Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 1 The fifth son of the Kang family returns after graduation

"Look what I bought."

As soon as Kang Ershou entered the house, he ran to the kitchen and handed his wife Wang Yulian a black bag. Wang Yulian opened the bag and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, what beautiful shrimps!"

But then he felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Shrimp is so expensive now, are you willing to buy it?"

"Tomorrow is my birthday, and my sons are going to treat us to dinner at a restaurant. So I have to add some extra dishes for everyone today, right?" Kang Ershou said with a smile on his face.

Kang Ershou should be smiling, he is 65 years old, retired, nicknamed "Kang the God of Wealth". He has five sons, all of whom are very filial.

The eldest son, Kang Qi Guang, once went to the countryside to work. He is honest and kind, and is hardworking. He started working early and helped his parents support his younger brothers' education. The only thing that his parents are dissatisfied with is that he is 40 years old and still has no girlfriend.

The second son, Kang Qizon, also went out to work after graduating from junior high school to support his younger brothers' studies. Because he is eloquent and smart, he now runs a hardware store and is the boss. He got married a few years ago and his son is already 8 years old.

The third son, Kang Qiyao, was admitted to a district bureau after graduating from junior college. He is now a deputy section chief and manages three people. At the age of 3, he can be considered a young and promising man with no power or influence in his family.

The fourth son, Kang Qizu, graduated from an ordinary university and now works in a Hong Kong-funded enterprise. He is a famous playboy in Xiguan and his girlfriend usually does not last more than three months.

The fifth son is Kang Qirui. After giving birth to four sons, Wang Yulian especially wanted a daughter, so she finally succeeded in getting pregnant again twenty-two years ago. Unfortunately, it was not as she wished, and the baby was still a son.

Kang Ershou read the book for a long time before deciding on the character "Rui". Firstly, the first four sons were honorable to the ancestors, "Si" was "Rui", "Rui" was "Sheng", which was Kang Ershou's wish that his fifth son would surpass the first four sons. Secondly, the character "Rui" was relatively rare and difficult to pronounce, which made Kang Ershou look cultured.

After Kang Qirui was born, he gradually realized that he had traveled to the popular Guangzhou TV series "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Son-in-law" and became a character that had never appeared in the series.

Kang Qirui, who traveled through time, did not awaken any system or have any golden fingers. The only thing left for him was the memory of his previous life. After a few years of inaction and observation in his childhood, he found that history was exactly the same as his previous life, without the slightest difference. Kang Qirui knew that it was very simple for him to live an easy life in this life.

Let alone other things, in his previous life, he was a senior football fan, and he could have become rich by buying a few lottery tickets during the World Cup, especially in the 02 World Cup, when there were so many shady deals and upsets. So getting rich was not a difficult thing for Kang Qirui.

So during the years of elementary school and junior high school, Kang Qirui was always confused. How should he live in this world after traveling through time? When survival is no longer a problem, how to live is a big problem, especially for a traveler. Did he come to this world just to make a fortune?

When Kang Qirui was in high school, his second brother Kang Qizong rang the bell before entering the canteen, and his second sister-in-law Su Miaochan came from Shantou to Guangzhou to "deliver goods" and eventually got married and had children. When his nephew Kang Tianxiu was born, when the whole family pretended to be this and that to coax Kang Tianxiu to take a bath, Kang Qirui suddenly thought of his life goal:
That is to protect all these beautiful things!
There were too many tragedies in the Kang family in the previous life. The second brother Kang Qizong suffered from a terminal illness and went to Paradise Island to avoid upsetting his family. He eventually died in a foreign land. Many years later, his mother and uncle brought his ashes back to the countryside to return to their roots. The third brother Kang Qiyao had two mediocre marriages. Sachiko went to Japan, and Huang Fei had a bad temper and had no children for many years. The fourth brother Kang Qizu was framed by Niu and Miss Tang in the workplace and took over a nearly bankrupt company. His marriage to Diana also ended in divorce.

Compared with the tragedy and the warm scene at the moment, Kang Qirui secretly vowed to work hard to change it all. From then on, Kang Qirui began to study hard. With good grades and a master's degree from his previous life, he was easily admitted to the best Shuangyashan University in Guangzhou. Then he went to Gangcheng University as an exchange student. The reason why he wanted to go to Gangcheng University was that his identity as a graduate of Gangcheng University would bring him a lot of convenience.

And today is the day he graduates and returns to Guangzhou.

"Dad! Mom! Open the door quickly."

The two elders who were talking in the kitchen suddenly heard a shout from outside. They recognized each other and ran to the door immediately after realizing what was going on. When they opened the door, they saw their youngest son whom they had not seen for half a year. As the saying goes: the youngest son is the sweetest child of all. The two elders were so happy to see their youngest son coming back that their teeth were not visible.

Kang Ershou hurried to get Yaozi's luggage, while Wang Yulian greeted Yaozi as he entered the house and asked, "Xiaorui, why are you back? Have you graduated? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that you guys could pick you up?"

"Uncle, please let Xiaorui sit down and have a glass of water first. He starts asking questions as soon as he comes back." Kang Ershou was worried that Xiaozi must be tired after coming back from such a long distance, so he quickly stopped his wife who was still nagging.

"Dad! Mom! I've passed my graduation defense, and everything is fine now. The graduation ceremony won't be held until next month, and tomorrow is Dad's birthday, so I quickly packed up and rushed back."

Kang Ershou was even happier when he heard what Yaozi said, and said, "In that case, Xiaorui, you have graduated now, so what are your plans for the future? Stay in Hong Kong or come back to Guangzhou?"

Seeing his mother waiting for his answer with concern, Kang Qirui quickly said, "Don't stay in Hong Kong, come back to Yangcheng, there's nothing better than home outside."

Wang Yulian was also very happy after hearing this. She was worried when Kang Qirui was going to Gangcheng to study, for she was afraid that Kang Qirui would stay in Gangcheng after graduation and not come back to Yangcheng.

"Dad, I want to take a break for a while and then slowly look for a job." Kang Qirui thought for a while and then spoke again. He wanted to take precautions so that his father wouldn't urge him to find a job every day. He didn't want to work for others.

Kang Ershou was about to say something when Wang Yulian interrupted him. She rolled her eyes at Kang Ershou and said, "Uncle, Xiao Rui just came back. He is so tired from studying. Let him take a rest first. We can talk about work later. Are you worried that Xiao Rui won't be able to find a good job with his education?"

Kang Ershou thought about it and realized that it was true. His son Shuangyishan had a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from Gangcheng University. It would be easy for him to find a job. He looked at the time and asked his wife Wang Yulian, "It's almost 12 o'clock. Why haven't the children come back yet?" He turned to Kang Qirui and said, "Xiaorui is hungry, right? Let's eat first. Those who have made contributions will have their meals left, and those who have not made any contributions will not have their meals left. There is no need to wait for them."

Seeing that his mother Wang Yulian really got up to start eating, Kang Qirui quickly said, "Let's wait. They should be here soon. I haven't seen my brother and his family for a long time. It would be better for us to have a meal and chat together."

"Uncle, call them and ask them to come back." Kang Ershou was really worried that his son was hungry. Seeing that his son insisted, he urged his wife to urge his sons to go home for dinner.
