Chapter 335: Left-behind children【09】
As the time spent together increased, Yuan Jia also found that Xia's father and Xia's mother were not the kind of parents who didn't love their children.
Xia's father and Xia's mother only want to make money, to stand out, and to have a future.
So they put all their energy into the business, Yuan Jia's academic performance is good, they think Yuan Jia will be successful in the future, and they will also pay attention to his studies.
However, Xia Yongxuan, who also has excellent academic performance, is not so taken seriously.
But to say that Xia's father and Xia's mother are not good to their children, it is not a big deal. They are still willing to spend money on their children. They have never been distressed about money when applying for cram schools and interest classes. .
Yuan Jia said that he wanted to learn painting, and Xia's father and Xia's mother took him to sign up for painting without saying a word.
This kind of strange parent-child relationship makes it difficult for father and son to get close to mother and son, and more responsibility and alienation.
Yuan Jia maintains a polite respect for Xia's father and Xia's mother. Xia Yongxuan has always had opinions on Xia's father and Xia's mother because of his past life memories. He has a very stubborn attitude, is very alienated from them, and always speaks with thorns. I like it, and every time I exchange less than two sentences, I can't help but quarrel.
In the end, Grandma Xia and Yuan Jia came to smooth things out and maintain the harmony of this big family.
Yuan Jia also didn't want Xia Yongxuan to be stuck in the past and couldn't get out. He asked Xia Yongxuan to turn his attention to his own career.
Xia Yongxuan was a capable person in his previous life. He was reborn once, grasped the opportunity, and his career was like a duck to water.
When Xia Yongxuan became a junior high school student, he had already made the first pot of gold that he earned like a snowball.
Xia Yongxuan handed over a sum of money to Yuan Jia: "Brother, this is your share of the dividend."
Yuan Jia looked at the numbers on the passbook and felt extremely complicated.
He never imagined that one day he would take pocket money from his brother who was five years younger than him.
Although this money was the dividend he got from investing the original owner's private money into Xia Yongxuan's career, but looking at the precocious Xia Yongxuan, he had an inexplicable feeling that his elders gave pocket money.
Yuan Jia coughed lightly: "Cough, so much? I didn't expect Yong Xuan to be so capable. You don't need to give me this money, just treat it as me and continue to invest."
He returned the passbook again.
Xia Yongxuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that his career is in a stage of rapid development, and he really needs a lot of working capital, and Yuan Jia is still a student. On weekdays, Xia's father and Xia's mother don't give less pocket money, and there is no place to spend a lot of money. So he nodded and put away the passbook: "That's fine, just treat it as a brother and continue financing."
Yuan Jia gave the money to Xia Yongxuan and didn't care about it after he continued to struggle. He focused his energy on learning painting.
Having traveled through so many worlds, he has done many professions. This time, he suddenly wanted to be a painter who does not suffer from profane duties. It was an interesting experience to think about.
Yuan Jia's physical coordination and observation skills are unparalleled, and his learning to paint is naturally fast. At the same time as learning to draw, the grades in the culture class did not drop.
Three years of high school passed in the blink of an eye. When Yuanjia took the college entrance examination, Xia Yongxuan was in the second year of junior high school.
Yuan Jia took the college entrance examination as an art student, and he also enrolled in the Kyoto Academy of Fine Arts, the best art school in the country.
When the results of the college entrance examination came out, Yuan Jia was admitted to his favorite famous school with the first place result. Xia's father and Xia's mother were very happy, and they celebrated with wine and invited guests.
In the past few years, Xia's father and Xia's mother's business has become busier and bigger, and now he is a well-known clothing company boss.
When people are developed, they are naturally lavish.
Father Xia and Mother Xia not only held a school entrance banquet at the hotel in the city, but also planned to go back to their hometown to hold a banquet.
As the saying goes, wealth does not return home, just like walking in brocade clothes at night.
And their son also passed the exam, how can they not go back to their hometown to celebrate? This kind of great deed that the ancestral graves emit blue smoke, one has to worship the ancestors to sweep the tombs and tell them to the ancestors.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
"Duanzi, I'm out of vinegar in cooking today, go buy a bottle of vinegar for grandma." Grandma Xia, who was cooking in the kitchen, called out to the dumplings who were sitting at the door of the kitchen.
Yuan Jia, who was washing vegetables next to him, wiped the water on his hands, took a pen and paper to write down the need for vinegar, and put the change and paper in a cloth bag and hung it around the dumpling's neck.
He patted the bigger dumpling and said softly, "Go ahead."
The dumpling wagged his tail, then turned around and walked towards the door.
It jumped up skillfully and pressed the door handle, opened the door, and trotted towards the small supermarket outside the community.
After Xia's father and Xia's mother made enough money, they bought the three-bedroom, two-bedroom house they rented. Now the Xia family has lived in this community for three years.
People in the community saw the dumpling with a cloth bag around their necks running past, with kind smiles on their faces, and jokingly said, "The little dumpling came out to buy something again?"
The dumpling trotted to the door of the small supermarket without stopping. It stood in front of the cashier and barked twice in a low voice, attracting the attention of the boss sitting inside the cashier.
The boss stretched his head and saw the familiar figure of the dumpling, and said with a smile, "It's dumpling, what are you here to buy today?"
He is used to this smart dog named Tuanzi coming to buy things every three or five summers. He skillfully took the cloth bag from the dumpling's neck, took out the note and money inside, "Is it going to buy vinegar, or an old brand, right? ."
The boss went to the shelf, picked up a bottle of vinegar and put it in a cloth bag, then put the money away, found a few more steel coins and put it in the cloth bag, and finally took two more ham sausages and stuffed them into the bag. The cloth bag hangs around the neck of the dango who has grown a lot.
"Okay, the dumplings go back." The boss smiled and patted the dumplings' head.
The dumpling also saw the boss's move to deliver the ham sausage. It whimpered and took the initiative to rub the boss's palm, and then stood up and bowed to the boss, as if to say thank you.
The boss laughed.
Looking at the back of the dumplings running back, the boss was overjoyed to tell the customers who were watching the strange dumplings the legendary deeds of the dumplings, a smart dog who can only shop by himself...
The dumpling bought the vinegar, and Grandma Xia cooked the vinegar with it, and said to the dumpling, "Thank you dumpling, the dumpling is really smart."
This makes the dumplings wag their tails like an electric fan.
Yuan Jia was a little speechless when he saw it. He was obviously a panda, but after pretending to be a puppy for a few years, he really regarded himself as a dog?
When the meal was about to start, Xia's father and Xia's mother also came back.
Father Xia said, "I've already settled the company's affairs and bought the ticket. It's the bus at 4 o'clock this afternoon."
Today is the day when their family returns to their hometown to worship their ancestors and hold a banquet.
Xia's father and Xia's mother looked flushed and very happy. Obviously, the school entrance banquet held a few days ago made them look good, and they looked at Yuan Jia with very gentle eyes.
Mother Xia also told Xia Yongxuan: "Yongxuan, you want to learn from your brother, do you know? Your brother is the champion in the high school entrance examination, and the college entrance examination is still the champion. You are going to take the high school entrance examination, so try to get the champion back."
Xia Yongxuan: "..." Don't take the test of the champion so easily, okay? !
Xia Yongxuan glanced at his brother who was a scholar, and bowed his head to eat depressed.
Although he was reborn once, he was considered a scholar, but there was still a gap between a scholar and a scholar. He could get 6780 points on the 750-point test, but it would be difficult for him to get more than 700 points in the test. .
Especially when he secretly does business and develops his career, he has less energy to study. He can only guarantee that he will be admitted to a key university in the future, and he will not have to think about such a beautiful thing as a champion.
So Xia Yongxuan could only eat in silence.
The Xia family returned to their hometown by car.
In recent years, the development of my hometown has been much better than before. At least the bumpy dirt road at the entrance of the village has been replaced by a cement road, which is much easier to walk.
Although there are still not many young and middle-aged people in the village who come back to live, mostly the elderly and children, there are still many young and middle-aged people who have come back to their hometowns for development. They have chosen to settle in their hometowns instead of working in big cities.
Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan, the two younger children, can't get involved in ancestor worship and banquets. They are only responsible for attending.
Even Yuan Jia, the protagonist, only needs to follow Xia's father and Xia's mother toast with a drink to respect others.
After living in his hometown for a few days, Xia Yongxuan suddenly said to him mysteriously: "Brother, do you still remember Liu Youning and Xu Sheng?"
Yuan Jia searched out the names of the two who had been forgotten by him from the depths of his memory, "Remember, what happened to them?"
The expression on Xia Yongxuan's face was indescribable sarcasm: "I heard that Liu Youning failed to get into high school, Xu Sheng took her out to work, and then Xu Sheng had a conflict with a group of gangsters out of town, and was surrounded and beaten and broke his leg. , Liu Youning ignored him and ran away with the gangster who beat people, Xu Sheng's leg was disabled, and now others call him Xu lame..."
In the last life, Xia Yongxuan avenged his brother, and Xu Sheng killed to pay for his life.
After the rebirth, Xia Yongxuan rescued his brother in time. Although he still hated Xu Sheng, he couldn't do anything to Xu Sheng when he did nothing.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Xu Sheng has always been impulsive and violent, especially when it comes to things related to Liu Youning, he is more impulsive. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to bring people to besiege Yuan Jia because of Liu Yuning's crying.
Xu Sheng took Liu Youning to work in another place, and it was estimated that it was because Liu Youning had a conflict with the local gangsters. Xu Sheng, who was fighting alone, also tasted what it was like to be surrounded and beaten.
Xu Sheng was luckier than Xia Yuanjia in his previous life. He was only beaten with a broken leg, not his life.
Maybe in Xu Sheng's opinion, Liu Youning, who he sacrificed everything for, ran away with others, which was more painful than taking his life.
But in the rest of his life when he became a lame man, when he looked at his lame leg, he would think of Liu Youning's betrayal, and he hated it every time he wanted to, and couldn't get rid of it.
Yuan Jia didn't expect that Xia Yongxuan would specifically tell him about Liu Youning and Xu Sheng, he froze for a moment, and then said lightly: "It has nothing to do with us."
Xia Yongxuan also laughed.
