Chapter 41 41 Feng Ci: My sister is cuter as a little illiterate girl. ...

On June 10th, the college entrance examination ended.

Feng Ci welcomed the last summer vacation of his high school years with the chirping of insects and frogs, but he did not feel relaxed because the exams were over.

In the past, he didn't care about the college entrance examination and had no target school. Now, he wishes he could go back to three years ago to wake up his slacking self.

In the final six months of his sprint, he set his goal on attending the Agricultural University in City A. The Agricultural University was the last of the 211 universities in City A and was only two blocks away from his home. He could ride his little Emma home for dinner anytime every day.

Feng Ci couldn't imagine how happy he would be as a college student if he could go to Agricultural University.

Before the scores came out, Feng Ci was anxious every day and had nightmares about failing the exam.

Meiguo didn't understand why her brother was still so worried and gloomy even though he didn't have to do homework every day.

"Because your brother is worried about not being able to get into the Agricultural University."

After learning about his brother's troubles from Qiao Tong, the child patted Feng Ci's shoulder in a righteous manner: "Brother, you can still get into a university that pays well."

"I'm a big eater, I can help you."

Feng Ci felt relieved when he saw this little guy who didn't even have a kindergarten diploma.

"Thank you. I'll find you again when I have this university."

Meiguo took Fengci out for a walk. When they reached the entrance of a newly opened milk tea shop, Meiguo stood under the sign, pointing at pictures of the new products:

"I want to drink this."

Feng Ci pointed at the words on the picture and said, "Children can't eat it."

Meiguo glanced at him and read out the words word by word: "The second cup and a half price."

Seal: "..."

It's incredible! She actually secretly knows so many words. It seems like it will be hard to fool her in the future.

"Forget it." Berry sighed, "I know you don't have any money."

"I have it." Feng Ci knew it was just a child's trick, but he still said resolutely, "Buy it."

Unexpectedly, Meiguo didn't nod happily. Instead, she opened the screen of her phone watch, showing off the fifty yuan she earned, and then straightened her back like a big sister:

"Go ahead and pick out a drink you want."

Feng Ci: "...your loan sharking business hasn't been shut down yet?"

The price has increased from 25 yuan to 50 yuan, but it has not been reported by the public and has not been taken off the shelves, which really surprised him.

Meiguo understood her brother's yin and yang, raised her round little fist and hit him: "If you say that again, I won't be friends with you."

Feng Ci was punched and kept his mouth shut.

Berry raised his chubby face proudly, "I have a big plan to make money."

"you? "

"A big money-making scheme?"

"Picking up trash?"

Meiguo's eyes widened and she pointed at her chest: "Brother, how could you eavesdrop on my conversation?"

"I wasn't eavesdropping." Feng Ci tapped his temples with his slender fingers. "Because I have this."

"Okay, you're smart." Berry's face swelled visibly. "This is the money I earned from picking up cardboard."

Feng Ci was stunned for a moment: "Are you saying that you picked up all the cardboard piled up at the door?"

"hold head high."

The average temperature in City A in May is around 23 degrees Celsius. Although it is not too hot, the ultraviolet rays are quite strong.

No wonder he felt that this unfortunate child had become darker. It turned out that he was picking up cardboard every day during the day.

Feng Ci felt a little uncomfortable, "You are not poor, why do you earn that little money? You are asking for trouble."

Dad gave me a mine, mom gave me an island, and brother gave me a big villa. Any one of them is enough to feed a person for several lifetimes.

Meiguo ignored her brother and squeezed into the crowd with her size advantage. She stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to place an order: "Sister, I want a second cup of grapes at half price. Two cups, thank you."

The store clerk recognized Meiguo and asked with a smile, "Cheese and grape milk cap, three parts sugar, right?"

"Yes, yes." Berry Fly rubbed his hands and said eagerly, "Sister, my mouth is dry."

The store clerk got it instantly and responded with a squint: "It will be ready soon. Please wait a moment."

Soon Meiguo squeezed out of the crowd holding two cups of milk tea and generously gave one to Feng Ci, "Here, this is for you."

Feng Ci: "Guoguo, do you come to this store often?"

"My mother brought me here three times."

Feng Ci's eyes flickered slightly, and he pointed at a line of words on the billboard and asked, "What does it say?"

"have no idea."

"Mom didn't teach me."

The case was solved. It turned out that she only knew those few words. Feng Ci felt inexplicably relieved and happy. It was great. His sister was still illiterate.

The brother and sister each drank a cup of milk tea and went home. Feng Ci saw the neatly stacked cardboard boxes at the door, and remembered what they talked about in the milk tea shop. He went to find Qiao Tong with questions.

"Guoguo is like your father, she's very interested in making money." Qiao Tong said with a warm smile as she cleared the weeds from the flowerpot, "Xiao Ci, Guoguo is actually working hard to make money because your birthday is coming soon, and she wants to give you a birthday present."

Feng Ci: "...My birthday?"

"Yes." Qiao Tong stood up, dusted himself off, looked at his eldest son and said softly, "You haven't had a birthday in all these years. It's time to have a good one."

If Qiao Tong hadn't mentioned it, Feng Ci himself wouldn't have even remembered his birthday.

"I'm not a child." Feng Ci said awkwardly, "It doesn't matter whether I pass or not."

Qiao Tong touched the child who was being embarrassed by him and said, "Come on, Xiaoci. Daddy, Mommy, and your sister all want to celebrate your birthday."

Under his mother's persuasion, Feng Ci reluctantly agreed. In front of Meiguo, he pretended not to know that his birthday was coming up, and silently watched the silly little girl go out early and come back late to pick up cardboard and prepare gifts for him.

The garbage in the community is collected by special people every morning. The garbage cannot leave this high-end community, and people from outside cannot come in. The cardboard boxes are just there anyway, so the retired men and women simply find some work for themselves. They are actually not short of money.

And Berry is really short of money.

She had no liquid cash and was just a poor child wearing designer clothes. The loan business she started on a whim was forced to close down due to complaints. Her father said that she was engaged in a gray industry and suggested that she find some honest ways to make money.

So, Berry showed his hardworking side and picked up cardboard.

Berry, with his tiny arms and legs, was very active in grabbing food from the bowls of the old men and women. Every morning before dawn, he would pull a small trailer and go downstairs with Qiao Tong to pick up cardboard and bottles.

The community does a good job of garbage sorting, and empty bottles are washed before being thrown away, so there is no need to worry about them getting dirty.

A pound of cardboard sells for two yuan. When there are few berries, I can pick one pound, and when there are many, I can pick five pounds, making a net profit of ten yuan a day.

With so much money, she can eat whatever she wants!

Seeing the huge business opportunity, Meiguo is determined to become the leader in collecting cardboard in this community.

The college entrance examination results have not yet come out, but various tutoring institutions and fake schools have already started to compete for students. The college entrance examination candidates who are already anxiously waiting for the results feel unlucky when they receive such calls. If they don't curse, they are considered well-mannered.

Feng Ci was no exception and received this kind of call. He was luckier than others because it was Meiguo who answered the phone.

Meiguo usually uses her smartwatch to chat with her friends and is very familiar with answering the phone. However, she is only three years old, and listening to the enrollment information is like listening to a foreign language. Both her left and right brains fail to understand it.

The admissions officer was helpless and earnestly instructed before hanging up, "Little boy, ask your brother to call me back later."

"May I have your name?"

"My last name is Ji, just call me Teacher Ji."

After a while, Feng Ci came out of the shower and heard Meiguo calling, "Brother, a teacher is calling you."

"What?"

Feng Ci opened the call log and saw a harassing call with an IP address marked on it, which couldn't possibly be from a teacher at their school.

"What was that phone call about?"

"Looking for you."

The call lasted for forty seconds. Feng Ci was curious about what Meiguo could talk about with the other party, so he deliberately asked, "Guoguo, do you know him?"

"I don't know him."

"So what did you talk about for so long?" Feng Ci decided to test her. "For example, do you know the other person's last name or first name?"

Meiguo's big eyes rolled around, and after a long pause, he said slowly, "My last name is Gou Gou~~"

Feng Ci: “…” No cuteness allowed.

The next day, a small amount of berries was added to my wallet, and I took Feng Ci to buy milk tea again.

Meiguo can make money on his own and is very confident. He can buy whatever he wants to eat and he exudes the temperament of a wealthy person.

"We can't drink milk tea every day. It's bad for our health." Feng Ci tried to suggest, "Why don't we buy something else? Like, maybe a blind box?"

"Do you mean a lottery, brother?"

The gambling brother who is addicted to blind box draws: "That's right."

"Then I don't want it." Berry was clear-headed. "Dad said money should be spent wisely and thrown into the water to hear the sound."

Feng Ci wholeheartedly agreed with what Qiao Tong said. Meiguo inherited his father's genes and had a special liking for making money.

Suddenly I felt the same way about the old man who relied on his parents and children for stability and happiness.

The brother and sister stood at the door of the familiar milk tea shop. Feng Ci waited calmly for his sister to feed him. The voices of two girls talking in the crowd came into his ears.

"Would you like some mango sago?"

"I can't drink it. There's mango in it, and I'm allergic to mangoes."

After waiting for a while, Berry came out waddling like a little penguin, holding a glass of milk tea. She gave Feng Ci a cup and asked, "Brother, what does it mean to be allergic to mangoes?"

"Eating mangoes will make you feel uncomfortable, such as having a headache, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and a rash on your body. Severe symptoms may require hospitalization or even be life-threatening. Therefore, people who are allergic to mangoes should not eat mangoes."

"Ohh." Berry sighed as she bit the straw and took a big sip. "That's so pitiful."

Feng Ci rubbed the chubby boy's face and said, "Some people are born allergic to vegetables and have never eaten any vegetables in their entire lives. Look, you're not allergic to anything, yet you're still picky about food every day."

"Never having to eat vegetables for the rest of his life?" Meiguo said enviously, "Then he must be the happiest person in the world."

“…”

In the evening, Feng Ci, who was bored, took out the early education textbook he had bought for Meiguo before, intending to teach Meiguo arithmetic. He felt that witches should be considered science students, and since they were science students, how could they not know arithmetic.

Learning arithmetic well will help you control the dosage, so as to avoid excessive dosage and harming others for your own benefit.

As soon as he put out the textbook, Meiguo turned her head and ran away, and he couldn't stop her even if he called her.

Feng Ci coaxed, "Arithmetic is not difficult, come back."

Berry replied from a distance: "Brother, I'm allergic to arithmetic and can't learn it."

"goodbye."
