Chen Xiaohui's face turned red with anger.
Ye Fan laughed out loud when he saw this.
Chen Xiaohui said angrily: "You two just bully me."
Dabao, who was lying on the bench, sat up and said, "Auntie, are you being unreasonable? You came to our house because you thought my mother was stingy, but my mother didn't say anything, just smiling, right?"
Erbao tugged at his brother's clothes: "Auntie has no one to teach her, so we don't have the same experience as her."
Chen Xiaohui stared at Erbao angrily: "What did you say?"
"As the guest does, the host does as he pleases!" Erbao doesn't express his opinions very often, unlike Dabao, who is constantly pouting, but it doesn't mean that Erbao is clumsy. Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye carefully observed that Er Bao was calmer than Dabao. Sometimes she seems more innocent than Dabao because she is a few years younger than Dabao and doesn't know as much as he does. Because Chen Xiaohui was beside Erbao, Erbao tilted his head and asked, "Didn't the person who stole you and raised you teach you?"
Chen Xiaohui was stunned.
Ye Fan was worried about being angry and cried, "Xiaohui, Erbao didn't mean to despise you."
Chen Xiaohui sneered: "I shouldn't have come!"
So what are you here for? Ye Fan wanted to say this: "Remember the day we were discussing filling out the application form last summer, I told Dabao and Erbao, you didn't grow up in the Ye family? They both thought that the Chen family had no discipline."
Dabao couldn't help asking: "Isn't it?"
Ye Fan nodded.
Erbao looked at Chen Xiaohui very confused and almost didn't say clearly, so I said it right.
Chen Xiaohui was speechless for a moment and wanted to beat Erbao's kid, but in front of Ye Fan, she really didn't dare to hit Ye Fan's baby. She could only persuade herself that children's words are unscrupulous, children's words are unscrupulous!
Chen Xiaohui asked: "Do you know that these words sound like swearing?"
Erbao shook his head: "Which sentence?"
Chen Xiaohui choked.
Geng Zhiqin smiled and answered for her: "Someone raises but no one teaches!"
Chen Xiaohui glared at her: "You still say?"
Geng Zhiqin: "If you dare to use this tone to choke Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping, neither of them would dare to ask you to go on a blind date in Shanghai."
Chen Xiaohui suddenly became speechless.
Ye Fan carried the fish and crabs to the kitchen.
Geng Zhiqin followed with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let me clean up."
Ye Fan shook his head: "Such a few things will be packed up in a while."
"Give it to me." Geng Zhiqin took away the fish and crabs. "Last year you cooked every day because I had to prepare for the exam. This year I have nothing to do but let you take care of me. When the third brother comes back, I will not be allowed to pack my luggage immediately. Besides, I should also learn to take care of these things. If I am assigned to Dongcheng after graduation, half a city away from home, I need to live in a school dormitory. I can’t eat steamed buns and noodles every day.”
Ye Fan gave her the trash can: "Throw the fish scales in there."
Geng Zhiqin looked at the trash can and saw rotten vegetable leaves inside: "Is this garbage still useful?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Go over to the public toilet, and the people cleaning the public toilet will take away the excrement."
Geng Zhiqin first brushed the crabs and poured the dirty water into the swill bucket. Then he cleaned the fish, removing the scales, gills and internal organs, leaving the fish maw, and then took them to the pressurized water well for washing.
After washing, Geng Zhiqin went back to the kitchen and asked Ye Fan how to cook. Ye Fan sat in front of the stove and instructed her to cut the fish into pieces and marinate them for later use, "How do you plan to eat the crabs?"
Geng Zhiqin missed the crab buns made by his sister-in-law very much, but he didn't dare to say anything. That time when her brother came back and learned that the crab meat was picked bit by bit by his sister-in-law, his expression would have made her get out if it hadn't been for her brother.
"How do you usually eat, sister-in-law?"
Ye Fan: "Different crabs have different ways of eating. Like river crabs, steaming is best. Like the one I bought today, you can cook it with noodles. How about braised fish or crab rice noodles for dinner?"
Geng Zhiqin likes rice noodles very much: "Then let's make rice noodles?"
Ye Fan: "The rice noodles are in the cupboard."
Geng Zhiqin opened the cupboard and found only a handful, less than a pound: "Are these enough?"
Ye Fan: "That's enough. Fry a few poached eggs, add some vegetables, and a piece of fish. I might not be able to finish it all."
Geng Zhiqin took five more eggs from the cabinet. Considering that hot water cooks noodles quickly, Geng Zhiqin cooked the fish first. After the fish was cooked, he put it in a steel pot on the stove to warm. Geng Zhiqin brushed the pot and fried eggs, heated the water, and added swimming crabs, noodles and vegetables.
Geng Zhiqin remembered and asked, "Sister-in-law, did I do nothing wrong?"
Ye Fan laughed and said, "You don't have to pay so much attention to what you eat at home, as long as it's cooked." Then he called outside to Dabao and Erbao to wash their hands.
Dabao saw Chen Xiaohui going to the kitchen: "You don't wash your hands? Mom, auntie doesn't care about hygiene."
Chen Xiaohui was so angry that she went out with him to press water: "I will never come to your house again."
Dabaoxin said, who welcomes you?
In the past, Dabao welcomed her very much, because when someone came to the house, mother had no time to stare at him and Erbao. However, Chen Xiaohui actually dared to dislike his mother. Dabao decided to hate her.
On the evening of the fifth day of the lunar month, Geng Zhiye came back, and Dabao took his father's arm and pulled him out.
Geng Zhiye was about to ask why Chen Xiaohui was here. Being dragged by his son and staggering, he could only go out first: "What are you doing?"
"Tell you something." Dabao waved to his father.
Geng Zhiye lowered his head: "It's best that something happened."
Dabao nodded, first whispering that Chen Xiaohui thought his mother only bought a fish and a few crabs the afternoon before yesterday, and then couldn't help but mutter: "I should have known better not to leave meat buns for my sister-in-law."
"What's wrong with the meat buns?" Geng Zhiye was confused. Is it fish or meat buns?
Dabao: "My mother made a lot of meat buns on New Year's Eve. Erbao and I left four for my sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, she came too, so my mother asked Erbao and I to give her one."
Geng Zhiye: "Only four?"
Dabao nodded: "Yes. I heated it up and ate it yesterday morning. If I had known that she and my sister-in-law would come the day before yesterday, I would have asked my mother to heat it up and eat it the day before yesterday."
Geng Zhiye touched his son's little head: "She will leave in a few days, don't worry about her."
"But she doesn't even know how to help her mother." Dabao frowned and said, "It wasn't like this last time."
Geng Zhiye: "Let me see what's wrong with her. Stop talking. Don't put your mother in trouble."
"Why is mom in trouble?" Dabao didn't understand.
Geng Zhiye: "She is your grandma's daughter. If you bully someone to tears, if your grandma knows about it later, will she suspect your mother of bullying her? For example, if you and your second baby quarrel, will my mother and I help you or will we help the second baby?"< br>
Dabao wanted to say something different, but Chen Xiaohui and Ye Fan were both grandma's daughters, so there was no difference. "Okay, okay, I listen to you."
Geng Zhiye happens to be back for dinner in the next week, so he might as well use this week to observe Chen Xiaohui.
A week later, it was time for Chen Xiaohui and Geng Zhiqin to go back. Geng Zhiye changed shifts with Political Commissar Liao and could still go home for dinner.
On the night of the 13th day of the first lunar month, Dabao and Erbao were asleep. Geng Zhiye closed the door and window and went to the bedroom to see Ye Fan knitting a sweater: "Mine?"
"It's yours every day!" Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him, "Erbao's sweater jacket. Put it on when it gets cold in the morning and evening, and you can take it off right away when it gets hot at noon."
Geng Zhiye took it away and put it on the bedside table: "We'll knit tomorrow. I haven't had much to do recently, so why stay up so late?"
"Is something wrong?" Ye Fan asked. Geng Zhiye nodded and took out the family planning supplies from the drawer. Ye Fan held his hand: "Let's talk first. Don't think about teasing me for a while."
Geng Zhiye threw it back: "Fanfan, do you want to go to college?"
Ye Fan touched his head and said, "Who said anything?"
"No one said anything. I just thought that Chen Xiaohui, a virtuous person, could be admitted to the National People's Congress, and my Ye Fanfan would definitely be able to go to Beijing University if he wanted to."
Ye Fan sighed helplessly: "Why are you arguing with her? She didn't offend you."
Geng Zhiye suspected that Chen Xiaohui dared to accuse Ye Fan of buying only one fish and a few crabs, because he thought that he was different from the past and worthy of hospitality. Maybe Chen Xiaohui didn't realize it, but she was indeed more comfortable this time than last time, and she seemed more confident and calm.
He and Ye Fan have not changed. The only change for Chen Xiaohui is to go to college. "It's not about competing with her. I will leave Hengshan Island sooner or later. If you can go back to the headquarters, you can find a job in the city to pass the time. In case I am transferred to the border. Online, you and Dabao and Erbao have to go back to the capital. Dabao goes to middle school and Erbao goes to elementary school. Your mother and Aunt Yu can pick them up. Why are you working as a temporary worker? "
Ye Fan: "So you thought of letting me go to college after seeing Chen Xiaohui go to college?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Spend two months to review English and mathematics, and the remaining time to memorize Chinese, politics, history and geography."
"But it's too late." Ye Fan couldn't help but frown.
It wasn't that Ye Fan didn't want to go to college, except that she didn't think it was necessary. Secondly, Geng Zhiye suddenly said this, and she was unprepared, so she was a little irritated.
Geng Zhiye was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Accountant Ye, Ye Fanfan, how dare you think about it. It's less than half a year before this year's college entrance examination, and you're rushing to review and want to go to Beijing University? I said next year!"
"Ah?" He said this, and Ye Fan felt comfortable, "I'll have time next year."
Geng Zhiye: "I'm not stupid. How busy will you be to take the college entrance examination this year?"
"Then let me try?" Ye Fan didn't want to trouble her family to help her arrange work. But as Geng Zhiye said, Dabao and Erbao won't need her to pick them up in two years, and she doesn't want to work as Yang Bailao in an unfamiliar department. She really has nothing to do at home.
Geng Zhiye: "Will you ask Xiaoqin to send the book later?"
Ye Fan: "No. People on the island who want to take college entrance examinations plan to go to high school in the city in autumn - now every household can afford it. No one is using Su Yuanhang's book, I want to come over and take a look first. If I go to Qiu to print new books For textbooks, I asked students who went to high school on the island to help me buy a set.”
"Let's use the stove to cook from now on."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous. When you are tired from reading, you go out to pick up some firewood to refresh your mind. Xiaoqin was studying for the exam at our house before, didn't you also remind me to ask her to cook?"
"Don't tell your mother yet. Otherwise, I'll come here with big and small bags to serve you." Geng Zhiye was guarding against Chen Xiaohui.
Chen Xiaohui seemed to have no brains. Because of this, Geng Zhiye was afraid that her good intentions would ruin Ye Fan's affairs.
Ye Fan was speechless: "Is it necessary to dislike your mother-in-law so much?"
"Who says I dislike her? I'm afraid of tiring her."
Ye Fan turned to him: "Do you think I believe it?"
Geng Zhiye hugged her head and kissed her on the lips: "What do you think?"
Ye Fan pushed him away and pulled up the quilt: "Sleep."
Although Geng Zhiqin helps Ye Fan cook and wash clothes with her these days, after all, there are two more people in the house, and Ye Fan will definitely not be able to do whatever he wants.
Considering that Ye Fan was not tired physically and mentally, Geng Zhiye turned off the light and did not put his arms around anyone, fearing that she would not be able to sleep and would be uncomfortable.
Ye Fan slept until dawn and woke up feeling relaxed physically and mentally.
After breakfast, Ye Fan went to the vegetable market and called the supply and marketing cooperative and asked someone from the supply and marketing cooperative to find Su Yuanhang.
Before Su Yuanhang went to school, he received a call from Ye Fan asking for high school textbooks and rode over to deliver them. Su Yuanhang was fast and it was only about ten o'clock when he arrived at Ye Fan's house.
Ye Fan was in the living room checking the winter vacation homework of Dabao and Erbao. After making sure that there was no problem, he let them play. Dabao and Erbao happened to meet Su Yuanhang when they arrived in the courtyard.
The brother and sister looked at each other and thought something must be wrong with Su Yuanhang's sudden arrival, so they decided to find out what was going on. It has nothing to do with the children, it's not too late for them to go out.
When Dabao and Erbao came to the house and heard their mother say that Tiantian was fine at home, they borrowed it to study to strengthen their studies, so they curled their lips and ran out.
The brother and sister believed this rhetoric, but Su Yuanhang didn't believe it: "It's not like you are so free today. Accountant Ye, people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets."
Ye Fan: "I do plan to give it a try. But it will be next year. Now that the policy has become faster, I may not be able to take the exam next year, because I will be thirty-one next year. So, let's take a look first."
Su Yuanhang: “It’s too late this year.”
Ye Fan: "It's definitely too late to take the Hangcheng Normal University exam."
Su Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and couldn't believe it: "You, you, you want to get into Beijing University?!"
Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
Su Yuanhang took a deep breath and held it in for a long time before he finally said, "As expected of Accountant Ye!"
Ye Fan laughed and said, "Keep it a secret for me first. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if the news spreads next year or fails."
"Definitely, definitely."
Su Yuanhang came out from Ye Fan's house and thought about what she would do if she was admitted to Beijing University. Ye Fan was definitely reluctant to be separated from his child, so there was only one possibility: Captain Geng was leaving.
Su Yuanhang wanted to go back, so he turned the car around and then back again. Commander Geng had been on Hengshan Island for five years. Regardless of whether he was promoted or demoted, he should make a move.
Ye Fan is not sure whether he will take the exam next year, but he is not sure where Commander Geng will go next year.
Su Yuanhang thought he had guessed the truth, so he hoped that Geng Zhiye could be transferred to the headquarters. The headquarters is not far from Hengshan Island. If the food factory encounters difficulties, you can still ask Ye Fan for advice.
But he said nothing to anyone. When his father asked him what he was doing when he got home, Su Yuanhang gave a random reason - there was a child who couldn't afford textbooks, so he sent the textbooks over and got away with it.
Since he agreed to prepare for the exam, Ye Fan couldn't say one thing and do another. So on the night when he got the textbook, Ye Fan read until ten o'clock.
The next morning, Ye Fan woke up at around five o'clock, memorized a book for a while, got up at around six o'clock, turned on the stove, then went to wash up, and then went to the vegetable market to buy meat.
After breakfast, Ye Fan picked up geography and continued reading.
Dabao and Erbao wanted to go out to play. When they saw their mother reading a book, they walked over to see what she was reading.
Ye Fan: "Study with mom?"
Dabao and Erbao pretend to be pitiful if they don't want to learn.
Ye Fan: "See, at half past ten, you two go out to play, and then come back and help mom cook for an hour?"
The eldest child and the second child look at their mother's watch. It's nine o'clock. They only need to study for one and a half hours. The two little ones reluctantly accepted it.
After finishing their winter vacation homework, the teacher taught them everything. They didn't know what to learn. Dabao wanted to teach Erbao English, and Erbao wanted to teach Dabao Russian.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel over this, Ye Fan quickly put down the book: "Erbao, brother can't speak English, so don't deliberately embarrass him. Dabao, teach your sister English words. Erbao, my brother's spoken English is not as good as yours, you use English with him Chat.”
Dabao: “Er Bao’s spoken language is not as good as mine.”
Ye Fan nodded: "Is that because I stutter every time?"
"Read the book by yourself." Dabao was so angry that he pulled his sister up and said, "Let's go!"
A few minutes later, Dabao came from the bedroom to answer what his sister had eaten in the morning in broken English.
Ye Fan shook his head and laughed, you face-saving brat!
