Chapter 42

Li Rui didn't care much about his studies, but he took good care of the bookstore. In addition, Cheng Ye came here every day, so his small life was simple and fulfilling.During this period, Li Rui's mother visited him once. Li's mother now has a job, and she is helping out in Li Rui's father's factory.

She came to Li Rui this time because she wanted him to study hard and not delay his studies. "Li Rui, you're still young, and it's not too late to wait a few years to make money. Besides, the family doesn't need your money! Listen to your mother, study hard, and get into college in the future..."

Li Rui was not very interested in what she said, "Mom, isn't reading just for future use? Going to school is also for eating, right? I don't delay both sides, can you let me do something I like?"

Li Rui's mother also knew that he was not someone who could study in peace, so they were overjoyed when he was willing to study in the city.However, there were few students in the branch high school, so Li Rui could still rank at the top. Now that the teaching quality of No. [-] Middle School in the city has improved, Li Rui's grades have already been ranked in the lower middle, which looks very dangerous.She hadn't been able to pass the college entrance examination back then, so she had been looking forward to her son's admission to college, so she was inevitably a little anxious when speaking.

"Li Rui, you are such an old man, why do you still have no backbone like when you were a child? Don't you understand which is important, studying or making money? Look at your father, ah, do you want to be like him in the future? Rolling around on the construction site for a lifetime?! Are you promising anything!"

Li Rui looked at his mother's brand new dress, shiny pointed leather shoes, and even the necklace on her neck had just been replaced with a gemstone pendant, which was both expensive and elegant.He looked at it calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I think it's good to be like my dad, at least he can take good care of the family, and they can have enough food and clothing."

Li Rui walked back and forth in the small bookstore angrily. Since she came to the city, she has become more and more standard in Mandarin, and her back is straight. "It's all your father's fault for taking out such a big book. A sum of money to give you nonsense! Look, does this still look like a student..."

"Mom, do you still remember what you told me before?" Li Rui leaned against the counter and interrupted her. "You said that it would be great if we opened a bookstore in the future. I read books in it every day, and you can..."

Li Rui's mother waved his hand to interrupt him, "Don't talk to me with these things. When did you say that? If you want to keep this bookstore, just say so! Just like your father, talk around the bush, It's yin and yang, it's irritating when you hear it!"

Li Rui kept his mouth shut. He looked at his mother and talked for a while, and even mentioned that as long as he got a good university entrance examination, he would transfer a property to him.Li Rui suddenly felt that the trendy-dressed mother in front of her was a little strange. She no longer remembered beating her son with a small bamboo stick when she was living a hard life; Being able to read more books can also make your grandpa happy...

The previously unpainted face has gradually begun to be painted with fine makeup, time is changing, and people are also changing.

Li Rui stopped responding to her words, and waited for her to finish nagging before being picked up by the driver, but he just dropped off in front of the shop and walked slowly.

Cheng Ye waited for the car to go far away before poking his head out from the stairs on the second floor, "Brother Rui, is that auntie?"

Li Rui smiled at the child's frown, and beckoned him to come down, "Yes. Why, don't you think it doesn't look like it?"

Cheng Ye stepped down from upstairs wearing Li Rui's slippers. The slippers were too big and made a clattering sound, "I didn't dare to look carefully from above, but Auntie looks different from before..."

Sitting behind the counter, Li Rui simply hugged Cheng Ye on his lap, wrapped his arms around him and asked, "Why is it different?"

"I can't say it well. It seems that I have changed into new clothes, and my whole body is refreshed. Anyway, it's different from before..." Cheng Ye pushed Li Rui's head which was rubbing back and forth. "Brother Rui, stop rubbing, my clothes are about to fall off."

Taking advantage of his rest day, he washed all his school clothes, and he was still wearing Li Rui's.After being rubbed so many times by Li Rui, she looked loose and about to slip off her shoulders.

Li Rui kissed him on the neck, and then lifted the clothes up for him, "Let's go out to eat spicy fish at noon, you did well in the exam last time, it's a reward."

"Forget it, Brother Rui doesn't like fish, and I don't eat much." Li Rui took care of Cheng Ye's food and lodging here, and he always felt that he should do more to help with housework.After thinking about it, he suggested, "How about I go buy some meat and let's make boiled pork slices?"

Li Rui agreed. When he was a child, he was caught by a fishbone while eating fish, but now there is still a shadow when he eats fish.If Cheng Ye didn't like to eat, he wouldn't even order it.

At noon, Cheng Ye made it. It was a little late when I went to buy meat. There was no fresh pork, so I bought some beef tendon meat, cut it into slices, and made boiled beef.I also fried a hot and sour potato shreds, one meat and one vegetable, and I ate it with it, but it was also delicious.

In the end, Li Rui drank all the boiled beef soup. His hot head was sweating. The fan in the small bedroom was turned on early, and the small wind was blowing, which seemed a bit like summer.The trees outside are tall, and the top of one tree is taller than their building, but it covers the window sill with a lot of shade.The leaves are dark green and shiny, stretched out, full of vitality.

"It's almost summer." Li Rui narrowed his eyes and said.

Cheng Ye was not in a hurry to clean up the small dining table, and tilted his head to look at the scenery outside the window with Li Rui, and added, "Summer, it's time to eat watermelon..."

Li Rui flicked him on the forehead, and smiled, "Why did you mention the watermelon? Your sister-in-law said last time that you will be admitted to No. [-] Middle School next semester, right?"

"Well, it will be convenient at that time. Brother Rui doesn't have to go all the way to pick me up. Let's come back together." Cheng Ye rubbed his forehead habitually. It didn't hurt, but he would subconsciously rub it a few times when he was bounced. "Two days ago, Brother Rui was talking in his sleep, saying that the sandy watermelon was delicious..."

Li Rui was also happy, "You just remember this?"

Cheng Ye nodded, "Yes."

Li Rui pinched his nose and pulled it, his eyes were full of smiles.In the evening, Cheng Ye practiced jade carving at home, and Li Rui went out for a walk around the street, and bought a precocious watermelon back.Cut it open with a knife. Although it is not sandy, the melon is fresh and sweet when it is moist.

Cheng Ye went home during the summer vacation, accompanied Grandma Cheng to the family compound, and met several old ladies on the farm.Those people looked very familiar with Grandma Cheng and spoke politely. Grandma Cheng asked Cheng Ye to say hello one by one.Cheng Ye was clean and beautiful, and he was the most energetic when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, so he pleased these old ladies very much.

Cheng Ye saw the decoration of this house, and knew that this was the old lady of the cadres' family. The plaque-like decorative watch hung in the main hall had inscriptions on it.Cheng Ye saw that Grandma Cheng didn't do any work this time, she just thought that she was here to talk and relieve boredom, and she obediently accompanied her.

The old lady sitting on the right seat on the sofa looked very noble, her silver hair was combed in a neat way and well put together.She liked Cheng Ye very much. After looking at it for a while, she couldn't help talking to Grandma Cheng, "Don't talk about my little grandson, even my granddaughter is crazy, and they make my head hurt when they come. You are so lucky, Cheng Ye, at first glance, he is a sensible and obedient boy."

The other few heard it and echoed it, and Grandma Cheng quickly waved her hands and said a few words, "Where is it, your family is still young, in his teens, just at the age where he loves to play, so he should be more lively. This child Cheng Ye Even if he is too honest, he will not say a word when he is bullied..."

The old lady patted Grandma Cheng's hand and interrupted her, "Don't worry, we are here for that matter. Among other things, it's okay for us old sisters to be guarantors."

Grandma Cheng felt relieved when she heard this, and thanked them repeatedly, and sat for a while before going home.

Cheng Ye didn't understand what they were talking about after listening for a whole day. When he asked Grandma Cheng, the old man brought him into the house and found a small box from the cabinet, which contained a written transfer of the house.The house on the farm has a small property right, and there are not so many procedures to transfer the house. The two of them agreed, and they went to the farm manager to talk about it, and it was over after making a record.

"Cheng Ye, your uncle probably won't be able to return the house to you, so don't blame him, he's just dragging the family... It won't be easy to support the two of us." Grandma Cheng's picture is hers. The deed of the old house where he lives has already been fingerprinted, and even the house and foundation are written to Cheng Ye.

The old man sighed and comforted Cheng Ye, "The people who took you to meet today have promised grandma to be your guarantor. Your uncle can't take this house away. It's all yours. Grandma took this house I leave it to you, the house is old, and it may not be able to last when you get married. But the foundation is there, you slowly save money, and then build a new house and marry a wife."

Cheng Ye's eyes were red, and he was speechless while holding Grandma Cheng's hand.Grandma Cheng patted him, but smiled, "Hey, I don't know if Grandma can wait until you grow up..."

"Grandma, don't say that, you live a long life!" Cheng Ye burst into tears, hugging Grandma Cheng and refused to let go.He was brought up by Grandma Cheng. Hearing these words from the old man now, he felt really uncomfortable. "me……"

"When you were young, you were only as big as a slap, and you would cry softly when you were hungry, poor thing." Grandma Cheng patted his head, and Cheng Ye had grown taller, already surpassing her. "Now that you are so tall, hehe, grandma is so happy to see it. Alright, let's stop crying. It's time for people to laugh at you. Be obedient."
