Chapter 216 215. Your father no longer likes you after he has a younger brother
Daddy is pregnant with a little boy.
Little Jiang believed it without a doubt and liked his little brother very much. Before his brother's birth date was even known, Little Jiang, as the older brother, started preparing gifts for him.
I want to give my favorite toys, the wooden horse and the wooden sword, to my younger brother. I also want to give my treasured things, the white and round pebbles picked up from the river, the colorful fallen leaf bookmarks made in autumn, and the colorful butterfly and beetle specimens to my younger brother.
He even wanted to give the picture book his father gave him, Jiang's favorite "Fairy Tales", to his cute little brother.
Little Jiang wanted to wait until his younger brother was born, sleep in the same bed with him, and read stories to him, just like his daddy, his grandfather, and his brother Xiaobao read to him.
At dinner time, Xiao Shengjiang was eating his favorite braised pork when he suddenly thought of his younger brother. He ran to the kitchen, got a small bowl, and put the two largest pieces of meat in it.
Zhou Yi was a little puzzled and amused when he saw it, and asked him, "Why don't you put it in your own bowl, but in the small bowl?"
"Because I want to leave some for my younger brother!"
Little Ginger smiled and said excitedly, "The braised pork is delicious. I want my brother to have some too."
"I see."
Zhou Yi smiled grimly, touched little Sheng Jiang's head, and said with praise, "Sheng Jiang is such a good brother. When his little brother is born, he will definitely like little Sheng Jiang very much."
"Hehe~"
Little Ginger smiled shyly and said expectantly, "Ginger likes his brother too!"
"Father knows."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "But my little brother won't be born for a long time, not until next spring. Braised pork spoils easily and won't be kept for that long. Can you help my little brother eat the ginger first?"
“That’s been so long!”
Ginger was very surprised.
"yes!"
Zhou Yi also imitated the little ginger and showed a surprised expression, but then he felt himself to be childish, laughed in his heart, and felt that he was becoming more and more like Lei Li.
"My little brother is sleeping in Daddy's belly. He will need to sleep for almost nine months before waking up. When Jiang was in Daddy's belly before, he also slept for a long time before meeting Daddy and Grandfather."
"Does ginger sometimes sleep for so long?"
Little Jiang was unbelievable. He could only sleep for five hours at most now. Most of the time he woke up after sleeping for more than four hours. He was not as good as before.
But if I keep sleeping, I can’t go to school, play with my brother Xiaobao and my friends, or eat delicious braised pork.
Little Ginger felt that he couldn't sleep too long, and felt a little sympathetic towards his younger brother. He said, "Brother, you are sleeping, so I have to help you eat the braised pork. Brother, please wake up quickly, so you can eat the meat when you wake up!"
"You can't eat meat even if you wake up."
Lei Li came over and joked, "My little brother didn't have any teeth when he was born. His mouth is completely bare, and his hair is completely bare too. He doesn't look good at all."
"Would the little ginger girl dislike her bald brother?"
"Of course not!"
Little Jiang shook his head firmly and said righteously, "The Master said that judging people by appearance is wrong. You can't dislike someone just because they are not good-looking. If someone is very good-looking but does something bad, you can't forgive them just because they are good-looking."
"Wow!"
Lei Li's expression was exaggerated with surprise. He smiled and praised Xiao Sheng Jiang, "Xiao Sheng Jiang is so great?"
"Of course!"
Little Jiang smiled shyly, a little proudly, "Jiang was very serious in class. I learned a lot and read a lot of books!"
Lei Li praised Little Jiang again and again until Little Jiang felt embarrassed. His face flushed with smiles, and then he said, "When Little Jiang was born, he had no teeth and no hair at all. He was a little bald head."
"Ginger doesn't have teeth or hair, right?"
Little Jiang was shocked. He touched his head and then his teeth. "But Jiang has hair and teeth now... Did Jiang grow up and then gradually develop teeth and hair? Just like his brother Erhua?"
Erhua is Liu Xiaocao's youngest son and Taoger's younger brother.
"yes."
Liu Ye'er also smiled. "All babies are like this. They don't have them when they are born, but they will develop them as they grow up. When Jiang grows up a little bit, he will also have to change his teeth."
"You need to replace your teeth?"
The little ginger opened his eyes wide in shock and subconsciously covered his mouth.
"Everyone has to change their teeth at a certain age."
Zhou Yi explained the difference between deciduous teeth and permanent teeth, but Xiao Shengjiang's attention was distracted. He frowned and looked worried. "Did Jiang also have gaps when his teeth changed? Just like Erniu in the class."
Little Ginger is almost five years old.
I went to school with my brother Xiaobao when I was over two years old. Because I was too young, attending classes was almost like playing, and I didn’t remember anything. I had to repeat the first grade when I was three years old, and was successfully promoted to the second grade when I was four years old.
Because the village school is more of an enlightenment literacy school, the courses are not difficult and the exams are all based on the original content of the textbooks, so the five-year-old Jiang successfully read to the third grade.
There are quite a few children in the third grade who are changing their teeth, but everyone thinks that changing teeth is not good-looking. Few children openly say that they have gaps in their teeth. Some children even cover them up deliberately and dare not show their teeth when they smile.
Erniu just replaced his front teeth, which was discovered by Xiao Shengjiang at the first sight.
Erniu wanted to save face, so he said that he was running too fast and accidentally fell down, which caused him to break his teeth. After hearing this, Xiaoshengjiang didn't dare to run too fast for a few days, for fear that he would also break his teeth and look ugly.
Little Jiang has to pay attention to his appearance, because brother Xiaobao is handsome, and Little Jiang wants to be as good-looking as brother Xiaobao. Sometimes when he wears new clothes, he will look at himself in the mirror for a long time before running to show his brother Xiaobao and listen to his brother's praise.
"yes."
Zhou Yi comforted the little ginger, "But they will grow out soon. The new teeth will be stronger and more beautiful than the small teeth now. Then the little ginger will be more beautiful."
"Really?"
Little Ginger smiled again, "Then Ginger needs to change his teeth quickly! After his new teeth grow, Ginger won't eat sugar anymore. Daddy said eating too much sugar is bad for the teeth."
But the little guy really likes sweets. After saying that, he raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and changed his words, "Just a little bit of sugar with ginger is fine. Brush your teeth right after eating the sugar, so that your new teeth won't be damaged."
The little guy thought he was very clever, and smiled with a bit of pride, which made the adults laugh.
Little Jiang was looking forward to the arrival of his younger brother very much. He even started learning to read stories, trying to read them as vividly as his brother Xiaobao so that his younger brother would like him as soon as he heard them.
But at times like this, there are always those annoying people who like to make sarcastic remarks and make children cry.
Little Jiang now feels that he is a big kid. He doesn’t need his father to pick him up after school. He can go home with his brother Xiaobao. Today is no exception.
And Erniu was picked up by his father.
Little Jiang was very polite. When he met Erniu's father, he even said hello, "Uncle."
“It’s ginger.”
Erniu's father smiled wryly, pulled his son Erniu, rolled his eyes, and said, "I heard your father is going to have a brother? Jiang, you don't know, your father won't like you anymore when he has a brother."
"No way!"
Little Ginger raised his chin and said confidently, "Daddy and Grandpa like Ginger, so they will still like Ginger even if I have a younger brother. And Ginger also likes my younger brother, so my younger brother will definitely like Brother Ginger too."
"Ouch!"
Erniu's father added, "What the uncle said is true. The baby was so cute when he was born, with a small nose and a small mouth, just like the puppies in your family, Shengjiang. How adorable."
"The little baby can't talk and is very clingy. Your daddy will have to accompany your little brother all day, feeding and dressing him, and even giving him your toys to play with."
"When your brother cries, all your father and father will see is your brother. How can they care about you?"
"You're lying!"
Little Jiang didn't believe it. He frowned and said seriously, "Uncle, our teacher said that what you did is called sowing discord and making things up. Both are bad. You should apologize to me."
"Hey you kid!"
Erniu's father had never been educated and didn't know what sowing discord meant. He only heard the word "间" and thought Shengjiang meant "贱", so he became unhappy.
"If you don't like to hear the truth, just wait and see. When your little brother is born, will your daddy rush to comfort him as soon as he cries? Will he be talking about your little brother every other sentence?"
"When your brother becomes a better student than you, let's see who your father will give the family fortune to: you or your brother!"
Erniu's father snorted heavily, dragged Erniu away with a twisted waist.
Erniu's father doesn't like Lei Shengjiang because he thinks Lei Li is biased. It is clearly stated that children can only go to school at the age of six, but his Lei Shengjiang started going to school when he was just over two years old.
As a result, his son Erniu had to play outside naked when he was two or three years old and could not go to school. He missed the best opportunity to start his education and is now much dumber than Lei Shengjiang from the Lei family.
Why did his son Erniu only score over 40 points in the last exam, while Lei Shengjiang scored over 80?
It must be that Lei Shengjiang started studying early and received special tutoring from the teacher at the school, which is why he is so good.
He knew that several teachers in the school had a good relationship with the Lei family and sometimes went to the Lei family for dinner. If the Lei family hadn't given them money to cook for them, why would they go to the Lei family instead of his?
A little bit of rice is a favor, and a big bit of rice is a grudge.
Some people are just stupid and bad like that.
When you do a good thing, the beneficiary will be grateful at first, but over time, if something does not suit his wishes or does not go his way, he will hold a grudge and think you are wrong everywhere.
Even if we take a step back, even if the Lei family, even if Lei Li and Zhou Yi really asked the teacher at the school to give Jiang special lessons, and really let Jiang go to school early so that he could surpass other children, so what?
The teacher was hired by the Lei family, and the school was built by the Lei family. It was completely a loss for the children in the village to go to school. What's wrong with giving their own family some exception?
If you have the ability, you can make your family as powerful as yours and invite a teacher to teach you at home!
