Chapter 4 I'm Sorry
The banquet was over, and my father sat there and counted and calculated, and began to comment on today's banquet, as if he was doing a self-review, saying that if it wasn't for the Seventh Master's urgency, it should be better to get better, and the opportunity was to grab it, but the banquet was too rough, the egg rolls were full of holes, the balls were too loose and not sticky, the time for yellow flower soaking was too short, there was an earthy smell, and the folds of the pig's head and pig's trotters were full of pig hair.
Li Jiatao has always felt that his father is a very rough person, he never pays attention to the food, and he picks it up in his mouth without looking at it, like filling a pit, but he didn't expect to be so careful.
In the evening, the movies were played, and the old ones "Shaolin Kid" and "Wudang" were played, Li Jiatao really didn't get up to watch it, but it was more lively than the New Year at the door of his house.
The next day, my father came back from Wang Biao's house to eat a banquet, he was very excited, saying that there were not as many people as our family, and the banquet was also very thin, saying that it was ten bowls, all of which were three or five pieces of meat in a bowl, all of which were fat, and a chicken was on three tables, and the balls were only the size of a finger, and they also received a gift.
"Our family didn't take the gift, why did his family accept it." The boss Li Jiaquan wondered.
"Anyway, it's not as good as our family, it's better to receive some gifts and be more affordable." His father's words made Li Jiatao completely speechless.
On the third day, my father asked Li Jiatao to dig the soil with a hoe on his back, saying that there is no shortage of labor in the family, but if you win the emperor's list, you have to dig the soil, and people who do great things have to be like this, do not forget their roots, don't go to the sky as soon as they gain power, so that people will raise you and praise you on the surface, but behind them will scold you and step on you.
After digging for two days, two blisters appeared on Li Jiatao's palm, which hurt and hurt. Li Jiatao did not cry out in pain, but he deeply agreed with his father's words. Because my father is a farmer, he may have such and such shortcomings, but in the principle of being a man, there is no ambiguity at all in terms of right and wrong.
Although the family felt that it was very glorious when he was admitted to university, his father repeatedly admonished his children in private, saying that no matter what others say, we must not be arrogant, let alone arrogant, and what was the same before.
Therefore, the family is more modest and low-key in front of people than in the past, and it is almost like the whole nod and bow like himself.
Li Jiatao's father's admonition moved Li Jiatao very much, but he was a little unimpressed. With Li Jiatao's experience in officialdom in later life, Li Jiatao knows very well that the more modest in this situation gives people the feeling of being more proud and more public.
Li Jiatao wanted to talk to Wang Biao and explain clearly. But after going twice, Wang Biao was not at home, and Li Jiatao pondered that Wang Biao was deliberately avoiding himself, so he had to give up.
finally waited for the college entrance examination to fill in the volunteers, Li Jiatao got up early and rushed to Wang Biao's house.
"Coming?" Wang Biao had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw Li Jiatao, he stepped on the bicycle with a smile, "Let's go." ”
Li Jiatao always felt that Wang Biao's smile was far-fetched, but he felt that he might be too careful.
Along the way, Li Jiatao always had nothing to say, and he hoped that Wang Biao could talk about teachers, classmates, girls, and the future as freely as before. But Wang Biao was obviously absent-minded and kept perfunctory.
Later, Li Jiatao simply stopped talking. In this way, Wang Biao still rode a bicycle to take Li Jiatao to the county No. 1 Middle School, and did not take turns riding a bicycle.
When I arrived at the gate of the county No. 1 Middle School, I happened to meet a few classmates, Xu Lei was also one of them, wearing a white dress, a white red face, a beautiful face, and a tall figure, which stood out among several classmates, and was particularly dazzling.
"You know what? This year's admission score has been lowered by five points. After giggling, the fast-mouthed Liu Xiaoman immediately released shocking news. In fact, this news was announced a few days earlier, but Li Wangzhuang's transportation was inconvenient and the information was blocked, and Li Jiatao and Wang Biao didn't know.
As soon as they heard this, Li Jiatao and Wang Biao were overjoyed.
"Biaozi, you're on the college line." Li Jiatao patted Wang Biao's shoulder hard, and took advantage of the situation to hug Wang Biao's shoulder.
Wang Biao's face was stiff and finally showed a smile, and it took a long time before he came out: "In this way, you can just go to the key undergraduate line." ”
After Wang Biao's reminder, Li Jiatao calculated his score, and really passed the key undergraduate score line, and couldn't help but start to groan. Soon, Li Jiatao had a bold decision in his heart.
As soon as he hesitated and groaned, Li Jiatao's footsteps suddenly stopped unconsciously, and Xu Lei, who had been quite reserved and walking at the end, was caught off guard, and her body suddenly hit Li Jiatao's right arm.
"Hmm-" Xu Lei snorted, her voice inaudible.
Li Jiatao heard that the voice was a little weird, and something was wrong, and he immediately reacted, just now his elbow seemed to touch the softest and firmest part of Xu Lei's body.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Li Jiatao, who is a man of two lives, is naturally very experienced in dealing with this kind of scene, and immediately cleared himself, after all, he was suspected of deliberately rubbing girl oil. Immediately afterwards, Li Jiatao added with concern: "Lei Lei, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Xu Lei panicked, and a blush rose on her face, which was very enchanting and charming. hated Li Jiatao in her heart, but Xu Lei lowered her head and said in a low voice.
Xu Lei still has a good impression of Li Jiatao, a boy who has been at the same table for three years. Of course, it's just the goodwill part, that's all. Xu Lei knew very well in her heart that Li Jiatao was a very measured boy, and even a little shy, and he definitely didn't mean to take advantage of himself.
"I'm going to die, don't you know if you can't say this kind of thing?" Xu Lei scolded Li Jiatao several times in her heart, "The more you describe it, the darker it gets, it's really stupid, idiot......"
Sure enough, as soon as Li Jiatao apologized, the classmates who walked in front all stopped, turned around and looked at Li Jiatao and Xu Lei with strange expressions.
How did Xu Lei know that the little boy at the same table was no longer the Wuxia Amon he used to be, and the apology and greetings just now may not be without a mischievous taste!
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Jiatao sneered, "I'm discussing with Lei Lei about filling in the college entrance examination, Lei Lei wants to fill in Chunan University, and I suggest that she fill in Huaqing University in Beijing." ”
As soon as Li Jiatao said this, he immediately diverted the attention of several young classmates, which made Xu Lei breathe a sigh of relief. But Xu Lei immediately found out that Li Jiatao was actually winking at herself, and she couldn't help but be ashamed, and threw a lethal health ball to Li Jiatao.
But Xu Lei immediately felt that something was wrong, and Li Jiatao was not a roundworm in his stomach, how did he know that he wanted to apply for Chunan University and take a safe route?
Discussing the question of filling in the college entrance examination volunteers, the group soon came to the classroom, where the head teacher Huang Keming was waiting for him.
This year's liberal arts repeater class did well, with 15 of the 40 students who applied for the exam online, with an online rate of more than 30 percent, which is better than Huang Keming's estimate. Therefore, Huang Keming was smiling and in a good mood.
