Chapter 43 - A stack of ten dollars
On New Year’s Eve, Yang Na carefully prepared a table for the brothers.
Every new year in the past was Yin Chang’s happiest day, because no matter how busy Yin Dong is, he will not pick up work three days before New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival. This is a rare moment when the father and son can get together.
Moreover, Yin Dong loves to eat dumplings with Babao stuffing. This is also Yang Na’s special skill. Every year on New Year’s Eve, she will make a large pot of dumplings for their father and son. This year is no exception … although this family has been lost forever The figure of Yin Dong.
“Here are the dumplings.”
Seeing Yang Na coming out of the kitchen with a plate of hot dumplings just out of the pan, Yin Chang was a little hesitant.
“Have Jun Ling eaten dumplings?” Yang Na turned the spoon handle on the plate to Shao Junling and smiled and said, “Come, you are the youngest, you taste first, eat more and grow taller.”
In this sentence, Yang Na also often said to Yin Chang when she was a child, that in a blink of an eye, the favored object changed.
Of course, Yin Chang will no longer be jealous of his brother for such a trivial matter. He just has a little emotion, and the special care the old nanny gave to the young in the family is like a kind of inheritance.
“Yang Na, don’t be busy, come and eat together.” Yin Chang looked up.
“Okay, I’ll bring the trotter soup out and come.” Yang Na turned and smiled.
“brother……”
Hearing Shao Junling’s voice, Yin Chang looked back: “Huh?”
I saw the little guy tremblingly holding a large spoon and scooping the first dumpling into his bowl: “Eat.”
Yin Chang: “…”
Three people have eaten together, Yang Na cleans up the kitchen, Shao Junling kneels on the sofa and plays with her mobile phone.
He seemed to have exchanged WeChat with his classmates, who was slowly typing and chatting with each other while using his mobile phone.
Yin Chang returned to the bedroom, took out the two red envelopes prepared in advance from the drawer, and took one of the thick red envelopes to find Yang Na: “Fiona …”
Yang Na just finished washing the dishes and was shocked to see what Yin Chang delivered. “Oh, what are you doing?”
Yin Chang explained: “This is a little bit of my heart, Happy New Year.”
In the past, every year in the New Year, Yin Dong, an employer, gave Yang Na a big red envelope, thanking her for her contribution over the past year. After Yin Dong left, all these things fell on him, although they are all minor details, but when his role in the family changes from a caretaker to a responsibility bearer, he will be involuntarily involuntary. Think about it.
Yang Na accepted the red envelope, and tears appeared in her eyes: “Stupid boy, how old are you, and learn from your dad to come here … Hey, I ’m alone, I ’m here to eat you, drink yours, and I ca n’t spend it on weekdays. How much money does your dad give me such a high annual salary … I’m all in the bank. Maybe when I get old and can’t do anything, I will find a better home for the elderly to use for my retirement … “
Yin Chang hugged her. This nearly 50-year-old babysitter has been with him for almost 20 years. In his heart, he has long regarded the other party as an indispensable part of his family. For the next ten years, or even twenty years, he hoped that Yang Na would be there. Even if she was old, he would give her old age.
Yang Na grabbed his hand and persuaded: “Xiao Chang, today is New Year’s Eve. I know you have had a bad time in the past six months. The old saying is,” Quit the old and welcome the new. “After tonight, let the past pass. Will it all pass, huh? “
Yin Chang calmly said, “I know, I will.”
Yang Na looked at the back of his departure and sighed lightly. What happened in the past half a year almost forced the child to grow up overnight.
She squinted her eyes slightly and continued to wipe the stovetop.
After Yin Chang came out, he saw that Shao Junling was still lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, and he didn’t call him. He directly took another red envelope filled with New Year’s money to the study, and quietly put it under his pillow.
But I did not expect that as soon as Yin Chang opened Shao Junling’s pillow, he found a stack of ten dollars hidden underneath.
Yin Chang: “?????”
He suddenly remembered what Shao Junling had told him in the Jungfrau Tourist Hall, and his face suddenly turned black.
“Shao Junling !?” Yin Chang was anxious, and he couldn’t care whether this was Shao Junling’s “privacy.” He called out aloud.
The little guy heard the elder brother’s call, and it was a good thing to run into it, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw his brother holding his private money in his hand … He looked at him dumbly and questioned “Where did you come from?”
Shao Junling opened his mouth and panicked around, but in Yin Changru’s eyes, he knew he couldn’t escape this level and could only honestly explain: “I, I … and children, bet …”
……really!
“Did you ask Xue Zi to win ten dollars more than the grade? Why is that so much money? What other name did you use to win him money?” The thought of the kid pitted Xue Zi with so much money without his knowledge Yin Chang had a headache.
“No, no, no,” Shao Junling stammered anxiously, “I, I am, and others, other children …”
Yin Chang: “???” This boy didn’t just hang Xue Xue asking someone’s money? ? ?
“Come here,” Yin Chang took a deep breath, trying to calm his irritable mood, called Shao Junling to himself, “sit here and explain to me!”
Shao Junling sat in front of Yin Chang and honestly confessed: “This, Dong Chengtian, this, Yan Jiaping, this, Sun Wan, this, Kong Nanlei, and Yang Mengshan …”
Yin Chang: “…” are exactly the same ten dollars. This kid can remember who gave it?
… wait, that’s not the point!
The point is that this **** really made a bet with so many children and won their money! ?
He is only eleven years old!
Does Mr. Lin know these?
Shao Junling still explained tremblingly: “These cards were won with gambling results. These cards are for gambling and gambling teacher Lin, what color and clothes to wear … This is a sports class, a gambling game …”
“What about these?” Yin Chang pointed to the five dollars in between.
“This, this is, Luo Pengtao, Ji Han, Yu Wenmao …” Shao Junling reported five or six names, then raised his eyes and squinted at Yun Yinchang’s face, carefully, “their, protection fee.”
Yin Chang: “??????”
Yin Chang: “Protection fee ???”
Is this kid special … dare to charge someone for protection? ? ?
Shao Junling found that Yin Chang glared at him and shrunk his neck again. If he had a turtle, he would probably have lost his head.
But seeing his reaction, Yin Chang was more angry, which shows that Shao Junling knew that gambling money to collect protection fees is not allowed by the rules … otherwise, based on the kid’s temperament, if he didn’t know where he was wrong, he would dare to confuse Staring back.
Under further pressure from Yin Chang, Shao Junling truthfully explained his reason for collecting the “protection fee”.
This has to be said from the activity class of Deyin.
Deyin is a small class teaching, but the exception is the activity class. The activity class is usually four classes together. The physical education teacher will teach children to learn to play football, basketball, and regularly organize some large-scale games.
At this time, if there are several burly and imposing boys in the class, the morale will be greatly increased and the advantage will be doubled. If not, once in the game, it will inevitably be provoked, bullied and even ridiculed by the opponent.
Before Shao Junling entered Primary One Class A, no boys in this class could play, and the only Xuezi who was arrogant in front of people was also a paper tiger, so their outdoor activity scores have always been at the bottom of the year, which also led them to be in other classes. The classmates have been unable to look up in front of them.
However, since Shao Junling started to participate in the Group A competition in Primary One, the children found that their weak state was gradually changed.
Although this transfer didn’t grow too burly, he brought with him a spirit of tyrants. As long as he was on the court, no matter what strong man he was facing, he dared to run rampant. The opponent had suffered several losses on him, and he dared not face him again. Over time, Shao Junling, who appeared on the field, was as invincible as ever.
As Shao Junling helped Primary One A win more and more wins, his popularity and status in the class also skyrocketed.
Shang Deyin’s students are not short of money at home. Some boys admire Shao Junling from the bottom of their hearts, they use the money to please Shao Junling, and joked that they paid him protection fees. Those who know this are not ashamed, but instead follow suit one by one, not to mention the protection fee, and some often give Shao Junling a variety of delicious and fun.
Of course, Shao Junling wouldn’t say this in detail in front of Yin Chang. He didn’t understand other people’s thoughts, so he said it one by one.
For example, XX gave him money, XX gave him a bottle of lactic acid beverage every day, XX asked him to eat grilled sausages in the school cafeteria every 30 minutes … he also received a bunch of game point cards, but Don’t know how to use it.
When explaining these things, Shao Junling also made a pair of gengzhi like “I don’t want it, they have to give it to me”, called Yin Chang simply not angry, nor laughing.
“Listen …” Yin Chang picked up the pile of money and shook it in front of Shao Junling, his mouth twitched with a smile, but there was a little anger between his eyebrows, “Today is New Year’s Eve, I don’t want to be angry with you. Aim at this one Let me just say one thing-usually the classmates treat you well. It is the popularity you earn on your own. You can receive a small gift, but you must not collect money. “
And others know that Shao Junling cares so much about this little money, and thinks how he treats him as an elder brother.
After Yin Chang said, he took out the red envelope that had been prepared and said, “This is the New Year’s money I gave you, originally intended to be placed under your pillow … You are a boy, a man must have a man’s temperament, how can he accept classmates casually? How about the money? Once you get it, you will need it in the future. You can tell me directly. No one else will be charged. Whether it bet or protection fee, do you understand? “
Shao Junling focused all his attention on the red envelope Yin Chang gave him, inadvertently “um”.
Yin Chang was afraid that he didn’t have a long memory. After thinking about it, he said, “I will not react with Teacher Lin first, but if I find out that there is a second time … I will send you back to school to live.”
Hearing this, Shao Junling suddenly looked up, and promised, “No more.”
Yin Chang used that point to threaten Shao Junling, but he tried to test his reaction, and he seemed a bit nervous as he was so nervous.
He seemed to confirm something … Was that the weakness of Shao Junling?
The next morning, Yin Chang personally drove Shao Junling and Yang Na to sweep Yin Dong’s grave.
After the memorial service, he and Yao Manhuai picked up a geomantic treasure for Yin Dong in the most expensive private cemetery in Haicheng, and buried the golden silk nanmu box together with a set of clothes that Yin Dong used to wear during his lifetime to make a crown and mound for Relatives and friends came to mourn.
In the early morning of the first day of the first month, most people went to visit relatives and friends. Even the private cemetery with a lot of land and money was sparsely populated, showing depression and indifference.
The three came to Yin Dong’s tombstone. Yang Na first lit a candle, scented it, provided flowers and fruits, and mourned a few words in a low voice: “This is the first time I have come to see you, sir, really live……”
She talked a lot, her eyes were red and her tone was sad.
“I will take good care of your two children … hope you are there and … well … we will all miss you …”
Yin Chang heard Yang Na mumble to himself for a while, and seemed to have a name vaguely in the middle, but the more he said later, the lighter he was, and he didn’t hear much, only looking at the tombstone.
After Yang Na finished speaking, wipe her wet eyes and greet Shao Junling to scratch Yin Dong.
As a result, Yin Changzheng was so sad that he heard Shao Junling yelling at the tombstone: “Uncle Yin.”
Yin Chang frowned. “What’s your name?”
Shao Junling also stupidly repeated: “Uncle …”
Yin Chang was angry, raised his hand and gave him a back of his head: “Call dad!”
Shao Junling: “…”
Shao Junling was forced to helplessly: “Dad …”

[Interlude]
Xue Zi asked (voice): “What are you doing?”
Shao Junling (troubled typing, typing three words for three minutes): “Nothing.”
Xue Zi asked (voice): “Are you ready for dinner?”
During Shao Junling’s strenuous typing, the words “eat well” were not finished, and Xue Zi’s voice came again.
Xue Zi asked (voice): “I ate at Grandpa’s house. My cousin just taught me to play a very fun game called King Pesticide. Would you like to play together?”
Shao Junling 😕 ? ? King pesticide? what? How to play?
Delete the unfinished sentences and continue struggling to type new ones …
Xue Zi asked (voice): “Why don’t you return to me?”
Shao Junling: “…” I’m still typing! !! !! Annoying and boring! !! !!
Xue Zi asked his cousin: “My classmate is extremely cold. He didn’t return to me. He probably didn’t want to play with me …”

Shao Junling: What should I do if my brother found out the private house money? Shivering! !! !!
Yin Chang: What should I do if I find that the school bull brother collects protection fees at school? How to teach correction? Ask for advice, online, etc.
