Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night is pleasant.

Meng Yue took out the eggs that she usually didn't want to eat from the cupboard and walked towards Ye Fei's house with trembling steps.

By this time, everyone should have had dinner.

She has always kept Xiaokai's affairs in mind. Some time ago, because Shazhu was newly married, she felt embarrassed to disturb him.

"Ye Fei, Rain..."

A few people were watching TV. When they heard the noise outside, Sha Zhu immediately stood up and opened the door:

"Grandma Meng, it's you, come in quickly."

He glanced behind Meng Yue and saw that she was not following Qin Kai, so he asked casually:

"Where's Xiaokai? Why didn't he come?"

"He's doing his homework at home."

Meng Yue walked in and put the eggs on the table. Seeing the looks from several people, she quickly explained:

"I have something I want to ask you..."

"Grandma Meng, why are you being so polite to us? If you have anything to say, just tell us."

Ye Fei spoke first and took a look at the eggs. There were only about a dozen of them, but even with these, no one knew how long Meng Yue had been saving them.

It is not easy for an old person to take care of a child, and as a neighbor, we help as much as we can.

"Is such that......"

Meng Yue looked up at Sha Zhu, and seeing that Sha Zhu was also looking at her, she quickly said:

"Xiao Kai said he wanted to learn cooking from Sha Zhu. I wonder if Sha Zhu has any plans to take in an apprentice?"

As if afraid that Sha Zhu would refuse, Meng Yue continued:

"Although Xiaokai is young, he is very efficient in doing things..."

“Let Xiaokai learn cooking from me?

sure."

Sha Zhu said without thinking:

"Learning cooking is very tiring and requires a lot of hard work."

"Xiaokai is totally fine."

Meng Yue's eyes lit up, and she expressed her sincere gratitude:

"Thank you, Shazhu. You are so kind..."

Ye Fei frowned and thought for a while before finally speaking:

“Grandma Meng, Xiaokai is still young now. If he really wants to learn cooking, he can wait another two years.

He should study more now. Literacy and reading are the most important things.

Otherwise, you will be illiterate in the future and will easily suffer losses.”

"Well, that's what I was struggling with before. On the one hand, I wanted Xiaokai to continue studying, but on the other hand, I thought what Xiaokai said made sense..."

When Meng Yue heard Ye Fei's words, she quickly expressed what was in her mind.

She was indeed very conflicted before, but as Xiao Kai talked more, her heart unconsciously leaned to one side. Now, hearing what Ye Fei said, she quickly expressed her troubles.

"What did Xiaokai say?"

Sha Zhu asked curiously. Ye Fei looked at Sha Zhu's curious look and was speechless:

"I guess you don't want to know."

"Why don't I want to know?

Did Xiaokai tell you too? "

"You didn't tell me, but I guessed it."

Seeing Meng Yue looking at him in surprise, Ye Fei shrugged helplessly.

"You actually guessed it?

Guess what?

Tell me quickly…”

Sha Zhu was so excited that he grabbed Ye Fei's arm.

Feeling the gazes of others, Ye Fei sighed helplessly in his heart, and then said:

“Think about it, why does Xiaokai think that learning cooking is better than studying?

That’s because someone set such an example…”

"You mean me?"

Seeing that Ye Fei had no objection, Sha Zhu's expression became even more excited. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have burst into laughter.

After all, he never imagined that one day someone would take him as a role model.

Hehehehe, what does this mean?

It shows how powerful he is.

Looking at Sha Zhu's expression, he could guess what was in Sha Zhu's mind without asking any questions.

Without even thinking about it, he poured cold water on Sha Zhu:

“From the current situation, you are indeed very successful.

But in the future, illiteracy will be your biggest shortcoming.

The current policy is to encourage everyone to learn more literacy and read more.

When we were young, we experienced a turbulent life and did not have such good opportunities to read and learn to write, but it is different now.

We must follow the trend of the times and not just stay in the past.”

"Then you can't read either?"

Sha Zhu blurted out subconsciously that if a boy found a way out, studying was not that important.

"Who told you I can't read?

As a buyer, you must know the most basic words.

What's more, there is rain now to teach me to read and write..."

“Yeah, bro.

I have been teaching Ye Fei to read and write."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu fell silent, so he was the only one who remained standing still.

"Yushui, go call Xiaokai over. Grandma Meng is here too. Let's talk about the pros and cons together."

As soon as Ye Fei opened his mouth, He Yushui immediately stood up and called Qin Kai over.

Qin Kai knew what Grandma Meng was going to do tonight. When he saw Sister Yu Shui coming to call him over, he felt happy and excited.

But when he saw Ye Fei's expression, even though he didn't say anything, he could feel the seriousness in it, and Sha Zhu was not as relaxed as before, which made him feel uneasy immediately.

Could it be that Shazhu disagrees?

If it wasn't easy, grandma could just come back, why did she call me over?

In just a short while, Qin Kai had already thought a lot.

"Xiaokai, sit here."

Meng Yue waved to Qin Kai, and then pointed to the seat next to her:

"Your brother Ye Fei and the others have something to say to you..."

"Ah."

Qin Kai carefully sat down next to Meng Yue, nervously grasping his clothes:

"Brother Ye Fei, Brother Sha Zhu, Sister Yu Shui, Sister Xiao Ying..."

Although nervous, I still greeted everyone one by one.

"Xiao Kai, you don't have to be so nervous. Ye Fei and my brother just want to ask you what you really think..."

He Yushui noticed Qin Kai's uneasiness and quickly comforted him.

"okay."

Qin Kai swallowed his saliva and agreed on the surface, but he still didn't relax in his heart.

It would be strange if he wasn't nervous with all these three trials and five hearings!

"Xiao Kai, I heard that you want to learn cooking and don't want to study anymore?"

Ye Fei asked simply.

"Well, I want to learn some skills early so that I can support myself and my grandma."

“But have you ever thought that if you don’t know a single word, you are illiterate.

In the future society, illiteracy will not work.

Even though Shazhu and I didn’t learn when we were young, we are now learning to read with your sister Yushui.”

Ye Fei continued to persuade Qin Kai word by word:

"You are still young, which is a good age for studying.

If you want to learn cooking, you can wait a few years.

At least you have to graduate from middle school, right?!"
