"Just relying on your monthly salary of twenty-seven?"
It's not that he looks down on his younger sister. Considering the food level of her younger sister, her salary is just barely enough. But he can't just eat and not buy anything else, right?
"What do you know? When I'm able to get into university, I'll go and become a university student, and then I'll be a freelancer. My dream is to travel all over the beautiful land of my country."
Besides, she has a lot of secret stashes, but that is not a secret she can keep to herself, and she can’t tell anyone, no matter how close they are to her.
"Haha, it's a good idea, but it's definitely not going to work for now. Even after the college entrance exams are reinstated, it won't be suitable. Do you think public security will be that good by then? Your ideal won't be realized in a short time."
"I'm not in a hurry. My biggest wish in this life is to live to a ripe old age. I've calculated that I can live to be 70 or 80 years old. I still have a lot of time left."
Chen Ye was not in a hurry at all. Life is long or short, so why not just strive to live longer? It's just a wish, but who says that a wish must come true?
"Okay, you're still young. It's not too late to change your mind later."
It is impossible to change. She has no idea of letting others share her life. Her relatives can't do anything about it, but it's unnecessary for her to find someone to share her life with and make herself feel upset.
Anyway, she has never seen a couple living a happy and loving life since she was a child. She is not interested in such people. She would rather live a free and easy life alone.
…
Chen Ye and Cen Zixiang carried back a lot of bags. They carried more on their way back than when they left. Fortunately, they were both very strong, otherwise they would not be able to carry so many things back.
After finally getting home, Gao Fei heard a knock on the door and quickly came out to open it: "You two are back pretty quickly. Hurry up, give me Ye Zi's things and I'll take them in."
When Chen Ye heard Gao Fei's nonsense, he knew that the people at home had not left yet, and it seemed that the matter was not over yet.
Chen Ye couldn't just hide away, so he went to the room connected to the kitchen and saw four or five people sitting on the kang. They looked lazy, but their eyes were full of energy. These soldiers were different from ordinary people.
Gao Yuan introduced a few people with a smile. These people had followed him before and were his confidants. Chen Ye greeted them one by one and wanted to go to the cellar to put things away.
Gao Fei took the things and gave Chen Ye a look. Chen Ye understood that there were only these few people in the open, and there should be other people in the cellar. After saying hello to a few people, Chen Ye returned to the house where he lived.
When Cen Zixiang came over with a basin of hot water, he saw his little sister didn't sit down to rest. She was stroking her chin and walking around the room. "What are you looking at?"
"I'm thinking about building a bathroom right here in this room. That way I don't have to go to the kitchen to wash up."
"I just don't know if there's a sewer pipe here. Otherwise, even if we build a toilet, it'll still be a problem."
"I really need to find out more about this. Speaking of which, it's not easy to waterproof the bathroom after you build it, right?"
"That's not difficult. As long as there's a drain, it can be done. But I wonder if tiles are easy to buy?"
"Don't worry, this won't be done in a day or two. Wait for Fourth Brother to find out for you first."
Chen Ye nodded. Fourth Brother was right. Even if there was water, it would be impossible to dig in this weather. "Okay, I'll make a partition first. Even if it can't be used as a bathroom, it won't stop me from making a sink."
If she couldn't buy a washbasin, she would go home and make a ceramic one herself. She could also apply some clear oil on it to make it waterproof. However, even if it was finished, it couldn't be used now. She had to wait until spring and connect a sewer pipe to it outside, otherwise there would be no way to drain the water.
Cen Zixiang shook his head after hearing this: "You're idle again, looking for work for yourself?"
"Haha, that's true. I was just wondering what to do to pass the time when I get back. Now here I am. When the weather gets warmer, I'll tidy up the yard. Now I have something to do."
"You, everyone wants to lie down every day when they have free time, but you feel uncomfortable all over when you don't move. Come here quickly and wash your hands and face."
"What do you want to eat? Fourth Brother will go out and buy it for you later."
Chen Ye shook her head: "We have everything at home, why should we spend money to eat out?" Shuanzhu often cooked and kept dishes for her, which she could eat for most of half a month.
"But we can have it tomorrow morning. I want to have fried dough sticks and soy milk, is that okay?"
After eating fried dough sticks and soy milk at Dashuang's house for the first time, she has been thinking about it ever since. The only advantage of coming to the city is that she can eat this kind of thing often. As long as the state-owned restaurant makes it, she can buy it.
"I'm going to Da Shuang's house after dinner. Do you want to go?" She had been to Da Shuang's house once before the New Year to deliver New Year's goods in advance, but she hadn't gone to pay New Year's greetings after the New Year.
"Go, I just happened to have something to ask Da Shuang."
Thinking about so many people at home who needed to eat, she knew what Cen Zixiang wanted to ask, but it would be better to ask Dashuang about this, after all, Dashuang knew this place very well.
After the New Year, life seemed to return to its usual routine, but the only difference was that there were several unfamiliar people in the house. Now, after get off work every day, she could only move around in her own room.
"Ye Zi, go to bed early at night and lock the door. Don't come out if you hear any noise." After Cen Zixiang came, he didn't go back for a while. He picked up Chen Ye from get off work every day and came alone to eat with Chen Ye.
After all, there are a lot of grown men in the room, and it won’t do without his brother Cen Zixiang.
Chen Ye stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and looked at Cen Zixiang. Seeing Cen Zixiang's serious expression, he knew that action might be taken tonight, so he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be ready for bed in a minute."
Chen Ye's eyes rolled. "Fourth brother, can I ask you something?"
Seeing his younger sister becoming more and more lively, Cen Zixiang was still very happy: "Talk about it, let's make a deal. Forget about borrowing money. I, your fourth brother, am a pauper."
"You're quite glorious, huh?"
"Don't worry, I won't borrow money from you. You don't have any money, but you still spend lavishly on buying things for me. Can't you be a little more frugal?"
"That won't work. My mom and grandma gave me that money to buy you delicious food."
"Okay, I don't need anything. You can spend some on yourself in the future."
Cen Zixiang smiled and wanted to rub his little sister's hair, but Chen Ye quickly dodged and rolled her eyes: "If you touch my head again, I will be angry with you."
"Fourth brother, can you tell me how much I paid for this house?"
"Why are you asking this?" Cen Zixiang looked alert. Wasn't this guy going to return the money for buying a house to his third uncle?
