Chapter 21 Am I not good enough?
The afternoon sun shines into the room through the window glass and shines on the girl sitting at the desk eating meat.
"We pay food expenses for our family every month, and your brother-in-law bought it for me with his own money."
"We both earn one yuan a day, and we can't even afford a few pieces of meat at home."
"Save some for me!"
…
Tao Yushu's chattering in the girl's ear had no impact on her. The only sound in the room was the sound of teeth chewing animal fibers and fats.
After a while, Tao Yumo swept away half of the braised pork in the lunch box. She burped with satisfaction, and she could smell the aroma of the meat from a distance.
Tao Yushu quickly brought water: "Rinse your mouth!"
Tao Yumo took the water with peace of mind, took a sip, put his hand in front of his mouth and nose, took a breath, made sure he couldn't smell it, and then said: "Okay, okay. Just a few pieces of meat? Look, I'll give it to you."
Scared!"
Tao Yushu opened the window as soon as he smelled the smell of meat. Tao Yumo finished eating the meat and drank water to rinse his mouth to cover up the smell. No one believed that the sisters were not born to the same mother.
At first glance, he looks like a habitual offender!
Tao Yushu looked at the completely eaten lunch box with pain, and felt regretful in his heart. He knew that he should have put the lunch box away just now, but was ripped off by this girl.
After eating and drinking, Tao Yumo wiped his mouth proudly, "It still smells like the meat in the big dining room!"
"Did you hear everything I told you?"
"I heard it, I heard it." Tao Yumo waved his hand impatiently and left gracefully.
After Tao Yumo left, Tao Yushu was still a little upset. He should have been angry because he was blackmailed into taking away half a box of braised pork for no reason.
But what made her even more angry was Tao Yumo's fearless attitude, which was obviously trying to keep her from speaking out.
Lin Chaoyang could see clearly from the sidelines that Tao Yushu usually quarreled with heaven and earth at home, and she was a stable person. If the matter of eating secretly was made public, it would have a heavy blow to her image at home.
If nothing else, at least this would be a disadvantage when talking to the mother-in-law in the future. Tao Yushu would definitely not let his mother-in-law take advantage of this, so he indirectly helped his confident sister-in-law.
Not a family, don't enter the same door.
Although Tao Yushu behaves like his father most of the time, occasionally his inheritance from his mother is revealed.
But this kind of little temperament not only does not make people annoying, but also makes her more charming and charming.
"You have to be careful about this girl in the future!" Tao Yushu concluded with wisdom gained from the experience.
Lin Chaoyang was very cooperative, "We will go out to eat later."
"Yes!" Tao Yushu nodded seriously and agreed deeply.
After the incident of stealing food passed, Tao Yushu returned to her usual down-to-earth and generous manner, and discussed with Lin Chaoyang for a long time the literary criticism she wrote for "Scars".
After chatting for a long time, Lin Chaoyang looked at the letter full of words and was stunned, and suddenly said: "By the way, I have forgotten to report to my family that I am safe after being here for so many days."
Tao Yushu rolled her eyes at him, "By the time you think about it, the day lilies will be cold."
Lin Chaoyang immediately realized that with Tao Yushu's thoughtfulness, the aftermath must have been dealt with.
Sure enough, Tao Yushu continued: "I wrote to my parents a few days ago and sent them. I guess there should be a reply in a few days."
"Good wife!" Lin Chaoyang took Tao Yushu's cheek and kissed her.
"Annoying!"
When it came time for dinner, Tao Yushu was not hungry at all because he had eaten half a portion of braised pork in the afternoon, so only Lin Chaoyang appeared at the dinner table.
Tao Yumo sat at the dinner table, but even though she tried her best, she could still tell that she was feeling anxious about dinner.
Without two people to share the meat, my uncle's chopsticks flew up. After a few chopsticks, he was taught a lesson by Tao's mother.
"You are so old, you don't care about your wife and children!"
"Mom, I've been using my brain too much lately, so I need to take some rest."
My uncle's speeches are always so unexpected.
"What's the use of your brain?"
Lin Chaoyang was very sure that Tao Yushu's vicious tongue was inherited from his mother.
"Do you think writing a script is that easy?"
The eldest uncle was mumbling, but he didn't dare to say it loudly.
In this family, anyone who offends him will be kicked in the face.
Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In Chinese tradition, the tenth birthday of an elderly person is a birthday, and the same is true for the country.
At this time, various domestic literary and artistic institutions and units such as film studios and drama troupes will always produce a bunch of works as gifts, which is an old tradition.
The place where my uncle works is a Chinese opera, so he would join in the fun at times like this.
However, China Theater Academy is a Qingshui yamen. It is not like a film studio that can use hundreds of thousands of funds to make a movie. Basically, the school mobilizes and allocates symbolic funds, and relies more on the work and efforts of the faculty, staff and students.
Recently, my uncle was writing a play to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Not only did he not get any royalties, but he also had to apply to the school to choose the kind that would be given to others for free.
If it were Lin Chaoyang, he would never be able to do such a thing as bringing his own rations to the battlefield.
But my uncle...
Lin Chaoyang glanced to the side. Although the contact time was not long, Lin Chaoyang knew very well that his elder brother-in-law, who was over thirty years old, not only had the heart of a young man, but also the heart of a literary youth.
Lin Chaoyang sometimes wonders what his uncle has been through. He feels that it is completely different from other people's suffering and hatred. He must have a good chat if he has the opportunity.
After dinner, Lin Chaoyang took Tao Yushu out for a walk, but she didn't want to move.
"You've been sitting at home all day. Studying is study, and you can't delay your exercise."
Langrun Garden is an old garden of the former Qing Dynasty. The water from the West Mountain flows through Guajiatun and flows into Langrun Lake. There are islands in the lake with pavilions and pavilions. In late summer, it has quite a beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.
The couple were walking around Langrun Lake and met an old man. Tao Yushu greeted the old man and introduced the old man next to him to Lin Chaoyang.
"This is Professor Jin Kepu from the Department of Oriental Languages."
"Uncle Jin, this is my husband Lin Chaoyang."
Jin Keyu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I heard about it."
The two parties exchanged greetings and then said goodbye. Tao Yushu said to Lin Chaoyang: "Professor Jin Kepu is proficient in Sanskrit, Pali, Hindi, English, French, German and other languages. He came from a poor family and graduated from elementary school without a book.
Later, I just relied on 'stealing knowledge' in our Yan'an University Library and studied hard to achieve success, and I learned both Chinese and Western knowledge."
At first, Lin Chaoyang didn't pay much attention, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong.
Jin Kepu has a primary school diploma, and he has a junior high school diploma. They all work in the Yanda Library, and Lin Chaoyang has a higher starting point than him. My wife is hoping that her husband will become a great success!
Lin Chaoyang was puzzled. It had been several days since he had been in Yanjing. Didn't I perform well enough?
