Chapter 72: Xiao Hong's Noodles, Hongmen Banquet?
An Ran didn't have a mother when she was very young, she regarded Xiao Hong as her own mother and never refused her kindness.
What Xiao Hong gave her was unbelievable maternal love. So even though she was already full to her throat, she still forced herself to eat this bowl of noodles.
When An Ran pulled out the stool and sat down, Xiao Hong also sat down.
Intuition told Lin Xiao that Xiao Hong had something to say next. He immediately pulled up a chair and sat down, but did not eat noodles.
Sure enough, a minute later.
An Ran sucked the third mouthful, Xiao Hong smiled and said, "An Ran, is this college entrance examination abnormal?"
"It's okay, one shouldn't be a problem."
"What about Xiao Xiao? Is there a big difference in your grades? ”
An Ran chewed twice, thinking that the difference of 70 points could indeed be described by the word "extraordinarily large".
So, she nodded, "It should be, if Lin Xiao plays at his usual level, Qingda, Beihua should be fine." ”
"Qingda, Beihua?" Xiao Hong looked at Lin Xiao, and his eyes obviously flashed brightly.
Before this, Lin Xiao had never discussed school with Xiao Hong, and Xiao Hong only knew that Lin Xiao was good in the exam, but he didn't know that he was so good that he could go to Qing University.
Up to now, Xiao Hong and An Ran's conversation is normal, like a normal elder saying to a junior.
But the unexpected happened in the back.
Xiao Hong didn't bask in joy for too long, because she had more important things to do.
"Godmother," An Ran put down his chopsticks, "do you have something to say?" ”
Even An Ran felt that something was wrong with Xiao Hong, usually she just brought out the noodles, and she turned around and went to work.
But today's Xiao Hong has been staring at An Ran, and it is impossible to look away.
Hearing this, Xiao Hong smiled embarrassedly, "Enron, let you see the joke." ”
"Godmother knows that you are a good girl, so she won't beat around the bush, Godmother is not against you talking to Lin Xiao about friends, but you have no reason to ask Xiao Xiao to sacrifice her future to be with you."
Xiao Hong said it rightly, in the eyes of the older generation, underreporting one's willingness is tantamount to sacrificing one's future.
Lin Xiao shouted anxiously: "Mom!"
But Xiao Hong ignored him at all, looking at An Ran, he still had that smiling expression, "An Ran, godmother thinks that if you really want to go to a school with Lin Xiao, you can repeat your studies for a year, and if you work hard for another year, maybe you can also be admitted to Qingdao University." ”
Lin Xiao was speechless.
For the first time, he knew what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
Lin Xiao: "Mom, it's not what you think."
"It's such a godmother," An Ran didn't look at Lin Xiao either, his eyes only looked at Xiao Hong, "I think you misunderstood, if Lin Xiao is really admitted to Qingdao University, I will definitely be happier than my godmother." ”
The two women, you say a word to me, and it is basically Lin Xiao's matter.
An Ran's side face was still so good-looking, and her smile was so perfect, Lin Xiao couldn't even see that she was a little unhappy.
It is clear that he is the person concerned, but he is like a tool man, an outsider, sitting in the corner of the dinner table.
Lin Xiao returned to the room.
When he got up suddenly, because he was too hard, the feet of the stool dragged the ground and made a screeching sound.
All he said was, "Don't you all ask me for my opinion?" ”
The first time Lin Xiao encountered this feeling of powerlessness, the whole world thought he was crazy, only he knew that he knew that it was not.
That night, Lin Xiao was asleep on the desk looking at the photos.
The photo with the pillow on the side face happens to be a "family photo" of him when he was seven years old.
There are Enron, him, Xiao Hong and Wu Dawei in the photo.
At that time, Xiao Honggang decided to join Wu Dawei, and Wu Dawei offered to buy popsicles in order to please him.
Seven-year-olds, oh, a popsicle can be so happy that you can't find the north.
The photo was taken at that time, and An Ran in the photo is smiling like a flower.
When Lin Xiao came out of the shower, he saw Xiao Hong sitting on the edge of his bed.
In his hand was the photo album he had just flipped through.
"Xiao Xiao."
As soon as she saw Lin Xiao coming out of the bathroom, she immediately got up and went over, "An Ran has already gone back." ”
Lin Xiao nodded.
He had been there before taking a shower, and it was quiet outside, so he should have finished talking.
"Xiao Xiao, it's not that my mother doesn't ask your opinion, she just thinks that you are too young and your ideas are easy to deviate."
"You're young, so you have to listen to all your decisions?" In fact, Lin Xiao's tone was calm when he said this, and there was no wave on his face.
It's just that the content isn't very friendly.
"Xiao Xiao, how do you talk to your mother?"
Xiao Hong couldn't accept it, Lin Xiao had always been a very well-behaved and sensible child in her eyes.
Even if you don't pay attention to it, you have a wild time outside, and after returning home, in front of her, she has always been very well-behaved and gentle.
So at this moment, Lin Xiao's attitude annoyed him a little, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”
"You're joking with your future, do you know?"
"A family like ours, with no background, low income, and a sick person at home, is unable to make ends meet every month, and the college entrance examination is the only way to change their fate."
"Mom doesn't ask you to share any responsibilities, but at least you have to think about your future!"
"Since it's for my own future, of course I know what to choose."
When it came to choosing a school, Lin Xiao showed unusual stubbornness.
He can listen to Xiao Hong for other things, but this is the only one that he doesn't intend to give into.
For the first time, he regretted that he had scored a lot of money in the exam, how good it would be if he let go of a few big questions in advance?
"Xiao Xiao, do you have to be like this? You have to go to a school with An Ran, and you want to me off? ”
How many years has Xiao Hong not been angry like this?
Lin Xiao couldn't remember, but in the face of such Xiao Hong, Lin Xiao's heart was full of indebtedness.
Xiao Hong's face turned the color of pig liver, his whole body trembled with anger, and the breath he exhaled was very coarse, "I gave birth to you and raised you so big, I didn't let you do such nonsense." ”
"Yes, at your age, you think love is supreme, but what about ten or twenty years from now? Can you eat with love? ”
"Mom." Lin Xiao lowered his voice.
He can actually understand why Xiao Hong is angry, being able to go to a key university is beyond Xiao Hong's expectations, and for parents, Qingbei is definitely the best choice.
"Don't say that the results are uncertain now, even if the results come out, I still make this decision, I think very clearly, and I won't regret it."
Lin Xiao's gaze was indestructible firmness.
"What if Enron fails the college entrance examination?" Xiao Hong's tone was excited when she spoke, and her voice was also raised a notch, "If she is admitted to a junior college, you will also follow the junior college?" ”
"If she doesn't study, you don't study with you?"
Lin Xiao doesn't make this kind of unwarranted assumption, "There will be no such if, no matter how good the average score of Enron's senior high school is, he can get two books." ”
