"Second sister, do you know which construction site my eldest brother used to work on?"
Inside the student dormitory, Zhou Na suddenly received a call from Zhou Ling.
Faced with Zhou Ling's question, Zhou Na paused for a moment, then replied, "I...I'm not quite sure."
"Second sister, so you didn't know either. I thought eldest brother had told you and you knew. Okay then."
On the phone, Zhou Ling's tone was clearly disappointed, and she hung up the phone herself.
But on the other end of the phone, Zhou Na frowned slightly after hanging up.
Zhou Chen works on construction sites and rarely talks to them, so she really doesn't know.
To be more precise, aside from knowing that Zhou Chen had a master named Xu Laoqi, they knew almost nothing else.
But Zhou Chen said that with his master Xu Laoqi's help, he didn't feel tired working on the construction site.
Every time she went home on the weekend, Zhou Chen looked very relaxed, and certainly didn't look like she had done a day of heavy work on the construction site.
Even if you're really tired,
As the eldest child in the family, isn't it my duty to support the whole family?
There's always someone who has to make sacrifices and work harder for the other family members; that's the responsibility and obligation of the eldest brother.
Zhou Ling's question made Zhou Na feel a little ashamed, but it quickly disappeared. Zhou Na felt that as long as she got into a good university in the future, she could repay Zhou Chen.
At that time, she made a lot of money; even a little bit showing under her fingernails was enough for Zhou Chen to live very well.
Zhou Chen's efforts were worthwhile.
Just like investing, there's no return without investment. Raising children is all about preparing for old age.
Zhou Na shook her head, clearing her mind of these distractions, put her phone aside, and continued to focus on her book.
Completely forgetting that everything she had—food, clothing, daily necessities, including a cell phone that her peers didn't have but she did—was earned by Zhou Chen through hard work.
She, however, enjoyed all of this without a care in the world.
On the other end,
Seeing that Zhou Ling had failed to get the exact location from Zhou Na, Zhao Kun couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile, "I thought your second sister was so good at studying that she would know about this. It seems she's no different from you."
“My second sister is very busy, she doesn’t have time to care about this kind of thing. Oh, let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about how to find the construction site where my eldest brother is.” Zhou Ling didn’t understand Zhao Kun’s deeper meaning and was only focused on finding the construction site where Zhou Chen was.
"That's easy. Just follow your older brother. Since he's contracted the construction site canteen, he'll definitely check it out every day after school. We can just follow him," Zhao Kun said casually.
Zhou Ling's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea, Brother Kun, you're so smart."
clever?
Zhao Kun paused for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Don't you even know who your man is? This is nothing. But if I had known your second sister didn't know about this, I wouldn't have let you call her. It was a waste of my phone bill."
"Brother Kun, the phone bill is a small amount. Once we find Big Brother's construction site, we'll go there and cause a scene, forcing him to give me my dowry. It'll be easy to get you a new phone then," Zhou Ling said nonchalantly.
“You’re right. If we can really get the money, we’ll use it to buy a phone. Honey, you just need one,” Zhao Kun said with a smile.
Upon hearing that he was going to buy her a cell phone, Zhou Ling's eyes immediately softened, and she hugged Zhao Kun with great emotion. "Brother Kun, you're so kind. You always think of me. My second sister has one, and I've wanted one for a long time."
"Don't worry, as soon as I get the money, I'll buy it for you."
"Hmm, about following Big Brother..."
"I'll go. You're too easy to expose. If your older brother sees us, he might guess our intentions."
As Zhao Kun spoke, he picked Zhou Ling up and carried her to the bed.
"Oh no, that will hurt the baby."
"I'll be gentle, don't worry. Besides, Dad will go check on our son and see what's wrong."
"You're so bad..."
...
Another day of studying has passed by in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Chen was in a good mood because he had picked up more knowledge and firmly memorized it.
Compared to when I first returned to school, I don't know how much I've improved.
He is increasingly confident in his goal of improving his score by 100 points in the next mock exam.
Even his teachers from all subjects praised him repeatedly.
Aside from the few subjects he was weak in, he focused on improving them, and he didn't neglect his best subjects, Chinese and English.
The Chinese language is something ingrained in the Chinese people. As long as you're not completely stupid, you can generally answer questions quite well. However, to get a high score, you still need to accumulate knowledge and experience.
Fortunately, although Zhou Chen's life in his previous life was not very successful, he had enough life experience and had read a lot of books, which gave him a deep understanding of life. With his mature mind in this life, this experience has been of great help in his writing.
Every time he wrote an essay, his articles were almost always used as model essays by the teacher, read aloud in front of the students, and made so that everyone could learn from them. He was quite the star.
If an advantage in writing is something to be envied,
Therefore, the absolute advantage of English is something to be envied and resented.
In just two weeks, Zhou Chen became the undisputed leader in the class, with no rivals.
Many of the top students in the class humbled themselves and took the initiative to ask him for advice on how to learn English.
Zhou Chen was generous in sharing some of his tips for memorizing words through association.
When this reached the English teacher, the teacher was quite surprised and said that they would study this teaching direction in the future to make it easier for students to accept unfamiliar words and increase their vocabulary.
Of course, these minor incidents only apply to Zhou Chen's class.
The class Zhou Na was in was unaware of this, and Zhou Na herself was also unaware that Zhou Chen's English grades were so good that they inspired envy and jealousy.
The brother and sister maintained a tacit understanding, not disturbing each other or seeing each other.
Even though many people know that Zhou Na's older brother has returned to study, very few people know that Zhou Chen is Zhou Na's older brother.
In addition, Zhou Na was cold-hearted and clearly rejected the matter. Seeing this, her classmates did not provoke her, but instead whispered among themselves.
Home, school, construction site canteen,
Zhou Chen's life revolves around these three points every day, moving between them.
He was unaware that someone had been secretly following him for three whole days.
It was confirmed that the construction site canteen that Zhou Chen contracted was the same place as the construction site where he had been working.
After Zhao Kun told Zhou Ling the news, Zhou Ling was both happy and excited.
"Unfortunately, those workers don't know exactly how much your older brother earns each day by running the canteen."
"But I estimate it must be at least a few hundred yuan. After all, there are quite a few workers, and they eat three meals a day. It must be a few hundred yuan. Your brother is lucky. If the previous person who contracted the canteen hadn't given the leaders food that made them sick, your brother wouldn't have gotten any money at all."
As Zhao Kun spoke, his eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, disdain, and contempt.
If you let him work in the cafeteria, he can do it too.
Um?
etc……
Zhao Kun's heart skipped a beat. The next second, he grabbed Zhou Ling and said excitedly, "Wife, what do you say about having your brother cook for me at the construction site canteen?"
