() "Brother Wen, Brother Xiaolin is different now than before. Maybe you don't know yet! He ranked tenth in Jian'an City No. 1 Middle School in the last mock exam!"
Before Su Lin could speak, the cute little cousin Han Lingling couldn't stop pouting and retorted to her cousin Su Wen.
"Tenth place in grade? Or from Jian'an No. 1 Middle School? Impossible! My best score back then was only in the twenties. When Su Lin first entered No. 1 Middle School, his score was in the top 50, and now he is in the top 50. So powerful? Don’t fool me!”
Su Wencai didn't believe that Su Lin, who was at the bottom of the class before, could pass the tenth grade. In his heart, he must be bragging again, so he sneered, stepped forward and patted Su Lin on the shoulder, as if he was an elder brother. Zang Zhi educated Su Lin: "Xiao Lin! As your cousin, I have to talk about you. There is no shame in having poor test scores or anything like that. You can't formalize this issue. Instead, you talk about bragging that it's yours. That’s not right.”
"Haha! Brother Wen, what are my test scores? Believe it or not, you won't believe me even if I tell you. When my college entrance examination scores come in, you will know without me having to tell you."
Su Lin didn't have much fondness for his cousin Su Wen, who was only one year older than him. He was one year ahead of him in No. 1 Middle School. His grades were not as good as his, and he would be brought up at every family gathering. In comparison, Su Lin was the one who was ridiculed in the end. It is precisely because of this that Su Wen always feels proud in front of Su Lin. In his opinion, Sulin will definitely be worse than him for the rest of his life.
"Hey! You're quite confident. Su Lin, it seems that you did well in the college entrance examination! Then I'm waiting for the good news about your title on the gold list... I hope you can get into a second-tier university!"
Su Wen felt a little bit weird, and satirized Su Lin for a while. Su Lin was too lazy to pay attention to him. Instead, he took his cute little cousin Han Lingling aside to play.
"Lingling, come here, brother, I want to ask you something..."
Pulling Han Lingling into another room, Su Lin asked with a smile, "Lingling, do you know a man named Han Xiaoxiao? He is a prisoner!"
As early as the second time he met Han Xiaoxiao, Su Lin remembered that his aunt's cousin happened to be named Han Lingling, and wondered if they were related in any way.
"Han Xiaoxiao? This name is pretty good! But I don't know him! None of the sisters in our family are named Han Xiaoxiao!"
Han Lingling thought for a while, blinked her cute big eyes, and then she pulled Su Lin's arm like a bird and said coquettishly, "Brother Xiao Lin! I heard from my second aunt that your grades were all mentioned in the last month. Can you hurry up and teach me your magical learning method? Then I don’t have to be forced by my mother to go to various tutoring classes every day. Hey... The dark senior year of high school is coming, and there is no time to play... "
"Hmph! With my little head, I want to play all day long! Do you really want to know my learning method?"
Looking at Lingling's cousin, she looked pitiful, like one of those cute little lolita in Japanese anime, with big eyes, long eyelashes, not long hair, but enough for a shawl, tied into a bunch of small The ponytail was raised up, swaying as he ran, and the laughter was as clear as a bell, making Su Lin feel slightly absent-minded when he heard it.
"Of course! Come on, come on... Brother Xiaolin, tell me how you quickly improved your academic performance!"
The little loli just blinked her big eyes and looked at you watery, with her pointed little chin pitifully. Sulin was a little unable to resist, coughed, and said seriously: "The method is actually very simple. Simple, just... read more, read more newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep more!"
"Brother Xiaolin... what kind of method is this... you are lying to me... uh uh..."
As soon as she heard Su Lin's tone, Han Lingling knew that her brother Xiao Lin was teasing her. She murmured, held Su Lin's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother! Brother! You must teach me!" Teach me! If you don’t teach me, you’re a bad guy!”
"Okay, okay... I'll teach you, I'll teach you! Let me go first, I can't bear it anymore! You are about to turn eighteen, why are you still acting like a little girl?"
Su Lin opened his eyes and took on the dignity of being an elder brother, but Han Lingling was confident. She smiled sweetly at Su Lin, shook his arm, and said coquettishly: "Mom said, Lingling is already in trouble now." She's still a little girl! What does it matter if a little girl acts like a coquettish girl? Hehe... Brother Xiaolin, please teach me your learning methods?"
"Actually, it's nothing. Just read more and do more. Especially when you are reviewing in the third year of high school, you should focus on your own weak points and take good notes on each subject... "
Su Lin's own secret was the ability to remember instantly, but there was no way to teach this to Han Lingling, so he had to teach Han Lingling Qin Yanran's review method. Indeed, the reason why Qin Yanran was able to review so efficiently was because she had a good learning method, and her notes for each subject were carefully prepared and organized.
While Su Lin was playing with his little cousin in the house, the adults outside were very busy. Su Lin's father, Su Guorong, was helping to receive guests in the living room, and Su Lin's two uncles were also helping.
"Second brother, I heard that you seem to have been laid off recently. I said that in your shabby transportation company, the salary was 3,000 yuan five years ago, and it is still more than 3,000 yuan now, and there is no increase for you at all. You should have quit a long time ago. I asked you to come to my greenhouse to help me a long time ago, but you didn’t listen..."
The speaker was Su Lin's third uncle Su Guozhong, Su Wen's father. He has a fat head and big ears, and a gold necklace hanging around his neck. He looks like a rich man.
"That's right! Second brother, if you open your own company and run transportation, you can still make some money and always work for others. How many tens of thousands of dollars can you make throughout the year? When I asked you to go to melon and fruit business, you didn't go. Now look at how my third brother and I are building houses in the suburbs. You still have three people crowded into a small bungalow."
Su Lin's brother-in-law Su Guoyi echoed, also looking rich.
"Guo Zhong, Guo Yi. My second brother doesn't have the brains of yours, he is a bit brute force, can drive, and can't do anything else. Now the original company has hired me back, and the salary has been increased to 5,000, not counting If it’s less, it’s interesting enough for me.”
Compared with his two younger brothers, Su Guorong is relatively content with the status quo, which is what Su Lin said does not know how to adapt. In his opinion, his salary has increased to 5,000 yuan, which is almost 2,000 yuan more per month, which is already very good. Although his two younger brothers earned hundreds of thousands a year through greenhouse cultivation and selling fruits and grains, Su Guorong was not tempted at all and always felt that he was not the material.
"Hmph! Guorong! Do you think your boss really wants to increase your salary?"
There was a heavy nasal sound, and it was the eldest brother Su Guoguang next to him who spoke. He frowned and looked at his second brother Su Guorong. Among the brothers, the younger two brothers only had junior high school education, but they had a bright mind and knew how to explore all kinds of things. The new way to make money is an income of more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan every year. My second brother, Su Guorong, doesn't know how to adapt, and he is still a retired soldier who has returned from the army! However, after working in transportation for more than ten years, he earned a salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan every year. He was the worst off among the four brothers.
Naturally, Su Guoguang, the eldest brother, has no good feelings towards his second brother Su Guorong, who is the least promising.
"My salary was raised by the boss of our logistics company himself. Brother, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that my boss was forced to raise my salary? This time, even if I don't go back to the original company, I will be in another company. The salary offered by the company will not be less than 5,000."
Su Guorong puffed up his chest. He was very proud. Being able to be hired by several companies with high prices was the most proud thing for Su Guorong in recent times.
"Guorong, don't you know? It turns out that the reason why you and your wife are unemployed is because you offended Liu Yuanfeng, the son of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. He sent a message to various companies in Jian'an not to hire you and your wife. Even I also I was sued by Liu Yuanfeng, but fortunately I was on the side of Mayor Fang. But now that Secretary Liu has been removed from office, Mayor Fang personally asked her secretary Xiao Liu to speak, specifically instructing those companies I hired you and your wife with a high salary. You did it all thanks to the mayor, and you didn’t even know it. It’s true. Did you buy some gifts and go to the door to say thank you?”
Su Guoguang told the inside story of the matter in one breath. It was also at this time that because the director of the Urban Construction Bureau was dismissed, he had just taken over, and there were a lot of things that needed to be dealt with by him, otherwise he would have communicated with his second brother Su Guorong.
"It was Mayor Fang who helped our family? But... our family doesn't seem to have any contact with her?" Su Guorong thought about it carefully, and then thought about it, "By the way. Our Xiaolin seems to be related to Fang Shi The eldest daughter is a classmate, and the relationship... seems to be pretty good."
"It's no wonder! Second brother, it turns out that you have benefited from Mayor Fang, otherwise... I guess no company would want you now."
"Second brother! Forget it, I think you should just drive and do transportation for others. At least you can support your family. Other things, eh... I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
"National loyalty! National justice! Why are you talking to your second brother? Aren't you just relying on a little cleverness to make more money? Let me tell you, this is not a long-term solution. You'd better find some regular jobs to live in peace. "
Su Lin's grandfather Nainai died young, so the person in charge of the family is his uncle Su Guoguang. Although Su Guoguang laments that his second brother Su Guorong is not living up to expectations, maintaining the stability and relationship of the family is still the first priority. When necessary, he will still protect the face and dignity of his second brother Su Guorong in front of his two younger brothers.
However, Su Guorong was a soldier. Su Guorong had a very strong self-esteem. In the past, it was fine, and his two younger brothers had not achieved anything famous. However, he became complacent, and his wife Liu Aizhen complained all day long, which made Su Guorong feel that he was very incompetent. In front of his eldest brother and two younger brothers, Su Guorong I can't even lift my head.
At the same time, in the kitchen, Su's mother Liu Aizhen was bragging with Su Lin's aunts in high spirits.
"Sister-in-law, Yuzhu, Guiji... you don't know that our little brat has been doing very well recently. He passed the tenth grade in one breath, and ah! I'm afraid you won't believe it, it wasn't Yun Yiyi who came to our Jian'an not long ago Is there a concert in No. 1 Middle School? Our little bastard sang with Yun Yiyi on the same stage. That singing voice is only because it exists in the sky. Even Yun Yiyi said that my little bastard sang better than him and even sang to us on the spot. The little brat sent me a kiss! Maybe! I might have a celebrity wife in the future... "
While chopping vegetables, Su's mother Liu Aizhen cheerfully boasted about her son Su Lin's heroic deeds.
"What? Second sister-in-law, your Xiaolin sings well? Haha... Stop talking, you're laughing so hard. When I was a kid, I asked your kid to sing a song during the Chinese New Year, and he even sang the national anthem out of tune... "
Su Lin's third aunt Cao Yuzhu looked unbelieving and laughed, thinking that Su Lin and Liu Aizhen were bragging, "And your Xiao Lin was admitted to the tenth place in Jian'an No. 1 Middle School? You know, our Su Wen is also the best Fortunately, I have only passed the 20th or 30th place in the exam, and I can already be admitted to the Jiaotong University in Shanghai City. If your Xiaolin really has such results, will he not be able to apply for Qingbei University of Science and Technology this time? "
"Yes! Second sister-in-law, please speak in moderation. Xiaolin's academic performance has been declining since the first year of high school, and now it can no longer be lower. How could you do so well in the exam all at once? You are not being taught by your family. Xiaolin lied? But...he can't fake the college entrance examination anyway. You will know when the college entrance examination results come out in a few days."
The other fourth aunt who talked about Su Lin was more conservative in her words, but no matter who it was, they didn't take Liu Aizhen's words seriously, especially Cao Yuzhu who teased her unceremoniously, which made Liu Aizhen's temper unbearable.
"Why can't our Xiao Lin sing well? I heard this with my own ears. How come your Su Wen can get good grades, but our Su Lin is cheating if he gets good grades? Even No. 1 Middle School Our Xiao Lin has given a speech on stage. Has your Su Wen ever done something so glorious and embarrassing? Don’t think that just because you two have made a little money over the years, you don’t take me as your second sister-in-law seriously. You are looking down on our family. Humph... Our family still looks down upon your two or three hundred thousand savings! Just this time, our Xiaolin received a bonus of half a million from the Public Security Bureau and the government. I just said I hauled a large cart of new furniture home this morning and spent more than 50,000 yuan in one morning, do you know?"
Liu Aizhen is really angry. In the past two years, her family has been looked down upon by her two younger brothers. If she doesn't express her anger today, why will she do it
