Chapter 388 Ah Q's Spiritual Request for a Monthly Pass
When the water was boiling, Hua Banzhi sat down with a small stool, selected the water spinach I had just bought from the vegetable market, peeled more garlic cloves, a green onion, and cut some minced ginger.
Wash the water spinach and drain it in a bamboo basket. Everything is ready and the water boils. Cook the purchased dishes in batches.
Lin Xiyan, who came back from buying Xiaolong Soup Bun, looked at her cooking dishes, "I was just about to tell you to cook the dishes and then use them. I didn't expect you to have made them."
"I don't want to get sick from my mouth." Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled, looking at the bubbling iron pot, "Oh! Okay, take it out and replace it with another batch."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Lin Xiyan volunteered and reached out to grab the dishes.
"Be careful," Hua Banzhi reminded him, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw him grabbing his ears.
"Hiss..." Lin Xiyan gasped in a cold air, "So hot."
Hua Banzhi shook her head funny, reached out and quickly took out the iron pot dishes and replaced it with a new batch.
"Why are you not afraid of being hot?" Lin Xiyan looked at her hands and said.
"I'm not afraid of being hot, but you have fine skin and tender skin." Hua Banzhi pointed at her hands that were whiter than her.
"Uh..." Lin Xiyan was speechless for a moment, as if nothing was right, "You have worked hard all these years!"
"Thank you hard!" Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled, "But just carry it over. Maybe it's my capital to work hard?"
"Capital?" Lin Xiyan blinked his eyes and looked at her in confusion.
"The body is the capital of revolution!" Hua Banzhi looked at him and chuckled, "Otherwise, she would have the good body she is now!"
Lin Xiyan looked at her with a look of surprise when she heard this, and then smiled, "You really want to be on the better side."
"What else should I do? Without a little Ah Q's spirit, I can't live anymore." Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled.
"Mom, when will it start to have dinner?" Zhou Guangming stood at the kitchen door and looked at her and said.
"I'll fry some water spinach and let's have a meal right away." Hua Banzhi said, and took out the last dishes and chopsticks in the iron pot, spooned them, poured the hot water with a cloth, washed the iron pot, and put them on the fire again.
"Glowing out quickly, the kitchen is hot." Hua Banzhi waved her hand and asked Zhou Guangming to leave.
"Then I'll go to the living room to wait." Zhou Guangming said as he looked at them. After saying that, he turned around and sat in the living room, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and read it.

"I'll cook, I'll do it." Lin Xiyan said, washing his hands.
"Okay then!" Hua Banzhi moved her position away.
Lin Xiyan watched the iron pan for cooking be dried, and he held the oil bottle and poured the oil into it.
"Enough, enough." Hua Banzhi quickly said, "There is too much oil pouring."
"If you stir-fry vegetables, you can add less oil, just like boiled in water, and it is not delicious." Lin Xiyan said with a serene expression.
"I'm afraid our family can't afford the amount of oil you eat." Hua Banzhi shook her head slightly and said, "It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality!"
"The captain's salary is high, so he can definitely afford it." Lin Xiyan saw that the oil was hot, "It's sting..." and put the onion, ginger and garlic into the oil pan and stir-fry.
We can afford it, but the country cannot afford it, and we can't buy it even if we have money. Just two taels of oil a month, just the amount of oil Lin Xiyan poured just now is enough for them to eat for a year.
Hua Banzhi opened her mouth, and the words rolled on the tip of her tongue, and swallowed them back. When the wolf came, she would naturally tighten her clothes and eat in the face of reality.
Soon the fragrance of green onion and garlic scent floated in the kitchen. The drained water spinach was put into the stir-frying pan, and a little salt was added. Lin Xiyan quickly stir-fryed with the iron pot.
Hua Banzhi looked at him in an orderly manner and seemed to be able to cook and he was really good at cooking.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiyan turned around and looked at her and looked at her in a daze.
"You can cook." Hua Banzhi looked at him and said with a smile.
"Of course, I can not only make Chinese food, but also Western food." Lin Xiyan looked at her with gentle eyes and said gently, "Make it for you another day, but I'm afraid you won't be used to it. British food is famous for being unpalatable."
"Then you'd better stop doing it." Hua Banzhi waved her hands and said with a look of gratitude.
"We can try the difference between Western food and us, and we won't eat it every day." Lin Xiyan turned around and stir-fryed the water spinach.
Hua Banzhi looked at him with high interest and couldn't bear the blow, but some words had to be said, "What I want to say is inappropriate."
Lin Xiyan's body stiffened, paused the spatula in his hand, closed his eyes, and said lightly, "Chinese food is good, Western food is not delicious at all."
"I don't want to say some things, but I must say them. I hope you don't get angry." Hua Banzhi said as she looked at his stiff back.
"How could it be? Thank you for your reminder." Lin Xiyan said tactfully, "I will not mention everything I have abroad, whether at home or outside."
"I know this is part of your life experience, and it is painful to peel it off." A hint of heartache flashed in Hua Banzhi's eyes, "But you must do it, disaster comes from your mouth, I don't want you to be guilty for your words."
Lin Xiyan took a few deep breaths, took the cooking pan, turned around and looked at her, "In fact, it's not that easy abroad. Every day I study and study, I feel that I don't have enough time. And because of skin color..." he waved his hand and said, "Forget it." He looked at her with shiny black eyes and said, "I understand what you mean, I will do it." He must also do it.
"Sorry!" Hua Banzhi pursed her lips, and her deep eyes looked at him like an ancient well.
"Why are you sorry for holding me? This has nothing to do with you, on the contrary, it is me..."
Before Lin Xiyan finished speaking, Hua Banzhi interrupted, "I don't want to hear you say such things in the future. This is my choice and has nothing to do with you." He looked at him with a cold look and said, "I know what my choice will face? Even if this environment is difficult and people's hearts are unpredictable, how should I live this life?"
"Actually, I'm easy to say anything by myself, but you and Guangming are innocent." Lin Xiyan looked at her quietly and said.
"Although I was forced to enter the game, I was in the game after all." Hua Banzhi looked at him with a deep look, "There is no innocent. Although I have grabbed a bad hand in my hand, I want to play it with all my heart." Although I have known life and its direction in advance, I am fearless and will cherish every minute.
"There is no perfect life, it just depends on how you choose to overcome these obstacles." Lin Xiyan looked at her and said with a gentle smile, "The worse you get, the more you need to fight."
"Yes! Anyway, the worst thing is to go back to work in my old business, so I'm even less afraid!" Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled.
"Old job?" Lin Xiyan didn't remember what she was referring to?
