In this way, Xu Ye naturally settled at his grandfather's house.

In order to have more opportunities to contact his mother, he volunteered to help Yao Sumei tutor for an hour of math every day after evening self-study, and said: "How can you eat and live in your house for nothing, you always have to do what you can." ”

Since he was a child, mathematics has always been Xu Ye's strength, and he didn't even fall behind this homework after joining the work. With his ability, it is still relatively easy to tutor a senior liberal arts candidate in mathematics.

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, in fact, Xu Ye's real purpose in tutoring his mother in mathematics was not to help her achieve better results in the exam, but to instill some more avant-garde ideas in her mother:

For example, when talking about calculus, Xu Ye will take the opportunity to trumpet the open academic atmosphere and strong research atmosphere of Cambridge University, and even directly regard Cambridge as the golden paradise of academic research! (One of the founders of calculus, Isaac Newton, once graduated from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom)

For another example, when talking about analytic geometry, Xu Ye simply jumped the topic and talked about the advanced concepts and romantic spirit of Western higher education.

Anyway, my mother has never been abroad, and she doesn't know anything about the situation abroad, Xu Ye simply tried his best to praise the stinky feet of foreigners, even if it was a little exaggerated, he just wanted to plant a seed in his mother's heart!

Usually, this seed will take root silently in Yao Sumei's heart and sprout secretly, and once the time is ripe, it will grow into a thought that no one can shake at lightning speed: I want to study abroad!

At that time, my father stayed in China to be his big-money tyrant, and my mother went abroad to take her path of study, although the two will miss each other because of this, but there will always be better things waiting for them in the future!

As for Xu Ye, his birth, his growth, and all his past will be erased with the change of history, except for his present!

As a four-dimensional life that has initially mastered the power of fate, Xu Ye himself is already a higher being who has cut off his own causal relationship and is no longer affected by the changes of time. Even if his past is completely erased, it will not disappear because of this, but will only become a special life form that has no past and future, only the present.

To get back to the point, in addition to tutoring his mother in math every night, Xu Ye spent more time during the day actually mingling with his uncle.

Although the current uncle is not as honest and reliable as thirty years later, it is easier to get along with, and after a few days, he is quite familiar with Xu Ye.

Yao Xuebin has no formal job, so whenever he has time, he accompanies Xu Ye to wander around the town, or goes to the nearby mountains to drink and chat.

It's a pity that my uncle has a very bad amount of alcohol, and when he gets drunk, he gets drunk, and when he gets drunk, he starts to control his mouth, and he will always pull Xu Ye to talk about everything, and say everything that should be said and what should not be said, until when he says that he is tired, he will fall into a coma.

Interestingly, every time he woke up, he had no memory of what he had done before!

So, whenever Yao Xuebin was drunk and began to pull Xu Ye to talk nonsense, Xu Ye would listen carefully very cooperatively, and even occasionally took the initiative to ask questions.

Of course, Xu Ye didn't do this simply to make his uncle happy, he recorded what Yao Xuebin said every time, and after careful screening, he eliminated those braggart and conjecture elements, and combined with some news he inquired from neighbors, he finally had a more objective understanding of his uncle and grandfather's past:

It turned out that the Yao family was originally a big family in the provincial capital, but unfortunately in recent years, the population has not been prosperous, and when it was passed on to my grandfather's generation, there was only Yao Wanqiang left.

It stands to reason that as the last hope of the Yao family, Yao Wanqiang should have shouldered the glorious mission of reviving the Yao family, but when he was young, he was not angry, idle all day long, did not do his job, and was deeply addicted to gambling and could not extricate himself!

Gambling is an extremely dangerous thing, if there is anything more dangerous than gambling, it must be to gamble in the gambling house!

Normally, there are two kinds of people who come to gambling houses: one is a fool who is whimsical all day long, thinking that he can get rich overnight by gambling, and the other is a man who doesn't care whether he loses or earns in the end, and simply pursues the pleasure of winning.

But whether it is the former or the latter, they are all gamblers, and the psychology of gamblers is roughly the same: when you win, you want to win more money, and when you lose, you are anxious to win back the money you lost.

Yao Wanqiang used to belong to the latter, and the wealthy Young Master Yao was in the gambling house for a whole day, so he had to move a bed and sleep directly in it. As a result, he gambled all the way and lost all the way, and in the end, he not only lost all his family property, but also killed his own father alive!

In desperation, Yao Wanqiang made up his mind to never mention the word "gambling" again, and took his wife and a pair of young children to this water town, and began to work hard from scratch honestly, and slowly had the dilapidated small courtyard of the Yao family.

However, fate made people, Yao Wanqiang finally stopped gambling, but his son Yao Xuebin unfortunately fell into gambling!

Yao Xuebin has been obsessed with martial arts novels since he was a child, and his academic performance has been very poor. After graduating from junior high school, Yao Wanqiang saw that he was indeed not a piece of study material, so he simply helped him get an apprenticeship job with Liu Carpenter in the town, wanting him to learn a trade.

As a result, Yao Xuebin was not in shape all day long, and was kicked out of the door by Carpenter Liu within two days.

Later, he made a group of fox friends in the town, and followed them around all day long, not doing his job, and occasionally running out of money, so he went to the dock to do odd jobs, earning two small money, and finally barely able to support himself.

Two years ago, under the inducement of a "buddy", Yao Xuebin stepped into the only gambling house located in the east of the town for the first time.

At that time, he only brought five yuan with him, and after playing in the gambling house for an afternoon with the mentality of giving it a try, five yuan became seventy, Yao Xuebin almost cried with joy, invited someone to dinner, and bought gifts for his sister, and passed the addiction of being a "big money".

Three days later, he came to the gambling house again with the unspent twenty dollars, but this time, luck seemed to no longer favor him, and he lost not a cent of the twenty dollars.

Yao Xuebin didn't believe in evil, ran to a friend to borrow forty yuan, and went back to the gambling house with a fierce attitude, intending to fight until dawn, but within two hours, forty yuan lost again, Yao Xuebin still didn't believe in evil, and found another friend of his again with red eyes·····

Since then, Yao Xuebin has been out of control, deeply trapped in the quagmire of gambling, and can no longer extricate himself.

It's just that Yao Xuebin is not the same as his father Yao Wanqiang, Yao Wanqiang was a broad young master back then, and he had silver on his body, so he could gamble 24 hours a day, but Yao Xuebin was just a poor boy.

At first, there were people who were willing to lend him some money, but later, when people knew that he was a bad gambler, no one lent him a penny again.

Therefore, Yao Xuebin usually spends most of his time doing odd jobs on the dock, and only when he has saved enough gambling funds one day will he go to the gambling house to have a good time.
