Hua Zhian: "Stop talking, I've run into some people I don't want to see."
He didn't want to talk about these unhappy things at home, so he asked directly, "Little sister, do you think my grades are good enough to go to school in Beijing?"
Right now, his grades are at the very bottom, and he's the one with the least confidence.
Hua Xiangyun carefully examined his face. Although it was somewhat blurry, the general situation seemed to be good. "Compared to those who didn't pass the exam, Second Brother, we're already lucky enough."
Besides, your grades aren't bad; they're above average. Think of it this way: if you can't go to school, then no one else can.
As for anything else, who dares to guarantee it for you? Hua Xiangyun silently shook her head in her heart. Hua Zhian was still not as steady as her older brother.
If this had happened to my older brother, he wouldn't have asked that question at all.
There will be heartache, but I will also calm down and wait patiently.
Xie Lanqiao was grateful to her favored sister-in-law, even though she had been a good student in her small town.
Compared to the children in the city, there is still a big gap. If it weren't for her selfless contribution of the materials and her help in explaining the questions, they might not have been able to pass the exam this time.
She sent a telegram home, and her family was very surprised. Some people from their village had also taken the exam, and some of them, who usually did better than her, all failed.
So as soon as the news of her passing the exam spread, her former classmates asked her family for her address and sent her a telegram.
Ultimately, it all boils down to wanting some of their family's information.
Even if Xie Lanqiao wanted to help, she knew perfectly well that these things did not belong to them; they were all found by her sister-in-law, and they had no say in the matter.
Besides, there are many smart people like her. Today, I originally wanted to take her out to meet up with her classmates and get some peace and quiet, but I didn't expect that we couldn't avoid her no matter where we went. She kept coming up to us in roundabout ways.
If she hadn't stopped him, Zhi'an might have agreed just to save face.
Because of her interference, Zhi'an lost face in front of his classmates, so they didn't stay any longer and headed back with her.
On the way back, he didn't utter a single word, expressing his dissatisfaction with himself in this way.
But Xie Lanqiao didn't regret it. This wasn't theirs to begin with, so how could she agree to it?
Seeing that Hua Zhian didn't speak anymore, Hua Xiangyun quietly poked at the fire in front of her, hoping that the fire would burn brighter so that the cold would be dispelled from their bodies.
Hua Zhian looked at Hua Xiangyun and finally couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, what are you going to do with all those documents in our house?"
Hua Guangzong frowned at him. "Why are you asking this? Didn't I tell you before? This matter is naturally decided by your grandmother and me."
Hua Zhian, "...This is because someone asked me directly..."
"That has nothing to do with you. You can tell them directly that these documents are not yours, and they can't ask you for them." What's the point of laying this matter out in front of Xiangyun now?
Do you really think they're old and senile and can't tell the difference?
Or did he think his sister was too shy to go against his wishes?
Regardless of his intentions, Hua Guangzong was somewhat angered.
Hua Zhian hadn't realized what he'd done wrong when Xie Lanqiao quickly tugged at his sleeve, saying he really didn't know how to read the room.
Fortunately, he wasn't completely stupid. Hua Zhian realized what was going on and immediately put on a smile, saying, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to remind my little sister to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible. It's annoying to hear her asking about it all the time, isn't it?"
"Send it away? To whom?" Tian Guihua glared at him coldly. Hua Zhian immediately tensed up. Grandpa would only scold them, but Grandma would actually hit them... He could still feel the throbbing pain from where he'd been beaten last time...
Hua Zhian quickly shook his head, "I don't know, it's up to you to decide."
Xie Lanqiao stared at him in shock, “…” So who did she marry? He looks so weak…
Hua Guangzong withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Hua Xiangyun with a loving expression. "So I want to put all these things in the street office. They have an office there, so if anyone needs them, they can borrow them from there."
"Would the street allow it?" Hua Xiangyun remembered that the place didn't seem very spacious, so how could there be any space available?
"This is a good thing for the neighborhood. By keeping these materials with them, they can better connect with the residents here."
In response, Director Xu agreed to give up her office and have staff from the neighborhood committee take turns guarding it.
Tian Guihua looked at him in surprise, "When did you do this? Why didn't you mention it before?"
It's no wonder Tian Guihua felt uneasy that she was keeping this from even her husband.
Hua Xiangyun understood; it seemed that these documents should indeed be placed in the neighborhood.
Sure enough, experience is the best teacher. If the two elderly people don't intend to leave, then maintaining good relations with the community is essential.
Furthermore, it's not good to give this thing to anyone right now, so this has found a good place for it.
Hua Zhian was surprised, "They're all being sent to the street office?"
My younger sister prepared a very complete set of things, including several sets of high school textbooks and materials, which was quite a lot.
"Send them all over, not a single one can be left out," Hua Guangzong said, staring at him as he spoke each word clearly. "I remember there should be some more in your room, bring them over to me later as well."
Now that the decision has been made to hand over full authority, those children can no longer be kept in their hands.
Hua Zhian: "There's no need for mine, I already promised..."
“No matter who you promised, just cancel it.” Tian Guihua sided with the old man this time. “Otherwise, how will others know if we handed in all the materials? What if we don’t do well on the exam and they think our family is hiding something? Are you going to take the blame for that?”
Don't end up doing good deeds but not getting any credit in return.
Tian Guihua was really afraid that this rascal would do something reckless, so she called Xie Lanqiao back to the room with her and gathered all the materials and textbooks.
Hua Zhian wanted to say something more, but under the old man's gaze, he finally sighed.
Brothers, I'm really sorry, I really can't help you this time...
Hua Xiangyun saw all of this, and after sitting for a little while longer, she made an excuse to go back to her room.
&
the next day
Hua Guangzong opened the door early in the morning and, with his two grandsons and granddaughter, carrying a large pile of things, headed to the street office.
Everyone had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the bags were filled with books and papers.
They knew all too well what these things meant; they had long heard that Zhou Xiaolan and He Ping'an had made a fortune using some information.
However, they also did some mental calculations. They borrowed from here and there, but the amount was limited and could not compare to what the Hua family had.
No one understood what the Hua family intended to do, so they simply followed behind them.
