Chapter 18 Taking home the certificate
A graduation dinner started at around 5pm and ended at 8pm.
Obviously what he drank was not wine, but the sadness caused by parting was more intoxicating than wine.
After nightfall, everyone said goodbye at the door of Jiangnan Restaurant.
There were two female classmates who were relatively sentimental. Because they lived in the urban area, they might not have attended high school in the Yinjiang District. They hugged their best friends and burst into tears.
For those whose families 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 bloated belly while walking on the road, "It feels like half of my stomach is filled with juice."
During the first half of the class, everyone went to the teacher to toast at the dinner table.
After letting go in the second half of the game, the little kids imitated adults one by one, toasting each other and expressing their feelings to each other. If they don't drink, they look down on their buddies.
Just bring the cultural dregs to the wine table.
It seems like this is the only way to show your growth.
And during this process, three boys came to Ying Chanxi to confess their love towards the end.
One from the same class in Class 5 and two from Class 6 next door usually don't show off, but when it came time to say goodbye completely after graduation, they finally mustered up the courage and decided to burn this relationship into flames.
Why do you say that...because no one went there with the idea that Ying Chanxi would agree.
Rather than saying it is a confession, it is better to say it is an explanation for the youthful throbbing of my three years in junior high school.
Including those boys who haven't confessed their feelings, who hasn't had some fantasies about Bai Yueguang like Chanxi?
Just Ying Chanxi's polite smile of thanks and polite rejection sent such fantasies into the grave of beautiful youth.
The other boys looked envious as they watched Li Luo helping Ying Chanxi pick up his schoolbag so naturally.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts and neighbors, and many people in the class knew that.
It's just that the two of them have never expressed anything, and they are as good friends as they have been 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 unaware of the blessings in his life, burped and opened the zipper of Ying Chanxi's school bag. He checked his certificate and made sure that it was not damaged or wrinkled, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you have to be so careful?" Ying Chanxi on the side saw his useless look and couldn't help laughing, "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.
At most, when you get to high school, you can use this trick to fool your class teacher and classmates when school starts, and 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 have been studying for more than ten years, and 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: "Then can I hang this on your wall?"
"Why are you hanging your certificate at my house?" Li Luo said with a speechless face, "Do you have to show off in front of me?"
"No." Ying Chanxi blinked and said, "I have so many certificates that I can't hang them at home. I'll borrow them on your wall."
"...Ying Chanxi, don't pretend to be so blunt in the future, it's a bit annoying."
"Then I won't ask you anymore. I'll go back and ask my uncle and aunt."
"Then I'm begging you. Please wait until I take out the certificate first and show it to my parents."
"You begged me so much, so I had no choice but to reluctantly agree."
The two of them bickered and chatted along the way, and soon they chatted with all their classmates.
When they came back to their senses, there were no other people around them, only the two walking side by side towards home.
…
At 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, No. 1 High School is indeed stable."
"Everywhere, it's not that exaggerated. It's all up to that kid himself."
"Yes, that must be done. Didn't I call you?"
"It's the weekend next week. Are you two free?"
"Okay, okay, then it's settled."
From the time she returned home after the breakfast shop closed in the evening, until now, Lin Xiuhong had made more than ten phone calls.
Nowadays, as long as they are relatively close relatives, they all know that Li Luo, the son of the Xiuhong family, scored 555 points in this year's high school entrance examination and is sure to be admitted to the No. 1 High 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 and insisted on fighting alone.
It took more than two hours to call all the relatives with whom I had a better relationship.
Keeping the mouth open for two hours would make a normal person's mouth dry.
But Lin Xiuhong felt refreshed and refreshed at this time. She hadn't been so energetic for a long time, as if her whole 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. It can be cheaper if we have our own people."
"Okay, let's settle it first." Li Guohong nodded, "Is your uncle also here?"
"I'm here," Lin Xiuhong said, "Aren't you going to talk to them about the house? I just invited them to have a meal. Let's talk in detail at the dinner table."
"Yeah." Li Guohong thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and then said, "What about Wei Dongrong..."
"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 we are sure that we can buy it, we can refuse it 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?"
As he said this, Li Guohong felt Lin Xiuhong move towards him.
The next second, he received a slap on his face.
"No...what are you doing?" Li Guohong covered half of his face and looked at his wife in surprise.
"Didn't you say it was like a dream?" Lin Xiuhong chuckled, "Does it hurt? Pain means it's not a dream."
"Thank you so much."
The old couple were chatting at home, when the sound of keys sounded at the door.
The next second, Li Luo opened the door and walked in.
Also followed by Yingchan River.
"Dad, Mom, your pride is back!" Li Luo walked into the house, put on his slippers, 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 due to 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 obediently next to Lin Xiuhong, glanced at Li Luo, and after seeing the hint in his eyes, she had no choice but to open her schoolbag, pick out a certificate from it, and hand it to her 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... in the class of 2014?"
"What kind of award is this?" Lin Xiuhong asked curiously, "Is it given by the school? Or did he buy it from a small shop?"
"No...Mom, your doubts are very heartbreaking." Li Luo said with an unconvinced look, "Of course this was given by the school! I went on stage to receive the award during the graduation ceremony today.
It’s over! I’ll ask Teacher Zhang to get the award-winning photo some other day.”
"Of course I am willing to believe you." Lin Xiuhong glanced at her son, "But even if you can receive a certificate, we Xixi must also have it, otherwise even if it is true, this certificate will not have much gold content.
.”
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."
"It's better to just stick to mine." Li Luo complained, "This is a rare opportunity for me."
"It's just because it's so rare that I have to put Xixi's certificate on it too!" Lin Xiuhong said, analyzing him seriously, "Only when Xixi's certificate is posted next to it, your certificate will have enough gold content, otherwise
Who knows what the Pheasant Prize is?”
I ride a horse...
Li Luo was so angry that his tooth hurt.
On the other hand, Ying Chanxi smiled even more happily. She hugged Lin Xiuhong's arm and laughed 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. It was so well written. I didn't get full marks a few times in the three years of junior high school.
"
"Ouch!" When Li Guohong heard this, he was immediately surprised and said, "The essay also got full marks? Then I have to take a closer look."
Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong looked serious, and sometimes even read out loud, which made Li Luo feel a little embarrassed.
But seeing the happy faces of his parents, Li Luo felt so happy at the moment, and felt very satisfied in his heart.
However, the couple's academic qualifications are not high, and their appreciation level is limited. Afterwards, they can only say one sentence about how well written they are.
By the time we finished talking about this, 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 typed 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 went back to the bedroom to rest. He pulled his mother, who was about to take a bath, to sit on the sofa.
"Mom, do you know why my composition is so good?"
"Why?" Lin Xiuhong looked puzzled 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..."
