If this child doesn't become independent, he might be controlled by Chen Laoer in the future.
"What can I think? I live alone. Don't bother contacting my father. If you can't get in touch with him for such a long time, it means he doesn't want to take care of the village affairs."
"You know I can support myself, whether I have that father or not. I'm going to stay at my grandfather's house for a while, and then I'll think of other ways."
"I just want to go out. My grandparents are gone now, and I have to go tell my father about the death, so that he won't blame me for hiding the truth about my grandparents from him later."
As for the main purpose of her visit, it is better not to say it out loud. These days, it is not easy for children to sever ties with their parents on their own initiative. Besides, the matter has not been done yet, so it is hard to say what will happen next.
Zheng Bing opened his mouth and wanted to say, "If you haven't come back and there's no news, how can you go and find someone to see you? Besides, your father will definitely not pay for your living expenses."
But he couldn't discourage the child's hope. The child was pitiful enough, and it was understandable that he wanted to see the father he had never met.
He really didn't realize that Chen Dasheng was such a person. It's not like he hasn't been a soldier before. Why would he be so busy that he didn't go home for more than ten years?
Even if you don't go home, you should still think about the elderly and children at home. You can be so busy that it seems as if your parents and children don't exist.
It's good for Ye Zi to leave. If all hope is gone, she will naturally come back to live a good life. Ye Zi is capable of supporting herself without any problem. If they take care of her a little more, it will definitely be better than the previous miserable life.
"Are you going alone?"
"Well, don't worry, I'm strong and can protect myself. I'll just go take a look and come back straight away. But before I go out, do I need a letter of introduction?"
Zheng Bing was still a little worried about letting a little girl who had never been far away go out alone. Although Ye Zi was alone now, she still had her little grandfather, Uncle Chen. He would go to Uncle Chen to ask her later.
"Okay, go back first. I'll give you a letter of introduction tomorrow."
Chen Ye didn't insist. It didn't make any difference whether it was a day earlier or later. "Okay, Uncle Zheng, I'll go back now. I'll move to my grandfather's house tomorrow morning."
"Let's go, leave this to me."
When Zheng Bing saw the two new educated youth, he felt a headache. He didn't know why these educated youth were so troublesome. You said you have nothing to buy a house, but you dare to give them money just because you heard someone say it?
This is because Ye Zi is easy to talk to. Ye Zi holds the house deed in her hand but refuses to acknowledge it. These two people have to swallow this loss.
If these two had asked them a few more questions, they wouldn't be in such a passive position as they are now. He also has to find someone to find Chen Laoer. Without the receipt from Chen Laoer, the person who received the money, who can admit that you really bought this house?
Xu Bowen smiled politely at Zheng Bing and asked, "Captain, what do you think of our situation?"
Zhou Peipei seized the opportunity to speak: "Let me tell you, we spent money, don't say there are no witnesses or anything like that, can the two of us lie?"
Xu Bowen quickly pulled Zhou Peipei and said, "Just shut up! You've turned a good thing into a bad one. Why didn't I realize that Peipei was so stupid before?"
Chen Ye shook her head after leaving the brigade headquarters. It was a good thing that these two idiots didn't make a deal with her, and it was also a good thing that she was too busy every day and not curious about these educated youth. It seemed that these people's thinking was different from that of the villagers.
His sense of superiority is almost reaching the sky, and he almost looks down on you when he speaks to you. Chen Ye really doesn't like to pay attention to such people.
But? Zhou Peipei? Xu Bowen? Why do I feel like I've heard these two names somewhere before?
After thinking for a long time, she couldn't remember where she had heard it before, so she gave up thinking about it. It had nothing to do with her anyway, so she decided to go back and pack up her mess.
At that time, she was short of everything and she was reluctant to throw away even a piece of cloth. Even those tattered clothes that were almost unwearable could be used to make shoe soles.
Chen Ye has very few things, a total of five sets of clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they are all patched up. She doesn't dare to use force when washing them, for fear that she will accidentally damage them and have nothing to wear.
The two old people in the Chen family would not make clothes for her. From childhood to adulthood, she had picked up clothes from other people. Even so, she still remembered the favors. It is said that in this era, everything is scarce, and few people are willing to give away patched clothes.
She was going to take away a few tattered clothes, two wooden basins she made herself, and the only thing left in the house that belonged to her, including the tattered quilt she was covering herself with.
Even though the quilt is torn, there is a layer of new cotton inside. Otherwise, how could she survive the winter? It's just like the thick new cotton-padded jacket she wears underneath, which she can only wear secretly.
Oh, right, Chen Ye quickly got up. There was still money she had hidden in the back of the box. She almost forgot about it because it had been so long. She couldn’t let it go to others. That was the money she earned from buying wild game in the mountains a few years ago.
She didn't have time to go out this year, and had no place to spend the money, so she just kept the money there and never took it out.
She moved the only piece of furniture in the room, a wooden box, and turned it over. At the bottom of the box, there was a piece of wood that looked like a patch.
If you don't know how to fix it, you would think that the bottom of the box is broken, so you just found a piece of wood to patch it up. In fact, this was added by Chen Ye herself later. She pulled the extra piece off the edge of the wood.
After pulling the wooden board hard, it was pulled out directly. Chen Ye managed to make a secret compartment the size of a book out of the almost flat bottom of the box.
When the wooden board was pulled out, the scattered money inside flew out. Chen Ye quickly took out all the remaining money and piled them together. It looked quite spectacular, a small pile.
Chen Ye smiled, rubbed her hands and began to count the money. She didn't know how many times she had counted the money. She knew the exact amount, but she still liked the feeling of counting money.
The money was all scattered, with almost no ten-yuan bills. It was just some small change, tattered and some of it was very dirty. Chen Ye didn't mind it at all, as it was the result of her several years of hard work.
She didn't mind even if the money she earned was worth less. She straightened out the bills one by one, and it was exactly 411.52 yuan. Together with the 425 yuan she got from Old Lady Chen, she now had a savings of 836.52 yuan.
She is considered to be one of the richest women in the village, but she won't tell anyone about this, as she knows very well that the meat should be eaten while it is in the bowl.
Once the house is built, she will be able to live freely and eat whatever she wants and wear whatever she wants.
