Shanyue doesn't know what's going on

Chapter 11 Choice
Life will not change drastically because of the departure of some people. Xiang Yuan still commutes between school and home. The school in the county seat is not close to the village, and she usually comes back only once on weekends.The closer the third year of senior high school came to an end, the tighter the course schedule became. Even Xiang Yuan, who was not strenuous in his studies, had to work harder to cope with the mock exams again and again.

Many rural girls like her in the class planned to pack their bags and go south to work directly after the college entrance examination. Xiang Yuan also thought about this matter for a long time.For orphans like Xiang Yao, she usually finds some work by herself, and the township government subsidizes it. There is no problem for the time being, but if she is admitted to university, it will be completely different. The reality is - she has no money, she is not omnipotent, although she is smarter than most people, but now she is still just a school girl in the countryside, she can save the two sisters from worrying about food by her own efforts, but But they can't afford the sky-high college tuition.She has thought more than once that she will go to work after receiving her high school diploma. After a few years, she may not be able to look like a human being, but it is undoubtedly more tempting for her to change her destiny by entering a good university. Her grades have always been good, and she could have done better if she hadn't been distracted by too many things.

Xiangyuan can only argue with herself secretly, she has never had anyone to discuss with, of course, this is more because she is used to solving everything by herself, who can she count on?Xiang Yao?When she thought of this, she shook her head and smiled.

The two sisters basically meet at home two days a week.That day, Xiang Yuan stepped on a stool to change the light bulb in the main room. The chair was stacked too high, so she asked Xiang Yao to hold on to it.When Xiang Yao reached for the light bulb she had replaced, she was in a daze and flustered. Not only did she fail to connect the light bulb, it fell to pieces on the ground, and in the process of saving the light bulb, she accidentally knocked Xiang Yuan on the stool. If it wasn't for Xiang Yuan's quick reaction, it would not be impossible for him to fall and hurt his bones.

As soon as she staggered to the ground, she lost her temper and said to Xiang Yao, "Are you sleepwalking or something, what is there that you can do well?"

Xiang Yao didn't contradict her, and hurriedly cleaned up the broken glass on the ground. Looking at the younger sister's thin back, Xiang Yuan's anger suddenly turned into helplessness, and this helplessness made her not want to have an attack, nor was she too lazy to have an attack.She had to admit that she didn't know Xiang Yao well. Although they were the only blood relatives in the world, their blood did not bring their hearts any closer.She couldn't figure out why Xiang Yao was about to go to middle school, why he didn't make any progress. During this period of time, she felt even more despondent, as if she had lost her soul.

Standing aside, Xiang Yuan looked at her own sister as if she were a stranger. In fact, she didn't know in her heart that she was also to blame for the estrangement between her and Xiang Yao.After the family members died one by one, she went to school in the county, and Xiang Yao guarded the house alone, and she should be lonely. She couldn't blame Xiang Yao for not expressing something in her heart, because she never thought about it. .Maybe being a sister is also a matter of fate, otherwise why are the two people who are clearly dependent on each other so distant, the biological sister is not as caring as the non-kin Zou Yun.It's not that Xiang Yuan didn't think about giving Xiang Yao more care, but she is not a saint, and she can't pretend to be a parent and a close sister. Facing Xiang Yao's sentimentality and sensitivity, which is exactly the same as their father Xiang Yunsheng, she instinctively Feeling tired and disgusted, what's more, she couldn't forget Xiang Yi's last figure soaked in the water. Even though she knew it was meaningless, she still thought to herself more than once, if it wasn't for Xiang Yao, how could she lose Xiang Yuan? Dear brother.

"Xiang Yao, what's the matter with you?" Xiang Yuan asked while resisting the pain in his ankle when he landed.

She waited for 1 minute, did not wait for the expected answer, shook her head and walked away.

"I..." When Xiang Yao mustered up the courage to look up from the shards of the light bulb, he saw only the empty main room.

In April of the following year after Zou Yun left, the rape blossoms had just bloomed, and the village committee welcomed a few city people with drums and gongs, and a few cars parked on the largest grain drying field in the village.I heard that after Ye Binglin returned to the city, he decided to invest in the construction of a Hope Primary School in the village. For this reason, the township government sent cadres to receive the visitors.

Xiang Yuan followed the spectators to look around at the place with the most people, and then felt disappointed involuntarily. Among the people who came, there was no Ye Qianze, not even Zou Yun—by the way, his name should be Ye Yun now, and there was not even Ye Binglin. Appearing in the office of the village committee, surrounded by village head Uncle Li and cadres from the village, was a strange man in his 30s.

Xiang Yuan turned his head and left in a wan mood, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Second Uncle Li from a distance, "Xiang Yuan, oh, Xiang Yuan, don't go, I'm looking for you."

Second Uncle Li trotted after him, grabbed Xiang Yuan's arm and dragged him towards the village committee, with a smile on his face, "Xiang Yuan, good news has arrived!"

Xiang Yuan was pushed suspiciously on the half-worn wooden stool in the office of the village committee by the elated Second Uncle Li, especially Monk Erzhang, who couldn't figure it out.

"What are you doing, Second Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"When the nobleman arrives, good things will come naturally?" Second Uncle Li pointed at the man far away.Looking closely at this Ye family she had never seen before, the man in front of her was thin and tall, with a well-trained sense of strength, handsome face and black hair, which made him look younger than his actual age Some.She recognized traces resembling Ye Qianze from the features on that face, but it didn't make her feel kind. This man, even though he was smiling at this moment, still had an inexplicable arrogance in his eyes.

Xiang Yuan felt that this "noble man" was also scrutinizing her, and this scrutiny made her unconsciously on guard.

Second Uncle Li interjected at the right time, "Xiang Yuan, Binglin called and said that besides building a hope primary school in the village, he also specified that he would subsidize your studies until you don't want to miss it. Isn't your kid going to college?" Well, this is a great thing. Binglin also said that he was too busy to leave, and the children had to go to school again, so he asked his brother to handle this matter. Well, this is Mr. Xiaoye. "

Xiang Yuan was still digesting Uncle Li's words, the man said, "You are Xiang Yuan?"

Xiang Yuan smiled: "Hello, Uncle Xiaoye."

He stood up and lazily stretched out a hand towards her, "My name is Ye Bingwen."

It was the first time Xiang Yuan shook hands with someone, but she instinctively felt that a polite handshake should not be so forceful. She didn't know whether it was intentional or not. This man named Ye Bingwen made her feel painful when he shook hands.She broke away in time without any trace, the touch of those hands made her difficult to adapt, cold and stiff, which formed a great contrast with the smile on his face.She suddenly missed the warmth that Ye Qianze left in her palm a long time ago.

Ye Bingwen proposed to visit Xiang Yuan's house, but she seemed to have no reason to refuse. Uncle Li took the initiative to lead the way, and the spectators followed to Xiang's house.

A large group of people made Xiang Yao who had just returned home at a loss. Ye Bingwen sat at the table and drank tea at ease after walking around Xiang's house. Xiang Yuan didn't answer much. After all, Second Uncle Li had seen more of the world than others, so after a few hilarious chats, he went back to the village committee with an excuse. Before he left, he did not forget to remind Ye Bingwen that the village had prepared a feast for him.

Everyone dispersed, Ye Bingwen was still turning Xiang Jia's unremarkable teacup, and Xiang Yuan noticed that although he kept his hands on the cup, he never took a sip from the beginning to the end.

"Ye...Mr. Ye, Qian Ze and Uncle Ye are all okay." Xiang Yuan broke the deadlock of silence.

"Okay, pretty good." Ye Bingwen raised his eyebrows habitually when he spoke.

"Then do you have something to tell me?" Xiang Yuan didn't play tricks, she always felt that the best way to deal with difficult people was to be straightforward.

Ye Bingwen finally put down his cup, "I don't know why my elder brother insists on donating to your school, but since he has decided, I can't say anything. You don't need much money to go to school. The problem is that there are too many ungrateful young people now. I think What I know is that the Ye family helped you, so what can you do for the Ye family."

"That depends on what Uncle Ye needs me to do for him, whether it is within my ability." Xiang Yuan's answer naturally positioned Ye Binglin as the person who helped her, rather than the infinitely vast "Ye Family".

Ye Bingwen laughed and stared at Xiang Yuan more intently, "By the way, I just heard you say that there are only two sisters left in your family. Your sister is going to go to middle school too. It's pitiful for you to leave your sister behind." Land. Let’s put it this way, we can only help one of you and your younger sister, either realize your college dream, or send your younger sister to study in the best middle school in the city until she graduates from college, what do you choose.”

Xiang Yuan stiffened slowly, and she noticed the panic flashing across Xiang Yao's face. "This choice is meaningless at all. I went to college, and my sister will definitely be able to complete her studies in the future. You thank Uncle Ye for his help on my behalf. I believe this is a little joke you made with me, not Uncle Ye original intention."

Ye Bingwen shrugged, but he didn't continue to make things difficult on this issue, "Let's just treat it like this, I hope you understand my sense of humor."

"It's interesting talking to you." Xiang Yuan said.

"Okay." Ye Bingwen stretched his waist and stood up, "I still have to go to the village to deal with those unnecessary little bureaucrats. The next thing, I will arrange for you when your admission letter comes down."

Xiang Yuan sent him to the door, and when he stepped out of the threshold, Ye Bingwen said in a low voice, "If you had to choose, would you still choose yourself? I like girls like this."

Xiang Yuan didn't speak, and after seeing him off, when he returned home, Xiang Yao said, "It's time to eat.

She carefully arranged the dishes and chopsticks, but Xiang Yuan saw water droplets hitting the edge of the dining table.

"What happened to you?"

Xiang Yao wiped away tears with his sleeves, "Actually, it's okay if you said you chose yourself."

Xiang Yuan sighed, "Don't think about it, don't make trouble for me."
