Chapter 7 A Family Gathering
"You're jealous. He Tiancai looked at Qiu Xinrou with a curious expression, and suddenly found that her expression suddenly became gloomy, and she hurriedly covered the quilt and fell asleep.
was so tired, He Tiancai didn't know when he fell asleep, but the next morning he was woken up by an annoying phone ringing, opened his eyes and looked, and was stunned, this call hadn't been called for a long time.
"Dad, what's the matter?" He Tiancai picked up the phone, and he couldn't say what he missed in his heart, he hadn't seen his father for a few months.
Since his mother left, he has seen his father decadent for many years, and two years ago, his father gradually came out of the shadows, and met the current Aunt Liu, and they also held a wedding a year ago.
He Tiancai was not as angry as others, but sincerely wished his father and Aunt Liu to grow old together, he felt so sorry for his father, and he also knew that it was not easy for his father to have a home, and he hoped that his father could be happy.
Therefore, since his father got married, He Tiancai rarely contacted him, and he never even asked his father for a penny. Because He Tiancai knew that Aunt Liu's conditions were very good, he didn't want his father to be unable to raise his head in front of Aunt Liu, so he never caused trouble to his father.
"Son, I haven't seen you for a few months, how are you doing?" Dad was very pleased with He Tiancai's sensibility, but at the same time felt guilty, his care for He Tiancai was pitiful.
He didn't want the call to become very sad, so he hurriedly said: "Today, your Aunt Liu's younger brother, that is, your uncle came back from abroad, and he also has a daughter who is in high school. ”
"Okay, I'll be there after school at noon, but it may not be too long, I still have to go to school in the afternoon. He Tiancai has promised Fang Yajing that he will go to school well, and he will definitely be able to do it.
"Son, are you stupid in school? Today is Saturday, and it's a holiday. Dad wanted to laugh, but suddenly held back, he had inquired about He Tiancai's current situation, but after hearing that He Tiancai was always absent from school, he was so angry that he almost didn't go crazy.
However, after hearing that He Tiancai was absent from school to work and eat, he felt very sorry for He Tiancai.
So much so that since then, he has not counted He Tiancai again.
"Oh, then I'll be over in a moment, I've forgotten about it. He Tiancai hung up the phone and began to worry, he knew that Aunt Liu and her younger brother were in very good condition, and it would be strange for him to go over like this and not embarrass his father.
He didn't care about himself, but when it came to his father, he had to be serious.
It's just that he can't even eat now, so how can he have the money to buy clothes? After thinking about it for a while, he wouldn't be embarrassed to just wear his school uniform.
He Tiancai got up quickly, but the thought of walking home to get the school uniform first, and then walking to his father's house, a few hours was not enough. He could only lick his big face to wake up Qiu Xinrou, and only after grinding and soaking hard did he get 40 yuan.
made Qiu Xinrou angry, and kicked him away.
He Tiancai went home to change his clothes, and went straight to his father's house, but he didn't expect that it was Aunt Liu who opened the door, she was very enthusiastic, He Tiancai didn't notice the slightest feeling of stepmotherhood.
"This is my son He Tiancai. Dad put his arm around his shoulders and faced a family of three sitting on the sofa: "This is your uncle, aunt, and cousin Liu Ziyan." ”
He Tiancai greeted them one by one very politely, and his uncle and aunt were very enthusiastic, but they could see that they had disdain in their eyes, and when they arrived at Liu Ziyan, it was simply naked disdain, and they had never looked at He Tiancai at all.
This is also to give face to my father, if not, if the other party is a man, He Tiancai would have already taken a brick and slapped it.
"Let's all know each other, then come over for dinner, it's rare for us to have a family reunion, don't go outside. Aunt Liu was afraid that He Tiancai wouldn't be able to let go, so she took the lead in pulling him to sit down.
To be honest, the lunch was very rich, but He Tiancai was not happy to eat, and the eyes of Aunt Liu's brother and his family made him feel very uncomfortable.
Especially the so-called uncle, after drinking two glasses of red wine, immediately began to brag about how good his daughter Liu Ziyan was studying abroad, and even enjoyed a scholarship for high school students in Pennsylvania.
"He Tiancai, high school life in China is very stressful, how are your grades in school?"
"It's okay too. He Tiancai naturally knew what the other party meant, and he didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he gave an ambiguous answer.
"Okay?" Liu Ziyan sneered and looked at He Tiancai with disdain: "I think it's okay or not, the Tiancai in your name shouldn't be stupid." ”
"Zi Yan, what are you talking about, apologize to your cousin. Uncle pretended to be serious, but he could also see that he was putting on a show.
Liu Ziyan snorted dissatisfiedly, and looked at He Tiancai: "I'll give you a debut question, try it to know how your academic performance is?" She immediately grabbed a pen and paper and wrote down a math problem that was dazzling to look at.
He Tiancai could see at a glance that Liu Ziyan was deliberately making things difficult for him, not to mention a freshman in high school, even a freshman mathematics student may not be able to do it.
"It's simple. He Tiancai looked leisurely, wanted to slap him in the face, but there was no door, and he already had an accurate solution to the problem the first time he saw it.
"Brag, then you make it and show me. Liu Ziyan looked disdainful, she didn't believe He Tiancai did it.
He Tiancai took the pen and wrote it in a dragon and snake style. The uncle shook his head, this kid didn't think about it at all after seeing the question, he was obviously writing blindly, it seems that he is far from his daughter.
Dad's expression was very embarrassed, and he also hoped that He Tiancai could do it right, but when he thought that He Tiancai spent most of his time working to earn money, and he didn't go to school for a few days at all, and he could solve the problem, it would be hell.
"Okay, let's see. He Tiancai pushed the paper to Liu Ziyan, and sat on the chair with a leisurely face waiting for the answer.
Liu Ziyan took it and looked at it, startled.
I saw that there were many equations densely written on it, and each one was exactly the same as the correct answer in her head.
"This is impossible, how did you do it?" Liu Ziyan looked surprised, she secretly learned this question from a foreign tutor, even now she can't completely solve it, she just memorizes the steps to solve the problem in her mind, but He Tiancai actually made it.
Uncle's expression immediately became very unnatural, and he was still proud, wanting to take the opportunity to mock He Tiancai, but suddenly collapsed.
"I don't believe it, you do it again. ”
