Shui Shui giggled. She did not reject or agree. As long as the teacher was happy, it was fine. Teacher Hu was old, and she would not do anything that would make him unhappy. If he wanted to eat, she would go. If he said that he wanted to celebrate, she would agree.
Qing Qing looked at elder Hu. “Dad, you can let Shui Shui and Xiao Jie sit together. These two children are of the same age, so they can still talk. ”
She knew that she would not be liked by elder Hu, but she still had to please him. After all, he was the only one who could give them a foothold in the family. If her daughter wanted to enter a good school, she had to depend on elder Hu’s relationship.
“Shui Shui doesn’t like to talk. ” Elder Hu understood Shui Shui. This child didn’t like to talk very much. Most of the time, she preferred silence and rationality. That girl might not be able to talk to Shui Shui. Because Shui Shui was a polite child, if they really started to talk, she would still talk.
But today was a good day. He also felt that the most important thing was to let the child start school. “Ring, ring. ”
Teacher Hu took out her phone and answered the call. “How is it? ”
“En, okay, I got it. En, it’s okay. I’ll contact you tomorrow. ” Teacher Hu kept nodding his head. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Qian Shuishui in surprise “The highest score for the science subjects in the college entrance examination is 720. You won’t be able to get away with being the top scorer. You also have to inform your guardian about this matter. ”
“En, I’ll contact them all later. ” The top scorer didn’t have any special meaning to her. Her goal was just to get into the university that she wanted to go to. She had to tell Uncle Jiang about this. Moreover, she needed him to go to the university to help her with her suspension. There was no need for her to continue going to high school. At the same time, Uncle Jiang had to personally handle the procedures for her to go to university.
“Have you ordered yet? Let the waiter prepare it. ” Elder Hu looked at them. “We’ve ordered three dishes now. If you want anything else, just order it. ”
Xiao Jie looked at the menu. “Then I’ll order. I’ll have the shredded pork with fish flavor, the pork ribs with cold melon, the straw hat cake, and Yangzhou fried rice. ”
“I also want to eat this, roasted squab, and… ” when Xiao Jie ordered almost seven dishes, elder Hu couldn’t help but say, “I’ve ordered so many dishes. Can you finish them all? ”
Teacher Hu usually didn’t like to be extravagant and wasteful. When he took Qian Shuishui out to eat, Qian Shuishui would always order the right amount. She wouldn’t order randomly and then not eat.
Hu Wei’s own father was more frugal. Although he was rich, he didn’t like to waste money. “Xiao Jie, cancel two dishes. You’ve ordered too many. ”
“But I really want to eat them all. ” Xiao Jie looked at the menu. It was rare for her to be able to order the food she liked.
“there are only five of us. Six or seven dishes should be enough, ” elder Hu said. He did not like this foreign granddaughter of his to begin with. Moreover, she seemed to want to eat everything. It was obvious that she would not be able to finish all the dishes she ordered.
Hu Wei forcibly removed the two dishes that his daughter ordered. In the end, he let the waiter place the order. Including the three dishes that Shui Shui ordered, there were a total of eight dishes. However, Xiao Jie also ordered Yangzhou fried rice, which could be considered as rice.
Xiao Jie was very unhappy. “She also ordered. Why did she delete the dishes that I ordered? ”
“Shui Shui ordered three dishes, and you ordered five. Isn’t that enough? ” Hu Wei looked at the child. “If you can finish everything that you want, then you can order whatever you want. ”
It was not a good thing to be so wasteful at such a young age. Moreover, Hu Wei was not in a good mood. Although this child was not his biological child, he also loved her because he liked Qingqing He treated this child as if she was his biological child. He should dote on this child or not. This child was usually quite good and would listen to anything he said. However, sometimes, he would still throw a tantrum. Today, father came out for dinner because he wanted to pick up this child. There was a strong contrast between the two children when they sat together.
Xiao Jie was like a child who had not grown up. She wanted this and that, while Qian Shuishui was sitting quietly. Occasionally, she would fill her father’s cup with tea. Her behavior was impeccable.
Qian Shuishui felt that Hu Wei was looking at her. She only smiled and looked over. “Uncle Hu, do you want tea? ”
“No need. I have some here. Shui Shui, how old are you this year? ” He tried to find a topic to talk about.
“I’m almost 17. ” She would only be 17 after her birthday in September.
“You’re still so young. You’re studying quite early. What University do you want to go to? ” He continued to ask.
“Beijing Science and technology. ” She had already made up her mind.
Teacher Hu sat at the side. “Hu Wei, your child is also going to university. What are your plans for the future? ”
“Dad, I don’t have any plans right now. I have an iron rice bowl and my son is about to be born. I want to change to a bigger house so that my child can live more comfortably. ” Hu Wei recalled that he was living in a high-end apartment that his father had given him However, three rooms was still a little too little, and there was not much space for him to move around.
“You guys can do whatever you want with your own lives. Your second brother told me that you went to look for him, right? I’ve already told him that you can get whatever you want on your own. Don’t always think about borrowing money from others. ” Elder Hu said of his eldest son.
“That apartment is worth quite a lot. After all, it’s in a prime location. If you really want to change to a bigger house, you can sell it. You can go to the suburbs and buy a bigger one. It’s completely enough. ” He looked at his eldest son. After so many years, he still did not understand that compared to the other child.. He was really too disappointing. His youngest daughter was also doing well. She was very capable of taking care of herself. His eldest son was very weak. He did not have much courage to do anything. Only when he got married, he was determined to marry this person who had a child with him. At that time, he did not care about everyone’s objections and was even blown by the other party. He ran to invest. In the end, he lost a lot of money. He saw that he was his own child, so he gave them a house. That house was also worth a lot of money. He gave them a house. His eldest son had an iron rice bowl, so his life would not be too bad. However, he met a woman who loved vanity. On the surface, he was gentle and did not ask for anything, but behind his back, he urged his eldest son to want this and that. That was why he ignored his eldest son. He did not even get a share of the inheritance. In the future, his inheritance would also be done. When he passed away, other than his eldest son, the rest would be divided equally.
Hu Wei lowered his head, and a trace of hurt appeared in his eyes. “Dad, it has been so long, why are you still like this? I am also your son. Why are you always so biased? ”
Shui Shui seemed to have heard something and felt that teacher Hu’s family was also very complicated. The difference was that teacher Hu also doted on his eldest son, but for some reason, he had to be cold to him No, it shouldn’t be said that he was cold, it should be said that he refused to help.
“Dad, it’s been so long, but you still don’t like me. I really don’t know why? Could it be that I didn’t do well? ” Qing Qing was really helpless These few years, she had thought that a daughter-in-law should do something, and she had tried hard to do it, but in the end, she didn’t get recognition. Moreover, the way her husband’s relatives looked at her was really hard to accept. Furthermore, when they sat together to eat, they would either mock or ignore her. Initially, she thought that she would be able to live a good life after marrying him, and that it would be slightly better than before.
She also knew that the most important thing was to make the master of the house like her, and then she would have everything. However, no matter what she did, her father did not like her. Now that she was pregnant, she wanted to tell her father that she was pregnant with the Hu family’s child, and that it was a boy He should be able to let go of his prejudice. After all, she was his biological grandson, but his attitude was still neither cold nor indifferent. The emotions that he had been feeling in the past few years, when he saw how he treated a student so well, and how he treated his family members like outsiders, suddenly exploded.
He really could not control his emotions. His own child was there too. To be honest, although his child was not a member of the Hu family, he was brought here when he was one or two years old. She had always thought of Hu Wei as her father since she was young, and they had never said anything else And Hu Wei was really good to his child, which touched her.
Elder Hu looked at this woman. “What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for? What is wrong with you? To us, you are not the daughter-in-law of the Hu family. You can do whatever you want. ”
“Dad. ” Hu Wei called out to his father. Why did he say that. “Dad, Qingqing didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you so strict with her? ”
“I’m not strict. To be more precise, I’ve never expected anything from her. ” Teacher Hu’s expression was still cold “Moreover, Xiao Jie isn’t my granddaughter. What obligation do you have to make me treat her well Of course, I’m not the kind of person who is unreasonable. But what have you done in the past few years You invested recklessly and only thought of me as your father after suffering a loss. Why? Are you short of money now Who suggested you to ask for money from me It’s this woman, right? Why An ordinary family can live well with two to three thousand a month. Why can’t you Moreover, you have a house and a car. What are you not satisfied with Tell me, let me hear it.”
“Dad! ” Hu Wei couldn’t keep his face.
Elder Hu chuckled “Look at yourself. Since you’ve chosen to get rid of the Hu family, then you don’t have the right to ask our Hu family for help. Don’t let others look down on you. First of all, you have to do what you say. “Don’t blame dad for being so ruthless. After all, you’re disobedient, and I’m willing to help you. You’ve done well enough. I’m old, but I don’t have dementia. ”
Shui Shui grabbed teacher Hu’s hand. “teacher, don’t be agitated. ”
“It’s okay, I’m not agitated. ” Teacher Hu only wanted his eldest son to wake up. However, they had been married for so many years, and he had gotten over it. However, he was still thinking about unrealistic things. “sorry to have embarrassed you, Shui Shui Shui. Teacher doesn’t want you to see these things at home. ”
“It’s okay, teacher. The dishes are here. LET’S EAT! ” The teacher was sometimes like a child. He was actually eager for his eldest son to understand him, but his eldest son was always defending his wife. It felt like teacher Hu was talking about Uncle Hu’s wife, but in fact, teacher Hu should have let it go. It was just that the first thing he said was that he wanted money. This was really annoying.
“Uncle Hu, teacher Hu’s health is not very good, and his heart has been having some problems these years. ” She hoped that Uncle Hu would not provoke teacher Hu anymore.
Hu Wei glanced at Shui Shui and didn’t say anything more “then let’s eat. I won’t ask Dad for money again. Dad, don’t worry. I still have this bit of self-respect, but I still hope that you can help me one last time. I Want Xiao Jie to go to a better school. Her score is 552. It’s a little difficult even for a single book, but I want her to go to a better university. ”
“This is still up to you. Shui Shui also took the exam on her own. Whatever score you get is what score you get. I can’t change this score. My ability hasn’t reached the level of being able to cover the sky with one hand. ” He rejected. He was getting old He also hoped to be cared for by his own children, but his eldest son had never cared about him. He only thought about how to get money from him. The other children were busy with their own careers and didn’t have much time. Even if they came to visit him occasionally.. However, he also felt bad in his heart. Fortunately, Shui Shui was there.
During the holidays, she would come to eat with him. When she got sick, she would take him to see a doctor as a family member. Sigh, forget it. He didn’t want to think too much.
“Uncle Hu, if you’re not satisfied with your daughter’s score, you can re-study. The college entrance exam is very strict now, and you might not be able to get into a good school even if you spend money. “If the difference in scores isn’t too big, it’s possible. Maybe now you can look up the scores of all the UNDERGRADS. As long as the scores are close, you can get it done even if you spend some money, right? ” She also didn’t want teacher Hu to be angry She found that teacher Hu was acting like a child in a fit of Pique here.
She thought about how teacher Hu was alone in city a, and she didn’t see any relatives coming to visit him. She didn’t ask, but she could see that teacher Hu sometimes showed a lonely expression.
Because family affection was irreplaceable, especially when people were old, they longed for more.
Hu Wei couldn’t say anything about Shui Shui, because what Shui Shui said was right, but her words still made people uncomfortable, because Qian Shuishui scored 720 points. What school could she not go to if she wanted to But Qian Shuishui had the ability, and that was something that others couldn’t get even if they wanted to.
Shui Shui also knew that she had said too much, but seeing that they continued to talk, and seeing that teacher Hu’s mood was getting worse, she interrupted.
Xiao Jie didn’t speak anymore. Wasn’t it impossible to be her biological granddaughter Then this woman wasn’t her biological daughter, and she was only a student. She felt that it was unfair. Her mother had said that grandfather didn’t like them, and she also felt it. What grandfather said today had hurt her very much. Her cousins had good food and clothes, and they often bought designer handbags. As for her, she only had ordinary pocket money. She did not dare to go to too high-end places with her friends because she did not have enough money in her purse. Her mother had secretly cried in the room before, but now she knew why. “Grandfather, although I am not my biological child, I will still be filial and visit you every day. I treat you like my biological grandfather. ”
Teacher Hu ignored Xiao Jie and drank his tea instead.
Shui Shui looked at this girl. She was indeed quite pitiful. After all, these things were not her fault. “Teacher Hu, why don’t we not trouble the nanny to cook dinner at home tonight? Let’s eat outside tonight. If we call uncle Jiang and the others, there will be more people. ”
She began to change the topic and talk about other topics.
“where do you want to eat? Teacher will pay for it. ” Teacher Hu knew that Shui Shui Shui was considerate. Forget it, let’s just leave it at that. He still wanted to live his life. As he was old, he still wanted to be quiet.
“Then even if there is a table full of people, I don’t know if the other elders want to come. I’ll first send them a message to ask. Confirm how many people and then confirm the location. ” She cracked a smile.
