Chapter 49 My brother is different from her

It was very quiet in the small warehouse of the Erliang Store. The only sounds were the rustling sound of pens scratching across paper and the ticking sound of the second hand of the horseshoe watch.

Li Dayong, Hu Man and six other students were burying their heads, thinking hard about their papers.

Li Ye gave out three sets of questions tonight. Although each set was not a complete test paper, they needed to copy the questions themselves and listen to Li Ye explain some questions that everyone could not do, so their time was very tight.

Only Wen Leyu finished his paper early, sat next to Li Ye, watched him write quietly, and helped him proofread.

Li Ye is very busy today, really busy.

He had to organize special classes, set questions and give lectures, but no matter how busy he was, he never neglected the novel he was "co-creating" with Wen Leyu.

This finally made Wen Leyu feel much more comfortable.

Although Wen Leyu resolutely followed Li Ye out of the classroom and came here to study.

But in fact, she was somewhat unhappy.

In the past, in the classroom, Li Ye basically "belonged to her", but here, he needs to devote a lot of energy to taking care of Li Dayong, Hu Man and others.

That’s why Wen Leyu said in a cold voice just now, “If you don’t believe it, you can leave.”

After more than ten days of in-depth contact, Wen Leyu had actually given up the idea of ​​"co-creation" and was content to act as a coordinator between Li Ye and Teacher Ke, properly inserting clues and materials into the novel in Li Ye's hands.

She had no ability to offer guidance in Li Ye's novels, and could only occasionally ask Li Ye in a veiled way: "Can Shi Cheng have a bigger role?"

Every time, Li Ye would nod generously and write a few more strokes about the character of Shi Cheng to make him more outstanding and more prominent.

Wen Leyu was very happy and felt that Li Ye respected her opinions and was very considerate of her feelings.

But she had no idea that Li Ye knew her every little thought.

When Li Ye received "this job", he decided to adapt "The Deserter in the Fire" into a high-end custom-made work exclusively for Mr. Ke.

The first step in the adaptation is to determine who is the person who has a close relationship with Teacher Ke.

The story material provided by Teacher Ke is basically a story about a weak fighting group composed of "oddballs" who are reborn and transformed in battle.

In this small group, there are bandits who surrendered for food, and there are idiots who are stupid but have little strength.

There are also those who have a bad fate and have killed dozens of their comrades, and those who are orphans of martyrs who are young but are veteran soldiers.

In addition, there were miscellaneous guerrillas who joined later, as well as half-grown children who were not even as tall as the guns.

The fate of these people underwent a complete change with the surrender of the killer "Hu Yi".

After Li Ye got these character materials, his biggest worry was that Mr. Ke was too deeply involved with the embryo killer. That would make it really difficult to write. This is 1981, not 2001.

However, Li Ye later discovered that there was one character for whom Teacher Ke provided the most and particularly rich materials.

After several attempts and communications, the two tacitly agreed that "Shi Cheng" was the "super supporting character" of this book.

The prototype of Shi Cheng's character was a guerrilla fighter who officially joined the team in 1939. However, this man was lucky and by the time the Japanese soldiers surrendered, he had already reached the battalion level.

Because he joined the army late, this person had already been married and had children. Li Ye calculated based on his age and estimated that he was most likely Wen Leyu's grandfather.

In the subsequent writing process, the proofreader Wen Leyu obviously paid more attention to this "Shi Cheng", and Li Ye also tried his best to artistically render it.

“Clang clang clang~”

At half past ten in the evening, Li Ye's "horseshoe watch" suddenly rang.

This mechanical alarm clock is very loud and can scare people if it rings suddenly early in the morning.

Six students who were doing their papers with frowns on their brows looked up in surprise, like pheasants hearing a gunshot.

"Is that the time? I haven't finished yet!"

"I haven't finished yet, Li Ye, wait for us for a while!"

"I'm not sleepy. I'm not sleepy. I won't feel sleepy even if I work all night."

Li Ye didn't care whether they were sleepy or not. He stood up and collected the papers.

"It's just the first day we're studying outside, and you can't go back to the dormitory on time. What will the school think? Will they continue to allow us to study outside?"

After correcting the answers in five minutes, Li Ye immediately started to chase people away and asked them to return to their school dormitories.

He was planning to sleep on the small kang in the inner room, but others couldn't. He had to take responsibility for organizing these people to study on their own.

In fact, if Li Ye wanted to save trouble, he would just ignore everyone and not help anyone, and just wait quietly until his college entrance examination results were very successful.

But he has Wen Leyu by his side!

There is also Li Dayong behind him.

It doesn't matter whether you let one sheep go or drive a flock of sheep, Li Ye has selected people like Hu Man who are still "loyal".

Hu Man was thinking about the unfinished test paper. After struggling for a long time, he whispered, "Then let's take it back and do it. Make sure no one else sees it."

"What did you say?"

Li Ye's face suddenly turned cold. He stared at several classmates with a stern look, then turned around and walked to the stove, opened the lid, and stuffed all the papers in.

“.”

Orange-red flames shot up, and the seven papers turned to ashes in an instant.

"Don't, Li Ye."

"What are you doing?"

Several classmates, especially girls like Hu Man, stamped their feet in distress, and the weak Jiang Xiaoyan even burst into tears.

They haven’t finished these papers yet!

In the past, everyone had to do the test papers distributed by the school several times, and those unfinished papers were treasures in their hearts.

It was because Li Ye was too stern and scary at that moment, otherwise they would have pounced on him and started to snatch the things.

Li Ye frowned and said coldly: "It seems that you didn't understand what I just said. Then I will repeat it to you again."

"Nothing in this warehouse, not even a word or a piece of paper, is allowed to be passed outside."

Li Ye pointed in the direction of the school and asked Hu Man: "Can you tell me why we came out of school today? What was the initial reason?"

Hu Man pursed her lips and said after a long while: "It's because you didn't explain the questions to your classmates, so they were jealous of you and spread rumors to slander you."

Hearing Hu Man's nasal tone, Li Ye softened his tone and said, "Think about it, how much time have you spent bickering with Xia Yue and the others in the repeat class these days?

How much time did I spend sulking, and how much time did I spend explaining things to the teacher?

"And the root of all this is that we have enough test questions that can change our own destiny."

"Don't think that if you are careful enough, you can guarantee that you will not be seen by others. You are not qualified to take this risk because this is not just your business."

"Unless you are willing to go back to quarreling with Xia Yue and the others all day, wasting your energy on meaningless trivial matters, and letting your fate rot in the quagmire of Class 1 forever."

Hu Man and others were frightened by Li Ye's severity.

But then they recalled the bad things that had happened during this period.

Ever since they started to confront Xia Yue and the others, the quality of their studies has plummeted, and their minds are always disturbed by all kinds of chaotic thoughts.

And in the past few hours, they lived an extremely "simple" life.

I finished two and a half papers and listened to Li Ye’s explanation. Before I knew it, a very fulfilling night had passed.

This simple yet fulfilling learning environment gives them a really good feeling.

Compared with this place, the repeater class one, which is envied by all the students in the second middle school, is really a quagmire.

"I'm sorry, Li Ye. We were wrong. I swear here that I will keep this secret strictly. I will not leak a single word even if my head is cut off or blood is shed."

“We also swear”

“.”

Several students swore one by one, as determined as the warriors in the movies of that era.

Only then did Li Ye open the door of the small warehouse, put on his coat and sent them back to school.

But when I went out, I found that the lights were still on in the office of the Second Grain Store.

Seeing Li Ye and others coming out, the office door opened and Li Ye's grandfather Li Zhongfa and grandmother Wu Juying came out.

Li Ye was stunned for a moment and asked, "Grandpa, Grandma, when did you come? Why don't you go in?"

Li Zhongfa waved his hand seriously and said, "I've told people that as long as your door is closed, no one can get in."

"No one can influence my grandson to write novels, and no one can influence the children of our unit to become great writers."

The person in charge of the Second Grain Store followed up and said, "Director Li is right. Our unit has been here for so many years, but we still haven't produced any serious intellectuals."

Okay!

Li Ye, a child of the grain system, has actually become the cultural hope of this unit.

"Okay, I'll send these students back first, and then come back to talk to you."

"No, I just came to see you. It's so late, you should get some rest! I'll take you to the school gate."

Li Zhongfa was a straightforward man. He pushed Li Ye back and left with his wife, following Li Dayong and the others.

Li Ye was a little confused.

It would be fine if grandpa Li Zhongfa came over to take a look, but what was grandma Wu Juying doing here?

.

Li Zhongfa walked out of the back door of the Second Grain Store and coughed.

Li Dayong, who was very alert, came over immediately and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

Li Zhongfa lowered his voice and asked like a secret agent, "Who is the girl you told me about?"

Li Dayong carefully pointed at Wen Leyu and whispered, "Master, I'm not sure, but my brother and this Wen Leyu are different. They are really different."
