Not long after, Su Wenian, Su Xiaosi and Su Xiaowu all came back.
Su Wennian hugged his eldest brother and called him warmly, "Brother!"
"Third brother, why are you so thin?" Su Zhiyuan thought of the embarrassing situation of the third brother and felt very sorry for him.
Hey, how come the college entrance examination was canceled after everything was going well? Nowadays, intellectuals are still being called stinky old people...
No matter what others say, he feels that people who are well-read and educated should not be belittled.
"Third brother, don't think too much. This policy changes every year. Maybe the college entrance examination will be resumed next year. I still remember a few years ago when I went home and asked you what university you wanted to go to in the future. You said you wanted to go to the Academy of Fine Arts to study oil painting.
I believe this dream will come true."
Having said this, he went back to the room, opened his luggage bag, took out a box of painting paints and handed it to Wennian.
"This is..." Su Wennian took the white box from his elder brother in surprise.
The words "Oil Paint" are written in ink characters on the box. The pinyin is marked below. The bottom row says "Art Paint Factory". When the box is opened, there are five paints in total, namely violet, flesh color, and light yellow.
, emerald green and ultramarine blue.
Su Wennian had only painted gouache before, and this was his first time owning oil paints.
"How much did it cost you? Oil paints are very expensive..."
Su Zhiyuan said with a smile: "What's money without money? It's useless to save the money I earn. I don't smoke or drink. I don't like reading and I don't have any hobbies."
When I came back by train a few days ago, I had to wait for most of the day to change trains. I was looking for gifts in a department store and happened to see this box of paints. I thought it would be perfect to give it to you."
Seeing that the third brother had a gift, Su Xiaosi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, you are so partial, why did you only prepare a gift for the third brother? Where are Xiaowu and I? And Jinbao, you didn't buy it for Jinbao.
Gift……"
"Who said I didn't buy you a gift? Here, this is a gift for you and Xiao Wu." Su Zhiyuan handed each of his fourth brother and fifth brother a pencil box. On the pencil box, there were drawings of several boys hiding in a banana.
Ye Xia, holding a machine gun in his hand.
The big words on the far right are "Blow the American Emperor."
"I like it!" Su Xiaowu said happily, "Thank you, brother."
If it were in the past, Su Xiaosi would definitely have said that he didn't like this gift. He was too lazy to listen to classes and do homework, so this pencil case was of no use to him. But because he had promised his eldest brother to study hard, he opened it without saying a word.
I put my schoolbag and put all the pens that were scattered in a mess into the pencil box.
"Brother," Su Xiaowu asked, "What do you want to give Jin Bao?"
Su Zhiyuan said with a smile: "I have been thinking about choosing a gift for Jin Bao for a long time. I didn't know what to buy. Later, when I was choosing, I saw that this rabbit piggy bank is very beautiful. It is as cute and smart as Jin Bao, so I bought it."
As he spoke, he took out a white porcelain rabbit from his bag. The little rabbit was cute and naive and exquisitely made.
"So cute!" Jinbao took the piggy bank, his beautiful big eyes full of joy.
Her eldest brother told her, "You can put coins under the piggy bank. I don't have many coins in my hand, but I put a few five-cent coins in it. You put it on the desk, and the side of her ear can also be used as a pen holder."
"
"Thank you, big brother, I like this gift so much!"
"As long as Jinbao likes it!" Su Zhiyuan smiled and touched his sister's head.
Xu Damei stood not far away, thinking that Brother Zhiyuan had not changed at all, he was still so warm...
Worried that she would fall into the abyss of falling in love with him again, she quickly looked away and ran into the kitchen to help with the work.
Su Jianmin originally wanted to persuade Zhiyuan to save money. He was almost old enough to marry a wife, so he still had to save more money. But then he thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with him buying some gifts for his younger brothers and sisters. It was not a waste of money.
"Your Zhiyuan is such a good boy," Xu Qiang sincerely praised him. "There is nothing wrong with him. I guess because he is the eldest son, he is mature and steady. He is not impatient and can endure hardships..."
If Zhiyuan could become his son-in-law in the future, he would definitely laugh out of his dreams.
Su Jianmin said with a smile: "I am not praising my son. Zhiyuan is really good. He has known how to care for his mother since he was a child. He has already started to help take care of his younger brother when he was only five or six years old. At that time, he helped change Wennian's diapers."
.
But I was naughty when I was little, always fighting with my younger brother for food, haha. As I grow older, I become more sensible and act like a big brother."
When he praised his eldest son, his tone was full of pride, and he had a sense of accomplishment that he had finally raised his son to be a talented person.
While the two of them were chatting, Bai Lu had already prepared all the meals.
She brought the dishes to the table and asked doubtfully, "Where's Xing'er? Why didn't you see her?"
After hearing what her mother said, Jinbao looked around for a while and asked doubtfully: "Mom, isn't my cousin in the kitchen with you?"
"No, she went out early in the morning and said she had something to do. I don't know why she hasn't come back yet."
Su Zhiyuan learned about cousin Bai Xing from her mother's letter.
The uncle left them and went to Taiwan, and the aunt...
Hey, I feel that she is quite pitiful, having encountered such a big change.
Just as Su Zhiyuan was thinking of this, the door was opened from the outside, and the person who came in was Bai Xing.
"Oh," Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Myolie, you are finally back. I was worried about you."
"I'm sorry, aunt, I originally planned to come back in the afternoon to help you, but I didn't expect to come back so late..."
With that said, she looked at Su Zhiyuan and said with a smile: "Cousin Zhiyuan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. If I remember correctly, the last time I saw you was on New Year's Eve several years ago."
"Yeah, it's been two or three years," Su Zhiyuan said.
Bai Lu pulled Bai Xing to her side and didn't ask where she had gone. She just said, "Hurry up and sit down. The food is ready."
Jinbao noticed that his cousin opened his mouth, looking like he was hesitating to speak, as if he had something to say, so he asked her: "Cousin, where were you before? How come you were gone all day?"
"I..." Bai Xing pursed her lips, looked at her aunt, and said hesitantly, "Aunt, I have something to tell you. I..."
For a moment, everyone looked at her.
Bai Xing's expression showed embarrassment, and it seemed a little difficult to speak.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Bai Lu asked, "What's going on? Just say what you want to say."
"Yes, we are a family, what can't we say?"
After hearing what her uncle said, Bai Xing finally said, "I'm moving out tomorrow."
"What?" Her aunt's eyes widened in surprise, "Why do you want to move out when you are so good?"
Su Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it because I came back to stay for a few days and you think it's inconvenient because there are too many people?"
"No, no," Bai Xing waved her hand hurriedly, "I moved out because I found a job."
