Zhao Rong is treated more favorably in other aspects. It can be said that all aspects of his life are much higher than others. Not to mention the clothes he wears all year round, he always has more clothes than other brothers and sisters.
Double the amount, and the usual pocket money is far ahead of the other siblings.
But in fact, all this money means nothing to Zhao Rong. Because, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, he needs to go to the old gentleman to study every day. Even if the old gentleman is ill or has no thoughts
Go to teach Zhao Rong, but Zhao Rong still needs to stay in the school for a full day.
Even if he is alone and faced with a room full of books that he cannot understand, he still has to stay in the school for enough time before he can come out.
But Zhao Rong had no way to object to such a request. After all, his brothers and sisters also needed to study. The time his brothers usually spent studying at home was almost the same as the time he spent in school, and his sisters also had
The nuns taught.
So even though Zhao Rong felt that he didn't learn anything by staying in the school every day, except that he became more disappointed day by day and lost more and more confidence in his talent, he didn't learn anything at all. Even if he barely knew
The words "" were completely memorized by force on his own. When it came to the surface, he couldn't find any reason to ask himself not to study in the school.
As for Xiao Tao, Zhao Rong became even more cold-hearted. He couldn't get rid of this person and wanted to keep him by his side. He didn't stand with him at all. Instead, he stood beside him and kept looking at him with his eyes.
Observing his every move, his ears were raised high, listening to any sound that happened on his side. If anything happened, he would quickly report it to the master and his wife. This feeling of suffocation made him
Zhao Rong becomes more and more ruthless towards Xiao Tao, which is also a kind of disguise and protection for himself.
Gradually, Zhao Rong was very happy that he could stay in the school most of the time. After all, he needed to stay in the school during the day. Although the old gentleman would not explain anything to him or teach him any knowledge,
But in the school, he could still avoid other people, and most importantly, he could avoid the surveillance of Xiao Tao's eyes and ears.
In the school, as long as he didn't make any noise, the old gentleman wouldn't pay attention to him. At that time, Zhao Rong felt that his mind could be relaxed and liberated for a moment.
He doesn't have to worry about whether he speaks or behaves inappropriately or forces himself to remain expressionless. Here, he just needs to hold a book and pretend to read. In fact, his mind is racing and he can be completely immersed in his own world.
middle.
Of course, there is a price for being able to be so free. After all, even if Zhao Rong's family does not have any requirements for his studies, the old gentleman will still have time to condescend to turn his attention to Zhao Rong.
He glanced at Rong once or twice, but then the old gentleman would turn his eyes away, as if he saw something dirty, frown, shake his head, and sigh.
At the beginning, Zhao Rong felt a little uncomfortable and frustrated when he saw the old gentleman's reaction. After all, the old gentleman's disappointment and contempt for him could be seen clearly. But gradually, Zhao Rong also felt
He was used to it. He felt that just as the old gentleman said, he had no talent in reading, and his qualifications were not even comparable to ordinary people.
Because of her appearance, her mother ordered the whole family not to talk about academic issues during gatherings. My father would not praise any other children in front of the whole family for their academic excellence.
.This is entirely to take care of Zhao Rong's emotions, but the more they do this, the more uncomfortable Zhao Rong feels.
Even though it was rare for him to meet his brothers and sisters, on the rare occasions when they looked at him, Zhao Rong could still clearly feel their jealousy and contempt for him.
Sometimes, Zhao Rong had to think that with his own qualifications, it was hard to blame his brothers and sisters for being so disgusted with him. After all, a person with such a poor talent has occupied so many good resources, taken advantage of them, and achieved so much.
There are very few achievements, so it's no wonder that they have such emotions about themselves.
Often at this time, Zhao Rong will become more demanding on his food requirements. Of course, this is also thanks to Zhao Rong's good nature and open-mindedness. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of awkward person he would become now.
, and has a gloomy character.
But no matter what, Zhao Rong's living environment is still very simple. With such a little spy who follows him anytime and anywhere and reports his whereabouts to others, Zhao Rong also cares about his daily performance.
When he was at home, he always paid attention to his speech and behavior, not wanting Xiao Tao to seize any opportunity to complain against him, and he didn't want his mother to worry about him.
So Zhao Rong soon discovered that if he no longer cared about other people in the family, but only cared about himself. He only talked about some of his own life, and even made some excessive demands. But often these things did not attract his mother's preaching, but could instead
Realize your wishes quickly.
This was also another way that Zhao Rong got along with Xiao Tao later. As long as he only cared about his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, he showed no interest in other people, and had no reaction to how his brothers and sisters viewed him, just like his mother.
You can feel more at ease.
Zhao Rong was still a little confused about this, but he soon convinced himself. Obviously, his mother hoped that he could concentrate on his studies. Even if his talent was not high, he could make progress mainly through hard work.
of.
So at that time, Zhao Rong was actually studying hard. But there was no guidance, or the guidance given to the old gentleman was all things that were even more incomprehensible, so that no matter how hard Zhao Rong wanted to work, he couldn't.
Doing twice the result with half the effort makes little progress.
But just like that, when they were at home, he and Xiao Tao were at peace with each other. If it hadn't been for what happened later, he and Xiao Tao wouldn't be at the point where they wouldn't want to tolerate him around anymore.
Thinking of that incident, Zhao Rong felt a little depressed. After a while, he talked about the past in a low voice, "Second brother, you don't know, I once had a better sister. She was a distant niece of my mother.
