He smiled kindly and said: “Grandpa still has dozens of chickens and ducks at home. I’ll help nourish your body when you return after your college entrance exams. Girls must cherish their bodies. You usually train hard, but when you’re free, you must cultivate your health, making up for the things you lost. This is the long term solution.”
Old Uncle Gen was indeed feeling worried about his home, but since he could convince Principal Chen, he was naturally able to persuade Ye Jian1.
But because Ye Jian had a knot in her heart, it took a day longer to convince her compared to Principal Chen.
After Ye Jian headed to school the next day, Old Uncle Gen said to Principal Chen: “I don’t know whose temper this lass resembles. Her mother back then was not that stubborn. I even said that I would be leaving today, It seems that I need to stay another day.”
” Old uncle, just rest for an extra day,” Principal Chen had been convinced last night, but that did not mean that he immediately accepted it. He had the same thoughts as Ye Jian at that moment, making him stay for as long as possible.
No matter how they tried to make Old Uncle Gen stay, he still headed back. Ye Jian, who was attending school, didn’t send him off. She wanted to but couldn’t hold Old Uncle Gen’s insistence.
Ye Jian, who had always arrived at school on the dot at ten minutes past seven in the morning, made an exception and only headed out at half-past seven. She looked at Old Uncle Gen, who was standing at the door, waving at her. Ye Jian was still panicking even after the night had passed.
” Study well, lass.”
Old Uncle Gen signaled Ye Jian to head to school quickly. Although this pale old man’s eyes were muddled, they were filled with the radiance of wisdom given by the years. He was smiling slightly, looking kind and loving.
The sun outside had risen, Ye Jian, who was sitting by the window bathed in the warm winter sun. While flipping through the review materials, she jotted some notes in her notebook, the faint and warm golden sunlight enveloped her, giving off a sense of quiet time in isolation.
” Ye Jian, help me take a look at this question,” A student brought a math paper over and asked humbly for her guidance, “I realized there’s something wrong in the fourth step, I can’t continue analyzing, but I think the formula is correct.”
A classmate interrupted Ye Jian’s thoughts. She didn’t lift her head, she took a pencil and corrected the error on the test paper, “The formula is correct, but you drew the supplementary line wrongly.”
The eleven o’clock train began moving; Ye Jian looked at the time and pouted. She wanted to return to the village to look on May Day, she hadn’t returned for a few years, and she wished to return to have a look.
Ye Jian was able to hide her thoughts; Old Uncle Gen had returned for some time, she didn’t reveal the slightest worry in her heart. She attended school alone and attended the army’s special skills training alone; even An Jiaxin, who was close to her, would occasionally notice she would be in a short daze.
At that moment, Ye Jian could hide all her worries to the point where someone as close as An Jiaxin could not tell. She was calculating the time, calculating the eighteen to nineteen hours needed to return to town from the province. After finishing her calculations, she waited until eight or nine in the morning of the next day to make a phone call.
Ye Jian only felt relieved after hearing Old Uncle Gen’s energetic voice on the phone; perhaps she was overthinking it.
She was able to live another lifetime; perhaps Grandpa Gen might live a long life due to her appearance.
Ye Jian, who ended the call with a smile, didn’t know that Old Grandma Ye had come over at that moment; she was sitting in the main hall, there was some meanness on her benevolent face. She put on a false smile as she said to Old Uncle Gen, who ended the call and walked out: “Brother, you need to give me an answer today. Lass Jian is the daughter of my eldest son, how could you move her household registration?”
