When Jia Yi got home, he started steaming steamed buns and sweet potatoes. Qin Huairu had made the steamed buns yesterday, and Jia Yi just took them out and heated them up.

While Jia Yi was doing his homework, he paid attention to the heat.

But when Jia Yi raised his head after finishing his homework, there was a girl sitting next to him.

"It is you."

"It's me, you're actually doing your homework now."

"What's wrong? Is there anything strange about this?"

"Shouldn't you have gone out to play at this time before? Besides, I haven't seen you go out for a long time."

The girl sat on the corridor, kicking her feet absentmindedly.

"You have changed since last year."

"Yes, I have changed and grown up. In fact, people change all the time. I just grow up a little faster than you."

Jia Yi couldn't explain his situation. He couldn't tell the truth, he could only tell something else.

"Why are you here? Don't you usually come to the Intermediate Courtyard?

You should be playing outside at this time."

Jia Yi was a little confused. The girl suddenly came here today and talked to him. Could it be that there was something wrong?

Although they are the same age, live in the same courtyard house, and go to the same elementary school, they have almost no interaction with each other.

Jia Yi is in Class 1 and she is in Class 3.

Jia Yi took Xiaodang Huaihua to school in the morning and evening, and she followed her father.

After returning to the yard, the two of them had little contact.

Coupled with the age gap between the two, the two rarely talked alone.

"I feel a little uncomfortable today and want to find a place to sit where no one is..."

The girl's expression was dull and dull, but there was a desire to talk in her heart that drove her to speak out.

"For what?"

Jia Yi asked curiously. After all, this was a bit inappropriate. Given the nature of the girl's family, nothing would happen.

"There are meetings at home every day these days."

"Uh, isn't it normal for your family to have meetings?"

"This time is different. In previous meetings, we discussed who would use the bicycle or whether to replace it with coarse grains or something like that.

But this time, the discussion is about whether to suspend me from school."

Jia Yi can't believe it. Although every household is a little sad now, it's not to this point.

"How could it be possible? How could it be possible for the third uncle to..."

When the girl heard that Jia Yi had misunderstood her father, she quickly defended herself.

"What my dad didn't agree with was my eldest brother's suggestion."

"What's that for?"

"The eldest brother said that the wages of his and his father can no longer support the family of seven. They have to exchange grain for coarse grains every month, and they still don't have enough to eat."

The girl said sadly, her eyes were red and she was about to cry.

"Don't worry. You have to trust your dad. He will never let you drop out of school. Come on, have a candy."

Jia Yi looked at the sad girl in front of him and didn't know how to persuade her. He had no choice. After all, he had been single for so many years and coaxing girls was really not what Jia Yi was good at.

Fortunately, this is a little girl, sugar can probably solve the problem...

Jia Yi was not sure, but fortunately this trick worked really well.

The girl was eating fruit candies and her mood obviously improved a lot.

"Thank you, Jia Yi, it's time for me to go home."

The girl wiped her eyes, packed her mood and prepared to go home for the final trial.

"etc."

Jia Yi looked at the girl's cute face and couldn't bear it. He took out a steamed bun from the steamer and handed it to her.

"This is what I asked you to do. Don't worry, you will definitely be able to continue going to school."

The girl was speechless. She silently held the steamed bun and stared at Jia Yi carefully for a while before speaking softly.

"Thanks."

Jia Yi watched the girl walk out quietly, in a daze.

"She was so beautiful and cute when she was a child, but when she grows up...it's such a pity."

Jia Yi shook his head. Originally, Jia Yi didn't want to get involved with the third uncle's family, and he didn't even want to deal with the affairs of his children.

After all, the third uncle and his family are all proficient in calculations. Jia Yi really can't accept such a person who likes to calculate everything.

However, when Jia Yi saw the little girl's sad look today, he actually softened his heart.

"well…"

"What are you sighing for?"

He Hui came back with her two little ones and was very surprised to see Jia Yi sighing in a daze.

"Nothing, I just heard something disturbing."

"Oh, what is it? Who told you? Can you tell me?"

Jia Yi looked at the old and the young with gossipy faces speechlessly, hehe, women...

"Brother, tell me quickly."

"It's okay to say it, but you are not allowed to tell it."

"good."

The three of them said in unison, looking at Jia Yi expectantly.

"Forget it, I'll tell you later while we're eating, wash your hands first, and then bring in the steamed buns and sweet potatoes."

The three women looked disappointed, but still did as they were told.

"Okay, Xiaodang Huaihua, let's go."

Jia Yi quickly entered the house, but he had delayed the three women. The dishes had not been brought out yet. If he didn't go into the house first, his secret would be revealed.

As soon as Jia Yi took out the dishes, He Hui came in with the staple food, followed closely by the two little ones.

"Xiao Yi, tell me quickly."

Jia Yi had no choice but to repeat what Yan Jiedi said just now.

"I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the third uncle's house. How about we help her."

After hearing this, He Hui felt that Yan Jiedi was very pitiful and couldn't bear it, so she wanted to help her.

Especially considering the superior conditions of my own home, I have never had to worry about this kind of thing.

"None of us can help with this matter, the third uncle can only make his own decision.

But you don't have to worry, the third uncle will not let his eldest son succeed.

You'd better not worry too much here.

Come, let’s have dinner, I’ve specially cooked some more delicious dishes.”

Jia Yi said, opening the lunch boxes one by one.

"Wow, scrambled eggs with leeks.

Braised pork.

Potato chicken nuggets.

Saltwater duck.

Brother, what is this?"

Jia Yi opened the lid, and Xiao Danghuaihua announced the name of the dish. Even He Hui put down her worries and concentrated on watching the food.

"This is stir-fried shrimp. And this crucian carp tofu soup."

Since the harvest of soybeans, Jia Yi has been thinking about eating tofu, so last Sunday, Jia Yi specially found gypsum and made a lot of tofu and dried tofu at one time. Of course, he also saved a lot of tofu brains.

"Yeah, delicious."

"Brother's craftsmanship is very good."

"Of course."

Jia Yi felt even happier after hearing the three people's compliments.
