Most parents would be touched when they heard that their children sponsored them, but Comrade Lao Du's thinking was obviously unusual, and he asked Du Chen directly.
"Second brother, you have royalties. How much is your brother's royalty for his illustrations?"
Listening to Comrade Lao Du's question, Du Chen stared at Comrade Lao Du with wide eyes, then looked at his brother Du Bin, his eyes revealing his shame towards Du Bin.
Seeing Du Chen glance at Du Bin, Comrade Du felt a little embarrassed and argued to Du Chen in a weak voice.
"Second brother, I'm just worried that your brother will spend money recklessly. You know your brother spends money lavishly!"
At the beginning, Comrade Lao Du's tone was a little embarrassed, but at the end, Comrade Lao Du's tone was quite firm, and it was obvious that he had brainwashed himself.
"Dad, my brother is already that old! Besides, it costs a lot of money to buy things for Sister Miaomiao!"
"What does this have to do with your sister Miaomiao?"
"Why is it none of Sister Miaomiao's business? My brother and Sister Miaomiao go to and from school together every day. Sometimes they have to buy some stationery and snacks. My brother doesn't have a penny in his hand and asks Sister Miaomiao for money?"
Du Chen spoke to Comrade Lao Du with confidence.
"That makes sense. Your brother needs to have some money."
Comrade Lao Du nodded in agreement. After all, Ding Miaomiao was his chosen daughter-in-law. He couldn't let Ding Miaomiao spend money to treat Du Bin. If Lao Ding found out, he would not forgive him.
"Besides, who in this room, except my brother and Sister Miaomiao, knows about the little tricks you and my mom are using? So my brother must have some money!"
Du Chen no longer hid his thoughts, and almost shouted out Comrade Lao Du and Ren Surong's little thoughts with a loud speaker. Ding Miaomiao didn't know that it was Lao Du and his wife who restrained themselves in front of Ding Miaomiao. Du Bin didn't know because he was simply stupid.
Besides, who could tell if Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao really didn't know, or were just playing dumb? So Du Chen scoffed at Lao Du's question. If he hadn't been afraid of getting beaten up, Du Chen would have just used his taunting skill.
"Dad, what you and Mom are saying is so obvious, do you think Uncle Ding and Aunt Xiaojia can't see it?"
Du Chen said to Comrade Lao Du with a smile.
"Is it really that obvious?"
Comrade Lao Du looked at Du Chen suspiciously.
"It's really that obvious!"
Du Chen's answer was firm and decisive.
"Do you really know what it means? Why don't you tell me quietly and let me see if you are right!"
Comrade Lao Du was still skeptical. He felt that his acting skills were usually pretty good, so his performance shouldn't be that obvious.
"Hey, why don't you believe it? You just want Sister Miaomiao to be my sister-in-law!"
Du Chen had no choice but to look at Comrade Lao Du who was feeling good about himself and whispered in his ear.
"You guessed it right! Second brother! But you're so young? How do you know everything? I just wanted to ask what books you read every day? You should work harder and try to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University in the future!"
"Dad, it's a bit difficult to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. I'll try my best to get into a first-tier university!"
Du Chen calmly changed the subject.
"Du Bin, Miao Miao, it's almost time, it's time to go home and rest. If you want to watch it, wait until tomorrow!"
Just as Comrade Lao Du and Comrade Xiao Du were whispering to each other, Ren Surong spoke up. They had been staring at the moon since the evening self-study class and had not studied at all. Besides, it was getting late and it was almost time for them to go back and rest.
"Mom, I'll show you for a little while longer, just ten minutes!"
Du Bin was bargaining with his mother. He hadn't seen enough. During this period of time, it was basically Ding Miaomiao playing with the astronomical telescope, and he didn't touch it many times.
Ren Surong didn't say a word, but just glared at Du Bin. Du Bin immediately gave up and obediently packed up his things, preparing to close the store and go home.
"Chenchen, why does it always feel like I'm looking through water when I look through a telescope?"
On the way home, Ding Miaomiao remembered the phenomenon she had just seen on the moon and asked Du Chen curiously.
"Sister Miaomiao, that's caused by atmospheric air flow."
Du Chen briefly explained it to Ding Miaomiao.
"Oh, it's like looking at the road in the summer and feeling the steam in the air, right?"
Ding Miaomiao immediately thought of the big road in summer.
"Let's go home, I'm sleepy!"
Since Du Chen's rebirth, his sleep quality has improved a lot, apart from other things. He falls asleep at a certain time every day and sleeps until dawn.
…
"Du Chen, have you watched TV these past two days?"
After the first class, Zhao Pengfei went to chat with Du Chen again.
"I didn't see it, what's wrong?"
Du Chen was a little confused. What had been on TV these past two days? Why did Zhao Pengfei specifically ask him if he had watched TV?
"Oh, what a pity! Go home and watch Phoenix TV tonight. There's a really good TV series going on recently!"
"Phoenix TV..."
Du Chen thought about it and suddenly thought of a TV series, so he asked Zhao Pengfei.
"Are you talking about 'My Date with a Vampire'?"
"That's right, you've seen it, right? It's really good, right?"
Zhao Pengfei spoke to Du Chen excitedly, and Zhao Pengfei's deskmate Li Qiang heard their conversation and joined in.
"What are you two talking about? What TV show is particularly good?"
"Li Qiang, let me tell you, every night at nine o'clock, Phoenix TV broadcasts 'My Date with a Vampire'. It's really interesting! It's really good!"
When Zhao Pengfei heard that Li Qiang was interested, he immediately recommended it to Li Qiang, hoping that Li Qiang could watch it every night.
"Huh? It doesn't air until 9pm. My parents definitely won't let me watch it!"
Li Qiang was quite interested at first, but when he heard it was so late, he was immediately discouraged. His parents would definitely not let him watch it so late.
"Zhao Pengfei, your parents don't care if you watch TV?"
Du Chen also asked Zhao Pengfei curiously. He himself had so much freedom, but he didn't say that he could watch TV so late at night.
"Hey, I usually stay at my grandpa's house. My grandpa goes to bed early, so I watch TV quietly at night!"
Zhao Pengfei said proudly to Du Chen and Li Qiang.
"Then your grandfather can hear it too, right?"
Li Qiang was a little confused. Even if the old man went to bed early, he should have been able to find out that Zhao Pengfei was secretly watching TV.
"No, they can't find it. My grandpa's house is small, and the TV is in the big room. The desk is also in the big room, so I usually live in the big room, and my grandparents sleep in the small room. Once the doors of the two rooms are closed and the TV volume is turned down, they definitely won't find it!"
Zhao Pengfei was as proud as a peacock with its tail spread out, while Li Qiang looked at Zhao Pengfei with envy, thinking that Zhao Pengfei's life was so good that he could even watch TV at will.
Du Chen also looked at Zhao Pengfei with sympathy. This silly boy, the midterm exam is coming soon. I wonder if Zhao Pengfei will be able to smile so happily then!
