In Xia Shao's view, what Grandpa Cai said just now, let alone anything else, was what the phrase "big grandson" meant. Shu Mark's own father is the eldest son of the family, and Xia Shao is the eldest granddaughter. Not to mention that the aunt later gave birth to a daughter, even if she did give birth to a son, he would still be a grandson! Grandpa said this, didn't he just leave himself out
Xia Shao's grandfather Xia Guoxi is a veteran. Originally, a soldier like him could be arranged to go to the city and have a good and leisurely job, be respected by others, and be a veteran cadre after all. But because he had a bad temper and refused to buy anyone's face, he offended someone and sent him to the countryside with a few acres of land. This made Xia Guoxi feel very unbalanced. He didn't even plant any crops, and left everything to his grandma. He pretended to be the head of the family and drank alcohol at home all day long. And he has a very traditional mentality of favoring boys over girls. Xia Shao once heard her mother say that when she was born, her grandfather heard that she was a girl, but he didn't even look at her for a whole month.
Now that his aunt Jiang Qiulin is pregnant, the grandfather has pinned his hopes on his daughter-in-law, hoping that she can continue the family line. But ironically, his expectations were destined to be dashed.
In fact, after Xia Guoxi married Xia Zhiwei, his son from his ex-wife, they gave birth to a son. However, this son was influenced by his father who was in the underworld all day long and was arrogant all day long. His expectations were placed on his other two sons, but the results were disappointing.
Although Xia Shao didn't understand the complex world of adults when she was a child, she still felt her grandfather's cold words and indifference. She felt that she was not liked, which undoubtedly hurt her young mind. As a result, she always felt that she was not good enough, had an inferiority complex, and her personality began to become a little introverted. In the village, she was only friends with Sister Cuicui from Aunt Meng's house. After she went to school, she could always count her friends.
But things are different now. Xia Shao has an adult's mind and a mature mentality. She has experienced the workplace and understands many rules and principles in society.
Inferiority and cowardice will not do you any good. It will only reduce your sense of existence and make others ignore you even more. No one will give you anything in this world for no reason. If you want it, you must fight for it yourself!
Although she is still young, Xia Shao will not wait until she grows up before changing. Since she was reborn this year, she needs to change now!
Therefore, when the atmosphere among the adults in the room was undercurrent, she made a move that surprised everyone.
She walked towards Xia Guoxi with a smile, took the old man's calloused hand, raised her face, and said with a sweet smile: "Grandpa, aunt will definitely give birth to a younger brother! When Shao'er grows up, she will be filial to her younger brother. grandparents!"
The nine-year-old girl's voice was still a little childish, but her sweet smile and innocent eyes made everyone in the room stunned.
The most shocked person is Xia Guoxi. His granddaughter has always been afraid of him. She usually only hangs around her grandma. She doesn't even have the courage to raise her eyes and look at her. What happened today
Xia Guoxi looked at Xia Shao in shock. This child looked like his own son. He had white skin, big eyes, a round face, and black hair. He looked like a beauty at first glance. At this moment, he could clearly feel his granddaughter's hand in his palm, and it felt like he could squeeze out water with just a little squeeze.
Although he favors sons over daughters and thinks that his grandson is more important than his granddaughter, after so many years, he has accepted it even if he doesn't accept it. However, he still has the thought of having a grandson in his heart, so he has become more indifferent to his granddaughter. But in the final analysis, they are all of his own blood. At this time, he was stared at by the innocent eyes of the child. It was absolutely unconscionable to say that he was not touched at all.
Just when Xia Guoxi couldn't recover from the shock, Xia Shao's grandma was the first to smile.
"Oh, old man, look at how sensible our granddaughter is! She knows at such a young age that she must respect her elders when she grows up. She is really her own child, and her pain is not in vain!"
The uncle and aunt also laughed. Children's words are the most auspicious. As a Chinese New Year, being told by a child that there is a boy in the belly is undoubtedly the greatest blessing. They are naturally happy.
The most gratifying thing was Xia Shao's parents. The mother changed her sad expression and looked at her daughter with eyes full of praise and relief. Somehow this child managed to coax her grandfather. Look at this sentence, it made the whole family happy.
Xia Guoxi couldn't react for a moment, so he finally said "hmm" and went back to the house without giving any instructions for the first time.
No one saw the innocent child slowly lower his eyes, a meaningful smile appearing in his eyes.
This is how Xia Shao dealt with it as an adult. Although she was angry with her grandfather and uncle and aunt for their behavior, she could not lose her temper at them. After all, she was only ten years old even after the Chinese New Year, and she had no words at all at home, let alone status. The result of making noises and chaos will only make your parents be blamed, and they will be accused of being incompetent in educating their daughter, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Not everything in this world requires toughness to achieve benefits, especially when facing one's own relatives. Although there are conflicts with each other, they are not deep hatreds, so there is no need to make a fuss.
Even if you are facing a stranger, you won’t hit the smiling person with your hand! What's more, facing one's own relatives, the other party is still a child
Knowing this, Xia Shao was extremely diligent in the past two days, helping with this and that. As a child, she couldn't actually help much, but she always made the elders feel very sensible. On the eve of New Year's Eve, Xia Shao served tea and water to her grandparents. Her little mouth was very sweet and her words were auspicious, which made the old people happy.
This was the first time that her mother, Li Juan, had married into the Xia family. During the Chinese New Year, her father-in-law Xia Guoxi did not scold her with a cold face. Her complicated emotions made her have tears in her eyes.
She could see that all this was due to her daughter's sensibility, so she didn't pay much attention to her daughter's sudden change. After all, the child's character can change at any time, so she was just secretly pleased.
This year's New Year's Eve, the family is having fun, and the adults are enjoying this rare time. No one noticed that Xia Shao, who had made all this happen, was sighing secretly.
These things are too simple for her. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. After the new year, she would be ten years old and in the fourth grade of elementary school. But in her opinion at this time, the primary school curriculum was simply pediatrics and not worth wasting time at all. Is it possible that she has to skip a grade to junior high school? To be honest, junior high school courses can be skipped by her. But she can't just jump to high school, right? That's not a prodigy, he's a monster!
Xia Shao must think about what the aura of a child prodigy will bring to her if she chooses to skip a grade. It's nothing more than envy and praise, plus the school's exemption of tuition and fees, special awards and some reports. Compulsory education only requires miscellaneous fees, which is not much money. The special rewards are probably not that much according to the economic level of these days.
For Xia Shao, her biggest regret in her previous life was that in addition to not being able to see her grandma when she passed away, there was also an unsolvable knot in her heart that was that when she graduated from junior high school, her father's factory closed down and her laid-off father went to work for her. To provide her with a better life, she chose to go to the southern city to work alone. Once she left, she was separated from her mother for ten years!
If she starts over in this life, she will definitely stop this from happening! To put it bluntly, the only way to change this is money! Only with financial ability can parents never be separated again.
Xia Shao actually knew in her heart that what she urgently wanted to do was go into business! But at her current age...
It seems that we need to think and plan carefully.
The moment the New Year's bell rang, firecrackers were set off in the yard. In this joyous atmosphere, Xia Shao began to meditate.
Little did she know at this time that the turning point would come two days later, on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
A shocking discovery that day changed her life. And let her create a mythical glorious era in the business world, politics and even the underworld in the future...
