Siheyuan Shangpeng

"Luo Nan, you're back? You don't have to be so busy. It feels like you... um! How should I put it, it feels like there's a pack of Siberian wolves chasing you."

It was another night. Andre looked at Shang Peng who returned to the dormitory and said that through this period of time, Andre had established a preliminary friendship with Shang Peng. He was very confused by Shang Peng's behavior of either studying or on the way to study.

Shang Peng smiled when he heard Andre's words and said, "Andre, you don't understand us rabbits. We don't have the foundation of light and heavy industries like you do. Our country is in ruins now. We were sent here to learn. If I waste these years on other things, I won't forgive myself when I return home. Do you understand?"

Andre shook his head and continued, "To be honest, I really don't understand the current situation in your country, but aren't we Russians helping you build it? Why are you so anxious?"

Shang Peng looked at Andre solemnly and said, "Andre, are we friends?"

Andre was stunned, and looked at the other party and said, "My dear Savary, after spending some time together, I thought we were already friends, right?"

Shang Peng took two steps and sat opposite Andre and said seriously: "Andre, I am telling you these things because we are friends. Do you really think that two countries can get along like we two can? There are times when friends have different opinions, right?"

Andre thought for a while, looked up at Shang Peng and said: "Luo Nan, I think I understand what you mean. I wish your country to realize xxx as soon as possible, and I also wish our country will always have peace." After that, he went straight back to his room without waiting for Shang Peng to reply.

Shang Peng looked at Andre from behind and suddenly said, "Andre, I'll treat you to our rabbit's delicacies tomorrow night. Do you want to bring back two bottles of vodka?"

Andre paused and said, "Can I call Anne over? She has a good sister! Haha..."

Shang Peng shook his head, smiled, stood up and walked towards his room.

The next afternoon, Shang Peng took out a copper pot from the space, and took out the beef and mutton, cut them into thin slices, washed the cabbage and other vegetables and set them aside. The most important thing was a piece of beef hot pot base. These were all made by Shang Peng based on his memories of his previous life. They might not be as professional as what the He father and son made, but who made Shang Peng eat up what the He father and son made.

When Andre returned to the dormitory, he opened the door and a strong smell of hot pot rushed into his nose. Andre didn't care about his girlfriend behind him. He walked to the dining table in two quick steps and looked at the food on the table. He asked anxiously: "Luo Nan, what is this food? It smells so good!"

Shang Peng smiled and said, "Andre, don't worry, go wash your hands first and come back to eat."

At this time, Andre's girlfriend Annie also came to the table and said to Shang Peng: "Dear Nan, this smells so good. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This is my roommate, her name is Evelova, Eve, and this is Andre's roommate, Luo Nan." (I know I shouldn't call her that, but it doesn't matter. It won't happen many times anyway, haha...)

Shang Peng looked up and saw a delicate girl who looked like a Barbie doll standing next to Annie. Shang Peng greeted her politely and then said to Annie, "Annie, take your friend to wash your hands and come back for dinner."

Annie took Eve to wash their hands with a smile. When the three of them came back after washing their hands and sat down, Shang Peng began to teach them how to eat hot pot. They learned while eating. They all felt nauseous because of the spiciness, but they still couldn't stop.

Everyone was very satisfied with the hotpot meal. After the meal, the two girls took a rest and washed the dishes. When they returned to the house, they found that Shang Peng had already prepared drinks. Now the house no longer had the strong smell of hotpot, but was filled with a chrysanthemum-like fragrance.

Shang Peng greeted them and said, "Come and have some tea, otherwise your stomachs won't be able to take it." As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for both of them.

Annie sat down with Eve, and under Shang Peng's instruction, they slowly savored the tea.

Several people felt another kind of enjoyment. Annie said, "Nan, why didn't you take out such good things earlier? Make more in the future and bribe me more, and I will give Eve to you, haha..."

After saying these few words, Eve's face turned red. Shang Peng smiled and said, "Don't you know that I'm only seventeen years old? In our country, you can get married at the age of twenty, and boyfriend-girlfriend relationships that are not for the purpose of marriage are considered hooliganism." After saying this, he raised his eyebrows at Andre.

Andre suddenly felt terrified. He quickly said, "I have always wanted to marry Anne. We will get married after graduation. Yes, that's it."

After saying this, he felt that the murderous aura around him had disappeared. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and glared at Shang Peng.

Shang Peng stood by and watched the two people having fun with a smile on his face.

When Annie saw that Shang Peng was indeed not interested in Eve, she changed the subject and they started chatting. When it got dark, Andre sent Annie and Shang Peng back to the dormitory, while Shang Peng started studying again. When Andre came back and found Shang Peng studying again, he felt helpless.

Time was spent in studying. In addition to studying, Shang Peng had one more task, which was to cook a delicious meal for Andre and Annie about every week. The two of them would borrow books or academic papers or even new mechanical drawings for Shang Peng that he could not borrow. Shang Peng also knew that Andre was helping him, and he sincerely regarded Andre as his friend.

Gradually, Shang Peng came into the attention of a professor. After the New Year of 1958, the professor found Shang Peng and officially let him enter his laboratory.

Andre suddenly found that Shang Peng had become busy since the start of the new year, and sometimes he was not seen for a month. After asking, Shang Peng confessed that he had entered the professor's laboratory and asked Andre if he was willing to go with him. He now had the opportunity to be recommended by the professor.

Andre readily agreed. Suddenly, Annie found that Andre had become as busy as Shang Peng. They used to see each other almost every day, but since Andre and Shang Peng entered the professor's laboratory, they could see each other once or twice a month. Although she knew that Andre was right to pretend, she was still very angry. She had no choice but to exploit Andre severely when she met him, making Andre both painful and happy.
