Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 576
Lao Fan told Chen Yang that the school had removed Wang Weijun's name from the list of studying abroad.

The school asked for Chen Li's opinion, and if she agreed, she could study abroad instead of Wang Weijun.

Of course, if this is the case, it would be a bit embarrassing to say it, because it was Chen Li's elder brother who injured Wang Weijun.

However, even if it is a replacement, it is justifiable. There are five places in the Department of Computer Science, and Chen Li, who has the best overall performance, should be one of them.

Lao Fan pointed to the phone and said that the school was waiting for a reply, and because the time was too tight, they had to apply for visas for the students going abroad immediately.

Chen Yang didn't dare to make decisions. It was about the future of the second sister, which had to be decided by herself.

Chen Yang stood up and asked, "Is it now?"

Lao Fan nodded, "It was supposed to be in the afternoon, but I couldn't find you."

Chen Yang has two pagers, one is from Shanghai and the other is from Tianzhou. Now that he is in the provincial capital, both pagers are not within the service area.

Chen Yang was about to find his second sister when someone knocked on the door of the study.

The person who knocked on the door was Aunt Tian, ​​and Chen Li followed with a wheelchair.

Aunt Tian said: "Chen Li has made the final decision to go to work in the Northwest."

Lao Fan asked, "Chen Li, don't you want to change?"

Chen Li nodded and said, "I will definitely not change it."

Lao Fan praised, "Good job, women don't give way to men."

Chen Yang was silent.

Both Lao Fan and Aunt Tian looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Li said, "Brother, you must support me."

Chen Yang smiled, "The girl who gets married is the water that gets thrown out. The girl belongs to someone else's family, so it doesn't matter where you go to work."

Lao Fan pointed at Chen Yang, "This is feudalism."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "This is the truth. The girls in our family are destined to go their separate ways. I don't care, fourth child, you decide for yourself."

Chen Li resolutely said, "That's it."

Lao Fan picked up the phone, got through, said a few words, and handed it over to Chen Li.

The other end of the phone was talking, but Chen Li was listening all the time.

The call is over.

Chen Li said: "My file will be sent to the unit I am going to in the near future. Around April next year, the unit will send someone to pick me up, and the specific time will be determined later."

Chen Yang said: "There are still two or three months. Fourth, go to Shanghai with me first. After the Spring Festival, you go back to your hometown to accompany grandparents and our mother."

Chen Li nodded and hummed.

Lao Fan took out an old map.

Chen Yang saw at a glance that this was a military map.

Lao Fan pointed to a place on the map, "This is here. It used to be a desert, but now it has become a city with a population of 30 to [-]."

Chen Yang asked: "Old Fan, how do you know so well?"

Aunt Tian said: "My eldest joined the army at the age of 17 and has been working there for 20 years now."

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Based on this, our family has some connections with this place. My second uncle works nearby. Half of my second uncle's two sons and two daughters are still working there."

Old Fan Yu said earnestly: "I still say that gold always shines. Chen Li, your aunt and I both believe in you."

"Thank you Uncle Fan, thank you Aunt Tian."

Aunt Tian said: "Chen Li, let them talk, let's go."

Lao Fan signaled Chen Yang to close the door.

Chen Yang closed the door and walked back.

Chen Yang thought that Lao Fan wanted to talk about something important.

Unexpectedly, Lao Fan took out a jar of rice wine that had already been opened from under the desk.

Chen Yang laughed, and Lao Fan also laughed.

The old and the young started drinking.

However, Chen Yang didn't let Lao Fan drink happily. Seeing that Lao Fan drank about a catty, Chen Yang didn't let him drink any more.

The alcohol content of rice wine is not high, not comparable to red wine, old wine and white wine, but at least higher than beer.

Chen Yang sealed and hid the wine jar, and sent Lao Fan back to his room to rest. He himself stayed up all night, looking for a few books from the bookshelf.

Lao Fan's study is not big, and there are not many books, no more than two thousand volumes.

But Chen Yang also discovered that many books were issued internally, and they could not be bought in Xinhua Bookstore.

Chen Yang is very interested in these books.

Same as last night, Chen Yang didn't go upstairs to rest until after midnight.

A few days later, Chen Yang's three exams were completed.

On Chen Li's side, all formalities were basically completed.

Chen Li's farewell to teachers and classmates has also ended.

On Monday, Chen Yang took Chen Li back to Shanghai.

Lao Fan and Aunt Tian were reluctant to leave, and went straight to the gate of the government dormitory area, and did not leave for a long time.

Back in Shanghai, it was already around 03:30 in the afternoon.

Chen Yang took Chen Li home first, parked the car, and then went to the kindergarten with Chen Li to pick up the two little ones.

Having not seen each other for a year and a half, the two little guys no longer recognize Chen Li.

Chen Yang explained for a long time, and when he got home, he took out a group photo, and the two little guys confirmed that she was the second aunt.

Of course, after a meal, the two little guys got along with their second aunt.

The next night, Ye Jing and Ye Yiyi's mother and daughter came, as did the third sister Chen Xi and the third brother Chen Li.

The whole family was noisy, laughing and talking for most of the night.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and Chen Yang has a lot of things to do.

First, I called a few elderly people at home and explained that I would not go home for the New Year this year.

Grandparents and mother, although they miss them in their hearts, they don't say anything.

The old people are used to getting together more and more these years.

Then there is the checkout of dozens of suppliers.

Chen Yang contacted them one by one by phone, and then entrusted the bank to help with the settlement. It took four full days to pay off the entire payment.

It is the basic quality of a businessman in the 80s to settle accounts before the Chinese New Year and not owe a penny.

The next thing is to go to the streets to buy all kinds of New Year's goods.

Chen Yang took the lead, and the whole family mobilized. Besides Chen Yang's Santana, they also borrowed the company's pickup truck.

Three days of shopping, costing tens of thousands of dollars, food and clothing, and the main room is full.

Everyone bought new clothes, including Chen Yang himself.

The rice cakes and mochi from home also arrived.

It was the first time for Chen Yang to celebrate the New Year outside, and his grandfather was also very concerned. He actually sent 150 catties of rice cakes and [-] catties of mochi.

The preservation of rice cakes and mochi is very particular.

After making rice cakes and mochi, they should be air-dried for at least five days before being put into a water tank and filled with clean water.

If the water is submerged in the rice cakes and mochi, you have to find something to cover the water tank, and you have to add water every half a month.

Teacher Liu and Mama Zhang were worried that it would take five or six water tanks to hold so many rice cakes and mochi.

Shanghai is a big city, and you can buy everything else. Just this water tank, you may not be able to buy it in the suburbs.

Chen Yang had no choice but to buy a few wooden barrels.

However, according to Mr. Liu and Zhang Ma's calculations, these wooden barrels can only hold half of the rice cakes and mochi.

Chen Yang thought about it, and decided to take out half of the rice cakes and mochi as gifts.

Professor Ye's couple, Ye Jing's family, five neighbors and Director Lang, each family can give a little.

Sisters Chen Li and Chen Xi laughed at the eldest brother, giving them rice cakes and mochi as gifts, which is too peasant.
