Chapter 324 - 324: An Obvious Change
“Little brother still hasn’t returned?”
Le Wan walked down the stairs while putting on the earrings. Zhai Jing saw that she wasn’t able to put it on properly, so he walked behind her and reached out his hand to help her. Le Wan turned her head so that he could see it more clearly and it was more convenient for him to do so.
The two of them didn’t say a word, nor even exchange a glance, but their actions were very tacit. Big Brother Le’s eyes paused for a moment when he saw it, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared very quickly.
He looked down at the time and said,
“He should be back by now. Is this fool thinking that he hasn’t completed his mission, so he’s staying outside and doesn’t dare to come back?”
At the mention of this, Mama Le looked at him disapprovingly.
“You only know how to bully your brother. He’s just a kid and has never done this before. Besides, he’s not familiar with this place. What if he gets into trouble?”
Papa Le, however, said,
“He’s a boy. He should train when it’s time. Otherwise, he won’t even know how to earn money. What if he becomes a hedonistic son in the future?”
As for safety, although Little Brother Le was a little straightforward, he had received safety training since he was young. Although his martial arts weren’t very good, he still could escape when he saw that the situation wasn’t right.
When Mama Le heard her husband’s words, she also thought of those naive playboys in the circle who only knew how to eat, drink, play with cars, play with women, and spend a lot of money to cause trouble. She gritted her teeth and said,
“If he dares to learn from those people, I’ll break his legs.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was movement in the courtyard.
Everyone looked out of the window and saw Little Brother Le standing in the courtyard with a half-full sack, looking a little depressed.
Big Brother Le said that he wasn’t worried, but when he saw that his brother had returned safely, his face clearly relaxed. He opened the door and walked out first. When he arrived at the courtyard, he stopped three meters away from Little Brother Le in disdain.
“Oh, you came back so late. I thought you had a big harvest, but you only picked up this small bag.” The tone of his voice was obviously asking for a beating.
Little Brother Le, who was a little depressed, heard his voice and looked up at him. His eyes were filled with a grievance, then anger, and then determination.
“Hmph, everything is difficult in the beginning. Today is my first day of work, so I’m not familiar with it yet. Wait for me tomorrow. I’ll definitely pick up many times more plastic bottles tomorrow!”
Big Brother Le raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Why? Are you going there tomorrow?”
He thought that with Little Brother Le’s pampered personality, he would cry and shout that he didn’t want to work anymore after a day. In the end, he didn’t complain and said that he would go again tomorrow. This was indeed quite surprising.
Little Brother Le puffed up his chest.
“I’m not the kind of person who gives up halfway. I said I’m going, so I’ll definitely go. The Environmental Protection business is still waiting for me.”
Then, he put the small bag of plastic bottles he had picked up in the corner of the garden, pushed his brother’s shoulder away valiantly, and walked into the house.
Mama Le saw that his face and body were covered in dirt. She took two steps back in disdain and looked at him with heartache.
“Silly son, your brother is tricking you. You just have to experience it for one day. There’s no need to go tomorrow.”
Little Brother Le raised his chin.
“I know he’s trying to fool me, but I think picking up bottles is quite fun and meaningful. It just so happens that my teacher has assigned me some homework for social practice, and I can use it as a topic. Besides, I’m a man of my word. I won’t give up just because of a small problem.” Then, he went back to his room on the second floor.
Everyone was surprised to see him like this.
They had thought that after picking up bottles for a day, he would complain to Papa Le and Mama Le. They didn’t expect him to persist even though he was clearly tired.
Papa Le said happily,
“You don’t say. First son’s method is quite effective.”
This kid had gone out for a day, and even the way he spoke was different. He seemed to have become much more sensible.
When Big Brother Le, who came in from the courtyard, heard this, he said without taking any credit,
“This is the method that Baby thought of in the beginning. I just extended it a little.”
Even Le Wan couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up when she heard what Little Brother Le said.
“The Watson family next door is having a party tonight. We’re all the same age, so they invited us. Do you want to come with us?”
Little Brother Le was a person who loved to join in the fun. When he heard that Le Wan was going to participate, he naturally wanted to go as well. As he went upstairs, he didn’t forget to stick his head out and answer,
“Yes, let me take a shower and clean up..”
