Chapter 159 Newspaper Stories
Chen Jianye rode his bike along the main roads and small streets of the old city.
Suddenly, a child carrying a newspaper appeared in front of him and shouted, "Newspapers, newspapers for sale."
"Five cents a copy."
Chen Jianye had a thought, and he didn't know whether his deeds had been published in the newspaper.
He immediately rode his bike to the child and said, "Kid, do you have any newspapers from our city?"
"Yes, I have newspapers from all over the country, including those from the workers' group."
The newspaper boy replied eagerly.
"Bring me a newspaper from the city of Beijing."
Chen Jianye smiled.
The child skillfully pulled out a newspaper.
Chen Jianye took a quick glance and found the description of his own deeds in the lower left corner of the newspaper.
The title is quite big.
The content is extremely glorious and positive, and it promotes positive energy without a doubt.
"for you."
Without saying a word, Chen Jianye took out five cents and handed it to the child.
Then fold the newspaper and put it in your pocket.
It is a great honor to have your deeds published in the newspaper.
Worth collecting.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Jianye arrived at the entrance of the library.
"Comrade Jianye."
Ran Qiuye stood at the door and raised his hand to greet.
"Comrade Qiuye, you came very early today."
Chen Jianye spoke with a smile.
"We are here a little early today. Let's go in."
Ran Qiuye's face turned slightly red.
Chen Jianye looked at Ran Qiuye's clothes generously.
Today she was wearing a black dress with white dots, three-quarter sleeves, flat shoes, and her hair was tied into a ponytail.
It looks very refreshing.
The only drawback is that there is no big thunder.
Chen Jianye likes Da Lei.
Of course, this is not a big disadvantage.
There is no big thunder. If the two of them were really dating, Chen Jianye could create a big thunder himself.
The two entered the library, returned books, and then borrowed books.
Then we sat together and read.
"Hey, Jianye, last time you told me that you wanted to learn my mom's skill in making noodles, does that count?"
Ran Qiuye asked.
"Of course it counts. If my aunt agrees, I can go today."
Chen Jianye replied seriously.
"Okay, let's do it today."
"My mother asked me to ask you. If it doesn't count, borrow your bicycle and go home to tell her."
Ran Qiuye took the opportunity to set a time.
"How can it not count? My words are as good as my words."
Chen Jianye patted the bulging cloth bag and said, "Inside it are ten kilograms of sweet potatoes that I specially prepared. I'll consider it as tuition for my aunt."
"You're well prepared. I was worried that you might change your mind."
Ran Qiuye said in surprise.
"I really want to learn how to cook noodles. I'm usually alone at home and always eat stir-fried dishes. I want to change things up."
"After learning how to make pasta, I will have a richer diet in the future, and I don't have to always bring sweet potatoes when I go out."
"As for the sweet potatoes in this bag, you have to prepare a tuition fee to become my apprentice."
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go home together at eleven o'clock."
"I'll keep an eye on the time."
Ran Qiuye nodded happily.
There is a wall clock in the library, but it is not placed in the reading room. Instead, it is hung on the wall behind the book lending and returning counter.
If you want to check the time, you have to run over there and take a look.
"I have a watch. I'll lend it to you first."
Chen Jianye unfastened the clasp of his watch.
"Oh, you bought a watch?"
Ran Qiuye was surprised.
"Yes, I bought it second-hand from a colleague."
Chen Jianye smiled.
He finally understood why bicycles and watches sold so well.
Carrying this thing with you, you can inadvertently show off and it really makes you feel happy.
"how much?"
"Two hundred dollars."
“That’s not cheap.”
Ran Qiuye was not too surprised. He took the watch and played with it for a while: "It's worth spending two hundred yuan on this watch. It's not a waste of money."
"Of course I have to. If the goods are not good and expensive, I can't pay for them."
Chen Jianye smiled, took out a newspaper from his pocket and handed it to Ran Qiuye: "Take a look at this report."
"What's the report?"
Ran Qiuye took the newspaper, puzzled.
After looking at it for a while, Ran Qiuye was surprised and said, "Jianye, is it you who killed the murderer in the newspaper, Chen Jianye?"
"Haha, of course it's me, otherwise why would I let you read the newspaper?"
Chen Jianye was slightly pleased.
"Oh my god, you're amazing."
"You killed the murderer that the police couldn't catch, and you were even in the newspapers."
Ran Qiuye praised repeatedly.
Chen Jianye gained great emotional satisfaction.
The two chatted for a while and then read books separately.
After Chen Jianye was promoted to a fourth-level worker, his knowledge of locksmithing became more and more profound.
The books I read range from the introduction to benchwork, the basics of benchwork, to the current intermediate and advanced knowledge of benchwork.
Ran Qiuye looked at the time twice, and then secretly glanced at Chen Jianye's profile.
Serious men are the most attractive.
She didn't dare to look at it any longer, for fear that Chen Jianye would notice her and ask her what she was doing.
The time soon came to eleven o'clock.
"Jianye, it's almost time for us to go back."
Ran Qiuye reminded.
"Ah."
Chen Jianye closed the book.
The two walked out of the library.
Chen Jianye got on the bike, and Ran Qiuye sat on the back seat behind him with her legs placed aside.
Chen Jianye had been to Ran's house once. This time, he didn't need Ran Qiuye to show the way. He rode his bike smoothly forward.
In less than twenty minutes, the two arrived at Ran's house.
"Dad, Mom, Comrade Chen Jianye and I are back."
Ran Qiuye pushed open the door and shouted.
"Hey, Jianye is here."
Father Ran put down the paper book in his hand.
"Dad, look at the newspaper. Look here."
Ran Qiuye handed over the prepared newspaper.
"What?"
Father Ran took the newspaper and started reading.
After three minutes, he raised his head and looked at Chen Jianye in surprise: "Jianye, is it your deeds that are written in the newspaper?"
"Yes, I didn't want to put it in the newspaper at first, but the street director kept trying to persuade me, saying that since I was assisting the police in handling the case, I should put it in the newspaper to motivate the people."
Chen Jianye said modestly.
"You did a really good job. Very good."
Ran's father was generous with his praise.
"What are you guys talking about? Chen Jianye, don't you want to learn how to make steamed buns? Come in and knead the dough."
Ran's mother poked her head out from the kitchen.
"Come on."
Chen Jianye hurried over.
His cooking experience was only twenty points away from upgrading, so he learned to make pasta, on the one hand to satisfy his own hunger, and more importantly to upgrade his cooking skills to LV3.
That means a chance to win a prize.
"Mom, we are talking about Jianye's brave act. Come and see."
Ran Qiuye said excitedly.
"What's the point of being brave?"
Ran's mother walked out of the kitchen.
Ran Qiuye put the newspaper in front of her.
"Oh, Chen Jianye really did something big. This kid is really brave."
Ran's mother was also surprised.
"Aunt, are we going to mix the flour with water?"
At this time, Chen Jianye shouted in the kitchen.
"Yes, it is necessary to mix with water, but you have to mix yeast powder and sugar with water first."
Ran's mother hurried into the kitchen.
She prepared five kilograms of flour, which couldn't be wasted.
Ran Qiuye also followed him into the kitchen.
“Wait until the yeast powder, sugar and water are completely dissolved, then pour the water into the flour.
"Then knead the dough. When it's almost done, cover it with a cloth and wait for it to rest."
Ran's mother taught.
"When is it about time?"
Chen Jianye poured yeast powder and sugar into the water and stirred it with a spoon.
"Knead the dough into a ball, and make sure the pores inside are even, then it's almost done."
Ran's mother smiled and said, "Making noodles often depends on experience. You have to do it yourself. You will know how to do it after failing a few times."
"Okay, then I'll follow your instructions first. If there are any problems, please help me correct them."
Chen Jianye poured the soaked water into the basin containing flour.
Then just start stirring.
The flour quickly solidified into balls of cotton wool-like stuff, sticking Chen Jianye's hands all over.
