The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Director Wei, "Wife, hurry up and prepare two dishes, quickly."

Liu Xiaoli agreed, "You two can sit down for a while, I'll cook right away. I knew Xiao Huo would be back in the next few days, so I made all the preparations in advance."

Liu Xiaoli went to the kitchen and took out a piece of frozen meat and a piece of cooked pig intestine from the basket outside the window.

Put the meat and pig intestines in water and let them soak.

He took a large cabbage from the wall, cut off the two wilted outermost stalks, and broke off four or five good leaves. He sliced ​​them into cabbage slices.

Then he took out a handful of soaked cucumbers from an enamel basin, washed them, and squeezed out the water.

Then start cutting the pork belly and pig intestines.

Prepare stir-fry.

I was thinking, it’s almost time for lunch, why hasn’t Heping come back yet?

In the living room, Director Wei was chatting with Huo Sheng.

Director Wei, "How about you come back and go to the small fleet?"

Huo Sheng went to the small fleet, which was convenient for him to use, and Jiang Wanying would have more opportunities to spend time with him.

Wanying is a good girl. She is good-looking, warm and kind.

It was a good match for Huo Sheng to marry her.

Huo Sheng, "I still prefer to drive a large truck. The schedule is regular. I am not good at explaining things to others. Director Wei, what do you think..."

The key is that he is not fit to be a serviceman because he doesn't have to follow the leader around.

I don't want to have too much contact with certain women.

Director Wei didn't want to let go.

"You go ahead and do it. It's winter now, and driving a big truck is dangerous and hard.

It's the end of the year, and our small fleet is too slow and short of manpower.

Let’s talk about it after the New Year, what do you think?”

Director Wei spoke very earnestly, in a negotiating and pleading tone.

Huo Sheng hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Director Wei, "Your original room has been given to someone else. There is an empty room near the mountain. I'll have someone take you there to have a look. If it doesn't work, you can stay at the guesthouse for a while."

Huo Sheng, "It's okay, it's the same everywhere, as long as it's livable, there's no need to make so much trouble."

How could Huo Sheng not live in the house he was allocated and instead choose to live in a guesthouse? Isn't that asking for trouble?

The two were chatting when Wei Heping came running back in, and as soon as he entered the door he shouted, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

Director Wei glared and said, "You are rude. Didn't you see that your brother Huo is here?"

Wei Heping ignored his father and saw Huo Sheng's eyes light up.

"Brother Huo, you're back. I missed you so much."

After Brother Huo passed away, his family ate much less meat.

Huo Sheng stood up and patted Wei Heping on the shoulder. "I haven't seen you for a few months. You've grown taller."

Liu Xiaoli came out with a plate of fried peanuts.

"Old Wei, please take Huo Sheng to the table. The food will be ready soon."

Then he said to his son, "Come here."

Wei Heping followed him into the kitchen obediently.

Liu Xiaoli got the canteen meal ticket.

"Go get some steamed buns or rice."

He lowered his voice and said, "By the way, tell your sister to come back for dinner."

He pointed to the living room.

Wei Heping grinned, "Okay."

I secretly felt that Brother Wei didn't think highly of my cousin and that my parents were worrying about nothing.

With quick hands and eyes, he picked up a piece of pig intestine from the plate on the stove and put it in his mouth. Before her mother could slap him, he ran out with the lunch box.

Although Wei Heping did not agree with his parents' idea, he still obediently went to find his cousin first.

Then I went to the cafeteria to get my food.

Jiang Wanying hurried to Director Wei's house.

She walked in a hurry, and when she entered the room, she was still a little out of breath, with her chest heaving.

The little face is also rosy and the eyes are bright.

The joy inside cannot be hidden.

Huo Sheng took one look and turned his head away.

Jiang Wanying hesitated, suppressed her joy, and tried to call out calmly,

"Brother Huo, you are here."

Huo Sheng had no choice but to look up and respond to her, "Well, are you off work?"

Jiang Wanying hung her scarf on the hook by the door and said,

"I just met Heping on the road. He told me happily that Brother Huo is back. He was so happy."

She was also extremely happy.

Brother Huo has been away recently, and no matter how my aunt said that Brother Huo would come back, she felt depressed and looked forward to it day and night. Now she finally saw him.

Huo Sheng didn't say anything else.

Director Wei took over the conversation, "That kid really admires you and wants to learn some boxing and hunting from you."

Huo Sheng didn't want to take this job. He was very busy. In addition to work, he had to take care of things in Beijing and was busy chasing after his wife.

It’s not convenient to carry a burden.

"I'm not used to it anymore. Besides, the military life is too hard and not suitable for him.

He is still young, and working in an organization in the future is the right way to go.

Being a soldier is too dangerous and hard.”

Seeing that he was declining, Director Wei did not force him.

The days are still long.

Liu Xiaoli brought out another plate of fried meat with cucumber.

"Wanying is back? She's here to help me cook. Wanying's cooking skills are better than mine. Come and help Auntie cook two dishes for them to try."

Jiang Wanying washed her hands and happily went into the kitchen.

Liu Xiaoli served the sauerkraut soup that she had made for lunch.

Jiang Wanying stir-fried cabbage with pork intestines.

I also fried some shredded potatoes with meat.

We had four dishes and one soup.

While Jiang Wanying was cooking the second dish, Wei Heping came back at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Firstly, he was afraid that the steamed buns would be too cold, and secondly, he wanted to eat.

Thinking of the table full of food, he became even hungrier.

When Huo Sheng saw that the dishes were finished, he said,

"Sister-in-law, let's eat them all together. It's cold, and it won't be good if they get cold soon."

When he called her sister-in-law, everyone was stunned.

Director Wei is younger than his father and older than Huo Sheng, just in between in age.

He was a soldier under Huo Sheng's father, and everyone called him Commander Huo Zhengping.

When Huo Sheng came, the children started calling him "Big Brother". He didn't care about it before.

Today, he suddenly called Liu Xiaoli "sister-in-law", which is a generation different from Jiang Wanying.

The meaning is obvious.

Jiang Wanying almost burst into tears.

Liu Xiaoli reacted quite quickly.

"This, this makes me sound young. I'm a little embarrassed.

Okay, let's eat together! Wanying, you can also come to the table and eat.

Heping will also borrow your brother Huo's help today, please come to the table."

Everyone sat at the table. Director Wei and Huo Sheng stopped drinking and started eating.

Jiang Wanying felt that the food she was eating was stuck in her chest, and she was choking and couldn't eat.

I forced myself to finish the meal.

Director Wei, "Heping, you and your sister take Huo Sheng to the dormitory and ask him to check if there is anything missing. You and your sister can help him pack it up and buy some things."

Wei Heping ate so much that his stomach was full and he burped.

"Dad, don't worry. Brother Huo, let's go."

Huo Sheng carried his sack and went out with the siblings.

This dormitory is really remote, at the very front, right next to the mountain, with woods just outside the door.

Ordinary people naturally don’t like this location because the trees block the sunlight, there are many mosquitoes, and it is unsafe.

But Huo Sheng liked it very much. It was convenient for him to go into the mountains, and it was also convenient for Qi Feifei to come over.

Don't be too nice.

When I entered the house, I saw frost on the walls. The house had been empty for a whole winter and was freezing cold.

There was a chill everywhere.
