Qiang Qiang, Qiang Qiang~
call……
Listening to the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen, Xiao Suizi felt like he had traveled back to the past.
This was how she and He Xiaoping sat outside five years ago, waiting for him to turn on the small stove. At that time, the people in the cooking class would chat while cooking, because the flames in the stove would burn brightly, and the sound would become louder unconsciously, which sounded like Just like a quarrel.
"I didn't leave. That's right. If I followed Xiao Hua's group and left the day after the group meal, where would I be able to eat the food cooked by Squad Leader Lin now?"
"That's right, it's worth staying for two more months just because of the food cooked by Squad Leader Lin. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat such delicious food again when I go home."
"Squad leader Lin, what the hell, squad leader Lin, you are living a confused life, right? He was the company commander three years ago. We haven't seen him for three years. Now he should be the deputy battalion commander."
The curtain at the kitchen door was opened. Lin Yue walked out, looked at the four men sitting at the table on the left and said, "I'm retired from the army."
There were more than a hundred people in the cultural troupe 10 years ago, but now, there are less than ten people in the entire courtyard. Some are waiting for the relevant procedures to be completed, some are reluctant to separate from their girlfriends in the city, and some are simply nostalgic for the life here. Reluctant to leave.
"Retired?"
"Retired."
Several people's expressions changed. Lin Yue has retired from the army? They don't understand that if a combat hero like him continues to stay in the army, he should be promoted to regiment-level cadres in a few years, but why is he retired?
"I took the initiative to request to retire." Lin Yue brought out the prepared dishes: "After serving as a soldier for so many years, I have never fulfilled my filial piety. My parents are old and my health is not as good as before. I want to go home and find a place to leave. They work closer.”
The few people rushed up to meet him, took the tray, and put the dishes on the dining table.
Twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, fish head with chopped pepper, plus a big bowl of three fresh soup.
Maybe it was because the topic of "going home" was too important. After the few people sat down, they were silent for a long time. Lin Yue took out a bottle of white wine from behind: "When I was looking for cooking utensils in the back, I found that there were two bottles of wine. You guys?" Drink first, and then I'll make two dishes."
Those people glanced at Xiao Suizi, who was waiting for him at the dining table on the right, and smiled at each other.
"Okay, let's drink first and wait for you to come over, Squad Leader Lin."
"You've already been discharged from the army and you still call me that."
Lin Yue patted the man on the shoulder and walked back.
"We don't care what position you hold in other troops. Here, you are the old squad leader of the cooking squad who takes care of what we eat and what we drink."
"Okay, okay, I'm the old monitor, okay."
Lin Yue opened the door curtain and walked in.
Out of politeness, the few people looked at Xiao Suizi and pointed at the dishes on the table with their chopsticks, indicating whether they wanted to come over and eat together.
She smiled and waved her hands.
Naturally, they would not force it. One of them went to the canteen window where the tableware was placed and found a few small bowls. When he came back, he unscrewed the wine bottle and poured half a bowl of wine for everyone. They ate and drank while chatting.
After the art troupe was disbanded, everyone including the cooking class left, and the few remaining people had to start their own gangs. Life is getting better and better these days. Of course, you can’t be hungry, but the taste is something I can’t praise. Now squad leader Lin When he came to visit them after he was discharged from the army, he was naturally asked to cook some dishes for everyone to satisfy their cravings.
After a while, Lin Yue came out with two rice bowls, walked to Xiao Suizi, put the dishes on the table, and took out half a bottle of wine and two cups: "Okay, let's eat."
In the rice bowl on the left is twice-cooked pork and Mapo tofu, which seemed to have come from those people’s dishes. In the rice bowl on the right is sweet and sour fish made with the leftover fish pieces from the minced pepper fish head. There are also five lotus root boxes.
"What...is going on?" She asked Lin Yue, pointing to the lotus root box.
"This? I owe you this."
"Owe me?"
Lin Yue said: "Do you still remember the day when He Xiaoping came here? We ate dumplings at night. Lin Dingding didn't like it, so Liu Feng gave her my fried lotus root box. At that time, Hao Shuwen and Zhuoma both grabbed a piece, but you didn't. , I’ll make it up for you today.”
Xiao Suizi looked at the five lotus root boxes close to the edge of the rice bowl with red eyes.
This is a specialty dish of Shandong and Shanghai. Lin Dingding is from Shanghai, and she is also from Shanghai. Although she is not as willful as Lin Dingding and always wants to get the love of others, it does not mean that she will not be touched by what he does.
Some things may seem small, but they are of great significance.
"What did you say? You're still crying. Just a few lotus root boxes. If you like them, I'll help you make them when you have time."
It was okay that he didn't speak, but when he spoke, her tears fell down, making the dining table wet.
Lin Yue stepped forward and said, "If you keep doing this, they will laugh at you."
Xiao Suizi quickly wiped her face with her hands, trying to cover up her gaffe.
Lin Yue unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle and poured her a glass of wine: "Here, let's have a drink."
She picked up the cup and touched it with him, then raised her head and drank it. After finishing it, she let out a long breath: "I thought I would never see you again. Where have you been in the past two years?"
Before today, her memory of Lin Yue was Liu Feng telling them in a tone full of self-blame and annoyance that Lin Yue had led nearly a battalion of enemies south in order to create a breakout opportunity for their troops.
After that, she made many inquiries but could not get any news about him. Many people said that he was killed in battle, but his body could not be found.
Lin Yue said: "At that time, I was forced to a mountain by the enemy. I had run out of bullets and finished the food. In order to prevent them from being captured, I jumped off the cliff. I thought I would fall to death, but unexpectedly I was washed away by the river and hit the enemy. He was rescued by an old farmer in the occupied area. Because his injuries were serious, he lay in bed for half a year. Only after the war ended did he find the opportunity to return to his country."
"You... must have suffered a lot."
"No matter how hard it is, can it be worse than the brothers lying in the cemetery?"
Xiao Suizi stopped talking. She was unwilling to continue this topic. People who have never experienced war may get excited when mentioning this matter. They think that fighting the enemy bravely is the true nature of a man. However, 99.9% of people who have actually experienced war do not I hope this happens again.
"Come, drink."
"drink wine."
Some words are all in the wine and needless to say.
Those few people were very sensible and had almost finished eating. They came over and toasted Lin Yue with a glass of wine and then left. The two of them drank until nightfall.
After washing the tableware and putting them away, they came out of the cafeteria. When passing the newsstand in front, Lin Yue stopped, pointed to the bright Chinese watch pattern in the upper right corner and said, "This..."
Xiao Suizi breathed out wine and said, "I painted it, how do you like it?"
Lin Yue said: "Well, I have five powers."
"Only 50%?"
She was a little disappointed.
She used to be responsible for publishing blackboard newspapers. She was very good at writing articles and making up stories, but she was not so good at drawing on the blackboard. Once, because her assessment score was too low, the chief secretary asked her to go to Lin Yue to find a solution.
I wonder if he, a cook who has not graduated from high school, can do anything good? She was very emotional about this matter, and because Lin Yue and Chen Can refused to deal with each other, and she liked Chen Can, she naturally didn't want to be his partner. However, since it was the order of the Chief Secretary, she had no choice but to comply.
Countless facts have proven that this guy can always surprise people.
When he walked under the newsstand with a box of colored pencils and quickly and meticulously left chalk drawings on it one by one, she was stunned, and everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
Later, she asked the chief secretary why he knew Lin Yue could do this well. The chief secretary gave her several purchase orders. After seeing the handwriting, layout, and neat little symbols on the paper, she understood, although she didn't know why. But obviously, it is impossible for an ordinary "high school student who has not finished reading" to write such a document, and later events have proved that this person is probably the most educated person in the group.
"Then add 10% to 60%. If you want to surpass me as a teacher, you will have to practice for a few more years."
Xiao Suizi looked at his joking face under the street lamp.
"Tell me, how many unknown skills do you have hidden away?"
"You really want to know?"
"..."
For some reason, she didn't answer the question. After a while, she suddenly raised her head: "Can you hug me again?"
