It's rare for a big family to be so neat, there are more than ten people, old and young.In order to entertain his sister-in-law, Liu Shuangshuang also cruelly killed the crowing rooster at home, made a table of dishes together, and even used Chen Zan's usual dried mushrooms.

Chen Zan sighed inwardly, he didn't know what his mother was thinking, but there were some things that couldn't be achieved even with hard work.

Liu Shuangshuang kept persuading Chen Xiaofang to eat food, so enthusiastic that even Chen Zan couldn't hold back, but she didn't want to refute her mother's face.But Chen Changlong couldn't stand it any longer: "Shuangshuang, Xiaofang knows how to eat, she's from her own family, so don't be so outspoken. You can eat by yourself."

Grandma gave Chen Zan and Chen Feng two grandchildren a chicken leg. Her intention was obvious. The grandson was more important than the granddaughter. In fact, Chen Min was the youngest child on the table.

Chen Zan looked at Chen Min, who was about to cry, and quickly put the chicken legs in the bowl to Chen Min: "Thank you grandma, I don't like chicken legs. Minmin, I'll eat it for you." In time, an explosion that was about to break out was stopped. confusion.

Zhang Mingli quickly comforted her daughter: "Minmin is good, thank you Brother Zan."

Chen Min laughed through tears, and while gnawing on the chicken leg, said vaguely: "Thank you Zan Duoduo."

Chen Changlong and Liu Shuangshuang looked at their sensible son and smiled gratifiedly.Grandpa also boasted: "Xiao Zan has grown up and is sensible."

Chen Zan lowered his head and gnawed on the chicken paw in silence.Seeing that her grandson didn't eat meat, grandma picked the meatiest part to eat, and hurriedly added a piece of breast meat to Chen Zan's bowl: "Xiao Zan eats chicken."

Chen Zan didn't like to eat chicken breasts the most, unless it was stir-fried diced chicken, he quickly left with a bowl: "Thank you grandma, you can eat it yourself, I will pick it up if I want to."

Chen Xiaofang laughed: "Chen Zan is much more sensible."

Liu Shuangshuang quickly said: "Xiao Fang, my Xiao Zan got No. 1 in the mid-term exam this year, and he will enter junior high school next year. How about letting him take the exam in your school?"

Chen Xiaofang paused, showing an uncomfortable smile: "Let's see when the time comes. In fact, as long as the grades are good, it doesn't matter which school you go to, and you don't have to go to the county town to go to school. Besides, although the teaching quality in the county town is better, it is tempting There are too many, and it is extremely easy to learn to be bad."

Chen Zan was listening, and looked at his aunt expressively. She didn't want to go by herself, and he didn't care about it. He didn't go to Chengguan Town to study in his previous life, and he still took the heavy exam in Beijing.

Chen Xiaofang was actually worried that her nephew would go to her school to study and live in her own home, which would cause a lot of inconvenience, so she didn't want to accept this matter.

Liu Shuangshuang quickly said: "That's true. But Xiao Zan is very obedient and sensible, and won't imitate bad things."

Of course, grandparents also hope that their daughter will help their family members, so grandma also said: "Xiaofang, your school is better after all, let Xiaozan go to study when the time comes."

Chen Xiaofang put down the bowls and chopsticks, and looked at her parents with some embarrassment: "Mom, it's not like you don't know that our school is full-time students and there is no dormitory. Xiao Zan can only come to live with me at that time. It just so happens that Ohara's niece will go to middle school next year. At that time, he will definitely live in my house. My house is only so wide, and Chen Zan is a boy, how do you ask me to arrange it? Do you want Chen Zan to rent a house outside?"

For a while, the adults were silent, and the originally lively atmosphere was a little depressing.Chen Zan opened his mouth to solve the problem for everyone: "Mom, when the time comes, I will be admitted to No. [-] Middle School, so I don't need to go to school in the county."

Liu Shuangshuang turned to look at her indifferent son, her eyes were a little red.Chen Zan smiled at his mother.Liu Shuangshuang took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions: "Okay, Xiao Zan can go to No. [-] Middle School, it's also close to home, and we can visit you anytime."

Chen Changlong also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, No. [-] Middle School still has a high school, and it's fine to go directly to high school there."

My second uncle, Chen Changsheng, also said, "Xiao Zan, as long as you study well, it's the same everywhere. Look at your sister, who is studying in a middle school in the village, and still gets a place in the county."

Chen Zan smiled: "Second Uncle said so." The three or two finished eating, put down the bowls and went outside the room. The atmosphere in this room was tense and depressing, and staying for a long time would affect people's character.

Not long after, Chen Qiao also came out. Chen Zan was squatting on the ground playing marbles with Chen Feng. Chen Qiao squatted down and said, "Brother, don't take it to heart. My sister is like this. You go to No. [-] Middle School to study, which is worse than in the county town." Well, the quality of teaching in No. [-] Middle School is not much worse than that of No. [-] Middle School, and parents can visit you often and bring you food."

Chen Zan nodded: "Yes, I know." He will definitely go to No. [-] Middle School. Not only will he go by himself, he will also bring Chatian with him. After all, Chatian is a bad student in the middle school years, so he has to be optimistic about him. up.

Chen Zan said suddenly: "Sister, when you come back from school next week, please bring me some stamps and envelopes."

Chen Qiao was a little surprised: "You want to write a letter? To whom?"

Chen Zan shook his head: "I didn't write a letter, I'm useful." Last time, Mr. Lin said that his composition was well written, and he wanted to recommend his composition to the newspaper.Chen Zan didn't take it seriously at first, and he was almost 30 years old, so how dare he compete with elementary school students for resources.

But it's so difficult to make money now, he can't just rely on eating and running to grow taller, he also needs to supplement his nutrition, and he needs to save some money first for emergencies.Now the family has just bought the back mountain, the expenses are high, and the economy is extremely tight, so I have to do my best to make money.

There are no more mushrooms to pick up, and it will take a while for the winter bamboo shoots to be dug. During this time, there is no money to be made.And there is a manuscript fee for publishing a composition. You should be able to earn a few dollars for a composition. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing. Why don't you give it a try.

Just do what you say, Chen Zan tried to write essays in the tone of a primary school student, but it was not an easy task to write well. He himself was not satisfied no matter how he looked at it, and he always felt hypocritical and artificial.In the end, with a heartbreak, I handed over the manuscript to Mr. Lin, and threw a big problem to Mr. Lin.

Two days later, Teacher Lin told him that the composition had been corrected for him and sent to the newspaper office.Chen Zan was embarrassed, he even saved the postage.At first Chen Zan was still a little bit concerned about this matter, but after half a month, when there was no reply, he knew that this matter was something serious, so he stopped thinking about it and started thinking of other ways to make money.

The weather was getting colder and colder, Chen Zan started to feel lazy, and he was reluctant to get up in the morning because of the warm bed.One morning, Chatting went outside the house and called him: "Xiao Zan, have you gone for a run?"

Chen Zan was shocked, and his mind cleared up: This guy who is chatting is already up, how could he have any reason to stay in bed, one, two, three, get up!He lifted the quilt vigorously, the cold air immediately wrapped him up, he shivered from the cold, he quickly put on his clothes, shoes and socks, and hurriedly jumped off the bed.

Chatted and waited for a while, but didn't hear anything, and said to himself: "Could it be gone already? No, I got up earlier than usual today."

Chen Zan opened the door, yawned, and exhaled heavily, "Here."

Chatting ran out for a few steps, stopped his feet and turned around: "Xiao Zan, you haven't left yet?"

Chen Zan rubbed his face to remove the blush on his face: "Well, I just got up. Let's go."

Tan Tian slowed down and ran side by side with Chen Zan. After there were no fungus to pick up, Tan Yang stopped running with them.

Chen Zan saw that he was only wearing a sweater, a light coat, and Jiefang shoes on his bare feet: "Aren't you cold in the jar? You don't even wear socks."

Chatting and laughing: "I don't feel cold. One of the socks is missing, so I didn't wear it."

Chen Zan took a look at his face. Although he was wearing less clothes, his complexion was still dark and rosy, which showed that he didn't have a swollen face to pretend to be fat.Heart said: This guy is really powerful!

Running to the back mountain, Chatting habitually went around the pine forest. Chen Zan did not go to the pine forest, but went to the bamboo forest to have a look. There were no cracks on the ground, and the winter bamboo shoots seemed to have not grown up yet. .

Chat didn't find any fungus, so he came back to Chen Zan: "Hey, I didn't see a single fungus. What are you looking for?" Without fungus, there is no money to be made. Tan Tian seems to be a little money addict.

"Look for winter bamboo shoots." Chen Zan didn't turn his head, and swept the leaves on the ground with his feet, continuing to look for cracks.

"Where is it?" Tan Tian was really attracted. Digging winter bamboo shoots is an experience that almost every mountain person has.

Chen Zan shook his head: "No, it should take a while."

Tan Tian asked: "You said that the winter bamboo shoots are sold on the street, can they be sold for money?"

Chen Zan looked at Chat, and tapped his head with his hand: "Yes, you money addict!"

Immediately, chatting with imagination: "Hey, that would be great, with so many bamboos, there will definitely be a lot of winter bamboo shoots, and then we will be able to make a lot of money."

Chen Zan glanced at him: "It's a good idea, the bamboo shoots haven't grown yet, and the price of the bamboo shoots is definitely not as good as the mushrooms. Besides, the bamboo shoots will have to be dug at that time. We are young and not strong enough, how much can we dig?"

Tan Tian waved his arms and said confidently, "Don't be afraid, I have plenty of strength."

Chen Zan thought: What a big fool.

Chatting constantly on the ground, trying to find traces of winter bamboo shoots.Chen Zan said: "Let's go, I'm going back. I'm going to be late."

Tan Tian left reluctantly, and when he was far away, he looked back to see how big the bamboo forest was and how many bamboo shoots he could produce.

As soon as I arrived at school, I was called by Teacher Lin to chat.Chen Zan felt a little strange, the chat recently did not cause any trouble.Soon, Chatting came back with a smile on his face, Chen Zan was relieved, it seemed that he hadn't been approved.

After class, Chen Zan asked Chat, "What's the matter?"

Tan Tian grinned: "The teacher explained that there is a long-distance running competition in the district, and asked me to participate."

Chen Zan understood, he didn't know which level of leadership and what kind of moth they were doing: "Then you are going to the school district tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I have to get up very early tomorrow, so I can't go for a run." Tan Tian said.

Chen Zan laughed: "What are you running for? I went to the school district tomorrow, so you have to run. Come on, run No.1."

Chatting scratched his head: "I will try my best."

Back home after school, Chen Zan took out five yuan from several people's savings and gave it to Chat.Chatting saw the money in his hand, he was very surprised: "Why do you give me so much money?"

"You go to the school district to participate in the competition tomorrow. You might have to eat there at noon. Bring some money with you. You can buy whatever you want." Chen Zan stuffed the money into his chat pocket, and he suddenly felt that he was a bit like an old lady. Oh, why is it so fucking like chatting.

Tan Tian took out the money: "It doesn't take that much, I have two dollars and that's enough."

Chen Zan shook his head: "You take it first, and give it to me tomorrow if you have any left."

Chat put the money in his trouser pocket and held it tightly for fear of losing it. This was the first time he had such a large sum of money.

The next morning, Chen Zan got up earlier than usual, warmed up at the door of the house for a while, and waited until Chatter came out of the house.

Chat ran over and smiled: "Xiao Zan, you are so early."

Chen Zan kicked the stones on the ground and said, "Well, go for a run and try your best, you don't have to be the first."

Tan Tian laughed: "I know, thank you Xiao Zan. I'm leaving, you go for a run."

Chen Zan ran a few steps, turned around and waved to Chat Tian: "Tanzi, be careful on the road."

Tan Tian patted his trouser pocket: "Don't worry, it won't fall off."

Chen Zan rolled his eyes, who told him to be careful about losing money, it was a waste of mood.
