Chen Fan held a lotus root more than a meter long in one hand and a fishing net in the other, and returned to the Zhiqing Point sullenly.

He is actually quite satisfied with his current life, he goes to work at the brigade headquarters every day, and after he comes back, he cooperates with Jiang Lili to work, and all kinds of housework are also taken care of by Jiang Lili.

No one chased after his ass and asked him to hand in the task, and he didn't have to worry about suddenly losing his job one day, and he didn't have the burden of housing loan and pension.

In addition to the lack of TV, mobile phones, and computers, the small life is more comfortable than before the crossing.

Especially after settling down and getting the homestead certificate, there is no pressure on life.

As long as you survive the past few years, when the manuscript fee system is restored and the production team is disbanded, you can catch the express train of literary take-off in the 80s and go to the city to become a high-income writer comfortably.

It's really more beautiful than long.

But now, the good life is coming to an end.

Lonely men and widows? Send three people?

Phew, it's not just to see that his life is too comfortable and to make trouble for himself.

Waiting for Yang Ju, Huang Ying, and the one named Liu Dan to come over, can Jiang Lili still not shy away from them and help her clean the housework and cook?

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, when the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow.

Just a few days later, something unexpected happened.

Jiang Lili heard the movement in the kitchen, so she walked out, and saw him walking up, smiling and about to speak, but saw Chen Fan not looking very happy, and then looked at the lotus root and fishing net in his hand, and couldn't help but be a little strange, didn't he borrow something, why was he unhappy again?

He immediately asked, "What's wrong with you, you don't seem to be happy?" ”

Chen Fan raised his head and sighed lightly, "It's okay, I ate two pearl balls at the captain's house just now, which were a little salty and staggered." ”

The corners of Jiang Lili's mouth twitched slightly, and after enduring it a few times, she finally couldn't help laughing.

You can eat a ball like this, it's so funny.

Chen Fan raised his eyelids and grinned, "Say something that makes you happy." ”

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and smiled, "What? ”

Chen Fan glanced back, turned around, and said, "Captain Yang said that if other educated youths don't come in the future, there will only be the two of us in this courtyard, and lonely men and widows are easy to attract gossip." ”

When Jiang Lili heard this, her face turned red at first, and when she figured it out, the smile on her face disappeared quickly, and she couldn't help lowering her head, her heart pounding.

Then I heard Chen Fan continue, "So, he had a meeting with Accountant Liu and Keeper Huang, and came up with a bad idea to let Yang Ju, Huang Ying, and Liu Dan also move in." ”

Jiang Lili raised her head suddenly, her face full of astonishment.

Not to separate them?

Chen Fan pretended to shrug his shoulders lightly and said with a smile, "I see that Yang Ju and Huang Ying are very good at their work, and they should be able to help you share a lot, so it's good news." I just don't know if that Liu Dan will be a lazy worm. ”

Jiang Lili hadn't reacted at this time, and muttered, "Liu Dan is also very diligent and not lazy." ”

There are no lazy girls in the village these days, otherwise they can't get married, at most they don't like to clean up themselves.

After saying that, she blinked her eyes wide, "She, they came to live here?" ”

Chen Fan nodded and said with a smile, "You can assign tasks to them when you turn around, one sweeps the yard, one manages the vegetable garden, and the other is responsible for feeding pigs, horses and sheep, and you feed the chicks and dogs yourself, see if it can be much easier." ”

Jiang Lili lowered her head again, "I don't dare." ”

"What dare not, is the distribution of labor, is it possible that they only live here and don't work?"

After a pause for two seconds, Chen Fan smiled and said, "However, they can't move here until the second year of junior high school, so we have to continue to be busy these days." ”

Jiang Lili raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "I'm not busy." ”

Chen Fan raised the lotus root in his hand, "Who said it's not busy, hey, wash this and cut it, but don't cut too much, I'm mainly afraid that the meat filling will not be enough." ”

Then he raised the fishing net in his hand, "I'll go catch a net of fish first and see if there is any catch." ”

Jiang Lili took the lotus root, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, watching Chen Fan carry the bucket out of the yard, stunned for a while before turning around and entering the kitchen.

Chen Fan cast a few nets, caught half a bucket of large and small fish, and brought them back to Jiang Lili to deal with, while he went to work at the team headquarters.

In the radio station, he practiced calligraphy for an hour with a horse and walk, and then went home from work.

Look, where to find such a job in paid interest classes?

……

Back at the Zhiqing Point, Jiang Lili also did almost the same, and when she saw Chen Fan coming back, she immediately sped up, "It'll be fine right away, I'll cook when I put the oil up." ”

At this time, her mood had calmed down a lot and returned to her usual appearance.

Come to someone, come to someone, this is not your own home, you can't be your own master, and you can only let it go. There is still a week to go, and these days are still happy.

Chen Fan approached and took a look, "Hey, it's really a lot." ”

In addition to those desserts and New Year's goods, she also made a little pearl balls and vegetable balls, plus fried small crispy fish, and set a big table.

Then he took off his padded jacket and handed it to Jiang Lili, saying, "Help me bring the cotton vest, and I'll make it for dinner today." ”

Jiang Lili hugged her clothes and looked at him in surprise, "You are going to do it?" ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Let's eat something good for the New Year today, and then wait for the New Year, and then eat a big meal, just once or twice a year, and after the New Year, we will have to live a hard life again." ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start work.

Jiang Lili couldn't help but smile and said, "If you are talking about the kind we usually eat, it is not a hard life, in the eyes of other people's families, the New Year may not be so rich." ”

Chen Fan waved his hand, "What kind of New Year is that, the good days are still ahead in the future, hurry up, it's quick, it's quick, I'll freeze it later." ”

Fortunately, the fire in the kitchen stove was blazing, otherwise he would not have dared to take off his clothes, and the snow outside had not yet melted.

When Jiang Lili heard this, she hurriedly ran out to get him a cotton vest.

He brought him a vest and put it on, and worked around him back and forth.

Chen Fan also incarnated as a master, just cooking on the stove, cutting and washing Jiang Lili.

The two worked together seamlessly, and soon made a good table.

Put the oil from the fried New Year's goods into a bowl, and then make a sauce stewed carp in a large pot covered with oil, and add a little shredded radish to it, which is full of aroma.

Then use the pot made of carp to fry a plate of bacon cabbage, which is stained with the fresh fragrance of the fish, and the taste is stronger.

Finally, make a green vegetable and egg soup to clear your mouth and start the meal.

Chen Fan held the rice bowl and said without raising his head while eating, "Xiao Jiang, I want to ask you something." ”

Jiang Lili looked at him, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Fan, "If you don't become an educated youth one day, what do you want to do the most?" ”

When Jiang Lili heard this, she couldn't help but lose her mind a little, and after a few seconds, she came back to her senses, lowered her head and smiled, "An old intellectual, I once told me that people like me can't 'graduate' in 7 years, and I'm only 3 years now, which is still early." So this question has not been thought about. ”

Chen Fan raised his head and looked at her, "I don't believe it, you must have thought about it." ”

Jiang Lili smiled bitterly, looked into his eyes and said, "Not really." ”

She took a deep breath, her eyes a little sloppy, "In the past few years, every day in my mind is how my parents, parents and sister are doing, whether they can eat and dress warmly, and whether they have been wronged." Except for them, they are just thinking about how to protect themselves, how can they have time to think about anything else. ”

Chen Fan chewed twice, swallowed the food in his mouth, paused for two seconds, and then looked at her and said, "What about before?" I mean, before the accident. ”

Jiang Lili was silent for a moment, lowered her head and pursed her lips, and said with a reluctant smile, "My parents graduated from East China Textile Institute of Technology, and when I was still studying, my biggest dream was to be admitted to the university they studied, but it is estimated that I will not have a chance in this life." ”

East China Institute of Textile Technology?

Chen Fan was a little confused, what kind of school is this? Where is it?

Jiang Lili raised her head and saw Chen Fan's eyes, so she smiled and said, "This is the current Shanghai Institute of Textile Technology." ”

Chen Fan pursed his lips and smiled, still not knowing.

Jiang Lili felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that he didn't know it, and immediately explained to him, "Don't look at this school as not famous, its origin is not small, it can be traced back to the Nantong Textile Dyeing Institute founded by Zhang Qian in 1912,......"

When Chen Fan heard Zhang Qian, he immediately understood, it turned out to be Donghua University.

This school is really good, and it is said that more than half of the world's fiber processing personnel are related to this university.

Look at Jiang Lili again, the ideal is ambitious.

Speaking of her dreams, as well as the school where her parents lived, Jiang Lili seemed to have forgotten all the unhappy things, and let out a string of silver bell-like laughter from time to time.
