Forty has a hurdle

Chapter 120 Times are different

The arrival of the two elderly people brought the biggest change to Zhao Hongming's family, that is, they can eat hot and delicious meals every day when they go home.

It can also be said that Zhao Yuancheng also tried his best to make Zhao Hongming's family happy.

However, the shortcomings of the old couple are also quite obvious.

"Dad, why did you buy so many tomatoes!"

Since his parents came to the house, Zhao Hongming no longer went to the market to buy vegetables, and Zhao Yuancheng and his wife did the grocery shopping and cooking every day.

Originally it was said that he would go shopping and his parents would cook, but Zhao Yuancheng and Li Lifen insisted on going shopping by themselves and said they could exercise.

The vegetable market is about one kilometer away from Zhao Hongming's home. After Zhao Hongming thought about it, he no longer insisted on his going to buy vegetables.

Because he didn't have to go shopping, and Zhao Hongming was on middle shift again today, he had a good sleep and didn't wake up until around 08:30.

After he finished washing up in the bathroom, his parents had already returned from shopping.

Seeing what the old father was carrying in his hand, Zhao Hongming couldn't help screaming.

I saw a shopping bag on the kitchen floor, stuffed with a dozen tomatoes.

It weighs at least ten pounds.

Normally, when Zhao Hongming buys vegetables, he basically only buys the amount of the day, and at most plans to have lunch on the next day. If he buys vegetables like tomatoes, he will only buy one or two at a time, and he will definitely not be like his father. , Bought so much in one go.

"Hehe, tell me, the vegetables in this city are cheaper than those in our hometown. These tomatoes can be sold for at least three yuan a catty at the market in the town, but here they only sell for two yuan and five catties, which is cheap." I paid fifty cents!" Zhao Yuancheng laughed, as if he had discovered a new continent.

In fact, it's not just the vegetable market, he found that some vegetables in the supermarket are also cheaper than those in his hometown.

It turned out to be like this, Zhao Hongming suddenly realized.

However, he still reminded: "Dad, this dish is fresh every day. Whether it's in the vegetable market or in the supermarket, some dishes are cheaper than those in my hometown, especially the supermarket, where they have activities every day. , you don’t need to buy so much at one time, go once a day, buy a little less, not only fresh, but also exercise, you think so.”

"I know, I know." Zhao Yuancheng replied impatiently.

Seeing his father like this, Zhao Hongming knew that what he said was in vain, so he had no choice but to go back to the bedroom and start typing.

Because it was the middle shift, Zhao Hongming coded the code until it was half an hour before Zhao Huan left school, so he rode an electric bike to pick up Zhao Huan.

"Dad, look!" Just after leaving the school gate, Zhao Huan handed a box to his father with a bright smile on his face.

"What?" Zhao Hongming asked curiously.

"In this monthly exam, my English score ranked tenth in the class. This is a reward from my English teacher."

Zhao Huan danced happily.

"Yo, is it? Let me see."

Zhao Hongming was happy when he heard it.

Since the start of school for more than a month, Zhao Huan's study momentum has been good. It can be clearly seen that Zhao Huan's condition is much better than last semester.

Just last week, the school held its first monthly exam. Zhao Huan unexpectedly got a good result, ranking 200th in the class. At the end of the term, it rose by almost ninety places.

This made Zhao Hongming and Qin Yali very happy, especially Zhao Huan's math score has improved significantly, and has been able to stabilize at more than 90 points.

This shows that Mr. Ma's make-up lessons are really effective.

By the way, in the second week of school, Zhao Huan strongly demanded to go to Teacher Ma to make up lessons. How could Zhao Hongming and his wife reject their child's self-motivation.

As for the issue of money, in front of learning, you can only stand aside, no matter how you think about it, you must have money ready.

In the subject of English, he got [-] points in the test, which is a certain improvement compared to the previous semester. Although he has only improved by a few points, it is very valuable.

For other subjects, although there is not much fluctuation, Zhao Hongming and his wife can wait.

They believe that their children have potential, but they have not fully realized it.

Especially Qin Yali, whose heart, which had been half-cold, began to liven up again.

Ever since he knew the grades and rankings, every time Zhao Hongming went to pick up Zhao Huan, he could clearly feel that the child had gained more of his own views on matters related to study. Every time the father and son chatted on the road, Zhao Huan often started talking about studying.

This made Zhao Hongming very pleased.

There is nothing more joyful than watching a child grow up step by step.

"This is not bad! Your English teacher probably spent a lot of money! Are you the only one who has it?"

Zhao Hongming opened the box, and there was a delicate pen inside.

"Just three people, namely Wang Zirui, Li Zhilei and me.

Wang Zirui is the first in class and grade, Li Zhilei and I are the fastest because of the rise! "

Zhao Huan took back the box from his father with a grin, and stuffed it into his schoolbag.

"Okay, Huanhuan, you have to learn English well, give full play to your strengths, and don't let Teacher Chen down."

If the child has made progress, the parents must follow closely, praise a few words quickly, and make some requests by the way
"I know, I know, let's go quickly, I'm starving to death." Zhao Huan said repeatedly, stepped on the electric car, and urged.

"Let's go!" Zhao Hongming twisted the accelerator, and the electric car rushed out lightly.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Zhao Huan came before he could hear him, opened the door of the house that was already concealed, and opened his mouth to shout.

"Haha, come, come, Huanhuan, wash your hands and eat." The old couple Zhao Yuancheng and Li Lifen were already sitting at the dining table waiting, and the dishes had already been placed on the table.

Every dish is still steaming.

This shows that Zhao Yuancheng took the time to cook.

Wash your hands, eat.

When Zhao Hongming and Zhao Huan sat down at the dining table, they looked at the dishes in front of them, but they were a little dumbfounded.

A tomato scrambled egg, a candied tomato, a green pepper fried meat, and a spinach soup.

Of the four dishes, tomatoes alone accounted for two.

"Come on, Zhao Huan, try this candied tomato. When your father was young, he loved it the most." Zhao Yuancheng smiled and gave Zhao Huan a sliced ​​tomato.

Zhao Huan took it hesitantly, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and his face changed drastically.

He stood up straight away and ran to the trash can.

How about this dish?

Put in the 90s, it is definitely a dish that children like to eat very much.

Because there is a lot of white sugar or rock sugar in it.

The sour taste of tomatoes mixed with the sweetness of sugar is definitely comparable to some juice drinks nowadays.

However, children nowadays, where have they ever eaten such a rough cooking method?

Let's take Zhao Huan as an example. As for raw vegetables, he has only eaten cucumbers and lettuces. He has never eaten raw sweet potatoes or raw radishes.

The children of this era are not like Zhao Hongming at that time, running all over the mountains and fields, and basically eating all the vegetables grown in the fields, whether they can be eaten raw or not.

"Wow, grandpa, don't make this dish in the future, it's not delicious." Zhao Huan said with a bitter face, spitting the tomato in his mouth into the trash can.
