Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

Ji Shumiao woke up in his room and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was just past four o'clock.

Ji Shulang was sitting at her desk reading a junior high school textbook. Seeing that she woke up, he handed her a glass of boiled water.

Ji Shumiao gulped down half a cup and asked, "Brother, why are you in my room?"

Ji Shulang readily responded, "Use the air conditioner."

"But your room also has air conditioning."

"That's a waste of electricity." Ji Shulang glanced at her.

He sleeps much better now. He doesn’t kick the quilt or talk in his sleep anymore.

"Where are mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, and uncle?"

I didn't hear any conversation in the living room. Where did they go?

The adults were tired from the journey and were resting in their rooms. Ji Zhenhua was also taking a nap with Qin Rong in his arms.

After answering her question, Ji Shulang opened her textbook and pointed at the densely packed notes on it: "Did you write all of this?"

Ji Shumiao nodded: "I want to go to the sixth grade when school starts."

"It's enough for you to start the third year of junior high school." Ji Shulang felt extremely frustrated, "I am already far behind you."

Ji Shumiao comforted him: "Don't be sad, we will be even further apart in the future."

Ji Shulang: “…”

"Brother Lang, do you have money?"

Ji Shulang dug into his pocket and pulled out fifteen yuan: "Buy some candy? Are these enough?"

"That's enough." Ji Shumiao replied with a smile, "You go out first, I'll change into a skirt, and then we'll go out."

Ji Shulang stood up and went out: "What a hassle."

Ji Shumiao smiled slightly and took out the flower hidden in the rabbit doll.

Qin Rong woke up and couldn't find her daughter, so she called Ji Shumiao.

Ji Shumiao held the lollipop that Brother Lang had just bought for her and said, "I'm teaching Brother Lang how to find the way."

Qin Rong: "Don't play too late, go home for dinner at six o'clock."

"I know~"

Qin Rong asked Ji Shulang to answer the phone again and said, "Don't buy snacks for your sister Miaomiao, otherwise she won't eat at night. Keep your money for yourself. I gave her pocket money, so don't buy her anything."

"I know, auntie, I bought her a lollipop."

To his shame, Ji Shulang didn't have a penny in his pocket at that time.

Of the fifteen dollars, I used fourteen to buy lottery tickets and the remaining dollar to buy a lollipop.

Ji Shumiao took him for a stroll around the community. When they passed a bicycle shop, Ji Shulang's eyes lit up immediately, especially a cool mountain bike that simply grew to his heart.

The shop owner was a middle-aged man with a full beard. Seeing Ji Shulang looking at it for a long time, he stepped forward and said, "Handsome boy, this car is on sale. The original price was 3699 yuan, but now it only costs 2998 yuan!"

Ji Shulang's hand that was stroking the frame suddenly froze, and he withdrew his hand: "No need, I'll just take a look."

"Swipe the card!" Ji Shumiao took out the bank card given by Qin Rong from her small shoulder bag, held it between two fingers and handed it over.

That posture, that tone, that dashing and neat handsomeness, just like the martial arts masters in martial arts novels who pluck leaves to hurt people.

The shop owner took a look at the lollipop in her mouth, and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and took the bank card: "Okay, okay, wait a moment, little boss."

Ji Shumiao pointed at the car and said, "Add a back seat. I want to sit there."

The consequence of talking while holding a lollipop in your mouth is that saliva will flow out.

Ji Shulang took out a tissue to wipe her mouth: "Where did you get the card? If you can't swipe the money later, I will be embarrassed with you."

"My mom, your aunt gave me this card. Don't worry, there's still money in it."

After swiping the card, the shop owner handed it back with both hands. Ji Shumiao took it, put it in her small bag, and patted it.

Ji Shulang: "...Is this the pocket money that my aunt mentioned?"

Ji Shumiao nodded.

Ji Shulang: "I thought it was only thirty or fifty yuan or something."

Ji Shumiao puffed out his chest and said, "I'm just an ordinary millionaire."

The shop owner was installing the back seat in the car, and Ji Shulang realized that the matter was a bit serious: "How are we going to explain it to them when we get home?"

"Do you like this car?"

"Like it."

Ji Shumiao shook his head proudly: "I like it too! So I bought this for both of us, and you can take me to school in the future!"

Ji Shulang took a deep breath and said, "The new little brain is really smart!"

Sure enough, when the adults heard that the bicycle was bought for school, they praised the couple for being thoughtful and good at shopping.

For dinner, I used the leftovers I packed for lunch. I made porridge, steamed buns and flower rolls, and two light side dishes.

After dinner, everyone sat around chatting. Ji Zhenhua talked about the site selection for the brick factory. He had looked at many places in the suburbs a few days ago, but none of them were very suitable. He wanted to go somewhere farther away to have a look. At that time, his grandfather would have to make the decision.

As for Ji Shumiao and Ji Shulang's schools, it would be best if they went to nearby schools, one affiliated to a middle school and the other to an attached primary school, so that they could take care of each other. Ji Zhenhua had already used his connections to give gifts to the vice-principal of the attached primary school and the dean of studies of the attached middle school. As long as the two passed the entrance exam at the beginning of the school term, they would be able to study smoothly.

Qin Yun was a little worried: "Is the exam difficult? Shulang's foundation is very poor, what if he fails?"

Ji Zhenhua: "Let's discuss it then and repeat the grade for another year."

Then they talked about the cram school that Ji Shumiao was attending now. Qin Yun also wanted to enroll Ji Shulang in one, but he hesitated when he heard the price.

It won't be a problem after tomorrow night, Ji Shumiao thought.

Ji Shumiao leaned into Qin Yun's arms: "Aunt, I will teach Brother Lang for you. If he doesn't learn well, I will beat him."

Ji Shulang rolled his eyes and said, "What are you saying? Even though I'm good at studying, you can still beat me up. After all, you are my brother! Right, Brother Miao?"

"Hey——" Ji Shumiao agreed shamelessly, making everyone laugh.

"Aunt, grandma, grandpa, don't eat breakfast tomorrow morning, don't drink water, go to bed early tonight, Lang Ge and I have made an appointment for a physical examination for you."

Ji Shulang was confused - how come I don’t know?

My grandparents are old, and my aunt has the worst complexion.

Ruan Xiangxiu said indifferently: "Children are more caring than some people."

Everyone made some changes to ease the atmosphere. Qin Rong hugged her daughter and asked quietly, "Is the money finished?"

Ji Shumiao smiled shyly and nodded: "Yeah."

"Mom will transfer it to you tomorrow." Qin Rong kissed her daughter's cheek. "My daughter is so thoughtful and filial."

Ji Shumiao coaxed: "I didn't arrange a physical examination for mom, don't be jealous~"

"Your mother is in good health. I know your baby's intentions. I won't be jealous."

Ji Shumiao rubbed against her arms: "Mom is the best."

Ji Shulang found an opportunity and took Ji Shumiao to the balcony to ask, "Ji Miaomiao, when did I make an appointment with you for the physical examination?"

Ji Shumiao had made an appointment for the physical examination before they came to Beijing, so Ji Shulang certainly didn't know about it.

Ji Shumiao got close to him and said, "My appointment is the same as yours. We are brothers and sisters, and we are very close. Why should we be so formal as you and me?"

Ji Shulang couldn't help laughing, bent down to look into her eyes and said, "Thank you, Miaomiao."

"Thank me after the prize draw tomorrow night."

"Whether you win the prize or not, I thank you." Ji Shulang hugged her and patted her, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ji Shumiao hugged him back, "We're family, no need to say thank you."

The adults in the living room were whispering.

"They were hugging each other affectionately on the balcony."

"After all, they are brother and sister. Blood is thicker than water. Even though we haven't seen each other for several years, we don't feel strange at all."
