Chapter 116 Suddenly I Can't Laugh Anymore
She has completed most of her summer homework, with only a little bit left.
The homework consists of workbooks distributed by the school. The same workbook is used for the entire grade, with one workbook for each subject.
The answers at the back of the workbook had already been torn out, so there was nothing to copy; I could only do it honestly.
Shen Xuewei has completed most of her homework, with only the last subject, math, remaining a little bit unfinished.
She found her workbook and a piece of draft paper, and sat down at her desk in the room to write diligently.
The Chen family members spoke in the main room, sometimes loudly, sometimes softly, but their voices gradually faded as time passed.
Around nine o'clock, Shen Xuewei finished all her homework and breathed a sigh of relief.
She took out some clothes from the wardrobe next to her, put them in a plastic bag, and planned to take water to shower.
Chen Fangli, who was speaking quietly to Grandma Xi, saw her come out with clothes and quickly took a bucket to the water vat.
Shen Xuewei tried to stop her, "Second Aunt, I can do it myself."
Chen Fangli just smiled and said, "It's alright. Your second aunt isn't around often. School is about to start again, so why don't you let your second aunt help you carry a bucket of water? Are you being too formal with your second aunt?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuewei let go of her hand again, "Second Aunt, no, Weiwei and you are the best of friends."
"Okay, then move aside a bit, Auntie is getting water."
Chen Fangli filled the tub with water and told her to go take a bath.
She went upstairs to check on Chu De'an, who was already asleep, and covered him back up with the blanket he had kicked off. Seeing that he was still fast asleep, she went downstairs with peace of mind.
Shen Xuewei took a shower, then washed some clothes and hung them out to dry in the sun.
Chen Fangli waved to her, "Weiwei, it's almost ten o'clock, come back to sleep."
"Yes, right away."
Shen Xuewei responded loudly and darted into the house in a few steps, carrying the bucket.
Chen Fangli slept with Shen Xuewei tonight. The two talked for about half an hour before going to sleep, and Shen Xuewei gradually became sleepy and fell asleep.
Chen Fangli and her son stayed at the Chen family home until the 30th.
Because Shen Xuewei was going back to school today, Chen's grandfather specifically told Chen Fangqiu not to wander off and to take Shen Xuewei to school.
Therefore, Chen Fangqiu spent the entire morning at home today, which was quite unusual.
Chen Fangli helped Shen Xuewei pack her things, putting the sorted items into a wooden box for her.
I noticed the diary at the bottom of the box. "Weiwei is so persistent in keeping a diary. I bought this diary more than four years ago. I didn't expect her to still have it with her."
Shen Xuewei smiled and said, "Yes, I have that habit."
In fact, she didn't have the habit of writing a diary at all; the notebook was filled with densely packed entries about the future.
The contents of this diary are crucial to her future success, far more important than any worthless diary.
A bad pen is worse than a good memory. It has been more than four years since she was reborn, and she has unknowingly forgotten many things from her previous life.
Fortunately, she had written down some important events in her notebook beforehand and would occasionally look them up, which prevented her from forgetting too much.
The box was filled with clothes, mosquito nets, and other miscellaneous items. Shen Xuewei took out a lock and locked the box.
Chen Fangli carried the box out and placed it at the door.
Chen Fanglan had also packed her things, and stood at the door with her shoulder bag on her back.
She looked back into the house and shouted upstairs, "Chen Fangqiu, come down quickly, we're going to town."
Chen Fangqiu didn't speak, but she could hear noises coming from upstairs.
A short while later, Chen Fangqiu put on her shoes and came downstairs with a "tap tap tap".
He lit a cigarette with a lighter and walked past the group while smoking it.
Chen Fangli grumbled discontentedly, "They don't learn the good things, they only learn the bad things, like smoking and drinking..."
Chen Fanglan listened and sighed, "Keep your voice down. His temper has been getting worse lately. Last time I tried to advise him, he yelled at me."
Chu De'an, who was looking for fleas for Big Yellow, clapped his hands, stood up, and chimed in:
"That's right, my uncle is getting fiercer and fiercer. This morning when I woke up, I tried to wake him up, but he glared at me."
Shen Xuewei listened from the side and then looked him up and down.
Relieved that nothing was wrong, I gave them a final word of advice:
"Your uncle has a bit of a temper, so try not to provoke him in the future. If anything happens, remember to come and talk to me, okay?"
Chu De'an nodded emphatically, "I know. Sister, I'll listen to you."
Seeing that Chen Fangqiu had already walked to the motorcycle, he took two deep drags on his cigarette and finished it.
Chen Fangli quickly took Shen Xuewei's suitcase and went over.
Just as Shen Xuewei was about to take the quilt, which was packed in a snakeskin bag, over, Chen Fanglan took it for her first.
Shen Xuewei watched their retreating figures, smiled slightly, adjusted the strap of her schoolbag, and was about to walk over when Chu De'an stopped her.
She looked down at Chu De'an with a puzzled expression.
"If you have something to tell me, hurry up and say it, or your uncle will get impatient and lose his temper."
Chu De'an glanced nervously at the three people over there, tugged at Shen Xuewei's clothes, and whispered:
"Sis, could you give me a dollar? I want to buy spicy snacks at school and share them with my friends when school starts."
"They said that as long as there are spicy snacks to eat, they will acknowledge me as their boss."
"Don't tell my mom. She'll scold me if she finds out I bought spicy snacks."
Shen Xuewei almost laughed; this little guy, at such a young age, was already thinking about being the boss.
She remembered when Chu De'an was fourteen or fifteen years old, he also led a group of young punks through the streets and alleys, becoming the leader of a group of young punks, and suddenly she couldn't laugh anymore.
Looking at Chu De'an pleading before her, she hesitated before taking out money from her pocket.
"I can give it to you, but don't go astray, and don't become a bully or bully your classmates. You have to study hard, understand?"
Chu De'an stared at the money in her hand, his eyes shining.
"I know, sis. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Shen Xuewei gave him a serious look. She knew he would become the leader of a group of thugs in the future, which was why she distrusted him so much.
Her finger paused on one of the five-yuan bills, then she pulled out the one-yuan bill next to it and handed it to Chu De'an.
After hesitating for a moment, I took out another one-yuan note and gave it to him.
"Alright, that's all I can give you. Be good at school and listen to your teachers and aunt. When I come back next time, I'll treat you to ice cream and sweet drinks."
Chu De'an took the two yuan, his eyes crinkling with joy.
"good!"
He stayed where he was and waved to Shen Xuewei, who then jogged to the roadside and got on her motorcycle.
After she got on the bus, she moved forward a bit, and Chen Fanglan straddled her and sat down.
Once the two were settled, Chen Fangqiu twisted the accelerator and sped off.
Chen Fangli seemed to be explaining something, but Chen Fangqiu's motorcycle was going too fast and Shen Xuewei didn't hear clearly. She barely managed to reach out and wave behind her.
Sitting on the motorcycle, Shen Xuewei was much better off than when she was half-dead in the car.
She chatted with Chen Fanglan along the way, and time seemed to fly by. Before long, they arrived at the school gate.
