Chapter 35 Goodwill
In his previous life, Hang Jingshu revolved around the stove, his parents-in-law and children, and Qi Shaoming.
I have done more than I have now, and yet I have not received a single kind word.
Qi Shaoming looked down on himself from the beginning to the end, even though he still gave birth to two children. In addition, Hang Jingshu had three abortions in a small clinic.
This is how the body is destroyed.
After a new life, although he still did the stove job, the Yan family paid him and their attitude was completely different from that of the Qi family.
Only then did Hang Jingshu understand the meaning of the sentence: housewives are not without jobs, but without wages.
His salary was 40 yuan a month before, but now with two more people, Hang Jingshu's salary has increased to 60 yuan a month.
I don’t know how long these two people will stay here, but Hang Jingshu is very happy making money.
The same is Grandma Yan, she is also very happy.
You have to know that her grandson was a skinny baby when he was born. When he grew up, his height jumped to 1.85 meters, but his weight has always been around 120 to 130 kilograms.
Yan follows the research of An enthusiasts, can do nothing but drink coffee a day, has stomach ulcers, and has been hospitalized due to malnutrition.
I don't know how the body absorbs it. Although he is not short, his bones are very brittle.
No one in the family dared to train him too hard. Before, Grandpa Yan forced his grandson to exercise for the sake of his grandson's health, but he ended up dislocating both his arms, and the old man almost cried out of guilt.
The place where Yan Chengan does research is not open to anyone. The people there are all very hardworking and often go to the hospital in groups for intravenous drips.
The Yan couple were far away and could only try their best to make their grandson feel comfortable every time he came back.
Although the previous nanny cooked well, she had many problems.
Some people saw that Yan Chengan was single and brought their daughters over, some tried to enter Yan Chengan's room, and some were not satisfied with the food he cooked.
For various reasons, the Yan family has changed several nannies because of this eldest grandson.
The last one, Aunt Zhou, was the one who lasted the longest.
But this time when he came back, his grandson had a good appetite and was gaining weight.
People eat well and their tempers improve a lot.
How Grandma Yan looks at Hang Jingshu now, how she feels satisfied.
After dinner, Yan Chengan and Gu Zhengguo were both sleepy, so the two brothers went upstairs to sleep.
Grandpa Yan went to the backyard to cook his own dishes, while Grandma Yan sat by the window as usual, listening to opera and reading newspapers.
As I get older, I tend to have trouble falling asleep at night if I take a nap in the afternoon.
Hang Jingshu also continued his studies.
There is a golden house in the book. Hang Jingshu held the book and read it over and over again, and studied every question on the test paper thoroughly.
The more he writes, the sharper his strokes become. It looks round and firm, and one can tell a lot about the person from his writings. Hang Jingshu's handwriting is getting better and better.
"Xiao Hang, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" Grandma Yan asked when she saw Hang Jingshu start to pack up his books.
Hang Jingshu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Grandma Yan would ask him such a question.
Hang Jingshu, who was a housewife in her previous life, is actually a little confused.
All she can do now is to be a nanny, prepare three meals a day, and then bury herself in studying.
The short-term goal is to save money and go to college.
But when it comes to getting into university, Hang Jingshu still has no idea what to study or what major to choose.
Now if you get into university you can be guaranteed a job. But when living conditions improve, there will be college students everywhere and it won’t be worth it anymore.
Seeing Xiaohang fall silent, Grandma Yan smiled and explained: "I don't mean anything else. I know you are a good child. You are still young, and you need to take steady steps in the future."
Hang Jingshu nodded, his eyes a little moist.
"You've been studying for so long, how do you feel about your level?" Grandma Yan asked slowly.
Hang Jingshu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She had done many papers before, but she had no idea about her exact level.
Seeing Hang Jingshu's expression, Grandma Yan understood. She thought for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate to learn by yourself. You have to take the test to know how to learn in the future."
Hang Jing agrees with this point.
Otherwise, why do schools have monthly exams, midterm exams and final exams? The purpose is to let students understand their current learning progress.
Are there any subjects that are biased or missed?
But Hang Jingshu didn't get admitted to the school, so naturally no one came to test her.
Seeing that Hang Jingshu had no intention of resisting, Grandma Yan suggested: "The monthly exam of No. 1 Middle School is over. When they finish reading the papers, I'll ask someone to get a set for you to try."
School starts on September 1st, and now is the time for the monthly exam.
The questions in the first entrance examination should be relatively difficult. The purpose is to give students a sense of shock so that they can concentrate on studying.
"Will it be too much trouble?" Hang Jingshu was a little nervous, worried that Grandma Yan had done too many favors and it would be difficult to repay her in the future.
Grandma Yan waved her hands, "It's just a small matter, and it happened after the exam. Anyone who is interested can get it from the students."
That is true.
The No. 1 Middle School in the city prepares its own test papers, and after they finish the test, other township schools will give them to their students to do.
Yan Chengan had hinted before that he wanted to give Hang Jingshu the test paper from No. 1 Middle School in the city.
But if the girl really does well in the exam, how should she plan for the future?
It’s not that Grandma Yan is selfish. Everyone in the family hasn’t had enough of the little girl’s meal. If she leaves, it will be difficult to find someone like her.
When Hang Jingshu was here, the kitchen was clean, the fruits were pre-cut, and the meals were delicious.
Having spent the first half of her life busy and exhausted, now that she’s old she finally has some free time, but Grandma Yan is reluctant to let go.
Especially since this kind of days has only lasted for a short month and a half.
This time, she also wanted Secretary Hang Jing to remember her friendship and not leave for the time being.
"Grandma..." Hang Jingshu's eyes were filled with more bitterness. He walked over and held those gentle hands. "I will study hard and live up to your help!"
After living my life again, I realized how rare it is to receive kindness from others.
If the Yan family wanted to keep him, they could have made strict demands, but both Yan Chengan and the two elders of the Yan family supported Hang Jingshu very much.
This kindness should be kept in mind forever.
"Silly child, I look at you as if you were my granddaughter. You are so young, of course you should have your own future." Grandma Yan held Hang Jingshu's hand, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
Her eyes seemed to be looking at someone through Hang Jingshu.
Thinking of her daughter who was in her prime in her memory, Grandma Yan was filled with regret.
————
The Yan family's dinner was relatively simple, as the vegetables in the backyard patch were the last harvest.
Hang Jingshu picked a lot of vegetables, which were just enough for dinner.
After blanching the bitter melon, add sesame oil and shrimp to mix cold, then make a plate of dragon eggplant, spicy and sour potato shreds, minced meat and egg custard, and a large bowl of steamed chicken.
The staple food was not only rice, but also a bowl of tomato dumpling soup.
Hang Jingshu was still thinking about other things and didn't eat much for dinner.
