That evening, the family finished dinner. Jiang Yang was doing his homework in his seat, and he wrote until half past eight in the evening, when his sister knocked on the door and entered his room, jumping on the edge of the bed. "Brother," she asked, "Is there always someone in your class who bullies Chen Yue?" ”

Jiang Yang raised his head and glanced at his sister strangely, then thought about it briefly and said, "He has never liked to talk, Xiao Ai, you know, he is very timid, so he will inevitably be ridiculed by some classmates in the class." ”

"How often?"

"No, not often."

My sister fell into deep thought.

Jiang Yang, who was sitting on the desk, put down his pen, looked at her in confusion, and then smiled and said, "Ah! It's weird! It was an eye-opener for me, my mischievous, arrogant sister to ask her friends how they were doing at school. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his sister interrupted his thoughts in time, "I already care about my friends. She said.

"That's why you forgot about my brother?"

"Not really."

"Okay, okay, my sister is the best."

"That's pretty much it."

"So..."Jiang Yang lowered his head again and began his homework, "Can I ask you out now, let me concentrate on my homework." After listening to this, my sister ignored it. Instead, he immediately jumped out of bed, rushed to Jiang Yang's desk, and looked down at his homework book below. "Ahh Brother copy the answer! She shouted.

"Shh Jiang Yang immediately pulled back the paper that was clipped under the book, "It's okay to be quiet, my own sister." ”

"Humph!"

"Okay, okay Xiao Ai," Jiang Yang said and stood up, walked out of the door, and looked around outside his parents' bedroom and living room to make sure that his father didn't come over before returning to his room. He saw his sister sitting on his bed again, looking at him triumphantly.

"I'll admit I lost, stay with me as long as you want, okay?"

"It's long overdue."

It was almost 9 o'clock break, and Jiang Yang packed up his homework in his schoolbag. He turned his face away from his sister and saw her lying sideways on his bed, her eyes facing the ceiling, her expression blank, as if she was thinking about something.

"Wayward sister, it's time to go back to sleep." After Jiang Yang finished sorting out his schoolbag, he came to the bedside and said.

"What time is it?" The younger sister came back to her senses and immediately got up and asked him.

"I didn't look at the clock, but the homework is finished, it's definitely not early, you hurry back to your room to rest, I'm going to wash my feet." Jiang Yang gave a word of advice and left the room.

When he returned, he found his sister still in his room, sitting there with her head down. "I said sister," Jiang Yang said angrily, "good sister, it's time to go back to sleep." ”

"Huh? Yeah. My sister looked up suddenly, and hurriedly got out of bed and walked out of the room, "Good night brother." ”

"Good night."

The next morning, the two children went to school side by side as usual. Walking on the road to the village, Chen Yue felt in her pocket and suddenly handed her hand towards Jiang Yang. "Here you go." He said.

"What is this?" Jiang Yang asked confusedly.

"I gave it back to Xiao Ai, she lent me a dollar last time." Chen Yue explained.

"Okay" Jiang Yang took it, but immediately felt that it was wrong, "I borrowed a piece from you?" Then why did you give me two dollars? He asked.

"It's nothing," Chen Yue scratched her head, "Another dollar is considered a thank you gift." He replied.

"What more thanks? Bring sand to the beach. Since I borrowed a piece from you, you just have to pay her back. Jiang Yang said as he took one of the two banknotes stacked together and returned it to him. He confiscated it.

"Anyway, I beg you to pass on a piece of thanks to me."

"There's no need for Chen Yue," Jiang Yang put a banknote in his pocket, and another one was still in his hand.

"No, I can't take it, or it's a crime." Chen Yue stuffed her hand tightly in her pocket and refused to accept it. Seeing Chen Yue's serious attitude, he had no choice but to agree to him. "Okay, I'll return it to my sister when I go back at noon, and I can convey your gratitude."

"Hmm."

At noon, when he returned home, the first thing Jiang Yang did was to approach his sister and whisper in her ear, "Come on." ”

"What's the matter, brother, I still want to talk about it in your room." After entering the house, my sister asked.

"Take it." Jiang Yang took out the two banknotes that Chen Yue gave him in the morning, "I don't know when you lent Chen Yue, but since he said that he had, then I will guarantee that there will be one, and he will pay you back." ”

Hearing what his brother said, his sister hurriedly pushed away his outstretched hand and refused, "Don't, I don't want this money." ”

"Didn't you lend him money? Did he misremember? No, I don't think he was that careless. ”

"Anyway, I don't want me back, you can pay him back the money in the afternoon."

When my sister said this, Jiang Yang pondered for a while, and didn't want him to return me: that is, there was indeed a loan.

"If you have lent him money, why don't you come back?"

"He doesn't owe me, why should I pay him back?" The younger sister asked with a pout, as if she was a little unhappy on her face.

"Xiao Ai, can you explain what you owe you, you seem to say that borrowing some money is a very important and terrible thing. The problem is simple, you lend him money, and you pay it back, which should be a matter of course. How did it get to you, the problem became complicated? Take it, Chen Yue wants me to thank you specially. ”

"I don't care, I don't want it, besides, why are you two dollars here, I only gave him one."

"You get to the point, this extra dollar is a thank you gift from you for helping him. How's that, it's good, and I made a %100 profit. Jiang Yang said with a smile, but after looking at his sister's stunned and serious expression, he immediately withdrew his smile.

"Xiao Ai?"

She looked a little angry, and immediately opened the door, "No more talk, return the money to him in the afternoon." With that, she hurriedly left her brother's room.

Jiang Yang stood there and sighed deeply, then smiled gently.

They were still walking together on the way to school, but this time the situation was reversed: it was Jiang Yang who felt in his pocket and handed the money to Chen Yue.

"Take it back, my sister doesn't want it." Jiang Yang said.

"Don't? Why? ”

Jiang Yang had long expected him to ask such a question. "How do I know why, she said you don't owe her, why should she?"

"It's weird, I borrowed her a dollar yesterday."

"yes, I think it's weird too. My sister doesn't want it, so I'll have to pay it back to you. ”

"No, no, no, how can I go back on my word."

With that, the two stood on the side of the road. Jiang Yang put up the two banknotes and looked them into Chen Yue's eyes, "Really?" He asked, almost incomprehensibly.

"Absolutely not!"

A modest duo. Jiang Yang was puzzled and even surprised. There are still people who don't want to go with money, and my sister strongly refuses, but Chen Yue resolutely refuses. He really hadn't seen it.

"You don't want it, and neither does my sister. So who should these two dollars belong to? Jiang Yang looked at the banknote in his hand and said to himself.

"Of course it should belong to your sister, please, you can return it to her for me."

Jiang Yang shook his head. He knew much more about his sister than Chen Yue, and he didn't think she would change her mind easily as far as he talked to her at noon today. But he was already thinking in his heart that there must be some story in it that he didn't know, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became. "Okay Chen Yue, let me ask you," he didn't force Chen Yue and put the money back in his pocket. But immediately began to ask, "When did my sister borrow your money, how did I not know?" ”

When they asked this, they began to walk towards the school.

"It was yesterday, yesterday afternoon."

"What time is the afternoon?"

"Two o'clock," Chen Yue said, her face flushed.

"Isn't it class at two o'clock?"

"Yes—yes." Chen Yue thought hard and said, "At that time, because of the lack of money, I ran home and asked my mother for it. Who knew that there was no one at home, and I happened to run into your sister on the way back to school, so that's why..."

"Haha, I know, that's a coincidence. Let me tell you, my sister happened to have a bad stomach that day and asked for leave, otherwise you would have run home for nothing. Jiang Yang said with a smile.

"That is to say," Chen Yue also smiled in agreement, but he was worried in his heart, hoping that he would not continue to ask, asking where the money was used, why he had to skip class and run home after class, was the situation really urgent enough for him to do this? escaped the danger, Jiang Yang did not continue to ask. After laughing, they talked about other topics, things on the side of the road, and how they had recently discovered new ways to play with their pastime. After going to the street, they talked about Gu Ling again, which made Chen Yue feel at ease.
