“Aiya, brother, I’m only taking Meng’er out. I’ll send her back in a while. I promise I won’t let her get sunburned.” Chen Haoxuan wanted to fight for more.

Although Chen Haoxuan was only seven years old, his big brother’s prestige was still there. As soon as Chen Haoxuan finished speaking, he saw his big brother glaring at him, and he instantly stopped. He pouted and reluctantly walked out of the door. As he walked, he turned his head and looked at Chen Meng’er and Chen Haoguo with resentment.

He threatened Chen Haoxuan, “If you don’t want to go out and want to stay and learn to read with me, I have no objections.”

As soon as Chen Haoguo said this, Chen Haoxuan ran out of the door. He was afraid that if he was a step late, he would have to stay today and learn to write with his big brother.

There was a reason why Chen Haoguo had such great prestige in Chen Haoxuan’s eyes. At present, the country was still in collective production. As long as there were adults in the village, they would have to work and earn work credits. However, this meant that the adults in the family did not have the time to take care of the children. This formed a pattern of the older children taking care of the younger children.

For example, Chen Haoxuan was raised by Chen Haoguo. Chen Haoguo would bring Chen Haoxuan wherever he went. After Chen Meng’er appeared, she was brought up by Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan. However, in 1978, when Chen Meng’er was two years old, she heard her parents discuss that the collective ownership system was going to be abolished.

As for the Chen family village, only in 1979, this year, did they start to abolish the collective ownership system and start to implement the household contract responsibility system. Chen Ping and his wife were now talking about this every night, discussing whether or not to contract the land.

When Chen Meng’er heard this, she wanted to express her opinion. She wanted to tell them that there was no need to discuss this. It had to be contracted. If it was not contracted, then they would regret it. However, Chen Meng’er was too young. She knew that even if she said it, her parents would think that she was a child.

But fortunately, under Chen Ping’s decision, they decided to contract the land with his big brother’s family.

As usual, Chen Meng’er was thrown at Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan.

“Haha, look at Xuan. It seems like someone is chasing after him.” Chen Meng’er laughed at Chen Haoxuan impolitely.

“Meng’er, let’s not be like Xuan. It’s too embarrassing.” When Chen Haoguo laughed at Chen Haoxuan with Chen Meng’er, he did not forget to educate Chen Meng’er.

“I won’t be like Xuan.” Chen Meng’er said and changed the topic. “What are you teaching me today?”

After this summer vacation, Chen Haoxuan was going to go to the first grade of primary school. When Chen Haoxuan went to school, only Chen Meng’er was left at home. Some time ago, Chen Meng’er overheard her parents talking about what Chen Meng’er would do after Chen Haoxuan went to school.

Chen Meng’er had an idea when she heard her parents talking about this. She felt that it was better for her to go to school with her second brother, Chen Haoxuan. This way, her parents wouldn’t have to worry about her when they were busy with the work in the fields.

With this idea in mind, Chen Meng’er took the initiative to ask her eldest brother to teach her how to read and count after the summer break. Chen Meng’er had already thought it through. At her age, if she were to go to school, people would usually not accept her. She was only three years old.

However, she thought that if she acted a little more like a genius, she might be able to make an exception and be accepted. As for Chen Meng’er, who had a doctorate from Harvard Business School, the knowledge from elementary school was not difficult for her at all. She could even count the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with her eyes closed.

However, she had to find someone who could let everyone know where she got the knowledge from. Therefore, she set her mind on her big brother.

Chen Haoguo saw that his sister wanted to learn, and he was very willing to teach her. He dutifully taught his sister, Chen Meng’er, every day. Chen Haoguo did not expect his sister to be so smart. He only needed to teach her once and she would learn everything.

This surprised him, but he was full of pride.. That was his sister.
