Chapter 356 Two 'Escapes'

When she reached the front door of her house and looked at the open door, she felt better. It was her fourth brother who came to see her. It was a good time for her to pack up and go back to the village with her fourth brother to live for a while. It had been a long time since she had been for a walk in the mountains.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, I'm back."

"Fourth brother? Fourth brother?"

After a long while, Cen Zixiang finally came out of the large kitchen in the middle. "I felt like someone was calling me. Why don't you come in? What are you doing standing at the door?"

Chen Ye glanced at the kitchen next to him. What’s the matter? The small kitchen can’t even accommodate you, right?

Ever since his grandparents passed away, Chen Ye rarely used the big kitchen. He ate, drank and lived in the small courtyard where he lived at the beginning. He only went there to exercise every day.

"No, why did you go over there to cook? I thought you were in this yard."

"Nonsense, it's so bright here, I'm willing to work just by looking at you. Did you buy some vegetables? Why are you bringing a teacup?"

Chen Ye put all his belongings from the factory in a net bag and brought them back, but they were not visible at a glance.

"Oh, I'm officially resigning today, and I won't be going to the company starting tomorrow. I thought you were planning to come pick me up, but it doesn't look like that to me."

Chen Ye glanced into the kitchen. If she wasn't mistaken, there should be someone else inside. "Is Gao Erge here too?"

Cen Zixiang quickly turned back to the kitchen and started working: "Feizi, make one less dish. I saw Ye Zi brought back two dishes, which is enough for us to eat."

Chen Ye also followed them to the kitchen door, but didn't go in. He just watched the two of them busying around. He also wanted to hear what was going on with Cen Zixiang and the other guy.

"Just tell me what's going on."

"Don't mention it," Cen Zixiang is a man who can't hold back his words.

Chen Ye waited for Cen Zixiang's next words with curiosity, and sure enough, Cen Zixiang began to complain.

"Sister, you don't know. We were planning to study hard in the village and wait for the exam, but who could have imagined that the educated youth in the village went crazy, first shouting and screaming like crazy with excitement, and then crying loudly."

"We can all understand this. Returning to the city is so difficult. If passing the college entrance examination was enough, wouldn't all the educated youth have been working so hard to get it?"

"Then these people came to their senses and started looking for information everywhere. But by the time they remembered, there was no information left in the county town. I don't know who told me that your high school brother and I had review materials, so this guy came to us in a swarm."

"I thought this was a rare opportunity, so I decided to lend them a hand. I lent them a copy of our materials and asked them to quickly copy one and return it. After all, we need them too, right?"

"Who would have thought that just because of this piece of information, someone at the educated youth camp almost had their head smashed into a dog's head, and the information was also damaged. This guy must have pissed me off to death."

"But they looked pitiful, and I softened my heart when they begged me. I thought, since I still have a copy of the information, I could lend it to them first and let them split it up. It wouldn't take long to copy one, and then we could borrow the information from each other to complete it."

"Well, even at this point, you still don't unite and you're fighting again. If it weren't for your senior brother Gao and I being good at fighting and quick to react, we wouldn't be able to keep the remaining information. It almost drove me crazy."

"I got angry and took all the information back. Okay, no one should lend it to me. Just hold on. But these people are shameless. First they came to beg me, then they used the honey trap."

Speaking of the beauty trap, Cen Zixiang became even angrier. "You said you wanted to use a beauty trap, but isn't it about having a beautiful woman? That guy is much uglier than me, and he was so pretentious trying to get close to me. I almost vomited."

"But neither of these tactics worked, so they started leading a group of people to try to blackmail us, hoping we'd compromise anyway because we were too shy."

"Hey, am I the kind of person who has both morals and a thin skin? I just went straight in and beat up the one who was leading the fight. It was only after the captain persuaded me that I spared those educated youths."

"Bah, these disgusting guys, no wonder the villagers still dislike them after all these years."

"We decided to come to you after discussing this. You shouldn't go back to the village, or you won't be able to study well."

"If we weren't waiting for a few people in the village who wanted to take the exam to copy the review materials, we would have come here two days earlier." Cen Zixiang had a look of indignation on his face, and it was obvious that he was really angry this time.

Chen Ye had no sympathy at all: "So, are you two running away?"

Cen Zixiang...look at what kind of sister this is.

Gao Fei...it seems that this is correct.

"What are you talking about? Am I still your fourth brother?"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be."

Cen Zixiang came out directly with a kitchen knife in hand, and Chen Ye quickly ran away: "I'm going to change clothes and come out to eat ready-made food. You two must work hard, otherwise I will definitely not take you in."

Cen Zixiang looked at Chen Ye's cheerful back and felt a little amused. His little sister was starting to act naughty now. "Look, she's getting more and more lively."

Gao Fei rolled his eyes secretly. "Whenever you say this, if you put away your happy expression, I'll believe you're complaining," he said. "Hurry up and get to work. Take the plates and pour out the food that Ye Zi brought back."

"Why are you pouring it? You have to wash two more plates and just eat it in the lunch box."

"Hey, it's my sister. She knew her fourth brother was coming and brought back two meat dishes."

Gao Fei...if this guy was shameless, he would be invincible.

Chen Ye was still very happy. She had someone to eat with and didn't have to cook herself. She hadn't enjoyed this kind of day for a while.

"Sister, did our grandparents call you?" Anyway, the college entrance examination has been resumed, and no one in the family remembers to contact him. His presence is getting lower and lower.

"Yes, they called me on the day of the broadcast. My uncle and aunt, my second uncle and aunt, my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother all called me. Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Cen Zixiang...that damn girl is getting more and more irritating.

"Hahahaha, just kidding, don't be angry. My family said they sent us a lot of information and nutritional supplements by mail, asking the three of us to prepare well for the exam. They said there will be rewards if we do well."

Cen Zixiang tapped Chen Ye with his chopsticks: "That's terrible. Enough. After all, I'm your brother. I'm just as unscrupulous as you. So, you really don't have to go to work starting tomorrow?"

"Well, didn't you see that I got all my things back? What about you two? Aren't you going back to the village?"

"Not yet. I'll go back when the exam is approaching. You have to take the exam in the city, right? Have you registered?"

"My household registration is here and I specify that I need to take the exam here. Do you have to go to the county town to take the exam?"

"Well, I'll take the exam in the county town. I've even found a place to live in advance. It would be quite inconvenient if Ershuang wasn't in the county town."
