Ji Xin has two sons, twins who look exactly the same and are the same age as Ji Ling. His wife, Li Songlan, works at the neighborhood office, so both of them are on the social welfare grid.

Together with the two elderly people of the Ji family, they live in this three-room bungalow in Taipei City.

When Ji Ling came over, only the old lady was at home. While old lady Ji was talking, brothers Ji Ping'an and Ji Pingshun came back. Both of them were studying at the Railway Technical School. It was summer vacation now, so they went out to play with their classmates during the day.

Seeing this scene at home, the two of them tactfully kept silent and found a place to sit down.

Ji Ling was a bit thick-skinned and could see that the two brothers were just watching her having fun.

In fact, what she was thinking about was still what Old Lady Ji said.

"Your father doesn't have a son."

Mrs. Ji looked stronger than her, so she couldn't be confused, so this sentence couldn't be wrong.

But Ji Jianhua is clearly at home.

"Look, I said that everyone in our family is more capable than the other. After not seeing her for a few months, this girl has learned to act stupid and dazed." Old Mrs. Ji took a sip of tea and glanced at Ji Ling's face in a weird way.

Ji Ling: He couldn't slack off even when being scolded. How much does he despise the original owner?

Looking at the two cousins, it was natural for them to watch the fun.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm not that great. My two cousins ​​have always been very good at pretending to be stupid. I've only just started learning, so I have to learn from them in the future."

Mrs. Ji’s words got stuck in her throat.

Ji Ling came close to her and hugged her, "Grandma, I didn't do well before. I haven't done anything else at home in the past few months. I have been thinking about how to make you like me. I am stupid and I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think. I just think of comparing myself with my two cousins ​​and do what they do. The effect is really good. Look, you praised me today."

Ji brothers: Old Mrs. Ji: You and your brothers are getting along well.

Ji Ling looked at the dark face of Old Lady Ji and felt happier. She put her arm around Old Lady Ji's shoulders and swayed comfortably.

Ji Pingshun, the second oldest of the Ji family, was the first to react, "Lingzi, my second brother and I have both been admitted to university."

Ji Ling said, "I was admitted to university, too."

Ji Ping stood up quickly and said, "Impossible."

Ji Ling glanced at him and said, "He is the top scorer in the liberal arts college entrance examination in H Province."

Ji Pingshun: Ji Ling said again, "It's true that I can't compare with my second and third brothers. This is my fault, but I've already taken the exam, what can I do?"

Everyone: Ji Ling hugged Old Lady Ji's stiff body that resisted any contact with her, and deliberately leaned close to her ear, whispering quietly but for everyone to hear, "Grandma, this time you go out and show off to the neighbors on both sides, slap them in the face, tell them that our Ji family is arrogant, and the daughter we raised is also arrogant. If anyone doesn't like it, just try to become the top scorer in the college entrance examination."

Old Mrs. Ji was completely petrified.

The awkward scene was finally broken when Ji Xin came in wearing an apron and asked Ji Ling what she wanted to eat.

Ji Ling politely refused, "Second Uncle, I won't stay for dinner. My mother is still waiting for the letter. I'll go back first. I'll stay in the city for a few days anyway. I'll come over and chat with my grandma if I have nothing to do."

Old Lady Ji: Ji Xin smiled and said, "Okay, come and accompany your grandparents more often when you have nothing to do."

Then he ordered his eldest son, "Ping An, ride your bike to take your sister there."

Ji Ping'an has a calm temperament, more like Ji Xin. He responded gently and nodded to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she finally didn't have to go out on the street and wait to be claimed.

Along the way, the brother and sister did not talk to each other. Ji Ling secretly memorized the route. After arriving at the staff quarters where the Xu family lived, the brother and sister had a few words of conversation.

"Xiaoling, congratulations." Ji Pingan said, "Your third brother and I are not here to watch the fun. You know your grandmother's temper. If we don't let her speak freely, she will say something even more harsh the next time we meet."

He smiled and said, "But if you change your method this time, the effect should be good. The milk will be more restrained next time."

After saying that, he winked at Ji Ling, got on his bike and left.

Ji Ling had a perfect fight with Old Lady Ji today, which also helped the original owner to vent her anger. She greeted the old man guarding the gate in a happy mood and walked into the yard.

Take the Xu family out for a walk.

Sure enough, when she was halfway along the path in the courtyard, someone called her.

"Ji Ling, wait a moment."

Ji Ling stopped and turned her head to look at the boy walking towards her from the left.

The boy is about 1.8 meters tall, thin and fair-skinned. The white shirt makes his facial features look even more handsome.

What a sunny boy.

"Ji Ling, Xiao Ke came to my house to play this morning. I knew you were going to your grandma's house, so I've been waiting for you." Chen Jingming stopped three steps away, his eyes as gentle as his voice, "Here's five hundred yuan, take it."

Ji Ling happily took it and said, "It's easy to borrow and repay. It won't be difficult to borrow again. It would be great if everyone who borrows money is as proactive as you."

Chen Jingming narrowed his eyes as he smiled, "When did you learn to be so humorous? By the way, have you received your university admission letter?"

Showing kindness for no reason.

Ji Ling looked at him, evasive and asked, "Your degree is in, right? Which university?"

"I'm from this province, and I'm studying at a normal school." Chen Jingming put one hand in his pocket and looked down at you. This posture always gives people the illusion that in his eyes, in his world, there is only you.

To describe it simply: affectionate.

Ji Ling put the money in her pocket and said, "That's great. By the way, when you go to my grandma's house, which way do you like to go?"

Chen Jingming, who had no idea that Ji Ling was asking for directions, pointed in a direction and said, "Your grandmother's house is over there. I usually don't take this road. I always take the path behind the yard."

The compound was full of buildings. Ji Ling first noted down which one it was, and then seemed to be chatting and asking for the information she needed, "Do you usually go to my grandpa's house? Climbing the stairs must be tiring?"

Chen Jingming was very happy. "My family lives on the second floor, and your grandmother lives on the first floor. Together we have three floors, but we don't feel tired. Are you caring about me?"

Ji Ling: A perfect misunderstanding.

She didn't stay any longer and waved her hand, "My mother is still waiting for me, I'm going back first, we'll talk next time."

"Ji Ling, we have an appointment to go hiking tomorrow, let's go together." Chen Jingming shouted at her background, "Then it's settled, let's meet at the gate at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

Touch your big head ghost.

My sister didn't agree to you.

Ji Ling went towards the Xu family's building without looking back. Before she reached the door of the unit, she saw a head shrinking back.

Ji Ling recognized Xu Fang at a glance with her 1.0 eyes.

She took a few quick steps, checked which door had just been closed at the stairs on the first floor, and found Xu's house directly.

Only Xu's mother was at home, and Xu's father took Ji Ke to a friend's house.

Xu's mother took out some fruit and said, "Xiaoling hasn't had her period for a few months. Come over and sit down. You look a lot thinner."

Ji Ling called out "Grandma" and sat down quietly to eat oranges, pretending not to notice Xu Fang's occasional glances at her.

The room was a little quiet, and Xu's mother tried to find a conversation, "Did you quarrel with your grandma again?"

Speaking of this, Ji Ling really wanted to ask Xu Fang, "Mom, my grandma was a little confused today. She said that my dad has no son and she doesn't even remember my eldest brother. She is so sick. When my dad comes, you should go and see her."

With a bang, Xu Fang threw the book in her hand onto the coffee table, her face looking very ugly, "How could you curse your grandson if you weren't confused?"
