Chapter 929: A Trip to Beidu (14)

"Dad, can you tell me about your trip to Fuzhou?" Duan Xin asked.

Duan Qirui looked at him suspiciously: "Why would you know this?"

Duan Xin pursed his lips. He was not sure and did not rush to answer. He just said: "I am curious. Does uncle really have a child? Is he older or younger than me?"

Duan Qirui thought about the information he had seen and said: "Younger than you."

"Did you see him?"

Duan Qirui's eyes flashed, but he did not answer his question. Instead, he said: "Why do you care so much about children? Go to bed early." After saying that, he turned around and went into the room a few meters away.

Because of his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, the second master of the Duan family's bathroom and rest area were not together, and his room was absolutely not allowed to be entered before taking a shower.

Knowing how serious Duan Qirui's obsession was, Duan Xin did not follow him in even though he did not get the answer he wanted. He could only go up to the third floor to sleep with a heavy heart.

The next morning, when Duan Xin got up, Grandpa Duan was already sitting at the dining table downstairs eating breakfast. Duan Xin walked down and called him Grandpa obediently.

Grandpa Duan glanced at him, thought of something, put down the newspaper in his hand, and asked, "How are your grades now? Have you hired the tutor your dad said he would hire last time?"

Duan Xin's face flashed with embarrassment. He was good at everything, good-looking, and good at playing basketball, but his grades were not good. Maybe he was not born to be a student. He felt a headache when he saw those things.

Duan Xin was vague and didn't know how to answer. Master Duan understood what he meant. A flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he finally calmed down.

Because the second master of the Duan family had divorced a long time ago, Duan Qirui had never moved out of the old house in these years, and Duan Xin was also watched by Master Duan.

Duan Xin is now in a playful mood, and he doesn't like to face the stern grandfather. He grabbed two cakes and ran out with his schoolbag.

He is already fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is still so unreliable. Master Duan's eyelids twitched and his face became even uglier.

The housekeeper standing next to him whispered to comfort him: "Grandpa, the young master is still young, he will be fine when he grows up."

Grandpa Duan didn't say anything, just shook his head. He knew that even if Duan Xin grew up, he might not be able to support the entire Duan family.

Thinking of his eldest son who was still lying in the hospital and might leave at any time, and thinking about the Duan family that might decline because of this, Grandpa Duan couldn't help but feel anxious.

----

When Duan Xin arrived at school, he used to play basketball to warm up, but today he didn't, but climbed upstairs. He is fourteen years old and in the first grade of junior high school.

Because someone came to their school to take an exam today, the second grade of junior high school had a half-day holiday, but other grades still had to go to class as usual.

It was past eight in the morning, and the exam was at nine, which was more than half an hour away. However, in order not to delay the exam, the candidates had already entered the examination room one after another, and Xu Xu and his group also arrived before half past eight.

There were eight classrooms on the first floor of the second grade, and there were teachers guarding both ends. Duan Xin couldn't go up, so he could only wait at the corner.

When he saw Xu Xu coming with other students, he immediately walked up and shouted to Xu Xu, "Hello, classmate."

Upon hearing the voice, the group looked over.

The teacher in charge looked at Duan Xin, who was obviously a student of this school, turned around and asked, "Xu Xu, do you know this classmate?"
