Chapter 38 Can’t Put It Down
"That's not possible?" Chen Fan looked doubtful.

Although he didn't have much contact with Zeng Ali, Chen Fan could tell that the girl had the bearing of a real lady and would definitely not bother to gossip about others behind their backs.

As for Zhao Yuanyuan, this girl is rather noisy and would occasionally argue, but it is all for Xu Jinqiu. She is one of the best girls and doesn't seem like someone who would cause trouble.

"Eldest sister and Yuanyuan want to say nice things to you, but our three families are as close as one family. How can they hide it? Won't they all tell the truth in the end?" Xu Jinqiu said jokingly.

"That's okay." Chen Fan felt relieved.

They are all true, so there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how you look at it, you are not bad.

"You are quite confident. You are talkative, slick, cunning, and you like to trick me. Tell me yourself, which of these little flaws are wrongly accused of you?"

"Is this a shortcoming? This is called the spice of life. People who are dry are too boring."

Chen Fan was not worried at all. He had experience in dealing with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He had dealt with Zhou Shuhua, who was so difficult, in his previous life.

"Just don't end up like a saw-mouthed gourd."

Xu Jinqiu laughed and ignored him and started reading seriously. She hadn't touched these books for more than half a year and had almost forgotten many of the knowledge points.

Fortunately, the time was not very long, and I remembered everything after watching it again.

In addition to the books she brought with her, Xu Jinqiu also read Chen Fan's teaching aids, which were filled with completed questions, and she also took a lot of notes.

After reading only a small part, Xu Jinqiu had to admit that this person was indeed better than himself, especially in mathematics, physics and chemistry. He recorded many problem-solving ideas, which were much better than himself.

Whenever he encountered a problem he didn't know how to solve or couldn't understand, he would just ask Chen Fan directly. Every time, Chen Fan would give several ways to solve the problem, which made Xu Jinqiu very curious.

"You have a pretty good foundation, so how did you fail the exam last year?"

"You have never been to Saihanba. Out of the 365 days in a year, we work 300 days a year. We go out at dawn and come home at dusk. How can we have time to review?"

Although it is an excuse, it is also the truth.

Once you get to Saihanba, don’t expect to have an easy time. Even in winter, when the land is covered with ice and snow, the educated youths have to go up the mountain with the forestry workers to patrol, monitor fires, prune dead branches, and clear dead trees…

The pruned dead wood and branches must be pulled down the mountain on shoulders. They are important heating materials in winter and will not be wasted on the mountain.

"Another reason is that you read a lot of books, and your brain becomes smarter. You suddenly understand a lot of knowledge points that you couldn't understand before. Once you have a good understanding, you will have a good chance of passing the college entrance examination."

Hearing this, Xu Jinqiu's face turned dark.

Who hasn't gotten the idea?

She was so angry that she pounced on Chen Fan and started biting his shoulder.

She was biting her lips inexplicably, and she didn't know when Chen Fan's hand was on her chest.

When that wonderful touch came, Xu Jinqiu came to her senses. Her face turned red instantly. She grabbed Chen Fan's hand and bit it hard.

"hiss……"

"Wife, I said my hand slipped, do you believe me?"

Chen Fan took a deep breath, but secretly sighed in his heart, she was indeed the most beautiful woman in the world, so beautiful that you couldn't even see her toes when you looked down, and she couldn't be grasped by one hand.

The feel of it is so... I can’t let it go!

Xu Jinqiu opened her mouth and saw him stretching out his claws and making gestures of manipulation. She was so angry that she kicked him off the stool, picked up the book and went to read by the bed, fearing that he would eat her up completely.

It was not until it was slightly dark and the youngest sister called outside for dinner that Xu Jinqiu put down the book, opened the door and followed the youngest sister to the central courtyard.

Chen Fan sorted out the drawings and handed them to his father when he got to the middle courtyard: "Dad, this is the drawing I just drew, do you think you can make it?"

Chen Musheng flipped through the blueprints and quickly imagined what the finished product would look like in his mind: "These things are not difficult and can be made in half a day. What are they used for?"

"Qiu'er's father likes fishing, and I'm thinking of making a set of fishing gear for him." Chen Musheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "That will take more effort. You can do some carving on the surface, and then apply tung oil, so that it looks grand enough."

After thinking about it, he said, "We have to use good wood. The factory just bought a batch of rosewood. I will apply for it tomorrow and it should be approved."

"Okay, leave this matter to me. I promise to do it properly for you."

"Thanks dad!"

Professional matters should be left to professionals. After Chen Musheng nodded, Chen Fan stopped asking questions. His father would naturally implement the functions inside.

After dinner, Chen Fan and Xu Jinqiu went back to the backyard to continue reviewing. To be precise, Xu Jinqiu was reviewing while Chen Fan was in a daze.

"If you don't read, what do you think about?"

"Yesterday, the magazine asked me to write an editorial. I was thinking about what to write, but I couldn't find a good topic for the time being."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"No, just hand it in at the beginning of next month. They publish monthly, so it will definitely be too late for this issue. Just hand it in before the next issue is typeset."

Chen Fan really doesn't want to write editorials anymore. It's a double-edged sword.

A good editorial can trigger great public opinion and bring great fame.

However, writing editorials is also the easiest way to fail. Many famous hosts, critics, and even some internet celebrities in later generations have failed because of a single sentence or an opinion.

"There's no rush. Just think about it slowly."

Xu Jinqiu ignored him and carefully flipped through Chen Fan's teaching aids. There was not much time left before the college entrance examination, so he had to race against time.

They read until after ten o'clock before Xu Jinqiu asked Chen Fan to take her home.

In the next few days, Xu Jinqiu completely entered the state before the college entrance examination. Even when he was at work, he would take a look at the book in his free time, especially some content that required memorization.

Chen Fan was not idle either. He spent the whole week thinking about gift-giving.

Seeing the things he bought, Xu Jinqiu felt sweet, but couldn't help but complain: "Comrade Chen Fan, our two families are just ordinary families, not like you."

Chen Fan held her in his arms and teased, "Comrade Xu Jinqiu, if our father heard this, he would definitely say that the little cotton-padded jacket at home is leaking."

"Then I have to say, you should calculate how much money you have spent. The money a normal working-class family saves for several months is not enough to cover what you have built in these few days."

"It's my first time visiting your house, so it's worth it no matter how much I spend. How about you take care of the money for our family?"

"After we get married, I will definitely be in charge of the money."

Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes. Who wouldn’t feel uneasy seeing the way Chen Fan spent money?

Not to mention buying gifts, even in daily life, he buys fish and meat every day, and they are all good ones. Even the salary of an eighth-level worker is not enough to feed his mouth.

Guan Yuemei had already told her that after they got engaged, she would be allowed to take over the financial power, as her son spent money without any restraint and was definitely a spendthrift.

"Okay, I'll let you take care of it from now on."

Chen Fan kissed her lips and scratched her nose: "It's almost time, let's go, otherwise my father-in-law will be waiting anxiously."

"Now that we're at my house, don't talk nonsense. If you really call me father-in-law, my dad will throw you out." Xu Jinqiu glared at him.

"Don't worry, I promise to make clear arrangements for our parents."

Chen Fan began to pack his things. There were a lot of things to bring today, and he couldn't carry them all with both hands, so he had to ask Xu Jinqiu to share some of the burden.
