Cannon Fodder's Humanoid Plug-in
Chapter 6 The Male Lead's Fiancee
congenitally handicapped brother
Most of the Yan family's books are in the room of Yan Shu and Yan Xiaoxi.
Yan Chen slept with her parents, and the couple didn't read books, so naturally there weren't many books in their room, and there were only a few piled up on the wooden table in front of the window.
Flipping through the pages, she suddenly saw a familiar cover, Yan Shu blushed slightly, and hurriedly put the book away.
This is a lyrical novel, which I borrowed from a female educated youth in the village. It is estimated that my younger brother asked for a book a few days ago, and my mother went to her room to pick up a few copies.
Fortunately, my parents are illiterate!
Yan Shu consciously found the culprit who caused her brother to cry.
In addition, she also found Yan Chen's finished homework, which was messed up in various books, and she was obsessive-compulsive.
Yan Shu is used to tidying up the child when he forgets everything.
Sighing, she put the homework into categories and put it back in her room together with the lyric novel, so that her younger brother would not be able to find it when school started.
After finishing these, Yan Shu took out the scarf that was half knitted.
Originally, she wanted to sit in her parents' room and continue, but Yan Shu couldn't help smiling when she thought of how little grown-ups her younger brother had been telling her to take care of her eyes, and went to the main room and sat down by the door.
The setting sun gradually turned the white snow into orange red.
The family members who went to the county to buy new year's goods also came back.
Yan Shu heard the sound and went to meet her, only to see Liu Shi, Fang Shi, and Yan Xiaoxi walking in front.
They carried some light bags in their hands, and they also had things in their panniers.Father Yan and Uncle Yan walked behind. There is no doubt that the two of them were coolies who made a special trip to carry the bags.
The key lies in Grandma Yan.
The old lady's feet were blown by the wind, her face was full of anger, she looked like she wished she could come back to get a kitchen knife, and then go out to find someone to make gestures with.
What's wrong?Isn't it fine when you go out in the morning?Yan Shu questioned Yan Xiaoxi with his eyes, and Yan Xiaoxi shook his head silently at her.
But Grandma Yan is not someone who can hold back: "What do you mean by her? Ah, we have such a large group of people, so she has the right to pretend she can't see it, right?"
"How many years has Xiaohua been married? Only two years!"
"The head of the house doesn't say anything to her son, but she herself is in a hurry..."
While helping to unload and organize things, Yan Shu gradually figured out what happened amidst Grandma Yan's dissatisfied thoughts.
Uncle Yan's eldest daughter, Yan Xiaohua, is also her and Yanchen's eldest sister, and married into the Ma family in the small mountain village next door two years ago.
At that time, her mother-in-law, Miao Zhufeng, was very friendly to the Yan family.
However, two years later, Yan Xiaohua has not been pregnant.
Correspondingly, Miao Zhufeng's attitude towards her daughter-in-law gradually cooled down, and towards the Yan family, her eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not her nose.
Today the family went out to buy New Year's goods, and met Miao Zhufeng who was also out in the town, and Yan Xiaohua's sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
Grandma Yan originally wanted to go up to say a few words of greeting and ask why Xiao Hua didn't come with her.
The results of it?The other party looked like they didn't see them at all, and walked away without raising their eyelids twice.
Saying ignore, is not completely ignoring.
is intentional.
"Wait for the Chinese New Year! I have to ask my father-in-law for an explanation!" After Ren thought about it for a while, Grandma Yan put down her harsh words.
There are three men in the Ma family, the head of the family is Ma Dahong, and Yan Xiaohua married his eldest son, Ma Chaoxing.
The father and son were reasonably sensible. Whenever the Yan family visited, they suppressed them. Miao Zhufeng had no choice but to put on a smiling face to greet them, so the relationship between the two families has always been relatively harmonious.
This is really the first time today.
No wonder Grandma Yan is so angry.
She had only been to Ma's house two months ago and brought a lot of things there.
Although it is not very expensive, it is also a first-class favor in this area-who can take the initiative to send so many things to the granddaughter-in-law's family who married out?
At that time, Miao Zhufeng yelled joyously at one mouthful and one in-laws!
Yan Shu felt strange: "Grandma, why don't they bring eldest sister with them when they come out to buy new year's goods? Why don't you and eldest aunt go to see eldest sister tomorrow?"
"Where are you going? The Chinese New Year is only a few days away."
Grandma Yan waved her hand and refused: "Wait until the New Year's greetings! Don't worry about it, your eldest sister's life is more comfortable than ours. The Miao family dared to show our family a cold face when her husband was away."
Old lady is an understatement.
Yan Shu looked at Fang Shi, and saw that she didn't show any worry, so she was a little relieved.
Grandma and the eldest aunt are the most frequent visitors to Ma's house, so they naturally know the situation of the eldest sister better than her.
They are not in a hurry, and there should be nothing wrong with the eldest sister.
After complaining and packing up all the things she bought, Grandma Yan asked, "Where's Chenchen?"
"Chenchen is asleep." Yan Shu said.
While hesitating whether to tell Grandma what happened today, Grandma Yan nodded and asked her to wake Yan Chen up.
"I just came back and met Mr. Jiang on the way..."
Teacher Jiang is an old man in his sixties. He teaches in Gaojiacun Primary School. He has no children. He takes care of Yan Chen a lot. Yan Shu is also one of his students.
Influenced by her deceased husband, Grandma Yan respected cultural people very much, and Mr. Jiang was also a neighbor of Yan's family in Gaojia Village, who had a rare close relationship.
"He too, at such an age, he still has a stubborn temper!"
"Let him celebrate the New Year with us. If he refuses, it's fine. I said we'll help him buy whatever he wants, but he won't."
"There is so much snow on the road, how dare you go out alone!"
Grandma Yan shook her head again and again, sighed and criticized: "If your father hadn't been sharp-eyed and saw him lying on the side of the road, I'm afraid..."
When Yan Chen was woken up, he learned that Mr. Jiang had fallen in the snow when he came back from the house, and a lot of things he had bought were also broken.
"Chenchen, go and see Mr. Jiang with your sister, and comfort him well."
Grandma Yan found a bamboo vegetable basket, put some things in it, and added a few eggs into it after thinking about it.
"This old man doesn't know why he bought so many eggs."
As soon as she recalled the scene around Mr. Jiang when she found him, Grandma Yan couldn't help saying: "The egg that fell all over the floor, if it were me, I would feel so distressed..."
Taking the vegetable basket from her grandma, Yan Shu led her younger brother out.
Grandma Yan didn't go with them, she wanted to start a fire to prepare dinner.
Yan's house and Mr. Jiang's house are not far away. Both of them are in the deep corner of Gaojia Village, and there are mountains behind.
After walking two steps, Yan Chen woke up from his drowsiness when the cold wind blew.
Holding Yan Shu's hand, he glanced in a certain direction in front of the right, and vaguely remembered that there were some people who could not be approached in the abandoned cowshed over there.
In the story, these people finally left Gaojia Village happily, and they helped Ye Rui and Gao Xiaosu a lot.
Yan Chen was very curious about these people, subconsciously pulled her sister, and approached there—but was quickly pulled back by Yan Shu.
Teacher Jiang's home is just across from him.
Yan Chen obediently followed her sister to knock on the door.
Some snow fell on the wooden door, and the courtyard was silent, and there seemed to be no one inside.
Yan Shu was a little strange, she raised her voice and shouted: "Mr. Jiang—"
"Teacher Jiang, are you there?"
"Sister." Yan Chen took her sister's hand and pointed to the soles of her feet to show her: there was a thin layer of snow at the door, which should have fallen in the morning, other than that, there was not even a single footprint.
Teacher Jiang never came home.
The siblings looked at each other, Yan Shu hesitated and said, "Let's go back and ask Grandma, Mr. Jiang..."
Halfway through the conversation, a slight movement came to his ears.
Yan Chen seemed to have turned his head away. On the other side of the slope, the old man with gray hair was carefully hiding behind a big tree.
"Teacher Jiang!" Yan Chen called happily.
The old man froze, Yan Shu followed her younger brother's gaze and turned her head.
Now Teacher Jiang couldn't hide anymore, so he stood up slowly and waved at the siblings awkwardly.
He was wearing a dark blue cloth shirt, with two rough patches on the trouser legs, a pair of presbyopic glasses on the bridge of his nose, his back was a bit bent, and he looked like an old folk pedant.
The old man walked down the slope and looked at Yan Shu hesitantly.
There are no other houses behind that small slope, only two cowsheds, anyone with a discerning eye can see where he just went.
"Teacher Jiang, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." Yan Shu understood his worry and promised.
"Okay, okay, thank you then."
How could such a thing be completely at ease?But with the guarantee, Mr. Jiang was relieved anyway, put on his usual benevolent smile, and welcomed the siblings in.
Knowing that the two of them came to give him something, the smile became more real.
Yan Shu is fine, Teacher Jiang doesn't get along with her much.
But for Yan Chen, Mr. Jiang regarded him as his half-grandson.
The little guy was in poor health, and when he first entered school, he quietly wiped away tears because other children didn't take him to play.Later, Teacher Jiang couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over to chat with him, only to discover the child's intelligence.
Such an orb, even if it is temporarily dusted due to various reasons.
Teacher Jiang also believes that one day, he will get the development and polishing he deserves, and then he will bloom the most magnificent light in a certain field.
As for them, the old people who will eventually be abandoned by the times...
Do your best, do what you have to do, and wait quietly for the light to come.
——This was Teacher Jiang's thoughts before Yan Chen's accident.
now...
The past two years have been turbulent and turbulent. From the perspective of ordinary people, they may feel hopeless.
Teacher Jiang knew, however, that this was a carnival of the evil forces before dawn.The era of chaos will come to an end in the near future.
Anyway, it was discovered...
"Come on, Chenchen, eat candy." Taking out a piece of peanut candy from his pocket, seeing Yan Chen squinting his eyes happily, the wrinkles on Teacher Jiang's forehead relaxed a lot.
He decided to smash the jar, coaxing: "Is the candy delicious? Chenchen."
"Delicious, thank you Teacher Jiang!"
"Well, would Chenchen still want to eat another piece?"
Teacher Jiang smiled like an old fox. Yan Chen rolled his eyes, and instead of responding immediately, he turned to look at Yan Shu questioningly.
The latter seemed to have realized something, his heart was beating wildly, but he suppressed it and made no sound, nor could he give him any instructions.
Yan Chen followed the guidance of his subconscious mind, turned his head and blinked at the old man: "Think."
Teacher Jiang looked distressed: "Unfortunately, I didn't buy this candy, it was given by a little brother in the cowshed."
"I'm an old man, so it's hard to ask him for candy."
"But he likes children very much. If you go to Chenchen, he will definitely treat you with peanut candy."
These words were all directed at Yan Chen, but it was not difficult to find that Teacher Jiang was also looking at Yan Shu intentionally or unintentionally.
"I know that the village doesn't let you get close to the cowshed, but I can assure you that the people living there are good comrades. Will Chenchen trust Mr. Jiang?"
Yan Chen suddenly recalled what her sister said, "Human traffickers like to trick children with candy".
"Uh..." Yan Chen shook his head to get rid of these thoughts, Teacher Jiang is not a stranger!
Seeing him shaking his head, Teacher Jiang was a little disappointed, his throat rolled twice, and just as he was about to ease the embarrassment, the child said crisply: "Yeah!"
"I trust Teacher Jiang!"
"Okay, okay! Then I'll take you to their house as a guest now, let's go." Teacher Jiang pushed his reading glasses and stood up, laughing so that the veins on his skinny neck floated.
His hands were just as thin and rough.
Yan Chen's little hand was held by him, and he could feel the calluses on the middle knuckles of Mr. Jiang's right hand, which were thicker than other places, with a hot and firm warmth.
……
On the small slope, behind two rows of dead trees is the cowshed.
A barren small courtyard with earthy yellow walls, a broken door curtain covering the door panel, quiet light through the cracks in the window, revealing the secret of the people living inside.
Teacher Jiang leaned against the window and whispered a few words, there was a rustling sound inside, and then someone came to open the door.
He was a tall, long-legged young man with a resolute aura and a stern face that often made people ignore his poor attire subconsciously.
The young man was a little surprised to see Yan Chen and his brother following Teacher Jiang, but he quickly stepped aside and invited them in.
Yan Chen keenly noticed that he was looking at her all the time.
After the cowshed was abandoned, it was vacated for people to live in. There is nothing strange about it, but the inside is the same as the outside, showing a sense of poverty and desolation, which makes people wonder how the people living here live.
Besides the young man who opened the door, there was also an old man in the room.
This is a pair of grandparents.
"Come on, Chenchen, this is Grandpa Lin." Teacher Jiang introduced to Yan Chen: "There is also Grandpa Lin's grandson, Lin Qiong, you can call him Brother Qiong."
For some reason, Yan Chen couldn't say the title "Brother Qiong". In the end, he chose not to embarrass himself: "Brother Lin Qiong is good."
"En." The young man responded lightly.
He probably didn't mean to be indifferent to Yan Chen, it's just his temperament. Yan Shu followed Teacher Jiang, analyzing like this.
But still very intimidating...
Yan Shu couldn't help wondering: Is this person really like what Teacher Jiang said, "likes children very much"? ?
Yan Chen has no such doubts. Lin Qiong's tall and stern appearance, combined with his silent personality, is a handsome symbol of "people who don't talk too much" in his eyes.
"Brother Lin Qiong, you are so tall!"
Receiving the child's envious eyes, Lin Qiong pursed her lips and said nothing.
He turned his head and opened the drawer under the table, took out two peanut candies, and stuffed them to Yan Chen, receiving a surprise "Thank you!"
Patting the child's head casually, Lin Qiong smiled, and calmly withdrew her hand and sat aside quietly.
Yan Shu: "..." Well, now she believes it.
Although it was said that he came here for the peanut candy, Yan Chen's attention was quickly attracted by the books crowded in the room.
The number of these books is several times that of the Yan family, and they are piled up in every corner of the house, on the table, in the cupboard, on the wooden shelf against the wall... Some of them are simply padded with cloth and placed on the ground.
Yan Chen looked at the grandfather surnamed Lin.
The old man looked very old, older than Mr. Jiang.
If Mr. Jiang is a tree that is about to wither, then he is the yellow land that has suffered severe drought, and dense ravines are distributed vertically and horizontally on his skin and soul.
Just looking at the appearance, it is actually a bit scary.
What's more, the old man still has a heavy old air all over his body, as if his life is not long, even an adult, I'm afraid he won't be willing to approach him easily.
But Yan Chen wasn't afraid at all.
He knew that the other party was just sick.
In two years, the old man will be taken away with Lin Qiong. Not only will his illness be cured, but he will return to Capital University to resume his job and continue to shine for the motherland.
Only now, he looks really vulnerable.
"Grandpa Lin." Yan Chen greeted in a low voice, as if if the voice was louder, the people in front of him would be frightened.
"Good boy, you're so polite." The old man smiled with difficulty and waved to him.
Yan Chen walked over and saw him take out an old wooden box from the drawer.
"I've heard about you, Mr. Jiang, a long time ago. Today he is willing to let us meet a real person."
"Here, take it." The old hand stroked along the edge of the wooden box twice, and stuffed it into another pair of immature hands: "This is a gift for you, see if you like it?"
"Mr. Lin..." Seeing this, Teacher Jiang hesitated to speak, but was stopped by the old man's look.
Open the wooden box, and there is a pen lying inside.
The surprise came so suddenly that Yan Chen's eyes lit up: "Wow! Is this really for me?"
"Of course it's true. Is there any ink at home?"
Seeing that he likes it, the old man also smiled happily. Knowing that there must be no ink in Yanchen's house, he glanced at someone behind him: "If not, let Teacher Jiang buy you a bottle."
"As far as I know, he has been taking advantage of your family."
"All right, all right, buy it, I'll buy it some other day." Teacher Jiang didn't want to be outdone, but after thinking about it carefully, the reward he gave to the Yan family was indeed far inferior to the help the Yan family gave him.
He could still afford a bottle of ink.
Yan Shu hesitated for a long time, wondering if she should stand up and refuse these gifts for her younger brother.
On the one hand, she was very happy that Yu Chenchen was able to receive such love; on the other hand, she was afraid that she would not be able to return home with such a valuable thing.
Yan Shu bit her lower lip lightly, the grandparents of the Lin family obviously knew of Chenchen's existence early on, and Elder Lin even gave him a meeting gift, obviously attaching great importance to him...
Forget it, she can't just replace her brother and refuse other people's kindness to him just because he is young.
Yan Shu secretly made a decision: Seeing Teacher Jiang and Elder Lin's intentions, Chenchen will definitely have more contacts with the Lin family in the future.
To prevent accidents, she'd better not tell her family about this, then it will be even more difficult to return the gift...
However, the clothes of the grandparents and grandchildren of the Lin family are shabby, and the patching method on their bodies is exactly the same as that of Mr. Jiang. She can help them in their daily life to show her heart.
Yan Shu struggled psychologically behind her.
Before, Yan Chen didn't know anything about his sister's troubles. He was very happy when he got the pen, and couldn't stop talking.
The whole person was indifferent: "Thank you, Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Lin, you are so kind to me!"
"Grandpa Lin, you have a lot of books at home! Can my sister and I borrow your books?"
"Grandpa Lin, your handwriting is so beautiful!"
"Hey, Grandpa Lin, the words on this look familiar." And in comparison, it's somewhat ugly.
Yan Chen took out a piece of paper from the pile of books, looked carefully, and was shocked: "Isn't this my homework?!"
The author says:
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Most of the Yan family's books are in the room of Yan Shu and Yan Xiaoxi.
Yan Chen slept with her parents, and the couple didn't read books, so naturally there weren't many books in their room, and there were only a few piled up on the wooden table in front of the window.
Flipping through the pages, she suddenly saw a familiar cover, Yan Shu blushed slightly, and hurriedly put the book away.

The setting sun gradually turned the white snow into orange red.
The family members who went to the county to buy new year's goods also came back.
Yan Shu heard the sound and went to meet her, only to see Liu Shi, Fang Shi, and Yan Xiaoxi walking in front.
They carried some light bags in their hands, and they also had things in their panniers.Father Yan and Uncle Yan walked behind. There is no doubt that the two of them were coolies who made a special trip to carry the bags.
The key lies in Grandma Yan.
The old lady's feet were blown by the wind, her face was full of anger, she looked like she wished she could come back to get a kitchen knife, and then go out to find someone to make gestures with.
What's wrong?Isn't it fine when you go out in the morning?Yan Shu questioned Yan Xiaoxi with his eyes, and Yan Xiaoxi shook his head silently at her.
But Grandma Yan is not someone who can hold back: "What do you mean by her? Ah, we have such a large group of people, so she has the right to pretend she can't see it, right?"
"How many years has Xiaohua been married? Only two years!"
"The head of the house doesn't say anything to her son, but she herself is in a hurry..."
While helping to unload and organize things, Yan Shu gradually figured out what happened amidst Grandma Yan's dissatisfied thoughts.
Uncle Yan's eldest daughter, Yan Xiaohua, is also her and Yanchen's eldest sister, and married into the Ma family in the small mountain village next door two years ago.
At that time, her mother-in-law, Miao Zhufeng, was very friendly to the Yan family.
However, two years later, Yan Xiaohua has not been pregnant.
Correspondingly, Miao Zhufeng's attitude towards her daughter-in-law gradually cooled down, and towards the Yan family, her eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not her nose.
Today the family went out to buy New Year's goods, and met Miao Zhufeng who was also out in the town, and Yan Xiaohua's sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

At that time, Miao Zhufeng yelled joyously at one mouthful and one in-laws!
Yan Shu felt strange: "Grandma, why don't they bring eldest sister with them when they come out to buy new year's goods? Why don't you and eldest aunt go to see eldest sister tomorrow?"
"Where are you going? The Chinese New Year is only a few days away."
Grandma Yan waved her hand and refused: "Wait until the New Year's greetings! Don't worry about it, your eldest sister's life is more comfortable than ours. The Miao family dared to show our family a cold face when her husband was away."
Old lady is an understatement.
Yan Shu looked at Fang Shi, and saw that she didn't show any worry, so she was a little relieved.
Grandma and the eldest aunt are the most frequent visitors to Ma's house, so they naturally know the situation of the eldest sister better than her.
They are not in a hurry, and there should be nothing wrong with the eldest sister.

"He too, at such an age, he still has a stubborn temper!"
"Let him celebrate the New Year with us. If he refuses, it's fine. I said we'll help him buy whatever he wants, but he won't."
"There is so much snow on the road, how dare you go out alone!"
Grandma Yan shook her head again and again, sighed and criticized: "If your father hadn't been sharp-eyed and saw him lying on the side of the road, I'm afraid..."
When Yan Chen was woken up, he learned that Mr. Jiang had fallen in the snow when he came back from the house, and a lot of things he had bought were also broken.

Yan Chen's little hand was held by him, and he could feel the calluses on the middle knuckles of Mr. Jiang's right hand, which were thicker than other places, with a hot and firm warmth.
……
On the small slope, behind two rows of dead trees is the cowshed.
A barren small courtyard with earthy yellow walls, a broken door curtain covering the door panel, quiet light through the cracks in the window, revealing the secret of the people living inside.
Teacher Jiang leaned against the window and whispered a few words, there was a rustling sound inside, and then someone came to open the door.
He was a tall, long-legged young man with a resolute aura and a stern face that often made people ignore his poor attire subconsciously.
The young man was a little surprised to see Yan Chen and his brother following Teacher Jiang, but he quickly stepped aside and invited them in.
Yan Chen keenly noticed that he was looking at her all the time.
After the cowshed was abandoned, it was vacated for people to live in. There is nothing strange about it, but the inside is the same as the outside, showing a sense of poverty and desolation, which makes people wonder how the people living here live.
Besides the young man who opened the door, there was also an old man in the room.
This is a pair of grandparents.
"Come on, Chenchen, this is Grandpa Lin." Teacher Jiang introduced to Yan Chen: "There is also Grandpa Lin's grandson, Lin Qiong, you can call him Brother Qiong."
For some reason, Yan Chen couldn't say the title "Brother Qiong". In the end, he chose not to embarrass himself: "Brother Lin Qiong is good."
"En." The young man responded lightly.
He probably didn't mean to be indifferent to Yan Chen, it's just his temperament. Yan Shu followed Teacher Jiang, analyzing like this.
But still very intimidating...
Yan Shu couldn't help wondering: Is this person really like what Teacher Jiang said, "likes children very much"? ?
Yan Chen has no such doubts. Lin Qiong's tall and stern appearance, combined with his silent personality, is a handsome symbol of "people who don't talk too much" in his eyes.
"Brother Lin Qiong, you are so tall!"
Receiving the child's envious eyes, Lin Qiong pursed her lips and said nothing.
He turned his head and opened the drawer under the table, took out two peanut candies, and stuffed them to Yan Chen, receiving a surprise "Thank you!"
Patting the child's head casually, Lin Qiong smiled, and calmly withdrew her hand and sat aside quietly.
Yan Shu: "..." Well, now she believes it.
Although it was said that he came here for the peanut candy, Yan Chen's attention was quickly attracted by the books crowded in the room.
The number of these books is several times that of the Yan family, and they are piled up in every corner of the house, on the table, in the cupboard, on the wooden shelf against the wall... Some of them are simply padded with cloth and placed on the ground.
Yan Chen looked at the grandfather surnamed Lin.
The old man looked very old, older than Mr. Jiang.
If Mr. Jiang is a tree that is about to wither, then he is the yellow land that has suffered severe drought, and dense ravines are distributed vertically and horizontally on his skin and soul.
Just looking at the appearance, it is actually a bit scary.
What's more, the old man still has a heavy old air all over his body, as if his life is not long, even an adult, I'm afraid he won't be willing to approach him easily.
But Yan Chen wasn't afraid at all.
He knew that the other party was just sick.
In two years, the old man will be taken away with Lin Qiong. Not only will his illness be cured, but he will return to Capital University to resume his job and continue to shine for the motherland.
Only now, he looks really vulnerable.
"Grandpa Lin." Yan Chen greeted in a low voice, as if if the voice was louder, the people in front of him would be frightened.
"Good boy, you're so polite." The old man smiled with difficulty and waved to him.
Yan Chen walked over and saw him take out an old wooden box from the drawer.
"I've heard about you, Mr. Jiang, a long time ago. Today he is willing to let us meet a real person."
"Here, take it." The old hand stroked along the edge of the wooden box twice, and stuffed it into another pair of immature hands: "This is a gift for you, see if you like it?"
"Mr. Lin..." Seeing this, Teacher Jiang hesitated to speak, but was stopped by the old man's look.
Open the wooden box, and there is a pen lying inside.
The surprise came so suddenly that Yan Chen's eyes lit up: "Wow! Is this really for me?"
"Of course it's true. Is there any ink at home?"
Seeing that he likes it, the old man also smiled happily. Knowing that there must be no ink in Yanchen's house, he glanced at someone behind him: "If not, let Teacher Jiang buy you a bottle."
"As far as I know, he has been taking advantage of your family."
"All right, all right, buy it, I'll buy it some other day." Teacher Jiang didn't want to be outdone, but after thinking about it carefully, the reward he gave to the Yan family was indeed far inferior to the help the Yan family gave him.
He could still afford a bottle of ink.
Yan Shu hesitated for a long time, wondering if she should stand up and refuse these gifts for her younger brother.
On the one hand, she was very happy that Yu Chenchen was able to receive such love; on the other hand, she was afraid that she would not be able to return home with such a valuable thing.
Yan Shu bit her lower lip lightly, the grandparents of the Lin family obviously knew of Chenchen's existence early on, and Elder Lin even gave him a meeting gift, obviously attaching great importance to him...
Forget it, she can't just replace her brother and refuse other people's kindness to him just because he is young.
Yan Shu secretly made a decision: Seeing Teacher Jiang and Elder Lin's intentions, Chenchen will definitely have more contacts with the Lin family in the future.
To prevent accidents, she'd better not tell her family about this, then it will be even more difficult to return the gift...
However, the clothes of the grandparents and grandchildren of the Lin family are shabby, and the patching method on their bodies is exactly the same as that of Mr. Jiang. She can help them in their daily life to show her heart.
Yan Shu struggled psychologically behind her.
Before, Yan Chen didn't know anything about his sister's troubles. He was very happy when he got the pen, and couldn't stop talking.
The whole person was indifferent: "Thank you, Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Lin, you are so kind to me!"
"Grandpa Lin, you have a lot of books at home! Can my sister and I borrow your books?"
"Grandpa Lin, your handwriting is so beautiful!"
"Hey, Grandpa Lin, the words on this look familiar." And in comparison, it's somewhat ugly.
Yan Chen took out a piece of paper from the pile of books, looked carefully, and was shocked: "Isn't this my homework?!"
The author says:
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
