In the central room of the Xia Family home, his father was sitting on a bamboo chair while Xia Jianhua and his uncle were sitting at the dining table. At the table was a bowl of peanuts.
Little uncle stood at the side with a cattail leaf fan, fanning himself while eating peanuts.
In addition, Grandma was playing with fireflies on the grain-sunning field with Xia Mei and Xia Qinglong.
This was Xia Jianhua's signal.
He said that there was something very important. The little guy was not tight-lipped and was afraid that they would go to the village and talk about it, so he asked Grandma to bring him out and keep an eye on the situation.
Although the sky was already dark, it was not that there were no people walking around the countryside at this time.
If someone came, his mother would be outside with the children, so he could inform them in advance.
"Second, if you have anything to say, say it. You're making it seem like an underground gang meeting. I'm not used to it!”
Uncle was sitting at the table, not in the mood to eat peanuts.
After First Uncle spoke, First Aunt also said,"That's right! Jianhua, everyone is here. What's the matter?”
Xia Jianhua glanced at the old man who was peeling peanuts for Xia Qi to eat. He sat up straight and said,""Okay, then I'll say it.
However, when I say that I've agreed to it before, don't interrupt me later. Especially Old Master, don't be angry. Can you wait for me to finish?”
"Hmm?"
The old man's hand that was peeling the peanut shell paused. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes at Xia Jianhua. There was a fierceness in his eyes that Xia Qi had never seen before.
"Speak, don't say anything funny. Did you cause trouble outside?”
Grandpa Shen was still calm and didn't get up, but his tone and demeanor still made Xia Jianhua and his uncle shiver.
This expression reminded them of their childhood.
"Haha! Dad, it's a good thing that you didn't cause trouble, but...
Forget it, I'll just say it!”
Xia Jianhua smiled awkwardly. He didn't want to put on an act anymore, because he realized that he couldn't put on an act in front of his grandpa!
Xia Jianhua reached out and took a black briefcase that he had been keeping by his side. Then, he unzipped it.
The family members in the room watched the situation silently.
Until…
"Second Brother, why is there so much money?”
"That's right! Jianhua, why do you have so much money on you?”
Xia Qi noticed that his grandfather, who was sitting casually at the side, instantly straightened up.
This was because Xia Jianhua's actions were really unexpected.
They were familiar with his black briefcase. After Xia Jianhua became an honest man, he had this briefcase with him. Sometimes, he would bring it with him. There were some documents, pens, lesson plans, and teaching materials in it.
But today, he didn't take out any textbooks or books. Instead, he took out money, and it wasn't a small amount either. A plastic bag contained a stack of money.
It was a thick stack of cash. They had never seen such a thick stack of cash before.
"I was going to take it out later, but now I've decided to take it out first.”
"You took out all the money you saved?”The old man frowned.
Although the family was separated, the old man knew very well how strong their families were.
Xia Jianhua was the wealthiest person in the family. He had an iron rice bowl and had saved some money over the years. He knew that.
"No! Dad, this is what I've earned over the past few days!"
"Hmm?" The old man's eyes immediately widened, and the veins on his hand that was grabbing the armrest of the bamboo chair bulged.
First Aunt exclaimed loudly,"What is it? You earned it? How did you earn it!"
The eldest uncle and the youngest uncle weren't any better. The eldest uncle was about to take a sip of water from the cup, but his hand shook and the water spilled out. The youngest uncle stood there with his mouth open and eyes wide open. He looked at the money that Xia Jianhua put on the table, and then at Xia Jianhua.
Xia Jianhua nodded."Yes, you didn't hear wrongly. This isn't my old money. I earned it recently!"”
"Second Brother, you're rich!"”
"Jianhua, what did you do?"”
"Brother-in-law!"
The few of them opened their mouths, but the old man was still calm.
He frowned and shouted in a low voice,"What are you all doing? Shut up and let Second Brother speak!”
The old man's voice immediately silenced the eldest uncle, his wife, and his youngest uncle.
Xia Jianhua looked at the old man and thought about what he had said before he said,""Actually, I earned this money from selling fish and prawns these few days!”
"Didn't you only earn two cents from these fish and prawns?”Xia Jianhua's aunt couldn't help but say after Xia Jianhua's words.
The others also looked at Xia Jianhua in confusion.
In this era, becoming rich from business was still a foreign term in the countryside.
They didn't expect Xia Jianhua, a teacher with a secure job, to do this.
Xia Jianhua glanced at his aunt and smiled awkwardly.""Hehe, actually, I lied to you. I didn't collect the fish and prawns for my classmate. I collected them myself!”
"Hmm?"
"Brother-in-law, why did you buy so many fish and prawns? And you've earned so much money. Don't tell me you earned it from fish and prawns!”
The young uncle-in-law quickly asked his question.
In fact, this was not only his question, but also the question of all the family members in the room except Xia Qi.
They all looked at Xia Jianhua, waiting for him to explain.
"That's actually the case." Xia Jianhua nodded.
"How is that possible?"
"How did you earn it?"
Before First Uncle could react, First Aunt and Little Uncle exclaimed again.
Grandpa Sheng remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Jianhua.
Xia Jianhua looked at Grandpa Sheng and said,""Dad, I actually resigned!"
"Hmm?"
The old man, who had not stood up all this time, instantly stood up.
Fortunately, Xia Qi was startled at this moment. He instantly let out a cry and pretended to be brought down by his grandfather. He sat back on the ground and started crying!
