Reborn in 1977

Chen Fan picked up the exercise book on the table and flipped through it casually. Inside were practice problems meticulously copied by Zhang Cuie stroke by stroke.

This was Chen Fan's requirement for all the students in the study group.

Before studying, they had to copy down all the practice problems. After learning each part, they would do the corresponding exercises themselves. They had to consolidate the parts they got right and relearn the parts they got wrong.

This repeated practice could consolidate the learned knowledge in the shortest possible time.

In an era without learning materials, this was the only way to practice.

Putting down the exercise book, Chen Fan said to Zhang Cuie, "Have you started studying the history and geography materials I found for you?"

Zhang Cuie nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "I've already started studying them. I study Chinese, politics, and English in the morning, mathematics, physics, and chemistry in the afternoon, and history and geography in the evening. I study until 12 o'clock every night."

Chen Fan nodded with a smile on his face, "That's good. You're still young. Take advantage of your good energy and learn more. You'll be able to use it sooner or later."

After a pause, he pondered for two seconds and asked, "Where have you gotten to in physics and chemistry?"

Zhang Cuie quickly said, "Oh, I just got to the third volume."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Okay, starting today, put physics and chemistry aside for now."

Zhang Cuie's eyes widened, "Huh?"

Chen Fan looked at her and smiled, "People's energy is limited. There are so many basic subjects: politics, Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, English. You can't possibly learn all of them, and you don't need to be proficient in all of them.

Schools have arts and science streams, and after work, there are also technical and administrative positions. This all shows that you don't need to learn all the subjects.

Your ideal is to be a broadcaster, and broadcasters focus more on the arts. Since that's the case, you have to make choices.

Starting today, the three main subjects of politics, Chinese, and English must take up 70% of your study time, and the remaining 30% should be spent on history and geography. I will assess you at any time…"

Speaking of this, he coughed lightly and smiled at Zhang Cuie, "Do you know what I went to the prefectural committee to do this time?"

Zhang Cuie was still thinking about Chen Fan's words. Hearing this, it took her two seconds to realize what he meant. She blinked her eyes and looked at him, "To sell chickens, ducks, and geese, and… register for correspondence university?"

Chen Fan nodded and smiled, "That's right, to register for correspondence university. Actually, going to university isn't difficult. Although we don't have the opportunity to get a recommendation quota, we can obtain a university admission letter through correspondence education.

If you can study hard, you will have two paths to take in the future. On the one hand, the production team will have more and more side businesses. You can use your own skills to work in the side business units, including this broadcaster position, which I can give you."

As soon as Zhang Cuie heard this, her face turned red and she quickly said, "Teacher, I didn't want to take your…"

Chen Fan raised his hand to interrupt her and said with a smile, "First, I really don't care about this broadcaster position. You've done a good job during this time. Originally, I was planning to teach you how to repair the broadcasting machine, but we'll talk about that later. Anyway, I'm in the team, and I can come over anytime if there's a problem.

Second, it can't be said that you're taking it, but that I'm giving it to you. Without this broadcaster, I still have the veterinarian position, and the production team will have our own fleet and motorcade in the future. You don't have to worry about me having nothing to do, and you don't have to worry about me not having any income.

But the prerequisite for letting you be a broadcaster is that you must study hard.

In addition, if you can successfully pass the correspondence university entrance exam and get a diploma, you will definitely have the opportunity to work in units in the commune, county, or even the prefectural committee. At that time, it will be a real carp leaping over the dragon gate, jumping out of this small world.

So, everything depends on whether you study hard and whether you can get good grades, understand?"

Zhang Cuie pursed her lips tightly and stared blankly at Chen Fan, her eyes red.

After several seconds, she nodded vigorously, with a bit of a sob, "Understood, Teacher."

Chen Fan took out a handkerchief and handed it over, smiling, "Why are you crying? You're almost 16 years old, aren't you ashamed? Wipe it quickly."

He really treats this little girl like a younger sister.

Stubborn, hardworking, competitive, and very sincere. She listens to him, her teacher, almost without question, so naturally, she's likable.

As for the handkerchief, it was made by Jiang Lili and the others when they practiced sewing at home. The four of them made dozens of them together. They were all sewn from scraps of cloth, and then the two pieces were put together and sewn together with a sewing machine. They were very thick.

He's now used to carrying one with him when he goes out.

Mainly because Jiang Lili and the others put the handkerchief in his clothes pocket in advance every night, so it definitely won't be left behind.

After Zhang Cuie wiped away her tears and calmed down, Chen Fan asked her to continue studying and turned to leave.

Speaking of which, should he give Zhang Cuie some valuable things in the future?

Otherwise, he's slacking off every day, collecting his salary, and she's doing the work. Chen Fan felt like his conscience was a little uneasy.

With a 1% sense of guilt, Chen Fan walked to the front yard. At this time, almost everyone in the office had left, except for Yang Xingxiu.

Yang Xingxiu was cleaning the table when she saw Chen Fan poking his head in at the door. She immediately walked over and smiled, "Didn't you go to find something to eat? Didn't you find it? Or should I make you some cured meat rice in the kitchen next door?"

Chen Fan quickly waved his hand, "I'm going crazy from eating cured meat every day. I don't want to eat it."

The corners of Yang Xingxiu's mouth twitched slightly. Going crazy from eating cured meat? If others heard this, see if they'd go crazy!

Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Have Secretary and the others gone out?"

Yang Xingxiu nodded, "My dad and Team Leader Zhang went to Team 4 to inspect the goods at the repair factory with Master Wang. Uncle Ye and Brother An took people to inspect the breeding farm. A batch of ducks and geese have been handed in by each team, and he went to see the situation. In addition, the rabbit house is almost full, so we need to move out a batch of grown male rabbits and wait for you to deal with them when you have time."

Female rabbits still have to be kept to breed baby rabbits, and those useless male rabbits can be disposed of, which can free up space and increase income.

Chen Fan smiled, "Okay, when you guys have chosen someone, I'll teach them how to make cooked food, and we'll make rabbit meat together."

After a pause, he asked again, "Where are Team Leader Xiao and Brother Sanhu? Didn't they go to see the breeding farm together?"

Usually, when the militia company has nothing to do, they either follow Ye Shubao to work in production, or coordinate the work of each team with Team Leader Zhang and Secretary Yang, but today they didn't follow either side, so he was naturally a little strange.

Yang Xingxiu shook her head and said, "No, they went to the militia training this afternoon."

Chen Fan was stunned, "The militia company is training again?"

A quick calculation reveals it's already autumn. There was no organized training in the summer, and there are countless farm chores in the fall. He thought he'd have to wait until winter training.

Yang Xingxiu smiled and continued to shake her head, "It's not the militia company training, or else I would have gone too."

That's right, she is also the leader of the militia company's communications squad. When the militia was at its peak, she was also the company commander of the women's company. If the militia really had training, she wouldn't miss it.

Speaking of this women's company... well, never mind, I won't mention it.

Chen Fan also heard Zhang Wenliang say that during the peak of the militia a few years ago, everyone in the production team participated in the militia, naturally including women. Now, all women over 20 years old can bayonet and shoot rifles.

He also thought of the women who were about to be selected to work in the county's cooked food workshop. No wonder Secretary Yang and the others weren't worried at all. If these people were equipped, they would be a proper combat platoon!

As long as they ran around the dam with guns on their backs, who the hell would dare to go there and cause trouble?

It must be said that in this era, martial virtue is abundant.

Just as Chen Fan was diverging his thoughts, Yang Xingxiu continued, "They went to Team 3's side. There is a small forest there. Last time you won against Sanhu in a competition, saying that your skills were taught by Master Peng from Team 9. Later, Uncle Xiao invited Master Peng to be a coach, giving him 20 work points for each lesson.

Then he selected a dozen elites from the militia company to learn hunting skills from Master Peng. After that, he and Sanhu worked together to study how to integrate these skills into individual soldier tactics.

It's been several months. They go to practice whenever they have time. Well, they went there again this afternoon."

After listening to her words, Chen Fan nodded suddenly, "So that's how it is."

At the same time, he smiled wryly in his heart. Captain Xiao and Zhang Wenliang are full of enthusiasm, but he himself knows that the more time passes, the fewer opportunities the militia will have to be useful. These skills, once learned, may not be used.

As for joining the army, most of these people in the militia company are over 20 years old. Even if they want to join the army, someone has to want them.

Chen Fan thought of the war that would happen at the beginning of the year after next, and thought silently in his heart, I wonder if Captain Xiao has a way to send them over there. Making merit is one aspect, but if this kind of jungle warfare tactics is useful, it should reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties.

...

With some thoughts, Chen Fan left the brigade headquarters, but he didn't leave Team 5 to go home. Instead, he went to the breeding farm first, and then turned into the alley of Grandpa Lu Si's house.

As soon as he walked to the front of the yard, he saw a faucet standing under the eaves and couldn't help but smile, "Grandpa Si, you've got running water installed here too."

Grandpa Lu Si was reading a book in the house. When he saw him coming, he stood up and smiled, "Of course, I'm also a member of Team 5. When installing running water for Team 5, how could they leave me out."

He supported himself on the table and stood up, slowly welcoming him out, "Are you all done busy?"

Chen Fan quickly took two steps forward, "What are you getting up for? Sit down quickly."

Helping the old man to sit down, he also sat down on the other side, and smiled at the old man, "I'm taking a break from my busy life. The people from the cooked food workshop haven't been selected yet, and I went to the waterway transportation company today…"

He briefly told the story of the past two days and smiled, "Well, now I'm free, and I'm too lazy to go back, so I came here to mooch a meal."

Grandpa Lu Si put one hand on the edge of the table and laughed heartily, "You're good. In just a few days, you've done such a great thing."

As he said that, he was about to stand up again, "If you've made achievements, you must be rewarded. Wait, I'll go kill a chicken for you."

"You rest, rest."

Chen Fan quickly stopped him, and then smiled at him, "Forget about killing the chicken, I'll make you a new dish today."

Grandpa Lu Si sat back down in one fell swoop, looking at him curiously, "New dish? What dish?"

Chen Fan smiled, "Braised rabbit meat, and spicy rabbit head, how about it?"

"Hmm."

Grandpa Lu Si looked him up and down, "Braised rabbit meat? Spicy rabbit head? Where's the rabbit?"

Chen Fan laughed, took off the backpack he was carrying, and took out a bag from it.

When he took it out, the bag was still moving.

Grandpa Lu Si's eyes lit up, "You even brought a rabbit."

Chen Fan opened the cloth bag, pulled the rabbit out of it, and smiled, "That's right, this batch of rabbits should be out of the pen, so I asked Captain Ye for one. Anyway, he hasn't settled the bill with me yet, so I'll deduct it later.

This rabbit meat has no fat, but it is fresh and delicious, most suitable for the elderly's stomach, I will kill this rabbit, you take out a bottle of your good wine, let's drink with the rabbit, it's the most suitable."

Grandpa Lu Si laughed again, "I was wondering why you were so kind today, and even brought a rabbit to cook, it turns out you were thinking about my wine."

He looked at Chen Fan and asked with a smile, "Is the wine you brewed before not ready yet? When will you bring it over for me to taste?"

Chen Fan waved his hand, "That can't be rushed. Rice wine can be drunk, but white wine will probably take another month or two. However, I plan to use this batch of white wine to make medicinal wine, and change the rice wine into small jars and put them in the wine cellar together."

He held the rabbit in one hand and put his other hand on his waist, "When it snows in winter, I will bring a jar of rice wine and some green plums, and we will also boil wine and talk about the new year."

Looking at Chen Fan's deliberately smug look, Grandpa Lu Si couldn't close his mouth with laughter, "Still boiling wine and talking about the new year, you better not brew it into vinegar."

Chen Fan deliberately put on a straight face, "Why don't you believe in people, old man?"

As he said that, he picked up the kitchen knife from the wall cabinet and walked out, "Forget it, I'll go get the rabbit, and when you drink the wine I brewed later, you'll know how high my level is."

When he got outside the house, he settled the rabbit under the faucet in a few strokes, then washed it clean in a basin and went back to the house to get busy.

Grandpa Lu Si sat in the chair with a smile on his face, without saying a word about lending a hand.

After a busy time, Chen Fan stewed the rabbit, and the room quickly filled with a rich aroma.

He returned to the table and sat down, smiling at Grandpa Lu Si, "Well, it can be eaten in half an hour, where's your good wine?"

Chen Fan was also very strange. With his ability, he didn't know where Grandpa Lu Si's treasures were found.

The house is so big, but from time to time, some treasures can be found. Could there be a secret passage in it?

Today, he suddenly attacked, just wanting to see if Grandpa Lu Si could still take out the wine.
