"Youchen! You see! If Ningning had half of your merits, it would be worth it for me to die right now."
Shumei lamented again, feeling disappointed with her friends.
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with such an outstanding Xiao Youchen, Xiao Shuangning seems even more inferior.
"Mom, don't say that. Ningning is so much better than other children. Look at Ningning, she always gets first place in the exams every semester. Is there any other child in the village that talented? Look at Ningning, isn't she always helping..."
"Okay, Youchen, stop talking. Ningning is my flesh and blood. I know her better than you do. Let's stop talking and eat."
Xiao Youchen shut up, and the two of them chatted and laughed while eating breakfast together.
As Xiao Youchen ate his breakfast, he said, "Mom, since I don't have school today, I want to go for a walk after breakfast to see if I can find a way to solve the stench in the chicken coop."
"I've visited chicken farms in town and have seen that they dig tunnels to bury the chicken droppings underground. They also use plenty of water to clean the chicken coops, which helps eliminate the odor."
"This method is feasible, but it still doesn't seem to completely solve the odor problem. Look, the villagers keep coming to my house to make trouble. I have to think of a good solution."
"Okay, since you want to, then go ahead and give it a try! Anyway, you're the top contributor to this chicken farm, and you're half the boss. If you want to do it, just go for it. Mom believes that there's nothing Xiao Youchen can't do."
"Yeah! Thank you, Mom!"
When Xiao Youchen heard Shumei's agreement, he was so happy that he wolfed down his breakfast.
After breakfast, Xiao Youchen started looking for plants that could cover up the odor. He asked the elders, went to other chicken farms for advice, and went to the school library to look up information.
He went out in the morning and was busy until the afternoon before returning to the village.
When he came back, Shumei was still busy cleaning up chicken poop in the chicken coop.
"Mom, I'm back."
As soon as he saw Shumei, he greeted her with a smile and went into the chicken coop with a smile.
"You're the same. Once you start being busy, you never stop. You don't even come home for lunch, and you make mom worry for a long time."
"Mom, I'm already this old, what do you have to worry about? Are you afraid that a scammer will kidnap me? Even if a scammer wants to kidnap someone as old as us, he won't be able to support the family if he takes us back! Hehe! What are you doing?"
Xiao Youchen said this jokingly as he walked towards Shumei.
"You! You're still so smooth-talking. Are you hungry? I've left some food in the pot for you. I'm all dirty, so I won't heat it up for you. You should heat it up yourself. I'll finish here and then go back to make dinner."
"Mom, you don't have to worry about me. How about I help you?"
As Xiao Youchen said this, he was about to get a shovel to shovel the chicken manure.
"No, no, no, that's all. I'll take care of it right away. Ningning has been locked up at home all day. Go check on her!"
"Is that so?" Xiao Youchen's stomach growled uncontrollably. "It seems I'm really hungry. I'll go back and eat something. I'll share my achievements with you in the evening."
Little Youchen looked mysterious and said while patting the schoolbag hanging in front of him.
Shumei nodded, and little Youchen bounded off towards home. It was clear he'd gained quite a bit today.
But Xiao Shuangning stayed at home and watched TV all day until Xiao Youchen came back and forced her to turn off the TV.
"Brother, what are you doing? This is the exciting part! Xiaoyanzi is about to be exposed, please get out of the way! Hurry up! Brother, please get out of the way! Xiaoyanzi is going to die... It's a matter of life and death! Brother, please get out of the way!"
Xiao Shuangning was so anxious that she went crazy and tried her best to grab and hit Xiao Youchen.
Little Youchen stood in front of the TV like a giant, playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" with little Shuangning, and was unwilling to move away.
"Human life is at stake? Is Xiaoyanzi your relative or friend? Or a classmate or teacher?"
Xiao Youchen questioned Xiao Shuangning in a serious tone.
"No! She's my idol. She's so beautiful and cute. I love her so much. I really want to be like her. When I grow up, I must be an actor, as good as her. And the Fifth Prince, he's so handsome..."
When Xiao Shuangning said these words, her expression was extremely intoxicated, her hands clasped together, her eyes closed, as if she was possessed.
Xiao Youchen slapped her on the forehead, waking her from her daydream. "Daydreaming again! Even if she's dead, it has nothing to do with you. You should take care of yourself! Tomorrow is Monday. Are you sure you've finished your homework?"
Xiao Shuangning suddenly opened her eyes, screamed, and quickly dug out her schoolbag to finish her homework.
Xiao Youchen couldn't help laughing when he saw her at a loss.
"You! If your teachers and classmates saw you like this, they would never believe you were a model student even if they beat you to death."
Xiao Youchen brought a low stool and sat next to Xiao Shuangning. He supervised her doing her homework and spoke with a half-smile.
"What's wrong with me?"
"It's nothing like him."
"You... Humph! I am a three-good student, absolutely. And a top-notch three-good student, no need to look like one."
Xiao Youchen's favorite thing about Xiao Shuangning is her positive attitude. She's always had a positive attitude, rarely dwelling on trivial matters, and always able to recover quickly. Consequently, over the years, it's rare to see Xiao Shuangning cry; most of the time, she smiles brighter than a sunflower.
"Yes, yes, you're a top-notch student. Stop bragging and boasting, okay? If you don't finish your homework, you'll be punished at school tomorrow. How will you put your reputation aside as a top-notch student?"
