Chapter 386 A beautiful family relationship starts from a bad beginning [asking for monthly tickets]
Upon hearing this, Wu Min frowned, suddenly stood up and walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and patrolled her territory like a lioness!
I haven't been home for more than a month, but there are still a lot of extra things in the refrigerator.
No matter how Wu Min looks at it now...she feels like these all look like tributes.
"It feels... eerie..." Wu Min shuddered and frowned.
Lin Li: “?”
No, Sister Min.
If the refrigerator is not dark after opening, then the cooling effect is very poor.
"Mom, do you need me to go to the boys and girls rush forward and bring you a new refrigerator?"
"Which ones were stolen?" Wu Min asked.
There is no way. The fact that Lin Li stole tribute is too credible. "Lin Li" and "stealing tribute" are simply a match made in heaven.
Lin Li smiled and sighed, then changed into slippers: "Sister Min, your words are really hurtful."
"It was actually a funeral supplies store holding an event, giving out paper money for free. I thought it would be a waste if I didn't take it, so I just took some back."
Lin Li made up an excuse casually, because he knew Wu Min wouldn't delve into it.
Of course, this paper money was left behind yesterday to complete the funeral mission. Since it did not involve the extraordinary and Lin Li did not expect Wu Min to come back tonight, he did not pack it up very carefully.
"A funeral supplies store is holding an event? Giving away paper money for free? Is this true?" Wu Min asked in surprise.
Giving away paper money for free, is this an activity that humans can think of?
Today is not Qingming Festival.
"Of course it's true, and sending paper money is just one of the insignificant activities. The boss also said that as long as customers come to the store to check in with their own death certificate, they can also get a shroud for free, and if they buy a coffin, they can get a second coffin at half the price."
Lin Li nodded immediately and emphasized.
Wu Min: “…”
Wu Min sighed.
If such an activity really happened and customers really went to collect funeral clothes, the boss would be unhappy.
But Wu Min also knew that this activity was definitely made up by Lin Li, and this kid was not speaking human language again.
As for why Wu Min was so confident, it was because Lin Li had experienced this before.
When I was in elementary school, the school required every student to do good deeds during the summer vacation and record them.
Lin Li's amazing wisdom made him decide to use his own pocket money to give away basic living supplies such as rice, flour and oil for free to all the elderly people over 90 years old in Nansang.
There is only one small requirement, which is that the parents of these elderly people need to sign before they can receive it.
Who can understand the sense of redemption Wu Min felt when he heard this request?
From the first reaction of "Time flies so fast, Lin Li has grown up in the blink of an eye and has reached the age of being sensible", it soon came to the next reaction of "Time flies so fast, Lin Li has grown old in the blink of an eye and has reached the age of being dead".
We can only say that Lin Li’s starting point was good, but it is unlikely that Lin Li’s starting point was good.
"Alright, alright," Wu Min closed the refrigerator door again and did not continue to ask questions. After all, she was worried that Lin Li would say something more shocking. She just shook her head:
"But, Mom has told you many times not to accept money from unknown sources, and don't even handle it.
Just throw this paper money away, and don’t burn it for your father, or he will be caught by the underworld for participating in money laundering... With a child like you in the human world, he doesn’t have much merit to begin with, and he can’t even get bail..."
Listening to Wu Min's mumbling, Lin Li fell silent, and then felt relieved.
Perhaps his amazing wisdom is not entirely due to his talent; Wu Min’s genes also play an important role.
"Got it, Mom." Lin Li put his shoes away and said with a smile.
"Are you hungry? Mom will make you some midnight snack."
“Somewhat.”
"What do you want to eat?"
Lin Li: "Beef Wellington should be medium rare, with the puff pastry freshly baked until golden and crispy, and the fillet inside should be thickly cut, and drizzled with port wine sauce. Oh, and the side dishes should be truffle mashed potatoes and asparagus tips. Remember to mix some shredded Parmesan cheese in the mashed potatoes."
Wu Min: “?”
"Make me another simple bowl of soup. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is fine, right? The soup stock must be made from South African abalone, Hokkaido scallops, Jinhua ham and old hen. If I drink anything else, I'll cough."
Seeing Wu Min didn't say anything, Lin Li obviously felt that he had ordered too little, so he continued:
"I also want to eat king crab. How about giving me a leg..."
Wu Min sneered: "Egg fried noodles, do you want to eat it? If not, go take a shower and go to bed."
Lin Li: “Eat.”
Gourmets all know that real delicacies are often found in inconspicuous small shops on street corners, or in ordinary people's homes. As for those Michelin restaurants with expensive ingredients... Lin Li's evaluation is, haha.
Damn, Lin Li has never eaten it, how can he evaluate it?
Those who haven’t eaten it will all say it’s not delicious!
So, Yingbao, it’s not delicious!
…
Friday afternoon.
"Bufan, are you going home this week?"
"How dare you ask me this question!" Bai Bufan, who had just arrived at the classroom from the dormitory, grabbed Lin Li's collar and asked angrily:
"I can't even imagine how much Old Jiantou will target me later. Why would I go back home? From today on, school is my real home!"
"Look, you're anxious again." Lin Li grinned, looking like he really wanted a beating.
"Why are you asking this? Have you made plans for this weekend?" Bai Bufan let go of his hand and asked.
"I guess so. Qu Wanqiu should also stay in school this week. She asked her family to bring her a cell phone, and then they plan to go shopping in the pedestrian street tomorrow afternoon." Lin Li nodded.
"Walking on the pedestrian street? I don't really want to go. If you want me to go, you have to call me dad twice, otherwise forget it." Bai Bufan spoke immediately.
Walking on a pedestrian street and going to a market are completely different concepts. The former is indeed unattractive to Bai Bufan.
It’s not like he hasn’t gone shopping with his mom before. The only things that attracted Bai Bufan were the chairs in the clothing store.
Therefore, Bai Bufan would definitely reject such invitations from others immediately, but after all, "three people and one dog" are different, and there is still a bond between them. So if Lin Li is willing to call him dad, Bai Bufan is indeed willing to risk his life to accompany his son.
"I don't plan to go either," but Lin Li also shook his head. "Girls have their own pace, and they mainly shop for jewelry and women's clothing. If they take us shopping for an entire afternoon, we'll both lose."
"Let's have dinner with them then, and maybe go to the board game store to play a script-killing game or something like that? The details haven't been confirmed yet, so we can chat in the group later. I'll let you make some time first."
"Okay, that's no problem." Bai Bufan nodded.
If you want to play a script-killing game, you have to prepare some onions later.
When the time comes, the owner of the script-killing shop will squeeze onions into his eyes, then kneel on the ground and cry loudly.
The DM and players present will definitely exclaim - Wo Ri is a master player!
Koukou walked up to the podium again in her low-heeled shoes, causing a pause in the conversation between the two.
"A little nervous." Lin Li sat upright.
"What do you mean?" Bai Bufan looked curiously at Lin Li who suddenly went crazy.
"I proposed to Koukou today. She said she wanted to meet my parents to have a good chat about this. Obviously, I've already approved her, but I don't know what my family thinks." Lin Li said shyly.
"Idiot," Bai Bufan raised his middle finger and cursed with a smile, then stroked his chin, looked at Koukou for a while, then shook his head and patted Lin Li on the shoulder:
"Lin Li, your father says that you two are not suitable for each other."
Before Lin Li could refute, Bai Bufan changed the subject: "Because two people are too unstable, a triangle is stable, so Dad hopes you can find another one, and a three-person marriage is more appropriate."
Lin Li: “?”
Is this what it means, “You two are not suitable for each other”?
So Lin Li added: "I also have Yingbao."
Bai Bufan slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! Three of us are suitable! I agree to this marriage!"
"Thank you, Dad!"
"You're welcome, son!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Bufan, stand at the back and go to class." Kukou's cold voice came through the little bee, sounding even colder.
But it was a fixed ending, so Bai Bufan nodded quickly and naturally and stood in the back row.
But he still looked at Lin Li with some regret.
This class will be separated by life and death again.
KuKu is very satisfied.
Ever since she tasted the sweetness of separating Lin Li and Bai Bufan, Koukou has been enjoying it.
Of these two people, one must be behind and the other in position.
So when Koukou is in a good mood, he will find a way to get Bai Bufan to stand at the back during class.
When she was in a bad mood, she would angrily try to make Bai Bufan stand at the back during class.
——Letting Lin Li stand at the back during class would completely destroy his chance of sleeping, which was not what Koukou wanted, so he would avoid it.
…
"Finally the get out of class is over. It's still too difficult to act like a normal human being."
"agree."
Lin Li and Bai Bufan cleaned up their desks and tabletops and sighed at the same time.
There were only two classes on Friday afternoon, and the parent-teacher meeting started around the third period. Therefore, halfway through the second math class, quite a few parents had already appeared in the corridor outside the window, looking at the situation in the classroom from above the windows that were not covered with privacy film.
In order to prevent these parents from worrying about their children's future, questioning the nature of Nansang Middle School, and doubting their own choices, Lin Li and Bai Bufan had to sit upright and behave honestly, just like in an open class.
"You're such a beast for stuffing magazines into my drawer. Why don't you put them in the cabinet behind?"
Lin Li acted quickly and stopped Bai Bufan from framing him.
——The parents will sit in the corresponding seats for their students later, so everyone is cleaning up the scene.
In the morning, Yang Bangjie asked everyone to borrow markers because he liked to use a compass to carve things on the desk, and the content of the carvings was somewhat indecent.
"You are the handsome and invincible study king of Nansang Middle School. Who cares if you have novels in your drawer? If my mother sees it, she might even persuade me to read novels!" Bai Bufan argued.
“Step down.” The cool, handsome and invincible study king of Nansang Middle School nodded when he heard this. Bufan had said such heartfelt words, so let it be.
Put it directly on the desktop!
When the two walked out of the classroom, Wu Min was already waiting at the door.
"Mom, here."
"Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, hello~"
"You know my seat, it's at the bottom left corner of the classroom, next to my deskmate who has a novel on him." After Bai Bufan and Wu Min finished greeting each other, Lin Li pointed to his own seat and said.
"Okay, I understand." Wu Min nodded and walked directly to Lin Li's position.
But Bai Bufan was stunned.
What does "the one sitting next to me with a novel" mean?
When he looked closely, the magazine actually reappeared on his desk.
The corridor was full of parents, Bai Bufan's dirty words were visible in their eyes, so he quickly ran back to his seat and hid them.
Lin Li watched this scene happily. After Bai Bufan came out, he raised his chin and asked curiously, "Bufan, your parents haven't come yet?"
"Here it comes, over there." Bai Bufan raised his chin towards the direction of the overhead corridor.
Lin Li looked over and saw that Bai's mother, whom he had met once before when he went to Bai Bufan's house, was really there.
At this moment, he looked here, and after noticing Lin Li's gaze, he smiled and waved to say hello.
"When did you come? Why are you standing so far away?" Lin Li was a little surprised.
Bai Bufan: "She shouldn't be considered my mother yet."
Lin Li: “?”
Bai Bufan's smile was bleak and pale:
"She told me not to rush to acknowledge me as her mother. She wanted to see the situation before deciding whether to acknowledge me as her son, because she was worried that I would cause trouble in school, make enemies, and then implicate her."
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then he raised his thumb and nodded in approval: "Auntie is very wise. No wonder she has raised someone like you to this age without getting mad to death."
"Lin Li, you are the only one who has no right to say such things! At least I have a father to share this pain with. It must be even more difficult for your mother to raise you alone!" Bai Bufan sneered.
As for the words "at least I have a father", others might be hesitant, but Bai Bufan said it without any psychological burden - he knew Lin Li's character very well.
After being despised by Bai Bufan, Lin Li remained silent. He just covered his red eyes with his arms and walked towards Bai's mother while shedding his little pearls.
Feeling wronged and want to file a complaint.
Bai Bufan: “?”
"I was wrong, brother! I was wrong! Brother! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I really deserve to die! I really deserve to die!" Bai Bufan instantly grabbed Lin Li and apologized with gritted teeth, but there was no apology in his tone, only ferocity.
These trenches are everywhere!
Now you know the defense is broken?
What have you been doing so far?
But when Bai's mother really approached, Lin Li instantly returned to normal: "Hello, Auntie."
"Lin Li, right? Auntie still remembers you..."
Upon hearing this, Bai's mother immediately patted Lin Li's shoulders enthusiastically and began to praise Lin Li from all aspects of appearance, manners, and achievements.
As for Bai Bufan, she really didn't know him well.
When Bai's mother finally recognized her son, she walked into the classroom and sat in Bai Bufan's seat.
Wu Min and Bai's mother looked at each other, and they immediately smiled politely and started chatting.
Lin Li felt that when Wu Min noticed that Bai's mother was walking towards her, she was already thinking about how to start the conversation appropriately.
Alas, sir.
A world of pleasing each other.
Out of the corner of his eye he felt as if someone was looking at him. Lin Li followed the direction of the gaze and looked up.
There were not many male parents in the corridor, probably less than one-third.
Lin Li was certain that if he took a photo and posted it online, it would cause opposition—probably from the angle of "Tsk tsk, at a time like this, the biological daddy has beautifully disappeared again."
And at this moment, there was indeed a woman among the parents who was looking at him.
The other person was well maintained and looked to be around 30 years old. She had delicate makeup and permed hair. She had all the accessories including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc., but they were all low-key and restrained, not particularly eye-catching.
It actually satisfies Lin Li's stereotype of the wives of wealthy men.
Lin Li looked again and did not see Chen Zhongping among the group of parents in the corridor.
So... this is the class monitor’s mother?
Lin Li could feel that the other person's gaze was still on him - even though he had already noticed and looked back. The difference between before and after was probably that after they looked at each other, there was a slight smile on the other person's face.
But this made Lin Li nervous.
The level of tension is comparable to that of people with poor English. In English class, the teacher is talking in a train. The train was originally heading for the next group, but when it came to the row in front of you, the train suddenly turned and headed for your group.
Boom boom boom.
Moreover, the answer was soon verified - after Chen Yuying walked out of the front door, she immediately ran towards the other party with a smile, and Lin Li could still hear her calling "Mom".
She’s really our mom!
Chen Yuying's appearance finally made the other party look away, and Lin Li felt a little more at ease.
But then confusion set in.
Why is the other person always looking at me?
Is this already known?
But before Lin Li could think more about this, Bai Bufan's expression changed: "Lin Li, the situation is not right, we may have to leave first."
Hearing this, Lin Li followed Bai Bufan's gaze and looked into the classroom.
Because all the parents have not arrived and sat down yet, Xue Jian is now chatting with some of them specifically. At the moment, Xue Jian is standing next to Wu Min and Bai's mother.
"Let's go!" Lin Li nodded immediately, followed Bai Bufan's steps and ran away.
Although he was the top student in his grade, theoretically he should not have anything to worry about, but he must remember that Lin Li firmly believed that Xue Jian's worldview was as follows:
Chen Yuying and other good students > ordinary students > humans > Lin Li (good student BUFF) > Bai Bufan and other creatures > tables and chairs and other class properties > others > Lin Li.
If you can run, run.
…
When the two returned to the corridor of Class 4, it was already five minutes after the bell for the third class rang.
At this time, the parent-teacher meeting had officially begun, and the only people standing in the corridor and the overhead corridor next to it were the students.
The two of them immediately locked onto Qin Zeyu and Zhang Haoyang, who were sighing in the overhead corridor.
Bai Bufan and Lin Li both like a famous saying in "Yueyang Tower Inscription": Enjoy your classmates' worries first, and worry about their happiness first.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan followed them on the left and right, while Zhou Baowei, who was eating a hot sesame cake not far away, immediately ran towards the second grade teaching building.
"What's wrong with you two? If you have anything that makes you unhappy, tell us and make everyone happy." Lin Li asked.
Qin Zeyu sighed: "Lin Li, why do parents always only look at test scores?"
"Nonsense," Lin Li retorted quickly, "They won't understand the test questions if we ask them to look at them."
Qin Zeyu: “…”
Well damn that makes sense.
"I don't mean to only look at the results, but why do you take the results so seriously!" Qin Zeyu explained with difficulty, and then said depressedly: "If I drop a few places in the section, it seems that my life is over..."
Lin Li raised his eyebrows.
It seems that Qin Zeyu's parents are relatively traditional parents who believe in grades.
Lin Li suddenly remembered a joke:
After a parent found out that his child was called "Sao B" at school, he angrily went to the school to argue and asked why his child was not "Sao A+".
When the child grew up, he suddenly came home one day complaining that he couldn't go through a day in Class B. They were heartbroken, but also finally relieved.
I feel sad that I can't prevent my child from attending Class A, but I am relieved that my child finally understands the importance of getting an A.
The reaction and irony is this problem.
"Haoyang, what about you?" Bai Bufan asked Zhang Haoyang.
"I'm almost there," Zhang Haoyang also sighed, "Didn't I deliberately get 12 points in the competition? The result is a bit too obvious.
Lao Jiantou didn't care about it, as he had always advocated a voluntary system. But when my mother found out, she scolded me again and said she would pay for me to register for the preliminary exam again.
Isn't this just a waste of money? I've already said I don't want to take the exam, and I haven't fallen behind in my regular studies. Why do you have to force me to participate in this crappy competition...
We even had a quarrel. If I had known, I would have deliberately scored 80 or 90 points instead of just 12 points..."
After saying that, Qin Zeyu and Zhang Haoyang looked at each other and sighed for the third time in tacit understanding.
Appreciate each other.
"Lin Li, Bufan, do you think there really exists a family in this world that has never quarreled with their parents?" they asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Lin Li nodded and comforted him confidently.
"No."
Lin Li frowned. "Why don't you believe it? According to the last world statistics, there are at least 150 million orphans on Earth, and they have never quarreled with their parents."
Zhang Haoyang, Qin Zeyu: “(;☉_☉)?”
