When Pei Chengbo brought his grandparents home, Pei Xiu and the others had finished eating the tomatoes, and the chef cut them a few slices of old cucumber with honey that Pei Ji had brought.

Grandpa Pei's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he has to use a cane to walk, but Grandma Pei walks like flying. When she entered the door and saw Pei Ji, she yelled at each good-looking grandson.

Faced with the enthusiasm of his grandparents, Pei Ji was obviously not good at dealing with such situations, and his face was sullen, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing that Pei Ji didn't know where to put his hands for a moment, Pei Xiu stood up, pointed at himself, and complained pretending to be injured:

"Grandpa and grandma, have you seen your eldest grandson?"

Grandpa Pei was happy, and the hand that didn't fall on Pei Ji's shoulder fell on Pei Xiu's back and patted twice, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth:

"My eldest grandson is so handsome, why can't he see him?"

Under the light, the dentures that Grandpa had just made a few years ago were dazzlingly white.

Grandma also laughed: "My grandson is getting more and more handsome the longer he grows."

Pei Xiu's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and his grandma's next sentence was indeed——

"The eldest grandson is so handsome, when will he bring back a granddaughter-in-law for grandma?"

Pei Xiu, who successfully rescued Pei Ji from the siege of his grandparents, caught up with him.

Giving up oneself as a younger brother is moving the heavens and the earth.

Pei Chengbo heard from Shu Pan that many dishes were brought back by Pei Ji from Angel's House today, and he hated himself for coming back too late:

"Four tomatoes, you didn't want to leave one for me?"

The old father felt very resentful for not eating the tomatoes his youngest son had grown himself.

Facing Pei Chengbo's accusing gaze, Pei Xiu and Shu Pan looked away at the same time, pretending not to see——

I can't even eat a tomato no bigger than a palm, so why remember to keep one?

Grandpa and grandma haven't seen Pei Ji for more than a month, and the topic always revolves around him after sitting down.

The grandparents cared about their grandchildren, and they kept repeating these few questions:

Why are you losing weight again? Eat more.

Tired of studying, is there anyone bullying you at school?

Is there enough money?Not enough to tell the family...

And there is—do you have a girlfriend?

What?No? In my 20s, I can talk about my partner.

When grandma asked this, before Pei Ji could answer, Shu Pan reminded her:

"Mom, Zhao Zhao is only 20 years old."

Grandma: "Twenty? Not young, in our time, 20 years old is the father of two children."

Pei Xiu glanced at Pei Ji's expression, and couldn't help but speak for him:

"Grandma, the times are different now, Zhaozhao is still studying and still young."

Grandma curled her lips after hearing this, and said to Pei Ji:

"Zhao Zhao, don't listen to your brother. Don't be like your brother. You don't talk about it when you go to college, and you don't have time to talk about it after work. You are already 30 years old. I don't even see the shadow of my granddaughter-in-law."

The disgusted Pei Xiu couldn't laugh or cry: "Grandma, I'm only 28."

Why is it thirty?

Grandpa Pei and Pei Chengbo were playing chess at the side. After hearing Pei Xiu's protest, he helped his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke for his wife:

"28, isn't it rounded up to thirty? Your grandma is right."

Pei Xiu: "..."

The shocked Pei Xiu looked at Pei Ji sympathetically, the meaning in his eyes——

Zhaozhao, I can't protect myself, so I can only help you here.

After receiving Pei Xiu's gaze, he looked at her enthusiastically, saying that the youngest daughter of the He family was only one year younger than him, and she acted as if she was going to find her grandma on a blind date for him in the next second, Pei Ji shook his head.

Seeing Pei Ji shaking his head, grandma was taken aback for a moment, then immediately changed her words and said with a smile:

"Our family Zhaozhao's conditions are so good, we don't have to worry about not having a partner, we can just take our time."

"After all, it's a lifetime thing, take your time, don't worry."

Pei Xiu on the side: "???"

Grandma, that's not what you said to me just now!

…………

The lunch chef made full use of the dishes that Pei Ji brought back in the morning:

Stewed beef brisket with potatoes, stir-fried white rolls, sliced ​​duck rolls with green onions, fried diced chicken made with two vitex...

Knowing that Pei Ji's painstaking efforts were involved, everyone at the dinner table was very supportive and full of praise.

If it wasn't for his appetite, Shu Pan could eat an extra bowl of rice.

Pei Ji had class in the afternoon, after dinner Peng Gaojun sent him to school, when he went out Pei Xiu followed him and said he wanted a ride.

Pei Xiu's company and Pei Ji's school are not on the same road, and Pei Xiu explained with a smile to his younger brother's eyes:

"I didn't drive back. It's okay. I'll take Zhaozhao to school first. I'm not in a hurry."

It doesn't matter if it's on the way or not, the important thing is being able to send Pei Ji to school.

Anyway, the company is our own, so it doesn't matter if you go early or late.

After hearing Pei Xiu's words, Pei Ji glanced in the direction of the garage, and got into the car without seeing through his clumsy lie.

But Peng Gaojun shook his head helplessly in his heart——

Young master, there are so many cars parked in the garage, you can't find a convincing excuse even if you make excuses.

Halfway through the car, Pei Xiu suddenly asked Peng Gaojun to stop, saying he was going to go shopping.

Pei Ji watched him approach a dessert shop.

Within a few minutes, Pei Xiu came out carrying two big paper bags.

As soon as Pei Xiu opened the door, he handed the paper bag to Pei Ji:

"You didn't eat much at noon, so you took it to school to eat in the afternoon when you were hungry."

The unique sweetness of the cake lingered in the car, Pei Ji moved his nose, glanced at the two bags, and said:

"I'm full."

Pei Ta also added food at noon.

Mango Melaleuca, Soy Milk Box, Liuxin Puffs, Pop Cake, Xuemei Niang...

Pei Xiu bought two full bags, which were heavy to carry, and Pei Ji couldn't finish it even if he didn't have lunch.

Pei Xiu: "If you can't eat, you can give some to your classmates."

Pei Ji rarely told them about school affairs, but Pei Xiu knew that Pei Ji had a good relationship with his former roommates.

For the socialization of his younger brother, Pei Xiu also took great pains.

After a few minutes, Pei Xiu asked again:

"Zhao Zhao, do you want milk tea?"

Young people nowadays seem to like to drink that.

Pei Ji shook his head holding the paper bag.

"It's okay, I don't know if the outside is hygienic or not."

Pei Xiu stopped thinking about spending money for his younger brother.

Pei Ji had two elective courses today - Appreciation of the Four Great Classics, only Lao Qi and him in the same dormitory took this course.

Seeing Pei Ji carrying two big paper bags into the classroom, Lao Qi was puzzled:

"What did you bring?"

Pei Ji handed a bag to Lao Qi: "You share."

Who does this 'you' refer to? Needless to say, Lao Qi was surprised: "Send it to us?"

Pei Ji: "Yes."

Old Qi opened it curiously, glanced at it, and then couldn't hold back the 'grass grip':

"Brother Pei, are you going to rob the dessert shop?"

The straight man Lao Qi looked at the logo on the bag, and finally realized belatedly——

Isn't this the dessert shop in the pedestrian street that is famous for its expensive price and invincible taste?

Having known each other for two years, Lao Qi didn't think that Pei Ji was stingy, but after thinking about it carefully, this was indeed the first time that Pei Ji made such a generous move.

This bag must cost at least a few hundred, right? !

Looking at Pei Ji's calm face, Lao Qi hesitated for a second and asked:

"Why did you suddenly buy so much food?"

Everyone has lived in the same dormitory, and their respective family conditions are generally clear. Old Qi Chengweiyi and the others all know that Pei Ji's family is not very good——

If you can eat in the cafeteria, you never go out to eat. As long as your clothes and pants are not torn, you can continue to wear them. If your trousers are damaged, you can cut them into cropped pants. You can use soap and detergent for laundry. …

Pei Ji, who was so frugal, suddenly bought so many expensive desserts that they were reluctant to buy, Lao Qi was worried that something happened to him and he was stimulated.

Seeing the faint worry in Lao Qi's eyes, Pei Ji opened the book: "...as a gift."

It was a bit noisy around, and Pei Ji's voice was not loud, Lao Qi only heard him say that someone else gave it to him, but he didn't hear clearly who it was.

Old Qi breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's a gift from someone else, that's fine."

Unable to resist the alluring aroma of desserts during class, Lao Qi opened a box of Liuxin Puffs like a thief, and while he was satisfied, he didn't forget to ask Pei Ji if he wanted to eat.

Pei Ji glanced sideways, and saw that there were white spots around Lao Qi's lips. He paused, then looked back silently.

Seeing clearly the disgust on Pei Ji's face, Lao Qi: "?"

Lao Qi was a little curious: "Brother Pei, did you dislike me just now?"

We've known each other for so long, if it wasn't for Pei Ji's occasional frown, and the corner of his mouth curled up when counting the money back for books, Lao Qi would have wondered if he had facial paralysis.

Everyday ice cube face.

Pei Ji stared ahead, concentrated on listening to the class, and ignored him.

Old Qi persevered: "That expression is definitely disgusting!"

Pei Ji lowered his head to take notes.

Lao Qi, who couldn't get an answer, went "tsk", and let him go for puff's sake.

After class, the monitor of the same elective class as Pei Ji stopped him and said he needed something.

It's not a big deal, but the school has a work-study questionnaire. If the students are willing, the school will recommend suitable part-time jobs to everyone.

Most of them are tutors, translators, librarians and other well-paid jobs.

There are also positions such as school canteens, outside restaurants, book bars, etc. that will be more difficult.

These job schools will conduct a preliminary screening to prevent students from being deceived, and the rest are very sought-after part-time jobs outside.

As soon as the school questionnaire came out, the first thing the counselor thought of was Pei Ji, so he asked the monitor to come over and ask him if he was interested in participating.

It can also be regarded as care for students from poor families and excellent academic performance.

Pei Ji runs to and fro the school's welfare home every day, and he doesn't have much free time. He is not suitable for a part-time job with fixed hours and too frequent.

However, after hearing his refusal, the squad leader said:

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

"The counselor asked me to tell you that there is a tutor that is especially suitable for you, so let me make it clear to you."

What the counselor recommended to Pei Ji was an English tutor. He only needed to have two classes on Sunday, one hour per class, and the salary was paid on a daily basis. The hourly salary was [-]. If the teaching results were outstanding, the price could be increased.

Pei Ji was attracted by the hourly salary, and stopped in his tracks: "The hourly salary is so high?"

Many college students are tutors, and the hourly wages are generally tens of dollars, and even hundreds of dollars are less.

And at this price, you can hire a professional teacher.

The squad leader nodded: "Yes."

However, good remuneration shows that the host family has high requirements, and ordinary students will definitely not like it.

The counselor recommended Pei Ji because he has excellent grades, good English, and is qualified for the job.

If Pei Ji didn't have that strength, no matter how difficult his family was, the counselor would not recommend him.

The hourly salary is two hundred and three, which is four hundred and sixty yuan a day, which is close to 500 yuan, so Pei Ji has no way to refuse.

After Pei Ji filled out the questionnaire, the squad leader said:

"Okay, I'll go tell the instructor, if everything goes well, the class should start this week."

Pei Ji looked at the monitor who was packing up and said 'thank you'.

Unexpectedly, the high-cold Xueba would say thank you to him, the monitor looked at him in surprise, and then smiled:

"It's okay, this is my job."

On the night after filling out the questionnaire, Pei Ji received a notice from the counselor, saying that the other party was very satisfied with his conditions, so he was hired to give a trial lecture this Sunday.

If the other party is satisfied with the test, then this high-paying part-time job will be Pei Ji's.

The counselor also gave Pei Ji a string of phone numbers and addresses, asking him to contact the other party directly when the time comes.

…………

In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday, and Pei Ji and the master's family made an appointment for a trial lecture.

Pei Ji showed Peng Gaojun the address sent by the instructor, and the other party thought about it after reading it:

"Jiangcheng Garden is not far away."

Jiangchengyuan is said to be a residential area, but it is more like a luxurious garden, with rockery and flowing water, artificial lakes and high-end clubs, all the facilities are available, and it is also a well-known wealthy area in Nanfeng City.

Peng Gaojun remembered that the young master of the Yan family seemed to live there.

But he took a look at Pei Ji, didn't mention it after all, and drove his car silently.

Judging from Valentine's Day, the young master and the eldest master of the Yan family should know each other, and they seem to have a good relationship.

Peng Gaojun felt that Pei Ji probably knew where Yan Heng lived, so he had no need to talk about it.

The owner's family should have greeted the property owner. Pei Ji entered the complex smoothly, and found the bungalow area according to the guidance of the security guard.

After finding the small white bungalow, Pei Ji raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

"Who?"

After pressing the doorbell twice, there was an answering sound from inside the house, but this sound...

Pei Ji slightly narrowed his eyes——

This voice... how is it so familiar?
