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 an unfinished expression on his face, 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.

With this in mind, 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, trying to suppress the hot heat in his chest and not letting it completely flood his brows.

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, but you don't know how to help." Lin Xiuhong patted her son's shoulder and urged, "Go get the dishes and chopsticks."

"...Yeah." Li Luo struggled to hold back his sobs. 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 dining room table in the living room.

"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's been very busy recently, and I've already passed the independent enrollment, so he didn't ask him to come back." Ying Chanxi responded in a low voice, looking completely different from the one who just pulled Li Luo's ears in the bedroom.

"Oh, yes." Li Guohong nodded, and then the hand holding the liquor was patted by Lin Xiuhong, and he hissed helplessly and said, "Just have 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 with an eyebrow raised, "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, you don't need to be too nervous. Your parents don'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 long ago.

Then Lin Xiuhong would talk about Ying Chanxi and ask him to learn from Xixi. Our family doesn't expect you to be admitted to a key provincial school like Attached No. 1 Middle School, but at least you have to go to Pugao, right?

But seeing the calm look on Li Luo's face, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong didn't dare to provoke this kid.

"I'm not nervous." Li Luo looked at his mother with a puzzled look, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Lin Xiuhong was stared at a little strangely by him 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 she still suppressed her slightly high-pitched voice, "I've already gone to the fourth place, what's the point of being pretty?"

, eat, eat, 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 drink some wine, she will be even more beautiful."

"Get out of here." Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him.

Ying Chanxi on the side also obediently picked up her chopsticks, with a smile on her face, and said from the bottom of her heart: "Aunt Lin is the prettiest. When we go shopping, others think she is my sister, and they can't even tell her age."

"Stop praising you." Lin Xiuhong waved her hands repeatedly, "Hurry up and eat."

As she said this, Lin Xiuhong couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

The family ate happily and occasionally chatted at the table, mostly with advice and encouragement.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi quietly picked up vegetables, 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 find his way back before the high school entrance examination and seems 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 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 dared 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 these 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."

"The examination room is 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.

"What's the delay in just two days?" 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 can just take the exam well.

"

"Yes." Li Guohong also nodded, "Don't worry about this and prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

"...I understand." Li Luo lowered his head and continued eating in silence.

But what his parents didn't know was Li Luo's turbulent heart at this 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.

There was a big quarrel, but 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 the two days of the high school entrance examination, she would still run back to the store to help when she was free.

Now that I have been reborn, it is just a small change. I go home early to review and have a normal dinner. My parents have 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.

His parents back then 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 and said, "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 in such a hurry."

"Yes, Xixi, eat slowly." Lin Xiuhong also said, "Li Luo, you go first."

"Oh..." Ying Chanxi blinked and picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, but the speed of eating was a little faster.

At the dinner table, when she saw Li Luo entering the bedroom, Lin Xiuhong confirmed that he could not hear the noise outside, then lowered the volume and asked Ying Chanxi quietly:

"Xixi, auntie wants to ask you something."

"Um?"

"Li Luo, do you think there is still hope for Pugao? Can you reach the score line?"

"I really couldn't say for sure before." Ying Chanxi stopped his bowl and chopsticks, thought about it for a while, and then analyzed it seriously, "As you know, Aunt Lin, only Li Luo's score in the third model exceeded last year's general score line.

.”

"The questions in the three models 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 seriously today."

"I helped him sort out all the Chinese and Mathematics mock test papers."

"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, then picked up the chopsticks and 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 wings, and then said sweetly, "Aunt Lin has taken care of me since I was a child. These little things are what I should do."

"Sigh... Li Luo, if you were even half obedient, I would be so 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.

Therefore, Ying Chanxi usually lives alone.

As the eldest 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 that 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 a bowl. He got up and cleaned up Li Luo's pile as well. After carrying it into the kitchen sink, he faced Li Luo.

Luo walked to the bedroom and said, "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." Ying Chanxi shook his 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, then chuckled and said, "You 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 him, and then laughed, "Is Li Luo worthy of me?"

Those who didn't know what she said thought that Ying Chanxi was her biological daughter and Li Luo was her son-in-law.

But after Li Guohong heard this, he remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "... Indeed."
