Chapter 83

The store was still boarded up, so Lin Minjun snapped the last board shut with the help of Auntie Cao, and the two of them headed in the direction of the tricycle

When Lin Minjun pedaled the tricycle and slowly rode forward, she saw Erwa running towards her brother, and with a bounce, jumped onto the back of the bicycle

Erwa caught up with her brother, jumped onto the bike when he wasn’t looking, and grabbed the seat with her hand

“If you want to get on the bike, call me directly, I’ll stop, don’t jump on” Yan Li said in a deep voice

Erwa, however, spat out her tongue and suddenly spoke out, “Brother, I know who you like”

Yan Li breathed a sigh of relief

“You like my sister, don’t you?” Erwa tilted his head, with an air of I already guessed it

Bicycle handle suddenly a crooked, almost to fall down, good Yan Li immediately used his legs to support, his legs are long, Erwa can not support the place, he propped up the bike will be stable in that

Erwa was shocked just now, and when he saw that the bike didn’t fall down, he immediately asked, “Is it my sister? Is it my sister?”

He smiled wryly: “I just saw, just now when my sister and the director of the Su talk, your eyes have been looking at my sister”

Erwa put his face on his brother’s back and smothered a laugh

In fact, he has always been very afraid, afraid of Lin Minjun get married, married out, after all, after the marriage of Lin Minjun certainly can no longer live in the compound

Erwa was worried that after her sister got married, she would be bullied outside, how would she be counted? She is so sincere that when she meets people who are nice to her, she is twice as nice to them Erwa is always worried that her sister will be bullied outside, and even more worried that if she is really bullied, she will not be able to help her because she has not yet grown into an adult

A long time ago, Erwa even thought, if his sister did not get married, he did not want to get married, siblings rely on each other, his sister does not have to be bullied

But on further reflection, Erwa felt that this idea was wrong, his sister was so good, how lonely would it be to live her life alone? Moreover, he didn’t know whether his sister wanted to get married or not After seeing Luo Lin, Erwa was sure that his sister probably still wanted to get married

Since his brother liked his sister, and his sister also wanted to get married, Erwa’s mind flew open, why couldn’t he help push? The two could try to get in touch, what if? What if they see eye to eye? Wouldn’t he get a brother back and a sister back, truly becoming a family?

As long as he thought of this possibility, Erwa’s mouth was about to smile crookedly, stretching out his finger to poke his brother’s back, saying quietly, “Brother, my sister has completely broken up with that Luo Lin, it’s impossible, there’s still hope for you, do you want me to help you with ideas, think of a way to pursue my sister?”

He thought for a moment, “Zhou Ran told me before that girls have to be pursued, I’ll ask him later, I’m sure I can think of a good way, you have to think of a way to get a date, you can’t just rely on others”

Erwa muttered at the back, constantly pouring out ideas

“Stop it” Yan Li suddenly interrupted

Erwa: “What’s wrong brother? Don’t you want to chase my sister? Don’t want to be with my sister?”

How could he not want to

But Yan Li felt that this probably wouldn’t work

When he first came back, in order to express his gratitude, he took Lin Minjun as his sister in one breath, and in order to avoid suspicion, he has so far called out Xiao Lin

He had put himself in the position of a brother, and Xiao Lin also believed in her heart that he was the brother and she was the sister, and the two of them were brother and sister

At this time suddenly changed his mind and said he wanted to pursue, what would Xiao Lin think, she would definitely be shocked

Yan Li wanted to think that she would be shocked, so he thought to forget about it, he would just watch from afar

If she felt that she was a brother, then he would be a brother for life, protect her and smooth out all the difficulties for her

But Erwa also knows about this matter, he may talk out of turn

As a public security officer, and having gone to war, Yan Li actually had so many ways to shut a child up, but in the heat of the moment he used the dumbest one

Yan Li looked back at his brother and said faintly, “Shut up and don’t be allowed to say anything”

Erwa glanced at his brother’s clenched fists, and the veins that were vaguely popping out on his arms, realizing that he wasn’t as calm as he looked on the surface

“Don’t say anything, I’ll never say anything” Erva reached up and pulled at his mouth, indicating that he had sewn it shut

He would never say anything, he would only give actions!

–

The last time Director Su specifically came over to ask Lin Minjun to come to his home to cook, the reward was a full one hundred and eighty dollars, which Lin Minjun took to heart

At the appointed time, Lin Minjun went to the place where she had arranged with Director Su, and was led by Director Su to the house where she was going to treat the guests

That is a military compound, when you go in the check and check, to confirm that there is no problem with the identity to go in, Lin Minjun in the check secretly in the heart of the nervous, afraid that people because they are Yunnan people, no official work does not allow themselves to go in

Fortunately, this is not the focus of the check, after the check, but also someone to guarantee, Lin Minjun followed the director of the Su, waiting for a while at the gate will be waiting for the guarantor

From the guardhouse out, they went inside the compound, Director Su pointed to the side of the middle-aged woman introduced: “This is today’s birthday that the old man’s daughter-in-law, you call Ms Shen on the line”

Before coming, Lin Minjun had already roughly understood that the old man who celebrated his birthday was surnamed Zhang, and was the leader of the army, which was the host family of today’s treat, and now that she had seen the old man’s daughter-in-law, she greeted him and said, “Good day, Ms Shen”

“You’re Xiao Lin, right, I didn’t expect to be so young” Teacher Shen was also very good at talking, and just gave Lin Minjun an unexpected glance

Lin Minjun pursed her lips, smiled and didn’t say anything, her hand clenched tightly

From the guardhouse all the way to the family building, up the stairs and then greeted the old man and the old lady, the old man with presbyopia glasses to read the newspaper

After one by one greetings Lin Minjun completely not nervous, before she came she was worried that this family is not good to talk to, treat yourself as a maid to call, after coming to make sure that this family is very polite, her attitude is not like to the maid or servant, is to treat a craftsman normal attitude, this is very good

Lin Minjun instantly relaxed and became much more comfortable

Business banquet is scheduled for the evening, this moment is a little after noon, just in time to prepare a table of dishes, Lin Minjun first found Mr Shen, first reported the menu that he was going to do

( Important note: If the book friends can not open b a o s h u 2 c o m old domain name, you can visit b a o s h u 7 c o m or b a o s h u 6 c o m alternate domain name to visit this site )

After the report, she asked, “Mr Shen, your family and invited guests have any taboos? For example, do not like to eat folded ear root, or can not eat spicy?”

Teacher Shen was a bit surprised: “There are these preoccupations?”

“It’s not really a precept, individuals have their own personal preferences” Lin Minjun deliberated, “I was thinking that since it’s the old master’s birthday, it’s best that everyone comes to congratulate and eat happily, so it’s best that everyone is taken care of, so if there’s anything that you can’t eat, or don’t want to eat, say it in advance, and I can adjust it all now”

The old man heard this, put down the newspaper, and spoke in a neutral tone: “There is nothing to avoid, these dishes are fine, it’s just that there should be a few more that don’t have chili peppers, old Wu has a bad stomach and can’t eat spicy food”

“Good, just eating vegetables is not much fun, I’ll make another soup” Lin Minjun nodded and said

The old man’s face was full of appreciation, “Thoughtful, Xiao Shen, the person you found this time is very good”

Mr Shen kindly took Lin Minjun’s hand and patted it, nodding with a smile, “Where, it’s the person recommended by Xiao Su, she’s the one who found a good one”

Director Su also stood next to him and smiled

Teacher Shen: “Then I’m going to find someone to buy vegetables now, in a moment I’ll buy them back and can start cooking directly”

The person that Teacher Shen found was very efficient, not long after Lin Minjun’s menu was reported, baskets and baskets of vegetables were delivered, they were all of the freshest kind, and there was a bucket of yellow chili peppers still flopping around in the water

Lin Minjun went into the kitchen to cook, hand up knife down, duk duk duk sound fell on the plate, soon cut the ingredients and turn into a meal into a plate, out of the pot

The meals were all served out by Mr Shen, Lin Minjun was only responsible for cooking in the kitchen, and after the last dish was served, she was nervous as an afterthought, wondering what the guests thought of the taste

She began to gather things in the kitchen and clean the kitchen, while straining her ears to listen to the movements outside

After about thirty to forty minutes, the guests finished eating and started crooning, so Lin Minjun listened even more attentively

Voices from outside came in

“Today this meal is really well done, it has the flavor of Yunnan, don’t look at the selling looks not as exquisite as outside restaurants, but the taste is first class” A guest said

Another also said: “Indeed, when we were in the dry school with the old folks good relations, we also went to the old folks home guests, when we ate the meal is this flavor, really nostalgic, a turn of the eye are so many years past, we are old”

“It’s not old, how many years have passed, we have all become young people into the present appearance”

In fact, when people get old, their sense of taste deteriorates, and what they miss is not necessarily the delicious bite when they were young, but the time they spent together when they were young when they ate that mouthful of rice Today, Lin Minjun’s cooking reminds them of their own youth, and naturally, they are full of emotions

It sounded like the guests who came today were unanimous in their praise of the meal, and the sound of jokes and laughter outside never stopped, Lin Minjun pressed her heart, slightly relieved

At this time another guest said: “Your family today this meal is certainly not self-made, from outside the chef, right? Which restaurant? How come I haven’t heard of any restaurant’s chef on the street that can make such authentic Yunnan cuisine”

Teacher Shen smiled and pointed at Director Su: “I didn’t hire it today, it’s the chef that Little Su hired”

At that moment, someone asked after him, “Which restaurant is it”

Director Su: “It’s the owner of a rice noodle store, who happens to know me, they are a proper Yunnan girl, their craftsmanship is authentic”

She knew that Lin Minjun was interested in continuing this business, and would like to continue to help people cook and fix banquets in the future, so her words of praise were like no money at all

But Director Su has already boasted Lin Minjun out of the flower, people heard just a rice noodle store cook, eyes inevitably some contempt: “rice noodle store ah ”

The person stretched his voice and didn’t continue, nor did he say that he would also invite next time

On the contrary, someone was excited to say: “Where is the rice noodle store, where is it? I’ll go taste the flavor sometime”

Director Su then took a piece of paper and wrote down the address of the store

At this time Lin Minjun didn’t know what it meant to have a good time, but she had eyes and ears, and she realized that everyone was particularly happy with this meal, and at the end there were people singing, and people knocking on the table to join in the beat

There were also people who brought up all the delicious food they had eaten when they were in Yunnan

“Ham, battered tofu, bait cubes, thin bean noodles I haven’t eaten any of these things for years, and I don’t know if I will have the chance to go to Yunnan again in this life to taste the flavor”

Zhang old man followed sigh: “I still like the most battered tofu and ham, when the New Year’s Eve there, the old folks called us over to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner together, the table has a ham stewed chicken, which also puts the wild mushrooms picked up in the mountains, the taste, the earth’s most fresh is just like this, but unfortunately never tasted it”

“Dad, when you get better, our whole family will accompany you to eat again” Mr Shen hurriedly said

Elder Zhang smiled and let out a long sigh without saying anything, when he was young he ran around everywhere, his body was full of problems everywhere as he got older, he knew he wouldn’t have the energy to go out of town anymore

Lin Minjun heard but remembered it in his heart

Everyone finished eating one by one to say goodbye, people are all gone, Ms Shen walked into the kitchen, came in and said: “Xiao Lin today thanks to you, I do not remember how long my father has not been so happy, he also said, you are meticulous, all the meals are done soft and tasty, although sacrificed a little bit of the appearance, but they are older, bad teeth, but also can eat it! , he asked me to say thank you for him, thank you”

Saying this, she pulled out a small paper bag held up with red paper, inside bulging with money at a glance

Lin Minjun had just finished cleaning up the kitchen, her hands were still wet, and she wiped her hands on her apron, “It’s okay”

Teacher Shen handed over the red paper, “This is the gratuity that was agreed upon at the beginning, I added a little more as a good luck, thank you for coming to help with the cooking today, you’ve gone through a lot of trouble”

People talk is really polite, smile is also really happy, Lin Minjun thought of just now the old man said he wanted to eat ham, hesitated for a moment, finally overcame his shyness, raised his eyes to look at Mr Shen and said, “Mr Shen, just now I heard the old man said he wanted to eat those specialties of Yunnan, the other is not to talk about, that ham I have a way to get it, I can help you to buy it, to ensure that it is the most authentic I don’t need you to give any reward, just as a good karma, let the old master fulfill his wish”

“Really? You can really buy it?” Mr Shen immediately shook Lin Minjun’s hand, “How much does a leg cost?”

Lin Minjun honestly said, “I don’t know yet, I have to make a phone call back to ask, it shouldn’t be cheap, it takes a whole pig leg to make ham, it’s not cheap in the first place, plus there’s shipping on the way”

“No matter how much money I want one, the old man thought of it, and now there is such an opportunity, how can we when the younger generation must find a way to meet” Mr Shen said boldly, “You can contact me despite, no matter how much it costs, even if you add money No, I have to pack more red envelopes for you, this matter is really a lot of effort”

“No need” Lin Minjun thought about it and said, “I really don’t need to give you money, but if you really want to thank me, if you happen to see this kind of cooking thing in the future, and if anyone wants to eat Yunnan style food, just think of me, okay?”

“Why not, of course” Teacher Shen liked Lin Minjun even more

She was originally a straightforward person, and liked to socialize with people who were generous, if Lin Minjun had taken money today, or secretly made other requests, she would have felt that this person was not right for her temper, and would not have interacted with her again in the future

But Lin Minjun said it so frankly, Teacher Shen was instead happy, “Don’t worry, in the future, if there is such a thing, but if I know about it, I will be the first to tell you”

She looked at her own kitchen and said with particular surprise, “That’s not right, I only invited you over to cook, how did you clean up the kitchen? It’s cleaned up so well, who could tell it’s just been cooked”

“Smooth thing, I like to clean up while cooking, if the kitchen is a mess after cooking, I still have to spend time cleaning it up myself, so I did it by hand” Lin Minjun said with a smile

Teacher Shen: “No, you’re being too polite, is this basket filled with leftover ingredients?”

“Yes, there’s still some beef in there, some shrimp, vegetables, I put them all together”

In the next second, Teacher Shen put it into Lin Minjun’s hand along with the basket, “I don’t cook well, it’s a waste of time to give me all of this, take it back and eat it”

Lin Minjun excused herself a few times and couldn’t, seeing that Teacher Shen was getting angry, she had to accept it and helplessly said, “Then I’ll go and contact for you as soon as possible, and try to ship the ham over earlier”

“That’s a good feeling!” Teacher Shen sent Lin Minjun out the door, and when he reached the door, he said, “The family will still have to come to celebrate their birthday in a while, so I won’t send you there, you can go out directly when you walk to the guard room, don’t be afraid”

Lin Minjun carried the basket all the way out of the compound, out of the bus is ready to go home, suddenly saw a person on the side of the road, look also strange familiar

That person turned his head, Lin Minjun shouted, “Director Su”

Director Su actually hasn’t left yet, it seems that he is waiting for himself

Seeing Lin Minjun come out, Director Su pushed his bicycle over and smiled before he got there, “It seems that you and Ms Shen really hit it off, she even let you take these back”

“It’s her being polite” Lin Minjun said with embarrassment

Director Su pushed his bike outside and gestured for Lin Minjun to follow, “Don’t be modest, Xiao Lin I find that you’re just too modest or not confident to know how well you’ve done Today you did exceptionally well, it’s because you did well that people are so polite”

“Is it not good to be humble?” Lin Minjun walked after her

She was a little confused, when she was a child growing up in the countryside, the townspeople complimented her on her good cooking and good work, and she also used to be not modest next, but the uncle s family said that girls should not be like this, girls should be modest, not smug

Director Su helplessly said, “Modesty has gone too far, you are good, you are good, people praise you from the heart, what can’t you pick up, you were originally this kind of person ah”

Lin Minjun froze for a few seconds and continued to walk forward

After walking for a while, looking to the fork in the road, Director Su turned around and said, “Xiao Lin, I won’t be working in the hospital in the future, I’ve transferred to another position, I’m now in the Investment Promotion Bureau, you can come over to me if you have things”

Lin Minjun was a bit curious, “Aren’t you a doctor? How can you still transfer to another position”

“Who told you I’m a doctor?” Director Su was also curious, “I’m in charge of personnel, it’s a clerical position, going to the Merchants Bureau is also a clerical job, it’s actually almost the same”

“Investment Promotion Bureau” Lin Minjun repeated, “What is this place ah?”

Director Su explained in detail, “Isn’t our country reforming and opening up now? Open to the outside world, we have to recruit foreign capital to invest in us, build factories, by then they produce things we can buy, what we couldn’t buy before, we will be able to buy later, but also cheaper, they come here to build factories, don’t they still have to recruit workers? Then they can provide more jobs, in short, it’s a place to deal with foreign businessmen”

Lin Minjun vaguely understood a little bit, there was a time in his previous life when Lu Deping also opened his mouth to foreign businessmen and closed his mouth to foreign investment

Director Su sighed, “This time it’s considered a flat transfer, in fact, I could have gone to a better position, but my education was not enough, I was brushed off by others, and ate the big loss of education”

When Lin Minjun heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up

Director Su: “What’s wrong? Is there something you want to say to me?”

“There is one thing” Lin Minjun was quite embarrassed, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to go to school, but I couldn’t find a way, I’m all grown up now, and the school definitely won’t accept me”

“You want to go to school? This is a good thing, why are you embarrassed” Director Su looked at his watch and saw that it was still early, so he simply pushed the bicycle to the side of the road and pulled Lin Minjun to interrogate her carefully, “Tell me again, what is your plan?”

Lin Minjun’s face was like that of a ripe peach, slowly crawling with redness, “I want to go to college”
