Chapter 58 Chapter fifty-seven

Shi Yan giggled at the words "mother monk", then asked worriedly, "Is she good at cooking?" "Who? My mother? She doesn't know how to cook. She is so absorbed in her work that she has no time to take care of housework. Our family always hires nannies, even during the Cultural Revolution. When she died, my dad found a relative from the countryside to cook for our family. If she doesn’t pay her, it’s not considered an employment, but we support her whole family—” She breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her mother-in-law can't cook, she will have one less shortcoming, and maybe she can show her hand and win her favor, because her mother-in-law can't cook at all, she can at least know a little, I'm afraid That nanny is a master cook, so let's compare her.She asked curiously: "Then every time you go back—you go to eat the babysitter?"

"Not to eat the nanny, but to eat the meal made by the nanny—" "That's what I mean. Your nanny is—who is it?" "Chinese, woman, but don't think about it, she is already very old, very ugly, not worthy of your jealousy——, I know you women regard all female animals as rivals in love—" "Nonsense, would I treat a nanny as a love rival?" She still admitted in her heart that what he said was a little bit right, because she had confused him with the train conductor that time, but now she is concerned about other things, "I Went to - there, what do you call your mother?"

He is very magnanimous: "If you can call her Mom, call her Mom, and if you can't, call her Aunt Qiao, she doesn't care about these—" After receiving this preferential policy, she finally felt relieved. On the morning before going to her mother-in-law's house, she was so nervous that she almost had diarrhea. She ran to the bathroom several times in a row and felt the urge to defecate or urinate. Finally, Zhuo Zhuo said, "It doesn't matter if you don't finish the bowel movement. Time to take you to the nearest toilet on a motorcycle—" She just went downstairs with him, got on the motorcycle and said: "Wait a minute—" But he didn't wait any longer, and started the motorcycle directly. In fact, she was on the road, and she didn't feel like peeing anymore.

When I arrived at my mother-in-law's house, before I went upstairs, I met several neighbors who came up to say hello. They all talked to Zhuo Liang, but looked at her, making her furious. They were afraid that they would think that she was not worthy of being Director Qiao of the Education Committee. daughter-in-law.She timidly followed him into her mother-in-law's house, and found that it was not as luxurious as she had imagined, only bigger than her parents' house. Joyo's mother is a little older than in the photo, but she has the demeanor of a cadre from an intellectual background. She is wearing a thin black open-breasted sweater with a white shirt inside and gray trousers underneath, which looks very high-end.She has never dared to match the top and bottom in such a way, because her lower body is stronger than her upper body. If she is matched like this, her lower body will look stronger, like an A-line.But she felt that his mother's combination was very stylish and foreign, and she admired her so much.

After Zhuo Zhuo introduced them, the three of them sat down in the living room and chatted, and Aunt Jiang, the nanny, brought them tea.Aunt Jiang is not as "ugly" as Zhuozhuo said, and of course she is not beautiful. She is just a very ordinary middle-aged woman with a big and flat face. Face", it can be seen that it is from the country, but it is not the kind that just came out of the country, but the kind that has been in the city for many years. There are bookcases on both walls of the living room, which are full of books, big and small. Where she is sitting, she can just see the study room. As far as the eye can see, there are all bookcases, which are full of books.She can't see what it is, but it's definitely not, and she feels very stressed, because she doesn't have so many bookcases at home, and the only two bookcases are filled with textbooks used by her and her brother, and things like that, I don't know whether Excellence cares about the difference in background and taste between the two.

She sat there with low self-esteem, a little at a loss, Aunt Qiao came to talk to her after talking to Zhuoyue, and the two talked about some insignificant topics, which somehow got involved with her work.She thought, no, you won't ask me what achievements I have made at work during this time?If you ask, it is really a blank paper. But what Aunt Qiao cares about is not her work performance, but the nature of her work: "You graduated from the Teachers College? Then why do you work in the Scientific Research Department of the Teachers College? There is no rule that graduates from the Teachers College must go to middle schools to teach What? Why didn't you—didn't go to middle school?"

She didn't know if Aunt Qiao really didn't know or if she didn't know, so she hummed and didn't answer directly. Aunt Qiao said very bluntly: "You are violating the principle of distribution of graduates of the normal college. Are you a relative of someone in the normal college?" She felt that Aunt Qiao didn't seem to be pretending to be serious, so she had no choice but to hum and not answer directly. But her humming and hahaha clearly confirmed her crime. Aunt Qiao no longer inspired her to confess and be lenient, and directly sentenced her: "You are a graduate of the Teachers College. You went to work in the front line of middle school education, but you took advantage of your relatives to let someone put you in the scientific research department of the teacher's college. This not only damaged our middle school education, but also endangered the scientific research work of the teacher's college. It’s also bad for growing up—”

She lowered her head and said nothing, thinking that I only thought you were chanting scriptures, but she had never heard monks chanting scriptures, neither male nor female, so she couldn't "just be".Not only did she listen to Aunt Qiao's words, but she didn't let go of Aunt Qiao's words and sentences. The "damage" and "harm" are really carefully used! You see, if you don't go to middle school, you won't bring harm to it Disasters are "damages" because they did not make contributions; while staying in the scientific research department not only did not make contributions, but also because they did not understand anything and messed around, that is "harm".

Aunt Qiao extended from this incident, criticized current affairs, worried about the country and the people, and talked for half an hour.She saw Zhuo Liang sitting there, listening very carefully, nodding from time to time, almost applauding, she felt a little unhappy: You are the one who caused me to stay in school, why does it seem to be my mistake now?Did you bring me here today to be your scapegoat? She was angry with Zhuoyou when she realized that Aunt Qiao had finished reading the scriptures, and a wooden fish used for chanting was thrown at her: "You should give up your job in the scientific research department and ask to go to the front line of middle school education. If you If you don't take the initiative, I will ask your teacher academy to investigate and deal with this matter. At that time, you will be passive and your relatives will be implicated—"

She was petrified, Lei Da panicked and pointed to the tree and said, "You'd better ask about this——Zhuo——" Now it's all right, a word will turn the tiger away from the mountain, and liberate her from Aunt Qiao's gunfire.In the following period, Aunt Qiao has been admonishing Zhuoyou: "Your father and I have always been honest and dedicated to public affairs. We never engage in such crooked ways, and never seek personal gain for ourselves or our children. You can go to any place in D City Go inquire and see if anyone can tell us half a word. How come you ruined our innocence? I know you never listen to me, always go your own way, mess with you That set of relationship studies, if you go on like this, sooner or later you will be ruined on it—"

Shi Yan regretted that she shouldn't have confessed to a comrade in the trenches. Originally, only one of them died, but now it's all right, both of them died in battle, and there is no one to write a memorial speech.She wanted to go up to cover him, but Aunt Qiao's gunfire was impenetrable, like a machine gun protruding from a bunker, and the bullets hit rocks and sparks, and she wanted to go up and block the hole with her chest He had no chance, so he could only watch Zhuo Liang die tragically. That day was spent in politics class and eating. She couldn't understand how Zhuo Liang and his mother could sit at the same table and eat like a family after confronting each other for so long. Anyway, she was very embarrassed, but Zhuo Zhuo and his mother are like the leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. They fight each other on the battlefield, and they are very friendly at the negotiating table. Even Aunt Jiang is like the International Red Cross. No matter which party you belong to, I only care about saving lives and healing the wounded. Aunt Jiang yelled: "The meal is ready, let's eat." The other two seemed to hear the bell for the end of get out of class. The lecturer stopped speaking, and the listener left the lecture hall. Both of them went straight to the bathroom, like two urgency elementary school students. The meal was not rich, but there were four dishes and one soup. Shi Yan ate very heavily, and always felt that this meal was exchanged for excellence.She felt sorry for him, and felt that he had suffered so much when no one was cooking, and came back every week to be trained just to have a delicious meal.She is determined to cook good meals for him every day from now on, so that he can eat well, so that he doesn't have to go back to his mother's house to be scolded. After taking a few bites, she realized that Aunt Jiang's food was not worth risking her life to eat every week. You have tears and snot coming out, and you have to eat rice, so you can swallow a bowl of rice without much food, but when it comes to the taste of the food, you don’t feel anything except spicy. She saw that Excellence was eating with great enthusiasm, it was so spicy, and she still remembered boasting "delicious and delicious" between the two "sizzling", which may have been trained by Aunt Jiang's devil's recipe.She remembered that she seldom puts spicy food in her cooking, but he never asked her to put chili in the dishes, so she remembered what he said, "If you cook, I will eat a little. If you don't cook, we will go to the cafeteria." , she realized that he was really just "following a little", and didn't dare to make any demands on her cooking skills.Her nose was sore, and she wished she could go to the vegetable market to buy peppers right away, and make him a "dinner" dish. She could see that her mother-in-law was still very close to the people. Aunt Jiang, the nanny, ate at the same table, and she didn't look timid.Even when serving the rice, it can be seen that Aunt Jiang is the nanny, because no matter who has finished eating, Aunt Jiang rushes to help serve the rice, and the person who is served the rice does not look disturbed. Just from a serving of rice, she could see that Aunt Jiang respected Aunt Qiao, but she loved Zhuo Liang. She couldn't tell from the details, but she had such a feeling anyway.A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in her mind: Is Zhuo Zhuo the son of Aunt Jiang?So Aunt Jiang loves him so much?She remembered the plot of which movie this seemed to be, but couldn't remember the name of the movie. Before leaving, Zhuo Zhuo was called into the study by his mother to tell him what to do. Aunt Jiang put two large lunch boxes into a plastic bag and handed them to Shi Yan, saying that they would take them back to eat.Aunt Jiang told her a lot of eating habits and hobbies of Zhuoyou, and asked her to cook more delicious food for him, saying that Zhuoyou suffered a lot when he was a child, and his foundation was not good. Now he should eat more to make up for it. . She didn't understand why Zhuo Liang had suffered a lot when she was a child, she had never heard of Zhuo Liang.Aunt Jiang said that it was because during the Cultural Revolution his parents were sent to the cadre school, and no one cared about him. He went to the acquaintances and friends of his parents to eat hundreds of meals, one meal, one meal, and one hungry meal It was very pitiful to have a full meal. It wasn't until Aunt Jiang came that Zhuozhuo had a meal. Aunt Jiang was in tears when she spoke, and Shi Yan was in tears when she heard it.When Zhuo Liang came out of the study, the noses and eyes of the two women were red.Aunt Jiang wiped the corners of her eyes and said: "Yue'er has a good heart. He always said that when his career is done, he will pick me up to live in the capital and hire someone to serve me—" Zhuo Zhuo heard it and said, "I keep my word, just wait and enjoy the blessing." After returning to her small home, Shi Yan apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have confessed to you, causing you to be reprimanded by your mother—" He didn't care: "I said it a long time ago, only when she is chanting. But don't be angry with her, she is such a person, dead-hearted, but not bad. She is a devout believer in communism, and she is also Those who are truly honest and honest, don’t engage in flattery and flattery, so they always fail to get promoted. Up to now, they are only the director of the education committee. Her unhealthy behavior made no one like her. If I hadn't helped her, she wouldn't even be able to keep this position—" When she heard what he said, she admired Aunt Qiao very much, and said sincerely: "I'm not angry with her. In fact, I admire her very much. She is consistent with her words and deeds, and her appearance is the same. If our national cadres are like her, That's good--" He said disdainfully: "But her method won't work anymore. She is an older generation of intellectuals and cadres. She is a gentleman in a narrow sense. She pays attention to cleanliness and self-discipline. She thinks that if she is not corrupt, she can stop others from being corrupt. She will end her life if she persists." It is impossible to rectify the party style, and it is impossible to eliminate corruption.” "Then who can rectify the party style and eliminate corruption?" "It must be someone like me--" She thought he was joking, so she also smiled and said, "A person like you? You take the lead in opening the back door, and you still correct the party style and eliminate corruption? Then you should also be eliminated?" "You don't understand. I am a gentleman in a broad sense. The important thing is not to be corrupt or not, but to have power, and then use the power in my hand to eliminate corruption—"
