A few days later, Li Xiu brought Zhao Baoshan over.
"Mom and Dad, our Baoshan was admitted to a key high school in the city! I have to live with you for the second half of the year!" Xian had been thinking of living with his eldest brother, but now that his parents have their own house, it would definitely be more convenient for him to live here.
Li Xiu arrived early while Li Mei and the others had not yet gone to work. "Congratulations to my nephew! It is so difficult to get into this key high school! One foot is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of university!" It is very difficult to get into high school and university nowadays.
The old lady and the old man also hurried out to greet him. This might be the second college student in their family. The first one was now in a semi-disabled state.
"Baoshan's team performed well. They ranked first in their grade and tenth in the city," Li Xiu said proudly.
"This child's grades are even better than Xingguo's back then. He will definitely be admitted to a university! Don't worry about living here. Let your grandma take care of him. Look how thin this child is." The old man saw that the child was so thin that there was no meat on his body. He thought this girl was too stingy.
"I ask grandpa for everything I eat," Baoshan said shyly.
Zhao Na ran over and hugged her brother, "Baoshan, you are really promising. I will rely on you from now on!"
"You are so old, but you still don't have a good wife. Your brother still has to go to high school and college. How can you rely on him? Work hard on your own!" Li Xiuke knew that the girl and her nephew earned a lot of money.
"Little brother, the food we eat at grandma's house will surely make you stronger over time." Zhao Na is now fair and tender, and has gained a lot of weight. She is no longer as skinny as she was when she first came.
"You talk as if I abused you at home," Li Xiu scolded with a smile.
Zhao Na pouted and said, "Mom, the cornmeal cakes are limited. If we didn't know that you are my biological mother, we would have thought that you were deliberately torturing us and not letting us eat enough."
She has heard a lot of stories about stepmothers recently.
Li Xiu... this child is getting more and more greedy. "How much is considered too much? If you are not hungry, then that's fine. When we were young, we went hungry for nine meals out of three days. Now that we have more days, we are still not satisfied."
The old lady sighed, "You were hungry when you were a child, who can compare with you when you were a child? This girl is just so good at living, she won't listen to anyone's advice, but her children are all good."
Li Xiu went to tell his elder brother the good news again. Li Mancang was also very happy. It was a great thing for the child to have a promising future. Their Li family had only Li Xingguo, a good student, and he was spoiled by them.
"Give the child more nutrition. Look how thin he is." Li Mancang looked at his sister disapprovingly.
Li Xiu smiled dryly, they all worked in the fields to make a living, it couldn't compare with the people in the city, as long as they were not hungry, it was just a hard life.
"Let Baoshan stay in the city during the summer vacation to get familiar with the environment and prepare for his homework. If he doesn't understand something, I will take him to Tian Lang." Tian Lang is a university teacher and Li Mancang thinks is the most educated child.
Li Xiu was pleased, "Brother, thank you for your help! Baoshan thanks you, uncle!"
"Why are you being so polite? He's my nephew!" Li Mancang said dissatisfiedly.
"Uncle, thank you. I will definitely study hard!" Baoshan's face flushed. With the guidance of a university teacher, his grades will definitely be improved.
"Don't learn to be polite from your mother. You are destined to be a man. If your third brother wasn't engaged, I wouldn't bother to talk to him." Li Mancang was telling the truth.
The mother and son happily went to the old lady and told her about this.
"Your eldest brother was incompetent before, and no one cared about his ungrateful son. Now that he is older, he has helped the second son a lot, and he is also concerned about Li Mei's affairs. Qingqing has also taught Zhao Na a lot in the shop, and Baoshan immediately thought of the Tian family. This eldest brother has done a good job. If we are not around in the future, you will all have to listen to your eldest brother!"
The old lady felt very relieved. Although her children did not achieve much, they all helped each other, which was good enough.
