She asked the question so suddenly that people thought she had some agenda. It was hard to say whether they would dare to answer her.
Seeing the regretful look on her face after the teacher finished speaking last time, she decided not to cause trouble for others. What if she scared others again?
"Forget it. I'll study it myself. I don't believe I can't learn it." When it comes to learning, Chen Ye always has a spirit of not admitting defeat.
Chen Shengli also thought of something, but he didn't want to say it out loud before asking others. He would wait until those people came over and ask them carefully.
"Grandpa, I've accepted so many books from you, so shouldn't I give you a little more in return?"
"Just keep them now. Didn't you say there's nowhere to buy these books right now? But meat is in short supply everywhere. When the time comes, get some dried meat or something and send it over."
"That's fine. When I've almost harvested all the mountain produce, I'll go check it out. Do you want to write back?"
When it comes to writing letters, Chen Shengli gets worried. He knows some characters, but he has trouble writing when he starts writing. "Since you're staying at home, please write a letter to your Grandpa Gao for me tonight."
"Ah! Okay," how could she have forgotten that her grandfather couldn't write very well? People who didn't know would have thought that Shuanzhu was the grandfather's grandson, and the two of them were the same.
"Why is there still fabric here?"
Chen Ye took out two pieces of cloth from the bag. The darker one was enough to make a set of clothes for two adults, while the lighter one was less, which was just enough for her to make a set of clothes.
Her fingers started to ache at the thought of making clothes, but she had to learn this skill. She couldn't always use food to find someone to make clothes for her. She would have to learn it sooner or later.
"Just keep them all when they're mailed to you. They don't need them. Don't worry about me. Just make a couple more sets of clothes for yourself."
He and Shuanzhu ate the same food, but his clothes were much better than Ye Zi's. The reason why he ate the same food was that the ingredients were hard to come by now, and he didn't have the cooking skills to do it.
"You're a grown-up girl now, so don't wear your old clothes anymore. I've saved some cloth coupons, so I'll make you two extra sets of clothes, both thick and thin."
It was okay when she was young, it didn't matter if her clothes were a little torn. Ye Zi was already a grown-up girl in her teens, and she needed to dress up a little. Her family was not so poor that they couldn't afford clothes for her.
"Oh, okay, I'll make two more sets of clothes myself," the two brothers also got her a lot of fabrics, but they never had the time to sit down and learn how to make clothes.
"If you can't do it, go to the village and find someone to make clothes for you. If you can't learn it, then don't learn it. At most, you will spend some money and food. There are plenty of people willing to do this." Chen Shengli also knew that no one had ever taught Ye Zi needlework.
"Okay, I'll try it myself first. If I really can't learn it, I'll find someone to do it for me." If she really can't learn it, she won't force herself.
"Grandpa, have you ever eaten fried dough sticks?" Chen Ye seemed to be able to still recall the crispy taste of the fried dough sticks.
"Why, did you eat fried dough sticks last time you went out?"
"Hey, yes, it's really delicious. It's oily and crispy when you bite it. I just don't know how to make it. Can I learn it? I bought a big bucket of oil. If I learn it, I'll make it for you and Shuanzhu to try."
"I have eaten it, many years ago. It is delicious. When you learn how to make it, please cook it for me." He had eaten those delicious foods when he was in the army. It was difficult to eat something delicious after he came back.
"Isn't that in your recipe?"
Chen Ye shook his head: "No, the recipes are all about stir-fries and mixed vegetables."
"There are some snacks on the table in the room. You can take them back later. You get hungry quickly when you're growing up, so snacks are just right for filling your stomach."
"No need, you can keep it for you and Shuanzhu. I have more at home." They were all brought by Dashuang and Ershuang.
"By the way, I saw a military canteen for you to take back. You can bring it with you when you go up the mountain. It's good for holding water and you can boil water on the fire. You can't drink cold water all the time. It's much colder in the mountains than outside."
"Oh, I see."
"Sister, are you done with your work? Come here quickly and let me see it." She urged him scratching her ears and cheeks. If she didn't finish learning, the teacher would have to spank her hands tomorrow. That thing hurt just looking at it.
"Here, here, let me see what you wrote first," Chen Ye took the tied homework book, which was so dark that people had no desire to take a second look.
She opened a new page and felt more comfortable looking at it. "Okay, you write and I'll watch. If it's wrong, I'll tell you. You write Chinese first."
The string is obedient and writes whatever you ask it to write, but the quality is really bad.
"Can't you write more neatly?" Chen Ye looked at the clean homework book, which turned black in a short time, and was convinced.
"No, you're missing something. I've told you several times, why can't you remember?"
This character hurts my eyes when I read it. One character is written as two characters. There is one stroke missing here or there. It is so difficult to write such a simple character.
"Rewrite it. If you stop making gestures, I'll punish you." Chen Ye's voice rose unconsciously.
He tied up the boy's neck and used an eraser to erase the wrong words. He always felt that his sister seemed unhappy at the moment.
"Wait, what's 5 minus 3? You can't possibly be wrong if you just count on your fingers, right?"
"You're counting for me again."
Chen Shengli no longer sat in the yard, but limped into the house. He felt that Ye Zi was about to explode, so he decided to stay away to avoid being affected.
Chen Ye's voice suddenly rose: "Tan Cheng, calculate it for me again? 5-3=what?"
Shuanzhu, who was writing 3 after the equal sign, shrank his neck. He had only written half of 3 and didn't know whether to continue. That's right, 5-3 is not equal to 3. What is it equal to?
Chen Ye walked around the yard angrily for a few times and took a deep breath, afraid that he would lose control and hit his brother. Why is this kid so stupid that he can't even figure out addition and subtraction within 5?
Is there any hope for this guy to move up from first grade to second grade? Doesn't it take several years to finish first grade?
She thought about it and turned her back to Shuanzhu. She couldn't bear to look at Shuanzhu's ignorant face, and she was afraid to take action directly.
Standing in the yard, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. His steps were heavier than usual. He walked to the pile of firewood and looked at it.
Chen Shengli tilted his head to look outside, then quickly retracted his head. Oh my god, is he going to get beaten? He should not get involved in the affairs of the two siblings.
Shuanzhu was secretly looking at his sister. When he saw his sister going to find a stick, he felt a pain on his back. He didn't know if it was too late for him to beg for mercy.
If he cries louder, will his sister be more compassionate and gentler? Will his grandfather come to save him?
If only he hadn't skipped class with Hu Zi and the others to catch frogs today, would he have learned the problem?
