Xu Ye was stunned on the spot, and he could almost stuff an egg in his mouth: in his memory, his grandfather's house had never been so lively, his uncle was always respectful to his grandfather, and his grandfather rarely spoke loudly, let alone scolded.

But now······

Yao Xuebin saw Xu Ye's surprised expression on his face, and felt a little embarrassed for a while, so he had to scratch his head and say, "Hehe, don't mind, my dad doesn't have a good temper, but he is not targeting you." ”

Xu Ye smiled awkwardly but politely and said, "Hehe, I know, I know ······"

After a while, a middle-aged man in a small coat walked out of the house with slippers.

From this person's appearance, Xu Ye can see that he should be his grandfather when he was young, but looking at his lively appearance, he doesn't look like a middle-aged man in his forties at all.

"Where is this grandfather who is 30 years younger, this is clearly a grandfather who is 60 years younger!" Xu Ye roared inwardly.

Out of the politeness of the juniors, Xu Ye introduced himself to his grandfather as soon as possible: "Hello uncle, I am Yao Xuebin's friend, my name is Liu Kai, you can call me Xiao Liu." ”

"Hey, Xiao Liu, haha, hello, come on, come on, come in and sit down. ”

Saying that, Yao Wanqiang led Xu Ye into the house very enthusiastically, and although Yao Xuebin was a little reluctant to face his father, he also followed.

The three of them came to the living room and sat down, and Yao Wanqiang first asked:

"Xiao Liu, looking at your face, don't you look like a southerner?"

"Oh, I'm from Shanxi, and I'm here to visit this town. Xu Ye casually made up an explanation.

"Tourism?" Yao Wanqiang looked puzzled, and said in his heart What is there to travel in this poor and broken small place, this kid shouldn't be a liar, right?

"Dad!" Yao Xuebin seemed to see his father's speculation, and interjected with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Xiao Liu is a master of martial arts, today I was almost caught by the group of mad dogs in the 'grain and oil store', thanks to Brother Xiao Liu's help at a critical moment, I saved my life." ”

When Yao Wanqiang heard the words "grain and oil store", his face suddenly sank, but because there were guests, he was not easy to attack.

"Brother Liu hasn't found a place to live yet, so I plan to bring him to live in our house for a while. Yao Xuebin didn't seem to notice the change in his father's complexion, and continued to speak fullly.

"Okay, no problem! Xiao Liu, you can live here, you're welcome, treat this as your own home." ”

"Oh, that's embarrassing. Out of politeness, Xu Ye said politely, but in his heart he agreed with his grandfather's statement: This was originally my home, well, my grandfather's home.

"By the way, Xiao Liu, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"Oh, I've eaten, uncle. ”

"It's okay, I'll eat some more after eating, I'll ask your aunt to make you some supper." Xuebin, come here to help. ”

After that, Yao Wanqiang couldn't help but say, and walked out with Yao Xuebin's collar.

In the kitchen, Yao Wanqiang slapped his son on the back of the head and beat Yao Xuebin to the ground:

"Little rabbit cub, don't say a word in advance when you take the guests home, do you want to embarrass Lao Tzu?"

"No, I ······"

"What am I!" Yao Wanqiang raised his hand and slapped again: "I went to the 'grain and oil store' again, did you want Lao Tzu to break your legs, huh?"

······

Half an hour later, Yao Xuebin returned to the living room with a plate of snacks dejectedly, and when he saw Xu Ye looking around in disobedience, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Don't look at it, my sister hasn't come back from self-study last night, she is a senior in high school this year, she is the most educated person in our family, and it is also the hope of my father's life. ”

When it comes to his sister, Yao Xuebin's eyes are rare and gentle, it seems that when his uncle was young, although he was a little improper, he still doted on his sister very much, and this is the only thing, and his uncle has never changed in the past 30 years.

"Hope?" Xu Ye raised his eyebrows, a little incomprehensible.

"Yes, my dad's dream was to have a college student in the family, so he pinned all his hopes on his sister. ”

“······”

Hearing Yao Xuebin's explanation, Xu Ye didn't know what to say for a while. As for why his uncle and grandfather's personalities changed drastically, he seems to have guessed some of the reasons.

That night, Xu Ye still didn't see her mother when she was a girl. Due to the journey all the way and the fact that he had been in the town for an afternoon, Xu Ye was already exhausted, and before Yao Sumei could study on her own at night, she couldn't support it anymore and went to bed early.

Fortunately, the next day was Sunday, Yao Sumei didn't have to go to school, and Xu Ye finally had the opportunity to see his mother when she was young.

The next day, Xu Ye got up early in the morning.

In his impression, his mother is a person who never likes to sleep lazy, even if she doesn't have a job, she will get up early and go out for a walk or something.

Sure enough, when Xu Ye and Yao Xuebin came to the yard with a basin to fetch water and wash, their mother Yao Sumei had already eaten breakfast and was taking a book to memorize English words in the yard.

Looking at his mother's side face in the morning light of serious study, Xu Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No wonder he can fascinate his father, it turns out that his mother was so beautiful when she was young!

It's an indescribable beauty that can't help but make people look forward to it and fascinate it.

"Hey, hey, I said, you're stunned!" Yao Xuebin stretched out his hand and shook it a few times in front of Xu Ye's eyes, and said funny: "How is it, my sister is beautiful, right?"

Yao Sumei looked up and saw Xu Ye and the others, smiled and stepped forward to greet them:

"Brother, this is your friend?"

"Yes," Yao Xuebin touched his sister's head dotingly: "Come, let me introduce you, this is my sister, Yao Sumei." This is my friend, Liu Kai. ”

"Hello, just call me Amei. Yao Sumei smiled sweetly at Xu Ye: "I heard that you saved my brother yesterday, I really want to thank you." ”

"No, it's okay, it should be, haha, it should be, you can call me Akai too. ”

Since he was a child, this is the first time Xu Ye has seen his mother sell cuteness, although it is indeed very cute, but he still feels weird and embarrassed······

"I heard Akai, are you from the north?"

"Yes, I'm here for a tourist, and I might stay at your house for a while, so I'm sorry to disturb you. ”

"It's okay, it's not bothering at all. By the way, Akai, is it fun in the north?"

"It's not fun!" Xu Ye didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "The north is not interesting at all, don't take the university in the north when you take the college entrance examination!"

In fact, Xu Ye really wanted to tell his mother that the north is very fun, not only with all kinds of beautiful scenery, but also with all kinds of delicious food! The key is that he is afraid that if his mother is moved by what he says, what if he is directly admitted to a university in the north for the college entrance examination, wouldn't the probability of meeting his father be even greater.

"Oh, actually, I don't want to go too far to go to college," Yao Sumei said with a serious face, "I just want to go to a university closer to home." ”

Speaking of the college entrance examination, Xu Ye suddenly jumped the topic: "By the way, Amei, do you know whether donkeys eat grass or feed?"

"Huh?" Yao Sumei couldn't keep up with Xu Ye's divine turn for a while.

"It's a donkey, the kind of donkey that screams, whether it eats grass or feed, you know?"

"This, I really don't know yet!" Yao Sumei really couldn't figure it out, Xu Ye was so dignified, why did she suddenly remember to ask this question?

"Then you remember clearly, donkeys eat feed, you must remember, maybe you will take the college entrance examination!"

"Well, I remember, donkeys eat feed. ”

Yao Sumei smiled awkwardly, and said in her heart that it would be strange to be able to take the exam, this is obviously the knowledge of biology, and I don't need to take the biology exam······

In fact, the reason why Xu Ye suddenly asked this strange question was because he remembered a bad thing that his mother often mentioned before:

My mother is a liberal arts student, and when I was taking the college entrance examination that year, I encountered a very strange question: Which place in Europe or Australia is more suitable to raise donkeys?

This is a geography question, and my mother knows that the intention of the questioner is to investigate two knowledge points: one is that Europe has a developed industry, mainly producing feed, and the other is that Australia's animal husbandry is relatively developed, focusing on the production of forage.

It's a pity that my mother planted this problem because she didn't know whether the donkey ate fodder or forage······
