"Mom, you'd better watch less "Readers" and "Yilin"." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but find it funny: "Ask Xiaomiao, who are the school directors and presidents? Their letters of recommendation are useful for studying, joining, and being promoted abroad. How important is it?”
"There are only two types of foreigners who are unsophisticated. One is a person whose social class is so low that it is not his turn to be acquainted with the world, and the other is someone who is too capable and does not need to rely on the world's sophistication. Other than that, most people still recommend it. I believe it is a shortcut to Zhongnan, and I can’t wait for it.”
"Elbow is right. For example, deans of departments recommend to each other the children they want to take care of in exchange. This kind of thing happens a lot in the United States. There are also many children of wealthy families who only rely on a recommendation letter from the school director, or even Parents can get admission by making a donation, and these are almost all things that are fair and square," Mai Xiaomiao confirmed.
My mother remembered one thing. If Zhuzi really didn't do so well in the college entrance examination, would Mr. Gu have the ability to recruit him and train him under his name, and then get a diploma...
Ah, bah, bah, how could you slander your promising son like this!
"I brought back a lot of vegetables from my fifth uncle, as well as two big pig legs." Zhou Zhi said, "How about sending them to my godfather and godmother at night?"
"They have now evolved to eat in the government canteen, which is just a place where they sleep and pile rocks." My mother was angry and funny: "Let's make dried radish. After the dried radish is ready and mixed, we can serve it to them. In the past, I sent it over now...I'm afraid it will be turned into dried radish in the end."
"Hahaha...then make dried radish!"
Mai Xiaomiao has been eating a lot of fish and meat during this period, but he feels a little stuffy after a few days. In addition, he has been tired from traveling all the time, so he wants to eat something lighter at night.
"Then cook bacon porridge, mix with shredded radish, and stir-fry cabbage." Zhou Zhi said, "It nourishes the stomach and is not greasy."
"Fortunately, your classmates haven't come back, so it would be polite to toast at the banquet. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the best man, and it would be easy for you to get drunk." Mom smiled and said, "That's okay, just put some in the porridge. Lean diced pork, don’t ask for the fat one. I’ll get some of the tempeh I made and mix it with diced radish. It will be comfortable to eat.”
It’s so simple to make this for dinner. Cut some bacon into pieces, add some shredded ginger and boil it together with the porridge. When the porridge is cooked, sprinkle some chopped cabbage leaves into it and stir evenly. Use the temperature of the porridge to scald the leaves, and the bacon porridge is ready. alright.
Cut the white radish into shreds and mix it with salt to remove excess water. Squeeze it dry and shake it up. Add onion, ginger, garlic, coriander and other seasonings. Thread the dried chili pepper through a wire and burn it over the fire. Grind it into the shredded radish. Mix well and it becomes a good cold dish.
Using the same seasonings and techniques, you can also mix in the folded root and vegetable slices that you brought back.
Finally, add tempeh and diced white radish, stir-fry a large plate of cabbage, and a simple and refreshing dinner is ready.
There was still a lot of time left, so the family processed the large white radish, first cut it into slices, cut it up and down with a knife and cut it into strips that could be hung. After air-drying for a few days to remove the water, they packed it with salt and compacted it into a jar. After ten days, it turns into white dried radish.
Afterwards, you can stew meat, stir-fry vegetables, or mix it into mixed vegetables, all of which are delicious.
When Dad came back, a long thin aluminum wire had been strung up in the yard, and it was covered with white radish slices.
"Uncle is back!" No one dared to let Mai Xiaomiao go under the knife and only asked her to hang the carrot slices, so she was the first to see her father when he returned.
"Hey, Xiaomiao is still helping to dry the radishes?!" Mai Xiaomiao is short and has to stand on a small bench to hang radishes on the aluminum wire. When his father saw this, he thought it was cute and said with a smile: "You can do it! You can do it!" Did you go to your fifth uncle’s house?”
"Yes! Uncle, how do you know?"
"Every time I go there, I have to collect a bunch of vegetables and come back. Now that I have a car, isn't it more convenient?"
"Xiao Miao came down first, let's have dinner!" Mom said to dad: "Xiao Miao has been bumpy in the car these days and has eaten greasy. Let's eat something lighter tonight and have porridge."
"It's good to drink porridge, it nourishes the stomach and keeps you warm." Dad said with concern to Mai Xiaomiao: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me in time. The winter in Manzhou is wet and cold, which is more uncomfortable than the dry and cold climate in the north. Xiaomiao, you may not be used to it. "It's okay." Mai Xiaomiao said: "The winter in New York is also very humid, even colder than in Manzhou."
Everyone sat down to eat. Dad said to Zhou Zhi: "Clean the air conditioning filter in Xiaomiao's room later and turn on the air conditioner to make it more comfortable."
"Oh." Zhou Zhi nodded.
"Does Xiaomiao have any brothers or sisters? Are mom and dad in good health?" Mom started to ask.
"Auntie, I'm the only one in my family. My parents are very nice, but everyone is busy, especially my mother. We don't see each other a few times a year."
"Is that so...what do they do?"
"My father teaches at a university and my mother works in a bank." Mai Xiaomiao said: "My mother traveled all over the world on business when I was very young. Each trip would take a week or two, and she would have to fly back for a day or two."
"That's really busy. Fortunately, you have a dad to take care of you? Teaching must be stable."
"He is actually busy, but there are many brothers and sisters from school to take care of me." Mai Xiaomiao thought for a moment: "Later, they liked to teach me how to do questions..."
"Wait a minute, are you sure they like to teach you to do questions?" Zhou Zhi discovered the problem keenly: "Is it possible that the questions they teach you to do are actually their own homework?"
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
"It was definitely not the case at the beginning... Huh? But then when I got to middle school..." Mai Xiaomiao was a little belatedly aware of it.
"No wonder Xiaomiao is so good! She has been in college since she was a child, and she can do college questions when she was in middle school." Mom laughed.
"That's right, it also saves the brothers and sisters of college students a lot of worry." Zhou Zhi slandered.
"Actually, doing math problems is quite fun, not to mention they will buy me delicious food." Mai Xiaomiao was quite satisfied.
My mother feels very sorry for Mai Xiaomiao. She feels a bit like An Ran and An Ran. Fortunately, the growing environment is different, so a genius like Mai Xiaomiao was not delayed: "Do you have any relatives in China?"
"There is only one grandpa." Mai Xiaomiao said.
"Xiao Miao's family is quite simple." Mom nodded.
"Xiaomiao's grandfather is Academician Mai Mingdong from the Computer Science Department of our school." Zhou Zhi said, "It can be considered a family connection."
"It must be hereditary! Just like Mr. Gu and his family!" Although Zhou Zhi and his mother have discussed science several times, such inheritance has little to do with genes, but my mother has her stubbornness: "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets Feng, the old saying makes sense when rats give birth to burrows.”
"With you running around like this, will it affect the progress of the project?" Dad thought of another worry: "This project was transferred by the state to the Clover Group. Don't take it lightly." (This chapter End)
