From the moment Uncle Chen introduced Chen Ye, Cui Zheng stared at Chen Ye with his mouth open and eyes wide open, with a dull expression, and the word "impossible" kept repeating in his mind.
I kept muttering to myself, "Not a boy? Not a boy! Impossible! How could I be wrong? How could I be wrong with my eyes?"
Suddenly, he began to doubt his business ability. How could he not even tell the difference between men and women?
He stared blankly at Chen Ye's face. Looking at it this way, she actually looked like a girl.
Bah, bah, bah, no, she looks like a girl from this perspective. No wonder I always felt that the face I saw at the end was too elegant.
Gao Yuan looked at Chen Ye apologetically and nudged Cui Zheng with his elbow. What was this brat doing? He was staring at the girl in a daze. He should be careful not to be caught as a hooligan.
Cui Zheng looked at Gao Yuan stupidly, as if to ask, why are you arguing with me?
Gao Yuan...once again regretted letting this person follow him.
"Sister Chen Ye is greeting you." He reminded in a low voice.
Cui Zheng finally came to his senses and smiled dryly, "Sister Chen Ye."
Chen Ye nodded, not caring about the way this person looked at her as if she were a monster, nor did she think about why this person looked at her that way. She probably thought it might be because she had an ordinary face and this person had seen a similar face somewhere else.
Chen Ye came over with a wild rabbit in her hand. She brought it down from the mountain yesterday and hadn't had time to eat it yet. It happened that there were guests coming to her grandfather's house today, so she brought it over as a side dish.
"Little Grandpa, I'm going to clean up the rabbit."
Chen Shengli nodded without hesitation: "The chicken at home doesn't lay many eggs anymore, should we kill them together?"
Gao Yuan quickly refused when he heard this. They couldn't bring trouble to Grandpa Chen's family if they came here: "Grandpa Chen, we'll be going to the commune soon, so we won't eat here."
"Do you still have something to do? Didn't you say it was a holiday?" Chen Shengli thought that this kid had other tasks.
Cui Zheng was a down-to-earth person and spoke before Gao Yuan: "No, we are thinking of staying in the commune at night and coming to your place during the day." He knew that the boss came here just to see the old man and had nothing else to do.
"Why are you leaving? It's not like we don't have a place to stay at home. There are plenty of empty houses. Just stay here and feel at ease. Even if you didn't come today, we would still kill the chicken and eat it. Don't be polite with me."
"Lao Gao and I have a life-long friendship. I don't like being too polite." Chen Shengli pretended to be unhappy.
Gao Yuan was not polite. At worst, he could just buy some more things tomorrow to make up for it. "I'll listen to you, Grandpa Chen."
Chen Shengli laughed heartily: "Right? Now that you're here, you should follow the host's wishes. Shuanzhu and I are the only ones at home, so you can just stay here peacefully."
Gao Yuan nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa Chen."
"My grandfather also told me to tell you that you should write him a letter when you have time, so that he won't always miss you."
Chen Shengli was happy to know that his old friend was thinking of him. He can still think of that time from time to time.
"Okay, I'll write to him from time to time in the future. As long as he doesn't find me annoying, that's all that's fine."
An old man and a young boy were chatting here, and occasionally glanced towards the well. The main reason was that Chen Ye, as a child, and a girl at that, was too skillful.
It didn't take long to hang up the two rabbits and skin them, as if the skilled person did this job every day.
When the rabbit skin fell into Chen Ye's hands, it seemed as if it was not growing on the rabbit, but a piece of clothing worn by the rabbit, a bit like a professional butcher.
Cui Zheng had already come over to watch, intending to help. This guy was even more skilled at skinning a rabbit than he was. "Girl, you're so skilled, do you do this often?"
Chen Ye???
Shuanzhu rejected it directly. This person wouldn't think that they ate meat every day, right? That wouldn't work. If others heard it and thought too much, their family would be in trouble.
"How is that possible? It takes so long for our family to eat meat. It's so hard to catch rabbits."
He was telling the truth. His sister used to exchange the rabbits she caught for money, so they couldn't eat meat all the time. They only ate meat frequently recently, but his sister said that they couldn't let others know and had to eat it quietly.
Cui Zheng chuckled and said: "Yeah, how is it possible to eat meat every day?" Who can eat meat every day? He must be a high-ranking official!
"Girl, who did you learn this from?" The guy was so skillful that if you didn't know him, you would think he was an experienced butcher.
Chen Ye raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Do I need to learn this?" He was almost saying directly, "Isn't this something you can do if you have hands?"
Chen Ye never learned hunting skills from anyone, she seemed to have learned it through her own exploration, as if she was born with the ability to hunt. Even the traps were set by her according to her memory.
Cui Zheng...
Don’t you need to learn this?
Then why isn't he very good at it?
That was even though his father had taught him many times, he just couldn't learn it well, and the rabbit skin he plucked was never intact.
Or maybe he didn't have enough opportunities to practice, so he wasn't proficient enough?
Is this the difference between smart people and stupid people?
By the way, he always thought he was quite smart.
"Sister, can I just call you Ye Zi?"
Chen Ye nodded. Isn't a name meant to be called? "Okay."
"Hey, look what I can do for you?" It was my first time here and I wasn't familiar with the place, so I didn't know where to start.
"Why don't you kill the chicken?" As long as no one gathered around her and watched her, she would be fine. She felt a little uncomfortable working with people staring at her like that.
This person seemed somewhat familiar. Could it be that this was how he treated everyone he met for the first time? Chen Ye still couldn't get used to such a person.
Cui Zheng felt that although the two of them had not formally met in the city, he had followed Ye Zi for the entire night, so they could be considered one-sided acquaintances.
"Okay, I'm good at killing chickens. Where is it?" He had only killed chickens twice, and this time he had to perform well and couldn't let the two little kids look down on him.
Chen Ye gave Shuanzhu a look, and Shuanzhu quickly took Cui Zheng to catch chickens. Thinking that there would be both rabbits and chickens today, Shuanzhu felt that he could no longer hold back his saliva.
Shuanzhu pointed at a lone chicken in the yard and said, "This is it. It hasn't laid an egg in five or six days. My grandfather said I'll feed it to him sooner or later."
Cui Zheng was so skilled that catching a chicken wasn't a problem for him. He caught the frightened chicken in no time. "Where's the knife?"
Shuanzhu trotted to the kitchen and took out the kitchen knife. Cui Zheng took it and said, "Shuanzhu, get Brother Cui a bowl to catch the chicken blood."
Shuanzhu ran to the kitchen and took out a bowl and put it on the ground.
