Several times I wanted to bring your brother over, but I was afraid you wouldn’t be ready yet, so I kept putting it off.
Think about it with that pig brain of yours. If you continue to drift through life like this, what skills will you have to take over from me? Can you negotiate? Do you understand the ways of the world? Besides eating, drinking, and gambling, what else can you do? Sending you abroad for studies was meant for you to learn management skills and expand your network, and what have you done?
Alright, alright, I’m scared of you now. Stop nagging; I’ll go with you to pick him up.
Xu Lei, tired of the nagging, pushed Xu Haigui out of the room and mumbled as he went to wash up in the bathroom. He had heard this speech so many times that his ears were practically calloused.
How about that? Aren’t your two nephews handsome?
In the airport waiting hall, Xu Haigui handed his phone to Xu Lei. “The genes of our Xu family are just strong.”
Xu Lei looked at the photo of the two brothers who bore an eight-point resemblance and scratched his nose. “They don’t even look like twins.”
Well, they are brothers; they’re both your brother’s kids.
A slightly plump Li Yanhong smiled as she took the phone back and flipped through other photos of Xu Li’s children to show Xu Lei. “This is the eldest, Lao San is a girl, and Little Guy is the youngest.”
Xu Lei stared blankly at the photos and blinked at his mother. “Isn’t Xu Li still quite young? His kids are already teenagers?”
Your brother is already this old; it’s normal for his kids to be a bit older. Don’t make such a fuss about it.
Li Yanhong gave him a light smack and returned the phone to Xu Haigui. “Have we booked a restaurant?”
Haha, yes, we’ve booked the only star-rated hotel in our city.
Xu Haigui rubbed his hands together happily. “This will be our first time meeting the kids; last time we saw them, they had just been born.”
What? You’ve all met them before? Why didn’t you tell me?
Xu Lei felt increasingly overlooked. Li Yanhong shot him a glance. “Your brother dares to hit your dad; do you want him to hit you too?”
I—
Xu Lei wanted to retort but remembered how he had almost been beaten to death by his brother when they were kids. He clicked his tongue and fell silent.
Li Yanhong had come to terms with things over the years. Initially, it was indeed her child’s fault for acting out first; she shouldn’t have slapped him without understanding the situation. It was only right for him to hold a grudge against her. She had wanted to make amends over the years but had put it off due to distance.
Thinking back, she felt genuinely sorry for that child. Since she couldn’t make it up to the elder one, she would double her efforts for the younger one. Besides, Little Guy was sweet-talking her with “grandma,” which melted her heart.
“Attention passengers: please note that flight…”
Confirming that it was indeed her eldest grandson’s flight, Xu Haigui leaned forward and occasionally stood on tiptoe to look down the corridor.
Xu Lei took out his phone to use it as a mirror, smoothing his hair. It was his first time meeting his nephews, and as their elder, he couldn't be too casual.
"Here they come," Da Gui announced.
Li Yanhong pointed at the two boys coming through the tunnel. They were tall and thin, wearing their caps backward. One of them had a backpack slung over his shoulder and was looking around curiously. Li Yanhong quickly waved to the brothers, "Jia Guo! Jia Ping! Over here!"
The brothers waved back and followed the other travelers out of the tunnel. Xu Lei looked at the two young boys and opened his mouth slightly, "Are these Dad's kids?"
