What kind of children are least liked by their peers? It's other people's children.
You think everyone is the same and you are considered excellent, but there is that one person who, when mentioned by adults and elders, all give a thumbs up and praise him endlessly.
They also take the opportunity to criticize you, which makes people dislike such people.
Therefore, Chen Ye has a low presence in the village, but is quite famous and not very popular among his peers and children.
Chen Ye has lived in Fengshou Village for sixteen years, and he only has Erya as his good friend. If he doesn't give her a cold look when meeting other friends, he would be considered reserved.
But Chen Ye doesn't care. With so many things going on in life every day, who has the time to think about making friends every day.
She really liked talking and chatting with Eryatou, but it was a pity that Eryatou got married last year when she was old enough. Fortunately, the man she married was from the same village, otherwise it would be difficult for them to see each other in the future.
Chen Ye sat under a tree to eat. During the busy farming season, the primary school would be closed and Shuanzhu would take on the task of cooking.
Not having to work in the fields is more laborious than working there. After all, the four old men and the three young men, Chen Ye, all rely on him for feeding.
This guy really likes doing this job: "Sister, how does it taste?"
The food served at Shuanzhu has never been anything special. It looks similar to others from the outside, and only those who have eaten it know what’s inside.
"It's delicious. Our family's cooking skills are amazing. We're almost as good as your Ershuang brother."
"Hehe, hehehe, sister, if you like it, eat more. I will make you whatever you want to eat in the evening." Shuanzhu was so happy to hear the compliment. He loved listening to his sister talk.
"Anything is fine. My brother makes delicious food. I have some ingredients in the cellar. Go back and see if there's anything you can use."
"Shuanzhu, I think you shouldn't join the army. Just find a job as a chef when the time comes." Being a soldier is dangerous, and the grandfather would probably be worried if Shuanzhu really left.
This is the child that my grandfather raised. He has gone so far away and may not come back for several years. How can I not miss him?
Shuanzhu immediately shook his head: "I have decided to join the army, but I prefer cooking. When the time comes, I will be a cook." Anyway, he just liked the clothes and had no opinion on what kind of soldier he joined.
Chen Ye...
"Then you need to practice your craft well. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll find a way to get it back for you. You can also just tell your Ershuang brother directly."
"Okay, sister, don't just eat the dry food, drink some soup to smooth it out. I'll come over and help you in the afternoon."
"No, it won't take long to finish this little bit of work. You're already tired from cooking, so you don't need to come help. Go back later, clean up, and then take a nap."
During the busy farming season, you don't have to tie them up and go to the fields. You just need to do the logistical work for everyone. When the time comes, if each person ties up a little food, it will be enough for this kid to earn work points.
"I'm not sleepy. How can I be tired just by cooking some food?" Doesn't he cook every day? Cooking has never been considered a chore for him.
"Sister, look, is that Sister Erya?" Shuanzhu saw a figure walking towards them. The figure was a bit stout and looked familiar.
Chen Ye looked back and said, "Really." She quickly finished her meal. "Okay, you can go back now."
At this time, the second girl also came over. Chen Ye quickly helped her sit down: "How can you walk with such a big belly? The road here is not easy to walk."
"Hey, it's been a while since I last saw you. I came to see you."
The second girl is already pregnant, and her belly is quite big. The family she married into is not bad, at least they are not the kind of family that would torture their daughter-in-law.
The pregnant second girl doesn't have to go out to the fields, but she still has to do housework at home and cook for the workers.
"When are you going to give birth?" She really didn't know anything about this, but she felt that the second girl's belly was frighteningly big.
"The baby will be born in two months. Hurry up and give birth. It's really uncomfortable for me to be idle all of a sudden."
She is used to working, and she was happy when she took a break at first, but after a long time, she couldn't stand doing housework all day.
She just doesn't like doing the tedious housework; she prefers to work hard in the fields and earn work points.
Chen Ye glared at the second girl: "It seems like you have the final say, but your belly is so big, you have to be careful in everything you do and don't show off."
"Why are you talking to me like my mother? Don't worry, I'm an adult." She always felt that Ye Zi seemed older than her and spoke in an old-fashioned manner.
"How's it going back home?"
The second girl's sudden marriage also caused the Lu family to avoid it for a while, just like when the eldest girl got married. The family lost its pillar and it felt like there was no one to make decisions on everything.
"It's good. The third and fourth girls are grown up now. Life is better than in the past few years. I'm married to a village girl, so if anything happens, I can just go home."
"That's fine. You don't have to worry about your mother's family all the time. You still have two younger sisters. Didn't you go through the same thing in the beginning? I think the third and fourth girls can also be capable. You just need to live your own life well."
Erya's in-laws are open-minded, and they will not be happy if she keeps thinking about her parents' home. She only has this one good friend, so she still hopes that Erya's life will get better and better.
"Oh, there's another car in the village. I wonder who it's looking for?"
"Who else can I find? It must be Uncle Chen. Can anyone tell me which of our families has such a distinguished relative?"
A car came into the village, and the villagers became curious again, and they kept talking while working.
"What are you thinking? We have such a prestigious relative. Who do you think that car is looking for?"
"How do you know who you're looking for? Aren't you looking for Uncle Chen? Hurry up and tell me who you're looking for this time?"
The woman who knew the news was extremely proud. She looked at herself and realized she was the most informed person. "They are here to see Gao Zhiqing and Cen Zhiqing."
"Ah! That's not right. I remember the car that always came to visit Gao Zhiqing didn't look like this?"
The villagers are not used to cars, but because cars used to come from time to time, they are no longer so curious. In short, they are not curious enough to run after the cars to watch.
"Yes, I don't remember it looking like this either."
"It's really different. I just thought it looked different, so I followed it over to take a look. There was a man sitting in the car. Wow, his aura was intimidating. He must be the boss."
What the woman didn't say was that she always felt that the leader looked familiar, as if she had seen a similar face somewhere.
If she told everyone about it, they would definitely laugh at her. After all, the farthest she had ever been was the county town, and she had never seen such an extraordinary person.
"Really? I was saying that Gao Zhiqing and Cen Zhiqing's families must be extraordinary, otherwise why would there always be people driving cars to visit them?"
