Chapter 245 Senior’s Gift
In addition to Yingchan Creek, the hometown of Jin Yuting and Zhao Rongjun is also here in Lijia Village.
Although most of our parents have moved to the city, most of the grandparents of the older generation still stay in the village.
Especially after the demolition, the living environment has improved a lot, and the elderly have no intention of moving to the city and still like to stay here.
So during the Chinese New Year, batches of small families came back with their families to celebrate the New Year.
Jin Yuting was brought back by her parents right after winter vacation, while Zhao Rongjun just arrived yesterday.
Both of them sent private messages to Ying Chanxi and Li Luo on QQ. After learning that they were back today, they came here to look for them after lunch.
"Xixi." On the sofa in the living room on the second floor, Jin Yuting saw Ying Chanxi coming downstairs and immediately stood up to say hello.
But probably because they were not in the same class in high school, the relationship between the two was quite unfamiliar, far less familiar than in junior high school.
Thinking again of today’s monitor, Li Luo, who ranks first in the class and 17th in the school. He is no longer the Wu Xia Ameng he used to be.
In the past, Jin Yuting could speak sarcastically because Li Luo had poor grades and would never be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the future.
Now in front of Li Luo, he has become quiet and well-behaved, and does not dare to say anything against Li Luo.
If Jin Yuting thought that Li Luo was not worthy of Ying Chanxi in the past, now when she saw the two walking down the stairs together, she felt that they were a good match.
Xu Yinghuan even told her that Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng were good to drink, but in Jin Yuting's opinion, how could Ying Chanxi and Li Luo be so good to drink?
They are childhood sweethearts, okay?
I don’t know when it started. Jin Yuting has changed from the original firm opposition to the Qingmei Party today.
Li Luo was completely unaware of this.
Of course, he wouldn't let the little girl look down on him just because they were just children, and he didn't bother to care about it.
Now that he is a classmate and a fellow villager, Li Luo will not embarrass others.
In comparison, Zhao Rongjun's side is much simpler.
The good brother didn't see anything between Li Luo and other girls at all, but simply thought that they were all very good friends.
At most, I feel that Ying Chanxi and the others are relatively close to Li Luo.
After hearing that Li Luo was back, he came to the door. When he saw Li Luo coming downstairs, he asked, "Do you want to play basketball?"
"Okay, now?"
"Not now." Zhao Rongjun shook his head, "I just passed by the basketball court in the village, and my spot was already taken."
"Then you still ask me." Li Luobai said. He glanced at it, then thought about it, and said, "Let's go buy some firecrackers and let's go to the fish pond."
As he said that, Li Luo called on a few people to follow him.
At this time, Lin Xiuhong had just finished cutting the fruit and came out of the kitchen. When she saw Li Luo and the others running out, she suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey! Do you want to eat the fruit?"
Li Luo listened. Hearing my mother's shout, I trotted back and picked up the plate with a smile: "We'll take it with us to eat."
"Be careful, don't break the plate."
"Don't worry." Li Luo ran downstairs, stuffed the plate into Zhao Rongjun's arms, then picked up a grape on it and stuffed it into Ying Chanxi's mouth, "Here, my mother said not to break it. Be careful."
"Why don't you take it yourself?" Zhao Rongjun's face darkened and he didn't know where to put the plate.
“Xixi and I are the ones who produce our fruits. Jin Yuting is a girl, so if you don’t take it, who will get it?”
Zhao Rongjun: “…”
< br>Bewildered by Li Luo's absurd reasoning, Zhao Rongjun couldn't find a reason to refute for a while. Li Luo was already walking towards the convenience store opposite.
"Hello, Third Grandpa!" Li Luo walked into the convenience store and saw the Third Grandpa who sold them the house in Bihailanting, and greeted him with a smile.
"Hey, Li Luo." The third grandfather responded with a smile, "Young man is promising. He ranked 17th in the school in the final exam. He is better than your cousin. You can take whatever you want."
"I'm just going to get some firecrackers to play with." Li Luo politely took a few boxes of crackers and crackers from the cabinet next to him, along with a lighter, and asked curiously before leaving, " How does Third Grandpa know that I got 17th in the final exam? "
"Your mother said that." Third Grandpa said, stroking his beard, "Come to my place to buy soy sauce and chat with your cousin at noon. Let’s talk about it.”
“She didn’t say anything else, right?” Li Luo was a little more alert and asked more.
"What else can I say?"
"That's okay." Li Luo smiled, thanked him, and called Echan Xi and the others to go to the fish pond together.
He was also worried that his loudmouthed mother would leak the news about his novel writing.
It’s okay if only my relatives know about it.
But if relatives find out about it and the gossip spreads among the neighbors, and accidentally reaches the ears of Jin Yuting or Zhao Rongjun, how can Li Luo survive?
Fortunately, my mother still spoke in a measured manner and did not show off.
On the other hand, on the Ying Chan River side, Li Luo quietly leaned into her ear and whispered: "I am writing a novel, please don't mess with it in front of Jin Yuting and the others. Say it, don’t forget it.”
“I know.” Ying Chanxi rolled her eyes at him, “I’m not that stupid.”
Jin Yuting looked at them whispering. He looked like he was staring at it intently.
Only Zhao Rongjun followed behind with a plate and said speechlessly: "Why are we going to the fish pond?"
"Go fry the fish."
Li Luo ate another grape, and kindly took one for Zhao Rongjun.
The fish pond he was talking about was a small tributary of the Yin River in the north of the village. After it converged to the north of the village, it formed a small fish pond.
After lunch, Li Guohong and others went fishing together to the fish pond. As a result, after sitting on the shore for less than an hour, I was startled by the sudden explosion of a cannon in my ears.
Looking around, I saw four mischievous figures.
It was his good son who took the lead.
“You kid is going to die?” Li Guohong shouted angrily, “Scared all my fish away!”
“I didn’t throw it!” Li Luo was not far away He shouted, "Xixi threw it all!"
"I didn't!" Ying Chanxi quickly denied it and chased Li Luo to beat him.
Li Luo immediately threw the cannon at Ying Chanxi's feet. Ying Chanxi was so frightened that he quickly backed away and glared at Li Luo angrily.
After a while, Li Luo took the plate away from Zhao Rongjun, walked to the shore, and handed it to Ying Zhicheng first: "Uncle Ying, eat the fruit."
< br>"Oh, thank you." Ying Zhicheng stared at the water attentively. He came to his senses after Li Luo called out and reached out to pick up a grape.
Then Li Luo handed the plate to his uncle Chen Hailin, and finally his father Li Guohong.
After dividing the grapes in this way, and adding Li Luo and the others to eat by themselves, they soon only had three or two grapes left on the plate.
At this time, Li Luo threw the plate at his father's feet, and then said: "Mom washed it specially for you. Dad, remember to take the plate back after you finish eating."
"Oh, I got it." Li Guohong responded subconsciously. After he lowered his head and looked at the few grapes left on the plate, he reacted belatedly, "You brat! You've almost finished eating." Just throw it to me!”
At this time, Li Luo had already run away, leading Zhao Rongjun and the others back to the village, wandering through the narrow streets and alleys, playing with firecrackers from time to time, and the happy time passed quietly. passage.
As meal time approached, the four of them parted ways at the intersection.
When leaving, Jin Yuting was a little downcast: "It's so annoying, I have to be nagged again when I go home."
"What's wrong?" Ying Chanxi asked with concern.
“It’s not like I didn’t do well in the final exam.” Jin Yuting sighed, “In our village, there are only six or seven people in our village who were admitted to the No. 1 Middle School this year. In addition to the four of us, there is also Wei Chun, who is in the same class. "
"Both you and the other two, your final grades are much better than mine."
"My mother talks about me every day. If I had known this, I might as well have gone. As for the second high school student, I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail."
"Are you sure?" Li Luo chuckled, "Wouldn't you lose me as a good monitor?"
Jin Yuting almost laughed at him when she heard this, but then she thought about it and sighed again.
In every sense, Li Luo is indeed a good monitor.
But in the end it was just a tool used by her mother to compare herself with her.
"Li Luo, you better stop talking." Jin Yuting pursed her lips, "Forget it about Xixi and Zhao Rongjun. They are students in key classes, so they are better off."
< br>"But you were in the same class as me, and you were elected class president, and you made rapid progress, ranking 17th in the school."
"After my mother found out, she asked me all day long why I didn't learn more from you. We are all students in the parallel class. Why can you do it and I can't?"
"I was bored to death. . ”
Li Luo can’t do anything about it. After all, his mother also has one at home.
It's just that he has the Memory Palace to help him, and his current results have basically stopped his mother's nagging, so he is much better than Jin Yuting.
"I can only say that I let Auntie get used to it more." Li Luo sighed, "After all, every time she takes an exam in the future, she will be able to see my name among the top 40 in the school. Maybe one day she will be able to be in the top 40. He saw me for the first time."
"Heh." Ying Chanxi smiled, "You have the ability to try it."
Zhao Rongjun also shook his head when he heard this. I believe you even if you say you can get the second place in the grade, but forget about the first place. I think there is no chance in this life. "
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!" Li Luo Yizheng! She said rhetorically, "Ying Chanxi said before that if I get first in grade, she will unconditionally promise me something."
"I keep my word." Ying Chanxi snorted. He said, "If you have the ability, just try to be the first."
The four of them chatted for a while, and then finally parted ways and went home.
When Li Luo and Ying Chanxi returned home, Chen Hailin was already cooking in the kitchen.
Sitting down on the sofa, Li Luo took out his cell phone and took a look at it, and saw that his senior sister had sent him a QQ message.
[Xu Youyu]: Zhusheng told me that we will go to your place to play in the fourth year of junior high school?
[Li Luo]: Yes.
[Xu Youyu]: According to her, she still wants to stay at your place for a few days. Do you have any extra room in your house?
[Li Luo]: Yes, you can just come, but you have to tell your family and don’t come secretly like the last symposium.
[Xu Youyu]: You don’t need to remind me, but speaking of which, does Xixi already know that you write novels? I think I saw her post.
[Li Luo]: If you are talking about the "Xixibuhehe"... then it is indeed her.
[Xu Youyu]: Haha~ Xixi is so cute, just like Dongdong. I saw her and Zhusheng commenting on each other there, it was so funny.
[Li Luo]: You are not as naive as them, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
[Xu Youyu]: I'm not that stupid. What if they notice me and they might guess who I am? You must keep a low profile.
[Xu Youyu]: The same goes for you, please don’t expose my vest!
[Li Luo]: Don’t worry, I keep my mouth shut.
[Xu Youyu]: That’s good. I’ve prepared a New Year’s Eve gift for you. Remember to accept it then.
[Li Luo]: Huh? What gift?
[Xu Youyu]: Keep it secret for now, we will know when the time comes.
