Xu Jiaojiao took her mother's hand and walked into the room, and stuffed her eldest brother's two thousand yuan into her mother's arms: "Mom, this is what my eldest brother gave me before he left. You should save it for him to get married."

Yan Fenglian touched the thick paper bag, her eyebrows jumped, and she opened it to see a thick stack of money inside, most of which was scattered: "Why did big brother give you so much money? Isn't Xiaoshu doing well?"

Yan Fenglian kept thinking in her mind, wondering if something had happened to the man outside since he had to pay so much money at once. She paced around the room anxiously.

"Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. I told my eldest brother that I was planning to open a clothing store, but how could I ask for his money?"

Xu Jiaojiao held her mother in her arms and hurried to comfort her.

Yan Fenglian touched her chest soothingly and let out a breath: "I thought something had happened. Since it's given to you by big brother, just take it, Jiaojiao."

"My brother needs money to marry a wife, and I have money. I have earned 700 yuan as a translator."

As the girl spoke, her expression became more and more smug, as if her tail was about to lift up.

"Seven hundred yuan, so much money. Jiaojiao, mother is right, you are the lucky star of our Xu family." Yan Fenglian hugged the girl and straightened her back excitedly.

How could those who don't know the value of things know Jiaojiao's goodness? "Jiaojiao, I'll keep the money from my elder brother for you. I'll accompany you to the county town to look at shops tomorrow."

Seeing that her mother was determined to do so, the girl didn't say anything. She followed her fourth brother to invite her grandparents. It was not easy to have a meal of white rice now.

Xu Jiaojiao's grandparents live near the stream, which is the quietest place in the village. They are old and like quietness.

"Grandma." The girl waved to the old woman from a distance and ran over quickly.

My grandmother's surname is Mu. When she was young, she was the daughter of a landlord. If it weren't for my grandfather's protection, who knows what would have happened to her. People nowadays have children early, and Grandma Mu is only in her fifties.

"My dear grandson, go and call your grandpa."

She hugged her granddaughter happily, liking her so much. Xu Jiaojiao also snuggled in her grandmother's arms and acted coquettishly. Grandma Mu was born into a wealthy family, and she still exuded a noble temperament.

A spirited man came out of the house. He looked quite old, but only had a few white hairs on his temples. His temperament was very sharp, and it was chilly at first sight.

Xu Jiaojiao knew how good these two old people were. After she had brought disaster to her entire family, she went to her old comrades for help. However, on the way home, she was dragged into an alley and beaten to death by some hooligans.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiaojiao's nose felt sour: "Grandpa."

Grandpa Xu was full of vigor and said, "Jiaojiao, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

The girl looked at the three people around her who were concerned about her and shook her head in tears: "I just miss you guys."

Xu Yan touched his sister's soft hair and coaxed her, "Jiaojiao, come home. Mom has made something delicious for you."

"good."

Afterwards, they walked towards home affectionately. Xu Jiaojiao was pampered in the middle along the way. Grandpa was holding a bag in his hand, which contained Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes sent by his comrades-in-arms. The festival was approaching.

Mooncakes are rare items, and what's more, they are equipped with five different fillings. Do they have the disdain for five-nut mooncakes that people in later generations have? Even Xu Jiaojiao felt like she had seen a treasure.

Several people entered the house and found that the dishes were ready. They were sitting at the table waiting for them. Xie Zhi watched Jiaojiao sit next to him very naturally, and then looked at the people at the table who were teasing him, and his ears turned red.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't think much of it and even picked up some food for Xie Zhi in a rare considerate manner. There were eight or nine dishes on the table, which were even better than those during Chinese New Year. Everyone's bowl was filled with white rice, and even the meat on the plate was sizzling with oil, which looked very appetizing.

Xu Jiaojiao announced to everyone at the table that she was going to open a store. Everyone was shocked as there were too many restrictions. Father Xu went over the situation in his mind and decided that it would not do well for Jiaojiao to stay at home all day. She should try opening a store. When people are busy, they will not do stupid things.

So, he spoke first: "I support Jiaojiao."

"Me too." Grandpa Xu nodded in agreement. He always felt that his granddaughter had extraordinary talent and was definitely not an ordinary person. She would definitely do something different.

The two of them expressed their opinions, most of which were supportive, and discussed asking Xu's mother and Xu Ze to accompany them to take a look, as Xie Zhi definitely didn't have time.

He had been away for a long time, and the busy farming season was over. School would start tomorrow, which Xu Jiaojiao naturally knew. She gently hooked the man's hand with her little finger, looking flattering.

After dinner, I handed my grandparents clothes and shoes, and gave them a lot of cakes and candies for the elderly. Then I watched them leave and came back for dinner in the evening.

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't wait to run into her brother's room, only to find that they lived in the most dilapidated house in the house. Some of the earthen walls were broken and mud debris was constantly falling down.

Fortunately, the room was clean enough, with two wooden beds placed side by side, all made by Xu's father himself. Xu Ze saw his sister's mysterious look, and knocked on her head with the book in his hand: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother, why did you hit me? I just wanted to ask you how Hongyan was sentenced."

She did not tell anyone what Hongyan's parents had done to her. In her opinion, Hongyan was Hongyan, and she was already miserable now, and even her parents didn't care about her anymore.

"I'm not sure. It seems to be still being processed. This case is very serious. It may take another half a month."

Xu Jiaojiao said sullenly: "Okay."

The girl shuttled back and forth between the two courtyards like a gust of wind. She pushed open the door and saw Xie Zhi sitting in the room reading a book, his body still, like a tough little poplar tree.

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh, this person is really hardworking, reading every day, as if he has a book in his hand every day, so some people's success is what he deserves.

Xie Zhichong waved to the girl, motioning her to come over: "Jiaojiao, come and take a look at this question."

When Xu Jiaojiao got closer, she realized that this was actually high school math tutoring materials. The girl immediately looked bitter and felt extremely miserable.

Xie Zhi raised his eyebrows, his cold eyes actually showed a hint of teasing: "My father gave me this. I will supervise you to learn one knowledge point every day in the future. I just don't know what your foundation is like. Give it a try."

Xu Jiaojiao picked up the copied question and took a look. Oh, this is just the Pythagorean theorem. He was looking down on herself too much. After all, she was a graduate of a reputable 211 university.

He picked up the pen, glanced at the question, and finished it in no time, then looked like he was trying to take credit.

"Good, give another question tomorrow." Xie Zhi nodded with a smile. The girl's knowledge was far more profound than he thought. Seeing her trying to please him, he took out a chocolate from his arms.

She tore open the colorful candy wrapper, stuffed it in, and exclaimed without restraint: "My Jiaojiao is so smart."
