Lu Zixiao stared at the string of numbers and those words for a long time, feeling mixed emotions.
In the past few years, he has played the roles of both father and mother, raising his younger brothers with all his heart and supporting their every choice and dream.
Although he sometimes feels very tired and exhausted, it is all voluntary. When he sees his younger brothers grow or achieve their goals, he is the proudest and happiest one.
But he never asked for anything in return. He never even thought about it, let alone calculated how much money he had spent on his younger brothers over the years, because he never thought about asking them to pay him back.
To be honest, he was a little surprised by the amount of Lu Jiayang's transfer, and the words in the note also made him feel warm in his heart.
But Lu Zixiao thought about it and called him anyway.
"Hello? Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Jiayang" Lu Zixiao paused, "Are you busy now? Or are you resting?"
"I'm having a midnight snack with Brother Qingyue," Lu Jiayang said with a smile, "I ordered a barbecue pizza. We'll be resting after we finish eating."
Lu Zixiao hummed: "Don't eat too much, your stomach is not very good, it is easy to have indigestion."
"Okay, I know," Lu Jiayang responded and asked, "Brother, did you receive the money?"
"Got it," Lu Zixiao said softly, "I was just about to tell you about this."
"You transferred so much money to us, how much do you have left?"
"Don't worry, big brother. I'm sure it'll be enough for me," Lu Jiayang consoled him. "Our group has taken on quite a few jobs recently, and I've made quite a bit of money. The money I gave to Xiaobao and the others will be enough for their pocket money for a while. You can keep the money I gave you to supplement your household expenses..."
"We don't need your help at home. I have money here," Lu Zixiao said. "You're so far away from home, we can't take care of you. You spend a lot of money when you're away from home, so keep some for yourself. Got it?"
"I know..." Lu Jiayang's voice weakened. "I will take good care of myself, but it is my duty to repay you."
Lu Zixiao said softly: "Brother, I understand your intentions. I will accept it this time. Don't give so many in the future."
"That's not necessarily true. It depends on my mood," Lu Jiayang said in a rogue manner.
"Stinky brat," Lu Zixiao cursed with a smile, then hesitantly asked, "Jiayang, during the New Year, you..."
"I'm going home!" Lu Jiayang interrupted him with a smile, "Brother, I'm going home for the New Year."
"Okay," Lu Zixiao smiled, "I'll make you something delicious then."
"Yeah," Lu Jiaming responded cheerfully and then hung up the phone.
This year's Spring Festival is later, around mid-February, which is about a month away.
At the beginning of the winter vacation, Lu Ziyi made a new study plan for Lu Yuxuan, hoping to improve his grades as much as possible.
Although they did not force Lu Yuxuan to become a top student, he still had to move forward a little bit. It was not a good thing to always stay at the end of the class.
"Brother, are you really going to send me to cram school?" Lu Yuxuan said with a sad face, "Can you really bear it?"
Lu Ziyi couldn't help but laugh: "Sending you to tutoring is not sending you to the battlefield, why should I be reluctant?"
"I can't go, second brother!" Lu Yuxuan's head was shaking like a rattle. "If I go, I'm doomed!"
Xiao Bao was confused and asked him with a puzzled look: "Fifth brother, why do you say that?"
Lu Yuxuan collapsed on the bed, tucked the pillow under his head, and muttered, "Because when I think about going to class, I get a headache, stomachache, handache, legache, footache, heartache, and kidneyache..."
"Wow..." Xiaobao was stunned, "Is it so magical?"
Then the little guy immediately turned his head to look at Lu Ziyi and said seriously: "Second brother, this is not going to the battlefield, Fifth brother is going straight to the hospital"
"Xiaobao, don't listen to his nonsense." Lu Ziyi held his forehead, "He simply doesn't like studying and is making up stories."
Lu Yuxuan sighed deeply, and before he was about to be suffocated by the pillow, he stuck his head out and said breathlessly, "Xiaobao, have you noticed that there are two of me in bed right now?"
Xiaobao: “!!!”
How did this suddenly turn into a horror movie?!
Then he heard Lu Yuxuan continue to mutter: "The left side of the bed is me, and the right side is also me"
“Because I’m torn apart”
Xiaobao & Lu Ziyi: “…………”
It's so worrying.
At this time, Lu Jiaming walked in from the living room and asked, "Second brother, didn't you say you would teach Yuxuan during the holidays? Why did you suddenly decide to send him to cram school?"
"I have the will but not the ability," Lu Ziyi sighed. "Although I know all the questions now and have almost finished my studies, I should have no problem taking the college entrance exam..."
"...No Versailles allowed, second brother," Lu Jiaming interrupted him blankly.
Lu Ziyi smiled and said, "But I am still a senior high school student after all. I have to do the holiday homework assigned by the teacher, and I have to practice the extra difficult questions. I also have to spend time with A Feng when I have time."
"So I think if I teach him, not only will the time be short, but the effect won't be significant either. It's better to enroll him in a class."
"But Fifth Brother has been studying in school for so long and it's all useless. Will it be useful if he takes classes?" Xiao Bao looked at Lu Ziyi eagerly with an innocent expression.
Lu Yuxuan buried his face in the pillow again, feeling heartbroken!
"This time, my brother and I discussed and chose a different cram school," Lu Ziyi said. "This teacher is really good. He taught at Renmin University for many years. I don't know why he resigned, but his cram school has always been quite famous."
