"I can also help you with your job. It's not easy for you to take care of a child!"
Although there was a hint of blame in his words, Bai Chen found them very useful.
His behavior made Bai Chen feel confused again.
He was nothing like the brother I remembered.
He seemed to genuinely care about the girl.
No matter what, Bai Chen now felt a little warmth from body to heart. His family is still the best.
Much better than the Zhou family.
Little Dongdong kept his head held high and stared at his uncle with his big eyes. He had never seen this person before.
When Bai Chen brought him down, he didn't specify who he wanted to meet.
In his opinion, this uncle was very kind and much better than his father whom he had only met a few times.
Bai Chen rubbed his head and reminded him, "Call me uncle."
"Uncle." Dongdong called out very obediently. He knew that his mother's brother was called uncle, as it was sung like that in nursery rhymes.
"Oh! Good boy." Wei Qiang squatted down and picked up Dongdong with great effort. The child was so strong and cute.
After getting in the car, Wei Qiang drove and planned to take his children to the amusement park for a day.
Dongdong was so excited that he danced and sang the songs he learned in kindergarten to make his mother and uncle happy. For a moment, the car was full of laughter.
In fact, Wei Qiang was not at peace at this time.
Over the years, he has always wanted to meet Juanmei and once called Zhou's house, but she never answered his calls.
She didn't even go back to visit the Wei family during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, as if she had never had anything to do with the Wei family again.
He was helpless about his parents' preference for boys over girls. He was the direct beneficiary, so he felt very embarrassed when facing the resentment from his eldest sister and two younger sisters.
When he was a child, he felt that he was taller than his sisters because of his parents' preferential treatment.
So sometimes I act bossy.
It wasn't until he learned that Juanmei had been admitted to a prestigious university that he suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that I am not that great, and that Juanmei, who has always been ignored, is the best.
In the entire Dongming County, the number of people who were able to be admitted to famous schools in the past ten years can be counted on one’s fingers.
That is the school that many students dream of!
My parents provided me with good food and drink, but I only got into an ordinary second-tier university.
Juanmei has always been short of food and clothing, and her parents never pay attention to her, but she was able to get into a prestigious university.
What made him feel the most sad was that in the end, his parents cruelly ruined Juanmei's dream of going to college.
At that time, when he learned that Juanmei failed to go to college and went to Zhou's house out of spite, he felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart.
He felt that he was blocking Juanmei's dream of going to college.
Since then, he has become much more sensible. Whenever he sees a girl who seems extremely outstanding because she went to a prestigious school, he always thinks of his sister.
If Juanmei could also go to college, her life would be so brilliant!
In these years, after graduating from college, he encountered obstacles everywhere and suffered a lot. What he learned in school was of no use at all in his work.
It is very difficult for students graduating from ordinary colleges to find a good job.
Whenever he encountered setbacks, he would always think of Juanmei, who was admitted to a prestigious university but failed to attend.
Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, he would always think of Juanmei, who had been angry with the Wei family, and feel sorry for her and sad for her.
After several years of hard work, he finally settled down.
He would go home every Spring Festival, but every time he went home, he never got to see his sister, who was a top student.
I heard that she gave birth to a child when she was nineteen years old, and I heard that she had been earning money to support her husband's college education.
I heard that her husband hasn't been home for two years since he graduated from college.
Over the years, whenever the Wei family reunited during the Chinese New Year or other holidays, Juanmei was the only one missing.
The two villages are obviously not far apart, but they seem like they are thousands of miles apart.
Juanmei didn't allow the Wei family to visit her. Even if they went, she would not see them, and she would not take the initiative to contact the Wei family.
It's as if we'll never see each other again.
Whenever her parents talked about this, they started to scold her, saying that she was unfilial and had raised her for more than ten years in vain.
But often at that time, he or his older sister and younger sister would argue for Juanmei.
It was the parents who were sorry for Juanmei. No matter how poor the family was at that time, couldn't they still get a loan? But I heard that when she asked her parents to be guarantors, they were unwilling.
Thinking of this, Wei Qiang couldn't help but sigh with sadness.
"Now that you're out, make a name for yourself before going back. I'm willing to support you, so don't be afraid.
Back then, it was your parents who let you down, and your brother also let you down."
Wei Qiang felt a sour nose and his eyes were misty.
Bai Chen also felt sad. Maybe he always felt guilty because Wei Juan was admitted to the prestigious school but he was not able to attend.
But in fact, Wei Juan’s failure to go to college had nothing to do with her brother Wei Qiang.
Even if the Wei family didn't have a son, Wei Juan's parents might not let her go to college.
Because of what he said, Bai Chen had a much better impression of Wei Juan's brother.
Although her brother is not as handsome as Zhou Jianlin, his character is definitely much better.
In fact, in Wei Juan's memory, her brother's character was not very good.
When he was a child, he often laughed at his sisters at home, and the sense of superiority of being a son was always shown on his face.
Wei Juan never treated him well either. She was full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Being born in an environment that favors boys over girls, it would be easy for a son to grow up in a wrong way, but he is fine. Maybe it was his later life experiences that made him sensible.
He is very different from when he was a kid.
The two siblings played with the child for the whole day. Little Dongdong was always excited and became more and more attached to his uncle.
When Dongdong returned home in the afternoon, he was so tired that he fell asleep.
Wei Qiang gritted his teeth and carried the child to the fifth floor. How could this child be so heavy
He is very strong and has good arm strength.
When the child is sleepy, he has to sleep for several hours and no matter how you rub him, he won't wake up.
"Dongdong didn't take a nap today. Why don't we let him sleep for a while longer?" Wei Qiang put Dongdong on the crib and asked Bai Chen for his opinion.
Bai Chen nodded, took out another Dongdong face towel, wrung out the water, and prepared to wipe the child's face.
But the towel in his hand was taken by Wei Qiang, "Let me help wipe him, you sit down and rest for a while." He was very familiar, as if he had returned to his childhood.
When the two siblings were in middle school, they attended the same middle school. When they went home on weekends, their parents always assigned the younger sister a lot of work to do.
Sometimes the brother would help out and let his sister take a rest.
But I have to do it behind my parents' back, otherwise, my sister will definitely be the one who gets scolded.
Once, the brother was helping with work and was seen by his father, and then his father slapped his sister.
The younger sister got angry and didn’t talk to her brother for a month.
He always felt that his brother was deliberately making trouble for him.
Later, the two siblings became more and more distant from each other, and drifted further and further apart. They even walked home from school in separate directions and ignored each other.
Maybe there really is a misunderstanding between the two siblings, or maybe the sister is unilaterally misunderstanding her brother.
Bai Chen sat on the stool next to him, recalling every detail of the two siblings' childhood.
Wei Qiang was surprisingly good at taking care of the child. He washed the sleeping child's face, wiped his hands and feet, and did it very efficiently, as if he had taken care of a child before.
"My girlfriend got sick last year and I took care of her in the hospital for a few months, so taking care of the child is no problem for me at all."
Wei Qiang explained shyly.
"Your girlfriend! Where is she now?" Bai Chen asked casually, "Is she okay now?"
