Chapter 111: Cousin
h2> Li Ming just went to his aunt's house and his second uncle's house that day.
The next day, Li Ming borrowed a motorcycle from an acquaintance in the village, and went back to his hometown alone with a gift to see his grandmother.
Li Ming's grandmother, they all live in a place called Luojiao near Luolong.
It takes more than an hour to get from the county seat by car.
Li Ming was afraid of trouble, so he borrowed a motorcycle and rode it by himself.
And it costs money to take the bus, and the car will only go to Luolong, not Luojiao, and you still need to walk for half an hour after Luolong.
And borrowing a motorcycle, it only costs a little fuel money, and Li Ming can ride directly to the corner.
Last but not least, you don't have to be limited by the time of the bus, you can come whenever you want, and you don't have to worry about being too late to catch the bus.
With a motorcycle, you can walk whenever you want, which is much more convenient.
It just so happens that Li Ming can also ride this motorcycle.
Although Li Ming's grandmother does not want to see their family, the filial piety that should be there is still a must.
When I arrived at the corner, I saw my grandmother and uncle.
Li Ming gave them everything he was going to give them.
The main thing is some moon cakes, and the other Li Ming didn't prepare any gifts.
Instead, Li Ming also bought a dress for his grandmother, as well as the bracelet of Buddhist beads.
Although on the surface, Li Ming said that he didn't say anything about his uncle before.
But just seeing that Li Ming just brought some mooncakes to his uncle's house, and didn't prepare any more gifts.
Although Li Ming's grandmother has not been waiting to see Li Ming's family since she was a child, on the surface, his grandmother is not as obvious as she seems.
At least this time, Li Ming's grandmother still cared about Li Ming on the surface, saying that Li Ming had lost weight and asked Li Ming to eat more.
This undoubtedly made Li Ming roll his eyes, you must know that Li Ming is much stronger now than more than half a year ago, although it looks similar to before on the surface, but in fact, Li Ming is more than ten pounds heavier than more than half a year ago.
It's fat, and thin don't put it aside!
But Li Ming's grandmother said this, which shows how much she doesn't know about Li Ming, or that she has never updated it, and just said some high-sounding words.
But Li Ming didn't refute it, what the old man said, no matter what it is, you don't have to listen to it, but you have to bear it.
stayed with the old man for a while, and listened to the old man's nagging for a while, and then Li Ming found an excuse to leave.
Originally, Li Ming's uncle's family was going to leave Li Ming for dinner, but Li Ming politely declined.
By the time Li Ming returned home, it was already noon.
At noon, it was not only Li Ming and his parents who were eating, but also a very strong person, black and strong, about 1.7 meters.
As soon as he saw Li Ming coming back, he shouted, "Brother Ming!"
Li Ming nodded: "It's school!"
"Yesterday made up the class, today is a holiday!"
This black and strong person who calls Li Ming is brother is Li Ming's cousin, and on the surface, he should be a very big young man.
But in fact, he is only a fifteen-year-old child in the third year of junior high school.
"Xingping, it seems that you will be as tall as me in two years!"
Li Xingping smiled: "Brother, you are taller than me!"
"I bought you a dress, go try it and see if you like it!"
Saying that, Li Ming took Li Xingping into the house and took out the mobile phone he bought.
Li Xingping is the child of Li Ming's uncle's family, and he is also the youngest, and the eldest Li Xingpeng has already gone to college again, but he is one year younger than Li Ming.
However, Li Xingpeng went to school much later than Li Ming.
Li Ming has been in primary school since he was more than five years old, graduated in his twenties, and is only twenty-three years old this year.
Most of the others went to school according to the normal age of six or seven, and not everyone went to school so early as Li Ming.
For these two cousins, Li Ming has always been very good to them since he was a child, and they have respected Li Ming as an elder brother since he was a child.
Li Xingpeng is stronger than Li Ming, and he went to a second-class university.
This also seems to be the reason why Li Ming's uncle saw that Li Ming had no job and said Li Ming!
"Xingping, do you have a high school you want to take the exam, and which high school are you going to take next year!"
"City No. 2 Middle School!"
"Yes, if you are admitted next year, my brother will buy you a mobile phone!"
"Really!"
Li Xingping laughed, revealing his white teeth.
"Why are you lying to you! Study hard in school, you are much smarter than Xingpeng, if you have Xingpeng's kind of hard work, let alone the second middle school in the city, it will not be a problem to be admitted to a university in the future!"
Li Xingpeng's brain is not fast is recognized by everyone.
Even Father Li, who has always liked Li Xingpeng's nephew, thinks that his obedient and well-behaved nephew is a bit stupid.
However, Li Xingpeng is very hard-working, for example, others only have an hour to study, so he uses two hours, three hours or even more study time to make up for it, so as to be able to catch up with others.
Although he has worked so hard, Li Xingpeng was only admitted to a second university in the end.
Father Li had used the deeds of Li Ming's cousin to talk about Li Ming before.
Just like Li Ming is the negative textbook in the family, Li Xingpeng is the positive textbook, showing off to everyone what is called 'stupid bird flies first!'.
Even Li Ming sometimes admires his cousin.
With perseverance and perseverance, he was almost admitted to the second university he signed up for in the first year, and continued to repeat his studies, and was only admitted in the second year.
Li Ming didn't have the perseverance to continue to repeat his senior year of high school.
Unless you're really heartless, if you want to repeat it, then the pressure is huge.
Li Ming just didn't want to bear this pressure, so he went directly to the three colleges he was admitted to.
Originally, Li Ming had already thought about it when he graduated from high school, but if he couldn't pass the exam, he would rather not study.
But he was admitted, although it was only a three-book, but it was a university anyway.
At that time, Li Ming's parents asked him if he wanted to hold a college entrance banquet, and Li Ming said that he had done poorly in the exam, so he would not let the family lose this face, and what kind of college banquet would be held.
Hearing Li Ming say this, Li Ming's parents also gritted their teeth and did not hold a college banquet.
Thinking about it now, Li Ming also felt that he was naïve at that time.
If this banquet had been held at that time, maybe the pressure on the parents would have been reduced a lot.
A college entrance banquet is very likely to find Li Ming's tuition and miscellaneous fees for four years of college.
In Li Ming's place, there are countless people who hold these various banquets.
In addition to the obligatory celebrations, moving, shaving hair, birthdays, going to university, and so on.
Every year, many families spend a lot of money on gifts in order to eat this kind of banquet, and some even shout that they don't go to the banquet.
Even Li Ming's parents spend most of their income on this every year.
Many people can be said to be bitter, if you don't go, people invite you, you can't get by, if you go, this kind of banquet will eat you too much.
This leads to a lot of people competing to hold a banquet, today your family will do it, tomorrow my family will do it.
If you don't do it, if you don't do it, other people's families will do it, and it is not later that the state clearly stipulates that only red and white ceremonies can be done.
Even Li Ming knew that there was a family that held a banquet when they got married, and this wedding wine should be done.
But after the little couple received the gift money, they immediately bought a piece of land, dug the foundation, and then moved the wine, and after doing it, they received the gift money to build the first floor, and then they collected the gift money again, and built the second floor, and then they did it again......
It's Li Ming and their village, Dad Li went there a few times ago, but seeing that the family still had to continue to do this moving wine, Dad Li was also annoyed, and he said that he wouldn't go.
Although it is said that they are in the same village, they don't see anyone who looks down on weekdays, and it's not good to be stiff, but this family is really a little ......
But there are some people like Daddy Li who don't go, but there are still a lot of people who go.
No way, if you don't go this time, then it means that all the times you went before were in vain.
If you come to hold a banquet in the future, people will bite you to death once you didn't go, you won't come, and you won't pay back the gift money, as the so-called gift is still exchanged, you have to give gifts when you hold a banquet at someone else's house, and people will come to give gifts when you do it, which can also be said to be a gift.
Many people say that this banquet will always hurt your real relatives and friends!
Li Ming has always thought deeply of this sentence.
Since Li Ming's family was sensible to Li Ming, the family has only held a banquet once, that is, after the house where Li Ming's family lives now was built, they held a moving wine.
There are many people who have held this kind of banquet many times, and Li Ming's family has also been to this kind of banquet many times.
Gave a lot of gift money!
As long as Li Ming's family at that time held a school promotion wine, at least some gift money could be recovered.
But Li Ming thinks that he has only been admitted to a three-school college, and holding a banquet at home is not only a shame for himself, but also a shame for his parents.
He is a child who doesn't care, but Li Ming thinks that his parents will be very faceless in front of many people.
In this way, because of Li Ming's insistence, Li Ming's parents did not do it.
It wasn't until later, every time he came home from vacation, he saw that his parents often went out to eat this kind of banquet, and after understanding a little, Li Ming knew that his original idea was a bit naïve, and he didn't think about the adults in the family.
Because at that time, Li's father and Li's mother brought up this matter, which means that they have this meaning.
But he was denied by Li Ming in one bite, saying that his family would not lose that face, and such a sentence blocked Father Li, who loved face.
Li Ming's idea at that time was also a little taken for granted and immature. Later, Li Ming learned that in order for him to be able to go to this university, Li's father and Li's mother also borrowed some tuition from Li Ming's uncles. R1152
