Chapter 4 Be the Star
Li Chencan's home is outside the Third Ring Road, but it is next to the school.
Pushing open the door, the father did not return, and the mother embroidered with a needle in the light.
Like his home on another plane, his parents were the same, except that they were the same as when he was 18 years old.
However, the family in this time and space suffered bad luck.
"Coming back?" Li Chencan's mother, who was much younger, was busy with the work in her hands, so she just said casually.
"Hmm." Li Chencan nodded.
In order to save electricity, the lights at home were dimmed, and the mother who embroidered under the dim lamp looked like an art movie at this time, and she was particularly alive.
"Mom, let's turn on the lights." Li Chencan still said: "That's not good for your eyes." ”
"Well, I see, it's okay." Li Chencan's mother said: "When I'm hungry, I'll go to the bowl of noodles." ”
"Okay."
Everything was like my high school days.
It's just that the parents in this time and space have just experienced business failure, and the family has been in debt for a while, and it can be said that they are parents who call for wind and rain, but now they let the frost slowly fall on their hair, and they are many years old overnight. Although the empire is full of welfare, the vast land and the vast range of shili are enough to support the pleasures of the people, the light and the dark are always twins, even in the most perfect country, not everyone is rich, and for bankrupt families, poverty is also accompanied by their lives.
Li Chencan turned on the TV, and some simple 21-inch color TVs were playing news.
"The Imperial Ancient Poetry Association held a meeting in the capital, with more than 300 participants, all of whom have a good reputation in the industry and have achieved fruitful results, most of whom hold the Imperial First-Class Ancient Literature Researcher Certificate, and it is reported that this is another grand event of the ancient literature revival movement......
After traveling for so long, Li Chencan has already known that although the Chinese Empire and the United States are two economic, military, and political superpowers, the cultures of these two countries are not embarrassing, especially the Chinese Empire...... American culture is jokingly called 'hybrid culture', a kind of hybrid culture built by Western immigrants...... The Chinese Empire has a splendid civilization of 5,000 years, but after the Opium War, it was lost because of the people's doubts about their own culture, and many of the people of the empire were westernized, which made the empire very embarrassed.
Thus, from the beginning of the previous cabinet, the country began the revival of ancient literature...... It is hoped that the Chinese civilization can regain its sense of existence, and the language score of the empire will be increased from 150 to 200 points, and there will even be poems and lyrics, but the effect is not great......
The doorbell rang, and Li Chencan went over to open the door.
At the door stood a middle-aged man in his forties, with white hair on his temples, and behind him was a slim girl, carrying a schoolbag and a ponytail. The middle-aged man is Li Chencan's father Li Chaoyong, and the girl next to her is her sister Li Yingxue. The father and daughter came back together.
In another shijie, he also has the same sister and father, but in that shijie because of violating the JHSY policy, the family fined tens of thousands of dollars because of Li Yingxue. But this shijie, the citizens of the empire can have children at will, but the education level is high, so that most of the citizens of the empire are two children in a family.
"Why did you come back so early?" Li Chaoyong frowned, glanced at his handsome and handsome son, but sighed, and then said: "The monthly exam is coming soon, let's prepare for it......" Li Chencan was originally the pride of the sky and the biggest pride of the family, but with the failure of the family's business half a year ago, Li Chencan's studies actually plummeted, from the top five in the grade to the bottom five in the grade......
Li Chaoyong was very angry, but Li Chencan didn't seem to be studying hard, but what happened to him, after helplessness, Li Chaoyong could only accept this reality and no longer criticize Li Chencan.
The empire has entered the most enlightened and prosperous era, but even so, reading is still the most popular way out for everyone, especially the Li family, which has become a bankrupt family in debt, if you can't find a way out in reading, then Li Chencan may only become a low-level person, and even intertwined with some drugs, guns and other crimes.
"I'll be well prepared." Thinking that he already has a mind twice as smart, and the ability to never forget, and looking at the frost on Li Chaoyong's temples, Li Chencan's heart was slightly sour: "In the next monthly exam, I will go back to the top five ...... of the whole grade."
Li Chaoyong smiled at him, not believing it, but he didn't want to dampen his son's enthusiasm: "Do your best." ”
"Today, Lao Wang, they are coming to ask for debts again." Li Chencan's mother, Yang Yifang, rubbed her eyes from the embroidery, and raised her head to look at Li Chaoyong: "After lying in the living room for an hour or two, Zuihou took the refrigerator away. ”
Li Chaoyong's face was pale, as if he wanted to get angry, and then the anger fell again, the Li family now has more than two million foreign debts, although there are a lot of them, and they are also very unhappy, but they have no reason to blame these people for asking for debts.
"I'm sorry for you." For a long time, Li Chaoyong sat on the sofa, pulling his hair with both hands, Li Chencan's heart was sour, and he wanted to say something comforting, but he couldn't say it all of a sudden. Li Yingxue walked into the house slowly, didn't say hello to anyone, covered her delicate little head, and secretly shed tears in the bed.
When the Li family was rich, Li Yingxue was like a princess, with so many little sisters around her, and she lived a noble life, but now she ...... She can't even afford a piece of clothing, Li Yingxue can't blame her parents, she can only resent God's injustice to the fate of her family.
Li Chencan returned to his house, did not speak, did not review, he just took out the black notebook and wrote on the paper: Emperor Hongwu - Chapter 25 - Zhu Di waiting.
In the house, the discussion between the parents continued, and after careful consideration, Yang Yifang said cautiously: "Otherwise...... If it really doesn't work, let's ask for big brother again? He's not going to die, is he? ”
"......" Li Chaoyong was silent for a long time, then grabbed his hair and said: "It's not easy to talk about the eldest brother now, and you don't know that in order to settle our influence on him, he is now almost scattered with his family property." Besides, do you still want to see your sister-in-law's face? ”
Yang Yifang was silent.
Li Chaoyong secretly glanced at Li Chencan's room and made sure that he shouldn't hear it, so he whispered: "In the past, we always expected Xiao Can to be admitted to Yenching University and shine on the lintel, but now...... Alas, we are still going to send him to Jishu Academy to learn a jishu ...... I won't be worried in the future. Tuition fees are also high...... We're even worse off. ”
Yang Yifang also sighed faintly, how did Xiao Can become like this all of a sudden?
In the room, for some reason, Li Chencan, who had a much sharper ear, heard the conversation of his parents, and many things around him were clearly audible, and he could even hear the crying of his sister next door.
family finances, one's own academic performance......
God has given him such a great opportunity, and in this life, he will definitely become the brightest star.
