"Chu Xia, what are you looking at?"

Chu Xia finished her work and saw that it was almost time to get off work, so she quietly took out the physics questions she had written incorrectly and looked at them.

She was sitting by the window and in the corner, and she was very careful in the office, so she only looked at them for a while when she finished her work and was about to get off work.

Other colleagues in the office would read books or knit when they had nothing to do, and no one would pay attention to her little movements.

"Nothing, just looking at it." Chu Xia closed the notebook calmly and said.

I just don't know why, since the incident of borrowing clothes, Chu Xia always felt that Huang Tingyue was particularly concerned about her every move.

It seems that she should not look at high school knowledge in the office in the future.

It's okay to do this when no one is paying attention, but if someone is paying attention to her, she has to be careful, lest her personal affairs be discovered, and then spread to everyone in the factory, which will not be good for her work.

Chuxia thought, put away the wrong answer book, and looked out the window while reciting the laws of physics. This did not affect her study.

Huang Tingyue looked into Chuxia's schoolbag, but saw nothing. She was a little unwilling to give up: "Chuxia, I see you often read alone. My blind date also said that girls should read more books. Do you have any recommendations?"

When she said this, Huang Tingyue looked a little embarrassed and blushed. It seemed that her blind date should be good. At least she was quite satisfied with her blind date.

Chuxia smiled and looked at Huang Tingyue, and said sincerely: "I think books like Red Rock, Red Flag Canal and Quotations from xx are very suitable for you to read. They are conducive to improving our spiritual realm, inspiring us to learn from those revolutionary predecessors and dedicate our youthful strength to the country and the factory!"

"Chuxia, do you like to read these books too? I like them very much, especially Red Rock. Every time I read it, I get angry, upset and moved!"

An old man in the office who usually doesn't like to talk heard Chuxia talking about these books, and his eyes lit up, thinking that he had found a like-minded comrade.

In Huang Tingyue's puzzled eyes, Chuxia smiled and nodded: "I like to read them. I like Jiang Jie in Red Rock the most." In the list of

famous works that must be read for the high school entrance examination that year, she read them very well in order to get a few more points. And you can never go wrong in recommending this kind of book.

"Me too!"

Seeing the elder brother and Chuxia discussing the story in the book, Huang Tingyue thought: Could this book really be so good? Then I'll buy a copy and have a look.

She doesn't like reading books normally. At most, she reads some chivalrous stories. She only heard about books like "Red Rock" which are boring at first glance. She only heard about it from her classmates. It is very popular, but she has never thought about reading it.

Huang Tingyue was not wrong. The person she was going to date was a gentle and refined person who loved to read books. She originally wanted to read more books so that she could have more things to talk about with the person she was going to date.

Therefore, she ran to "Xinhua Bookstore" as soon as she got off work and bought all three books that Chuxia mentioned. She even brought "Red Rock" to work the next day.

"Chuxia, I read a few pages yesterday. This book is really well written. Thank you!" Huang Tingyue said solemnly while holding the book in front of Chuxia.

Chuxia saw her little thoughts and smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. This book is very classic."

Nowadays, everyone will ask questions seriously when they go on blind dates. Huang Tingyue estimated that this is also for the blind date to ask questions, so that they can say that they also like reading.

In fact, no one will say anything. Even if someone comes to ask questions, those who don't want to say anything will say that they don't know or understand them, and those who are willing to say something will say a few good words.

Unless the relationship is very close and the person is very bad, they will tell you the truth.

Otherwise, they are all colleagues, who is not a shrewd person and is happy to offend others.

She didn't meet Huang Tingyue's boyfriend, but through the recommendation book, Huang Tingyue probably no longer felt angry about not lending her clothes last time, and became more willing to talk to her, less gloomy.

Chuxia didn't care about the girl's awkward thoughts, but if she could be more comfortable in the office, she would still prefer a comfortable environment.

Cen Huaian's low mood continued until Friday of this week.

As soon as he got home on Friday, he put down his schoolbag and ran to Chuxia, with an expression that said, "I have something to say, just waiting for you to ask."

Chuxia wanted to tease him, but she thought about how he was immersed in the sadness of his father leaving this week.

Only when Cen Zhengnian called back to report that he was safe, he was happy for a while. Now he couldn't bear to tease him, so he asked him directly: "It seems that you have something to tell me. Did something happen at school? Did you get praised by the teacher?"

Cen Huaian glanced at Chuxia: "I get praised by the teacher every day, there is nothing to say about this. Our teacher said that he will take us on an autumn outing next Tuesday!"

This is indeed something worth being excited about for students. When we were students, the most favorite thing for everyone was the spring and autumn outings.

It doesn't matter where we go. What's important is that the teacher can take everyone out to play for a day. How happy it is.

"This is good news! So where did your teacher say we went on the autumn outing?"

"People's Park."

Liangzhou People's Park, a place that everyone in Liangzhou knows, is not far away from the third textile factory.

The most important thing is that this place is safe, there are no cliffs, only an artificial lake, just watch out for students not to go there, the rest are flowers, trees, small pavilions and small gardens.

The leaves of the ginkgo trees are turning yellow, and there are all kinds of chrysanthemums in full bloom, which is very suitable for autumn outings.

Chuxia can completely imagine why the teacher chose this place.

"It's good." Chuxia nodded and said, "It just so happens that I heard that the ginkgo trees in People's Park are the most beautiful. When the time comes, you can pick up a few leaves and we can make them into bookmarks. You can send one to your father after you finish making the bookmark, or give it to your good friends."

Cen Huaian said "hmm" and looked forward to it even more.

"Mom, the teacher asked us to prepare our own lunch because we are going to play in the People's Park until the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll take you to buy it on Sunday."

Chuxia asked him to think of a list of items for the autumn outing, such as what he should bring for the autumn outing. If he wrote well, he would be awarded a red flower.

Cen Huaian took a pen and sat at the table, frowning and trying to write on the paper.

Chuxia didn't look at it. As long as what he wrote was not irrelevant, she was going to give him a red flower.

And she thought the teacher would definitely tell him the precautions. He had a good memory and probably remembered them all.

Chuxia got up to look at the pork rib soup in the casserole. It needed to be simmered for a while longer so that the meat would be softer and more delicious.

For dinner, Cen Huaian ate two small bowls of lotus root and pork rib soup, including the meat and soup, and burped.

Chuxia rubbed his belly. He didn't eat too much, so he was probably 90% full. He didn't say anything.

Now is the season for lotus roots, which are fresh and sweet. This soup is most suitable for autumn. It is just the right amount of nourishment without being too much. It tastes good, fresh and delicious. Drinking a bowl of it hot will warm you up from your stomach to your whole body.

After dinner, Cen Zhengnian was not at home, so the task of washing the dishes fell to Cen Huaian. He was very happy to get red flowers.

After he was deducted red flowers, he just redeemed the red flowers for a comic book of "Journey to the West".

The comic book of "Journey to the West" is a set, and you can't finish all the stories in one book.

"Mom, I've finished writing."

Cen Huaian washed the dishes, swept the floor, and redeemed the little red flower. He lay on the table and wrote for a while, then ran to Chuxia with an expectant look to see the list of items for the autumn outing he wrote.

Although he used pinyin for many words, it did not affect Chuxia's understanding.

"Beef jerky, dried apricots, fried dough twist, egg cake, soda..."

Chuxia read them one by one: "You wrote all the food?"

"There's more." Cen Huaian asked Chuxia to turn it over.

She finally saw some things that were not food - water, red medicine.

"What are you going to do with the red potion?"

Chu Xia thought it was a good idea for Cen Huaian to think of this: "You can use it when you get hurt."

Holding the list, Chu Xia quickly crossed out several snacks: "Don't bring soda, the glass bottles are heavy and unsafe. And you can't finish all the food you bring, so it's a good idea that you thought of the medicine, and add a box of cooling oil to avoid insect bites."

Although it's not hot now, there's no need to prepare medicine for heat stroke, but there are still insects, which are inevitable when going to the park, and cooling oil can also prevent motion sickness.

Cen Huaian was very unhappy when he saw his mother crossing out so many foods, including his favorite soda, and thought there must be no red flowers.

"But..." Cen Huaian immediately looked at Chuxia, and Chuxia said with a smile: "An'an, except for eating too much, everything else you wrote is very reasonable. Mom still decided to reward you with a little red flower."

Cen Huaian pursed his lips and smiled, and quickly ran to get the notebook for drawing little red flowers. He felt relieved when he saw Chuxia draw another little red flower on it.

On Sunday, Cen Huaian couldn't wait to wake up early in the morning. After dinner, he kept looking at Chuxia, waiting for her to say to take him shopping.

Chuxia asked him: "Are Bangzi and the others going on the autumn outing too?"

"Yes." Cen Huaian nodded: "Brother Bang said that we can sell some things at that time."

"Then do they make their own food?"

Chuxia didn't ask them if they would go to buy it. It was obviously impossible for Bangzi and the children.

"Hmm." Cen Huaian thought for a moment and said, "Bang Ge should bring some steamed buns or steamed bread made by his grandmother."

Chuxia nodded, "Then you can bring more snacks and fruits for them to eat."

Because the main purpose was to buy food that could fill their stomachs, Chuxia first took Cen Huaian to a grocery store in the city center, where a variety of non-staple foods were sold.

There were fruits, snacks, and meat, as well as things like hairtail sent from other provinces, and some rare and advanced foods.

For example, Chuxia saw bread here, although there was only one kind of bread, the old-fashioned flat bread, but there were two flavors, one original and one coconut.

The bread was freshly baked, still shiny on top, and exuded an alluring aroma.

Cen Huaian had never eaten bread before, so Chu Xia pointed at the bread and asked him, "Do you want to buy some bread to take with you?"

Cen Huaian nodded, having given up his favorite small twisted dough sticks. He wanted to eat this bread that looked very sweet.

Bread was 20 cents each, and Chu Xia bought six.

Three were original flavor, and three were coconut flakes.

After getting the bread in a paper bag, Chu Xia asked Cen Huaian, "Which one do you want, original flavor or coconut flakes?"

"Coconut flakes!" Cen Huaian immediately replied, and it was probably the answer that had already been on his lips.

Chu Xia ate the original flavor.

It tasted good. The coconut flakes were round and plump with some white coconut flakes sprinkled on the bread, but the original flavor didn't have these particles.

The bread had just come out of the oven, it was fragrant and soft, and the palm-sized bread was gone in a few bites.

Chu Xia thought about it and bought another two yuan one.

"We'll eat the rest when we get home. There'll be enough for you to take on the autumn outing, so you can share it with Bangzi and the others."

Although Cen Huaian wanted to eat one more, he nodded, knowing that his mother was right.

Then Chuxia bought some egg cakes, steamed apples, and other foods that were easy to fill the stomach, and also bought some fruit leather.

It happened that the grocery store had fresh apples and grapes, so she bought two kilograms of apples and two kilograms of grapes.

These were enough, and as for the soda that Cen Huaian mentioned, she would definitely not buy it for him.

Chuxia also saw Laoshan Cola, and after hesitating for a while, she still took a bottle when she checked out.

As for the k-sip Coke and b-stuff Coke of later generations, Chuxia had never seen them at this time. The one she had seen the most was the one she bought.

After returning home, Chuxia poured Laoshan Coke into the cup, which really attracted Cen Huaian's attention.

"Mom, what is this?"

"Coke, try it."

Cen Huaian looked at the dark water in the cup, which was still bubbling, and carefully opened his mouth to take a sip.

It tasted sweet, with a taste of Chinese medicine, but it was not unpalatable when it went into his mouth, and he couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

He felt that Coke could be ranked with soda in terms of the taste in his heart.

Chuxia hadn't drunk Coke for a long time. She didn't like carbonated drinks in the first place, and now she saw it and wanted to taste it.

She took a sip and felt that it was more suitable for her taste than k-b thing. The taste was not so strong, more gentle, and the sweetness was not so sticky. It was just the right refreshing and sweet taste.

A glass bottle of Laoshan Cola was shared by Chuxia and Anan.

Anan poured the last drop into her mouth, still reluctant to finish, "Mom, no more."

"I know that good things can't be eaten all at once. Even if Coke tastes good, you can't drink it all the time. Remember when you ate candy without restraint? Drinking too much Coke will also damage your teeth."

Cen Huaian immediately covered his mouth and shook his head: "I don't want to drink anymore."

"Put the glass bottle away and exchange it for money later."

Returning a glass bottle costs one cent, so it can't be wasted.

In the afternoon, Chuxia sent Cen Huaian to learn Go. Seeing that his mind was still a little restless, she said: "Don't think about the autumn outing when you are learning Go."

I don't know if it worked. When Cen Huaian was learning Go, she was not by his side. He sat in the corridor of the Children's Palace and read a book.

When Cen Huaian came out, he didn't run over and happily say that his teacher praised him again as before. He knew that he must have been criticized for not being calm when learning Go.

Chuxia did not comfort him. He was easily proud of being praised all the time, so it was a good thing to criticize him once. Therefore, she just touched his head and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Mom, can I have some plain bread now? I'm hungry."

Well, she was just overthinking.
