"As long as he stays here for a few months, it's enough for me to learn something. It doesn't matter whether I become his assistant or not. Besides, if I become his assistant, I will go to Shanghai with him. Do you want me to go?" Song Zhi thought about it and asked, looking at him straight in the eyes, wanting to see his reaction.
"I...if this is your idea, I respect it." Gu Huaijin said this without changing his expression, but his hands under the table were clenched tightly into a ball, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Song Zhi nodded in understanding, without commenting.
She was so silent that Gu Huaijin thought she would not say anything more. Suddenly, she said, "I won't go to Shanghai. I will stay here with you."
Gu Huaijin was caught off guard when he heard her say this suddenly. He looked up at her and saw that she was saying it so seriously, as if it was a promise. His heart was pounding and he felt like it was going to jump out. His ears turned slightly red. He coughed twice as if to cover up his embarrassment, then stood up and went to the kitchen to boil some water.
Song Zhi looked at his back and suddenly felt that this kind of life was not bad.
While lying in bed, Gu Huaijin suddenly said, "I might have to get off work late during this period. The special operations team has already prepared the number of people. We may have to conduct formal training for a period of time. After the assessment, we will go to Kyoto to study."
Song Zhi didn't say anything. He continued, "You don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner. You can eat first."
Song Zhi responded softly: "Okay." To prevent him from worrying, he also realized that Gu Huaijin might be very tired during this period.
From that day on, for almost a week, Gu Huaijin went out early and came back late every day, even having to go to work on Saturdays and Sundays. When Song Zhi woke up, he was gone, and when she went to bed, he had not come back yet. She only vaguely felt him coming back and lying beside her in the middle of the night, and she could smell the familiar scent on his body, so she slept particularly peacefully.
Song Zhi also started to get busy. Professor Yan no longer had any resistance to them when they first arrived. After a week of getting along, although he still looked down on them with a cold face, he no longer spoke in the same way as at the beginning. Occasionally, he would talk to the air as if he was teaching them. They also got used to Professor Yan, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and on the contrary, they found him a little cute.
"We have learned what we should learn this week. The basic theoretical knowledge is actually very simple. The most important thing is the problems encountered in reality. Each problem is different, so you need to keep learning and understand all aspects. So starting from next week, I have applied for a few acres of land from the organization. We will use these acres of land as experimental fields to grow vegetables and fruits in greenhouses." After Professor Yan finished speaking, everyone looked stunned for a moment, as if they had not expected it.
They quickly reacted and cheered, especially Ma Weicheng, who seemed a little unsure that they could get started operating in such a short time.
"I'm an old man and can't do farm work now. You four better not complain when the time comes." Professor Yan gave a warning first, as he was afraid that these children would be spoiled.
"No, professor, you don't know us yet. We are the most hardworking people." Yan Yu said without blushing or beating his heart. After he finished speaking, he felt that he was very reasonable and looked righteous.
"Go back and have some rest! Have a good rest tomorrow and we will arrange the field work the day after tomorrow." Professor Yan looked at their excited faces, and a hint of tenderness appeared on his serious face.
To be honest, he actually wanted to come here at the beginning, but later he was informed that he would be assigned an assistant here. He felt very unhappy and had a feeling of being dominated, so his face looked very unhappy after he came here.
But after spending a week with them, he found that although these children each had their own shortcomings, they all came here truly to learn something, rather than just for the title of professor.
This made him feel much more relaxed, and also made him realize that he shouldn't make random comments about people he hasn't met. Fortunately, they still have time to spend with each other, and he is willing to teach them knowledge and let them shine in this land.
It is a good thing for young people to have ideals, and those with big ideals should not be criticized. At least he has learned something from these young people.
When she returned home in the evening, Song Zhi thought that she would have a day off tomorrow and would wait for Gu Huaijin to come back to have dinner together tonight. Usually, when she went to bed at night, she didn't hear any movement in the kitchen and didn't know whether he had eaten or not, but when she woke up the next day, the kitchen was tidy and clean.
Why not make something more substantial tonight, which can be used as a way to replenish the bodies of two people after a busy week.
Thinking this in her mind, she turned a corner and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Although it wasn't too late to get off work today, the weather had been good these past two days and the temperature was getting higher, so there were more people out buying vegetables. By the time Song Zhi got there, there were actually no fresh vegetables left.
She had no choice but to buy some pork ribs and stew some pork rib soup. She also bought some vegetables and fruits. At this time, the most common fruits were apples and pears, so she took some as well.
She just bought some random things, which looked like quite a lot. She rode her bike home and started preparing dinner when she got home.
She first cleaned and cooked the ribs, then added ginger slices, cooking wine and an appropriate amount of water and simmered them slowly. This way, the ribs would remain tender and the soup would be richer.
Next, she began preparing the vegetables and other side dishes. She washed and cut the vegetables into sections, prepared minced garlic and seasonings, and prepared to stir-fry. She chose a simple yet delicious recipe: stir-frying the vegetables with minced garlic. First, heat the oil in a pan, add the minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the vegetables and stir-fry evenly. Finally, add salt and a dash of MSG for flavor. The resulting vegetables are fragrant, delicious, colorful, and nutritious.
