"Yes, I am your big brother and I will take care of you for the rest of your life." I didn't think carefully about the meaning of her words. At that time, I really just wanted to take care of her for the rest of my life.
The first is our relationship. We have known each other since kindergarten. After more than ten years of ups and downs, she is no different from my biological sister. It is my duty to take care of her.
Second, I made a promise to Teacher Qiao by taking care of her. She left with regret before she died. I don’t want to feel sorry for Teacher Qiao and want her soul to rest in peace.
Over the years, I would often accompany He Huanhuan to visit Teacher Qiao's grave. Every time, she would kneel in front of the grave and touch Teacher Qiao's tombstone for a long time, with deep longing for her mother in her eyes.
It is a pity that the cause of Teacher Qiao's death has not been revealed until now, but I feel that God will punish that bitch Yin Wenqian one day.
I get very angry every time I mention her. In the past four years, Yin Wenqian and her daughter have bullied He Huanhuan more and more, not treating her as a human being.
Not only was He Huanhuan often asked to do heavy work, but he was not even given any clothes.
The new clothes that Teacher Qiao bought for her last time have been worn for more than two years. The cotton-padded jacket is shiny and shiny, the cotton is exposed on the sleeves, and the toes of the shoes are exposed.
If my grandma hadn't bought her new clothes, He Huanhuan would probably have nothing to wear.
He Huanhuan was even more grateful to us for this, saying that he would make money to repay us when he grew up, but for me, He Huanhuan's happiness is the greatest reward for me.
Fortunately, when we entered junior high school and stayed in school, He Huanhuan's bullying gradually eased, but when we went home on weekends, we were still inevitably whipped by Yin Wenqian.
In the past four years, I have changed a lot. I have grown to 1.65 meters, with sharp features, big eyes, and a energetic young man.
But my studies got worse and worse after the fifth grade. Until the first year of junior high school, I was honored to be given a seat in the last row by the teacher, and I was honored to be a poor student.
Even though He Huanhuan, who was very good at studying, tried to help me with tutoring many times, I had no interest at all, was absent-minded, and my grades did not improve. The idea of not wanting to go to school became even stronger.
I thought, after finishing the first year of junior high school, I might as well drop out of school. It’s not interesting, and I personally feel that going to school is useless.
Because at the age of fourteen, I had already begun to make money. During the winter and summer vacations of these four years, my grandma would take me around to see things, which gave me a lot of experience.
Gradually, I also took over some small jobs that I could do, although they were all helping villagers find lost cattle and sheep, or simply giving away little ghosts.
But after a long period of accumulation, not only can I make a little money, but I have also gradually become famous. As long as it is not a big problem, my grandma will give me small jobs.
However, in the past four years, grandma and grandpa have aged a lot. They are over seventy, and their backs are no longer straight, but have become rickets.
There are many wrinkles on the kind face and a lot of gray hair. Fortunately, my grandpa's body is quite strong. But my grandma often coughs, which makes me very worried. I have been to the big hospital many times, but nothing has been diagnosed. This is why.
On the contrary, my mother's mental condition has improved a lot in the past four years. She almost no longer hits others when she is sick, and she can communicate with me more simply.
What makes our whole family the happiest is that after graduation, my eldest sister found a good job in Hualian City. I heard that she was working in a securities company.
At the age of twenty-four, she was slim and tall, and she even found a boyfriend with good conditions. Regarding this, Aunt Guijuan, who looked down on our family, had a big change in her view of our family.
This is the principle that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
And my eldest brother, who is eight years older than me, has also made great progress.
From the beginning as a hairdressing apprentice, I have entered the stage of practicing cutting hair. Every time I go home, I will be used as a head model to practice cutting hair.
The haircut I gave him looked like that of a stray cat lost in the wilderness...
In the past four years, my eldest aunt, second aunt, and old uncle have also come here several times. I have only a casual acquaintance with them and their children, and I have little contact with them, which is to say that I feel sorry for them on the surface.
What surprises me is that Gongsun Tianqiang has changed a lot. He is not as arrogant and domineering as he was in the past few years. He has become more powerful, but the gene that looks down on me is still there.
What makes me depressed is that his cultivation level has reached the late stage of refining qi, and with his own enterprising spirit, he has carved a small niche in the city.
I heard that the number of people who came to him to look after things was no less than that of a successful master. Aunt Guijuan was so proud of this that she even suggested that he drop out of school and work in society to make money.
The aunt's uncle was engaged in business and did not care about family affairs, so he had no objection to the aunt's suggestions. Gongsun Tianqiang agreed with them, saying that he had not wanted to go to school for a long time.
Regarding Gongsun Tianqiang's ability, grandma felt something was wrong. She always said that he was a little evil, but she couldn't see the specifics, so she could only let him go.
Gongsun Tianqiang wanted to drop out of school and enter the society to make money, so I developed a sense of comparison. I wished I could enter the society immediately and become a college student so that I could compare with him.
In the past four years, through practicing meditation, my state has reached the mid-level state of the First Zen Heaven, which is a small state behind Gongsun Tianqiang. It makes me a little depressed, but there's nothing I can do about it.
The path of spiritual practice is more difficult than I imagined. If I don’t rush it, pursuing the speed of improving my realm is equivalent to pulling back the seedlings and encouraging the growth of the wheat, which is of no benefit.
Time flies so fast, half a year after the first grade of junior high school, I already had the idea of dropping out of school and decided not to study in the second grade of junior high school. Regarding this matter, I discussed this matter with my grandma and dad.
At first, I thought my father would object strongly. After all, he was not very educated and he definitely hoped that his children would all go to college and succeed.
But after seeing that I had the ability to make money at the age of fourteen, I didn't object too much. I just said dullly, "Huh, don't regret it if you don't go to school. Just don't blame me when you grow up."
I said I didn't go to school voluntarily. How could I blame you?
My grandma and grandpa advised me to finish junior high school anyway, but my stubborn temper got stronger, and even though they doted on me, they didn't take advantage of me and just let me go.
I suddenly felt like a trapped beast was out of its cage. There were still nearly ten days of vacation, so I basically stopped going to school, and the teacher didn’t bother to care about me, a poor student.
For teachers, if a poor student like me drops out of school and does not affect the learning of good students, it is already a contribution to society.
Moreover, I took on a big job yesterday. After an old man died in a nearby village, there were often footsteps outside the window at night, which scared the children and kept them awake.
Then I approached my grandma and asked her to come over and take a look. I thought the old lady was going to take away one or two of them when she came back.
Grandma calculated it with her fingers and said it was nothing serious, and asked me to go see something. The family was surprised and doubted my ability, saying how could a child like me solve this problem? Isn't this nonsense?
Although I was a little frightened, it was okay. After all, I had the experience of seeing people alone, and my courage was also tempered.
