Zhong Yuxiu's eyes paused slightly. Is it lively in Beijing?
"It's quite lively. A few days before the New Year, the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are packed with people, and the queues to buy things are very long." As for the New Year days, she really didn't know. How could she know if she didn't go out?
"Really? It's the same in our county. It's especially hard to buy things during the New Year holidays. You have to line up before dawn, otherwise, they might be out of stock later."
"It's the same where I live. If you have relatives working in the supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores, it's fine. But if you don't have relatives working there, you just have to wait in line."
The topic was opened, and you and he talked happily, and Zhong Yuxiu became quiet; she would only respond when someone asked her a question, and then listen with a smile.
Everyone is in high spirits, so why disturb their interest?
The classroom was noisy. Zhong Yuxiu held her chin with her hands, her eyes dull and distant. She was not thinking about anything, her mind was blank, and she was simply in a daze.
"Classmate Zhong, classmate Zhong, why don't you speak?" A female classmate patted her on the shoulder.
Zhong Yuxiu came to her senses and was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly and said immediately: "You seem so happy, I'm listening to you."
"Really?" I always feel that it is not the case.
"Um."
The female classmate smiled and said, "Okay."
She turned around and started talking to others. Her classmates more or less understood her personality and habits. She was indeed not the kind of person who liked to be in a crowd. The fact that she could sit here quietly and listen to them talk was a sign of the friendship between her classmates.
There are thousands of people in the world, and you cannot expect others to be the kind of person you think they are; as long as they have no bad intentions, are sensible, polite, and well-educated, they are people you can make friends with.
As for deep friendship, it depends on whether the characters and personalities of each other are compatible.
The first day of reporting was relatively free, so Zhong Yuxiu would go to the principal's office and chat with the teacher. During the chat, she was able to learn some new knowledge points. The teacher and apprentice had common academic topics, and after chatting for a long time, they naturally turned to academic issues.
At Principal Xu's place, she discovered two ancient medical books she had never read before, titled "Collected Notes on Herbal Classics" and "Dietary Therapeutic Herbs".
"Teacher, did you find these two medical books recently?" Zhong Yuxiu asked, holding the ancient medical books.
Principal Xu turned around and smiled, "Yes, I bought them from an old friend. During the turbulent period, too many medical books were burned and can no longer be found. Now we can collect as many as we can, because for those of us who study Chinese medicine, Chinese medical classics are our life!"
Every useful medical book, folk prescription, pulse diagnosis and other books are priceless treasures.
"Teacher, can I borrow it to read?" She had finished reading all the books here at Principal Xu's place, and she wanted to borrow some new ancient books.
"Sure! The same rules as before. Just don't get it dirty or lost." Principal Xu agreed readily.
Zhong Yuxiu's eyebrows lit up with joy, and she turned and said, "Teacher, aren't you afraid that I will lose your good things? I agreed without even thinking about it."
Principal Xu's eyes were kind, and he said with a smile, "You're my student, how could I not know what your personality is like? You can lose your own things, but you certainly wouldn't lose someone else's."
"Thank you, teacher. I'll leave first and return it to you after I finish reading it." Zhong Yuxiu left the office with the ancient book.
After school in the afternoon, Zhong Yuxiu went home with two books, while Goudan was still cooking; Haonan and Tian Shangguo went to the kitchen to help as soon as they entered the house, while she read the newly borrowed book.
She has a good memory and can memorize things quickly; she always has the habit of flipping through the book first and then studying it slowly. Therefore, she is just flipping through the first chapter at this moment.
"Comrade Zhong, it's time for dinner. Goudan made you some braised pork. He braised the whole pig's head."
Closing the medical book, Zhong Yuxiu looked up and saw Haonan walking towards the dining room with his bowl and chopsticks in both hands. "Where did you get the pig's head? Did Comrade Yan send it?"
"I don't know. We're not home today." Haonan walked into the dining room, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and then came out again. "Maybe Comrade Yan sent it, otherwise where did the marinade come from?"
Goudan couldn't leave the house, so the task of buying vegetables and meat and delivering them naturally fell on them and Yan Rushan. After they came back, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative once, but they were short of a lot of things there. Where else could they buy such a complete range of things?
"Is that so? Take half of the braised pig's head and send it to the Yan family later." After saying this, he put down the medical book and went into the kitchen. He first checked the braised pig's head in the pot. It had been divided into six portions of varying sizes for stewing. "Goudan, remember to take half and don't cut it. I'll send it to the Yan family when you can eat it."
"drop."
Haonan walked in and said, "Comrade Zhong, how about I take it to them while it's still early?"
"I'm not sure if it's ready to be served." Zhong Yuxiu looked at Goudan. "Goudan, is it ready? Is it flavorful enough?"
Goudan took three pieces of meat from the pot, put them in a basin and handed them to Haonan.
Haonan understood immediately, "Looks like it's time to eat, Comrade Zhong, I'll go there then."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Yan Rushan hadn't come yet, presumably because he was too busy to get away. Yan's parents had gone to the army, leaving only Old Man Yan and Yan Ruhai, the grandfather and grandson, in the Yan family. When Yan Rushan was busy, he was often not at home. "By the way, if they haven't eaten yet, please invite them to come and have some with you."
"Okay." Haonan nodded and left quickly.
Tian Shangguo turned around and said, "Comrade Zhong, please go sit outside for a while. I'll serve the dishes."
"I'll help too."
As soon as Zhong Yuxiu finished speaking, Goudan handed her a plate of stir-fried vegetables.
Tian Shangguo's eyes flickered, and Zhong Yuxiu carried the dishes out of the kitchen; Tian Shangguo stood behind Goudan, secretly looking at him, and the robot seemed to be becoming more and more like a human.
"Comrade Tian, what are you looking at?"
"Ah?" Tian Shangguo retracted his gaze and shook his head. "It's okay. Goudan's cooking seems to be particularly delicious. Comrade Hao and I often stay with him but haven't learned anything."
Those starry eyes narrowed slightly, then returned to calmness in an instant. "Really? Then you have some things to learn. Goudan's chip has a lot of programs programmed into it. If you want to learn them all, it won't be easy."
Tian Shangguo smiled awkwardly and said no more; he served the soup and went out.
Zhong Yuxiu lowered her voice and said, "Goudan, restrain yourself. Tian Shangguo is suspicious of you."
Goudan didn't say anything and didn't respond, but he heard the command. From then on, he didn't dare to make any intelligent movements and tried his best to be an emotionless robot.
Tian Shangguo walked back and forth several times and put all the food prepared by Goudan on the table.
"Comrade Zhong, please go sit outside for a while. You've been tired all day."
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu smiled silently as she stepped out of the kitchen. Tian Shangguo and Haonan might have had some suspicions before; but they had not taken any action. It seemed that they had decided to turn a blind eye.
Their keenness was a good thing, but it was not a good thing for her who had a strong sense of territory.
