Reborn in 1977

Chapter 183: Returning

A sweet dream in the middle of the night.

I went to sleep after midnight, but still woke up at 6 am.

Chen Fan got dressed and went outside, where, unsurprisingly, everything was covered in a blanket of white.

Seeing such thick snow, he still felt a bit unaccustomed.

Forty years later, where in Jiangnan could you find such heavy snow? If not for the distortion of space and time, he would have thought he was in the North.

A gust of cold wind blew over, and Chen Fan shivered, turning around to go back inside and pick up the kettle from the charcoal stove to pour water for washing.

At this time, the charcoal in the stove was on the verge of burning out, and he didn't add any more, since he would be going to work soon anyway and wouldn't need the stove.

Working on the first day of the new year, who understands, folks?!

At this moment, Chen Fan felt that his 3650 work points as a broadcaster for the year were not too much at all.

By the time he finished washing up, Jiang Tian Tian and Jiang Lili had already prepared breakfast in the kitchen.

They didn't use the leftovers from yesterday; since it was about bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, as long as they could, they wouldn't eat leftovers on the first day of the new year.

A pot of preserved pork congee, a plate of steamed preserved fish, a bowl of assorted meatballs, plus several large steamed buns, made Chen Fan's index finger twitch.

He sat down at the dining table, picked up a bun, broke it open, and couldn't help but grin, "Heh, scallions, cabbage, and preserved fatty pork filling, so fragrant! When did you two get up to make this?"

Jiang Lili smiled and said, "My sister got up very early, and she made this breakfast.

The dough was proofed last night.

Try it quickly, my sister's skills are much better than mine."

Chen Fan took a bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance, "Mmm, delicious."

Swallowing what was in his mouth, he turned to look at Jiang Tian Tian, "Why did you get up so early? Sleep in a bit longer.

I was just thinking of casually cooking a pot of rice and heating up some meatballs and fried goods to eat."

Jiang Tian Tian smiled and said, "I have to catch the bus later anyway, so I got up a bit early."

"Catch the bus?"

Chen Fan was immediately stunned, staring blankly at her, "You're leaving today?"

She only arrived yesterday, and she's leaving today? Isn't that too fast?

Jiang Tian Tian glanced at her sister and said with a smile, "It's been like this for the past two years.

I come over on the thirtieth and go back on the first.

I have to go to work tomorrow too."

The smile on Chen Fan's face disappeared, and he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Lili pouted, her emotions somewhat low, "In previous years, they advocated not having holidays for the New Year, so my sister always took leave every year and got criticized."

Then, looking at Jiang Tian Tian, her mouth was pouted high, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming."

Jiang Tian Tian glanced at her, tore a piece of bun, and stuffed it into her mouth, "Anyway, whether I take leave or not, I'll be criticized.

So I might as well take leave.

Otherwise, how could Mom and Dad be at ease leaving you here alone for the New Year?"

Jiang Lili's eyes suddenly turned red, "But it's dangerous for you to run so far.

Yesterday, if Xiao Fan hadn't happened to run into you, then…"

She didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence.

Jiang Tian Tian smiled and comforted her, saying, "Don't cry on New Year's Day, aren't you ashamed?

Look at me, aren't I fine?"

Chen Fan also understood what was going on from the side.

It wasn't that she insisted on leaving, but that she had to leave.

Although this year they no longer emphasized not having holidays for the New Year, it also depended on who it was for.

Someone like Jiang Tian Tian was definitely the best person to be on duty.

He pondered for two seconds and then said, "I'll take you to the commune to catch the bus later."

Jiang Tian Tian quickly said, "No need, no need, I can go by myself."

Then, she looked at her sister and smiled, "If you don't believe me, ask Lili, I used to go by myself."

Chen Fan said with a smile, "It's okay, I also happen to have something to do at the commune, it's all on the way."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Tian Tian to refuse, he ate heartily.

After finishing in a few bites, he got up and walked out, returning in less than ten minutes, leading two animals by the reins.

A mule and a donkey.

Needless to say, he borrowed them from Master Liu at the animal shed.

The backs of the two animals were simply draped with a blanket, which was enough to sit on.

Then, he went into the room and quickly came out, fully armed.

Jiang Tian Tian had also finished packing her things at this time, carrying her luggage bag out.

Seeing the two animals, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "What is this?"

Chen Fan pointed outside, "The road is full of snow, how long will it take you to walk?

There's only one 7 o'clock bus in the morning.

If you miss it, you'll have to wait until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

But if you take the afternoon bus, you won't be able to make it back to Yunhu.

If you don't want to be late, hurry up."

Saying that, he took the travel bag from her hand and pulled the donkey over.

Seeing that he had already led the donkey over, Jiang Tian Tian could only accept it uneasily, climbing on with her sister's support.

The donkey took two steps, adjusted to the weight on its body, and then walked forward with small steps.

Chen Fan rode the mule behind.

Normally, it would take more than 30 minutes to walk from here to the commune, and it would be even more uncertain on a snowy day, but with the mule and donkey as transportation, it took less than 20 minutes to reach the commune.

Chen Fan took out his alarm clock to check the time, it was already 6:40, and there were still 20 minutes until work, so he said to Jiang Tian Tian, "Be careful on the road.

After you arrive, write a letter to your sister to let her know you're safe.

If you're worried about it being inconvenient, you can put it in an envelope and send it to the brigade headquarters, addressed to me."

Jiang Tian Tian stood by the roadside, holding her travel bag, looking up at Chen Fan, her thoughts somewhat fluctuating.

After several seconds, she smiled and said to Chen Fan, "Thank you."

Chen Fan smiled, "We're friends, no need to be so polite."

Then he waved his hand, "I have to go to work, I'll contact you again when I have time."

Jiang Tian Tian smiled, waved her hand, and turned to get on the bus.

(Roughly this kind of bus)

Seeing Jiang Tian Tian get on the bus and sit down, Chen Fan waved his hand, riding the mule and leading the donkey away.

Jiang Tian Tian kept watching Chen Fan's figure, and after a long time, she exhaled a long breath, her brows slightly furrowed, wondering what she was thinking.

A moment later, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the travel bag resting on her legs and pressed by her arm.

There seemed to be something hard inside?

She quickly unzipped the bag and saw a paper package at first glance.

There was also a line of words on it, "If you feel dizzy, eat a piece quickly, it can prevent low blood sugar."

Reaching out to touch it, it should be something like puffed rice candy or sesame candy.

Needless to say, Chen Fan must have put it in, and only he had touched her bag.

Zipping the zipper back up, Jiang Tian Tian's brow furrowed even tighter, biting her lips tightly, thinking silently, Capable, considerate, and living together every day, would my sister really not care about a man like this?

……

Chen Fan hurried on, finally arriving at the broadcasting station before 7 o'clock.

It wasn't until he turned on the radio and broadcast today's program on time that he exhaled a long breath, picked up the water bottle that he hadn't had time to put down, and took a big gulp.

After sitting down to rest for a while, he went downstairs to teach the veterinary class students.

They only rested for one day on New Year's Eve yesterday, and continued to attend classes today.

The teacher is working hard, the students are working hard, everyone is working hard.

As usual, Chen Fan checked their learning progress, and also cared about the difficulties of the lagging students, answering several questions for them.

When it was time to dismiss class, he said loudly, "I bought two piglets a few days ago, and I'm going to castrate them tomorrow.

This time I will do it myself.

As a veterinarian, castrating pigs is an indispensable skill, so tomorrow after class in the morning, you all have to come back with me to learn how to castrate pigs."

When the students heard this, their faces were immediately filled with excitement.

Isn't this much more interesting than being locked in a room reciting?

Immediately, they all agreed without hesitation.
