The Spring of Prince Syndrome

Three days before the start of school, Yuanyuan was still struggling with the biological clock. After all, it was very difficult to adjust the day and night routine during the summer vacation. When I woke up at eleven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Guogang and Tan Ruikang were not there. went.

Yuan Yuan felt uneasy about being robbed of his father, and when he saw the note on the table, he knew that they would not be back at noon.

He should go to the exam... I wish him all the best, and when he comes back in a few days, he will pack his bag and go to school, lie far away on the sofa and call his good friend Qi Huiyu, and complain about his cousin by the way.

"Well, that's how they are." Yao Yuan said, "It's quite sad. After finishing elementary school, I went to junior high school, married a wife, built a house, started farming, raised chickens and pigs, and my whole life would have passed like this. If it wasn't for His father died and he came to the city to make a living, so he probably will stay in the countryside all his life."

Qi Huiyu laughed on the phone: "Did he come to your house to make a joke? My relatives came to make a joke last time."

Yuanyuan said: "It's okay, quite smart."

Qi Huiyu told a story about a relative from his hometown who came to visit and boiled his mother’s electric kettle on the gas stove until the glue at the bottom melted. Yuanyuan and Huiyu laughed and chatted a few words The girls wentssip, and they each hung up the phone.

Yuan Yuan looked through the address book in boredom to find someone's answer to the winter vacation homework. This time it was Lin Zibo wearing thick bottle-bottomed glasses.

After checking the answers, Lin Zibo asked, "How is your distant relative?"

Yuanyuan told Lin Zibo what Qi Huiyu said earlier, and Lin Zibo said: "Their learning progress may not be able to keep up with the education here."

Yuanyuan said: "Even English is used in the PEP version. My dad should contact the technical school for him. You can't starve to death if you learn the craft. Did you finish the small paper with additional questions that was handed out by picking your nose?"

Picking Nose is the math teacher in their class. He likes to pick his nostrils with his thumbs, so he got this nickname.

Lin Zibo didn't finish his work either, so he made an appointment to take out his homework on the day he handed in his homework and take it out for Yuanyuan to copy. The doorbell rang, Yuanyuan hung up the phone and went to open the door.

"How?" Far asked.

Zhao Guogang said: "It's over, your brother is doing very well, and school will start on September [-]nd. Go change clothes, go out to have a meal, and do some shopping."

Tan Ruikang smiled, and Zhao Guogang said: "After school, you must pay close attention to English, and ask Xiaoyuan if you don't know it."

Tan Ruikang nodded again and again, and Zhao Guogang said again: "It doesn't matter if you stay one level, it just happens to take care of each other..."

Yuan Yuan heard it inside and asked, "Which room do you read? Let's go and have a look together after dinner."

Zhao Guogang: "No need, No.[-] Middle School, I have contacted your vice principal, just go to class on Monday."

distant:"!!!"

"Third Middle School?!" Yaoyuan said in disbelief, his worldview was completely overturned, just like in a dream, he frowned and said, "You...Tan Ruikang! Did you just enter the Third Middle School?"

Zhao Guogang said slightly displeased: "He wants to stay in the first grade and come down to study the third grade with you. Next year you two will take the high school entrance examination together."

Yuanyuan was about to explode, and he treated Tan Ruikang as a transparent person, and asked, "Which class? Are you kidding me!"

Zhao Guogang said: "Class One, your top class."

Yuan Yuan: "This is not... this..."

Zhao Guogang looked up at his son, Yuanyuan almost blurted out "this is not possible", what a joke!At the beginning of junior high school in the southern country, at the beginning of high school, there are thousands of troops crowded on the single-plank bridge!Entering the top class of No. [-] Middle School is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of key undergraduate courses with one foot. How did he do it? !Just rely on him? !

"This is too..." Yuan Yuan braked in time and changed his words: "It's too powerful."

Yuan Yuan's face became gloomy, he went back and changed his clothes, and came out to put on shoes, Zhao Guogang knew that his son was aggressive and jealous, but he couldn't teach him a lesson in front of Tan Ruikang, and his face was not very good-looking, so he had to find something else to say Turn towards Tan Ruikang.

Yuanyuan bowed his body to put on his shoes, but his heart was overwhelmed. How good is Tan Ruikang in studying?No. [-] Middle School did not have an entrance exam for transfer, so his father took him to the class leader to make a test paper, and then went to the vice principal's house to sit for a while.Yuan Yuan remembered that Zhao Guogang made it very clear when he was promoted from elementary school to junior high school, if he failed the exam, he would go to an ordinary middle school and forget about it.

Yuanyuan studied desperately, but in the end, he was still a little short. Of course, Zhao Guogang went to a friend from the Education Bureau to write a note, and he was still stuffed in. Later, Yuanyuan found out that Zhao Guogang paid [-] yuan for school selection. fee.

Distant self-esteem was greatly frustrated, and he realized that one cannot rely on his father for the rest of his life. After entering junior high school, he studied hard and finally got some grades. Be in the same class as yourself!

How much did Zhao Guogang pay?

Yuanyuan put on his shoes, got up and went out with Zhao Guogang, and suddenly asked in the elevator: "Dad, did you pay the school selection fee? Now it's tens of thousands to enter a class? Or is it [-]?"

Zhao Guogang was tricked by his son again, and he didn't answer it, and he didn't answer it.After Yuanyuan asked, he looked at the elevator button expressionlessly, knowing that Zhao Guogang was completely unable to answer.

Answer the school selection fee of [-] yuan, and Tan Ruikang is right next to him.

Answer no, Zhao Guogang has to take care of his son's mood anyway, and it's impossible to think about it, Yuanyuan knows his alma mater very well.

Tan Ruikang was taken aback, and asked, "Uncle, what is it, and what is the fee?"

Zhao Guogang said in a deep voice: "It's not decided yet, it depends on his grades in the high school entrance examination."

"Oh." Yuanyuan said coldly.

Tan Ruikang looked a little overwhelmed. He heard an astronomical number, but he didn't know what mystery it contained. Moreover, the atmosphere between Yuanyuan and Zhao Guogang was a little stiff, and there was a low air pressure in the elevator.

Yuanyuan has heard countless times that his father's money is his money. Many relatives at Zhao Guogang's house have told him to be optimistic about his father and not to be cheated of money.Zhao Guogang didn't have a reunion, and Yuanyuan couldn't possibly be willing to have multiple stepmothers. His desire for monopoly is not so strong. No one can take over his father, and their father and son's money can't be spent by outsiders.

As soon as Zhao Guogang went to drive, Tan Ruikang asked in a low voice, "Yuan Yuan, what is the school selection fee?"

Yuanyuan said kindly: "It's nothing, congratulations, brother, we will be classmates from now on."

Tan Ruikang frowned, and Zhao Guogang drove over and took them to lunch.By the way, let's talk a few words about the new semester, and I'm going to buy new schoolbags and stationery, clothes and shoes, and office cards for Tan Ruikang.

Yuan Yuan didn't say a word, sat in the passenger seat, leaned against the car window to watch the scorching sun outside, and wondered if Tan Ruikang was born illegitimately by Zhao Guogang.

"The year your father brought you here." Zhao Guogang said, "Xiaoyuan is only two years old, and you are four years old."

Tan Ruikang's brows temporarily relaxed, and he said, "I forgot."

Zhao Guogang said: "At that time, it was a development zone, but now it is the city center. Xiaoyuan's mother asked your father to do business, and the reform and opening up was just started... Yuan Ye's stock was three yuan a share, and it rose at the highest point. To more than 100."

Tan Ruikang said: "Why didn't my dad come back then?"

Zhao Guogang said: "He said that there is no one to take care of the two elders in his hometown, Xiaoyuan's grandfather is not used to living in the city, and no one takes care of the family fields."

"Now, the fields are rented out?" Yuan Yuan asked.

Zhao Guogang said: "Now your uncle's family doesn't have many people farming. Maybe in a few years, we can develop some tourism... In the blink of an eye, it will be so many years."

The car stopped at the crossroads and waited for the red light, Zhao Guogang said: "When you saw you for the first time, Brother Ruikang, I fell in love with you so much, I hugged you and kissed you forever..."

Yuan Yuan blushed, and said angrily, "Don't mention this, can you?"

Tan Ruikang laughed loudly and said, "Uncle, I forgot."

When Zhao Guogang thought of his dead wife, his voice softened a lot, and he said, "Ruikang is still reluctant to leave, saying he wants a younger brother, he wants a younger brother."

Tan Ruikang sighed: "My mother was gone at that time, she said before that she would give birth to a younger brother for me."

Zhao Guogang hummed casually, shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, and said, "Although Xiaoyuan's mother and your father are cousins, they had the best relationship when they were young. Xiaoyuan, you and your brother should get along well, you know?"

Yuanyuan answered coldly, Zhao Guogang knew that this son was at the time of puberty, and would only quarrel if he talked too much, so he gently exposed it.

Zhao Guogang took them to dinner at noon. Tan Ruikang was not used to eating white-cut chicken with blood, so Zhao Guogang ordered some other dishes for him. From a distance, he felt that Tan Ruikang became more and more annoying. There is also an indescribable sense of rejection.

Zhao Guogang is still very good at chatting. He has been in the shopping mall for many years, and it is easy to coax two children. When Tan Ruikang mentioned his hometown, he couldn’t say anything. Dao bamboo shoots, a specialty of my hometown... Yuanyuan was upset when he heard it. He didn't speak when Tan Ruikang was talking, and Tan Ruikang probably couldn't understand when Yuanyuan was talking, so he couldn't get in the conversation.

After barely finishing their meal, Zhao Guogang took them shopping again. Yuanyuan rarely bought schoolbags and stationery in China World Trade Center—he looked down on these, which were all Zhao Guogang's habits.Yuanyuan likes to go to the pedestrian street to find some inexpensive but stylish boy cartoons, such as cool cats or Japanese products.

The shoulder bag that Zhao Guogang bought for Tan Ruikang was very expensive, but it looked ordinary and tasteless. He also bought a pair of sneakers, which were paid for by Yuanyuan and Yuanyuan didn't wear them.

When Tan Ruikang insisted on paying the bill himself, Yuanyuan felt both helpless and funny, Zhao Guogang said: "Ruikang, don't be polite to Uncle, after you work, you will have time to buy things for Uncle."

Tan Ruikang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded gratefully.

Zhao Guogang drove back to the downstairs community. After paying the money, Tan Ruikang asked Tan Ruikang to cut his hair first, and took Yuanyuan upstairs, intending to appease his son, but the two quarreled after returning home.

"How much did you spend on him?!" Yuan Yuan said, "Why didn't you tell me!"

Zhao Guogang said: "Yuanyuan, his father is your mother's brother, you are the only child, you don't understand brotherhood..."

Yuanyuan: "The problem is that he was not born by you! Why?! He is an adult and can support himself! Why doesn't he go to work?!"

Zhao Guogang took a deep breath, unable to communicate with this son at all.

"Suppose, Xiaoyuan, suppose father and mother leave you together." Zhao Guogang said: "If you don't go to high school after graduating from junior high school and go out to work alone, do you think fate is fair to you? My brother is only 17 years old this year! Letting him go to the construction site to move bricks with a junior high school education is simply ruining him! Would you like to change it to you?"

Yuanyuan said: "What's so difficult about being self-reliant! Now it's my turn, then I can support myself! While working and studying, who must rely on their parents?"

Zhao Guogang said: "To put it bluntly, since you said so, why are you angry when Dad pays for his tuition and school selection fees?"

Distant language barrier.

Zhao Guogang was about to say a few words of comfort, but Yuanyuan went back to the room with a dark face, slammed the door and locked it.

Zhao Guogang knew that Yuanyuan was just talking about it, if he really wanted to let Yuanyuan go out to work, the young master would definitely throw things and quit within two days of his temper. manage.

After smoking a cigarette, Zhao Guogang knocked on the door, and said with a pleasant face, "Xiao Yuan, in this world, Dad loves you the only person he loves the most. Think about it, how can you be angry with Dad?"

Yuan Yuan burst into tears when he heard that. He was lying on the bed flipping through the picture album, but he didn't open the door. Zhao Guogang knew that he wanted to save face, so he stopped knocking on the door, and called the company driver to buy food and deliver it, and started cleaning.

In the middle of cleaning, Yaoyuan came out to go to the bathroom, Zhao Guogang said: "Clean up the dishes, let's cook by ourselves in the evening."

Yuanyuan was angry and went down the steps, so he couldn't confront his father anymore. He went into the kitchen to wash the vegetables. Tan Ruikang also came back, cut his hair very short, and said with a smile, "Uncle."

Zhao Guogang said: "You are very energetic and well cut, Xiao Yuan, you will have to cut your hair after school starts."

When Tan Ruikang came back, he consciously went to the kitchen to wash the vegetables. Yuanyuan still didn't say a word, so Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "Xiaoyuan, how is your hair cut?"

Glancing at him from a distance, he thought he was quite handsome, and the barber knew how to cut his hair short?The previous greasy impression is gone, the wash is very dry, and there is still a faint fragrance on the body.

It probably took a lot of effort for the hair-washing girl to straighten Tan Ruikang's hair.

Yuan Yuan said perfunctorily: "Not bad, very energetic."

"Your hair is beautiful." Tan Ruikang said, "How much did you pay for the cut? The people in the store also washed my hair and asked me to perm, which really scared me, and I wanted a massage. I said no, no, how much should I cut?" It becomes..."

"Everyone needs a massage here." Yuan Yuan said, "Massage is only [-] yuan, and washing, cutting and blowing is [-] yuan. After the massage, I feel much more comfortable and refreshed. Nothing."

Tan Ruikang said: "Doesn't it still have to be cut short after washing? Isn't this a waste of washing? A waste of money."

distant:"……"

Yuanyuan realized that he and Tan Ruikang really didn't have any common language, so he nodded and said yes.Zhao Guogang came over to cook in an apron after cleaning, and Tan Ruikang hurriedly said, "I'll do it."

Zhao Guogang said: "Xiaoyuan has a tricky mouth, uncle will take care of him first, and you will cook for him if uncle doesn't come back later."

Tan Ruikang said yes with a smile, and saw that there was no place for him in the kitchen, so he went back to his room.

Yuan Yuan laid hands on Zhao Guogang, Zhao Guogang said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yuan, you are father's son, and no one can take your place. You are the master of this family. If there is anything wrong, please let your cousin know. .”

Yuanyuan's eye circles were a little red, and he said oh, Zhao Guogang said: "Bring the fish."

Zhao Guogang took over the prepared ingredients and made a steamed fish. Yaoyuan hugged Zhao Guogang's waist from behind and pressed his face on his back.

Zhao Guogang is 1.8 meters tall, and he has to be careful not to touch the smoking machine when cooking. The distance is 1.7 meters, just reaching his shoulder height.

Zhao Guogang let him hold him from behind, turned around to make fish sauce, and moved Yaoyao around, just like when Zhao Guogang cooked for Yuanyao when he was a child, Xiaoyao hugged his legs in a daze and did not let go.

Zhao Guogang said: "He is almost as tall as my father and still acts like a baby. Be careful not to be laughed at by your cousin."

Yuanyuan let go, and went out to watch TV resentfully.

For dinner, there were four dishes and one soup. Zhao Guogang's cooking skills were very good, and what he cooked was Yuanyuan's favorite food. Yuanyuan's mood improved and he didn't care too much.But thinking that school will start after the weekend, and that he has to take such a cousin to his class and have to take care of him, Yuan Yuan feels dizzy.

The last few days of the holiday passed quickly, and Yuan Yuan couldn't help screaming frantically when he got out of the bed.

"what--"

Everything has been tidied up, Tan Ruikang was eating breakfast outside, and he felt hot and uncomfortable as soon as he opened the door, Yao Yuan wished he could go back to the air-conditioned room and continue to sleep.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Yaoyuan sat down at the table with a blank expression, and immediately lost his appetite in front of a plate of steamed buns. Zhao Guogang asked Tan Ruikang to take out the frozen food in the refrigerator and steam it. Tan Ruikang would not touch anything else. Just steamed a large plate of quick-frozen steamed buns.

"Eat more." Tan Ruikang said.

White water with steamed buns, Yuanyuan was completely speechless, got up to take out the doll snacks and shumai shrimp dumplings in the refrigerator, stuffed them in the microwave oven, boiled water to make tea, and didn't say a word.

"Xiaoyuan is angry about getting up." Zhao Guogang said, "Don't mess with him."

Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "Understood."

With the sound of ding, Yuanyuan started to eat his puer tea with shumai shrimp dumplings, barely ate some, and pushed the rest towards Tan Ruikang, Tan Ruikang waved his hand and said: "I don't want to eat."

Yuanyuan put on his socks and put on his shoes, and sat on the sofa before waking up. With a cry, he collapsed on Zhao Guogang, leaning on his lap to watch the morning news on Jade TV.

Tan Ruikang came out with his schoolbag and said, "How do I use this card? How many buses do I take?"

Zhao Guogang said: "Xiaoyuan will teach you, go, go to school on the first day, and get along well with your classmates."

Zhao Guogang went through his wallet and gave Yuanyuan and Tan Ruikang money, each of whom gave five hundred. Yuanyuan put it in his pocket without even looking at it. Tan Ruikang hurriedly said, "No, Uncle, I have..."

"Hurry up, the car will leave later." Yuan Yuan said impatiently, anyway, Tan Ruikang had already spent [-] on his father, and [-] is nothing.

Zhao Guogang said: "Take it. If you run out of living expenses, ask your uncle to ask for it. When you are working, you will have some money for uncle."

As soon as Zhao Guogang said this, Tan Ruikang nodded and took him. Yaoyuan took him downstairs, left the community and took a car to start the first day of the new semester of the third year of junior high school.
