Chapter 1090 News
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying walked out of the house, holding bowls, chopsticks and some side dishes.
Chen Qiaoyi smiled and said, "Don't stand around anymore, sit down and eat. Today's roasted whole lamb is Brother Ziwen's specialty, everyone is in for a treat."
Everyone gathered around the grill, eager to taste the delicacy.
Zhou Ziwen used a knife to cut the roasted lamb and distributed it to everyone.
Zhou Chaoyang took the mutton, took a big bite, and said incoherently: "Wow, it's delicious! This mutton is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy. Brother Ziwen, your cooking skills are amazing!"
Shen Zhaodi also nodded in praise: "Well, it's really delicious, and the sauce is just right, fragrant but not greasy."
Tang Yaoyao's mouth was full of oil. As she ate, she said, "I've never eaten such delicious roasted whole lamb. Brother Ziwen, you should make it more often in the future."
"Haha, if it's delicious, eat more." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Of course what he cooks is delicious, after all, he is a top-notch cook.
In this world, if he says his cooking skills are second to none, no one dares to say they are first.
Chen Shiying watched everyone enjoying their meal and said with a smile, "Take your time, there's still plenty to eat. Everyone's worked hard today, so consider this a reward."
Everyone ate roasted whole lamb and shared interesting stories about the autumn harvest.
Zhou Chaoyang swallowed the mutton and said, "Although the autumn harvest was busy this year, the harvest was good. Our village's grain output has reached a new high, and this is all thanks to Brother Ziwen's ideas."
Shen Zhaodi agreed, "Yes, and our mushroom, pig, and chicken farms are also developing better and better. These days are really becoming more and more hopeful."
Tang Yaoyao said with sparkling eyes, "I heard that people from the surrounding villages envy our Dabazi Village and want to come and learn from us."
Zhou Ziwen nodded slightly: "It's better for everyone to develop together. The changes in our village in recent years are obvious to everyone. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I hope that our village will get better and better in the future, and everyone's life will become more and more prosperous."
Everyone expressed their agreement, and laughter echoed in the yard.
At this time, Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan were also attracted by the fragrance.
Little Yueyue ran to Zhou Ziwen, tugged at his clothes, and said in a baby voice, "Daddy, I want to eat mutton too."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and picked up Yueyue. He tore off a small piece of mutton with his hands, blew on it gently, and fed it to her mouth: "Little Yueyue, be good, eat slowly, don't burn yourself."
Xiao Xuanxuan watched from the side, jumping anxiously: "I want one too, I want one too."
Chen Qiaoyi quickly fed Xiao Xuanxuan a piece of mutton and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone will have a share."
The presence of children made the atmosphere even warmer and more cheerful.
Everyone enjoyed the food while looking forward to a better life in the future.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Zhou Chaoyang patted his round belly and said contentedly, "Today's roasted whole lamb meal is so sumptuous. I feel like I can go back to the fields to work for another day."
Shen Zhaodi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You only know how to eat. Don't you see how fat you are?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Before leaving, Zhou Chaoyang quietly pulled Zhou Ziwen aside, looking like he had something to say.
"Chaoyang, what's wrong?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Brother Zhou, do you remember the last time you asked me for news?" Zhou Chaoyang asked mysteriously.
"News?" Zhou Ziwen was stunned, then he remembered.
"Are you talking about returning to the city? Did you get the news?"
"Brother Zhou, you're right. I received a letter from home. My dad told us to read more books. The opportunity to go to college may be coming soon."
Zhou Chaoyang said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Zhou Ziwen's heart moved. He had been looking forward to this opportunity, not only for his own future, but also to give his family a better life.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Did the letter mention the specific situation?"
Zhou Chaoyang scratched his head, trying to recall the contents of the letter. "My dad didn't go into too much detail, just saying that the situation has changed and that we should prepare in advance, learn more, and not miss this opportunity. Brother Zhou, do you think this means the college entrance examination will really be reinstated?"
Zhou Ziwen took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's very likely. The country has been developing over the years, and the demand for talent is increasing. Resuming the college entrance examination is the general trend. We must hurry and prepare."
According to the time calculation, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will be published in the newspapers at the end of this month, and the entire educated youth group will be excited at that time.
"Chaoyang, don't tell anyone about this. After all, we don't know whether the college entrance examination will be resumed or not." Zhou Ziwen warned.
"Okay, Brother Zhou, I'll tell you and won't tell anyone else." Zhou Chaoyang nodded heavily.
"Then let's tell Shen Zhaodi and the others about this later and let them prepare. Once the news is confirmed, we will be more confident." Zhou Ziwen said.
In fact, he knew the truth of this matter, but he didn't want to spread it.
After all, spreading this matter is a thankless task.
That evening, Zhou Ziwen gathered Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying, Shen Zhaodi, and Tang Yaoyao together. They sat together under the dim light, their faces filled with confusion and anticipation.
Zhou Ziwen cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I called everyone here today because I have something important to tell you. Chaoyang received a letter from home, asking us to study more, as we may have the opportunity to go to college soon. Although it's not certain whether the college entrance examination will be resumed, we must prepare in advance."
After hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then their eyes flashed with surprise.
Shen Zhaodi said excitedly, "Really? That's great! I've always been looking forward to an opportunity like this."
Tang Yaoyao also clapped her hands excitedly: "Wow, if we can go to college, we can learn a lot of new knowledge and our future will be broader."
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
Chen Qiaoyi said: "Brother Ziwen, no matter what, we must try our best."
Chen Shiying nodded: "Yes, we can't miss this opportunity that may change our destiny."
Zhou Ziwen felt very relieved when he saw everyone's positive attitude.
He began to arrange the next review plan:
"Starting tomorrow, we'll get up an hour earlier every morning to memorize the text and vocabulary. During the day, we'll do exercises when we have free time. In the evening, we'll all get together to discuss difficult questions. I'll teach you everything I know, and we'll help each other and make progress together."
In fact, the two sisters, Shen Zhaodi, and Tang Yaoyao all learned everything from the textbooks.
As early as two years ago, Zhou Ziwen had been preparing for this.
