Chapter 15 Memories (Part 3) Dirty

Bu Qianli thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out. One said ten years old and the other said eleven years old, a difference of one year.

Xiaodong suddenly said, "That's what they all say in the village, Mao Sui."

"So that's how it is. Your grandpa said eleven is the gross age, while your grandma said it is the actual age." Bu Qianli remembered that his grandmother had said something similar before, but she never mentioned it again.

Xiao Dong was puzzled: "What does Zhou Sui mean?"

"In weeks I mean your age calculated based on the time on your ID card, but it's not that different." Bu Qianli noticed that there were quite a lot of villagers coming and going on this path, so he called out to Xiaodong, who was walking hurriedly in front of him, to move to the edge.

"Be careful not to bump into it."

Xiaodong nodded obediently: "Yes, I will watch the road carefully."

As they were talking, the two of them had unknowingly walked to a distance of several houses away from Bu Qianli's grandmother's house.

Bu Qianli took Xiaodong to his house. Uncle Li had not left yet and his car was parked at the door.

Just as he was about to knock on the door and go in, he felt the person he held in his hand struggling, so he stopped and looked at Xiaodong who was trying to break free from him.

"Xiaodong, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaodong had just seen this beautiful, unique house. He had always been a man of little courage, which he had already used up when he invited Bu Qianli to his house. At this moment, he was feeling uneasy and kept his head down without saying a word.

After Bu Qianli repeatedly questioned him, he finally whispered what was in his heart, "…I don't dare to go in. I have never seen such a beautiful house. I am afraid it will get dirty."

Hearing this, Bu Qianli couldn't help but smile, his smile was as warm as the sun, "Xiaodong, I just promised you at grandma's house that you are my brother. Since we are brothers, then treat this place as your home. There is nothing to be afraid of going back to your own home. Come on, brother will take you in."

After saying this, he ignored Xiaodong's struggle and led the man into the house.

At this time, Uncle Li was sitting in the living room chatting with the old lady about the young master's recent situation. Just when he mentioned that the young master had scored first in the grade again, the young master came back with a child by his side.

It seemed that this child was the bullied boy they met at the village gate just now.

"Grandma, we're back."

As soon as he entered the door, Bu Qianli went up to hug his grandmother. The seemingly mature boy was still like a child in front of his familiar family.

Xiaodong had seen the old lady in front of him before. She was the richest and most respected person in the village. Many elders in the village had to listen to her.

And his house is the only one that doesn't need to hang lanterns.

"Oh, my lovely grandson, you finally come to see grandma. I missed you so much. Come, sit down quickly."

Madam Yan took her grandson's hand and looked him up and down. "Not bad, you have grown a lot taller. It seems that your bastard father didn't bully you."

Bu Qianli's smile has never faded since she saw her grandmother. "Grandma, let's not rush to talk. Look who this is first."

After saying that, he pulled out the boy who had been hiding behind him.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaodong, the grandson of the Zhou family's elder sister?"

Old Madam Yan held up her exquisite pair of reading glasses, looked at the boy carefully, and said with some surprise.

"Speaking of Sister Zhou and the others, I haven't seen them for a long time. It seems that I should take some time to go out and chat with them, so that I don't have to stay at home every day without anyone to visit me, a poor old man."

Bu Qianli knew that her grandmother was not blaming him for not visiting for so long, but was blaming Bu's father for not only secretly taking her lovely daughter away, but also pestering her every day and not letting her visit her.

"Grandma, I promise I will come to visit you often."

Madam Yan smiled with satisfaction and said, "I am very grateful that you are so filial. Stop standing and talking. Sit down quickly."

Madam Yan waved to Xiaodong, who was standing there in a daze, with a kind look on her face, "Xiaodong, come sit with your brother Qianli."

Without waiting for Xiaodong to react, Bu Qianli gently pulled him to sit beside him.

Madam Yan smiled with satisfaction, "It seems that you have not only grown taller, but also matured a lot mentally. You have even learned to take care of your younger brother. Not bad."

Bu Qianli explained the scene he saw when he came here, and Uncle Li beside him also echoed him.

After hearing this, the smile on grandma's amiable face suddenly disappeared, and then she told Xiaodong's grandmother about her request.

Madam Yan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. "It's good to let Qianli come to tutor you. After all, he is older than you and has a wider range of knowledge, which will be good for your studies."

Then she raised her hand and gently stroked Xiaodong's head, saying apologetically, "Xiaodong, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I didn't notice how some people in the village treated you. I'll go to the village chief to seek justice later."

Xiaodong shook her head in panic: "No, Madam Yan, I... don't think this is in accordance with the rules."

Madam Yan said sternly, "It is against the rules for them to bully you and look down on you. This time we must correct this bad trend, so that such a situation will not happen again in the future."

Bu Qianli also looked at him seriously, "Don't worry, grandma will take care of it. It's getting late, let's eat first."

When Xiaodong heard the word "eat", he suddenly looked up at the sky outside. It was getting dark. He stood up uneasily and said, "I...I want to go home and cook. Goodbye, Madam Yan, Big Brother, and Uncle."

After saying that, he ran towards the door quickly, so fast that Bu Qianli didn't have time to stop him.

The three people were left dumbfounded as they watched the door open. In the blink of an eye, Xiaodong disappeared from their sight.

Madam Yan stopped Bu Qianli who wanted to chase him and shook her head gently, "Don't go. He has to hurry home to cook for his family. Go find him tomorrow. Let's eat first."

Bu Qianli calmed down after being stopped by her grandmother. She then realized that Xiaodong's family was really poor. She had no choice but to go to see him tomorrow.

After all, he didn't forget his promise to tutor Xiaodong in his studies.

On the other side, Xiaodong ran back home at the fastest speed in his life, just in time to meet his parents who were returning from work.

Chi's mother took off her hat and saw a lot of sweat on his forehead. She asked in confusion: "Where have you been? Why are you sweating so much?"

Father Chi followed in, put down his work tools, frowned, and asked, "Is your ear starting to hurt again?"

Xiao Dong quickly shook his head and denied, "No, no, I just... remembered that my family hadn't cooked yet, so I ran all the way back. I ran too fast and that's why I'm sweating."

Mother Chi sighed and said, "Xiaodong, you have to study hard. When you go to the provincial capital in the future, your parents will have the opportunity to take you to see your ears."
