Ye Fan couldn't help but worry: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Xiao Ming is so kind-hearted. If he can escape this time, there will be another time. It's better to tell him to learn a lesson earlier."
Ye Fan poked his daughter on the forehead and said, "Your father is right, you are already a blockbuster without even making a sound." He glared at her and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Erbao jumped up and caught up: "It's too late. With Xiao Ming's speed, he was already out of sight."
"Shut up." Ye Fan didn't want to hear her voice for the time being.
Erbao didn't shut up: "Mom, don't worry. As far as I know, Chu Guangming's character is not bad. It's our turn for grade cleaning, and Chu Guangming is very active. If something happens, his father will take the opportunity to ask Xiao Ming for compensation. He will stop him. His dad.”
Ye Fan stopped and turned around to stare at his daughter with burning eyes.
Erbao covered his mouth: "Don't say, don't say."
"Is it because I have eaten too many poisonous mushrooms when I talk so much? Or is it because I have exchanged souls with your brother?"
Erbao shook his head and said no.
Ye Fan went to the alley entrance and saw that her classmate's fried dough sticks were sold out and there were few people eating. She coughed lightly to attract the classmate's attention and winked at him.
My classmate was hungry after a busy morning, so he came over with a steamed bun to eat. When he saw Erbao, he asked: "Your daughter?"
Erbao covered his mouth and nodded.
The classmate was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Ye Fan: "She talks too much. I told her to shut up!"
The classmate laughed: "You have changed a lot from before. Even if your facial features have not changed much, I wouldn't even recognize you."
Speaking of the changes, Ye Fan felt guilty and didn't want to continue talking, so he directly asked him if he knew Chu Guangming.
The house that Ye Fan's classmates and a few fellow villagers rented was actually part of the courtyard. In the early years, the arched door leading to the courtyard was blocked up, turning one house into two. After the revolution, the entire house had to be returned to the original owner. The people in the courtyard were unwilling to move, so the original owner asked comrades in the real estate department to open another household for him. He only wanted the current side courtyard and the courtyard to be handed over to the state.
Ye Fan's classmates rented a private courtyard. The original owner went south to Hong Kong City, and the person who collected the rent was his distant nephew, because during the Cultural Revolution, the nephew often secretly helped his family in the middle of the night.
Speaking of which, there was only a wall between them. Ye Fan's classmates could hear clearly what happened in the courtyard: "We know him. That kid studies well. He's a college prospect."
Ye Fan: "I see that all the clothes he wears are patched. Is his family very poor?"
"His family is not poor, but he and his grandfather have no money. The clothes you mentioned should belong to Uncle Chu." Ye Fan's classmate usually chats with people in the afternoons and knows the situation of the Chu family very well, "Both his parents are rich. , but they don’t think he has this child. His father has been ill recently and is in hospital. It seems that his aunt asked him to use the money to pay for his father’s medical treatment the day before yesterday. This child still has three years of high school, and he doesn’t know what he will do in the future. He can also take the technical secondary school exam if he wants to go to high school.”
Ye Fan: "Xiao Ming said that he often wears dirty clothes and looks like a bastard."
"I used to think so too. Later I realized that the clothes were getting thinner as they were washed, and he was reluctant to wash them every two days."
Ye Fan was speechless. For the first time in his life, he heard that he was afraid of washing his clothes, so he continued to wear them even if they were dirty.
"How is Chu Guangming's character?"
Classmate: "Filial. He does all the laundry and cooking by himself. He is more sensible than others in my family. I have never heard anyone say that he is sneaky. I really can't believe his parents are like that. Oh, by the way, why are you asking all this? ?”
Ye Fan turned to Erbao, "Don't you like to talk? Go ahead and say it."
Erbao put down his hand and explained that Chu Guangming asked her mother to get clothes and set up a stall with Zhang Xiaoming.
The classmate exclaimed: "He doesn't go to school anymore?"
Ye Fan: "His father doesn't need his money. He can earn enough for this semester's tuition by working for a few days. Normally, he can earn enough living expenses by working for a day on weekends. I'm afraid that his aunt will ask him to pay if she finds out."
When Ye Fan's classmate arrived, his eyes darkened. Chu Guangming's grandfather told him where to buy a rickshaw and where to buy a stove and coal to make briquettes himself.
In the morning, the couple also discussed going to the hospital to see Uncle Chu. Hearing this, he felt that if Chu Guangming's aunt knew that her nephew was making money by setting up a stall, she would definitely take the opportunity to ask for money.
Chu Guangming gave up the money he asked for the day before yesterday, so he might pay it back this time.
The classmate said: "His aunt is trouble-free. I heard that his grandfather was also a chicken thief when he was young. It's strange for a nest of bad bamboos to produce good ones."
Erbao couldn't help but said: "Mom, think of a way. Xiao Ming will have to shed a layer of skin if he is entangled by Chu Guangming's aunt."
Ye Fan: "It is inconvenient for outsiders to come forward. The best way is to divert the trouble from the other side and bite the dog."
Ye Fan's classmates have poor academic performance but are smart, but they just don't like studying. Wen Yan knew what to do. After returning home and cleaning up, my classmate took his wife to buy some fruit and went to the hospital. He took the opportunity to chat with Chu Guangming's aunt outside the ward door. He said that Chu Guangming's father was rich, and then he wondered that Uncle Chu and his grandson should have saved a lot of money through frugality, and they didn't know where the money went.
Early the next morning, Ye Fan and Zhang Xiaoming took several children to Jin City. On the train, Ye Fan told Zhang Xiaoming about the situation of the Chu family.
Zhang Xiaoming scratched his head and said uncomfortably: "I heard what Xiaoying said."
"What did Dong Ying say?"
Zhang Xiaoming: "Let Chu Guangming help her look after the store for two days first. In the next few days, he will also work with me. Let him go to school when school starts. He will not be a fool if he has a future. In the future, he will be admitted to university and have both good conduct and academic performance. He won’t become like his father when we are together.”
Ye Fan sighed: "Who asked Chu Guangming? I mean those people from the Chu family."
Zhang Xiaoming: "Chu Guangming's stepmother's father is an old subordinate of my father-in-law. His father dare not cause any trouble for us."
Ye Fan was surprised: "Why haven't I heard you say that?"
"I don't know." Zhang Xiaoming only wanted to make money, and he didn't care about food, clothing, or favors. However, Dong Ying asked him to follow the courtesy and he did so honestly. In fact, it's also because he knows that he doesn't have enough brains to have deep friendships with others.
Dabao couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Ming, his stepmother doesn't know that you are just one house away from the Chu family, right?"
Geng Sensen: "I definitely don't know. Otherwise, given where Aunt Dong lives, she wouldn't have never been to the courtyard after several years of marriage."
Ye Fan looked at his nephew: "How do you know how many years someone has been married?"
Dabao: "I heard you and Dad talking about Chu Guangming at noon yesterday. In the afternoon, we divided our forces to find out more about it. Mom, should you praise me?"
Ye Fan: "I will give you a task. If you complete it successfully, I will give you fifty yuan a month."
"Don't do it!"
Ye Fan: "I'll give you two hundred at a time?"
"Is two hundred a semester a lot?"
Ye Fan reminded his son that the school's subsidy was enough for him. Dabao couldn't help but mutter: "How come you remember everything?"
"Isn't it rare?" Ye Fan turned to Erbao, "Erbao——"
Erbao shook his head: "Mom, my ability is limited, you should find your brother."
Ye Fan poked her in the head.
Dabao: "Say something first."
Ye Fan said: "Your aunt has been hesitant for the past two days. She always wants to talk to me and your dad about Sun Laifu. I feel like she can't hold it in anymore. Return to the capital and find a chance to ask your sister-in-law."
< br>
Dabao was surprised: "Why are you so roundabout?"
"Since your aunt graduated from college, she may have thought that she has grown up and does not need to worry about her brothers, sister-in-law and elders. She does not speak well and is a bit ignorant." Ye Fan said: "She gets annoyed when I talk too much." Dabao nodded: "My aunt You’re not sensible! Especially when it comes to dating! Just leave it to me and marry her off at the end of the year so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Zhang Xiaoming was amused by Dabao's words: "That's your aunt, not your uncle's family who just sells his vegetables."
"If she tries to be smart again, I'll give her away for nothing." Dabao said seriously.
Zhang Xiaoming shook his head and laughed.
When they arrived at Tianjin City, Ye Fan and Zhang Xiaoming took a few children to a hotel. They made an appointment to meet at the hotel in the afternoon, and they took the bus to the industrial and commercial department.
Ye Fan brought the goods to the capital to generate income for Tianjin City. The industrial and commercial department naturally welcomed them, and then asked her to find out which daily necessities companies there were in Tianjin City.
The deal was finalized near noon, and Ye Fan and Zhang Xiaoming went to rent a train. In the afternoon, after paying the money, Ye Fan and his party returned to the capital.
Before departure, Ye Fan called Aunt Li's house - Aunt Li's son needed to apply for a phone because of his work. Geng Zhiye helped Ye Fan rent a car in the capital, and then sent one truck of goods to Chang Guangrong's house, one truck to Zhang Xiaoming's house, and two trucks to Ye Fan's house.
The next morning when others came to pick up the goods, Ye Fan was still sleeping. Geng Zhiye told everyone to bring an extra 100 or 50 yuan for daily necessities tomorrow and sell them at the entrance of the university.
While Yu Wentao was waiting for someone to pick up the goods at home, Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye sent Geng Sensen to school to register. The next day, the couple sent Dabao to register again.
Dabao muttered: "How old am I? I still need to be sent by my parents. Dad, you are going back to the army. Don't you want to be alone with your mother?"
Even if Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan didn't send him away, he could wipe away his tears alone. Geng Zhiye told the truth, Geng Dabao, who wanted to save face, dared to slap him down - his father slandered him.
Geng Zhiye: "Sending you off is not the point. The point is to look at the environment of the dormitory."
Dabao: "There must be four people in a room."
Geng Zhiye: "Let's see and then talk."
Geng Dabao reluctantly took them to register.
The classmate who received Geng Dabao asked curiously: "Are you your parents?"
Dabao nodded and said helplessly: "My home is nearby, and I don't even need to take the bus after leaving the school gate. Don't worry about me if you don't tell me. It sounds like I'm thousands of miles away from home."
His senior brother nodded understandingly and whispered: "We will also be the children of our parents until we grow old. It will be over if we endure it."
Geng Zhiye saw that Dabao lived in the same dormitory with his senior brothers. The youngest was three years older than him. After listening to the opinions of several people, he regarded Dabao as his younger brother. The couple felt relieved.
When Dabao caught up with him when he was about to go home, Ye Fan asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I'll give it to you." Dabao said.
Ye Fan rolled his eyes helplessly: "Who said our home is nearby? Why do we need to send it so close?"
"I--my school is so big and many classrooms are the same. It's your first time here--"
Geng Zhiye: "Isn't this your first time? Geng Dabao, stop right there."
"If you want to date mom, just say so." Dabao looked like he had seen through him, "Go, go."
Ye Fan: "If you want to go home and improve the food, call Aunt Li and I will pick you up."
"I know." Dabao waved his hand, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly chased after him, "You two are not allowed to call me Dabao in the future."
The students passing behind him stopped subconsciously, turned around to look, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Geng Dabao? Aren't you going to the Northeast?"
The students around him all looked over. Geng Dabao wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in, but his arm was grabbed by his senior brother. "Is it really you? Which department? Don't be my junior brother again."
Dabao was so angry that he threw him away: "I don't know you."
Brother Dabao High School saw his face turned red and said with a smile: "I just know you." He said to Ye Fan, "Auntie. Is this uncle? This is the first time I've met him. You are really a busy man."
< br>
Geng Zhiye does not want his son to become Gao Yanei, but his son is under 16 years old, and he is worried that his classmates who are two or three years older than him will bully him. "I am quite busy and only have a few dozen days of vacation every year. Are you a classmate of Dabao High School?"< br>
"I'm one year ahead of him." The senior brother looked at Geng Zhiye. He had a short crew cut, a tall build, and an unusually bright gaze. He put his arm around Dabao's shoulders and said, "Uncle and auntie, don't worry, no one will dare to bully our Dabao while I'm here." .”
Geng Dabao pushed him away and kicked him.
Geng Zhiye took his son's arm: "Your senior brother is joking." He said to Dabao alumni, "He doesn't know where the cafeteria is yet. Please take him there."
"No trouble!" The schoolmate grabbed Dabao's arm and waved to Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan.
Ye Fan: "This kid is a talent."
Geng Zhiye nodded: "To be admitted to a key university, I have a high IQ. He is eloquent and discerning. If nothing else, he may be more promising than Dabao in the future."
"Yes." Ye Fan said, "Let's go too."
Geng Zhiye asked as he walked: "Has Dabao figured out Xiaoqin's matter?"
Ye Fan: "Sun Laifu was flattered when he saw Xiao Qin carrying the food box. But being touched does not mean that he will not take Qiao in the future. Let's see. I also told Dabao to occasionally remind Xiao Qin to go out on a date. Sun Laifu looks good, He also has a good personality and can definitely express emotions in many places.”
When they arrived at the door, they saw that Zhang Xiaoming and Chu Guangming were filled with various daily necessities, and there were also many students in need of facial oil and soap. Geng Zhiye: "Business is very good."
Ye Fan shook his head: "It's much worse than two years ago. In the past, a dozen of us would buy a batch of goods at a time. Now that we have a store, more than 20 people are picking up goods, and the flow rate is almost the same as before."
Geng Zhiye asked: "What is the reason?"
"There is no problem with the goods. There are more stalls." Ye Fan said, "If this business is not going to change from the former monks with few monks and more meat to the monks with more monks and less meat, I will not take the opportunity to buy a batch of daily necessities."
Geng Zhi reminded her that when there are many people, chaos is easy, and this line of work may also encounter severe crackdowns.
Ye Fan: "We have a store. But Zhang Xiaozhi and our neighbor to the west don't have a store. I will remind them to borrow money to buy one and then apply for a business license. Once it is legal and legal, no matter how strict the investigation is, we will not be found."
Geng Zhiye was very afraid that others would harm Ye Fan. Seeing that she knew what she knew, he said something else: "I checked on Chu Guangming's mother."
"Which eldest lady?"
Geng Zhiye: "The daughter of the district chief during the Cultural Revolution."
"Just the district chief?" Ye Fan couldn't believe it. "From what Erbao said, I thought he was at least the leader of a certain bureau."
Geng Zhiye said: "Given the situation of the Chu family, it is not easy for his father to have access to the district chief's daughter."
"No wonder he married a soldier's daughter for the second time. I'm afraid not everyone in the capital government agencies knows his virtues, and he can't lie anymore."
Geng Zhiye: "His parents are a perfect match, but the current partner of the two of them agrees with the saying, a good man has no good wife, and a lazy man marries a slut."
"Both of them are so cruel that they don't want to have a son. It's obviously a good match." Ye Fan said, "The couple should be tied to death!"
Geng Zhiye saw that the car on the road was far away from them, and then pulled Ye Fan across the road: "Chu Guangming will not turn sixteen in a few months. Unless something goes wrong and his parents find out, they can blame Zhang Xiaoming for leading a minor. , and then take advantage of it.”
Ye Fan: "I met my classmate this morning and told me to wait and watch the show. He must have a way."
