Chapter 31 An An Wants to Study

The little girl has a simple mind and stopped crying immediately when she heard about the new clothes.

An An blinked in Ye Fei's arms.

"Mom and Dad bought them for An An, so An An has two new clothes."

"Can you embroider flowers on it? Erya's clothes will have flowers."

Jiang Yu's eyes felt sour and he almost couldn't help but shed tears.

The clothes they both wore were old clothes that others picked up and were patched again and again. They were all patched.

Ye Fei smiled and rubbed An An's little head.

"Okay, as long as An An likes it, we will buy floral clothes and let mom embroider them for you."

After receiving Ye Fei's promise, An An was satisfied and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Let's go to my uncle's house."

The family lives on the east side of the village, and my brother and father live on the west side.

The two families are separated by more than half a village, and they rarely interact with each other after the separation.

Even if he came to see his father Ye Fu occasionally, he would ask for money without saying a few words, which made the old man so angry that he picked up the broom and wanted to beat him, and then he no longer wanted to see him again.

Ye Fei pushed the cart and drove An An to the west.

Passing by several mud houses and crossing two small creeks, not far away was my brother Ye Fan's home next to some wild pipa trees.

Ye Fei vaguely remembered that the first time he came to his brother's house after the separation, there were several houses made of straw mixed with mud, all covered with straw. They were similar to his house, but a little bigger.

When I walk in now, I see that the straw above has been replaced with earthen tiles.

It seems that with the efforts of my brother and sister-in-law, life is getting better and better.

It's just that the door of the house is closed, and Ye Fei and the others can't get in without the key.

"What's going on? Could it be that you haven't come back from work yet?"

Jiang Yu and An An Shen simultaneously opened the crack in the door and took a look inside. It was empty and no one was there.

Even my great-grandfather, who was always too lazy to go to the fields, was not at home.

"Is it possible that you went to dig the ground?"

Ye Fei said doubtfully.

Jiang Yu shook his head.

"Probably not. Kangkang should be back from school by now."

Ye Kang is the son of his brother Ye Fan, who is three years older than An An.

Ye Fei is five years younger than Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took on the burden of the family very early, so he looks much more mature.

After hearing Jiang Yu's words, Ye Fei thought for a moment, then turned around and looked around and said.

"Then let's wait a little longer. We should be back soon."

An An heard Kangkang going to school and tilted her head and asked.

"Daddy, what is going to school!"

Ye Fei held her in his arms and sat on the stone pier at the door, speaking softly.

"When you go to school, you will have many friends, learn a lot of knowledge, and become very smart."

An An clapped her hands when she heard it was so funny.

"An An also wants to go to school."

Ye Fei was amused by her appearance.

"Okay, when An An grows up, she will go to school."

An An nodded obediently, turned around and spoke excitedly to Jiang Yu.

"Mama, I can go to school when I grow up."

Jiang Yu was surprised by Ye Fei's approach. He actually agreed to let An An go to school.

In Yejia Village, few families send girls to school.

One reason is that there is no money to support education. Every household has at least one boy who needs to go to school, and there is no other money to support two.

Another thing is that the elders in the family feel that it is useless for girls to read so many books, and they might as well help the family do more work to reduce the burden.

Therefore, the situation of each family is roughly the same. The opportunities for studying are given to boys, while girls can only learn some needlework at home and help the family with farm work.

Use the money earned by girls to spend on boys.

Because for those people with outdated ideas, girls will go to other people's homes anyway when they grow up, and boys are the ones to rely on for old age.

Ye Fei actually agreed to let An An go to school, which really surprised Jiang Yu.

He did not look down on An An because she was a girl, but respected the child's opinions and ideas, which made Jiang Yu feel less worried.

Because her eldest aunt's family had been teasing her for giving birth to a daughter, and there were rumors in the village, she felt a little depressed.

But she never regretted giving birth to An An, it was her flesh and blood and an inseparable part of her.

The two sat on the stone pier and played a game, making An An laugh.

They have been waiting for almost an hour, but my brother and his family have not come back yet.

Just when Ye Fei was planning to take An An home and come back to see him later.

He turned around and saw his sister-in-law Li Yan returning with Ye Kang on the road not far away.

Along the way, Li Yan said something to Ye Kang with a solemn expression. Ye Kang nodded very sensibly, but still touched his eyes.

Seeing that the person finally appeared, Ye Fei quickly went up to him and called out.

"sister in law!"

Li Yan and Jiang Yu were both married from neighboring villages. They were five or six years older than Jiang Yu and had an honest and steady temperament.

She married and worked hard to run the family and take care of all the family matters. She treated Ye Fei as his own brother.

It's a pity that at that time, he didn't know how to cherish her at all. He always felt that his sister-in-law came from another family and how close she could be to him.

Even when Li Yan just gave birth to Kangkang, he deliberately refused to work in the fields and became emotional and troubled.

Now facing this sister-in-law who treated him heart and soul again, Ye Fei felt ashamed.

Not far away, both Li Yan and Kang Kang heard Ye Fei's shout.

Looking up, Ye Fei and his family were standing at the door of their house.

Li Yan's expression became nervous, and a subtle look flashed through her eyes.

"A Fei, Jiang Yu, why are you here?"

Li Yan looked at Ye Fei who suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but tighten her grip on Ye Kang's hand, as if she was beating a drum in her heart.

Seeing that there were only Li Yan and Ye Kang, Ye Fei looked behind and asked.

"Sister-in-law, why are you and Kangkang alone, and where are my brother and dad?"

Hearing Ye Fei mention Ye Fan, a look of sadness flashed across Li Yan's face, but she still covered it up.

"He...they all have something to do and haven't been at home recently."

"Well, Ah Fei, my sister-in-law doesn't have much money recently, the harvest in the fields is not good, and your nephew still has to go to school..."

The first time Li Yan saw Ye Fei coming over, she thought he must be here to ask for money.

But something special happened today. I took out all my savings at home and even planned to pick up some.

Li Yan clenched her pocket tightly. There was life-saving money that she had borrowed with great difficulty, and she couldn't let Ye Fei squander it.

But when she thought that Ye Fei could not get the money and something might happen, Li Yan tensed up all over.

Seeing that she looked a little flustered, Ye Fei thought he had scared her and quickly stepped forward to explain.

Seeing that his mother was a little scared, Ye Kang boldly stepped forward and stood between the two of them.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not here today to ask for money."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ye Kang standing in front of him and said with a smile.

"Oh, Kangkang has grown so tall!"

He raised his hand to touch his shoulder, but Ye Kang dodged him.

He doesn't like this little uncle!
