Chapter 32 Conjecture
Judging from the time when my cousin's academic performance suddenly improved, it has been at least twenty years.

There is no need to wait here for more than 20 years of revenge, right?It seems that the Bai family has a secret, and the key to the Bai family's secret should be Bai Yanling.

"Little Four? What are you thinking about?"

Seeing his little granddaughter in a daze, Mr. Cheng shouted.

When she regained her senses, Cheng Li spoke out her doubts, so that Grandpa could have a countermeasure in mind, "I'm thinking about Bai's secret, there must be a reason for her not going back, or it may be because of Hu."

"Yeah!" Mr. Cheng touched his chin and nodded, "I also find it suspicious. The two got married at the end of the year before last. At that time, a large number of educated youths were on their way back. Those who really couldn't go back were because their family members had a little ability in the city. None."

Cheng Shanghu looked back and forth between his father and his little niece with wide eyes, this?This this……

"Hush!" Old Master Cheng made a silent gesture to San'er, and Cheng Shanghu could only hold back.

"Yeah!" Cheng Li imitated her grandfather and touched her chin and nodded, "Are you not allowed to return in vain? Or is there a secret in Hu?"

"Yes!" Mr. Cheng slapped his hands, which shocked Cheng Shanghu, "The two points Xiao Si said are reasonable, if you don't answer in vain, maybe her status is embarrassing, and it is very likely that she is not easy to show up with her father. That means she might be an illegitimate daughter,
If it is not Bai's problem, it is that Hu may have something that the Bai family likes. This thing may be identity or potential.
But I think it should be the identity, it may be the lost child of so-and-so, or it may also be an illegitimate child, but Hu didn't know, and thought that Bai was fancying him. "

Grandpa's brains are big enough, and it's reasonable. After all, going to the countryside can be replaced by someone else. If Bai Yanling goes to the countryside instead of the housewife, it's reasonable to send a package once a month.

Oops, she felt dizzy thinking about it, "I don't understand, Grandpa, I'm sleepy."

"Okay, grandpa will take you there."

After sending the little granddaughter back, Mr. Cheng came to look for San'er again, "Shut up, since your grandpa has met Xiaosi, he must not only talk about a little bit, he is a scholar, and Xiaosi is slowly getting enlightened , there must be a lot in her little brain."

"Yeah!" Cheng Shanghu nodded vigorously.

Mr. Cheng, who had a big brain, rationalized Cheng Li's sudden change and intelligence.

For breakfast the next day, Mr. Cheng got a boiled egg and wanted to give half of it to his granddaughter.

Cheng Li waved her chubby hand, "No, no, grandpa, two eggs a day is enough for adults, and this one for you is only enough for you. Look at me, I'm white and fat, not in vain."

Old Master Cheng didn't give way to his granddaughter, but just ordered the old woman to cook two eggs tomorrow morning, one for him and Xiao Si.

Seeing Mrs. Cheng holding her breath and nodding, Cheng Li didn't refuse the egg, she could share it with the elder brother, elder sister and second sister.

Cheng Xian lowered her head and drank the porridge, but she didn't dare to make a sound, her backers had been overthrown, and being able to stay would have the advantage of being the last to answer the question.

After the meal, Cheng Li watched her grandfather drink the medicine before saying goodbye to him. After watching him go to work, she wanted to accompany her father to work.

Because the task of collecting firewood has increased here, Cheng Yan also has to collect firewood. Cheng Wenan sent the younger sister to the material recycling station, nagging the younger sister along the way, telling her not to run around.

Cheng Li rolled her eyes, "Brother, can I help pick up firewood too?"

Bring my little sister to pick up firewood?When should I pick it up?However, when he looked down and saw the little girl's expectant face, Cheng Wen'an couldn't say no.

Cheng Ping and Cheng Yan, who went first to collect firewood at the dam of the Weihe River, saw that the elder brother brought the younger sister along, and did not complain, but told the younger sister not to go to the river, or she would fall.

No matter what the eldest sister and the second sister said, Cheng Li responded with a smile.

There is a wide field under the Weihe dam, where there are dense poplar trees. There will be a lot of fallen leaves and branches under the poplar trees in autumn, but there are fewer in spring and summer, and it takes time to collect firewood.

Cheng Li stared at the only user of this field - Mao Zhushan.

Maozhu Mountain, stored in Cheng Li's childhood memories, gradually disappeared because of the emergence of the individual economy, and there is no need to go to supply and marketing cooperatives and local product companies to buy things.

Maozhushan belongs to the rough processing station of the supply and marketing cooperative. First, the bamboo branches are cut off, and then the moso bamboo is cut according to the length of the processed product.

Some are cut off and shipped away, while others need to be split into bamboo strips of different thicknesses and thicknesses before being shipped to the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative for hand-weaving.

Naturally, there are many discarded corners that can be used as firewood.

Cheng Li picked it up and walked towards the bamboo fence. When she got to the fence, she stared helplessly at the person who saw the bamboo.

Soon, the man sawing the bamboo found the little fat girl outside the fence.

Seeing the man looking over, Cheng Li immediately smiled, "Hello, Uncle."

"Okay, okay, are you here to pick up firewood?" The man saw a few branches in Cheng Li's hand.

"Yes! There are many people in my family, and we have to collect seven bundles of firewood a day."

"Seven bundles?"

Isn't the man's surprise the number of seven bundles?After all, a child's seven bundles of firewood are at most like an adult's two bundles of firewood. He has seen three older children not far away picking up and coming here, and they must be with this little fat girl.

What surprised him was that this little chubby girl looked only three or four years old, so how much did seven bundles of firewood cost?

"Yes, seven bundles!" Cheng Li nodded her bald head.

"Can you count?"

Cheng Li bent down to put down the branch in her hand, raised her hands, and squeezed the three fingers of her right hand together, "Seven."

The man looked at the chubby hand. Although the little finger of his right hand was not closed very well, he was indeed making a gesture of seven, "Oh, it's pretty good? Then uncle asked you, you do the calculations, and if you get one right, I'll give you one." Jie Zhuwei, I made a mistake, so I can chat with my uncle, okay?"

"Okay!" Cheng Li smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"What is 1+1 equal to?"

"2."

"What is 2+2 equal to?"

"Uncle, Takeo." Cheng Li stopped answering and asked for Takeo first.

"Okay!" The man simply put down the saw, hugged more than a dozen bamboo tails with one or two knots and squatted by the fence, and handed out one to Cheng Li.

"Thank you uncle."

Just as Cheng Li's chubby hand was about to pick it up, a thin paw stretched out from the side to take it.

Cheng Li looked up and saw that it was the eldest brother, and looked at the man with confidence, "Uncle, shall we continue?"

"Of course," the man smiled, "Didn't I just ask what 2+2 equals?"

This time, Cheng Li pretended to snap her fingers, "4."

The man handed out a bamboo tail.

"What about 4+3?" The man thought that Cheng Li should have learned addition within ten, so he increased the difficulty.

Cheng Li broke her two chubby hands, "7."

Another bamboo tail was handed out.

"What about 8+2?"

"10."

"What about 7+6?" The man felt that the little fat girl couldn't pass the test within ten, so he raised the difficulty again.

Cheng Li sat on the ground, took off her shoes, and used her fat feet, "13."

"Hahaha," the man couldn't help laughing, although he didn't bother the little chubby girl, but the little chubby girl's behavior was enough to keep him happy for a long time.

He simply handed out the remaining few bamboo tails, "I've given it to you, I'm off to work."

"Huh? Uncle, you won't test me anymore?"

The man was taken aback, "What? Can you answer more difficult questions?"

"But, I, I want a popsicle shaker."

 The popsicle shaker is the bamboo knot of moso bamboo. The bamboo tubes on the left and right sides of the bamboo knot are sawed off, and only a disc about one centimeter thick is left.Popsicle sellers use the crisp sound of popsicle shakers to sell.
