Chapter 96 Visiting and Giving Gifts
  Is it a photo of my mother?
  My mind was slightly moved, so I got off the table because I was full, and walked to the photo to look at it carefully.

This photo seems to be more than twenty years old, at least thirty years old.

Because the background of the photo is a newly built brick house, the couplets celebrating the housewarming are still affixed.

On the right is a woman with a somewhat plump figure and a large mole on her eyebrow. She is sitting on the only chair in the picture, with a little boy of about ten years old on her lap.

Next to her was a very bookish man.

The man has an ordinary appearance and a thin body, but he is full of energy. He is wearing clean clothes and glasses. Next to him is a pretty girl with a ponytail, whose temperament is very similar to his.
  The appearance is also very similar to the photos of me when I was a child.

I couldn't get out of my mind for a long time in front of the photo. It wasn't until I got down from the table at my uncle's house that I realized that I had been looking at it for too long.

Perhaps because I am a wealthy person today, this family greeted me very warmly and asked me to sit down.

My aunt held my hand and chatted with me about home affairs again, but I really disliked this aunt who coughed, sneezed occasionally, and picked her teeth from time to time when she spoke. After sitting for a while, she stood up and said goodbye. Ignoring the request to stay, he returned directly to Anxing County.

My heart was burning when I came here, and I felt like a stone when I left.

In my mother's original family, my grandmother should have favored sons over daughters.

There was a lot of information in that photo, but no one except grandpa gave her a 'reward' look.

Maybe my mother was happy before my grandfather was alive.

That's why I like intellectuals very much, and I look for Li Xianyun, who is also similar to my grandfather.

However, not all intellectuals are human beings
  I sighed deeply and finally gave up the idea of ​​finding relatives. I reopened the door of Zhi Ma Xiang Shop and prepared to do business honestly.

It's just that before I had a good birthday for two days, someone came looking for me again.

Moreover, the person who came to find me was not Bai Zhaodi, or Father Lu, as I thought.

Instead, all three of my uncle's family came, except Bai Zhaodi.

How could it be them?

Did Bai Zhaodi tell them?
  Impossible, I shook my head in my mind.

A sister who has some money and is willing to help is sometimes much better than a family member who has been sucking the bones out of her for more than ten years.

And she didn't come herself
  I'm afraid not. It's quite a distance to Anxing County, so you wouldn't want to spend the fare to take her, right?

The more I thought about it, the more reliable it became. Then I looked at these three people who were uncharacteristically well-dressed and started looking around after entering the door with gifts.
  This is obviously something I want to ask for!
  I understood the whole story in my heart. Faced with their fawning smiles, I felt a little bored and said:

"Something happened?"

My uncle handed me two pieces of pork ribs tied with red ribbons. The fat on his face trembled and he said with a smile:
  "As my eldest niece said, she can't come if she has nothing to do?"

"Last time you came to visit relatives, we have to return the favor now! Didn't I just kill a pig today and just wanted to show you two ribs?"

"Last time, my eldest niece only mentioned Anxing County. We spent a lot of time asking around, hahaha. Fortunately, you are like your mother, beautiful and conspicuous, otherwise it would be really hard to find her, hahaha."

I actually didn’t quite hear what was said next.

Because that bastard Bai Yaozu called me sister a few times with a playful smile, and as if he had received some kind of death-free gold medal, he passed me directly, walked to my boss's seat, sat down, and opened my cash drawer. He smiled and emptied the drawer of all the money and stuffed it all into his pocket.

I watched the movements of this bastard, and my heart suddenly filled with anger.

Fortunately, all the change in my drawer was for change, not even two hundred yuan.

Otherwise, if it were a large banknote I kept in the store as a spare, I would be so angry that I would throw this thing out on the spot!

I was still calming down the anger in my heart, and I didn’t reach out to take the ribs, nor did I reply. My aunt, who was looking around, suddenly became a little unhappy, and opened her mouth with harsh words:
  "Hey, Bei Wang, let me tell you that our eldest niece is capable!"

"Look, you bring her freshly killed ribs, and she's not willing to take them!"

"Having eaten good meat, why don't you look down on the pork raised by ordinary people? But I look at this simple shop, how can you still make so much money eating good meat?"

"What kind of way to make a fortune is this? Why don't you tell your uncle to give it a try? Maybe he secretly set up a bed upstairs or in the back room and drew the curtain to make money."

Seeing that he was getting more and more angry, my uncle quickly shouted:
  "Can you fucking talk? If you can't, just shut up!"

"You didn't even look at how many things they brought us last time and how much they were worth!"

“Can ribs compare to those?!”

My uncle's loud shouts echoed in the Zhima Incense Shop. It was rare for my aunt to see him angry, so she immediately stopped talking and only looked at me with her eyes.

The two of them sang together, but I didn't bother to watch and still didn't say anything.

The two of them pretended to talk for a few more words, but when they saw that I didn't talk to me about ways to make money, and didn't reach out to take the meat, they finally calmed down. My uncle put the two ribs on the table and said with a forced smile:

"Niece, don't look down on me. This is wild meat. It's very valuable. It's more than twice as expensive as ordinary meat!"

So what if it’s more than double?
  I sneered in my heart:
  "Just tell me, why are you here with me?"

Although Bai Yaozu is young, he is shrewd from the bottom of his heart. Feeling that my attitude was wrong during the two meetings, he immediately walked out from behind the table, walked to his mother and whispered:

"Mom, is this going to work? I just asked you to bring some good things. What's the use of bringing more than ten yuan of meat?"

"Look at my sister who is not happy now."

Bai Yaozu thought his voice was very low, but I have practiced secret techniques and have already developed the skill of listening to the wind and arguing with paper, and I can hear what he said clearly.

His aunt patted his hand to reassure him, then poked his uncle behind him and winked.

The uncle was silent for a long time, then he bravely said with a smile:

"Niece, we saw you last time and thought you had some abilities."

"It just so happened that Yaozu passed the final exam this year. His score was not good, with a total score of 83 points. We don't want to go to a junior high school in the nearest school district, so I wanted to ask if you can arrange a good junior high school for Yaozu?"

If I remember correctly, the test paper for primary school to junior high school should be 300 points?
  This Bai Yaozu scored 83 in the three subjects combined?
  This kind of person can only thank the compulsory teaching staff for having books to read! How can I afford to arrange for a fool like this who can't pass 30 in a single subject to enter junior high school! ?
