So Grandpa Jia wanted to investigate it thoroughly, but before he could take any action, he found out that his grandson's drastic change was entirely due to that little girl Liang Yiyi. And it wasn't just his grandson, he heard that the children they were with had all started to work hard.
Of course the old man was happy to see this happen.
Who doesn't hope that their descendants will have a bright future? Who doesn't hope that they will have successors?
Therefore, when the old men got together, they also discussed that if they had the chance, they would thank Liang Yiyi in person.
Although two generations of the Jia family are soldiers and hold high positions, their family background is not that rich, especially compared to the Liang family. However, Jia Dongsheng's expenses from childhood to adulthood are no less than those of other families. This shows how much the old man loves him.
Thinking of something, Jia Dongsheng straightened up and said, "Grandpa, I have something I want to talk to you about."
How could Grandpa Jia, who had raised his grandson from childhood, not know his temperament and character? He knew from his expression that what his grandson was about to say must be very important, so Grandpa Jia said seriously, "Okay, tell me what you want to say."
"Grandpa, you know I came back today to apply for college. Originally, I wanted to be a national defense student like Liu Wenliang and others, and become a general like you in the future to bring honor to our family. But I changed my mind. I don't want to be a soldier. I want to study finance, so this time I want to apply to Peking University." No matter how smart a child is, he will inevitably feel a little nervous at this moment.
"Oh, why did you suddenly change your mind? Are you afraid of hardship? Or do you not like being a soldier?" The old man's voice was not loud, and very calm, without any emotion visible.
"You don't know, although our time in the army was short this time, the recent wilderness survival competition made me see myself clearly. I feel that the army is not suitable for me. I want to start my own company in the future. Business is what I should do."
"Oh? What happened during the game?" the old man asked curiously.
Jia Dongsheng recounted Liang Yiyi's actions. "I'm not one to give up easily, but after observing Liang Yiyi for a few days, I know I need five years to reach her level of skill. If I do, I'll have to be the best. But it's clear that no matter how hard I try, as long as Yiyi is around, I can't expect to surpass her. So I want to find a new path and strive to become my strongest. I can't be inferior to a girl, can I?"
She can hear sounds three or four hundred meters away, her shooting skills are always accurate, she can defeat the enemy with one move with her bare hands, and she can find living things in the mountains at any time... These things don't sound like something that Yi Yi can do!
But the person who said this was his grandson, so he had to believe it!
"Just because Liang Yiyi is more capable than you, you gave up going to military school. This is a bit unreasonable, right? Are you jealous of her?" Old Master Jia asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"Jealous? How could that be? I just feel like this path isn't suitable for me. Of course, I don't want to lag behind a girl in everything. It makes me feel useless. And with my brain, it's not difficult for me to make a career."
Jia Dongsheng's last words sounded a bit conceited, but his grandfather agreed with them very much.
This is not Grandpa Jia praising his grandson, but Jia Dongsheng has indeed been smart since he was a child, and he is also a bit sinister, commonly known as a mean-spirited person.
No matter how big or small the family members are, as long as you don’t provoke them, you will be safe. But once someone is blind and makes him unhappy, then you can just wait for his revenge!
When the boy was eleven years old, his uncle Liu Wenyuan brought his family to visit the Jia family.
At that time, Jia Yonghuai had not been home for two years. When his brother heard that the couple had returned from the military region to celebrate the New Year, he could not sit still and came over with his wife and children.
Liu Wenyuan was working in a small company at the time. His wife was a middle school teacher and their family conditions were average.
His son Liu Chao is four years older than Jia Dongsheng. They have a good relationship. Liu Chao is like an older brother and is good at taking care of Jia Dongsheng.
Usually when Liu Wenyuan came, the two brothers would play with toys at home, or Dongsheng would take his cousin to play with Liu Wenliang and Yiyi.
But it happened that day.
The children, feeling that Chinese New Year was approaching, decided to go shopping at a nearby mall. They had reported the trip to their parents in advance, and Grandpa Liang had the family driver accompany them. After all, the children were still young, with the oldest, Liu Chao, only fifteen, and it was reassuring to have an adult around.
There were a lot of people in the mall, and we didn't have any particular destination, so we just walked around the floors casually. If we saw some new and interesting gadgets, we would buy a few to keep for fun.
After walking around for more than an hour, they happened to come to the clothing area. Jia Dongsheng felt that his cousin was very nice to him. When he just came out, his grandfather gave him a card and told him to treat his cousin well. He planned to buy a suitable piece of clothing for Liu Chao as a New Year's gift to him.
After visiting two or three stores in a row, he finally found a light blue three-piece suit. Liu Chao was handsome, and the color suited him well. The style was novel and the price was not expensive, 2,180 yuan.
After much persuasion, Liu Chao was finally persuaded to try on clothes. However, as soon as he came out of the fitting room, he was insulted.
"Oh, Mingfang, look, isn't this Liu Chao, the poor boy in our class? It looks like he's made a fortune today and is here to buy clothes. If I remember correctly, this is a brand store. With their family's financial situation, if they really want to buy two sets of clothes, they probably won't be able to celebrate the New Year this year." A girl in a red mink coat and with a beautiful princess hairstyle shouted loudly.
Next to her stood a shy little girl, probably the Mingfang he was talking about. "Qian Rui, why don't we celebrate the New Year if we just buy two sets of clothes?"
"Because all the money has been spent, it's more realistic to just wait and starve." After saying this, the girl named Qian Rui laughed.
The two of them sang in unison, and their voices were quite loud, which immediately attracted the attention of many parents and children.
Liu Chao was fifteen at the time. Although still a child, he was quite sensible and steady. He had originally objected to his younger cousin buying him clothes. First, they were too expensive. He usually wore common goods, and a set of clothes costing over two thousand yuan would have seemed out of place to him. Second, as an older brother, it was unreasonable for him to spend his younger brother's money.
He was just about to say that the clothes were not suitable and asked his cousin not to buy them when he heard the voices of the two female classmates. His face turned pale with anger.
Jia Dongsheng would never stand up to someone bullying his cousin. Furthermore, what these two girls said was too harsh. How could Jia Dongsheng calm down if he didn't teach them a lesson?
So he winked at his friend.
