Chapter 27: The Family Feast
"Is it Lu Yuan, Happy New Year!"
Lu Qing's voice paused slightly before he spoke.
She didn't ask Lu Yuan how he knew his home phone number, Lu Yuan's thoughts, with Lu Qing's ice and snow intelligence, how could he not see it.
Although Lu Qing didn't want to fall in love in middle school, Lu Yuan's behavior didn't disgust her, and she didn't confess directly or anything, even if she wanted to refuse, it was not easy to speak directly.
"By the way, Lu Qing, have you signed for Jidong Middle School in advance?"
Lu Yuan forgot to ask this question when he drank milk tea at the street last time, and now he can finally ask.
"Haven't signed ...... yet"
On the other end of the phone, he seemed to hesitate for a moment before he said slowly: "I may not be in high school in Jidong......
As if he had been hit by something, Lu Yuan's heart suddenly felt a little empty, did his appearance really change something?
"Let's do it first, by the way, I will still take the high school entrance examination, and I won't let you take the first place so easily!"
Lu Qing said with a hint of joke and a hint of seriousness.
With her usual coldness and indifference, it is not easy to say this to Lu Yuan.
"Then come back for the high school entrance examination!"
Lu Yuan said with a smile.
Hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan suddenly felt at a loss, in fact, he didn't know that Lu Qing in his previous life, although he went to Jidong Middle School, he only studied for two months and then transferred to other places.
It's just that now, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the bright fireworks in the dark night in the distance, and silently told himself that he still needed to do more to be qualified to protect the other party for a lifetime.
The fourth day of the first lunar month is Lu Yuan's grandmother's birthday, and the three sisters of Huang Xiuzhen's family set this day every year to set up a table in the hotel to celebrate their mother's birthday.
In the box of Xiaonanguo Restaurant, there are two tables full of people, Huang Meihua and Zhang Yuanren's family, as well as Huang Wenying, Chen Weida, Chen Qingwei, and Lu Yuan's family.
Lu Yuan's grandfather died early, Lu Yuan's grandmother, a widow, dragged Huang Xiuzhen and their three sisters to grow up, Huang Meihua is much older, and she has long been married to Zhang Yuanren, who is a teacher, and Huang Xiuzhen and Huang Meiying are of the same age and have a better relationship.
Lu Yuan's grandmother sat at the top of the main table, although her white hair was pale, but her spirit was strong, she had worked hard all her life, and now she saw her children and grandchildren full of people, she was indeed very peaceful and happy.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was quite dull, Lu Tianming and Zhang Yuanren didn't talk much, only Lu Yuan and Chen Weida, Chen Qingwei were whispering, and Huang Meihua was talking.
"Zhang Ling, your younger brother Lu Yuan is about to take the high school entrance examination, you take the time to teach him some experience, if the score is too ugly, it will be difficult for your father to help!"
Huang Meihua raised her eyebrows and said to Zhang Ling, who was sitting at the next table playing Wenqu Xing.
Zhang Ling was just admitted to a second-class normal school in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province last year, which happened to be the one that Lu Yuan was admitted to in his previous life.
Hearing Huang Meihua's words, Lu Yuan and Chen Weida looked at each other, and the expressions on Huang Xiuzhen and Lu Tianming's faces were a little proud and a little embarrassed.
Huang Meihua didn't notice their expressions, and continued: "Lu Yuan, you should also be sensible, learn more from Zhang Ling, remember that you used to have a good foundation!"
Heaven can see mercy, even if Lu Yuan really wants to find a role model for hard work, he should be a scholar like Chen Qingwei, Zhang Ling If it weren't for her father's hard work to win her an extra point for artistic expertise, even the second line would not be enough.
Zhang Yuanren coughed lightly, lit a cigarette, and said lightly: "Tianming, did Lu Yuan have 400 points in this mock exam?" I can say hello to my friends from Yuexiu Middle School then, and I should be able to admit them, but the cost will be a little high!"
Yuexiu Middle School is a comprehensive high school in Jidong City, with very low scores, and you can basically study as long as you pay for it......
Lu Tianming was drinking at this time, and when he heard Zhang Yuanren's words, he was accidentally choked, coughed heavily, and his face turned red.
He glared at Huang Xiuzhen with some reproach, but in front of Zhang Yuanren, he didn't know what to say for a while, no matter what, at least on the surface, Zhang Yuanren also said that he wanted to help, and he couldn't say that my son was the first in the school, this is too direct......
The main reason is that Huang Xiuzhen didn't tell Huang Meihua about Lu Yuan's exam results a few days ago, she usually walks around less, and she doesn't have a chance to tell if she wants to, but this will be embarrassing.
In a somewhat dull atmosphere, Huang Meihua and Zhang Yuanren finally felt that something was wrong, glanced at each other, and then looked at Lu Tianming and Huang Xiuzhen.
"Ahem, uncle, this, the situation is like this......"
In the end, it was Lu Yuan who spoke.
"In this mock exam, I did okay, and I happened to be the first in the year!"
"What?
Zhang Yuanren and Huang Meihua were shocked when they heard Lu Yuan's words, Huang Meihua almost couldn't help but reprimand Lu Yuan for lying, but she looked at Huang Xiuzhen and Lu Tianming's faces, and barely held back from saying anything.
It's just that she couldn't help it, but Zhang Ling, who was playing the game, sneered directly and mocked: "My good cousin, if you could be the first in the school, wouldn't I have been able to go to Beijing University in the first place!"
Huang Xiuzhen frowned, wanting to speak, even if it was a niece and doubting her son, she couldn't bear it.
Lu Yuan lightly kicked Huang Xiuzhen under the table, and said with a smile: "My cousin may have had bad luck at the time, but I just happened to have good luck this time!"
Zhang Ling still wanted to speak, but Zhang Yuanren asked directly: "Tianming, what Lu Yuan said is true?"
Lu Tianming grinned, "A few days ago, the teachers from Jidong Middle School and Donghu International Experimental School came here and asked to sign a study agreement with Lu Yuan!"
Hearing Lu Tianming's words, Huang Meihua fell silent, and Zhang Yuanren reluctantly smiled: "Not bad, not bad......"
In fact, Lu Yuan did well in the exam, and they would not have been like this, but among the three sisters of the Huang family, whether it is family conditions or the future of their children, Huang Meihua's family is the most superior, and at this time, this sense of superiority was suddenly broken, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
"Did Ah Yuan take the first place in the exam, ...... well"
Lu Yuan's grandmother is deaf and clear-sighted, and naturally she also knows the things between her daughters, and she is not easy to say anything, she knows her daughter's temper very well, so she can only come out to play a round at this time.
She took out a red envelope from her pocket, handed it to Lu Yuan, and said with a smile: "Study hard, you can be like your uncle-in-law in the future!"
In her heart, her eldest son-in-law is the most capable, and if Lu Yuan can be like Zhang Yuanren in the future, she will be satisfied.
"Come on, come on, everybody!"
After telling Lu Yuan, the old man took out a few more red envelopes and sent them to Zhang Ling, Chen Weida, and Chen Qingwei respectively.
