Chapter 1126: Chapter 1108: Paying Out of One’s Own Pocket Chapter 1126: Chapter 1108: Paying Out of One’s Own Pocket Gu Yu teased his own uncle.

Tang Xincheng gave his nephew a blank look.

“Too busy, no time to find a woman,” his dad had two grandsons after all, and they’d grown so big.

To watch another grow up from scratch was something he’d have to get used to.

How else could he be retiring now, having watched someone else’s grandson grow up?

Once he retired, his own grandson had grown up too; why keep working?

But no one considered the age of others; people were usually in their sixties, yet he was just over fifty.

It was just because he married early, had children early, and his daughter also married and had children early.

That’s why he was handing over the big family business to his nephew, although he was just over fifty.

It made him wake earlier than the chickens, work harder than the oxen, eat worse than the pigs, and sleep later than the ladies of the night.

With his current lifestyle, where would he find the time to go home and have more kids?

He finished the rest of his juice and then pulled out his wallet, taking out a stack of money and stuffing it into his nephew’s hands,
“Take it for food; I’m too busy to take care of you.”
“Uncle, how did you know I had no money for food?”

His own money had all gone to subsidize Grandma’s housing costs, so he was indeed broke.

He’d planned to borrow from his older brother, but even his brother didn’t have any, having invested all his money in something, so Gu Yu might soon be down to drinking water.

Still, his uncle was good to him.

Without counting, he knew it was several thousand yuan, enough for him to spend until he made money on the stocks; then he wouldn’t have to worry about being broke.

Tang Xincheng pinched his nephew’s cheek, “I know you too well.

Just like our Tang Family, you’re soft-spoken and kind-hearted.

Your mom wouldn’t give that much money, would she?

You’re paying out of your own pocket, right?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Gu Yu nodded earnestly.

It was indeed out of his own pocket, spending all the savings he had accumulated over the years.

Although his family was not short of money, the pocket money given to them by their parents was limited, and he had gradually recouped his spending money from his New Year’s cash gifts.

To suddenly spend it all was a little heartbreaking, but it was okay; he would just have to earn it back on his own.

“Come work for me then.

Uncle will pay you a salary,” Tang Xincheng suggested, patting his nephew’s head.

Their family never spoiled the kids; money was something to be earned.

His own spending money had been earned in the same way, and the younger ones were no different.

It would prevent them from becoming spoiled second-generation rich kids who could cause who knows what kind of trouble in the future?

Gu Yu managed to pat down his hair, annoyedaEUR”as much like their mother as one can get.

He never liked anyone touching his hair, uncle being the exception.

If it got mussed again, he’d just have to pat it down once more.

As for working here,
“I can only work at Mom’s hospital.”
He was studying medicine; he could only work at the hospital.

Was he supposed to come over here and move bricks?

“Alright,” Tang Xincheng chuckled, “when school starts, I’ll send you a laptop.

It’s light, easy to use, and from abroad.

I had to pull a lot of strings to get it.”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
Gu Yu happily smeared honey on his uncle’s face, “You’re the best uncle in the world.”
And amidst his pleasure, Tang Xincheng couldn’t help but stroke his own face.

Sigh, with a nephew just five years younger than himself, why did he feel like he was aging so much faster?
