"Brother Chen, where are you going?" Zhao Hui rang the bicycle bell, pinched the brakes and stopped with his left foot beside Chen Jinjin.

"Little Zhao. Liu'er has been admitted to university. I'll take him to the commune post office to call Jianjun to announce the good news." Chen Qianjin said with a smile on his face, and Chen Wan also called out Brother Zhao.

"Has Chen Wan been admitted to university? Congratulations." Zhao Hui was surprised, "It's so troublesome to go to the post office, let's go, go to our police station and call."

Nowadays, communication is underdeveloped, and only units are equipped with telephones. Writing letters is still the current mainstream, and most important or urgent matters are sent by telegram.

Short-distance calls within the city are okay, but Chen Jinjin wants to make long-distance calls, and he has to switch layers in between. The post office often queues up for long-distance calls. If he is unlucky, he can toss for an hour or two.

With Zhao Hui around, going to the police station is indeed more convenient than going to the post office. Chen Qianjin readily agreed, and Zhao Hui got off his bicycle and pushed them along: "What university did Chen Wan go to?"

Zhou Mei said before that Zhang Cheng's wife would invite two young couples to eat at home after three months, but she never spared time, and it was rare to meet them on weekdays, so Zhao Hui didn't know Chen Wantian's wish.

"Nancai University." After Chen Wan finished speaking, she glanced at the bicycle in Zhao Hui's hand. If it weren't for the fact that the road from the town to Ping'an Village had not gone downhill too much, and she didn't have the physique of Zhao Hui and Zhang Cheng, cycling back and forth might be better than walking. Still tired, he wanted to buy one for Chen Qianjin.

Zhao Hui hasn't studied for a few years, and knows little about Nanfang University of Finance and Economics, but it doesn't stop him from praising Chen Wan's ability. He knows how difficult the university exam is.

While speaking, the three of them entered the police station. Zhang Cheng was on duty today, and he stood up from his chair suspiciously when he saw them.

"Chen Wan has been admitted to university, I'll take them to the back and call the group leader to announce the good news." Zhao Hui didn't tell Zhang Cheng in detail, and led the people to continue walking inside.

Zhao Hui knew the number of the army by heart, and before Chen Jinjin took out the phone book, he helped him dial the number.

After the other party connected, Zhao Hui stated his identity and purpose in a few words, and after several transfers, Zhao Hui put down the receiver: "The head of the group is not in the office now, the correspondent is going to call him, and he will call us later."

"Excuse me, Xiao Zhao, will this not delay you?" Chen Qianjin was worried that they would occupy the phone and others would not be able to call in, which would affect the work of the police station.

"Don't delay." Zhao Hui moved a chair for them to sit on, "Our phone is hardly ever called, so you just need to use it."

Chen Qianjin then sat down with peace of mind, waiting for Chen Jianjun's call back.

About half an hour later, Ding Ling's phone rang and interrupted the conversation between the three of them. Chen Qianjin pushed Chen Wan's arm: "Liu Er, you go and answer it."

When Chen Jinjin proposed to announce the good news to Chen Jianjun, Chen Wan began to search for fragments about Chen Jianjun in his memory. When the phone rang, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help becoming nervous.

The phone rang four or five times, and Chen Wan finally picked up the receiver: "Hello."

"Liu'er?" Chen Jianjun recognized Chen Wan's voice, and instantly switched to the local dialect, with as friendly a tone as possible.

Chen Wan didn't put the receiver close to her ear, Chen Jianjun's voice leaked out of the receiver, Zhao Hui opened his mouth wide in surprise.He had been a soldier under Chen Jianjun for so long, and he had never heard Chen Jianjun speak in such a tone.

"It's me, third brother." Chen Jianjun's kindness relieved Chen Wan's nervousness, and he simply put away the receiver so that Chen Qianjin, who was looking forward to it, could hear it clearly.

"I haven't heard you speak for a long time, I almost didn't recognize it." Chen Jianjun laughed, "Did you call me for something?"

"Third brother, I'm admitted to university." Chen Wan talked about the business, and Chen Qianjin beside him deepened his smile.

"Accepted?" Chen Jianjun had a vague guess when he heard the call from his hometown, but he still couldn't help his heart beat faster after hearing it with his own ears. "Is it a finance and economics major from Nanfang University of Finance and Economics?"

"Yes, I received the notice in the morning and report to school on September [-]th."

Chen Wan originally thought that he would have nothing to say in front of Chen Jianjun, but in the end he said several words in succession unknowingly. He turned his head to look at Chen Qianjin, stopped talking, and handed the phone to Chen Qianjin.

"Jianjun." The number of times Chen Qianjin called Chen Jianjun is very small, and the last time the two communicated by phone was several years ago.

Chen Wan couldn't hear what Chen Jianjun said to Chen Jinjin, only heard Chen Jinjin suddenly raised his voice: "Are you promoted to deputy brigade commander?"

Zhao Hui, who was guarding the door, turned his head abruptly, deputy brigade commander!

Chen Wan subconsciously calculated Chen Jianjun's age in her mind. Chen Jianjun was 17 years older than him. What is the concept of a 37-year-old deputy brigade commander?Chen Wan didn't know, so she asked Zhao Hui in a low voice if there were many examples like Chen Jianjun in Zhao Hui's army.

many?Zhao Hui immediately taught Chen Wan a lesson, telling Chen Wan how difficult it is to become a deputy brigade commander.With so many soldiers in the army, being a deputy brigade commander is one in a million, not to mention that Chen Qianjin is only 37 years old.

And the most important thing is that the number of years alone is not enough for promotion in the army. You must show real materials and make meritorious service.And doing meritorious deeds often means sweating and bleeding.

Chen Jianjun did not hold a civilian position in the army. It can be said that his promotion was all in exchange for his life.

Chen Jinjin knew this well, so he didn't care about being happy, and first cared about Chen Jianjun's body: "Where did you get hurt this time?"

Chen Jianjun always reported the good news but not the bad news. Every time he was injured, he would not let the troops notify Chen Jinjin and them. If Chen Qianjin hadn't accidentally seen the scar on his arm, he probably could have kept it hidden.

"Brother, I'm not injured this time, really." Chen Jianjun lied without changing his face, relying on the fact that he was not in front of Chen Qianjin.

"Chen Jianjun, you think I'm Chen Yongyang." Chen Jinjin showed the majesty of a big brother, "You can be promoted to deputy brigade commander without injury?"

"Brother, that's not what you said. No matter how you get promoted to deputy brigade commander, you have to be injured." Chen Jianjun tried to change Chen Qianjin's thinking, "Now is a peaceful age, and it is not as dangerous as you think."

"Really not injured?" Chen Qianjin was dubious, "Chen Jianjun, don't lie to me."

"No, brother, don't worry." Chen Jianjun injured his thigh this time, and Chen Qianjin couldn't find it.

Chen Qianjin reluctantly believed Chen Jianjun's words: "You have to take good care of yourself outside, and your own safety is the most important thing in everything."

Having said all that needed to be said, Chen Jinjin hung up the phone reluctantly, took out the money in his trouser pocket, counted two yuan and handed it to Zhao Hui.

"Brother Chen, what are you doing?" Zhao Hui hurriedly refused, "I can't take your money."

"You take it." Chen Jinjin stuffed the money into Zhao Hui's hands vigorously, "Long distance calls are expensive, so you can't take advantage of the public."

Zhao Hui, who was about to subsidize the phone bill himself, was blocked by Chen Jinjin's words, so he had no choice but to charge Chen Jinjin fifty cents. They hadn't chatted for 10 minutes just now, and fifty cents was enough.

Chen Wan's entrance into university was such a big event that of course it should be celebrated well. Before Chen Qian left, he left a message for Zhao Hui and Zhang Cheng, and he would come to invite them after confirming the time later.

"No problem, we will definitely go." Zhao Hui sent them out of the police station with a smile, "It will be good to be happy with Chen Wan then."

The two brothers went back to the village wearing straw hats. Zhou Mei had just finished making lunch: "Did you get the call?"

"I made the call. I met Xiao Zhao on the way. He lent us the phone number of the police station." Chen Qianjin took off his straw hat and scooped up cold water to wash his face. "Jianjun has been promoted to deputy brigade commander."

"What?" Chen Qianjin's words made Zhou Mei almost drop the bowl, she looked at Chen Qianjin in disbelief, "When did it happen? Jianjun told you on the phone?"

Chen Qianjin nodded, and Zhou Mei thought about it with him: "Is Jianjun not injured?"

"No." Chen Qianjin gave the washbasin to Chen Wan, shook the water off his hands, and went into the kitchen to smoke seven pairs of chopsticks.

At the dinner table, Zhou Mei shared the good news that Chen Jianjun was promoted to deputy brigade commander. Chen Yongyang clapped his hands happily. He didn't know the exact position of deputy brigade commander and didn't care. For Chen Yongyang, Chen Jianjun was promoted anyway, which meant He has new capital to show off to his friends.

His younger uncle, a college student; his third uncle, deputy brigade commander, Chen Yongyang feels that there is no more powerful kid in Ping'an Village than him.

Zhou Mei took the opportunity to encourage Chen Yongyang, asking him to follow Chen Wan and Chen Jianjun as examples and learn more from them.

"Did anyone come to the house this morning?" Chen Qianjin noticed that the door of the garment room was locked and the chairs were placed in the main room.

"Hey, isn't it? As soon as you leave, they come back." Zhou Mei recounted the excitement of the morning, "They still want to read Liu'er's notice, but I didn't agree, in case someone accidentally breaks it." What should I do?"

Zhou Mei knew that Chen Wan didn't like crowds, so she told him to go to Xu Kongshan's house to avoid it in the afternoon, so as not to be forced to get away from being questioned by a group of people.

People's enthusiasm has a time limit. After today, the people in the village will not be so fresh.

Chen Wan couldn't wish for it, and immediately hid in Xu Kongshan's house after eating, and let the commotion outside, but he didn't show up, he didn't want to be watched like a monkey.

Chen Wan brought the notice along with her so that Xu Kongshan could read it all.

Xu Kongshan knew every word on the notice. He looked at it, took out a pen and paper, compared it with the notice, and copied the content according to the above format.

"Brother Shan, why are you copying this?" Chen Wan didn't understand what he meant. What's so good about copying a notice.

"Didn't you hand in the notice to the school when school started? I'll copy it down as a souvenir." Xu Kongshan copied it very carefully, and he even measured the distance between the text and the edge of the paper.

Chen Wan understood, he stopped disturbing and quietly asked Xu Kongshan to finish copying the notice.

Xu Kongshan did not have Chen Wan's drawing skills, and the paper he used was not as big as A4. The final copy of the notice was far from the original, but Chen Wan thought it was the best copy he had ever seen.

The people next door to join in the fun and watch the strange come again, and they are not afraid of the heat in the sun.Zhou Mei could understand their thoughts, so she received them patiently, but she still grinned shamelessly.

"Zhou Mei, Chen Wan is the first college student in our village, why don't you and Lao Chen hold a banquet for him to celebrate?"

Good guy, Liushuixi, I really thought the Chen family was a landlord family. There are thousands of people in the village, how can Zhou Mei get so much food.

"How much ceremony do you plan to have with Zhou Mei if she hosts a running banquet?" Someone responded with unbearable words, "Do you want to eat for free?"

The vast majority of people are quite sensible, and the Chen family is getting more and more prosperous, only fools will offend people at this juncture.

The author has something to say: Chen Wan: You have a good idea for running the flowing water banquet.
