\u201cYou don\u2019t need to rush back to your hometown. Your brothers will probably all come to our house for a few days in a couple of days. Don\u2019t forget your sister is with us now. Whenever our brothers have a holiday, they go wherever your sister is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhan Xu said, \u201cBrother, what I mean is, can I have a relaxing summer vacation without homework? It\u2019s not entirely for my brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhan Chi laughed, \u201cBrother knows, that\u2019s why I told you to stay home. I\u2019m the only one here to supervise your studies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bei Bei spoke up, \u201cFifth Brother, don\u2019t scare Xiao Xu. With Xiao Xu\u2019s intelligence, he won\u2019t fall behind even if he works hard in junior high. Let him relax a bit since it\u2019s just summer vacation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t burden Xiao Xu with everything Uncle Jiu went through.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhan Xu immediately stepped forward and took Bei Bei\u2019s arm, smiling sweetly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew my sister was the best to me, unlike my brother, who\u2019s always nagging me to study, do homework, and take tests. I just started junior high.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I were a senior in high school now, my brother would definitely push me to the limit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beibei said, \u201cDon\u2019t put too much pressure on yourself. Believe in yourself. Studying is important, but mental and physical health is even more important. I hope you\u2019re always happy.\u201d \u201d<\/p>\n
Fifth brother, don\u2019t put too much pressure on Xiaoxu. All the siblings in our family are good at studying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom said the Zhan family has good genes, and all the children have excellent grades. Of course, they are also very hardworking.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, since your sister said so, you can have some fun this summer. But you must get back into the swing of things when summer ends and study hard after school starts.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBrother, I know. I haven\u2019t been slacking off, have I?\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhan Xu made a face at his brother.<\/p>\n
Zhan Chi nudged him and said to Bei Bei, \u201cBei Bei, you don\u2019t know, this kid is the laziest. As soon as we\u2019re not home, he\u2019s watching TV, playing with toys, or going out to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy grandma and the others cover for him, they don\u2019t let us know he\u2019s being lazy,\u201d<\/p>\n
Bei Bei laughed. \u201cEven though Xiao Xu is lazy, he\u2019s always been number one in the whole school, so you just turn a blind eye. When you were little, my sixth uncle and aunt weren\u2019t this strict, were they?\u201d
\n\u201cThey\u2019re stricter. I\u2019m the eldest son, so Mom and Dad have higher expectations of me. They\u2019re much more lenient with Zhanxu. At home, only I keep an eye on his studies; they don\u2019t care anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom and Dad only care about not letting Zhanxu play with too many electronic devices, saying it\u2019s bad for his eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhan Chi felt that he had faced more pressure back then.<\/p>\n
Like his younger brother, he wanted to go back to his hometown every winter and summer vacation to reunite with his brothers and play together. Back home, his grandparents would protect him, his great-grandmother would pamper him, and so many uncles and elders would speak up for him.<\/p>\n
His parents wouldn\u2019t care about him then, letting him play freely in the old house. But as soon as the vacation ended and he returned home, his parents\u2019 strict discipline would return.<\/p>\n
Well, he could understand his brother.<\/p>\n
\u201cSister, how long are you staying here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhanxu asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI still want to go back to my hometown. I miss my grandparents, and I miss my uncle and aunt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beibei laughed. \u201cWhat, are you afraid I\u2019ll stay at your house and not leave?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just graduated and want to have some fun for a while. I probably won\u2019t be back in Dongguan until August. I\u2019ll stay at your house for a few days and then go on a trip. Do you want to come with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I don\u2019t want to send you away. I wish you could move in with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSis, I\u2019ll go wherever you go. I\u2019ll go with you when you go back to Dongguan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhan Chi reminded Beibei, \u201cIf you take him with you, the other brothers will definitely want to come too. Can you take care of so many naughty kids by yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n
Because their fathers had many brothers, their generation had even more cousins, and many of them were about the same age. There were a lot of his younger cousins \u200b\u200bwho were not yet adults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
