When I came out of the computer room, the sun was already setting outside.
Xiao He and the others are very responsible.
Even Zhou Jimin, the inventor of the computer, still had to be searched before he was allowed to leave the computer room.
You know, it's summer now, and the clothes I wear are very thin, short-sleeved and thin trousers. Where can I hide my computer?
Zhou Jimin didn’t embarrass Xiao He and the others, and the process was whatever it was supposed to be.
After they finished the inspection, Xiao He and Qin Erniu were still apologetically saying sorry. Zhou Jimin interrupted them rudely, saying that he appreciated their serious and responsible attitude.
"A great scientist from Zhou Dynasty is so low-key and frugal that he came here on a bicycle."
Qin Erniu couldn't help but sigh as he watched Zhou Jimin step onto the 28th pole and leave gracefully.
Xiao He curled his lips and said nothing.
The last time he came here, Zhou Jimin came in a car with a security guard behind him.
He is a great scientist, how could he really just ride a bicycle?
When he arrived at the door of his home, Zhou Jimin saw Meng Zhenhua.
The latter also saw him and rushed over from a distance, waving and shouting loudly.
"Brother Zhou, you are finally back. Your old house is about to be occupied."
What the hell?
The old house was occupied again?
Zhou Jimin, who stopped the car, was slightly surprised, but on the surface he smiled lightly and said to Meng Zhenhua:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go in first and talk about it at home."
Meng Zhenhua was a little impatient, but when he saw that Zhou Jimin was already pushing the 28-meter pole toward the inside, he had no choice but to follow.
Zhou Qingxian and the others, who were playing with the neighbor's children at the door, called Daddy and continued playing with themselves.
As children grow up, their clinginess index will decrease.
Of course, if Zhou Jimin were on a business trip for ten and a half days, they would definitely be stuck in the lake again.
Even the little kid Zhou Bingliang plays with his brothers and sisters and doesn't like Nianhu's father very much.
Zhou Bingliang, who is almost two years old, will definitely not be able to outrun his brothers and sisters when it comes to running, but he can walk really fast.
Fortunately, he is accompanied by his brothers and sisters, but it is not like Zhou Qingxian and others who really wanted to tear down the family.
There are also many little kids in the neighborhood.
There are seven or eight children of the same age as Zhou Qingxian and the others.
Therefore, usually, a bunch of little kids play around in front of the house.
There are quite a few children aged three, four, five and six years old.
At this age, they haven’t even gone to school yet, so they especially like to play with their peers.
In addition to the games that Zhou Jimin is familiar with, such as eagle catching chicks, hide-and-seek, and rope skipping, there are also many games that he has never heard of.
Of course, Zhou Jimin still believes that his childhood was the happiest.
The chessboards alone include chess, glass chess, backgammon, military chess, Go, Reversi, etc., as well as poker, mahjong, glass beads, folded paper stacks, stones, etc.
And the cowherd boy's favorite summer is to steal other people's watermelons, lychees, cantaloupes, etc., and then run into the half-meter-deep clear stream to eat, drink and play while swimming.
The most interesting thing is to take a candle and a rope and explore into a cave where you can't even see your fingers. It's a thrill.
This is a carefree childhood.
However, in addition to these joys, Zhou Jimin's childhood in his memory also had bad moments.
For example, when you are grazing cattle, you lose sight of them, and then you search all over the mountains and fields, but you can’t find them.
Sometimes it takes half a day to find it, and the worst part is when I look for it for three or four days, thinking that the cow has gone to the other side of several mountains.
Who knows, it is actually hiding somewhere in a small col where young grass grows wildly, eating grass freely.
Or he would lead the cow to the field ridge to eat the young grass on the field ridge, and accidentally let the cow eat other people's crops. When someone found out, he would yell.
Also, when I went to swim in a river dozens of meters deep, my parents discovered me and chased me with a bamboo stick as thick as an adult’s finger, with a soft yet hard texture.
With childhoods like those of Zhou Qingxian and others, Zhou Jimin felt that his era was a rich and colorful childhood.
In the yard, Zhou Jimin parked his bicycle, took out two bottles of Arctic soda from the refrigerator, handed one to Meng Zhenhua behind him, and said with a smile:
"Take a sip of soda first and speak slowly."
Zhou Jimin doesn’t believe that this old house has been occupied.
It's probably the neighbors in the courtyard who are causing trouble again.
Meng Zhenhua took a sip of cold and delicious soda, exhaled a sigh of relief, and then said:
"It's like this, Brother Zhou, didn't Yan Jiecheng from Uncle Yan's family get married some time ago? He married a daughter-in-law named Yu Li."
"Uncle Yan's house originally only had two rooms, but with so many children, there were not enough rooms."
"I've been staring at your house, Brother Zhou."
"I'm taking a rest today. I happened to be resting at home. I don't know what happened, but I saw Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng coming back from outside talking and laughing."
"The two of them didn't go back to Uncle Yan's house and went straight to the backyard."
"I followed up and took a look, and then I realized that they had entered your house."
Well, what Meng Zhenhua is talking about is the house that Zhou Jimin bought from Xu Damao's father.
In the layout of the backyard, the north room is the deaf old lady’s house, the east wing is Liu Haizhong’s house, and the west wing is Xu Damao’s house.
The entire backyard, as well as the two wing rooms on the left and right sides of the north room, are all houses where supporting characters live, so I won’t mention them.
Nowadays, in the courtyard house, the only vacant houses are the west wing in the backyard and the wing in the middle courtyard. Unfortunately, these four houses all belong to Zhou Jimin's family.
And the most important thing is that these four rooms are all private houses.
The two wing rooms in the middle courtyard left by Lao Zhou were originally the houses allocated by the steel rolling mill.
However, Lao Zhou felt that the house owned by his work unit could not be regarded as his real house, so he later saved up money to buy it.
After 1959, houses can no longer be traded, which actually means that public houses can no longer be traded.
But private houses can actually be traded.
However, affected by this, the house transaction market actually slumped.
Firstly, everyone had no money, and secondly, at that time, the largest number of houses in the capital were public houses, but these could no longer be traded and had to be allocated by the public.
This further intensifies the shrinkage of the entire market until the trading volume is almost non-existent.
Newlyweds like Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are actually the current common situation in Beijing. They can only squeeze into a small room with their parents and live an uncomfortable life.
"Really? How do they have the key to my house?"
When Zhou Jimin heard this, he frowned and asked.
Over at the courtyard, whenever he has time, he will go there every now and then.
It's just that I haven't been walking so diligently recently.
Unexpectedly, someone took it as an opportunity and actually occupied the house.
Of course, Zhou Jimin didn't think that Yan Jiecheng was so courageous that he dared to imitate the previous Jia Zhang family and Bang Gang, and really completely occupied his family.
After all, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li are not fools, and they must still remember the fate of Jia Zhang.
Before, Jia Zhang pretended to be crazy, but after being stimulated by Zhou Jimin, she became really crazy.
However, mental illness is really hard to describe.
Even if you are very crazy at certain times, afterward, without the stimulus, mental illness can slowly get better as time goes by.
In his previous life, in the countryside where Zhou Jimin lived, the neighbor woman in the village was a psychopath.
My son had a fever and was not treated in time. He became a fool due to the fever and was completely unable to take care of himself.
But her husband is still a gambler, a very enthusiastic gambler.
In the 1990s, during that period, the spring breeze of reform spread across the country, and business and investment on the small island surged.
But what spread to the small village was just gambling.
Yes, gambling is very popular on the island. Not to mention young people aged 17 or 18, even young people in their 30s and 40s are addicted to it.
It is precisely because of these that a family's tragedy occurred.
The husband is a gambler, the son is a fool who cannot take care of himself, and he has become mentally ill. The only daughter is normal, but she is only five or six years old. What can she do?
Fortunately, a few years later, maybe because she no longer had money to gamble, her husband gradually restrained himself, and her mental illness gradually improved.
It was not until ten years later that the mentally ill woman in her forties gave birth to a son.
At this time, her daughter is about to get married.
Therefore, Mr. Jia Zhang was released from prison and returned to the courtyard without causing any commotion. It was obvious that she was not really crazy, but had recovered from her mental illness.
Jia and Zhang did not dare to provoke Zhou Jimin anymore, so did Yan Jiecheng dare to do so?
From 1958 to now, Yan Jiecheng and Zhou Jimin have taken the electrician certificate exam together.
But Yan Jiecheng is still doing some hard work in exchange for money for daily expenses, but what about Zhou Jimin?
Not to mention the old news that he had achieved an annual income of several thousand in 1959, let’s just say that Zhou Jimin went to Peking University and graduated directly as a teacher a year later.
Every time more subsequent news reaches Nanluogu Lane, the three uncles, Qin Huairu and other neighbors are stunned.
Under such circumstances, Yan Jiecheng simply didn't have the guts to provoke Zhou Jimin.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Meng Zhenhua hurriedly raised his hand and swore, saying that he had seen it with his own eyes and that it was definitely not wrong.
"It's not that I don't believe you, but this is a bit weird."
As soon as Zhou Jimin finished speaking, he saw Meng Zhenhua with a puzzled face and immediately laughed.
"I understand, okay, let's go and take a look."
After receiving his nod, Meng Zhenhua smiled happily.
Although he has gone to work, he is still the same as he was a few years ago and respects Zhou Jimin very much.
The two were about to go out when they met Ding Qiunan and Zhang Wantong who had just returned home from get off work.
Recently, they both commute to and from get off work together. They are like sisters and they get along very well.
"Jimin, are you going out?"
"Well, I'll go back to the old house and I'll be back soon."
They were an old married couple. After nodding and saying hello, Zhou Jimin and Meng Zhenhua went out.
Zhang Wantong looked at the backs of the two of them and suddenly said:
"Nannan, didn't Jimin say that he would soak tiger bone wine for two days? Why is there still no movement yet?"
"How do I know?"
Ding Qiunan has no control over Zhou Jimin's affairs, especially outside matters.
It's not that she doesn't want to take care of it, it's that she can't take care of it at all.
Not to mention tiger bone wine, she didn’t know how to make it at all, but she just talked about those math books that looked like ghostly drawings, scientific research projects that needed to be kept secret like the Book of Heaven, and catching spies.
Which one is beyond Ding Qiunan's ability?
How to manage?
Zhang Wantong smiled when he heard this and said nothing more.
She is only interested in traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation, and she cannot do anything to sow discord.
What's more, she still lives in the Zhou family, and she also wants to study the secret of how Ding Qiunan maintains herself like an eighteen-year-old girl.
In the Nanluogu Lane courtyard, after Zhou Jimin and Meng Zhenhua came over, they met Aunt Yan and Yu Li who were washing and cutting vegetables in front of their house in the front yard.
"Hey, isn't this Jimin? Are you back again?"
Why is this so weird?
Zhou Jimin glanced at Aunt Yan with a frown, then looked away expressionlessly, not bothering to pay attention at all.
Since he moved away from Nanluogu Lane, even if he returns to his old house every time, he will never look down upon these neighbors.
Welcoming people and sending them there also depends on the person.
When I lived here in Nanluogu Lane before, these neighbors were disgusting enough.
Therefore, now that out of sight is out of mind, even if he comes back occasionally, he doesn't need to greet you with a smile.
Because it's not necessary and he doesn't want to do it.
Looking at Zhou Jimin and Meng Zhenhua disappearing through the gate of the middle courtyard, Aunt Yan hummed softly and said:
"Tch, who are you showing off to? After moving out, you still can't bear to part with the old house here, and you don't even know how to lend it to our family. You're really stingy."
After hearing this, Yu Li next to her said, "Mom, you said that Zhou Jimin is so rich, can you ask him to sell us the house in the backyard from him at a low price?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yan sneered and said, "Don't even think about it. Zhou Jimin has five brothers and sisters. These houses must be reserved for his younger brothers and sisters."
"Selling it to us at a low price? If you really want to sell it, they won't sell it at a low price."
"Didn't you see the dead look on Zhou Jimin's face just now? He didn't even bother to say hello to me. He was such an impolite white-eyed wolf."
After hearing this, Yu Li was immediately disappointed.
She is already married, so naturally she only thinks about her own family, not about running around.
But now it seems that she just jumped from the cage at home to another cage.
Thinking of the cramped and cramped room of the Yan family, with only a curtain separating the brother-in-law and sister-in-law, even if I wanted to do something, I couldn't do it.
I couldn't help but feel bitter in my heart. When will this end?
At this time, Zhou Jimin had arrived at the west wing of the backyard.
I opened the door with the key and everything in the house was as usual.
He ignored Meng Zhenhua who was trying to defend himself, but observed carefully.
Yan Jiecheng must have gotten the key to the west wing from somewhere and pulled Yu Li into the room to make out.
Because after entering, everything in the room was as usual, but there was an unusual smell left.
As someone who has experienced it, Zhou Jimin knows exactly what it smells like.
When a man and a woman enter a room, what else can they do?
After searching around, Zhou Jimin found no evidence, but he felt quite uncomfortable.
This house has actually become a tryst place for others.
"Ah Hua, thank you for today, let's go."
Since nothing was found, the cautious Yan Jiefang and Yu Li cleaned the battlefield very clean. Except for the residual smell, everything else was normal.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin could only call Meng Zhenhua out quietly.
He did not change the door lock, but planned to catch a turtle in a jar next time.
Needless to say, the fact that Meng Zhenhua came to see him today was probably discovered by others in the courtyard.
Otherwise, Yan Jiefang and Yu Li would not have left the west wing of the backyard so quickly.
"But, Brother Zhou, I clearly saw them really entering here."
Meng Zhenhua still couldn't believe it and tried his best to defend himself.
But he was interrupted by Zhou Jimin, who approached Meng Zhenhua in a low voice and said, "I believe you must have seen it, but you have also been discovered, so someone must have tipped off the news, otherwise we will be in trouble."
"But it doesn't matter. Since they like my house so much, let's catch mice next time."
As soon as he heard this, Meng Zhenhua suddenly became happy and wanted to speak loudly, but when he saw Zhou Jimin raising his index finger to his mouth, he quickly suppressed his voice.
"Okay, Brother Zhou, I will definitely pay attention next time."
"Okay, let's go to my house for dinner."
"No, Brother Zhou, I must have cooked food at home. How about you stay at my house for dinner?"
"Haha, when I hear your tone, I know that your family must not have cooked well."
Zhou Jimin burst out laughing, Meng Zhenhua lowered his head in embarrassment and said nothing more.
Back in the middle courtyard, Zhou Jimin opened two more old houses and looked at them carefully.
I didn't find anything wrong either.
However, since no one lives here, it is not a long-term solution.
Thinking of this, he came up with Zhou Shuqing's idea.
The only one in the family who has reached marriageable age is Zhou Shuqing, well, Huang Xiaohua is also considered half.
But Huang Xiaohua cannot always live here in Nanluogu Lane. After all, she still has to help at home.
Therefore, after much deliberation, only Zhou Shuqing, the second sister, is the most suitable.
She is married. No matter what the situation is in her husband's family, it is just right for her and her future brother-in-law to live here in Nanluogu Lane.
As a young person, who doesn’t want to have their own little world?
Of course, in retrospect, Zhou Jimin hopes that his second son will marry a good brother-in-law rather than just marry someone casually.
If he, the eldest brother, pushes too hard and lets the second eldest brother find someone to marry, causing the younger sister's married life to be unhappy, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Anyway, it’s the summer of 1963, so it’s still early, so take your time.
After leaving the central courtyard, Zhou Jimin went to the Meng family in the front yard to sit for a while, took a sip of water, and then returned home.
On the opposite side of the Yan family, Yan Jiecheng has been keeping an eye on Zhou Jimin's movements.
He also asked his sister Yan Jiefang to check on him from time to time, which puzzled his second brother Yan Jiefang.
However, Yan Jiecheng has nothing to explain.
He just wanted to know if Zhou Jimin had discovered anything. Logically speaking, he and Yu Li had cleaned up, and there must have been no traces left at the scene.
But Zhou Jimin is so amazing that Yan Jiecheng is not sure.
If the other party really discovers something, it will be too difficult for him and Yu Li to find such a good place for a tryst in the future.
The west wing in the backyard is really a nice house.
But it's such a pity that it's not his house, so I can only look forward to it and sigh.
Soon, he received the news that Zhou Jimin had left the Meng family.
This made Yan Jiecheng completely relieved.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes happened to meet Yu Li's. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.
Although the two younger ones, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi, knew that something was wrong with their elder brother and sister-in-law, they didn't say anything and the elder sister-in-law was expressionless, so the two younger ones didn't dare to ask.
In Nanjianzi Alley, after Zhou Jimin returned home, it was getting dark.
But here at the door of the house, a few little ones are still playing and don’t want to go home.
Listening to the chirping laughter, Zhou Jimin smiled softly, then took out a thin bamboo stick from the space and quietly came behind Zhou Qingxian.
The little kids who were playing all stopped.
Because it was dark, Zhou Jimin's face couldn't be seen clearly from a distance, but when he got closer, he could see the bamboo stick clearly.
So, after a short period of calm, the little kids immediately screamed and ran away with a bang.
"Sister, dad is coming to beat us with a stick, run away."
Zhou Qingyi on the side saw clearly that it was her father, and also saw the bamboo stick in her father's hand.
While running around, she didn't forget to remind her sister.
Zhou Qingxian looked back and was also startled. However, she did not run away. Instead, she opened her arms in surprise and hugged her father.
"Dad, you are back. Mom told us to wait for you at the door. Let's go home."
Zhou Jimin, who originally wanted to catch the little guy, was hugged by Zhou Qingxian, and his little thoughts disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Picking her up, Zhou Jimin smiled and chased in the direction of Zhou Qingyi and Xiao Bu Dian.
"Where else do you want to run? Why don't you go home and have dinner?"
A few minutes later, Zhou Jimin walked into the house with three little guys hanging on his body.
At this time, the sky has completely darkened, and stars have begun to decorate the night sky, shining little bits of starlight to illuminate passers-by.
"Come down quickly and wash your hands."
When they arrived at the courtyard, Zhou Jimin asked the little kids to come down.
However, when Zhou Bingliang saw it, he flattened his mouth, opened his little hands, and wanted to hug me.
Big brothers and big sisters give me hugs, and I can’t live without them!
Zhou Jimin has no choice but to hug his cubs.
Huang Xiaohua came out of the kitchen, still holding dishes in her hands, and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhou, let's have dinner."
In the living room, dinner officially begins.
We were a little late for dinner tonight. At the dinner table, Zhang Wantong talked about tiger bone wine.
"Sister Wantong, don't worry, the tiger bones won't go bad if you put them in the ice cellar. I also told the leader that day that we can't soak them if we don't have the ingredients, so we'll have to wait."
"Are there a lot of materials missing?" Zhang Wantong asked curiously. Zhou Jimin nodded and smiled:
"Several kinds of medicinal materials are not affordable for ordinary people. Even if I have a high salary, I still can't afford them."
Seeing this, Zhang Wantong stopped asking further questions.
She didn't know that Zhou Jimin was trying to make money, but he was also raising the bar, not wanting tiger bone wine to become a street product.
If it weren't for the fear of publicity, he would have gone abroad to buy some antiques.
Gathering wool from the mainland is not as good as harvesting wool from abroad.
For example, the museum in Taiguan Province has a lot of good things.
There are also places such as Chou Country and Western Europe, which have many valuable domestic antiques.
These places can definitely provide a lot of energy to the space.
It's a pity that Zhou Jimin can't go to those places now, maybe after the 1970s, or after they are reopened.
Ding Qiunan took some pieces of meat to Xiaoxian and the others, and casually mentioned why they were going to the old house in the evening.
Zhou Jimin didn't tell the truth. He only said that Meng Zhenhua had something to do with him. It was a trivial matter and there was nothing to say.
The topic ended here, and Zhou Shuqing talked about the food in the cafeteria today.
There are still problems, but they are not as bad as the previous two days.
"Didn't you bring food? Why did you go to the cafeteria to eat?"
This morning, before Zhou Shuqing went to work, Huang Xiaohua had already prepared meals for her to take to work.
The food is only left for a few hours, and it’s summer, so it won’t taste bad if it gets cold.
The lunch boxes of this era are very solid aluminum lunch boxes. Red Star Company doesn’t want too many of these.
"I didn't go to the cafeteria to get food. I heard from Shen Cuifang and others. They said the steamed buns at noon had gone bad. It was the workers' representatives who argued so much that we got free mung bean soup. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any."<
/p>
"Dad, can we have mung bean soup tomorrow too?"
It was obvious that Zhou Qingyi was greedy again, and the little boy and his brother were staring directly at their father.
Even the little goldfish couldn't help but lick her lips. It was probably because it was too hot during the day, and her second sister's words at night brought out her greedy self.
"Okay, we'll make mung bean soup tomorrow, but you can't eat too much to avoid diarrhea."
"Okay daddy."
The four little guys responded in unison, and their childish and neat voices made everyone couldn't help laughing.
However, they should be very loud now, but by tomorrow, they may all want to drink to their fullness and eat it directly.
Suddenly, not long after breakfast, Zhou Jimin didn't say anything and didn't take the initiative to mention mung bean soup.
But the little ones never forgot about it. They had just been reading in the living room for less than twenty minutes when they suddenly mentioned the mung bean soup.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading. Install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
In the living room at this moment, not only are they little guys, Little Goldfish, Pandi and Laidi, but also Little Cauliflower, Meng Zitong, Xing Anyao and other little kids are also here.
Therefore, Zhou Qingyi suddenly mentioned this matter, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Looking at these pairs of eyes eager for food, Zhou Jimin pretended to be sad and said:
"Xiaoyi, dad went to the supply and marketing cooperative this morning. The mung beans have been sold out. Can we drink them tomorrow?"
Huh?
Many little kids were immediately dumbfounded and very disappointed.
In my impression, my father is omnipotent. When has there been such delicacies in our family?
You can buy emerald green fruits and vegetables in winter, but in this hot summer, you can’t buy mung beans?
Isn’t this funny?
The little goldfish's big eyes turned wildly, and he suddenly said, "Brother, if we don't drink mung bean soup, can we drink sour plum soup?"
Hey, iced sour plum soup is also available. I have a lot of it in the refrigerator at home.
So, the little ones ran out in unison without waiting for Zhou Jimin to respond.
The refrigerator is over there in the kitchen. They still remember that there is a lot of sour plum juice in the refrigerator, so if you are quick, you will have it.
Among the ten little kids, the slowest one is Zhou Bingliang, because he is the smallest, has the shortest legs and the slowest speed.
After being frightened by his brothers and sisters, saying that he was running too slow and had no sour plum soup to drink, Zhou Bingliang became anxious and ran. Everyone almost rushed into the kitchen, but he was the only one still chasing after him in the corridor.
Thinking that the sour plum soup was about to be finished by all his brothers and sisters, the little guy gasped and started crying.
Zhou Jimin, who was following behind and walking slowly, saw the little guy standing there crying sadly, so he didn't step forward to comfort him.
On the side, Huang Xiaohua, who was weeding the vegetable field in the courtyard, smiled and said, Xiaoliang, there is still a lot of sour plum soup. Your father lied to you. Go to the kitchen and drink it.
However, the little guy didn't seem to hear it, and still cried aggrievedly.
After a while, his father came over, squatted in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Hey, who does such a cute child belong to? Why are you still crying? Do you want to drink iced sour plum soup? Go to the kitchen and get it, or ask your eldest brother or sister to leave a cup for you."
"Dad, I can't run anymore." The little guy was crying. He was weak, pitiful, and helpless. He just wanted to act like a baby and ask his father to help.
"What's wrong? Is your leg injured? If it's not injured, then run. It's only a short distance and you didn't run much this morning. Come on, start running."
Under his father's coaxing, Zhou Bingliang had no choice but to stretch out his legs and walk to the kitchen at the speed of running and walking.
At this time, in the kitchen, Little Goldfish and the others were already standing in front of the fan, drinking with relish.
"Brother, I want to drink too, I want to drink too, can you pour it for me?"
"Then go get the cup and I'll pour it for you."
The little one is very much like a big brother and is also very willing to help his younger brother.
I have always been doted on and bullied by my two older sisters. Finally, I have a younger brother named Zhou Bingliang. I am sure I will pamper him.
This feeling of satisfaction from being needed is far stronger than the feeling of being pampered.
Zhou Jimin looked at the two brothers with joy and said nothing.
Zhou Qingxian next to her helped get a cup because her brother couldn't reach it.
After a while, the little guy finally drank the cold sour plum soup and imitated his sister-in-law. After drinking it, he burped and exhaled comfortably, imitating it in a decent way.
It’s this little grown-up look that makes people laugh.
"Okay, break time is almost here, go back to class."
After almost resting, Zhou Jimin rushed them back to the living room to study.
Don't let children get too wild. After letting them go wild, adults will probably be even more tired.
They can go out and play by themselves in the afternoon, but they still have to study in the morning.
Especially the little goldfish, she still has to recite the contents of traditional Chinese medicine textbooks.
Although Little Goldfish and the others were not willing to go back to the living room, Zhou Jimin was watching from the side and it would be impossible not to go back.
When passing by the corridor, the little goldfish suddenly asked Huang Xiaohua in the vegetable field:
"Sister Xiaohua, are there any mung beans at home?"
The latter didn't know about Zhou Jimin's lie just now, so he naturally answered all questions, "Yes, aren't there mung beans in the vegetable cellar? By the way, Xiaoyi said she wanted to drink mung bean soup last night, right? I'll wait a moment
Just go soak the mung beans."
Ga!
The little goldfish immediately looked at her big brother angrily, and the other little guys also looked deceived, "Dad, you lied, you are not a good boy."
Seeing Zhou Jimin being attacked by many children, Huang Xiaohua realized that she had done bad things with good intentions.
Then she stopped caring about weeding and hurriedly left to soak the mung beans.
"Okay, let's go to class first, then you'll finish drinking sour plum soup, and then drink mung bean soup in the afternoon."
After they had finished talking, Zhou Jimin kept a straight face and showed off his teacher's aura.
Amid the commotion, the whole morning passed like this.
The little kid under five years old is practicing writing with a pen, the nine-year-old little goldfish is reciting a thick textbook on medicinal materials, and the remaining Meng Zitong and the others are reviewing the knowledge they learned last semester.
After lunch, at the urging of Little Goldfish and the others, Zhou Jimin personally made mung bean soup for them.
The soaked mung beans look very beautiful.
Since there is no pressure cooker, I can only rely on an ordinary large pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, and simmer for half an hour. When the mung beans are almost dispersed, turn to low heat and continue cooking.
Next is the time to add sugar. Zhou Jimin added sugar cane brown sugar and the original honey in the space to add a bit of fragrance.
Honey also has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, moisturizing and relieving pain. However, like mung beans, it is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach to drink too much.
This is the reason why Zhou Jimin doesn't let little goldfish and other little brats drink too much.
After all, for children, the resistance of various organs in the body is naturally not as good as that of adults.
Of course, some adults, although they look strong, actually cannot drink more mung bean soup.
"Two bowls per person, no more, be careful of diarrhea."
It's around two o'clock in the afternoon, which is the time when the temperature is the highest of the day.
There is a scorching sun above our heads, and there is not a single white cloud in the blue sky. They must have all been evaporated by the high temperature of the sun.
"Dad, why do I get diarrhea if I drink too much mung bean soup?"
Zhou Qingyi took the mung bean soup from her father and asked curiously.
She thought her father would answer her question, but who knew, her father looked at her sister-in-law and said with a smile:
"Little Goldfish, you are also studying Chinese medicine now. Come on, explain to your niece why this is?"
The little goldfish rolled her eyes. Recently, her elder brother likes to test her on any knowledge related to pharmacology, medicinal diet, etc.
That is to say, she is reciting these medicinal materials books and has memorized them in her mind, so she acts as a walking tool for medicinal materials books.
"The record about mung beans in "Compendium of Materia Medica" is: it can thicken the intestines and stomach, serve as a pillow, improve eyesight, cure headaches due to head wind, eliminate vomiting, cure acne, and relieve swelling."
"One of the taboos for eating mung beans is that mung beans are cold in nature, those with yang deficiency in the body, cold spleen and stomach, and diarrhea should eat with caution."
"Children should not drink large amounts of mung bean soup and sour plum soup. Mung beans are cold medicinal foods. The cold nature of mung beans can easily lead to strong deficiency fire, leading to erosion of the corners of the mouth, swollen and painful gums, etc."
"To avoid eating mung beans that are too cold, you must cook the mung beans for a long time. The gastric mucosa structure of children is weak. Drinking too much sour plum soup will irritate the gastric mucosa and easily cause gastric and duodenal ulcers."

As the little goldfish recited, Zhou Qingxian and other little kids all put down their bowls, their faces turned pale.
Because what the little goldfish said was too scary, too scary.
What kind of weak gastric mucosal structure, what kind of duodenal ulcer, what the hell is this?
It’s because I don’t understand this that I’m scared.
Seeing the reaction of the little ones, Zhou Jimin was secretly happy. It seems that letting the little goldfish learn Chinese medicine has a very good effect. At least it can act as a deterrent at critical times.
When the little goldfish learns acupuncture, hey, all he needs to do is take out the silver needle, and he will probably scare these little brats.
"Don't be afraid. Your sister-in-law said that as long as the mung beans are boiled, the mung beans will not be so cold. So, you can also drink mung bean soup, but you can only drink two bowls, not more.
,did you hear that?”
"I heard it!"
Zhou Qingxian and the others all responded together, asking them to be as serious as possible.
However, the confused Zhou Bingliang didn’t understand it very well.
Just now when his sister-in-law was reciting, he kept drinking, and now he has finished a bowl.
The little belly is not full yet because his bowl is very small.
He stared straight at the mung bean soup in the big pot and licked his lips, because the mung bean soup was very sweet and delicious.
Naturally, the little guy's behavior could not escape Zhou Jimin's observation, especially since no one wanted to drink, but Zhou Bingliang drank with gusto, how could he not see it?
However, Zhou Jimin didn’t say that it was just two bowls anyway, and I wouldn’t give any more.
It's just that a guest suddenly came to the door, and Zhou Jimin couldn't take care of it even if he wanted to.
If they don't bark at Wangcai, they must be acquaintances.
Sure enough, after a while, Lei Yuankai and Fu Yujie walked into the yard together.
"Hey, are you drinking mung bean soup? Give me a whole bowl, isn't it too much?"
The latter sentence was said by Lei Yuankai to Zhou Jimin. The latter shook his head. It’s just a bowl of mung bean soup. What’s not too much?
When two people drink mung bean soup, it is no different from drinking water.
After a few gurgles, I quickly finished three or four bowls. At this speed, Huang Xiaohua couldn't even fill the soup that fast.
If they hadn't taken care of the children next to them, they would probably just drink from the big pot.
A group of little kids looked on dumbfounded, even the two girls Xing Anyao and Xiao Huicai, who were accustomed to the way soldiers eat, were dumbfounded.
Obviously, the eating looks of Lei Yuankai and Fu Yujie shocked these children.
Zhou Jimin was speechless. These two things are really good at making them.
Zhou Bingliang, who was about to drink the third bowl, saw that the cauldron had reached the bottom. His mouth flattened and he wanted to cry.
"Xiao Liang, do you still want to drink? You have already drank two bowls. You can't drink any more. Your sister-in-law just said that children will have diarrhea if they drink too much."
When Huang Xiaohua saw this, she quickly smiled and coaxed, "Hey, give me the small bowl and I'll help you wipe your mouth."
But at this moment, Zhou Jimin suddenly said:
"Xiaohua, go and cook a pot of mung bean soup and let them drink enough. When they have diarrhea, I will see how they sleep in the toilet tonight."
Ga!
The little guy, who had not had time to be happy, immediately stopped crying and looked at his father with resentment.
"Dad, are we really your biological children?"
Not only Zhou Bingliang, but also the younger siblings Zhou Qingyi and Zhou Qingxian also looked at their father with resentment.
Then you heard her?
?’s father said expressionlessly:
"I've told you before, I picked you all up from the trash can."
"That's not true. My younger brother was born over there in Xiaoquayuan, so we must also have been born there. Huh, Dad, you're lying."
Zhou Qingyi retorted loudly.
"Okay, put the bowl down quickly and go play."
Too lazy to argue with the little kid about these childish topics, after Zhou Jimin finished speaking, he led Lei Yuankai and the others into the study.
As soon as they entered, the two of them were hit by the cold air and groaned in comfort.
I’m still sighing with emotion, it’s just that it’s warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s so comfortable to live in a place like this.
Although there is no air conditioning in the room, there are a lot of ice cubes placed in every corner.
Although ice cubes are not as magical as the cooling effect of air conditioners, the temperature inside the house is significantly lower than outside.
Plus Zhou Jimin turned on the fan, which made it even more comfortable.
The two of them came to see Zhou Jimin because the steamed buns in the cafeteria of Red Star Company had gone bad.
According to the investigation results, the canteen director Wei Heping was involved in this matter and can even be said to be one of the masterminds.
Because his brother-in-law Wu Jianye is the canteen buyer, and there was something wrong with the flour, meat and other materials purchased by Wu Jianye.
"By the way, Jimin, guess what we found when we were following this guy Wu Jianye?"
Hearing Lei Yuankai's sudden question, Zhou Jimin rolled his eyes and said, guess what? If I were a god, would I still need you to investigate?
Just do the math with your fingers and you’ll know!
After all the fun, let’s get back to the topic.
When Lei Yuankai and the others were following him, they discovered that Wu Jianye had gone to a courtyard in a village outside the city. There was actually a small workshop inside.
Small rotten meat processing workshop!
I don’t know where the smelly meat came from, but the moldy flour was actually processed from wheat two or three years ago.
"How come there is wheat from two or three years ago?"
Zhou Jimin was full of doubts and confusion about this.
First of all, there was a three-year famine before. Where could there be so much wheat at that time? How could it be hoarded? Maybe it wasn’t because they died quickly enough, and even Zhou Jimin, a bastard, was so cautious that something almost happened.
What about others?
Secondly, under normal circumstances, the storage time of wheat is five to eight years. Even if normal pest and disease control is not followed, it can be stored for two or three years.
Therefore, even if the wheat from two or three years ago is processed into flour now, it will not go bad.
Finally, where did this wheat come from?
There are too many sources for the villages outside the city, and they are possible from all directions.
Of course, there should be no wheat in the Northeast.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
You know, today’s Northeast is not the country’s granary, but the ‘Great Northern Wilderness’.
Why beat a roe deer with a stick and scoop up fish and pheasant into the rice pot? This is a fact, but it cannot fly into the hands of the people across the country.
Today's Northeast is filled with vast stretches of wasteland, which are habitats and transit points for migratory birds, wild boars and other wild animals. They are not granaries at all.
Since the 1950s, the reclamation project of the Great Northern Wilderness has begun, but it will take decades of efforts before the Northeast becomes the national granary. It was only after the 1990s that it gradually became the national granary.
"How strange is it?" Lei Yuankai snorted, and then continued, "We only investigated the small workshop, and we don't know where the wheat was shipped from. It will take time to investigate."
"However, we investigated something very interesting."
Fu Yujie took the words and continued:
"When we went to the small workshop last night, we happened to meet someone. Jimin, you should remember Gao Yongwang, right?"
When the other party mentioned this person, Zhou Jimin nodded. How could he not remember?
You must know that Gao Yongwang was the big rat he discovered personally, which added a lot of weight to his medal of merit.
"Isn't this person dead? Why is he still related to the small workshop?"
Gao Yongwang is a rat. Even if such a person is so bad that pus oozes from the soles of his feet, he is a spy after all, and it is impossible for him to do things that expose his identity.
At that time, Gao Yongwang was caught by Zhou Jimin just because he accepted Banggeng as his apprentice.
"It does matter." Fu Yujie nodded, looking a little more serious.
In fact, it was a target person they discovered who was related to Gao Yongwang when they were investigating Gao Yongwang.
This person is actually Gao Yongwang's distant cousin Jin Yuanrong. This person is about half as talented as Gao Yongwang, but this guy is more greedy and lustful.
The main reason why Fu Yujie and the others did not arrest Jin Yuanrong in the first place was that he was particularly good at scheming and had erased a lot of evidence.
In addition, this person has completely restrained himself after the founding of the People's Republic of China. At least on the surface, there is no information that anything wrong can be found.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
The most important thing is that Jin Yuanrong's base camp is in Jincheng in the east, and he rarely moves around the capital.
"So what are you going to do?"
Zhou Jimin was also quite curious, but he didn't expect that he just asked Fu Yujie and the others to investigate the canteen problem of Red Star Company on a whim.
He even pulled out a character like Jin Yuanrong.
From this point of view, it is difficult to find the food source of the stale steamed buns.
After all, Jincheng is a port that goes out to sea. Many things come from the sea, so it is difficult to check clearly.
In the 1980s, many people smuggled themselves to the island.
Therefore, with such a long coastline, it is indeed difficult to guard against these stowaways.
"We plan to send more manpower to dig out all the clues behind Jin Yuanrong, and then catch them all."
Lei Yuankai said in a deep voice that he hated these speculators, especially Jin Yuanrong, who was so crazy that he sold spoiled wheat as food. He was simply not a son of man.
"I support you mentally."
Hearing Zhou Jimin's words, Lei Yuankai and Fu Yujie both rolled their eyes.
This is not the first time they have gotten along. They have long understood the meaning of Zhou Jimin's words, and they support him mentally. Why don't they just say they don't support him?
Literary people just like to pick out words, Gan!
"Boss, we have finished reporting our work, then let's go back to work."
The two stood up, patted their butts and wanted to leave. Zhou Jimin immediately stopped them with a black face and said in a bad tone:
"What did you just say? Report to me?"
These two idiot comrades, when did he become their leader?
What a mess!
Now he wants to get rid of all his positions. Lei Yuankai and Fu Yujie, two bad guys, actually want to give him more work?
With his brain running at high speed, Zhou Jimin immediately said again:
"There is no need for you two to investigate the fact that the steamed buns in the cafeteria have gone bad. It's inexplicable. You still want me to board your pirate ship? Don't even think about it. Go back and tell Lao Xing that next time you come, if you don't have two bottles of Maotai, don't come.
."
Lei Yuankai and Fu Yujie were instantly dumbfounded. Isn't this too sensitive?
However, it was really Xing Yicheng’s intention that they came to see Zhou Jimin today.
The thing is also very simple. Xing Yicheng heard somewhere that Zhou Jimin was resigning as the office director, so Lao Xing thought of abducting Zhou Jimin to the special operations department.
It happened that two days ago, Zhou Jimin came to see Lei Yuankai to deal with the matter of the steamed buns becoming stale, so Xing Yicheng directly used the plan to make the matter an established fact.
The plan is perfect, but Zhou Jimin is too smart.
This has just begun, and it is over.
After coming back to their senses, Lei Yuankai and the two people apologized quickly, saying that you don't need to take action personally for such a small matter, they can solve it.
After that, the two of them ran out in a hurry.
It seems that he does not intend to give Zhou Jimin a chance to refute.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Zhou Jimin, who looked ugly, suddenly burst into laughter.
Although he knew that he was a hot commodity, he didn't expect that Lao Xing would resort to such methods.
It seems that there are some things that cannot be avoided.
We must find time to chat with Lao Xing, otherwise, will he be able to 'retire himself' quietly in the future?
