Chen Ye tried hard to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out in his throat before he started to speak.
"How could you, little brat, think of me like that? I was just trying to encourage you. What if, what if you try your best and get a perfect score?"
Since you are the type who wants to give up as soon as you can't learn, I have to dangle a carrot in front of you.
Shuanzhu scratched his head hard and frowned slightly. Why did he feel that this was not the case?
Chen Ye didn't let him think too much. He wasn't very smart anyway. What if the computer crashed and gave him trouble?
"Hurry up and make something delicious tonight to celebrate Shuanzhu's official becoming a glorious elementary school student."
Sure enough, Shuanzhu immediately stopped worrying and started to order food: "Sister, the cold noodles you made last time were so delicious. Can we have that today?"
"And that cold rabbit, it's spicy and numbing, perfect with rice. Oh, and those pickled spicy radish cubes you made. Can you add a boiled egg to that?"
"You're quite a good eater?" Chen Ye curled his lips. This brat is a better eater than him.
"Hehe, hehe, it's not that my sister is amazing, she can cook delicious food that others can't."
"I've asked around, but Huzi and the others have never eaten these things. Every time I mention them, they start drooling."
Chen Ye...you are such a jerk!
"I'll go up the mountain later to see what we've harvested today. If it's a lot, I'll call your friends over to eat together. What do you think?"
"Ah! Is that enough noodles?" What should I do if I am reluctant to leave?
"That's enough. Are you going home with me, or going to play with your friends?"
"I'll go home with you, and I can help you wash the vegetables and light the fire."
After this meal, Shuanzhu instantly became the leader of the six-person group. The five children all returned home with big bellies.
Today's meals were cleaned up by six little kids. Chen Ye sat in the yard and talked to his grandfather.
"Have you thought it through?"
Chen Ye nodded. "That environment is too depressing and not suitable for studying. It's better for me to study at home. I can also work at the same time."
"I live alone. I don't have to work all day and still have food to eat. It's okay for a short time, but if it goes on for a long time, people will definitely complain."
Don’t think that Chen Ye is exaggerating. Many people are like this. When you are worse off than her, she will feel sympathy and pity for you, and may even help you.
But if you go from being a poor little person to having a life that's better than what they think it is, that will make those people feel unbalanced, and they may even assume the greatest malice towards you.
Chen Shengli puffed his welding smoke and said, "Alright, let's make a deal. No matter what, we can't abandon our studies. People with knowledge always have more opportunities than those without."
"Grandpa hopes that you and Shuanzhu can go out into the world in the future, instead of wasting time in the countryside, living a life with no end in sight."
"I know, I will study hard."
"Okay, it's getting dark, you should go back and rest early."
Chen Ye moved his mouth and said it anyway. After all, his grandfather was Chen Laoer's uncle, and he had to know the news about Chen Laoer.
"There's one more thing. Something happened at Chen Ersheng's home, but he took his three children with him to look for his eldest brother."
Chen Shengli sorted things out and finally understood who the Chen Ersheng Ye Zi was talking about. Isn't Chen Ersheng's elder brother the same biological father as Ye Zi, who is no different from having one?
It’s kind of funny to think about it. Chen Jiefang, Chen Jiefang, tell me, why are you such a failure as a father? Now your child won’t even call you dad.
"Tell me what happened specifically." He hadn't been to the county town for a while and really didn't know anything about Chen Laoer's affairs. Mainly because he didn't like to bother with the people from the first house.
Chen Ye told the story briefly, but did not mention the contribution he had made.
Chen Shengli exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke after a long while: "That's good, the two brothers can look after each other if they are together."
Ye Zi didn't say anything and didn't ask any more questions. He didn't believe that the little girl had no hand in this. But who could he blame? It was the eldest wife's family who had gone too far.
Not to mention that he didn't have a good impression of the two brothers. They hardly ever got along with each other. Blood ties didn't work for him. Bad character just didn't work. Don't think he could turn a blind eye just because they were relatives.
Chen Ye stammered a few times, but still didn't say that she was not Chen Jiefang's biological child. Her little grandfather was a rare source of warmth for her, and she didn't want to lose her only relative for the time being.
"Then I'll go back first."
Chen Shengli nodded: "If you have anything to say tonight, just shout loudly."
How powerful can a little girl be? It's still unsafe for her to live at the foot of the mountain. Why not put some broken glass on Ye Zi's wall?
As soon as students start school, time seems to pass faster, and the crops in the fields gradually transform from green to golden.
Each of the rice ears hung its head, as if it could not bear the heavy load, and asked people to help it get rid of it quickly.
Children in rural areas have holidays during the busy farming seasons of spring plowing and autumn harvest, and this year is no exception. Chen Ye felt drowsy listening to the team leader's repetitive encouragement.
It has been a long time since she picked up a book to read seriously. Now that everything at home has been tidy, she has a lot more time to read.
She loves reading and often doesn't pay attention to time when she is reading. Yesterday, she kept reading with an oil lamp until almost ten o'clock. If the oil lamp hadn't been so irritating to her eyes, she could have read all night.
She slept late and felt tired in the morning. Add to that the same old clichés that hadn't changed in more than a decade and they almost hypnotized her to sleep.
"Sister, sister, it's over." Shanzhuo pulled his sister hard. His sister was really amazing. She could even fall asleep while standing.
Chen Ye opened her eyes and subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, she didn't have the habit of drooling while sleeping, otherwise she would be in big trouble today.
"Ye Zi, let's sit next to each other." The second girl squeezed over, followed by their two younger sisters and one younger brother.
"Okay, how about you give me a sister and we each take care of two?"
The second girl glanced at her two younger sisters. Her two younger sisters were only one year apart in age and looked about the same height. "Okay, you pick one."
Chen Ye... this is your own sister, can you stop talking to her like you're picking on a puppy?
Chen Ye looked at the third and fourth girls: "Third girl, fourth girl, who of you wants to be in a group with me?"
The third and fourth girls are even more dull than the second girl. You rarely hear them say a word all day long. When the two little girls look at each other, there is light in their eyes. They both like Ye Zi and want to work with Ye Zi.
But in the end, the third girl compromised and gave way to her younger sister, because she was the older sister. The fourth girl smiled shyly and said nothing, and stood directly behind Chen Ye.
