Chapter 4 This is the condition at home
Her mother Yu Qing said, and gave Ye Nai some change as food money for the past few days, so that she would not forget about it.
She is not like other parents who are picky about their children and refuse to give them money. The main reason is that she works as an accountant. She raised her eldest daughter to be a cashier from an early age and developed the habit of spending money and keeping accounts. How much money has been taken, how much has been used, and how much money is left are all clearly recorded in the account book. The money can be checked at any time. Over the years, I can rest assured that I can put some money on my eldest daughter.
After Ye Nai accepted the money, her parents drove her home. Her younger siblings were about to get out of school and they couldn't leave the house alone.
Not long after returning home, her twin brother, who was in sixth grade, and her sister, who was in second grade, arrived home together. While they were queuing up to take a shower, Ye Nai prepared dinner for her little sister to come out from the shower.
"Ah, eldest sister, did you eat so well today?" The younger siblings gathered around the dinner table with surprised expressions on their faces.
"Are we the only ones having dinner today? Where are my parents?"
"Dad broke his leg while working on site today and is now in the hospital. Mom is with me in the hospital. Before you get home, I We just came back with food." Ye Nai opened the rice pot and served them food.
"Huh?! Did dad fall badly?" When the brothers and sisters heard this, they stopped taking jobs.
“It’s not very serious. The doctor said that I will be discharged after two days of observation and nothing will happen.”
"But both legs are broken. It sounds so serious."
"Since the doctor said this, the injury itself must not be serious. The trouble is that both legs are broken. I can only rest at home until the injury is healed. "When dad is discharged from the hospital, you should be good at home and don't touch dad's injured leg."
“Yeah, okay.”
“Let’s eat.”
Originally, Ye Nai bought ribs today, and bought more meat because of her father’s fracture. Today The dishes were rare and rich, just in time for the Chinese New Year feast. The three little ones ate with mouthfuls full of satisfaction.
After the meal, Ye Nai cleaned up the mess in the kitchen and threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine. The eldest brother wiped the dining table, and the three younger siblings did their homework here.
Ye Nai came out after cleaning up and was stopped by her younger siblings as she passed the dining table.
"Sister, you took the awakening test today, what was the result?"
"Not awakened." Ye Nai shrugged. She didn't have the awakening certificate, so of course she was not awakened. Ordinary people Just recognize that page.
“How many awakened people are there in your class?”
"3."
"So few?"
"Well, awakening depends on the probability, you can't force it."
"Will the eldest sister continue to study?"
“I won’t study anymore. My grades are not good enough to be admitted to a foreign university. Only the three top students in the class will continue to study, and 80% of the other students will not study. You guys study hard. , strive to have an undergraduate student in our family.”
The twin brothers, who were five years younger than Yenai, had different opinions on this and both shook their heads.
“We want to be awakened ones more, so majestic.” “Okay, I hope you two can become awakened ones.”
My sister, who has just entered the second grade of elementary school, hurriedly Raise your hands.
“I want to go to college.”
"Okay, study hard and get into college."
Ye Nai smiled and pinched her sister's cheek, then walked to the corner of the living room connected to the balcony. There was a folding wire bed with stacks of Holding three plastic storage boxes, she opened the top one, took a set of underwear and went to the toilet to take a shower.
You can tell whether women's living conditions are good or not by looking at the length of their hair. Ye Nai has women's men's hair. In summer, in order to better dissipate heat, the hair on the back of the head is shaved short like men's, instead of being cut short. , has the shortest hair among the three female relatives in the family, and is 1.7 meters tall. She has been recognized as a man from behind more than once.
The advantage of having short hair is that it saves water and shampoo. She finished washing her hair and body in a quarter of an hour. Ye Nai rubbed the underwear she had changed into and took the washed clothes from the washing machine. Balcony to dry.
As soon as they finished drying their clothes, they heard the key ring outside their door. The four children all turned their heads. Their mother, Yu Qing, was back.
The three little ones were jumping around their mother. Only Ye Nai took the things from her mother's hands, brought her clean clothes and urged her to take a bath, and then returned to the kitchen to clean the empty thermos bucket.
Every family is busy. There is no TV at home, and only her parents have mobile phones. As usual, Ye Nai borrowed her mother's mobile phone to check the weather forecast for the next few days.
Later later, the three younger siblings finished their homework one after another, washed their hands and faces, and prepared to go to bed.
The family has two bedrooms, parents and four children, two boys and two girls. The twin brothers who are about to graduate from elementary school live in a small bedroom of 6 square meters. There are two sets of small wardrobes with a bed and a table in it like a school dormitory. There is a little space for activities, but they don't like to do homework in the room. They always feel that the big dining table outside is more comfortable.
My second grade sister can only do her homework at the dining table because she has a small bed set up in her parents’ master bedroom. The room is a little over 10 square meters with two beds, one large and one small, and a large wardrobe. , only the walking aisle is left, and there is no room for an additional dressing table.
Ye Nai sleeps in the living room. There is a steel wire folding bed in the corner where the living room connects to the balcony. Beside the bed are four storage boxes, three large and one small, and a cardboard box for this semester's books. Next to it is her bed on the ground. Schoolbag, this is all her belongings including clothes for all seasons.
This is because when she grew up, the simple sofa always rolled to the floor when she slept on the bed. The dining table was originally a place where she and her sister did homework, but her brothers always liked to come and join in the fun. There are many reasons. , if you don’t understand something, you can always ask the elder sister.
The living room is connected to the balcony. There are no walls or curtains in the middle. The other end is connected to the kitchen and toilet. It is the largest area in the house. It can be handled in summer, but it is really cold in winter, and the cold wind keeps blowing from it. There was leakage through the cracks in the balcony window, and my feet were cold all night long.
Because she has slept in the living room for many years, Ye Nai goes to bed late and gets up early every day. What is lazy sleep? She has not enjoyed it since elementary school, because at that time, her parents were annoyed by their twin sons who slept with each other dishonestly and did not want to take care of their children anymore. They slept together, so they had separate beds and rooms, and the small bedroom that she originally had exclusively was given to her brothers.
Open the wire bed, go to her parents' bed to get her quilt, check the doors, windows, water and electricity, turn off the lights and go to sleep. Before falling asleep, I pray every day that I can move out and rent a house as soon as possible and live independently. I really have enough sleep in the living room. .
Early the next morning, Ye Nai got up at the usual time and made breakfast for the whole family. She still made easy-to-digest soup noodles for her father, and put them in a thermos bucket to send her mother out.
Take care of the younger brothers and sisters after they have breakfast and watch them go out to play with their classmates. Ye Nai then rushes to the market and buys several days of vegetables. When she comes back, she is busy making lunch and packing it in a lunch box. At the hospital, after my parents finished eating, they brought back the morning thermos bucket, washed it, and kept it for dinner.
Father Ye Yu's condition is stable, and the doctor has said that he will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. When the nurse came to deliver the medicine at noon, Ye Nai asked her about the places to buy second-hand wheelchairs around the hospital.
Her father will have to sit in a wheelchair for at least more than a month in this situation. It is not cost-effective to buy a brand new one. Buy a second-hand basic model and then sell it and put it aside when it is used up.
Her mother Yu Qing took over the job. Staying in the hospital was boring anyway, so Ye Nai left with peace of mind.
