Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 241 Youth is Gone ()

Along the way, Chen Chao's heart was filled with some indescribable emotions instead of foreign words.

Fu Cangzhao didn't blame her for wasting time. When people are always confused, they need to find the answer through thinking. Finding the answer and then taking action will often get twice the result with half the effort, so there is no shortage of time.

Back home, Chen Zhi lay on the bed writing and drawing. Chen Hui held an unfamiliar book in her hand and looked at it with relish.

"Hui, what are you talking about?" Chen Chao asked curiously, pointing at the book which was 70% to 80% new.

Chen Hui raised her head and saw that her eldest sister had returned home. She said "oh" and explained, "My former classmate lent me this book. She said it was good."

Chen Chao was curious, and took a look at it, and found that the whole page was full of love, love, and love... And looking at the little girl's ignorant black eyes, she was sure that the child didn't understand it at all.

She asked: "Do you think it looks good?"

Chen Hui was stunned, then lowered her head: "Xiao Li said, it looks good. I don't know... If the eldest sister feels bad, I will return it to her right away."

"Don't be in a hurry to return it to others. At least it's a thought, and you can take the opportunity to learn Chinese characters," Chen Chao turned over on the kang and said earnestly, "First of all, answer my sister's question. What do you think girls should do when they grow up? ?”

"What should girls do when they grow up...?" Chen Hui's confused eyes widened, "When my aunt saw me, she asked me if she wanted to find a date for me..."

Chen Chao sighed secretly in his heart.

"But--"

Chen Hui suddenly closed the book, her eyes showing a different emotion than usual: "But if I study with my eldest and second sister, will my aunt still be in a hurry to find a partner for me? Every time she mentions you, she always says you I will become a decent college student in the future, and maybe I can visit my ancestors’ graves..."

Ancestral graves.

Chen Chao's heart trembled suddenly.

She remembered that women were usually not allowed to visit their ancestors' graves, but there was an unwritten rule in their villages and nearby villages. Whoever's children were admitted to college had to go to their ancestors' graves to worship.

There are no men in the Chen family, so maybe we can make an exception in the future, but who made the rule that women cannot visit ancestral graves? Why?

Only then did Chen Chao suddenly realize that they had been living in a cage since childhood...a huge cage.

You can't see it, but when you're born as a girl, you run into the edge of the cage wherever you go.

Chen Chao didn't know how much it would cost to destroy this edge. He could tell with his toes that it should be big, otherwise the woman would have broken through the shackles long ago.

She didn't know how to explain it from the beginning.

She could only say: "Hui, when you think you like something in the future, think more about whether you really like it, or whether you like it because someone else told you you should like it."

"Yes." Chen Hui nodded as if she understood something. She flipped through a few pages of the romance novel in her hand and hurriedly turned to the end.

After roughly understanding what was written at the end, Chen Hui closed the book and carefully placed it aside for fear of getting dirty or wrinkled.

Fu Cangzhao chuckled and said, "Your little sister doesn't have the patience to look down either!"

Chen Chao was silent, hugging his drowsy younger sister, and glanced at his younger sister Chen Zhi, who was lying on the bed writing something.

The thin boy was immersed in the world he had built and couldn't extricate himself for a while.

Maybe, my little sister will like to read the articles written by Chen Zhi.

Spring is almost here.

In addition to the existing training items, Fu Cangzhao also added another item for Chen Chao: morning exercise.

It's not just about exercising, it's about practicing self-defense skills so that you can get a chance to escape when you encounter bad guys when you go out.

The night after returning from the competition rewards, Fu Cangzhao told Chen Chao that rural areas are extremely misogynistic.

The opportunity is given to men but not to women, and the price is given to women but not to men.

<divclass="contentadv">Girls traveling alone can easily run into bad guys, so Chen Chao needs to learn to fight back quickly and escape.

However, after practicing for a short period of time, Chen Chao felt that it would not be surprising even if he knocked down a big man. This seemed to exceed the scope of "self-defense", right?

She asked, but Fu Cangzhao didn't answer, so he had to give up.

Starting from the second semester, students will prepare for liberal arts and science classes.

Chen Chao decided that she would be admitted to the science class when the time came, and I believed that teachers and classmates would not question her choice. After all, she is really good in science.

A few days after school started, the teacher handed out the test paper with a wicked smile, and then took it back amidst the wailing of the students after the bell rang.

"Classmate Chen Chao, come to the office with the teacher." The math teacher was a somewhat stern middle-aged woman. After collecting all the papers, she shouted towards the podium.

"Here we come!" Although he was confused, Chen Chao quickly left his seat and followed the teacher to the office.

Both teachers and students remained silent all the way until the office door was closed. The math teacher casually put the heavy test papers in his arms on the table, took out a small snack from the drawer, and then called Chen Chao over. : "Have you had breakfast?"

Chen Chao said "Hey" and replied: "I drank two bowls of porridge and ate some pickles."

The math teacher gave her a piece of snack, came up to her and said mysteriously: "Eat quickly, don't let your classmates see it!"

The usually stern woman suddenly showed such a cunning expression on her face. Chen Chao was stunned for a moment. His mind couldn't turn around for a moment, so he stupidly followed the instructions and ate.

I have to say that the teacher is really good at taking care of people. Just when he was taking the exam, Chen Chao's stomach growled. After all, two bowls of gruel and a few pickles couldn't satisfy a body that was growing and had to work hard for a long time. teenage body.

If the teacher hadn't provided a snack in time, Chen Chao would have spent another day chewing pickles to resist hunger.

After chewing the snacks in his mouth seriously, Chen Chao thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, teacher!"

"It's all trivial!" The stern woman finally showed a smile on her face. Only then did Chen Chao realize that the math teacher actually had a nice smile.

The teacher pointed to a stack of papers on the table: "Help me mark the multiple-choice questions. The answers are written on the sample papers."

Chen Chao's smile in return suddenly froze on his face.

After the math teacher finished speaking, he moved a stack of homework from the other side and started to look at it.

It seems that the teacher is indeed too busy...

Chen Chao immediately forgave the teacher for asking students to work for free, and while criticizing multiple-choice questions, he listened to people's remarks.

"When I was your age, I couldn't learn because of that period, but I liked mathematics. As mentioned above, after the college entrance examination was resumed, the first thing I thought of was mathematics.

“I knew this might be my last chance, so I decided to study hard. I learned it well and got into college.

"After graduation, I finally became a teacher. Everyone said it was an iron rice bowl. I thought it was pretty good at first, but then...

"I have led several graduating classes, and before you, I have never seen a girl who is as good at science and loves science as I am."

Listening to the teacher's narration, which seemed like casual thoughts, Chen Chao suddenly understood why she took such good care of him.

Because helping an equally talented student is like helping the teacher himself who was unable to go to school normally due to the limitations of the times.
