Chapter 64 Go eat yourself!
After dealing with Ye Xiaodi’s affairs, I am no longer annoyed when I see him playing games. Let him enjoy this half day of happiness!
If you don’t want to study during the day, you can study in your dreams.
…
When the food was served, Grandpa Ye placed chopsticks on the table first and poured wine into two bowls. This was called offering sacrifices to the gods in their place, and everyone was not allowed to sit at the table to eat at this time.
Afterwards, they burned incense and inserted it into the door frame. The incense slowly burned, and the green smoke entangled the mugwort and calamus hung next to it. When the incense was almost burned out, the wine and drinks on the table were taken away, the chopsticks were rearranged, and everyone sat down to eat.
There are many customs in rural areas. Although Ye Zhen doesn’t understand them, after so many years, burning incense during the Dragon Boat Festival has become a habit.
"Come, drink some of this bayberry wine and see if it tastes good enough."
Dad Ye brought out the wine he had been longing for. As soon as he opened it, he could smell the aroma of the wine. He was intoxicated for a moment. Dad Ye poured it for Grandpa Ye first, then for Uncle Ye. After asking Mom Ye and Aunt Ye who said she didn't want to drink, he sat down happily.
I took a sip carefully, it was sour and sweet at first, with a strong aftertaste. I took another sip, it was fragrant and sweet, with a strong aftertaste of bayberry, without the bitterness of white wine.
This time the bayberry is much better than before, while recommending the dishes:
"Xiuying, hurry up and try the vegetables grown from leaves."
Aunt Ye really didn't believe it and picked up a piece of water spinach with chopsticks. It was crispy, tender and fragrant in the mouth, as if she was lying on the grass and smelling the fragrance of the grass.
"Delicious! This dish is really good!" Aunt Ye praised while quickly picking up another piece of food with chopsticks. Seeing that her husband was still drinking intoxicatedly, she took out an empty bowl, picked up some dishes and placed them next to it.
"Just try it for a taste, you still have to drive when you get back, so don't get drunk!"
Father Ye waved his hand: "It's okay, just stay here for a few days. How long has it been since we met for a drink?"
“Let’s do it next time. We still have to go back to work after the Dragon Boat Festival. Let’s get together during the National Day.” As he said this, he stopped Ye’s father from pouring wine.
"Then let's eat. Try this turtle, it's wild and braised today. And this steamed fish, try it too."
Seeing that the man really had something to go back for, Ye's father did not persuade him, but drinking and driving is not safe.
Aunt Ye tasted a piece of soft-shelled turtle; the meat was soft and slightly spicy; the steamed fish was light and fresh; this was what wild food was like, and she hadn't eaten it for a long time.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. This dish must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
"It's nothing, as long as it tastes good." Mother Ye smiled happily.
The amount of vegetables on the table was visibly reduced. Uncle Ye was very satisfied with the meal and quietly relaxed his stomach. Although his stomach was already bloated, his mouth indicated that he could still finish another bowl.
Aunt Ye never stopped eating. During the meal, she saw that little brother Ye was eating slurpingly and asked:
"How is Ye Yang doing in school? He is in the third year of junior high school this year, right? The high school entrance exam is coming soon. Which school do you want to apply to?"
When relatives come, they will definitely ask about three major things: study, work and partner.
Little Brother Ye slowly stopped putting the chopsticks into his mouth, and the food suddenly lost its flavor!
I smiled awkwardly: "It's okay!"
Not at all. The monthly exam results just came out and I failed half of the subjects. I didn’t even look at the papers and just tore them up quietly.
Aunt Ye continued to ask: "What is your ranking in school? What is your ranking in class?"
Ye Xiaodi felt like chewing wax, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "...The ranking is average."
In fact, my grades are at the bottom and have dropped again. I don’t want to listen in class, and I rely on guessing to get the best results in exams.
"What's the average number? Top five, top ten?" Aunt Ye seemed to be asking the final word and kept staring at little brother Ye.
"It's just like mid-stream, haha."
Please, don't ask.
Ye's mother was standing by, watching him eagerly. Ye's father hadn't even drunk his wine. The whole family was looking at little brother Ye.
Little Brother Ye: Make a hole in the ground so I can crawl into it!
Aunt Ye frowned, put away her smile and said seriously:
"Ye Yang, what was your total score in the city-wide exam a few days ago? Let me see which schools you can apply to. The school I teach at is pretty good, so try your best to get in."
Ye Xiaodi: Let me go! I can't do it!
Aunt Ye's school is also one of the provincial key schools and ranks well among the city's middle schools. Every year, many students are admitted to famous and key universities, so the scores for admission are also quite high.
With Brother Ye’s current grades, it’s unlikely that he’ll be admitted to a regular high school!
"Just, just..." Brother Ye hesitated, not daring to say it out loud.
It’s over, his achievements can no longer be hidden, a criticism meeting will be held today!
"How much is it? It's so frustrating!"
Ye's mother patted Ye Yang on the back. Ye Yang's body trembled. He could not stop what was coming. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and quietly shrank to the side.
"Less than four hundred!"
"Less than four hundred!!" Ye's mother opened her eyes wide in shock!
Ye Zhen was watching the show from the side and asked suddenly: "How much is less than four hundred? Three hundred is also true, two hundred is also true, even..."
The drawn-out tone felt like a sharp knife stabbing Ye Yang's heart.
Ye Yang: Please, let the child go! Stop talking.
"Three hundred and eight!" Ye Yang squatted under the table and just happened to avoid Ye Ma's iron sand palm.
"Get up and explain yourself. Why did you get such a low score? Didn't you get over 500 last time?"
Ye's mother pulled Ye Yang out from under the table, pressed him on the chair, and asked directly.
The total score of their high school entrance examination is 730, and this is just half of it!
You can’t get into the ordinary middle schools here unless you have 550 yuan!
"Why else? He must be wasting his time on playing around! Then his cell phone data and phone usage will be charged up quickly, right?" Ye Zhen stuck in the knife.
"Every day, everyone is busy playing games and using their phones. Who would remember the scores with all the red crosses on the big test paper?"
"You are not allowed to bring a cell phone with you anymore. Your dad and I will be watching you." Mother Ye gritted her teeth in anger.
You bastard, you never stop making trouble.
"How about this, Ye Yang can go to our school's affiliated middle school class during this period. I'll ask the principal if he can join the class for a while?"
The company commander who asked the question - Aunt Ye suggested that Ye Yang's grades were really dangerous. If he didn't push himself at the end, he would not be able to get into high school and would only be able to go to a technical school.
No! Ye Xiaodi wanted to say it, but he didn't dare! Under the eyes of his aunt, how could he have a good life?
Don’t agree, don’t agree, Ye Xiaodi prayed secretly.
"No, it's still not possible. Not only do you have to go all the way here, but you also have to ask for favors, and you still have to teach several classes yourself. Forget it."
Dad Ye refused. He knew that Aunt Ye's school was a combination of junior high school and high school, and all the students were top students from all over the country. It was really embarrassing to look at Ye's grades, and Aunt Ye would lose face.
Besides, even if Ye Yang went there for a short time, it would be difficult for him to integrate into the environment because he was surrounded by students with good grades.
Ye Xiaodi relaxed, but was caught off guard and slapped by his mother again.
"You are such a loser. If you fail to get into high school, you can come back and farm with me! You don't need to hire help to farm the land at home. You can do it all by yourself!"
Ye's mother cursed and continued, "You started working during the summer vacation. You are usually lazy and afraid of being tired and hard work. You are not good at studying. Let's see what you can do!"
"I'm telling you, we won't let you rely on us, you can rely on yourself!"
