Restaurants connect to everything? It's reasonable for me to make 1 billion, right?

Chapter 526 Everyone Goes Home
While discussing with Zhou Yanan which young celebrities were currently attractive, Song Luzhi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively shuddered.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yanan blinked in confusion.

Song Luzhi smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Auntie. It reminds me of our grade head. He always says the same thing during the flag-raising ceremony and assembly on Mondays. It's senior year now, so it's a bit stressful."

After the start of spring, Song Luzhi will be taking the college entrance examination.

However, her grades weren't outstanding, so she wasn't under too much pressure.

The main reason is that the grades are stable. If they could be improved, they would have been improved long ago, but since they can't be improved, they just accept their fate.

Fortunately, the parents are very understanding of their children's situation.

Song Luzhi thought that if her second aunt were her mother, she would jump off the building eight hundred times a day.

My aunt is saying this.

When the third aunt saw the second sister scolding the child, she helplessly pushed the youngest aunt: "Why did you have to provoke her for no reason? Now the child is suffering too."

The aunt was both angry and helpless: "My second sister is lucky to have met Xiaoxue. Try it with any other child. Putting aside everything else, take my Zhou Hexin. He would jump off the building eight times a day. Once he's really dead, he'll behave himself."

Third Aunt sighed helplessly: "Second Sister... she's had a tough time too."

Both members of their family are teachers, with stable jobs and incomes.

My younger sister's family runs a business. As long as her husband doesn't do anything reckless, they must be very wealthy.

Each of their families has the resources and confidence to provide for their children.

However, the second sister's family were just ordinary farmers. They knew they couldn't be a safety net for their child, so at this point, they could only keep pushing their child forward.

Even if the children might hate them, resent them, or be unable to bear it, they still keep wielding the whip in their hands.

They know some things in their hearts, but because they have suffered enough, they don't want their children to suffer again, so they can only go against their own conscience and keep urging their children to be more and more ambitious.

The aunt understood the implication in her third sister's words, but didn't say anything more.

Sheng Jiu was already sitting with Lin Duo, tending the fire.

The conflict between my aunts is still too frightening.

She decided not to get involved, although they wouldn't let the children get involved either.

Although there were some minor disagreements in the middle, it was the Lunar New Year, and Grandma Lin was there, so Auntie didn't make too much of a fuss. In the end, the family ate the meal peacefully and happily.

After dinner, Auntie started ordering groceries from Sheng Jiu for the New Year.

They live in the city, so it's quite convenient for them; they just have their housekeeper pick up the groceries every day.

If you find it inconvenient, you can pick it up every two days.

Anyway, Auntie goes out to shop every day.

My aunt's family is actually quite convenient, because both of their children are in school and both adults have jobs, so they bought a house in the city a long time ago.

Their family's circumstances were alright, but far from matching those of their aunt's family.

Therefore, purchasing every day is impossible, but purchasing weekly is acceptable.

In contrast, things are more complicated for my second aunt.

They live in a village, so traveling back and forth isn't very convenient.

Even weekly shopping is quite troublesome, and during the busy farming season, the couple simply can't find the time.

In the end, Sheng Siyu took on the task, saying that she would bring it back when she returned from her long shift.

Although my aunt initially said she wanted something that would be good for brain health, she ended up ordering beef and mutton instead.

The couple had a rather simple mindset; they felt that beef and lamb, which they couldn't usually afford, must be the best, so they bought those two first. As for rabbit meat and the like…

I don't eat niche meats.

After dinner, the family gathered together and played cards for a while.

However, Sheng Siyu had to leave soon.

Normally, she should have gone to work yesterday.

However, she used her invincible money magic to switch shifts with someone, but she still had to go to work tonight no matter what.

If she doesn't go back soon, her replacement colleague will probably be dried out by now!

Sheng Siyu quickly drove away. Watching the car disappear from everyone's sight, her second aunt thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Why don't you let Siyu change to a job where she can get normal rest? This job doesn't even give her a break during the New Year."

Auntie didn't think there was anything wrong with the job: "You're sheltered from the wind and rain, isn't that great? What job is perfect all the time? Besides, the job market is so tough these days, it's good enough to have a job at all."

That's true. After hearing that, my second aunt opened her mouth but didn't say anything more.

We decided not to have dinner at Grandma Lin's house.

However, since they all came and went so suddenly during the Lunar New Year, Grandma Lin will find it somewhat difficult to adjust.

My second aunt initially wanted to stay, but my younger aunt said that her family should stay instead, as my second aunt had so many things to do at home and should hurry back to work.

My second aunt had already started cultivating the vegetable seedlings needed for early spring planting before the Lunar New Year, taking advantage of the good temperatures. Now she needs to take care of them daily. At the same time, she has also incubated a lot of eggs, both chickens and ducks, which also need to be observed daily to prevent problems such as temperature from affecting the final hatching rate.

In short, my second aunt's family is really busy and can't be left alone.

My aunt insisted, so no one tried to persuade her any further.

Although we were reluctant to part, we were not far apart and could visit each other anytime we wanted.

On the way back, Auntie rode in Sheng Jiu's car.

She didn't want to disturb Sheng Jiu's driving, but she couldn't control her mouth: "Your second aunt is probably going crazy now. She keeps an eye on the child's studies every day. Xiaoxue is such a good child. She's quick-witted, has a sweet tongue, knows how to handle things, has no problems with interpersonal relationships, and is of good character. Her studies are actually quite good. Even if she doesn't get into a good university, she can still get into an average one. Getting a bachelor's degree is definitely not a problem. And yet she still keeps an eye on her every day. Like your aunt said, it's only because she has Xiaoxue. If it were any other child, she would have gone crazy long ago."

Especially with two academically gifted older brothers weighing on her, Sheng Jiu felt like she couldn't breathe if she put herself in their shoes.

If you only have two older brothers who are academic high achievers, and your parents don't make any demands, then life is relatively peaceful.

However, if your parents expect you to do as well as your two older brothers...

Sheng Jiu's breathing tightened just thinking about it!

This is extremely terrible news for students who are struggling academically!

The eldest aunt was not good at advising him, because she knew that even if she tried, the second son wouldn't listen.

What's the use of persuasion?

In the end, it will also upset the second child, who will inevitably nag about Xiaoxue when they get home.

Sheng Jiu didn't know what to say. After thinking for a moment, she sighed softly, "They probably feel that their parents have no way out, so they want Xiaoxue to walk her own path."

This is true.

For ordinary families like theirs, there really is no way out.

However, you can't just push a child to the brink of death!

Auntie wanted to say something, but felt it would be futile to say anything. In the end, she sighed, leaned back in the back seat, and closed her eyes wearily.
