These words made Da Shuang laugh out loud: "Mom, Ye Zi, how old are you? Look at you, you look like an elderly lady now, how come you are so worried?"

Chen Ye was both angry and amused: "Who knows? I haven't grown up yet, but my heart has already grown old. Okay, I'm just grumbling. Whatever you want to do, you still have to be willing to do it."

Da Shuang put away the smile on his face: "Ye Zi, I know you are doing this for my own good. You are the only one who cares about us two brothers so much. We are half-siblings."

"Puchi, look at what you said, they are half-siblings, but it's not impossible." They are really twins, they say exactly the same things.

"If you don't talk about studying, I haven't thought about it yet. You have to go to middle school in the fall, right? Can you go directly after taking a year off?"

"Yes, I already agreed with my teacher when I graduated last year. Last year was a special case. I couldn't just leave two elderly people lying on the kang to go to school."

"That's fine. If the commune middle school doesn't accept you, you can go to a middle school in the county town. We can always find someone to help you."

"Okay, I get it. Don't interrupt me. I'm talking about you." How come I got off track?

"As for me, it's been years since I last read a book." He's already so old, and he still has to study like a child? I feel a little embarrassed.

"I'll just learn as much as I can. It's better to be prepared than not to be. If there's an opportunity in the future, and I'm stuck with my academic qualifications and miss the chance, it'll be too late to regret it."

Da Shuang nodded thoughtfully: "Don't mention it, you are quite right. It is better to prepare early than not to prepare at all. Although the factory recruits internal workers now, they still require academic qualifications."

"Tomorrow I'll go look for elementary and middle school textbooks. I didn't even graduate from elementary school back then, so I don't know many words. I learned from others later on, so I'm not sure if I can learn them on my own."

"It's not a big problem. Primary school stuff is quite simple. If you can't figure it out, just find someone to help you. If it's inconvenient, just go back and ask me." She just taught herself and didn't find it difficult.

"Okay, we'll see what happens. I don't even want to stay in the city anymore. It would be great if I could go back to the county so we can see each other more often."

"Are you stupid? How many people want to come to the city but can't? City hukou is so popular these days. Even if you don't have a job, you still get a monthly ration. Why don't you try that in the countryside?"

Da Shuang smirked, "It's not that it's boring to be alone in the city. It's not like you and Er Shuang are so close that you can see anything you want."

"How far can it be? Just take a rest and go back to take a look." It takes less time to go back to the county town by bus than by train, but it's a bit tiring.

"Okay, I'm going to take a break. I don't know when I'll be done tonight. You should also go to bed early. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

Da Shuang glanced at his watch and said, "Alright, you rest first. When are you going to leave? Do you want me to wake you up then?"

"No, I'll be awake by then."

"Let Ershuang get you a watch too? It would be convenient to have a watch."

Chen Ye simply shook her head and refused: "Come on, I'm just a poor girl from the countryside. If I wear a watch, I don't know how people will criticize me."

That's true: "Okay, wait until your boss tells you. Be careful when you go out at night. Nothing is more important than your safety. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."

Chen Ye nodded. She cherished her life very much and didn't want to die with the so-called enemy. Those people were not as valuable as her life.

Chen Ye opened his eyes. It was so quiet outside. Was it already late at night?

I took a look at the sky and saw that the moon was not very bright today.

She got up, packed herself up, put some spare things in her pocket, walked out of the room, and climbed over the yard wall.

Da Shuang rubbed his eyes and glanced at his watch. This girl is really brave. I hope everything goes smoothly for her this time.

After the daytime rush hour, there was no need to find the direction after coming out. The streets were also very quiet. Chen Ye ran as fast as he could. If someone saw him by accident, wouldn't they be scared? They might think they had seen a ghost.

Only after arriving at the place did Chen Ye stop and carefully observe the surrounding environment. It seemed to be quieter here, so it was no wonder that Zhang Wei liked the house here.

Not hearing any other sounds in the yard, Chen Ye tried his best not to make any noise and carefully climbed into Zhang Wei's yard. The walls here seemed to be higher than those in other places.

Fortunately, there was no broken glass or anything on the wall, otherwise it would be even more difficult to climb over. Landing lightly on the ground, Chen Ye looked around the yard in the faint moonlight.

As for how big the yard is, it’s not really that big, but the house is built exquisitely and the yard is also beautifully tidied. You can tell that the person who lived here before put a lot of effort into cleaning it up.

Thinking about that good family, they were destroyed because of this yard. Zhang Wei really deserves to die! People like him don't deserve to live.

After taking a rough look at the yard and determining the direction, she carefully walked towards the house where people lived. Fortunately, the weather was still hot and it was only cold in the morning and evening, but it was not time to seal the doors and windows.

It's quite easy to do something bad through the window, but if you want to search the yard, you have to knock someone unconscious first.

Fortunately, I tried making a homemade incense last time, and it worked quite well, but it took a little longer to take effect.

After blowing a lot of smoke into the rooms where people were breathing heavily, Chen Ye found a corner and sat down, waiting for the smoke to take effect.

As she sat there, Chen Ye felt that something was wrong with this yard. The large water tank blocking her view was particularly out of place and did not fit in with the layout of the yard at all.

Was this there before? Or was it added after Zhang Wei moved in?

Chen Ye stood up and took a look into the big water tank. It was empty and there was nothing in it. She thought it was used to raise fish, although the fish in this tank looked a little ugly.

It was too dark, and she could only see clearly by putting her eyes close together. When she saw that there was not even a speck of dust on the edge of the water tank, Chen Ye felt even more that something was wrong with the water tank.

The weather in Northeast China is dry, and when it is dry, there will naturally be more dust. This water tank is not only placed in the corner but also outside. Who can come and clean it every day?

Anyone who does this will be considered abnormal, right?

Chen Ye squatted down and carefully observed the bottom of the water tank. This side was all mud land, which should be used as a small garden, different from the blue brick ground in the middle of the yard.
