Why it never ends

In the kitchen, the work of preparing food is basically over. Cheng Xiaoshu and Youjiali originally just came in to help, but at this point, both of them have become the main force. The plates and knives that needed to be cleaned have been washed, and the only two pots were occupied by stews... The previously busy kitchen suddenly became quiet.

The two helped each other scoop water to wash their hands. They shook their arms and found a place to sit down together.

"So you are not a student of our school, you just came here to play with Jane?"

"Ah."

"Then which school are you from?" Cheng Xiaoshu asked curiously, "Comprehensive University? Agricultural University? Or -"

"No, I'm not in school right now."

"You're not in school..." Cheng Xiaoshu still didn't understand, "Have you graduated from college?"

Yugali smiled shyly and pushed her hanging hair behind her ears, "...I only went to high school. I just took some certificates recently, and I will see if I can be a tutor or translator..."

Cheng Xiaoshu frowned at first, and then couldn't help but sigh, "But your lingua franca is so good... By the way, when Jane was with you earlier, you were talking about the third district. Language?”

"Yeah." Yugali nodded.

"That means you can speak three languages!" Cheng Xiaoshu raised her fingers, "Common language, Southern District 14 language and District 3 language?"

"I can speak a little bit of Northern District 14," Yugali added, "but I can only listen and read, but I can't write well."

"...Oh my god, are you some kind of language genius?"

"No, no," Yugali quickly denied, "It's very ordinary."

"What are you talking about? It's already amazing. Do you know that even in college, someone can master so many foreign languages ​​at the same time——"

"It's really nothing," Yugali stood up anxiously, "It's just that when I was a kid, there were people who spoke all kinds of languages ​​at home, and I learned quickly by being immersed in it. It's not a great skill - many people over there are like this. , not surprising at all!”

The two looked at each other and suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, Cheng Xiaoshu laughed out loud, "Okay, I won't praise you anymore, so don't worry, okay."

Eucalyptus laughed.

"I've had this feeling too," Cheng Xiaoshu said with a smile, "When others scold me, I know how to retaliate. When others praise me, I don't know how to respond."

"Yes, that's right." Yugali twisted the folds of his pants on his knees, "Looking back afterwards, I will feel that I was petty..."

"She still doesn't get enough compliments. If Jane were here and we randomly praised her for anything, she probably wouldn't even raise an eyebrow."

The two laughed together, and Yugali hugged one knee and chatted with Cheng Xiaoshu. I never thought that the two of them were close in age and had similar family backgrounds, and they instantly resonated with each other on many topics. Hearing that where Eucalyptus is located, everyone can speak two or three foreign languages. Cheng Xiaoshu couldn't help but be curious about the location. Eucalyptus didn't want to talk more. She just said that it was on the border of several major regions and passed the topic. .

When talking about campus life, Cheng Xiaoshu asked again: "You seem to be someone who is willing to study hard. Why don't you continue studying?"

Yujiali thought of the pile of inexplicably stuck procedures, and an indescribable tiredness enveloped her heart. She sighed, "How should I put it..." "Do you have a younger brother?" Cheng Xiaoshu suddenly asked .

"right……"

"Then I understand."

Yugali was startled for a moment and said quickly, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that my mother is partial to not letting me read it."

Cheng Xiaoshu looked at Yugali, "Really?"

"Yes, I not only have a younger brother, but also a younger sister. When we got older, the three of us entered school - all because my mother fought for us. Because several of my uncles think that girls study hard. Too much is not good. They say that girls cannot stay in school until their prime years. It was my mother who always insisted and refused to let us get married early, so I was able to go to high school smoothly." Yugali raised his head and leaned on On the earthen wall behind him, "But what happened later was really beyond our capabilities. We can't blame anyone for this."

At this point, Cheng Xiaoshu couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Yujiali suddenly fell silent again halfway through his answer. She forcibly swallowed her next words - if she told her where she came from, it seemed to be equivalent to telling her identity as a Hesta... Even if the person in front of her didn't seem to be malicious, but... what would happen in the future Who knows?

"If saying this makes you difficult, I won't ask anymore." Cheng Xiaoshu walked to the stove and said, "Don't be pressured. I can probably understand some things even if you just don't say them."

"Your family doesn't treat you well?"

Cheng Xiaoshu laughed, "With my family's situation, even if they want to treat me well, it won't be much better... To be honest, I quite envy you."

Yugali's eyes widened, "Why do you envy me?"

Cheng Xiaoshu stood in the steam beside the pot, "Your mother is willing to resist the pressure from the family to prevent you from marrying early, which shows that she still recognizes the value of her daughters... She must be a very strong person, right?" "

Yugali smiled slightly, "...she is very strong, but she doesn't know how to speak. Many people in my family - not just my uncle - don't like her because she always doesn't leave room for others when getting along with her. Make it impossible for everyone to get off the stage..."

"But the bottom line is held very firmly?"

Yugali nodded seriously, "Yes, although she is not good at words and is very willing to endure hardships. She always takes things to herself, but if she encounters something that she feels she cannot give in to, no one can ever defeat her - no matter what Whether it's about me going to school, getting married, or other things at home... everyone has acquiesced, but once she makes up her mind, no one can change it."

"so good."

"Yes, it's not easy," Yugali lowered his eyes, "Although living together will put a lot of pressure on people, if you don't have such a temperament, you may not be able to make others listen to you."

Cheng Xiaoshu nodded.

"What about you?" Yugali asked, "How do you get along with your family?"

"If you exclude me, they are actually quite good. They are a family of three, enjoying themselves..." Cheng Xiaoshu said, "There is a way to live in poverty."

Yujiali's eyes became more compassionate, "Xiaoshu..."

"But on the bright side, I don't have any burden on me." Cheng Xiaoshu said, "In another twenty years, you will have to start worrying about your mother's pension. I won't have to."

"...and you will graduate from a prestigious school in two years." Yugali added with a smile, "I really envy you too. In the past two years, I have to find a way to find a job first. When I make some money, I will go back sooner or later. From school.”
