"I understand, I understand. Let Goudan make the soup, okay?" Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and sighed. She didn't want to pay any attention to them and walked straight forward.
Walking on the snow-covered streets, Haonan and Tian Shangguo smiled at each other. Comrade Zhong was an interesting person; he was not as serious and rigid as the scientific researchers they had protected before. He was very casual in his daily life, but he devoted all his energy to research.
When I returned to the compound and stepped into the house, the heat hit my face.
"Comrade Zhong, please take a rest first. I'll get you some hot water to soak your hands and feet." Yan Rushan didn't come, so Haonan took over this responsibility.
Tian Shangguo smiled and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and ask Goudan to make some brown sugar ginger soup."
Everyone was busy with their own things. Zhong Yuxiu had nothing to do, so she sat down on the sofa and waited for Haonan to bring her some hot water to warm her hands and feet.
"Comrade Zhong, the brown sugar ginger soup is ready." Haonan brought the things and placed them on the coffee table in front of her.
Zhong Yuxiu took a look at the dark red brown sugar ginger tea and didn't know what to say; this thing was too sweet and had a fishy and spicy taste.
"Or, just forget it?"
Haonan smiled and shook his head. "It doesn't count. Tian Shangguo and I also want to drink. We drink ginger soup without brown sugar."
“This…” Hero!
"Drink it while it's hot. It tastes worse when it's cold." Hao Nan stood quietly aside, and it looked like he was going to wait for her to finish drinking before leaving.
"Okay." Renfen picked up the ginger soup, tested the temperature, and smelled the unique pungent smell of ginger. Suddenly, she was unsure. This method of dispelling cold was only used in ancient times, and it has been passed down to this day, but she still didn't have the courage to drink it. "Really want to drink it? Or, why don't you guys drink it? It's sweet, I don't need it. I'm not cold, I haven't caught a chill, and there's no cold in my body."
Haonan looked at her with a half-smile, "What do you think?"
"I think it's okay not to drink."
"You'd better drink it, otherwise, I'll go find Comrade Yan." Hao Nan did not retreat a single step.
Zhong Yuxiu curled her lips and said, "What's the use of finding it?" Although she said that, she still tilted her head back and drank the ginger soup; the stimulating taste went all the way down to her stomach, but the effect was really good, and within a few breaths, the heat filled every part of her body.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect or because of my supernatural powers.
Haonan took the empty bowl and returned to the kitchen. After a while, they brought the midnight snack to the table. "Comrade Zhong, you can have a midnight snack now."
"Oh." The air was filled with the smell of ginger water, which was really irritating. For people who don't like brown sugar ginger soup, it was no different from drinking poison.
Zhong Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to the dining table and sat down. On the table were three large bowls of dumplings and a plate of soft buns; each dumpling was white and plump, and the buns were big but soft and did not take up too much space in the stomach.
When Haonan and Tian Shangguo arrived, they brought three cups of hot soup. The soup base was thick and white, and smelled of mutton.
"Goudan stewed mutton again?" Zhong Yuxiu asked.
Tian Shangguo nodded, "Yes, we stewed a lot, but unfortunately the mutton is not yet soft; Goudan said it needs to be stewed for more than two hours and can be eaten tomorrow." It's almost ten o'clock now, past nine.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded in understanding, "I understand. It will be the same tomorrow. Let's have a midnight snack first, then take a shower and go to bed early."
"Yeah." Tian Shangguo responded. Haonan said, "Comrade Zhong, Goudan made a lot of dumplings and buns again. Do you want me to pack a few for you when you go to school tomorrow? If you get hungry at school, you can just heat them up in the cafeteria."
You can also heat up meals in the university cafeteria.
As a professor, it was not difficult for Zhong Yuxiu to ask someone to help heat up her food in the cafeteria.
"Pack some food. I won't be back at noon tomorrow. Ask Goudan to cook me some more food." Every day when I came back at noon, the wind and snow were too strong, delaying everything. "When it's time, go to the state-owned restaurant to eat. Don't go hungry."
Haonan shook his head. "Let's bring some food with us. There's no need to waste money."
"I think it's okay." Tian Shangguo nodded slightly, picked up his chopsticks and ate a dumpling, then said slowly, "It's a bit far to go to the state-owned restaurant, and we won't be able to know if something happens to you in time."
Zhong Yuxiu said helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't leave Huazhong University."
"That won't work either. Your comfort is our responsibility. We can't gamble with your comfort."
“It’s not that serious…”
Haonan said, "It's settled. Don't even think about getting rid of us."
No way!
Zhong Yuxiu opened her mouth, swallowed the words, and changed the subject, "Then come find me when the time comes, and we'll go to the cafeteria to heat up some food."
"good."
It was settled, so Haonan and Tian Shangguo ate dumplings without worry. After finishing a big bowl of dumplings, they were full. After eating the dumplings, Zhong Yuxiu also ate two buns, both of which were red bean paste buns.
Eat and drink enough, take a shower and go to bed.
Lying on the bed, Zhong Yuxiu took out two deposit slips from the storage ring, wondering when she would have time to transfer a deposit slip for separate storage; or take out some of it and put it in the storage ring?
But she still had some money she had earned from the gold bricks, and she was planning to buy a few courtyard houses to store them; if possible, she would also ask Yan Rushan to buy a few pieces of land to store them, as those would be things that could bring her a lot of money in the next few decades.
While thinking, she fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, she wanted to put the deposit slip on her chest. Zhong Yuxiu put it beside her, put on her clothes, took out the household registration certificate from the drawer, put the deposit slip between the household registration certificate and the storage ring.
With a storage ring, you don’t have to worry about losing it.
When I opened the door, I met Haonan and Tian Shangguo who were also going downstairs.
"Good morning, Comrade Zhong."
"Good morning, Comrade Zhong. You're up so early. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Zhong Yuxiu's eyebrows curved, and she greeted him with a smile, "I can't sleep."
They went downstairs together and walked into the hall, said Haonan.
"Comrade Zhong, let's go exercise first. You can wash up first."
"Okay, you guys do your exercises. Is it snowing outside? Otherwise, why don't you just exercise indoors?"
Haonan shook his head, "I'm not afraid."
Unable to persuade them, she watched them leave the door. Zhong Yuxiu closed the door and went to the kitchen. The aroma of steamed white flour made her mouth water.
"Goudan, what delicious food did you make this morning?"
"Master, I have steamed red bean paste buns, cabbage and pork buns, and steamed buns for you. I made a lot of dumplings yesterday and made a big bowl of dumplings for you, Haonan, Tian Shangguo, and me. Do you want to eat anything? I will make it for you now." There was no one at home, so Goudan spoke freely.
Zhong Yuxiu walked over and opened the steamer to take a look. The buns were cooked, and the dumplings were still rolling in the pot.
"Make a few dishes for three people and pack them for us to take to school. We won't be home for lunch, so please clean the house and wash our clothes."
Goudan nodded and said, "Okay, what would you like to eat?"
"Just make something, and pack some dumplings and red bean paste buns for me to take away." That way, there will always be enough to eat.
Goudan did as he was told and took out a thermos from home. He first filled her with a dozen dumplings, and then wrapped four red bean paste buns in oil paper, each of which was the size of a fist.
Then, he took the dumplings out of the pot; he started washing the vegetables and cooking, and in just half an hour, three decent meals were ready.
