Shen Yan returned to his room, sat down, and picked up his pen again to study. This time, he was fully focused, and his problem-solving speed and thought process were very clear.
He didn't put down his pen again until Chen Le returned. He finished all his homework in one afternoon, and when he checked his schoolbag, he realized that he had forgotten to take the extra practice questions he had bought.
"Shen Yan, Chen Yu, are you upstairs?"
Chen Le's voice interrupted his thoughts, "Yes, Uncle." He quickly responded to Chen Le.
"What are you two always doing hiding upstairs? Come down and watch some TV."
Shen Yan didn't know how to answer Chen Le. He didn't like watching TV in the first place; only Chen Yu would watch it. Chen Le waited for a long time but didn't hear Shen Yan's voice, so he simply went upstairs to see what the two kids were doing. "What are you doing standing at the door? Where's Chen Yu?"
"have no idea."
Hearing Shen Yan's reply, Chen Le looked at Shen Yan in confusion. Had the two quarreled again? "Chen Yu!" Chen Le shouted at Chen Yu's door, and without waiting for her to answer, he opened the door and went in.
Chen Yu was woken up and looked at Chen Le with some annoyance. "What?" she asked in a bad tone.
"Are you serious? It's so late and you're still sleeping. Are you even going to sleep tonight?"
Chen Le pulled Chen Yu up, which startled Chen Yu. Didn't her uncle care about appearances at all? "What are you doing? I can get up myself. Don't pull me!" Her expression became very irritable. Chen Le was also a little afraid that Chen Yu would get angry, so he decisively let go.
"Get out, I need to change my clothes."
"Alright, alright, you don't have to get up. Your uncle will go downstairs and get you something to eat."
Chen Le fled Chen Yu's room as if his life depended on it. Shen Yan stood by and watched the scene. After Chen Le left, he returned to his own room. Chen Yu sat on the bed with a displeased expression. She hated being woken up when she was sleeping, especially since Chen Le had woken her up for no reason.
She changed out of her pajamas and went downstairs. Chen Le hummed a song as she prepared dinner in the kitchen. Chen Yu sat down on the sofa, poured herself a glass of water, and picked up the remote to turn on the TV. The TV was showing the latest news, all about school bullying. She frowned and changed the channel.
The next channel was showing a variety show, and Chen Yu stopped there contentedly. Halfway through, Chen Yan came down. His first thought was that Chen Yu was watching this kind of thing again, and that she should use this time to read more books.
"Come and eat! Today's dishes are very plentiful! A seafood medley!"
"They're here."
Chen Yu jumped up from the sofa. She hadn't had seafood in a long time, and Chen Le really went out of his way to cook for the two of them.
"There's no rice today, so eat lots of seafood and make sure you're full."
"So verbose!"
Chen Yu stuck her tongue out at Chen Le, put on gloves, picked up a hairy crab, opened the shell and smelled the aroma, "Uncle, where did you buy this? There's so much roe."
"A lot, I brought a few back from the farm next door that my relative raises."
Chen Yu took her first bite and nodded in satisfaction. Although it wasn't the right season, the taste was still excellent.
Shen Yan wasn't particularly interested in these things, but Chen Yu loved to eat them, so her father would occasionally buy them, and Shen Yan would eat some too. During the meal, Chen Yu was the only one who ate the most, and she walked out the door patting her round belly.
"Chen Yu! Don't wander around like that, just stay near the entrance."
"Okay, I understand."
Although Chen Yu verbally agreed, she continued walking forward. She came to the edge of the sheepfold and looked around. She hadn't seen Chen Le's puppy for a long time.
After searching around without finding it, Chen Yu lay on the clean lawn, comfortably squinting her eyes. Having lived in the big city for too long, it was so peaceful to spend some time in the countryside. Her thoughts began to drift away, and she returned to the age when she was a corporate slave.
"Chen Yu, do you even have a brain? How could you make a mistake on such a simple proofreading?"
"Manager... I had a cold and fever yesterday, and I was dizzy, so I might not have seen clearly."
"Don't give me excuses, get out and proofread it again."
The manager slammed the documents onto the desk with a loud bang, which everyone outside the office heard. Chen Yu tidied up the scattered documents, carried them out of the office, and returned to her seat with a sigh. Xiao Wen from next door came over and asked, "Got scolded again?"
Chen Yu nodded helplessly, "Sigh, this is really too much of a mental challenge."
"It's okay. The manager might be in a bad mood lately. Don't take it to heart. She's got enough of her own family troubles to worry about."
"Mmm, I'm fine, Xiaowen. Go to work now."
Chen Yu quickly adjusted her mindset and began to proofread seriously. She really should reflect on herself and why she couldn't even do such a simple thing well.
That concludes the recollection.
After washing the dishes, Chen Le went out the door. He searched for a while before he finally saw Chen Yu lying on the lawn. Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he was still worried. He went back into the house and said, "Chen Yan, keep an eye on Chen Yu. I have to go next door to help out."
"Okay, Uncle, you can go ahead and get back to work."
Chen Le put on his coat, grabbed his car keys, and headed out, but then turned back halfway. "I'm not sure if I'll be able to come back. You might have to cook a meal, Xiao Shen Yan."
"I can do it, Uncle. I can make all the dishes that Chen Yu likes to eat."
"You're so sensible."
Chen Le patted Shen Yan's head. He hadn't seen Shen Yan for only half a year, and the boy was almost as tall as him. Shen Yan was a little uncomfortable and subconsciously dodged Chen Le's hand, which made Chen Le a little embarrassed. He withdrew his hand, touched his head, and hurriedly ran out.
