Obligations of the elderly

"Come and recognize him, this is your uncle." Sheyun Ji also drank too much, and greeted her son and grandson sitting at the next table, pointing to the stream.

Sheyun Ji's son had already learned Xiliu's true identity from his own son, but Sheyun Ji said to Peiyun without thinking, how could his mother's brother be so young... And why she didn't go home all the time, the old man didn't say anything.

The person who had been misunderstood by me for so many years suddenly became his uncle. This...that...Looking at the opposite stream, the serious and majestic middle-aged man showed a stiff smile for a while.

"It's no wonder your mother didn't tell you. It's really difficult to tell about the situation at that time." Xiliu took the initiative to explain to him with a smile: "After I was born, I was in poor health, and my family was troubled. I fell into a coma intermittently. It will be gone at some point, I told your mother not to tell me, so as not to worry you."

"Look...see what you said, you should have told us that when mother is inconvenient to visit, we can also go to do...to be filial..." The last word was deadlocked on the man's lips for a long time, and finally he said out.

It is his serious nature that pays attention to seniority, otherwise, if it is someone else, facing an "elder" who is about the same age as his own son, such words as "filial piety" may really be impossible to say.

"Yanling, your uncle gave you your name, and so did Peiyun's." Taking a hangover medicine from her grandson's hand, Sheyun Ji said again: "When Peiyun was born, your uncle slept with you." I didn’t hold you in my arms. When Yanling was born, I carried you to see your uncle. You were born on New Year’s Eve. I told you to name you New Year’s Eve. Your uncle said he had a A better name, this is why I named you Yanling, and you will become a nickname in New Year's Eve."

Thanks to my uncle, otherwise I would have changed from Danian Ji to Yanling Ji. Although men shouldn't pay attention to names, when interacting with others, names are face, and Yanling sounds much better than Danian!

Knowing this past through his mother, when he looked at the stream again, the middle-aged man—Yanling Ji had a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

However, knowing that I was not only hugged by my uncle when I was born, but also had to be given a name, and even though the other party is young, but he looks elegant and stable, accepting such an elder... It is not difficult to accept such an elder... It is not difficult to think of what I have done to the other party before. There is still a trace of guilt in the man's eyes due to the misunderstanding.

Then, his mother continued to break the news: "When your grandmother came back from Devouring the Mainland, she had your uncle in her stomach. It is said that she was married there. Your uncle and I were not born to the same father. Your uncle was born out of wedlock. I was born with your boyfriend after your grandmother came back. I don’t know who it is. Anyway, it’s finally your uncle’s father. Strictly speaking, your uncle is a legitimate child, and I’m an illegitimate daughter! Hahaha !"

After breaking the news, Sheyun Ji laughed.

This, this...but it's something my mother/grandma never said before!Hearing this, the mouths of the father and son opened wide at the same time, thinking that the person who was an illegitimate child was a legitimate child, and his own uncle/uncle, and his mother was actually an illegitimate daughter. As a descendant of an illegitimate daughter, I... Own……

Peiyun Ji is fine, but Yanling Ji seems to have been hit hard.

"Brother, I haven't seen you nephews and grandchildren for so many years, don't you plan to give a red envelope? Redress fee... yes! That's called redress fee!" She had no interest in the psychological trauma of her adult son at all, and Sheyun Ji ignored it. He looked at the stream with a pair of black eyes, and said to him with a smile.

Xiliu was taken aback by what she said.

"Want to renege? I have prepared all the red envelopes for you, even if there is no money in it, it doesn't matter if there is no cash. I will help you install the ATM in advance, and it is there." Sheyun Ji said, holding Tuanfan pointed to the front corner, and Xiliu and Gongsi saw that there really was an ATM over there.

Speechlessly looking at his sister, Xiliu took out his wallet and looked through the cash inside. He felt that the cash was enough. Just when he was about to give the money directly to his nephew, Sheyun Ji had already ordered someone to bring the red envelope ——Completely different from the two red envelopes that Xiliu imagined, it was a red envelope on a cart!

Seeing her brother who rarely showed a dumbfounded expression, Sheyun Ji smiled triumphantly: "Do you think it's just the two of them? Those drunks outside are all your nephews!"

After finishing speaking, she stood up and clapped her hands: "Get up! Get up! The elders are going to give out red envelopes. Think about saying something auspicious for a while, and then line up to receive the red envelopes!"

Seeing that the other Ji family members who were drunk on the table really came here in a cloud of mist, Xiliu sighed and ordered to go to the direction of the ATM - to withdraw money.

Next was Sheyun Ji sitting next to him, with red envelopes in palaces and streams handing out red envelopes.

"This is my brother. You should also be called Uncle. Call me. After calling Uncle, I will give you a red envelope." Not only did She Yun Ji sit there, she also introduced her, still without talking about the past, and directly moved out of Xiliu's seniority. The people who listened were generous, and the people who listened were dizzy, but they all drank too much, and since the patriarch introduced it, they called, so each of them did not have any doubts, and obediently saluted and said to the tender-faced new elders. After saying auspicious words and receiving red envelopes from the elders, everyone went back happily and continued to drink!

So much so that when they saw the red envelope and recalled it coming out the next day, they were all shocked.

However, it was just a shock, he was called out, and the red envelope was taken. Specifically, what happened to this elder... Everyone naturally has some legends in private.

Even Gongsi was called uncle all night ← When introducing Xiliu, Sheyun also introduced him to other people, since this is uncle's tool, although this is really young, but the seniority is obvious She is also on the same level as uncle, so she can't be called aunt, right?In the end, everyone also referred to the palace as uncle.

When the last "eldest nephew" was sent away, Gong Si's hands were stiff with red envelopes.

Only then did Sheyun Ji wave her hand, asking the waiter to send everyone in the hall back to their respective rooms, and she herself was escorted away by her son and grandson.

Rejecting the waiter's support, Xiliu waved his hand and led Gong Si to the terrace on the side of the hall, pointing to the stairs on the side of the terrace that could hardly be seen without looking carefully, he said to Gong Si: "We can walk back from here own room."

"Oh?" Gong Si raised his eyebrows, "Have you been here before?"

"Well, my mother left behind two big houses. One is where I live now, and the other is here. She left it to Sheyun."

Your mother is really rich - Gong Si thought in his heart.

"What did you experience when you were a child?" The staircase here is exquisite and dim. Although there is a light at a certain distance, the light is very dim, and it can't illuminate anything except a small area under your feet.

Except for the noise in the banquet hall below, the surroundings were quiet, the sky was full of stars, and their figures were submerged in the rose bushes by the wall.

This kind of situation seems to make people say things that they would not normally say. Normally, the palace would not ask. He thought it was a private matter, but now he asked impulsively.

Maybe, he thought, the guy in the stream needed a little reassurance.

The stream walking in front of him suddenly stopped, and after a long silence, the stream suddenly whispered: "Can you give me a hug?"

Dazed for a moment, Gong Si rushed up a few steps and hugged the stream from behind.

Sure enough, this guy still needs some comfort.

They hugged each other for a long, long time, until Gong Si couldn't help looking over Xi Liu's shoulder to look at his face, and after a while, he saw Xi Liu's protruding lips.

ha?What?After staying motionless for a long time, is this guy actually laughing?

Gong Si let go of the small waist of the stream all at once.

Then he heard Xiliu laughing: "Actually, it's not that bitter."

"My mother lost my own ability after giving birth to me. Not only that, but in that year, the children born in my family basically had poor ability, and some even had no ability at all. My grandfather naturally blamed me."

"My mother is the most capable descendant of the Ji family in the past thousand years. Grandpa has great expectations for her. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment." Sitting on the steps, Xiliu talked about her own affairs.

"There were indeed a lot of unlucky things in those years. Many people in Ji's family said I was unlucky. My mother taught those who said that and the children who bullied me, and then took me away. .

It's just because I said at the time that I don't want to live in that house anymore.

My grandpa's grandpa liked my mother. When my mother was very young, he gave her the property under his own name. We lived in the house left by my great-grandpa. We were neither short of money nor house. Basically, I I didn't suffer much, at most it was just that I suffered from poor health before. "

"My sister didn't go with us. She is an ordinary person. She said she would stay there. In the future, she will get the approval of the elders by participating in the coming-of-age ceremony, enter the core of Ji's family, and overthrow my grandfather in the future."

"Ah... as you can see, she did it later."

Listening to the narration of the stream, Gong Si's expression gradually became numb, what could he say?It can only be said that he sympathizes with Xiliu for nothing, hardcore mom + hardcore old girl, this guy doesn't need sympathy at all!

After hammering Xiliu with a punch, Gong Si went straight up.

The stream didn't keep up, and he was still sitting on the steps. He suddenly thought of something.

When he mentioned that his sister went back to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, he suddenly thought of it.

His "ah" just now didn't mean to say "she did it later", but thought of another thing.

Many, many years ago, before Sheyun participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, she made a special trip back to find him, and wanted to attend the coming-of-age ceremony with him.It's just that at that time he had already fallen into a coma, and Sheyun had waited for him for two years but did not wait for him to wake up, so he participated in the coming-of-age ceremony by himself.

Pretending to be Chihu Ji and participating in the coming-of-age ceremony with him, could it be... Sheyun had this idea in the first place, right?

Grandpa... seems to have passed away in the year that Sheyun participated in the completion ceremony.

She wanted to ask herself to go back to the coming-of-age ceremony, and maybe she wanted him to meet grandpa again, but she didn't say that he was young at that time, and she didn't guess it.

And the reason why she stayed at Ji's house and didn't leave, is that Sheyun just wanted to replace her mother and accompany him with grandpa, right?

What a thoughtful and considerate kid.

Sitting on the steps, the last hustle and bustle died down, and the stream fell into memory.

Until the voice of the palace came from above——

"Hey! Where do we live? I don't know you unless you lead the way."

After walking half way, Gong Si came back to look for him again.

Gongsi is also a thoughtful and considerate person, thinking in his heart, Xiliu stood up: "Here we come."

Responding with his mouth, he walked towards the palace.

Gongsi and Xiliu left the next day—they came back from leave and had to go back to class!

Sheyun Ji covered her face with a round fan and came to see them off.

Look carefully, not only is the fan behind wearing sunglasses but also a mask, Gong Si was taken aback by her appearance——

"What's the matter? Have a cold?"

"No, the wrinkles are showing." Sheyun Ji's voice came muffled from behind the mask.

"In order to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony with my brother, I specially asked a capable beautician to give me a youth revitalization treatment, which can last up to 32 days. In the end, the 30 days were spent on the coming-of-age ceremony with heavy makeup, which was wasted."

Palace Si: ...

"Brother, I came to see you even with wrinkles on my face. I actually wanted to ask you something." Sheyun Ji suddenly said, "Do you want to be the next patriarch?"

It was obviously such an important sentence, but she asked it so lightly.

Xiliu froze for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm not suitable."

"Why? Your ability is clearly the highest." Sheyun Ji tilted her head.

Xiliu shrugged: "As expected of you, you grew up with grandpa. Didn't you just want to prove that ability is not a necessary condition to be a patriarch, so you kept working hard until you became a patriarch?"

"The necessary conditions for becoming a patriarch are a sense of family belonging and a sense of responsibility. I don't have both." Xiliu said, seeing his sister's displeasure, he quickly added: "Well, now it's a little more than before. But only a little bit."

He said, comparing a little distance with his fingers—about five centimeters, right?

"Besides, my age is not suitable. Compared with a future patriarch who has never seen or heard of a grandpa, young people would rather have someone of the same age as the next patriarch?" Xiliu said, Looking at Pei Yun next to her, "The more suitable person is obviously right next to me."

When he said this, both Pei Yun and his father were stunned.

They are now convinced that their mother/grandma wanted to name Xiliu as the next patriarch, but why did the other party refuse...

Looking at the stunned father and son, Xiliu smiled slightly: "I didn't do anything to me when I thought I was an illegitimate child, and even cleaned up the mess for you, knowing the names of every clan member, and knowing their characters, strengths and weaknesses , When I was an adult, I took the initiative to undertake the things that others didn't want to take care of, and took the lead in doing the most thankless work... Really, Pei Yun is really suitable to be the patriarch."

"His ability is not bad, but there is no contract." Xiliu also said.

Then he saw Peiyun looking at him resentfully—ah, by the way, Peiyun was originally capable, but he persuaded him to run away.

Waving his hand, Xiliu looked at Peiyun: "Shuangjiang is not suitable for you. Your two personality and hobbies do not match, and his personality is casual. You are an honest boy. You will not be able to control him sooner or later. Resentment, needless to say, the person being bullied must be you."

"Looking back, there must be more suitable ones." Like all elders, Xiliu also proposed to ask Peiyun for a "blind date".

"I don't want it, I have to find it myself." Like all the juniors, Pei Yun resisted.

However, it's good to talk about it, so far, Peiyun and his father have no more grievances in their hearts.

The aircraft slowly took off under the eyes of the see-off team headed by She Yunji. After several hours of sailing, they returned to the original city. With the notes provided by Xingyun and others, the foundation of the two is good. Just caught up with the progress.

Studying, taking exams, and eight months later, the two took the college entrance examination together with others.

However, the exam they took this time was slightly different from most people, they took the mainland entrance exam!

The so-called Continental Joint Examination, as the name implies, means that the Ministry of Education of several continents jointly formulates questions and conducts a unified exam, which is more difficult than the own exams of each continent. Can get a higher scholarship too!

In the past, no matter how high the scholarship was, Gongsi would not consider this. After all, he has three younger brothers. Now... how should I put it?After seeing his uncle and his parents, thanks to Xie Kai, the younger brothers have been taken better care of him, and he began to think that he could try this too.

Not only did he take the test by himself, but he also planned to ask Qiu Xia and the others to take the test in the future!After all, Jizhou is not necessarily the best school for each major. If you can take this kind of exam, you can go to the best school in advance without a doubt!

↑

Of course, this is what good students think.

As for students whose academic performance is not so good... To be exact, students Malone and Ai Min who are still a bit poor, they also think that the mainland joint entrance examination is very good. There are more continents for one grade, and the schools they can choose are also limited. Is there more? !

The two of them were dumbfounded after taking two preliminary examinations: they thought that they were much stronger than before, and they might be able to mix with Gongsi and the others at the end of the crane. It's a school, maybe they didn't go to school in Jizhou!

After all, Jizhou is one of the continents with the highest overall education level, with a large number of candidates and high scores!

In this way, they put their minds on the Continental Joint Entrance Examination. It just so happened that Gongsi Xingyun and others had good grades and did not reject taking the Continental Joint Examination. Therefore, the friends in Class F turned out to be Quan Jiling College The only class where all members take the mainland entrance exam.

Although their class size is a bit small...

On the day when the results were announced, they gathered together specially to wait for the results to be announced. They were at Lin's house, that's right, the place where Lin lived before, and now Malone and Emin lived here, and took care of the house for him.

Carefully prepared fried chicken drumsticks with beer potato chips, Malone nervously waited in front of the computer.

Isn't this a must-have for watching movies?Although he didn't understand why Malone's preparations were like this, Gong Si still took a sip of beer to suppress it ← in fact, he was also a little nervous.

Then, when the time came, the results were issued on time!

The Continental Entrance Examination adopts the form of list release!In order to enhance the sense of competition among students from all continents!All grades are ranked from high to low according to the nouns.

Of course, in the eyes of Ma Long and others, this is simply formalism!It was just to give the top students a chance to show off, but he also really felt that being able to rank among the top in the joint college entrance examination jointly organized by several continents is actually really amazing, for example——

"I now believe that you are really good. You can get No.1 in the exams on all continents. How did you pass the exam!" Looking at the first name on the list, Malone was completely convinced.

There is no need to guess that it is someone else, Xiliu's name is followed by Ji Ling College, Nishijiu Palace City, and Ji Zhou, plus a line of examination admission number, it is only this person, don't think about it.

"Ah, I was also a little surprised. I was absent for a month in the third year of high school. I thought I might fail the exam this time." Xi showed a surprised expression.

"Stop pretending!" Hitting him with a shoulder, Malone raised his glass: "Come on! Let's toast to the stream!"

After filling the glasses with a "boom", the teenagers took a sip of beer each, and then nervously continued to look at the report card.

The second one whose name appeared among them was Xingyun, who was ranked 99th. It doesn't look high, but this is the mainland entrance exam!Being able to take the 99th place in the exam is already the No.2 of Ji Ling College to participate in the mainland entrance exam this time!

Everyone raised their cups for Xingyun again.

There was also a small episode during the period, 44 people were a man named Gongsi. At first, Marlon thought it was Gongsi, but the other party wrote the name wrong, until he looked back and saw that the school and the continent he belonged to were not them. Only then did I realize that I had identified the wrong person.

But the next one should be Gong Si. In the two mock exams, Gong Si's score in Jizhou was about 220. Now that he has combined rankings on several continents, he finally ranked [-]th.

Don't underestimate this result, Gong Si is the third person on this list among the candidates of Ji Ling College, that is to say, he got the third place in the whole school!

This was a good result that he had never achieved before.

Picking up the wine glass and touching the classmate next to him, Gong Si's expression calmed down: "Good luck, I usually do better in the more important exams, this time it can be regarded as an extraordinary performance."

Malone and Nilu could only look envious.

This list only publishes the names of the top [-] extremely outstanding students, and other people can check their detailed results in the system later.

Nilu is fine, his grades are not too good, but they are not too bad either. Next, he just needs to pay attention when applying for majors, and he will definitely learn something.

Malone and Emin were not so good, they ranked in the bottom 99 and bottom 1000.

It sounds like this is a lot of improvement from their previous first-to-last and second-to-last results, but——

This is the mainland entrance exam.

Taking out all the remaining beer, Malone took the others to drink with him.

Until the stream found a turning point for them—

"Puzhou Mechanical University can admit you. Their admission scores are really high. However, since their majors involve racing, it is very welcome for students from our school to have racing experience. I saw them at the same time. Recruit candidates with racing results, I checked your past competition results, plus your test scores are calculated according to their admission formula, you just can get in!"

Xiliu smiled and said to them: "Besides, Dazhou has the longest history and the best smelting major is also in Puzhou. Ah Si just wants to apply there, so I will naturally apply for the same school. Xingyun and Ni The medical university that Lu wanted to apply for in advance happened to have one too."

"Several schools are in the same college town, so—"

"We can go to school together again," Xiliu said, raising his glass to him.

Listening to the stream in a daze, Malon suddenly cheered and raised his cup high.

With a bang, the wine glasses of the friends collided again!
