Chapter 21: Birthday

It's time for school to get out of school at noon.

Liao Fanmin sorted out his schoolbag, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Liao Fanmin, do me a favor, when I go to class in the afternoon, I will help buy a pack of cigarettes, as well as instant noodles, and I want to be in a barrel...

Jia Tianxing handed over a 100-yuan green bill.

"Why don't you go out and buy it yourself."

"I live on campus and can't go out."

Liao Fanmin nodded and took the hundred-yuan bill, he didn't persuade Jia Tianxing not to smoke, in fact, he smoked himself, but he didn't have much money now, and it was difficult to support the cost of smoking.

There is a brand-new Phoenix moped parked in the carport, which is Liao Fanmin's bicycle and the first time it has been ridden.

When she rode to school in the morning, Xue Chuling was very shy and didn't want to get on the bicycle for a while, but finally she expected Ai Ai to get on the bike, after all, the speed of the bicycle is much faster.

Liao Fanmin didn't walk fast, he knew that Xue Chuling would never get on a bicycle at the school gate.

Pushing out the bicycle from the carport, Liao Fanmin rode towards the street without looking at the school gate.

Sure enough, riding about 200 meters, Liao Fanmin saw Xue Chuling walking in front of him.

Liao Fanmin rode in front of Xue Chuling and stopped.

Xue Chuling lowered her head, her ears were red, and she was really embarrassed to get on the bike in broad daylight.

Liao Fanmin was not in a hurry, nor did he urge, he simply got off the bicycle and followed Xue Chuling with the cart.

After walking for about two minutes, Xue Chuling finally couldn't help but speak.

"Liao Fanmin, why don't you ride a bicycle if you have it, what are you doing with me."

"Xue Chuling, you are talking nonsense, either you get in the car quickly, or we will go slowly."

Liao Fanmin's simplicity made Xue Chuling stunned for a moment, she turned her head to look at Liao Fanmin, and found that Liao Fanmin's eyes were very honest.

Finally, Xue Chuling sat on the back rack of the bicycle.

It is from this time on, whether it is windy or rainy, Liao Fanmin's bicycle, every day to go to and from school, specially to pick up Xue Chuling, time is indeed saved, especially at night, only twenty minutes, Liao Fanmin can go home.

There was also a discussion in the class at the beginning, but it quickly disappeared, after all, Xue Chuling is the class leader, a school bully, and a beauty, according to the ideas of many classmates, it is impossible for anything to happen between Xue Chuling and Liao Fanmin, and Xue Chuling, as the class leader, takes care of Liao Fanmin very much, and Liao Fanmin should repay it.

And judging from the performance of the two in the class, there is no abnormality, and it is very natural and frank.

In this case, the discussion will naturally disappear.

March 20, school ends at noon.

Liao Fanmin went home, opened the security door, and a birthday cake appeared in front of him.

"Brother, I wish you a happy birthday."

"Yaoyao, it's a monthly holiday."

Liao Fanyao looked at Liao Fanmin and pouted.

"Brother, you don't pay attention to your eighteenth birthday."

Liao Fanmin patted his head.

"I really forgot, I'm too busy studying during this time, Yaoyao, thank you."

"Brother, I want to congratulate you, 548 points in the monthly exam, this score can go to a university, I read the transcript, that is, politics and history are worse, and you can get a high score by memorizing more, so I think you will definitely be able to go to a key university...

Liao Zexi and Xu Wenqing had already walked from the kitchen to the living room, looking at Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao, with relieved smiles on their faces.

"Yaoyao, your blessing is the best birthday gift for me."

The family sat down again to eat together, with four glasses, a glass of white wine, two glasses of milk, and a drink on the table.

It was Liao Zexi who raised his glass first.

"Xiaomin, Yaoyao, you all make me happy, Xiaomin's monthly exam score has increased by more than two hundred points, Yaoyao's monthly exam score is the first in the class, there are about to appear two college students in our family, this is a big joy, we must have a drink...

Liao Fanmin looked at Liao Fanyao and was very surprised, and after putting down the cup, he immediately spoke.

"Yaoyao, you are the first in the class in the monthly exam, amazing."

"Brother, in fact, this is your credit, especially mathematics, I scored 148 points in the monthly exam, but I made a mistake in a multiple-choice question, if you pay a little attention, you will definitely be able to get a full score."

"How's the English?"

"With a score of 145 in English, I took an hour every day to memorize English words, and I was able to write all the words in the first and second volumes of the English book silently."

Liao Fanmin nodded happily.

"In this month's class, there is something I didn't understand about math."

"Yes, I brought back all the questions and test papers I did, but there are still things I can't do."

"Didn't you ask the teacher?"

"Our teachers just entered the classroom during class, and disappeared after class, so we didn't have a chance to ask at all."

"Okay, I'll explain to you after dinner, take an hour at noon and an hour at night, it's only been a month, you haven't had many new classes, three days is enough."

The three-day monthly vacation means that Liao Fanmin does not have enough rest time at noon for three consecutive days, and he cannot review at night, so he must explain to Liao Fanyao the mathematical concepts that he does not understand.

But Liao Fanmin is willing to do this, and he must do so.

Just finished eating, Liao Fanmin held a birthday cake in his hand and began to look at the test papers on the coffee table in the living room, these are the test papers brought back by Liao Fanyao, basically English and mathematics test papers.

Eighteenth birthdays are indeed unusual, which means that they are legally adults, and about a few years later, many high schools began to implement bar mitzvahs, declaring themselves to be eighteen-year-old adults by taking an oath.

Liao Fanmin doesn't particularly pay attention to his eighteenth birthday, because his mentality is already very mature.

Whether it is the coming-of-age ceremony implemented in high school a few years later, or the legal stipulation of the ability to be responsible at the age of eighteen, it shows that the eighteen-year-old must begin to take responsibility for all his actions.

The eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony is indeed important for many rural teenagers, they can go out to work with their ID cards, they can start talking about matchmaking, they can get married, and they can start to bear the burden of the family, but for the vast majority of teenagers who grow up in the city, eighteen years old is still an ignorant age, at most they want to study hard and be admitted to a good university.

What Liao Fanmin values is not the age of eighteen, but the real ability, the ability to survive in society.

This will inevitably lead to Liao Fanmin not taking his eighteenth birthday very seriously.

Liao Zexi and Xu Wenqing didn't particularly attach importance to this day, perhaps in their opinion, Liao Fanmin is not an adult yet, at least he has no ability to live independently.

In just half an hour, Liao Fanmin finished reading three mathematics test papers and wrote down a lot of content on paper.

In the next half hour, Liao Fanmin began to explain in detail, mainly about how to understand the newly learned mathematical concepts and formulas, and how to use these concepts to calculate problems.

Liao Fanyao listened very carefully and kept taking notes.

It wasn't until half past one o'clock that Liao Fanmin finished his explanation, and at Liao Fanyao's request, he returned to the bedroom to rest.

At 1:50, Liao Fanmin walked out of the bedroom and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

When he left home and went to school, Liao Fanmin told Liao Fanyao that according to the content he had just explained, he would do the questions on the test paper, which were very single, and they were all specific to a certain mathematical concept.

During dinner in the afternoon, Jia Tianxing and Liao Fanmin came to the canteen to eat together.

In less than a week, the relationship between Jia Tianxing and Liao Fanmin has been very good.

Jia Tianxing feels very comfortable getting along with Liao Fanmin, this kind of comfort can't be said with his mouth, it exists more in his feelings, Jia Tianxing has seen many so-called successful people and capable people, and his vision is also very high, but when facing Liao Fanmin, he is really a little convinced.

Whether it is talking or doing things, or other aspects, Liao Fanmin is calm, not impatient or impatient, and more importantly, Liao Fanmin can infect others and let others calmly deal with the problems and troubles they encounter.

Liao Fanmin will not embarrass others, in other words, he can empathize and think from the position of others, which is rare among high school students.

Jia Tianxing is very willing to associate with Liao Fanmin, and is reluctant to associate with the boys in the class who are close to nerds.

"Happy birthday Liao Fanmin."

Jia Tianxing took out a pack of cigarettes and a bag of biscuits and handed them to Liao Fanmin.

"Jia Tianxing, how do you know my birthday."

Liao Fanmin had reason to be strange, even Xue Chuling didn't know the time of his eighteenth birthday, and Jia Tianxing, who had just transferred to the class for a short time, actually knew.

"I've always cared about my friends, you're my best friend, of course I know your birthday."

Liao Fanmin nodded and did not continue to ask.

"Thank you."

Today's high school students, no more than high school students in a few years, everyone cares about their own learning, no one cares about birthdays, and there will be no birthday banquet for classmates.

Jia Tianxing's gift, Daigo empowerment, reminded Liao Fanmin that in the future, we must pay attention to details in doing things, such as the birthday of our best friend, what difficulties we encountered, etc., only by caring about small things can we truly establish an unbreakable friendship.

Before the evening self-study began, Xu Hongmeng came outside the classroom in advance.

Most of the students were reviewing their homework in the classroom, and Liao Fanmin was called outside the classroom by Xue Chuling.

"Happy birthday Liao Fanmin."

Liao Fanmin looked at Xu Hongmeng and nodded silently.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your concern."

"You are already an adult, of course I want to congratulate, the first intensive training exam will be held in early April, I believe that your exam results will be further improved, the results will be better and better, your progress makes me feel gratified, this intensive training exam in early April, even if it is a birthday gift you gave yourself...

When he walked into the classroom, Liao Fanmin's steps were quite relaxed, and on his birthday, he received the blessings of his family, teachers and classmates, which was very warm.
