After returning home, Yi Zhonghai was still talking about what happened to Silly Zhu.
"This stupid Zhu, he really knows what he's talking about. He doesn't even know anything and went to look for his third uncle with a stick. I'm the only one who saw it.”
Yi Zhonghai could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. If something had really happened just now, then their quad would not be able to raise their heads in front of others in the future. This idiot was really a big deal when something happened.
Previously, it was him who had been sent to the detention center for a few days because he had stolen Yan Bugui's bicycle wheels. Now, he had almost gotten into trouble. If something happened this time, he would not be sent to the detention center, but to prison.
"This Silly Zhu is also anxious. Everyone in our quad who is of the same generation as Silly Zhu is married. Even Yan Jiecheng, who is younger than Silly Zhu, is married. In addition to the recent news of He Yushui's wedding, of course Silly Zhu is anxious.”
Aunt Yi comforted Yi Zhonghai.
She didn't think that Silly Zhu was a good person. The reason why she said all this was to persuade Yi Zhonghai not to be too angry.
" He's anxious. If he's anxious, he wouldn't have been having an ambiguous relationship with Widow Qin. He's almost thirty now, and he still hasn't made up his mind. If he really takes a fancy to Qin Huiru, then he'll marry her properly and help her raise her family. He'll have to endure it no matter what happens in the future. If he doesn't like Qin Huiru, then he'll quickly cut ties with her and find a proper wife. There's no one like him who's on good terms with Qin Huiru and wants to find a wife at the same time. Why?" He still wanted to be like the landlord and rich old man in the past.”
If it wasn't for Yi Xuexi, Yi Zhonghai would have scolded him.
He now understood that Silly Zhu was only anxious on the surface. In fact, he might even be enjoying his current state.
Perhaps in his heart, he still thought that he was very capable. Thinking about how the famous Widow Qin of the rolling mill washed his underpants and cleaned for him, she was simply serving him like a husband.
"That's true, but it's also Silly Zhu's father's fault. Didn't He Daqing follow a widow to protect the city back then? Maybe in Silly Zhu's heart, he thought that widows were good.”
Aunt Yi could not help but nod.
A widow, especially one with a son, was not easy to help.
Even after marriage, stepfathers and sons rarely got along. It was fine when the stepfather was young, but when he was old and had a few sons to support the stepfather, most of them were chased out of the house.
It was just that Silly Zhu had no parents since he was young, so no one taught him these things.
Yi Xuexi, who was reading beside him, couldn't help but nod in his heart. That's right, being a stepfather was indeed not easy. Let's not talk about the examples he had seen in the future. Just take Dorgon's previous life as an example. He married a widow who had a son and gave half of the country to his stepson. He treated his stepson well, but in the end, he was still dug out and whipped. This was literally whipped.
If even Dorgon couldn't do it, why would Silly Zhu think that he could?
Shaking his head, Yi Xuexi tossed these messy thoughts out of his mind and continued to read the book in his hand. He still had this mission to complete.
This time, although the library staff allowed him to borrow books according to the maximum period of borrowing books, which was two months, it was still a little difficult to absorb the knowledge in these books in two months.
According to Yi Xuexi's plan, he would go through these books first and pick out the book that he didn't understand the least. This way, he would be able to copy down the most difficult book at the end.
Looking at Yi Xuexi, who was flipping through the book, Yi Zhonghai could not help but nod in his heart. He looked at his son and then looked at the idiot Zhu who he had wanted him to take care of in his old age. The difference was like heaven and earth. They could not be compared at all.
Yi Xuexi could barely read English books now, but as for Silly Zhu, he probably couldn't even memorize the English alphabets now. If it wasn't for Yi Xuexi, he wouldn't have been able to recognize them, let alone Silly Zhu.
By the time Yi Xuexi finished flipping through the books, it was already late. The Yi family had already turned off the lights and went to bed.
After the incident with Qin Jingru, the courtyard returned to its previous calm. If there was anything different, it was because of Qin Jingru's introduction. Silly Zhu was now close to Qin Huairu again. The two of them would chat whenever they had time. Moreover, they would even talk and laugh when they talked.
This made many people in the courtyard frown, but they also knew that it was useless to say anything, so no one said anything in front of Silly Zhu.
The weather was getting warmer by the day. Although it wasn't the season to wear short-sleeved shirts, Yi Xuexi had already changed out of his sweater and was now wearing a long-sleeved jacket.
After school, Chen Jingjing asked Yi Xuexi and the Bao brothers to go to Houhai the next day. The news had already spread to the school. Recently, Nanluoguxiang Primary School had a day off for almost every day of school. If it weren't for Yi Xuexi, Chen Jingjing and the other children would have gone crazy.
"I'm not going. I still have to set the test questions for you. You guys should seize the time to have fun these two days. When you want to learn from me, you won't have time to play.”
There were only two months left until the final exams, and Yi Xuexi was going to start the special training for the three of them.
Hearing Yi Xuexi's words, the happiness on Chen Jingjing's face immediately disappeared. She knew that Yi Xuexi's questions were even more difficult than the teacher's homework. Moreover, Yi Xuexi had to watch them when they were doing the questions. In other words, there was no way to cheat.
"I'm not going either. I'm going to sleep in at home tomorrow.”
Bao Kangmei also knew that compared to school, the exam questions here were much more difficult, so he didn't want to go to Houhai.
Yi Xuexi didn't go, the Bao brothers didn't go, and Chen Jingjing herself didn't have the interest to go either.
When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they were about to separate when they saw a car drive into the alley. Chen Jing Jing and the others immediately stared at it without blinking.
At this time, a bicycle was already luxurious enough, let alone a car.
"This car is so big."
Bao Yuanchao said with envy. He had never sat in a car before.
"This car isn't big. I've been in a much bigger car before.”
Although Chen Jingjing's eyes were filled with envy, she would never admit it.
When she was at He Qiang's place, she had taken a military truck several times. In her small mind, the bigger one was better, so a truck was definitely better than a car.
While the children were arguing, the person in the car also got out. It was Yan Jiecheng.
Yi Xuexi immediately understood. It seemed that it was time to cook for the big leader. Moreover, because he had replaced Silly Zhu as the head chef of the canteen, the person who went to the big leader's house to cook this time was Yan Jiecheng.
This was also good. When he watched TV dramas, the scene that he could not stand the most was when the meme was forced to drive a car in the Ministry by Silly Zhu through his connections. What a joke. There were many people who could not get such a job even in their dreams. How could the meme do it in the end? It was also because of this that Yi Xuexue did not have a good impression of Silly Zhu in his previous life.
He was clearly scolding the factory manager for treating the workers, but Silly Zhu had once held back when he took things from the canteen. He clearly said that he was open and aboveboard, but he used his connections to block the stick to the Ministry. Wasn't this both standing and standing?
This time, Yi Xuexi wanted to see how Silly Zhu could improve his relationship with the gangster after he couldn't let him drive in the Ministry.
"Studying? I knew you guys had just finished school.”
Yan Jiecheng didn't go straight into the courtyard after he got off the car. Instead, he looked around as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know that he came back by car. However, when he saw Yi Xuexi, he immediately smiled and walked over.
"Hello, Uncle Jie Cheng."
Seeing Yan Jiecheng come over, Yi Xuexi bowed and greeted him. As for Chen Jingjing and the other two, they also called him Uncle Jiecheng.
"Okay, okay, okay. Uncle doesn't have many snacks on him today. How about this? Uncle will give you two yuan each. You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy whatever you want to eat, okay?”
Yan Jiecheng squatted down and patted Yi Xuexi's shoulder. He then pinched Chen Jingjing's.
"Alright, Uncle Jie Cheng is the best."
Chen Jing Jing and the others immediately jumped up in excitement when they heard that there was two yuan.
After giving the money to the children, Bao Kangmei brought Bao Yuanchao and Chen Jingjing to the supply and marketing cooperative. They had to work hard to spend all the money this time. If they didn't spend it all, it wouldn't be theirs when they took it home.
"Studying? Why aren't you going?"
Yan Jiecheng said in confusion as he watched the three children run away. Logically speaking, with the relationship between Yi Xuexi and them, they would not leave Yi Xuexi behind.
"I don't want to eat delicious food. I want to save up money to buy books.”
Yi Xuexi said matter-of-factly as he stuffed the two yuan into his small bag.
At first, Bao Kangmei would still call him, but after Yi Xuexi rejected them a few times, they knew that Yi Xuexi had to save his pocket money, so they didn't even call him.
Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but nod at Yi Xuexi's answer. He looked at Yi Xuexi and then thought about Yan Jiedi, who was only a few years older than Yi Xuexi. Yan Jiecheng could only say that people couldn't be compared.
Now that she had many holidays, Yan Jiedi wished she could follow Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekang everywhere. Sometimes, she would go out for a whole day without going home. Then, she looked at Yi Xuexue. Even though she had many holidays, she was still busy reading all day.
"Since you're using your studies to buy books, I'll give you two more yuan. But when your father comes back later, you have to tell him that I'm going to your house to look for him tonight.”
Yan Jiecheng counted out another two yuan.
"Got it. Thank you, Uncle Jie Cheng.”
Yi Xuexi took the two yuan and bent over.
"Good girl, hurry up and go back."
Yan Jiecheng wiped Yi Xuexi's head and told him to go back.
After returning home, Yi Xuexi immediately took out his small metal box and opened it. Inside was the pocket money that Yi Xuexi had saved up during this period of time. It was a total of 9.35 yuan. Six yuan was the New Year's money, and the other 3.35 yuan was the pocket money that Aunt One usually gave him. There were even fifths and ten cents.
After taking out his pocket money and counting it to make sure that it was correct, Yi Xuexi put the four yuan that Yan Jiecheng gave him today into the metal box. This way, he had 13.35 yuan, which was enough for him to go to the business bookstore.
Although he could borrow books from the library now, in terms of quality, the books from the business bookstore were definitely better.
This was also the difference in the audience. The library mainly targeted people who didn't even know English, so the books there were very basic. However, the business bookstore targeted people who had a certain foundation, so the books there were much more difficult.
If Yi Xuexi had to take a long time to pick a book every time he went to the library, then any book in the business bookstore could benefit him greatly.
"Xuexi, you're rich today. Who gave you the money?”
Yi Xuexi's actions were naturally seen by Aunt Yi. She could not help but ask curiously.
She knew that Yi Xuexi definitely didn't pick up the money because if he did, even if it was just a few cents, Yi Xuexi would have waited for the owner instead of bringing the money home to hide it.
In terms of personal morality, Aunt Yi was absolutely confident in Yi Xuexi.
"Uncle Jie Cheng gave it to me. Uncle Jie Cheng came back by car today. When he saw me, Chen Jingjing, and the others, he gave us two yuan each. Then he gave me another two yuan and asked me to tell Dad that he would come over tonight.”
Yi Xuexi said as he placed the small metal box into the cabinet.
After listening to Yi Xuexi's words, Aunt Yi also understood that Yan Jiecheng had encountered a problem and wanted to discuss it with Yi Zhonghai. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically said that it would be at night.
She would let Yi Zhonghai and Yan Jiecheng discuss these matters. She was a woman who never left the house. Even if she wanted to help, she could not help.
After putting the money away, Yi Xuexi started reading the book he borrowed from the library at the dining table.
In his heart, he started to plan. A few days ago, he had gone to the library with Yi Zhonghai and borrowed a few more books, enough for him to read for two months. When the two-month deadline was up, he would take the money to the business bookstore. With 13 yuan, it was enough for him to buy a few books. Moreover, he could not stop at the library, so he had to borrow a few more books.
With the books he had borrowed and the three little ones 'test questions, he had enough to live these two months.
With the books he bought from the business bookstore and the books he borrowed from the library, he would be busy during the summer vacation.
