Chapter 72 Discovering Shuzhi's younger brother's talent



After Xiang Baiwei stuffed the food coupons into Xiang Shuzhi's hands, Jiang Sui quickly said with a smile: "Your sister gave it to you, you have to take it, but don't give it to me. Your sister is the head of our family."

These words made Xiang Shuzhi dare not to reach out his hand any further: "If my parents knew that I took your food coupons, they would definitely scold me."

"No," Xiang Baiwei waved her hand in a particularly generous manner, "Your brother-in-law and I are not short of money now, and we have some food coupons left over every month. Take it, otherwise we would be embarrassed to take this book."

After hearing this, Xiang Shuzhi obediently put away the food coupons. Then he saw Xiang Baiwei and his wife's eyes sparkling as they read, and smiled: "Are these enough? If not, I can help you find more. My former classmates should still have some, and I guess not many people need them. But what do you want these for? You don't want to go to college, do you? In my opinion, if you have that much time, you might as well learn a skill or find a master."

"What a mess! Getting into college is definitely more useful than learning a craft."

Xiang Baiwei reprimanded him lightly, but because it involved her own background, she could only say this much.

Xiang Shuzhi obviously didn't believe her, so he turned to find Jiang Sui to see if he could get someone on the same side as him: "Brother-in-law, what do you think? You are the principal, and you often meet so many high-ranking officials. Tell me what you think?"

"My opinion is the same as your sister's. It will definitely be useful to take the college entrance examination. Instead of cramming at the last minute, it is better to prepare now."

Xiang Shuzhi picked up a book half-believingly, flipped through a few pages, then put it down and picked up another one: "The contents of these books are very simple. I still remember what the teacher said at the time."

"Really? When you were in school, you were scolded by the teacher every other day. I thought you didn't like studying."

Xiang Baiwei picked up the book that Xiang Shuzhi had just read. It was filled with densely packed Russian words, which made people dizzy.

"Although I am often scolded by the teacher, I have never fallen behind in my studies. I always rank among the top in every exam." Xiang Shuzhi looked proud. "Besides, I can learn Russian as soon as I learn it. The teacher likes me to read it in class the most."

As he said this, Xiang Shuzhi took the book and read the contents aloud.

Xiang Baiwei, who had forgotten a lot of knowledge, turned to look at Jiang Sui's reaction.

Jiang Sui raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiang Shuzhi with a little surprise: "You speak very fluently and standardly. The teacher who taught you before must have been very good, right?"

"Yes, the teacher who taught me Russian had a Russian worker friend. His friend loved to drink, and my Russian teacher also loved to drink, and the two of us would often get together and not go home until we were drunk." Xiang Shuzhi showed a nostalgic look on his face, "But unfortunately, my teacher is not here now. He said he went back to his hometown where he was born."

Jiang Sui put down the Russian book and took an algebra book from the side: "What about the content here? Do you remember it?"

Xiang Shuzhi took the book and flipped through two pages carefully: "I still remember it. This question left the deepest impression on me. I was the first one in the class to finish it. The teacher was so happy that he asked me to go on stage to teach everyone how to do it."

These were things that Xiang Baiwei had never noticed before.

"Why didn't I know you were so good before?" Xiang Baiwei came closer with a curious look on her face. "I haven't heard you say anything. I only saw dad scolding you for being naughty at school, but I never knew you had such good grades."

Xiang Shuzhi was a little embarrassed by her praise: "It's not that bad. The main reason is that I am too naughty and get into trouble every other day. Dad thought I didn't like studying like my second brother. Although I really don't like it, I still know these things."

Jiang Sui took one look at the expression on Xiang Baiwei's face and knew what she was planning.

"Shuzhi," Jiang Sui cleared his throat, "You are not busy now, why don't you start preparing for the college entrance examination? Look at you, you still remember all this knowledge. It will be more effective to review it while you still remember it!"

When Xiang Shuzhi heard that he had to study, his face immediately drooped: "Let's not do it. I finally left school. I can't sit still. Brother-in-law, besides, I don't know if I can pass the exam. The most important thing for me now is to save money for my wife. My eldest brother has been worried about getting married for the past two years because he has no money. My future sister-in-law is still waiting for him."

"You are such a loser," Xiang Baiwei slapped him on the back in frustration, "Can you have a longer-term vision? If you study hard and get into college, will you still need this little money to marry a wife in the future?"

"I understand what you mean. If getting into college is really useful, then I'll have something to study for. But you're just thinking about it. I don't want to waste my time like this. What if I end up wasting time and can't find a wife? Will you compensate me?"

Xiang Baiwei was so angry about his words that she had a headache: "You are so stupid. You won't listen to us. You will regret it sooner or later."

Xiang Shuzhi blinked, looking puzzled: "We were talking peacefully, why are you so angry? How can your brother-in-law tolerate you when you have such a bad temper?"

Seeing that he was hitting Bai Wei's sore spot with his words, Jiang Sui quickly reached out and put his hand on his shoulder: "You should also stop talking. Come on, I just remembered that I have to go to the agency store to buy some things. You come with me."

Knowing that he was trying to help him out, Xiang Shuzhi waved to Bai Wei with great tact and jumped out the door first.

At the back, Jiang Sui patted Xiang Baiwei's shoulder comfortingly: "Don't be angry, put the books in first, I'll go out and have a good chat with Shuzhi. He has talent, if he prepares early, he will definitely be able to get into a good university in the future."

Xiang Baiwei was still angry about what Xiang Shuzhi had just said: "If you hadn't stopped me today, I would have definitely beaten him up."

"Okay, he's not a three or two year old kid, he's just talking for fun, there's no need to be angry with him."

Jiang Sui said this and came to the gate.

Xiang Shuzhi, who was standing outside the wall, was tiptoeing to peek inside. When he saw Jiang Sui coming out, he quickly pointed inside the wall and asked, "Is my sister still angry?"

"It's okay. I was just joking with you. She's your biological sister. How could she be really angry with you?" Jiang Sui shouted as he walked towards the village. "But your sister is doing this for your own good. She opened this grain workshop because she thought that you three brothers haven't married yet, and she wanted to make some money to help you. You shouldn't have said something that made her angry just now."

After hearing Jiang Sui's words, Xiang Shuzhi showed some guilt on his face: "So that's the case. The workshop is so hard, I don't want her to make money for us."

The PK has begun. Do you see my expectant look?   I am looking forward to your voting, commenting, and cheering for Jiang Jiang Weiwei!
