"Take me over to say hello to Mr. Chen and the others." Although I had met several elderly people before, at that time it was just like meeting an ordinary elder.
Things are different now. These people have helped his younger sister a lot. As the eldest brother, he can't pretend to know nothing. From now on, he has to treat them as his own relatives.
Cen Zihu turned around and took an army green handbag from the car. He put his arm around Chen Ye's shoulder and walked towards the elderly people. When passing by the cowshed, Cen Zihu nodded slightly to show respect.
Several teachers knew this boy. Although he didn't come over to say hello to them, they all knew in their hearts that this was the right thing to do, and they were very happy to see a promising junior.
This was the first time Cen Zigu came over after Ye Zi knew that she had a biological father. He had wanted to come over for a long time, but he had just made time to come because he had a mission.
Cen Zigu brought a lot of cigarettes and alcohol that the elderly liked, as well as some soft snacks and gave them to the four elderly people. He even did not forget the youngest one, Shuanzhu, and gave him a big bag of food.
Shuanzhu was hesitant to answer the call. He knew who the man was, but he was not familiar with him. They had met once last year and had never even spoken to each other. Little Shuanzhu quickly looked at his sister. How could he accept this?
Chen Ye laughed: "Call me Big Brother, and take what Big Brother gives you."
Cen Zigu was happy to hear this introduction. Who said that his younger sister didn't want to recognize her family members? This was equivalent to acknowledging them in disguise, which meant that his family members should take the initiative. His younger sister definitely didn't call her third uncle dad because she was shy.
She controlled her small voice and said, "Thank you, big brother."
Cen Zihu patted the little boy's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you look stronger than last year. You're still a little short of being a soldier, you need to train hard."
He stood at attention and replied in a serious tone, his eyes full of admiration: "Yes, I will definitely listen to you, big brother."
Chen Ye...I don't know if the admiration is directed at the person or the clothes?
Cen Zigu took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag. Chen Ye took a look at it and saw the portrait of an air force officer printed on it. However, Chen Ye was not familiar with cigarettes. After all, among the old men, only the young grandfather and the one-eyed grandfather smoked, and they all smoked welding cigarettes.
However, the captain's eyes lit up when he saw the packaging. Cen Zihu stuffed the cigarette into his hand and said, "Ye Zi has been bothering you all the time. I didn't come here with anything. Take this cigarette back and share it with everyone."
He didn't specify anyone with this division. It's up to the team leader to decide how to deal with the matter when he gets back. It's better for the county magistrate to take charge now. Ye Zi will still have to live in the village in the future, and his own Xiao Si won't leave for a while, so it's necessary to establish a good relationship with the village leaders.
Of course, he didn't bring any gifts when he came last time. Brothers and sisters are different. It doesn't matter if a boy is raised a little roughly, but a younger sister needs to be raised more delicately.
The captain didn't feel comfortable accepting it. He had never even seen this cigarette before and had only heard about it from others. This was a special supply cigarette and ordinary people like them had no place to buy it even if they had money.
"I can't accept this. Ye Zi is our own child. Isn't it our responsibility to take care of him?" The child growing up in front of you is not your own.
If Cen Zigu really wanted to give a gift, how could he let it be returned? "Just accept it. You said we are all just like your own children. What's wrong with your own filial children accepting it?"
Cen Zixiang quickly assisted his eldest brother: "That's right, Uncle Zheng, this is a gift from your nephews to you as a filial gift, so just keep it with peace of mind."
Ye Zi also pulled back the hand that Zheng Bing had extended to refuse. "Please accept it with peace of mind. I've never been polite when accepting things from you."
Zheng Bing chuckled: "How can it be the same? What we gave you are all worthless things from home."
"What we are looking at is the consideration of treating me as your junior. Please don't be polite with my elder brother." It was rare for Chen Ye to say such words, which surprised Zheng Bing.
It’s not that this girl can’t speak, it just depends on whether she wants to speak or not. Look how comfortable her words make people feel.
"Hehehe, then Uncle Zheng will not be polite." Zheng Bing is older than Chen Ye's uncle, so it is not wrong for Chen Ye to call him uncle.
"You still need to be polite to me?"
"Girl, you've really grown up. Don't be stingy with your words when you go out. You must speak when you need to, otherwise you will definitely suffer in silence."
"I'll listen to you. I won't suffer any loss if I go out. If I really can't win the argument, I'll come back and ask you to decide for me."
Zheng Bing and Wang Weimin both looked at Chen Ye happily. Young people always looked at each other in an old-fashioned way, which made people feel depressed. It would be great if they could liven up the atmosphere a little.
"Brother, the things have been moved. Shall we go now?" Cen Zixiang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Doing this job was like wasting time doing it twice.
"Let's go, Grandpa Chen, One-Eyed Grandpa, Grandpa Feng, Grandpa Luo, Uncle Zheng, Uncle Wang, we'll leave first. We'll talk together when there's a chance." Cen Zigu said goodbye to all the elders without leaving anyone behind.
"Okay, let's go. The sooner we go, the sooner we can clean up the house."
Chen Ye and the others climbed into the car. There was no room for so many people in the front. "Ye Zi, go sit in the front. It's cold in the back."
Chen Ye shook her head: "I want to sit with you and talk." She didn't know the person driving the car, and she always felt that it would be awkward to sit together.
Cen Zihu nodded: "That's fine." He took out a military coat from the co-pilot seat and put it on his little sister: "Put it on so you don't get sick from the cold wind."
Cen Zixiang regretted not being well prepared and letting his eldest brother get ahead of him: "Brother, it's so cold now, why did you think of bringing your military coat?"
Cen Zihu gave Cen Zixiang a look that suggested he figure it out on his own. He would never answer such a weakling's question.
Chen Ye ignored the two brothers' bickering and lay on the car waving towards the back. He didn't feel anything just now, but now he felt quite reluctant. In fact, it was not very important whether he attended this class or not... right?
But when she thought about what the grandfathers were thinking, she decided to just go to work honestly. Otherwise, these grandfathers would always feel it was a pity for her that she had to come back to farm after studying so much.
Chen Ye also waved vigorously to several teachers, and several elderly people nodded slightly. They were also happy that their children could leave the countryside and go to the city.
It’s a pity that this child likes to study and is very good at it, but he just doesn’t like to do research. Otherwise, he would definitely be a good research talent.
Only when he could no longer see the people behind him and the car had left the village did Chen Ye sit down dejectedly.
Cen Zixiang sat next to Chen Ye and touched him: "Don't be sad, it's not like you won't be back. When you get off work, send a message to your fourth brother and he will pick you up in the county town."
