The temperature has been rising day by day, and typhoon season has arrived.
Li Chunmei leaned against the shoe cabinet in the entryway, watching her daughter change her shoes, and instructed her, "A typhoon may be coming in the next couple of days, and we don't know where it will make landfall. You and Mengmeng should be careful when you go to class. If it's windy and rainy, don't skateboard. Take the bus back."
"Okay, Mom."
"And don't forget to go to your uncle's house for a celebration dinner today."
"Okay. Mom, I'm going now. Mengmeng is already waiting for me downstairs."
Now, whenever Li Chunmei puts Xia Minmin and Li Qing together, she thinks of the day the college entrance exam ended. She really doesn't know how that little devil came up with such a despicable idea.
During a break in tennis class, Tang Meng overheard Xia Minmin saying she was going to Li Qing's house for dinner that evening.
"What! Are you going to your cousin's house for dinner today? Aren't you afraid she'll beat you up?"
Just then, Lu Xi ran over and asked, "What are you two talking about?"
Tang Meng looked at Lu Xi and said, "Didn't you say last time that you saw me and her on Shenzhen TV?"
Lu Xi suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now, it's the time when her cousin took the college entrance exam."
"It's that cousin of mine. Didn't she just get her college entrance exam results? They're going to have a celebration party today, and I'm worried her cousin will beat her up."
"It shouldn't be that bad! If I wanted to beat her up, I would have done so that night."
"His cousin hadn't seen the news that night. Ever since the news went viral, my parents' friends all know that I helped her do something immoral."
"Not to mention that there are so many students at my cousin's school, they probably all know about it."
Lu Xi recalled the scene, "He really deserved to be beaten up. If it were me, I probably would never show my face in front of my high school classmates again, it was too embarrassing!"
"Right!"
Tang Meng and Lu Xi's back-and-forth banter captivated Xia Minmin.
Lu Xi asked, "Hey, Xia Minmin, how did your cousin do on her exam?"
"That's great, getting a score of 985 is no problem."
Lu Xi said, "How did she fill out her college application before the exam? My neighbor has an older brother who didn't fill out his application well before the exam, wasting a lot of points. He could have gone to a 211 university, but he only went to a second-tier university."
Tang Meng said, "This practice of filling out college application forms in advance is unreasonable. If you perform exceptionally well in the college entrance examination, then your score will be wasted."
Xia Minmin said, "There should be reforms to our college entrance examination, otherwise how many people will encounter this kind of thing if things continue like this?"
The three girls looked at each other and sighed.
Before school ended, Lu Xi and Lu said to Xia Minmin with heavy expressions, "We will protect you, Amen."
Xia Minmin raised her hand, pretending to hit the two siblings.
What's meant to happen will happen. When Xia Minmin's family arrived at the restaurant, Li Zhonghua's family, except for Li Xiaoxiao, all came.
When Li Chunmei saw Li Zhonghua and Sun Erni, she said, "Brother and sister-in-law, congratulations!"
Congratulations!
Sun Erni said, "Chunmei, Jianguo, Xiaomin, you're here. Please sit down. My sister and her husband will probably be here for a while."
Li Chunmei handed the prepared red envelope to Li Qing, saying, "Xiao Qing, this is a small token of our appreciation from your uncle and me. Congratulations on your academic success."
"Thank you, Second Aunt and Second Uncle." Li Qing stood up and accepted the red envelope.
Xia Minmin greeted Li Qing with a smile, "Sister Qing, congratulations! See, I didn't write it wrong on my banner, did I? 985!"
Li Qing gritted her teeth and said, "Adults don't hold grudges against petty people, and we won't stoop to your level. Just you wait, you haven't even taken the college entrance exam yet."
"I'm not afraid. I'm thick-skinned, so I can do whatever I want."
Helpless, Li Qing held Grandma Xia's hand and said, "Grandma, look at her."
Grandma Xia waved her hand, "I don't care about what happens between you two sisters."
thump thump thump…
"I guess my little sister and her husband have arrived."
Li Zhonghua got up and opened the door.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhonghua!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Xia Xiaomei took out a red envelope and handed it to Li Qing, saying, "Xiao Qing, congratulations, this is a token of our appreciation."
Once everyone had arrived, Li Zhonghua called the waiter to serve the dishes.
Li Chunmei joked, "Sister-in-law, you've really splurgeed today! Coming to such an expensive place!"
Sun Erni didn't shy away from her sister-in-law's teasing at all, "Yes, it's a huge financial loss, but aren't we happy? Back in our hometown, we estimated that Xiao Qing could only get into a second-tier university at most, but we didn't expect her to get into a 985 university this time."
Xia Xiaomei asked, "Do you know which school Xiaoqing was accepted into now?"
Li Qing said, "I don't know, we'll only know when the notification arrives."
Xia Jianguo: "Brother and sister-in-law, are you going to have a banquet when you go back to your hometown this time?"
Li Zhonghua said, "We don't want to set up a stall, but my parents do! We're still hesitating."
Xia Jianguo said, "Around when? Chunmei and I originally planned to take advantage of your trip back to Xiaomin's hometown to visit the small commodity market in the neighboring province."
Li Zhonghua said, "This meal is already a celebration. You can go wherever you want. Don't go back to your hometown because of the banquet. We don't mind."
At this moment, Xia Minmin suddenly raised her glass and stood up, before she could say anything.
Li Qing stood up in a panic, "Thank you for your blessing, Xiaomin!"
The whole table burst into laughter.
"Xiaomin, look how scared you've made your cousin."
"Xiaomin, stop saying such shocking things."
"Xiao Qing is probably afraid that Xiao Min will tease her again."
Xia Minmin chuckled and said, "Sister Qing, wasn't the college entrance exam a wonderful memory? When you're 80 and reminiscing about it with your grandchildren, you'll feel happy too. Life would be so boring if there weren't any interesting things. You should thank me. We should look at things from a developmental perspective and not worry about immediate gains and losses."
