The brother and sister went out together, and Ye's mother also came out of the room at this time, yawning: "Old Ye, did your daughter go out?"
Ye Xinghua nodded: "Don't worry, I'll let Yang go with her sister."
"Oh, I see. I'm afraid Yang has gotten sick again. I'll go cook now. Oh, and old man, you go watch over our grandson. I'll steam some egg custard for him later!"
Meanwhile, on the country road in Yejia Village, the siblings ran one after the other. Ye Wanying felt exhausted and weak after running for less than five minutes. Sure enough, her body was in terrible shape! Gritting her teeth, she continued to run forward at the same pace.
As for Ye Chenyang, despite his weak appearance, he runs without breaking a sweat. Well, it makes sense; kids from the countryside always have to help their parents with chores, and this light task is definitely within his capabilities.
Ye Wanying ran for a while longer, and then felt short of breath. She slowed down and started walking slowly. You can't eat a whole person in one bite, so take it slow!
If you run for ten minutes today, you'll run for fifteen minutes tomorrow, twenty minutes the day after that... and so on!
"Sis, you've changed so much! We used to be neck and neck when we ran, but now... how come you're so weak?" Ye Chenyang ran beside Ye Wanying, his eyes raised and his face showing suspicion.
"Can things be the same as before? But Yang, don't underestimate your sister. It won't be long before she's back to her peak!"
Ye Chenyang pouted: "Fine, fine, my sister is the best, okay?" A good man doesn't argue with a woman, and this is his own sister, his own flesh and blood! He'll just let her have her way!
At this moment, Ye Chenyang stopped running and walked side by side with Ye Wanying.
"Yang, why aren't you in school anymore?" In her memory, her younger brother was in school, but since meeting the Ye family yesterday, she hadn't noticed that Ye Chenyang was a student.
Ye Chenyang's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Sister, I don't want to study. Studying is useless anyway. I might as well stay home and help Mom and Dad with some chores!"
Ye Wanying could easily understand what Ye Chenyang meant. The reason he came back was because he didn't have money. That's right, it was 1988, and nine-year compulsory education hadn't started yet. Her unfortunate younger brother had just finished the second year of junior high school before she got married. At that time, tuition was still quite expensive. It cost about 300 yuan per semester for junior high school, not including food and other expenses. If he went to high school, the tuition would be even more expensive, at least 500 yuan per semester.
The Ye family had already done their best to get Gongdi into the second year of junior high school; otherwise, they would never have been willing to marry her off to the Gao family for just over a hundred yuan.
"Ye Chenyang, are you stupid? How much ability do you think you can have in the future if you just stay in the fields? You must read books; you must go to school!" It's not that Ye Wanying looks down on those who work in the fields, but more importantly, Ye Wanying came from many years ago and naturally understands the changes in society. Without studying, unless there is some great opportunity, most people will not have much ability or skill.
"Sister, I don't want to study!" Ye Chenyang shouted. But how could it not be clear that this child longed to study?
Ye Wanying slapped Ye Chenyang on the forehead: "Who's in charge, you or me? You have to go to school. You don't need to worry about the tuition. Don't worry about your parents either. Use this summer vacation to read through the books for the first and second years of junior high. When school starts, you can go straight to the third year!" Ye Wanying's aura was not something Ye Chenyang, a half-grown boy, could withstand.
