Chapter 279 It's hard to find even with a lantern



If it were in the past, Feng Anchen really didn't want to work so hard to get into Peking University. Although he was a local and his scores were not as high as those of people from other places, it would still be very difficult. He always studied as he pleased, studying when he wanted to and putting it aside when he didn't want to. But to get into Peking University, one must study seriously. Even if he was a genius, he couldn't just fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

When he decided to go back to school, he felt that he had already done his grandfather and his family a great favor by being admitted to an architectural university.

But now he has changed his mind. He wants to be admitted to Peking University together with Jiawen. This should not be difficult for him.

He nodded happily, "Uncle, I will study hard this semester and try to study in the same university as Brother Jiawen..."

He felt very happy.

When the time comes, let Xiaoxi also apply to the same school as him.

At that time, he could become Xiaoxi's senior, and when he went to college, he could openly take Xiaoxi along that tree-lined path.

The prospects are bright, and Feng Anchen’s smile is so bright.

Shen Yu felt dizzy.

Such a good-looking boy smiled like this, which made him born with certain privileges. Even Shen Yu couldn't help but soften his brows and said in a gentle voice, "I know."

Just four simple words, Shen Yu understood them, and Feng Anchen understood them even better.

The young man went to chop firewood with Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan with a smile on his face.

Such a big house, with several large kangs and a kitchen, would require a considerable amount of firewood in this cold winter without coal.

Corn stalks alone are not enough.

Since Feng Anchen came to Kaoshantun, he has learned things that he couldn't do before. He can swing a hoe in the fields and chop firewood with an axe.

In Chen Li's eyes, Feng Anchen, who is handsome, studious and capable, is hard to find in this world except for her son.

It's time to light a fire and prepare lunch.

Chen Li went to fetch firewood.

I saw Feng Anchen and Qingshan swinging axes, while Jiawen was stacking the firewood neatly.

The three of them cooperated very well.

They were chatting and laughing, just like good brothers.

Chen Li also knew that Feng Anchen might never come back after he left, and she felt a little sorry. However, for her, no matter how good the child was, he still belonged to someone else as long as his home was in Beijing.

She shook her head regretfully, picked up a pile of firewood and went to the kitchen.

Feng Anchen was particularly happy today. Seeing Aunt Shen carrying a pile of firewood into the kitchen, he then put down his axe, bent down and picked up another big bunch of firewood, and followed Chen Li with light steps.

Shen Qingshan stopped swinging the axe and looked at his brother who was standing there stacking firewood.

Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan naturally didn't know that Feng Anchen had ever had such complicated thoughts, and with so many things happening these days, they really didn't pay special attention to how Feng Anchen treated Xiaoxi.

But the two of them knew it very well. They were not fools. How could they not see it so obviously?

Shen Qingshan's face flushed instantly. He looked up and saw his mother smiling brightly. He couldn't help but say, "Brother, you've been so busy these days. I don't have time."

"A few days ago, thanks to Aunt Su and Juanzi for helping us cook and bringing us so many steamed buns and bean curd, my father will definitely give them some wild boar meat later. When you send the wild boar meat over, don't forget to help Aunt Su's family with some work.

Shen Jiawen taught his younger brother seriously.

Shen Qingshan thought about it and felt that his elder brother was right, but he was a little embarrassed. "Brother, every time I go to Aunt Su's house, she doesn't let me do much work."

"Not asking you to work is just a courtesy, are you that stubborn?"

Then Shen Jiawen changed the subject, "Besides, how have Aunt Su and Juanzi treated you over the years? Don't you know what's going on?"

"Of course I know."

Shen Jiawen looked really serious this time, "Qingshan, too many things have happened in our family in the past two days. In everyone's eyes, we will move out of Kaoshantun sooner or later. In their eyes, we are different from them now. If you don't go and reassure Aunt Su now, you will regret it later."

Shen Jiawen is actually a blank slate when it comes to emotions, but he is good at analyzing human nature. His silly brother didn't pay attention these two days, but he noticed that except for Aunt Su and Juanzi helping to cook two meals on the first day, no one came after that.

Maybe he didn't want to disturb his own family, or maybe he wanted to avoid suspicion.

After all, the random words that Old Lady Shen said that day still embarrassed Aunt Su, so she didn't come to her house almost every day like she used to.

In this world, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is very difficult to provide timely assistance.

Although I don’t know what will happen to them in the future, we should not forget our roots.

Especially Qingshan’s attitude towards Juanzi.

After Shen Jiawen's reminder, Shen Qingshan finally realized that he had not spoken to Juanzi for several days.

Girls can’t be kept when they grow up, and boys can’t be kept when they grow up either…

Shen Qingshan figured it out, threw the axe there, stopped working, ran to Shen Yu, scratched the back of his head, and laughed.

The Shen family's yard was big enough, and the firewood was placed in the corner. Shen Yu was sorting wild boar meat under the window, so naturally he didn't hear what his two sons said.

When he saw his silly son coming over, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here instead of chopping wood? I don't need your help here."

Looking at the piles of wild boar meat, Shen Qingshan laughed, "Dad, my eldest brother said that you will definitely send some wild boar meat to Aunt Su's family. So... Aunt Su's family asked me to go..."

Shen Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at his eldest son standing in the distance, curled the corners of his mouth, and did not make things difficult for Shen Qingshan. Besides, why not use the labor that was offered to him on his own initiative?

He pointed to the spare ribs and large pieces of pork belly placed on another large plate and said, "You came at the right time. Divide the meat on that plate into eight portions and send them to Aunt Su's house first."

In fact, he had wanted to wait until the Chinese New Year to give it to them as a New Year gift, but now he thought, there is no need to wait, there are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year. Giving it to them now will let them know that he is still the same Shen Yu, and will not be alienated from them because of the so-called changes in identity and status.
