Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Er Dan Changes Too Much, Mrs. Zhao Almost Didn’t Recognize Him

The admission notice personally delivered by the leader.

He had heard about it too.

This year again, numerous students took the college entrance exam; who knows how many could get admitted?

"Thank you very much."

Captain Zhao rode his bicycle to collect a telegram.

It was simple: Already in Capital City, package to follow.

They mailed him a package too?

Now that it had arrived in Capital City, it was fine.

Then he felt relieved.

Captain Zhao rode his bicycle back home.

In a few more days, it would be time to harvest the corn.

Being alone at home, he really felt a bit unaccustomed.

They seldom separated, but now, they were going to be apart for over a month.

His little brother had also invited him to come over for meals.

He even said that his nephew and niece were living at Laosan’s and he had found jobs for them as well.

These days, having a job was truly like ancestral graves smoking — an incredibly fortunate occurrence.

And the two kids in his family both had jobs.

Having jobs, unlike farming at home, was a different matter altogether.

Captain Zhao flatly refused the invitation.

With an electric rice cooker and summer approaching, the weather being hot, he planned to cook porridge in advance and stir-fry some long beans, or make a cold cucumber salad to get by.

They had all dealt with hardships before; they weren’t picky about food, as being full was all that mattered.

Mrs. Zhao finally got to see Er Dan.

She looked at Er Dan for a long while but failed to recognize him.

In her memory, Er Dan was not only dark-skinned but also particularly thin, with unevenly patched clothes and not very tall.

But the Er Dan before her was at least ten centimeters taller than during New Year’s, his skin had lightened a lot, and now that thin, bony face had flesh on it.

"Auntie, hello."

"Er Dan, you’ve changed so much, people at the team won’t recognize you when you get back."

Er Dan smiled shyly, "It’s thanks to Third Brother and sister-in-law’s care, and Da Bao even taught me to read."

"It’s also your own merit."

If Er Dan hadn’t shown promise, Laosan would not have possibly brought him to Capital City.

Mrs. Zhao did not blame Laosan for not helping the families of the first and second sons.

Guided by Grandma Fang in Capital City, Mrs. Zhao gradually got used to it.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao didn’t go to Elder Wu’s place for calligraphy every day.

She took over the task of picking them up and dropping them off.

She also cooked meals with Grandma Fang.

Even cleaning the rooms and courtyard.

She secretly thought, the city was indeed better than the countryside.

Looking at this sweeping, there was hardly any mud.

Mrs. Zhao also learned how to turn on and adjust the radio.

She even learned to use the washing machine and turn on the TV.

In fact, Mrs. Zhao was somewhat unyielding.

Aunt Fang was older than her and knew how to use these things; she couldn’t fall behind.

"Finish work early tomorrow, we’ll go out for Peking duck, I promised Xiao He."

Finishing work early also meant letting Yun Xiaoxiao close the store early.

"Third Brother, I knew you’d remember."

But with so many of them going for Peking duck, wouldn’t that cost a lot of money?

Zhao Tianhe still remembered this matter.

Third Brother had indeed promised to go for Peking duck.

He even planned to ask.

Unexpectedly, Third Brother mentioned it today.

The next afternoon, a group of them headed to the Peking duck restaurant.

When Zhang Lanhua and Cao Dali learned Mrs. Zhao had come, they visited her at home the next day.

"Lanhua, aren’t you far along this month? Are you planning to have your mother-in-law come take care of you or your own mom?"

Zhang Lanhua said with a smile, "Auntie, it’s busy at home now, I won’t trouble these two mothers."

Looks like she decided not to have either her mother-in-law or own mother come.

That made sense, considering the travel costs back and forth.

Coming here to take care, would delay the work at home.

While their team had divided the fields among households, there were still many teams under the township that hadn’t divided the fields among households yet.
