Chapter 37 The Importance of Traditional Festivals
After lunch, a room of people sat in the living room, eating melon seeds, biscuits, drinking tea, and chatting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The so-called men don't ask about careers, women don't ask about age, children don't ask about grades, but these are often the most common topics, but most of the people present are men, and they don't always bring up this kind of topic first, right? Even if there is a good mix, but the whole room is full of family, and it will not be brought up as if it is showing off to add to the family. So in the end, the most talked about must be the child's grades, no way, the child has no human rights, so the person named someone else's child is so annoying.
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Ling Xin, who was the only girl in the third generation, was of course the first to be mentioned, there was no way, saying that she was originally a scumbag, but now she has been promoted to "someone else's child".
"Xiaoxin has made great progress this year, and she hasn't fallen out of the top ten in her grade since last semester!" Li Ting hugged her daughter's shoulder with one hand, touched her daughter's ball head with the other, and said proudly.
"Really? Xiaoxin still didn't have a passing grade in a subject last year, how did she make so much progress this year? The second aunt wondered.
In fact, even Ling Xin's parents have this doubt, and Ling Xin has already thought of the "official explanation".
Ling Xin hugged her mother's waist, "I used to be ignorant and playful, every time my mother came back from attending my parent-teacher meeting, I was very envious of the parents of my classmates with good grades, but my parents never beat me or scolded me because of my bad grades, I think my mother loves me so much and I want to repay my mother!" Secretly reviewing throughout the summer vacation to give my mother a wake-up call. Oh, by the way, my brother also has credit for my good grades, and I ask my brother for a lot of questions. ”
If it was Ling Xin who couldn't say such a sensual thing before, but now that she has pretended to be a child and entered the role, isn't this trivial?
In fact, Li Ting also heard these words for the first time, it turned out that her daughter was so sensible and secretly working hard, she said, there is no success that does not require hard work, and her daughter must have made a lot of effort to achieve so much, right?
Li Ting hugged her daughter with one hand and touched her daughter's ball head with relief with the other. Sure enough, my daughter is an intimate little padded jacket!
A room of uncles, aunts and aunts watched Ling Xin's mother and daughter openly "show affection", and the villain in her heart had already bitten the little handkerchief, damn it, they really wanted a caring little padded jacket! A few boys in the family are not worried at all, and they are all bear children.
"Xiao Yue, didn't you say that you want to take the Jiangming City No. 4 Middle School? Learn more from your brother Hao! The second aunt patted her son Li Yue's vest and said.
Li Ting is the fourth among the siblings, but she had children earlier than the previous three brothers, so Ling Hao is the eldest child in this generation, and his consistently excellent results coupled with excellent basketball skills have always been the idols of these children of the same generation.
For this cousin Li Yue, although Ling Xin couldn't remember the other party's face at first, she still had an impression of other information, that was because a few years ago, her parents wanted to take a trip on a whim a few years ago, and then very irresponsibly sent the two children to their hometown to be taken care of by their grandparents, and of course their grandparents were also very happy, after all, the two old people still liked their grandchildren to stay by their side.
Then during that period of time, as the eldest child, Ling Hao of course took a group of children to play, and then taught his younger brothers basketball, there was no basketball court in the village, only in the school in the small town five miles away, so they ran out to play early in the morning every day, at that time Ling Xin remembered that she was still in the second grade of primary school, and it was impossible for the brothers to take this delicate porcelain doll-like sister to bask in the sun and climb five miles to play basketball, making her tired and sick and sunburned, and the grandparents who spoiled her at home didn't want to smoke people to death.
Every time Ling Xin woke up, she found that her brothers had gone out to play and didn't take her with her, so she was very impressed by this.
Under the leadership of Ling Hao, several cousins naturally fell in love with this interesting activity, and their skills improved very quickly, and the brothers together were already the strongest combination in the town middle school.
In fact, there are really not many people who play basketball in the town, and they can make up five teams when they are full, so the Li brothers can dominate the town after being trained by Ling Hao for a period of time.
As a member of the brothers who also love basketball, Li Yue, who is "invincible in the town", has long been "lonely", I heard Brother Hao say that there are many people who play basketball in the city, and they are simply "masters like clouds", and the Li brothers are several "masters" of the "invincible hands in the town" in the past, so Li Yue is very yearning for the city where "masters are like clouds".
This year, Li Yue is in the third year of junior high school, unlike the lobby brother in the second year of high school, and the brother in the first year of high school, he has the opportunity to go to the city to play basketball, that is, he will be admitted to the high school in the city, as for which school to be examined, of course, the fourth middle school in Jiangming City, where Brother Ling Hao is located, is the first choice. He has understood and investigated, the best basketball strength in several high schools in Jiangming City is the fourth middle school and the first middle school, of which the first middle school is the city's key middle school, and the score required to be admitted is very high, of course, the reason why the first middle school is ranked in front of the basketball strength as a key middle school is because it recruits basketball students, basketball students can reduce the score line a lot, and the school team of the first middle school is the basketball specialty students recruited by the low score. That's why the school, which was supposed to be a top student and a nerd, actually has one of the best basketball strengths.
Li Yue is desperate for the score line of No. 1 Middle School, as for the basketball specialty, in Ling Hao's words, Li Yue's skills are not worse than him in his club, and he is also a specialty? So there's no need to think about it.
The basketball strength of the fourth middle school is also recognized as strong, and although the score line is still a bit high for Li Yue, it is not unattainable, and you can still work hard, so the fourth middle school has become the first choice. If the only regret is that after he was admitted to the first year of high school in the fourth middle school next year, Ling Hao graduated, you must know that four of the five people in the current fourth high school are all juniors in high school, it is difficult to say how big a blow to the basketball strength of the fourth middle school after graduating from the third year of high school. When Li Yue became a member of the No. 4 Middle School, of course, he also hoped that his school would be stronger, rather than regressive.
"Work hard, you can, our club will depend on you in the future." Ling Hao smiled heartily and patted his cousin on the shoulder.
"Yes!" Li Yue looked at Ling Hao seriously and replied.
As if surprised by the other party's sudden seriousness, Ling Hao was stunned for a moment, and then continued to show a hearty smile and patted the other party's shoulder twice again.
A group of people sat in the living room watching TV and chatting for an afternoon, but Ling Xin fell asleep on her mother's shoulder halfway through and was carried to the room by her mother, and she didn't wake up until dinner started at night.
Carried by her mother to the dinner table, a large round table full of people, in fact, in China, the tradition of going home for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the New Year has not known how many years have continued, Ling Xin remembered that a netizen in her previous life once published an article saying that many traditional festivals are unnecessary, such as going home for a long time like Chinese New Year's Eve is just a meal, when can you not go home, when can you not eat? There are many potential safety hazards in the Spring Festival and other phenomena caused by these festivals, which cost people and money. Then the netizen came up with a variety of realistic views to greet all traditional festivals in China.
Ling Xin feels that this kind of festival is still very necessary, life has been in a hurry for decades, and it is not boring to think that she can do more and take more classes and make more money every day during the holidays? She feels that the ideal in life is for the ideal life, whether it is to study and learn skills or work to make money, it is nothing more than to pursue the ideal life, and the continuous repetition of learning to work and work every day has forgotten the original intention at the beginning, learning to work in class and work is just a means of pursuit, and enjoying life is the desired result. Of course, if you insist on saying that class, study, and work are really your ideal life, then Ling Xin said that she has nothing to say.
At least Ling Xin saw the family eating happily around the big red round table at this time, and she felt that these traditional festivals in China were really very important.
