Chapter 11: Sending Hanako's 'Tea Money'

Some people are born to be looked up to, such as Li Jiaming's fourth brother Li Jiade.

Li Jiaming has not been close to his uncle's family since he was a child, and when he grew up, except for the etiquette of going to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, he usually has no contact with his four cousins, and everyone only copes with each other. Even the third brother who lives in a city and mixes much better than himself, Li Jiaming also treats him as if he doesn't exist, and when he celebrates the New Year's holidays, people call over, so he carries something and follows the eldest sister and brother-in-law to have a meal, and then asks him back in a high-end restaurant.

However, Li Jiaming has different reasons for not having much contact with the four brothers, the eldest brother and the second brother are contemptuous from the heart, the third brother is respectful and far away, and the fourth brother is an unattainable look. It's a kind of looking up that has been maintained for as long as I can remember, and all that needs to be looked up is a god, or a youkai. Li Jiaming, who considers himself a mortal, naturally has to keep a sufficient distance from gods or monsters.

On a hot day, Li Jiaming followed the eldest sister to the attic of the eldest aunt's house, and saw the fourth brother sitting at the table reading a book at a glance, and he was still a little proud in his heart. The object that used to look up will definitely look up when he grows up, but he can still look up in the past few years.

"Jiade (Fourth Brother)"

"Eldest sister, Ming Yan", the fourth brother put down the book and got up, Li Jiaming secretly stood on tiptoe, glanced at the hand he had just put down, and the little pride that he had finally given birth to was gone in an instant. People have just been promoted to the second year of junior high school, and they read the physics book of the second year of high school, and there is a copy of "Organic Chemistry" next to it, and they are still proud of themselves?

The eldest sister sat on the edge of the neat bed, pulled the long hair that fell from the side of her face behind her ears, and said straight to the point: "Jiade, you will tutor Ming Ling to study more in the future." The third uncle has only one son, if he can't study, he will have to work in the field, you know?"

"Oh"

Li Jiaming's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the fourth brother frowning and stretching out, he muttered in his heart, shouldn't this monster be forced to agree by the eldest sister?

"Don't, don't you know?"

Maybe the eldest sister was used to being spicy, and the fourth brother hurriedly smiled and promised: "I know."

The fourth brother has been this temperament since he was a child, and the eldest sister didn't care, and when she saw that he agreed, she got up, "Mingya, don't you hear it, don't listen to the fourth brother, beware of me beating you!"

"Eldest sister, when did I dare not listen to you? I'm here to learn, not to play. “

Li Jiaming, who has been stubborn and skinny since he was a child, is sensible, which makes the eldest sister very satisfied, but she is satisfied and actually squeezes the fourth brother's sentence, "Jiade, you can read books, but you don't look like a girl or a girl!"

The fourth brother smiled, he didn't have the habit of arguing with others, at least Li Jiaming hadn't seen it. In his impression, this monster fourth brother has always been a stuffy gourd.

Listening to the footsteps of the eldest sister and going downstairs, the fourth brother got up and flattened the crumpled sheets she was sitting on, put his hand on the back of Li Jiaming's head, and pushed him to the unpainted table, which actually made him feel flattered again.

Damn, decades of awe have been ingrained, and it's really not easy to change!

"Mingya, I'm not very eloquent, so if I don't understand, I'll ask more, do you know?"

"Oh"

The fourth brother pressed Li Jiaming to sit down on a square stool that was also unpainted, opened the drawer and took out two pieces of paper and put them on the table, "You do these topics first, I'll read a book outside, and call me when I'm done." “

Li Jiaming, who was in a trance, had already gone outside before he could see the topic clearly.

Li Jiaming, who is more than 30 years old psychologically, actually has the feeling that a student is taking an exam in front of his fourteen-year-old fourth brother.

After settling down, Li Jiaming began to look at those questions, and he didn't know if the test papers were at the level, after all, he hadn't touched a book for many years, let alone elementary school. However, the fourth brother can be used as the block letter of the copybook, which makes him a little ashamed.

The problem was very simple, Li Jiaming finished it in two or three clicks, and deliberately wrote the words as chicken feet, but the last math problem made him scratch his head. The problem of a few chickens and a few rabbits in a broken cage is obviously beyond the level of the fourth grade of primary school.

For a while, Li Jiaming, who has rich social experience, actually got into the horns of the bull, and couldn't guess what the fourth brother meant. The fourth brother is a delicate person, and even the eldest sister's wrinkled sheets will be flattened, so it can't be just to see how his IQ is, right?

However, Li Jiaming's 'decades' are not in vain, and he stumbles on the handwritten test paper for a while, starting from the assumption that there is one chicken or two chickens, and then writes in many places until there are not enough feet in the cage, and then finds the correct answer from it. Twelve-year-olds, rabbits must have four legs, not one, two, or three legs, let alone five or six legs, it's always very clear.

After finishing the paper, Li Jiaming got up and went outside, deliberately and impolitely stuffed it under the nose of the fourth brother who was reading, and pretended to be proud: "Fourth brother, when it's done, it must be 100 points!"

"Well, that's good", the fourth brother actually looked at the scroll carefully and praised Li Jiaming, and then there was a sound of stumbling downstairs.

"Eldest sister, Jiade is going to be admitted to university, you, who are sisters, can't delay his studies, right?"

"Auntie, Ming Yan's surname is also Li, right? Jiade is not his brother?"

"Ask him to ask your uncle, your uncle has been a substitute teacher, and I'm afraid I won't be able to teach him?"

Li Jiaming 'became' a businessman, and he had been trained to be very thick-skinned, but the fourth brother couldn't, his face was like a red cloth, and his hand holding the test paper began to tremble slightly, especially the following words became more and more unpleasant, and it made him feel more ashamed of himself.

"Forget it, Jia Ming came to ask, will the uncle be patient to teach? Jun Han also came to ask before, what happened later?"

There was silence downstairs for more than ten seconds, and then, "You can't read yourself, so don't delay your family virtue study!"

"I can't read, but I can be a man!"

"If you know how to be a man, don't delay your brother's future!"

Immediately followed by the sound of 'knock knock' footsteps, the angry aunt went upstairs, followed by the eldest sister who was not to be outdone. Seeing this, Li Jiaming hurriedly laughed and said, "Auntie, I won't come to disturb the fourth brother in the future, my eldest sister and I will leave first." ”

It may be that Li Jiaming just came to deliver the 'tea money' two days ago, which made the angry aunt embarrassed to be angry at him, but instead suppressed the fire and explained to him: "Ming Yan, it's not that the aunt is stingy, your fourth brother is the most promising university entrance in the family, and we can't delay his study." If you have any questions, just ask your uncle, your own nephew, will he teach you?"

The eldest sister who followed behind, seeing the fourth brother standing there with a red face, snorted disdainfully, pulled Li Jiaming and left, and threw down two sentences at the door of her own room, "The third uncle is also a stupid man! ”

"Big sister, if you want to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Afraid of you?"

Li Jiaming, who didn't want to cause a scolding war, hurriedly pushed the eldest sister into her room, closed the door with a 'bang', and whispered: "Eldest sister, forget it, it's better to ask for others than for yourself." ”

"No, the third uncle has spent so much money in the past few years, and he doesn't help with this at all, are they still human?"

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Li Jiaming really didn't want to make a big fuss, so he eagerly hugged the eldest sister who wanted to open the door and quarrel, covered her mouth and whispered: "Eldest sister, stop arguing, you really want everyone to see the jokes? They can afford to lose this face, but the second uncle and yes (dad) they can't afford to lose this face!"

"Uh-huh, phew!", the eldest sister who had just broken free finally calmed down a little under the deterrence of the second uncle, but the aunt outside the door did not give up and kicked the door loudly.

"Auntie, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, do you really want everyone to come to see the jokes?"

Li Jiaming opened the door suddenly, and roared at the aunt, and the fourth brother, who was blushing and embarrassed, finally reacted, and was dragged into his room by his mother, who was so stunned.
