Chapter 64 My Sister Will Take Action
My aunt is a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Her anxiety about her children's future is a perfectly normal mother's feeling. Her daughter has already entered a junior college, and her son's grades are making her extremely worried; it's no wonder she's anxious.
Shen Ci understood her aunt very well. However, her cousin's life had actually been quite smooth last time. After graduating from the flight attendant major, she successfully entered an airline as a flight attendant. Although it was hard work, it was still a respectable job, as her aunt said.
She later met her future husband, an ordinary employee of a multinational corporation, on the plane.
After the couple got married, the man's career took off, rising from an ordinary employee to a regional director. His cousin even gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and lived a very comfortable life in her husband's family.
My aunt and uncle also benefited from my cousin's good fortune, and their lives improved as a result.
My cousin, unsurprisingly, failed miserably in the college entrance exam. No one advised him to retake it, because everyone knew he was simply not cut out for studying.
Later, I went to a vocational school and chose animation production as my major. After graduation, I joined an outsourcing production company. I was so busy that I stayed up all night every day. The once tall and handsome young man went bald before he was even thirty! And he developed a beer belly!
He had several girlfriends, but none of them lasted long, because he simply didn't have the extra energy to devote to his partner.
Later, his aunt became so anxious that she started arranging blind dates for him. In the end, he just randomly picked a girl and got married. Less than two years later, they divorced because of incompatibility, leaving him with a son who was a little over one year old.
Looking at her tall, beautiful, and energetic cousin and her tall, handsome cousin in front of her, Shen Ci couldn't help but feel a little wistful.
They grew up together and were very close. On one hand, Shen Ci hoped that his cousin could find a good husband and live a happy life like before, but on the other hand, he did not want his cousin to repeat the same mistake and be crushed by life.
"Auntie, don't worry about these things. Even if Sui Sui and Guang Rong don't go to university, they will still make something of themselves in the future," Shen Ci comforted her aunt.
Shen Jingjing nodded in agreement: "Aci is right. Suisui and Guangrong are both good kids and will do well in the future."
When her child was praised, Shen Yingying felt somewhat relieved, but she couldn't help but say, "Sister, you and Aci don't need to comfort me. I've figured it out now. I don't expect them to be very successful. I just hope they can have a stable job after graduating from junior college and support themselves."
He Bin nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's hard to find a job these days. Many college graduates can't find work."
He Sui and He Guangrong ate in silence, never uttering a sound. They always listened quietly during this part of the meal, and they were already used to it.
Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, the two of them have always been the contrasting group in the family. Whenever the topic of children comes up, it is always others who are praised, and it is always the two of them who are scolded.
Fortunately, Shen Ci was thoughtful and would always comfort her younger cousins afterward, which prevented any estrangement from developing between them and instead made their relationship even closer.
Shen Ci put down her chopsticks and suddenly looked at her aunt with a serious expression, saying, "Auntie, whether it's Sui Sui or Guang Rong, I will not abandon them if they encounter difficulties in the future."
“They are still young and may not have any plans for the future and may feel lost. If they have a goal one day, I, as their older sister, will definitely help them.”
Originally, she was just grumbling and complaining a bit, but Shen Yingying didn't expect her niece to say such things to her, and she was stunned.
Realizing what she meant, she quickly said, "Aci, that's not what I meant. You're still a college student yourself, how could I let you worry about your younger siblings..."
Seeing her aunt's flustered reaction, Shen Ci smiled and said, "I know you, Aunt, but I'm serious."
Shen Yingying's mouth was half open, and she was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. She only felt a lump in her throat.
She was a sentimental person by nature. Regardless of whether Aci's words would come true in the future, she was moved when she heard them and felt that she had not spoiled this niece in vain.
Seeing this, Shen Jingjing gently patted her younger sister's hand and said softly, "Children are all close, it's only natural for them to help each other out."
Shen Yingying wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded gently.
After dinner, Shen Ci took out all the gifts she had bought for them.
"Uncle, this is for you."
"And what about mine? Thanks, Aci." He Bin reached out and took it, only to find it was a new phone!
Shen Ci figured that given her aunt's husband's personality, he would probably use the same phone for several years and be reluctant to replace it, so a new phone would be the most practical.
The younger siblings naturally received more gifts.
I bought Glory sneakers, a tablet, a PSP, and other items that boys like.
For Sui Sui, he bought her a bag, perfume, and a whole set of new digital equipment.
"Thank you, sister! Oh my god, these must cost several dollars!" Sui Sui said, feeling touched but also worried about the cost for her sister.
Shen Ci smiled and said, "Don't worry about how much it costs. Just tell me if you need anything in the future."
Sui Sui nodded vigorously, clutching her first authentic Chanel bag.
Glory leaned in and whispered, "Sister, I want to study abroad."
"What?"
He Sui exclaimed in surprise, then couldn't help but laugh: "With grades like yours, even a diploma mill abroad wouldn't accept you."
“But my English is good!” Glory widened his eyes and said proudly, “Maybe my English is even better than my sister’s.”
"Give me a break." Sui Sui rolled her eyes and turned to Shen Ci, saying, "Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. He's been watching too many American dramas and is hallucinating."
Because my aunt's husband is from the north, my cousins and even my aunt usually speak with a northern accent, which sounds particularly interesting.
“You don’t understand anything, I’m not going to talk to you.” Glory also looked at Shen Ci and grinned: “Sis, aren’t there a lot of people going abroad to get a degree these days? They can come back and say they are overseas returnees or returnees.”
Shen Ci laughed upon hearing this: "You should spend less time on Douyin. With grades like yours, you want to study abroad? Where? Africa might be a possibility."
"Pfft..." He Sui couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.
His older sister's criticism might not have any effect on him, but Shen Ci's criticism made him instantly deflated.
Seeing this, Shen Ci said, "I'm giving you some serious advice. With your talent for learning, don't even think about using a diploma to realize your self-worth. It's useless!"
No matter how rich I am, I can't change the fact that my cousin has absolutely no talent for studying.
Many universities abroad allow you to buy a degree, but what's the point?
A diploma from a third-rate foreign university is just an empty shell, full of rottenness; it's nothing more than a waste of one's life and time.
"Find your direction in life, think about what you want to do, and then come and tell me. I will take care of it."
