Chapter 348: Protecting My Sister
After Christmas, there is only about half a month left before the winter vacation.
However, for high school seniors, they are not looking forward to this holiday at all. Oh my, there are only a few days off and there is so much homework, it’s better not to have any off!
Moreover, once the winter vacation is over, it will be a big step closer to the college entrance examination in June, and they are not ready yet.
In addition to facing a mountain of review materials, they also have to deal with the upcoming final exams. Whether they do well or not in the exam directly determines whether they can have a good year.
"What delicious food will my mother prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner?" Sheng Yuanyuan tilted her head and thought.
This is the first reunion dinner after my sister came back, so it should be extra sumptuous, right? She hasn't decided yet what gifts to give to her parents and sister during the New Year.
Sheng Beibei helplessly tapped her sister's head with a pen: "You, why are you distracted again?"
Sheng Yuanyuan giggled twice and quickly buried her head in her review.
In the past, Sheng Yuanyuan and Xie Ziyu were in the study room next door. Sheng Beibei would check her sister's homework every night before going to bed. Seeing that her sister was making gradual progress, she did not keep an eye on her all the time.
As the final exam was approaching, Sheng Beibei called Sheng Yuanyuan to her study to study together.
My sister just has a more playful nature, but she has a good comprehension ability. As long as she is willing to work hard, I believe she can be admitted to a key university.
Sheng Beibei gave her sister a question based on the knowledge points she had just taught.
In fact, Sheng Beibei didn't force her sister to live in her study simply for the sake of grades, but because her sister's death date in the novel was getting closer and closer, Sheng Beibei was afraid, and she worried that she would not be able to protect her sister.
"This question is so difficult." Sheng Yuanyuan's face was almost wrinkled like a bun, and she looked at the abstruse question with deep resentment. As if she had thought of something, she took a pen and wrote and drew on the draft paper. Humph, she would definitely be able to do it.
Sheng Beibei just looked at her cute and adorable sister. Her sister was so kind and had never done anything bad. She didn't deserve to end up like that.
"Beibei, can you explain this question?" Xie Ziyu came over with the question and the answer. Every time after finishing a question, he would check the answer and modify it himself. If he really couldn't figure it out, he would ask Sheng Beibei for help.
Sheng Beibei glanced at the question and after a brief thought, he knew what misunderstanding Xie Ziyu had made and explained, "It's like this..."
Xie Ziyu listened carefully, and with Sheng Beibei's guidance, he quickly figured out the key. After thanking Sheng Beibei repeatedly, he returned to his seat.
Looking at Xie Ziyu who looked a little haggard, Sheng Beibei sighed slightly.
I don’t know what stimulated Xie Ziyu during this period of time. She suddenly became extremely hardworking. She went to bed in the early morning every day and got up around five o’clock. Can she really bear it if it continues like this?
Sheng Beibei couldn't help but wonder if Xie Ziyu hadn't often eaten the fruits in the space, he might have fallen ill long ago.
In fact, Xie Ziyu originally thought that there were so many medical universities in China, so he could just go to the one he could afford, but now he plans to stay in Beijing. There is no other way. I can't let my mother abandon everything at home and go to another city to study in college with him, right?
No matter what, she is his mother, and she is strict with him for his own good. He had already felt sorry for her by secretly pursuing his dream, and he just hoped not to disappoint her in his studies.
He believed that he could balance his dreams and responsibilities.
At the same time, Gu Yanchuan was also reviewing hard. The final exam was less than two weeks away, and he had to do better in the exam and not give Ji Youli a chance to overtake him.
…
As the winter vacation approached, Sheng Beibei felt more and more uneasy, so she simply let her sister sleep with her.
That night, Jiang Lanxue brought them hot milk.
"Beibei, Yuanyuan, we are going back to Sucheng for a few days during this winter vacation." Jiang Lanxue touched Sheng Beibei's cheek lovingly, "Let's go pay respect to your grandparents."
"Okay, Mom."
Sheng Beibei was still very young when she got lost and had no impression of her grandparents, but she knew they must be very good people. It was a pity that she didn't come back before they died.
She was abducted in Suzhou City. I hope that her grandparents will not leave this world with guilt and regret.
Sheng Beibei lowered her head and drank the hot milk in small sips.
"Go to bed early." As if recalling her childhood memories, Jiang Lanxue left the room with a complicated expression.
Sheng Beibei noticed that her sister didn't seem very happy, and asked with concern: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, I don't really want to go back to Sucheng." Sheng Yuanyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a Totoro plush doll in her arms, with a look of reluctance on her face.
"Why?"
"I think the relatives over there are a bit annoying."
"Relatives?" Sheng Beibei had never heard her parents talk about their relatives and friends in Sucheng. She remembered her sister saying before that her parents didn't have many relatives. They should be just distant relatives, right?
If they are distant relatives, we basically don’t keep in touch with them on a regular basis. We just say hello when we meet during the holidays.
"He is my mother's nominal cousin."
"Nominally?"
Mom’s cousin? This is a very distant relative, right? Still in name only. Huh? Why nominally?
"Yes, our grandpa was adopted." Sheng Yuanyuan became angrier the more she thought about it. She grew up in Beijing, and people in her circle would at least maintain harmonious relationships on the surface. It was rare to see such a shameless family.
"My great-grandfather went out to fight in the war shortly after he got married and never came back. My great-grandmother adopted my grandfather and never remarried."
Hearing this, Sheng Beibei was a little moved. Their great-grandmother was really admirable. In that era of material scarcity, a woman worked hard to raise her child and wait for someone who might never come back.
He passed away not long after her wedding. After only a few days of sweetness, she was left with a lifetime of bitterness.
However, at that time, there was war and chaos, and separation and death seemed to be very common. Sheng Beibei secretly made up her mind that although her power might be limited, she would do her best to make her motherland stronger and never be bullied again.
I hope tragedies like my great-grandmother’s will never happen again.
"Mom's nominal great uncle is grandpa's cousin." Sheng Yuanyuan frowned, "His parents often bullied our great-grandma and grandpa, and wanted to occupy their house and land, just because grandpa was not their biological son."
"But the family was divided when my great-grandfather got married, and that is my great-grandfather's land." Sheng Yuanyuan was very angry.
Sheng Beibei's expression became more and more serious. Isn't this family too awesome? Rural residential land is allocated according to households, and land is distributed according to population. Even if my grandfather is not there, does it mean that it belongs to them?
Even if he wants to inherit the right to use the homestead and the right to contract and operate the land, his wife and adopted son are still alive, so it won't be his brother's turn, right?
It's obvious that they think my great-grandmother and grandfather are widows and orphans and easy to bully.
"Later, my grandfather became a university professor. They often went to the school to make trouble, so my grandfather gave up the homestead and farmland at home."
"Given it away?" Sheng Beibei frowned. She couldn't help but think of the days in her previous life when she was sucked dry by Qian Chengfu and Cao Hongjuan. They would do anything despicable for money and would always go to the media to complain about her being unfilial.
I guess those top-notch people were crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, so my grandfather had to compromise in order to keep his job.
Sheng Beibei looked at her sister. Her sister died during this winter vacation. Was her death related to those extreme relatives?
