Chapter 288
Seeing her still calm and even sighing as if she hadn’t had enough, Old Man Mo’s heart was shattered. They say that once you get a wife, you forget your mother; this girl hasn’t even started her own family and she’s already forgetting her own grandfather. Such an unfilial girl.
"Old man."
"Hmm?"
Mo Yan raised her head and looked at the tree beside the door of the eastern room in the courtyard, which had lost all its leaves, and said, "Who do you think is better behaved, Yu or I?"
"Of course it’s you."
"Indeed. I’ve had a good memory since I was three, and from that time I knew to give the fun toys to my sister, and save the delicious food for her as well. I even brushed my teeth myself and took care of my sister, helping our weary parents by washing their feet. Many people said I was sensible, and I think so myself. Later, when I started school, I was always the top student every year, whereas Yu constantly ranked last, but I didn’t care about these things, I just did my best. Afterwards, I passed the high school exams, went to university, and Niannian won scholarships, getting so many that we lost count, as people say."
Mo Yan tilted her head slightly and rested her hand underneath, looking up at the sky, "Since I was young, I’ve been a model student, wearing red flowers on my breast, and red armbands on my shoulders, and I’ve been well-behaved for so many years. I’ve always thought of myself as talented, capable of accomplishing difficult tasks. As outsiders say, I have strong working capabilities. In university, not joining the party was perhaps the first rebellious thing I barely managed to do."
The old man nodded his head.
