Second Sister Chen wants to scold someone, it's midnight, can she sleep well.Complaints belong to complainers, the neighbors, Second Sister Chen and Jiang Qinggong went upstairs to persuade the fight.

Chen Wan was so sleepy that her eyelids were clenched, she frowned and turned sideways, took Xu Kongshan's hand and covered her ears together to block the disturbing noise.

"Little uncle." Jiang Yingying, who was also sleepless from the noise, greeted Chen Wan feebly. Before Second Sister Chen had time to make breakfast, she bought steamed stuffed buns and porridge from downstairs, and mixed a plate of pickles.

Chen Wan's eyes were half-opened, and she gave a hum in response, and went to the bathroom to wash her face before she regained consciousness.

Jiang Yingying, who needed to go to school for morning self-study, was the first to leave. Chen Wan and Xu Kongshan went out with Chen Erjie and his wife after breakfast, and separated outside the Tongzilou.

Chen Wan first moved his luggage to the bungalow. The tube building was too noisy. The second sister Chen was worried that it would affect Chen Wan's rest, so she offered to let him rest at the bungalow at night.

After unloading their luggage, the two went straight to the department store. The huge building with four floors is one of the symbols of Nancheng. Even though Chen Wan was well-informed, when he entered the department store, he was still shocked by the crowded scene inside.

Countless counters are dotted around, and the types of products they include far exceed those of the county department store. Chen Wan walked in with the flow of people, and learned from the conversations of others that there was a trade fair at the textile counter today, and he immediately became interested: "Shan Brother, let's go and have a look."

Chen Wan had a good idea, but when he arrived, he realized that the textile counter had already been crowded with three floors, and he couldn't touch it at all.

Forget it, anyway, he had Qian Guosheng to help him, so he couldn't lack the fabric, so Chen Wan gave up decisively and turned to the place that sold sewing machines.

He was lucky, a new batch of sewing machines had just arrived, otherwise, according to the past situation, this point would have been sold out by the people queuing up.

After Chen Wan paid the money, he got a delivery receipt for the sewing machine. He carefully put it in his bag, and then went to buy the hoe on the list with Xu Kongshan.

There were so many things to buy, Chen Wan almost ran around the entire department store, getting dizzy, and finally bought most of them.

Every time Chen Wan bought something, he ticked it off with a pen. Xu Kongshan had more and more things in his hand. Finally, he folded the list in half and announced that today's purchase task was successfully completed.

Big and small bags were piled up in the center of the living room, Chen Wan sat slumped on the sofa, Xu Kongshan unscrewed the lid of the kettle and brought it to Chen Wan's mouth.

Chen Wan's throat was so dry that it hurt. He took a few sips, and the water that he couldn't swallow slipped from the corner of his mouth and wet the front of his clothes.After Xu Kongshan finished drinking the remaining part of Chen Wan's pot, he raised the back of his hand and wiped his lower lip.

The department stores in the provincial capital are a little better. They deliver large items like sewing machines to your door.The delivery master moved the sewing machine to the living room, and Chen Wan gave the receipt and wrote his name on the list.

The distribution of the four bedrooms is three upstairs and one downstairs. Chen Wan plans to convert the downstairs bedroom into a dressing room.The inside had already been cleaned, so Xu Kongshan brought the sewing machine in and placed it beside Chen Wanzhi's window.

It was noon, Chen Wan was not in a hurry to pack his luggage, and went to eat a bowl of noodles with Xu Kongshan.Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to work.

The noodles were made by the chef himself, about half the thickness of chopsticks, and they tasted smooth and chewy. The soup made from pork bones was delicious, with chopped green onions sprinkled on top. Chen Wan swallowed reluctantly.

After eating and drinking enough, Chen Wan regained her energy and squatted on the ground to sort out their harvest.He was in charge of directing, and Xu Kongshan was in charge of execution. The two of them were like a newlywed couple building a love nest together, filling up the originally empty small bungalow bit by bit according to their own preferences.

"I'm so sleepy." Chen Wan collapsed on the newly made bed, the mat that was wiped with cold water was cool, and Chen Wan closed her eyes comfortably.The mosquito repellent around the bungalow grew vigorously. Even without Xu Kongshan's mosquito repellent, Chen Wan could still avoid mosquitoes in this weather.

Xu Kongshan closed the curtains to let Chen Wan sleep peacefully, and he was going to go downstairs to clear the yard.The light in the room dimmed. Chen Wan grabbed Xu Kongshan's arm and pulled it towards him. Xu Kongshan sat down on the bed without using any force.

"Brother Shan sleeps with me." Chen Wan rolled over and sat on Xu Kongshan's lap, put her hands on his shoulders and slowly pushed him down.

When Chen Wan woke up in the morning, Xu Kongshan's hands were still covering his ears, obviously he hadn't slept well either.

As Xu Kongshan lay down, Chen Wan's posture changed from a straddle to a kneeling ride. He looked down at Xu Kongshan condescendingly, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Although the room is dark, the strong sunlight passing through the gaps in the curtains still highlights the fact that it is daytime.

"Liu'er..." Xu Kongshan raised his hand to reach Chen Wan's waist, the warmth of his palm burned on Chen Wan's waist, Chen Wan leaned down and exchanged deep kisses with him.

Xu Kongshan turned over with Chen Wan in his arms, and the two switched positions.In Chen Wan's confusion, Xu Kongshan let go of him, but he did not forget his original intention, remembering that the purpose of the two lying on the bed was to sleep, the simple kind.

Chen Wan was obviously stunned, isn't it, is this reasonable?

Whether Chen Wan thought it was reasonable or not, Xu Kongshan didn't continue.Chen Wan stared dryly at the ceiling for a few seconds, sighed inwardly, and closed her eyes silently.

Chen Wan slept until mid-afternoon, Xu Kongshan didn't know when he got up, and on the bedside table was the watch he took off to show Chen Wan the time, it was past four o'clock.

Looking out of the window, Xu Kongshan dug out a one-foot-square area of ​​the lawn in the yard, exposing the yellow-brown soil underneath.

"Brother Shan, I found that there is hot water in the bathroom!" If you want to say that the most satisfying thing about the small bungalow is that it has running water. There are toilets with shower systems upstairs and downstairs, but there is no natural gas, and the kitchen is still the same. There is a wood stove and two briquette stoves.

Chen Wan thought he had to boil water for a bath, but there was no room for firewood and briquettes in the kitchen, and he was worried about where to get fuel, but he didn't expect to turn on the shower head, and the water that flowed onto his hands was actually hot.Chen Wan guessed that there should be an iron water tank installed on the roof, and the water inside would heat up after being exposed to the sun.

"Really?" Xu Kongshan didn't notice this detail. He spread the grass that had been shaken off the dirt on the ground, dried it and used it as kindling.

Chen Wan planned to find time to ask Qi Zhongkang about the fuel problem. He took Xu Kongshan, who had put away his hoe, to the bathroom to feel the hot water in the shower head.

"It's really convenient." Xu Kongshan couldn't help sighing, "Then Liuer, do you want to take a bath now?"

"Don't wash." Chen Wan shook her head, she was going back to Second Sister Chen's house for dinner tonight, and now she was sweating again after washing, isn't it a waste of time.

The bus honked its horn all the way to remind pedestrians and bicycles to avoid it. The road conditions were poor, and the heavy body bumped from time to time. Chen Wan tightly grasped the handrails, ignoring the scrutinizing eyes of everyone on the bus.

"I'm back, have you bought everything?" The second sister Chen is wearing an apron, Jiang Qinggong is playing chess with someone downstairs, the cramped kitchen can't accommodate the second person, Jiang Yingying is peeling beans in the living room, and the emerald green edamame jingle falls into the bottom of the enamel basin .

"It's almost there." Chen Wan sat down and peeled edamame together. Jiang Yingying taught him a trick of peeling edamame. Hold the tip of the pod vertically with your thumb and forefinger. With a little force, you can squeeze out a small hole, and then break it off again. Open, so as not to hurt the nails.

"Be careful it's hot." Second Sister Chen picked up the boiled edamame in the pot and poured it into a bowl, and brought it out for them as a snack. The steaming boiled edamame was moderately salty and full of the aroma of vegetable protein, "By the way, Liuer, Your third brother sent you a package."

Chen Jianjun's package arrived in the afternoon, and he sent it in the middle of the month. He was worried that the road would be delayed too long before Chen Wan's school started, so he filled in the address as Second Sister Chen's work unit.

The recipient was Second Sister Chen's name, and there were two large packages. Chen Jianjun said in the letter that the green one was for Chen Wan, so Second Sister Chen didn't move.

Wrapped in Jiang Yingjun's room, Chen Wan suppressed his curiosity and continued to peel raw edamame.Second Sister Chen heated up the oil, threw a handful of dried chilli into it, and with a prick, the smell of the chilli exploded instantly, causing Chen Wan to sneeze.

There was no window in the kitchen, and all the oily smoke poured into the living room. Second Sister Chen coughed a few times and asked Chen Wan and the others to go outside or stay in the bedroom.

There are also people cooking in the corridor, but the air is more circulated, so it is not so choking.Second Sister Chen and Jiang Qinggong were allocated a small room when they first got married. After seven or eight years of cooking in the hallway, the two of them increased their working years, and with the birth of Jiang Yingjun's brother and sister, the small room became more and more crowded. So I applied for a replacement.

Cooking in the corridor is not so suffocating, but others can see what they have done at a glance. When they eat meat, a bunch of children gather around the pot to watch. Half a catty of meat is left on the table.Second Sister Chen had had enough, and asked Jiang Qinggong to come out of the kitchen with wooden boards as soon as she changed houses.

Chen Wan chose to go into the bedroom, just in time to see what Chen Jianjun had sent.

The package is not big, boxy, but the weight is not light.After opening it, an envelope was glued to the top, and underneath it was an iron box that was as long as two palms.

After receiving Chen Wan's call to announce the good news, Chen Jianjun specially asked someone to learn more about what the major of finance and economics is, and what they can do after finishing the study.As we all know, in the 70s, the economies of Western countries were far ahead. If we want to develop economics, we must study the West, and the importance of foreign languages ​​has increased.Chen Jianjun could only understand half of what he heard, so he remembered the foreign language well.

Chen Jianjun is an upright man with great righteousness in mind. He has a very high prestige in the hearts of both the army and the residents of the patrol area, but he has never made it public. Now for Chen Wan, he made an exception and asked someone to buy a set of Oxford dictionaries and original English tape.

The tape that Chen Wan got from Zhang Yi had been burned many times, it was not genuine, and the quality was surprisingly poor, and it would be jammed within 5 minutes of putting it in the radio.If it weren't for Chen Wan's own excellent skills, there would be no way to improve his English level by relying on those few tapes.

Neither the dictionary nor the tape was opened, indicating that Chen Jianjun did not send it from the army, because everything from the army base, whether it is a letter or other, must be inspected.

Although they were not of much use given Chen Wan's English proficiency, what was most valuable was Chen Jianjun's intentions.According to the current market environment, most people can't buy these two things at all.

Chen Jianjun wrote two full pages of the letter, and the words between the lines are full of a brother's kind care for his younger brother.His kindness made Chen Wan's heart ache, and his attitude towards Chen Jianjun changed from avoidance to expectation.

Chen Wan closed the lid of the iron box, and Chen Jianjun reminded him that he could buy Xu Kongshan a Xinhua dictionary if he had the chance. When Xu Kongshan encounters a rare word and he happens to be away, Xu Kongshan can look it up in the dictionary by himself.
