However, reality dealt her cruel blows time and time again. When she started school, even though she tried to avoid the sun, her skin color darkened uncontrollably. Even though she wanted to study hard, she could never be as meticulous as her sister, and lost points everywhere.
The water in the pot boiled and bubbled.
The heat stung Shi Nianzhi's eyes. She quickly wiped away her tears and poked her head out. "Grandpa, uncle, do you want some instant noodles? I'll cook them for you."
"Cook it."
When it comes to instant noodles, you don’t want to eat them before you smell the flavor, but once someone starts eating them, you can’t help it.
Shi Nianzhi unpacked the package and looked at the bright colors on the bag, his thoughts once again lost in memories.
My sister has always loved drawing. She often draws small pictures in her notebook, sometimes a flower, sometimes a small house, and sometimes a cloud.
She went to ask her mother to send her and her sister to learn painting.
However... she was the only one who went, and she went to the Chinese painting class.
Things in the world are so accidental.
She worked hard to learn painting and won many awards in Chinese painting. However, because of the interest classes, her grades dropped a lot. She heard her mother and sister say that with this grade, she didn't know if she could get into No. 4 Middle School.
At that time, No. 4 Middle School where my sister studied was already a key school.
"It's okay, Mom. Nianzhi likes painting, so it would be a good career path for her in the future." Qin Yuhuan helped fold clothes and comforted her mother, who was anxious about her grades. "Art students don't have high requirements for academic scores. Don't worry too much. She's still young, and her grades can still improve."
"But you still have to ask your aunt for the money. They are about to resign. It's impossible for our family to pay for everything. You and dad work hard to earn money."
She stood at the door, feeling sad again because she was not the biological child of this family.
What if...what if she doesn't want to recognize her parents over there?
She pushed the door open, rushed in and shouted, "I don't want them to be my parents, I just want this family!"
Her sister seemed a little surprised at the time, then she smiled and waved at her.
She was carried to the bed.
"Nianzhi, what I said isn't about asking you to return to that family. I'm trying to help you get what you deserve." Qin Yuhuan explained gently, "Since they went back on their word and told you your life story, then they should take on the responsibility of raising you. Even if they can't give you love and care, they should at least give you some money. They saw that you had good grades and won many awards, and that you were better than Xiangxiang, so they expected you to bear most of the responsibility of support. It's equal."
It is impossible for Shi Lilan to bear the responsibility of raising the child, and in the end, the benefits of being supported will be reaped by Shi Lilan. By then, Shi Nianzhi will have to support two sets of parents, which is too much for him to bear.
It's just that Qin Yuhuan was very young at that time, and her thoughts and expressions were still superficial. Not to mention Shi Nianzhi, she has always been absolute, she couldn't consider and didn't want to consider so much.
When the seasoning packet was thrown into the pot, the room was filled with the aroma of beef noodles.
Shi Nianzhi thought that her sister had always been thinking about her and her parents. In order to raise her, their dilapidated family had paid too much unnecessary expenses and endured too much grievance.
Why isn't she my sister's biological sister?
This is a question Shi Nianzhi has wanted to ask countless times.
However, her relationship with her sister has now become an unsolvable problem.
The sound of a lighter was heard.
Grandpa and uncles started smoking again.
"Nianzhi, is it so slow to cook instant noodles?" Shi Hu's hoarse voice sounded.
"It's almost done, uncle. I didn't put enough water just now, so I cooked it again." Shi Nianzhi quickly wiped away her tears and concentrated on cooking the instant noodles.
She had placed that batch of pills in the kitchen in advance.
I scooped out my portion separately and threw the medicine into the instant noodle pot. It took a while to cook until it was completely dissolved.
The instant noodle pot was placed in the sink, and flames were flickering on the gas stove.
Shi Nianzhi stared at the blue flame for a long time, and finally poured some water to put out the fire on the gas stove.
Shi Laizi and the other two were discussing house prices while slurping their noodles, calculating where they could buy a house with the remaining money after giving them 80,000 yuan.
The housing prices in Licheng are not high, even for the capital city of Li Province, the housing prices are not high.
"If I buy one that's close by, it will be convenient for me to move around in the future. If I buy one that's bigger, Dad hopes to see more great-grandchildren."
Shi Long has only one daughter, Shi Tongtong, but Shi Hu has two sons. The younger son is enrolled in a flight academy this year and I heard that he will become a pilot after graduation.
As for his great-grandson, Shi Long was too embarrassed to raise his head and couldn't get a word in. He was supposed to be the most respected eldest son in the family, and was more respected by his father than this clueless and scoundrel brother. But...
"As for Tongtong, just let her live next to her two cousins so that she can have support in the future. Yu Huan is really cruel. He is holding on to tens of thousands of dollars and forcing Tongtong to sell her house. It's outrageous."
Shi Laizi yawned. "Fortunately, I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to get the money. Is it five million?"
"Yes," Shi Long nodded and adjusted his glasses. "My old classmate's factory is doing very well and can earn several million a year. If Bangbang and the others want to find a job in the future, he can help arrange it."
"She's a good match," Shi Laizi sighed, "I've done my best to repay her deceased mother."
Shi Nianzhi suppressed his nausea and ate two mouthfuls of noodles silently. He was an old classmate, who was of a different generation than him, but he was still thinking about a young girl in her twenties. Was this fair to him?
The old man really knows how to add drama to himself, he is as disgusting as always.
"You too, Nianzhi, you should get out of the entertainment industry as soon as possible and find a good family to marry while you're still young. It's not easy to have children when you're older."
Shi Long said earnestly, "The entertainment industry is not a serious place. Look at those rich young men. They don't treat people as human beings. The men don't act like men, they act like effeminate women. The women are coquettish and the clothes they wear are made of nothing. How can they be treated like this? Can the country rely on these people in the future? Can they really rely on them? I don't know what kind of education we have now."
"I understand, uncle. My contract is signed for a few years. In a few years, when I reach marriageable age, I won't renew it." Shi Nianzhi pretended to be obedient. "My parents also wanted me to earn them a house so that I can get married soon and they can help me take care of the children."
"That's what a good kid is." Shi Long was very pleased. "Your parents had no choice but to send you away. The policy was too restrictive. I was also stuck in the policy, so I only have your cousin."
Shi Nianzhi didn't want to delve into whether Shi Long had no money to raise a second child, or whether he really loved her cousin Tongtong like a father, or something else. At least in her and her sister's eyes, Shi Long was a complete and disgusting hypocrite.
