my gilded age

Chapter 5 Please forgive me, it turned out to be so comfortable
"I don't know when I got unlucky when I married your Bai family. I only see the boss in my eyes, and I can't see anything else. Hmph! I'm partial to Java! Everyone can tell big lies! This 1 yuan, Humph!... Let’s go!”

The second aunt stopped making trouble, put down a harsh word, and went home. Anyway, it was only a few steps away.

"No play."

"It's gone. It's gone."

"Why did the second daughter-in-law stop? Is she afraid of Xiaoqiu?"

The neighbors were a little disappointed and wanted to continue reading, but some people understood.

"What Xiaoqiu said makes sense, but you wouldn't have the shame to continue making trouble. However, it's not easy to get into that university in Beijing. Is there any chance of Xiaoqiu's grades now?"

"What I'm saying is that I'm afraid the second daughter-in-law wants to hold it back for a year. After one year, she will ask for another ten thousand."

"Maybe. Who is there in our area who has been admitted to the capital and is famous?"

"That's right, who is this guy? After getting admitted to a good university in our province, he went to a big hotel and booked a first floor."

There were a lot of chatter, but they all replied. Even if they wanted to talk to the Bai family again, they would like to say that they did not come to watch the fun on purpose. They wanted to explain how they had gone from being hesitant to being unable to resist coming out to watch the second daughter-in-law. Rolling on the ground, this change of mind was also brought back to his home.

The crowd dispersed, Bai Shiqiu didn't say anything, he just looked at him like this. He had just defeated the second aunt, which seemed worthy of praise, but in front of him were his grandparents, parents, and Bai Shiqiu's heart was racing.

A few years later, my grandparents passed away. My parents later retired, but their lives were tight, especially when their health was not good. This was the case for their generation. They did not catch up with the good times and went to the countryside when they were young. The middle-aged are laid off, the old are getting sick...

Bai Shiqiu always felt that he had not done a good job and that he could have helped the family more.

"Qiu'a, what are you doing standing here? Come on, come to the house."

"Yes, come into the house, hahaha..."

My grandparents were very angry just now, but when they saw Bai Shiqiu, they immediately smiled.

"Come on, Qiu, let grandpa see if he has grown taller again, hahaha..."

"Oh, Grandpa, I..."

"It wasn't great just now, what's wrong now?"

"fine……"

The tears were really disobedient. Damn it, I wiped them away and entered the courtyard of my grandparents. I couldn't help it.

At this time, the house of grandparents is really in disrepair. The best place is a small courtyard, but this house is too old and the internal structure is simple. Although it lives in the provincial capital, it is still an authentic big kang , there is only one activity path in the house.

Grandpa liked to smoke Dashuang, so he only smoked this one. There was too much paper in the cigarette box, so he used it to stick to the wall. So, his eyes were all red, and there were two heads, a worker and a farmer.

Bai Shiqiu remembers clearly that his grandfather died of lung cancer, so he really didn't like smoking, only when he felt uncomfortable...

"What are you doing standing here? Come on, get on the kang, come to grandpa, come on, hahaha..."

The second aunt was actually right about one thing. The grandparents doted on their eldest grandson.

Grandpa was not originally from the provincial capital, and neither was grandma. The Bai family was originally a big landowner in Li Qianhu Village, about two hundred miles away from the provincial capital. How big was it?

When Bai Shiqiu was a child, he went back with his grandfather to meet his great-grandfather. He once saw the photos that his grandfather took when he was a child and they were well preserved.

In a small mountain village, you can take photos in the 30s and [-]s, which shows what kind of family it was at that time.

Grandma’s family was similar. In those days, it was important to be well-matched.

In the new society, they became ordinary workers in provincial cities and lived in such houses.Bai Shiqiu also asked the two elders if they had any complaints about not being able to become a young master and a young mistress.

Living a stable life is better than anything else.

These are my grandparents. They see things very clearly, but they also have old ideas. They just say they pamper themselves, and they think it is natural.

Grandpa is the eldest son of the Bai family, father is the eldest son, and Bai Shiqiu himself is the eldest grandson. This is the legitimate eldest grandson. His status may seem worthless to others, but he is the legitimate son of the Bai family and was born after breaking through powerful obstacles such as family planning.

According to old principles, doesn't it mean that the eldest son inherits the family business?
Therefore, all kinds of pampering from grandparents are completely revealed unconsciously.

But to be honest, even if the two old people did a good job, they bought at least two copies of everything, trying to balance it.

And what about mom and dad?

Bai Shiqiu thought of the story about his mother and father, and talked about how he spoiled his children. His mother always complained about his father, saying that he did not spank too much. When he was a child, the child was so naughty that he only received one slap in the face. I quietly waited for the child to fall asleep before looking at the little buttocks with a flashlight. I shed tears when I saw the red fingerprints. I really love my son so much!This kid is spoiled by you!

Where's mom?
My mother has never hit herself even once.

Four people doted on one person, maybe because of Bai Shiqiu's status as the legitimate son, maybe because he was cute when he was a child, but then, there was another reason.

The Bai family has dreamed of having a college student, from great-great-grandfather to grandparents to parents.

And Bai Shiqiu gave them hope. In the battle for junior high school, Bai Shiqiu won, and he won beautifully.

This hope became greater, and Bai Shiqiu was almost pampered by the whole family.But the greater the hope, the greater the pressure.Coupled with the internal competition in the key experimental classes, it is so oppressive that people can't breathe.

Two years ago, my 15-year-old self couldn't handle the second high school entrance exam in my life.

That failure was a huge blow to Bai Shiqiu, and the effect lasted for a long time. Now, two years later, Bai Shiqiu's grades are at the bottom. The fundamental reason is that he is tired of studying. That failure made Bai Shiqiu reluctant to touch books.

But now, if I have a chance to do it again, I, Bai Shiqiu, must seize it and change myself and the fate of our family no matter what!
"What's wrong with this child? Why hasn't he spoken?"

"Don't talk, it will disturb the child's train of thought."

Mom and dad had nothing to scratch, they just looked at their Xiao Qiu standing there motionless, as if she was thinking about something. "Dad." Bai Shiqiu had completely made up his mind and made a plan, so, "I lost the game today."

"It doesn't matter if you lose. You didn't score less, right? Tell dad about it..." Dad is now a complete fan.

"Um..." It was a bit embarrassing, but Bai Shiqiu still wanted to continue, "You and mom get on the kang first."

"what?"

Mom and Dad were really confused, but they still took off their shoes and got on the kang.

"Let's sit down together with the grandparents." Bai Shiqiu was still giving instructions.

What on earth is this kid going to do?

The four pairs of eyes of the grandparents, parents, and mothers were full of confusion.

Just at this time……

Bai Shiqiu also took off her shoes and got on the kang, but she didn't sit down, but suddenly, with a thud, she kowtowed.

He also said: "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, Xiaoqiu is wrong! Xiaoqiu has not learned well in the past two years and only knows how to play. Xiaoqiu knows that he is wrong! But from now on, Xiaoqiu will change his past and study hard. , I must be admitted to university!"

Crackling tears fell on the skin of the kang, Bai Shiqiu didn't feel uncomfortable at all at this moment, but was very happy. He never knew that apologizing can be so comfortable, and begging for forgiveness can feel so good.The reason, I'm afraid, is the original him, who didn't even have the chance to apologize or ask for forgiveness.

In the face of their love for him, he is really a jerk, and he has made too many bastards...

"This...wuwu..."

"What are you doing? Woohoo..."

"Don't, don't... wuwu..."

Grandma, grandma, dad, mom, they all cried, they all cried unconsciously.

In their hearts, Xiaoqiu has always been a good child. He used to do some shopping when he was a child, but it doesn't matter if he is a boy. After he goes to school, he is very worry-free. Not only is he good in studies, but he is also good in other aspects. He's very good, doesn't cause trouble, and likes to play ball. What a good kid.

It's just that I didn't do well in the high school entrance examination, and then I didn't study hard in the past two years. But even so, I didn't say anything, just waiting for Xiaoqiu, the kid, to understand and come back on his own.

Today, I have waited a long time. No matter how late it is, it is worth it.

"This is a great thing, why are you crying! Stop crying." Although grandma said this, tears kept pouring out of her deeply sunken eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, don't cry, don't cry anymore." Grandpa's face was filled with tears and his hands were shaking.

Parents are more direct.

"Just study hard from now on. My son can definitely do it!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you get into college or not. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"That's right, everyone is talking about it, those who study missiles are not as good as those who sell tea eggs..."

Faced with these words, Bai Shiqiu actually wanted to tell his father how noble tea eggs would be in the future.

What are you thinking about?

The atmosphere was almost ruined by himself, but Bai Shiqiu was really determined this time. He wanted to take the college entrance examination, and this was not a joke.

However, the current situation is very serious, there is only one year left, and I have thrown away almost everything I have learned.

However, life can also be found in desperate situations.

Bai Shiqiu wiped away his tears again. It must be said that today was the day he cried the most in his life. He absolutely showed his true feelings. He swore that he would never do this again in the future. Then he continued: "The situation is very difficult right now. , I don’t need to say it anymore. But, I still have confidence, I just need your support.”

"Support? Do you even need to ask? Just say it. Whatever you want, dad will give it to you... Well, don't make it too difficult."

"Xiaoqiu, our whole family fully supports you."

"Qiu, just say what you want. Who dares not to support it?"

"You damn old man, don't talk too much."

After experiencing the rebuke just now and the heroic words of the prodigal son turning back, this kind of feedback was expected by Bai Shiqiu, but...

"You must promise me."

Not sure yet?

"Just tell me!"

"Xiaoqiu, just say it straight and agree to anything!"

Once again, they made guarantees.

Bai Shiqiu saw that it was almost done, and finally said: "Two things. The first is that the house must be demolished and moved back to the same place. The second is that you agree to let me become an art student."

Grandpa, grandma, dad, and mom looked at each other.

　Don’t forget to recommend and collect, thank you very much.
