The person who called Bai Xi was Nile, the current patriarch of the Ni family in City B, who was two years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and was the same age as Bai Xi and Uncle Xia, and the difference in their birthdays was only one month. It's just that Bai Xi went to school relatively early, and the two of them are not called classmates.

In the general big family, a young child like Nile will never be the turn to be the patriarch, and in the eyes of those clansmen, the thirties are just hairy young men with no hair, who will talk big if they are not reliable, and most importantly, the Ni family is not the kind of sparsely populated family of the Shu family, and they will be entrusted with important tasks if they catch any one. But strange things just happened, this family can be regarded as an outlier in City B, and even in the whole country. Not to mention those families, they are families with a little money and a little fame, brothers and sisters fight to the death for family property and the right to speak, but the people in their families are different, no one wants to take this responsibility, push back and forth, and this unlucky position falls on Nile's head.

Nile didn't want to do it, he was a person who liked freedom and didn't like restraint, but there was no way, the patriarch always had to be someone, and he was the eldest in his life, and he was better in all aspects, so his father, his uncle, and his uncle took turns to enlighten him. At the beginning, he insisted on not agreeing, but after a long time, he couldn't stand the noise in his ears every day, so he agreed without paying attention.

Although Nile is young, he is also a man with a strong sense of responsibility, and he strives for perfection in everything he does. Although he was unwilling to take on this responsibility, he pondered that since he had promised to do it, he must do it well, and strive to restore the former glory of the Ni family. Of course, he also knows very well in his heart that the current situation is different from before, in the past, people in the family could rely on ancestral secret recipes and ancestral medical skills to practice medicine, but now, if you want to become a doctor, you have to go to medical school for seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, and then get a doctor's professional qualification certificate before you have the qualification to practice medicine. But it's just that, and it's quite difficult to carry forward your own medical center. The most important thing is that now the living space of private doctors, especially private Chinese doctors, is too small, and most people seem to trust Western medicine more, and Chinese medicine is only used to recuperate the body, otherwise, the Xia family would not have let the children of the clan study Western medicine.

Nile is a very smart person, he feels that since the road of Chinese medicine is not passable, can not achieve his goal, then choose a relatively easy road, business or something should be the most convenient, although the Ni family has declined, but there is a good saying, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, the Ni family's family is still quite thick, and the people in the family have their own careers, and they don't intend to take advantage of the family at all, they have long made it clear that no matter who is the patriarch, no matter who carries the family forward, they will not be hot。 So, if Nile wants to do business, money is definitely not a problem.

When Nile was in college, although he also studied medical school, he had no interest in practicing medicine or being a doctor, he had a hobby since he was a child, that is, studying food, and his favorite was the study of medicinal diets. However, in general universities, especially famous universities, there is no cooking major, so he has to settle for the next best thing, and choose the major of Chinese medicine instead, and then toss medicinal food in his spare time. The so-called emperor lives up to his hard work, God has always favored children who work hard, Nile's efforts have not been in vain, he is really talented in this area, and his medicinal diet is quite good in a small range. If you eat it for a long time, it also has a certain maintenance effect. This gave Nile enough confidence that when he was in his second year of college, he quietly opened his own medicinal restaurant.

It has been ten years since the opening of the medicinal food restaurant, and several branches have been opened in City B, and they have also made a name for themselves. Although the current situation of the Ni family is not as glorious as that of the ancestors, Nile feels that it is already very good to be able to do this in ten years, and the rest of the things will be left to the next generation to do, otherwise, raising a few second ancestors will ruin the family property and reputation that he has worked so hard to create, and he will have no place to cry.

In this respect, this Nile's big idea is also quite unique.

Although Nile himself did not embark on the path of practicing medicine, the children in the family wanted to continue to study Chinese medicine and wanted to engage in this profession, and he did not object, not only did not object, but also gave full support, whether it was material or spiritual, as long as he could give it, he would be satisfied. In any case, the Ni family started by practicing medicine, and even if the current clansmen don't do this business anymore, they can't forget their roots.

"Listening to you say this, this person is still very inspiring, and it is not something that ordinary people can do to be so brave to open up a new way out for the family. From your words, I don't think he is the kind of person who has a lot of eyes and likes to calculate others behind his back. Uncle Xia touched his chin and asked with some puzzlement, "Since you don't follow the path of Chinese medicine, I'm afraid the grievances with our family will disappear, right?"

"Uncle is right, peers will become enemies and opponents, and the Xia family's industry does not involve medicinal diets, so there should not be much conflict and contradiction. Xia tilted his little head and looked at Bai Xi, "What does this Nile mean by calling you? What does that counselor have to do with him? Could it really be some of his relatives or something?"

"It's really their family. Bai Xi nodded, his expression was still a little complicated, "Speaking of which, this tutor named Nicol is also a poor person. Bai Xi looked at the few people around him all looking at him with puzzled eyes, sighed softly, and said, "Nico is the only son of Second Uncle Nile, Nile's cousin, and his youngest brother. According to him, because he was stimulated when he was in school, he ...... here," Bai Xi pointed to his head, "It's not easy to make here." ”

"It's not like someone with a problem with his head, Uncle Bai Xi. Xiaodouzi grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said while swallowing, "He is not the counselor of our class, I don't know him well, but I have seen him a few times in the corridor, and he looks like a person with a bad head, nor does he look like a person with mental problems." ”

"It's not the bad head you understand. Bai Xi shook his head lightly, stretched out his hand and flicked Xiaodouzi's head, "According to his brother, he is the same as a normal person when he is fine, that is, in most cases, he will not do anything excessive." ”

"You mean that there is a point in his heart that is very fearful, and it is only when he touches that point that his problems come to the fore. Bai Zhongqiu took a sip of the teacup and said, "The people of the Ni family have good brains, and Teacher Nicol can enter our school, which means that he is also very good." I just checked, and he passed the guò teacher qualification exam according to the normal procedure, and his grades in each item were very good, and the teacher in any subject was competent. As for why he wants to be a counselor teacher, is it related to his own problems? ”

"Or you're smart, that's what it looks like. Bai Xi nodded and sighed again - everyone found that since he finished talking to Nile on the phone, the number of sighs had been increasing. "When Nicol was in school, his academic performance was very good, and he was especially liked by the teachers. However, he is a child who doesn't like to talk and has a very introverted personality, so among his classmates, his popularity is not particularly good. Nile said that when Nicol was in junior high school, he changed to a counselor teacher, and this teacher was very fond of the kind of students who could speak well, even if they didn't get good grades. But for the kind of students who are not good at words, but who are good at learning, they are extremely disgusting, even disgusted, and will always come up with all kinds of ways to torture these children, and the methods are extremely cruel - this is what Nile said, and we are not very clear about how cruel. However, what is certain is that Nicol was unfortunately the target of the counselor's teacher. ”

"So, it caused him to have mental problems, right?" Shu Chang's brows twisted into a twist, "Uncle Bai, hearing you say this, I suddenly remembered that there was such a gossip in our school, saying that many years ago, there was a counselor teacher who liked to punish good students, and then there was a student who couldn't bear it, and when he was in self-study, he took advantage of the teacher's inattention, climbed to the top of our old teaching building and jumped straight down." As a result, it was hung by a tree branch, which did not cause a tragedy. Shu Chang looked at Bai Xi, "This student can't be Nicol, right?"

"It's him!" It was not Bai Xi who answered Shu Chang, but Bai Zhongqiu, although he had not been to school, but the school where Shu Chang enrolled, he had investigated, and had such an impression, so he took out his mobile phone and searched on the Internet, and found the answer. He pulled up the photo from that time and handed it to Shu Chang, "That would explain why Nick did this." ”

He was well-intentioned and didn't want these students to follow his own path, but he didn't expect that he would become the person he hated the most. Summer poked his head over and saw Nick in the photo with a look of lovelessness, believing that it wasn't acting or anything else, but Nick's true feelings. "Uncle Bai Xi, what are you going to do, how do you explain it to those parents?"

Nile said that he was responsible for this matter, after all, it was his brother who caused the trouble, and there was no need for others to deal with the aftermath, and he was already on his way here. Bai Xi raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect us to guess so many possibilities, but the truth is like this." ”

"Yes, Nicol is a poor man, and he did it with good intentions. Uncle Xia nodded, "However, how did Nile know about this?"

Nicol himself called Nile and said that. Bai Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip, "He felt that he might have done something bad with good intentions and caused a lot of trouble, so he went directly to his brother to turn himself in." ”

"That's right!" Shu Chang pursed his lips, "He's also self-aware." Since this matter is in charge, let's not meddle, let them tell the parents themselves, let's talk about other things. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's going to be the New Year in a while, Ji Ji, where are you going to spend it?"

“……”

Big brother, there are still two months to go until the Chinese New Year, is it really good to think about this so early?

Xia complained silently in his heart, but he didn't know that in Grandma Xia's house, the elders were also talking about the same thing.
