Chapter 65: A Chicken, Not a Bird
Ye Jinyan followed Ye Jinyu's voice several times before finding him, he was sweating profusely sitting on the stone, and in his hand was a "black chicken" with wide wings and trying to flutter.
"Sister!" Ye Jinyu saw Ye Jinyan quickly stand up and waved at her.
He was patronizing the chicken just now, and he forgot how to go back, and he planned to go back in the direction where the sun was setting, but he didn't expect his sister to find him at once.
Ye Jinyan looked at the black chicken fluttering in his hand and was slightly surprised.
"How did you catch it when it ran so fast?"
Ye Jinyan stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, with a proud face, "Sister, you don't understand, I used my brain to catch it." ”
"Knowing that you kid has a brain, how the hell did you get it?" Ye Jinyan smiled, but she was really curious about Ye Jinyu's method.
Ye Jinyu, who was sitting on the stone, seemed to be different from before, and the younger brother behind her was slowly growing up, and the courage and intelligence in her bones were gradually revealed. Although he is only an eight-year-old child, he is smarter and more mature than ordinary children.
Ye Jinyu scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "It's just to use your sister's method and lure it out with food." ”
The black chicken in his arms was still flapping its wings desperately, and his eyes were open nervously, as if he was frightened.
"Well, it's also a kind of wisdom to learn and apply." Ye Jinyan patted his head and complimented.
After they caught the black chicken, they immediately descended the mountain, the mountain road was bumpy and rugged, and by the time they got home, the sky had already darkened.
Ye Jinyan took out a big basket and asked Ye Jinyu to put the black chicken in it.
The black chicken struggled hard in Ye Jinyu's arms, and several times its wings slapped Ye Jinyu's face.
Seeing this, Ye Jinyan said loudly: "Throw it down." ”
Ye Jinyu nodded, and as soon as his hand was released, the black chicken quickly fled to the ground when he saw this, and was very happy, it flapped its wings hard, but its wings were useless, and it couldn't fly even if it tried its best.
Ye Jinyan hooked the corners of his mouth, and his hand quickly covered the basket on the top of its head.
"Giggles!" It screamed, but it was useless, it really couldn't escape.
Ye Jinyu squatted in front of the cage and observed it, and found that although it was somewhat similar to a chicken, its feathers were still different from ordinary chickens.
Ye Jinyan took out a few plates of leftover dishes from the morning from the pot, and shouted at Ye Jinyu: "Don't look at it, let's eat." ”
"Hmm." Ye Jinyu answered and ran away from the chicken coop.
Sitting on the wooden bench, he picked up the meal and ate a few bites, and said casually: "Sister, Mr. Yuan said that he wanted to test our learning results, so there will be an exam tomorrow." ”
Mr. Yuen would take an exam every holiday to verify their ability before deciding whether or not to continue their studies in a private school.
"Then take the test." Ye Jinyan didn't care much.
She wasn't worried about Ye Jinyu's exam, she knew Ye Jinyu's usual seriousness, but it seemed that he didn't seem to be very confident.
While eating, Ye Jinyu said hesitantly: "Sister, I think I may not play very well." ”
He had read the books at home several times, but he always felt that he had not fully mastered them, such as the Analects, which were so bad that he could have read them by heart and even memorize them in their entirety, but after a long time he would forget them.
"Believe in yourself." Ye Jinyan raised his eyes to look at him and teased, "Didn't you say that you want to win the top prize, and now you are scared of a small exam?" ”
Ye Jinyu buried her head and said sullenly: "I'm not afraid. ”
"Since you are not afraid, take the test well, you believe in yourself, and I believe in you." Ye Jinyan said seriously.
"Okay, sister, I won't live up to your expectations."
Seeing that Ye Jinyu cheered up, Ye Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's coming to the annual children's exam, Ye Jinyu's age has just reached the minimum standard for children, and she wants Ye Jinyu to try it to see how far he is from being a child.
"By the way, take a shower after eating." Ye Jinyan admonished.
"Got it." Ye Jinyu ate a lot faster.
The black chicken was locked in the basket by them, and it has been noisy at night, its sound is much louder than that of ordinary chickens, and the desire to survive is also very strong, if Ye Jinyan doesn't get up in the middle of the night to check, the basket covering it will be knocked down by it.
Ye Jinyan took a big stone and pressed it on the basket, only to see that the black chicken gradually stopped crowing, as if he understood his situation, he stopped in despair, and lay on the ground drowsy.
Ye Jinyu woke up in the morning, and ran to the cage to look at the black chicken, for fear that it would run away, maybe because he had never seen it or rarely seen it, the more he looked at the black chicken, the more he liked it, his hands supported his cheeks and his eyes were bulging.
"This black bird is so pretty." He turned his head to Ye Jinyan and said.
"Black chicken." Ye Jinyan corrected.
"Black Bird" and "Black Bird" are weird no matter how they sound.
"Hmm!" Ye Jinyu lowered her head and put her little finger into the small hole in the basket to play with the black chicken, but the black chicken is not as docile as the domestic chicken, it saw the little finger of the meat sticking in, raised its head and pecked it directly.
Its mouth was very sharp, and its movements were not gentle, and Ye Jinyu was so frightened that she withdrew her hand.
Ye Jinyan glanced at Ye Jinyu when he made the bed and said, "It's still quite fierce." ”
Ye Jinyu pouted: "Then when will we sell it." ”
Ye Jinyan turned his head to look at the bright sky outside the window, and said lightly: "Wait for dawn, by the way, have you read the book?" ”
Ye Jinyu stood up and patted the dust on her body, put her hands behind her back, shook her head and walked in front of Ye Jinyan and said, "Report, I have read it all, and I can memorize the four books and five classics backwards." ”
Ye Jinyan stretched out his hand and patted his head, "Then you must be the first in the class to show me." When you pass the test, I will take you to the mountains to catch black chicken, so that you can drink real chicken soup. ”
She knew that Ye Jinyu wanted to drink chicken soup very much, but she didn't say it sensibly, and she also wanted to give Ye Jinyu the best, but they didn't have much silver in their hands now, and if they repaired the house, they wouldn't have anything to eat in the future, so they could only sell it.
"Can you really drink black chicken soup?" Ye Jinyu's eyes lit up, he happily hugged Ye Jinyan and shouted, "Sister is the best!" ”
"Then you have to take the test." Ye Jinyan raised her eyebrows and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were extremely gentle.
Ye Jinyu picked up the bookcase and waved his hand to Ye Jinyan and rushed to the private school, when he arrived at the private school, the whole class was already full, but Mr. Yuan had not yet come.
Mr. Yuan is usually not late for class, and he dislikes laters the most, so he should be delayed by something.
"Why hasn't Mr. come yet, I'll go back if he doesn't come again, my mother will make pork ribs for me today." Du Yun propped his head with one hand, rolled his eyes, and just wanted to go home.
Ye Jinyu was very calm at first, but after a long time, he didn't see Mr. Yuan coming, and some students had already picked up their bookcases and were ready to go back.
There were not many students in the private school, and even fewer were able to stay in the position, and in the end, only Ye Jinyu and Qibao were left in the entire private school.
