Chapter 21: Parents' Expectations
"It's a pity that this wrestler talisman also has a time limit, and it is just a simple increase in strength. If all those thugs had rushed up just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to defeat them. It seems that I need to hurry up and learn those moves that the crazy old man passed down to me!"
From the memory of the crazy old man, Lin Ye also found a lot of moves similar to martial arts masters, but they had to be combined with aura or merit cultivation to be effective.
This also strengthened Lin Ye's determination to do more good deeds and accumulate merits, and it also made Lin Ye deeply doubt in his mind, Uncle Lei Feng, who "traveled a thousand miles on business and did a train of good deeds", could it be that he also got a similar inheritance of cultivation merits?
"Mom! I'm back......"
When he returned home, Lin Ye smelled the strong aroma of chicken soup, as well as the birthday longevity noodles that his mother gave him.
"Xiao Ye, it's only a month before the college entrance examination, how are you studying?" asked Lin Changsheng, his father, who had always been silent, at the dinner table.
"Also...... Ok......"
At home, Lin Ye was most afraid of being asked by his parents about his academic performance, so he could only bow his head and drink chicken soup, not daring to face his father.
"What's okay, little rabbit, last time I went to a parent-teacher conference, your homeroom teacher, Mr. Su, told me that your grades couldn't even reach the two colleges. Mom and Dad worked so hard to make you study, you couldn't even get into a decent university. What kind of books do you still study, the kind of three colleges with high tuition fees, your parents will definitely not be able to afford you, and if you can't get two books in the exam, don't read them, go out to work!"
As soon as Lin Ye's grades were mentioned, Lin's mother angrily put the chopsticks on the dining table and reprimanded Lin Ye, "In two days, it will be the last quality inspection exam in your third year of high school, and you don't review it seriously, and you sleep lazily all day long." If you don't do well in the exam, there will definitely be no hope for the college entrance examination......"
"Alright! alright...... Gui Zhen, today is Xiao Ye's birthday, so I won't talk about this...... Come, Xiao Ye, eat chicken legs...... The old hen that has been raised at home for two years is ......"
Seeing that his wife was angry, Lin Changsheng hurriedly rounded the field and sandwiched a chicken leg for Lin Ye. And Lin Ye could only bury his head in eating, and did not dare to talk back to his mother.
Mother Ye Guizhen also fell silent after speaking, and the family did not speak, eating silently. These few minutes were as long as centuries for Lin Ye, and when he finally finished eating the longevity noodles in the bowl, Lin Ye hurriedly got off the table: "I've finished eating...... Go back to your room and review!"
When he returned to the bedroom and turned out the textbooks for the first and second years of high school, Lin Ye's heart was really uncomfortable. In the past three years, his academic performance has been the tail of the crane, not only can he not raise his head among his classmates in school, he is often ridiculed by several classmates with good grades, but also makes his parents lose face in front of neighbors and relatives.
However, from today onwards, Lin Ye made up his mind that he must seize the time to make up all the homework he had pulled down before, and in this quality inspection exam, he will get a good score and prove it to his parents.
"Gui Zhen, don't blame Xiao Ye. If you don't do well in the exam, you can't do it, so let Xiao Ye go to three colleges! Books always have to be read. If you don't have a bachelor's degree in the future, will you still do rough work like us in the future?"
After Lin Ye left the dinner table, Father Lin whispered to his wife. However, Lin Ye still heard the sound of his parents talking in the bedroom, and hurriedly opened the bedroom door and looked out through a crack.
"Lao Lin, what do you say is going on? Obviously, Xiao Ye's grades in high school were not bad, why did he become like this as soon as he entered high school? It must be that the little rabbit cub sneaks to the Internet café to play games all day long. But it's too late to say anything now, the tuition fees of the three colleges and universities are tens of thousands of dollars a year, and the family's savings are not much, or ...... When the time comes, I'll ask a few of my brothers to borrow a little ......," Lin Mu also shook her head and said.
"No, my son Lin Changsheng is in college, even if he smashes pots and sells iron, I will provide for it myself. I won't let your brothers look down on ......."
As soon as he mentioned this, Lin Changsheng's face became serious, but he looked at his wife and said with guilt, "Gui Zhen, I'm sorry, when you married me despite the opposition of your father and several brothers, I, Lin Changsheng, promised to let your mother and son live a good life, right...... It's me who is useless, it's me who broke my promise...... Now I can't even afford my son to go to college...... You...... You must regret marrying me!"
"No, Lao Lin, what are you talking about. Drink more chicken soup and sleep soundly. Little rabbit cubs, the chicken legs can't be eaten cleanly......" Mother Lin smiled, picked up the chicken legs on the table that Lin Ye hadn't eaten clean, and gnawed on them.
Lin Ye, who secretly saw this scene from the crack in the bedroom door, suddenly felt sour in his heart, especially when he saw his father's worried expression and his mother's forced smile, Lin Ye felt very sorry for his parents, how ignorant he was before!
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. This time, I won't disgrace you again. ”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye was full of motivation, returned to the desk, and began to quickly turn over from the textbook of the first year of high school, memorizing all the pages and books.
Until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Ye was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and he could basically memorize a book every ten minutes. Now Lin Ye has completely memorized the high school textbooks, but there are still some reference books and workbooks and the like, if Lin Ye wants to get a high score, he must work harder.
"After studying for so long, my brain is a little swollen, so I went for a walk in the yard and ...... Let's see if Sister Ying is back today? It's so embarrassing today, when I helped Teacher Su buy the 'Seven Degrees Space', I was bumped into by Sister Ying. ”
Lin Ye stretched his waist and walked out of the house, the yard was full of neighbors, carrying small benches, sitting under the big tree to chat in the shade, and a few old men were playing chess with the faint street lamp.
"Yo, isn't this Lin Ye who claims to be in the top 50 in his grade and chases the school flower as his girlfriend? Uncles and aunts, Lin Ye from our institute is amazing, and today he is famous in Jianning No. 1 Middle School......
Hearing this sound like a duck's voice, Lin Ye sighed in his heart and said secretly, "Oh no! This damn Xu Wenliang is too yin, and he actually passed back those gossips in the school......
Xu Wenliang, who was preaching Lin Ye's "deeds" in school everywhere in the courtyard, had been at odds with Lin Ye since he was a child, his grades before high school were not as good as Lin Ye's, and he couldn't beat Lin Ye in a fight, so he always held a grudge against Lin Ye, and now that high school is in Jianning No. 1 Middle School, Lin Ye's grades have plummeted, and Xu Wenliang is the most proud.
Moreover, every time Lin Ye caused something in school, was late and was criticized or the like, Xu Wenliang would always send these news back in time, so that Lin Ye did not eat his mother Ye Guizhen's "fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots".
