My younger brothers are so fierce!!! I'm clearly the eldest brother!

Jiang Guanqing had already placed the gifts he gave to the group in their respective rooms and had also stuffed New Year's money under their pillows.

The gifts were displayed prominently, and everyone saw them at a glance, but no one expected the New Year's money.

Jiang Ning likes to hug one of her pillows while sleeping, and her sleeping posture is rather wild, which is how she discovered the red envelope under the pillow. After taking a picture and showing it off in the group chat, the others saw the message and that's when they found out.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Guanqing and his brothers got up early, had a quick breakfast, and drove towards the cemetery.

Jiang Guanqing sat in the passenger seat, turning his head to look at the scenery rushing past outside the window.

The last time the brothers visited their parents together was several years ago; in recent years, they have visited their parents separately.

The people in the back row exchanged glances when they saw that Jiang Guanqing was in a bad mood.

Jiang Ting spoke first, "Big brother, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Jiang Guanqing snapped out of his reverie, pondered for a moment, and shook his head. "No."

Jiang Ting scratched his face, just as he was about to say something more, when Jiang Ning, who was sitting next to him, suddenly sat up straight and stretched out his arm to shove the phone screen in front of Jiang Guanqing's eyes.

"Look, bro, our teacher sent out red envelopes in the group chat, and I was the luckiest one."

Jiang Guanqing glanced at it, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "Hmm, Xiao Ning is lucky."

Jiang Ning wanted to say something more, but Jiang Ting secretly tugged at her clothes.

The car fell silent again, with only the sound of the car moving.

The trees in the cemetery were bare, the sky was overcast, and it was still snowing.

Jiang Guanqing walked at the front, carrying a bag of pastries that his parents loved to eat. Jiang Yan walked beside Jiang Guanqing, holding a black rain cup.

Jiang Zhuo and the others followed behind Jiang Guanqing, silently climbing the steps.

Upon arriving at the location, Jiang Guanqing stared at his parents' smiling faces in the tombstone photo for a long time. Then he squatted down, took out the pastries from the bag one by one, arranged them neatly, and then took out a lighter to light three incense sticks.

As wisps of smoke rose, Jiang Guanqing's eyes stung and quickly filled with tears.

Mom and Dad, we came together this year.

Jiang Yan tilted the umbrella slightly towards Jiang Guanqing, then suddenly spoke up, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'll take good care of my eldest brother, and my younger brothers... I'll take care of them too."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Guanqing hurriedly said, "I will take good care of my younger brothers." He didn't need Xiao Yan to take care of him; he was the eldest brother.

Jiang Zhuo and the others stepped forward one by one, put down the flowers they were holding, and each of them said something along the lines of, "We will take good care of our eldest brother."

All his younger brothers said the same thing, and Jiang Guanqing lost his temper. They were all turning black into white, even though it was clearly him taking care of his younger brothers, the eldest brother taking care of his younger brothers.

As the wind blew, the ashes of the paper swirled. Jiang Guanqing and his group stood before the monument for a long time, until the last bit of incense had burned out, before turning and heading down the mountain.

Jiang Ting jogged a few steps to catch up with Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Yan, took out a milk candy from his pocket and handed it to them.

"Thank you, Xiaoting." Jiang Guanqing took the milk candy, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth. The sweetness spread in his mouth, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

Working or going to school is like a snail, crawling slowly, while holidays and rest days are like a rocket, disappearing in a flash.

Of the brothers, Jiang Yan was the first to return to work. The hospital couldn't be left unattended, and before he had even finished his annual leave, he rushed back to the hospital after just one phone call.

Jiang Huai also started heading to the training camp, busy training with his teammates and preparing for the competition.

Jiang Zhuo finished her work before the Lunar New Year and is currently unemployed, while our soon-to-be graduate Jiang Ning only has a two-week winter break and will be going to school to register tomorrow.

Jiang Zhuo didn't get up until noon. After eating, he sat down next to Jiang Ning with a packet of yogurt in his mouth. "Oh, you're such a busy person, still working on something?"

Several workbooks were laid out on the coffee table in the living room, and there was a huge stack of test papers.

Jiang Ning's eyes were full of dark circles as she gripped her pen and wrote furiously. Hearing Jiang Zhuo's words, she rolled her eyes and continued writing.

Jiang Zhuo picked up a few sheets of test papers that Jiang Ning had finished writing from the ground. "Xiao Liu, this won't do. Did you copy the answers? Why is it that only the last big question on the math test paper has the steps, and the others only have the answers?"

"And this Chinese test paper, there are so many blanks, how come you only wrote a few words? And why did you leave the listening section of the English test blank, and you didn't write the composition either..."

"Shut up." Jiang Ning was already annoyed, and Jiang Zhuo kept buzzing in his ear. He really wanted to swat him with a fly swatter.

Jiang Zhuo wasn't annoyed by Jiang Ning's disrespectful words to his elder brother. He leaned back on the sofa with an air of nonchalance and sighed comfortably.

"Your second brother will be checking when he gets back tonight, so I advise you to write carefully. Just a friendly reminder, your eldest brother will be looking at it too."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but roll his eyes again. If you asked him, he wouldn't have written this crap if his older brothers hadn't been watching him and checking his winter break homework.

There were still more than a dozen test papers to finish. Jiang Ning felt dizzy. This holiday was worse than no holiday at all. In addition to a workbook of about a hundred pages for each subject, they also gave out more than a dozen test papers for more than ten days. They said it was one paper a day.

One sheet a day for Chinese, one sheet a day for Math, one sheet a day for English, and one sheet a day for Physics, Chemistry, and Geography, which makes a total of six sheets a day.

Jiang Zhuo took a big sip of yogurt. "Second brother will be back in two hours."

"Shut up!" Not only do you not help, but you also keep making a fuss.

Adhering to this approach of keeping things as simple as possible, Jiang Ning finished all the remaining papers within two hours.

When Jiang Yan returned, she saw Jiang Ning sprawled on the sofa watching TV, with exercise books and test papers covering the living room table and carpet.

Jiang Guanqing happened to come downstairs and saw this scene, so he quietly helped tidy up.

Jiang Yan walked over and pinched Jiang Ning's ear with her fingers. "Clean yourself up. I'll check after you finish eating."

Jiang Ning covered his ears in pain, "Okay, let go." It hurt so much.

Jiang Ning's gaze swept over Jiang Guanqing, and she remembered Jiang Ting's disgusting way of acting cute with her older brother. Her eyes darted around, and she imitated Jiang Ting's high-pitched voice, "Ah—it hurts, it hurts, older brother~~~~ my ears hurt so much, are they about to be twisted off by second brother?"

Jiang Yan froze on the spot, her expression slowly stiffening, and a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

How could Jiang Xiaoliu make such a disgusting, deathly noise? And it even sounds somewhat familiar.

Jiang Guanqing paused in his work of tidying up the papers, goosebumps rising on his arms. He looked hesitantly at Jiang Ning's hand covering her ear, "Does it really hurt that much? Let your older brother take a look."

Xiao Ning has never spoken like this before. Is it really in too much pain? But Xiao Yan knows her limits; she usually just jokes around.

Jiang Guanqing frowned slightly and quickly took a few steps to check on Jiang Ning's injuries.

It turned out he learned it from Jiang Xiaowu. Jiang Yan had already realized this by now. He crossed his arms and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Jiang Guanqing carefully removed Jiang Ning's hand from her ears. Goodness, her earlobes were only slightly red, but they would return to normal in two minutes.

Jiang Guanqing hesitated for a moment and touched her. "Xiao Ning... seems to be alright."
