Hekou Town has convenient access by land and water, and is home to a state-owned enterprise that manufactures bicycles and auto parts. It is one of the most economically developed towns in the country, with numerous shops, and is no worse than a county town.

So even in this day and age, surveillance cameras are already being sold in Hekou Town.

That afternoon, Qin Jiaye and Xi Mingming had already installed the surveillance cameras and were just waiting for the bicycle to arrive and for someone to continue committing the crime.

.

Time passed quickly. As students of the county's key high school, Xi Mingming and Qin Jiaye were not able to return home and officially enjoy their winter vacation until the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Two people broke out of the crowded bus with bags.

Grandpa and uncle came to pick people up in a tricycle, and the slender girl dragged a large suitcase from the side of the bus.

Uncle Qin, who was guarding near the bus stop, saw this and quickly stepped forward to take the box. He said distressedly, "Why are you carrying it? Xiaoye, you are so tall for nothing."

Holding a box in one hand and Xi Mingming's oversized schoolbag filled with textbooks and homework in the other, Qin Jiaye: "..."

It’s numb, really, he should hurry up and take the college entrance examination, he wants to leave home and go on a long voyage.

.

When I met up with my grandfather, there were three armchairs on the tricycle, and a military coat was placed on one of them.

Uncle Qin handed it to Xi Mingming and said, "Your aunt has washed the military coat. It's cold when driving, so wrap yourself up."

Qin Jiaye looked around and found that there was only one military coat, which made him feel very unhappy: "What about me? Am I not cold?"

The old father started the tricycle and said nonchalantly, "Why are you afraid of the cold, young man? It's not shameful to say it out loud."

Qin Jianye was speechless and choked.

God, he wished college would start tomorrow.

The four of them braved the cold wind and drove the tricycle home.

.

The house is always warm and lively, with the aroma of food filling the air.

The system seized the opportunity and popped up at the right time: [Host, isn't this life very warm? Your uncle, aunt, and grandpa are all good people, and you have a cousin who can be bullied at any time. You live a down-to-earth life, how wonderful it is. ]

Xi Mingming sneered in his mind: [Yes, what a happy life! I am over fifty years old in my previous and next lives. I don’t receive my pension and dance with my old man in the square every day... I am still here, working hard, getting up early and studying late. ]

The system muttered: [Obviously not, wouldn't it be easy for you to get the first place? ]

[Hmm~?] Xi Mingming narrowed his eyes and snorted threateningly.

.

Qin Jiaye, who was adding food to his family, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck and his hair stood up.

The system…the system was defeated in a second.

.

Xi Mingming never knew when to stop: [You useless piece of shit, you have no right to speak until you can let me go back and enjoy the fruits of my years of hard work.]

[I finally paid off the mortgage on my house. I have been diligently paying for social security for 30 years. Just when I was about to enjoy it, you kidnapped me here and made me start all over again.]

[My emotions are stable enough. If I were someone less stable, he might have turned into a criminal or antisocial person. You better say what I like to hear next time.]

Xi Mingming threatened: [Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I will do.]

The system curled up into a ball, infinitely reducing its presence.

.

Xi Mingming came back to her senses and saw her aunt and her family looking at her worriedly.

"what's wrong?"

My aunt lowered her voice as never before, trying her best to show her non-existent tenderness: "Mingming, your mother...she..."

My aunt kept saying "she" for a long time but couldn't come up with any suitable reason.

Finally, unable to be tactful, my aunt slapped her thigh and told the truth in frustration: "Your mother...made a cross-border phone call and said that she still couldn't make it back home this year. She sent you a bicycle as a New Year's gift."

Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law? Mingming transferred to Anxiang County to attend high school and has to live on campus. Where can he ride his bicycle?

Grandpa's face was gloomy. He tapped his pipe against the chair leg a few times and ordered in a cold voice: "Xiao Ye's mother, send the remittances from this woman back to her! We can support Ming Ming without using her money! I have never seen a mother like this, who is eager to be the mother of other people's children and doesn't care about her own children."

I have been abroad for so many years, and I have never come back to see my baby. Even when my baby encountered such a big thing, I didn’t even think of returning to China to see him.

Is this also my biological mother?

Even though it was his own daughter, the old man still had a lot of resentment towards her.

.

Qin Jiaye looked at his cousin with trepidation, fearing that she would explode completely if something unhappy happened.

The other four people present had different expressions. But they all had one thing in common: they were all worried about Xi Mingming.

The person being worried about showed no change of expression. She said in a cold tone, "Grandpa, whether I accept this money or not... I will have to support her when she loses her ability to work. If she gives it to us, we should take it. There is no need to refuse."

By the way, the stepmother is no longer a Chinese citizen. Does the national law apply to her? Does she still need to be supported?

It seems it is still needed.

After thinking for a while, Xi Mingming comforted him: "I have my uncle, aunt, grandpa and cousin, that's enough."

In Xi Mingming's opinion, that was enough.

The original body must have had a mother who cared about her. Judging from Xi Mingming's behavior, which was too lazy to hide, the mother would have noticed that something was wrong with her daughter eight hundred years ago.

Of course, the biggest possibility is that she never had the chance to come here at all.

Oh... forget it... Compared to the various social news Xi Mingming saw in his previous life, his original mother was very incompetent and not that cruel after all.

Even though I had abandoned him since I could remember, I still paid him some child support.

Even if he felt unfair, he should be the original body. Xi Mingming himself was not qualified.

What Xi Mingming needs to do is to fulfill his legal obligation as a child to support his original mother when she grows old.

.

Xi Mingming didn't take it seriously, but his uncle's family was worried.

After dinner, the aunt called Xi Mingming and Qin Jiaye in a loud voice, "Let's go shopping. Let's buy new clothes and shoes for the New Year. Mingming is the top student in the grade again, so as a reward, you can buy double the amount of snacks, clothes, shoes and socks that Xiaoye buys."

Qin Jiaye immediately refused to accept it, and he jumped up three feet high in protest: "Why? How can you only talk about absolute values! To be honest, Mingming has not made any progress at all, while I have jumped from outside the top 500 in the grade to the top 200 in one fell swoop!"

Qin Jiaye's objection was particularly fierce: "Mom, instead of giving your son an extra reward, you actually discouraged me. Do you believe that I will be ranked outside the top 600 next semester?"

Anxiang No. 1 Middle School has good teaching quality. There are at least 1,800 students in each grade, and the top 500 students in the total college entrance examination score are almost always admitted to the first-tier universities.

If you rank more than 600, you will inevitably be relegated to a second-tier university.

Before Aunt Qin could say anything, Xi Mingming quickly stepped forward, approached Qin Jiaye and threatened him sinisterly: "Do you believe it or not, I will immediately give you ten more test papers for each subject?"

60 sets of questions for six subjects. My cousin is really good at making up questions by hand.

Qin Jiaye trembled with fear. How could he not believe it? This young lady always kept her word.

.

Aunt Qin burst into laughter when she saw this.

Pointing at his son, he gloated: "You deserve it. You deserve it. Finally someone can control you. Mingming, in view of Xiaoye's progress, your snack quota will be increased to three times that of Xiaoye."

Aunt Qin looked at Xi Mingming's expression and was relieved to her core: "Oh, I never dreamed that one day Xiao Ye could be in the top 200 of the grade."

As a parent, Aunt Qin couldn't help but look to the future: "If Xiaoye keeps up this performance, maybe he can get into a key university?"

Xi Mingming rolled his eyes at the embarrassing Qin Jiaye and said indifferently, "Even with my one-on-one tutoring, if he still can't get into a key university...how can this person still have the face to live in this world?"

.

Aunt Qin immediately fell into the same fear as her son and dared not say a word.

Even though the elder sister-in-law was annoying, she was indeed a capable person and very smart. But the elder sister-in-law's intelligence was still... still within the scope of what Aunt Qin could understand.

Aunt Qin didn't dare to express her opinion on Mingming.

.

Qin Jiaye and his mother looked at each other, and they both had the same look - a look called "awe".

I dare not speak, I dare not speak.

.

Qin Jiaye was a little braver, or rather, he was more used to Xi Mingming's arrogance: "Mingming, you can just say this to your family in private. There are still more than 1,600 people in the school who can't get into a key university. You'll get beaten for saying this."

Xi Mingming followed behind Aunt Qin. At the end of the year, people flowed towards the commercial street.

Upon hearing this, she turned around, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Those more than 1,600 people have me to tutor?"

Qin Jiaye immediately shook his head to leave an afterimage, and was extremely eager to admit defeat, showing no sign of being a brother at all.
