I Have an Immortal Emperor Uncle Who Farms at Home Chapter 11: Our Brother Is Back

Qiming Middle School is the only middle school in Laiyang Town. It includes elementary, junior high, and senior high sections.

In the high school department, inside the senior-year teachers' office.

"Ye Qingcheng, I’m afraid this isn’t possible. The school has its own rules."

"Teacher Liang, I’m begging you."

Two women’s voices came from inside the office.

The "Teacher Liang" Ye Qingcheng was speaking to was Liang Huaiyu, Ye Fan’s homeroom teacher back when Ye Fan was in high school. Today, Ye Qingcheng was the first to come to the school to find her, pleading for Ye Fan to be given a chance.

"Ye Qingcheng, I’m not saying anything against you, but you have to understand Ye Fan has been away from school for a whole year," Liang Huaiyu explained helplessly.

One year ago, Ye Fan suddenly disappeared. The school tried to contact Ye Qingcheng at the time, but even she didn’t know where Ye Fan was. In the end, the school had no choice but to process Ye Fan’s withdrawal.

"Teacher Liang, Ye Fan has come back now. Please, give him a chance."

Ye Fan, standing behind Ye Qingcheng, couldn’t bear to watch his sister pleading like that, so he quickly stepped forward to persuade, "Enough, sis, do we really have to go back to this school?"

But in Ye Qingcheng’s eyes, in today’s society, it’s hard to stand firm without knowledge and education.

Ye Qingcheng turned around and glared at Ye Fan, signaling him not to speak. Then she looked at Liang Huaiyu again and begged, "Teacher Liang, I’m begging you. Ye Fan is still young. He needs to study."

"Ye Qingcheng, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but the school has already marked Ye Fan as withdrawn. There are official records now."

Even if Liang Huaiyu wanted to help, she didn’t have the authority.

Hearing that Ye Fan was already on record as withdrawn, Ye Qingcheng felt completely discouraged. "What can we do now?"

"I have a solution!"

Just as Ye Qingcheng was at a loss, Yang Lili entered the office with a voice.

"Lili, why are you here?" Ye Qingcheng greeted Yang Lili.

Yang Lili came over, took Ye Qingcheng’s hand, and smiled, "Ye Qingcheng, I’m now the Dean of this school."

"Dean Yang," Liang Huaiyu greeted warmly upon seeing Yang Lili arrive.

What surprised Liang Huaiyu even more was that Dean Yang and Ye Qingcheng knew each other, and they seemed quite familiar.

After Yang Lili glanced at Liang Huaiyu and nodded, she took Ye Qingcheng’s hand and led her outside.

Ye Fan could only carry Nuonuo, who was sitting on the sofa, and followed them out.

"Lili, where are you taking me?"

Yang Lili didn’t stop walking; she just held Ye Qingcheng’s hand and led her upstairs.

After a short while, Yang Lili brought Ye Qingcheng to the principal’s office.

"Qingcheng, we’re here," she said, then knocked on the door and called inside, "Uncle, it’s Lili."

After a moment, a middle-aged man’s voice came from inside: "Come in."

After everyone entered, Yang Lili began explaining Ye Fan’s situation.

"Uncle, can you help Ye Fan?"

Of course, Zhang Jinshan was familiar with Ye Fan. A year ago, Ye Fan was a well-known top student in the school.

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, he suddenly disappeared later and couldn’t be contacted no matter what.

"Lili, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but Ye Fan has neglected his studies for a whole year. It might not be possible for him to suddenly enter Grade 12 now," Zhang Jinshan explained slowly.

"Uncle, is there really no other way?"

Just when everyone thought there was no solution, Zhang Jinshan slowly said, "But I can let him study in Grade 11."

But when Ye Fan heard that he had to start from Grade 11, he immediately said unhappily, "No way! If I’m going to study, I want Grade 12. Otherwise, I won’t study at all."

Right now, studying the knowledge on Earth was boring and dull to Ye Fan. Having to study for one more year? He absolutely refused.

"Oh, I’m telling you, kid, it’s already good enough that I’m letting you start from Grade 11," Zhang Jinshan pointed at Ye Fan and continued, "Besides, even if you go to Grade 12, how can you keep up with their pace?"

Yang Lili and Ye Qingcheng listened to Zhang Jinshan and agreed it was indeed the case.

Since Ye Fan had missed a year of school, even if he entered Grade 12 and took the college entrance exam after half a year, there was no guarantee he could succeed.

"Don’t worry about that, Principal Zhang. I’m pretty confident in my talent," Ye Fan said, rubbing his head, full of confidence.

"Hmph, I think you’re just being arrogant," Zhang Jinshan said after pausing for a moment, then added, "Since that’s the case, finish this set of test papers for me. I’m not asking for much, just pass."

After saying that, Zhang Jinshan took out the recent mock exam papers for the senior high school students from the drawer.

Yang Lili immediately recognized the test papers in Zhang Jinshan’s hand. "Uncle, how could Ye Fan possibly finish this math test? You have to know, only about twenty students in the entire grade passed this test."

Yang Lili was very confused about Zhang Jinshan’s approach.

"That’s his own fault," Zhang Jinshan said to Yang Lili, then looked softly at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, have you thought it over?"

"No need to think about it. Give me two hours to finish," Ye Fan replied.

Hearing Ye Fan’s decision, Zhang Jinshan nodded and said, "Alright, as long as you reach the passing accuracy, I’ll arrange for your enrollment immediately."

Then Zhang Jinshan handed the test papers to Ye Fan.

"Also, to make sure you don’t cheat, you must take the test right here in front of me."

"Where I take the test doesn’t matter," Ye Fan said with a slight smile.

Cheat? Even though Ye Fan had wasted a year, he would never stoop so low as to cheat.

"Fine, Yang Lili, you all can leave now. I’ll watch him here."

Seeing his uncle’s attitude, it seemed there was no room for negotiation. Yang Lili had no choice but to lead Ye Qingcheng and Nuonuo out of the office.

Outside the office, Ye Qingcheng anxiously asked, "Yang Lili, do you think he has a chance?"

"Sigh, if Ye Fan hadn’t missed a year of classes, this test would be easy for him. But now..."

As she spoke, Yang Lili’s voice grew heavy.

Ye Qingcheng could also see the answer in Yang Lili’s eyes. "Sigh, it’s all up to Ye Fan now."

"Mama, we have to believe Uncle. He will definitely pass."

This time, Ye Qingcheng didn’t answer Nuonuo. She just held Nuonuo’s little hand tightly.

……

Time passed second by second, and news about Ye Fan returning to school quickly spread like wildfire through the Grade 12 classrooms.

Grade 12, Class 1

"Chen Zhihao, Chen Zhihao, our brother is back!"

Just after class ended, a boy ran over and shouted into Chen Zhihao’s ear while he was resting his head on the desk.

"Han Cong, do you have a death wish?"

Chen Zhihao, who had been nearly asleep, was suddenly awakened by Han Cong’s loud voice. Anger immediately surged out of him, but after he fully woke up, he realized something and asked, "Our brother? Who?"

"Oh, come on, Big Brain Chen, who else could it be but our brother?"

"That missing Ye Fan. What about him?"

"He’s right now in the principal’s office?"

"What?"

Chen Zhihao shook his head, trying to stay fully awake, and asked again, "Han Cong, say it again, where is Ye Fan?"

"In the principal’s office."

"Damn it, why didn’t you say so earlier? Let’s go check that guy out quickly. I need to give him a good lesson."

Ye Fan, Han Cong, and Chen Zhihao had been inseparable brothers since middle school. They were very close friends.

Back then, Ye Fan’s family conditions were very poor. The other two didn’t look down on him; instead, they secretly gave him money from their own homes. Ye Fan didn’t treat them as outsiders either and gladly accepted their kindness.

As Chen Zhihao and Han Cong ran out, the classroom instantly exploded with chatter.

"They just said Ye Fan is back?"

"Yes. When I went to the bathroom just now, I heard other classes saying Ye Fan is in the principal’s office."

"Ye Fan wasted a whole year of school. Even if he’s back, there’s no way he can join Grade 12."

"Exactly. Trying to go straight into Grade 12 is really bad for college prep."
