Chapter 425: Ten Years of Hexi

After having dinner at her grandmother's house, Ji Ran left 10,000 yuan for her grandmother, although when Ji Ran's family was the most depressed, these aunts' families didn't help Ji Ran's family much, but Ji Ran still gave these aunts gifts more or less, which made several aunts feel more grateful and guilty to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran gave the eldest aunt a cashmere sweater, the second aunt a leather coat, and the fourth aunt a beauty card worth 8,000 yuan.

Aunt Zhao Shumei looked at everyone's gifts, but none of her own, and smiled bitterly, maybe this is retribution, when she was the richest in her family, she also looked down on Ji Ran's family, and now that people are living well, it is their turn to look down on her.

In addition to Zhao Shumei's expression being a little uncertain, Xu Wenle, who was sitting next to Zhao Shumei, was extremely unhappy in his heart, what he was most unaccustomed to was Ji Ran, since he was a child, he disliked Ji Ran's poor family, when he used to go to Ji Ran's house, Ji's father and Ji's mother gave him the best things, and he was still picky, and tore Ji Ran's most beloved rag doll, and didn't say a word of apology, and often regarded himself as a city person, as if Ji Ran was inferior to him.

In his eyes, it was as if Ji Ran would always live at his feet, and he could be balanced.

Later, Ji Ran became famous and lived a good life, Xu Wenle suddenly couldn't accept it, it seemed that Ji Ran had robbed him of the aura of being the supreme at home, how to look at Ji Ran how unpleasant. In addition, his father's imprisonment is also related to Ji Ran, and Xu Wenle hates Ji Ran even more.

Xu Wenle has always had a hatred for Ji Ran, as if the fall of his family was caused by Ji Ran. even scolded Ji Ran for being a fox spirit in private, and until now Xu Wenle still thinks that it was Ji Ran who seduced his father and made his father make a mistake.

This deep misunderstanding and jealousy of Ji Ran made Xu Wenle feel more unpleasant the more he looked at Ji Ran, but as he grew up and experienced family changes. Xu Wenle seems to be much more mature than when he was a child, a little less willful and arrogant, and more mature and forbearing.

At the banquet. Ji Ran also noticed Xu Wenle's eyes, and when the two inadvertently looked at each other, Xu Wenle's cold eyes made Ji Ran's back chill, just like the feeling of suddenly encountering a wolf in the dark forest in the middle of the night. made Ji Ran creepy.

Ji Ran knew that Xu Wenle had a lot of opinions about him. may also have a deep misunderstanding of himself, but Ji Ran feels that he has not done anything wrong, maybe Xu Wenle is still young and does not understand some things, and when he grows up, everything will be understood.

Ji Ran is not a person with a small belly, so. also maintained a tolerant attitude towards Xu Wenle and did not bother with him. Just stagger his gaze and don't look at him.

"Auntie, auntie, where is Brother Xiaobao?" At this time, the cute little girl sitting next to Ji Ran asked.

This little girl of three or four years old, named Xiaoxiao, is the daughter of Zhang Liyan, the eldest cousin of Ji Ran's second aunt's family.

When Ji Ran saw the little baby, her mood immediately improved, "Your little brother is at home, little girl, do you miss your brother?" ”

"Yes." Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, the reason why the little girl knows Xiaobao is thanks to the current 4G mobile phone, not only can you make calls, but also have video conversations, once when Ji's mother made a video call to Ji Ran's second aunt, Xiaoxiao saw Xiaobao playing games in the video, and stretched out her little finger to Xiaobao and screamed.

Ji's mother called Xiaobao and Xiaoxiao video, Xiaobao took toys with the puppy to laugh and giggle non-stop, from then on, Xiaoxiao knew that there was a brother named Xiaobao in the video, and then every once in a while Xiaoxiao clamored to video with Xiaobao, Xiaobao also took the trouble to play with the little cousin through the video, and gradually, the cousins established a deep relationship through video calls.

"Your little brother also misses you, can you call your little brother again at night?" Ji Ran took out his mobile phone and gave it to Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao stretched out his little hand to take the phone, and nodded with a smile.

"Bad boy, you will take the phone when your aunt gives you it? Mom has a cell phone, give it back to aunt. Cousin Zhang Liyan said to Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao looked down at Ji Ran's iPhone6, and couldn't put it down, it seems that Ji Ran's mobile phone is much better than her mother's mobile phone.

"Let her play, it'll be fine." Ji Ran said with a smile.

"Just take a look, don't mess around, my aunt still has to use it." Zhang Liyan advised.

Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, held the mobile phone, and looked at the small fish swimming around on the mobile phone screen.

Among the cousins of Ji Ran's grandmother's family, Ji Ran has a good relationship with the two cousins of the second aunt's family, I remember that when Ji Ran was very young, Ji's father had an illness and stayed in the hospital for a while, when Ji's mother took care of Ji's father in the hospital and had no time to take care of Ji Ran, so she sent Ji Ran to live at the second aunt's house for a period of time, and lived with the two cousins, and the relationship was not bad.

This time, in addition to buying a leather coat for her second aunt, Ji Ran also bought a children's dress for Xiaoxiao, which undoubtedly made the relationship between the cousins more harmonious.

"Cousin, what about brother-in-law? How have you been working lately? Ji Ran asked.

"It's okay, don't you run around the construction site every day?" Zhang Liyan said.

"Which construction site did my cousin-in-law go to?" Ji Ran asked.

"I'm going to province H, where the high-speed rail is going to be built, and your brother-in-law has contracted a section of the project." Zhang Liyan said.

Hearing this, Ji Ran was a little taken aback, the high-speed rail project is a big project, and it is still built at the expense of the state, if you can contract a section of the project on the high-speed rail, then the money will be earned.

"It's so powerful, how much can my cousin-in-law take?" Ji Ran asked again.

Zhang Liyan smiled and shook her head, "Who knows?" If it was before, the project of 10 million could get at least more than ten points, but now it can't be done, the top is tight, the inspection is also very strict, and I can't get much. ”

Ji Ran thought about it, since Xi Jinping came to power, the atmosphere of the whole country has been renewed, all walks of life have gradually become regular, and all kinds of corruption have become less and less, which is undoubtedly the best thing for the people.

"That's fine, although my cousin-in-law doesn't take as much as before, but I have a solid heart, which is much better than spending money with fear." Ji Ran said.

Zhang Liyan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's useless to make too much money, just enough to eat and drink, ordinary people live like this." ”

"Yes." Ji Ran smiled and nodded, agreeing.

"How's Xiaobao? It's time for school this year, right? Zhang Liyan asked.

"Well, it's time to go to the first grade of elementary school." Ji Ran said with a smile, when he mentioned his son, Ji Ran's heart was full of pride, because Xiaobao was so smart, he was a good student valued by teachers in school, and he was relatively well-behaved and sensible at home, so he basically didn't make Ji Ran angry.

"How? How are you going to study? Zhang Liyan asked.

"It's okay, I'm doing well in the class." Ji Ran smiled and said modestly.

"Xiaobao has a smart mother like you, and she won't be on an errand in the future." Zhang Liyan said with a smile.

Seeing everyone chatting so happily, Ji Ran's aunt felt that she seemed to be out of place with other relatives now, whether it was economy or family, she couldn't compare with several other sisters, especially Ji Ran's family, it couldn't be compared, she used to look down on others, but now I'm afraid people look down on her.

Ji Ran's grandmother seemed to see her youngest daughter's predicament, and thought of her grandson Xu Wenle's high school, Ji Ran's grandmother couldn't help but speak.

"Our family Lele did well in the high school entrance examination this year, and was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and my grandmother has little money, so these 500 yuan can be counted as a reward for Lele." Ji Ran's grandmother took out 500 yuan in public in front of the whole family, which is undoubtedly telling everyone that it is time to express it.

Even Ji Ran's grandmother has paid for it, and other people are embarrassed if they don't pay for it, and it must not be less than five hundred, otherwise they won't be able to get by in terms of face.

Seeing Ji Ran's grandmother take out the money, the eldest aunt also took out five hundred yuan and put it on the table.

The second aunt took 800 yuan, and the fourth aunt originally wanted to take 1,000, because the fourth aunt and the little aunt in the family have the best relationship on weekdays, if it weren't for the accident of the little aunt Xu Caijun, it is estimated that the relationship between the two families is not bad, the fourth aunt was about to take a thousand, but was secretly kicked by the fourth aunt Liang Guoen, made a look, and said in a low voice: "The eldest sister and the second sister are only five hundred and eight hundred, what are you supposed to be your own?" Give five hundred. ”

The fourth aunt had no choice but to stuff back the 1,000 yuan she had taken out, and then stuffed back 300 yuan, and took 700 yuan.

The three aunts all took the money, and Ji Ran was already prepared, and put the two thousand yuan prepared in advance on the table, according to Ji Ran's current family conditions, let alone take two thousand, even twenty thousand yuan can be taken out, but Ji Ran doesn't want to be so generous, it's not because the sister-in-law's family once looked down on Ji Ran's family, but because Ji Ran didn't want to solve the economic problems of the aunt's family immediately, because that would not be conducive to Xu Wenle's growth, give them less money, help them tide over the difficulties temporarily, and at the same time leave them a certain amount of economic pressure. So that Xu Wenle can know his aunt's hard work, so as to urge Xu Wenle to study harder in high school.

Grandma's 500 yuan, the eldest aunt's 500 yuan, the second aunt's 800 yuan, the fourth aunt's 700, plus Ji Ran's 2,000 yuan, a total of 4,500 yuan, just one semester's tuition, Ji Ran collected the money and gave it to the little aunt: "Auntie, these are a little bit of the family's heart, you can accept it." ”

Zhao Shumei didn't expect the whole family to pity her, and her eyes turned red with emotion, "Thank you, Mom, thank you, eldest sister, second sister, brother-in-law, fourth sister, I will definitely return it to you if I have money in the future." (To be continued......)
