Chapter 50 It's all their hard-earned money
The room Xue Ning booked was very nice. It was not a small street hotel in the forties or fifties. Overall, it was clean and spacious.
After bringing the two elders here, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Li Yang and Xue Ning found an excuse to leave and let the old couple take a bath and have a good sleep.
After leaving, the two slowly walked towards No. 2 Middle School.
Li Yang asked, "Teacher Xue, you change your mind really quickly. In our hometown, if you don't give 2,000 yuan, don't expect people to change their mind."
This is the price for adopting a godson or goddaughter. If it is the price for changing one's name to marry a wife, the minimum price is 10,000.
Xue Ning said expectantly, "Aren't you going to pay me next month?"
Li Yang felt like her eyelashes were smiling.
Li Yang asked back, "How can a brother pay his sister's salary?"
"Let's discuss our own affairs."
Xue Ning didn't feel that she was at a disadvantage. Delivering meals to Li Yang was originally part of her job. After all, five thousand yuan a month was not earned for nothing.
She was lacking in family affection.
It’s free, why not want it?
When they arrived at No. 2 Middle School, they found a cool place to stay for a while, mainly to make room for the two elders so that they could rest. In fact, there was still an hour before the exam started.
Xue Ning suddenly said, "By the way, I'll treat you to dinner. What do my parents like to eat?"
“There are so many things they like.”
Li Yang can see from this incident that the parents really love their child, and they probably aren’t deceiving themselves by opening a secondary account.
It’s just that due to the great pressure of life and their own lack of talent, they dare not even think about it.
I guess he was afraid that if he had another child, he would go crazy.
Looking at their current expressions, just because Xue Ning mentioned his younger brother and they made a joke, the old couple just agreed.
All abstractions come from the thoughts deep in our bones.
"Like what?"
Xue Ning asked.
Li Yang: "As my mother said, you can eat everything except the bench legs."
"Is there really nothing to avoid?"
"Avoid bad food. But you've already spent a lot of money, so let my parents pay for dinner."
Xue Ning: "Why not you?"
Li Yang was helpless: "Sister, I am a student. Have you ever seen a student treat his parents to a meal? Isn't my money theirs?"
After a while, Li Yang suddenly thought of something, took out his mobile phone and sent a voice message to his mother.
"Mom, I have to go to school after the exam today. I think I'll be back at 7 o'clock. You guys sleep a little longer. Then my sister and I will come to see you."
He forgot to tell them before he left, fearing that his parents would get up at five o'clock and start getting busy.
They catch the 11 o'clock train at night and have to go to the construction site to work directly at 10 o'clock the next morning.
This was also the last time. After all, he had just finished the college entrance examination, and Li Yang still did not have enough evidence to convince his parents.
Even if he says he did well in the exam, someone has to believe it.
It will be almost done in a dozen days.
Xue Ning said at the side: "I'm fine, I need to go back to school, what are you going to do after the exam?"
"Of course I'm packing my things. I have to move out of the dormitory tomorrow and I have to find a place to live."
Xue Ning smiled and said, "Would you consider living with me?"
"Not considering it. If you are under 18, you need to be accompanied by your parents."
Xue Ning: “???”
…
Start queuing at 2:40.
Enter the examination room at 2:55.
At three o'clock, the last English test of the college entrance examination officially began.
For Li Yang, the college entrance examination was over after filling in his personal information.
No surprises.
It ended at 5:30, he left the examination room, and took a minibus back to No. 1 Middle School with Xue Ning.
I sent a voice message to my mother in the middle of the conversation, but received no reply, which means that they were indeed asleep.
Li Yang returned to the dormitory, but it was empty.
It goes without saying that those guys in the dormitory must have gone to the Internet cafe to have fun.
They are all bad at cooking and love to play.
He is not, he is not bad and he loves to have fun.
"Li Yang, let's compare answers."
Jiang Banxia's message was sent over as soon as possible.
Li Yang replied: "You can estimate the score tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Then shall we go out and play?"
"My parents are back. I'm going to have dinner with them tonight."
"Oh, that's right. How about we go to school together tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid Liu Dayou will beat me up. Of course, I might beat him up, too."
"After we finish estimating the scores this morning, can we have lunch together?"
…
"Honey, the exam is over."
"Hubby, you've worked hard. I'll treat you to dinner tonight, okay?"
"I'm wearing a beautiful dress today..."
…
"Friend Li, it would be unreasonable if you don't play basketball with me today!"
"Come quickly, the first venue south of No. 1 Middle School!"
…
The college entrance examination is over, and many things that were previously restricted burst out at this moment.
But Li Yang rejected them all with just one reason.
Mom and Dad are back.
He didn't have much to pack, just some textbooks and a few clothes.
He didn't have any washbasin, water bottle or anything like that.
There is only one basin in the entire dormitory, and whoever wants to take a shower can use it.
In the middle of winter, I just shower with cold water without frowning.
Around seven o'clock, Li Yang called Xue Ning and they went to the hotel together.
Li Likun and Wang Cuiping had already gotten up, and Li Yang discovered that they had even gone out to buy a new set of clothes.
Xue Ning was shocked.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we were so shocked that we were speechless.
We went directly to a very good restaurant in the county town and even booked a private room.
"Godfather, Godmother, are there any other guests tonight?"
Xue Ning asked, feeling that it was a bit too grand.
Before Wang Cuiping opened her mouth, Li Yang said, "Aren't you the most important? According to our family's custom, we must set up a table when we adopt a goddaughter. If it weren't for the lack of time, we would definitely go home and hire a special chef to cook for dozens of tables. But it doesn't matter, we can do it together when I get into college, right... Mom..."
Wang Cuiping rolled her eyes and said, "There's no hope for you to get into a good university. It's better to expect Ningning to bring out a student from Peking University or Tsinghua University."
"hehe……"
Xue Ning never thought that the Li family would attach so much importance to her.
I went out of my way to buy clothes, book a private room, and order a large table of food that four people couldn't finish even if they died of exhaustion.
Even though Li Likun and Li Yang were both big eaters, they only managed to finish half of the nearly twenty dishes.
Even at the end, Wang Cuiping thoughtfully gave her a red envelope.
Just by the feel of it, you can tell there's a lot of money in it.
At that moment, her eyes were a little wet.
It's obviously just a joke...
Who would take her joke seriously?
It turns out, some people do.
"Ningning, godmother still has some work to do here, so we have to go to the train station soon. I wanted to buy you two sets of clothes, but I don't know what size you wear, so I'll give you some money first and you can buy them yourself. When we return to our hometown during the Chinese New Year, we'll invite relatives and friends to come over and give you a serious wedding."
It was already past nine o'clock, and for the 11 o'clock train, it was time to say goodbye.
Wang Cuiping held Xue Ning's hand and expressed her emotions for a while.
Li Yang didn't feel anything when he saw it from the side, but Xue Ning's tears immediately fell.
Li Yang couldn't bear to watch the sentimental scene and went straight outside.
Coincidentally, Li Likun couldn't stand it either.
Li Likun said while smoking a cigarette: "It would have been fine if I had just given the money, I don't know why you have to talk so much..."
Li Yang chuckled and asked, "Dad, how much did you give? Is there any for me?"
"You? If you can get into a second-tier university, I'll give you all the money my family has! Just be good and prepare to repeat your studies. Also... stop wandering around in the county. We're not home, so you have to listen to your sister from now on."
"So I have to do whatever she tells me to do."
"What else?"
About twenty minutes later, Li Likun had smoked three cigarettes in a row before Xue Ning came out holding Wang Cuiping's hand, her eyes still a little red.
I went to the hotel to pick up my luggage, and even took off my new clothes for Li Yang to take back home. Then I took a taxi to the train station.
Li Yang and Xue Ning went hand in hand to see the two elders off to the station.
After the two elders left, Li Yang said, "Teacher Xue, how much red envelope did my mother give? Shall we divide it?"
"No matter what, they are all mine!"
"Hey, that's my parents' hard-earned money, and you just swindled it away by calling them godfather and godmother..."
"But I heard from some teachers that someone was talking nonsense in the office, saying that it was easy for his parents to make money..."
"I just can't stand Liu Dayou's pretentiousness!"
The next second, Xue Ning took out a room card.
I kept muttering, "My parents are gone now, the room can't be wasted, it's all their hard-earned money..."
