Chapter 217: Back to Zhangjia Village
From March to May, Chen Xin attended two more meetings. However, both times I went as a deputy, one in the south and one in the north.
When she went to the north, she also went to H University to visit her master, and brought a lot of local products here. The last salon was very successful. Although Chen Xin didn't have time to attend, Senior Brother Han and Brother Nan of the publishing house participated in the whole process and served as the host part-time, and they also took a short film of the party and gave it to the guests who participated in the salon with signed books.
The old people are happy, they do not seek fame and fortune, they only want to convey their thoughts and emotions. And because of the successful experience of this party, the publishing house felt that it was very operable, and planned to publish an album dedicated to the memoirs of the elderly. Listening to Brother Nan, it seems that he cooperated with the TV station in their city, and chose several famous old people in the industry who have dealings with the publishing house to record. Chen Xin didn't ask about the specific situation, this was beyond her ability.
In the past, Ye Lao's neighbor asked her if she was willing to study abroad, saying that his son was doing well abroad, and now he was a professor at a university, and his wife was also a professor at the same school, and if she wanted, she could vouch for her.
Chen Xin didn't have this idea yet, so she politely refused the old man's kindness, but still left the contact information that the old man stuffed over, even if he didn't bother his son, he often talked to the old man and chatted about something.
On May Day, Zhang's family called and asked Chen Xin to take Zhang Zhang back to play, saying that it was the time to dig bamboo shoots on the mountain, and a batch of bamboo rats were out of the cage.
It is estimated that Chen Xin did not take Zhang Zhang back during the Chinese New Year, which made the Zhang family feel uneasy, and they also called Liu Chunyan to ask if Chen Xin was angry. Liu Chunyan comforted the two elders a few words, saying that Chen Xin had a job in Binnan in the past, and she happened to celebrate the New Year there, and Chen Xin's boyfriend's hometown was also there. Anyway, it still didn't dispel the uneasiness in the hearts of the Zhang family, no, they called them back in mid-April.
Chen Xin thought about it, Zhang Zhang was going to study at the chess academy during the summer vacation, and he had to work, so it was estimated that there was basically no time to go back to Zhang's house, and how to say that the Zhang family was also Zhang Zhang's relatives, so it was impossible for her to let Zhang Zhang cut off contact with them. arranged the work plan for next May, and Chen Xin promised to take Zhang Zhang back for a week two days in advance.
Because she wanted to take Zhang Zhang back, Chen Xin was busy for a whole month in April, and everyone lost a lot of weight, if she didn't often stew soup and porridge for herself, she didn't know what she would have lost weight. In the week before May Day, she basically relied on private restaurants for three meals, and she slept for less than 15 hours a week.
After returning to the mountain, Chen Xin didn't care about Zhang Zhang's eating and drinking, buried her head in sleep, and slept directly through two meals.
"Xiaoxin is okay, right, I didn't eat last night, and I didn't get up this morning, it's almost noon......"
Grandma Zhang looked worriedly at the door of the room where Chen Xin was sleeping. Next to him sat Zhang Zhang, who was doing his homework.
"Grandma, don't worry, my aunt is tired from working overtime this week, let her sleep well. "Zhang Zhang's homework was assigned to him by Grandpa Liu, learning to write and drawing red with a pencil.
Zhang Zhang is very smart, and when he saw that other children began to recognize words, he also had to make trouble to recognize words, and he was still learning pinyin. Chen Xin bought him a lot of picture books, all of which were types of picture literacy, and they were phrases, the kind of pictures and sentences. There is also pinyin below each sentence, Zhang Zhang can already spell it himself, and a picture book for him can almost finish reading by himself.
The kindergarten does not have high requirements for children's literacy, but Zhang Zhang's literacy is almost at the level of first-grade children, and his mastery of Chinese pinyin is far beyond that of children of the same age.
With Zhang Zhang, she learned to read and write with Song Keke, her speed is much slower, but Song Keke's writing is stronger than Zhang Zhang's, basically just started to hold a pen, and under the guidance of grandpa and father, she began to learn to write radicals. Now people are already writing calligraphy, and although the writing is not powerful, it is more regular than many adults' words.
Zhang Zhang is also learning to write calligraphy with Teacher Song, but he has to learn it a year later, and the words he writes now are completely incomparable with Song Keke's children.
Most of the cultural education of these two children comes from the family's teaching, the Song family gives cultural classes to the two children, and Chen Xin will take the two children to the school's English corner every week to listen to the college students' reading or skit performances, so that the two children can begin to receive language training at an early age. Other children in the kindergarten also participate in interest classes outside of school, anyway, it feels like from now on, there are already many parents who have begun to let their children in kindergarten slowly accelerate.
Chen Xin does not support or oppose it, she thinks that as long as the child is willing to learn, the so-called winning at the starting line, it is estimated that she has to start fighting from reincarnation.
By the time Chen Xin woke up, it was already the afternoon of May Day, and when she came out, Zhang Zhang was peeling bamboo shoot shells with the little four next door.
Little Four and they went to the forest to dig bamboo shoots in the morning, and Zhang Zhang hadn't gotten up yet. In the afternoon, the weather was relatively hot, and the adults did not allow children to play in the bamboo forest, so they let them peel bamboo shoot shells in the yard and promised to fry fresh bamboo shoots for them to eat.
The bamboo shoots here are not the thick winter bamboo shoots, but the slender water bamboo shoots, and some ci bamboo shoots. However, Xiao Si said that the bamboo shoots of Cizhu are not easy to find now, and if you want to dig them, you have to go to the mountain. Chen Xin came over to take a look, and the bamboo shoots for the children were only the thickness of fingers, and the larger ones were all used to soak sour bamboo shoots. Sour bamboo shoots can be sold for money, which is a lot of income, so basically the bamboo shoots you eat at home are the kind that are relatively small and not very good to look good when you soak them.
"Auntie, I want to eat sour bamboo shoots and roast beef. Smelling the sour smell of the sour bamboo shoots that Xiao Si fished out from home, Zhang Zhang rubbed his little belly and felt that his mouth was very greedy.
The sour bamboo shoots of the little four family are soaked very well, and they are very fragrant when eaten empty.
Chen Xin tasted it a little and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask your uncle if he has beef later, and if so, my aunt will roast bamboo shoots for you." ”
It happened that Yan Chunhua came back from outside the courtyard, and when he heard Chen Xin's words, he responded: "The beef is gone, let his uncle buy it tomorrow." There are pork trotters and pork ribs at home, as well as bamboo rats. Roasted bamboo rat with sour bamboo shoots is also delicious, just to be spicy to taste enough. ”
Zhang Zhang is also quite spicy now, and when he heard this, he glanced up at Chen Xin, and was a little hesitant whether to roast pork trotters or bamboo rats.
"Let's stew a pork trotter pot, and then fry the bamboo rat with sour bamboo shoots, I see you also got some bamboo sunflower back, tomorrow kill an old hen, it is best to use it to stew bamboo sunflower." ”
