Chapter 15 As long as you are happy
"Mom, I'm back!"
It was still warm at noon, and it began to rain heavily soon in the afternoon, and the cold rain fell like a dump, and he refused to stop for a while, Lu Yuan returned home and saw that his mother did not come out of the stall, this kind of weather, it is indeed unlikely that anyone is willing to stop and eat.
"Well, wash your hands, get ready to eat, today I steamed your favorite crucian carp, Aunt Huang said that it is a local crucian carp, which is three yuan a pound more expensive than crucian carp in other places!"
Huang Xiuzhen smiled and spoke to Lu Yuan as she took the dishes out of the kitchen.
Just as he was talking, Lu Tianming also came back, although he was wearing a poncho, but riding an electric car, he still couldn't completely cover his body, half of his clothes were soaked, and his head was full of rain.
Huang Xiuzhen hurriedly took out a towel from the room, gave it to Lu Tianming, and said urgently: "Hurry up and dry it, change your clothes, don't catch a cold!"
Lu Tianming took the towel a little tiredly, walked towards the bedroom, and whispered.
At the dinner table, as usual, two bowls of meat dishes were placed in front of Lu Yuan, and Lu Tianming and Huang Xiuzhen only occasionally went to pick up a pair of chopsticks.
"By the way, Lu Yuan, it seems that the final exam has already been taken, and the results are ......"
Lu Tianming was only halfway through the question, when he felt his foot being kicked, he looked up and found that Huang Xiuzhen was glaring at him.
"Eat first, we'll talk about something later!"
Huang Xiuzhen knocked on the bowl and spoke.
The pager on Lu Tianming's body rang suddenly, he looked down, found that it was an unfamiliar number, and said, "I'll go call back first." ”
In 2001, pagers have begun to decline in southern cities, and many people with good incomes have long been replaced with Nokia or Motorola mobile phones, but mobile phones that cost thousands of yuan at every turn are still a luxury for the Lu family.
The place where Lu Yuan's family lives now is rented, so there is no telephone installed, and if you want to page, you have to run to the commissary a few hundred meters away.
Seeing Lu Tianming go out, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, are you afraid that my dad won't be able to eat because he will be uncomfortable after hearing about my grades?"
Huang Xiuzhen glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Mom believes that you will work hard, and the matter of grades is not something that can be improved in a while." ”
"Mom, I really did well in this final exam!"
Lu Yuan simply put down his chopsticks and said in a low voice.
"Really, how many places did you get in the exam?"
Huang Xiuzhen was slightly stunned, and then asked a little happily.
Lu Yuan smiled and stretched out a finger.
"I got the first place in the class, and I have made such a big progress!"
Huang Xiuzhen's face suddenly bloomed with a smile, and she actually looked a little excited, she knew that Lu Yuan's class was an ordinary class, and most of the students had poor grades, but if Lu Yuan could get the first place in the exam, at least the public fee line of the twelfth middle school would be able to pass, maybe even the third middle school might be possible.
Lu Yuan shook his head and said softly, "No. 1 in the school!"
“……”
Huang Xiuzhen was silent instantly, and the smile on her face slowly dissipated, if she was the first in the class, with the previous foundation of Lu Yuan, coupled with the recent efforts, Huang Xiuzhen believes that it is still possible.
But the first in the whole school...... It's completely impossible!
Seeing his mother's expression, Lu Yuan knew that she must not believe it, this situation is indeed unbelievable on anyone.
He just wanted to speak, but saw Lu Tianming calling back from outside, but his expression was very complicated, even with a hint of weirdness, ecstasy, disbelief, and confusion.
As soon as Lu Tianming entered the door, he stared directly at Lu Yuan and asked, "You took the first place in the school this time?"
Lu Tianming, who has always been silent and even a little cold, actually trembled in his voice at this time, although he had already received the call, he still couldn't believe it in his heart, and he only hoped that Lu Yuan would hear it in person.
Hearing Lu Tianming's words, Huang Xiuzhen was also stunned, she just heard Lu Yuan talk about this, she just thought it was a joke, she didn't expect that even her husband would ask this, right?
Lu Yuan suddenly guessed who was calling, he nodded lightly, and said, "Yes, I just told my mother about this, and she still doesn't believe it......"
Huang Xiuzhen didn't pay attention to Lu Yuan's words, stood up directly, turned to Lu Tianming, and asked in a little panic, "Is it the phone number of Lu Yuan's school?"
Lu Tianming took a deep breath and replied: "It's a call from East Lake International Experimental School, saying that they will come to our house in the evening, hoping that Lu Yuan can go to their place to study, and then the tuition and living expenses will be free, and 50,000 yuan can be given as a scholarship......"
Donghu International Experimental School is the most famous private school in Jidong City, the scale is very large, from kindergarten to high school, they will pay a high price every year to grab high-scoring candidates, as the school's business card, the most well-informed, many schools have even just finished the test papers, even the ranking has not been officially ranked, they have already got the information to shoot.
He glanced at Lu Yuan and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, my first reaction was whether the other party made a mistake, and I am a little confused until now." ”
Hearing Lu Tianming's words, Huang Xiuzhen was also stunned for a moment, but she recovered faster, after all, in her mother's mind, her son is always the best.
She turned around directly, holding Lu Yuan's hand tightly, her face was full of indescribable joy, she didn't say anything, but there were already two tear stains on her face.
And Lu Tianming's eyes were already a little moist.
In Lu Yuan's memory, his father never seemed to have cried, even if he borrowed money to plant seedlings and had no return, and his friends who partnered with others to do business ran away with money, this man who was as hard as a mountain never had red circles in his eyes.
At this time, I finally couldn't help the excitement in my heart.
Lu Yuan, who is reincarnated, understands Lu Tianming and Huang Xiuzhen's feelings very well in his heart, when Lu Yuan was admitted to Jidong Junior High School with exceptionally good results, they specially came to the city to rent a house and worked hard, the only hope is that Lu Yuan has good grades.
It's a pity that Lu Yuan's grades plummeted after arriving at Jidong Junior High School, and every time he returned to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, some people already pointed fingers, saying that Lu Tianming and his wife were stupid and spent so much money in vain.
All kinds of cynicism, with Lu Tianming's pride, can only endure it silently.
Now that Lu Yuan has suddenly achieved such a result, the emotions in their hearts are really indescribable.
"Eat first, the dishes are cold!"
Huang Xiuzhen suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room, picking up a piece of meat from the fish belly and putting it in Lu Yuan's bowl.
"Yes, eat first!"
Lu Tianming turned around, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said loudly.
In the simple house, the food was plain, but the most ordinary happiness was surging, and at this time, in Lu Yuan's heart, there was only a feeling of peace and joy spreading.
Coming back to the present is as long as you are happy!
