Half a month passed in a flash, and Teacher Gao came to pick up the children.
"How did you two gain so much weight?"
Teacher Gao saw Li Wu and Tang Sheng and couldn't help laughing and crying. It was normal for the children to gain some weight when they went home during this period. However, the faces of Li Wu and Tang Sheng had become much rounder, which was a bit excessive. They must have had a really good diet.
Teacher Gao led the group to pick up the other children along the way. When Jiang Cheng saw the two of them, his pupils dilated.
"Did you eat a whole pig when you went home?"
Jiang Cheng was already surprised by the weight he had gained himself. After weighing himself, he even ate half less of his dinner last night, fearing that the coach would scold him when he went back. But now, comparing with Li Wu and Tang Sheng, he felt that his few pounds of weight gain were nothing.
"No, we ate seven or eight chickens, two geese, three ducks, some fish, and a lot of sugar cakes. Grandpa Zhou's braised pork..."
Li Wu counted on his fingers and listed the dishes, making Jiang Cheng and the others hungry.
"Stop, stop, stop. What about you? It's no wonder he's so fat if he eats so much. What about you?"
Jiang Cheng quickly interrupted. In just half a month, this guy could really eat.
"I ate a little less than him. Because I was at home for the first two days, and after going to find him on the third day, I've been hanging out and eating with him ever since, and this is what happened."
Tang Sheng said. Jiang Cheng couldn't believe it.
"You, you two ate good food behind our backs. You were only separated for two days during the half - month holiday. What about us?"
Jiang Cheng accused. Li Wu blinked his eyes, and Tang Sheng touched his nose. How could they explain this? They had had so much fun that they really forgot. Tang Sheng hadn't even gone back to his own home for several days.
He had never played those computer mini - games before. And the stories told by the old folks in the orchard were so interesting that he didn't want to miss any of them. The food was delicious, the fruits were delicious, and they were constantly being given snacks. They could climb up and down without being scolded, and they would even be praised for being energetic.
They were very active and had big appetites, but they didn't need to do long - term training, and they could play with water. There were also many little friends. No wonder Li Wu was so lively. Tang Sheng really understood it. If it were him, he would also be extremely cheerful and lively.
Originally, knowing that Li Wu had a younger brother who was extremely good at studying, Jiang Cheng was worried that Li Wu would be overshadowed and unhappy. But after really getting in touch, having a younger brother who was a genius student was amazing. Who could be jealous? No wonder Li Wu was willing to do those exercise books.
Before Li Wu could even open his mouth, Tang Sheng rambled on and on, making Jiang Cheng and the others eager.
"I'll go to your home to play the next time we have a holiday. I must see what your younger brother, this genius student, looks like."
Li Wu suddenly felt a sense of crisis. What were these guys up to? That was his younger brother. They all seemed to be trying to snatch him away.
"Yes, in the future, Li Wu, don't forget about us when your younger brother sends over the books and exercise books. If we had known earlier, we would have studied more seriously. Where can you get such good study materials? They were even personally sorted out by a genius student. No wonder they were so easy to understand when studying."
Early in the morning, Li Wen pulled Wang Xing out for a run.
"We've already run a thousand meters. Can we go back now?"
Wang Xing didn't expect that Li Wen not only studied hard but also started to be competitive in exercise.
"Run another thousand meters. From now on, we can't run less than five kilometers every day. We should also go out for some activities at noon and run another two thousand meters in the evening."
During this period, Li Wen had been buried in his studies and hadn't exercised like this for a long time. In this half - month, he felt the gap between himself and Li Wu. Li Wu could play all day long, climbing up and down without getting tired, and Li Wen couldn't even keep up with him. They used to be about the same.
Grandpa Yang and the others were right. The body was the capital of revolution, and having a good body was very important. He had been too negligent and must start paying attention to it again.
The children went back to their respective studies and training. Yang Yufen felt that the half - month of excitement had passed in a flash, and finally, she got through to Shen Xianjun on the phone.
None of the recipes were handed down from ancestors. They were all just Shen Xianjun's own ideas. Yang Yufen was not stingy at all. If you were willing to put in the seasonings, the food couldn't be bad.
During this period, Shen Xianjun had also adapted. The initial learning of mechanical repair was complicated, but once he understood it, everything became clear. Compared with his wife's highly confidential job, his job was no longer as highly classified as before, and he called home more often.
"Happy cooperation. I hope there will be more cooperation opportunities in the future."
Boss Huo said goodbye to Fan Juan and successfully won the project. Next, it was time to prepare for the project implementation.
"Xiao Fan, this Boss Huo is a nice guy. I think he has feelings for you. Why don't you consider it?"
Fan Juan's leader asked with concern.
"Don't make fun of me. My focus now is on contributing to the country. I'm not in a hurry to deal with personal issues."
"You young people are so ambitious. But when you meet a good one, don't miss the chance."
Liao Yuanjie rubbed his nose. Why did his nose always itch? After thinking for a while, he continued to write with the pen in his hand.
"Hey, what are you writing? You've already filled three pieces of letter paper. How many words do you have to say?"
Liao Yuanjie's roommate came in and saw Liao Yuanjie writing a letter at the desk under the lamp and joked.
"Dear Comrade Fan Juan. Oh, so you're writing to your sweetheart. No wonder you can't finish writing in three pages."
"Get out of here. Who allows you to peek at others' letters?"
Liao Yuanjie pushed his roommate away in disgust.
He still had a lot to say. He wondered if Comrade Fan Juan had lost weight, if she had been eating well recently, and her work must be very busy. He couldn't help with anything.
Thinking of this, his pen stopped.
"Why don't you write anymore? I won't look. A good woman can't stand a persistent man. You mustn't miss a good girl. Write more. If you don't have enough letter paper or stamps, I'll lend them to you."
"Don't you write to your family?"
Liao Yuanjie looked at his roommate.
"My wife can't read. It's enough to send the money back."
"How did you two meet?"
Liao Yuanjie asked curiously.
"We were introduced by a matchmaker. Although she can't read, she is very gentle and filial. She takes care of all the household chores, and the children never give me any trouble. Since I can't accompany her and the children, I can only work hard to get promoted. Later, when she was able to join me in the military camp, our family got better, but she still always hates to spend money."
Liao Yuanjie sealed the written letter and put all his allowance in it. Although he knew that Fan Juan earned more than him, this was the money he earned, and he didn't want Fan Juan to be stingy with money.
"Comrade Fan Juan, you have a registered letter. Please sign for it."
Just as Fan Juan was about to leave, the old man in the mailroom called her. She signed her name and was a bit puzzled about who would send a letter without an address.
The letter was very thick. Fan Juan held it in her hand, then turned around and went back to the office to open the envelope.
