"How is your work lately?" Chen Yinchu did not treat Chen Lishu as an outsider. After watching her sit down, he turned around and asked about his nephew's work.
Now that the whole country is being rehabilitated and decapitated, Chen Guoping was just transferred back to the province from where he was previously decentralized last month.
Chen Guoping nodded: "It's okay, but you also know that although the turmoil has passed, the aftermath is still there. To be honest, I often feel anxious. After all, there were not a few people who ate 'pancakes' back then."
This was also one of the purposes of his coming here this time. In addition to visiting the two elders, he also wanted to hear Chen Yinchu's opinions.
He is a man of action, especially his grassroots work in the past few years, which has made him deeply aware of the country's desperate need for improvement, and he is eager to make achievements. However, everything that his family has suffered is still fresh in his mind.
He was still hesitating whether to go with the flow or face the difficulties.
After listening to his words, Chen Yinchu pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know much about current affairs. From the perspective of education, since the decision to resume the college entrance examination last year, most people are afraid that the country will only open the college entrance examination for this session, but the school will
We have now started preparing for enrollment this fall.”
Chen Yinchu paused as he spoke, looked at his nephew and smiled: "Actually, no matter what choice you make, uncle, I will definitely support you."
Chen Lishu didn't know much about current affairs, but she had the experience of living decades longer than others. Naturally, she also saw the rapid development of the country later. Looking at Chen Guoping, who was deep in thought, she thought for a while and said: "Uncle Chen,
I think reform and opening up is inevitable. As for the 'pancake flipping' you mentioned, it probably won't exist. I firmly believe that the country will usher in earth-shaking changes in the near future."
"Oh?" Chen Guoping became more energetic after hearing her words: "Xiao Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Yinchu also smiled and urged: "Yes, Xiao Chen, tell us quickly." As a student, his ideas are always refreshing, and maybe this time he will be able to inspire Guoping as well.
"Opinion is out of the question."
Chen Lishu said with a smile: "I just think that Uncle Chen, you may be a fan of the authorities. Take the resumption of the college entrance examination as an example. It took less than two months from the issuance of the documents to the holding of the examination. This shows that the leaders at the top are eager to
Determination to change the status quo.”
"That's right." Chen Guoping nodded. Seeing her pause, he encouraged: "Xiao Chen, please continue."
"Another point is that the superiors no longer take the theory of family origin and politics so seriously, otherwise they wouldn't be able to vindicate everyone. Change takes time, and naturally it also requires people like you, Uncle Chen, to dare to think and act.
A good cadre.”
Chen Guoping felt a surge of emotion in his heart when he heard her words. Yes, he was stuck in his ways.
Now that he can be transferred back, doesn't it just show the attitude of the above? He has been sent down once, how bad can the worst result be this time?
After thinking about it, Chen Guoping's whole mental outlook changed, his eyes became firm, and the smile on his face became sincere.
"You guys can't stop talking about it. Are you thirsty? This is my mother-in-law's tea. Drinking it this season is the most irritating."
Han Xiuyun came out of the kitchen, holding a large tea jar in his hand. Chen Lishu quickly stood up and took it in her hand, and poured a cup of Po-Ding tea for each of Chen Yinchu and Chen Guoping.
"Teacher, do you think I brought you something good this time?" Chen Lishu suddenly thought of the purpose of her coming here and said to Chen Yinchu with a smile.
"You kid, what are you giving me again? Didn't I tell you last time that you should open your mouth when you come here? Your teacher and I will be angry if you do this again." When Han Xiuyun heard her words, he immediately scolded her unhappily.
.
"Teacher and my wife have said so, so I will return this book to you." Chen Lishu said, opening her satchel and revealing the newly acquired book to Chen Yinchu.
When he saw that it was the book he had been looking for for a long time, Chen Yinchu's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up from his seat: "Of course you can bring a book."
Taking the book in his hand and looking at it carefully, Chen Yinchu said curiously: "Xiao Chen, where did you get this book? I went to several bookstores and even asked someone to ask for it for a long time, but I still couldn't find out."
Chen Lishu pursed her lips and smiled: "I went to the scrap collection station."
Then Chen Lishu briefly explained why she was looking for books.
When Chen Yinchu heard that she bought the book he had been looking for for only 20 cents, he immediately felt dumbfounded.
"The old man was very enthusiastic. I was really embarrassed, so I bought this when I came out." Chen Lishu said and took out the cup that was not a cup or a pen holder, not a pen holder.
Chen Guoping was startled when he saw what was in her hand. He quickly took it and looked at it carefully: "Xiao Chen, you may have found a treasure!"
Chen Lishu was surprised: "Baby?"
When Chen Yinchu heard Chen Guoping's words, he quickly picked up his reading glasses and put them on.
"There's so much dirt on it that you can't even see its original appearance. It needs to be cleaned up first, but I'm sure this thing is definitely an old thing."
Although Chen Guoping said this, Chen Lishu still didn't believe it. She just picked it up casually. If it was really a treasure, it would have been discovered by others long ago, and it would be impossible for her to get it again.
In a daze, Chen Guoping had already found tools and started cleaning up.
Gradually, the things in his hands began to reveal their original appearance. Simple bamboo patterns were carved on the dark red wall. Chen Lishu did not see anything special about it.
"Is this made of rosewood?" Chen Yinchu came closer and said.
"Yeah." Chen Guoping had almost cleaned it up, nodded and said, "It's red sandalwood. Judging from the style and pattern, it's probably from the Ming and Qing Dynasties."
As he spoke, Chen Guoping returned the pen holder to Chen Lishu and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you got a big treasure by mistake this time. You must keep it well, it is probably worth a lot of money."
When Chen Lishu heard what he said, she suddenly thought of the antiquities that were sold for astronomical prices in later generations. She felt excited and nodded hurriedly: "Well, thank you Uncle Chen for reminding me. I will keep it well."
Soon Han Xiuyun started cooking dinner, and Chen Lishu also went over to help. The four of them cooked four dishes in total. Chen Lishu was very happy and ate half a bowl of rice.
After having dinner at Chen Yinchu's house, Chen Lishu went straight back to her dormitory.
"Lishu, you're back." Zhang Xue's eyes lit up when he saw her coming in, and he immediately climbed down from the upper bunk opposite.
"I guess you have to come back tonight. The hot water has been prepared for you. Have you eaten? I have some twists here."
"Thank you, Xue'er, I've eaten." Chen Lishu said, bending to get the basin and then the kettle. Zhang Xue went out with her.
"Hey Lishu, I heard people say that your lover is very energetic?"
