After all the classes in the afternoon, the school did not let all the students go home immediately. Instead, it organized everyone to clean up the wasteland on the small hill behind the school.

After spring, the principal plans to plant some crops here to save school expenses.

The students were used to doing farm work at home, so they played on the hill while doing it. Some naughty boys even slipped away and went to play somewhere else.

Shi Li, Xiao Hua and other girls were working diligently on the hillside. The principal took out a handful of hawthorns from somewhere and gave two to each of them.

It took about half an hour to finish the work on the hillside.

As the principal was saying that school was over, he saw a boy who had just run away running back, pointing at Shi Li and shouting, "Shi the fool is no longer stupid!"

Usually, the children in the village called Brother Shi "Shi the Idiot", and the adults didn't care much. When Shi Li heard this name, her heart skipped a beat, but the following words immediately made her eyes light up.

I immediately thought of the boy from yesterday.

Shi Li originally just thought that the boy would wake up Big Brother Shi, but she didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise waiting for her. Her heartbeat quickened immediately.

"Go back and check it out! It's great that your brother is getting better!" The principal also knew about the Shi family's situation and Shi Li's usual efforts, so he smiled with relief.

Shi Li nodded and trotted back home. As soon as she walked into the house, she heard an unfamiliar male voice talking to his scumbag parents in the house.

"Mom and Dad, I'm fine now. You can't just take care of my brother and ignore me!"

These strange words made Shi Li stop.

She didn't think that this was something that the honest and simple elder brother Shi would say. She quietly walked to the door, opened it a crack and looked inside, and saw elder brother Shi talking with his back to the door.

After hesitating for a while, Shi Li pushed the door open and walked in, "I'm back."

Hearing her voice, the three people in the room looked over together. Shi Li quietly kept an eye on Brother Shi out of the corner of her eye.

The person is still the same person, but the look in his eyes is completely different from before.

It was crystal clear before, but now... it was filled with an inexplicable scrutiny and calculation that frightened her, and even gave her an absurd thought.

Could it be that Brother Shi has been possessed by some demon or monster?

However, if the young man takes action, ordinary monsters and demons would not be able to do this. Perhaps... Brother Shi is indeed different from before.

Shi Li couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she just murmured "Brother".

"You're back. Go and make a fire. I'm hungry." Brother Shi looked at her as if it was a matter of course and casually told her to go out.

The scumbag dad didn't say a word, and the scumbag mom held Yaozu tightly in her arms. Only Shi Li was with them, and they didn't look like a family.

Shi Li walked out of the house silently.

Originally, in this family, there was at least an elder brother, Shi, who could make her feel a little warmth. But now it seems that this only warmth is gone.

Because of Erhuzi’s incident, no one went to the river today.

There was one carp left from the carp Shili brought back yesterday, so she made another bowl of soup. Yesterday's fish soup was all eaten by the scumbag father and mother.

But today, my eldest brother has recovered, so naturally he has to have his share. It's a pity that three people share a bowl of fish soup, so each person doesn't get much.

Especially Brother Shi.

After finishing half of the fish soup, he ate four more steamed buns. In the end, he still felt unsatisfied and stared at Shi Li and said, "Go catch two more fish tomorrow."

Shi Li: ...

"I..." She couldn't guarantee that she could catch any fish this time, and she might even die there.

"Just go if I tell you to go, don't talk so much nonsense!" Brother Shi narrowed his eyes and stared at her unhappily, "I was the one who saved you last time you fell into the river. Now I ask you to go and catch two fish, and you don't want to?"

What else could Shi Li say?

Big Brother Shi saved her life, but the young man also saved Big Brother Shi for her sake. Now, no matter how you look at it, she owes the young man, and it has nothing to do with Big Brother Shi anymore.

Unfortunately, this is another sentence that cannot be said.
