Chapter 543: As the Name Shows
"Don't mention it. Zhang Guilan insisted that they were selling strawberries, and they were charging fifty cents a pound."
"50 cents a pound," Ma Suyun almost dropped the strawberries in her hand, "How much is a pound of apples? Is she crazy?"
Qin Wen snorted coldly, "That's right, they are crazy. I have seen clearly that now they only care about money. My mother didn't even give me face. My mother is Qin Han's aunt. How can I ask her for money to eat a few strawberries? I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I tell others about it."
"You gave it to her if she wanted it?"
These strawberries weigh about two pounds, and they only cost one dollar?
"What can I do if I don't give it to you? Don't you really want to eat strawberries?" Qin Wen was also worried about the money. "You too, you can eat anything else but insist on eating those lousy strawberries. I have to beg for mercy. I don't even want to see their family at all."
"It's not me who wants to eat it, it's your son who wants to eat it. What can I do if he insists on eating it?" Ma Suyun stroked her belly, which had not changed yet, with a gentle look on her face. "My son is very smart. He knew that winter strawberries are the most delicious even when he was still in my belly."
When Qin Wen heard the words "his son is smart", his face was full of anticipation.
"It's just a few cents. I don't want to owe him. When my son becomes successful in the future, won't he have a chance to turn things around? Zhuangzhuang from Qin Han's family is just as his name suggests, he is a simple-minded person like Qin Han. Qin Yang's branch is even more extinct. Let's look at our family. The eldest brother's family has built the army and the construction, the second brother's family has built the industry, and in the future there will be our family..."
"Congcong," Ma Suyun continued, "I've thought about it. Our son will be named Congcong, which means smart and clever."
As the name suggests, her son must be very smart.
Qin Wen nodded, "Yes, it's Congcong and Qin Jiancong. There are only four boys in our room. If they don't please us in the future, we won't take them out to play and will harass them when there is something wrong."

As the sun sets, a howling north wind blows, and the afterglow sways through the gaps between the trees and falls on the ground.
A few leaves could not withstand the baptism of the strong wind, and finally left the branches under the heavy burden, leaving only the skinny branches stretching out in a dry posture.
A group of young men walked against the wind, even though they were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, they still had their shoulders hunched and their necks hunched.
A burst of hurried footsteps came from behind and quickly caught up with the boy pushing the bicycle in front.
"Hey, Lam Ka-tung, wait for me."
Lin Jiadong stopped and looked at Li Youmin who was chasing him.
Li Youmin stopped to catch his breath when he got close to him, and walked forward side by side with him, "Are you going back to your sister's place? Why don't you come with me to the guesthouse tonight? We can sleep in one bed. Otherwise, it will be awkward for me to stay with Teacher Tian all day."
"No, my second sister is still waiting for me at home for dinner. If I don't go back, she will be anxious," Lin Jiadong replied indifferently. After thinking for a while, he said, "There's nothing wrong with being with Teacher Tian. You can just ask him questions you don't understand. You should seize the opportunity."
"It's easy for you to say that. I don't dare to ask him. Last time I asked him a question, I almost didn't sleep for half the night. If you think it's okay, you can stay with me in the guesthouse. By the way, don't you have some questions you don't understand? It's a good opportunity to ask Teacher Tian."
"I'll go back and think about it slowly. I won't go to the teacher again tomorrow."
As they were talking, a bicycle passed by. Li Youmin pulled Lin Jiadong's sleeve, looked at the figure and asked, "Hey, how did you get to know that female classmate? Are you hiding any secrets from me? You are so mean. I have always treated you as a brother."
Lin Jiadong glanced at Hu Yaping who was walking away and said directly, "I don't know her."
Li Youmin obviously didn't believe it. "Why is she asking you questions if she doesn't know you? You're not ranked first. I've already asked around. The first place is from the No. 1 High School in the city. She ignored the first place in her school and asked you, a country boy who ranked second. It doesn't make sense."
They have been intensively training on questions these days, and today they can finally move around freely.
Li Youmin almost dropped his jaw when he saw their third-best student in the province, whom everyone avoided, running to ask Lin Jiadong questions.
You know, they have not been idle in private these days, and the most talked about topics are of course the girls in the class.
The other two are okay, I will say hello to them after getting to know them.
But this girl, who ranks third in the province, is the most beautiful and also the coldest. Others dare not approach her and privately call her an ice beauty.
It is said that the other party is from the city, has a very good family background, and his father is an official.
Lin Jiadong frowned when he heard this.
"Li Youmin, if you want others to respect you, you have to respect yourself first. You keep talking about the countryside, but in fact, others don't care whether you are from the city or the countryside. What they care about is whether your performance can rival theirs. If you can't even understand this, I really don't know what you are doing here."
this
He had wanted to say these words for a long time.
Ever since they came to the city to participate in the competition, Li Youmin always mentioned his identity in his words.
I really don't understand what's so great about this.
Their identity is students, and their primary purpose is to study.
So what if I come from the countryside? Are country people inferior to others? Will it affect his grades?
If you really think so, you should study hard and try to break out of this circle.
After Lin Jiadong finished speaking, he ignored Li Youmin and rode away on his bicycle.
Li Youmin stood there and finally curled his lips.
An arm was placed on his shoulder, and Xu Cheng chased after him, "What's going on? Did you find out? What's the relationship between your classmate and that girl?"
"No, he even gave me a lecture," Li Youmin shrugged.
"What did I teach you?"
Li Youmin almost laughed when he talked about this. "You can't guess. He taught me not to look down on myself. He said that the countryside and the city are the same. Can they be the same? Do you think they are the same? Everyone knows that the city people look down on us country people. Look at Lin Zhi, he is just from a small county town and he looks down on us farmers' children. Lin Jiadong said this because he has a brother-in-law who is an official."
Xu Cheng also smiled. These days they all have their own circles.
Lin Zhi, whom they had just met, no longer wanted to play with them.
"Your classmate is a little arrogant, but he does have the ability. I accidentally heard the teacher say today that among our students, your classmate is one of the most likely to win a place. If he wins a place in the national mathematics competition, he will really be on the same level as us. I heard that this kind of national mathematics competition can get a place in university."
"Are you serious?" Li Youmin's eyes widened.
Doesn’t that mean you’ll be a college student if you pass the exam?
