Xia Youzhi was amused for a while, and just as he wanted to speak, the phone in the living room rang.

"Hehe, hurry up and answer the phone, it may be your godfather."

After Shen Jingmei finished speaking, she smiled and nudged Xia Youyi, and then walked into the kitchen.

Xia Youzhi had no choice but to go to the living room.

"Hello, this is Teacher Shen Jingmei's house." Xia Youzhi picked up the phone and opened his mouth lightly.

"It's me."

A familiar voice drifted into Xia Youzhi's ears.

"Brother?"

Xia Youzhi was surprised in his heart.

Since Xia Qingbo went to Kyoto, they have not been in contact by phone.

First, Xia Qingbo didn't want to disturb Xia Youzhi's study, and second, he was worried about spending too much money on the family.

Therefore, I usually communicate with Xia Youzhi by letter.

This is the first time Xia Youzhi has received a call from Xia Qingbo.

"It's me, that's it." Xia Qingbo's voice was full of exhaustion.

"What's wrong? Elder brother. Xia Youzhi felt that something was wrong, so he asked straight to the point.

On the other side of the microphone, there was silence.

If it weren't for the fact that the call was still continuing, Xia Youzhi wondered if he had hung up.

When she tried to speak again, a faint sigh was heard.

"What's wrong? Elder brother. Xia Youzhi's heart tightened, and he asked again, "Is something wrong?" ”

After a long time, Xia Qingbo spoke bitterly.

"Youzhi, do you have any money on you?"

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi's brows furrowed.

She knew her brother, and if something hadn't happened, he wouldn't have asked for money.

"How much?" Xia Youzhi spoke calmly.

Xia Qingbo on the other end of the phone was stunned.

You didn't even ask what it was, so she borrowed it directly?!

This made Xia Qingbo, who had originally thought of a bunch of rhetoric, a little overwhelmed all of a sudden.

"Brother?"

There was another crisp voice on the other end of the line.

Xia Qingbo shook his head, his expression clear.

"One...... Thousand? Xia Qingbo said hesitantly, and then said nervously, "If not, eight hundred is fine, no, no, no, five hundred." ”

Xia Youzhi's brows on the other end of the phone furrowed even tighter.

That's not a small amount.

Even if the Xia family's life is better now, this thousand yuan is not something that can be taken out casually.

And now I have to do business in the city and county, and there is a lot of financial pressure.

"I know, brother, I'll send it to you tomorrow."

Even though he was suspicious, Xia Youzhi still agreed.

Xia Qingbo on the other side of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, guilt swept over me.

"Youzhi, can this matter be ...... Don't tell your parents? Xia Qingbo said with some embarrassment.

He knew that the family's business was all in charge of Xia Youzhi.

So it's no problem to find your sister to get money.

But thinking that he had spent this "huge amount of money" on his family because of his own affairs, he had an uneasy conscience, for fear that his parents would be worried when they found out.

"Well, brother, I can promise you. But you also have to promise me one thing. Xia Youzhi said lightly.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Qingbo suddenly became nervous.

My sister is so smart, I want to ask him what happened, right?

But these things were too embarrassing for him to tell her a little girl.

"Don't think about secretly going out to work part-time, don't delay your studies, just tell me if you don't have enough money." Xia Youzhi said lightly.

Hearing this, Xia Qingbo was stunned.

The young one is really a god.

He felt guilty, thinking that when this matter was resolved, he would go out and do a few part-time jobs.

When the time comes, I will return the money to my sister.

"Huh?" Xia Youzhi couldn't hear Xia Qingbo's reply.

"Young, big brother knows."

Xia Qingbo's heart was both moved and bitter.

Xia Youzhi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Big brother, if you encounter any difficulties, you must remember to tell us that we are your relatives." ”

Hearing Xia Youzhi's words, Xia Qingbo almost couldn't hold back.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Young, big brother knows."

But there are some things that still can't be said.

Hearing that Xia Qingbo was reluctant to go on, Xia Youzhi was not reluctant.

Xia Qingbo's character, she knows.

He will never be able to do anything that is a traitor.

Unless he has been wronged.

Thinking of it, Xia Youzhi's gaze became deep.

In his previous life, because the Xia family did not make up enough tuition, Xia Qingbo did not apply for Kyoto University in the end, but changed his wish and applied for a school in the provincial capital.

But during that time, she didn't hear anything happen to him.

The year Xia Qingbo died, he had just been in college for two years.

But I didn't hear any wind either.

Thinking of Xia Qingbo's death, Xia Youzhi's heart began to ache faintly again.

Immediately, her gaze became determined.

In this life, no matter what happens, she has to protect her eldest brother!

"Young, what's wrong? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. ”

Shen Jingmei smiled and took out a large pot of chicken soup from the kitchen.

Seeing Xia Youzhi sitting in front of the telephone stunned, he called her.

Xia Youzhi came back to his senses, and just as he wanted to reply, there was a sound of the door opening at the door.

Zhao Decheng is back.

"You're really just right, hehe, you're back with a meal." Shen Jingmei looked at her husband who entered the door and said with a smile.

Zhao Decheng was injured in his waist because of the trouble made by the brothers of the Zhao family last time, and he can't ride a bicycle now.

I can only take the bus every day, so I will come back a little later than before.

"That's right, today I can take a sip of chicken soup thanks to my daughter."

Zhao Decheng put down his briefcase, saw a big bowl of chicken soup on the table, and said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, what are these words, those who don't know still think I'm abusing you." Shen Jingmei deliberately aired.

"Haha, it's not, Mr. Shen is so busy that he can't take care of the family." Zhao Decheng joked with a smile.

Xia Youzhi on the side saw this scene, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That's nice.

It's still too late.

On the dinner table.

"Oh, was your mother calling just now?" Shen Jingmei gave Xia Youzhi a chopstick dish and asked.

She vaguely heard something money transfer.

I was a little worried, was the Xia family in trouble?

Xia Youzhi's hand paused, and then shook his head, "No, it's my eldest brother." ”

"Your big brother?" Zhao Decheng was a little surprised, "The eldest brother who is studying at Kyoto University? ”

"Yes, godfather." Xia Youzhi nodded.

Hearing this, the old couple glanced at each other.

"Are you alright?" Shen Jingmei put down her chopsticks and asked worriedly, "If there is anything, you can tell your godfather that we still have some classmates teaching over there." \"

Hearing this, Xia Youzhi glanced at Shen Jingmei in surprise, "Classmate? ”

"Hehe, I was also a student at Kyoto University back then."

Zhao Decheng said, his eyes showing a look of nostalgia.

"Yes, count it out, your eldest brother is still your godfather's younger brother." Shen Jingmei quipped.

She deliberately used a pleasant tone to cover up the unbearable past.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Decheng was criticized so badly at the beginning.

Xia Youzhi was very surprised.

She didn't expect Zhao Decheng to graduate from Kyoto University.

"What about you? Godmother. Xia Youzhi asked curiously.

"Me too." Shen Jingmei said with a smile.

Xia Youzhi was stunned for a moment.

Her godfather's and godmother's educational background is so powerful, so why did she go back to Haizhou City?

But Xia Youzhi didn't get to the bottom of it, she believed that Shen Jingmei and Zhao Decheng must have had an indescribable sad journey when they returned to live in Haizhou City.

She didn't want to touch it again.

"Later, you were admitted to Kyoto University, and you are also our little sister."

Now it's Zhao Decheng's turn to joke about Xia Youzhi.

Xia Youzhi smiled, "Maybe you won't be able to pass the test." ”

"Oh, you kid, how can you say that you can't pass the exam, Bodhisattva bless, children talk nonsense, you can't take it seriously."

Shen Jingmei hurriedly put down her chopsticks, clasped her hands together, and kept chattering in her mouth.

She is an atheist, but when it comes to Xia Youzhi, she is just a mother, so of course I hope she can be well from the heart.

When Xia Youzhi saw this scene, his heart warmed.

"Godfather and godmother, there is really one thing I need your help with."

Xia Youzhi hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jingmei looked at Xia Youzhi lovingly.

"Can you ask over there what the school news is on campus lately?" The way of summer young.

"Campus news?" Shen Jingmei looked at Xia Youzhi with some puzzlement.

"Well, about the students."

Hearing Xia Youzhi's words, Shen Jingmei and Zhao Decheng glanced at each other.

"Did something happen?" Shen Jingmei asked.

Xia Youzhi smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I just want to ask." ”

She didn't want the two old men to worry, and she didn't know what Xia Qingbo's situation was now.

"Okay, I'll ask your godfather."

"yes, it's been a long time since I've been in touch with these old classmates, so I'll call tonight to get in touch with the relationship." Zhao Decheng said with a smile.

Xia Youzhi didn't want to say it, and they didn't force it.

They believe in the child.

Xia Youzhi smiled and served Shen Jingmei and Zhao Decheng with vegetables, "Thank you, godfather and godmother." ”

"Hehe, let's eat it."

Shen Jingmei lovingly picked up the big chicken leg in the soup and put it in Xia Youzhi's bowl, "I'll go to Hong Kong City the day after tomorrow, have you packed up your things?" ”

Xia Youzhi's request for leave, she was very worried about affecting her studies.

But this is what the child wants to do, and she can only support it.

Xia Youzhi nodded, "I'm done cleaning up." ”

"Xiao Gu will follow you, right?" Zhao Decheng poured a small glass of wine and asked with a smile.

This wine was given by Gu Tingshen last time.

Xia Youzhi nodded, "Follow." ”

Last time, she told the old couple about going to Hong Kong City, and they were still very worried.

But when I heard her say that Gu Tingshen just went over to read the materials and walked together, she was a lot more relieved.

"That's good, I'm still afraid that he will change his mind temporarily, hehe." Zhao Decheng took a small sip and said with a smile.

Xia Youzhi smiled and didn't speak.

She originally didn't want Gu Tingshen to go.

Mary just took her with her.

After all, Gu Tingshen is on the construction site, and there are many things that he has to keep an eye on.

Therefore, in the past few days, she has snubbed him under the pretext of Ding Xiang's incident.

But I didn't expect this person to be soft and hard.

In addition, when he learned that Song Minjing was going to participate, he was even more determined to follow.

Alas.

In the end, she had no choice but to compromise.

However, if Gu Ting goes deep, it is indeed safer.
