"You're Ah Hong's classmate?" An old voice came from behind Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen turned around and saw an old grandmother, guessing that it should be Ye Hong's grandmother, "Hello grandma, I am Ye Hong's classmate, my name is Lin Zichen, and I am from Yunhezhuang." ”

"Oh, I heard Ah Hong say that you are very good at reading." Grandma Ye Hong suddenly asked.

Hey? Lin Zichen was a little confused, and he didn't know how to answer this question. Can this reading be described in a way? Lin Zichen heard it for the first time.

"Are you going to college?" Grandma Ye didn't blindly dwell on the previous question, and then asked......

Lin Zichen didn't know why, but he still nodded.

"Do you know how to cook?"

Lin Zichen hesitated for a moment and shook his head. At this time in her previous life, she really couldn't cook.

"Girls must be able to cook, and no matter how much they read, it is useless if they can't cook." Grandma Ye's tone suddenly became a little harsh.

Lin Zichen squatted awkwardly beside the well, scrubbing the clothes on his hands to hide his embarrassment. She really didn't know how to answer this, and she couldn't answer it, there were always some unshakable thoughts in the minds of the older generation, and Lin Zichen couldn't refute it.

"Grandma, what are you talking nonsense again? Zichen, don't mind, my grandma is like this, I listen to her talk about this every day, and my ears are almost calloused. Ye Hong, who had finished taking a bath, came out with her clothes, and saw Grandma Ye chattering in front of Lin Zichen, so she hurriedly stopped it.

"I'm telling the truth, you little ones don't listen now, and when you grow up, you will regret it." After speaking, Grandma Ye bent her waist back to the house.

"Zichen, didn't scare you, did you?" Ye Hong squatted down beside Lin Zichen and asked embarrassedly.

Lin Zichen shook his head and said, "It's okay, your grandma just said a few words, and you came out." ”

"I'm really embarrassed, I didn't know my grandma would come out suddenly, she usually stays in her room." This happened on the first day when she brought her classmates home, and Ye Hong was very upset.

"You really don't have to mind, I'm really fine, it's just that the question your grandma asked is so strange that I can't relax all of a sudden." Lin Zichen comforted Ye Hong and let Ye Hong relax.

Lin Zichen repeatedly said that it was okay, and Ye Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Zichen followed Ye Hong to have a simple dinner at home, and the two went back to school together.

On the way, Ye Hong's love was a little low.

"Ye Hong, are you still angry with your grandma?" Lin Zichen asked tentatively.

"No, I'm just curious why my grandma always likes to whisper in my ear that it's useless for girls to read so many books, but I've never seen her say such things to my sister." Speaking of what Grandma Ye said, Ye Hong's heart felt uncomfortable.

It's obvious that she is not the only girl in the family, why does Grandma only say such things to her? Does Grandma just not want her to go to college so much?

Hearing Ye Hong say this, Lin Zichen gradually understood Grandma Ye's thoughts when she said those words.

Ye Hong is the eldest daughter, and there are three younger siblings below. The family's financial resources are not fixed, and the nine-year compulsory education policy has not yet been implemented, and the cost of a child's education will cost a lot of money, which is a big expense for a family that is not wealthy.

Grandma Ye felt sorry for her son and daughter-in-law that it was not easy to earn money, so she thought about saying to Ye Hong that girls should not read so many books, probably thinking that Ye Hong would go out to work and earn money to help support her family after graduating from junior high school.

"Don't think about it so much, that's what your grandma said. I guess I think the cost of studying is too expensive now, and your grandma is worried about money. Lin Zichen gave Ye Hong a brief dissection of Grandma Ye's thoughts, hoping that Ye Hong would no longer be entangled in what Grandma Ye said.

"Hey, it's a pity that it's winter, and I can only stay at home during the winter vacation, so if it's the summer vacation, I can go to work for the summer vacation and earn my own money to pay for tuition." Ye Hong sighed so emotionally.

"We're still young, and it's not safe to go out alone, so it's better not to do summer work." Lin Zichen persuaded Ye Hong. At present, many black-hearted manufacturers take advantage of the summer vacation to deceive rural students to become cheap laborers, and will withhold part of their wages for various reasons when they settle their wages.

"Let's talk about it then, it's still a long time before the summer vacation." Ye Hong waved her hand, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic anymore.

The two returned to school, Lin Zichen went back to the dormitory to dry his clothes, and Ye Hong went to the classroom first.

"Ye Hong, you are here. Hey? What about Zichen? Xu Yao saw Ye Hong coming, and asked in a cheerful tone.

"Zichen went back to the dormitory to dry his clothes." Ye Hong sat down in her seat, her mind still immersed in what her grandmother said.

Xu Yao didn't notice Ye Hong's abnormality, and talked to herself about going home with Huang Jieyan, "Ye Hong, you don't know how good Jieyan's grandma is, as soon as she sees me, she holds my hand and holds my hand, and she is affectionate to me..."

Huang Jieyan also listened to Xu Yao with a smile on her face, but after a while, she realized that Ye Hong's love today was a little wrong, and she hurriedly pulled Xu Yao's sleeve and asked Xu Yao to stop talking.

Xu Yao didn't know why, Huang Jieyan glanced at Ye Hong beside her, and said silently: "Ye Hong doesn't seem to be in a very good mood. ”

Xu Yao secretly glanced at Ye Hong a few times and also noticed it. gave Huang Jieyan a look, and the two walked outside the classroom.

"Shuzhen, come out." When passing through the first group, Xu Yao quietly beckoned to Liang Shuzhen.

Liang Shuzhen also quietly walked out of the classroom, "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Jieyan pointed to Ye Hong in the classroom and whispered, "Ye Hong seems to be a little unhappy. ”

"Ye Hong is not happy? Did something happen? Liang Shuzhen frowned.

"I don't know." Huang Jieyan and Xu Yao shook their heads.

"What about Zichen? Didn't Zichen go to Ye Hong's house? Maybe you know why. Liang Shuzhen's words reminded the other two.

"Zichen went back to the dormitory, and he came to the classroom after a while." Xu Yao said.

"Then let's wait."

"Hmm."

The three of them waited for Lin Zichen outside the classroom.

After coming down from the dormitory, Lin Zichen, who arrived outside the door of the classroom, saw Xu Yao and a few people outside the door, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What are you three doing outside?" Isn't it cold? ”

"Don't care if we're cold or not, tell me what happened at Ye Hong's house, and why Ye Hong looks very unhappy." Xu Yao pulled Lin Zichen aside and asked anxiously.

Lin Zichen looked at Ye Hong in the classroom outside the door and said, "Nothing happened, when Ye Hong was unhappy, Ye Hong felt uncomfortable because she was told a few words by her grandmother." Don't ask about this when you go in, the more you ask, the more uncomfortable Ye Hong will become. ”

"Got it. However, what did Grandma Ye Hong say that made Ye Hong so sad? Liang Shuzhen was curious.

Huang Jieyan felt that Liang Shuzhen's question was too inappropriate, so she hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said, "This is Ye Hong's family matter, so we don't need to ask." ”

Liang Shuzhen scratched her head embarrassedly and didn't ask again.

"Let's all go back to the classroom, it's almost class." Lin Zichen reminded.

The four of them went back to the classroom, and Ye Hong regained his energy after pondering for a lesson alone, probably figuring it out.
