Chapter 655: Chapter 657 Missing Uncle
Gong Jiaming was shocked after hearing the content of the small meeting held by Gong Ruini and the others, "Ah, Ni Zi, are you really going to learn English?"
"Can you understand that?"
"Can you keep up with the study pace?"
Gong Jiaming was really envious. Why could Gong Ruini and the others learn a foreign language? He also really wanted to learn one. Even if he didn’t learn much, the thought of being able to communicate with foreigners excited him.
But Gong Jiaming could only dream, as he didn’t know when they would return. However, once his father’s work tasks were completed, they would immediately embark on their journey home.
"Of course, we can keep up with the study pace, and English lessons aren’t ongoing, especially since we haven’t been able to hire a teacher." In the future, if you have money, hiring an English tutor isn’t a problem.
However, it’s quite difficult to find such a teacher now. Gong Ruini previously suggested paying a high tuition fee, believing someone would definitely appear to earn some private tuition money.
This idea was immediately dismissed by Zhao Gang and the others, whose reason was that once they received the money, they might realize how quickly the money comes in and refuse to spend much effort on teaching, focusing instead on making extra money.
Gong Ruini felt that having this thought was quite normal, as everyone wishes to earn money. The problem is that teachers don’t earn much these days, so why should they be denied their opportunity to earn?
But she couldn’t deny that her father’s reasoning was valid. Nowadays, teachers are truly dedicated to teaching because they don’t have extra ways to earn money.
If this opportunity is opened, the situation wouldn’t be so easy to control.
Therefore, using money to pave the way isn’t feasible, so they can only rely on connections to see if they can find suitable and willing teachers. Of course, they must be willing to teach the children, or else if they visit in person, they might face rejection, which would be quite embarrassing.
"No rush. Little sister, you should study hard. I’ll come again next year, and I’ll try my best to follow your learning." Gong Jiaming was envious thinking about it. Studying in the hometown, even the best elementary schools wouldn’t teach so much, but here, Ni Zi really learned a lot.
Even Gong Jiaming admitted that he had learned a lot by following Gong Ruini. "If only I could attend classes in Beijing."
This way, he could study with Gong Ruini and the others, excel in studies, eat well, and broaden his horizons.
Beijing is indeed much better than the Southern Small City in many ways, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have this opportunity, alas.
Oh no, Gong Ruini didn’t want Gong Jiaming and the others to stay, as accommodation and meals would become issues then.
Although perhaps Zhuge Zhi wouldn’t mind as long as Gong Jiaming and the others could help with work, but what would the Zhuge Family’s clan members say if they saw them?
Gong Ruini’s mother moved in, which already left many people dissatisfied in various ways. If Gong Jiaming and the others stayed too, Gong Ruini could foresee the Zhuge Family’s elders visiting.
"Don’t you miss mom?" Gong Jiaxin had thought about it too, but she knew it was impossible.
After all, Gong Ruini and the others were also under the roof of someone else, and if they added Gong Jiaming and her siblings, would Grandpa Ge agree?
To avoid making things difficult for Gong Ruini and the others, Gong Jiaxin felt that it’s better to return home, where there’s mom, dad, grandpa, and Jiu.
"I miss mom." If she didn’t think about mom, Gong Jiaxin would feel alright and not too sad, but now she brought it up herself, and the tears were hard to control.
Seeing his sister’s tears streaming down, Gong Jiaming also felt a bit sad, "I miss mom too, I want to go back."
"When will dad finish the work?"
"How about we just go back now?" Gong Jiaming couldn’t wait to leave. Didn’t Aunty agree to buy tickets the last time? Yet, they still didn’t leave, believing that dad would finish the work quickly and take them away.
Unexpectedly, this delay really extended things, "Ni Zi, you report tomorrow."
"Yes." Two months of summer vacation passed by so quickly that Gong Ruini found it hard to adapt.
Gong Ruini still remembered how excited everyone was when the vacation started. They even planned to go home with their uncle, visit Zhang Lan, and see the excitement of the Cai Family.
Of course, for Gong Ruini, it was like witnessing an exciting farce, but for Cai Meina and Cai Ming, the face of their family for several generations was utterly lost.
Luckily, Cai Ming was studying at a university in Beijing, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would likely be assigned to Beijing after graduation. Otherwise, considering the Cai Family’s terrible reputation, there’d be real worries whether Aunty could find a suitable wife.
Ah, speaking of which, Gong Ruini suddenly recalled something very important, "Where did Uncle go?"
Ever since they returned from the Northeast, they hadn’t seen Cai Ming at all. What was going on? School isn’t in session, and Cai Ming is busy with book reading, so he doesn’t have time to visit? Isn’t this summer vacation?
Yeah, it’s been a long time since seeing Uncle. Where did he go? Even Gong Ruwen was surprised. "Could he be looking after Xiao Zhi for mom?"
"Impossible." Gong Ruini truly felt puzzled, "We often visit our brother, but we’ve never seen Uncle."
If Cai Ming was truly helping take care of mom and Gong Ruzhi, he should be at home, not hiding away since there’s nothing unseemly about it.
So the most likely explanation is that he’s not at home, but why couldn’t they see him even when they visited. Gong Ruini felt very curious.
"Maybe Uncle just happened to go out." Gong Ruwen wasn’t very certain either, but being an adult, Uncle wouldn’t have done anything foolish.
Alright, Gong Ruini thought so too. When Cai Ming broke up with Gao Yanan, everyone thought he might get into trouble, but he got through it, so there’s no reason he couldn’t handle things now.
"Maybe he really has some business, maybe he’s even helping find a new Aunt for us. Alas, Uncle isn’t having it easy." Gong Ruini suddenly remembered the last time she saw Cai Ming was when he came home and heard about the family buying a house and owing money.
Wait, could it be that Uncle went out to work and earn money to help them repay the debt? This isn’t impossible but rather quite likely.
Gong Ruini didn’t know if Cai Meina knew about this. If she did, she’d feel quite guilty since she previously suggested helping Uncle buy a house so he could get married.
Gong Ruini thought Wan Qiweng was nice, but unfortunately, Uncle didn’t have any feelings for her, so there’s no choice. She can only hope Uncle can find someone who treats him well and stands up to those shameless people from the Cai Family.
Gong Ruini kept praying, but little did she know, Cai Ming was really going crazy at the moment, overwhelmed by how difficult it was just to earn money from working.
But regret? What good is it? He came himself in the first place, and should he just exit now?
