Material Empire

"Xiaodong, my sister gave me a bonus of 500 yuan at the end of the year. Tell me what you want to buy, and I will buy it for you."

In Wang Xiaochen's room in the single dormitory building, Wang Xiaodong was gnawing on the steamed pork ribs again, while his sister Wang Xiaochen was sitting opposite him, guarding a bowl of green vegetables, and looked at him with a smile. Be happy.

"Sister, you can eat too." Wang Xiaodong put a spare rib into Wang Xiaochen's bowl and motioned.

"Well, good." Wang Xiaochen felt warm in his heart. His younger brother used to eat alone, so he would never think of giving her this elder sister's food. Some time ago, my younger brother asked Qin Hai to send a letter, saying that he would study hard at school and asked Wang Xiaochen not to disturb him, and then disappeared for more than two months. When he reappeared, he seemed to have grown taller and stronger. The most obvious change was that he actually knew how to care for his sister.

"Xiaodong, why didn't you come to see my sister a while ago? Is it because she didn't give you the electronic watch, and you are angry with her?" Wang Xiaochen asked.

Wang Xiaodong put down his chopsticks, was shy for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Sister, let me tell you something, don't blame Brother Qin Hai, okay?"

"What's the matter?" Wang Xiaochen was a little surprised, not knowing why Qin Hai was involved.

"Last time I robbed your watch, and later... Brother Qin Hai took Ning Mo and Master Qiao and beat me up." Wang Xiaodong said.

"How could Qin Hai do this! Why did he hit you?" Wang Xiaochen's eyes lit up, wishing he could immediately open the door and rush to the opposite side to find Qin Hai's argument. Wang Xiaodong is the baby bump in her family. Even his parents are reluctant to touch him. Qin Hai actually took two people to beat Wang Xiaodong. Is there any law? Wang Xiaochen also knew the Master Qiao mentioned by Wang Xiaodong, and knew that he was an old steelworker with great strength.

Wang Xiaodong said: "Sister, I told you, don't blame Brother Qin Hai. He beat me up, and I realized that I was too ignorant in the past. You treated me so well, and I didn't know how to respect you at all. Still snatching your things, I'm really worse than a beast."

"Don't say that, you can think like this, sister... sister is very happy." Wang Xiaochen said, his eyes were a little red. How could she not know how stubborn her younger brother was, she just hoped that his younger brother would grow up and become sensible. Unexpectedly, Qin Hai educated her younger brother for her, and his younger brother really became sensible.

"Later, Brother Qin Hai imprisoned me in the steel factory and forced me to write to you, saying that I was studying at school and would not let you disturb me." Wang Xiaodong began to tell all the experiences during this period one after another. .

"It turned out to be like this. I said why you didn't let my sister visit you all of a sudden. What are you doing in the steel factory? Will your studies not be delayed?" Wang Xiaochen said worriedly.

Wang Xiaodong said: "There is no delay. Brother Qin Hai forces me to study every day, and I have two hours a day to work in the workshop. You see, my health is much better now than before. This time, I passed the first exam in the class. 15."

"You really got 15?" Wang Xiaochen couldn't believe it. More than two months ago, Wang Xiaodong was still at the bottom of the class. Although he didn't tell Wang Xiaochen explicitly, Wang Xiaochen is not stupid. How could he not know about his younger brother's grades? Two months later, just because Qin Hai locked Wang Xiaodong up and forced him to work hard, Wang Xiaodong's grades suddenly jumped to the top 15 in the class. This is great news for Wang Xiaochen.

"Thank you Qin Hai, I will cook something delicious to thank him some other day. Come on, Xiaodong, don't you like this electronic watch of my sister, I will give it to you, so that you can use it to master your time during the exam. "Wang Xiaochen happily opened the drawer, took out the electronic watch that caused Wang Xiaodong to be beaten up, and handed it to his younger brother.

Wang Xiaodong waved his hands again and again and said, "Sister, I don't want it. This is your favorite thing. I am a big man, how can I take your favorite thing? Look, I bought a cheap electronic watch myself, and I used it. My own money."

"Nonsense, where did you earn the money from?" Wang Xiaochen scolded.

Wang Xiaodong said with a smile: "Brother Qin Hai locked me in the steel factory, told me to study every day, and had to go to the workshop to do two hours of work, saying that it was labor reform. When he sent me to take the final exam, Brother Qin Hai gave me He gave me 200 yuan and said it was my salary. Sister, this is my remaining money, a total of 160 yuan, and I will give it to you."

Wang Xiaochen took the money with a smile on his face, but tears were streaming down his face, and he murmured, "Xiao Qin has helped us so much, how can we repay the love..."

Wang Xiaochen and his brother were grateful to Qin Hai, but at Ning Zhongying's house in the family area, Ning Jing pouted and looked unhappy at Ning Mo and Qin Hai in front of him.

"You see, as soon as I got home, she looked like this. She kept muttering your name, and she didn't say anything when I asked her. No, I invited you here." Ning Mo pointed at his sister , said to Qin Hai depressedly.

Qin Hai thought about it, but he couldn't figure out how to provoke him, so he calmed down. This semester, Qin Shan transferred to Pingyuan No. 1 Middle School, where she sat at the same table with Tranquility, and the two girls were as close as glue. Sometimes Qin Hai drove to pick up his sister from school, and he would definitely take her home with Tranquility. When Qin Hai buys something to eat and use for Qin Shan, he often prepares some for Tranquility. In front of Qin Hai, Tranquility has always had a naive and slightly savage image, and Qin Hai doesn't know where he offended Tranquility.

"Xiao Jing, what happened, did the fat man bully you?" Qin Hai asked cautiously.

"He didn't bully me, I thought he was incompetent!" Tranquility said, staring at Ning Mo viciously.

"Yes, yes, I have no skills. Don't our family's hopes rest on you?" Ning Mo also said to Tranquility cautiously. He is really a little used to his sister.

Tranquility said: "The elder brother will tutor the younger sister in studies. When did you, the elder brother, tutor me? If I don't get into the university, I will blame you!"

"My brother..." Ning Mo turned his eyes to Qin Hai suspiciously, he seemed to understand where the problem was.

Qin Hai couldn't help but burst out laughing, the cake seller, it turned out that Tranquility was jealous of Qin Shan. Yesterday, Qin Shan returned home from school and showed her final exam report card to her brother happily. This little girl who transferred from the countryside to the county ranked fifth in the class in the first major exam. Tranquility was squeezed from fifth place to sixth place. When Qin Hai first heard the news, Qin Hai only cared about being happy for his younger sister. He didn't expect that there would be some who were happy and others who would be unhappy. Tranquility, who was compared by Qin Shan, was naturally that depressed family.

It's really immoral for girls to be jealous. Seeing Ning Jing and Qin Shan usually look like one person, but when something happens, they still can't help but compare each other. Tranquility is not angry that Qin Shan did better than her in the exam, after all, she was only fifth in the past, and she is not the kind of person who can't see others with better grades than herself. The reason she was angry was that Qin Shan told her that her good exams were mainly due to her brother Qin Hai who often tutored her. This time there was a difficult math problem in the final exam, and other students including Tranquility failed to solve it. But Qin Shan did it because Qin Hai once explained a similar example problem to her.

Hearing this, Tranquility pursed her lips and didn't take it back until she got home.

"Xiaojing, that's what you're talking about. Xiaoshan's background is poor, and she transferred from the countryside. I was worried that her grades could not keep up, so I usually tutored her more. She did better than you this time. I was also surprised." Qin Hai quickly explained.

Ning Mo was also beating the side drum: "Xiao Jing, it's wrong for you to be angry about this matter. Qin Shan is Qin Hai's younger sister. It's normal for Qin Hai to tutor her a little bit."

"Then I'm not his sister!" Ning Jing shouted with a tiger's face. "When he came to our house in the past and asked me to help him pour water and cut watermelons, didn't he call out one by one? When it was beneficial, he would You don't recognize me as my sister? Alright, Qin Hai, since you said I'm not your sister, then you should leave now and don't come to my house."

As she said that, Tranquility began to push Qin Hai outward. With her small body, she couldn't push Qin Hai. What's more, what she did was only a symbolic move, and she didn't really put any effort into it.

"Don't, don't, I was wrong, I was wrong." Qin Hai really has nothing to do with this little girl, maybe because he is used to fighting with Ning Mo, Tranquility never treats him as an outsider, even this kind of The tenets of giving and receiving are disregarded. While begging for forgiveness, he said: "Xiao Jing, how about this, from now on you go to the steel factory twice a week, and when I give Qin Shan a lecture, I will also give you a lecture, okay?"

"It's a deal?" The feigned anger on Tranquility's face disappeared instantly, and she giggled and stretched out a little finger to Qin Hai, making a gesture of pulling the hook.

Ning Mo turned his head away speechlessly. It's such an unfortunate family to have such a shameless younger sister...

Qin Hai bit the bullet and stretched out a little finger, hooked up with Ning Jing's smooth, soft, boneless finger.

"Qin Shan and I will take the first or second place in the class next semester, or we will jointly criticize you, saying that you are ignorant and misleading students!" Tranquility let go of her fingers, ran out with a smile.

"Why are you going?" Ning Mo asked angrily.

"I'll go to the steel factory to play with Qin Shan!" Tranquility left a string of laughter like silver bells, and ran away in a blink of an eye.

"Uh..." Qin Hai really felt a little messy.

"My sister is like this, don't mind." Ning Mo said to Qin Hai apologetically. Their current relationship is still close friends, but Ning Mo feels more and more that Qin Hai is a person worthy of respect. In Ning Mo's view, it is extremely inappropriate to rely on Qin Hai's tutoring.

Qin Hai was a little inexplicably embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, Xiao Jing has a very good personality...I like it."
