But she knew that she was still far from her goal, so no matter when or where, whether walking or running, she tried her best to keep her strides about the same size.
As a result, even her mental strength increased significantly, which made her pay close attention to this at all times.
Just as they were about to reach the town, Wang Guangying suddenly and formally announced that she was going to university!
This startled Wang Guangjie, who looked at her in surprise. "Ying'er, are you serious?"
He could hardly believe it; his sister's grades weren't even as good as his, so how could she have such lofty ideals?
To be honest, he occasionally had such thoughts, but he would quickly dismiss them. The reason was simple: the college entrance rate was too low, and he lacked confidence.
He found it somewhat unbelievable that these two girls now had such lofty ambitions.
My sister knows perfectly well how low the chances of getting into a good university are, so why does she still want to go to college knowing the outcome?
Wang Guangying's eyes were shining as he nodded seriously, "Yes, brother, I've decided. I must try my best. Although the chances are low, I won't be satisfied if I don't give it a try."
Liu Shile immediately gave her a thumbs up. This girl is great, she has ambition. She made such a decision even though she knew the college entrance rate was extremely low. She's really good.
It's fortunate that no one else overheard their conversation; otherwise, people would probably laugh at them for their wishful thinking.
They are able to go to high school now because their ancestors were buried in good graves, and because the current government policies are good. Otherwise, someone like Liu Shile would never have been able to go to school.
Wang Guangjie was almost blinded by his sister's bright, sparkling eyes. In the end, he couldn't bear to discourage her. Fine, if she likes it, let her be.
We'll find out what she's made of eventually. It's not good to criticize her now; what if we upset her and made her cry?
After affirming his sister a few times, Wang Guangjie sighed inwardly, wondering if he should also think about what he should do in the future.
As soon as Liu Shile got home, she saw that the bunches of grapes that had been hanging on the vine had disappeared without a trace. Her adoptive mother, Zhang Sumei, frowned as soon as she saw her and said with dissatisfaction, "Your second brother hasn't come back again?"
"Well, the grain station is busy, so my second brother stayed behind to work. Mom, where's my eldest sister? Did she go to the mountains to cut grass again?" Liu Shile asked, not wanting to talk much about her second brother to her adoptive mother.
Zhang Sumei raised her eyelids and nodded. "Okay, I'm off to cut grass. Those cows are very picky. Go pick up your sister and come back. It's getting late."
She hadn't seen her child for a week and he had just returned. She wouldn't even give him a sip of water before ordering him around to do chores. Only Zhang Sumei would do something like that.
But Liu Shile was not willing to do as she wished, and said with a smile, "The weather is nice now, so I'm taking Dad out to cool off, and my little brother should also come out of the house to get some fresh air."
The courtyard of the farmhouse had a very high threshold. When Liu Shihua was at home, she would usually move her father outside to bask in the sun, which would also cheer him up.
Once he left, only his mother and eldest sister could move his father outside, but they were both very busy. As a result, Liu Weisong spent most of his time cooped up in the house.
Yes, just like him is his younger brother, who is still a baby. Since he got a wheelchair, the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother has basically fallen on his father. It's not easy for him either.
Zhang Sumei opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, only nodded, "Okay, your dad hasn't been out for some fresh air lately, it's good for him to come out and relax."
Liu Shile put down her schoolbag and went into her parents' room. She noticed that her father looked unwell, with a melancholy look in his eyes. When he saw her return, he forced a smile and greeted her.
Liu Shile was a little confused. Had something happened at home again?
However, she didn't ask, because she knew that her father wouldn't tell her anyway, so she might as well ask her older sister later.
"Lele, you're so strong?" Although Liu Weisong was feeling down, he was surprised to see the child easily carry him out of the house.
Isn't this child supposed to be physically weak? How come he's lifted himself up so easily now?
Liu Shile winked at her father and whispered, "Dad, my second brother helped me recover. Although I haven't fully recovered yet, I feel much better than before."
Thinking of the medicinal diet they had prepared, Liu Weisong thought he understood the situation, so he nodded and whispered, "Good, your second brother is good. I can rest assured now."
But when Liu Shile saw her baby brother, her brows furrowed deeply. The amount was wrong; it was much lighter than a week ago. "Dad, what's wrong with my brother?"
The baby is always frowning and looks unwell while sleeping. What could be the reason?
Upon hearing this, Liu Weisong's expression became somewhat unnatural. "It's nothing serious, he just can't eat much, so he looks a bit thin."
This isn't just a little skinny, it looks like a chick!
"Dad, Mom, this isn't right. My little brother has lost a lot of weight and can't eat. Did you take him to the doctor?" Liu Shile actually really liked the new life.
Zhang Sumei glanced at Liu Shile and the baby she was holding with disgust. "It's just that she can't eat. It's not a big deal. Why do you need to spend money to see a doctor?"
His tone was impatient, and his voice was very loud, which woke up the baby in Liu Shile's arms. The baby then started to cry.
Liu Shile frowned. Neither she nor the original owner had much experience taking care of children, so she really didn't know how to soothe a baby and was at a loss.
"Give Shi'an to me, he probably needs to pee." Liu Weisong was used to taking care of this child and could basically tell what he wanted to do.
Liu Shile breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed the person to her father, then stared in disbelief as her father skillfully had the child perform a quick, gentle massage.
Judging from Dad's appearance, he clearly cares about his younger brother. And with his older sister in the family, he shouldn't mistreat the child. So why has his younger brother turned out like this?
Seeing this, Zhang Sumei curled her lip. She was so worried about the child, how come she couldn't take care of him? Humph, that brat always knows how to cause trouble!
However, after the baby was relieved, he still whimpered and cried, but his cries were very weak, like a kitten's, sounding somewhat listless.
"Dad, is my little brother hungry? Is there anything in the house that he can eat?" Seeing the little boy crying like this, Liu Shile wasn't sure what he meant.
Liu Weisong sighed inwardly, nodded, glanced at Zhang Sumei, and looked somewhat helpless.
"You push me to the kitchen to cook him some rice porridge." He knew his wife didn't want to cook, and the things Lele cooked were inedible, so he had to cook them himself.
Sigh, Liu Shile, who never thought there was anything wrong with her terrible cooking skills, was actually a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she was thick-skinned and didn't show it at all.
She obediently pushed her dad to the kitchen, then helped carry the baby and tend the fire.
