Chapter 978: Chapter 975: Brotherly Love, One Family
Cai Xiufen glanced at her five sons and her beloved daughter and son-in-law, her face showing confusion mixed with amusement.
Kang Guosheng: "This year, it’s rare for us children to all gather together, so we wanted to have a good talk with you and Dad."
Kang Guoan: "Mom, what Second Brother said is exactly what I meant."
"I have nothing to say to you."
Captain Kang glanced at Second Brother Kang (Kang Guosheng) and Kang Guoan, puffing on his pipe as he spoke: "Focus on your work outside, and come home when you can. Your mother and I only wish for all of you to be well, and there’s no need for you to worry about anything else."
"Dad, when you say that... we just feel more guilty being away from you and Mom. You raised us, but we work away from home all year long and rarely return to see you. When we call and invite you to stay with us for a while, you and Mom say you can’t leave the house. I understand, you worry about troubling us."
Kang Guosheng is a tough guy, but at this moment he couldn’t help but be a little emotional. His eyes slightly reddened as he earnestly said: "This year, our family suddenly has five college graduates,
which is all thanks to you and Mom. We’ve reached where we are today because of your hard work and dedicated upbringing. Dad, Mom, I’d like to wish you an early Happy New Year, wishing you health and happiness always!"
Before the others could react, Kang Guosheng knelt on the bed, and bowed his head to Captain Kang and his wife.
Fourth Brother Kang snapped out of it and teased Second Brother Kang (Kang Guosheng): "Dad, Mom, my Second Brother is still as cunning as ever. He said everything we brothers wanted to say, and even wished you Happy New Year before us. I feel like taking him outside for a fight!"
"You dare to say that, from childhood to adulthood, when have you not been overpowered and beaten by your Second Brother?!"
Cai Xiufen glared at Fourth Brother Kang, and suddenly, Big Brother Kang and the others burst into laughter.
Fourth Brother Kang felt awkward, he rubbed his nose and looked at his mother with a plaintive gaze: "Mom, as the saying goes: don’t hit the face when you hit someone, don’t expose someone’s shortcomings. Yet you always aim for my sore spots!"
Upon hearing Fourth Brother Kang’s words, except for Captain Kang and Luo Yanqing who didn’t laugh obviously, the others couldn’t hold back their laughter again.
Kang Guosheng: "Among the brothers, you’re the mischievous one. Every time I beat you, it’s because you deserved it. Admit it?"
Putting away the laughter, Kang Guosheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Fourth Brother Kang.
"What do you mean I’m the mischievous one? I’m just lively. Big Brother has never beaten me, neither has Third Brother. You’re the only one who always pins me to the ground for a thrashing!"
Glaring at Second Brother Kang, Fourth Brother said: "This is my eternal pain. Every time I think of it, I feel sore all over."
Kang Li smiled with arched brows: "Why haven’t I seen Second Brother ever beat you, Fourth Brother?"
"Your Fourth Brother is eleven years older than you, by the time you could remember things, I was already seventeen, a grown lad not waiting around for your Second Brother to get me pinned to the ground! Besides, by that time your Second Brother had joined the army, not giving him any chance to beat me.
Fourth Brother Kang said this, glaring again at Second Brother Kang Guosheng: "In our family, Second Brother only ever beat me alone, showing no brotherly love."
"Where did you learn to say things like that?"
Cai Xiufen turned her gaze to her Fourth Son, and then she glanced at her youngest son, seeing Kang Guoan obviously nervously avoiding her gaze. At this moment, Fourth Brother Kang put his arm around Kang Guoan’s shoulders and laughed: "Of course, I learned it from my good little brother. He’s told me quite a few stories about his time in North City."
