Chapter 19: The First Arrival
The summer sun is hot and hot on the earth.
It only took half an hour to get from the city to the compound in a jeep last night, and now Li Minghui took Li Xiao to ride a bicycle for an hour to get to the city, and his clothes were soaked, which means that Li Xiao will have to get up an hour earlier for school in the future. Fortunately, the summer is going to be hard in the winter, but fortunately, there are a few children about the same age as Li Xiao in the compound who can be companions
Walking in the city center with a strong atmosphere of the times, you can hear *** quotations on the radio from time to time.
Li Minghui first took Li Xiao to the supply and marketing cooperatives, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city are diverse, and because it is a border city, there are many special products.
Li Xiao doesn't need to buy anything, in this era, people basically take everything with them, except for the quilt, Li Xiao brings everything, because he can't afford it at all, even if he buys it, he doesn't have a ticket, unless you are particularly rich to buy a high-priced one, and although Li Xiao thinks that she has a little money, she kept it to buy a house
In the end, it was Li Minghui who made the decision and forcibly bought Li Xiao a pair of sandals and a set of clothes, and then pulled two pieces of fabric and bought two pairs of shoes for the two old men. Li Xiao estimated that his father must have taken out all his savings, and as for Li Yan's father, he also said that she had already bought them, so the two of them went to the city high school after buying these.
There are three high schools in Yunshi, namely the first high school, the second high school and the national high school, the best of which is naturally the first high school, with strong teachers and good teaching conditions. The second high school is a high school brush down students, the school conditions in all aspects are a little worse than the first high school, but it is much better than the national high school, the national high school as the name suggests is a minority school in Yunshi, which not only recruits ethnic minority students but also recruits some local students who just get to the score line, you can imagine the quality of teaching and the school atmosphere
Li Xiao took the first place in the city in Nanshi, and naturally wanted to go to a high school, and Li Minghui had already found someone to help her transfer her school status or something.
The two men said hello to the doorman and went into the school to visit. The school has a history of more than 20 years, with green trees, beautiful environment and strong cultural atmosphere, Li Xiao is very satisfied with the place to stay in the next three years
After the two of them visited most of the campus, the sun was already hanging high in the middle of the sky, and Li Minghui took Li Xiao to the state-run hotel for lunch
Li Xiao ordered the braised pork, steamed fish and a green vegetable, and said with a little tsundere hugging Li Minghui's arm
"Dad, I'll pay for this meal, so that you can spend the money your daughter earns in advance"
"Oh, what does this mean, you little villain, what's hiding from your father" Li Minghui raised his eyebrows and pinched his daughter's little nose
"What, Daddy, don't pinch my nose all the time, it's going to be unsightly"
Li smiled and replied, and then pouted and replied to Li Minghui's words, "How can I hide it from you, I'm not telling you now?"
"Oh, then you hurry up and confess leniently," Li Minghui sat for a long time
Li Xiao muttered a few words and told her about the fact that she had been writing novels since last year, and she really didn't want to hide it from Li Minghui, but she hadn't written her grades at the beginning, so she was embarrassed to write to him and tell him. Now there are two light novels, and the children's stories have been published very steadily, and the manuscript fee in her hand is six or seven hundred, and she plans to buy a house in the city, so it's time to tell her dad everything, otherwise my dad will be sad when he suddenly mentions buying a house and taking out so much money.
In fact, Li Minghui is a little uncomfortable now, of course, he is very happy that his daughter has such talent and ability, and he even wants everyone to know how good his baby daughter is, but as long as he thinks that his daughter has grown to such an extent in a place he doesn't know, he is very sad. He felt that he was not a good father, that he was not by his daughter's side, that he was not involved in her development
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he looked at his father, who had been silent, a little anxious, what was going on, why did his father seem to be a little sad, and he was anxious for fear that his father would misunderstand her, so he immediately hugged his father's arm and asked coquettishly
"Dad, what's wrong with you, why are you unhappy, don't be angry with your smile, smile and be sad to see you unhappy" said and said that tears really flowed
Li Minghui panicked as soon as he saw his baby daughter crying, and he threw aside any sadness and self-blame, and immediately coaxed him
"Good baby, dad is not angry with you, don't cry, if you cry again, your father's heart will break"
"Really~really? Then why are you ~ why are you unhappy" Li Xiao didn't know why he couldn't stop, maybe because he loved his father too much, because he cared because of love, and he cared about every attitude he had towards himself
"Little fool, Dad is not angry with you, Dad is angry with himself, Dad has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, he is not a good father" Li Minghui was stunned
Li Xiao looked at Li Minghui blankly, forgetting to shed tears, and only after a while did he react and threw himself into Li Minghui's arms and said
"Dad, do you know, in my heart, you are not only the best father in the world, but also a man who stands up to the sky, and you are the favorite of Xiaoxiao"
Over the years, no matter how many injuries Li Minghui has suffered, no matter how aggrieved he is, he has never had the urge to shed tears. But the moment I heard my daughter say this, it really took a lot of effort to restrain the urge to cry, and at this moment, my daughter's affirmation and love for him even surpassed everything
"Xiaoxiao, you have to remember that you are the most important thing to your father, no matter what the circumstances, don't let yourself be wronged, if you force yourself to make yourself unhappy, then your father is the saddest"
"Well, I know, don't worry, I won't force myself no matter what the situation, I want to live happily every day" Li Xiao knew that her father must be worried that she would reluctantly wronged herself for the sake of family harmony, but Li Xiao knew that she might give in on some small issues, and if she touched her bottom line, she would not hesitate to fight back
"As long as you are happy and happy, your father is the happiest, well, the aunt who served the food is here, when do you still have to hide in your father's arms and cry" Li Minghui touched his daughter's head and teased him
"Wow, Dad is so bad, he made people cry and now he laughs at people again, I ignore you" Li smiled and decided that she would not talk to Dad for ten minutes
Li Minghui smiled sullenly, and when the dishes came up, he kept saying good things to his daughter, and finally coaxed his little princess well
In the end, Li Minghui paid for the meal secretly, because according to him, there was no man who stood up to the sky to let the underage girl invite him to dinner, Li Xiao was speechless when he heard this, is this lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?
