Chapter VIII: Routine inspections

The first psychological counseling work was very rough and sloppy. I thought about asking Mu Qing about the follow-up of the matter in a few days, but the next day I learned that she had asked for leave.

Although you can ask what is going on through your mobile phone, in Si Li's opinion, this approach is a bit abrupt and really inappropriate.

After all, their relationship wasn't that good.

Soon after, it's midterm exams. The first mid-term examination for new students in this school is particularly important, not only has the credit assessment requirements, but also the top ranked students in each department have the opportunity to apply to become exchange students, and the school will fund them to study in prestigious foreign universities. Such a great opportunity is really rare, and the new students are full of energy. In order to ensure the efficiency of students' revision, schools usually set aside two weeks of suspension for revision. During these two weeks, the library was crowded. In the 24-hour study hall, many new students worked all night to fight for this precious opportunity.

However, Si Li felt that the moon at home was rounder than abroad, and he was not interested in studying abroad. In his opinion, if you want to acquire knowledge, you only need to have the heart wherever you are. The school is just a carrier, and its pros and cons are not determined by fame. In this age of interconnectivity, there's nothing you can't get out of it. Moreover, his major is only theoretical, but in practice, it requires more exploration of human nature, the art of communication, and the savings of connections. Furthermore, the Chinese culture, which has been inherited for thousands of years and the wisdom of its predecessors, is the world's longest, richest and deepest knowledge system. is the so-called supremacy of learning, shouldn't this make him study and refine in depth? In short, in his opinion, going abroad is like losing the recognition of Chinese civilization.

Therefore, with his patriotism and adhering to the four-character principle of "long live passing", during this period of time, he only planned to occasionally read books at night and practice a few questions, and he had to enjoy his life during the day. At the same time, the experience has also been successfully passed, and the psychological center has also stopped classes, and the mentality of only seeking no fault and not seeking progress has become his indulgent capital during this period.

However, the ancient saying that everything is difficult at the beginning is unreasonable.

It's just that this is difficult, and it is also sad, but it has a bit of meaning.

The first day of Happy Hour......

"Dude? Eldest brother? Hello...... Haven't you woken up yet? A slightly immature and cute voice came from the end of the mobile phone, which was left at the head of the bed and turned on the speaker.

"Who! What are you doing? Isn't this a holiday? Lying on the bed, Si Li closed her eyes and replied impatiently and "weakly". During his time in the psychological center, he had heard many delicate voices of female students in the same class, so he gradually stopped being excited about it. Instead, I suspect that some uninteresting female classmate is joking. At the same time, he secretly scolded him in his heart.

"Hey! I'm your little sister. Brother, did you sleep like a stupid dog? Got off for school shortly after school started? Isn't this National Day already over? The little sister was surprised to drop a series of questions.

"Don't disturb me sleeping, okay? Our school has free and easy activities for these two weeks. At this time, Si Li could hear that it was Xiaomei's phone, and pulled the phone closer with her hand to look at the time.

It's only 9 o'clock in the morning. I was even more unhappy in my heart, thinking that if it weren't for my little sister, I would have hung up the phone and blocked it a long time ago.

"Yo! Cool brother! Are colleges so comfortable? I'm starting to envy and look forward to my college life. When the little sister said this, she inexplicably had a little sour taste.

"There's something to say, there's nothing to hang up. I don't have time to pay attention to you, I want to sleep! Silly grew impatient.

This phone call was defined by him as a routine check, which must have been the meaning of the mother at home. I want to use the hand of my little sister to know his whereabouts.

He's so old, and his beloved mother still hasn't let him go?

"Guess where I am?"

……

"I'm with you. Come out and take me to play! For the silence and snubbing of the eldest brother, the younger sister was a little angry. She put away her playful tone.

"What?" Si Li instantly sobered up, and sat up with a carp straightening: "What are you doing here?" Don't you attend classes? When will it be ......?"

"The navigation says it's about a 30-minute drive from me to you. See you at the gate in 30 minutes! Bye bye you and ......" The little sister didn't wait for her brother to finish speaking, so she reported the time and hung up the phone. Especially in the last sentence, the gritted teeth that want to take revenge can be reproduced through the voice. The little sister wants to regain her authority. She wanted her brother to know. This family can only be her to bear him.

"Holy." At this moment, he took a closer look at his phone. It's 9:27 a.m. Beijing time, and the call record clearly shows Xiaomei's name.

It's not a dream!

Around 10 o'clock, the little female devil at home was about to arrive.

Is this the top "check" method that everyone has spread on the Internet?

He looked around the dorm room. Among the three brothers, two have already gone to the library to review, and only Zhang Wei is watching the anime with relish on the paralyzed bed.

"Yo, wake up so early. There are no classes today! It's time to sleep, it's time to eat. You and I both said long live passing. Zhang Wei, who heard the sound of Si Li getting up, teased in surprise.

"Are you going on a date? That phone call can't be from the class leader, right? I heard that Miss Liu is also coming back soon, shouldn't you be going to pick her up? I really advise you not to hide it, a lot of people know about you. Zhang Wei saw that Sili did not answer him, and was very suspicious of his appearance of hurriedly washing up after getting up.

"Shut up! I don't agree with that figure. Brushing her teeth, Si Li still had to use her mobile phone to find out where to play, eat and break money today. If the little princess of his family does not serve well, she will suffer. Regarding Zhang Wei's questioning, he felt that there was no point in quibbling.

However, while thinking about these things, he was distracted, and found a question in his brother's words: "What does it mean that so many people know about me and her?" ”

"Look at you, you haven't dealt with the romance with Mu Qing at dusk, right? Not only did I see it that day, but many people saw it. You don't say it, so everyone doesn't ask and don't gossip. Regarding the fourth child's question, Zhang Wei's words carried a cool taste, mixed with this feeling of envy.

Si Li, who was brushing his teeth, was stunned, looked back at the "good" brother, and was angry: "Are you so kind?" Anyone who has a bit of morality, you should help me explain it! And what did you see that day? If you don't kiss or hug, what's the problem? ”

"You look very serious when you quibble, and you're manly enough. You don't know that this love thing doesn't have to be kissed and hugged to prove its existence. Let's take that day as an example, the reason why I think you have a drama is because of her wanton emotional expression and casual sitting posture beside you. You're still a student in the psychological center, and you can't see such a thing clearly? I don't think your quarrel during this time is meaningless, nothing. Zhang Wei's words are full of praises and disparagements, but more of them are sighs for his brother's incompetence.

"Okay, okay, when I'm done with today, you can give me another lesson." With a mouthful full of toothpaste foam, Sili replied. The memory of that day is replaying repeatedly in his mind, but it may be difficult to get a glimpse of the slightest clue due to the interference of the little sister's investigation. In the end, I can only put this matter aside and discuss it later. After all, receiving a good little sister is the most important thing at the moment. This is a master who cannot be provoked.

"Let's go, see you in the evening." Si Li said hello to Zhang Wei and prepared to go out.

"Take precautions!" Men's thinking is always so elegant, and Zhang Wei is no exception. He jokingly watched his brother who hurried out, and there was great envy in his heart.

The seasons in this city are very strange, there is a lack of spring and autumn, only summer and winter. At this time, it is early winter outside, and the temperature has already dropped below 15 degrees. Standing at the school gate, Si Li held an umbrella in his left hand and a bottle of his little princess's favorite yogurt in his right hand. I looked at my phone, and the time was just fixed at 10 o'clock.

Within a few minutes, a taxi pulled up in front of Si Li.

Slip gentlemanly opened the rear door. A slightly childish girl jumped off.

"Brother, it's the first time you've been so punctual." The little girl smiled and teased Si Li.

"Go, go, go. Why are you here with us? Si Li saw that the little girl in front of her was dressed very charmingly today. Off-white long dress, light makeup. Since he went to college, he often pays attention to the dress of the girls around him. Because of the lack of school uniforms for girls in college, all kinds of dresses began to bloom. At this time, the little sister, although her temperament is a little bit like that of high school, is more of a girl in college. What's even more strange is that the more I look at the little sister's dress, the more I feel that she is out of the same house as Mu Qingru, but her temperament is a little similar to Xiao Mu.

"Match, tomorrow at 2 p.m." The little sister said lightly, and took out the invitation from her satchel.

"National Mathematics Olympiad High School Group ......" Si Li, who was more and more proud, touched her little sister's head and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect you to have something in your pig head." Not bad! It's like my own sister. ”

"Pull it down, you're a pig." The little sister was a little angry when she saw her brother so mocking, but her angry demeanor seemed to be disguised.

"Then why don't you hurry up and review it? This award is so important, and your school values you so much, you can't ...... "Xiaomei is studying well, and the family is obvious to all." But she has the same problem as her brother, that is, she is overconfident, and she has never failed to review and check the questions before the exam. Although Si Li asked, he knew in his heart that this question was also in vain.

"Will you review?" The little sister interrupted the nagging rebuttal, which was a little expected.

"Okay. In this case, hope is placed on heaven and earth. The helplessness shown by Sili is also a bit hypocritical. At this point, the topic is difficult to continue. He had not yet eaten breakfast and humbly changed the topic: "Why don't you go to dinner first?" ”

"What time is it? I had breakfast at 8 o'clock, so what lunch did I have before 11 o'clock? The little sister who looked at her phone began to deeply suspect that her eldest brother was a pig. But when she saw her brother's weak white lips, her heart softened: "Forget it, go ahead." You're the head of the land, and you're fine. But I'm going to eat the most authentic regional food. ”

Si Li didn't say anything back, pushed her little sister and walked to the school.

Taking this opportunity, he can just go to verify the rumors in the rivers and lakes about the delicious and authentic small restaurant on the third floor of the Osmanthus Food Garden.

It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the restaurant.

"Are you sure this shop is hot and delicious? Or are you just going to bring me to eat this? Can you stop being so picky? In front of the restaurant, Xiaomei was a little suspicious that this old brother was playing tricks on her?

Admittedly, if you don't see it, you won't know it, and you will be shocked when you explore it. The scene in front of them was really beyond the expectations of the two:

At the top of the gate, the dusty restaurant signboard is engraved with the four big characters of the student restaurant. The cheesy name and the upright font give people a sense of mediocrity.

On both sides of the gate, there are two pots of greenery. It's just that this green plant lacks careful offerings, and it looks so decadent and depressed.

But compared to the atmosphere of the greenery, the restaurant has the opposite lively atmosphere. They may all be people who eat two meals at the same time as Si Li.

"That's it, I don't like to eat it." Si Li didn't refute and walked straight in.

"Are you sure the food is delicious? Meet my appetite? You should know that my taste is very chewy, and I also pursue a sense of ritual or something......" Xiaomei hurriedly followed.

"A la carte!" Silly interrupted her and turned to press her to the chair.

After that, Xiaomei stopped struggling. Because she knew it was futile, and all she could do was order food obediently.

Silly sat down and began to look around.

The dΓ©cor of this restaurant is not equal to its reputation in the rivers and lakes. Indoor and outdoor are the same, the same old and simple. That lamp, the dim shade of the lampshade, must have been white years ago, right? There is also a chandelier at the top of the front desk at the door, but the lamp has already lost its light in a few places, and there are still a few defects, but it still casts a warm light. The ceiling is so yellowed that I can't guess what it looks like, and from time to time you can find rebellious edges warped out. On the shelf, within reach, there are beer bottle caps, bottle pickers, and pens for recording. The shelves are very deep, and there are some bottles and cans, such as beverage bottles, sauce jars, etc. However, from the dust covered in it, you can tell that it is empty. When I looked back at the table and chair where I was, I found that the outermost layer had long been worn out to be shiny and smooth, and the panels inside showed multiple layers of clear texture. The table top was covered with a large rubber mat, but it was too dull yellow to see. The chopstick box and toothpick holder with advertisements on the table all tell the casualness of this shop. Fortunately, the chopsticks are disposable, and there is a layer of film on the outside to protect them.

"I can't believe you brought me to eat at a restaurant like this." Just as Si Li pulled open a pair of chopsticks to examine it carefully, Xiaomei put down the menu and questioned again.

"Hurry up and order, I'm hungry." As Silly spoke, the waiter brought china dishes and a large basin of hot water for scalding dishes. Although the city is thousands of miles away from the Fuguang area, where pre-meal disinfection is prevalent, the great integration of the country has allowed this habit to spread everywhere. Over time, he has also become accustomed to and learned such movements. And the little sister looked at it with disdain. It is understandable that she usually uses dishes and chopsticks that have been sterilized and packaged by others when she goes out to eat, and she doesn't need to do it herself. There are not many such fly restaurants.

"Then I'll have to get a little more." Although it had been boiled, the little sister still took the tableware with a little disgust and put it on the table to look at it carefully. Later, in front of the orderer, she vented her anger: "I want this...... Belch...... And this...... Here it is again...... This is not bad, for a ......" dinner for two people, she ordered 6 dishes.

"What are you doing here? Can you finish eating? Si Li knew that the little sister was taking revenge, and he still asked knowingly.

"Anyway, I don't care if you have a treat." Xiaomei was very disdainful and played with her mobile phone again.

The efficiency of the restaurant was ok, about 15 minutes later, and all the food was served. But Si Li regretted it, and was uncomfortable because the meal cost him about 200 yuan. If you knew this, it would be better to take your little sister to eat the barbecue that both of you love, which would only cost more than 100 yuan. Xiaomei is also regretting it. She had never seen a meal of this size, and she thought that she could do it without rice and just vegetables, but now it seemed that the sour soup and fish fillet alone would support her. The rice on the corner of the table is measured by the rice cooker, which is also beyond imagination.

"Eat, didn't you skip breakfast?" The anger in the little sister's tone came from nowhere. Is it self-blame? Or is it dissatisfied?

Sili smiled bitterly and moved her chopsticks.

During the banquet, Si Li kept eating. The little sister kept taking pictures while eating and posted them to the sister group and family group, as if she wanted to arouse everyone's public opinion and accuse her brother of poor hospitality.

However, discarding all other external factors and the taste of this meal alone, Xiaomei and Si Li were conquered by this restaurant. The two did not hesitate to impose their known praises on each dish. Such as fish-flavored shredded meat, boasting that a fishless is better than a fish; For example, the sour soup fish fillet is extremely delicious. The big pot of yellow stewed chicken was pressed in front of her by the little sister, and she didn't want to share it with others.

The brother and sister were feasting, Wu Di, Zhang Wei, Xiao Mu and Mu Qing, who had been missing for a long time, appeared by Si Li's side. The four of them stopped to look at it, and Zhang Wei also teased in a weird way: "Huh? Boss, happiness. ”

"My sister, just come to see me" may be due to Wu Di's tall figure and the angle of vision, Si Li didn't notice the existence of Mu Qing and Xiao Mu, and waved his hand very rudely to signal the brothers to hurry away.

"Haha, it's not like ...... It's not like ......" Wu Di seemed to be infected, and he became angry. At the same time, it dragged everyone away with "interest".

When Xiao Mu and Mu Qing walked out of Si Li's field of vision, he already knew in his heart that he couldn't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River. Lonely men and widows, lunch together. Moreover, during the meal, Si Li also put vegetables in the bowl of the little sister from time to time, and several times even sent them directly to her mouth. It's impossible for anyone not to think about all of this. In the future, his market has shrunk infinitely, but he can only feel helpless.

"Who are those?" The little sister tilted her head sideways, looked at the backs of those people leaving, and asked while eating.

"My classmates!" Slim replied weakly, having lost all her appetite.

"That girl is good, that tall ......" the little sister began to comment on the departing people.

"Hurry up and eat......" Si Li interrupted the topic of the little sister, and put down her chopsticks and quietly looked out the window.

Outside the window, the four of them walked on the school road, talking and laughing.

In all things, the sun is shining.

But Si Li's heart was unusually gloomy.
