"Look, look!" Xu Nianhua urged with a face full of joy.
Xu Nian'an opened the envelope with mixed feelings, which contained five ten-yuan bills—fifty yuan, equivalent to a month and a half's salary.
"How about that, am I not impressive?" Xu Nianhua asked, eagerly seeking praise and recognition.
"Impressive."
Xu Nian'an praised generously, "You've always been smart. Back when we were making mung bean jelly, if it weren't for you, our family wouldn't have undergone such a big change. Little sister, you are so outstanding, you're giving your big brother a lot of pressure."
Now that both mom and dad work in factories, the family expenses no longer rely on them, even the day-to-day living expenses, including his own, aren't small.
The eldest brother, now a delivery driver, will only earn more in the future.
The little sister, still a student, is earning more than many adults, whereas he, Xu Nian'an, seems to only spend money and not earn any.
