Chapter 10 Everything is Changing (600 PK points added again)
"Did I cry? I don't remember." Luo Ye's face was full of embarrassment, if only she could be reborn to when she was three or five years old, all these embarrassing things wouldn't have happened yet.
"Did you cry? You... " Wen Xin's face was full of smiles as she teased her daughter: "Sorry to cry in front of people, hiding under the quilt at night and crying so hard that your body shakes, the next day your eyes are swollen like a peach, and even your hair can't cover it up, who is that?"
"Mom, you don't know that the little thing at Uncle Feng's house is so spirited! It only recognizes the purebred long-haired white fox dog of Grandpa Li on the mountain top. The puppies born are so beautiful they're to die for!"
After many years, Luo Ye still remembered that white fox-like dog, but last time Grandpa took it away and Dad didn't let her bring it back. Would he stop her again this time?
Luo Ye nervously glanced at Luo Zheng, who was reading the newspaper. Just as she thought her dad hadn't heard, his voice floated over: "If you want to bring it back, you can, but you have to give it a bath, take care of its poop and pee, and earn food for it by working at your mom's leisure center!"
"No problem!" Luo Ye's excited little face turned red, what made her happiest was not that she could raise a small fox dog, but Luo Zheng's change!
I think it's because she and her brother were too weak in the past, not good at communicating with their father, which made their dad seem completely unreasonable.
Wen Xin smiled and handed the stir-fried dish to Luo Ye: "Hmph, take this dish out. Aren't you dissatisfied that mom doesn't make dishes you and your brother love? Today, mom made your favorite stir-fried lotus root slices and your brother's favorite red oil wontons. Are you satisfied now?"
Lu Ye gave her mother a glance, carrying the dishes to the dining hall. Lu Zheng had just caught sight of Lu Ye's slightly trembling legs from behind the newspaper and smiled: "Still going for a run tomorrow morning?"
Lu Ye nodded: "Of course, I will persist!"
"Dad, Mom, I'm back! Ye Er, what are you insisting on?" Luo Feng entered the house, drenched in sweat.
"Keep running, bro! Set your own alarm clock for tomorrow morning, or I'll go and lift up your quilt!" Luo Ye put down the dishes and handed over a hot towel: "Wipe off your sweat, does your leg hurt today?"
Luofeng's face turned gloomy, "Yexi, do we really have to run every day? Today when I sat down my legs ached and many classmates laughed at me, asking if I had grown hemorrhoids."
"Sit down!" Luo Ye pointed to the long sofa leaning against the wall.
"What's wrong?"
"Just get down, you're down, that's it! What's with all the fuss!" Luo Ye pulled Luo Feng over and forced him to kneel on the sofa, then knelt on the carpet to massage his legs.
"Ow... Leaf, stop rubbing, stop it... Ow..." Luo Feng cried out in pain as he tried to get up. Luo Ye's face turned stern: "Brother, what did I tell you yesterday? Endure it!"
"Ow... ouch... ow..." Luo Feng was sweating profusely, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He couldn't understand why his own delicate little sister could massage so painfully?
"Endure it, tomorrow morning you'll be fine!" Luo Ye also didn't relax, sweat streaming down her face.
"Yèr......" Seeing his own sister's face flushed with sweat, but still insisting on helping him massage, Luo Feng's voice became choked.
"Brother... a real man bleeds and sweats, but doesn't shed tears. If you truly care about me... then from now on, I'll become stronger. I'm waiting for it... Brother, protect me!" Luo Ye said breathlessly, her hands still moving non-stop.
Luofeng nodded vigorously: "Mm, I'll listen to Yuer." Although he was still a bit unaccustomed to his sister's changes, he was very certain that she was genuinely good to him.
Wen Xin sat down beside Luo Zheng, "Honey, have you noticed that Ye Er has changed a lot? If it were Fang Er who was scolded like that before, she would have been so scared that she wouldn't dare to do it again. And look at her, she's even heating it up herself... This child..." Wen Xin had a worried expression on her face, unsure of how to put her words.
"Don't worry, this change is for the better!" Luo Zheng gave Wen Xi a reassuring pat on the back, his face full of relief.
"But I always think girls should be gentle, if Feng'er becomes like this I wouldn't worry." Wen Xin let out a soft sigh: "It's all because I didn't pay enough attention to Ye'er in the past."
"Yè ér is at that age where she's rebelling, don't worry too much, with a gentle mom like you, she won't go too far off track!"
"Okay, I'm listening... Hmm, you're saying that letting Yè go to the leisure center to earn dog food is true?"
"It's true, if she wants to raise it, she has to take responsibility. As parents, we can't protect her for her whole life. Wife, I agreed to let her keep it, also because I reflected on what she said yesterday."
In the past, I always thought that children were honest and didn't cause trouble, no matter what stage they reached, they could live in peace. Now thinking about it, it's not entirely true, a sense of responsibility and resilience are what they should possess!
Wen Xin hesitated for a moment: "Husband, are you hiding something from me? Before Ye didn't make trouble, I really didn't think much about it. Today, when I had nothing to do at the leisure center, I carefully thought about it and felt that your education of Ye and Feng seems to be preparing them for failure."
"How could it be? Being an official is not hereditary, I'm just making early arrangements for them!" Luo Zheng wrapped his arms around Wen Xin's shoulders: "You also know, I was pushed into this door by force, feeling too hard, so I don't want the children to take this path in the future, stop daydreaming."
Luoye, who was helping her brother press his leg against the wall, felt that her parents should be discussing something about her, but unfortunately, even with her ears perked up, she couldn't make out what they were saying. In the end, she had no choice but to give up and think, "Forget it, I'll just find out slowly on my own."
……
A week later.
Half a semester's mid-term exams are over, and Shangguan Yining rushes back to the classroom excitedly and grabs Luoye: "Luolu, how do you feel? Can you improve more than last time?"
"I'm not sure either." Luo Ye smiled: "Xing Nuo, how does it feel?"
"It's okay, I think the question isn't that hard!" Shangguan Yingnuo had a happy face, but then her small face fell again: "Luolu, you must work hard, we will take the entrance exam for the same university in the future!"
"I'll work hard!" Luo Ye didn't catch the next sentence, she had already decided to take the military school exam, and in her previous life, she was barely admitted to the Chinese Department of Haida University with a score two points higher than the admission line, and she didn't want to drag down good friends.
However, she wanted to major in science, and when her teacher and classmates found out, they were shocked.
"Tree Leaf, my uncle has opened a leather shoe factory. If you're interested later on, I can introduce you!"
Shangguan Yingnuo knocked on Zhong Chongmei's arm with a book: "Aren't you being too much?"
Luo Ye's lips curled up in a smile: "Zhong Chongmei, save that spot for yourself!" She was well aware that this Zhong young lady had taken the college entrance exam three times and still hadn't gotten into university, ultimately ending up as a worker at her uncle's shoe factory.
"You? Humph, when the time comes, you'll be begging me for help, but I won't lift a finger!" Zhong Chongmei huffed and turned her head back, thought for a moment, then got up and walked towards Pan Fang and Zhang Jinyan's seats.
