As the moisture in the air decreases, the rainbow quickly disappears into the sky, and the wet yard gradually dries up.Mosquitoes are worse after the rain, especially black mosquitoes the size of half a sesame seed. Chen Yongyang was bitten all over his ankles before remembering to apply mosquito repellent.

Chen Wan has a specialization in technology, and Chen Wan can only provide Xu Kongshan with ideas to extend the shelf life of mosquito repellent based on what he has seen and heard, such as adding alcohol, oil, or solid beeswax, but he has no idea about the actual operation steps.For the time being, Xu Kongshan can only make a new bottle every two days, tighten the cap and store it in cold water.

Chen Qian went to the field to check the lodging situation of the rice. After entering August, the ears of rice changed every day, and the plump grains were dyed golden. In about ten days, the horn of autumn harvest would be sounded.

"Uncle Chen, is there a lot of rice?" Xu Kongshan picked off the dead bamboo leaves on his shoulders. He just went to sweep the stagnant water behind the house, and the soles of his feet were covered with yellow mud.

"Not much." Chen Qianjin said in a relaxed tone, "Basically, there is nothing to fall for, and there is no need to collect it in advance."

If the lodging is serious, the ears of rice falling to the surface of the water are very likely to cause germination and mildew. Even if they are not fully mature, they must be taken back and threshed to dry.The immature rice has more moisture inside, and the loss after drying is greater, which will also cause a reduction in production.

Everyone who farms understands this truth, no wonder Chen Qianjin is so lucky.

Chen Wan half-understood, turned around her neck, which was sore from bowing her head for too long, stretched her hands, and her stiff shoulders and neck felt bursts of pain.

"Liu'er, get up and move around, don't sit all the time, and be careful about your waist." Zhou Mei scooped up two bowls of dried beans in the morning, split them in half with a knife blade, and soaked them in water. Can peel off the shell.

Chen Wan helped Zhou Mei peel the watercress, then squeezed her shoulder casually.

In the kitchen, Zhou Mei sautéed the pickles until fragrant, and the white watercress rolled in the brown pickle soup, giving off a different kind of freshness.Obviously there are few seasonings, but it has achieved the most profound home-cooked taste in the memory of countless people.

The moon climbed up the treetops, and the stars were shining. Zhou Mei formally made a short sleeve under Chen Wan's guidance, and her excitement was beyond words.

Although she has not received the notice yet, Chen Wan is already making preparations for leaving, the most important of which is teaching Zhou Mei to make clothes.At that time, with the sample clothes he left behind, Zhou Mei must be able to continue making clothes for the villagers.

Neither Zhou Mei nor Chen Qianjin would accept Chen Wan's money, so he could only use this method to make up for it.

It is difficult to teach people to innovate, but is it not easy to follow the gourd?

Chen Wan carefully checked Zhou Mei's first work, except that the hem line was a little crooked, there were no other major problems.

Zhou Mei's mood at this moment is as if she was extremely nervous when she encountered a teacher's spot check in class when she was in elementary school.After receiving Chen Wan's affirmation, she smiled instantly.

Chen Qianjin knew that Zhou Mei was learning how to make clothes from Chen Wan, but when Zhou Mei handed him the short sleeve, he was still stunned: "Is this made for me?"

His stunned expression was a bit funny, reminding Zhou Mei of the somewhat dull Chen Qianjin when they first got married.

"If you don't make it for you, who else can you make it for?" Zhou Mei unfolded her short sleeves, "Come and try to see if it fits."

"It fits, it fits." Chen Qianjin said it several times, completely ignoring the fact that he hadn't even put it on yet.

The clothes were cut according to Chen Qianjin's size, and Chen Wan taught them one-on-one, so how could they not fit.Chen Qianjin put the short sleeves on the outside of the vest directly, feeling very comfortable in his heart.

Chen Qianjin turned to leave, but Zhou Mei stopped him suspiciously: "Where are you going?"

"I'll look in the mirror." Chen Qianjin kept walking, walked through the main room and turned on the light in the dressing room, and looked at the mirror for a long time, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"It's just a short sleeve, what about it?" Zhou Mei teased Chen Qianjin, as if he hadn't worn new clothes for decades.

"Of course." Chen Qianjin smoothed out the wrinkles on the clothes carefully, "You did this."

Chen Qianjin is an ordinary farmer. In the past [-] years of marriage, he seldom said sweet words to Zhou Mei. The sentence "you did this" made Zhou Mei's ears burn.

"You're talking as if I've never made clothes for you before." Zhou Mei feigned dissatisfaction, "Forget it, don't look at it, it's the middle of the night, don't sleep if you go to work tomorrow and doze off to see if the villagers laugh at you."

Zhou Mei turned off the volume for the second half of the sentence, and it was heard by Chen Wan who was separated by a wall, interrupting his conversation with Xu Kongshan.

"Brother Shan, did you hear that?" Chen Wan moved her ears and pointed to the next door.

"I heard." Xu Kongshan's five senses were developed, he could hear more clearly than Chen Wan, "Be careful not to move around."

Chen Wan let out an oh, and obediently lay down with her chin on the back of her hands.Xu Kongshan took the lit moxa sticks and smoked his shoulders and necks with a distance of about one centimeter.

"Brother Shan, you seem to be an old Chinese doctor. Do you know how to cup cupping?" Chen Wan looked at Xu Kongshan through the smoke from the moxa stick, and the man's resolute lines softened in the hazy smoke.Chen Wan squinted her eyes comfortably, feeling the soreness in her shoulders and neck dissipating with the smoke.

"Well, but your physique is not suitable for cupping." In addition to concocting traditional Chinese medicine, Uncle De also taught Xu Kongshan many other things, including but not limited to moxibustion and cupping.

"Why?" Chen Wan disagreed, what's wrong with his physique, the old men and women in the village can do cupping, his physique can't compare to them.

The moxa sticks are rubbed by Xu Kongshan at night, and the texture is tight and durable.Xu Kongshan shook the ashes from the moxa sticks to the ground, and then smoked Chen Wan's other shoulder.

"Aren't you afraid of pain?" Chen Wan wanted to hide when Ai Tiao was brought close, and he couldn't jump up on the spot when he was cupped.

Xu Kongshan's words made Chen Wan close his mouth consciously, cupping is impossible, just smoke moxa sticks.

Chen Wan felt drowsy from the smell of wormwood. After smoking, Xu Kongshan clubbed out the wormwood, wrapped the rest and put it in the cabinet.

"Relax." Xu Kongshan put his hands on Chen Wan's shoulders. Hearing this, Chen Wan subconsciously softened her body, and the moderate kneading made Chen Wan sigh.

Chen Wan fell asleep unknowingly, and Xu Kongshan turned him over after pressing him down. Lying on his stomach could easily make his breathing difficult.

Moxibustion and massage relieved Chen Wan's sore shoulders and neck very well. He got a good night's sleep, his face was radiant, and he felt that he could finish all the rest of the wedding dress in one go.

After breakfast, Chen Wan sat down in front of the sewing machine with great vigor, and the white fabric was sewed with even folds from his hands, layered on top of each other, vaguely showing a yarn-like texture.

However, after less than an hour of sewing, Chen Wan's movements were interrupted.

"Liuer——Liuer——" Chen Qianjin rushed into the yard excitedly. He held up a kraft paper envelope and called Chen Wan loudly. The sparrow sitting on the branch of the plum tree was frightened and flew away with its wings flapping. "What are you going to do?" up!"

Chen Wan stood up from the chair abruptly, and Chen Qianjin repeated: "You have passed the exam! Nanfang University of Finance and Economics has sent you a notice!"

Sister Chen Xing heard the movement in the house, and hurried to the main room. Chen Qianjin handed the envelope to Chen Wan with shaking hands. The envelope had no trace of opening. The front of the envelope was handwritten with Chen Wan's name and address. typeface.

"Take it apart and have a look." Chen Qianjin had never seen what the university notice looked like, and he urged Chen Wan eagerly, his eyes seemed to be able to poke a hole in the envelope.

"Let's open the letter when sister-in-law and the others come back." Chen Wan was not in a hurry to open the letter. At such an important moment, he wanted Zhou Mei and the others to witness it together.

Chen Qianjin patted his thigh as if he suddenly realized, he was so happy that he was dizzy, thanks to Chen Wan's reminder: "I'll call her now."

Not long after, Chen Qianjin came back with Zhou Mei who was equally excited, Xu Kongshan followed closely behind, and Chen Yongyang arrived at the home before them.

Chen Wan took a deep breath, opened the envelope under the gaze of six pairs of eyes, and took out the notice from Nanfang University of Finance and Economics.Zhou Mei and the others stretched their necks together to read the content above.

The notification letter these days couldn't be simpler. It's about A4 size on a white paper with a number printed on it. In the middle is the full name of Nanfang University of Finance and Economics, and the words "Student Enrollment Notification". Below it is Chen Wan's The admission notice and the reporting date shall be stamped by the Admissions Committee of Nanfang University of Finance and Economics.

There are also two sheets of paper in the envelope, which are the precautions for admission.

A thin piece of paper is endowed with a sacred meaning because of its identity as an admission letter.Zhou Mei wept with joy and kept wiping away her tears. Chen Qianjin took the notice with reddened eyes, and read the few dozen short words over and over countless times.

Zhou Mei stopped her tears, and flicked the words on the paper with trembling fingers.The notice circulated in everyone's hands, and everyone's eyes turned to whoever got it.

The notification letter must be handed over to the school for registration. After reading it, Zhou Mei told Chen Wan to keep it carefully and not lose it.

"I still want to announce the good news to your third brother." Zhou Mei smiled from ear to ear, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes came alive.

"It's too late to write the letter. Wait until the third one receives it. Didn't he leave us the phone number of the army? Later, I will accompany Liu'er to the commune and call him directly." Chen Jinjin made a final decision, and Zhou Mei kept saying Yes, turned around and went into the room and took out the phone book with the number written on it.

The news that Chen Wan was admitted to university spread quickly throughout the village as if he had grown wings, and there was an endless stream of people who came to say hello and watch the excitement, but they were all in vain.

"Damei, why isn't Chen Wan here?" Liu Qiang's mother couldn't help but ask without seeing Chen Wan after looking around for a long time.

"He went to the commune to call Jianjun to announce the good news." Zhou Mei closed the door of the garment room, there were so many people, she was afraid that something might go wrong.

The protagonist was not there, and the spectators had no intention of leaving. Someone asked Zhou Mei to show them Chen Wan's notice, but Zhou Mei declined.Such an important thing is not something fun, so how can it be circulated casually.

Everyone said one sentence to another, Zhou Mei was so exhausted, and seeing that it was time to cook lunch, these people left with unsatisfied intentions.

Zhou Mei let out a sigh of relief as she sat on the chair. Although it was a bit troublesome, it didn't affect her good mood.

Not counting the educated youths like Zhang Yi, Chen Wan is the real first college student in the village.To use Liu Qiang's mother's words to describe it, the ancestral grave of their old Chen's family is not only smoking, it is about to burn.

Chen Jianjun was promoted to the head of the regiment all the way in the army, Chen Yongfei successfully joined the machinery factory and became a technician with a solid job, and Chen Wan was admitted to the Nanfang University of Finance and Economics. Good luck.

People in the village are like this, they always like to talk about illusory geomantic omen and luck when they encounter problems, as if they can succeed in changing their ancestral graves.

The author has something to say: Chen Wan: I have received the admission notice!
