Chapter 25: Great Expectations

Knowing that the "ghost brother" was back, Sun Junqing rode a motorcycle, carrying Liu Chunyan and Sun Zehao, and took advantage of the two of them to take a vacation, and the family of three entered the courtyard early in the morning. As soon as the car stopped, Sun Zehao, who was almost three years old, didn't wait for an adult to help, staggered into the door, and shouted: Uncle - Uncle -

After coming back from the morning run on the river embankment, "Brother Ghost" was still immersed in those computer books, shuttling back and forth between the seemingly incomprehensible, concrete and abstract, imagining the appearance of the computer in his mind, the position of the keys on the keyboard, etc., and was woken up by two calls. Sun Zehao poked his head out at the door and secretly looked inside; "Brother Ghost" pretended not to see it and looked down at the book; Sun Zehao tiptoed to "Brother Ghost" and shouted "Ah", and "Brother Ghost" was deliberately taken aback, causing Sun Zehao to "giggle" proudly.

Sun Zehao squeezed into the arms of "Brother Ghost", climbed on the table, looked at the book on the table with wide eyes, "Brother Ghost" looked at him attentively, and said with a smile: Haohao, do you know? Sun Zehao turned his head to look at "Brother Ghost", nodded, and pointed with his chubby little finger and said: This is "electricity" - this is "calculation" - after listening to "Brother Ghost", he smiled and said: Did Dad teach you -

Hao Hao - Hao Hao - Liu Chunyan shouted and came in, saw the uncle and nephew, and said to Sun Zehao: Go - Hao Hao - take you out to play, don't bother your uncle here! "Brother Ghost" picked up Sun Zehao and said with a smile: Sister, I'm fine, Liu Chunyan looked up and down, and said with a playful smile: How do I feel that you are a few centimeters taller?

The two walked out of the door, and Liu Chunyan said to Sun Junqing: Junqing, look--is Guixian tall again? "Brother Ghost" put Sun Zehao firmly on the ground, Sun Junqing looked at it and said: It seems to be!

When Zheng Lijuan heard this, she complained and said: "I just grew tall and didn't grow meat, and I stood out from the crowd!" Everyone laughed "hahaha" when they said it.

Liu Jianshe was assembling a table in the carpentry shed; Sun Junqing looked at the vegetable garden, found a bucket and a flat pole and walked out of the alley; Liu Chunyan shouted at the "ghost brother": Guixian, then you will take care of Haohao, and I will help my aunt cook! "Ghost brother" looked at Haohao and readily agreed.

The instant noise calmed down, leaving only the sound of hammers in the carpentry shed and the sound of Sun Zehao running back and forth. In the distance, a few squirrels danced from time to time among the branches of the locust trees, and the sunlight in the yard poured down from the leaves of persimmon trees and walnut trees, and the dappled light changed back and forth on the ground, like a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors. Sun Zehao was attracted by a pile of sand in the alley, and happily built castles, roads, and bunkers, completely intoxicated. Sun Junqing picked up a load of water, put it next to the garden, pulled up his trouser legs, found a hoe, hoeed the grass, loosened the soil, and picked off the yellow leaves, and after finishing it, he slowly poured two large buckets of water into the garden-

The summer heat has begun to steam, and all the plants in the garden have all stood up their leaves, standing tall and full of energy, vowing to fight Jiao Yang to the end. After breakfast, everyone sat in the shade of the courtyard and began to take a nap after dinner.

Sun Zehao never stopped running around the courtyard - Liu Jianshe looked at Sun Junqing and said: Junqing, how is it, I heard Yanyan say that the hospital is in a recession? Sun Junqing lowered his head, "hey", and said in embarrassment: Yes, although I am asked to take care of logistics, the salary is too low, and now there is Haohao, and the cost is also large!

"Brother Ghost" stood in front of Sun Zehao and asked: "Brother-in-law, then you don't want to learn anything, while you are young?" Sun Junqing said half-jokingly: I am a rough person, I don't know a few big characters, what are you learning? Liu Jianshe laughed after hearing this, and said: We are both the same, we are both soldiers, and we don't know a few words, but I at least have this skill!

"Brother Ghost" had an idea, walked over while looking at Sun Zehao, and said: Brother-in-law, if you don't learn from your father to learn his craft, you should be able to! Sun Junqing said unconfidently: I'm clumsy, carpenters are meticulous work, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it! "Brother Ghost" said a little angrily: Brother-in-law, why are you always ashamed of yourself, believe in your own strength! Liu Jianshe smiled and said: If you want to try, you can do it, it's a hard job. Tired work, slowly look at this industry will disappear, but it is not good to say, if there is no new style, new materials, there is basically no market!

What about the future, Dad? "Brother Ghost" asked, Liu Jianshe sighed, and said earnestly: In the future, it's hard to say, it's hard to disappear completely, and it's hard to say that people will prefer handmade solid wood furniture, so Junqing You have to learn it, you can support your family for the time being, and whether you can still do it in the future, no one can say!

Hmm-Dad, I recently want to learn to drive, get a driver's license, or drive a taxi, let's just start here, it should be okay, right? Sun Junqing was a little confused, and said his thoughts. Liu Jianshe took a sip of the big tea jar, wiped his mouth with his hand, and said: It's okay, it's also a craft, in our new industry, you can make a few years of money, work hard, and handle the affairs of the unit!

Zheng Lijuan and Liu Chunyan finished washing, and the two also sat on the stone pier and took a nap. Liu Chunyan looked at the "ghost brother" and asked: How was the exam, it should be no problem, right? "Ghost brother" nodded confidently and said: The score has been estimated after the exam, if nothing else, it is not far from my goal of provincial city model university!

Zheng Lijuan smiled happily, and said in disbelief: "Brother Ghost" nodded firmly, and Liu Jianshe said with a smile: We don't understand Guixian's affairs now, and we can't put forward any good opinions, but it will mess up your thoughts, you make your own decisions!

Zheng Lijuan echoed casually, turned her head to look at Liu Chunyan, and said: Guixian, we don't have to worry about it! Yanyan, what are you going to do? Liu Chunyan looked at Sun Junqing and said: Junqing is ready to be laid off, I will insist on itβ€”β€”

Zheng Lijuan said with a smile: No way, now education and relationship are king, secondary school students have no way to live, I can still do it now, at least the salary of two people is enough for our family of three to spend, and there is little surplus!

"Brother Ghost" stood in front of them with Sun Zehao in his arms, and said anxiously: What should I do then? Liu Chunyan looked at everyone and said with a smile: What should I do--not yet, Junqing car will be driven by others after learning, or I will take out a loan to buy a car by myself--Liu Jianshe interrupted, and said a little angrily: What kind of loan, when the time comes, I can give you a part!

Sun Junqing said curtly: What kind of business, how can you go to school? Liu Jianshe said disdainfully: How much can you spend, at most 20,000 yuan a year! When the "ghost brother" heard this, he shook his hand in surprise and shouted: 20,000 yuan, it won't be so much, and there will be monthly subsidies for normal colleges!

Zheng Lijuan looked at the "ghost brother" and said with a proud smile: I am about to retire, and my retirement salary is enough for the expenses of the nobles! Liu Jianshe said with a little anger: In a word, don't worry about money, everyone will solve it together, we are a family, don't talk about two families!

Liu Chunyan said complacently: What about me, there are still 4 subjects left in the self-study exam, and if I work hard, I will strive to get the college graduation certificate in the past two years, and my doctor's title can also be raised!

"Brother Ghost" put down Sun Zehao and said excitedly: "Sister-sister--Is your ambition very ambitious! I haven't gone to college yet, and your college diploma is about to be in hand! Everyone laughed, and Liu Chunyan said half-jokingly: Then you don't hurry up, don't become classmates then, I don't want to be classmates with you, a ghost brother, a stick sister, what's the matter!

After speaking, everyone laughed, and the ignorant Sun Zehao watched everyone laugh and laughed loudly, which made everyone laugh even more, leaning forward and back, wiping tears from the corners of their eyes.
