Chapter 20 School Entrance Banquet
In the Yang Ji Family Banquet Hotel, Zhang Xuefen shuttled between boxes No. 3, 4 and 5 with a smile on her face.
She took her son Wei Chun with her to toast the relatives and friends who came to attend the college entrance banquet, and then received the red envelope with a smile.
"Your Wei Chun is really promising, unlike ours, whose grades are a mess."
"He can still improve a lot." Zhang Xuefen covered her mouth and said with a smile, "I only scored 525 points this time, ranking 286th in the district."
"Isn't that great? There must be thousands of people taking the high school entrance examination every year, right?" The relative laughed and said, " If you feel inferior, just ask Chun Chun to be my son."
"Hahaha~" Zhang Xuefen smiled happily, and then said, "Isn't this because I got into the No. 1 Middle School. "
"It's not like you don't know that there are more than 600 students in each grade of the No. 1 Middle School. After our Chunchun entered, he was at a mid-range level."
"This is an improvement. There is still a lot of space. You have to work harder when you go to high school, right?”
Wei Chun is quite tall, but next to his mother, he always has a stooped back and looks short. For a few minutes, he remained helplessly silent.
He only squeaked twice when Zhang Xuefen called him to say hello and toast.
On the other side, Wei Dongrong was also holding a wine glass, drinking and chatting with a large table of relatives, talking about his real estate project business.
Several of the relatives have already invested money and are inviting other relatives who are still hesitant to join.
We were chatting happily at the wine table. Wei Dongrong drank too much and got up to go to the toilet.
As a result, when I passed by boxes No. 8 to No. 10 at the back, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inside.
Stop and take a closer look, Wei Dongrong raised his eyebrows and found that it was Li Guohong's family.
Looking at Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong pulling their son Li Luo, toasting back and forth between several tables, with smiles on their faces, it seemed that Li Guohong's family was treating them.
This is out of season, so it should be a banquet for children to enter college, right?
Thinking about this, Wei Dongrong glanced at Li Luo and thought, didn't his wife say before that Li Luo's grades were not very good?
I guess it was because I performed exceptionally well during the high school entrance examination, and I did pretty well, right?
Thinking of this, Wei Dongrong went to the toilet first, then returned to his box and waved to Zhang Xuefen.
"What's wrong with my husband?" Zhang Xuefen was chatting happily with her relatives over there, immersed in the joy of being praised and praised, when Wei Dongrong called her over, and she suddenly asked in confusion.
"I saw Li Guohong and his family nearby." Wei Dongrong whispered in his wife's ear, "I took them to see the project before, and the intention was very good, but they never responded. "
"It just so happens that you and I will come with you and take Chun Chun with you, just to congratulate their son on his further education and ask about investment."
"If we can reach an agreement, we can ask their relatives over there to see if we can attract more people."
"Xiuhong and the others are also here?" Zhang Xuefen was stunned for a moment, and then He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call Chun Chun, and we'll go there together."
"Be careful." Wei Dongrong reminded, "I know you have a bad relationship with your cousin, but Don't talk nonsense after a while."
"I know." Zhang Xuefen nodded quickly, "Don't you know the priorities?"
...
The private rooms at Yang Ji’s family banquet are connected in a row.
When several tables need to be eaten together, the screen wall in the middle can be opened to form a larger box.
Li Luo’s college entrance banquet was in the boxes No. 8 to 10 of Yang Ji’s family banquet.
At around five o'clock in the evening, relatives arrived and took their seats one after another.
First they ate the food lively for half an hour, and then Li Luo obediently followed his parents and got up to toast.
Of course, he is still underage and can only drink juice.
The red envelopes received from relatives have to be handed over to parents in the end.
But seeing that his grandparents were healthy and happy, Li Luo was satisfied.
I vaguely remember that his grandma passed away during his freshman year.
Grandpa passed away when he just graduated from college.
When I was thirty years old, my grandmother couldn’t survive it either.
At thirty-five, Li Luo was left with only his parents.
Especially when my mother was seriously ill and her health was in critical condition.
In contrast, Li Luo only felt that it was an extremely beautiful thing to be able to be reborn and return to the present.
So the words he said were a bit sweet, making the elders laugh heartily.
In addition, Li Luo's grades in the high school entrance examination were very good this time. He was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School attached to him and was very promising. The atmosphere in the box was very good.
After a round of toasts, everyone continued drinking and chatting.
Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong sat at the table with Grandpa San and began to talk in detail about buying a house.
Because we had already confirmed it before, we had a pleasant chat this time about the price, especially the third grandfather’s family was in a hurry to move out, and the housing prices in the northern part of Yinjiang District were not high, so Li Luo’s family I also got a very good price here.
A down payment of 500,000, and a loan of just over 1 million, and a house of about 150 square meters, that's about it.
“But there is something I told you last time.” Third Grandpa reminded, “I made four bedrooms in our suite.”
"There are students with three bedrooms. They just finished the college entrance examination this year and graduated, so the lease will not be renewed."
"But there is also a little girl who should be a sophomore in high school this year. She signed a three-year contract before. Contract."
"So if you decide, first think about whether you want to continue renting it to someone else, or whether you want to stop renting it."
"What about the rental contract and the deposit? Leave it all to you, you can handle it yourself."
Li Guohong nodded, thinking of this, then turned to look at Lin Xiuhong: "What do you think? Li Luo and Xixi live there. Isn't it better if there are no outsiders to disturb us?" "But if we cancel the lease, we have to pay liquidated damages or something, right?" Lin Xiuhong thought for a while and said, "And they are also students of the No. 1 Middle School, so we live together. We can make progress together, but we need to know what the girl’s personality is like and whether we can get along with her.”
After hearing this, Li Luo was a little confused.
After all, if possible, he would definitely not want to share a room with a stranger.
But the family’s mortgage loan of one million yuan is quite stressful.
If the monthly rent can be returned, it can at least alleviate a little of the mortgage pressure on my parents.
Although Li Luo is quite confident in the novels he writes, he cannot stand the current situation in 2014. The market for paid online articles is really not that big.
Especially the paid reading market of Qidian Chinese website’s main website is completely incomparable to what it will be ten years later.
If you can reach an average of 3,000 readers paying for the full copy, you are already a very powerful boss.
On the best-selling ranking list of the entire site, counting from the tenth place onwards, it has not reached the 10,000 average order result.
Compared with the scenes that were serialized simultaneously in millions of copies and thousands of orders in later generations, it is still far behind.
If the data of the distribution channel is better, you can even compete for the spot of the website master with 3000 subscriptions.
But even for such a big shot, the monthly subscription fee for the main website is only about 10,000 yuan.
At this point, if possible, it would be natural for the family to have an additional source of income and earn more money.
Although my parents made up their mind to buy a house, they never expected Li Luo to be of any help.
But once again, how could Li Luo be able to enjoy high school life with peace of mind and not share any family pressure?
At least set a small goal first to help your family pay off the million dollar mortgage as soon as possible.
So Li Luo said: "Since we have signed a three-year rental contract, there is no need to cancel it, right? Just live together."
"We have to go to school anyway. Yes, it’s just a place to take a shower and sleep, so it won’t be a problem.”
“We can also supervise our studies together during the weekend, right?”
Lin Xiuhong heard what her son said. He also nodded: "You are right. Since you don't mind, then we will definitely not cancel the rent."
"That's okay." Seeing that they had made up their minds, the third grandfather said, "Let's make an appointment to go through all the procedures for this matter and transfer the ownership as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease earlier."
After finalizing the articles of association for this matter, everyone laughed happily.
Li Guohong held the wine glass and led his family to toast the third grandfather again.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the box.
Li Luo looked towards the door and saw the figure of his cousin Wei Dongrong, followed by his cousin Zhang Xuefen and his cousin Wei Chun.
"Huh? Dongrong?" Li Guohong looked over following the voice, raised his brows, stood up and faced him over there, "What a coincidence? Are you here too?"
"Yes." Wei Dongrong walked in with a smile, holding a wine glass in his hand, and clinked it with Li Guohong, "Why don't you hold a college entrance banquet for Chun Chun? Are you here too?"
"Yes, yes. "Yes." Li Guohong laughed and led the three of them to the table. "Li Luo did well in the exam. I just wanted to celebrate."
"Congratulations." Probably because he did well in the exam. No matter how good he was, he didn't have high scores. Wei Dongrong just verbally congratulated him, toasted with a glass of wine, and changed the subject, and then slowly led him to the real estate project.
On the side, Zhang Xuefen saw that the two men were already chatting, so she pulled Wei Chun towards Lin Xiuhong and Li Luo.
"Xiuhong, congratulations." Zhang Xuefen toasted to Lin Xiuhong with a smile, "I heard that your Li Luo did well in the exam this time, I'm very happy to congratulate you."
"Thank you. "After all, she was being toasted, so Lin Xiuhong didn't show any emotion, and replied with a smile, "Your Wei Chun did well in the exam, right? Looking at you, you must be fine in the No. 1 Middle School."
"Yes, yes, I got 525 points in the exam, 286th in the district, and there is really nothing wrong with the No. 1 Middle School." Zhang Xuefen covered her mouth and chuckled. After being praised by Lin Xiuhong, she immediately felt comfortable and pulled her Wei Chun then said, "Chun Chun, come here, give your cousin a toast."
"Hello, cousin." Wei Chun raised his glass helplessly.
Li Luo glanced at his mother and decided to take the initiative and raise his glass too.
So the four people clinked their glasses, and the atmosphere on the surface was very pleasant.
Just when Zhang Xuefen wanted to ask specifically how many points Li Luo got, Wei Dongrong over there had already walked over.
Li Guohong followed with a slightly apologetic look on his face: "I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to finish the college entrance banquet and just tell you."
"It's okay. "Wei Dongrong smiled slightly, but he couldn't tell his true feelings, "Since your money has other uses, I can't buy or sell it by force, right? We can cooperate again if we have the opportunity."
"Yes, we will cooperate again if we have the opportunity." Li Guohong smiled, and then congratulated Wei Chun, "I just heard that your Chun Chun was admitted to the No. 1 High School. Come, my cousin proposes a toast to you."
>
"Thank you, thank you cousin." Wei Chun quickly raised his glass in response.
On the other hand, Zhang Xuefen next to her looked dissatisfied. After hearing the conversation between Li Guohong and her husband, she knew that the conversation had collapsed.
So after Li Guohong congratulated his son, she looked at Li Luo with a thorny smile, handed the cup to Li Luo and asked: "Then I also have to congratulate your Li Luo, this time You did well in the high school entrance examination, are you planning to go to Shulan or Yingcai?”
She didn’t even say that she didn’t think Li Luo’s grades would be good.
As soon as these words came out, Li Luo's side was fine, but Wei Chun's expression became embarrassed.
Wei Chun, who was silent at first, suddenly tugged on his mother's clothes and whispered: "Mom, please stop talking."
"What did you say?" Zhang Xuefen glanced at her son in surprise, Before he noticed anything was wrong, "I'm just asking about my grades. What's wrong with Li Luo, the caring person?"
"But..." Wei Chun looked embarrassed, glanced at the calm Li Luo, and said I want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
After all, at the graduation ceremony last week, he watched Li Luo go on stage to receive the award.
But the next second, Li Luo on the other side said innocently: "But cousin, I scored 555 points in the high school entrance examination and ranked 86th in the district. If I choose Shulan or Yingcai, right? Not so good?”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xuefen’s smiling face suddenly froze.
