Chapter 39 Cousin from far away?



Just when Jian Yunxi was still feeling lucky that nothing had happened recently, his father announced a piece of important information at the dinner table, saying that a distant relative was coming to live at home.

Jian Yunxi and her younger brother and sister were all confused. Jian Yunxi couldn't remember whether this incident had happened in her previous life.

Jiang Mu is said to be the grandson of Jian Yunxi's grandmother's cousin. He grew up in Wuhan. His father is a designer at the Railway Bureau and his mother is a full-time homemaker. The couple had a very good relationship before, but as Jiang Mu's father became busier and busier at work, he spent more time on business trips than at home.

Jiang Mu's mother got pregnant unexpectedly at that time. After heavy bleeding, she said it was an ectopic pregnancy. Since then, Jiang Mu's mother's temper has become strange. Recently, the couple has been on the verge of divorce.

Jiang Mu was originally registered here, so he had to go back to his place of residence to take the college entrance examination. But when he saw that his parents were making a big fuss, he asked to come back early.

However, he has no immediate relatives here, and Comrade Jian Feng is warm-hearted. Before Jiang Mu's family moved to Wuhan, Ms. Li Meiling had a very good relationship with Jiang Mu's mother. After discussing it, the couple decided to let Jiang Mu live directly at home.

"It's fine with me. He doesn't live with me anyway." Jian Yun smiled and didn't care. She didn't spend much time at home due to classes, so she didn't have much interaction with this distant cousin.

Jian Yunfang saw that everyone was staring at him, so he shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. My bed is big anyway. It's fine as long as my cousin doesn't mind me."

Jian Feng asked Jian Yunxi again, "Xixi, what do you think?"

Jian Yunxi swallowed the last bite of food in her mouth. Of course, she had no objection.

"Mom and Dad, my cousin came all the way here and he didn't have any thoughts, so I definitely don't have any thoughts either."

"Besides, his grades are so good, I can ask him for help with math problems later."

Jian Yunxi heard that Jiang Mu would go straight into Class 1 after returning. It was said that the textbooks in Wuhan and at home were different, and the college entrance examination papers were not the same. She didn't know if Jiang Mu could adapt after coming here.

Although she said it was okay, there was one more person in the family after all. Ms. Li Meiling also bought the necessary items for Jiang Mu, and she hadn't seen the child for a long time.

Jian Yunxi finally met this legendary distant cousin the day before the third mock exam.

"You must be my cousin Yunxi, right? When we were little, you followed me around and called me brother every day."

Jian Yunxi looked at the carefree cousin in front of her, and her forehead was full of black lines. Is this talking about her? How is it possible?

"Xixi, Xiaoxiao, call someone quickly."

"Hello uncle, hello brother."

Jiang Mu was sent back by his father. Jian Yunxi felt that his cheap cousin looked similar to his uncle, but his uncle was handsome and elegant. But this cousin?

Although he has handsome facial features and is quite tall, his temperament is hard to describe.

She could obviously win with her looks, but she insisted on standing in a shabby manner, looking lazy and casual.

"Jiang Mu, the school said that we will have three mock tests tomorrow. You have to take this test as well. Just treat it as a test of your basics."

Jiang Mu just replied lazily, "I know."

"Cousin, are you going to the evening self-study class tonight? Go there in advance to familiarize yourself with the place." Jian Yunxi was quite worried about this cousin.

"It's okay. It's just an exam. How can it stump me? I won't say any more. I'm going to get some sleep first." After saying that, he waved his hand casually.

Jiang Mu's father's face was also embarrassed, "This child has been spoiled by his mother."

In fact, Jian Yunxi felt that this was not right. Educating children is clearly the common responsibility of both parents. One cannot easily deny Jiang Mu’s contribution to the family just because her mother is a housewife.

Jian Yunxi suddenly disliked this uncle no longer.

Originally, she didn't have to go home today, but Jian Yun had a basketball game, and her sister couldn't handle her books by herself, so she had to move the books back with her sister.

Comrade Jian Feng said that he wanted to welcome Jiang Mu's father, but Jian Yunxi didn't want to join in the fun, and Jian Yunxiao would not go either. The two sisters went to a cold noodle shop and each had a bowl of cold noodles.

"Sister, I think that cousin is weird. Look at the way he treats his dad. Anyway, I won't talk to my dad like that."

"We don't know much about their family affairs. Maybe this is how they get along with each other on a daily basis." Anyway, Jian Yunxi also believed in her heart that Jiang Mu was a tactless person.

Jian Yunxi had a cold face, as if someone owed her millions. How could she not be angry? She was now riding an electric scooter with a 1.8-meter-tall tall man on the back.

Jian Yunxi was completely convinced. He didn't expect that this distant cousin, who was so tall and strong, couldn't ride a bike, whether it was an electric bike or a bicycle.

When Comrade Jian Feng said, "It's okay. Xixi and Jiang Mu are both in their third year of high school. Let Xixi give Jiang Mu a ride. This way, the two siblings can still keep each other company."

What a useless companion! Jian Yunxi was so angry that she wanted to curse. She had been a loner since high school, and the key point was that her cousin looked like an old man.

"Cousin, you're riding too slowly. Other people riding bicycles are faster than you." Jiang Mu was sitting on the back seat of Jian Yunxi and still had to give Jiang Shan some advice.

"If you have the ability, then ride it. Why are you just making sarcastic remarks? It's shameful that an adult like you can't even ride a bicycle."

Jian Yunxi couldn't help but confront him, but the other person just acted as if he didn't care.

"Why should I learn to ride a bike? My mom has always driven me since I was a child. There's no need."

Jian Yunxi almost lost his temper when he heard what the young master said. Forget it, I can't argue with him and don't let it affect my mood for the exam.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the exam, otherwise the news that Jian Yunxi picked up a boy on her bike would have spread everywhere.

After entering the school, Jiang Mu pretended not to know Jian Yunxi. Jian Yunxi was happy for that, as she also didn't want her classmates to know that she had such a cousin.

When taking the math test, Jian Yunxi thought of Jiang Mu's hateful face as the math questions she didn't know. She wanted to fill up the answer sheet. Just thinking about it made her feel relieved.

After the first day of exams, Jian Yunxi did not attend evening self-study because Jiang Mu's father insisted on treating their family to dinner.

"Jiang Mu, you must listen to your uncle and aunt. Your dad will come back to see you after you take the college entrance examination."

Jiang Mu was very impatient, "Don't come back. I could have gotten a high score in the college entrance examination, but you scared me into getting 0 points."

"You!" Jiang Mu's father was about to get angry, but was held back by Comrade Jian Feng.

Comrade Jian Feng raised his glass and said, "Brother, don't worry, Jiang Mu is at my house. He is like my own child."

Jian Yunxi really couldn't eat this meal. Jiang Mu stopped acting nonchalantly and looked gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jian Yunxiao and Jian Yunfang kept eating without even raising their heads.

Jian Yunxi saw Jiang Mu went out for a while and his face looked even uglier when he came back.

After dinner, Jiang Mu's father took the night train back to Wuhan. Jiang Mu did not see him off and went straight into the house to sleep.

Ms. Li Meiling and Comrade Jian Feng looked at each other and sighed again, "Xixi, Jiang Mu's situation is a bit complicated now. I am sorry for putting my precious daughter in such a difficult situation."

As long as he doesn't act sarcastic, Jian Yunxi's request is simple.
