Chapter 79: Mei Yas Homework
Since elementary school, Mei Fang, Lin Youxi, and Xia Yuan have had a habit of celebrating each others birthdays together.
However, Lin Youxi and Mei Fangs birthdays are close, both falling in February. To avoid overlapping birthday celebrations, Mei Fang only celebrates his birthday according to the lunar calendar.
However, Mei Fangs official lunar birthday falls on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Years Eve. So, he always celebrates his birthday a few days earlier, choosing a suitable day.
This year, he discussed celebrating his birthday with Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi together on New Years Day.
These days, Xia Yuan has also been pondering over Mei Fangs birthday gift.
Ah Fang, what birthday gift do you want this year? I feel like Ive given everything in the past few years. A piggy bank, wind chimes, a mug, gloves, um Since were in middle school now, should I give something different?
Its okay if you dont give me anything I dont really mind.
That wont do! Ive given something every year, how can I not give something this year?
Xia Yuan pinched Mei Fangs shoulder, How about I give you a scarf?
A scarf? Youxi told me yesterday that shes planning to give me a scarf too
She beat me to it!
Xia Yuan was a little sulky, I forgot to ask her when we were playing games yesterday. It turns out she had already decided what to give and didnt tell me
If you really want to give it to me, I dont mind having more scarves. Said Mei Fang while he was focused on writing code, Ill just switch between them when the other scarf needs to be washed.
Then will you wear mine first or Youxis?
Mei Fang was silent for a while, Ill wear the one that looks better first.
You stinky rascal, youre quite picky!
Xia Yuan playfully knocked on Mei Fangs head, Im telling you dont look at these dense codes today, its so boring to do that even on vacation. When Xiaoya finishes her homework and Youxi finishes eating, the four of us can play Monopoly together.
You probably shouldnt count on that.
Mei Fang shook his head, She definitely wont finish her homework today. My mom said she wont let her play with us if she hasnt finished her homework.
How is that possible? I just checked Xiaoyas winter break homework. She only has two pages of math problems left to do, just a few connect-the-dots and arithmetic problems, shell finish them in no time. It seems like theyre memorizing multiplication tables now. Why do second graders have so much pressure?
Rip
While Xia Yuan and Mei Fang were discussing, the sound of tearing paper came from the living room.
You have so much confidence in Xiaoya, why dont you go see what shes doing now.
Half-doubtfully, Xia Yuan went out of the study to the living room to find Mei Ya and saw her repeatedly rubbing a ruler on her hair. When Xia Yuan appeared, Mei Ya happily waved at her.
Sister Yuan Yuan, Ill tell you a secret, but dont tell anyoneactually, Im a magician!
Xia Yuan has always been very patient and caring towards Mei Fangs younger sister. Seeing Mei Ya in high spirits, she happily joined in, Wow, Xiaoya, are you really this amazing? Can you show it to your sister Yuan Yuan?
Watch closely, Ill only perform it once, dont let my brother and others know.
Mei Ya held up a ruler that had been rubbed against her hair, This is my super magic wand. As long as I infuse it with magic, itll be like this
Mei Ya extended the ruler towards the pieces of paper on the coffee table, and the pieces of paper were all lifted up by the ruler.
What an amazing magic! Xia Yuan applauded, As expected of our Xiaoya, youre really incredibleyoure truly a magician!
Hahaha!
Hearing Xia Yuans praise, Mei Ya couldnt help but laugh and put her hands on her hips, Sister Yuan Yuan, youre really easy to fool! You actually believed I am a magician. This is just a common static electricity experimentyou must have learned about it. Werent you paying attention in class?
Xia Yuan was speechless, unable to say a word.
I was just playing along with you
Xia Yuan wiped her sweat, Well, since weve finished the experiment, can you do your homework now?
Mei Ya shook her head, This is also part of our homework, oh, its our natural science homework.
Since when has natural science become winter break homework?
Stop listening to my sisters nonsense.
Suddenly, Mei Fang appeared and grabbed Mei Yas ear, Youre willing to do anything except homework, huh? I dont know who you take after hmm, maybe after your dad.
Wuuu, brother is so mean, Sister Yuan Yuan, help me!
Let go of Xiaoya, youre hurting her. Do you hear me?
Xia Yuan hit Mei Fang a few times, and when Mei Fang refused to let go, Xia Yuan grabbed his ear, and only then did Mei Fang release his grip.
You always bully your sister, you should guide her properly to do her homework.
Yeah, big brother is a big silly pig.
Mei Ya pulled down her lower eyelid and stuck out her tongue at Mei Fang. Mei Fang responded with an indifferent expression, If she doesnt finish her homework, then mom will scold me for being irresponsible as an older brother. Well, Im used to being scolded and dont feel like making an effort anymore.
Why are you, as an older brother, so impatient? Hmph, let me guide Xiaoya in her studies, I guarantee shell be obedient.
Okay! Sister Yuan Yuan, teach me! Lets go inside and do our homework!
Mei Ya took Xia Yuans hand and ran towards the bedroom to do their homework.
Meanwhile, Mei Fang stretched and turned on the TV, grabbed some oranges from the fridge, covered himself with a thick blanket, and lay on the couch watching TV.
The show currently airing was My Own Swordsman[1]. Although Mei Fang had watched it a hundred times in his past and present lives, he still found it very entertaining even on the 101st time.
An hour later, Mei Fang almost fell asleep while waiting for the commercials to end, when finally the bedroom door opened.
Brother! I finished my homework!
Ah Fang, look!
Mei Fang was shaken awake by Xia Yuan and Mei Ya.
You can check my homework now! Im done. Impressive, right? Mei Ya wiped her nose and handed her notebook to Mei Fang.
Mei Fang frowned as he scrutinized the homework and then looked up at Mei Ya, Did you do this by yourself?
Of course! Mei Ya replied without any change in her expression.
However, Xia Yuan beside her was already guiltily turning her head away.
Then let me test you What is 3 times 7?
Um
Mei Ya furrowed her brow and made a contemplative sound, while Xia Yuan whispered beside her, Multiplication table, multiplication table!
Oh, right one times one is one, two times three is six, three times three is nine, four times five is twenty, three times five is fifteen, three times six is eighteen, three times seven three times seven
Mei Ya shouted loudly, I wont be wrong this time, its twenty-four!
Slap!
Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan facepalmed.
Show me your palms! Im going to spank them! Letting your sister Yuan Yuan do your homework, huh?
Mei Fang picked up a ruler from the side, ready to discipline this mischievous little sister.
Wuuu, I wont dare anymore, big brother, spare me, I promise to do my homework properly next time, wuuu
At this moment, Xia Yuan also interjected, Ah Fang, you cant physically punish such a young child! Its normal for Xiaoya to be a bit playful at her age she will understand the importance of studying next time
Ah? You dare corrupt my sister and still have the nerve to say that. Show me your palms too! Take off your gloves!
Knowing she was in the wrong, Xia Yuan stood obediently and reluctantly extended her small hands. Mei Fang lightly spanked her palms three times.
Brother, youre so biased you hit me so hard, but you hit Sister Yuan Yuan so lightly hmph, I dont like you anymore!
If you dont like me, why dont you find another brother? I hit you harder because Im your brother, we are family, and family members can be disciplined this way.
Does that mean Sister Yuan Yuan is an outsider? You hit her so lightly!
Mei Ya tearfully said to Xia Yuan, Sister Yuan Yuan, please dont become my brothers wife in the future, hes always so harsh to his family, its really disappointing!
Um, um Xia Yuan rubbed her sore hand and nodded, Sister Yuan Yuan understands!
Huh?
Mei Ya switched from crying mode to her usual self in a second, she whispered to Xia Yuan, Sister Yuan Yuan, dont take it too seriously, I was just joking. My brothers spanking doesnt really hurt, I just made a fuss. You can still be his wife.
Oh, I see Xia Yuan looked a bit embarrassed and looked away.
By the way its almost two oclock, why hasnt Youxi come over yet? We agreed to play Monopoly together!
Ill call and ask.
Mei Fang walked towards the location of their landline phone.
