"Brother?" Ye Xiaoxi was confused.

The old lady waved to her, asked her to come over, and then said in a low voice: "Don't ask your brother after you, he didn't go to the city, he is helping Mrs. Tai look after the house with you."

"Oh, then why are you angry! So fierce!"

Ye Chenghu turned to glare at her.

Not to be outdone, Ye Xiaoxi opened his eyes wide and stared back.

"Eat, eat, don't quarrel..."

"I won't play with you anymore."

"Who wants to play with you..."

Both of them turned their heads and ignored each other.

Ye Xiaoxi was so happy that she didn't pay attention to him. There were friends at the door. As soon as they finished eating, they ran out again, leaving only Ye Chenghu at home.

He didn't want to go out and be seen by everyone, and then be asked why he was the only one who didn't go.

But playing with toys alone is so boring. In the past, there was still Yangyang. The two brothers played together every day, but today he was the only one...

He looked at the pile of toys and felt a little bored. He rested his chin with his hands and sat at the table in a daze for a while.

Then for the first time, he turned out his homework and wrote it?

When the old lady heard that the house was quiet, she turned her head and looked inside. She was surprised at just one glance.

She thought she was wrong. The sun was going to rise in the west?

No one talks about it, no one urges it, no one forces it, and yet it is written on its own?

In the past, he ran away without a trace, and when he was caught, he was perfunctory. His eyes were blankly looking at the textbook, and his ears were perked up to listen to the outside world.

It’s rare...

She wanted to make sure but was afraid of surprising him, so she walked quietly and glanced at him when she passed him.

The work is neat and tidy.

Although I don’t know the characters, I still know whether the characters are written straight or crooked.

The old lady smiled and walked quietly out, not daring to make any noise for fear of disturbing him, so she just sat at the door to bask in the sun.

Ye Chenghu sat there all afternoon. The old lady went in to cook when dinner time was almost here, and he was still writing conscientiously.

He didn't put down his pen until he called for dinner.

"Ata, when will my dad and the others come back? It's already dark."

"Come on, come on. Your father usually goes to the city. It's already dark when he comes back. You eat first."

"oh."

After the meal, he was not so attentive when he picked up his pen again.

Instead, he wrote for a while and then looked up at the window, but he was determined not to go out.

I just don't know if I'm afraid of being asked, or if I want to show off to the adults who come back.

After waiting until it was completely dark, he couldn't calm down at all. He didn't increase the number of words in the notebook, and kept mumbling about why he didn't come back.

It wasn't until he heard a voice calling his name from outside that he ran out excitedly.

"Chenghu...Chenghu...we are back..."

A large group of children were playing at the door. After seeing the Ye family's children, they all gathered around and chatted with each other, with all kinds of envious remarks coming out.

As soon as Ye Chenghu stepped out of the courtyard door, he stood still and did not go forward again. He was sulking alone.

There were so many people around, so he didn't want to watch them show off.

He craned his neck and looked at the adults slowly walking behind him with flashlights on, and he began to look forward to it again.

Finally back!

Ye Yaodong carried a bunch of big and small bags in his hands, and the basket in Lin Xiuqing's hands was also full. The couple bought a lot, including food and drink. They wanted to buy back any fresh items they saw.

Ye Chenghu waited for them to come forward, and then he called out aggrievedly, "Father, mother..."

"Are you good at home today?"

He hummed softly, then followed them in.

The old lady nearby hurriedly chatted, "Good boy, he was so good at home. He cried for a while when he found out you were gone in the morning. He was very good after that. He didn't even go out. He even took the initiative to do his homework at home."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and looked at the people following him step by step.

"Are you taking the initiative to do your homework? The sun is shining in the west?"

Ye Chenghu's mouth was raised so high that it could hold a bottle of oil, and he remained silent.

"Why did you go so early? Do your homework conscientiously and complete it a few days ago, and I won't let you look after the house."

Ye Chenghu was so aggrieved that he almost shed tears.

"Stop crying, I'll bring you a gift."

He wiped away his tears and leaned forward.

Ye Yaodong picked through the things on the table and gave him two copybooks.

"Now, your gift."

When Ye Chenghu saw it, tears burst out immediately, "Wow, wow, wow..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Stop teasing him. He will be sad enough if you stay at home all day."

"If you don't give him a lesson, he won't be able to remember it. He won't be afraid of being beaten or scolded. Have you remembered it now? If you don't obey and don't do your homework well, you will have nothing that others have."

Ye Chenghu continued to cry without responding.

"Did you hear that?"

He reluctantly stopped for a moment, opened his eyes, and responded with a cry, "I know."

"If you don't finish your homework on New Year's Eve, you won't get the New Year's money, and you won't get any money given by others. Do you remember that?"

"Remember."

The old lady quickly smoothed things over, "Okay, okay, he's remembered it all. He did his homework today. Look, it's still on the table. He wrote so neatly. Don't scold him."

"Go out and play, let Yangyang give you some, it's all with him."

"don't want."

The old lady added: "Don't ask him to go out. He hasn't gone out all day today. No matter who calls him, he won't go out."

"Why?"

"Haha, I brought everything but him. The children at home are not here. How can he have the nerve to go out?"

"No wonder you are so serious all of a sudden. You stay at home and do your homework, and you still care about face?"

Ye Chenghu continued to remain silent.

"Then keep writing."

He wanted to cry again.

Lin Xiuqing smiled as she sorted out the things she bought, and Ye Yaodong also helped her.

Ye Chenghu just watched them pack their things and ignored him. He felt sad again. There really were no gifts from him, only a lot of thick copybooks. He really wanted to cry.

Tears flowed into my stomach, so I picked up the pen and sat down to continue writing, wiping my tears while writing.

Until Ye Chengyang ran in with a basket, "Brother..."

Ye Chenghu threw away his pen and stood up so excited that the stool was knocked over by him.

He didn't want to take care of it at first, but he glanced at his parents out of nowhere, and then quickly raised the stool.

"Yangyang, you bought it all...you traitor!"

"Ah! Then it doesn't matter to you, you scold me!"

"You are unjust! You promised to call me, but you didn't call me!"

"I fell asleep too. I didn't know. I was carried out by my father. I didn't even bring my piggy bank with me. They all did."

Ye Chenghu became even more angry. He also thought that Yangyang must have spent all his money, but he still had money. He was the richest among his brothers and sisters.

"Second brother, brother doesn't want it, give it to me, give it to me... I like you the most, second brother~"

"Hehe, then I will divide you, not my brother..."

Ye Chengyang carried the basket and ran to the master bedroom with Ye Xiaoxi. The two of them ignored Ye Chenghu.

Ye Chenghu was so angry that he almost went out of his body, but he was also very curious about what he bought.

He hesitated for a while, and when he heard the excited shouting in the room, he felt as if he was scratching his head, so he still ran in after him, just wanting to get involved.

Lin Xiuqing also chatted with Ye Yaodong, "I bought everything I needed to buy this year, so I don't have to go to the market anymore. I will give a copy to the village cadres of the things I bought today. The gifts back then were decent and also
