Chapter 58 [Big Brother’s Heart Knot]
The graduation trip ended successfully. This time Ge Xian did not leave, but returned with everyone, and there were no more accidents on the way.
After arriving in Cangluo County, Ge Xian discovered that he had become a big star and spokesperson in his hometown. As soon as he got off the car, he was surrounded by media from the city, county and surrounding provinces who heard the news. He was frightened. After barely coping with a wave of attacks, he immediately ran away from them.
When I arrived at my home community, I found that there were reporters at the door. I immediately changed my appearance and finally managed to get through.
Fortunately, he made a last-minute phone call to go home, and then he successfully entered the house. He was inevitably praised by the neighbors, and he had to be a good role model to others. It is estimated that other peers in the residential building hated him. Teeth itchy.
"Mom and Dad... Hey, sister, why are you here? Brother... you..." As soon as Ge Xian entered the door, he saw a family portrait. Oh, and with his own addition, it became a family portrait.
Unexpectedly, his sister Ge Honglian also brought her boyfriend, and his eldest brother Ge Changqing also brought his sister-in-law and nephew, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Xiaoxian, you are promising now. You are not happy when my sister comes back. You can be patient!" Hearing Ge Honglian's familiar sarcastic voice, Ge Xian felt moved. It is better to stay at home. Wearing a mask outside is really tiring.
"Sister, please restrain yourself. If you are so careless, you may not get married." Ge Xian was no longer afraid of Ge Honglian and teased.
Ge Honglian's face suddenly turned red. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a while, her brother had changed a lot. He even knew how to make fun of her. It was as if the younger brother who was a bit dull and shy in society had changed.
She stepped forward and grabbed Ge Xian's face and pulled her back and forth. The pain made Ge Xian want to punch her. This second sister was really terrifying. She looked at the shy older boy next to her and couldn't help but feel... Give him a sympathetic look.
Fortunately, Ge's mother came out. When she saw this scene, she immediately scolded the two of them with a straight face, and then the family gathered together to finish the meal.
My sister-in-law is a very particular person, and she seemed a bit picky the few times she came to the house, but now she is no longer picky, and she seems to be happy with it, showing a suitable warm family atmosphere.
"This woman..." Ge Xian looked at his unsmiling brother and felt that this couple might be quite tired.
Fortunately, the cute nephew was adorable. Ge Xian picked him up and ravaged him. He found that there was a bit of moisture and cold on his body, so he used the spiritual power of Xiaoyao Jue to remove it. Suddenly, the little nephew felt extremely comfortable and liked this even more. His sister-in-law was very surprised by this. Only she understood that her son was very picky.
After finishing the meal, Ge Xian was pulled by Ge's father to sign a bunch of names. The reason was that the neighbors in his neighborhood wanted some signatures of the Number One Scholar. In ancient times, they called them Mo Bao, but now they call them signatures. They all mean the same thing. .
After signing, Ge Xian found Ge's mother, handed her his bank card, and said, "Mom, this is the scholarship I won during this period, take it."
After taking it, Mother Ge asked: "Son, you have graduated now and are going to college soon. You have to keep some money around. You can just hand over half of it."
Ge Xian scratched his scalp and said, "Mom, I usually don't need much money."
"You will need it when you go to college. The consumption in college is not as high as in high school." Ge Mu said in the tone of someone who has experienced it.
Ge Xian continued to scratch his scalp and said, "Mom, there are more than two million here. If you ask me to take one million to college, aren't you afraid that I will be a bad student?"
"Ah, so many?" Ge's mother was shocked, and quickly called Ge's father in, and then pulled Ge Xian into the bedroom.
Father Ge was also shocked after hearing this. The couple had worked for half their lives and had never saved so much. Their son had earned so much money after just one high school education. No wonder the ancestor said well, there is a gold house in the book. It turns out that it is true. of.
As a result, Ge's father and Ge's mother finally decided to temporarily keep the bank card at home for the sake of Ge Xian's growth and to prevent him from becoming bad after he got money, and then give him an extra thousand yuan for living expenses every month.
"Mom and Dad, why don't our family buy another house?" Ge Xian suggested.
"What can I change it for? This kid wants to spend it as soon as he earns it and save it to earn interest." Ge Mu refused with a wave of her hand.
Father Ge also patted his head and said: "This money will be reserved for your wedding in the future. Although the house is a bit small, you are used to living in it and don't want to change it. Besides, you are going to college now, and your family is It’s more spacious.”
"Mom and Dad, my eldest brother is back this time. I think about how he had a fight with you before so that I could have a separate room. If our family had a big house at that time, wouldn't it be possible?" Ge Xian couldn't bear it. The commander said what was in his heart.
Ge's father and Ge's mother were silent for a while, and then the couple kicked him out together, on the grounds that they should stay out of adults' affairs.
"You have obviously said that I am an adult, but now you treat me like a child... Sigh!" Ge Xian shook his head, feeling that his idea of changing the house for his family would not succeed. The consumption concept of his parents' generation was deeply ingrained. Yes, depositing money in the bank to earn interest is the safest and most secure option.
Not far out of his parents' bedroom, he met his hesitant eldest brother.
Ge Xian is a little unfamiliar with his eldest brother, mainly because his eldest brother has always felt that he lost the love of his parents because of his birth. In addition, he quarreled with his parents and moved out, so he has always been lukewarm towards him. He is also a little worried about Ge Changqing.
"Brother..." Ge Xian found that his mentality was indeed more mature, unlike before where he just wanted to escape, but this may be related to his ability becoming very powerful. He has strong self-confidence and can help people around him solve some problems. Trouble, even in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a big trouble.
Ge Changqing was stunned for a moment, then stopped, turned around, and then looked at his brother in front of him.
Ge Xian is already a handsome young man of 1.8 meters, while Ge Changqing is only 1.75 meters. Feeling the pressure from his younger brother, he still can't believe that Ge Xian is his younger brother, and it turns out that his younger brother is so powerful.
"San'er, do you have time to go out for a walk?" Ge Changqing asked tentatively.
"Okay, wait while I change my clothes." Ge Xian nodded at him, then quickly went into the room and changed into a pair of sweatshirts with a hood so that he could cover his face.
Ge Changqing originally thought that Ge Xian was putting on a show, but suddenly he thought that his brother was no longer an ordinary person, but a public figure like a big star. If he took to the street rashly, he would definitely be surrounded by reporters.
Sure enough, when Ge Xian lowered his head and followed Ge Changqing out of the residential building, he found that there were still reporters below who refused to leave. They wanted to get exclusive interviews. These people had sneaked in. The police station had sent people to evacuate before. After a wave, police officers were left on guard, which allowed those shark-like reporters to retreat.
It was a good thing that no one was suspected. After all, except for Ge Xian, others were not taken seriously, and interviewing these ordinary residents had no news value.
"Huh..." Ge Xian breathed out a breath of fresh air. The streets at night were more beautiful than during the day, especially under the lights.
Ge Changqing lit another cigarette and said, "It seems like we brothers haven't been alone together for a long time, right?"
"Well, it's been many years..." Ge Xian sighed. The relationship between his eldest brother and his family had always been a knot in his parents' hearts. He hoped to untie it when he left Cangluo County.
Seeing that Ge Xian was not used to the smoke, Ge Changqing immediately put out the cigarette and stuffed it into a trash can specially designed for cigarettes by the roadside.
"I don't know what to say. I actually don't want to come back this time. I don't know why. I always feel that you have suddenly become a big star, so I still want to be lukewarm to you. , It can’t be justified both emotionally and rationally. After all, I’ve hated you a little bit since the day you were born.” Ge Changqing’s straightforward words still shocked Ge Xian, and he was also a little sad. In a sense, his birth took away his parents. This is an unavoidable fact about his love.
There is no right or wrong, just human nature.
The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son. He just happened to be the youngest son.
"Brother, actually I..." Ge Xiang just wanted to say a few words of comfort, but was interrupted by Ge Changqing.
"Don't say anything yet. I will say what I have been holding in my heart for these years. This will make me feel much better and let you understand some of the situation and my true thoughts." Ge Changqing stretched out his hand to stop me.
Ge Xian nodded and said nothing more. Since the elder brother had been suffering for more than ten years, it was time to let him vent.
Ge Changqing continued: "San'er, I always thought that without you, I would be happier and more comfortable, and I would not quarrel with my parents. Do you know that before we moved into this community, our family lived in a worse place? , when I moved into this community, I was really happy because I had my own independent room for the first time. I made that room the way I like, saving money on breakfast and other pocket money. I feel That room has always belonged to me, and I will still marry the person I like here in the future and live together until you appear."
After a pause, Ge Changqing continued: "It's a pity that your appearance shattered my dream. I found that my parents had devoted their efforts and love to you, but no longer paid so much attention to me. So, I began to hate you and thought Without you, then I would be my parents' only son and would inherit everything in the family. So when my parents asked me to give up this bedroom, I resisted very fiercely, and in the end I fell out with the family and moved out. I went out to live, and I didn’t invite my parents until I got married, but after that I had very little contact with my family. I have always held a grudge, and I don’t want to see you anymore.”
"Brother..." Ge Xian's nose became sour. Even though he knew that Ge Changqing had hated him for many years, he still felt sorry for him. Indeed, without him, his eldest brother would be the only son in the family, loved by his parents. Unfortunately, because of his Appearing and taking away this love made him miserable.
Ge Changqing wiped away his tears and continued: "I know this is extreme and selfish, but I have also asked myself, if it were you and I were you, would you accept it?"
"I..." Ge Xian couldn't answer. This question is very tortured by human nature. If he were the eldest brother and faced the same situation, then maybe he would run away from home.
"So I have wanted to forget about my family all these years and have only kept very limited contact. I thought I would never reconcile with you in this life. It wasn't until last year that my parents began to contact me proactively again, apologizing for their actions back then. In view of your current situation, please ask me to forgive my family and hope that I can come back to the market. Although I said yes, I can't get over this hurdle in my heart." Ge Changqing was already in tears at this time. In his impression, he only remembered that his eldest brother cried twice. The first time was after he had a falling out with his family, he cried and packed up his bags and left decisively. The second time was right before his eyes.
Ge Xian stepped forward to hold Ge Changqing's arm and said: "Brother, you have suffered for so many years. I have made you endure so many grievances. Don't blame your parents. They may have been extreme at times, but they never thought about it. Intentionally hurting you."
"I..." Ge Changqing was trembling all over, crying for the first time in front of his brother. He felt that the grievances of more than ten years had turned into hot tears, and most of them flowed away at this moment, until he calmed down.
"Brother, how have you been at your sister-in-law's house these years?" Ge Xian asked.
Ge Changqing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm like a son-in-law who comes to the house and is looked down upon. She also has a spoiled temper and doesn't know how to be considerate. If it weren't for Taotao, I would have wanted a divorce."
Ge Tao is his little nephew. He is very cute and only four years old this year.
"Is it because I think you are poor and have no family support, so I bully you?" Ge Xian's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He hated others bullying his family the most. Sometimes it was even more unbearable than bullying himself.
Ge Changqing nodded and admitted: "I mean, my job has not been very stable in recent years and I can't make much money, so your sister-in-law always doesn't like me, and my father-in-law even asked your sister-in-law to follow me. I was divorced and married to someone else.”
There was a sound of twisting steel bars, and Ge Xian bent the street lamp poles in anger. Ge Changqing was shocked and wondered when this younger brother had so much strength.
Fortunately, he realized it immediately and quickly twisted it in the opposite direction. Although it was not completely restored to its original shape, you couldn't tell it without looking carefully.
"Brother, if you don't talk to each other, your life will not be satisfactory, and your family will not be happy. If it was before, there was nothing you could do if your family couldn't help you, but now...my brother, I can help you." Ge Xian's confident eyes made Ge Changqing dizzy, and suddenly she felt that she had underestimated him.
However, Ge Changqing did not take it seriously, but comforted him: "Don't be stupid, you have just graduated. How can you help me? Although you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination, it will take at least a few years to realize it. Study hard and find a good job in the future." It is best to work in the city of God. If you can be favored by the wealthy families in the city of God, you may be able to make a leap forward and really soar into the sky."
Ge Changqing went to university in Shendu. Unfortunately, he had no relatives and persisted for a year or two after graduation before having to return to Cangluo County. In his words, in Shendu, ordinary people can only make ends meet. Always just the bottom.
"The Capital of God? A big family? I will go there..." Ge Xian looked toward the northeast of the Capital of God, filled with a sense of arrogance.
Ge Changqing was very emotional when he saw it. He graduated from high school with excellent grades and had great ambitions, but he failed and returned sadly. He didn't want to hurt Ge Xian, so he didn't say anything.
"By the way, brother, you still live at your sister-in-law's house, right?" Ge Xian asked.
"Then it's definitely unrealistic to buy a house alone. My salary can only cover daily consumption, and I can't save much money. Your sister-in-law relies on the fact that her family is very rich, so she has never thought of living out. She probably also thinks that it is impossible for me to live in this life. You must be buying a house." Ge Changqing smiled to himself.
Ge Xian's eyes lit up, he immediately took out his mobile phone, opened the Xijiang Bank APP, and said to Ge Changqing: "Brother, I'm not saying whether to help or not. After hearing your difficulties, my brother felt that he must help you. First of all, it's convenient." You are investing your own money to buy a house. You tell me how much you need to buy a house, and I can support you."
Ge Changqing smiled and thought that children are indeed very naughty. Is it true that a house can be bought just by buying it? He knew that Ge Xian currently had many scholarships, but they were probably all given to his parents. It seemed unrealistic to ask his parents to buy him a house. After all, Ge Xian would buy a house and get married in the future, so his parents would definitely leave him this deposit.
"Boy, you gave me all your scholarship money. I'll take it. I'll figure out how to buy a house myself. After all, a person only has one house in his lifetime. I'm still young and I can always get ahead." Ge Changqing is not yet thirty. Although he was married to a well-off wife, it did not bring him much happiness. On the contrary, it only made him feel stressed and heavy.
Seeing that Ge Changqing didn't believe him, Ge Xian said angrily: "Brother, please tell me your card number and I will call you right away."
"Okay, San'er, you're very enthusiastic, then you can transfer one million to me. My card number is..." Seeing that this boy refused to admit defeat, Ge Changqing reported his bank card number to him angrily, thinking to himself , don’t think that you are awesome now that you are the No. 1 Scholar. It will only take a minute for me to teach you a lesson.
While Ge Xian was transferring the money, Ge Changqing was still teaching Ge Xian: Don't be too impulsive and do things according to your ability. Otherwise, you will suffer a lot when studying abroad in college, and you will suffer a lot after working.
Ding dong!
The phone rang, it was a text message or a social app prompt. Ge Changqing stopped talking. He didn't want to read it at first. They were basically harassing text messages, but he was worried that it was from his wife.
When I opened it, I saw a text message about changes in bank balance. The content was very simple. Ge Xiaoyao transferred 1,000,000 yuan to your bank card with the last number being XXXX. The current balance...
"Holy shit... am I blind?" Ge Changqing rubbed his eyes, raised his head and looked at Ge Xian, who raised his chin and looked proudly at the night sky, acting like a kid who said I'm awesome, please praise me.
Ge Changqing counted it more than ten times to make sure it was not a scammer's text message. He also opened the bank APP to check the balance. It was really one million that had just been received.
"Who is Ge Xiaoyao?" Ge Changqing asked puzzledly.
Ge Xian snorted, pointed his nostrils at his eldest brother, and said, "It's me, your brother!"
"Damn it, this stupid brother is so rich? Can you make money by studying?" Ge Changqing felt that tonight was a bit magical. Just now, she felt a little embarrassed that she was crying in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, she got one million, and suddenly felt Those tears of mine are so valuable.
