Cheng Qiao was so exhausted that she finally sighed, "Mom, you have to take care of him too. He hangs out outside every day and doesn't do his homework."

"It's okay to just have fun during the New Year." Cheng's mother comforted her, "It's also time for him to have fun at his age."

Cheng Qiao was also comforted by Cheng's mother, but Cheng Zhu immediately turned on the TV after dinner. Cheng Qiao was very angry. She glared at Cheng Zhu and said, "How dare you! You play all day and watch TV at night."

Cheng Zhu looked at Cheng Ma aggrievedly, and called out again with great emotion, "Mom."

Cheng's mother was still normal. When Cheng Qiao was controlling Cheng Zhu, she didn't add insult to injury because it was the New Year. Finally, Cheng Zhu reluctantly took out the math winter vacation homework. Cheng Qiao called him, "Come here, correct the English that I circled first."

After she finished explaining his English winter vacation homework to him, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening. Chengzhu was dozing off at this time, and Chengqiao casually gave him a chestnut. Chengzhu immediately woke up and called out stupidly, "Sister."

Cheng Qiao pouted in disdain, "Finish the remaining two pages of math for me."

He yawned and sat on the other side of the bed with a pen and his winter math homework. Cheng Qiao picked up his physics textbook and continued reading.

An hour later, Cheng Zhu fell asleep on the table again. He only did three of the two pages of questions and circled the others. Cheng Qiao picked up his math winter vacation homework and flipped from the first page to the last page. She did the calculations on the draft paper for the three more difficult questions, and the other questions were clear at a glance. Looking at Cheng Zhu who was pulled to sleep on the bed by her, she sighed and lay down too...

The third day of the New Year was still not a busy day for them. Cheng Qiao slept until she woke up naturally. When she woke up again, Cheng's mother was packing up and Cheng Zhu was nowhere to be found again.

"Mom, good morning." Cheng Qiao came to the living room and greeted her.

"You're awake! Mom will go make you something to eat." Cheng's mother put down what she was holding and smiled at her gently.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom." Cheng Qiao also smiled brightly. After what happened yesterday, many obstacles between her and Cheng's mother were removed at this moment, and her relationship with her mother became closer.

After dinner, Cheng's mother continued to pack the things she needed to take away tomorrow. Cheng Qiao sat outside the house in the sun and read a book. When she felt the sun was making her sweat, she stood up and prepared to take a chair to the room. At this time, Cheng Zhu's excited voice sounded not far away, "Mom, sister, aunt and the eldest and second cousins ​​are here. Mom..."

Cheng's mother came out of the room, and Cheng Qiao also put down the book in her hand and followed Cheng's mother towards the tile kiln. When they were halfway there, Cheng Zhu's figure appeared on the tile kiln, and Aunt's figure was not seen until they went around the tile kiln.

After a simple greeting, everyone walked towards home together. After entering the house, Chengzhu happily set off a firecracker, "Aunt, I wait for you to come back every year to set off firecrackers."

After arriving home, Aunt Cheng smiled and took out red envelopes from her pocket, giving one to Cheng Qiao and Cheng Zhu respectively, "In the new year, I wish everyone success! Especially Qiao, try to get into No. 5 Middle School this year! Become the hope of our family."

Before Cheng Qiao could respond after receiving the red envelope, Cheng's mother said, "How can I, by myself, be able to educate a college student?"

"As long as Qiao gets good grades, her uncle and I will definitely not stand idly by." Cheng Gu looked at Cheng Qiao and made a promise.

Cheng's mother winked at Cheng Qiao, then said with a smile, "Why don't you thank your aunt quickly?"

Although Cheng Qiao had her own plans, her aunt's words at this time made her feel warmer, "Thank you, aunt and uncle."

"Qiao, don't be so stubborn." Aunt Cheng said earnestly, "Your mother just said that she alone cannot train you. Your bright future still requires everyone's help. Come with me to meet your uncles..."

Cheng Qiao stroked her forehead. It was this again. She knew it. So she took advantage of Cheng Gu not finishing her words and immediately said loudly, "Cousin, Weiwei, didn't you guys have lunch? We waited for you to come over before we got food."

"Qiao, be obedient! Go with your aunt after dinner." Cheng Gu emphasized again.

Cheng Qiao saw that she couldn't avoid it, so she sat down helplessly, and then she expressed her attitude seriously, "Aunt, I will never reconcile with them in this life."

"You kid, you are as stubborn as your father." Cheng Gu said angrily, "He was deceived and so are you."

"Qiao, you kid..." Cheng's mother scolded Cheng Qiao and then comforted Cheng Gu, "Little sister, calm down. I'll talk to her later."

"Second sister-in-law, I am doing this for her, okay?" Aunt Cheng looked at her mother. After she saw her mother nod, she continued, "Three years of high school will cost about 30,000 yuan! You have 800 yuan a month, not only for food and drink, but also for rent, and even a pillar. If she lowers her head, then the three families will exchange a little, and at least half of your expenses will be reduced!"

"Haha!" Cheng Qiao couldn't help laughing after Aunt Cheng said that. "Aunt, they just need to pay us back what they owe us."

Cheng Qiao looked at Cheng's mother after she finished speaking, "Mom, I remember you said that when my dad passed away, Cheng Kun's family borrowed 500 yuan and hasn't paid it back a cent until now, right? It's been eleven years, so paying back 1,000 yuan plus interest isn't too much, right? "

Cheng's mother and aunt were stunned. Cheng Qiao continued, "Aunt, your brother, Weiwei's third uncle, also took 285 yuan at the beginning, right? But later he gave me and Zhu some 215 or 11 yuan at a time. Let's think of it as paying it back slowly! A total of 500 yuan was given, and there is still a shortfall of yuan. Since his family is honest, even though it has been borrowed for years, it is not too much to charge yuan plus interest, right?!"

"You..." Cheng Gu was a little speechless. She said unnaturally, "We are all family. There is no need to be so fussy..."

"Aunt, my dad is not here, and my mom is weak, so she doesn't care, but how much have we suffered since we were young?" Cheng Qiao was a little emotional at this time. The few hundred yuan from the two families ended up in nothing. It was just because Cheng Zhu was studying in a technical secondary school during the summer vacation, and the uncle contracted a construction site. Cheng Ma asked Cheng Zhu to work for seven days. The uncle didn't say anything, but directly gave 2,000 yuan to his uncle to take back. Cheng Zhu and Cheng Ma were grateful in their hearts. After all, the wage of a laborer at that time was only 100 yuan a day, and Cheng Zhu was fifteen or sixteen years old and there was no place to ask him to work. Cheng Zhu said that the week he worked was also very relaxed. The 2,000 yuan was the only care that the uncle gave them over the years. So Cheng Ma also forgot that their family took away the 500 yuan compensation from Cheng Dad more than ten years ago.

"Okay, okay. Qiao, you and Zhu can play with Fangfang and Weiwei for a while." Cheng's mother tried to smooth things over. "Little sister, help me make lunch."
