Hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, Ye Tianya said happily: "Then won't you go to work every day from now on? Or will you go to the factory every other day?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and replied, "It depends on the situation. If you have something to do, then don't go. When you don't have anything to do, you can go back to work. Master didn't make any rules about this, so it's okay."
"Eat, eat. Eat first and then chat. The food will get cold soon."
After finishing his meal, Ye Zhiqiu went to take a shower. When he came out and returned to the living room, he heard Ye Tianya bragging about what happened today.
"In the countryside, we all used to do food protection campaigns, beating drums and gongs to scare away birds. I didn't expect them to bring such good nets to catch birds, and all kinds of baskets that could be used as traps!"
Ye Zhiqiu sat down and said with a smile, "Dad, you're bragging again. Weren't you digging mud to fill the pit today? How did you end up catching sparrows?"
Ye Tianya explained: "No, I was telling your grandfather about how others came back and told us how to catch birds. I wasn't bragging."
There are so many ways to catch sparrows! People all over the country have come up with all kinds of traps.
Wang Fugui sighed and said, "As far as I know, sparrows eat insects. They only eat grains when they grow up. Listing them as one of the four pests is a bit biased."
"Well, we can't control so many of these things. We just have to do whatever the higher-ups arrange."
"That's right, these things are not something we can worry about."
After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaolan walked in and said to them, "The water is hot, Godfather, go take a shower quickly! Old Ye, go get some water, the second one is already out, I'll wash the clothes first."
The two agreed and walked outside. Ye Zhiqiu looked at Ye Bailu, who was practicing writing with a pen but nodding her head sleepily, and called out in amusement, "Little sister, little sister, why are you sleepy so early?"
Ye Bailu woke up and yawned as she replied, "Brother, I'm so sleepy... but I haven't washed yet..."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "If you are really too sleepy, go and ask your mother to give you a bath and go to bed early!"
Ye Bailu said with a smile: "But grandpa asked me to write a full page of words. Grandpa said that as long as I finish it, he will buy me malt sugar tomorrow.
Hehe, why don't you help me write it? I'll give you a bite tomorrow. How about the maltose that grandpa gave me as a reward? "
Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. He didn't know where this little girl learned this from. She actually bribed people to cheat!
Ye Wubing walked in at this time and said angrily, "Brother, don't believe what my little sister said! Yesterday she also asked me to help her write, and grandpa would give me half of the soda as a reward.
She ended up going to the department store with her grandfather, finishing the drink there, and returning the bottle before returning. My little sister is such a dishonest person!"
Ye Zhiqiu's face darkened. He calmly asked, "Second Brother, how long has it been since I last hit you? You actually dared to help my younger sister cheat? Are you itching for trouble?"
Ye Wubing shrank his neck, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Hehe, how could I do that! It was my little sister who forced me to do it. She said that if I didn't help her write, she would cry and even tell grandpa that I bullied her..."
These two guys are so troublesome that Ye Zhiqiu just feels a headache!
Ye Bailu ran out secretly. Ye Zhiqiu looked at the girl's sneaky figure and could only pretend not to see it.
I don’t know what grandpa taught her, but how come the girl who was so confused before can now lie and threaten people!
Ye Wubing came over, showing a flattering smile, and asked with his hands clasped together, "Brother, can you give me 80 cents to buy a hard cover diary?
All my close friends have diaries like this. I asked my mom for money, but she wouldn't give me any. She insisted I use my exercise book as a diary, but that would be so embarrassing in front of my classmates..."
Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and decided to give him the money. Wang Xiaolan didn't give it to him out of frugality, thinking it was unnecessary.
But when Ye Zhiqiu was a child, he also envied others for having good stationery, but he had nothing, so he could naturally understand Ye Wubing's thoughts.
"Buy it and bring it back to me tomorrow to show me. If you spend this money on other things, don't even think about asking me for a penny from you in the future."
Ye Wubing, who took the money, smiled happily. After hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, he quickly raised his hand and swore, "No, I swear! I just want to be like my classmates. I definitely didn't cheat you out of your money, big brother."
If I waste money recklessly, big brother, you can hit me with a feather duster without dodging!"
"Come on, as long as it's not wasted."
Although the second brother is not very reliable, he has never cheated people out of money or wasted it.
In fact, Wang Xiaolan would also give him pocket money, but it was always given in small amounts, and she would give him a few cents a month.
But he was reluctant to buy snacks, and always saved up money to buy picture books, so he had several picture books.
Ye Zhiqiu lit a cigarette and asked Ye Wubing, who was practicing calligraphy, "Second Brother, you used to be at the top of your class, but now that you're in the city, where do you rank?"
Ye Wubing replied with a bitter face: "Brother, there are 47 people in our class, and I can only rank in the top 20. I haven't learned many of the math problems the teacher gave me, and now I have to ask my classmates to teach me."
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Then you can ask grandpa to teach you. We have it ready at home, so why not let grandpa give you some extra lessons?"
Ye Wubing became even more depressed. He said with a bitter face, "I can't teach you. Grandpa taught me how to solve the problem, and the answer was correct. But when the teacher corrected my homework, he said that my answer steps were wrong, marked them all with crosses, and accused me of copying the answers!"
Every time I brought my homework home and asked my grandpa what was wrong, he would get so angry that he would curse and say that there was nothing wrong with his answer steps. But the teacher didn't agree with this, and there was nothing I could do!
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "That should be Grandpa's problem. He teaches college students. The advanced mathematics and your basic mathematics are completely different.
From Grandpa's perspective, he's definitely not wrong. From your teacher's perspective, he's not wrong either. You'd better not ask Grandpa for extra lessons. Just study according to the teacher's method first!"
"So when I don't understand something, I don't dare to ask my grandfather. I always ask my classmates. That way, the teacher won't criticize me for copying the answers. I'd be so wronged..."
Ye Zhiqiu knew clearly that teachers at that time might not necessarily possess very advanced knowledge.
Because of literacy education, people who graduated from junior high school and those who graduated from high elementary school, which was called high elementary school at that time in the Republic of China, had the possibility of teaching in elementary school.
If the teacher is like this, if you let him look at Wang Fugui's solution, it might be like reading a book written in heaven, and he would naturally think that the second child is copying the answers.
After his hair was dry, Ye Zhiqiu had nothing to do, so he simply went back to his room to rest.
