Chapter 586: Chapter 586 Shu Wen (2)_1

"Why are you not talking, don’t you like the New Year’s gift Uncle gave you?" Seeing Ruan Jie staring at the gift he’d given him for quite some time without a word, Shu Lang asked with confusion.

"I do," Ruan Jie said.

Then he turned to look at Ruan Chi who was engrossed in watching commercials, "Chizi, come over, I have something good to share with you."

Ruan Chi hadn’t noticed their conversation and, hearing the call, happily walked over, truly believing Ruan Jie was going to share something good with him.

Then he saw Ruan Jie take half of the pile of textbooks and said to Shu Lang, "Uncle, Chizi and I are in the same grade; he could use these too. Could I give half to him?"

"Sure, they’re all yours. You can share them with whoever you want," Shu Lang said generously.

"..." Ruan Chi, looking at the textbooks and test papers now in his arms, fell silent.

He was already slapping himself silly in his mind!

Why was he greedy for a bargain! Couldn’t he just watch TV nicely? Couldn’t he? What was he doing rushing over for!

When he looked up, his eyes were filled with smiles, "Thank you, Uncle."

"You’re welcome," Shu Lang said with a smile as he saw several of the kids watching TV all glance over. He was just about to say if you guys want them, I’ll bring some for you next time when he saw all the kids sharply turn their heads back, watching the TV commercials very intently.

Their synchronized movement was so orderly that even Shu Laoyezi was startled for a moment before his eyes slowly narrowed, hmm— they’re all promising youngsters.

"..." The kids, with their backs to them, were like immovable mountains, as if they were unaware of the intense gaze behind them.

Ruan Jiaojiao had been laughing on the side and, seeing Shu Lang look her way, immediately said sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle. I really like all these gifts!" She emphasized the word ’all’ to imply that, dear Uncle, there’s no need for you to buy me these test papers.

"Glad you like them," Shu Lang said smilingly as he picked her up.

In reality, Ruan Jiaojiao was worrying over nothing. Shu Lang had never thought to buy her textbooks and test papers because in his heart, Ruan Jiaojiao was the family’s little princess, destined to be spoiled for life. There was absolutely no need for her to study so hard—she could study if she liked, or not if she didn’t.

But the boys were a different story, especially Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie, who had to stand up and be strong. Only then, a hundred years later, would there be someone to continue to protect Ruan Jiaojiao.

So, even though he knew the boys didn’t like doing homework, he was determined to buy a lot for them, with Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie being the primary focus. As for the other boys, he was less insistent.

Ruan Jie had no idea that this was just the beginning of his "miserable" life. Picking up that pile of textbooks, he was still scheming in his head—this one for Lu Xian, that one also for Lu Xian. After all, their families were especially close, weren’t they?

Such a good relationship naturally meant sharing the good things.

"..." Lu Xian, who was watching TV at home, huddled by the fire, shivered suddenly.

Next to him, Zhao Li glanced at him with disdain, "Such a big lad, and you spend your days cooped up at home watching TV? Warming yourself by the fire? You’re even worse than your dad, completely useless!"

"..." Lu Zhiwei, caught in the crossfire, didn’t dare make a sound and continued to silently watch TV, nibbling on sunflower seeds.

After speaking, Zhao Li paused and then muttered to herself, "I bought a soup thermos last time at the supply and marketing cooperative, and it’s been several days since I’ve seen my precious daughter. I wonder if she has gotten cold. I should find some time to send it over; she surely can’t be allowed to freeze."
