His father was very unhappy recently, and Zhao An noticed this keenly.

Zhao An and his parents stayed in Xiadong Village until the fourth day of the junior high and then left. However, after returning from his hometown, Zhao's father didn't have much energy for work, and occasionally he would be in a daze. He was not as excited as he was a few days ago.

Zhao An thought over and over what happened to his father when he was in the Lower East Village.

The second elder's body is still considered healthy, and Zhao An's grandparents have not suffered any serious illnesses in his memory.Father Zhao's brothers and sisters didn't have anything to do with each other, and they kept helping each other. In the past few days, Father Zhao took turns drinking at the uncle and third uncle's house.

In addition to drinking and eating, Zhao's father also wandered in the fields.It's a pity that it's winter, when it's time for farming, otherwise Father Zhao would have already rolled up his sleeves and started farming.

Then think of Zhao's father returning to Rongcheng, every day he has nowhere to use his strength.I cleaned the stewed vegetables cart from head to corner several times, as if it was newly bought; every morning, Father Zhao went to the farmer’s market to pick ingredients, and my mother said that Father Zhao basically had to read all the vegetable stalls before Purchased, the ingredients in the last two days are not only fresh but also in perfect condition...

According to various signs, Zhao An felt that his father wanted to do farm work.Just like in his previous life, after living in a villa with no worries about food and clothing, Father Zhao still had to fiddle with the vegetable field in his yard.

Zhao's father has been doing farm work since he was a child, and what he is best at is always everything in the farmland, soil, crops, poultry, farm tools...

Later, I went to work in the city to make a living, because the work on the construction site was too exhausting and I didn't have time to think about these things.

But now Father Zhao's work intensity has been reduced a lot, especially when Mother Zhao is cooking stewed vegetables, Father Zhao is basically not allowed to intervene.Every day, Father Zhao felt that he had nowhere to use his strength.

After returning to Xiadong Village during the Spring Festival, seeing the familiar rural life once again aroused Zhao's father's longing, so Zhao's father became depressed after returning to Rongcheng.

To find a way to get his father to find something to do, Zhao An has been thinking about this matter again recently.

"Zhao An! Zhao An! Zhao An! Zhao An! Zhao An!"

Zhao An recovered from his daze, Ji Jiashu rushed to Zhao An as soon as he raised his head, and hugged Zhao An tightly.

"Zhao An, I miss you so much." Ji Jiashu directly expressed his miss. He hadn't seen Zhao An for a whole week. This was the longest period of time since they met each other.

Hearing Ji Jiashu's words, Zhao An was also a little embarrassed.If he is always an adult thinking, he is not used to expressing emotions naked/naked/naked like this, even these days he still misses Ji Jiashu a lot.

Looking at Ji Jiashu's face flushed from running, Zhao An suddenly thought, no wonder some people always use the word "Chizi" to praise others, isn't it a good thing to express their emotions sincerely and directly? ?

"I miss you too, Ji Xiaoshu."

After some so-called "maturity" was thrown away, Zhao An also directly expressed his emotions.

Who would have thought that Ji Jiashu, who had a cheerful and happy face just now, suddenly became shy, and the blush on his face became more obvious.

Ji Jiashu didn't expect that Zhao An would respond to his words at all. Normally, Zhao An looked mature and steady in his eyes, but Zhao An suddenly said such a sentence, which made him a little shy.

Seeing Ji Jiashu's cute reaction, Zhao An was in a good mood.But the street was full of people coming and going, it was not a place to talk, so he said to Ji Jiashu: "Let's go in."

Afraid that Ji Jiashu would get lost, Zhao An took the initiative to hold Ji Jiashu's hand and walked into the deep building - Xinhua Bookstore.

Xinhua Bookstore is a physical bookstore established by Huaxia Publishing Group, a state-owned enterprise affiliated to Huaxia Publishing Group.Since its establishment in 1937, Xinhua Bookstore has been struggling to make ends meet.But such a bookstore basically still covered every town in China in the 90s.

Moreover, Xinhua Bookstore has never prohibited customers from reading books in the store. It can be said that Xinhua Bookstore has opened a journey of searching for books for countless young people.

The prize that Zhao An and Ji Jiashu won in the composition competition last time was a book card from Xinhua Bookstore, and today is the day that Zhao An and Ji Jiashu agreed before returning to their hometown. They will come to buy books together in the afternoon of the fifth day of the fifth day.

The first thing Zhao An and Ji Jiashu bought were teaching materials.It is obviously the most hated book by students, but Zhao An and Ji Jiashu chose it very seriously.

Zhao An chose a primary school mathematics olympiad and a mathematics teaching aid for the first year of junior high school.

For Zhao An, skipping a grade is a must. Even if Zhao An thinks the mathematics in the first year of junior high school is very simple, he still has to buy a teaching aid to recall it. The same is true for the Mathematical Olympiad exam in the second half of the semester.

As for Chinese and English, Zhao An is still very confident.Especially English, Zhao An spent a lot of energy on it in order to be able to communicate freely with the conductor of the international orchestra.

It is a pity that English is not taken in the entrance examination for junior high school, and English courses are only available after entering junior high school.

Seeing the teaching aids Zhao An selected, Ji Jiashu immediately pulled out two books that were exactly the same as Zhao An from the bookshelf.As a best friend, his idea is to just buy the same book as Zhao An.

But Ji Jiashu was eventually dissuaded by Zhao An.Because Zhao An said a reason that Ji Jiashu couldn't refuse: "We can buy different teaching aids, and we can exchange them to see when the time comes."

Thinking of exchanging teaching aids with Zhao An, Ji Jiashu was overjoyed, and finally chose other mathematics and Chinese materials.

The current books do not exceed ten yuan, and the book cards owned by Zhao An and Ji Jiashu far exceed this amount, so the two wandered around in other areas of the bookstore.

The area with the most children in the bookstore is naturally the comics area. The first batch of neon country comics had been introduced in the late 80s, and some domestically produced comics gradually appeared.

Every holiday, countless children come to the bookstore to read comics.Ji Jiashu also has the innocence and curiosity of his peers, so he ran over to read comics.

Seeing that Ji Jiashu was attracted by comic books and unable to move away, Zhao An and Ji Jiashu made an appointment to meet here in 10 minutes, and then went to the two areas that he had planned earlier today to find his targets.

Zhao An first came to the food bookshelf.Now it's not like ten years later, the foodie nature of Chinese people has been awakened.When you enter the bookstore, you can see gourmet recipes everywhere, and there is even a so-called gourmet section.

Now even in the largest bookstore in Chengdu, which occupies four floors, there are only two shelves of food-related books.

Although Zhao An was somewhat dissatisfied with the number and types of books, he finally chose three books that he was satisfied with.

"Classic Sichuan Cuisine and Experience" is a summary of Sichuan cuisine experience by a state banquet chef. What makes Zhao An satisfied is that it also contains some descriptions of Sichuan-style stewed dishes.

Although Zhao's mother has a certain talent and experience in cooking, she has not received systematic training after all.If Zhao's mother wants to continue to do food, it will definitely be useful.

"Food Safety and Hygiene", a popular science book that sounds like a textbook, introduces some basic knowledge of food safety, such as bacteria, colorants, saccharin and so on.

These concepts have not been popularized in China yet, but Zhao An also believes that Mother Zhao needs to master this knowledge.

The last book is "Gourmet Gastronomy from Around the World". This book seems to have the least connection with Zhao's mother's current business, but Zhao An finally chose it.

Since the reform/opening up, Western culture has rapidly impacted traditional Chinese culture, not only in clothing and movies, but also in food.Now in the open coastal cities, the most advanced food is no longer the traditional Chinese food, but the so-called steak western food.

Zhao An also knew how much influence these exotic delicacies would have on local restaurants, so it's not a bad thing to let his mother know about it now.Zhao An even thought of some tricks, which will be discussed later.

After choosing these three books, Zhao An came to another area - agriculture.This time it is not just as simple as two bookcases, hundreds of books about agriculture are arranged one by one.

In fact, Huaxia has never stopped exploring and striving for agricultural modernization and technology. However, the small-scale peasant economic model, rural culture, education and other legacy problems have made it difficult for farmers to adopt modern agricultural technology.

How to send agricultural technology to the countryside has always been a big problem.

Zhao An thought that if Zhao's mother's business is getting bigger and bigger, then Zhao's father's sense of loss will definitely become more and more obvious.Moreover, the role played by Zhao's father is not necessary in Zhao's mother's stewed vegetables business. Everything he does can be solved by hiring others.

In order to prevent his father from becoming more and more depressed in the future, Zhao An still hopes that he can engage in the things he likes to do.

Not to enjoy leisurely, but to enjoy doing the work you like.And Zhao's father's favorite is naturally agriculture, which has been closely related to his life for more than 30 years. Whether it is planting or breeding, Zhao's father likes it.

However, Zhao An didn't know much about agriculture, and there were too many books related to agriculture, so he couldn't make a quick choice like choosing books for Zhao's mother.

Zhao An originally wanted to choose books on planting, but he suddenly saw a book called "Keeping of White Feathered Chickens".After reading this book, some memories and thoughts of Zhao An were suddenly awakened.

That's it!

Zhao An carried the six books he had chosen back to the comics and went to Ji Jiashu. When Ji Jiashu saw the heavy books in Zhao An's hands, he immediately put down the comics in his hands and came to help Zhao An get the books.

Of course Zhao An refused, and even raised the book above his head to signal that he didn't need to help.

Then Zhao An accompanied Ji Jiashu to choose two books on music, but this time it was not about piano music, but about music theory.

In the eyes of most music majors, music theory knowledge is quite boring, but Ji Jiashu is able to study it patiently. This is something that Zhao An could not do at this age in his previous life.

Music theory knowledge is not so easy to understand, Zhao An will use the excuse of studying together to help Zhao An.After all, Zhao An has studied systematically and professionally, and his grades are quite excellent.

After the two paid their bills with their book cards, they walked out of the Xinhua Bookstore.

Ji Jiashu pouted and yelled, "I'm going home so early."

Originally, Ji Jiashu's idea was to invite Zhao An to his house to play after buying the books together, but now seeing Zhao An holding so many books, he suppressed his own thoughts.

Ji Jiashu thought that he had hidden his thoughts well, but Zhao An still saw through them at a glance.

Zhao An said with a smile: "Let's meet on [-]. You can come to my house to play tomorrow."

"Okay." Hearing Zhao An's words, the sullenness on Ji Jiashu's face disappeared instantly, and he was already looking forward to meeting tomorrow.
