Chapter 189 Uncle's Love
As the children grew up, Darong and Zhong Yunxing also entered middle age. After wasting half their lives, they realized that only by maintaining a relatively cold sense of boundaries can they maintain a long-lasting and peaceful sibling relationship.
Darong understood what Zhong Yunxing meant, and also knew that once she opened her mouth, Xiao Ling would think she was jealous, so she stopped asking about Linlin's affairs.
Ever since Darong prepared the family’s New Year’s Eve dinner by herself last Spring Festival, she began to feel dissatisfied.
Zhong Yunhong knew that he had no way to influence Wu Meifeng, so in order to avoid any conflicts, he suggested ordering New Year's Eve dinner.
Since then, the New Year atmosphere in Mother Zhong's home has become even more bland.
When Ruyi was a child, the family was busy chatting and laughing during the New Year, but eventually, there was no trace of it left.
"Ruyi, when will you start your internship?" Zhong Yunsheng suddenly asked Ruyi during the meal.
"Usually it's after the defense in the senior year. I'm only a junior, so I still have a year."
Ruyi looked up at Zhong Yunsheng, wondering why he suddenly asked her this question.
Zhong Yunsheng nodded and continued, "Don't just wait until your senior year to do an internship. Come to my place during the summer vacation and learn more so that it will be easier for you to find a job after you graduate. Have you passed the junior exam?"
"Um, not yet." Ruyi looked at Zhong Yunsheng with some guilt.
Among the three brothers of the Zhong family, Zhong Yunsheng is the least talkative one, but Ruyi is always more afraid that he will ask her questions.
Because he either didn't speak, or when he spoke he always talked about Ruyi's key points, for example, when it came to the grading exam, others were only concerned about her accounting grade, but Zhong Yunsheng even asked about the audit threshold.
"You finished your undergraduate studies and didn't even have a junior level, what kind of job can you do in the future?"
"Oh, I see. I will definitely sign up this year."
Ruyi didn't dare to breathe, for fear that Zhong Yunsheng would ask about her grades this year. She really didn't know how to explain that she had failed the practical course.
Fortunately, after entering university, no one seemed to like to ask about grades anymore, so Ruyi was lucky enough to escape the disaster.
Ruyi passed the make-up exam before school started, but with a record of failing a course, she became the focus of attention in class. It was almost impossible for Ruyi to skip classes again.
Life after that was uneventful. Linlin, who was two years younger than Ruyi, graduated a year earlier than Ruyi because she was attending a three-plus-two school. The first thing she did after graduation was to get engaged.
In July 2011, during the graduation season, Linlin, who had just turned 7, got engaged to her rich second-generation boyfriend, and both families began busy preparing for the grand wedding in May of the following year.
"My sister has set a wedding date for May next year. It feels weird, as if life has become a formula. I don't know what to say."
Ruyi leaned on Xiaohuya's shoulder with a thoughtful look on her face.
"When love is there, marriage is an inevitable result," Little Tiger Teeth replied softly.
Ruyi, who has not yet left the campus, has no idea what marriage means, but Xiaohuya is already over 30 years old, and his desire for marriage and family is far beyond Ruyi's understanding.
"Ruyi, I bought a house, it's a price-limited house, the location is not very good, but there is no burden, my provident fund is just enough to pay off the loan."
After the two of them were silent for a while, Xiao Huya suddenly spoke.
"Is it far?" Ruyi raised her head and looked at Xiao Huya and asked.
"It's not far, but it's just been developed and the occupancy rate is still low, so it looks quite desolate." Little Tiger Teeth said truthfully.
"That's good, it's quiet. I like a quiet environment."
Little Tiger Tooth didn't expect that Ruyi didn't have any complaints. Instead, she responded with a warm smile very optimistically.
This actually has a lot to do with the teachings that Ruyi received from Darong since she was a child. Although the three views that Darong gave her were not the completely selfless dedication of Darong's mother back then, she also taught Ruyi very seriously how to be independent.
Ruyi never complains about not getting any gifts from her parents. Instead, she always feels sorry for the hard work and difficulties of Darong and Zhong Yunxing. She has never been blessed with any halo since she was a child, but she always stands out among her peers.
Darong and Zhong Yunxing certainly did not have the ability to let Ruyi enjoy a childhood of financial freedom, but the full love and care they gave her made Ruyi understand more deeply the value of family.
So in Ruyi's later life, she was never afraid of the thorns ahead, because she always had a way out in her life.
"Ruyi..." Little Tiger Teeth called out Ruyi's name, and then suddenly fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Ruyi turned her head and looked at Xiaohuya.
"What do you want to eat?" Little Tiger Teeth swallowed the words that he had prepared for a long time.
"Ice cream..."
"eat first!"
Ruyi looked at the little tiger tooth beside her with a smile on her face, and she suddenly felt that her confession at the time was so brave and correct.
Because of the internship requirements arranged by Zhong Yunsheng for Ruyi, during the summer vacation of her junior year, Ruyi experienced the hard work of workers for the first time.
Zhong Yunsheng used free labor without any hesitation.
"My uncle is simply an evil capitalist. He makes me do all the odd jobs. Even buying lunch for him is something I have to do on my own errands! I quit, I quit, I quit..."
Ruyi lazily lay on the sofa, complaining to Zhong Yunxing about Zhong Yunsheng's "inhumane" extreme exploitation of her.
"Hahahaha... I'll call your uncle and I promise to relay every word to you."
Zhong Yunxing liked to watch the fun and didn't mind making trouble, so he actually picked up the phone and pretended to make a call.
"Dad!" Ruyi immediately gave him a sharp look.
Even though Ruyi is showing off in front of Zhong Yunxing all day long, she becomes as docile as a little lamb as soon as she sees Zhong Yunsheng. She hits him wherever he points and is as obedient as he wants.
To put it bluntly, she is still a bully who only picks on the weak and fears the strong. Although Zhong Yunsheng has never really criticized her, his comments are too sharp and relevant to her major. In front of Zhong Yunsheng, the poor student Ruyi is always scolded to the point of feeling ashamed, and can only go home and study hard to make up for her shortcomings.
After a summer of hard work, Zhong Ruyi's professional level has improved significantly.
"Start preparing for the intermediate exam this year, don't wait until after graduation. If you don't plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam, you won't have the energy to study after you start working. Don't relax yourself. Girls also need to have their own jobs so that they won't be constrained by others in the future."
At the end of the summer vacation, Zhong Yunsheng set a small goal for Ruyi. Ruyi, who had just passed the junior level exam, had no choice but to accept her fate and accept Zhong Yunsheng's uncle-like love.
