The Chen family has been doing good things during this time, and within two days of Chen Qiaoshan's university admission letter arriving, Chen Wan's high school admission letter also arrived, and it was personally delivered to the Chen family by the teacher of the town's junior high school.

Chen Weiguo took Chen Wan's admission letter, and he was very emotional, the days passed quickly, and even the four daughters went to high school in a flash, and he couldn't help but be a little glad in his heart, thanks to the second child's planning, the situation at home finally improved, otherwise the family would not even be able to make up the second child's tuition when school started.

On August 10th, Chen Xi had just had breakfast, and he took the luggage that had been prepared a long time ago and let the second uncle send him away.

Due to SARS, the first high school released the summer vacation in advance, and the start date of the second year of high school was also advanced accordingly.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at the motorcycle carrying Chen Xi and gradually moved away, and it was difficult to calm down in his heart, the fourth child will start school in a few days, and it will be his turn later, and he will not be able to stay at home for a few days.

In the hall, Tao Xiuying was picking soybeans and preparing to send out some bean sprouts, and Chen Wan and Chen Yue were on the side to help pick them.

Seeing Chen Qiaoshan coming in, Chen's mother asked, "Second child, when will you go to the town to pay the tuition first?"

The tuition fee of Peking University is 5,000 yuan, the accommodation fee is 700, and some other expenses add up to more than 6,000 yuan, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for the Chen family in the past, but fortunately there is no need to worry too much about it now.

Along with the admission notice, there is also a card from the Agricultural Bank of China, Peking University requires candidates to put money into the card before the 15th, of course, things are not absolute, and there is also an explanation of opening a green channel for families in difficulty in the admission instructions.

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Mom, don't worry, go back and take some time to go again, just go to the police station by the way, and handle the household registration matter." ”

Chen's mother was slightly stunned and wanted to say something, but she still didn't speak, Chen Wan asked curiously: "Second brother, do you want to move your hukou to Yanjing?"

Chen Qiaoshan nodded, Yanjing hukou, something he would never dream about in his previous life, now he goes to Peking University, and he has the opportunity to get a Yanjing hukou after graduation, he is really a little emotional when he thinks about it, but it is just emotion, he doesn't take Yanjing hukou seriously at all now.

The imbalance in the allocation of social and public resources has caused the hukou to become a scarce resource, and it is really sad to think about it, the problem of hukou involves the redistribution of social resources, and the reason why so many people compete for the Yanjing hukou is undoubtedly the word interest.

Yanjing hukou is not attractive to Chen Qiaoshan today, in a rough phrase, things related to money are not a matter, in the face of capital, the problem of hukou is no longer a problem, and he still has this self-confidence in his life.

Chen Qiaoshan suddenly remembered something and asked Chen Wan, "Have you got your ID card?"

"Not yet, do you still need an ID card to go to high school?"

"That's not necessary, you don't have to rush to do it first, wait for next year. ”

Chen's mother asked curiously, "What is there to say here?"

Chen Qiaoshan explained: "We are now using a first-generation ID card, and we will start to change the second-generation ID card next year. ”

The Chen family suddenly realized, and Xiao Wu interjected at this time: "I don't have an ID card either!"

Chen Qiaoshan said angrily: "What are you in a hurry, it's not too late to do it at sixteen, you're still early!"

Xiao Wu was a little unconvinced, and originally wanted to express her dissatisfaction with being ignored, but after thinking about it, she still pointed to her second brother to make food for her.

When it comes to ID cards, Chen Qiaoshan thinks of one more thing, "Fourth, when you go back to get your ID card, clean yourself up!"

Chen Wan asked curiously, "Why is this?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Listen to it, where are there so many problems. ”

As soon as she heard this, Chen's mother laughed directly, and said while laughing: "Yes, what your second brother said is right, you have to clean up the money!"

Chen Wan is not a fool, it seems that Chen's mother knows.

"Mom, what the hell is going on?"

Chen's mother glanced at her son and whispered a few words beside her two daughters, and the mother and daughter laughed directly.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little helpless, the photo of his previous ID card was taken in the photo studio in the town, he had a small flat head with short hair, and there was a slight abrasion on his face, which was not very obvious, but the black and white photo was very dazzling, like a scar, and he didn't look like a good person.

Xiao Wu quietly slipped over and said, "Second brother, show me your ID card!"

Chen Qiaoshan said angrily: "Why are you everywhere?"

……

Sun Guangming called, he and Wang Lin both received the admission notice from the National People's Congress, Sun Fat was very excited on the phone, chattering endlessly, the two were both classmates and friends, and Chen Qiaoshan was also very happy for him.

Chen Qiaoshan has very few friends now, and the real friends are Sun Fatzi and Xiao Chen, he also had friends in the past, such as Fa Xiao Zenggang, but now he has an extra layer of separation from them, and he lacks that natural closeness in his heart.

Xiao Chen's mother has already undergone surgery, the postoperative effect is not bad, the person has been discharged home, the hospital is too expensive to live in and has to spend money every day, they choose to recuperate at home, and they can go to the town's health center if they have something.

Xiao Chen only borrowed 5,000 yuan from Chen Qiaoshan, and his family scraped together the rest of the money, and he also wrote an IOU in a serious manner, the handwriting was very neat, and it could be seen that it took a lot of effort, but the IOU was obviously very unprofessional, Chen Qiaoshan didn't care, he didn't care about this money, and he didn't worry that Xiao Chen would repay the account at all.

There is a difference between people, some people you can see through at a glance, and you are naturally willing to be close to them, and some people may only look at them, and you will never want to deal with them again for the rest of your life.

On the morning of the 14th, the master invited from the town came, the master's surname was Zhao, a standard man's figure, and three little apprentices.

Master Zhao has been doing this business for many years, the guy is complete, the tables, chairs, pots and pans are prepared, and even the awning is prepared, today is the advance preparation, Chen Qiaoshan can't intervene, Chen Weiguo is there, and he doesn't need to go forward at all, but Master Zhao is very interested in Zhuang Yuanlang and chatted with him for a while.

The pig at home was finally cleaned up, Xiao Wu had been chattering for more than ten days, Chen Qiaoshan did not lose his words, picked the best pork belly under the guidance of the butcher, and entered the kitchen under the suspicious eyes of everyone.

Chen Qiaoshan is really not a nonsense, he really practiced cooking skills in his last life, he really can't live alone without any skills, it just so happens that all the condiments are available at home now, and he didn't make much effort, a small pot of Tang's braised pork with full color and fragrance was served on the table.

Xiao Wu is a perseverance, Chen Qiaoshan said that this dish has to be simmered slowly on a low heat to taste, in order to watch the fire of the firewood stove, the little girl was stunned in front of the stove for more than an hour, and the little face rubbed on the stove edge of the ash without knowing it.

Chen's mother said that most of the credit for this pot of braised pork is on the head of the small five.

The braised pork came out of the pot, Chen Qiaoshan was the first to taste it, he took a piece and put it in his mouth, squinted slightly to feel the taste of the meat, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

Xiao Wu looked at him with blank eyes, "Second brother, how does it taste?"

Chen Qiaoshan thought about it for a while, and pretended to be reserved: "It's still the original recipe, it's still the original taste!"

Chen's mother couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Talk about people!"

"It tastes good!"

Xiao Wuyi heard this, how could he bear it, snatched the chopsticks in Chen Qiaoshan's hand and started eating, Chen Wan didn't pull them down, and also found a pair of chopsticks to scramble.

Chen's mother looked funny and said, "You slow down, no one will rob you, and you are not afraid of getting hot." ”

The braised pork tastes really good, the Chen family likes it very much, Xiao Wu and Chen Wan both eat it with a smile, it seems to be very suitable for their taste.

Chen Qiaoshan took it out again, and after tasting a little, Master Zhao commented: "The ingredients are very sufficient!"

Chen Qiaoshan smiled and didn't say anything, just as he was praising himself.

Chen's mother actually makes braised pork, but the method is different, she selects the best pork belly, washes it and brushes it with red persimmons, and then deepens it in an oil pan, waits for the color, cuts it into slices, sprinkles it with salt and steam with onions, ginger and garlic, the taste is also very good, and both have their own flavors.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Qiaoshan helped to build an awning in the yard, and tomorrow's banquet room will definitely not be open, or the yard will be spacious.

Everyone was busy, but Chen Meng suddenly came to the door.

Xiao Chen was still riding the old Erba, and there were two snakeskin bags tied to the back shelf of the car, bulging.

"Brother Chen!"

"Xiao Chen, why are you here? Come, come in and sit. ”

Xiao Chen parked his bicycle at the gate of the courtyard, untied the bag from the back seat of the car, and said, "Brother Chen, your family will set up wine tomorrow, and my mother will ask me to send some materials!" After he finished speaking, he took out a bag of dried shiitake mushrooms and a bag of fungus from the bag, and also lifted a bunch of what seemed to be smoked chicken.

Chen Qiaoshan hurriedly excused himself, but Xiao Chen just didn't follow it, and only said that it was sent by his family.

Chen's mother opened her mouth and said: "Xiao Chen, we have received the heart, there is no shortage of these at home, your mother has just had surgery, it is time to make up for her body!"

"Auntie, this is a pheasant, my uncle specially made it, it's not worth much, my mother made a special trip to let me send some over for you to try!

Xiao Chen was very persistent, and Chen's mother couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it, but she went to get a piece of pig buttocks for Xiao Chen to take back.

Xiao Chen was very embarrassed, he didn't want to live or die, Chen Qiaoshan persuaded a few words, and he took it, Chen's mother is very proper in terms of personal dealings, and she never takes advantage of others.

After Xiao Chen left, Chen's mother sighed: "Their family is exquisite!"

Chen Qiaoshan didn't answer, he hadn't had much contact with Xiao Chen's family, but he could still see something from Xiao Chen.
