Chapter 41: Exchange Students
Soon after Luo Ying packed her luggage, Luo's father and Luo's mother returned home from the company to let Xiu's mother rest. The two of them worked together in the kitchen, tossing a table of dishes for her.
"Dad, Mom, you're too exaggerated, aren't you?" Luo Ying went downstairs, looked at a large row of dishes on the table, and then looked at her parents who were still wearing aprons and stir-frying in the kitchen, and walked into the kitchen in surprise.
"It's not an exaggeration, there are a lot of people, so I guarantee that I will finish eating. Luo's mother turned around and smiled at her daughter behind her, this child, since she was a child, has been afraid of waste, and if she is not comforted and comforted, she will not be at ease.
"Isn't it just five people? "Dad, Mom, Xiu Ma, Sister Xie Ya, and herself, where can I eat so much?
"No, it's six people. Whoa, take it out. Luo Mu put the fried vegetables on a plate and handed it to her.
"Six, Mom, don't you tell me the sixth is...... Assistant Lee. She took the dishes out of the kitchen, looked out the floor-to-ceiling window behind the dining table, and saw Li Jingmu's car driving into their yard.
"Ouch, how do you know? Your father promoted Jing Mu this morning, and he is now the vice president of the company, so we invited him to have a meal at home today. Luo Mu suppressed her doubts and explained to her.
"Well, he's already at the door. She leaned against the door of the kitchen and nodded at her mother's back.
"Oh, so you saw him, and Mom thought you guessed. Luo Mu untied the knot of the apron behind her waist, put the apron away, and walked out of the kitchen with a smile.
"Dad, I'll help you. She looked in the direction her mother had left, hurried into the kitchen, and came to her father's side to prepare the dishes and chopsticks that were about to be served with him. She didn't want to go out to see Li Jingmu, and the thought of meeting him face to face always felt weird.
"Okay, get that out of here. Luo Dad looked at Luo Ying, who was frowning lightly, and shook his head and smiled.
"Well......" She picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen leisurely, glanced at Li Jingmu who was sitting on the sofa in the small living room, silently walked to the dining table, and put the dishes and chopsticks away.
Luo Mu kept looking at her, and motioned to her with her eyes to let her go over and say hello to Li Jingmu.
"Hello Uncle Lee. She walked into the small living room and obediently greeted Li Jingmu in front of Luo's mother.
"Hmm. Li Jingmu smiled and nodded at her, just like treating a customer, but without losing etiquette.
Luo Ying held back a smile and hurriedly turned around and walked to the kitchen to snicker. She called him "brother" last time, and this time she called him "uncle", he was still so calm, and there was no strangeness on his face.
When Luo's mother heard Luo Ying call Li Jingmu "uncle", she suddenly felt a little inappropriate, but when she thought about it, he was almost ten years older than her, and there was nothing wrong with calling her uncle. He looked too young, which always gave her the illusion that Luo Ying should call him "brother".
Luo Ying carefully finished eating and said hello to everyone and left the table upstairs, as soon as she went upstairs, she called Zhou Li, now they are companions on the same boat, she still cares about him.
"Luo Ying?" Zhou Li went upstairs after lunch, and looked at the uncle downstairs walking back and forth on the lawn in the yard with a lawnmower.
"What are you doing?" Luo Ying asked suspiciously, listening to the roar of the machine on the other end of the phone.
"It's nothing, you call me now, do you have anything to explain?" he retracted his gaze and turned, opened the door to the room with one hand, and walked into the room to stop the roar of the machine in his ears.
"Yes, I forgot to tell you the most important thing. You must remember to go to the pharmacy to prepare some ointments against mosquito bites, and it is better to buy the more powerful ones that can be effective with one touch. She sat down at her desk and tapped on it to remind him. If he gets there, he will thank her if he gets bitten by a bug.
"Well, I heard you say this weirdly, I'd better see if they helped me get ready, if not, I'll have to hurry up. Zhou Li smiled and thanked her.
"Hmm. Be ready, I'll see you in the afternoon, I'll take a nap first. ”
"Good. ”
"Who are you talking to?" Zhou Li had just put away his mobile phone, and Zhou's mother pushed open the door of his room to ask.
"My classmates who want to leave school with me. He looked away from her, and replied coldly.
"Don't make friends you shouldn't make, I'll accompany you to school in the afternoon and see you off. Zhou's mother left a word, took a step and closed the door of his room.
He lowered his head and closed his eyes, and fell to the bed with his arms outstretched, he felt devastated by a mother who had to take care of everything, but it was a blessing that she didn't let people go with him.
In the afternoon, when Luo Ying came to the school, she saw Zhou Li and a woman in the small square in front of the school gate.
"Hello Auntie. After she got out of the car, Zhou Li waved to her, and she walked up to them to say hello.
"Are you the young lady of the Luo family?" Mother Zhou looked at Xie Ya, who was wearing a professional skirt behind her, and asked with a smile at her.
"Hmm. Luo Ying felt awkward listening to her words, but still smiled and nodded at her.
"Oh, when I saw you at the dinner, I thought you were younger than Zhou Li, but it turned out that you were classmates. Hehe, I'm just busy with business and ignore you. When you go to another school, remember to take care of each other. ”
"Yes. Luo Ying looked at the slightly apologetic woman in front of her and promised her.
"Luo Ying, let's go. Mom, go back and stay safe on the road. Zhou Li, who was standing on the side, saw the head teacher and the accompanying teacher follow the school bus out of the school gate and stopped, so he motioned for Luo Ying to leave. He didn't want her to say anything to Luo Ying again.
After Xie Ya loaded Luo Ying's luggage onto the school bus, she returned to the car, started the car and followed the school bus.
The car gradually moved away from the city and into the county, and although the two places were not separated by 108,000 miles, the scenery was very different.
Nangong Yi and Han Yilan sat in a private car, and in front of them sat their school's accompanying teacher in the silver-white school bus with their school's badge printed on it.
Nangong Yi closed his eyes and leaned quietly on the cushion in the back seat, with a helpless face under his thick long eyelashes. Han Yilan sat beside him and lowered the left and right windows, looking left and right, and her enthusiasm was undiminished along the way.
"The scenery outside is so beautiful, why don't you look at it?" Han Yilan looked at his handsome face, raised a smile, and gently pushed him.
"If you think it's good, take your time. Nangong Yi opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Han Yilan, who was wearing a one-shoulder dress that exposed a large piece of snow muscle near his shoulder, and then closed his eyes after saying lightly. If it weren't for his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law who asked him to accompany Han Yilan, he would rather stay at home and endure Murong Ling's torture. I really don't understand how she, the eldest lady, could be so keen on these mountains and rivers, as soon as she heard that the school had an exchange student quota, she checked the place and took it, and pulled him to accompany her to suffer.
The accompanying teacher sat in the passenger seat, and Luo Ying and Zhou Li, who were sitting in the back seat, each occupied a car window, looking at the slowly moving scenery in the distance outside the window, while listening to the understanding of the accompanying teacher in front.
"Wow...... It was the first time I had seen so many mountains so high. When the car turned into a mountain road, the sky turned gray and white, and rain began to drift around, Zhou Li looked up at the towering mountains and sighed.
"Actually, so am I. It seems that we go out too little. Luo Ying looked at the clouds of rain and mist wafting from the treetops in the mountains, and nodded to Zhou Li behind her in a daze. Her hometown is by the river, the beautiful sloping bamboo forest is her memory, as for the mountains, she used to look at it from afar, this time she came to the foot of the mountain, only to feel that the mountains are very spectacular, shocking.
The car drove out of the mountain road and into the flat field, and they were still reluctantly lying in front of the back window of the car looking at the distant mountains.
As the sun set in the west, the school bus stopped in front of the gate of the high school campus, waiting for the gate bar to rise and enter the campus.
Luo Ying looked into the campus with the gate and found that there were many big trees inside, which looked a little old. Under the gaze, there is shade everywhere, and the greenery is really well done.
"Oh me, isn't that the school bus of our rival school? Why are they here too?" After the car entered the campus and stopped, Zhou Li saw the car with the school logo printed on the nearby parking space.
"We're all here, can they not come? If we come and they don't come, then how can we be right?" Xie Ya left first and went to a nearby hotel to check in, Luo Ying glanced at the school bus not far away, then smiled and pulled up her suitcase to follow the footsteps of the accompanying teacher.
