The long noodles come in and the dumplings come out. Zhang Fan's mother was afraid that Shao Hua wouldn't be used to the long noodles from the northwest, so she specially steamed some rice and prepared it with both hands.
A table full 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 and bought a lot of things.
It is a tradition in Zhang Fan's family not to drink alcohol, so I can't do much better. But if you don’t drink some wine today, it will really ruin the atmosphere. The red wine, liquor, 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 noodle glory is in Su Province and the neighboring Shaanxi Province. The noodles are as thin as hair and continuous. Topped with egg droplets, diced pork, radish, and diced potatoes, the taste is really incredible.
Although Frontier's noodles are good, they just lack the craftsmanship of making pasta.
"Eat, eat more, girl, you can eat whichever you like. If you can't get the ones here, I'll give them to you." Zhang Fan's mother kept picking up vegetables for Shao Hua, fearing that Shao Hua would starve.
"Since you have become a doctor, you will stop drinking. I will drink a little today. Does Shao Hua drink liquor?"
"Uncle, I don't drink liquor!"
"Drink some wine, I can't drink it. You drink some wine with my parents."
"Okay, I'll have a drink with my uncle and aunt." Shao Hua was not pretentious at all.
Chatting while eating, talking about various jokes, ridiculous past events, and laughter at the dinner table. Thousands of miles away from the Shao Hua family, "Hua Zi and the others arrived at Zhang Fan's house safely. They don't know whether Hua Zi is used to it or whether the people in Zhang Fan's family are easy to get along with. They are not satisfied with Hua Zi."
Shao Hua's parents sat opposite each other. Although it was already dinner time, they were not in the mood to eat.
"My Hua son is so good, there's nothing to criticize. There's only one month left, hey!" Shao Hua's father sighed. The mother is really worried when her son travels thousands of miles!
"How's your review going? Your sister-in-law and I came from thousands of miles away to cheer you up. Don't let your guard down."
"No way. You and your sister-in-law just wait for my good news. Dabei and Huaqing are not guaranteed, but other schools should still be fine."
"Okay! Be ambitious. Come on, be better than your brother."
Shao Hua smiled and listened to their brother and sister's conversation. "Shitou did not do well in the college entrance examination when his father was laid off!" Zhang Fan's mother explained.
"Why are you talking about this? Isn't it a good time now?" His father said a little complaining.
"No, I didn't learn well in the first place, I can't find an excuse!"
After eating, sleeping is a problem. Jingshu is about to take the college entrance examination and cannot 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 are very different in age, otherwise they would not have been able to live there before. After dinner, Shao Hua went to help in the kitchen, but was pushed out by Zhang Fan's mother, "I've been riding in the car for several days. Get some rest. My daughter, this is also your home. You can't go outside. Go with them." say something."
Zhang Fan's father smoked the good cigarettes Zhang Fan brought and looked at his son's calm face, feeling extremely happy. "This kid has had ideas since he was a child. He finally grew up!"
Shao Hua left the kitchen and sat next to Zhang Fan. "Try it, this is a soft pear from the northwest, specially frozen in the refrigerator, specially reserved for you."
Zhang Jingshu, now in the small bedroom, is reviewing with peace of mind. Her brother is back, and she is also relieved. The college entrance examination is in two days. In the past two years, her brother has paid her a monthly living allowance of 1,000 yuan on time. She does not have to worry about tuition and living expenses like her brother does. She is lucky! I opened a small shop at home and my life has improved a lot. Parents don’t have to go around to work like they used to.
After Zhang Fan's mother finished cleaning the kitchen, she also sat on the sofa and chatted quietly with Shao Hua. In an old-fashioned house, Jingshu can hear it louder. So everyone’s voice was very low. "Shao Hua, the big wardrobe in the big bedroom contains the new pajamas I bought for you. I was worried that they were a bit too big. I didn't expect you to be so tall, so they should be just right. Later, Zhang Fan's father and I will go to stay at Uncle Zhang Fan's house, and so will you. Take a bath and go to bed early, I’ve been really tired these past few days. Then you can 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."
"Auntie, you don't mind. My family isn't big, so it's not convenient for you to stay with relatives. Otherwise~" Shao Hua couldn't go on. He really had no choice. On his first day at Zhang Fan's house, it was unreasonable to stay in a hotel outside.
"Haha, I can tell at a glance that you are a good girl, good-looking and kind-hearted. It's okay. His uncle's house is in a community 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 after riding in the car for several days, so I didn’t let them come. You can go and have a look in time for tomorrow. His uncle was very kind to Zhang Fan when he was a child. Now Zhang Fan Bringing such a beautiful daughter-in-law back will make them happy too!"
"Auntie!" Shao Hua was a little embarrassed by Zhang Fan's mother's praise. It's an old-fashioned house that can barely be lived in. This house is really old. It was built with aid from the Soviet Union.
After taking a shower in the evening, Shao Hua was arranged by Zhang Fan to live in the big bedroom. The girl traveled thousands of miles to follow Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan's parents tried their best to make her feel valued. As parents, they should be considerate and not let their daughter feel wronged.
Shao Hua, who was lying in the big bedroom, called his parents and said, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"
"Eat, how are you? Are you okay?" Shao Hua's mother said a little worriedly.
"Well! It's good. The people in Zhang Fan's family are very nice and they treat me well. Don't worry. I will be back after a while."
"Well, we're not worried. Um, you guys aren't in the same room."
"Mom! How is that possible?"
"That's right, don't be too frivolous. You should also be diligent and help with cooking and so on. We are all reciprocal. If other people's families are good to you, you should also be good to other people's families."
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 a dreamless night.
When you arrive in Lanshi, you would be sorry for the long Yellow River if you don't have a bowl of beef noodles. The beef noodles that linger in your dreams are the longing for home for many people in Lanshi. Look at Ma's noodle shop in the morning, and there are tourists pushing suitcases, either leaving or returning. Shao Hua couldn't get used to eating a bowl of noodles that was bigger than his face so early in the morning, as well as beef and eggs. How could he keep eating it? But Zhang Fan and his sister ate so much that Zhang Fan ate the noodles with soup. A clean one.
Zhang Fan was still unsatisfied after finishing a bowl of noodles, "Let me get you some, I really can't eat any more. You guys have such a good appetite, a bowl of noodles in the morning!" Shao Hua looked at the bustling people eating breakfast and was very surprised. surprise.
"Haha, it's customary. Just get used to it. You really don't want to eat? Then I'll just eat yours. I'll go out and buy you some milk bread later."
"No, I'll just drink some soup, but this soup is really good. It's better than the beef noodles from the frontier."
"Sister-in-law, what do you have for breakfast?"
"Milk tea, cakes, side dishes and so on. After you finish the exam, come and go to the border with us."
"Let's just take the exam with peace of mind. Don't think about anything now." Zhang Fan took over the conversation and said. After dinner, Zhang Fan left his sister at home, and then prepared to start the journey of changing relatives with Shao Hua.
Zhang Fan's parents came back early and started making various arrangements with Zhang Fan's gifts. This one is from your uncle's house, this one is from your uncle's house, and you are from 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?
Zhang Fan didn't feel irritated at all while listening to his mother's nagging arrangements. This was the feeling of home.
