Ye Cheng

But buying clothes seems to be unnecessary, because the next morning, Cai Jinzhi received a parcel slip, asking her to go to the town to pick up the parcel. The old woman has lived to such an age, and has never received one I didn't know who would send me the parcel. It was so fresh at the time, and I took the lady next door to the town immediately.

When I went to the post office in the town to pick up my things, what I got in my hand was a big cloth bag, which was heavy, and I didn't know what was in it.They used the scissors at the counter of the post office to open a corner of the cloth bag and looked through it. They found that they were all boys' clothes, and Cai Jinzhi understood in his heart.

After she and Mrs. Wang returned to the village, Cai Jinzhi went directly to Ye Cheng's yard, and Mrs. Wang followed. Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan were squatting on the ground playing with stones. When they saw Cai Jinzhi and the others coming, they stood up from the ground .

Several people entered the house and unpacked the package, took out the clothes inside one by one, and found a letter in the trouser leg of a pair of jeans.When sending parcels to the post office, letters are not entrained. You need to buy stamps and send them separately. Therefore, when sending things, people hide letters in various remote places to avoid inspection by the counter staff.

Cai Jinzhi only knew the word Ye Cheng on the envelope, and couldn't understand anything else, so he asked the two children to try on the clothes first. I bought two brand new sets, probably one for Ye Cheng and one for Lu Mingyuan. Cai Jinzhi asked them to wear them, and he and Mrs. Wang said they looked good.

There were some bigger clothes, and Ye Cheng told them to give them to Big Fatty and Erpang. After hearing this, Cai Jinzhi quickly called Big Fatty and Erpang over. Luo Yueling also came over, and picked out two pieces for each of the two children. Children are very happy.

Luo Yueling's younger brother, Luo Xiangyang, who came over with Luo Yueling, who had studied in high school in the town, happened to come to visit her sister's house today, so Cai Jinzhi quickly asked him to help read the letter.The letter was nothing but some greetings, and asked if Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan had signed up, and if they had any difficulties in the future, they could write to them at this address.

Cai Jinzhi asked Ye Cheng to take out a pen and paper from his newly bought schoolbag, and asked Luo Xiangyang to answer a letter for them, saying that the two children were fine when they returned home, thank them for their help and care, and the clothes received , Very suitable, Ye Cheng should go to sign up tomorrow, because Lu Mingyuan is not yet old and has no household registration in the village, I am afraid that he will not be able to study in other villages.

"Grandma, if you don't have a household registration, you can't study?" Ye Cheng didn't know this before.

"If you don't have a household registration, you can't register. When you go to register tomorrow, remember to bring your household registration book. The school will check to see if you are eight years old." Luo Xiangyang answered for Cai Jinzhi. He is kind and gentle, different from the people in their village.

"Then what should we do?" Ye Cheng originally thought that even if Lu Mingyuan was one year younger, it would be fine if he couldn't study this year and next year, but he didn't expect that there would be a household registration problem.

"Unless someone adopts him, he will have a registered permanent residence here. By the way, you can also report an extra year when you go through the adoption procedures..." Luo Xiangyang was slapped hard by his sister when he was talking. Suddenly there was no sound.

"Cheng, Auntie still has something to do at home, so I took Big Fatty and the others back first." Luo Yueling said and pulled Luo Xiangyang away with her.

Ye Cheng went to see his grandmother again, but Cai Jinzhi waved her hand, as if she didn't want to talk about Lu Mingyuan's problem with Ye Cheng at all.

After everyone in the yard had left, Ye Cheng looked at Lu Mingyuan: "What should I do?"

Lu Mingyuan squatted on the ground and touched the ashes, snorted through his nose, and said, "If you don't study, you won't study."

"No." Ye Cheng thinks reading is still very important.

Lu Mingyuan was stubborn: "If I don't study anymore, I'll mend my shoes."

"Are you stupid? What can you do after you don't study?" Ye Cheng walked over and kicked Lu Mingyuan, which he rarely did before, but Lu Mingyuan often kicked him when he was angry.

"I'm just mending shoes. I'm mending shoes now, and I'll mend shoes when I grow up." Lu Mingyuan squatted on the ground and moved in one direction, with his butt facing Ye Cheng, and then stopped talking.

Ye Cheng had no other choice. Thinking about the attitude of his grandmother and aunt just now, it would be useless to go to them again. He wanted to go to Qian Xingliang's place to try his luck, but Wang Guihua said that he was not at home and went to the field. Cheng asked where his home was, and Wang Guihua pointed him in the direction, so Ye Cheng went to wait at the entrance of the village over there.

After waiting for a long time, the sun went down, and Qian Xingliang hadn't come back yet, but his uncle Qian Shouwan came back with the hoe on his shoulder.

"Uncle." Ye Cheng called out.

"What are you doing squatting here?" Qian Shouwan had a rare conversation with Ye Cheng calmly.

"Wait for Uncle Qian." Ye Cheng said.

"What are you waiting for, Uncle Qian?"

"It's something, Madam said he's gone to the field." Ye Cheng looked at the dirt road at the entrance of the village again, but there was no one there.

"Don't wait, Qian Xingliang didn't go to the field today." After Qian Shouwan finished speaking, he carried his hoe and left.

Ye Cheng was startled, and finally understood a little bit in his heart. He raised his legs and chased after Qian Shouwan, and ran to Qian Shouwan: "Uncle, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Qian Shouwan didn't stop, Ye Cheng followed beside him.

"Lu Mingyuan, he doesn't have a registered permanent residence, and the school doesn't allow him to go to school."

"I can't do anything about this." That's what Qian Shouwan said, and his steps quickened again. Ye Cheng followed a few steps but failed to keep up. He knew that it would be useless to keep up, so he returned home dejectedly. courtyard.

He didn't expect to see Qian Xingliang sitting in his yard as soon as he went back, and Lu Mingyuan was still squatting on the ground playing with Huizi, neither of them talking.

"Uncle Qian." Ye Cheng was usually very happy to see Qian Xingliang, but today he was deceived by Wang Guihua and waited foolishly at the entrance of the village for a long time, and now he felt a little depressed.

"I heard that you want to register for Lu Mingyuan?" Qian Xingliang didn't know where he got the news, but it was probably the old lady Wang from Cai Jinzhi's next-door neighbor who went out and said it.

"Yeah." Ye Cheng nodded, squatted beside Lu Mingyuan and touched Huizi's neck.

"Cheng, listen to Uncle." Qian Xingliang sighed heavily: "This is really not something you, a child, can afford. Be obedient, send Lu Mingyuan to Old Wu as soon as possible, and he will give him Register and send him to school."

"Lu Mingyuan doesn't want to go." Ye Cheng didn't want Lu Mingyuan to go either. The two of them lived together in this yard, which was fine.

"Don't be childish, I'm leaving, you think about it for yourself, how can you treat him well." Qian Xingliang also left the yard as he spoke, leaving only Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan still in the yard Squatting inside.

"I'm not going to grandpa's place." Lu Mingyuan said.

"No." Ye Cheng readily agreed.

"I don't read anymore."

"..."

"I'll just repair shoes, and I'll be like grandpa in the future."

"..."

"Don't cry." Lu Mingyuan pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Cheng.

"Who cried?"

That night, Ye Cheng went to Qian Shouwan's house again. Cai Jinzhi and Luo Yueling didn't look very well, and Qian Shouwan didn't talk much.

"uncle."

"Don't call me uncle, I can't afford to be your uncle." Qian Shouwan yelled until Ye Cheng trembled, but he still didn't give up, there was no other way but to beg his uncle.

"Uncle, help Lu Mingyuan..."

"Stop it, stop it, why should I help Lu Mingyuan? I'm full? My own two sons can't help me, so I can help him? Don't talk nonsense, go home quickly!"

"You help him." Ye Cheng took out a small yellow notebook from his pocket and put it on the table next to his uncle.

"What do you mean?" Qian Shouwan immediately became angry, and the table slapped loudly: "You think I want your money! Get out! Get out!"

When Qian Shouwan got angry, everyone in the family was scared. Luo Yueling was about to reach out to read the passbook on the table, but when Qian Shouwan yelled at her, she immediately retracted her hand.Cai Jinzhi hurriedly went to pull Ye Cheng, trying to force him out, but unexpectedly, Ye Cheng knelt down to his uncle with a plop.

This kneeling made everyone in the room dumbfounded.

"Cheng, what are you doing, be obedient, get up quickly." Cai Jinzhi hurried to pull her grandson, but Ye Cheng knelt down again.

"Uncle, please help him." Ye Cheng still said the same words, his head almost dropped to his chest, and tears fell patter on the ground.Cai Jinzhi couldn't bear it, so he stood aside and cried: "What kind of evil is this..."

"Dad, you just..." Big Fatty Erpang couldn't help but wanted to speak, but before he finished speaking, his father yelled back: "Little poor boy knows what a fart, go upstairs, don't come down!" The two children shrank their necks and went upstairs lightly.

Then everyone stopped talking, and the room fell silent. Cai Jinzhi still wanted to persuade Ye Cheng, but this time Ye Cheng made up his mind to kneel there.

"Hey, his dad, take a look..." Luo Yueling took the passbook and looked at it when Qian Shouwan wasn't paying attention. When she saw a series of numbers on the book, she counted with her fingers. Couldn't help but yelled.

"What are you shouting for?" Qian Shouwan was angry at the moment, his nephew was kneeling in front of him, and his mother was crying beside him, but he didn't want to adopt that child, he didn't want to, and he couldn't afford it.

"Look." Luo Yueling handed over the passbook directly, and saw a long row of numbers on it, 3000 yuan, and dozens of dollars in odds, probably the interest returned by the bank.

Ever since Qian Xingliang came back, Ye Cheng and the others have lived in Old Man Wu's house. They usually help Old Man Wu when they have nothing to do, and they often bring some vegetables back from the vegetable market. Old Man Wu doesn't charge them for food. They basically have nothing to do. Other expenses, so this saves more money.

"Ye Cheng himself has money, I think you should help put the child's household registration up first, don't the two children know how to repair shoes..." Cai Jinzhi still felt sorry for his grandson.

"What do you know!" Qian Shouwan was very unhappy in his heart, but he still turned his head and said to Ye Cheng, "I'll tell you first, I just let him register an account, whether you can support him in the future , I don’t care about farts.”

"I know." Ye Cheng knelt on the ground and nodded, Cai Jinzhi hurried over and pulled him up.

"Then why are you still standing there? Go back, go back, come back quickly, Luo Yueling, what are you still doing with that passbook? Give it back to him! Are you really planning to ask him for money? Then will you still be a man in the future?" Qian Shou Wan was already angry, but when she saw that Luo Yueling was still clutching the passbook tightly, she became even more angry.

"Fuck your mother, who said I'm going to take his money?" Luo Yueling was also annoyed, not caring that Qian Shouwan's mother was still around, she opened her mouth and cursed.

"Uncle, school starts tomorrow, when will you..."

"What's the rush? Isn't he only seven years old? He will go to school next year!" Qian Shouwan became impatient, and Ye Cheng didn't dare to ask any more questions, and was dragged out of the yard by his grandmother.

"I said, why are you so heartless, kid? Don't you know that your uncle and the others are short of money? You even took the passbook to his house. If the two of them take it in their heads, what are you going to do in the future? Can't you read it?" Have you read?"

"Grandma, can uncle really register for Lu Mingyuan?" Ye Cheng was still more concerned about this issue after all.

"It will definitely be done. Your uncle is a fool. If he agrees to something, even if he regrets it to death, he has to do it." Qian Shouwan crawled out of Cai Jinzhi's stomach, and she knew her son best.

"Uncle Xiang Yang said that you can report an extra year." Ye Cheng said in a low voice.

"Don't be dissatisfied! Your uncle, you let him lie to others? If you want me to say, let him study next year. If you have money in your passbook right now, you are rich. How can you have time when you go to school?" Go out to make money? Doesn’t he know how to repair shoes? Let him earn his own tuition.”

After talking, they arrived at Ye Cheng's courtyard. Cai Jinzhi left Ye Cheng behind and didn't enter the door, so he just went back by himself. She must be very upset tonight.

"Why did you come back?" Lu Mingyuan suddenly came out from the dark place beside him.

"My uncle said that he will let you go to school next year." Ye Cheng's eyes brightened, looking very happy.

Lu Mingyuan didn't say anything more. When Ye Cheng went to sign up the next day, he pushed his bicycle to the town and started a year-long life of setting up a stall.
