Danqing

With the start of the second semester, there were more activities, and Chen Kezhi began to participate in various planning to prepare for the application for the membership of the next session.At the same time, I started to set up a group to recruit members to find professors to guide me to do financial topics. I was so busy that I could not use the day as 48 hours.

Qin Songxue chose science. English didn’t affect him that much. His grades remained in the middle of the class, neither high nor low. Physics and mathematics were especially good, but because there was no systematic training, the physics competition was not even close to provincial three. I didn't touch it, so I went to make a soy sauce.

Chen Kezhi asked Tan Songxue if anyone in the class had confessed to him. Tan Songxue pouted and said that he was still the shortest in the class, and everyone treated him like a child, and no one liked him.

Chen Kezhi laughed out loud, and Tan Songxue beat him angrily.

As for some aspects of demand, Chen Kezhi has been reluctant to do a full set for more than a year. On the one hand, Yi Xiuyun is always watching at home, and on the other hand, Chen Kezhi does not want to hurt Tan Songxue again.And Qin Songxue also had some shadows, after all, the price of lying in bed for three days was really too high.

Life in high school is very fulfilling, and time flies by. When Qin Songxue measured his height again, he found that he was already 171, and he was already in the third year of high school at that time.

A few years ago, Qin Songxue had already transferred her household registration, so she had to transfer to province G in the second semester of her senior year of high school. The mother of the school, Qin Songxue, had already contacted Qin Songxue in the last semester of her senior year of high school, and her student status had already been transferred there. Filled is also there.Because of Tan Songxue's grades, getting into school was not particularly difficult.

And Tan Songxue and Chen Kezhi are about to experience the first separation in their lives.

This year's Chinese New Year is going to be more lively, Yi Xiuyun still hasn't returned home, and is planning to stay in city n alone, Father Qin said that it's fine if we go back to celebrate the New Year together, it's strange to be alone, Yi Xiuyun immediately said, okay , He hasn't celebrated the New Year with others for a long time.

Qin's mother was busy until noon on New Year's Eve before she was sent home by the driver. The county she works in is a large industrial county in city S. She has a lot of work at the end of the year, and there are endless meetings. As the leader, she can't be absent. The time for family members is naturally less.Tan Songxue said that if the work is too tiring, he might as well quit his job. Anyway, the family is not short of money, so just let his father earn it.

Qin's mother smiled and said that she would retire when he grew up and had a stable job.

Yi Xiuyun wanted to book a room in the hotel, but Tan's father refused, saying that it would be inconvenient to live outside during the Chinese New Year, so he tidied up Qin Songxue's room and let him live in.So this New Year's Eve, Tan Songxue still shares the bed with Chen Kezhi. Chen Kezhi didn't want to do this at first. The two of them have ghosts in their hearts. Lying naked together, they will inevitably do something, but they are afraid of being spotted, and act cautiously. , it's a bit respectful to each other.It was already unexpected to be forced to come out in front of Yi Xiuyun before, and Qin Songxue is in his third year of high school, and if something else happens, it may ruin his life.

"Hey, sister-in-law, let me steam it, you go to rest, don't be tired just after getting off work, or the fourth brother should feel distressed again..." Yi Xiuyun has already rushed to take the eight-treasure rice in Chen's mother's hand while talking, Don't let Qin's mother touch it.

Qin's mother was a little embarrassed, and refused: "What are you talking about, you are a guest..."

"It's okay. I never treat myself as an outsider. Anyway, it's the Chinese New Year. It's interesting when everyone is busy. Go watch TV, and if you need help... the fourth brother is writing couplets. He will definitely be happy for you to help him post them. Hurry up." Go, go quickly." Yi Xiuyun put the eight-treasure rice into the steamer and started to chase people away.

Qin's mother smiled at the two people in the kitchen, tied her sideburn hair behind her ears, and said, "Call me if you need anything, I'll be outside."

Chen's mother thought that Yi Xiuyun was just here to show off, but she didn't expect to do it in a serious manner. The knife skills are especially good, much better than Chen's mother.

"My family is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Huaiyang cuisine pays attention to this. There is a dish called Wensi Tofu, which is tofu cut into shreds and boiled. I loved it when I was a child, but now there is no chance to eat authentic ones." Mother Chen asked When Yi Xiuyun was here, Yi Xiuyun replied like this.

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what a great place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters... Province J has had too many sandstorms in recent years, and the climate is also dry. If you go out in winter, your face will be cracked when the wind blows."

Yi Xiuyun smiled: "Indeed, I stayed in the imperial capital after graduating from university. The climate is not very good, and the air is also bad. But it was good when I went to N city, and this place is also good. When I first came here, I still felt that it was too humid I’m not used to it without heating.”

"That's right... I was not used to it when I married Chen Anguo. The winter in the south is not as good as in the north. In the 90s, there was no air conditioner, and the charcoal fire smoked the whole house. Now the conditions are much better." Chen's mother recalled the past with some emotion.

"It's been 20 years, if it's still as good as before."

"That's not true. Don't tell me, these years have changed a lot. A few years ago, mobile phones were still a luxury. Now every student in our class has one."

Yi Xiuyun always had a smile on his face, and the corners of his eyes were crooked.

"Xiao Yi, if you don't have anyone together during the Chinese New Year, come with Xiaoqin and the others. There are so many people and it's lively." Mother Chen babbled, but what she said made people feel very warm.

"Okay, I'm afraid of causing trouble to you. Sister Qiao will do as long as she doesn't mind the trouble. I will come every year in the future."

Mother Chen actually had a lot of things she wanted to ask Yi Xiuyun, but it was difficult to ask too carefully when it came to other people's family affairs, so she could only mention it vaguely.

"Hey, the pot is boiling, the lid, the lid!" Mother Chen and Yi Xiuyun forgot to look at what was cooking in the pot while they were talking, and the water bubbled out all of a sudden, covering the stove.

"Oh, it's all my fault!" Yi Xiuyun was annoyed while wiping with a rag.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Chen's mother hurriedly said, "By the way, Chen Anguo has prepared the chicken. Xiaoqian said that your soup is good, why don't you get it?"

Yi Xiuyun happily said, "Okay."

"The chicken is in the refrigerator, it's not frozen, you can see it when you open it."

Yi Xiuyun took out the chicken and said, "This chicken looks good, doesn't it?"

"That's right. I managed to buy it at the market before the Chinese New Year. One of them sold for more than 100 yuan. Now it's so expensive to eat a dish during the Chinese New Year." When Chen's mother mentioned the skyrocketing prices, she was full of resentment.

"Everything is expensive now, except wages." Yi Xiuyun joked.

"Isn't there a joke to guess the riddle, raise the salary, and play an electrical appliance."

Yi Xiuyun thought for a while, but couldn't find the answer, and asked, "What is it?"

"Air conditioner."

After that, both of them laughed.

Mother Chen said again: "Xiao Yi, let's make the dishes lighter this time. I won't be able to eat them at home in a few days. The seasonings and other dishes outside are too heavy."

There are a lot of dinners during the Chinese New Year, especially when Father Chen is the deputy county magistrate. From the first day of the new year to the end of the Lantern Festival, he basically eats out every day. Mother Chen is very worried about Father Chen's health, so she chooses to cook at home. Come with health care.

When Yi Xiuyun heard Mother Chen say this, he immediately understood: "Okay...do you have mushrooms and red dates? By the way, there are also goji berries."

"It's all there, just wait and I'll get it for you."

The Chen family's purple casserole is a bit small, and it's a bit reluctant to stew a chicken.

"Use a pressure cooker."

"A pressure cooker?"

"Our family used to use that for stewing, what's wrong?"

"It can be used, but the ones stewed in a pressure cooker are not as fragrant as casserole."

……

"Xingmin, help me see if the couplet is upright?" Father Tan stood on the stool, holding the couplet with both hands and gesticulating against the door.

"A bit on the left side... that's right, eh, pass, pass, come down a bit, straighten, straighten, don't move." Mother Tan cut a small piece of tape on the side and handed it to Father Tan.

Father Chen was busy disemboweling the fish in the bathroom, while Tan Songxue and Chen Kezhi were watching TV in the living room, and there was no one around. Father Tan asked Mother Tan while posting couplets, "How's the project over there?"

"The bidding went smoothly, and the funds are also available..."

"How about the relocation?"

"Let's just leave it at that... I still disagree with the original team. They still want to build a new city. They say that half of the old city is on the mountain, and the traffic is inconvenient, and the urban construction is not easy to carry out."

Father Tan smiled sarcastically, and said, "How much money can they make by moving to another city?"

Qin's mother said helplessly, "I know." She couldn't stop this kind of thing.

"A group of moths, why didn't they be suppressed when we fought against corruption and uphold integrity." Qin's father never forgot that Qin's mother had a serious illness when she first became a secretary. Half of the illness was tired, and the other half was angry. . County x is a large industrial county, and the original team has benefited a lot. Qin's mother is a clean and honest official, so she was naturally excluded when she came, and most of the proposals proposed at the meeting were voted down.Fortunately, she acted swiftly and resolutely, and she had no way to catch her. After knocking the mountain and arresting the director of a certain bureau several times, she established her prestige and gained a firm foothold in the county.

"It's not always like that in that position. The discipline inspection committee in the county is all acquaintances, and the secretary... They all know when there is trouble. I was lucky to grab the director. There is no one behind him. Otherwise, how could I catch him down."

"Anyway, be careful yourself, and Chen Jianguo should move around more."

"I know that."

While talking, Qin Songxue took out a glass to drink water, and the two immediately changed the subject.

"Xingmin, the adhesive tape just now is no longer sticky, cut it a little more."

"Oh, okay."

Tan Songxue gave his parents a strange look, as if he didn't understand why the two of them suddenly spoke louder.

Half of the dishes for this day were cooked by Yi Xiuyun. During the years in N City, he went to the kitchen almost every day. Compared with before, his cooking skills have improved greatly. Generally speaking, the dishes are relatively light, mainly vegetarian dishes.

Chen's mother also asked some secrets of stewing soup, and planned to change to a big purple casserole, and cook some soup for Chen's father every week.While drinking the soup, Qin Songxue asked Yi Xiuyun why his soup was stewed so well.

Yi Xiuyun said that when he was studying in the imperial capital, his body was relatively weak, and drinking soup is good for him. It is better to cook it by himself than to go out to buy it every day.

Except for Chen Kezhi, the few present here didn't take his words seriously, and Yi Xiuyun himself laughed and passed.

On the first day of the new year, the Chen family took Yi Xiuyun to go shopping, and Qin's father and mother took Qin Songxue to Li's house to celebrate the New Year.

Yi Xiuyun had also heard about the mess in the Li family, and privately persuaded Father Tan not to make the relationship too rigid, and he still had to do superficial tricks.Tan's father said that they were good enough to the Li family. He could bear with the Li family's saying that he was a softie. No, it doesn't matter how much money you have, as long as you want it, but there is no sign of it.When Qin Songxue was in elementary school, Li Chao injured her eyes, and Li's family didn't say anything.

Yi Xiuyun said that no matter how angry he gets, don't let outsiders find out what's wrong, after all, others don't understand their family's situation.

Father Tan smoked a cigarette and said he knew.
