Chapter 18 Taking home the certificate
A graduation dinner started at around five o'clock in the afternoon and ended at eight o'clock in the evening.
Obviously what I drank was not wine, but the sadness caused by parting was more intoxicating than wine.
After night fell, everyone parted at the door of Jiangnan Restaurant.
There are two female classmates who are more emotional. Because they live in the urban area, they may not have studied in Yinjiang District in high school. They hugged their best friends and burst into tears.
For those who live far away, parents have already driven over to pick up their children.
Li Luo and others lived near the school, so after saying hello to Teacher Zhang, they left along the sidewalk with Ying Chanxi and others.
“Hiccup~” Li Luo touched his slightly bulging belly while walking on the road, “It feels like half of my stomach is filled with juice.”
In the first half of the journey, everyone at the dinner table was still Go to the teacher to toast.
After letting go in the second half, the little kids imitated adults one by one, toasting each other and expressing their feelings. If they don’t drink, they look down on their buddies.
Just bring the cultural dregs to the wine table.
This seems to be the only way to show your growth.
During this process, three boys came to Ying Chanxi to confess their love towards the end.
One from class 5 and two from class 6 next door usually don’t show off their affection. But when it came time to say goodbye completely after graduation, they finally mustered up the courage and decided to put this relationship on fire and completely separate. combustion.
Why do you say that... because no one went there with the idea that Ying Chanxi would agree.
It is not so much a confession, but an explanation for the youthful throbbing of my three years in junior high school.
Including those boys who have not confessed their love, in fact, who has not had some fantasies about Bai Yueguang like Chanxi?
Just Ying Chanxi’s polite smile of thanks and decline still sent such fantasy to the grave of beautiful youth.
The other boys looked enviously as they watched Li Luo help Ying Chanxi pick up his schoolbag so naturally.
They are childhood sweethearts and neighbors, and many people in the class know that.
It's just that the two of them never said anything, they were just like good friends since childhood.
Even so, being able to stay with Ying Chanxi every day and listen to her talk is an enviable thing for many people.
Li Luo, who was surrounded by blessings and knew no blessings, burped and opened the zipper of Ying Chanxi's schoolbag. He checked his certificate and made sure that there were no damaged wrinkles before he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you so careful?” Ying Chanxi on the side saw his hopeless look and couldn’t help but laugh, “This kind of award actually has no practical meaning, it just sounds nice.”
Unlike the title of outstanding teacher, which can be used as a basis for competition for teacher titles, the outstanding graduates awarded by Yucai Middle School are just an award with no actual benefits.
The most you can do is wait until you get to high school, and you can use this trick to fool your class teacher and classmates when school starts, so that you can compete for class cadres.
But Li Luo raised his eyebrows and responded to Chan Xi's righteous words: "You, a certificate wholesaler, naturally don't understand the pain of a scumbag like me."
"I In more than ten years of studying, this is the first time I have won such a prestigious award.”
“I have to mount this directly on the wall of the living room so that my parents can appreciate it every day.”
Ying Chanxi pursed her lips and smiled, then asked: "Can I also hang this on your wall?"
"Why are you hanging your certificates at my house?" Li Luo said speechlessly, "Do you have to show off in front of me?"
"No." Ying Chanxi blinked and said, "I have too many certificates. I can’t hang it at home, so I’ll borrow it from your wall.”
“...Ying Chanxi, don’t act so stiff in the future, it’s a bit annoying.”
“That’s it. I won’t ask you anymore. I’ll go back and ask my uncle and aunt.”
“Then I’ll beg you. Wait until I take out the certificate and show it to my parents.”
"You have begged me so much, so I had to reluctantly agree."
The two of them bickered and chatted along the way, and soon they chatted with all their classmates.
When they came to their senses, there were no other people around them, only the two walking side by side towards home.
……
8:30 pm, Jincheng Community.
Li Guohong was sitting on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, quietly enjoying the feeling of the white smoke curling up.
On the other side, Lin Xiuhong was talking on the phone with a smile on her face.
“Hey, yes, yes! 555 points!”
“Oh no, the attached one is indeed stable.”
“No, no, not so much. That's an exaggeration. It's all up to that kid."
"Yes, it will definitely be done. I'm calling you now."
"It's just next week and the weekend. Are you free?"
"Okay, okay, it's settled then."
Lin Xiuhong has called a dozen times since the breakfast shop closed and returned home in the evening. Telephone.
Now, as long as they are close relatives, they all know that Li Luo, the son of the Xiuhong family, scored 555 points in the high school entrance examination this year, and is sure to be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School.
By the way, it has been decided to hold a college entrance banquet for Li Luo next weekend to celebrate his successful admission to the No. 1 High School Affiliated to the High School.
Originally, Li Guohong wanted to help and make calls together.
But Lin Xiuhong pushed him away directly and insisted on fighting alone. It took more than two hours to call all the relatives with whom I had a better relationship.
With my mouth constantly firing for two hours, a normal person would already have dry mouth.
But Lin Xiuhong felt refreshed and refreshed at this time. She had not been so energetic for a long time, as if her entire soul had been sublimated.
"There should be three tables in total." Lin Xiuhong put down her mobile phone and said to Li Guohong, "No one has booked the restaurant at Shufen's house for next weekend. It just so happens that we can book three tables in advance? Can we still have our own people? Cheaper."
"Okay, let's settle it first." Li Guohong nodded, "My uncle is here too, right?"
"No," said Lin Xiuhong. If you want to talk to them about the house, let’s invite them over for a meal. Let’s talk in detail at the dinner table.” Li Guohong thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then said, “Then Weidong. Over there..."
"Take it easy for now?" Lin Xiuhong thought for a while, "After all, the matter of my uncle's house has not been completely settled yet. After I am sure that I can buy it, can I say no to Wei Dongrong?"
"That's right." Li Guohong agreed with his wife's idea, and then couldn't help but sigh, "It's really like a dream. How can a kid like Li Luo do so well in the exam?"
That's what he said. As he did so, Li Guohong felt Lin Xiuhong move towards him.
The next second, a slap lightly hit his face.
"No...what are you doing?" Li Guohong covered half of his face and looked at his wife in surprise.
“You said it felt like a dream.” Lin Xiuhong laughed and said, “Does it hurt? If it hurts, it’s not a dream.”
“Thank you so much.”
< br>The old couple were chatting at home, and the sound of keys sounded at the door.
The next second, Li Luo opened the door and walked in.
Yingchan Creek is also followed behind.
"Dad, Mom, your pride is back!" Li Luo walked into the house, put on his slippers, then walked to the living room with a proud look on his face, opened his hands and declared loudly, "Do you miss me?"
I don’t know if it’s the hormonal effects of a young body, but now Li Luo has become more and more accustomed to being a 15-year-old child.
But Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong looked at their son like this, and just said to Ying Chanxi behind him: "Xixi, come and sit."
Ying Chanxi sat down next to Lin Xiuhong obediently, After looking at Li Luo and seeing the hint in his eyes, I had no choice but to open my schoolbag, pick out a certificate from it, and hand it to my uncle and aunt.
"Aunt Lin, look, what is this?"
"Huh?" Lin Xiuhong was stunned for a moment and took the certificate from Ying Chanxi.
Li Guohong, who was standing next to him, also came over and read as he read: "Congratulations to Li Luo, for winning the title of outstanding graduate of Yucai Middle School... 2014...?"
"What kind of award is this? Huh?" Lin Xiuhong asked curiously, "Did the school give it to him? Or did he buy it from the store?"
"No...Mom, your question is very heartbreaking. "Li Luo said with an unconvinced look, "Of course it was given by the school! I went on stage to receive the award during the graduation ceremony today! I will get the award photo from Teacher Zhang another day."
"Of course I am willing to believe you." Lin Xiuhong glanced at her son, "But even if you can receive a certificate, then our Xixi must also have it, otherwise even if it is true, this Certificates are of little value either.”
Li Luo: "..."
Seeing Li Luo's speechless expression, Ying Chanxi, who was sitting next to Lin Xiuhong, immediately covered her mouth and snickered, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
In the end, there was really no other way, so Ying Chanxi had no choice but to take out her certificate of award from her schoolbag.
"Aunt Lin, actually I also received it." Ying Chanxi kindly explained to Li Luo, "Only 11 people in the school can receive this award for outstanding graduates, and Li Luo is already very impressive. "
"Oh, it's true." Lin Xiuhong took Ying Chanxi's certificate, looked at it carefully, and said immediately, "Then I have to stick your certificates together. "
"Just stick to mine," Li Luo complained, "This is a rare time for me."
"It's just because it's rare that I have to stick to Xixi's. Post it too!" Lin Xiuhong said, giving him a serious analysis, "Only if Xixi's certificate is posted next to it, your certificate will have enough gold content, otherwise who knows what the Pheasant Award is?"
I am riding a horse...
Li Luo was so angry that his tooth ached.
On the other hand, Ying Chanxi smiled even more happily, holding Lin Xiuhong's arm and laughing until she trembled and couldn't stop.
However, Ying Chanxi still thought about Li Luo and took out the copy of the perfect composition from her schoolbag and handed it to her uncle and aunt.
"Aunt Lin, look at this." Ying Chanxi introduced patiently, "This time Li Luo got full marks for his Chinese composition. This is the article. He wrote it so well. I didn't get it even in three years of junior high school. How many times have I received a perfect score?"
"Ouch!" Li Guohong was surprised when he heard this, "The essay still got a perfect score?"
Lin Xiuhong. Li Guohong looked serious and even read out loud sometimes, which made Li Luo feel a little embarrassed.
But seeing the happy faces of his parents, Li Luo felt very happy and satisfied at the moment.
However, the couple's academic qualifications are not high, and their appreciation level is limited. Afterwards, they can only say one sentence that the writing is good.
After finishing these conversations, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Ying Chanxi said goodbye and went home. After Li Luo sent her back to the next door, he also went to the opposite door to check the computer. He called the editor Qianzhou on QQ and asked if he was there.
The social animal editor was still online even at this time, so Li Luo returned home and found that his father had finished taking a bath and returned to the bedroom to rest. He pulled his mother, who was about to take a bath, to sit on the sofa. Down.
“Mom, do you know why my composition is so good?”
"Why?" Lin Xiuhong looked confused and curious, "Do you have any other tips for this?"
"Of course there is." Li Luo nodded repeatedly, then calmed down his expression and said seriously, "Actually, it's like this. Let me tell you a secret..."
