themselves."

"Then I'll be welcome."

After saying that, Song Fuyu picked up a few large pieces of meat and placed them in the place closest to him.

After preparing for so long, she was already very greedy.

"Oh, I almost forgot the drinks!"

She immediately stood up and brought in the drink she had left outside the window.

Although there is no refrigerator at home, the temperature outside is only a few degrees, which is almost the same as the refrigeration effect of a refrigerator.

"We have orange soda and soy milk. Which one do you want? Or both?"

"I want soy milk."

"I want a soda."

She is already an adult, if she doesn't make a choice, she will definitely open a bottle for herself.

"Wow, it's so cold!"

“Is it bad to eat hot pot with ice drinks?”

"It's not good, but it brings happiness. If you have happiness, this little bit of badness can be completely ignored. It's not like you eat like this every day."

"Okay, stop using your doctor tricks again."

"Xiao Yu, don't worry about him, we'll eat by ourselves. You're right, just be happy!"

Zhou Longbin wanted to retort, but after taking a bite of the hot, spicy meat, he could no longer say anything. When it became too spicy, he took a sip of his wife's soda.

At that moment, a sentence popped up in his mind: "Happy as a god!"

Xiao Yu is right. The combination of the two brings people such great happiness, so just pretend you don’t know about the little bit of harm!

The group ate for almost two hours. Song Fuyu added soup three times. All the dishes on the table were gone, and even the ten bottles of drinks she bought were finished.

It was just convenient for her to return the bottle.

“This was a delicious meal.”

Several people were holding their stomachs with their hands.

"Old Chen, you are so lucky to have a daughter who is so good at preparing food."

"You may be jealous, but there's nothing we can do about it, we're from this family."

In the past, Lao Zhou was worried that Xiao Yu would cheat him, but as it turned out, not only did he not get cheated, he also got an extremely caring daughter. In the final analysis, he made a profit.

"Niece, how long can you keep this hot pot base?"

"It's full of oil, dried chilies, and Sichuan peppercorns, which are not perishable. If they are packaged well, they can be stored for a year or half a year without any problems."

"Look...are there any extra ones? Can I give you a few packets, Uncle Zhou?"

"Zhou Longbin, do you still have any shame?!"

Chen Guoxing thought he was trying to find out how things were done, but it turned out that this person was just a handout guy and had no intention of doing it himself.

"In front of delicious food, it's okay to put your face aside."

Even if he makes it at home, he may not be able to make it taste the same as Song Fuyu's.

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

She generously gave him five bags.

“Don’t put it in a hot place.”

"It's not just for hot pot. You can add some hot pot base to spicy chicken, braised pork, pig's trotters, etc. Or you can blanch all the vegetables and meat, take them out, and then put some hot pot base in the pot and stir-fry them together. It tastes good too."

"Thank you, niece. You are much more generous than your father."

Song Fuyu smiled and didn't respond.

She was willing to give so much because the other party was her father's good brother. If it were an ordinary person, she would still be very stingy.

"Sister Fu Yu, when will you leave Heng City?"

Before leaving, Zhou He hesitated and walked to her side and asked in a low voice.

"I'm expected to stay here for about half a month. Once your Uncle Chen gets better, I'll be back to get busy."

"Well, I have Saturday and Sunday off. Can I come over to play with you?"

Although it was only a short contact, he could feel that Sister Fu Yu was different from others.

He had never heard of some of her ideas, but he felt they made sense.

He likes interacting with people like her and can learn a lot of things he didn't know before.

"Of course, you can come over when you are on holiday. If there is no one at home, come to the steel plant to find me."

"Okay, it's a deal. I'll come see you during my vacation."

He also wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that she would actually agree. This instantly made the smile on Zhou He's face grow wider.

"Xiao He, what did you say to your sister Fu Yu?"

"We made an appointment to come over to play with her on Saturday."

"Are you here to eat?"

"No way, Dad, don't talk nonsense, I'm not you!"

Of course, it would be great if you could stay for dinner.
