Chapter 1295 Heartbeat in an Instant
The next day, Sister Chen made delicious hand-pulled noodles for everyone, with six different toppings, which everyone praised highly.
This morning, I bought a lot of beef and made beef sauce for my daughter. I added some chili peppers, small fish and shrimp, and other seasonings; it tasted amazing.
You don't need any other dishes; this beef sauce alone is enough to fill you up and make you feel good, even with rice and steamed buns.
Chen Shuhua took leave to take her mother to the airport, hugging her tightly and saying, "Mom, I will definitely come home for the New Year this year."
"Okay!" Aunt Chen nodded. "Your sister and I will wait for you at home. If you can't take a vacation, don't worry, we'll come to see you, that's just as good. By the way, I saw Cheng Jin, she's good-looking and very polite. As for her character, I haven't known her for long, so my judgment may not be accurate, but I believe you see Cheng Jin often and have your own judgment. Whether you pursue her or not, and whether you succeed or not, Mom will support you."
Chen Shuhua nodded, "I understand, Mom."
Only after watching her mother board the plane did Chen Shuhua return to her workplace.
Upon opening the refrigerator, the top three crisper compartments were filled with beef sauce. The labels indicated: medium spicy, mild spicy, numbing spicy, and sweet spiced beef sauce.
"Shuhua, you can give the spicy stuff to your colleagues. I hope they'll treat you better after eating the beef sauce I made. Love you forever, Mom."
Chen Shuhua's eyes instantly reddened. She took one bottle of each type of beef sauce and put them in her bag. "There's no one better than my mother. She has always been good to me. Now I'm working hard to bring honor to my mother."
When it was time for dinner, Chen Shuhua went to the cafeteria.
When Chen Shuhua arrived, the group of people who had been having dinner together gathered around her, including Cheng Jin. The meal her mother had cooked brought the young people even closer together.
It was as if Chen's mother's arrival made everyone feel that their mothers also missed them, but just couldn't come.
Seeing Chen Shuhua's low spirits, Li Ling comforted her, "Shuhua, the New Year is coming soon, you have a holiday, you can go home. If you're not happy, wouldn't those of us who are farther and longer away from home be even more upset?"
Hearing this, Chen Shuhua stopped being a spoilsport and stirred up everyone's homesickness. "I'm sorry to have worried you all. Here, this is beef sauce made by my mom. Li Ling, you can handle spicy food, this spicy beef sauce is made by my mom for you. This one is medium spicy, it's Zhao Gang's... Cheng Jin, this sweet braised beef sauce is for you."
The group was deeply moved to see canned beef sauce laid out in front of them.
Li Ling quickly grabbed the beef sauce labeled "Spicy" and exclaimed, "Shuhua, Aunt Chen loves me so much! She even knew I like spicy food!"
"How could I not know? You ate almost all of the grouper with chopped chili peppers that day." Chen Shuhua laughed. "It was a bit spicy, so don't eat too much."
Zhao Gang broke open the large steamed bun, stuffed the beef sauce inside, opened his mouth wide, took a big bite, and exclaimed with satisfaction, "This is the taste! Delicious!"
Cheng Jin ate the sweet braised beef sauce with a happy mood. "Chen Shuhua, please tell Aunt Chen for me that I thank her for making the beef sauce. When I get home, I'll also mail her some local specialties from our area."
Chen Shuhua smiled and said, "Sure, I won't be polite. And you guys, don't forget me if you get anything good to eat!"
"We won't forget, we promise we won't forget, we'll definitely send it when we get back." The group agreed.
From that day on, they often ate together. Whenever Chen Shuhua encountered something she didn't understand or couldn't figure out, she would go to Cheng Jin.
It was probably to get closer to Cheng Jin, but after a few times, Chen Shuhua discovered that Cheng Jin was truly outstanding. A few simple words of advice were enough to enlighten Chen Shuhua.
"Cheng Jin, you're amazing! No wonder you graduated with your doctorate at just 22. You worked in a research lab abroad for a few years. Are all people who study abroad really that impressive?"
Cheng Jin smiled and shook her head to correct him, "Although you praised me for being excellent, I should be modest. But to answer your last question, I can't be modest. I was already excellent, which is why I went abroad to study. It's not that studying abroad made me excellent; it just gave me the opportunity to access more advanced technology and equipment, and more experienced experts and professors. After all, after World War II, all the scientists went to America, which has a deep cultural foundation, and I admit that. But I believe we will build our country even better."
Chen Shuhua was taken aback, then smiled. "That makes sense. If I wanted to study abroad, I could go, but I want to start working sooner to ease my mother's burden. I'm already very satisfied."
"You are already very excellent, especially your math. Sometimes you really impress me, and I even feel a little ashamed of myself," Cheng Jin praised earnestly.
Chen Shuhua smiled. "Really?"
Cheng Jin nodded, "Of course it's true. I have a project that needs people who are good at math. Are you interested in participating?"
"Me?" Chen Shuhua pointed to herself. "I just started working this year, is that okay?"
“Of course!” Cheng Jin chuckled. “Mathematics is different from other subjects. It requires extremely high talent, as well as concentration, patience, and meticulousness. You have all of those qualities. I have very high expectations of you. Be confident, you’re doing very well.”
Chen Shuhua nodded happily, "Okay! I'll participate."
Even doing odd jobs there, she could learn a lot. Besides, it was a chance to observe Cheng Jin's character firsthand. Chen Shuhua didn't want to miss it!
Chen Shuhua was loved by her parents from a young age. Even after her father sacrificed his life, she did not feel a lack of love and therefore had a strong desire for family.
At the same time, physiological needs also made Chen Shuhua want to have a lover and get married.
Unlike many women today who pursue independence, they use remaining unmarried and childless as a benchmark for independence. They feel that once their daughters get married, they will lose their freedom and no longer be themselves.
But shouldn't true freedom be about having a free and unrestrained mind? Having children is a freedom, and not having children is also a freedom.
These self-proclaimed progressive women, competing to get married and have children, aren't they interfering with other people's freedom?
When Cheng Jin heard Chen Shuhua agree, he breathed a sigh of relief. Watching Chen Shuhua's departing figure, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
He wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart and had keen senses, so he could certainly sense Chen Shuhua's feigned affection.
Those who can work here are undoubtedly talented people, and Chen Shuhua is no exception.
From Aunt Chen's personality, Cheng Jin could sense that Chen Shuhua, a member of the family, had a well-rounded personality, was deeply influenced by her mother, and was an optimistic and positive person.
Another thing that attracted him was that Chen Shuhua's appearance fulfilled all his beautiful fantasies about women.
He fell in love in an instant and wanted to pursue her!
