“Big Sister, no one bullies me, but I miss you.”
Could he believe it? It had been more than 30 years since he last saw his elder sister. For more than 30 years, he had been living in guilt about why he could not find out what was wrong with his elder sister as soon as possible. Wasn’t it just money? The most important thing for him decades later was money. If he knew about his elder sister earlier and helped the little bastard pay off his debts, then throw him into the army and not let him cry for his father and mother every day. If you did not deserve it, what storms could you set off?
“Pfff, how old are you to say such words?”
Jin Zhanhua had not seen her younger brother act like a spoiled child for many years. Since her brother got married and had his own children, she felt that although she was still close, their relationship was still distant. Now it seemed that she thought more and her younger brother was still that little brother.
“But if you are busy, help me teach Jinbao23JinbaoYan Chu's nickname, refers to valuables in general; precious; darling; sweetie to study. You have been smart since childhood. I think you are better than the teachers in school.”
The old lady’s smile was exceptionally bright when she talked about her beloved little son. She took her brother’s hand and instilled his nephew’s kindness into him as usual.
“I also think Jinbao, that child is smart. Big Sister, I want to discuss something with you this time. It’s about Jinbao.”
Regardless of what the little bastard would do in the future, there was one thing that Jin Zhande was satisfied with. That was, this little nephew was more able to please his sister than the other two nephews.
Jin Zhande’s goal in this life was to make his sister happy all her life. Therefore, the little bastard had better be smart, knew what to do and what not to do, and be her good son in this life, otherwise…
He lowered his head with a gloomy expression. Looking at the impatient granduncle, Sanni15SanniThird Girl’er shivered. This granduncle was very scary now.
“You said you want to send your sister’s obedient Jinbao to a boarding school. It’s the kind of boarding school that only has one day a week. Won’t do, out of the question.”
The old lady shook her head like a rattle, and if she asked her son to go to that kind of school, she might not be able to see the one side in a week. The old lady’s pierced heart was as painful as gouging out the meat.
“Sister, listen to me.”
Jin Zhande knew his elder sister’s love for that little bastard, and it was definitely not easy to convince her, but speaking and doing*24doing*from 干 [gàn] that can mean as to do or to f*ck (vulgar) things must grasp the main link. He knew what his elder sister cared about most.
“That child Yan Chu is as smart as I was before. The reason why he is not doing well now is definitely because of the teacher.”
In Jin Zhande’s opinion, his nephew was indeed stupid. He could only say sorry to those innocent teachers here.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The old lady did not think there was anything wrong with what her brother said. But wasn’t it meant that the teacher could not teach? Otherwise, how could Jinbao fail the exam again and again? Poor him. He studied so late every day and got delayed by unqualified teachers.
“The school I found for Jinbao is a little stricter, but the teachers are well-known in the education field. This school goes straight from junior high school to high school. It has produced many students from Shuimu University and Yenching University. The tuition and accommodation are 120 per semester, and 200 for the meal, with one meat, two vegetarians, and one soup for each meal. The meal is filling, and the food is better than at home. The dormitory is a four-person room, and each dormitory has a bathhouse, and hot water is available 24 hours a day. The living conditions are better than living at home.”
Jin Zhande knew that his sister was afraid of his nephew suffering hardship and looked forward to his nephew’s future. However, he considered all aspects of these two issues.
“Big Sister, you don’t have to worry about money. My nephew is just like half my son. Yan Chu is about the same age as Zongbao and Zongyu. I carefully selected this school for Zongbao and Zongyu, and it will never harm my little nephew.”
That was true. Everything in that school was good, but the teachers were more strict, but it was more suitable for that little bastard that was already spoiled to the root.
Jin Zhande knew that his two sons were clever and self-conscious, and it was the same where they went to study. But wasn’t it to let his elder sister relax that Zongbao and Zongyu could only go over together with him?
“That school truly that good?”
The old lady hesitated after listening to what her younger brother said.
“Well, among the ten students from that school, there are three university students and six professional training college students. Do you agree?”
Jin Zhande added fire to his elder sister, “Big Sister, you can think clearly. Brother-in-law and my work post can make Dabao and Erbao top the list. What will Yan Chu do after studying in the future? If he gets admitted to a university or professional training college, it will be different. The state will assign his job. He will not be better than Dabao and Erbao in the future.”
That was a good point. The most uncomfortable thing in Jin Zhanhua’s heart was the future of her youngest son. How good was the worker’s post? It was a pity that Jinbao was a bit smaller. It was impossible to keep his job until he grew up.
“Really not tired?”
Jin Zhande asked again.
“I’m not tired. I have fish and meat, rice and big white steamed bread. I’m sure Yan Chu will become white and fat in a few years.”
He did better be so fat that he could not move in bed so that he did not have to cause trouble everywhere. But this way, the elder sister would be sad again. It was really to not act against evil to prevent harm to innocents.
“Then, you help Jinbao transfer.”
The old lady gritted her teeth. Compared with her son’s future, she spent less time with the child as a mother. Wasn’t there still winter and summer vacations? At that time, she loved Jinbao a lot.
She intended to let her son go to the school that her brother said. If he did not like it, he could go back to the original school when that time came.
“Why did you call your little nephew so estranged today? You used to call him Jinbao with me.”
The old lady suddenly found that she felt strange today. The youngest son was different from her other two sons. Jinbao was a nickname, and the uneducated old lady had found the name Yan Chu through the Xinhua Dictionary22Xinhua DictionaryChina's first modern Chinese dictionary. It was the only one of her sons.
However, those people, who were close to their home, were called him with this Jinbao nickname, and the formal personal name was only usable at the school.
“Isn’t that kid older? It’s not good to always call him by his nickname.”
Now he had an inner thought for that child. It would be nice not to choke him to death.
“No matter how old he is, he’s also your nephew.”
The old lady did not think it was a matter, only that they were all good names. Whichever her brother wanted to call was the same.
Changing schools was still a very troublesome thing now. Fortunately, Jin Zhande now went to the sea to do business and knew many people. He planned to confirm the matter before the old lady regretted it.
“Uncle.”
Yan Chu sat in the central room with a book. When Jin Zhande and Jin Zhanhua came out, they happened to meet him.
“Mmm.”
In front of his elder sister, even if he was reluctant to face his disgusting nephew, Jin Zhande had to show a smiling face.
Yan Chu knew the insincere smile in his heart and returned the same.
To think that after one were two, three, four, five, and six, it was indeed a happy story.
A smile on his face and cursing in his heart was roughly Yan Chu’s current state.
Speaking of this world’s mission, the original self was indeed a failure too. No one could play such a good deck of cards to the point of anger and resentment.
Mrs. Hua was biased. When her first two sons were married, she decided to separate the three sons.
Old Man Yan died of a work-related injury. The factory lost 5,000 Yuan, which was not a small amount at that time. The funeral expenses were also publicly accounted for. With the money saved by the family before, there was about 6,000 Yuan in total.
The eldest son spent 1,000 on his marriage, and the same was true for the second son. Because both sons had formal jobs and were working couples, when they separated, the distribution of houses in the factory took into account Old Head Yan’s cause. The two sons each divided a small public housing of 30-40 m2, so Jin Zhanhua decided that the green brick and black roof tile house of the three quadrangles at home would be distributed to the youngest son who had nothing.
The first two sons were filial, and they did get jobs of their father and brother-in-law, which was their little brother’s great convenience. They made concessions on the house.
The youngest son did not get married. Of the remaining 4,000 Yuan in the family, 1,000 Yuan was set aside for his future wife. For the remaining 3,000, the old lady reserved 1,500 for the elderly, and then each son would get another 500.
Everyone guessed that the old lady must have private money, but at that time, Yan Chu was still a breastfed baby and spent a lot of money. No one bothered the old lady about this.
After the separation, the old lady lived with the youngest son, and the two married sons each gave her 5 Yuan a month for living expenses. This family was divided in this way.
The eldest and second son’s families moved out from the Yan family’s old house and went to the factory’s shared public house. However, the two couples were factory employees, and the residence assigned to them was small, so almost every child would be sent to the old lady at the age of weaning. The eldest son’s family had sons one by one and wanted to have a daughter. The second son’s family had daughters one by one and wanted to have a son. The two brothers, like a competition, slipped and threw seven children to the old lady, which made the old lady busy. No wonder the later they came, the more she did not like to give her two sons and daughters-in-law a good face. If it were not for understanding the reason and knowing the cost of living for their children every month, the old lady wanted to send all the noisy kids back.
In this way, the old lady brought up eight children alone, her son Jinbao was more refined, and her seven grandchildren were rougher. Relying on her own private money, the living expenses given by her two sons, and the occasional subsidies given by her brother, she also could take care of them smoothly.
He could live a good life if the original self was more obedient and sensible with three big houses in the imperial capital’s inner ring, the money the old lady had saved for him over the years, and the capable uncle Jin Zhande.
Unfortunately, the original self was a child who was completely spoiled and abandoned.
In the second world, many people were reborn, including uncles and aunts, eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, and the woman who died in vain because he took her baby. They were reborn with endless resentment against Yan Chu.
