Chapter 77
77 Chapter 76, I Will Not Let You Off
Ji Zixuan looked up at Li Xu, then took a step forward and took Zhang Kun’s red packet. He said in a low voice, “Thank you, Uncle Zhang!”
Zhang Kun heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Li Xu. He smiled and placed the remaining two red packets in front of Ji Zi’ang and Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Zi’ang and Ji Yuanyuan naturally accepted the red packets.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhang!” The siblings said in unison.
Zhang Kun rubbed his hands and looked toward the kitchen. He asked uncomfortably, “I’ll go help, Yong Zi can’t handle it by himself, right?”
Li Xu was about to stop him when Ji Yuanyuan came forward and grabbed Zhang Kun’s hand, “Uncle Zhang, hurry and sit down. I’ve already brewed tea for you.”
Ji Zi’ang also went to grab Zhang Kun’s other hand, “Uncle Zhang, I can prove that Yuanyuan really brewed the tea.”
Zhang Kun was pulled by the two children and sat on the sofa.
Ji Yuanyuan served the tea and placed it in front of Zhang Kun, “Uncle Zhang, hurry up and take a sip.”
Zhang Kun hurriedly reached out for the tea and took a sip.
He was too nervous and did not taste anything. However, Zhang Kun still nodded his head with a face full of praise, “It’s too delicious. It’s indeed Yuanyuan’s tea.”
Ji Yuanyuan climbed onto the sofa and sat beside Zhang Kun. “Uncle Zhang, I’ll make it for you when you came in the future.”
Zhang Kun could not help but laugh when he heard this word, “Okay.”
Ji Zixuan stood at the back. Seeing that Zhang Kun and Ji Yuanyuan were chatting so well, he looked a little disappointed.
Seeing this, Ji Zi’ang pulled Ji Zixuan’s hand and pulled him over.
Ji Zixuan was the boss, and his thoughts were more meticulous. Therefore, when Zhang Kun faced Ji Zixuan, he became a little nervous and subconsciously looked at Li Xu.
Li Xu gave him an encouraging look. Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room was warm, she went into the kitchen to help Li Yong.
Zhang Kun gulped and took the initiative to speak to Ji Zixuan, “Zixuan, I heard from your mother that your grades have always been very good, right?”
Ji Zixuan nodded his head and replied humbly, “Not bad.”
Although his grades were good at such a young age, he was not proud or complacent at all. Zhang Kun looked at Ji Zixuan with admiration, “You don’t have to be so humble, you’re very outstanding.”
Ji Zixuan pursed his lips and did not say anything.
“Of course, my Big Brother always gets first place in his cla.s.s. He has already gotten a few stacks of awards,” Ji Zi’ang said with pride, “My mom still has them. Uncle Zhang, let me show them to you.”
With that, he ran back to his bedroom. Soon, he returned with a stack of awards. He spread them out on the sofa and showed them to Zhang Kun one by one.
“Look, this is the first grade of elementary school. My Big Brother got a Triple-A1 Student Award, Model Student Award, and Outstanding Cla.s.s Representative. This is the second grade…”
One old and one young began to look through Ji Zixuan’s awards.
From time to time, they would even praise Ji Zixuan.
“Is my Big Brother awesome?”
“Awesome, he’s really awesome!”
“The teachers all like my Big brother. His grades are always much higher than the second place.”
“Zixuan is too outstanding. If I were a teacher, I would also like him.”
“So when we were in primary school in the village, my Big Brother was first place. Later, when we came here to attend primary school, my Big Brother was still first place.”
“This means that your Big Brother is very capable and will always be first place no matter where he goes.”
…
Ji Yuanyuan, who was listening to Ji Zi’ang and Zhang Kun’s bragging and flattery, felt a little embarra.s.sed for Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan, the person involved, was even more embarra.s.sed. He sat on the edge of the sofa, feeling a little uneasy.
At first, he was still calm, but later on, his face became redder and redder.
Li Yong came out with the dishes in his hands and sneered, “Ji Zi’ang, those who don’t know will think that this Certificate of Honor is yours. Show your Uncle Zhang your Certificate of Honor too.”
The smile on Ji Zi’ang’s face froze.
Zhang Kun also learned some information about Ji Zi’ang from Li Xu. He heard that Ji Zi’ang did not study well and used to be at the bottom all year round. But now, he seemed to have improved a little.
“Our Zi’ang will definitely get the award this year, right?” Zhang Kun hurriedly said when he saw the smile on Ji Zi’ang’s face disappear.
Then, he even glared at Li Yong.
How could he hit the child’s confidence so hard?
Li Yong touched his nose and thought to himself, we haven’t even become a family yet, and they’re all against him?
When Ji Zi’ang heard Zhang Kun’s words, he nodded very hard, and his tone was equally firm, “Second Uncle, don’t underestimate me. I’ll definitely get the Certificate of Honor for this year’s final exam.”
Ji Yuanyuan also quickly said, “Second Brother, I believe you. You can exchange the Certificate of Honor for candy with me. I will give you all my candy for the second half of the year.”
Zhang Kun blinked his eyes and said, “Zi’ang, what do you like? When you get the Certificate of Honor, Uncle Zhang will give you a gift that you like.”
“Really?” Ji Zi’ang looked at Ji Yuanyuan in surprise and then looked at Zhang Kun, “Yuanyuan, Uncle Zhang, is what you said true?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and stretched out his hand, “Pinky swear!”
Ji Zi’ang stretched out his hand and hooked their pinkies. It was considered a seal for this matter.
After he finished with Ji Yuanyuan, Ji Zi’ang looked at Zhang Kun with bright eyes.
Zhang Kun reacted and quickly stretched out his hand to imitate Ji Yuanyuan and made a pinky swear with Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Zi’ang looked at Li Yong happily, “Second Uncle, if I get the Certificate of Honor, what will you give me?”
Li Yong stood there and smiled, “I’ll give you a hug.”
Ji Zi’ang rolled his eyes. “Tsk…”
Li Xu had already brought the rest of the dishes over, “Alright, alright. Everyone, come and eat.”
The dishes were sumptuous. There were six dishes and a soup.
Zhang Kun had just chatted with the children and felt more at ease.
As they ate, Ji Zixuan suddenly stood up and ran to the coffee table to bring two cups of tea over.
One cup was placed in front of Zhang Kun and the other in front of him.
He raised the teacup with both hands and said to Zhang Kun, “Uncle Zhang, let me toast you with tea instead of wine!”
Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment. He quickly put down his chopsticks and picked up the tea as well, facing Ji Zixuan.
“Uncle Zhang, it’s not easy for my mother,” Ji Zixuan said as he looked up at Zhang Kun, “You must be good to my mother in the future. You can’t make her sad or upset. If I find out that you’ve hurt her, I won’t let you off.”
As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
“But if you’re good to my mother, I’ll be good to you too. Zi’ang and I have grown up, so you don’t have to worry about us. We can even help you with your work. Yuanyuan is still young…”
Before Ji Zixuan could finish, Zhang Kun held his arm, he said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely treat your mother well in the future. Uncle Zhang doesn’t have any children, so he’ll treat you all as my own children in the future.”
