Even though Jiujiu knew that Chen Chen was likely to give her a surprise, she didn't expect that it would be such a big surprise.
Jiujiu glanced at Chen Chen, and Chen Chen immediately shrank his neck with a guilty conscience. Obviously, he knew very well that most of the things he wrote were wrong.
With such a learning attitude, it was no wonder that he went out to make a living without finishing high school.
Thinking of Chen Chen's ending, Jiujiu stared at him angrily and said, "Erase them all and rewrite them."
Chen Chen pouted and said sadly, "I've been writing for the whole afternoon."
If he erased them all, his efforts in the afternoon would be in vain. Besides, could he still play games tomorrow?
Jiujiu was so angry that she laughed. "You've been writing for the whole afternoon. Do you feel proud?"
Hearing that Jiujiu was angry, Chen Chen hurriedly admitted his mistake. "Sister, I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
Jiujiu flicked Chen Chen's forehead and said, "Erase them all. I'll tell you."
Chen Chen was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only follow Jiujiu's instructions and erase all the answers he had written. Then he listened to Jiujiu's lecture.
Chen Chen's brain was active. Jiujiu could understand a lot of knowledge with a little help. When it came to questions of the same type, Chen Chen could solve them quickly.
Seeing that Chen Chen had finished the homework she asked, Jiujiu put away the summer homework and helped Chen Chen to wash up. After Chen Chen washed up and lay on the bed, Jiujiu told Chen Chen stories in a low voice.
In this era where TV programs were scarce, Jiujiu's stories were more attractive than games. After a while, Chen Chen fell asleep.
The next morning, Jiujiu still worked in the field with Grandma Chen until the day before the school started.
When school started, the corn in the field had grown very tall. They only needed to be watered once more and they could be harvested.
Jiujiu's parents, whom she had not seen for a long time, finally came back from overseas. Firstly, they were here to pay Jiujiu and Chen Chen's tuition fees and living expenses for the second half of the year. Secondly, they wanted to see their child whom they had not seen for several months.
Chen Jiujiu's parents only graduated from junior high school, so they couldn't do any technical work. One of them was a bricklayer, and the other was a worker in a feed factory.
The two of them hadn't been home for a long time. They were afraid that their children would be estranged from them, so when they came back, they specially bought their son's favorite chicken drumsticks and their daughter's favorite watermelon.
Once they got home, Father Chen went to cut the watermelon, while Mother Chen gave the drumsticks she had bought to the two children.
Jiujiu looked at Madam Chen's dark and thin face. She paused in the middle of putting the drumstick into her mouth. She walked in front of Madam Chen and brought the drumstick to her mouth, saying, "Mom, you eat."
Madam Chen didn't expect that Jiujiu would suddenly let her eat the drumstick. After being stunned for a while, her eyes became wet.
As a parent, her biggest wish was for her children to grow up healthily.
But now, her children had not only grown up, but were also so filial. She could die in peace.
Chen Chen, who was eating the drumstick, saw her sister let her mother eat the drumstick. She imitated her and directly brought the drumstick to her father's mouth, saying, "Dad, you eat too."
Seeing the two children so filial, the two of them didn't know what to say.
Madam Chen lowered her head, took a bite of the drumstick, and pushed it to Jiujiu, saying, "Mom has eaten. You eat."
Father Chen also took a small bite of the drumstick and said to Chen Chen, "Dad has eaten. You eat."
Chen Chen was young, so she couldn't see that her parents didn't eat much. She thought that her father had eaten, so she buried her head and began to eat.
Jiujiu knew that Madam Chen didn't eat, but Madam Chen cared about her daughter, so she could only pretend to be confused and eat.
Seeing the two children finish the drumstick, Father Chen and Mother Chen each took a big piece of watermelon and said with a smile, "Eat watermelon."
Chen Chen jumped up happily to eat watermelon after eating the drumstick. She picked up the watermelon and ate it with great relish.
Jiujiu ate the watermelon in small bites. While eating, she thought about how to tell Father Chen and Mother Chen that she hoped they wouldn't build a house in their hometown, but directly go to the county to buy a house.
This idea didn't come to her recently, but came from observing Grandma Chen during this time.
Jiujiu used to think that Grandma Chen just favored boys over girls. But during this time, Grandma Chen brainwashed her every day. She always told her that her parents weren't good people and that she shouldn't be filial to her parents in the future.
A child was a blank piece of paper. Her three views were slowly formed by the words of the adults.
As an adult, Grandma Chen should know better than anyone else what impact her words would have on her and Chen Chen's future.
But she still did it because a fortune-teller once told her that her youngest son would bring misfortune to her. For her own sake, she chose to let her youngest son's family live an abyss of suffering.
Such a person was selfish and stubborn.
As long as she thought it was right, she wouldn't believe a word no matter how hard you tried to persuade her. She would only stubbornly believe that what she believed was right.
Jiujiu could guarantee that she wouldn't be influenced by Grandma Chen, but Chen Chen was still young and her three views had not been formed yet. If someone kept saying bad things about her parents, Chen Chen might be influenced by that person and really think that her parents were bad.
But there was no hurry to say this.
After meeting Jiujiu and Chen Chen, Father and Mother Chen went to deliver the clothes and gifts they had bought for Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen.
Ever since that fortune-teller had said that, Grandma Chen didn't like Father Chen at all. Even when Father Chen came over with a carefully prepared gift, her face was still gloomy as she coldly pointed to the table on the side and said, "Put it there."
Grandpa Chen hadn't seen his son for a long time and was a little excited. He stepped forward to take the things his son handed over and said with a smile, "You're back. Now that you're back, go and rest. Have a good chat with the children. They all miss you."
Father Chen knew Grandma Chen's temper well. He told her that he was going out, and then left with Mother Chen.
After his son and daughter-in-law left, Grandpa Chen glared at Grandma Chen and said, "That was all nonsense from the fortune-teller. Did you really take it seriously?"
How could there be a mother who hated her son so much?
Grandma Chen snorted. "Why can't I take it seriously? If he wasn't my biological son, I would have strangled him to death long ago. "
On one side was his wife, whom he had supported for so many years, and on the other side was his son. Grandpa Chen was in a dilemma. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh and simply let it go.
What Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen didn't know was that Father and Mother Chen hadn't gone back at all and had completely heard what the fortune-teller had said.
Father and Mother Chen had always known that Grandma Chen didn't like them because of the fortune-teller's words, but when he heard his own mother say that she would strangle him to death, the rims of Father Chen's eyes instantly turned red. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to cry.
