109. The Whole World Is Reborn

For the first time, Yan Chu did not fulfill his promise. He overestimated himself and underestimated the children of this era who were extremely eager for knowledge.

Looking at the report card of the midterm exam, he counted his ranking three times from beginning to end. Yan Chu was sure that he was eleventh. Thinking about the promise he made to the old lady before to enter the top ten, he felt like his face was swollen.

In fact, he was only two points away from the tenth place in the class, the distance of a multiple-choice question. If he had known this, he should have answered one or two more math questions correctly.

He was about to stare at the report card posted on the classroom bulletin board. In the eyes of the class teacher Lao Liu, who had just walked into the classroom, and Jinzhande’s old classmate, this child couldn’t believe his achievements this time.

Look at that red face, it must be because of happiness. Sure enough, this child is very different from what Dade said. He is not a bad child, he just lacks the right education.

As a class teacher, Lao Liu knows every student's grades before coming to this school. To be honest, when Yan Chu just transferred here, he thought this child might hold back the class, because his grades before coming to this school were basically hovering around the passing line, and he was always at the bottom of the school's ranking before, but it turned out that he was not so hopeless.

In this half semester, he witnessed Yan Chu's transformation, from a bad student who was absent from class at the beginning and always wanted to influence his deskmate to bully the girl in front of him, to a good boy who listens to the class seriously and maintains good relations with his classmates.

These changes all came from a heart-to-heart conversation. Lao Liu discovered his cowardice and bluffing pride hidden under his pranks and pampering. He was just a child spoiled by his mother. He had no friends in his previous school because many classmates hated him because of his awkward personality.

At home, he was not liked by his two elder brothers, and his mother, who loved him, would only instill in him that he was the best and that others did not like him because they had no vision. This vicious cycle led him to hate school and reading, and because there was no proper guidance, his personality became more negative under the pampering.

Lao Liu was very glad that he noticed this and helped the child to untie the knot as soon as possible. He was also glad that there were many friendly classmates in their class who were willing to help Yan Chu change with him.

In this half semester, everyone saw Yan Chu's progress, washed away those bad habits, and he was a child that everyone liked.

As a teacher, it is a proud thing to be able to pull a student on the right track. Perhaps it is because Yan Chu's change was personally participated in by him, and he also promoted it. Now Lao Liu is particularly pleasing to Yan Chu. Every time he looks at him, it is as if he is looking at a piece of unpolished jade, wanting to know how dazzling he can be in the end.

"You have made great progress. All the teachers of various subjects have praised you with me. From the 43rd place when you first entered the school to the 11th place now, you have improved by more than 30 places in half a semester. The teacher has great expectations for you, and you should be proud of yourself."

Old Liu patted his proud student on the shoulder. The fact that he could make such great progress in half a semester was enough to prove that Yan Chu was smart. Before, he was just a child who was delayed by the education method. As long as he maintained his current learning state, he would definitely be able to achieve excellent results and be admitted to his ideal university.

"But be modest and calm. You still have ten opponents in the class, and more than a hundred opponents in the grade. The teacher believes that your talent is more than that."

Giving praise naturally requires some pressure and motivation. Old Liu inexplicably believes that this child in front of him will never let him down.

Yan Chu is like an ordinary child who is praised. His expression is hard to hide his excitement and shyness. His eyes reveal his eagerness to try. Obviously, he has listened to what Old Liu said and intends to work hard for it.

His expression made Old Liu very happy. In his years as a teacher, he found another good seedling. Nothing could make a teacher happier than this.

"You said Yan Chu ranked 11th in the class and 132nd in the grade in the midterm exam?"

Jinzhande clenched his hands around the phone. Even though he was very old when he died in his previous life, it didn't mean that his memory was not working well. In fact, in his previous years, every thing about his elder sister was repeated by him, and the impression was even deeper. And the memory of his elder sister was often inseparable from Yan Chu.

If he remembered correctly, Yan Chu's grades had never been related to good grades. In fact, Yan Chu was able to go to high school in his previous life because he helped him to get connections. Otherwise, with his grades, he would have a hard time graduating from junior high school.

But now his old friend said that his nephew, the little bastard who would squander the family fortune in the future, ranked eleventh in the class. You should know that the school he arranged for Yan Chu has a very high admission rate. If he can maintain this score, it may be dangerous to go to university, but it is absolutely certain that he can get into a technical secondary school or a junior college.

Before, he thought that as long as he could smooth out Yan Chu's temper and isolate him from his bad friends, it would be fine. But he didn't expect that he could actually get such a good result. Obviously, when he entered the school, his grades were at the bottom, right?

Jinzhande's first reaction was whether Yan Chu cheated.

Forgive him for speculating about the child with the greatest malice.

It was really because Jinzhande had accumulated too much hatred for his nephew for the rest of his life, but at the same time, he also hated himself. He hated himself for being unknowingly alienated from his eldest sister because of his work. If he had Still staying in Beijing and being able to visit his eldest sister from time to time, he would never fail to notice something like this happening at home.

At that time, he could have dealt with the matter in many ways, the worst of which was to help pay back the money, but the eldest sister would not die because of it.

"Dear Master, are you very prejudiced against that child Yan Chu?"

The silence on the other side of the phone lasted too long. In the office, Old Liu's face darkened and his voice was no longer as cheerful as it was at the beginning.

"What, do you suspect that Yan Chu cheated? Or do you suspect that I, the teacher who was invigilating the exam at the time, was blind and couldn't see clearly the little moves of the candidates below?"

Lao Liu is an experienced educator. He can detect many things very keenly. In fact, these are also the doubts he accumulated during his repeated phone calls with Jinzhan De.

"He is just a child, a fourteen-year-old child. I don't know what image he had in your mind before, but since you chose to hand him over to me, you should have the confidence to believe that he can be changed. ”

Lao Liu felt that it was not only Yan Chu who needed to be taught, but that his old friend might also need to be taught a good lesson: "He has many problems. Can you deny that these problems are related to family education? This problem comes from the children. His mother came from the environment where he grew up. To put it bluntly, is it okay for you to be here? "

Listening to the accusations from his old classmate on the other end of the phone, Jinzhande opened his mouth, but couldn't come up with any words of explanation.

In his previous life, he had a lot of money. He converted his guilt into money for not being able to visit his eldest sister often. He knew that her eldest sister would not accept the cash he gave, so he simply bought some other things and gave them to her because Yan Chu was her favorite. Children, so every time I give something, there are many that Yan Chu can use.

Such as pagers, such as Big Brother, and the red envelopes that are always indispensable during holidays. The eldest sister does not charge money, but it is normal for the elders to give red envelopes to the younger ones at this time. With the eldest sister's love for this son, I am afraid that he will receive it every year He wouldn't hand over the New Year's money. Maybe Yan Chu turned bad and his uncle gave him the greatest material support, but he didn't know it.

Jinzhande's hand holding the microphone was trembling a little. He didn't want to believe the possible fact that she was partly responsible for the death of her eldest sister in her previous life, and he, his uncle, was also partly responsible.

When Yan Chu was a blank slate, they doted on him and indulged him, but they never thought about how to educate him properly. They asked themselves, would he treat his two biological sons as indulgently as he treated Yan Chu's nephew?

He does not, because he hopes that his son will become a promising and useful person. Jinzhande and his wife have always held them to high standards.

In the final analysis, raising but not teaching is the responsibility that both he and the eldest sister should bear.

"Dade, it's not that I want to blame you. It's just that the next time I see Yan Chu, it's time to look at your nephew with new eyes. He has infinite possibilities for shaping. You don't have to let prejudice see him nailed to the one you set. Inside the box.”

Jinzhande hung up the phone, still feeling a little tight and out of breath.

"What's wrong, who called?"

Du Meijuan came in with a cup of ginseng soup. Seeing her husband's face looking a little unhappy, she asked with a smile.

She was very satisfied with her current life. In her previous life, her husband had never let her down. With the memories of her previous life in this life, she thought that he would achieve higher achievements and give her greater glory as a wife.

Of course, the premise is to leave out those so-called relatives who can't help and are just holding back. In the next life, my husband paid too much attention to that place. If she hadn't stopped him before, he even wanted to give Zong Bao and Zong Bao as gifts. When Yu went to study with that little beast, he was completely confused.

Anyway, facing his eldest sister, it was basically impossible for him to maintain his sanity.

Du Meijuan's eyes darkened, but the smile on her face became gentler and sweeter.

"When I went to Xiangjiang before, I bought a lot of bird's nest and fish maw, which I will send to my eldest sister in a few days. These things are good nourishing things for women."

She behaved very virtuously, and what Jinzhaide liked most was her tolerance and understanding.

"I remember that you went to Xiangjiang this time and bought several sets of facial balm. I also gave one set to my eldest sister. Next time I go to Xiangjiang on a business trip, I will remember to buy a few more sets for you."

As a man, Jinzhande didn't understand why women needed so many things to wipe their faces. Thanks to the developed Internet information in later generations, Jinzhande was forced to understand this.

In his memory, the eldest sister never used these things. Before she got married, it was because she was poor, and after she got married, it was because of his arrogant younger brother. If the eldest sister buys those things that seemed unnecessary at the time, it will cause trouble. Come on for more finger pointing.

Later, the eldest brother-in-law died, and the eldest sister was even less in the mood to use those things.

But as long as she is a woman, she must love beauty. Jinzhande knows that his wife is very experienced in this aspect, and what she likes must not be much different.

"Eldest sister may not be used to using those things."

Du Meijuan's nails almost dug into her palms. Those sets of skin care products were all well-known French brands. Even now, each set cost her nearly three hundred yuan, which is equivalent to less than half a year's salary of an ordinary worker.

"It was my fault. My elder sister had never used these things before. As long as she used them a few more times, she would get used to them naturally." She noticed the change in her husband's expression and changed her tone and expression as quickly as possible.

"I had forgotten about this before. Thanks to you for reminding me."

Her expression was gentle. The fish maw and bird's nest that she was going to give to Marigold were only glamorous on the outside. In fact, their real value was far less than one percent of the fish maw and bird's nest she was taking now. It was just that men never paid attention to these little things and details, and the group of bumpkins in the Yan family knew nothing and thought they really got something good. As for the amount of money spent, that bag of tonic was less than half of a box of balsam.

In terms of the life that Du Meijuan enjoyed in the future and her expanded horizons, she would never be able to get over the 180 yuan, but for Marigold and the Yan family, she just couldn't get over it.

In her eyes, they were a group of leeches, sucking the blood and flesh of their family for a lifetime under the so-called kindness.

It's not easy for Jinzhande, but how much money she spent to raise her man, all these years, she has already paid it back. That woman just took advantage of her man's kindness, and always wanted to act like a mother-in-law in front of her, bah.

No matter what she thought in her heart, Du Meijuan's expression was always well controlled, and even Jinzhande didn't see his wife's little thoughts.

"Meijuan, thank you."

Jinzhande held his wife's hand. When he got married in his previous life, he was always worried that his future wife would have unhappiness with his sister, and Meijuan never made him embarrassed on this point.

She understood his guilt and respect for his elder sister, and was willing to be filial to his elder sister with him. Many times, Meijuan made up for him in places where he hadn't thought it through.

In the previous life, he paid off Yan Chu's debt of 800,000 yuan, and Meijuan still didn't say anything, but comforted him, cared for him, and tried to get him out of the grief of his elder sister's death as soon as possible.

Therefore, Jinzhande loved and respected his wife. Therefore, when he created such a huge fortune, he never thought of following his business partners to support young and beautiful little stars, or to play with the opposite sex in other occasions. He was loyal to his marriage and family, and tried to give his wife and children the best life.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The elder sister has done you a favor, which means she has done me a favor. Naturally, I will respect her as my own sister."

The couple loved each other, but Du Meijuan was thinking in her heart that if the things in the previous life could have happened earlier, they would be happier without those annoying people.

Jinzhande didn't know his wife's thoughts at all. He thought about what his old classmates said in his mind, thinking that he should find an opportunity to seriously understand his little nephew.

In the two months of rebirth, in addition to going out for company affairs, Jinzhande visited his elder sister Jinzhande more frequently than in his previous life, but he consciously avoided Saturday nights and Sunday daytime when Yan Chu would be at home.

The eldest sister has complained more than once that the uncle and nephew always staggered. Jinzhande thought that maybe next time he should choose the time he avoided before to show up at the Yan family.

*****

"Yan Jinbao, how long have we brothers not seen each other? You are really, you forgot all of us after changing schools."

Yan Chu had just come out of school and crossed two streets when he was stopped by two sloppy young men in old school uniforms.

They looked about the same age as Yan Chu. Looking at the school badges on the school uniforms, they were students of the school where the original body used to be.

Yan Chu remembered that the time of dismissal for each school was the same. Some students might be kept in class because of their homework, but it was absolutely impossible to dismiss school early.

Calculating the distance of the previous school, if they wanted to stop him on this street at this time, these two people must have skipped school.

He raised his eyes and looked carefully at the faces of the two people in front of him, and soon recognized their identities. This time, those people were even more impatient than he thought.

"Chen San, Lou Hui, why are you here to find me?"

Yan Chu smiled and punched the two men in the chest, just like they used to get along.

Damn, it hurts. Has this kid taken a powerful diamond pill after not seeing him for a while?

Chen San and Lou Hui, the two young men who stopped Yan Chu, covered their chests and grimaced in pain, but they thought that the one who just punched them was just a thin boy, and the other party's expression showed that he didn't use any strength in the two punches just now, and his punches were light.

Showing such a look, it seemed that they were useless. Almost a moment later, they endured the pain and returned to their normal standing posture. It was just that their mouths were bared from time to time, and it could be seen that the heavy blows on their chests were indeed not light.

The inexplicable self-esteem of children of this age and age is really hard to understand.

"It's been so long since you came to play with us, so of course we can only come to you."

Chen San put his arm around Yan Chu's shoulder and said like a good brother.

"Your uncle is really something. Why did he let you transfer schools for no reason? Why don't you talk to your mom and ask her to let you transfer back?"

They used to look down on this kid Yan Chu, but who made this kid rich? His mother was very generous to him. She always gave him fifty cents from time to time to buy some snacks at the canteen or buy those paintings in a second-hand bookstore. Ben and martial arts novels, and the other party's food is good. The lunch he brings every day is white rice or white steamed buns. Almost every meal has meat. If there is no meat, his mother will also pack two hard-boiled eggs.

He has a bad temper, and he is overly arrogant because of his mother's pampering. He always wants to deny the cleaning in the class, which leads to the fact that the classmates in the class don't like him very much.

He also has a rich uncle, who often shows off to his classmates what interesting toys his uncle has bought for him. His arrogant and arrogant appearance makes him have few friends in the class.

Making friends with him was just an accident. They found that this seemingly arrogant young man was actually extremely easy to coax. It seemed that it didn't take much effort to coax him to share his pocket money, his sumptuous lunch, and even the food his uncle gave him. Toys, for what ridiculous friendship.

For the sake of money and fashionable toys, they reluctantly took him to play with them.

"I'm afraid this won't work. I promised my mother that I would study hard in the future. I want to get into college."

Yan Chu hesitated and rejected their proposal again and again.

"How boring reading is."

When Chen San and Lou Hui heard that the word "study" was pronounced, they reluctantly went to junior high school, and each of them had already planned to go directly to work in the billiards room with their elder brother after three years of junior high school.

"Recently, our brothers found something interesting, but we don't have any money. Your mother must have given you pocket money, so just lend us some. I'll make sure to return it to you next time I see you."

They had heard that Yan Chu’s uncle had made a fortune. He had been so good to Yan Chu before, so he would not lose him now. Especially Yan Chu’s mother, who probably gave him even more pocket money. .

"I don't have any money with me."

Yan Chu frowned: "The current school is a boarding system. You can't even go out of the school on weekdays. Three meals a day are eaten in the school cafeteria. There is no canteen in the school and you can't buy any snacks, so my mother has been waiting for a long time. They haven’t given me any pocket money, and I don’t have much money left.”

"Don't bring any money?"

Chen San and Lou Hui looked at each other. In view of Yan Chu's generosity in the past, they did not suspect that the other party was lying to them.

"Then let's make an appointment and you can bring the money with you when you go out tomorrow."

The tone of the two of them was very casual, and they didn't seem to be asking for help at all.

"I made an appointment with my classmates tomorrow to buy tutoring materials. I will use the money." Yan Chu once again rejected the proposal of two former good friends.

"What kind of tutoring materials are you buying? Besides, can't you ask your mother for money to buy the tutoring materials?"

The tone of the two children was a little impatient, but the environment of people coming and going on the road and their temperament at this age also prevented them from making threats.

"But......"

Yan Chu stopped talking and changed his tone and asked, "First tell me what your use is, and then I will consider whether to lend you money."

"Why, are you interested too?"

Chen San's eyes lit up after hearing Yan Chu's words. Why didn't he expect that as long as he pulled Yan Chu over and noticed the fun inside, he would naturally take the initiative to ask for money from his mother. By then, friends like them would also be able to Take advantage of it.

"Why don't you bring some money tomorrow, and we'll take you to see it? I'm sure you'll like it too."

Chen San's arm around Yan Chu's neck tightened, and Yan Chu's nose inevitably smelled a smell of sourness and sweat. He broke away from Chen San's arm without leaving a trace, revealing that he was very touched by this matter. Looks of interest.

"Is it interesting?"

he asked curiously.

"Of course, it's just that you have to hide this from your mother. You can't let her or other adults know about it." Chen San and Lou Hui also knew that place after following their elder brother for a long time.

It's a pity that they don't have much money, so they can't play many interesting games.

"I promise not to tell." Yan Chu swore with a smile.

The three of them discussed the time, and Chen San and Lou Hui didn't stop him anymore. They were going to help their eldest brother watch the show in the evening. They were young and often couldn't be put to great use. If they didn't be more active, I'm afraid. The eldest brother can no longer see them in his eyes.

*****

Early on Sunday morning, Jinzhan De picked up a large bag of gifts prepared by his wife and walked towards his eldest sister's house.

Because his two sons have enrolled in some extracurricular specialty tutoring classes, his wife, who is responsible for transporting his sons to and from school, cannot go with him, which Jinzhande is very considerate of.

It just so happens that some things that may happen today may feel awkward if your wife is present.

When he walked to the alley not far from the courtyard where the Yan family lived, Jin Zhande saw a familiar figure with sharp eyes. Standing next to that figure were two strange teenagers.

The two children were dressed casually, wearing baggy tops and jeans with several holes cut in them. They didn't stand in good posture. At first glance, they didn't look like obedient and well-behaved good students.

Yan Chu actually hangs out with such a person?

Jinzhande clenched the hand that was holding her a little tighter, and a surge of anger arose in his heart. Just thinking about the reminders on the phone from his old classmates, he did not rush over immediately, but chose to move to a more hidden place so that he could see what was happening there without the other party noticing him.

Because the distance was a bit far, I couldn't hear what they said clearly, but I could see their movements. Yan Chu seemed to give something to the two gangsters, and then those people said something and left with unhappy expressions. When the two people walked away, Jinzhande stood up from the corner and walked towards Yan Chu.

"Uncle."

Seeing the expression of his uncle Yan Chu, whom he hadn't seen for many days, he was very happy, but he probably guessed that the scene just now might have been seen by his uncle, and his face was a little pale. Such performance, in Jinzhande's eyes, was a symbol of guilt.

He was still a child, he could change, Jinzhande comforted himself like this.

"Are those two your friends?" Jinzhande asked calmly.

"No, yes." Yan Chu's answer was a little flustered, and his eyes flickered a little.

"Yes is yes, no is no, what did you say to them just now, I saw you gave them money?" Jinzhande recalled the stack of things Yan Chu had just handed over. It was banknotes, but he didn't know the exact amount.

"The two just now are my classmates from the previous school. They came to me to borrow money this time."

When Yan Chu talked about the two classmates, there was a hint of fear and timidity in his eyes, and Jinzhande saw this clearly.

If it was as he guessed before, why would his nephew be so scared, or was there something hidden that he didn't know.

"They know that I have a rich uncle, and they also know that my mother often gives me pocket money." Yan Chu lowered his head, and his shoulders drooped down. "Those two people are hanging out with Boss Qiu. The classmates in the class are afraid of them. I dare not not lend them money."

Boss Qiu!

Jinzhande heard this familiar name with his sharp ears. In his previous life, he paid off Yan Chu's debts, and the creditor who lent him the loan shark was named Qiu. Is there any connection here?

"How many times has this happened?"

Jinzhande's voice was a little tight. He looked at the frightened nephew in front of him and found that he and his elder sister seemed to have not really understood his situation in school. If he hadn't accidentally bumped into this scene this time, would they not know that he had been bullied by bad students in school before.

"Several times, uncle, don't tell mom, if mom knew, she would be angry."

Yan Chu raised his head with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"Besides this, what else are you hiding from us?"

Jinzhande didn't promise anything, but asked again.

"They said they would take me to broaden my horizons next time. I don't want to go, but they said they will come to see me next week." Yan Chu's voice was obviously trembling with fear.

Jinzhande clearly realized that the person standing in front of him was really just a child. When the elders didn't know, he was under a lot of pressure. In the previous life, it was because they didn't notice this that he was led into the abyss step by step by those bad guys.

But he was very glad that his nephew had not turned bad. This time he noticed it in time and had the opportunity to stop it.

Now thinking about it, how could the child that the eldest sister liked be bad in nature? It was just that he did not send Yan Chu to boarding school in the previous life, but let him stay in the original class, and get along with those children who would threaten him and ask him for money. Under such great pressure, he certainly could not study well.

This is also the reason why the nephew made great progress after changing schools. Jinzhande found a reasonable reason for everything.

Looking at the nephew who is still pure white, Jinzhande's eyes are much gentler and kinder.

He realized his mistakes in the previous life, and the current nephew is innocent. He should not face him with the attitude of the previous life.

Jinzhande held his nephew, who was only as tall as his chest, in his arms: "Just study with peace of mind. Your uncle will take care of other things for you."

All the nodes were just right. In a place where Jinzhande could not see, Yan Chu's eyes were calm. Starting from the expected call from Lao Liu, this was just a chess game that had just started. As long as you can calculate people's hearts, everything will be easy.

The uncle and nephew said nothing when they returned home. The family had a lively lunch.

On the other hand, although they were surprised why Yan Chu suddenly changed his tone and did not participate in their activities, the two brothers who got the money were still happily sent away. They came to the billiard room of Qiu Lao Da in their mouths and entered the secret underground casino.

They didn't have much money on hand, but they could play a few games to have fun. If they were lucky, they could win a few packs of cigarettes. It didn't matter if they lost, because the money was not theirs anyway.

But before they could have fun, a group of police surrounded the billiard room and found the secret basement at lightning speed, arresting all the gamblers in the room.

"Brother Wang, what's going on?"

Qiu, who everyone called Boss, came out with a cigarette and sweaty head, and asked one of the police.

"Qiu Hu, you are bribing police officers, which is aggravated." Wang, the police, glared at him and said.

Most of these underground casinos have umbrellas, and it is obvious that Wang, the police, is Qiu Hu's umbrella, but for some reason this time, the umbrella is unreliable, and it seems that they want to clear their relationship.

Qiu Hu's expression became serious, and he realized that this time the matter seemed not simple.

"Take them all away."

Wang Gongan's heart was beating like a pounding drum. He just hoped Qiu Hu would be smart and not say anything he shouldn't, otherwise he would be finished.

This action was notified by the higher-ups. It was said that they received an anonymous report. This report letter was not only sent to the Municipal Bureau, but also to some authoritative newspapers. If he went out now, I'm afraid there would be a lot of reporters outside. At that time, there were so many people watching at the Public Security Bureau, and it was impossible for him to tip off Qiu Hu.

Now is the time of severe crackdown. The amount of gambling in a crowd is huge, and some students and civil servants are involved. Shooting is possible.

The weather gradually turned cold, but Wang Gongan was sweating. If he had known that this day would come, he would not have gotten involved for that little money.

All the gangsters like Qiu Hu were detained. Chen San and Lou Hui were still young, so they were detained for a few days and educated before being taken away by their parents.

Life in the detention center is probably not easy. The two children have heard too much about executions. They are terrified these days. They are half scared. The majestic Qiu brother in their minds was arrested by the police so easily. The two realized that it is not so easy to get involved in the underworld. After being taken back by their parents, they became much more honest. Fortunately, the bets they won were not big. With this lesson, they will probably think more about the consequences of their actions in the future.

Jinzhande came back from his eldest sister's house and began to think about how to deal with Qiu Hu. He didn't know that Qiu Hu was already finished.
