Chapter 4 Is it worthy?
At six o'clock in the evening, Lin Xiuhong called the two of them to the living room for dinner.
Li Luo put down the pen in his hand with a still unfinished expression, and confirmed that he had calculated the answers to a dozen questions, and gradually became more at ease.
After dinner, continue working hard in the evening, and you should be able to successfully get scores for most of the questions on tomorrow's Chinese and mathematics test papers.
Thinking like this, Li Luo stood up with Ying Chanxi and walked out of the bedroom. He saw Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong walking out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
Suddenly seeing his parents who were twenty years younger, Li Luo subconsciously paused on the spot and looked at the two of them in a daze.
Although he already possesses the ability of the Memory Palace, Li Luo did not deliberately recall what his parents looked like when they were young.
After comparing them at this moment, I suddenly realized that even though my parents are actually almost forty years old, they look quite young.
At least it was completely different from what he remembered twenty years later, when his temples were gray and his face was wrinkled.
This made him take a deep breath and try to suppress the hot heat in his chest, preventing them from completely flooding his eyebrows.
Ying Chanxi, who was on the side, had already stepped forward to help bring out other dishes from the kitchen.
"Xixi has come to help, and you don't know how to help." Lin Xiuhong patted her son on the shoulder and urged, "Go get the dishes and chopsticks."
"... "Yeah." Li Luo struggled to hold back his sobs, and while nodding, he swallowed all the strong emotion and joy, and hurriedly walked into the kitchen.
He pretended to wash his hands and wiped the corners of his eyes, then took out clean dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard and brought them to the living room table.
"Xixi, won't your dad come back from the high school entrance examination in the next few days?" Li Guohong took a bottle of liquor from the counter and asked casually to the well-behaved Ying Chanxi.
"Dad said he has been very busy recently, and I have already passed the independent enrollment, so he didn't let him come back." Ying Chanxi responded in a low voice, completely different from the way he just pulled Li Luo's ears in the bedroom. Two people.
"Oh, that's right." Li Guohong nodded, and then the hand holding the liquor was patted by Lin Xiuhong, and he hissed helplessly, "Just drink a small cup."
" Li Luo will take the high school entrance examination tomorrow, will you die if you wait two days?" Lin Xiuhong glared at him, "You ask him to come back with good grades, and then you can drink whatever you want at the celebration banquet."
"Ahem, this is not important." Li Guohong retracted his hand angrily, then winked at his wife and said to Li Luo, "Of course the high school entrance examination is very important, but don't put too much pressure on yourself, just perform normally."
"I know." Li Luo rarely quarreled with his parents. He sat quietly at the dinner table and nodded in agreement.
This made both Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong a little surprised. They glanced at their son rather uncomfortably, and then looked at each other again.
Lin Xiuhong, who originally planned to say a few more words, swallowed the words that just came to her lips, sat down at the table and said softly:
"Li Luo, don't be too nervous, dad. Mom doesn’t have high demands on you, just perform at your usual level and don’t think about anything else.”
According to the usual script, 15-year-old Li Luo had choked back a long time ago.
Then Lin Xiuhong will talk about Ying Chanxi and ask him to learn from her. Our family does not expect you to be admitted to a key provincial school like Attached No. 1 Middle School, but at least you can get into general education. High, right?
But seeing the calm look on Li Luo's face, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong did not dare to provoke this kid.
"I'm not nervous." Li Luo looked at his mother with a puzzled look on his face, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Lin Xiuhong felt a little strange when he stared at her, and touched her face: "It's best not to be nervous, but why are you staring? What's stuck on my face?"
"No." Li Luo shook his head, "I just suddenly felt that you are so beautiful, Mom."
"You brat..." Lin Xiuhong was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up a little, but her mouth He still suppressed his slightly high-pitched voice, "I'm already a busy person. I don't care about anything pretty. I just eat and eat."
"Haha, of course your mother is beautiful." Li Guohong picked up the chopsticks with a smile and was the first to use them. He also praised his wife, "If you can let me have a drink, she will be even more beautiful."
"Get out of the way." Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him.
Ying Chanxi on the side also picked up the chopsticks obediently, with a smile on his face, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Aunt Lin is the prettiest. When we go shopping, others think she is my sister and they all look at her. Not for your age.”
“Don’t brag.” Lin Xiuhong waved her hands, “Hurry up and eat.” Unstoppable.
The family ate happily and occasionally chatted at the table, mostly with advice and encouragement.
Li Luo and Ying Chanxi picked up vegetables quietly, only chiming in a few words when their elders asked questions.
Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong chatted for a while about the high school entrance examination. After confirming that Li Luo would continue to review later, they nodded with relief and continued to eat.
Although this kid Li Luo has always been out of tune before, he was able to turn around before the high school entrance examination and seemed to have become a lot more sensible, which is better than giving up on himself all the time.
However, the couple didn't think much about it, and their thoughts were very simple.
Based on my son's level, if the score line can exceed the general high line, everything will be fine.
If he fails in the end, spend tens of thousands of dollars and grit your teeth and send him to Pugao.
As long as he can maintain the attitude he has today in the future, then the money spent will be considered worthwhile.
As for provincial key high schools like Yuhang No. 1 Middle School?
Li Luo dares to think.
The couple didn’t dare to think about it.
Just dream boldly when you dream.
After talking about Li Luo's high school entrance examination, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong talked about their breakfast shop.
"The store will be closed temporarily during the two days of high school entrance examination." Li Guohong took a bite of rice and said in a dull voice, "It's not bad for these two days."
"Examination room It's just in the school, I can go there by myself, don't delay the business of the breakfast shop." Li Luo looked up at his parents and then interrupted.
"It's only been two days. What's the delay?" Lin Xiuhong glanced at him, "We will take you home for dinner after the exam. Your father and I will cook for you these two days to ensure your nutrition. You just have to take the exam well. "Yes." Li Guohong also nodded, "Don't worry about it. Prepare for the exam with peace of mind."
"...I understand." Li Luo lowered his head and continued eating in silence. .
What his parents didn’t know was Li Luo’s turbulent heart at the moment.
In his impression, the day before the high school entrance examination in his previous life, he took Zhao Rongjun to play ball and came home very late.
Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong prepared a table of dishes that were all cold.
The two parties had a big quarrel, and my father went to the store to sell breakfast as usual early the next morning.
Although his mother sent him to the examination room and prepared lunch and dinner for him on both days of the high school entrance examination, she would still run back to the store to help when she had time.
Now that I have been reborn, it is just a small change. I went home early to review and have a normal dinner. My parents decided to stop business for two days very logically.
Everything is normal.
But Li Luo's heart at this moment was indeed difficult to calm down.
The parents at that time were probably extremely disappointed with his son.
“I’m full.”
After finishing the rice quickly, Li Luo swallowed all the guilt and regret. After getting up, he regrouped, “I’ll go back to the room to review first. "
"Then I..." Ying Chanxi hadn't finished eating yet, but he put down his bowl and chopsticks and was about to get up.
Li Luo slapped her shoulder: "Eat slowly, come in after you finish, don't be so anxious."
"Yes, Xixi, eat slowly." Lin Xiuhong He also said, "Li Luo, you go first."
"Oh..." Ying Chanxi blinked and picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, but he ate a little faster.
At the dinner table, seeing Li Luo enter the bedroom, Lin Xiuhong confirmed that he could not hear the noise outside, then lowered the volume and whispered to Ying Chanxi:
"Xixi Ah, Auntie, I want to ask you something.”
"Huh?"
"Li Luo, do you think there is still hope for Pugao? Can we reach the score line?"
"I couldn't tell for sure before." Ying Chan stopped at the stream He put down his bowl and chopsticks, thought about it for a while, and analyzed it seriously, "Aunt Lin, you also know that only Li Luo's scores in the third model exceeded last year's general high score."
"And in the third model, Li Luo The questions are relatively simple, and the purpose is to boost everyone's confidence."
"So if Li Luo performs as before, he may not be able to reach the score line."
" But..."
Ying Chanxi immediately added, "He reviewed very carefully today."
"I helped him sort through all the Chinese and mathematics mock test papers."< br>
“If he really learns it and gets a few more points, there is still hope for Pugao.”
After listening to Ying Chanxi’s words, Lin Xiuhong breathed a sigh of relief, and then Picking up the chopsticks, she gave Ying Chanxi a piece of her favorite Coke chicken wings: "Xixi, eat more, Li Luo will have to trouble you today."
"Thank you, Aunt Lin~" Ying Chanxi took a bite of the chicken wing, and then said sweetly, "Aunt Lin has taken care of me since I was a child, and this little thing is what I should do."
"Oh... Li Luo is like this Guy, if you were even half obedient, I would be grateful."
Lin Xiuhong looked at Ying Chanxi, somewhat envious, but also very pleased.
Ying Chanxi's mother passed away very early, and her father was busy with work. He usually worked in Yuhang City Center and only came back when he was free on weekends.
So Ying Chanxi usually lives alone.
As the child of Ying Chanxi's father, Li Guohong and his wife usually take good care of Ying Chanxi and often call her to come to the house for dinner.
After a long time, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is half their daughter.
Therefore, they are very happy that Ying Chanxi is so good now.
It's a pity, it would be better if my son could be as good as Ying Chanxi.
"I'm full too." After Ying Chanxi finished eating, he carefully swept the leftover bones in front of him into the bowl, got up, cleaned up Li Luo's pile, and took it into the kitchen to wash his hands. After sitting in the pool, he walked towards Li Luo's bedroom, "Aunt Lin, I'll go in first."
"Well, go ahead, go ahead." Lin Xiuhong responded, "It's all your hard work today."
"It's not hard work." Ying Chanxi shook her head, then opened the door and walked into Li Luo's bedroom. .
"I wish I had a daughter like Xixi." Lin Xiuhong looked at Ying Chanxi's disappearing back and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
Li Guohong, who was opposite, glanced at her, and then chuckled: "Ask your son to work hard. If your daughter can't do it, your daughter-in-law can still do it."
"..." Lin Xiuhong glanced at her. He glanced at her, then smiled, "Is Li Luo worthy of her?"
Those who didn't know what she said might have thought that Ying Chanxi was her biological daughter and Li Luo was her son-in-law.
But after Li Guohong listened, he remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "...Indeed."
