Chapter 10 The ideal of the end of the century
Lin Zhenhua's spicy boiled fish won applause from all the audience. This dish was painstakingly studied during his graduate school to find his girlfriend, and the effect is naturally extraordinary.According to Lin Zhenhua's own evaluation, this pot of boiled fish has only reached less than one-third of the level of what he made before crossing, because of the lack of various seasonings, especially the lack of cooking oil.If Lin Fanghua hadn't snatched the oil bottle in time, Lin Zhenhua would have poured the whole family's monthly rationed oil into the pot.

"Xiao Hua, you have been reborn in the army. It turns out that you can only eat, but how can you cook. I never thought that you can cook such delicious dishes now. Chef Liu in the small cafeteria is not as good as you." Xuan Hong Yang gnawed on the last piece of fish bone, and said without hesitation.

"Actually, I also know how to cook this dish." Lin Zhenhua said modestly, "During the self-defense counterattack, our troops stayed in Yunnan for half a year, and that's where I learned it."

"This fish is really good." Zhao Yongqun said, "And this Wuliangye wine is much better than the sorghum wine produced in our county."

Chu Hongyang gave Zhao Yongqun a blank look: "What do you know, this wine costs more than three yuan a bottle. My dad has been in the reception of the supply and marketing department for so many years, and he has never drank it a few times."

"How much is three yuan?" Peng Shaozhe clicked his tongue, "Xiaohua, are you rich?"

"Hehe, it was a gift from a friend." Lin Zhenhua said, "On the way back, I rescued a cadre from Xiangping Province, and he gave it to me."

"When will it be our turn for such a good thing?" Zhao Yongqun said, "I'm too full, I have to go back to sleep. Let's all go, let Xiaohua go to bed early too."

Several bad friends left with belches, and there were still several boxes of Double Happiness cigarettes stuffed by Lin Zhenhua in their pockets.They were all close buddies who skipped classes and fought with Lin Zhenhua back then. They shared the blessings and the hardships. Lin Zhenhua had good cigarettes and wine, and they were not polite.

"Brother, the fish you cook is really delicious. I haven't eaten enough. Let's eat it once a month, okay?" Lin Fanghua said to Lin Zhenhua while packing up the dishes and chopsticks after seeing off Xi Hongyang and the others. Seeing her lofty ideals, just now she had no interest in eating more because of the presence of so many people, but now looking at the empty vegetable bowl, she feels nostalgic.It's also because Lin Zhenhua's bad friends are so hungry that they even drank up all the chili oil in the basin.

Lin Zhenhua reached out and rubbed Lin Fanghua's head, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, just buy another fish tomorrow. I will make it for you, and you can eat it all by yourself."

Lin Fanghua has now begun to get used to his brother's intimacy. The brother and sister have not been so intimate for many years. This feeling makes Lin Fanghua feel warm in his heart.Regarding her brother's suggestion, she didn't take it seriously: "You can't eat good things every day. This fish costs more than one yuan, and it doesn't count that you used so much oil."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Xiaofang, now that I'm back, our life will get better and better. I promise you, within a year, I will let you eat this kind of fish every day, until you eat Till I'm tired."

"You are talking in your sleep." Lin Fanghua said, "We were writing essays in school, writing about a day in 2000, and we didn't dare to say that we ate such fish every day."

"Then what do you write?" Lin Zhenhua asked with great interest. He really wanted to know what a day in 2000 looked like in the minds of people at that time.

"I won't tell you what I wrote. The model essay read by our class teacher said that when you get up in the morning, put the rice in a special pot, plug it in and go to work. When you come back from get off work at noon, the meal will be ready." It’s cooked and still hot. Don’t you think it’s amazing?” Lin Fanghua said.

Lin Zhenhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, is your dream to have a rice cooker?"

"What rice cooker?" Lin Fanghua wondered.

Lin Zhenhua thought for a while, then nodded: "I will realize this ideal for you in 2000 instead of 1980. When I find suitable materials, I will make you a pot like this."

"Brother, you are really good at bragging." Lin Fanghua felt that he had completely recognized the true face of this brother, "Do you think this is an electric stove? When people cook the rice, it will automatically cut off the power. It is to use a robot controlling."

"I don't need a robot for this." Lin Zhenhua let Lin Fanghua laugh, "The temperature controller of the rice cooker is just an ordinary bimetallic piece, one side is iron and the other side is copper, and their coefficients of thermal expansion are different. So when the temperature is high, it will bend and disconnect the power supply. Purely mechanical products, a single transistor is not used.”

Lin Fanghua listened to Lin Zhenhua's words so seriously, and couldn't help but believe them a little bit: "Brother, do you really understand these? Are you bragging?"

"Cut, I don't have the time to brag. If you give me a cow, I will definitely slaughter it and eat it. By the way, Xiaofang, I will make boiled beef for you some other day. It tastes better than boiled fish... ..."

After washing the dishes and tidying up the house, the siblings went to sleep separately.According to Lin Zhenhua's past habits, basically he would not go to bed before eleven o'clock, but in this era, he can only retreat with the times.In this day and age, there is no Internet or TV, and the only night life for the young workers in the factory is to play cards.Lin Zhenhua's predecessor was very keen on playing cards, but now Lin Zhenhua has no interest in playing cards, so he can only sleep.

Before going to bed, Lin Zhenhua discovered that there was only a curtain between the two rooms where he and Lin Fanghua lived, and there was no door, which made Lin Zhenhua feel a little embarrassed.Lin Zhenhua was an only child in his previous life, he had no sisters, and he and his girlfriend hadn't developed to cohabitation at all, so he felt a little uncomfortable living in a house with a girl.

"Will this be inconvenient, or else, I'll make a door another day." Lin Zhenhua said to Lin Fanghua.

"What are you doing as a door?" Lin Fanghua asked in surprise. She never thought about the inconvenience. Before her parents passed away, she had always lived in the same room as Lin Zhenhua.Nowadays, there are still many sixteen or seventeen-year-old brothers and sisters living in the same room in the factory. In the era when the per capita living area was only eight square meters, this phenomenon is not surprising at all.

"You are a girl..."

"Bang!" Before Lin Zhenhua finished speaking, Lin Fanghua knocked on the head. Lin Fanghua rolled her almond eyes, stared at Lin Zhenhua and said, "You've been a soldier for two years and you're a fool? I'm your sister. What's the inconvenience? of?"

"Uh... mainly because I've been living with men these years, so I need to get used to it." Lin Zhenhua cursed himself inwardly, turned off the light, and fell asleep on the bed.

In the middle of the night, Lin Zhenhua woke up. Hearing the even breathing sound of Lin Fanghua next door in a deep sleep, he couldn't help getting up, went to Lin Fanghua's room, sat on her bedside, and took advantage of the street light from the window, He looked carefully at this younger sister who was cultivated in the previous life.

This is a 16-year-old girl's pretty face like a spring flower. There is still a smile on her face, and she is dreaming of something happy.Her hair was scattered on the pillow, and there was a faint fragrance of hair in the whole room.It was summer now, and Lin Fanghua was only wearing a homely short-sleeved shirt, with two white arms exposed.The lower body is wearing a pair of cropped trousers, revealing a small section of calf and round feet. Each of her toes is so plump and delicate, like crystal agate.

Looking at this sleeping girl, Lin Zhenhua felt as if his heart had been washed by clean water, without any evil thoughts.He said softly to himself: This is my sister, my real sister.Since God brought me to this age and gave me such a beautiful sister, I must take good care of her and let her live happily and happily every day...
