Five years of marriage, always separated [1970s]

Ye Fan said helplessly in a low voice: "Don't make trouble." Then he shouted, "Second sister-in-law, here."

Chu Fenghe came to the car: "Why are you here?"

"Because you beat Benben. He was raised by Aunt Yu little by little, how could Aunt Yu not feel distressed?" Ye Fan said, "Aunt Yu wanted to fight with your parents, and Xiaoqin couldn't stop her so he had to call me."

Yu Wentao tried to get out of the car but was caught by Geng Zhiqin, who whispered, "Listen to what the third sister-in-law has to say."

Chu Fenghe looked into the car. Geng Zhiqin and Yu Wentao were both fine. She felt relieved. "You know everything?"

Ye Fan didn't answer: "Second sister-in-law, don't blame me for scolding you. Is it worth it to argue with the child over something worth a few dozen dollars?"

"But I can't just buy it whenever he asks for it, right?"

Ye Fan had a headache: "Ben Ben's summer vacation is more than a month long, and the winter vacation is less than a month long. How much money can you spend every day? Besides, how many days will you be at home? Spending fifty dollars a day is more than you can spend in a year."

Chu Fenghe remained silent.

Ye Fan pretended not to notice that she looked like she disagreed. "The house has been bought. Benben and Huihui are well educated and will find partners easily. They won't need to spend a lot of money to get married in the future. You and your second brother are sick and the government will support you. You both have such high salaries, why not spend the money? Don't say you saved it for Benben and Huihui."

Chu Fenghe couldn't help but say: "But I——"

"They can't even afford to buy a little thing, and they won't believe you if you say that." Ye Fan said, "I'm not buying things for Dabao and Erbao because I have a lot of money. I've been very busy this year and I can't take care of them on weekends. Geng Zhiye has been missing for three days and they're like they have no parents. I have to give them some compensation."

Chu Fenghe frowned slightly, unable to understand why she had to give some compensation. She had not let the two children suffer from cold or hunger, and she had even paid for their education. She did not owe the children anything.

Seeing this, Ye Fan wanted to sigh again: "You said you love your child, but you don't have time to accompany your child and you don't want to buy gifts for him. Does it hurt your mouth?"

"They wanted a house and I bought it."

Ye Fan: "Have you forgotten how you bought the house? You bought it for them only after they promised to visit the Chu family often and not to make the elders angry. Benben and Huihui did not agree to use the house as collateral for everything."

Chu Fenghe was at a loss for words after being told off by Ye Fan, so he simply said, "Other children are not as noisy as these two."

Ye Fan nodded: "The kids next door to my house don't dare to make trouble because their parents are busy with them every day and have no time to make money. Is that you?"

Seeing Chu Fenghe was so stubborn and didn't think it was wrong to beat the child, Yu Wentao was furious: "Don't talk nonsense with her, let's go home!"

Ye Fan turned his head and glared at Yu Wentao, then turned around and asked, "Second sister-in-law, is the door locked?"

"Lock the door?" Chu Fenghe didn't react.

Ye Fan: "Lock the door and come back with me. There's nothing in your house. Your clothes and toiletries are all with me. What are you doing here?"

"No, no need."

Ye Fanxin was annoyed: "The car belongs to my father. He will need it soon. I don't have time to waste here." He pulled her in and locked the door.

After dropping the three people off at the door of their house, Ye Fan drove Chen Xiaohui home.

Tao Chunlan was preparing to make lunch. When she saw Ye Fan coming back, she put down her apron and went to the main room and asked, "Is your mother-in-law okay?"

Chen Xiaohui smiled and said, "She's so capable, nothing can happen to her." Then she said that when she and Ye Fan got angry, Yu Wentao was lying on the ground and acting like a spoiled child.

Tao Chunlan frowned: "Fan Fan, she——"

"Mom, listen to her." Ye Fan interrupted, "Chen Xiaohui, don't keep us in suspense!"

Chen Xiaohui looked at Dabao and started talking about the small pendant on his neck, saying that Chu Fenghe believed that children should not be spoiled. Speaking of the jade bracelet wrapped with gold wire that the old lady of the Chu family gave to her granddaughter, Geng Benben took the opportunity to bring up the old matter and ended up involving Yu Wentao. The Chu family said a few unpleasant words, and Geng Benben couldn't help but confront the Chu family. Chu Fenghe disliked him and slapped him in the face. Geng Benben was so angry that he smashed the Chu family.

Tao Chunlan asked in disbelief, as if she was listening to a foreign language: "Just because of this little thing that costs less than a hundred yuan?" Pointing at Dabao's neck.

Dabao grabbed the small pendant and thought it was ridiculous: "Mom, you can't blame me for showing off on purpose."

Ye Fan: "Who can blame you for showing off? If you want to blame someone, blame mom for only buying two and not buying any for your brother Benben and sister Huihui."

Tao Chunlan was unhappy when she heard this: "It's not like they don't have a father or a mother."

Chen Xiaohui nodded: "Huihui and Benben also have money. They don't buy it not because they are reluctant, but they want their parents to buy it."

Ye's father told her to say less and asked Ye Fan, "What about the Chu family? You smashed their house during the New Year, you have to give them an explanation."

Ye Fan: "Do you think the Chu family will dare to ask for it if I dare to give it to them?" The implication is that if I dare to give it to them, Benben will dare to hit them.

Father Ye was confused when he heard what she meant: "Benben came here with Dabao and Erbao a few times before. I also saw him when your father-in-law passed away. He was quite sensible."

Dabao sighed like an adult: "Grandpa, the ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight."

Ye Fan nodded, "When the Chu family just returned to the capital, Benben and Huihui liked to go there. The Chu family is more spacious than my parents-in-law's, and it is more lively and crowded. I don't know when it started, maybe because they disliked Huihui and Benben's handwriting and didn't know anything except knowledge from books, they started to give them tutoring. They are not good when they are far away, but they are not good when they are close. They are nagging every day, and they are fed up with it. Like my mother-in-law, she feels relaxed for a few days when they are not around. When Benben and Huihui want to go home, the Chu family thinks that they are close to grandpa and grandma."

Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but say, "It's normal for them to be close to each other. They were brought up by Yu Wentao. It's normal for Dabao and Erbao to be close to their parents."

Ye Fan: "In this regard, my mother-in-law is much better than the old couple of the Chu family. She has never complained about the close relationship between Dabao and Erbao and our family. Occasionally, it is when the two little ones make her angry that she nags. "

Chen Xiaohui: "Yes. Wouldn't the old couple not understand?"

Ye Fan sighed: "Understanding does not mean acceptance."

Father Ye: "I have been a teacher for a long time and I think everyone should respect them more. Benben and Huihui insisted on going home, and they may not be able to resist saying unpleasant things. Yu Wentao has a lot of shortcomings but she has brought the two children up. They can dislike her, but others cannot."

Ye Fan nodded, "More than once. You know the most serious time, they came to me directly. Benben and Huihui expressed their dissatisfaction. In the eyes of the old couple, they were taught badly by my mother-in-law, so they wanted to change them. Both sides were dissatisfied, and it accumulated over time, and it exploded today."

Tao Chunlan: "That's what they deserve!"

Ye Fan: "So we don't plan to lose money."

Father Ye asked: "Will this relationship end in the future?"

"Almost." Ye Fan said, "It's not just these things. Before, Geng Zhiye was looking at a few houses, and Huihui asked my second sister-in-law to buy one. My second sister-in-law refused and went to her parents' home to complain to them. In the end, the Chu family bought the house. Do you think Huihui and Benben would not be angry?"

Father Ye: "Your second sister-in-law is also ignorant."

Ye Fan wanted to laugh: "Dad, my second sister-in-law said that the two children were ignorant and asked for a house. When her family wanted to buy one, my second sister-in-law couldn't immediately regret it and say she would buy it for Huihui."

Chen Xiaohui muttered: "It's better to die with dignity than to suffer in life."

"What about yourself?" Ye Fan asked.

Chen Xiaohui choked.

The three little ones laughed happily when they saw this.

Chen Xiaohui glared at the three of them: "Get out!"

Dabao stood up and said, "Just go out."

Ye Fan quickly reminded: "Look at Jingjing."

Erbao pulled his little sister and said, "Let's play under the gate aisle. We won't go out."

Ye Fan leaned back on the sofa and sighed.

Tao Chunlan: "It's your second sister-in-law who should sigh."

"Second sister-in-law is a bit like her parents. She thinks I don't believe that a person of my age can't deal with a child like you. But it's not a big deal." Ye Fan looked towards the door. "If I had competed with Dabao and Erbao, I would have been pissed off to death by them. I don't care about them much, and they haven't grown up bad."

Ye's father: "Your second sister-in-law's parents have serious problems. As teachers, they don't know how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude."

Tao Chunlan: "They teach college students, but the college students are grown up and don't need them to teach according to their aptitude."

Father Ye: "That's also necessary. So they are teachers, not famous teachers."

Tao Chunlan didn't want to argue with him. "I'm going to cook. Fanfan, are you going home today?"

Ye Fan had originally planned to take his two children to live at his parents' house for a few days, but now he could only pack up his clothes and go back after lunch.

When Ye Fan got home, he saw several nephews and nieces and Yu Wentao, but no Chu Fenghe: "Huihui, is your mother back at work?"

Yu Wentao said unhappily, "In the back."

"Xiao Qin is accompanying her in the back?" Ye Fan was relieved. "Ben Ben, you have a bad temper. I think your grandma's house is such a mess that there is no place to step."

Geng Benben: "Except for them, no one else has caused me trouble again and again." What he means is that my bad temper is also caused by them.

Ye Fan: "You are right. But I still want to criticize you. How can you use a knife? What if your uncle gets angry and tries to grab the knife? You are not as strong as him, so what if he hurts you?"

Yu Wentao had just praised her grandson for his good work, but upon hearing this, she immediately said, "Don't use a knife anymore."

The moment Geng Benben picked up the knife, he really wanted to kill them. He calmed down after coming out of the kitchen, otherwise he wouldn't have thrown the knife against the wall. "Got it."

Ye Fan: "You don't have to compromise with your mother. Otherwise, when you go back to work for three months, you will forget what happened in the past few days and then think that your parents have good intentions and you shouldn't bother with the elderly."

Yu Wentao nodded: "Yes! Your mother likes to take advantage of others."

Ye Fan said, "Aunt Yu, it's not that Second Sister-in-law likes them, it's that the Chu family doesn't respect Benben and Huihui. They think they are young and ignorant. If they argue with them, they will suspect that you have corrupted them. This is the fundamental reason."

"Don't you know what kind of people the Chu family are like?" Yu Wentao asked, "Did she talk to them seriously about these things?"

Ye Fan rubbed his forehead and said, "Second sister-in-law is not at home all year round. She said that you, Benben and Huihui are doing well. The Chu family will suspect that she only sees the tip of the iceberg."

Geng Huihui couldn't help but nod, "That's what my grandparents meant. They also felt that my parents were too busy with work to take care of us, so they should keep an eye on us for them." At this point, she couldn't help but sneer, "We're both so old now, how can our tempers and personalities be changed?"

Ye Fan: "To change it, you need to work hard. I got hurt today."

Geng Huihui was speechless but wanted to laugh: "They don't think that a good son is born out of a stick, do they?"

Ye Fan nodded: "Maybe that's the idea. Think about your grandpa's age. If you don't listen in class, the teacher will use a ruler. It's only because they are university teachers that they don't want to hit college students, otherwise they will definitely prepare a ruler."

Geng Huihui: "Then I should be thankful that Benben smashed Grandpa's house to pieces today. Otherwise, they would think we compromised and would push us even further?"

Ye Fanxin said, it is very likely.

Geng Leilei still did not go back home for the Spring Festival this year. Hearing this, he asked: "At their age, can they still not distinguish between compromise and consideration?"

Ye Fan: "In their eyes, an ignorant child cannot possibly be considerate of the elders. So if the younger generation takes a step back and does not make trouble, they think that the younger generation has compromised, and they control the younger generation."

Geng Leilei couldn't understand: "They were young once too. Haven't they been misunderstood by their elders as being ignorant?"

"It's possible that they really don't know how to be sensible." Ye Fan said, "Besides, even if they did, they can't admit it for the sake of face. Otherwise, how can they educate the younger generation in the future?"

Geng Leilei: "Then there is no solution to this problem?"

Ye Fan nodded: "Ben Ben doesn't want to wrong himself, but they can't bring themselves to admit that Ben Ben and Hui Hui are doing well now, and they were the ones who meddled in other people's business before—"

Geng Huihui: "My uncle said my grandparents were meddling in other people's business—"

Geng Benben interrupted: "He really thinks that it is impossible for grandma and grandpa to find home. He said that to mom this morning, so that you all think I am ignorant - I actually asked my uncle to apologize to me."

Geng Huihui opened her mouth and said, "He—is so scheming?"

Ye Fan: "It's not a conspiracy, your uncle is just good at moral blackmail."

Yu Wentao realized it later: "So you asked Chen Xiaohui to run out and say that?"

Geng Huihui couldn't help but wonder what he said.

Seeing this, Yu Wentao repeated what Chen Xiaohui said in front of the Chu family's neighbors. Geng Benben asked, "Aunt San, will it work? The neighbors don't know us, they will definitely trust that family more."

Ye Fanxin said that he was too lazy to even call his grandparents, it seemed that he was still angry.

"It works. Because 'flies don't bite cracked eggs', and there is also the mentality of 'no smoke without fire'." Ye Fan said, "Aunt Li's children didn't make a scene, did they? If you heard Aunt Li's grandson making a scene this morning, would you suspect what Aunt Li did?"

Geng Huihui nodded.

Ye Fan: "If your grandma tells the neighbors that you two are ignorant, and the neighbors ask if you two are idlers with no education, your grandma will definitely tell the truth, otherwise she will lose face if people find out. If she tells the truth, the neighbors will think that she is too demanding of you two. Compared with the schools her grandchildren are admitted to, which are either not as good as Huihui's or not as decent as Benben's, the neighbors will think that she is strict with others and lenient with herself." Geng Leilei: "There is another point. Your grandparents want to save face, and they must think that family disgrace should not be made public. Your aunt asked Chen Xiaohui to expose this matter, and they can't stand this alone."

It was unbearable. I didn’t eat dinner, didn’t sleep at night, and felt exhausted the next morning.

The students went to the Chu family to pay New Year's greetings and saw the bare walls. The house looked like it had been robbed, so they asked them what happened. The old couple of the Chu family were too embarrassed to say anything, and the younger generation of the Chu family complained that they had run into a jerk.

These people asked where Geng Benben's home was. The old couple of the Chu family sighed and said nothing, and did not stop the younger generation from telling them the correct address.

After they came out of Chu's house, they went straight to Ye Fan's house.

When they saw a military green jeep at Ye Fan's door, they suspected they had come to the wrong place. Dabao and Erbao were playing in the aisle, and one of them asked uncertainly, "Does Geng Benben live here?"

Dabao looked at his age, less than 30 years old, but definitely not Benben's classmate: "Who are you? I don't know you."

"We are Professor Chu's students and would like to have a chat with Geng Benben."

Dabao smiled and said, "I'll help you call him." Thinking of his mother's love of reasoning and his father's being a soldier and not being able to fight with others, he went to the wing room to tell his grandmother that the old couple of the Chu family had asked a few students to deal with Brother Benben.

Yu Wentao was unwilling to accept that she had not beaten the Chu family members yesterday. Upon hearing this, she ran to the kitchen, picked up a rolling pin, and started beating the four people without saying a word.

The four people hurriedly asked, "Who are you? Why are you hitting someone?"

"I'm Geng Benben's grandmother!" Yu Wentao kept her hands busy. "You two old fools almost forced my grandson to death, and you dared to ask her students to deal with my grandson. If I don't beat you bastards to death, I'm not named Yu!"

Aunt Li ran out of the house when she heard the noise and saw two young men grabbing Yu Wentao's arms and picking up the shovels that were placed at the door for shoveling snow in the morning and starting to smash them.

The two of them were so scared that they hid away. Ye Fan's neighbor to the west ran out and asked, "What happened?"

"The Chu family thinks Benben is disobedient, so they found a few people to beat Benben." Yu Wentao has the mentality of "don't air your dirty laundry in public", but she thinks it's the Chu family's shame, not hers. After the old couple of the Chu family left last time, the neighbors asked Yu Wentao what they did and why they had never seen them before. Yu Wentao told the neighbors that Benben and Huihui made money by writing couplets. The Chu family thought the two children were shameful and came to educate them personally.

The neighbors to the west of Ye Fan envied the Ye Fan family for their good calligraphy skills and the fact that they could make money by selling couplets. They thought the Chu family was ashamed of selling couplets and thought that they "did not know the suffering of the people". Ordinary citizens hated these high-handed people the most. If the high-handed people gave tens of thousands of yuan to each household, it would be fine, but they still let people earn their own living.

The neighbors to the west are annoyed by this kind of person and usually don't dare to provoke him. But when they have the chance, they beat him up while saying, "Do you think there is no one in the Geng family? You wanted to clean him up the last time you came over," etc.

Ye Fan listened in the yard for a while and felt that it was about time, so he called Geng Zhiye out. Geng Zhiye went outside and grabbed Aunt Li with one hand and his stepmother with the other, and yelled, "Stop!"

Everyone stopped, and four of them took a few steps back and asked Geng Zhiye if he was Geng Benben's father.

Geng Zhiye: "I'm his uncle."

"Then who is she to you?" he asked, pointing at Yu Wentao.

Geng Zhiye asked: "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble at my doorstep?"

"We're not causing any trouble. We just want to have a chat with Geng Benben."

Geng Zhiye asked: "Does Geng Benben know you?"

The four of them shook their heads subconsciously, and then one of them said, "We are Professor Chu's students."

Geng Zhiye: "So it's a student. As far as I know, Benben's grandparents have many students all over the world. Every student came to see him, and Benben wanted to see them. Can he meet them?"

"You... you are making up stories!"

Geng Zhiye frowned, "Do you know why Benben had a conflict with his grandparents? He looks smart, but he doesn't even know that he is being used as a gun!" He shouted into the house, "Leilei, go to the public phone booth and call the police. They say someone is looking for trouble."

The four people's faces changed slightly, and the youngest and most energetic one among them said, "I was not scared."

Geng Zhiye: "More than three people is considered a gathering to cause trouble. The Chu family is suspected of instigating. Do you think the police will take this seriously when it comes to fighting crime and eliminating evil? You're beating up a group of elderly people over 50 years old."

The four of them were incredulous: "Who hit who?"

Geng Zhiye said: "Go explain this to the police! Leilei, give them three seconds."

Geng Leilei counted immediately: "One, two——"

The four of them were stunned for a moment and then ran away.

Dabao and Erbao, who were lying by the door watching the fun, laughed happily. Geng Zhiye glared at the two children and whispered, "Keep your voice down!"

Dabao and Erbao covered their mouths and laughed.

Aunt Li belatedly asked, "He's not a hooligan?"

Geng Zhiye sighed, "Yesterday, my second sister-in-law beat Benben because of her family. Benben was so angry that he smashed the Chu family's living room. It should not be cleaned up today. The students went to pay New Year's greetings and asked what happened. The Chu family told them that Benben was the one who made trouble."

Aunt Li subconsciously asked, "Then how did they know Benben was--" Thinking of what Geng Zhiye said, "Did the Chu family tell them? Are they still Benben's real grandparents?"

Geng Zhiye: "I guess they didn't intend to let them do it. They just wanted to scold Benben and make him feel ashamed."

Aunt Li was incredulous: "Then they shouldn't drag others into this. If they have the ability, they can do it themselves."

The others nodded repeatedly. What kind of ability was it to let others deal with their own grandson?

Geng Zhiye: "Fanfan is at home, you must be afraid of Fanfan."

Aunt Li laughed angrily: "You think Dabao's mother doesn't dare to fight with outsiders? I should have hit her a few more times just now!"

Geng Zhiye said, "I'll fight you next time."

Yu Wentao: "If you come again, I'll chop them up with a knife!"

Geng Zhiye was speechless for a moment and sighed: "A rolling pin is good, it has a wide impact area."

Yu Wentao looked at the rolling pin and said, "I can't take it anymore! I'll go to the market and buy another one."

Ye Fan came out from the yard and said, "Don't throw it away. Leave it for my uncle to mix into pig food."

"Yes!" Yu Wentao picked it up again, "Where are Benben and Huihui?"

Ye Fan: "I told them to stay in the house."

Aunt Li was curious as to why Chu Fenghe didn't come out despite the commotion, so she asked Ye Fan where Chu Fenghe was.

Ye Fan glanced at the back: "With Xiao Qin behind."

Aunt Li asked, "What does your second sister-in-law think?"

Ye Fan: "On one side are parents and brothers, and on the other side are children. No matter how she thinks, she can't have the best of both worlds. She can't give up her children, and she can't give up her parents for her children. Let's do this for now. We'll talk about the future later."

Zhang Xiaodi was also disturbed by the noise and asked, "Hasn't Grandpa Benben ever thought about the dilemma that Benben's mother is in?"

Ye Fan: "They are doing this for BenBen's own good, BenBen's mother should be grateful to them."

Little brother Zhang laughed out of anger and couldn't help but mock: "It's for the good of the younger generation again." He couldn't help but say, "Sister Xiaoqin's boyfriend's parents shouldn't do things for her good. Maybe Sister Xiaoqin is already married. These parents will interfere in the name of 'for your own good.'" Seeing his father coming out with a cane, he glanced at his father.

Uncle Zhang was so angry that he wanted to beat him up: "I did say that military school is not as good as normal school, and I didn't ask you to repeat the year and take the exam again. You can't even say it?"

Zhang Xiaodi: "You have never been out of the city in your life, and you are not young now. Your ideas are all outdated. What makes you conclude that going to a military school is not as promising as going to a normal school?"

"I-I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice!"

Zhang Xiaodi shook his head: "My family was poor and couldn't afford salt before. Maybe he ate as much salt as I do."

Uncle Zhang wanted to beat him up again: "You can beat me with ten words if I say one, right?"

"Are you going to scold me for being ignorant and talking back to my elders?" asked Zhang Xiaodi.

The words on Uncle Zhang's lips couldn't come out.

Aunt Li smiled and persuaded, "Let's talk about Benben and his grandpa's family. What are you two arguing about?"

Zhang Xiaodi: "I don't want to argue with him. He was the one who said a few days ago that I shouldn't go to military school. I'm already a sophomore, what's the point of saying this?"

Zhang Xiaozhi came out and advised the younger brother to speak less.

Brother Zhang went to Ye Fan's house to look for Benben.

Ye Fan thanked the neighbors and told his mother-in-law to go home.

Yu Wentao handed her the rolling pin and said, "Go inside first."

Ye Fan knew that he had to scold the Chu family to the neighbors. Today, Ben Ben's face was swollen, and Yu Wentao felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry when she saw it. Ye Fan knew that she was unhappy, so he let her vent outside.

As for the four people, they ran out of the alley, wondering if they were really being used as guns. But the old couple of the Chu family said nothing, they were sure they were not stupid. However, Yu Wentao's anger did not seem to be fake, and Geng Zhiye's courage to call the police did not seem to be fake, so the four did not dare to meddle in other people's business.

The four of them returned home and were scolded by their parents - it was difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, they were just students and dared to stand out, they deserved to be beaten! However, their parents also felt sorry for their children, so they asked people about the situation of the Geng family and whether their children deserved it.

Geng Zhiye was an officer, Ye Fan was a student at Peking University, Geng Huihui, who was considered useless by the Chu family, was at the Normal University, and Geng Benben was at the military academy. Therefore, the parents of the four thought that the old couple were too demanding and did not allow them to interfere in the affairs of the Chu family.

Geng Zhiqin and Chen Xiaohui were chatting while selling clothes. Chen Xiaohui heard that the old couple was instigating students to go to Geng's house. When school started, she revealed this matter while chatting with classmates.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

One month into the school term, all the gossipy teachers and students knew that the Chu family's grandson, who raised them, had smashed their house because they disrespected their in-laws. The so-called actors were actually actors from the art troupe, who might have had military ranks if they hadn't moved behind the scenes after only a few years. In addition, Benben was a college student, so the teachers and students who knew about this thought that the Chu family's old couple were looking for trouble.

Chen Xiaohui's professor knew that Chen Xiaohui knew the Chu family, and asked her if the rumor was true. Chen Xiaohui said she didn't know, but she knew one thing: the Chu family thought Geng Benben's aunt didn't know how to teach the children, but she was not only a military family member, but also a Beijing University student.

The old couple of the Chu family had said in front of Professor Chen Xiaohui before that their grandson was ignorant and made them worry about him, asking for a house at a young age, etc. Now the professor felt that it was one-sided.

When the old professor got home, he couldn't help but tell his family that the people he had known for many years suddenly felt strange, and he felt very complicated. His wife asked him what happened. He roughly told her what he had heard in the past few days and the one-sided story of the Chu family. His wife was shocked, and when she came to her senses, she told him that the Chu family bought two houses.

The Chu family is not short of houses. It is nonsense for the younger generation of the Geng family to ask for a house. What is the purpose of the Chu family buying a house?

The old professor didn't dare to think about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chu Jiashan's disguise was terrible. When he saw his students, he couldn't help but remind them to stay away from the Chu family in the future.

In late April, on a Saturday afternoon, Chen Xiaohui went to Ye Fan's house right after leaving school.

Ye Fan hasn't come back yet, so Chen Xiaohui temporarily "puts aside the past grudges" with Yu Wentao and shares with her what she has been doing recently.

Yu Wentao was happy and gave her a handful of Sanzi and poured her a glass of water.

After Chen Xiaohui finished eating Sanzi, Ye Fan came back and looked at the sky: "What can't be said tomorrow? How are we going to get back later?"

Yu Wentao: "If it's too late, I can just stay with Erbao for one night. I can also stay with Xiaoqin in the back for one night."

Ye Fanxin said, if red rain fell from the sky, these two people could get together.

Yu Wentao: "Xiaohui, don't leave tonight. I'll go cook."

Ye Fan: "It's not six o'clock yet. It's too early to eat. Dabao will have to eat something before going to bed." He is at the age of growing up, and if he eats less, he will wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

Yu Wentao: "Then I'll make some more and keep it warm in the pot. Xiaohui, let's watch TV after we finish eating."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Li came in and asked, "You haven't cooked yet? I'll come back later."

Chen Xiaohui asked Yu Wentao: "Looking for you? Then Ye Fan and I will cook."

Ye Fan: "You really don't want to go back?"

Chen Xiaohui said, "I told mom that I'll be at your house today. Hurry up and cook, and then we'll watch TV."

Ye Fan thought of the people who didn't have TVs around her coming to her house these days. Something flashed through her mind, but she didn't catch it so quickly. She asked, "Is the TV you're talking about the same as my mother-in-law's?"

Chen Xiaohui didn’t know, so she told him the name of the TV series.

When Ye Fan heard that it was indeed a TV drama about imported chicken, she suddenly realized what she was thinking. She asked Chen Xiaohui and Geng Zhiqin to cook, and asked Geng Huihui to go out with her to make a phone call and notify the clothing factory to make the same clothes as the actors on TV.
