Chapter 4 Zhao Weihong! How can you talk to me like that! [Please read! Please give me a monthly ticket!] "Soldier?" "What kind of soldier?" "Wei Hong, don't worry about the family matters!" "Mom will sell everything she has to support you to study for another year." "mom!" Seeing her mother's intense reaction, Zhao Weihong was moved but also felt helpless. In the eyes of Zhao Jianguo and Li Ping, their son is still the top ten "literary star" in the county. Failing the exam this time was just an accident. I will just apply for a lower major next time. But Zhao Weihong himself knew that he couldn't remember any formula now!
If he were to repeat a grade, it would be no different from starting from scratch, and we don't know how his grades would turn out. This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Weihong refused Zhao Yuejin's funding. Although Zhao Yuejin didn't say it, Zhao Weihong could guess it. That money is probably Zhao Yuejin’s disability compensation. To put it bluntly, this money was exchanged for Zhao Yuejin's leg. If I use this money to repeat my studies, I may only be able to go to an ordinary university or even fail again. Not to mention Zhao Yuejin, let’s also talk about how Zhao Jianguo and his wife would react. Even Zhao Weihong herself couldn't accept it. In comparison, joining the army is a difficult task for children from rural families like Zhao Weihong. It is indeed an excellent way out. But Zhao Weihong couldn't explain these hidden secrets to Li Ping, so she could only turn her gaze to Zhao Jianguo who was looking at her. Zhao Jianguo is only six years older than Zhao Yuejin. But judging from their appearance, Zhao Yuejin and Zhao Jianguo don't look like people of the same generation at all. Years of working in the fields have left too many traces of time on Zhao Jianguo's face. If it weren't for his black hair, Zhao Jianguo would look like a man in his sixties. "Have you thought about it?" "Ah." The conversation between father and son was simple and clear. After receiving his son's affirmative answer, Zhao Jianguo nodded, his tone still calm.
"Then go ahead." "The child's father" Seeing that the father and son had settled the matter with just a few words, Li Ping wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Jianguo's look. Don't be fooled by the fact that Li Ping seems a bit aggressive. But in their small family, the one who can really make the decisions is Zhao Jianguo. Seeing that his father was still the same, he unconditionally obeyed his decisions and gave him the greatest support. Zhao Weihong suddenly felt a sour sensation in her nose. She was about to say a few words to comfort her parents, but a voice suddenly rang out beside her that was out of tune with this warm scene. "Are you done talking?" "Now that we're done, isn't it time to talk about money?" I almost forgot about you. Zhao Weihong did not hide the disgust in her eyes at all and directly ordered them to leave. "I'll send my military allowance back home as soon as it arrives." "Second Aunt, I will definitely return your money to you. There's no need for you to be so aggressive." "It's getting late. I don't think you'd look down upon the simple food of our poor family, so I won't let you stay for dinner." "Go back." As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jianguo and his wife were stunned! When did my son become so eloquent? As for Zhao Weihong's second aunt, there is no need to say more. In the eyes of this group of relatives, Zhao Weihong has the same personality as his father, both taciturn and quiet. To put it nicely, it's the elegance of a scholar; to put it bluntly, it's a punching bag. The Zhao family is in a difficult time now, and this group of relatives all want to step on them, but they are sure that Zhao Jianguo and his son will not turn against them. Who would have thought that the old one really didn't say anything, but the younger one jumped up first! "Zhao Weihong! How dare you talk to me like that!" "I'm your second aunt!" "I didn't say no, did I?" "Mom, didn't I call you Second Aunt just now?" Li Ping suppressed her laughter and answered seriously. "Second sister, our Wei Hong has called someone." "You didn't hear it yourself, so you can't blame our Wei Hong."
The mother and son argued with each other and gave Zhao Weihong's second aunt a good scolding. "Good good!" "Zhao Jianguo, don't you care about them?" "I lent money to your family, and I am incurring sin?" "borrow?" Zhao Weihong's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she spoke with a smile. "Second Aunt, since you said it's a loan, then fine." "Show me the IOU and we'll pay you back right away." ".IOU? What IOU?" "They are all my relatives, why would I need to write an IOU?" "You also know there's no IOU?" Zhao Weihong smiled coldly, and suddenly raised her voice, cursing at her second aunt who was evading her gaze! "When has my father ever asked you for money?" "When I was a good student, you guys came to my house one by one and stuffed money into my father's pockets, and you were afraid that he would not accept it." "Now you say it was borrowed and you want it back?" "What? You see I failed the exam? Do you feel like all those favors you've shown me have gone down the drain?" "I failed the exam! I'm not dead!" "Are you so sure that our family can't stand up again?" "I said, I will definitely give you the money, but not now." "Let me tell you again, if you want to drive our family to death, I really won't pay you back the money!" "You can sue whoever you fall in love with!" Relatives can only share wealth, but not adversity. To use the old saying, it means "I hate you for what you have and laugh at you for what you don't have." Once upon a time, Zhao Weihong liked this second aunt very much. Whenever the school required payment, she would take the initiative to go to the door, have a long argument with Zhao Jianguo, and finally leave a dozen yuan. He also did not forget to give Zhao Weihong a few cents so that he could buy soda at school. She gave Zhao Weihong a few more words of advice, asking her to study hard and not forget her as her second aunt in the future. But after Zhao Weihong failed the exam, it was this second aunt who cried out the loudest and demanded that their family pay back the money immediately. Such a drastic change in her was also a major reason that prompted Zhao Weihong to move south. "Squeak."
Zhao Weihong pulled the old wooden door open heavily, and the cool evening breeze rushed into the house. Zhao Weihong held the handle and continued speaking without any emotion. "We're going to have dinner at home, so I won't send you off." "." "Wei Hong, actually Second Aunt is not in a hurry to use this money." "hehe." Hearing this, Zhao Weihong sneered and shook his head. "Go back." After she finished speaking, Zhao Weihong's second aunt looked at Zhao Jianguo with a look as if asking for help. But Zhao Jianguo's eyes were always on the portrait of the great man on the wall, and he had no intention of paying any attention to her. Seeing this, she took one last look at Zhao Weihong, then looked away as if she had been electrocuted, and then left in embarrassment. He walked out of the yard with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and looked back. A family of three is chatting happily under the illumination of tungsten filament lamps. I don’t know how. Zhao Weihong's second aunt suddenly felt a little regretful. "You shouldn't talk to your second aunt like that." "After all, she helped our family in the past." Zhao Jianguo puffed on his pipe while scolding Zhao Weihong. But there wasn't much blame in his tone. "Whatever Dad says is what it is!" Zhao Weihong giggled and saw Li Ping walking towards the kitchen, so she quickly stood up and said. "Mom, take a break!" "I must let you and my dad taste my cooking tonight!" Upon hearing this, Li Ping subconsciously refused. But the scene just now suddenly flashed through Li Ping's mind, making her nod her head as if possessed by a ghost. "Let me see what you are up to." "Hehe, I guarantee you'll be surprised!" Even so, Li Ping was still worried and stood beside Zhao Weihong to "supervise."
It’s not that I’m afraid that Zhao Weihong will hurt me. The young man is thick-skinned and tough, so he gets hurt. The main concern is that Zhao Weihong will waste food. She stood by and if there was any problem, it could be fixed without delaying meals. But Zhao Weihong's performance really surprised Li Ping. Wash and prepare the vegetables, heat the oil in a pan, and stir-fry. His relaxed posture made him look like a gourmet who had been immersed in this art for many years! "Son, when did you learn to cook?" "This guy, is he still in good shape?" Hearing his mother's shocked inquiry, Zhao Weihong smiled faintly and was about to make something up, but suddenly he froze. "Son, what are you standing there for?" "The food is about to get burnt!" "son?" Seeing that Zhao Weihong didn't respond for a long time, Li Ping hurried forward, snatched the spatula from Zhao Weihong's hand, and asked worriedly while continuing to stir-fry. "Son, what's wrong with you?" "Did the oil point explode?" "I told you, cooking is not your job." Li Ping's chattering voice, mixed with the crackling sound of the oil pan, echoed in the small kitchen. But Zhao Weihong maintained the same posture, standing still, and did not react. It was because all his attention was now focused on the light screen that suddenly appeared in front of him. [Cooking proficiency +1] The second update for today is here!
