The four girls were busy for a while, and after a while, the table was set, Jiang Lili carried the teapot and poured water, Yang Ju poured melon seeds and peanuts into the clay plate and served them, and asked cautiously, "Do you want to wash some cucumbers and tomatoes?" ”

Chen Fan listened to it with great reluctance, and nodded again and again, "Wow, wow, wow." ”

I happened to be a little thirsty after drinking, so it was good to eat some "vegetables and fruits".

Yang Ju turned his face and glanced at the three of them, and they could see the smile in each other's eyes. Sure enough, Mr. Chen was not really angry.

After all, what Teacher Chen said just now was also for their own good, and when they thought about it, several girls felt warm in their hearts.

Over there, Yang Ju went to pick cucumbers and tomatoes, and Huang Ying hurriedly said, "We fished some water chestnuts this afternoon, and they have been cooked, do you want to eat a little?" ”

Chen Fan's eyes immediately lit up, "Wow, wow, wow." ”

How long has it been since you eaten fresh water chestnut? I really want to take this bite.

So there were four more plates on the table, a plate of cucumber strips, a plate of tomatoes, and two plates of water chestnuts.

Why does water chestnut have two plates?

Because these are two different breeds. One is the two-horned water chestnut, which is also the most common in the market in later generations, and the other is the four-horned water chestnut, in addition to one horn at each end, there are two horizontal horns in the middle, which seems to prevent others from eating it.

If you want to ask what is the difference between these two types of water chestnuts, that is, the two horns of water chestnuts are larger and have more starch content, that is, they are more powdery. On the other hand, the water chestnut is slightly smaller and has a more crunchy taste, but it has a higher sugar content, which means it is sweeter.

Chen Fan grabbed the water chestnut and ate a few bites first, and said casually, "There should be a lotus root tip at this time, dig some lotus root tip tomorrow and fry it." ”

Yang Ju nodded immediately, "Well, there is one in the wild lake behind, and I will dig it tomorrow morning." ”

There is a small wild lake under the slope behind Chen Fan's house, this lake is actually taken from the village to build houses and slowly dug out, because the area is not large, there is no fish farming, it is a wild lake.

However, there are also a lot of lotus roots and trash fish in it. This one is amazing, it seems that there is no need to scatter seeds, as long as there is water in a place, it can grow aquatic plants and fish by itself.

Seeing Yang Ju's flexible reaction, Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction, and explained, "Don't dig too much, this thing is not fresh after a long time, just enough to eat." ”

Peeling another water chestnut, he looked at the four people who were eating happily, and his face turned pale, "Tell me how old you are, don't pay attention to it, what should I do if my eyes are really myopic in the future?" ”

Huang Ying was not afraid at this time, she immediately rolled her eyes, licked her face and smiled, "Teacher Chen, the apple tree transplanted on the slope in front of your new home has borne fruit, and there are also pears and dates." ”

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, "Really? ”

Yang Ju hurriedly nodded, "Yes, there are also a lot of wild fruits in the forests in the east and north, it is estimated that they will ripen in another month." ”

Liu Dan also said, "There are a few wild grape vines in the forest in the north, most of them are relatively sour, but some can be eaten, sweet and sour, and quite delicious." It will be ripe in another month, and there will definitely be a lot of children to pick it by then, so we have to pick it first. ”

Chen Fan looked at them and was a little surprised, "Just this small forest, there are so many fruit trees?" ”

He had always thought that there were no good things in this miscellaneous forest, but he didn't expect that there were so many wild fruits.

It's okay to be sour, it's authentic to make wine with this sour fruit!

"yes."

Huang Ying hurriedly said, "In fact, there are many fruit trees, apples, pears, persimmons, but they are all wild, and no one cares about them, no one does it to loosen the soil, fertilize, and prune, so most of the fruits are not very delicious, but it is still good to relieve cravings." ”

At this time, Jiang Lili also said, "There were also educated youths who went to pick and eat before, but the taste was really not good, most of them were sour and astringent, so many of them were rotten and no one ate them." On the contrary, most of the dozen or so fruit trees transplanted from the front slope also bear fruit, which must be better than those wild fruits. ”

The fruit trees that Chen Fan bought before were all mature trees, and when they were dug up with the soil, they could hang fruit that year, and they had almost no impact.

Unlike the dozen or so fruit trees grafted in the eastern forest, it takes a year or two to bear fruit, to say the least.

Seeing that they said that there were so many fruits, Chen Fan immediately nodded and said, "It's okay, wait one day for you to take a look, everything that is almost ripe, all of them will be picked, the sweet ones will be kept for eating, a little for yourself, and the rest will be given to the children and old people in the village." Soak it in sour water, and I'll make it. ”

Liu Dan asked in surprise, "Wild fruits can also make wine?" ”

Chen Fan nodded and smiled, "Wild fruit wine is only delicious if it has a low degree." ”

Then he slapped his arm and waved at Jiang Lili, "Bring the incense burner in my room and light it, there are too many mosquitoes here." ”

Jiang Lili hurriedly ran to his room, took out an incense burner from it, opened the lid, there was a bunch of unburned herbs in it, she picked up a match and lit it, a stream of medicinal incense came out, and the mosquitoes immediately avoided it and fled in all directions.

Chen Fan ate tomatoes at this time, and continued, "I have to remember what I said just now, the body is your own, no matter how hard you work, you have to take care of the body, if you don't cherish yourself, who will feel sorry for you?" ”

The four girls all pursed their lips in embarrassment and lowered their heads.

Chen Fan didn't say much, but said, "Actually, I didn't want to talk about you in this tea party, but you have now learned a quarter of the course, and the progress is not slow, and after laying a good foundation, the learning will be faster and faster."

After learning these basic knowledge, the next step is to choose a major course, so I would like to ask you, have you thought about what you will do in the future? Then when choosing a major, you should follow this direction. ”

After eating two more slices of tomatoes, a cucumber, and 3 water chestnuts, Chen Fan looked at the four of them, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Huang Ying's eyes and eyebrows were squeezed together, she looked at the other three, turned her face to Chen Fan, and said with a sad face, "We don't know what those majors are for, and which ones are more suitable for us, so we don't know how to choose." ”

Chen Fan glanced at her, then at the others, and said with a smile, "What do those majors do?" This is complicated to explain. ”

After a pause, he said, "Then let me change the question, do you have any ideals?" It's what I want to do the most since I was a child. ”

Liu Dan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately raised his hand and said, "I have." ”

Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction and pointed at her, "Say." ”

Liu Dan held his hands in front of his chest, his eyes were full of longing, "I want to be able to eat meat every day!" ”

Belch......

At this time, Chen Fan's mouth was empty, otherwise he would probably choke.

Then I saw Huang Ying and Yang Ju also raise their hands, and said excitedly, "Me too, I can eat meat every day." ”

Huang Ying added, "I still want to have a lot of new clothes!" ”

Chen Fan was very helpless, and wanted to say that this was not an ideal, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he looked forward to living a good life, how could he say that it was not an ideal?

He could only cover his heart and say, "I mean work, after all, if you want to eat meat and wear new clothes, you have to have money and tickets, where do the money and tickets come from?" You have to work to have it, right?! ”

The three of them smiled awkwardly, and then Huang Ying saw that Jiang Lili seemed to be distracted, so she said, "Xiaoli, you haven't said it yet." ”

Jiang Lili heard her shouting, and suddenly came back to her senses, and when she thought about Huang Ying's words clearly, she smiled awkwardly and shook her head, "I didn't think about it." ”

Chen Fan glanced at her and didn't say anything.

Because he had asked Jiang Lili this question before, she said that when she was in elementary school, the homeroom teacher asked the class about the ideal answer. Her answer is to be able to make a lot of beautiful clothes and dress everyone up beautifully.

Sure enough, it's a fairy tale.

Then Chen Fan's summary for her was to be a fashion designer.

It's just that this ideal can be had by Huang Ying, Yang Ju, and Liu Dan, but Jiang Lili can't have it.

In this way, she naturally didn't dare to say it here, even if Huang Ying and the three would not sue, what if she leaked her mouth in front of others?

To be on the safe side, being cautious is the best choice.

Seeing that Jiang Lili said no, Huang Ying didn't think it was strange, because they didn't have it themselves.

But since Mr. Chen asked at this time, then he has to make up one of them.

So Huang Ying said, "If it's work, what I want to do most is to be a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative!" ”

Yang Ju quickly followed, raising her hand high, her little face full of pride, "I want to be the first tractor driver in Lujiawan!" ”

Chen Fan couldn't help grinning, now there is no tractor in Lujiawan, even if she really buys a tractor, it won't be her turn.

But the spirit is commendable, especially when I can't see that she still has this ambition, and her hobbies are very unique!

Finally, Liu Dan added, "I want to be a broadcaster. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she blushed and lowered her head.

Because Chen Fan is a broadcaster, and he also accepted a student named Zhang Cui'e. She was very unconvinced by this, that is, Zhang Cui'e relied on her geographical advantage, her family lived in Team 5, and she had an uncle who was the captain, otherwise, she and Teacher Chen were under the same roof, how could this apprenticeship opportunity get her turn? !

And Chen Fan couldn't help nodding his head when he heard what they said about his ideal job.

Eight members of the commune, projectionists, salesmen, tractor drivers, operators, hygienists, cooks, broadcasters, technicians.

In the eyes of the grassroots people at the commune level, these jobs are the best jobs in the world, and their choice is among the eight members, which is a matter of course.

But their knowledge is shallow, and Chen Fan's knowledge is high.

After taking a sip of the tea bowl, he made a concluding speech, "Huang Ying, you want to be a salesperson, right?" ”

Huang Ying immediately nodded, looking at Teacher Chen with apprehension in her heart.

She also told others that she wanted to be a salesperson before, but in exchange for ridicule, Teacher Chen shouldn't laugh at herself, right?!

Chen Fan looked at her and laughed softly, "Then do you know what the best salesperson does?" ”

Huang Ying was stunned and shook her head slightly, "I don't know." ”

Isn't the salesperson just standing at the counter selling things? Is there a good one or a bad one?

Chen Fan explained with a smile, "The best salesperson is actually closely related to the development of our country. ”

Huang Ying's eyes widened instantly, does selling something have anything to do with the country?

Chen Fan continued, "Do you know that our country needs to spend a lot of foreign exchange every year to import advanced equipment from abroad? ”

As soon as Huang Ying heard this, her eyes began to be confused, "I, I, I know foreign exchange, well, it seems to be foreign money." ”

This is because she likes to read books and newspapers, and when she has the opportunity, she runs to the gate of the Educated Youth Institute to guard, hoping to find some books and newspapers from those educated youths to read, so that she can know about foreign exchange from their mouths.

This is also one of the reasons why she is so close to Jiang Lili, because she has seen a lot before.

Otherwise, a rural girl has no chance to know foreign exchange.

And Yang Ju interjected at this time, and asked with a puzzled face, "Teacher Chen, you said that we want to buy advanced equipment from abroad, is it possible that foreign equipment is very advanced?" ”

At this time, people have the impression that people abroad are living in dire straits, in this case, how can foreign equipment be more advanced?

In this regard, Chen Fan just used an example to reverse her impression, "Then do you know that we recognized Lao Maozi as our big brother back then, and many industrial technologies and equipment were given by them?" ”

Hearing this, no matter how stupid Yang Ju was, he understood something, "So, are we looking for Lao Maozi to buy equipment?" ”

Chen Fan shook his head lightly, "That's not it, we fell out with Lao Maozi, how can we still buy their things?" We bought American equipment. ”

Although we have not formally established a relationship in these years, we no longer scold, but there are still a lot of people-to-people news in the newspaper, which can be regarded as being in the honeymoon period.

Now that Chen Fan mentioned it, Yang Ju also thought of the news in the newspaper, so he nodded suddenly and said nothing.

Chen Fan smiled, turned his head to look at Huang Ying, and continued, "You are right, foreign exchange is foreign money, so do you know how foreign exchange came from?" ”

Huang Ying shook her head blankly, "I don't know." ”

Chen Fan, "Foreign exchange is foreign money, so if you want money in other people's hands, what should you do?" ”

Huang Ying's eyes rolled slightly, and then she thought of what Chen Fan had just said, and then suddenly realized, "I know, the best salesperson you are talking about, is it to sell things to foreigners, so that we have foreign money?" ”

Chen Fan gave a thumbs up, "It's so smart, you guessed it at once." ”

He looked at Huang Ying and said, "The best salesman is to sell our country's things to foreigners at the highest possible price in exchange for foreign exchange in their hands, and then our country can use this foreign exchange to buy their advanced equipment and help the country develop." ”

Huang Ying stood up suddenly, and said with a flushed face, "I want to be the best salesperson!" ”

Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction, he was still a child in this era.

No, this can't be called fooling, it should be called "education"!

He immediately coughed dryly, "Since you want to be the best salesperson, you must learn more cultural knowledge, especially foreign languages." From today onwards, in addition to continuing to study mathematics, physics and chemistry, you also need to learn English, can you do it? ”

Huang Ying raised her head and said without hesitation, "Yes!" ”

Very good and got one.

Chen Fan aimed at the next one, Yang Ju.

He lay his arms on the table and smiled at Yang Ju, "Why do you want to be a tractor driver, not a driver?" ”

Yang Ju said in a daze, "Because, because, the production team will only buy tractors, not cars." ”

Chen Fan immediately shook his head, "It's not right for you to think like this, didn't you see what the newspaper said, some advanced production teams not only have cars, but also large trucks, jeeps, and even agricultural machinery, such as rice transplanters and harvesters."

If we have this kind of machinery, when we double grab, we don't need to harvest at all, we just drive the harvester around the rice field, and all the rice is received into the body, and the effort of threshing is saved. ”

Yang Ju felt inspired and immediately changed her words, "Then I'll be a harvester driver!" ”

Chen Fan waved his hand, "Eh, it's wrong again." ”

Yang Ju was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Whether it is a tractor, a car, or a harvester and a rice transplanter, they all have a common feature. ”

Yang Ju's face was dazed, what do they have in common?

She hesitated and said, "It's all machines? ”

Chen Fan patted the table lightly, "Eh, that's right." ”

Yang Ju's eyes lit up instantly, hey, are you still blindfolded?

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Have you noticed that tractors, harvesters, and rice transplanters all have the word 'machine', this is because they all belong to machines."

So, instead of being a tractor driver, you should develop in the direction of machinery, as long as you can study machinery thoroughly, not only can you drive tractors, cars, and agricultural machinery, but you can even research better machinery yourself.

At that time, the production teams of the whole country will use the rice transplanter you have researched to transplant rice, and when the grain is ripe, they will use the harvester you have studied to harvest it, and then use the tractor you have studied to pull it to the grain management station to hand over the grain ,......."

With Chen Fan's words, Yang Ju's eyes became brighter and brighter, and when she heard this, she couldn't help it anymore, and immediately said loudly, "I'll learn machinery!" ”

Chen Fan snapped his fingers, beautiful, he looked at Yang Ju with a pleasant face, "Then in addition to mathematics, physics and chemistry, you must also learn English well." ”

Yang Ju couldn't help but be a little confused, "Machines also want to learn English?" ”

Chen Fan nodded, "Yes, because the most advanced machinery is abroad, if you don't learn English well, how can you understand those advanced machinery?" If you can't even understand other people's things, how do you come up with the best machinery? ”

Yang Ju was suddenly stunned, and then nodded vigorously, "I understand!" ”

Chen Fan nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

finally looked at Liu Dan.

The little girl looked at him with a blank eye, "Teacher Chen, just tell me what to learn!" ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, I didn't try to persuade you to answer, it was very difficult for me to do it.

However, the little girl is young after all, only 16 or 7 years old, although she is relatively tender on the surface, but her actual age is 27 or 8, so she can't worry about her.

Then he took a deep breath and said to her, "You should study literature." ”

If it weren't for the fact that there was no journalism or media major in the professional textbooks that were salvaed, she would definitely not have been allowed to study literature.

Now the closest to the host is the literature major.

Of course, this is more just an excuse, and in the end, she will be sent to the journalism major when she applies for the volunteer examination.

The best journalism major this year, which is about the journalism department of Peking University, can graduate from here, and then have her own guidance, Chen Fan believes that her future must be bright.

Regarding Chen Fan's suggestion, Liu Dan didn't say anything, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I will study literature hard." ”

She is still secretly happy in her heart, isn't literature just language, Mr. Chen is recognized as the "first pen in Gufeng County", with him as a teacher, can she learn her literature poorly?

It has to be!

At this time, Chen Fan said, "In addition to literature, you must also learn English well." ”

Liu Dan couldn't help but be confused, "I also want to learn English?" ”

What is literature about English?

Chen Fan nodded, and said as a matter of course, "The best broadcaster, that must be broadcasting to the whole world, you don't know English, how can you mobilize foreign people living in dire straits?" ”

Liu Dan immediately realized, "Okay, I'll learn!" ”

Chen Fan looked at Jiang Lili for the last time.

Without waiting for him to speak, Jiang Lili raised her hand weakly, "I will learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and I will also learn English well to contribute to the development of the country!" ”
