Chapter 64 I Will Take Action
My aunt is a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Her anxiety about her children's future is a normal mother's mentality. Her daughter has already entered junior college, and her son's grades are making her look depressed. It would be strange if she wasn't anxious.
Chen Ci understood her aunt very well, but her cousin's life was actually quite smooth last time. After graduating from the flight attendant major, she successfully joined an airline as a flight attendant. Although it was hard work, it was still decent as her aunt said.
Later, she met her future husband, an ordinary employee of a multinational company, on the plane.
After they got married, the man's career was very successful, he was promoted from an ordinary employee to a regional director. My cousin also gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and she lived a very comfortable life in her husband's family.
My aunt and uncle also benefited from my cousin's kindness, and their lives became better.
My cousin, on the other hand, failed miserably in the college entrance examination as expected, and no one advised him to repeat the exam because everyone knew that he was not cut out for studying.
Later, I went to a technical school and chose animation production as my major. After graduation, I joined an outsourcing production company. I was so busy that I worked late every day. Before I was 30, I was tall and handsome, but I was bald! I also had a beer belly!
He dated several girlfriends, but none of them lasted long because he simply didn't have the extra energy to devote to his partner.
Later, his aunt became so anxious that she started arranging blind dates for him. In the end, he just found a girl at random and got married. Within two years, they divorced due to emotional discord, leaving him with a son who was over one year old.
At this moment, looking at the tall, youthful and beautiful cousin and the energetic, tall and handsome cousin in front of him, Shen Ci couldn't help but feel a little sad.
They grew up together and have a very close relationship. On the one hand, Shen Ci hopes that her cousin can find a good partner and live a happy life like last time, but on the other hand, she doesn't want her cousin to repeat the same mistakes and be crushed by life.
"Aunt, don't worry about this. Even if Sui Sui and Guang Rong don't go to college, they will be successful in the future." Chen Ci looked at her aunt and comforted her.
Shen Jingjing also nodded: "Aci is right, Sui Sui and Guangrong are both good children, and they will have good futures."
Shen Yingying felt a little relieved when her children were praised, but she couldn't help but say, "Sister, you and Ah Ci don't need to comfort me. I've figured it out now. I don't expect them to achieve much. I just want them to have a stable job and be able to support themselves after they graduate from college."
He Bin also nodded and said, "Yes, it's hard to find a job now. Many college graduates can't find a job after graduation."
He Sui and He Guangrong ate silently without saying a word. Whenever this part came up, they would just listen silently and they had long been used to it.
Anyway, they have been the control group in the family since they were young. Whenever people talk about children, others are always praised and they are always scolded.
Fortunately, Shen Ci was considerate and would always take the initiative to comfort her cousins after every incident. This prevented any estrangement between them and made their relationship even closer.
Shen Ci put down her chopsticks, and suddenly looked at her aunt with a serious face and said, "Aunt, no matter whether it is Sui Sui or Guang Rong, I will not ignore them if they encounter difficulties in the future."
"They are still young and may not have plans for the future and feel confused. If they have goals one day, I, as their older sister, will definitely help them."
Originally, she was just nagging and complaining. Shen Yingying didn't expect her niece to suddenly say such words to her, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
After realizing what was happening, she quickly said, "Ah Ci, that's not what I meant. You're still a college student. How could I possibly let you worry about your younger siblings..."
Seeing her aunt’s flustered reaction, Shen Ci smiled and said, “Aunt, I know, but I’m serious.”
Shen Yingying half opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. She just felt a sour feeling in her nose.
She is an emotional person. No matter whether Ah Ci's words will come true in the future, she will feel touched when she hears them now, and will feel that her love for this niece is not in vain.
Seeing this, Shen Jingjing gently patted her sister's hand and said softly: "Children are all kissing, and it's normal for them to hold each other."
Shen Yingying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded gently.
After dinner, Shen Ci took out the gifts she had bought for them.
"Uncle, this is for you."
"Is there mine too? Thank you, Aci." He Bin reached out and took it. It was a new mobile phone!
Shen Ci thought that according to her uncle's personality, he would definitely not be willing to replace his mobile phone after using it for several years, so a new phone would be the most practical.
Naturally, there are more gifts for younger brothers and sisters.
I bought sneakers, a tablet computer, a PSP, etc. for Guangrong, all of which boys like.
I bought bags, perfumes, and a full set of new digital devices for Sui Sui.
"Thank you, sister. Oh my God, these must cost several dollars in total!" Sui Sui was touched and felt sorry for her sister's money.
Chen Ci smiled and said, "Don't worry about the money. Just tell me if you need anything in the future."
Sui Sui nodded vigorously while holding the first authentic Chanel bag in her life.
Guangrong leaned forward and whispered, "Sister, then I want to study abroad."
"What?"
He Sui exclaimed in surprise, and then couldn't help laughing: "With your grades, no foreign fake university would accept you."
"But I'm good at English!" Guangrong glared and said proudly, "Maybe my English is better than mine."
"Just forget it." Sui Sui rolled her eyes and turned to look at Chen Ci and said, "Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. He's been watching too many American dramas and is hallucinating."
Because my uncle-in-law is from the north, my cousins and even my aunt usually speak with a northern accent, which sounds particularly interesting.
"You don't understand anything, I won't tell you." Guangrong also looked at Chen Ci and grinned: "Sister, aren't there many people going abroad to gild themselves now? Get a foreign diploma, and when they come back they can say they are a returned overseas student."
Chen Ci smiled when he heard this: "You should watch less Douyin. With your grades, you still want to study abroad. Where to go? Africa is a possibility."
"Pfft..." He Sui couldn't help laughing when she heard that.
It might be useless for his sister to confront him, but Shen Ci's confrontation with him made him wilt instantly.
Seeing this, Chen Ci said, "I'm going to give you some serious advice. With your talent for studying, don't even think about using a diploma to realize your self-worth. It's useless!"
No matter how rich I am, I can't change the fact that my cousin has no talent in learning.
In many foreign universities, you can buy a degree with money, but what’s the point?
A diploma from a third-rate foreign university is just an empty shell, full of rotten stuff inside, and it's just a waste of your life and time.
"Find the direction of your life. Think about what you want to do, then tell me. I will take action when the time comes."
