Chapter 122: Rite of Passage
He Rulan called He Xiaonan to her room, closed the door, and solemnly talked about an important matter with this nineteen-year-old girl who was about to enter the university hall.
"Second aunt, what's the matter? He Xiaonan was a little foggy.
"Xiaonan, come, sit next to the second aunt!" He Rulan took He Xiaonan's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a box in the innermost.
When I opened the box, there were three passbooks inside, "Wow! Second Aunt is so rich!" He Xiaonan said with a smile.
"Hey, this is my salary passbook and your uncle's passbook, and there is no money in it!" He Rulan also smiled.
At the bottom is a deposit receipt from China Construction Bank, He Rulan handed it to Xiaonan, "This is your mother's pension, and the second aunt has been keeping it for you, and now that you are an adult, I will return it to you!"
He Xiaonan took it and took a look, 500,000 yuan, a five-year term, and half a month to expire, "Second aunt, this ......"
"It's saved in the name of the second aunt, the password is your birthday, and when it expires in two days, let's go to the bank together to change it to your name, continue to save it, and you can continue to study after you take it!"
He Rulan stroked He Xiaonan's long hair, time flies so fast, when she took over her sister's relics five years ago, the grief-stricken mood is still vivid, in a blink of an eye, Xiaonan has grown into a big girl, and she is about to leave home and go out alone, how can it not make people feel emotional!
He Xiaonan had seen this deposit receipt, He Rulan had shown it to her when she first took over, and said that she would keep it for her, and then hand it over to her when He Xiaonan grew up, did she grow up so quickly?
Only then did He Xiaonan know that the money left by her mother had not touched a penny from her second aunt over the years, and it was the second aunt who had been raising her for five years, not only taking care of her meticulously, loving her like her own daughter, but also squeezing out money from her small salary to meet all her needs!
No wonder I rarely see the second aunt buy clothes, the second aunt is wearing the railway system all the year round, originally she naively thought it was required by the unit, even Haoran wanted to buy a football, the second aunt was reluctant, and said that there is no place to play, just want to play in physical education class, except for the New Year or really have no clothes to wear, Haoran always wears school uniforms, rarely buys new clothes, and now she understands everything!
"Second aunt's mother!" He Xiaonan threw herself into He Rulan's arms and cried bitterly, with mixed feelings, the girl couldn't say anything, just cried hard.
"Silly boy, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to leave your second aunt?" You Rulan was scared when she thought of going out?" He Rulan lovingly hugged Xiaonan in her arms and comforted: "Every child has this process, and the second aunt was only seventeen when she went to secondary school, and she was also very scared!"
"No, no, no!" He Xiaonan couldn't cry, only shook his head.
"Fool, you're afraid that the second aunt will laugh at you!haha!" He Rulan wiped a handful of tears, this kid made herself cry.
"When you went to school, it happened to be changed to six years of primary school, so your children in that class went to preschool for an extra year, and they were admitted to university at the age of nineteen, so it's okay, and it's reassuring to go out when you're older!"
He Rulan continued while comforting He Xiaonan: "Originally, I wanted to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you last year, and I was afraid of delaying your studies, the second year of high school was the most stressful time, so I decided to wait for you to finish the college entrance examination.
"Second aunt! Don't spend money for me anymore! Haoran will have more places to use money in the future, second aunt, I will still call you second aunt mother in the future! You are my other mother!" He Xiaonan cried again as she spoke!
No matter where you go in the future, your mother will be waiting for you to come back at home, this will always be your home!"
He Rulan hugged Xiao Nan tightly, she thought that Xiao Nan saw her mother's relics, and thought of the loneliness and cold of being alone in the future, so she was sad, and her heart was also sad, this child needs the warmth of her family so much!
"Second aunt and mother! No! It's too troublesome to call me like this! Mom! I'll call Mom in the future!" He Xiaonan changed her mind again, and her heart was warm when she called out, so good!
"Mom! I went out to school, it's too inappropriate to take this huge amount of money, or you keep it for me, but I have a request, my college tuition and living expenses are out of this account, I want to supervise it! You are not allowed to cheat!"
"This kid!" He Rulan smiled helplessly, Xiao Nan grew up and had an opinion, "Okay, okay, change your name in two days, you are in charge!"
The two of them smiled comfortably, and then discussed the things to prepare for school, Zhuge Haoran knocked on the door quietly, stretched his little head into his little head and looked at them, "Mom! Sister! Can you finish your whispers? I'm hungry! My cousin was also picked up by my aunt, I'm so bored!"
"Okay, cook!haha!"
"Mom! I'll give you a hand!"
"What?Mom?" Zhuge Haoran stood behind them, watching the two walk hand in hand to the kitchen, scratching their heads, a little inexplicable.
When Zhuge Huaizhi came back to rest, the whole family went to the candlelight photo club at the school gate to take a family photo, and also took a group of personal photos for Xiaonan alone.
Shao Changsheng, the owner of the film club, knew that He Rulan was a teacher at the school, and the family's ID photos were taken here, "Teacher He, your daughter is so beautiful, I have a small request, can you keep a copy of the photo after washing it out, and put it in the window of our film and television to help me advertise!"
"This ......" He Rulan hesitated a little, "Xiaonan, what is your opinion?"
"No problem! Boss, you have to fix my photos beautifully!" He Xiaonan was downright and generous, and he didn't have the kind of worries in He Rulan's heart at all.
"Girl, don't worry, your photos don't need to be repaired to be beautiful! Not only are you beautiful, but the kind of youth and confidence on your face makes you extraordinarily radiant! It's not me bragging, I've been taking pictures for many years, and the demeanor of the characters is very well grasped, and you will know when the time comes!" Boss Shao laughed.
"Boss, aren't you bragging, I think you're more confident!" He Xiaonan also smiled.
After taking photos, Zhuge Huaizhi and his wife led their two children to eat KFC, visited Dafuyuan Supermarket and Taoyuan Plaza, He Rulan helped Xiaonan choose two suitcases and some daily necessities, and bought two new clothes for the season, and bought a bunch of delicious food for Haoran.
As soon as she got home, He Rulan received a call from the art class teacher, telling her that the school organized the students to prepare to participate in the children's national musical instrument competition held in Beijing, and the art class selected a total of ten young players, including Haoran's gourd silk, and asked her to take the children to the Youth Palace on time tomorrow for training.
