Chapter 423: Two Brothers with Different Personalities
Li Jianning was not around, and Li Kangning was so restrained that he couldn't even breathe.
Even if he knew that Uncle Wu was his second uncle, he still didn't dare to take the initiative to say a word to Uncle Wu.
As soon as Uncle Wu approached him, he was nervous and cold sweat broke out on his back, and he didn't know where to put his hands or where to look his eyes, so he could only hang his head and stare at the yellow rubber shoes on his feet.
The inferiority complex in his bones makes him unable to raise his head, the second uncle is a retired cadre who has retired from the army, he is a poor and destitute man who can't even control his wife, and he barely survives by relying on Jianning's care, and the gap between him and the second uncle is thousands of miles away.
The second uncle spoke Mandarin and sounded like an announcer on a news broadcast on TV, his clothes were spotless, his hair was trimmed and shaped, and he wore leather shoes on his feet that only the rich could wear.
He and his second uncle were originally people in two circles.
He wished that he could grow a thick armor on his body, so that he could wrap himself heavily and isolate himself from the outside.
But the days have passed, he has come to the county seat, if he wants to go back to the village at this time, others must not laugh at him to death.
Even Uncle Wu came over to chat with him cordially, but he could only hear the sound of buzzing flies flying around in his ears, and he didn't hear Uncle Wu say anything at all.
It's Tianzhu, who is very close to Wu Chang, and his grandfather shouted shortly, asking about the interesting things about Beijing that he saw in the second grandfather's textbook, and told the second grandfather that he must study hard, and like Uncle Chengcai, he will be admitted to Beijing when he grows up.
Wu Changjin was very sad in his heart, his own nephew was so honest and introverted, he didn't seem to be a person who could break through, he had the heart to take him to Beijing, but according to Li Kangning's character and ability, and he was a person with no culture and no technology, what could he do when he went to Beijing?
Here, Li Jianning is Li Kangning's spiritual pillar, and with Li Jianning relying on everything, he can feel down-to-earth in his heart.
He took out two thousand yuan and stuffed it to Li Kangning, and asked him to take it as a little bit of the elder's heart.
The frightened Li Kangning waved his hand again and again, and whispered that he couldn't accept this money, how could he accept the money from his second uncle?
"Child, take it, this is the second uncle's intention, it's not easy for you to live with Tianzhu, do it well here in Jianning, take Tianzhu well, work hard, life will always get better day by day."
Li Kangning was stubborn and refused to accept money for anything.
He is honest and incompetent, and he is also a face-saving person.
Wu Changjin knew Li Kangning's uneasiness, and specially instructed Zhang Peihou that the two of them just came to the city today and needed to adapt for a while, and the two of them were not at home tonight, so they could just eat something at home.
After eating *** at night, Li Kangning and his wife returned to the cleaned room in the west, looking at the spacious, bright and clean house, Li Kangning's heart was filled with indescribable emotions.
Since he was a child, he brought his younger brother to be so capable, how did he, who was an elder brother, get mixed up to this point?
"Dad, my second uncle is really good, he can live in a two-story house in the city, so many rooms, big white walls, tiles on the ground, you don't have to go outside to go to the thatched house, eating ham sausage is like eating pancakes, my second uncle has a really good life!"
Hearing his son Tianzhu's heartfelt cheerful voice, the sourness in Li Kangning's heart became stronger and stronger.
He lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling with blank eyes.
Even if his uncle is a retired cadre, what can the second uncle do for him? He has no ability and no technology, doesn't he still have to rely on Jianning in his life?
As soon as the eyes opened and closed, the day passed.
Li Kangning got up early in the morning, lived in his younger brother's and ate his younger brother's, he couldn't be idle, he had to be diligent with his hands and feet, he wanted to make the meal before the big guy got up.
He crept into the kitchen, and he was in trouble.
People in the city use gas stoves for cooking, and he can't even use things he hasn't even seen!
"Big brother, I'll just cook, big brother go to the house and rest."
Tang Yue walked over and followed cordially
Li Kangning said a word, Li Kangning forgot how he responded to Tang Yue, and he ran back to his room like a run.
He was embarrassed.
He can't even do that?
Breakfast was simple, Tang Yue boiled a pot of millet porridge, boiled some eggs, and Li Jianning bought fritters from outside.
Li Kangning was as restrained as ever, but Tianzhu ate it happily, and said that the fritters were fragrant and crispy, and the porridge was soft and glutinous, which was really delicious.
If Li Jianning hadn't stuffed the fritters into Li Kangning's hands, he would definitely have pulled the porridge in front of him to be a meal.
Li Kangning's restraint Uncle Wu saw it in his eyes, even if his brothers lived together every day, there were many inconveniences.
Since Li Kangning insisted on refusing to accept the two thousand yuan, it was better to spend this money and help him buy a small house in the city to settle down.
Knowing that Li Kangning was a thin-skinned person who wanted to save face, he decided not to discuss this matter with him for the time being, and told him when he discussed with Li Jianning and bought the house for him directly.
After breakfast, Li Jianning and Tang Yue were busy moving things into the car.
Stuffed lotus flowers, pork, biscuits, canned food, malt milk essence, two large boxes full of gifts.
Wu Changjin knew that these things were going to be sent to his niece, and Jian Ning did this, which not only gave him face, but also made his niece look good.
I have to say that Jianning is thoughtful in dealing with the world, and his words and actions make people feel comfortable.
Two brothers who grew up under the same roof, who grew up stirring in a pot and spoon, how did they form two completely different personalities?
Jianning is like the sun, no matter where it can shine, people can't ignore his existence, can bring warmth and light to people, but Kangning is like a dim star, already obscure, and he himself can't wait to pull a dark cloud on his body, so that people can't notice his existence......
Alas!
Wu Changjin couldn't help but sigh secretly.
As the saying goes, character determines fate, and with such an introverted and inferior character as Corning, it is only difficult to get ahead in this life.
Jianhong's house is not far from Jianning, after Li Jianning came to the county seat, his feet did not touch the ground all day long, and he never had the opportunity to walk around his sister, so he took advantage of this opportunity to walk around with his sister.
Tang Yue accompanied her, she sat in Li Jianning's co-pilot, Wu Changjin and Li Kangning sat in the back, Li Kangning stared at his yellow rubber shoes nervously as usual, fortunately, Tianzhu is a person who can speak, grandpa and grandfather keep talking, Wu Changjin kept caressing the little head of this thin child.
The child is a smart brain, serious and hard-working, and his grades are very good, and if he continues to develop according to this momentum, he will definitely be able to be admitted to university.
When he was about 200 meters away from Jianhong's house, the body suddenly jolted violently.
Li Jianning secretly screamed badly, recently driving this jeep around, ignoring the maintenance of the car, the car has a flat tire.
