Dumplings that come in long and go out. The customs of the Northwest, Zhang Fan's mother was afraid that Shao Hua would not be used to the long noodles in the Northwest, so she specially steamed some rice and prepared it with both hands.
A table of dishes, from braised pork to fish, from fresh vegetables to enoki mushrooms~! Knowing that Zhang Fan was coming back, the old couple went to the supermarket in the county town to buy a lot of things.
Zhang Fan's family tradition says he can't drink alcohol, and his father is not much better than him. But if you don't drink some wine today, it will really lack the atmosphere. The red wine, white wine, and drinks specially bought in the supermarket are all opened!
Shao Hua also likes to eat noodles. Although noodles are the main food in the Northwest, the real noodles are in Su Province and the neighboring Shaanxi Province. The noodles are as thin as hair, and they are continuous. The taste of frangipani, diced meat, radish, and diced potatoes is really unpleasant.
Although the frontier noodles are also good, they just lack a little sense of craftsmanship in pasta making.
"Eat, eat more girls, you can eat whatever you like, if you can't get it here, I will change it for you." Zhang Fan's mother kept picking up food for Shao Hua, for fear of making Shao Hua hungry.
"You've become a doctor, so you won't drink alcohol. I'll drink a little today. Does Shao Hua drink liquor?"
"Uncle, I don't drink liquor!"
"Drink some red wine, I can't drink it. You can drink some with my parents."
"Okay, I'll have a drink with my uncle and aunt." Shao Hua didn't pretend at all.
Chatting while eating, all kinds of jokes, ridiculous past events, and laughter at the dinner table. Shao Hua's family thousands of miles away, "Hua Zi and the others arrived at Zhang Fan's house safely, and they don't know if Hua Zi is used to it or not. Zhang Fan's family is easy to get along with but not easy to get along with. Are they satisfied with Hua Zi?"
Shao Hua's parents sat opposite each other, although it was already meal time, they were not in the mood to eat.
"My Huazi is so good, there is nothing to be picky about. There is still one month left, hey!" Shao Hua's father sighed. It is really the mother who has traveled thousands of miles to worry about her children!
"How's your review going? Your sister-in-law and I came from thousands of miles away to cheer you up. We can't let you go."
"No way. You and sister-in-law just wait for my good news. Dabei and Huaqing are not guaranteed, and other schools should be fine."
"Good! Ambitious. Come on, better than your brother."
Shao Hua smiled and listened to their brothers and sisters talking. "Shitou failed the college entrance examination when his father was laid off!" Zhang Fan's mother explained.
"What are you talking about? Isn't it very good now." His father said with a bit of complaint.
"Don't, it's because I didn't learn well, so I can't find a reason!"
After eating, sleeping is a problem. Jingshu is about to take the college entrance examination, so she can't interfere with her rest. Zhang Fan's house is very similar to Shao Hua's house, with only two bedrooms. Fortunately, Zhang Fan and Zhang Jingshu's age gap is huge, otherwise there was really no way to live in it before. After dinner, Shao Hua was going to help in the kitchen, but was pushed out by Zhang Fan's mother, "I've been sitting in the car for several days, take a rest, my daughter is also your home, you can't see outsiders, you go with them say something."
Zhang Fan's father smoked the good cigarette Zhang Fan brought, and looked at his son's calm face, feeling very happy. "This kid has ideas since he was a child. He has finally grown up!"
Shao Hua went out of the kitchen and sat beside Zhang Fan. "Try it. These are soft pears from the Northwest. They are specially frozen in the refrigerator and reserved for you."
Zhang Jingshu, this will be in the small bedroom, and she will review with peace of mind. She is also relieved when her brother is back. There are two days left before the college entrance examination. In the past two years, my brother called her 1,000 yuan a month on time for living expenses. She didn't worry about tuition fees and living expenses like her brother, so she was lucky! The family opened a small shop, and their life has improved a lot. Parents don't have to work everywhere as they used to.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Zhang Fan's mother also sat on the sofa and chatted with Shao Hua in a low voice. In an old-fashioned house, Jing Shu can hear the sound a little louder. So everyone's voice is very low. "Shao Hua, the new pajamas I bought for you are in the big wardrobe in the big bedroom. I was worried that it was a bit big. I didn't expect you to be so tall, so it should be just right. Later, Zhang Fan's father and I will go to live with Zhang Fan's uncle. Take a bath and go to bed early, I am really tired these days. You will sleep in the big bedroom and let Zhang Fan sleep in the living room. The house is a bit crowded, so don't worry about it."
"Don't mind, auntie. My family is not big. Wouldn't it be convenient for you to go to a relative's house? Or~" Shao Hua couldn't go on talking. There was really no other way. On the first day he arrived at Zhang Fan's house, he couldn't justify staying in a hotel outside.
"Hehe, I knew at a glance that you are a good girl, good-looking, and good-hearted. It's okay. His uncle's house is in a neighborhood next door, and their children are not around. They were supposed to come today too. , I thought it was your first time to come in, and you were too tired from the car ride for several days, so I didn't let them come, hurry up tomorrow, you go around. His uncle was very nice to Zhang Fan when he was a child, and now Zhang Fan Bringing such a beautiful daughter-in-law back will make them happy too!"
"Auntie!" Shao Hua was a little ashamed by Zhang Fan's mother. The old-fashioned house is barely livable. This house is really a bit old, and it was built when the Soviet Union aided it.
Shao Hua, who had taken a shower at night, was arranged by Zhang Fan to live in the big bedroom. The girl followed Zhang Fan all the way, and Zhang Fan's parents tried their best to make her feel valued. They were all parents, and they cared for each other, so they couldn't make the girl feel wronged.
Shao Hua, who was lying in the big bedroom, called his parents, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"
"Eat, how's it going? It's okay!" Shao Hua's mother said worriedly.
"Yeah! It's good. The people in Zhang Fan's family are very good and treat me well. Don't worry. I'll be back in a while."
"Well, we're not worried, um, um, you're not in the same room, are you?"
"Mom! How is it possible."
"That's right, don't be too frivolous. Usually, you should be more diligent and help with cooking. People are mutual. If your family treats you well, you should also treat them well."
Zhang Fan was sleeping on the sofa in the living room, and had already fallen asleep. The smell of home urged him to fall asleep early, and he had no dreams all night.
When you arrive in Lanshi, if you don’t eat a bowl of beef noodles, you’ll be sorry for the long Yellow River. The beef noodle in your dreams is the longing for many Lanshi residents. Look at the noodle shop of a certain horse in the morning, pushing suitcases, wanderers who either left or returned. Shao Hua couldn't get used to it. Early in the morning, he had a bowl of noodles that was bigger than his face, as well as beef and eggs. How could he eat it? However, Zhang Fan and his sister ate it loudly, and Zhang Fan even ate noodles with soup. clean.
Zhang Fan is still not satisfied after eating a bowl, "I'll get you some, I really can't eat anymore, your appetite is so good, a bowl of noodles in the morning!" Shao Hua looked at the bustling people eating breakfast, very excited surprise.
"Hehe, let's get used to it. Just get used to it. You really don't want to eat it? Then I'll just eat yours and forget it. I'll go out and buy you some milk and bread later."
"No, I'll just have some soup, but this soup is really good. It's better than the beef noodles in the frontier."
"Sister-in-law, what are you having for breakfast?"
"Milk tea, pancakes, side dishes and so on. After you finish the exam, come and play with us in the frontier."
"It's better to take the exam with peace of mind, don't think about anything now." Zhang Fan took the bait and said. After dinner, Zhang Fan put his younger sister at home first, and then he and Shao Hua planned to start a trip to change relatives.
Zhang Fan's parents came back early and started various arrangements with Zhang Fan's gift. This one belongs to your uncle's house, this one belongs to your uncle's house, and yours belongs to your aunt's house. Your uncle smokes, but this cigarette It's a bit expensive, why don't you go out and buy two more
Listening to his mother's rambling arrangements, Zhang Fan didn't feel agitated at all. This is the feeling of home.
