Chapter 23 The Stingy Brother
Xie Lingjiao gave her brother hush money and left with him in a remote and uninhabited corner.
Worried look.
Xie Chi held her sister's hand and diverted her attention with other things. "Aren't you worried that your brother has no friends? Do you want to go and see him now?"
It's time for get out of class to end now.
Xie Lingjiao put her fourth cousin's affairs aside for the time being and nodded, "It's time to go and take a look. I haven't seen you for so long. I wonder if Xiao Qi has eaten well and grown taller."
Xie Lingjiao walked to the door of her brother's classroom.
Take a look inside.
Oops~ get out of class is over and my brother is still reading!
So hard.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, are you looking for Brother Xie again?"
Xie Chi has been here many times, and most of Xie Qi's classmates know him.
The enthusiastic ones even said hello and took the initiative to call out Xie Qi for help.
"Xie Qi! Stop reading, your brother is here!"
Xie Qi, who had just been immersed in reading, immediately looked up.
His eyes were full of surprise.
"Xiaochi!"
He stood up and strode towards the door.
Two months later, my eldest brother has grown taller again. When Xie Lingjiao walked up to him, she had to raise her head slightly to see his face.
Hmm, why do you look so thin?
"Xiao Qi!"
Xie Lingjiao patted the eldest brother's hand that was stroking the younger brother's hair, and asked him unhappily: "Did you not eat well? I told you that you can't save money on meals!"
"If you don't eat well when you are young, you will become ugly when you grow up!"
"If you are ugly, why would you go out?"
Strange, why did I hear my sister’s voice?
Could it be that thinking about it day and night caused him to hallucinate?
Xie Qi couldn't believe it.
When he actually saw his sister appearing in front of him, he was so excited that his eyes turned red! The big one pounced directly on my sister, rubbing it again and again, with a muffled voice: "Sister! I miss you so much!"
"Why did you come to see me?"
"I had a good meal! I had three meals a day as you asked, and I ate meat for each meal!"
Are you still so thin after eating?
Xie Lingjiao looked suspicious.
Xie Qi felt aggrieved and looked hurt: "Sister, you clearly know that I listen to you the most! You have told me to eat meat so many times, how could I not eat it?"
Although it hurt his heart to spend so many coins every time he ate meat, how could he not listen to his sister's instructions?
He is really eating!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to grow so tall.
That's true.
Xie Lingjiao touched her younger brother's arm and felt that it was full of bones. She looked distressed: "Are you not full? Is the meal enough? How about adding a midnight snack at night?"
"Sister, you have money, don't waste it."
"The growth of a child is a major event that affects a lifetime!"
Xie Qi is fourteen this year.
Many of his peers were engaged at his age, and some were already married and about to become fathers. If others say that he is a child, Xie Qiding will show him some colors and let him know how powerful he is.
But the person who said this was his sister!
Xie Qi felt sweet in his heart.
"Sister, I'm already very tall, look!"
He stood up straight.
Very high indeed.
Xie Lingjiao felt proud when she thought that this was the younger brother she had raised piece by piece.
He stepped on his feet and touched his brother's head: "Xiao Qi, my dear, my sister will take you to have a big dinner later! I'll give you a good supplement. Studying is so hard, Xiao Qi, you have to eat more."
Xie Qi obediently bent down and handed his head to his sister.
He didn't want a big meal.
Because it's expensive.
Xie Qi's heart aches when he thinks of the money that will be spent. But he wanted to be with his sister, so he didn't refuse even though he was heartbroken.
"Okay, sister!"
"Wait for me, I'll come to you soon!"
The last half hour.
Xie Qi was full of energy and listened very carefully.
For the first time after class was dismissed, the Master did not ask about the lessons, but hurried out of the academy.
"Sister!!"
Far away.
Xie Lingjiao saw a tall and beautiful young man with long legs running out of the academy quickly. He started waving before he even arrived, his face beaming with joy.
Ah, whose child is so beautiful?
Oh~it turns out to be from her family! Xie Lingjiao proudly straightened her back and handed the ointment she bought to her eldest brother.
"Xiao Chi said you got first place in the exam again?"
Xie Lingjiao started to dig into her wallet.
Xie Qi's mind was only interested in money, and studying was also very hard for him. Xie Lingjiao wanted to say that if that didn't work, she could just learn a few words and become a bookkeeper in the future.
But my mother said that I need to study to be successful.
Otherwise, how can I protect my sister in the future?
Being unpromising is not important to Xie Qi, but he has to protect his sister and not let her be bullied!
So I kept gritting my teeth and persisted.
Xie Lingjiao felt sorry for her brother and told him that as long as he could get the first place in the exam, he would give him thirty taels of silver.
Since then, Xie Qi’s eyes no longer hurt and his head has stopped feeling dizzy.
The more I read the book, the more energetic I become.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I saved a lot of money by getting first in the exam, but I still don't have to spend it. Gradually he became the richest person in his family.
Xie Lingjiao made a special trip to the bank to exchange the money with the banknote and put it in a beautiful new purse.
There was a ceremony before the meal, and the certificate and bonus written by myself were awarded to my brother.
"Thank you, kid Qi, because you have studied hard and studied hard these past six months, and you once again won the first place in the academy!"
"Your hard work is visible to my sister."
"Therefore, my sister decided to reward you with a handwritten certificate and thirty taels of silver as encouragement!"
The younger brother Xie Chi is in the atmosphere group.
As soon as my sister finished speaking, she clapped her hands.
"Thank you sister!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Xie Qi was moved to tears.
After hugging her sister, she did not forget her younger brother Xie Chi, "Thank you too, Xiao Chi, my brother loves you!"
"Of course, I love my sister the most!"
Xie Chi wiped the saliva from his face calmly.
He nodded after hearing what he said.
He couldn't tell, but the one he loved most was also his sister.
"Here." Xie Qi took out a small piece of silver and handed it to his younger brother, "Pocket money for Xiao Chi."
"Thank you, brother."
What Xie Qi gave to his brother was a silver coin, but what he gave to his sister was a delicately crafted bracelet.
Golden!
And the materials are solid.
It doesn't look cheap at first glance.
"Wow! Thank you Xiaoqi, I like it very much!" Xie Lingjiao immediately put on the bracelet and promised: "I will wear it for the rest of my life!"
"As long as you like it, sister!"
My sister liked the gift she gave, and Xie Qi was also happy.
The money spent for this is considered worthy of death.
"Come to Xiaoqi Xiaochi and order whatever you want! Sister's treat!"
"Okay, sister."
Xie Chi was already very used to eating out with his sister, and he quickly ordered two of his favorite dishes.
It's Xie Qishi's turn.
He weighed his options, hesitating.
“Why has the price of this chicken increased?”
"It's just a carrot, why is it so expensive!"
"The price for meat here is too high. If you cut the meat and cook it yourself, you can eat a few more kilograms!"
The more I look at it, the more heartache I feel.
In the end I just stopped watching.
Not wanting his sister to wait for him hungry, he quickly put his thoughts back and ordered a dish that he thought was relatively reasonably priced.
"Is one enough? Do you want to order another one?"
My brother loves to eat fish.
Xie Lingjiao persuaded him to order another dish of steamed fish.
He also said: "If I can let Xiao Qi eat the food he likes, I will be very happy, sister~"
"Then...okay, okay."
The three siblings ordered several dishes.
At first Xie Qi was nagging, worried that he wouldn't be able to finish the meal. As a result, he had a great appetite and ate twice as much as the other two.
In the end, not a single dish on the table was wasted. Xie Qi scavenged and ate all the dishes.
