passionate youth

Chapter 60

On the kang.

Chen Zezhong and Jiang Ping'an sat cross-legged, sipping wine and chatting.

"Have you been to Xiuzhen's house?" Chen Zezhong asked.

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "I go every week. I don't have any other acquaintances in the city."

"Well, between you young people, you need to communicate more. If you communicate more, you will understand each other." Chen Zezhong said with a smile.

After taking a sip of his wine, he asked concerned: "Is your study going well at school?"

"It's going well. I'm planning to take the promotion exam before the end of the year and directly enter Class A." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Chen Zezhong frowned, and was also happy about it, saying: "You have a junior high school education, and you really should enter Class A."

"Hehe, not only do I want to study in Class A, but I also plan to take the entrance examination next year." Jiang Ping'an told the truth.

"Wait until you are admitted to university, and work while studying on your own."

Chen Zezhong worried: "I heard from Xiuzhen that high school knowledge is much more complicated than junior high school knowledge. Can you pass the exam?"

It is naturally best to be able to graduate early, even if you can't get into college, you can still work.

However, he was still worried that Jiang Ping'an was too ambitious and lacked strength to pass the exam.

At that time, it will only ruin the future, and get an impetuous and unsteady comment.

"Ninety percent sure, the other depends on luck, otherwise I wouldn't dare to tell you the truth!" Jiang Pingan nodded and replied.

Chen Zezhong nodded, still a little uneasy: "If you're not sure of everything, it's okay to delay for a few years."

"Before thinking about success, think about failure first. If you are too impatient and fail the exam, it will damage the impression you have on the school leaders and teachers."

Jiang Pingan nodded and smiled, "Don't worry uncle, I will move forward step by step."

After drinking two ounces of wine, Jiang Ping'an got up to leave, but Chen Zezhong didn't keep him, but told him to think twice and think twice.

After Jiang Ping'an left, Jiang Xiaofang came to the room, sat on the edge of the kang, and asked curiously, "What's Ping'an's attitude towards Xiuzhen?"

"It's still uncertain. Ping An didn't say that he wanted to marry Xiuzhen, but he didn't refuse to associate with her either." Chen Zezhong frowned.

"This matter can't be clarified. Once it is clarified, there is no room for manoeuvre. If he wants to, he will take the initiative to speak up."

Jiang Xiaofang sighed softly: "This matter is a bit mysterious, Ping An is really going to work, and he can marry a young girl in the city."

"Hey, let's see the good fortune among these young people!" Chen Zezhong was helpless about this.

Although my daughter's conditions are not bad in all aspects, she has a job with an urban hukou, and she needs to be educated and look good.

She has a good temper, is sensible, gentle and virtuous, but she is a widow after all.

He didn't bother to ask for favors, and forced Jiang Ping'an to marry his daughter.

Leaving the compound, Jiang Ping'an went to the alley and found that Zhuang Zhenjun was not there today, so he walked back to the city without further delay.

Time flies, and it is the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the long-lost promotion exam finally begins.

Before the exam, you must register first. Jiang Pingan didn't waste time applying for the exam to upgrade to Class B, but directly applied for the exam to upgrade to Class A.

The exam lasted for three days, from the morning of the twelfth lunar month to the afternoon of the fourteenth, and the results were announced on the fifteenth morning, which was very efficient.

The exam went well, and the result naturally did not disappoint Jiang Ping'an, he passed the promotion assessment smoothly.

And the grades are very good, among the best, after returning to school after the Chinese New Year, he will directly join Class A to study.

On the morning of the announcement of the results, the teachers and students of the school held a meeting against the wind and snow to make a year-end summary and commend outstanding teachers and students.

Because of his outstanding performance and excellent grades, Jiang Ping'an was rated as a three-good student and was rewarded with [-] catties of flour.

After the conference, teachers and students left the school one after another.

Jiang Ping'an was going to Chen Xiuzhen's place, but was invited to dinner by Li Wen'an.

Siheyuan.

Jiang Pingan came to the door with a jar of space liquor, and finally met Li Wen'an's youngest son, Yan Qiulian's husband Li Zhixiang.

The two got to know each other, and only then did they know that Jiang Ping'an was two months older than Li Zhixiang, so Li Zhixiang kindly called Jiang Ping'an brother.

Jiang Ping'an called him Zhixiang, and Yan Qiulian's younger brother and sister.

Li Zhixiang's mother recovered quickly because she ate the chicken Jiang Ping'an gave her and the hen often laid eggs to supplement her nutrition.

Now he can walk around in the ground, so Li Zhixiang is very grateful to Jiang Ping'an.

In the living room, Li Wen'an, Li Zhixiang, and Jiang Ping'an were drinking tea while talking about homework.

"I used to want to buy live chickens, but I could buy them at a high price in the free market, but now it's hard to get them even if I go to the countryside," Li Zhixiang said.

"Not to mention live chickens, even if you want to buy frozen chickens, it is very difficult."

"Now all that is sold during the Chinese New Year is canned food, and that stuff is just a taste."

"What is the most popular in the market today? Frozen fish is the most, and truckloads of fish are transferred from surrounding provinces for sale."

Li Wen'an glanced at him lightly, and said:
"There is no shortage of food at home, and no one will die without meat. You should stop wandering around the free market in the future."

Li Zhixiang only graduated from university last year to start working, and he became a regular this year.

If a dignified cadre is caught buying things in the free market, it will affect his future to some extent, and in serious cases, he will even be punished.

Li Zhixiang smiled awkwardly, and said, "Didn't I want to buy some good things to supplement my mother's nutrition? I won't go there in the future."

"By the way, teacher, Zhixiang, it's the twelfth lunar month, do you need eggs?" Jiang Pingan asked suddenly.

"I still have some contacts in the countryside. If there are not too many, I can go and get some quietly."

Li Zhixiang lifted his spirits, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, why not? I just want to curry favor with the leader, so I don't know what to give!"

"Vulgar! Vulgar! Vulgar!" Hearing this, Li Wen'an said angrily.

Li Zhixiang didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "This person eats whole grains, what's so vulgar? I also respect the leader!"

Then he said to Jiang Ping'an: "Brother Ping'an, please be careful about this matter, we are not outsiders, if you want something, I will help you."

Jiang Ping'an agreed, "Okay, I'll do this right away when I go back to the countryside."

Relationships, you help me, I help you, you owe me favors, I owe you favors, slowly build up.

It's just that Jiang Ping'an's status is inconvenient, otherwise it would not be too difficult for him to weave a network of contacts with a lot of supplies in his hands.

But this matter is not urgent, the meal needs to be eaten bite by bite, the most urgent thing is to hold Li Wen'an's thigh tightly first.

"Ping An, you have a heart, and you have to be careful."

Look, Li Wen'an is not pedantic, his son's future is at stake, even if he doesn't help, he won't hold back.

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry, as long as the quantity is not large, there will be no hidden dangers."

"That's good, I'm happy today, Dad, your Moutai has been stored for too long, how about a few drinks today?" Li Zhixiang said with a playful smile.

Li Wen'an glared at him, and said with a stern face: "When you are a cadre, you have to look like a cadre. What do you mean by joking all day long?"

Looking back, his expression eased, and he asked Jiang Ping'an, "How many drinks?"

"drink!"
