As soon as Cen Zhengnian returned to the base, he started to work without even putting down his luggage.

He first solved the problems in the project, and he was still busy after solving the problems. It was not until now that he had finished a stage of work and had some free time.

It was already mid-November.

The letters and things sent by Chuxia and Cen Huaian had actually been put away for several days. Only now did he have time to sit down and read them.

Chuxia still wrote a lot of letters, about Cen Huaian's autumn outing, her troubles at work, and the problems she encountered when studying.

She wrote a whole page just about making bookmarks, which made Cen Zhengnian laugh, and he even wanted to go out and find a few ginkgo leaves to make some bookmarks.

An'an's letters were mixed with Chinese characters and pinyin, not many, just like writing a diary.

Dad, after you went back to work, Mom and I went to class and work every day, nothing changed.

On Tuesday we went on an autumn outing, I picked up ginkgo leaves, and made bookmarks with Mom. This is quite difficult, Mom made it better, I made a lot of mistakes.

Mom said that many of the things you sent were sent by grandma, so I also sent the bookmarks to grandma. Mom

also said that my great-grandfather in Beijing helped her a lot, so I also sent him bookmarks.

Dad, are you very busy at work? If you are very busy, you can send the letter back later.

Best regards!

Cen Huaian

In addition to the letter and bookmarks, the package sent in early summer also contained some winter clothes, all of which were worn inside sweaters and trousers, and only a black lapel double-breasted coat was worn outside.

Chu Xia said in the letter that he happened to see this coat and thought it was very suitable for him, so he bought it, and he thought it was just right for him now.

Cen Zhengnian touched the clothes and felt that his tired body seemed to be injected with warm power again. Just as he was about to take off his clothes to try them on, the door of his dormitory was suddenly pushed open from outside.

"Zhengnian, I just thought of a new idea for an experiment..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Yu Tian saw the coat that Cen Zhengnian had spread on the bed.

Cen Zhengnian calmly put down his clothes, picked up the coat and sweater and trousers on the bed and was about to put them away.

Yu Tian flashed in with an ambiguous smile: "Zhengnian, your coat is nice, did you buy it recently?"

Cen Zhengnian ignored him, hung the clothes in the closet, then turned around and said with a gentle smile: "My family sent it to me."

The smile on his face surprised Yu Tian, ​​she had never seen him so warm.

Usually, Cen Zhengnian is serious and earnest at work. He has little free time, so he is always alone in the dormitory or office reading and calculating.

Such a gentle smile without any sense of distance is rare.

Yu Tian smiled even more ambiguously: "It looks like it was sent by my sister-in-law, no wonder you look so happy today."

Cen Zhengnian did not answer, he got up and walked out, the gentle smile on his face was restrained a little, he didn't really want to talk more about family matters with Yu Tian.

"My dormitory is not a place for work. Let's go to the lab to talk."

Yu Tian saw what he meant and stopped asking questions. He walked out with him while talking.

However, Cen Zhengnian was usually too reserved. Now when he saw him coming down to earth, he couldn't help but tease him a few more times.

Fang Lingling happened to pass by the two of them. When he heard Yu Tian say that Cen Zhengnian's wife had sent something, he asked Cen Zhengnian what he had sent and whether he had sent a lot to make Cen Zhengnian look so happy.

She couldn't help but feel sad when she heard these words. She said jokingly, "It seems that Engineer Cen and his wife have a good relationship. I used to see that Engineer Cen always sent money and things home, and I thought that Engineer Cen's wife didn't understand romance. I didn't expect that she could also be caring."

Cen Zhengnian glanced at her, and Fang Lingling's smile froze, as if he could see through her thoughts.

Cen Zhengnian retracted his gaze and said lightly, "The base is a place for work. I hope my private affairs will not become the focus of everyone's discussion."

Fang Lingling's face instantly turned red, and she wanted to find a place to hide in embarrassment. She knew that Cen Zhengnian was talking about her, and she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart. She and Cen Zhengnian grew up in the same family, so why didn't he have any youthful friendship for her?

She had heard that his wife was forced by his family to marry her. She was a girl from a working class family. She was not presentable and petty. How could she be worth his attention?

Unfortunately, Cen Zhengnian left with Yu Tian after he finished speaking. Yu Tian knew that his mouth had caused trouble, so he didn't dare to say more and concentrated on talking to Cen Zhengnian about work.

Northwest Team.

Jiang Shengnan finally waited until her husband was free and hurriedly took him to see the things sent by Chuxia and An'an.

"I sent so many gifts back to Liangzhou because I was afraid that Chuxia would feel wronged for marrying our Zhengnian, after all, he couldn't come home for such a long time. This is the first time I have received something from her."

The original owner used to spend all her time and energy on her natal family except for sending a letter to Cen Zhengnian every few months. Wang Yulan never taught her the etiquette of reciprocity, and she didn't understand it.

She was even afraid of Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father. She thought they were both officials and too awe-inspiring. She just wanted to stay as far away from them as possible, let alone take the initiative to send letters.

Therefore, Jiang Shengnan knew nothing except that she knew from Cen Zhengnian that she and An An were doing well.

Although Jiang Shengnan received many gifts at this time, just bookmarks, scarves, medicinal wine and other things that were not bad, but they also represented her thoughts.

Jiang Shengnan was so happy: "Old Cen, look at this scarf, it is exactly what I like. How did Chuxia know that it is windy here? I like dark green scarves. And this medicinal wine is just right for you. Haven't you been feeling uncomfortable in your waist recently? I can use this medicinal wine to rub you. Tell me, did she ask Zhengnian to prepare it for us?"

Father Cen: I think you are overthinking.

But he smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "I think so. My waist is not very strong now, you rub it for me."

Jiang Shengnan immediately put down the scarf that she was gesturing in front of the mirror and said: "Come on! Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

After rubbing her waist, the air was filled with the smell of medicinal wine. At this moment, Jiang Shengnan finally calmed down her happy mood and continued to read the letter.

"An An also wrote to us! This bookmark was made by An An and Chu Xia for us!"

Jiang Shengnan shouted in surprise, overjoyed.

Father Cen looked at the bookmarks and was a little afraid to touch them, "Which ones were made by An An? Which ones were made by Chu Xia?"

"Leave all the ones made by Chuxia to me, and give you two of An'an's."

Father Cen looked at Jiang Shengnan in disbelief: "So many bookmarks! You only give me two? No, give me two more."

Jiang Shengnan looked at the bookmarks with "Peace" and "Happiness" written on them, and was reluctant to give either one.

But in the end, under the strong request of Father Cen, she gave him a bookmark made by An'an with "Peace" written on it.

"Okay, I will keep the rest well. It's good to give you three. Don't lose them, otherwise you will have none in the future."

Father Cen frowned and glared at her: "How could I lose them!"

Grandpa Cen from Beijing was the first to receive the things, but Grandma Cen had passed away a long time ago. He had the largest share among his generation in Beijing, and no one dared to compete with him. He happily took all the things.

Then he began to show off in the circle of friends who were still alive.

"Although the bookmarks made by my great-grandson are not so delicate and the handwriting is not very good, he is only five years old. It is a thoughtful gift after all. As his great-grandfather, I am happy to receive it."

After saying this, he carefully closed the box containing the bookmarks, and his friends were not allowed to touch it.

"Old Shen, don't touch it. The leaf bookmarks are fragile. Don't let me damage them."

"Old Li, I remember your great-grandson is seven years old. Did I give you anything?"

"Old Gu..."

These old children were so angry that they went home and called their children to say that they were unfilial. They had so many great-grandchildren, but they didn't even make something for them. These children

were scolded so aggrieved. They gave so many things to the elderly during the New Year and festivals, but they were still accused of being unfilial.

But since the old father wanted it, they had to find the younger generation to do it for the old man. Otherwise, would he be called over and scolded even though he was so old?

For a while, the leaves of ginkgo trees, maple trees, poplar trees, and sycamore trees in the capital all suffered.

But it was not the first time they had to do it.

Only the younger generation of an old man in one family was thoughtful and wrote a big character by hand to make the great-grandfather happy, and then a new wave of showing off came.

Of course, Chuxia and Cen Huaian in Liangzhou did not know what happened in the northwest and the capital.

At this time, Chuxia was experiencing the monthly exam at the end of November.

The capital would send the test papers every month, and Chuxia was still very nervous about studying. Every night, she would either do exercises or recite.

Cen Huaian would watch cartoons at the lowest volume so as not to disturb his mother.

The cartoon he is watching now is called "The Nine-Colored Deer". It is a favorite of all children nowadays. When Chuxia is tired of studying, she will also watch it once or twice. It is very good.

Cen Huaian watches it every day.

He does not have much homework, and he finishes it at school. When he gets home, he practices calligraphy and learns Go. It is enough time to study after watching cartoons.

Chuxia does not force him to spend all his time studying. As long as he controls the time for fun and study, and does not indulge in TV all the time, she will not care about him.

Cen Huaian is very conscious and turns off the TV after watching.

Because when he was not conscious, he was deducted the little red flower. He learned his lesson every time he was deducted. The back of the TV will get hot, and he will not be able to hide it from his mother if he secretly watches TV.

Chuxia's grades are steadily improving. Her seat in the examination room is now fixed in the first examination room, and she has been sitting in the front.

At this time, she was sitting in the third position, with two classmates in front of her.

Now all the students in the second grade of No. 9 Middle School know that there is a transfer student named Luo Chuxia who is very good. She is not in school but her grades are still running ahead, and she learns better than them in school.

Everyone thinks that she must have a secret of learning.

Therefore, when Chuxia was taking the exam in the examination room, more than one student passed by her, just hoping to see how she was reviewing.

Unfortunately, Chuxia didn't bring anything except paper and pen. She only brought books when taking the Chinese and political exams, but everyone had books.

There was only the last English exam left, and everyone knew that Chuxia would hand in the paper early. English was her strong point, and she had never scored less than 100 points.

Her English composition was always used as an example by all the teachers in the grade to be circulated to everyone for study.

Therefore, when Chuxia returned to her seat after going to the toilet, the girl who ranked first walked in front of her.

"Hello, classmate Luo, I'm Wang Chaoxi."

Wang Chaoxi frowned, as if she had encountered something very difficult. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

Chuxia was much older than her in both real age and mental age. She looked at a classmate like her as a little sister.

Moreover, she did not feel any malice from Wang Chaoxi, but only a sense of unyielding vigor and fighting spirit.

She smiled and said, "Hello, classmate Wang, what can I do for you?"

Wang Chaoxi gritted her teeth and finally closed her eyes and said why she came: "Classmate Luo, I want to know how you study? Do you have any secrets to study? Of course, this is your private matter, and it doesn't matter if you don't say it. I'm sorry, I'm forcing you, you don't have to say it."

Wang Chaoxi spoke very quickly, and her face flushed as she was about to leave.

She really had no other choice. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get 100 in English. Although she was ranked first, she saw Chu Xia getting closer and closer to her.

She felt a huge crisis. She always felt that Chu Xia would surpass her next time, and then she would never catch up.

This made her unable to help but run out to ask Chu Xia for the secret of studying. But after asking, she felt that she was doing something wrong.

The students in her class kept their studies very secret, and no one would tell anyone if they had a secret.

Sometimes she didn't want to answer when someone asked her a question. Why did she think Chu Xia was willing to tell? That's why she apologized later.

Chuxia stopped her from running away, and said after a moment of hesitation: "Actually, I don't have any secrets, just do more exercises and memorize more."

Wang Chaoxi's eyes lit up and dimmed in an instant: "I also did a lot of exercises, and I finished all the exercises the teacher gave me."

Chuxia actually did not only the exercises the teacher gave her, but also the exercises sent by Grandpa Cen in Beijing and her mother-in-law in the northwest.

She didn't know where they found the various exercises, but the names of different high schools were written on the exercises of each subject.

The types of the exercises were varied, and many of them were deeper than the exercises given by the teachers of No. 9 Middle School and covered a wider range of knowledge.

When Chuxia was doing them, she felt that it was better than doing the exercises of No. 9 Middle School alone, which helped her improve her grades faster and grasp the knowledge points more deeply.

When she was talking to Wang Chaoxi, she also noticed that many classmates around her were looking at her. Their eyes thirsting for knowledge made Chu Xia want to say a few more words.

But these were questions that Grandpa Cen and her mother-in-law found for her. If she bought them herself, she wouldn't mind sharing them with classmates who love to learn.

The exam mainly depends on your own ability, and you can't improve your grades just by doing questions.

Although it helps, it's useless if you do too much without absorbing it.

Chu Xia looked at Wang Chaoxi, then looked at the expectant eyes around her, and said, "Then you have to see if you have absorbed all the questions you did."

Wang Chaoxi wanted to ask more questions, but the invigilator came in, so she could only return to her seat.

After Chu Xia went back, the eyes of those classmates always appeared in her mind. The teacher at No. 9 Middle School also helped her a lot. Even when she didn't go to class, he selflessly shared knowledge and test papers with her. She looked at the test papers on her desk and finally couldn't help but go to the canteen. She

called Grandpa Cen first to ask if he minded her sharing the test papers with classmates, and then called her mother-in-law.

No one answered the call to Jiang Shengnan, but she received a call from Jiang Shengnan in the evening.

Grandpa Cen and Jiang Shengnan both had the same idea. The test papers were given to her and she could do whatever she wanted with them. She could share them with whoever she wanted.

And they highly praised her selfless spirit, which made Chuxia dizzy. She couldn't help but wonder, is she that selfless? Why did they make her sound like Lei Feng?

In fact, it was just sharing the test papers with classmates. Wasn't this a very normal thing in the previous life? If you do well in the exam, you will be invited by the teacher to share your learning experience.

However, experiments have shown that even if the top students teach you how to study, the top students are still top students, and the poor students are still poor students. No matter how many secrets and experiences are shared, those who don't want to study still can't get high scores.

Chuxia sorted out the test papers sent from Beijing and Northwest and took them to school.

Of course, she didn't give them to the students, but gave them to her class teacher, who would return them to her after the class teacher made copies.

Needless to say, the class teacher and the teachers of No. 9 Middle School were very happy, and even the director of the Academic Affairs Office came to praise Chuxia as a good student.

"The best thing I have ever done in my life is to agree to let you take the transfer exam!"

The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office wanted to praise her greatly and wanted to praise her throughout the whole grade, but Chu Xia refused: "I don't want too many classmates to know that I shared the test paper."

She just wanted to spend her second year of high school in No. 9 Middle School in a low-key manner. Sharing the test paper was only what she thought of after Wang Chaoxi ran away.

Otherwise, Chu Xia would not know that so many classmates wanted to know her test secret.

"I don't want them to treat me specially. The teachers can just say that it was a classmate who was learning from Lei Feng who shared it. Let's talk about it after the college entrance examination. Teachers, I just want to be a transfer student quietly. I hope the teachers can meet my request."

Indeed, Chu Xia only came to take the exam, and her grades improved very high, and the test paper she shared would easily attract the attention of many classmates.

There may be good and bad things in it.

Since she said so and it was her test paper that she shared, the director and teachers could only agree to her.

As December came, the weather became colder and colder, and Chuxia and Cen Huaian began to wear cotton clothes.

That day, she accidentally got up late in the morning and came to the factory a little later than usual, and she heard people in the office talking about her.
