Three days before the start of school, Yuan Yuan was still struggling with the biological clock. After all, it was very difficult to adjust the day and night in a summer vacation. When I woke up at eleven o'clock this morning, Zhao Guogang and Tan Ruikang were both away and went out. went.
Yuan Yuan felt unhappy that his father had been robbed, and when he saw the note on the table, he knew that they would not be back at noon.
He should go to the exam... I wish him all the best, he will go to school with his bags when he comes back in a few days, lie on the sofa far away on the phone with his friend Qi Huiyu, and complain a few words about his cousin.
"Well, that's how they are there." Yuan Yuan said: "It's also very sad. After finishing elementary school and going to a junior high school, marrying a wife, building a house, farming, raising chickens and pigs, all of your life would have passed like this. His father died and he came to the city to make a living, and it is estimated that he will stay in the countryside for the rest of his life."
Qi Huiyu laughed on the phone: "Did he come to your house to make a joke? My relatives came to make a joke last time."
Yuan Yuan said: "It's okay, quite smart."
Qi Huiyu told a story about a relative from his hometown who came to be a guest and put the fucking electric kettle on the gas stove to cook until the glue at the bottom melted. Yuan Yuan and Huiyu laughed and chatted a few words about the class. Girls gossip, only then hang up the phone.
Yuan Yuan bored through the address book to find someone's answer to the winter vacation homework, this time it was Lin Zibo wearing thick-bottomed glasses.
After answering the answer, Lin Zibo asked, "How is your distant relative?"
Yuan Yuan poured what Qi Huiyu had said earlier on Lin Zibo again. Lin Zibo said, "Their learning progress may not be able to keep up with the education here."
Yuan Yuan said: "Even English is taught by people. My dad should contact the technical school for him. Learning a craft won't starve anyone. Have you done the little paper with additional questions that came out from picking your nose?"
Nose Picking is the math teacher in their class. He likes to use his thumb to pick his nostrils, so he was given this nickname.
Lin Zibo didn't finish his work. He made an appointment to bring it out to Yuanyuan on the same day as the assignment. The doorbell rang, Yuanyuan hung up the phone and went to open the door. Zhao Guogang and Tan Ruikang came back.
"How is it?" Yuan Yuan asked.
Zhao Guogang said: "It's over, your brother is doing very well. School starts on September 2nd. Go change your clothes, go out to dinner, and buy something."
Tan Ruikang smiled, and Zhao Guogang said, "After school, you should hurry up and ask Xiaoyuan if you don't know how."
Tan Ruikang nodded again and again, and Zhao Guogang said again: "It doesn't matter much to stay at the first level, just take care of each other..."
Yuan Yuan heard it inside and asked, "Which one do you want to read? Let's go and have a look after dinner."
Zhao Guogang: "No need, No. 3 Middle School, I have contacted your vice-principal, just go to class on Monday."
distant:"!!!"
"Third High School?!" Yuan Yuan said in disbelief, his worldview was completely overturned, just like a dream, he frowned and said, "You... Tan Ruikang! Did you just enter the Third High School?"
Zhao Guogang was slightly displeased and said: "He wants to stay in the first grade, and come down to study with you in the third year of junior high school. Next year, the two of you will take the high school entrance examination together."
Yuan Yuan's whole person was about to explode. He regarded Tan Ruikang as a transparent person and asked, "Which class? You are not kidding!"
Zhao Guogang said, "Class 1, your top class."
Far away: "This is not... this... "
Zhao Guogang raised his head to look at his son, Yuan Yuan almost blurted out "This can't be done", what a joke! At the beginning of the small rise in Nanguo, the first rise, it is all crowded with a single-plank bridge! Going to the top class in the third middle school is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of a key undergraduate degree with one foot. How did he do it? ! Just by him? !
"This is too..." Yuan Yuan braked in time and changed his words: "It's too powerful."
Yuan Yuan's face darkened, he went back to change his clothes, and came out to put on shoes. Zhao Guogang knew that his son was competitive and jealous, but he couldn't teach him in front of Tan Ruikang, and his face was not very good-looking, so he had to find something else. Diverted towards Tan Ruikang.
Yuan Yuangong is wearing shoes, but his heart is overwhelmed. How good is Tan Ruikang's study? The No. 3 middle school does not have an entrance exam for class transfer. It was his father who first took him to the class leader to make a test paper, and then went to the vice-principal's house to sit for a while. Yuan Yuan recalled that when he was promoted to junior high school from elementary school, Zhao Guogang made it very clear that if he did not pass the test, he would go to the bottom of ordinary middle school.
Yuan Yuan worked so hard to read, but in the end, he was still a few points short. Of course, Zhao Guogang went to a friend from the Education Bureau to open a notice, but he was still put in. Only later did Yuan Yuan know that Zhao Guogang also paid 30,000 yuan to choose a school. fee.
The distant self-esteem suffered a great setback, and realized that one cannot rely on his father all his life. After entering junior high school, he studied hard and finally got some results. When he was complacent enough, such an inconspicuous Tan Ruikang was also stuffed into it, and he was still in the dark. Be in the same class as yourself!
How much money did Zhao Guogang pay
Yuan Yuan put on his shoes, got up and followed Zhao Guogang out, and suddenly asked in the elevator, "Dad, did you pay for the school selection fee? Now tens of thousands of dollars for a class? Or 30,000?"
Zhao Guogang was tricked by his son again, and he didn't answer, and he didn't answer. After Yuan Yuan asked, he stared blankly at the elevator button, knowing that Zhao Guogang was completely unable to answer.
Answer the 30,000 school fee, and Tan Ruikang is next to him.
The answer is no, Zhao Guo just has to take care of his son's mood, and it is impossible to think about it. Yuanyuan knows his alma mater well.
Tan Ruikang was startled and asked, "Uncle, what is it, what is the fee?"
Zhao Guogang said solemnly: "It's not yet decided, let's see his high school entrance examination results."
"Oh." Yuan Yuan said coldly.
Tan Ruikang's face was a little overwhelmed. He heard an astronomical figure, but he didn't know what was in it, and the atmosphere between Yuan Yuan and Zhao Guogang was a little stiff, and there was a low air pressure in the elevator.
Yuan Yuan has heard the truth that his father's money is his money countless times. Many relatives of Zhao Guogang's family have told him to look after his father and not be deceived of money. Zhao Guogang didn't renew his string, and Yuan Yuan couldn't be willing to have more than one stepmother. His desire for monopoly was not ordinary, no one could occupy his father, and their father and son's money could not be spent by outsiders.
When Zhao Guogang went to drive, Tan Ruikang asked in a low voice, "Yuan Yuan, what is the school selection fee?"
Yuan Yuan said kindly: "It's nothing, congratulations, brother, we will be classmates from now on."
Tan Ruikang's brows were twisted into a knot, and Zhao Guogang drove the car over and took them to lunch. By the way, let's talk a few words about the new semester. I'm going to buy Tan Ruikang new schoolbags, stationery, clothes and shoes, and office card.
Yuan Yuan didn't say a word, and sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the window to watch the scorching sun outside, wondering if Tan Ruikang was born illegitimately by Zhao Guogang.
"The year your father brought you here." Zhao Guogang said, "Xiaoyuan is only two years old, and you are four years old."
Tan Ruikang's brows stretched temporarily and said, "I forgot."
Zhao Guogang said: "At that time, it was still a development zone, but now it is the city center. Xiaoyuan's mother asked your father to do business, and just started reform and opening up... Yuanye's stock was three yuan per share, and at its peak it rose to Over one hundred."
Tan Ruikang said, "Why didn't my dad come back then?"
Zhao Guogang said: "He said that the two elders in his hometown were not taken care of, that Xiaoyuan's grandfather was not used to living in the city, and that no one took care of the fields at home."
"Now, Tiandu is rented out?" Yuan Yuan said.
Zhao Guogang said: "There are not many people in your mother's uncle's family now farming. It may be a few years before the tourism industry can develop... In the blink of an eye, it will be so many years."
The car stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light, Zhao Guogang said, "Brother Ruikang liked you so much when he first saw you, hugged you and kissed you all the time..."
A blush appeared on Yuan Yuan's face, and he said angrily, "Don't mention these things, okay?"
Tan Ruikang laughed and said, "Uncle, I forgot."
Zhao Guogang thought of his deceased wife, his voice was much gentler, and he said, "Ruikang is still reluctant to leave, saying that he wants his younger brother and his younger brother."
Tan Ruikang sighed: "My mother was no longer there at that time. She said before that she would give birth to a younger brother for me."
Zhao Guogang hummed casually, stepped on the accelerator and said, "Although Xiaoyuan's mother and your father are cousins, they had the best relationship when they were young. Xiaoyuan, you and your brother should get along well, you know?"
Yuan Yuan replied coldly, Zhao Guogang knew that this son was just when he was in his youth, and if he talked too much, he would only quarrel, so he gently exposed it.
At noon, Zhao Guogang took them to dinner. Tan Ruikang was not used to eating white-cut chicken with blood, so Zhao Guogang ordered some other dishes for him. In the distant eyes, he only felt that Tan Ruikang was getting more and more annoying. There is also an indescribable sense of rejection.
Zhao Guogang is still very talkative. After working in the mall for many years, it is no problem to coax two children. Tan Ruikang has something to say when he talks about his hometown. Dao Sunzi, a specialty of my hometown... Yuan Yuan was upset when he heard it. When Tan Ruikang spoke, he didn't speak, and when Yuan Yuan spoke, 80% of Tan Ruikang couldn't understand, so he couldn't interrupt.
After barely finishing the meal, Zhao Guogang took them to buy things again. Yuan Yuan rarely bought schoolbags and stationery in Guomao - he didn't like these, it was Zhao Guogang's habit. Yuan Yuan likes to go to the pedestrian street to find some cheap but fashionable boy cartoon things, such as cool cats or Japanese goods.
The one-shoulder bag that Zhao Guogang bought for Tan Ruikang, the stationery was very expensive, but it looked mediocre and had no taste at all. He also bought a pair of sneakers, and the sneakers of that style were paid for far away and never worn.
When checking out, Tan Ruikang insisted on paying by himself. Yuan Yuan felt helpless and amused. Zhao Guogang said, "Ruikang, don't be polite to your uncle. After you work, you will have time to buy things for your uncle."
Tan Ruikang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded gratefully.
Zhao Guogang drove back to the downstairs community, paid Tan Ruikang to cut his hair first, and took Yuan Yuan upstairs, intending to appease his son, but the two started arguing after a few words when they got home.
"How much did you spend on him?!" Yuan Yuan said, "Why didn't you tell me!"
Zhao Guogang said: "Yuan, his father is your mother's brother, you are the only child, you don't understand brotherhood..."
Yuan Yuan: "The problem is that he wasn't born to you! Why?! He is an adult and can fully support himself! Why don't you go to work?!"
Zhao Guogang took a deep breath, unable to communicate with this son at all.
"Suppose, Xiaoyuan, if your father and mother left you together." Zhao Guogang said: "If you leave high school after graduating from junior high school and go out to work by yourself, do you think fate is fair to you? Put yourself in the shoes and think about it, your cousin Brother is only seventeen years old this year! Letting him go to the construction site with his junior high school education to move bricks is simply ruining him! Would you like to replace it with you?"
Yuan Yuan said: "What's so difficult about being self-reliant! It's really my turn, then I can also support myself! While working and studying, who must rely on their parents?"
Zhao Guogang said: "It's easy to say, since you said that, Dad paid for him tuition and school selection fees, why are you angry again?"
Distant speech.
Zhao Guogang was about to say something to comfort him, but Yuan Yuan returned to the room with a dark face, slammed the door, and locked it.
Zhao Guogang knew Yuan Yuan, but he was just talking about it. If he really wanted Yuan Yuan to go out to work, this young master would definitely lose his temper within two days. This kid has been used to it too much since he was a child, and he doesn’t know how to leave the society in the future. manage.
After smoking a cigarette, Zhao Guogang knocked on the door and said with a pleasant face, "Xiaoyuan, Dad is in this world, the only person I love the most is you. Think clearly for yourself, how can you be mad at Dad?"
Hearing those words, Yuan Yuan burst into tears. He lay on the bed and flipped through the picture album, but did not open the door. Zhao Guogang knew that he wanted to save face, so he stopped knocking on the door, and called the company driver to buy food and deliver it, and began to clean up.
Halfway through the cleaning, and when he came out to the bathroom in the distance, Zhao Guogang said, "Take care of the dishes. Let's cook and eat by ourselves at night."
After Yuan Yuan was angry, he had to go down the steps, so he couldn't face his father anymore. He went into the kitchen to wash the vegetables. Tan Ruikang also came back, cut his hair very short, and said with a smile, "Uncle."
Zhao Guogang said: "I'm very energetic, I cut it well, Xiaoyuan, after school starts, your hair will also be trimmed."
When Tan Ruikang came back, he consciously went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Yuan Yuan remained silent. Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "Xiao Yuan, how's your brother's hair cut?"
I glanced at him in the distance, thinking that he is quite handsome, does the barber know how to cut his hair short? The previous oily and greasy impression is gone, the wash is very dry, and there is still a faint fragrance on the body.
It took a lot of effort for the shampoo girl to straighten Tan Ruikang's hair.
Yuan Yuan said perfunctorily: "Yes, very spiritual."
"Your hair is beautiful." Tan Ruikang said, "How much did you cut? The people in the store washed and permed my hair again, which really scared me. They even had to massage. I said no, no, no, how many cuts? It becomes…”
"We all have massages here." Yuan Yuan said, "A massage is only ten yuan, washing, cutting, blowing and blowing fifteen dollars. The massage is much more comfortable, energetic, nothing."
Tan Ruikang said: "Isn't it necessary to cut it short after washing? Isn't this a waste of washing? A waste of money."
Distant: "… "
Yuan Yuan realized that he and Tan Ruikang really didn't have any common language, so he nodded and said yes. Zhao Guogang came over to cook in his apron after cleaning, and Tan Ruikang hurriedly said, "I'll come."
Zhao Guogang said: "Xiaoyuan is stubborn, uncle will serve him first, and then you can cook for him when uncle doesn't come back."
Tan Ruikang said yes with a smile, and seeing that there was no place for himself in the kitchen, he went back to the room.
Yuan Yuan attacked Zhao Guogang, Zhao Guogang said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yuan, you are the son of your father, and no one can take your place. You are the master of this family. What's the matter, let your cousin let you know? ."
Yuan Yuan's eyes were a little red, and with a sigh, Zhao Guogang said, "Bring the fish."
Zhao Guogang took the prepared materials, made a steamed fish, hugged Zhao Guogang's waist from behind, and put his face on his back.
Zhao Guogang was 1.8 meters tall, so he had to be careful not to touch the smoking machine when he cooked. He was 1.7 meters away, and he was just shoulder height.
Zhao Guogang let him hold him from behind, turned around to make steamed fish and soy sauce, and moved Yuanyao around, just like when Zhao Guogang cooked for Yaoyao when he was a child, Xiaoyao held his leg in a daze and didn't let go.
Zhao Guogang said, "You're almost as tall as your father, but you still act like a spoiled child. Be careful of being laughed at by your cousin."
Yuan Yuan let go of his hand and went out to watch TV angrily.
Four dishes and one soup for dinner, Zhao Guogang's craftsmanship is very good, and what he cooks is what Yuan Yuan likes to eat. Yuan Yuan's mood is also better, and he doesn't care much. But thinking about the start of school over the weekend, and having to take such a cousin to his class, and having to take care of him, Yuan Yuan only felt dizzy.
The last few days of the vacation went by so fast, Yuan Yuan couldn't help screaming frantically when he got out of the bed.
"what-"
Everything has been sorted out. Tan Ruikang is eating breakfast outside. As soon as he opens the door, he feels hot and uncomfortable. Yuan Yuan can't wait to go back to the air-conditioned room to continue sleeping.
Yuan Yuan finished brushing his teeth and washing his face. He sat down at the table expressionlessly, facing a plate of steamed buns, and immediately lost his appetite. Zhao Guogang asked Tan Ruikang to take out the quick-frozen food in the refrigerator and steam it, but Tan Ruikang would not touch anything else. Unluckily, I steamed a large plate of quick-frozen steamed buns.
"Eat more." Tan Ruikang said.
White water and steamed buns, Yuan Yuan was completely speechless. He got up and went to take out the doll snacks and siu mai shrimp dumplings in the refrigerator and put them in the microwave oven. He boiled water to make tea without saying a word.
"Xiaoyuan has the urge to get up." Zhao Guogang said, "Don't mess with him."
Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "I see."
With a ding sound, Yuan Yuan started to eat his shumai shrimp dumplings Pu'er tea, reluctantly ate some, and pushed the rest in front of Tan Ruikang, who waved his hand hurriedly: "I won't eat it."
Yuan Yuan put on his socks and put on his shoes, sitting on the sofa before waking up, he cried out and fell on Zhao Guogang, leaning on his thigh to watch the morning news on Jade Channel.
Tan Ruikang came out with his schoolbag and said, "How do I use this card? How many buses do I take?"
Zhao Guogang said: "Xiaoyuan will teach you, go ahead, go to school on the first day, and get along well with your classmates."
Zhao Guogang flipped through his wallet and gave Yuan Yuan and Tan Ruikang money, each gave five hundred, and he put it in his pocket without looking at Yuan Yuan. Tan Ruikang hurriedly said, "No, uncle, I have it myself..."
"Come on, the car will leave later." Yuan Yuan said impatiently, anyway, Tan Ruikang cost his father 30,000, and 400 is nothing.
Zhao Guogang said: "Take it, if the living expenses are gone, ask your uncle to ask for it. When you work, there are times when you use money for your uncle."
As soon as Zhao Guogang said this, Tan Ruikang nodded and accepted, and Yuan Yuan took him downstairs, left the community to take a car, and started the first day of the new semester of the third grade.
