Not only did the new group leader not rush Yu Wentao, but he also said that he had been troubled by Captain Geng recently. It was hard for his aunt to take care of the two children by herself, and she also had to do laundry and cooking.
The more polite the new leader is to Yu Wentao, the more embarrassed he becomes to stay: "The third child said don't worry."
"Then we'll stay for a week." Ye Fan looked at Geng Huihui, "I have never seen the sea. I told her that I would bring her here after the college entrance examination. I was so excited that I almost lost my temper during the exam."
Yu Wentao: "She has always wanted to come here to play. By the way, where is Benben?"
Ye Fan: "I hate the heat and say I can't bear the pain. I feel like I've heard this said by someone."
Dabao shook his head: "It's not me!"
Ye Fan glanced at him and asked her mother-in-law what was available in the kitchen.
Yu Wentao first said that she made a lot of noodles in the morning and originally wanted to dry them and eat them slowly, but she didn't expect Ye Fan to come back so soon. Then she said that Ye Fan could eat whatever he wanted.
Ye Fan knew from her tone that she wanted to eat seafood boiled noodles, otherwise he wouldn't have told her about her hard work rolling out the noodles, "Let's eat seafood braised noodles. I'll buy some seafood."
Yu Wentao couldn't help but ask: "Seafood can also be stewed in noodles?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Okay. It saves trouble to stew the noodles, no need to stir-fry."
After washing away his fatigue with hot water, Ye Fan went to the vegetable market. Dabao and Erbao missed her because they were separated from their mother for such a long time for the first time. One of them held her hands, and the other brother and sister held a small basket in the other hand.
The next morning, Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiqin to take Geng Huihui, Dabao and Erbao to the beach for swimming. There was a boat on the sea at this time, and Ye Fan was not worried that several children would be blown away by the waves and no one would be able to rescue them.
Ye Fan and her mother-in-law put away the unused things, and then Yu Wentao rested at home while Ye Fan went to the village to find a beekeeper to buy honey.
The beekeeper left four bottles for Ye Fan. Ye Fan gave him money but he didn't accept it. Ye Fan said he didn’t want any more honey. The beekeeper immediately collected the money and said that if she wanted to eat honey in the future, she would send him a letter. He asked the worker from the food factory to deliver the honey to the capital to deliver it to her.
Ye Fan smiled and nodded, saying that honey was not easy to sell, so he told her that as long as he could guarantee the quality of the honey, she could help him sell as much as he wanted.
After hearing this, the beekeeper immediately felt that he was secure for the rest of his life and couldn't help but send Ye Fan to the entrance of the village.
When Ye Fan got home, she said to her mother-in-law: "Let's keep two bottles and give two bottles to my mother."
Tao Chunlan has a son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and Chen Xiaohui. The family population is no less than that of the Geng family, so Yu Wentao does not think Ye Fan is biased.
Five days later, Geng Huihui hadn’t had enough fun with her tanning session, but it was time to go back.
On the morning before leaving, Geng Huihui took a bucket to the entrance of the vegetable market to buy half a bucket of river crabs. The villager selling vegetables asked: "There are no river crabs in the north?"
Geng Huihui: "Yes. But the ones in the wet market are not as expensive as those on the island."
Erbao came jumping up and down, and the villager selling river fresh food gave her a cantaloupe. Erbao shook his head: "There are a lot of them in my yard. Do you want some vegetables? Give them to the people buying vegetables. My mother invites many people to come to my house to pick vegetables and pick melons."
Ye Fan's yard has a full range of vegetables, but because the villagers respect her, it's hard to get them from her. After hearing Erbao's words, she thought that she would never have the chance to do so in the future. The villager asked her neighbor to look after the stall for her, and she went over to take a look. The neighbor hurriedly said: "Let's see if there is any coriander."
The person selling river fresh food helped Geng Huihui carry the bucket back with Erbao.
Ye Fan took his pots and pans into the yard and asked the villagers picking vegetables: "I'll scald them in boiling water and make them clean. Do you want them?"
Villager: "Leave it to the new leader."
Ye Fan was embarrassed, after all, he had used it at home. I asked the villagers if they wanted it because I knew they wouldn't mind. "I didn't ask for it. Don't pull out the vegetables."
"I know, leave some for the new leader."
After she finished speaking, the new team leader came in and asked her if she wanted to help.
Ye Fan looked at the pots and pans in front of him, and then at the villagers who were pretending to be mute, and could only ask himself: "You can't take these tableware away with you. I just scalded them with boiling water. Do you think?"
The new leader is not fat, but has a lot of flesh on his face. He looks very kind. He smiles and says: "Give it to me, so you don't have to buy it."
"Then shall I put it back?" Ye Fan asked.
The new leader helped her put the pots back and move the pots and pans into the house. The new leader looked at the clean tables, chairs and benches, then at the clean floors and walls, and said to himself that his house had never been so clean in his life.
"When will we set off?" asked the new leader: "Should I ask someone to take you to the pier?"
Ye Fan: "I will leave as soon as my lover comes back."
The new leader always felt that there was one person missing. Hearing this, he suddenly realized: "Where is Captain Geng?"
"Dabao wants to say goodbye to his classmates. Geng Zhiye is afraid that he will forget to play, so he will accompany him personally." Ye Fan was speechless when talking about this, "I said goodbye to each of them a few days ago, and I went again today. I don't know why he was so busy. ”
The new group leader smiled and said, "Dabao has been here for several years, so it's hard to leave him." Hearing someone ask, "Where's Accountant Ye?" The new group leader probably came to see her off, so he reminded Ye Fan to go out and take a look.
When Ye Fan arrived at the courtyard, Su Yuanhang and Su Duofu also arrived. One of them bought Ye Fan's fan and the other bought Ye Fan's bicycle. They gave the money. Ye Fan had already packed up the bicycle and fan and asked the two of them to take them away.
Su Duofu asked the new group leader: "Shall we send Accountant Ye to the dock first and pick it up later?"
The new group leader smiled and said it would be okay to pick it up in the afternoon.
When Geng Zhiye came back with Dabao, the villagers helped Ye Fan carry things, but Ye Fan himself had nothing in his hands and only a satchel with food and drink on him.
Dabao's eyes were red, and Ye Fan held his hand: "It's only when we're apart that we get together."
"The capital is so far away, when can we get together?" Dabao only thought of this this morning, thinking that he would never see her again, so he went to see his friend for the last time.
Ye Fan: "In the future, there will be a guest house on the island. How many days will mom bring you to stay here every winter and summer vacation?"
Dabao's eyes lit up and he went to the Shanxi Administrative Village Secretary. The secretary is also here, and it can be said that all the villagers who have interacted with Ye Fan several times are here. The secretary noticed that Dabao was looking at him and said: "After two years, I will build a guest house after saving money."
Ye Fan: "You can also ask your good friend to study hard and get into the same university as you."
Dabao looked for his classmates again. His classmates hid behind their parents and elders. Dabao let go of his mother and ran over, grabbing his best friend: "What are you hiding from? Did you hear what my mother said?"
"You are so good at studying, but the school you can get into is definitely out of my reach."
Dabao: "Can't you study hard? I go to bed at eight o'clock in the evening, and you go to bed at nine o'clock. I get up at six o'clock in the morning, and you get up at five o'clock. Just study a few hours more than me."
"Am I lazy? Am I stupid?"
Dabao: "I don't think you are stupid!"
"If you don't think I'm stupid, then I'm smart?"
Dabao was speechless.
Ye Fan came over and said, "Dabao, if you have anything to say, I'll tell you in the letter later. You can also send the information to your classmates."
Dabao's good friend looked horrified. Can he understand Dabao's study materials? Accountant Ye really thinks highly of him!
Dabao nodded: "Mom's idea is good." He patted his classmate on the shoulder and said, "That's it. I'll write to you when I get to the capital."
His good friend couldn't help but say: "Geng Dabao, if you make new friends in the capital, just forget about me."
The boy’s mother slapped him on the head: “You’re worthless!”
"You are the reason why you are worthless." The young man ran forward, far away from his mother, and shouted confidently, "I don't think you are not as good as Accountant Ye, but you have the nerve to dislike me!"
The boy's mother frowned: "Who did you learn it from? It wasn't like this before."
Dabao immediately said: "It's not me! Brother Liao! Brother learned it from Sister Miao Miao."
It's a pity that Brother Liao moved away.
During the days when Ye Fan was taking the college entrance examination in the capital, Brother Liao graduated from junior high school and his younger sister graduated from elementary school. Liao Miaomiao was at home for the holidays, so Zhuang Qiuyue asked her children to help her clean up.
On the day before leaving, Zhuang Qiuyue said goodbye to Ye Fan's family. Yu Wentao said that Ye Fan had gone back to the capital to pick up Geng Huihui because Geng Huihui had always wanted to come over for a few days and would not have the chance if she didn't come this year.
Liao Miaomiao went to Ye Fan's house during the winter vacation last year to see her preparing for the exam, but Miaomiao said nothing to anyone. Zhuang Qiuyue couldn't imagine what Ye Fan was going to do back at this time, so she believed Wen Tao's words.
Zhuang Qiuyue's family and Wan Siqin's family set off on the same day and on the same bus because their destinations were both Shanghai.
The day before Ye Fan came back, Liu Guihua had just finished moving - from the island to the city to be close to each other. Except for the bed and wardrobe, which couldn't be moved, she took all the odds and ends with her.
Dabao dared to say this because they were all gone and couldn't confront him.
Dabao’s classmate’s mother felt that Dabao was a good boy and had no doubts about him, so she complained that Zhuang Qiuyue didn’t know how to teach her children.
Yu Wentao helped: "Her little sisters are more sensible than her."
A few years later, fishermen close to the family area all knew that Liao Miaomiao went to the hospital that year because of suicide. Ye Fan and Liu Guihua did not help Zhuang Qiuyue to hide her. Everyone also knew that Zhuang Qiuyue changed her daughter's ambition and did not go to the three-year normal college instead of the four-year agricultural college.
Once the other villagers saw that Ye Fan didn't stop her mother-in-law, they boldly expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhuang Qiuyue.
It's not a big deal, it's just that Zhuang Qiuyue is good at talking and being polite to others. Come to think of it, no one has ever eaten a candy from her family.
For example, Wan Siqin doesn't interact with people very much, and no one complains that she values things very precious. Liu Guihua was equally hospitable. When fishermen met Liu Guihua coming back from the city, Liu Guihua would grab a handful of candies and give them to them, even if she was bleeding from her heartache, no one would notice.
Zhuang Qiuyue said she would eat at my house, but when she actually went to her house, no one else had eaten her food except Xiaoshan, Xiaocao, Dabao and Erbao.
Zhuang Qiuyue gave Dabao candies, which Dabao exchanged for toffee. Erbao took two small loaves of bread and ate half of them himself, leaving one and a half for the three children of the Liao family.
Erbao has no idea that things are precious.
Dabao and Erbao have never complained about Zhuang Qiuyue being a stingy person. Ye Fan has always thought that Zhuang Qiuyue was good in other aspects except that she was blindly supervising the children.
Ye Fan listened to everyone's "crusade" against Zhuang Qiuyue, and unknowingly arrived at the dock. She stopped and asked Geng Zhiye with her eyes, do you know these things.
Geng Zhiye shook his head and put things into the passenger ship.
Ye Fan saw Su Duofu coming up: "Don't come up."
"I'll take you to the bus station." Su Duofu said with a smile, "It's so tiring to walk to the bus stop with so many things."
Su Yuanhang nodded and said, "I'll take you to the station too. Accountant Ye, don't be polite to us."
The villagers in Shanxi Village were about to ask how they could get so many things to the train station. When they heard what the two of them said, they immediately said: "Accountant Ye, ask them to give it to you. If you hadn't come up with the idea to build a food factory, how would Duofu have the chance to be the factory director?" . If Yuanhang didn’t have his own salary, he wouldn’t have dared to stay home for several months to prepare for the exam.”
Su Duofu and Su Yuanhang nodded repeatedly.
The new regiment leader who escorted Geng Zhiye to the dock said to himself that it turned out that the villagers were so polite not because Geng Zhiye was an officer, nor because Ye Fan was the general's daughter.
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Then I will listen to you."
The secretary of Shanxi was very happy: "Just listen to us. Accountant Ye, when you come back, we will definitely ask you to stay in the guest house we built ourselves."
The villager added: "How many rooms will I leave for you? You can come and stay whenever you want."
Su Duofu: "Look at all of you being stingy. When you make money in the future, you can build a small courtyard for Accountant Ye."
In order to make a lot of money in the future, everyone praised Su Duofu for his good idea.
When the new captain saw such a harmonious scene, he immediately felt a lot of pressure. It was not easy for him to be the governor of Hengshan Island.
No matter how difficult it is to tolerate, we must say goodbye after sending you thousands of miles apart.
The passenger ship sailed towards the other side, and Ye Fan's family left.
Because Ye Fan started a food factory, paid off foreign debts, and had savings, the eyes of the villagers who dared to go to the health center to buy medicine when they were sick were red-eyed. Geng Dabao's good friend, deskmate, and classmate finally realized that it would be difficult to see him again in the future, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Dabao was very excited: "Mom, can you come during winter vacation this year?"
Ye Fan: "Speaking of vacation, mom was just going to ask you if you want to repeat the grade."
"Repeat another grade?" Dabao was very unhappy.
Geng Zhiqin: "The textbooks in the capital are different from those here."
Dabao was shocked: "Isn't the whole country unified?"
Su Yuanhang shook his head: "Not even elementary school textbooks. You will have to make up a lot when you go to the capital."
Erbao quickly asked: "Where am I?"
Ye Fan: "You won't be in fourth grade until autumn, what's the point of reading a few books?"
The second baby was very unhappy when his mother squeezed him. He squeezed into his grandma’s arms and said, “We ignore her.”
If Yu Wentao wasn't worried that she would cry in anger, he would have said, "People are ignoring you." Yu Wentao asked: "Huihui, have you brought the crabs you bought?"
Su Duofu: "Take it. Keep it here with me. If you like it, I'll ask someone to bring you a few boxes until winter."
Yu Wentao didn't dare to make the decision without authorization and couldn't help but look at Ye Fan. Ye Fan said to Su Duofu: "I will ask the deliveryman to deliver a letter to you then."
Su Yuanhang always wanted to ask but couldn't find the opportunity: "Accountant Ye, how did you do in the exam?"
Ye Fan: "It's not a big problem!"
Su Duofu also knew about Ye Fan taking the college entrance examination. Hearing this, he exclaimed: "Beijing University?! As expected of Accountant Ye! I feel that if anyone on our island can go to Beijing University, that person must be you!"< br>
Why does this sound so comfortable? Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh, "It's a pity that the major is, to be fair, a jack-of-all-trades. I can take any liberal arts position after graduation. To be fair, it's not my favorite major."
Su Yuanhang: "It's not like you can only study one major. Go to university and learn more about it. It's not too late to study another one if you like it."
Su Duofu couldn't help but ask: "Is there any other choice?"
Su Yuanhang nodded.
Su Duofu: "If both of them study well, will they have more choices than others when it comes to allocation?"
"That's the theory." Su Yuanhang said.
Su Duofu said thoughtfully: "It seems that I still have to let my daughter go to college. If she doesn't pass the exam in the first year, she will study for another year. If she doesn't pass the exam in the third year, she will be asked to come back and sail." Su Yuanhang I was speechless and wanted to laugh: "How stupid is your daughter? She has to take the exam three times after going to high school?"
Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui couldn't help but nod when they heard this.
Su Duofu said to herself, she is not as good at reading as you. But if you think about it carefully, if you are not good at English or mathematics, you can memorize them by rote. His daughter is not stupid. If she can't memorize it once, she will memorize it twice. If she can't do it twice, she will copy it. She will read the textbook thoroughly. If she can't get into a key university, can she still fail to get into an unpopular major in an ordinary university?
Thinking of this, Su Duofu felt much more relaxed.
With their help, Geng Zhiye is very strong, Ye Fan, Geng Zhiqin and Yu Wentao can all carry things. Geng Huihui can watch Dabao and Erbao by herself, and can also carry small things, so the group arrived at the train without much delay. stand.
After Su Duofu and Su Yuanhang left, Yu Wentao couldn't help but said to Geng Zhiqin: "The people on the island are very nice."
Geng Zhiqin: "Because my sister-in-law can help them make money. I used to pinch them very hard."
Dabao nodded: "I often fight over a little water or food. My classmate said so."
Yu Wentao was surprised: "So cool?"
Ye Fan put his things away and sat down opposite Yu Wentao, "The people on the island are tougher than the people on the mainland. The seventy or eighty-year-old old man in the village has fought against pirates."
"Pirates?" Yu Wentao felt strange. He had only seen it in movies and scripts.
Ye Fan nodded: "I'm talking about pirates. But they are all pretending to be foreign troops and businessmen. Who made us rich in land and resources before, but we didn't have guns."
Dabao blurted out: "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun!"
Ye Fan grabbed his little face and said, "That's wrong. Now the country's system is very good and the political power is stable. It's not suitable to use this sentence. The truth is only within the range of a cannon."
Dabao looked at his dad, is that so?
Geng Zhiye nodded: "When we become strong, we will be friends all over the world. If we are still as weak as before, we will be enemies all around."
Dabao seems to know what to study in college in the future. But when I thought about what my mother said, many majors were not open in the past because of the lack of teachers and equipment, I decided to listen to my mother and repeat the first year of junior high school to give the country an extra year to prepare.
Dabao leaned on his mother and saw the bucket in front of him, "Sister Huihui, you seem to have escaped."
"Don't eat it when you get home!" Geng Huihui opened the porcelain basin attached to the bucket and saw a basin sitting in the bucket. There were several sea fish in the basin. "Grandma, these fish won't cover the smell, right?"
Yu Wentao: "I rubbed a lot of salt on it and it won't work."
Geng Zhiqin asked: "How can we eat when we go back?"
Yu Wentao: "Wash away the salt with warm water, put more vegetables in the braised fish without adding salt, and add some vermicelli to absorb the soup, so the fish will not be salty. Besides, salted fish is delicious."
Geng Zhiqin felt that her mother was not as good at eating as her sister-in-law, so she asked Ye Fan if this was okay.
Ye Fan: "Isn't there three fish? Try one first."
Geng Huihui was surprised: "Don't give it to my grandma?"
If Ye Fan didn't know that this child was not intended to be given to her grandma from the beginning, she would feel unhappy when she heard this. Ye Fan smiled and said: "I won't give her the fish. One fish won't be enough for your grandma and the whole family to eat."
Geng Huihui nodded: "My cousins are all here. If my grandma and grandpa eat a fish head and a fish tail, they are considered filial!"
Ye Fan laughed and said, "It's early on the way. Do you want to find a place to sleep for a while?"
Yu Wentao: "Sleep on me."
Geng Huihui felt it was too hot and found that the seat on the other side of the aisle was empty, so she pulled Geng Zhiqin over and occupied a row. It looked like she was at home. She stood up as soon as she saw the conductor approaching. Upon seeing this, Geng Zhiye told them to sleep peacefully. When the car stopped, someone came up and he called them.
With Geng Zhiye's words, the two felt at ease. They slept for a few hours during the day and a few more hours at night. They were almost not tired when they got off the car the next afternoon.
Yu Wentao, Dabao and Erbao also look good. The eldest baby slept in his father's arms all night, and the second baby sat on his mother's lap and slept all night.
Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye looked at each other and smiled bitterly as they watched the old and young running to the bus stop carrying bags. Geng Zhiye took Ye Fan's hand: "Let them do the laundry and cook when we get home, and we will catch up on our sleep."
"It's okay if someone cleans the house. If the second sister-in-law has never been back and no one has lived in the house for so long, we will be busy."
Geng Zhiye: "You rest, I will take care of you."
Ye Fan smiled and nodded: "The car is here, let's get in first."
Not long after getting on the bus, Ye Fan fell asleep leaning against Geng Zhiye. She subconsciously knew that she didn't have to worry about her child getting lost or being abducted on the bus, so she couldn't hold on until she relaxed.
Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui were chatting quietly in front of Geng Zhiye. Dabao and Erbao were chatting hotly behind them, pointing at the buildings in the capital. Hundreds of flies were buzzing in Geng Zhiye's ears. Geng Zhiye was upset: "We'll talk about it when we get home."
Dabao wanted to say, I didn't make any noise, but he looked ahead - his mother was asleep, and he couldn't help but muttered: "Can't you talk properly?"
Geng Zhiye turned back and glared at him. Dabao was so scared that he covered his mouth and whispered: "You can tell me that mom is asleep. I'm not ignorant."
Geng Zhiye: "Why do you think your mother is so sleepy?"
Dabao: "Mom didn't sleep at night? Mom couldn't sleep on the train?"
"Why do you think I didn't sleep last night?"
Dabao shook his head.
"Because if I let go of my hand while I was asleep, you would fall to the ground!" Geng Zhiye said angrily.
Dabao turned to look at Erbao, "Mom is here to take care of you."
Erbao pursed his lips and shook his head, stop talking.
There was no words all the way. Dabao couldn't hold it in anymore. He got out of the car and ran home with his bag. When he got to the door and wanted to unlock it, he lightly touched the door and it opened. Dabao was so surprised that he shouted behind him: "Dad, there is a thief at grandma's house." .”
Yu Wentao was so frightened that she rushed over carrying large and small bags as if fleeing. When she reached the door, she met Geng Benben running out of the house. They looked at each other and realized that something had happened. Geng Benben realized later: "Grandma? Are you back? It's just you and Dabao?"
Geng Huihui ran over: "There are still us. Dabao, please see clearly later before calling someone!"
Dabao apologized and said weakly: "I didn't know that Brother Benben was at home."
Geng Benben didn't want to come to her grandma's house at first. Last weekend, her mother took a rest at her grandma's house. She said that it was time to come back and she would come over to tidy up the house.
Geng Benben and his mother returned to grandma's house and found that there was an advantage to having no one at grandma's house. They bought a big watermelon on the roadside for a few cents, cut it in half, ate half in the morning and half in the afternoon. Grandma's house also had a fan on the ground. He slept on the mat from morning to afternoon and no one bothered him.
Geng Benben told his grandmother that while he was waiting for his sister and aunt at home, he would pay attention to his sister's notice - Geng Huihui's wish was written at the address of the Geng family's old home.
Regarding the notice, Geng Benben's grandma couldn't refuse, so she brought him some food, asked him to heat it up with a rice cooker at noon, and then sent him to the bus.
Geng Benben is fourteen years old and can do many things by himself. He lit the stove because he thought the rice cooker was slow to heat up. Geng Benben opened the two doors and asked grandma if she wanted to drink water. He boiled water.
He went to the main room and put away the mats on the floor, pointing to the big watermelon in the corner: "I bought it, grandma, do you want to eat it?"
Geng Huihui saw an enamel jar on the ground, which seemed to be filled with soda: "My childhood was quite cool."
"Then -" Geng Benben saw his uncle and his aunt coming in, and he immediately didn't dare to talk. He went out to pick up the things his aunt was carrying, and saw the bucket in his uncle's hand, "Why are you still taking the bucket and basin? They are not valuable. .”
Geng Huihui ran over and took away the porcelain basin covered with the bucket. Geng Benben opened her eyes wide and swallowed back what she wanted to say. She went back to the house and grabbed a handful of change that was still on the table. "Sister, I will go to grandma's house to get some clothes. Tell grandma today." It’s too late to go back.”
Geng Zhiye: "Stop!"
Geng Benben wanted to cry: "Uncle, I——"
"Get some for your grandma." Geng Zhiye took out the basin sitting in the bucket and asked Geng Huihui to find a small basket. Geng Zhiye picked out the crabs that were still moving and put them in.
Geng Benben squatted aside and recited silently. When it was "twelfth", he called out, "It's just right that there are so many people in my grandma's family."
The river crabs raised by the villagers in the ponds and ditches were not as big as the sea crabs. Twelve of them could not cover the grate for steaming the steamed buns in the steel pot. Geng Zhiye added six more, and Geng Benben picked up the basket: "That's enough!"
< br>
Geng Zhiye asked Geng Huihui to accompany him.
Since Geng Benben ventilated every room at home, Ye Fan washed his face and wiped his neck before going back to the house to sleep. By about seven o'clock, the crabs and rice were steamed, and the braised fish stew was ready.
The next day, Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye led Dabao and Erbao to Ye's house.
Ye Fan opened the refrigerator to get something to drink and saw crabs: "Didn't you eat them?"
Tao Chunlan: "Eat half and save the other half for dinner. I called your brother and your sister-in-law. They will come back for dinner in the evening."
"It's not a good thing." Ye Fan couldn't help but say, "If you like it, I'll go back to the countryside and have a look."
Chen Xiaohui said: "There are none in the countryside. If there are in the countryside, the river crabs in the wet market cannot be priced at the same price as the fish."
"Country people may not know that river crabs can be sold for money." Ye Fan said, his eyes lit up, "It's time for my mother-in-law to go back to her parents' house to have a look. I'll send her over later to ask."
Chen Xiaohui skipped the matter as soon as she heard that it was easy to get there and asked: "Have you received the notice?"
Ye Fan shook his head.
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but said: "Will it slip? You shouldn't apply for Peking University when you take the college entrance examination for the first time."
Tao Chunlan nodded: "You have to work and take care of your eldest and second children, so how can you have time to review? You also fill in the popular majors. You are so caring! Is it your mother-in-law's idea?"
Chen Xiaohui: "Needless to say. She has always disliked me. I did better than Xiaoqin in the exam. She is unhappy. She must ask Ye Fan to apply to Beijing University!"
Geng Zhiye wanted to say something but didn't want to talk to her, so he simply pretended not to hear her.
After lunch, at four or five o'clock, Geng Zhiye said that the clothes were not washed and the house was not tidied up, so he asked Ye Fan and the two children to go back.
When they arrived at Geng's alley, Geng Zhiye said: "Your mother is going to become Chen Xiaohui No. 2!"
"Mom cares about chaos." Ye Fan did not refute what her mother and Chen Xiaohui said that morning, and it was not too late to explain after receiving the notice.
Three days later, the postman appeared in the alley and shouted at the door of Geng's house: "Aunt Yu!"
The neighbor heard the postman's voice and came out to ask if there was any letter for them. The postman said: "Wait a moment!"
"Is your letter from Aunt Yu important?"
The postman pulled out two admission notices. The neighbor was confused at first, then realized something and ran over, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Yu Wentao, come out quickly!"
Other neighbors were curious when they heard the noise and came out to ask what happened. The neighbor loudly said: "Fanfan and Huihui have been admitted to college!"
When Ye Fan and Geng Huihui took the college entrance examination, they were able to hide it from Tao Chunlan, who was a few miles away from Geng's home, but they couldn't hide it from their neighbors - neighbors might pass by the examination room while walking to buy groceries and work, so it was difficult not to be seen by them.
When Ye Fan and Geng Huihui came out, the neighbor urged them to open it quickly. When he saw that it was Beijing University, the neighbor ignored his letter and asked Geng Benben, "Are there any firecrackers at home?"
Geng Benben was confused when asked. The neighbor thought there was no firecracker and asked his son to take out the leftover firecrackers from the New Year.
Other neighbors also went to the house to get firecrackers and set them off for a long time. Then everyone in the neighborhood knew that the Geng family had two college students, and Ye Fanfan was admitted to Peking University.
Adults and children from the neighbors crowded at the door of Geng's house, asking Ye Fan how he passed the exam, not bothering to worry about being exposed to the sun in the dog days of summer.
Ye Fan was confused, and Geng Zhiye wondered why he was fighting harder than when he was admitted to the military academy. Is this the treatment at the highest academic institution in the country?
Geng Zhiye said: "Let's talk inside the house? It's quite hot outside."
The neighbor saw Ye Fan's face turned red and asked her to come in. Geng Huihui was pushed aside. Geng Huihui saw that the notice in her hand was no longer fragrant, and complained to her sister-in-law: "If I had known earlier, I would have written my grandma's home address."
Geng Zhiqin took the notice: "Two years ago, there were several college students in our area. Even without your aunt, your notice is not rare. Besides, your aunt is an outsider? Her school has a lot of subsidies, and she also Can I lose you?”
"That's right. My aunt is so relaxed that she doesn't want to leave the money she made today to tomorrow." Geng Huihui was very happy.
When the neighbor finally left, Geng Huihui asked: "Auntie, are you going to buy some meat?"
Ye Fan: "Pork in the city requires tickets."
Geng Huihui forgot: "But the fish is not as fresh as the ones on the island."
"I will go to my mother's house tomorrow and send your grandma back to the village to stay for a few days the day after tomorrow. Then you and your sister-in-law will come with me. We will go to the countryside to buy." Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye, "When will you start school?"
Geng Zhiye: "I went to school on August 20. But I seem to have forgotten to tell my mother-in-law that she is not coming back for vacation this time?"
The couple thought about it carefully, and Ye Fan really didn't say anything about going to Ye's house a few days earlier. Tao Chunlan probably thought he was on vacation and didn't ask.
Dabao and Erbao saw that their parents looked strange and wanted to stay at home with their grandma the next day. In fact, they didn't want to go to Ye's house with their parents and get scolded.
It was a coincidence that the next day happened to be the weekend. Ye Qian was at home, and Li Mingyue was also at home. Geng Zhiye asked Ye Fan to take out the notice first to make his mother-in-law and his family happy.
When Chen Xiaohui heard that Ye Fan was admitted to Beijing University, her head was spinning, but no one noticed that she looked wrong. Ye Fan was surrounded by his brothers and sisters, Tao Chunlan's attention was on the notice, and Geng Zhiye was thinking about how to confess later.
No one paid attention to Liang Liang, so Liang Liang looked for her sister-in-law. Chen Xiaohui came to her senses and took Liang Liang's little hand to play with her. In fact, she lowered her head to hide her discomfort and asked: "Which major is it?"
Ye Fan: "Just a general major, Chinese language and literature."
One of Peking University's top majors, the teachers are all famous figures from before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is not ordinary. Chen Xiaohui is tired, she can't compare, she really can't compare.
Chen Xiaohui didn't dare to raise her head, fearing that her laughter would be worse than her tears: "It's more popular than my major."
Tao Chunlan couldn't help but said: "Finally admit that your major is not popular? But it is still more popular than archeology. Fortunately, you didn't major in archeology. If you don't want to enter an institution after graduation, you can still be a history teacher."
Tao Chunlan had said this before, and Chen Xiaohui thought she didn't understand her own ambitions and ignored her. Now when she heard this, she felt that Tao Chunlan thought she was not as sensible as Ye Fan.
But Ye Fan's school is better than hers, and Ye Fan is smarter than her. Compared with these, it doesn't matter if she really dislikes her for being ignorant.
Chen Xiaohui felt uncomfortable, but she was not afraid of Ye Fan seeing it: "You love doing business so much, I thought it was impossible for you to sign up for this major."
Ye Fan: "Beijing University does not offer economics. It did before, but it was discontinued for more than ten years. In the past ten years, it was also a planned economy, which led to the economics teachers almost giving back to the school what they knew before."
Speaking of majors, Geng Zhiye already wanted to complain: "She still wants to apply for law. Ye Fanfan, are you planning to continue to exploit loopholes in laws and regulations? Fortunately, she didn't!"
