466 Admission Notice On

the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, Fu Zhengtu borrowed a car from Mr. Hu and took the whole family on a tour of the city.

After decades, the capital has changed a lot. It is definitely different from the imperial city in Zhou Linglan's memory.

Passing Chang'an Avenue, the whole family bowed their heads in silence in front of the portraits of great men hanging in the square, and their mood could not calm down for a long time.

How many pioneers have fought for the prosperity of the motherland today and the stability of the world. We should thank them for their hard work along the way.

Chenchen ate the roast duck he had been thinking about. Although he thought it was not as delicious as his mother's, he was still very happy.

As soon as he got home, he kept talking about asking his father to build an oven so that he could eat his mother's roast duck in the future.

There were still a lot of bricks and tiles left over from the renovation in the courtyard, and there were two or three bags of cement in the house. Fu Zhengtu didn't have much time off, so he asked Su Taotao to determine the location and build an oven for Chenchen right away.

Su Taotao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's too cold. Let's wait until it's warmer. A few months won't make a difference. Do you want to tire your dad to death?"

Chenchen shook his head: "Then let's wait until the weather gets warmer."

Su Taotao: "I still need some time to re-plan the kitchen, and the oven will be built in the kitchen. The scenery in the courtyard is very good, and no grass or tree should be moved."

Su Taotao looked at the dried-up grape trellis and asked Zhou Linglan: "Mom, can the grapes grow on the trellis in spring? "

I don't know how many years the grapevine has grown, but its branches are thicker than the trunk. Even if it is dry now, I don't know if it can sprout in winter.

Zhou Linglan nodded: "Of course, it will cover the entire grape rack in spring, and you can enjoy the cool under the grape rack in summer."

Chenchen touched the grape rack, raised his head and exclaimed "Wow", "Grandma, it can still grow after being dry like this? Could this be the legendary dead tree coming back to life in spring? Can the pomegranate tree and the Chinese toon tree also grow leaves?"

Chenchen has lived in the south where there are green trees all year round since he was a child. He has never seen such a bare tree trunk. This question is really beyond the scope for him.

Zhou Linglan smiled and said: "Of course, it's like a dead tree coming back to life in spring."

…

The oven cannot be built for now, but Fu Zhengtu can still make Baibai’s doghouse and chicken coop while he has time.

The tool room is fully equipped with various tools and various wood scraps, so it can be done quickly.

Chenchen still wanted to build a small swimming pool to raise a few ducklings, but was rejected by Su Taotao. In fact, if Chenchen and Zhou Linglan hadn’t strongly requested it, she wouldn’t even want to raise chickens. No matter

how clean you are, once you raise chickens and ducks in the yard, the smell is inevitable.

In comparison, raising ducks Chickens take up more space and smell worse, so they had to give up raising ducks.

Chenchen and Zhou Linglan thought it was good to keep the chickens. They didn't want to raise ducks, just because they thought they would run away again like the "ungrateful" Xiao Yunduo.

The three gentlemen in the family worked together to build a chicken coop. After it was built, they moved it under the grape trellis and waited for the weather to warm up before buying chicks to raise. They

tidied up the house a little bit every day, and on the fifth day of the New Year, they tidied it up again. Finally, they had everything ready. On

the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Zhengtu officially started to work at the headquarters.

The headquarters is in the suburbs, very far from home. It takes three or four hours to go back and forth by bus. You can ride a bicycle to go in a straight line, but it takes several hours to go back and forth.

Fu Zhengtu can only apply for a single dormitory. He usually lives in the unit and can only go back to live on weekends.

In fact, Su Taotao is the same. College students generally require accommodation. At least in the first semester, Su Taotao has to live in the school honestly, and then she can live in the school according to the situation. Apply for living outside.

Chenchen is still young after all, and Su Taotao feels it is not good if his parents are not around. Huaqing

is not far from here, and it is only a few stops away by bus, so it is not a problem for him to go to school on foot.

The postman started delivering mail on the fourth day of the New Year, and some people nearby also received admission letters from the university. The cheers echoed throughout the alley.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the New Year, Mrs. Song and Mr. Hu came to visit in person.

People are in high spirits when they are happy. Mrs. Song has a rosy complexion and looks as if she has become a few years younger:

"Taotao, your admission letter has arrived, congratulations, Taotao, Huaqing University, it is one of the best universities in the country, you have a bright future! "

When the postman delivered the letter, he deliberately shouted "Congratulations, your family has produced a Huaqing university student, which brings honor to our alley."

It was just like the ancient times when someone won the first place in the imperial examination and came to announce the good news with gongs and drums.

Several families nearby and passers-by leaned over to look, all with envy on their faces.

It happened to be the New Year, and Mrs. Song was so happy that she gave the postman a big red envelope and gave candies to the adults and children who were watching, so that everyone could share in the joy.

Su Taotao knew what was going on. She took the admission notice and opened it to have a look. The reporting time was March 1st, which was still half a month away.

"I see Taotao doesn't seem surprised. Has the admissions office contacted you? "

After burning incense, Zhou Linglan came back and replied with a smile: "Taotao is the provincial number one scholar. The admissions office had already notified us in advance before we came."

"No wonder," Old Lady Song held Su Taotao's hand and looked around, "Birds of a feather flock together. Your whole family is smart, and Linglan was very good at studying when she was young. Otherwise..."

"Ahem," Old Man Hu cleared his throat, and Old Lady Song stopped talking in time and changed the topic:

"Zhengtu has always been the first in study, and so are Ahang and Chenchen, right?"

Su Taotao nodded: "Yes, they are all very good at studying, I'm far behind, it's just luck. "

Su Taotao said this not to be modest. Compared with geniuses, she is at most not stupid, but not particularly smart.

Old Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Don't be modest. How can you be stupid if you can get into Huaqing? It's such a happy thing, why don't we celebrate?"

Su Taotao nodded, "Okay, you choose the place, I'll host, and we'll celebrate."

Old Mrs. Song said, "Isn't that too formal? It's such a cold day, it's best to eat hot pot at home. Xiao Zhang has already prepared the dishes and will deliver them soon. We'll eat at home."

Su Taotao smiled and said, "Grandma Song is still thoughtful. I'll prepare two more side dishes. "

Mrs. Song held Su Taotao's hand and said, "Don't bother. It's so cold. The hot pot is enough. Come in and talk to me.

Linglan, come over too. The three of us can have a good chat."

Grandpa Hu took out a chess set and said cheerfully, "Ah Hang, Chenchen, the female comrades are talking about their own things, and we three grandpas will play chess."

Chenchen tilted his head to look at Grandpa Hu, "Grandpa Hu, Mom said that the chessboard is unpredictable, and victory and defeat are common in the military. We should enjoy the process of playing chess, rather than being obsessed with winning or losing."

"Okay, okay, Chenchen is very good, well said! Taotao is also a good teacher!" Grandpa Hu said three "good"s in a row, showing that he was really happy.

Chenchen continued, "Grandpa Hu, actually I just asked in advance, just in case, I said just in case, if I accidentally beat you, you won't cry, right?"

Su Taotao didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.

Chenchen is a man who is afraid of the rope after being bitten by a snake once. His brother, who is only a few years older than him, cried when he lost to him. Grandpa Hu is several decades older than him. If he can't afford to lose, won't he cry until the Great Wall collapses?

Grandpa Hu burst into laughter and touched the child's head:

"Don't cry, don't cry. A real man sheds blood but not tears. If Chenchen can beat me, I will be so happy that I can't wait. Why are you crying? Come on, let's play chess and see who wins!"
