Chapter 2 A Troubled Birthday (Part 1)
As soon as Kang Ershou finished speaking, the voices of his second brother Kang Qizong and his second sister-in-law Su Miaochan came from outside the gate.
"Old Dou, we lost a lot of money again today." The loud voice of the second brother Kang Qizong came to Kang Qirui's ears, and he hurried towards the door, only to see the second brother and second sister-in-law They walked in and saw the two of them. Kang Qirui went up to give the second brother a hug, and said with a smile: "Hi, the second brother and the second sister-in-law haven't seen each other for a long time."
Kang Qizong said as soon as he entered the door. Being hugged inexplicably, I was stunned for a few seconds, and then I shouted in surprise: "Rui Zai, you bad guy is finally back."
Su Miaochan also said beside him: "Uncle Yao, You came back just in time, and the whole family will celebrate my birthday together tomorrow.”
Kang Qirui liked to watch the drama "Outside" in his previous life and read many fanfics. However, those fanfics all described Ah Zong as someone who only knew how to take advantage. In fact, whether he watched the drama in his previous life or actually in this life According to the contacts, my second brother Kang Qizong is very good to his family. Whenever the family needs money, it is his second brother Kang Qizong who provides the money. When I am studying abroad, my second brother often secretly sends me money. Although the second sister-in-law is sometimes a bit aggressive, she is very filial to her parents. She has always been filial to the two elderly people after the death of Azong in her previous life, so Kang Qirui naturally became close to them.
After the second brother said hello to Lao Dou, he pulled Kang Qirui to sit down on the sofa with a smile, and said jokingly: "Rui Zai, you don't even know that Lao Dou's mother has been doing this every day these days. Nagging you, do you have time to come back and celebrate Lao Dou’s birthday?”
Just as Kang Qirui was about to talk, the boss Kang Qiguang, the third brother Kang Qiyao and the fourth brother Kang Qizu walked into the house. .
The three brothers were all pleasantly surprised when they saw their little brother. They had not seen each other for more than a year, so they all took Kang Qirui and chatted non-stop.
"It's time to eat! Let's talk after dinner." After chatting about college life for a while, my mother Wang Yulian invited everyone in the dining room to come in for dinner.
After everyone sat down, Kang Ershou raised the cup that had been filled with wine and said happily: "There are two happy events today. The first one is that Xiao Rui graduated and came back to Yangcheng to develop. We are finally reunited. Have a drink.”
“Oh!”
Everyone picked up a cup.
After everyone finished drinking, Kang Ershou continued to say after sitting down: "The second thing is that tomorrow is my birthday..."
Hearing this Kang Qirui Secretly said: "It seems that the plot is about to begin."
So he asked calmly: "Old Dou, what gift do you want for your birthday tomorrow?"
Several elder brothers also spoke one after another.
"Yes, Lao Dou, whatever you want for your birthday tomorrow, as long as it doesn't require us to sell the house or wife, no problem, just ask." Third brother Kang Qiyao said slightly exaggeratedly.
"That's nonsense. Do you have a property for sale? Do you have a wife for sale? You are just talking nonsense." The second brother Kang Qizong said with a look of disgust.
Kang Qiyao was not angry even after being told by Kang Qizong, and said with a playful smile: "Is it OK to make an advance payment?"
"Second brother, third brother, that's just an adjective." Fourth brother Kang Qizu explained.
"That's a big exaggeration..."
"Okay, you will be very happy to have this old friend. It doesn't matter whether you buy something or not." Kang Ershou immediately stopped their quarrel. , he was still very happy, after all, his sons were so filial.
"You can't say that, dad, I still have to celebrate my birthday." The boss Kang Qiguang said while putting a plate of boiled shrimps on the dining table. Kang Qizong immediately exclaimed when he saw it: " Who is so willing? Boss?"
"Abba bought it." After Kang Qiguang answered his brother's question, he turned to Kang Ershou and said:
"Abba, I think this is it. In addition to the banquet, we brothers can work together to give you a big gift. Oh, there is no need for Xiao Rui. The four of us, Guangzong Yaozu, will be fine."
Kang When Qi Rui heard this, he quickly put down the bowl and said: "How can that be done? Old Dou belongs to everyone, so why shouldn't I be counted as one? Shouldn't brothers come first?"
Wang Yulian This At that moment, he looked at his youngest son with some worry and said, "Xiao Rui, you just graduated and don't even have a job. Where do you get the money? Just let your four big guys handle the gift from your old Dou. "
The second brother and the boss Guang also said: "That's right, kid, you have just graduated, so I can leave Lao Dou's birthday gift to your elder brothers."
Kang Qi. Yao: "That's right, you don't have to worry about Lao Dou's gift." Kang Qizu was not so low-key, but he still said, "That's right, just leave it to us."
Kang Qirui was quite touched when he saw several big bosses caring about him. This is the feeling of home. So he said helplessly: "Mom, bosses, don't worry about me. I have a scholarship to study, and I usually work as a tutor. Don't worry about my lack of money. Speaking of which, even the second brother may not have the same scholarship as me." Where's the money? Hahaha." Kang Qirui was afraid that everyone would be worried, so he deliberately brought the two guys out for comparison
Kang Qizong was not convinced when he heard this, and patted the table and said, "Sai, you know. I don’t know how much money I make in a day, you two?” He turned to Su Miaochan and said, “Achan, tell him how much money we make in a day.”
Kang Qirui quickly stopped the second sister-in-law from talking. He said confidently: "Second brother, I don't know how much you earn in a day, but I can basically make a guess. But do you know how much my scholarship is?"
"How much?"
"How much money Xiao Rui has has anything to do with you. I tell you, you can't have any ideas about your brother." Wang Yulian saw that the Kang family brothers looked curious and quickly warned.
"Mom, it's okay. The bosses are just curious. I don't care. I have received some scholarships over the years and spent some. Now I only have about 100,000 left."
< br>Kang Qirui's words immediately caused everyone to explode. The second brother Kang Qizong could only make a few thousand yuan in a month of opening the store. Kang Qiyao Kang Qizu's salary is only 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. Gangster Kang Qiguang earns at least over 1,000 a month.
As the head of the family, Kang Ershou saw everyone noisy and slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay, it's Xiao Rui's business that Xiao Rui has money. Why are you making such a fuss? Who called you in the first place? Don’t study hard? And I said something ugly before, don’t think about Xiao Rui’s money. If I know someone who asks Xiao Rui for money, don’t blame me and my son for not being polite.”
Look at everyone. They all nodded in agreement, and Kang Ershou said again,
"As for gifts, my idea is not to give anything. We old people don't need anything. I just hope that you will all get married and start a business. The second child will be capable, take the lead, and have a son. You are not too young. If you really want to give a gift, then everyone should bring a girlfriend back tomorrow to show Mrs. Dou.”
Kang Ershou’s words brought everyone’s attention back to tomorrow’s birthday party. , but after he said this, everyone looked helpless.
"Old Dou, are you in such a hurry? Isn't it easy to find a wife?" Kang Qiyao was the first to speak.
Kang Qizu likes to go out for sex the most. He can change girlfriends faster than changing clothes, so he said: "It's not easy to find a girlfriend to get married. You can easily find ten or eight of them when you go out." La."
"You think you can just go to the street and find one? Let me tell you, to be our Kang family's wife, first of all, you must have a Guangzhou registered permanent residence, secondly, you must have a clean family background, and thirdly, you must have the same voice. Same spirit"
"Old Dou, the world is called a global village now, and you can't even leave Guangzhou to find a wife. Isn't this a bit cliche?" Kang Qizu said before Kang Ershou could finish.
The second sister-in-law Su Miaochan had a different opinion at this time. She said: "The girl from other provinces we hired in our store a while ago will steal your money if she doesn't know how to work. It's really terrible."
< br>Kang Ershou agreed: "Second sister-in-law is right, the current public security is so bad, girls from other provinces don't know the basics, they can do anything if they can't find a job."
"You guys are enough. ! Are girls from other provinces offending you? People from other provinces also have their advantages. "
Kang Qiguang finally couldn't help it and got angry in a rare way.
Kang Qiyao was also dissatisfied: "The boss is right, Yangcheng girls may not all be good people, why should they say bad things about girls from other provinces?"
Kang Qirui saw that everyone was starting to debate girls from other provinces. Regarding the question, he knew that Aguang and Ayao were looking for people from other provinces. He didn’t want everyone to quarrel, so he quickly asked: "Old Dou, I don’t need to bring it with you, right?"
"Guangyao tomorrow Zu, all three of you, bring me a girlfriend."
Kang Ershou first set the tone, and then said to Kang Qi Rui:
"As for Xiao Rui, if there is one. You can also bring it over. If you don’t have one, try to bring one back next time.”
Regarding scholarships, HKU has a very complete scholarship system. There are scholarships for admission, semester scholarships, and graduation scholarships. If you are the best group of students, it is not a big problem to get a scholarship of 1.5 million from enrollment to graduation. I don’t know much about the system 20 years ago, so I calculated it as 10%
