Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 74 Tianxiu's Children's Day

"Son, why didn't you tell me about this important matter earlier?"

That day, the Kang family was still watching "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" together after dinner when they heard the second sister-in-law, who was tutoring Tianxiu in his homework, say in surprise, "What's the matter?" the second brother asked loudly.

The second sister-in-law took Tianxiu out and said, "Son, tell grandpa and grandma." Tianxiu didn't say anything, and everyone encouraged him. "You are embarrassed to say it, let me tell you, Xiuzi did very well in the physical education test today. The teacher praised him for jumping 30 centimeters in the high jump." The second sister-in-law said with a beaming face.

But everyone laughed when they heard what the second sister-in-law said. The second brother said speechlessly: "Shut up, woman, you are still bragging here, do you know that the physical education teacher is scolding your son?"

"Why do you talk like that, A Zong? When a child makes progress, he should be encouraged and praised." The old man feels sorry for his eldest grandson.

The old woman, who was knitting a sweater, agreed, "That's right, Tianxiu should be encouraged. The day after tomorrow is Children's Day, and we should celebrate it well for you."

Lao Dou pulled Tian Xiu over and said, "Grandpa will take you to the tallest teahouse in Guangzhou to have some tea, okay?"

Tianxiu broke away from his father, sat down next to the second brother, and said, "It's not like I haven't drunk before."

"How about this, dad takes you out for a big meal?" The second brother said to Tianxiu.

Tianxiu still disagreed and shook his head, "It's not like I haven't eaten it before."

"How about this, grandma takes you to the zoo to see monkeys?" the old lady suggested. "No, the monkeys there will call my name." Tian Xiu still refused, "Hahaha." Everyone was amused by Xiu's words.

"Tianxiu, let your uncle take you to buy beautiful clothes." Xianglan also loves Tianxiu very much.

Tianxiu was also dissatisfied: "No, I have to wear school uniform every day, so I don't have the chance to wear other clothes." His reason was irrefutable and every word made sense.

"Uncle Yao will take you to Hong Kong City, okay?" Kang Qirui was also willing to take Tianxiu to play. Tianxiu was obviously tempted, as he had never been to Hong Kong City, but the second sister-in-law denied it: "No, Xiuzi doesn't have a pass, and it's too late to apply for a tourist visa." Tianxiu was obviously unhappy after hearing this.

"Tianxiu, then tell me yourself, what do you want most for this holiday?" Yumei suggested that Tianxiu take the initiative to say what gift he wants.

Tianxiu thought about it and said, "I want to be the squad leader."

"I don't know, Tianxiu? How can you be the class monitor with your academic performance?" Kang Qirui smiled. His nephew was very smart, but he just didn't study hard and his grades were average, so it was impossible for him to be the class monitor.

"Is that so? Then give me the money, one hundred yuan each." Tianxiu changed his mind.

Kang Qirui smiled awkwardly and said, "Then you will become rich, won't you?" The Kang family has so many people, so it would be more than a thousand yuan. For the Cantonese people who usually give out five or ten yuan in red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, this Children's Day red envelope is outrageous.

"Then I'm going to sleep with them." Tianxiu said angrily, "I've never stayed at someone else's house overnight." The second sister-in-law rejected him directly. Tianxiu lost his temper, "You asked me to express my wishes again, but you said this and that."

"Then you have no reason to sleep at someone else's house, so find someone else." The second brother coaxed his son.

Tian Xiu suddenly had an idea and said, "I got it. I want to dance the lion head."

"Oh, lion's head, right? Aunt Yumei will make it for you tomorrow." Yumei thought it was their Shencheng dish, braised lion's head.

The big boss just smiled and said, "It's not the lion head you have in Shencheng, it's the lion head that is danced in celebration activities." He pointed at Tianxiu and said, "He used to dance the Ximi in school." It's just that his Mandarin is not very standard.

"Oh, what's the sago fertilizer?" Xianglan said disdainfully to Big Brother Guang, and said to Yumi, "Yumi, it's Shiwei."

Tianxiu got angry when he saw that no one agreed to his request. “Have you finished talking? Are you going to give me the lion dance head? The lion dance head is very majestic and you can take pictures. The lion dance tail is very tiring, walking around with a piece of cloth.”

"In fact, dancing the lion head is also very tiring. You will sweat a lot when holding the lion head." The second sister-in-law still disagreed. But the second brother agreed this time: "Oh, if my son likes to dance the lion head, let him dance the lion head." Because he is the president of the Xiguan Lion Dance Association, he naturally hopes that his son can dance the lion head.

After the final discussion, it was decided that the second sister-in-law would take the foreign wine that the old man had collected for many years to Tianxiu's teacher tomorrow and ask him to agree to replace Tianxiu's wine with a lion dance head. When the second sister-in-law heard that it was the old man's foreign wine, she immediately ran to the old man's room, obviously having been eyeing that bottle of wine for a long time.

On May 5, Kang Qirui did not go home for dinner. It was his teacher Huang's birthday, so he took Zhu Wanling to Huang's birthday party. It was already past eight when they got home. As soon as they got home, they saw the eldest brother Guang Xianglan, the second brother, the second sister-in-law, and the old woman holding a small meeting. The second brother was taking notes with a pen and paper. "What are they doing?" Kang Qirui asked curiously.

"The teacher refused to change your nephew's head into a lion dance head, so we signed him up for a little explorer activity." The second brother turned around and looked at Kang Qirui and said.

Zhu Wanling asked doubtfully, "Exploring? What adventures?"

"It's to train the kids, to let them survive on their own for two days. Mom and Dad can't go with them. We're just discussing what to bring." The second brother explained, and then asked, "What did you say just now, Big Brother?"

"Oh, I just said that there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the deep mountains and wilds. Remember to bring snake medicine." The big man repeated what he had just said.

"Yes, the medicine must be taken." Kang Qirui agreed with what Lao Guang said, and said to Zhu Wanling: "Wanling, go and pack some necessary medicines for going out and give them to Tianxiu." Things like medicine should of course be packed by the nurses. Zhu Wanling agreed and walked in.

Kang Qirui took the paper in front of the second brother and was shocked when he saw the content on it. He said, "No way? Are we going to summer camp or going on an adventure?"

"What do you know, you poor boy? These are all things you should bring." The old woman said Kang Qirui didn't understand. Kang Qirui was not happy. He pointed at the things written on the paper and retorted: "Pillows, mosquito nets, quilts, mats, where in the mountains are there places for you to use these? Do you think there is a big bed for you to sleep on?"

"McDonald's, KFC, Coke, mineral water. Winter coats, autumn coats, long sleeves, short sleeves. Rain boots, sandals, sneakers. Electric mosquito swatter, mosquito repellent, umbrella, baseball bat. Tsk tsk tsk, Er Lao, is your son Nezha?"

The second brother didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Kang Qirui in confusion.

"With so many things, how can we carry them if we are not Nezha and do not have three heads and six arms?" Kang Qirui shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Aren't parents not allowed to go together? Then who will help Tianxiu carry these things?"

"Uh" everyone looked at each other, speechless. As soon as Kang Qirui said that, they realized that there were indeed too many things, even adults couldn't carry them, let alone a child like Tianxiu.

The second brother gave up immediately and spread his hands and said, "Then what do you want to bring?"

Kang Qirui took the pen and wrote on the paper: "Don't bring pillows, mosquito nets, quilts, and mats. Bring a sleeping bag and a sleeping pad, which are warm and not heavy. You don't need to bring so many clothes. Wear one set of clothes and bring a waterproof jacket and rain pants to keep warm and keep out the rain. Bring a hiking pole and a purified water bottle. Bring some dry food and instant noodles. You can put everything in one bag and solve all kinds of problems."

"But we don't have many of the things you mentioned at home." Er Lao thought Kang Qirui's suggestion was good, but he didn't have them at home. No one in the family liked camping, and they didn't have these things at all.

Kang Qirui pointed at the alarm clock on the table and said, "It's only eight o'clock now, the mall is not closed yet, go buy it." What's the problem? If you don't have it, just go buy it. It's so simple. Hearing this, the second brother took the second sister-in-law out to buy the various camping equipment that Kang Qirui had just mentioned.

Tianxiu was awakened early in the morning on June 6st. After having breakfast with the help of everyone, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes and set off. This time Tianxiu was not left behind because he had too much stuff. Although he still had the most stuff among his classmates, it was just one bag, which met the requirements of this expedition.

After seeing Tianxiu get on the expedition team's car and set off, Kang Qirui smiled happily. Every time he changed his family's fate and helped them make up for their past regrets, Kang Qirui felt a sense of accomplishment. Although this sense of accomplishment could not be shared with others, he still enjoyed it.

Coincidentally, after the Kang family returned to the Kang family, they saw A-Zu and Diana chatting in the living room. A-Zu, who had been out of contact for many days on a business trip, finally came back. As soon as he came back, he met Diana looking for him at the Kang family. Because Diana couldn't contact him in the past few days, she was worried that something had happened to him, so she came early in the morning. It happened that the Kang family went out to send Tianxiu to explore, and no one answered the door when they knocked. When they were about to leave, they met A-Zu who had returned from a business trip, so they were able to enter the house.

"Diana is here." After what happened with Zhang Yun, the old man no longer had any problem with Diana. He didn't even call his son, but greeted Diana first.

"Mr. Kang, Aunt Kang, hello." Diana stood up and greeted everyone, naturally exchanging pleasantries. While they were chatting, Kang Qirui pulled A Zu over and whispered, "Fourth brother, you have to treat me to a big meal this time."

"And us." Guang Zongyao, who was nearby, also heard it, and the listeners were involved.

Ah Zu was confused. "What's going on? I just came back from a business trip and I was exhausted. You still want me to treat you to a big meal? Why?"

"Why? Let me tell you." Kang Qirui told A Zu everything about Zhang Yun. "Then tell me, if we hadn't helped you figure this out, Zhang Yun would have stayed and Diana would have come to see you and met her. How much trouble would you have been in?"

"That's right. The four of us brothers helped you avoid this trouble and got your father to agree to Diana. Shouldn't you treat us?" The second brother also chimed in.

After A-Zu understood what was going on, he said happily, "Please, please, please."
