Chapter 171 Studying is much easier than working in a factory.
The parent-teacher meeting went very smoothly.
Midway through, the homeroom teacher specifically praised Yan Sheng, saying that he had made great progress and had a very positive attitude towards learning.
When Yan Sheng first entered Dechuang, his homeroom teacher was very worried about his grades.
However, after spending half a semester together, the homeroom teacher's opinion of him changed significantly.
Yan Sheng is a rare guy who, despite his power and influence, shows no arrogance whatsoever.
The homeroom teacher liked Yan Sheng very much, and smiled more often when looking at Yan Kui.
Yan Kui walked out of the campus and felt refreshed.
So this is what it feels like to have a successful child.
Dechuang lived very close to home, so the two decided to walk back.
Summers in Taipei are dry, unlike the humid and sultry weather in the south.
The locust trees along the street are in full bloom at this time of year, their dense green leaves filtering down like scattered gold in the sunlight.
Yan Kui kicked at some pebbles by the roadside and suddenly asked, "Xiao Sheng, do you feel a lot of pressure?"
Yan Sheng was a little confused by his sister's sudden remark. He looked at Yan Kui's smiling face and paused for a moment.
"Sister, studying is much easier than working in a factory."
"I never had such good learning resources before."
“Back then, I was working in a factory in the original city. Every day, I would wear my work clothes and work in the industrial park for more than ten hours. I couldn’t look at my phone or chat. The management was very strict.”
Yan Kui felt a pang of sadness when she recalled that Yan Sheng had told her on the phone that he could only answer calls after nine o'clock at night.
Were you exhausted back then?
Yan Sheng quickly shook his head: "No, it's not. I get paid, so I won't starve. I can keep doing it."
Yan Kui couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She didn't know how Yan Sheng had gotten through those days; he only described them lightly, but Yan Kui knew that it was actually very difficult.
Look up at the leaves in front of you, try to take a deep breath, don't want to cry in the street.
Yan Sheng realized he might have said too much, and stood beside Yan Kui, looking down at his sister's reddened eyes: "But I'm so happy right now, really, sister."
“Now I have friends, and I can go out with them on weekends. I can eat a lot of things that I wanted to eat but could never afford before, and I don’t have to worry about not having enough money to concentrate on my studies.”
Yan Kui didn't speak, but the sound of car horns and Yan Sheng's gentle voice reached her ears.
Tears welled up in Yan Kui's eyes, but she tried to hold them back.
Yan Sheng was at a loss. He wanted to comfort Yan Kui, but the words he wanted to say changed.
"sister."
Yan Kui looked up and gazed at him.
Yan Sheng lowered his eyes, avoiding Yan Kui's gaze.
"Actually, I'm glad."
"I'm glad you left that home, I'm glad you returned to Luoxia Village."
Yan Sheng lowered his head, lifted his leg, and stepped on the small stone that Yan Kui had just kicked to his feet.
“But I was afraid you would look down on my family because we were poor, so I made up an excuse to make you wait for me in Luoxia Village for two months.”
"That's what I thought at the time."
"If you get used to life in Luoxia Village, will you stop disliking me?"
Yan Sheng seemed to want to say something to express his gratitude, but the words stuck in his throat, neither coming out nor going out.
He was afraid that if he told Yan Kui, she would think he was being distant and that he didn't treat her like a real sister.
Upon hearing him speak, Yan Kui couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face. She raised her hand to shield her eyes and yelled at Yan Sheng, "You brat! Do you have to make me cry in the street?"
Passersby on the street frequently glanced at the brother and sister.
Yan Sheng's face turned red, and he quickly took out a pack of tissues from his schoolbag to wipe away his older sister's tears, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, sis, I should have waited until we got home to talk about it..."
Yan Kui cried even louder upon hearing this. Did this child not understand the unspoken meaning behind her words?
"Don't cry, sis, I was just kidding, don't believe me..."
Because her eyes were filled with too many tears, the figure of Yan Sheng hurriedly wiping away her tears was blurred beyond recognition.
Those two months were also a form of redemption for her.
After being driven out of her home by her so-called relatives, she found her true home in a small mountain village.
Just when she thought she was all alone, a well-behaved and kind younger brother suddenly appeared.
