"I'm growing vegetables. In two months, we'll have vegetables to eat."
Chu Qi took credit, "Grandma, isn't your grandson amazing?"
Ye Zhang nodded dazedly: "You are great."
Actually, it’s not that we don’t grow vegetables at home, but it just happened that we ate them all some time ago, so we don’t plan to grow them in the winter.
Responding, she quickly picked up the porcelain bowl, walked closer to take a look, and asked curiously:
"What vegetables did you grow? It's too cold in winter, and vegetables don't survive easily. Your mother and I originally wanted to wait until next spring to plant them."
"Coriander, choy sum, and red and white radishes."
Chu Qi introduced:
"These vegetables are seeds sold by a new merchant from the next town. I heard they taste great and are very cold-resistant, so they can be grown even in winter."
Ye Zhang nodded, not quite understanding: "It's good that you can tolerate the cold, but why don't you ask grandma to come? Just focus on your studies."
Finally, she began to worry about her grandson's homework.
There was no other way. The family’s last hope was placed on the original owner. Not to mention that he had failed the exam three times, they wanted him to take the exam as long as there was a chance.
The original body said that the first two failures were due to diarrhea.
With Ye Ping as a precedent, the family did not suspect anything. They were just worried that the feng shui of the house was bad. They prayed to their ancestors and asked for blessings. A year later, they let the original person take the examination.
Fortunately, the examination for Tongsheng was held in Yuzhou, and there was no need to hire someone to act as a guarantor (guarantor was one of the conditions required for taking the Xiucai examination), which saved a lot of money, and the Ye family could barely hold on.
Well... speaking of it, it’s hard to say who was obsessed with the college entrance examination, but the whole family’s hope that someone would pass the exam has never wavered.
"Grandma, I am a strong man," Chu Qi showed off his thin arms and legs, looking very proud:
"How can I let you do such rough work? I spend a lot of time at home, so I want to share more of the housework so that you don't have to work so hard."
Mrs. Ye Zhang was so moved that she wiped away her tears: "My dear grandson has grown up. Oh, good, good."
After that, she went out to find insects to feed the chickens.
Chu Qi watered the vegetable seeds and then went to the kitchen to help watch the fire.
By the time the food was ready, Ye Zhang had almost finished her work and came back.
She washed her hands and took the porridge that had been prepared and cooled down to deliver the meal to the old man.
After dinner, Chu Qi chatted with Mr. Ye for a while.
Mainly, Mr. Ye would test Chu Qi's homework and give her some suggestions on her studies.
This time, Chu Qi was different from the original owner, the gambler who hesitated.
She could answer everything the old man asked.
Even have their own opinions.
The more Mr. Ye listened, the brighter his eyes became. He laughed happily a few times. Then he couldn't help getting excited. His throat started to itch and he started coughing violently.
The heart-wrenching cough made Chu Qi's eyebrows jump: "Grandfather!"
She hurried forward, supported the old man's back, and gently smoothed it, "Don't get too excited."
Mr. Ye slowly stopped coughing. His skinny hands tightly grasped Chu Qi's arm. His cloudy eyes were now very bright:
"Qingyun, if you keep studying like this, Grandfather believes you have a 70% chance of passing the exam next year!"
He spoke excitedly, and the crazy obsession in his eyes was frightening.
Chu Qi looked into his bright eyes, and suddenly she felt worried:
The old man's physical condition is so poor. Could it be that his obsession with living is that the original owner can pass the examination and become a student?
If this is true, then when she passes the exam, it will be the day when the old man dies? ?
Chu Qi suddenly felt a sense of urgency as she thought about the ridiculous thoughts in her mind: No, I must find a new reason for the old man to live...
.....
Chu Qi thought for two whole days about what to do to divert the old man's obsession.
I've been thinking about it, but I still have no clue.
One day half a month later, a brother and sister came to the door of the Ye family to beg for food.
Looking at that sister, Chu Qi's eyes lit up.
.....
The older sister of this pair of siblings is none other than the poor homeless beggar who was picked up and brought home by the Ye family one winter in the original plot.
The Ye family is not kind-hearted. After all, two more mouths to feed means two more burdens.
In fact, the older sister of the two siblings is very pretty. When asked about her age, she is fourteen years old, the same age as Ye Qingyun. If she is in a hurry, she can marry the boy in the family directly without having to wait for the coming-of-age ceremony.
Ye Qingyun had no interest in studying. When he went home during the holidays and saw such a beautiful lady, all he could think about was marrying her.
Getting married is not the most important thing, the main thing is that he wants to enter the bridal chamber with his beautiful wife...
Having been in the casino for so long, the original body had heard a lot of obscene words from those gamblers, all of which were words about sexually fantasizing about women. After hearing it too much, it was inevitable that one would have endless fantasies.
Once there was an opportunity, the original person ignored the fact that his elder brother was still unmarried at the age of 23, and begged the elders to give the beauty to himself.
Everyone in the family dotes on him, including his eldest brother, so they just let him do what he wants.
However, for some unknown reason, the original owner was unable to make his wife pregnant after two years of marriage until his hands were chopped off by the casino's thugs.
.....
Looking at the handsome young man in blue shirt in front of her, Zhuang Qiuling's heart tightened. For some reason, she had the illusion that she was being stared at by a jackal.
She silently clenched her brother's hand and said with red eyes: "Please be kind and give me something to eat..."
As he said this, he knelt down.
She and her brother wandered for a long time, like beggars.
In other words, he has become a beggar.
He was often hungry and could only fill his stomach occasionally by finding food scraps thrown away by the rich.
