"Sister, sister, can you take me with you tomorrow? I can even carry your things for you. What a great laborer."
"Sister, sister, you know I'm the most obedient. I'm destined to be the most qualified lackey."
"Sister, just take me with you, okay?"
"Sister, please..." Shuanzhu wanted to sit on the ground and hug Chen Ye's thighs to beg, and the obedient words were spoken out as if they were free of charge.
Chen Ye stretched out a finger and pushed away the head that was tied up and leaned forward: "What do you mean together? School is about to start. Are you not going to school?"
"Hehe, well, with my grades, it's okay if I don't go for a day or two, right?" Anyway, even if he studied from morning to night, his grades didn't seem to improve at all.
Chen Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Just go to school honestly. If I find out you're skipping classes to go out and play, I'll teach you a lesson."
As the years went by and Chen Ye took her son to and from school, she couldn't help herself. She tried to be a good sister who didn't hit her brother, but instead often used a small branch to punish the boy because of his studies.
Of course, everyone agreed with this punishment. Every time he was tied up and beaten, there would be people watching and cheering, and some would even complain that she was too lenient and felt too sorry for the boy.
What was the result? The boy didn't get better, but became tougher.
Shuanzhu smiled foolishly and moved back subconsciously. It still hurt when his sister hit him, and he was not indestructible.
Chen Ye got angry when he saw Shuanzhu like this. He raised his foot and gently kicked Shuanzhu on the butt: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way."
"Sister, how can you say that to me? I'm such a capable man. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it well." The still thin chest was slapped loudly by the man who was being shut up.
Chen Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance, lowered his head and continued to busy himself. Talking to this kid made him furious.
Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye. Now it is 1972. In a few years, she can take the college entrance examination and visit other cities.
Three years later, Chen Ye had grown from a skinny girl into a graceful young lady. The sixteen-year-old girl was beginning to show the graceful figure of a young girl.
Now people won't think she is a boy when they see her. Her hair has grown a little longer and just covers her ears. If everyone hadn't asked her not to cut her hair short, she would definitely not have such troublesome hair.
The facial features have grown a lot, and her complexion is no longer sallow due to good nutrition. Without the disguise, her original skin color is revealed. Although it is not particularly white, it can be seen at a glance that she is different from the girls in the village.
Maybe it's natural, or maybe it's because she's young, but her skin is a little rough because she's never taken care of. The difference between her and the other dark-skinned girls in the village is quite obvious.
He had grown half his head taller, and must have been at least 1.7 meters tall. However, he still looked very thin, as if the three bowls of rice he ate for every meal were wasted.
Chen Ye felt that she definitely did not eat in vain, and the food she ate turned into nutrients for growth. Although she was already so tall, the fact that she could grow so tall in this era proved that she ate well.
Her height was not unique in the village, but it was among the highest. After all, people didn't care about nutrition these days. It was good enough to fill their stomachs. Some people even had extra nutrition to grow taller.
Chen Ye's height also made Chen Shengli even more puzzled. How could their Chen family have such a different stature when it came to Ye Zi? In his memory, no one in their Chen family had been tall since his great-grandmother's generation.
Even the ones that grew as small as potatoes in previous years have not grown any smaller in recent years.
The eleven-year-old boy is more than 1.5 meters tall. His body has become stronger due to daily exercise with Chen Ye. He no longer looks like a big-headed doll.
In the past three or four years, Chen Ye rarely went out. Every time he went out, he would buy a lot of supplies. It was normal for him not to leave the village for several months, so his life was relatively smooth in the past few years.
It seemed that as long as she didn't leave the village, she wouldn't encounter strange people or things, so she preferred to stay in the village. Who would want to cause trouble for themselves?
Starting three years ago, Chen Ye would go into the mountains every autumn, and no one could stop her. She was quite opinionated and particularly liked adventure. After all, she also had other purposes.
When she was thirteen, she went into the mountains for the first time. She was gone for seven days and came back in a very miserable state. Several old people felt very distressed for her, but they did get a lot of good medicine.
In the past two years, Chen Shengli and Duyan's legs have visibly improved. At least when the weather changes, they no longer feel unbearable pain. Even Old Man Feng and Old Man Luo, who followed them to get some medicinal wine, have become much healthier.
I don’t know why these old men were so nice to Chen Ye. They gave almost all their family assets to Chen Ye. Chen Ye didn’t refuse but just said that they would keep it for the time being and ask her for it when they needed it.
She actually likes these things, and there should be no one who doesn't like these good things, but she is not a greedy person, and she will never take possession of things that she shouldn't touch.
It’s a good time to go up the mountain to pick ginseng again this year, and Chen Ye decided to go into the mountains without hesitation.
This year she decided to go somewhere else. She had already copied the pattern on the jade pendant, and she had been looking for it for three years.
It's just a pity that after searching for three years, she still hasn't found the correct location on the map. But she is not discouraged. Finding this thing is fate, and if she can't find it, she will just treat it as a new game.
As for how urgent she was, she wasn't in a hurry at all. If she was really anxious, she wouldn't have looked for it only once a year. She never thought that she would definitely find the so-called treasure, but she always felt like something was missing if she didn't look for it.
"elder sister……"
"Sister, what are you thinking about? I've called you several times, why don't you pay attention to me?" Guan Gu bravely shook Chen Ye's arm.
Seriously, why does his sister still get distracted while talking? Why does this problem seem to be getting worse? Is there something on his sister's mind?
Chen Ye came to his senses and realized that he had been distracted again: "What did you say?"
"Sister, you've already graduated, aren't you in a hurry to find a job?"
His sister is a high school graduate and the one with the highest education in the village. He doesn't want his sister to continue working in the fields every day like before. People in the village say that their sister has wasted her time studying and will have to come back to farm and waste the tuition fees.
He just couldn't stand hearing this. His sister was such a smart and capable person. Why did others say that to her?
"Let's talk about it later. We don't have any crisis of going to the countryside. After the recent peak of going to the countryside is over, I will go to the city to take a look. Brother Ershuang and the others will help me keep an eye on it."
