Chapter 40: Face
"Then Xiao Yue should go to a middle school in the future, I estimate that the tuition should be free in the next three years, I heard that the top student in the last high school entrance examination, Jinghua Middle School gave a reward of 300,000 yuan from a middle school, I estimate that Xiao Yue will definitely have a lot of schools to contact this time. The eldest aunt spoke, and her eyes were full of envy when she looked at Chu Chunping and Wang Zhimei for a while.
If Chu Yue can keep it up, their family will definitely survive.
"Mother-in-law who doesn't know anything, compared to the future, what is this money" The uncle took a sip of wine, and then said to Chu Yue, "Xiao Yue, you have to remember that you have just started entering high school, and entering a first-class college or even a famous college in the college entrance examination is the way out for you, as for money or something, it is all a small profit." ”
Chu Yue nodded, the money was no longer a problem for him.
"As for the tuition fee or living expenses, if your family is not enough, just ask me, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will let you finish college smoothly. Uncle said suddenly.
Seeing the eldest uncle's statement, the second uncle also spoke: "Xiao Yue, your uncle is right, they are all a family, and if you need help, you're welcome." ”
The brother-in-law said to Chu Chunping and Wang Zhimei: "My little sister and brother-in-law should also pay more attention to the nutrition of our children, no matter how poor we are, we can't be poor children. ”
"Usually, you can let go of the little things you face, and the child's learning and growth are the most important. ”
Chu Chunping's face turned red, a little embarrassed, and the uncle said: "By the way, you can't just say Xiao Yue, it won't be long before school starts, are you ready for the tuition and living expenses of their brothers and sisters?"
Chu Chunping hurriedly said, "Yes, big brother." ”
The uncle nodded, picked up the wine glass and said to Chu Chunping: "Well, you two husbands and wives have also worked hard, and it is not easy to prepare for these tuition." ”
Chu Chunping picked up his wine glass and touched it, and then looked at Wang Zhimei with some embarrassment.
Seeing their expressions, the uncle asked, "What, are you still in trouble?"
After a pause, he continued: "Now that the family is here, you might as well say it, it's not a big problem after all"
Chu Chunping and Wang Zhimei were a little embarrassed, Chu Jian nibbled on a piece of chicken leg, put it down and said to Wang Tian: "Uncle, the tuition fee is there, but my brother earned it, and he gave my parents more than 40,000 yuan not long ago." ”
"Hehe, boy, when did you have a humorous cell. The uncle sitting next to Chu Wei hugged him and said.
"Our little brother saw that his brother did so well in the exam, so I was envious. The aunt also quipped.
Then the people around found that the atmosphere was not right, Chu's father and Chu's mother were embarrassed, and the brother-in-law tried to ask, "Is this true?"
Father Chu and Mother Chu nodded.
"Hiss" everyone gasped.
The uncle turned his head to Chu Chunping with some surprise and said, "What's the matter, tell me." ”
Chu Chunping told Chu Yue about writing novels and part-time jobs, his tone was a little slow, but the hearts of all the relatives around him were already turbulent.
This news is no less than the shock of Chu Yue being admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city, junior high school students, who earned more than 40,000 yuan in less than two months, which makes them embarrassed as elders.
After everyone calmed down in their hearts, they suddenly thought that about Chu Yue, they had been surprised too much these days.
The uncle glanced around, and finally fell on Chu Chunping and Wang Zhimei, picked up the cup and said to everyone: "Come, let's salute the little sister and brother-in-law together, congratulations on their success." ”
Chu Chunping and Wang Zhimei drank a cup with everyone, and then looked like Chu Yue's face was full of pampering.
Next, the uncles began to talk about some things in life, and several children were still curious to grasp Chu Yue to consult the exam, and when they saw that his mind was not on this, they all went to grab Chu Yue and Chu Chu, compared to the last dinner, this time Chu Yue's family seemed to be at ease, at least so far.
Chu Yue is in his twenties, so he is naturally not interested in children's topics, he has been listening to a few uncles, and at this time, he suddenly heard his uncle Wang Tian chatting and saying, "Big brother, you booked the hotel a few days in advance? ”
Wang Tian took a sip of wine and said, "But isn't it, where would I have thought that Xiao Yue could win the champion, I only came to book it today." ”
"Today? ”
"I know the boss here, but it took a lot of effort, and finally I heard that my nephew was the champion, so I didn't hesitate to vacate a room."
A few uncles suddenly realized, and then found that Chu Yue was listening to them, so the uncle teased: "I didn't expect that a few of us would have to rely on Xiao Yue to earn face one day." ”
Chu Yue smiled in response, and the topic of several uncles slowly turned to work, Chu Yue walked out under the pretext, came to the balcony where he had stayed, and looked at the scenery of Xiahai City.
At night, the lights of the city are like fireflies flying in the distance, flickering and getting darker and darker, and the whole city seems to be shrouded in dreams. Xia Hai, this ancient city, is now asleep, she lies quietly in the embrace of the night, like a water lily in the silver riverbed, the scenery is picturesque, the painting paper is ink, the picture is the lamp.
Inadvertently looked around, once confused, he stayed here twice to relax, and met the beautiful girl, but now he is alone, looking a little alone.
He suddenly took the first place in the city, and it seemed that the crown was full of Jinghua, and the honors were all in one, and he was held to the highest point by his uncles and aunts at night, but he suddenly felt that the surroundings were so strange.
Standing in this corner, he can't help but wonder if everything he does is really what he wants, and whether it is necessary for him to work hard to achieve such a result, and then treat him differently.
These relatives, if he didn't show that he had a good future, would they still greet each other with a smile like today, at least, Chu Yue knew that if it was his own parents in his previous life, no matter when, they would stand by his side and become his strongest harbor.
And this world, the unbearable past of his father, mother, uncle, and aunt made Chu Yue unable to rely on and trust them.
Now, Chu Yue's efforts make the people around him feel happy, so these people subconsciously feel that Chu Yue is also happy.
But in fact, Chu Yue was not as happy as they imagined.
Chu Yue stayed for a while, then turned around and walked back, and after walking a few steps, two middle-aged people came not far away, one of them was drunk and couldn't even walk steadily, and the other person supported him.
Disgust flashed in Chu Yue's eyes, and he walked away from the side.
The two sides staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, and the sober man suddenly spoke: "Hey, Chu Yue?"
Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, stopped, and he saw that person clearly, it turned out to be Vice Principal Zhou, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Old Zhou, what a coincidence. Chu Yue saw him, and for some reason, he was in a better mood.
"Ha, Chu Yue, come on, help me with a hand. Vice President Zhou was carrying a burly middle-aged man on his back, who looked to weigh about one hundred and fifty pounds.
"What, I still have something to do, or you will let me go back first?" Chu Yue's good mood disappeared in an instant.
Although he said this, Chu Yue still went over, helped, and carried the middle-aged man forward step by step.
With some effort, the two men put the man in the elevator, to the first floor, and then handed it over to the other two men who rushed over.
Relieved, Vice Principal Zhou patted Chu Yue on the shoulder: "Good boy, he is not very old, and he has a lot of strength." ”
Chu Yue glared at him, and Lao Zhou smiled awkwardly: "What, I haven't had time to congratulate you on winning this year's high school entrance examination." ”
Chu Yue waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's not uncommon to be a champion in the exam." ”
Vice Principal Zhou smiled and hugged Chu Yue: "I just like your shameless appearance." ”
Chu Yue's mood was a little better again.
Vice Principal Zhou suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, there is still something I need your help with, and there is still a person above who is drunk." ”
The corners of Chu Yue's eyes twitched.
"Don't worry, you know this person!" Vice Principal Zhou said.
