Chapter 68: Explain
When I said that Cao Cao was here, I was thinking about my younger brother just now, but I didn’t expect that my younger brother would come back.
"Sister, why are you at home? You haven't had a big holiday now? Is there anything wrong?" Chen Jie said.
"Boy, your sister will go home if she wants to go home. Can't she come back if she is fine?" Chen Fang's mother said.
"Mom, that's not what I mean. Don't I care about my sister?" Chen Jie said.
"The meal is about to start. Do you want to eat more?" Chen Fang's mother said.
"I have made so many delicious foods, of course I have to eat them. If I had known that my sister would come back today, I would not have gone out with my classmates." Chen Jie said.
"We are going to go back to our hometown tomorrow to see your grandparents. Do you want to go with us?" Chen Fang's father said.
"Of course I'm going to go." Chen Jie said.
"We may stay in our hometown for two days, so you may be the only one who goes back to school to attend classes. And even if you go to our hometown, you have to finish your homework before you can go to play. Do you still have to go with us?" Chen Fang's mother said.
"I'm very familiar with my grandparents. Even if I close my eyes, I can get it back. It's okay to come back alone. As for homework, I've done almost everything, and there's not much left. I'll finish it tonight and let go of my grandparents' play." Chen Jie said.
Chen Jie felt a little worried when he thought of going to play with his grandparents and doing his homework, so he decided to hurry up tonight to finish his homework and he would be able to play happily.
If he had known this, he would have come back early. If he didn't go out to play with his classmates today, he would have to do more homework. It seemed that he would have to work tonight. He ate a few bites of food in a hurry and returned to the room to start doing his homework.
"If my son worked so hard every day, his grades would not be as good as they are now. As expected, he was still very attractive. If he hadn't been to the countryside, he wouldn't have done his homework so diligently." Chen Fang's mother said.
"My son is still young, so it is normal to be playful. I will teach you slowly in the future." Chen Fang's father said.
"I'm still young. I'm in the second year of junior high school and will take the high school entrance exam next year. If I don't start working hard now, how can I get into a good high school in the future? If I can't enter a good high school, how can I go to a good university? If I don't have a good diploma, it's hard to find a job. We are all ordinary people and we don't have the ability to help my son find a job, so we can only rely on himself. He is so smart. If he really spends all his thoughts on studying, he will definitely learn well. Unfortunately, he is just playful." Chen Fang's mother said.
"Mom, don't worry too much. Although my brother's grades are not top-notch, they are actually pretty good. Boys are sensible later. As long as my brother is willing to work hard, his grades will be improved soon." Chen Fang said.
"I have no other hope, I hope you and your brother will have a future and live a good life." Chen Fang's mother said.
After dinner, Chen Fang hung the amulet he had sewn on his parents' neck, and also hung one for his younger brother.
"Sister, what is this?" Chen Jie said.
"This is the amulet I finally got from a monk. You can carry it with you in the future and cannot take it off. This amulet will bless you and prevent you from being hurt." Chen Fang said.
"Sister, when did you still believe in these things? These feudal superstitious things are not trustworthy at all. What role can a small piece of paper play? It is just a deception. Although this is indeed passed down by our ancestors, it is just a foolish person who is easily deceived by the ancients. This kind of amulet is carried on the body at most to seek psychological comfort, and it will not have any effect." Chen Jie said.
Chen Jie saw Chen Fang's eyes wide and staring at him with murderous aura. His voice became smaller and smaller. He said decisively: "Although I don't really believe that the amulet is effective, since it was bought by my sister, I will definitely carry it with me and will never take it down."
"This is almost the same. If I know you take down the amulet, be careful that I will come back to deal with you." Chen Fang said.
"How dare I? But there is a layer of cloth on the outside of this amulet and a piece of paper inside. If I don't take it down, I will definitely get wet when taking a shower." Chen Jie said.
"I'm not such an unreasonable person. You can take it down when taking a shower, but I suggest you take a small plastic pocket to put this amulet on when taking a shower, so that it won't be wet. This amulet can really protect your safety. I told my parents before that it was not peaceful recently, and my parents didn't believe it very much, but my parents would still carry the amulet I gave with them, and I didn't say much. But I think I can tell you these words. I don't know if you have paid attention to some recent news. If you have any attention, I believe I don't need to say it, you also know that there is no peace recently." Chen Fang said.
"So sister, you also noticed it, and I also noticed some abnormalities. Our school has been very strict in recent times. There are many faces patrolling the school. Originally, I thought something happened to our school, but later I found that the schools around us have strengthened patrols. Many students said that they saw some performances of talented people and strangers on the Internet. Originally, everyone didn't care about it, just to watch it as a fun. But later they found that all the circulating remarks and videos were blocked. Only then did everyone realize that this might be true. Our world is not as ordinary as we see, or gradually becomes less ordinary. But even if we know, what's the use of it? We should do what we should do. Sister, why are you talking about this?" Chen Jie said.
"You don't think about it. If I hadn't noticed something, how could I come back with amulets? I'm not really idle and have nothing to do. Of course I have my own intentions. Since you know this and have noticed danger, I won't hide it from you. There are some animals or people in this world who have awakened special abilities. The videos that have been circulated before are mostly true. Although those videos have been blocked, I believe someone will still see them. The amulets I gave you can withstand their attacks when facing such awakened animals or people, but they can't resist a few times. So when you encounter these awakened people or animals that want to be unfavorable to you, don't resist them. Run away quickly. You are not opponents of such people. I am too far away from my parents, and the important task of protecting parents is to be put on you." Chen Fang said.
