Zhang Huan took his family to visit Zhang Yansheng's grandmother on the weekend.
The Zhang family takes the children to visit their grandmother at least once a month, and Zhang Yansheng's uncle also goes with his whole family for a small family gathering.
This time, Zhang Huan proudly boasted to his mother: "Your granddaughter was admitted to the preparatory class."
Zhang Yansheng had a blank expression on his face. He really didn't think there was anything worth bragging about in being admitted to the preparatory class. For her, it was indeed a big surprise to be admitted into this class. But to others, it's not like I was admitted into the top class, so it would be embarrassing to show off.
Especially, with her cousins as examples.
As expected, my cousin Zhang Lin smiled and said, "It's the preparatory class... We still need to keep working hard."
Zhang Lin is one year older than Zhang Yansheng and is in his second year of high school. Although he attended a private school, he was in an elite small class.
Cousin Zhang Qi nudged her brother and said, "Being able to enter the preparatory class at least shows that Yanyan has worked hard, so she should be praised."
This eldest cousin is three years older than Zhang Yansheng and will be a freshman at the beginning of the school year. My cousin Zhang Qi has been an excellent student since she was young. She was in top classes in junior high and high school, and this year she was admitted to K University. K University is located in K City, so it is very convenient to go to school.
Zhang Huan was so happy. It had been several years since Zhang Yansheng had achieved anything good to show off. Suddenly, he had made such great progress that he couldn't help but talk about it.
But in front of her outstanding nieces and nephews, it seems that there is really nothing worth showing off.
When Zhang Huan came to his senses, his face felt a little hot.
Liang Yingying wanted to laugh out loud, but she didn't dare, so she tried hard to hold it back.
Zhang Yansheng's aunt gave a subtle smile. That was a smile that he wanted to appear polite, but he couldn't hide the smugness in his heart.
The eldest aunt also said to her two children: "You two have experience. You should communicate with Yanyan more often and act like older brothers and sisters."
Unfortunately, Zhang Heling was not a particularly perceptive child. She was eager to let everyone know how hard Zhang Yansheng studied this summer. She took the initiative to approach her grandmother and said loudly, "Grandma, you don't know, my sister didn't go out to travel during the summer vacation. She didn't go anywhere. She studied in her room every day, very hard!"
Considering Zhang Yansheng’s mediocre grades in his three years of junior high school, this description is clearly a typical example of “cramming at the last minute.”
Zhang Lin sneered.
Zhang Yansheng later ran all the way towards being a "bad girl". On the surface, she seemed wild and rebellious and didn't care about anything, but in fact, she felt very inferior to this pair of excellent cousins in her heart. Because they were both what her mother had once hoped she would be.
Zhang Yansheng felt a little hot on the face when his cousin laughed at him like that. She wanted to tell Zhang Heling to stop talking too much, but this silly girl's eyes sparkled and the corners of her mouth turned up, and she clearly looked proud of her sister.
Zhang Yansheng couldn't bear to hit her, so he could only endure it himself.
Grandma laughed and touched Zhang Heling's head and said, "That's why you have made such great progress, right? Your sister has set a good example for you. You have to study hard too."
Zhang Heling puffed out her chest and said, "I studied hard, Shuo Shuo studied hard too, my sister supervised both of us. Whoever didn't study hard would be beaten."
Zhang Shuocheng took the opportunity to complain: "My sister spanked me and it hurt!"
Grandma Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised.
According to her understanding, Zhang Yansheng almost ignored his two younger siblings in the past. Why did Zhang Heling mean that she not only paid attention to them, but also was willing to spend time teaching them?
Zhang Huan struck while the iron was hot: "Yanyan is older now, and she looks like a big sister. Her brothers and sisters all listen to her."
As he said this, he touched Zhang Shuocheng's head. Zhang Shuocheng snorted in annoyance but did not refute.
Zhang Yansheng's grandmother smiled with relief, looked at Zhang Yansheng and said, "Grow up, everything will be fine when you grow up."
Zhang Yansheng just lowered his head slightly and acted humble.
Grandma touched Zhang Heling's little hand and said, "Our He He has grown up too. She and her sister are wearing sister outfits today. They look so beautiful!"
Zhang Heling puffed out his chest and looked very happy under everyone's gaze.
Zhang Yansheng's great aunt smiled and said, "He He looks like her mother, so pretty."
Liang Yingying was caught off guard by the hidden arrow and cursed in her heart, "Fuck you", but in front of the old lady she could only grit her teeth and force a smile: "Sister-in-law, please don't make fun of me all the time."
The aunt smiled slightly and didn't respond to her. She was unwilling to pay any attention to this gold digger who had become a mistress.
Liang Yingying swallowed her anger.
The reason why the aunt said this was to remind the old lady that Zhang Heling was the one who picked up the girl.
At first, the old lady didn't want Liang Yingying to come in, and even suggested leaving the child with her. But Zhang Huan still felt that the child could not be without a mother, so he made Liang Yingying his permanent wife.
The old lady has lived to this point and doesn’t need to consider anyone’s face or worry about anyone’s mood in this family. She looked down on Liang Yingying and ignored her.
Zhang Qi received the signal from her mother, walked over with a smile, sat next to the old lady and talked to her, and seemingly unintentionally pushed Zhang Heling aside.
Zhang Heling had already gotten used to it and obediently made room for her.
Zhang Yansheng couldn't help but frown when he saw it.
When she was young, her grandmother loved her very much.
My aunt and my great aunt are of the same kind, both are delicate and noble ladies, so my grandmother actually doesn't like my aunt very much. However, Zhang Yansheng's mother is also a career-oriented woman, which is more to the old lady's liking.
The older people get, the more they like to do whatever they want. The old lady prefers what she likes more, and she is obviously better to Zhang Yansheng and her daughter than to her cousins.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yansheng's mother got cancer. Not to mention her career, she couldn't even take care of her daughter and eventually passed away. Not only did Zhang Yansheng gradually become mediocre, but she also became more and more extreme and stubborn. Later, she even became a bad girl, which completely disappointed the old lady.
Zhang Yansheng admitted that if she were to look back on her later behavior now, she would not like herself. So she had no resentment towards the old lady. Besides, the old lady didn't like Liang Yingying, but at least this matter pleased her very much. The old lady didn't seem to like Zhang Heling very much later on. Considering Zhang Heling's later personality and the factor of Liang Yingying, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the old lady's dislike for her.
But now, at least now, Zhang Heling is still just an ignorant and naive little girl. Zhang Yansheng is not happy that Zhang Qi, her adult cousin, is so obviously ostracizing and bullying her.
Later, when she was hanging out in the outside world, she always had a reputation as a chivalrous woman, and people said she was righteous. This is how he treats outsiders, so Zhang Yansheng would never allow Zhang Heling, who is still a primary school student, to be bullied.
She stepped forward, stood behind Zhang Heling, put her hand against her vest, and stopped her from retreating any further. If we retreat further, we will retreat to a corner where no one can see us. Zhang Heling was always like this in his previous life, both at home and outside.
Who would be able to see her cuteness, seriousness and cleverness if she always retreats?
"Sister Qiqi, are you going to live on campus?" she asked when she heard Zhang Qi talking to the old lady about college.
Zhang Qi said, "No, I am a day student. Didn't I tell you last time that my parents gave me a car as a reward? Did you forget?"
When Zhang Yansheng was reborn, it was already mid-to-late July. She remembered that when her cousin's grades came out, she knew she would be admitted to K University. Her uncle and aunt immediately held a celebratory party and rewarded her cousin with a sports car.
It’s more expensive than Liang Yingying’s.
Liang Yingying was particularly envious, but Zhang Huan had originally planned to buy it for her two years later. I don't know why in this life, but I suddenly bought it for her.
"Sister Qiqi will tell us about K University later so that we can learn more about it. We don't have to just look at the rankings and listen to the school's boasts when choosing a school in the future." Zhang Yansheng said.
Zhang Qi raised her eyebrows: "Why, Yanyan also wants to go to K University in the future?"
K University is a double first-class university. It's not that she looks down on this cousin, but based on her grades in junior high school, it would be a joke for her to say that she wants to go to K University in the future.
Although I was admitted to the top preparatory class this time, who knows if my second uncle spent money just to save face.
Zhang Yansheng smiled and said, "My grades are far behind."
She touched Zhang Heling's head and said, "Hehe might be able to do it. Hehe has very good grades and has always been in the top three in the grade, either first or second."
The advantage of sister outfits, mother-daughter outfits, or couple outfits is that when two people stand together, the visual effect will be magnified.
No matter how much Liang Yingying was annoyed by this, she couldn't stop Zhang Heling from dressing exactly the same as Zhang Yansheng. The two sisters stood there, the elder sister smiled and rubbed her younger sister's head, one was pretty and the other was cute. There was a natural intimacy in the smiles of both of them, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
The old lady was quite surprised: "He He's grades are so good? How come I didn't know? Why didn't your dad ever tell me?" As she said that, she cast a dissatisfied glance at Zhang Huan.
This matter... Zhang Huan was also embarrassed and could only laugh dryly: "I am busy, how can I take care of everything? The child's affairs are all taken care of by her mother."
He confidently pushed the blame onto Liang Yingying. Liang Yingying cursed inwardly, sweat on her forehead, afraid that she would upset the old lady again, and said awkwardly: "Actually, it's just like that... There's nothing much to say."
Liang Yingying is usually quite good at talking, at least in front of Zhang Huan, she speaks in a coquettish voice and says things that he likes to hear. Why do you become stupid when you are in front of the old lady?
Listen to what that is saying! Zhang Huan was so angry that he didn't want to look at her anymore.
His elder brother and sister-in-law both sneered.
Lao Tian rolled his eyes and ignored her. He looked at Zhang Heling and waved lovingly: "Come here, talk to grandma."
Zhang Yansheng gently pushed Zhang Heling in front of the old lady.
The old lady glanced at her, took Zhang Heling's hand, asked the little girl to sit next to her, and asked her about school in a gentle voice. There was a childish seriousness in Zhang Heling's answer.
The old lady didn't pay much attention to her little granddaughter because of her mother. When I paid more attention to her now, I felt that she was a simple-minded child, very different from her mother.
She couldn't help but look at Zhang Yansheng again.
Yanyan never liked Hehe before, but today it seems that the two sisters have a very good relationship. The last time I saw them was at my aunt's birthday party, which was only a month ago. At that time, Yanyan was very cold towards her younger sister. How could there be such a big change suddenly?
Or grown up? Do you know how to judge people?
Because Zhang Heling sat next to the old lady, Zhang Qi had to move her butt to make room for her.
She watched the old lady being attracted by this somewhat silly little cousin, and this little cousin, who had never known how to please her elders before, was pushed to the old lady by the eldest cousin.
She looked up at Zhang Yansheng.
There was a hint of estimation, scrutiny, and... a little bit of hostility in that look.
Zhang Yansheng was stunned.
