The main peak of Changbai Mountain has high altitude and low temperature, strong wind and water.

As soon as it rains, the temperature drops dramatically, and even in the summer, it can make people shiver.

Even Xu Shiyan and his entourage were wearing long-sleeved, long-trousers, thick clothes, and raincoats, and they couldn't stand the cold, so the group went directly into a restaurant.

At this time, there are more people in the hotel, noisy and steaming.

Most people are sighing, it is rare to come to Changbai Mountain, but they have caught up with such weather.

Some people said that they would stay in a hotel in the mountains to see if the weather would be sunny tomorrow.

Xu Shiyan had to consult the opinions of those merchants, and if they wanted to stay, they had to hurry up and book a room.

Several foreigners shook their heads regretfully, their schedules were fixed, and there was really no extra time to stay.

In this way, there was no way, Xu Shiyan had to go out, buy a bag of hot spring boiled eggs, and order a few stir-fried dishes in this restaurant.

The big guy opened all the cans and other things he had brought with him before going up the mountain, and at the starting point of the climb, the big guy had lunch.

The hot spring boiled eggs are a bit interesting, the yolk is solidified, but the egg white is not completely solidified, and it tastes slightly sulfur.

Everyone thought it was fresh and ate most of the eggs in that bag.

After lunch, the rain on the mountain was getting heavier and heavier, Xu Shiyan and the others could only take a big passenger down the mountain, and then dared to go to Erdao Baihe Railway Station and take the afternoon train to go back.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I found that it was still cloudy, but it was not raining.

Everyone can't help but sigh, no wonder it is said that "a mountain has four seasons, ten miles of different days." "Sure enough, it's a good reputation.

With regret, the group took the train from Erdaobaihe back to Songjiang River again, and it was already evening when they arrived home.

On this side of the Songjiang River, it is a clear day, and the sunset turns the western sky and clouds in orange and red, which is magnificent and gorgeous.

Before getting on the train, Xu Shiyan found a place to call the unit, so a few jeeps were already waiting outside the train station.

So he sent several foreigners back to the guest house to settle down, and Xu Shiyan went home directly.

"Huh? Why did you come back so early? ”

Su Anying and Zhou Guilan, who were busy serving food to the table and preparing for dinner, were surprised when they saw Xu Shiyan coming back.

Didn't you say when you left, "I'll have to come back tomorrow morning?" Why are you home tonight?

"Ahem, don't mention it, it was quite sunny when I got there yesterday, and people can't stand the heat.

As a result, it was cloudy when I woke up early this morning, and it was raining on the mountain, so I couldn't climb the mountain at all.

No, we'll have to come back. Xu Shiyan shook his head and sighed.

It's rare to go back to Changbai Mountain, let alone see the Tianchi, not even to the edge of the Tianchi, you can only see the waterfall from a distance at the foot of the mountain.

To say that there are no regrets, it is impossible.

"Huh? Is it raining over there? It's not raining at home, but the sun is good.

How far away you say this is, why is there such a big difference? Su Anying was also amazed when she heard it.

"Well, hurry up and wash your hands and eat, I guess we're waiting for you to take us to climb the mountain next year."

When the time comes, let's catch up with the good weather, maybe we can go up. Su Anying smiled and comforted her man.

Xu Shiyan is a big man, where can he not get over for this little thing?

"Well, we're close, you can go whenever you want.

Let's go, eat, and I also brought a few hot spring eggs and came back to taste them for the children. ”

He bought a lot on the mountain, didn't finish it at noon, and put the rest in his pocket, just in time for the children to taste.

The children were very happy to see their father, and they were also very curious about the hot spring eggs that their father brought back.

But when the egg was opened and found that the egg whites were not cooked, Xu Haiyuan frowned and looked embarrassed.

"Dad, how can I eat this, it's not cooked."

"It was actually boiled in a hot spring, and the hot spring water in the mountains was only 85 degrees, so it was boiled like this.

The yellow inside is ripe, and the outside is half cooked, you taste it, it's quite delicious. ”

Xu Shiyan smiled and explained it to the children.

"Okay, I'll try it then." Xu Haiyuan looked reluctant and ate the egg.

Maybe it's because the eggs are cold, but they don't taste so good anyway.

Eggs, no matter how much you can't taste anything else.

Maybe for other children, eggs are rare, but for Xu Haiyuan and them, eggs at home are open to eat, and they really don't feel rare.

It's just that this is carried back from the mountains by my father, and the children are not wasted.

Changbai Mountain was not climbed, but the ginseng seeds at home were dried.

Two days later, on August 19th, it was time for the children to go back to school.

At this time, Xu Shiyan also received news from the Agricultural University.

Previously, Xu Shiyan asked for someone to send Xu Shi'an to Agricultural University to study animal husbandry and veterinary medicine at his own expense.

Agricultural University replied that Xu Shi'an could go to school, try to report before the end of September, and don't delay the class.

"Dad, this time my second brother can go to college." Xu Shiyan hung up the phone and told Xu Chenghou the good news.

Regardless of whether you give a graduation certificate or a diploma, Xu Shi'an went to study for two years, and he can be regarded as having studied in college.

No matter what time it is, reading is always useful.

Xu Chenghou was also very happy to hear it, but he was randomly worried about the tuition fee.

"Hey, the second child is different from Ling, he is studying at his own expense, and he has a lot of money, right?"

"It's okay, it's not too expensive, the tuition fee is not much, the main thing is that you have to pay for food and accommodation."

In those years, it didn't cost much to go to college, even if it was all self-funded, the fee was not high.

Others are admitted to university not only for no money, but also for various subsidies, if you live a few savings, you can still save a little.

Xu Shi'an can't do this, he has to pay for food and accommodation, which is more expensive.

"Oh, oh, then tell your second brother, usually save a little pity, don't spend wildly."

All the expenses for Xu Shi'an to go out to study were given by Xu Shiyan.

The old man is not partial to one or the other, but mainly because he feels sorry for money.

Most people in these years have this idea, very simple, proud of hardship and hard work, and ashamed of extravagance and waste.

"Uh-huh, I know." Xu Shiyan responded casually, but he didn't really plan to say this to the second brother.

How much can one person eat and drink?

Xu Shi'an is a person who is married, has a daughter-in-law and has children, can he still know how to live?

If Xu Shiyan asks these things again, it will be redundant, as if he can't afford his second brother to study.

Xu Shi'an was naturally very happy to hear the news.

He also discussed this matter with his daughter-in-law, and Wei Mingrong was okay and quite supportive.

In the autumn of '83, Xu Shi'an, with the support of his younger brother, planted more than ten zhang of mallets in the garden behind his house.

Xu Shi'an thought about it, the school asked him to report before the end of September, and he would definitely pick up the mallet to make goods before leaving.

You don't have to worry about selling, just let Xu Shiyan help you when the time comes.

So it was decided to start making goods on September 15th.
