When he got home, Ling Yu smelled a strong smell of vegetables as soon as he entered the door.

"Mom."

Ling Yu walked to the kitchen door and shouted.

"......"

Ling's mother responded and continued to stir-fry.

"Gurgling ......"

In the bathroom, a middle-aged man in big pants was standing in front of the washbasin and looking up to rinse his mouth, his mouth gurgling and gurgling, while looking back at Ling Yu.

This raunchy, even a little fatty, greasy middle-aged uncle who can't be greasy anymore is Ling Yu's father, Ling Hua.

As you can see from the contours of his face, he was also a handsome guy when he was younger.

And as his wife, He Qiujuan, although she is also in her early forties, still maintains a girl's figure and a good face.

The years don't seem to have left much of a mark on her body.

When the couple goes out, they are often considered father and daughter.

When the mother and son go out, they are often considered to be sisters and brothers.

People who know them can't understand how He Qiujuan fell in love with the raunchy Linghua in the first place, it is simply a typical case of a flower inserted in cow dung.

Everyone thought that such a marriage would definitely not be happy.

But Ling Yu knew that his parents were very happy, and they had never quarreled, at most they were bickering, and they would soon be resolved.

They didn't have any big skills, they just rented a shop in the night market and opened a barbecue restaurant.

The business is not bad, and I can earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month.

In Yicheng, a small third-tier city, it is considered a high income.

It's just a bit hard, I have to be busy until one or two o'clock every night, and when I get home, I can't go to bed until three o'clock.

Ling Yu would also help out after finishing his homework at night, but he usually only worked for more than two hours, which was the busiest two hours.

Ling Hua rinsed his mouth, turned on the faucet, rubbed his face with water in his hand a few times, and then ripped off the towel on the shelf and wiped his face.

That's it.

"Bang ......"

Ling Hua walked out of the toilet with his slippers, picked up a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks and a plate of braised grass carp, and said to his son, "Prepare the dishes and chopsticks, and eat." ”

"Oh......"

Ling Yu answered, then walked to the cupboard, opened the cabinet and took out the dishes and chopsticks, turned around and picked up a plate of soybean stewed pig's trotters on the stove.

"Mom, what day is today, so rich."

Ling Yu smiled.

He Qiujuan glanced at him stunned, and then smiled mysteriously: "You'll know later." ”

"Give me back the guanzi."

Ling Yu pursed his lips and smiled.

When he came out of the kitchen, he saw his raunchy father just walking into the bedroom.

This is a two-bedroom small apartment with an area of just over 60 square meters.

Three years ago, in order to allow their son to go to a public high school, the couple specially bought this school district house, and the house price is naturally relatively expensive.

In this third-tier small city, it has also reached 151,000 square meters, with a total price of more than 1.1 million.

Although the couple made some money by opening a barbecue restaurant, they basically spent it on this house.

In addition, in order to provide Ling Yu with the immortal cultivation class, the annual tuition and miscellaneous fees plus various expenses are nearly 100,000 yuan.

So they haven't saved much money over the years, and they are still carrying hundreds of thousands of mortgages.

Subsequently, He Qiujuan came out with a plate of stewed beef brisket with radish and winter melon pork rib soup.

"Ling Yu, sit down."

He Qiujuan greeted her son, and then shouted to the bedroom: "Lao Ling, quickly take out the things, and still grope inside to figure out what to do." ”

"Here we are."

Ling Hua agreed, and came out with a beautiful large cardboard box.

Seeing the carton that his father was carrying, Ling Yu immediately understood, but he still pretended to be curious that he didn't know anything.

"Dad, what's this?"

Ling Yu asked as if he was curious.

Ling Hua smiled mysteriously, put the carton on the dining table and said, "Guess." ”

"It's like a cake." Ling Yu put on a thoughtful face.

"That's half right."

Linghua opens the box.

There are two lines of words written on the cake.

Happy birthday Ling Yu!

Eighteen, come on!

"Oh, so it's my birthday, and I forgot about it."

Ling Yu immediately put on an expression of sudden realization.

Of course, he remembered that it was his birthday, but he rarely celebrated birthdays.

When he was only ten years old, his parents gave him a birthday.

In his impression, his parents have never had a birthday, even if it is a big birthday.

"Eighteen, is there anything special?"

Ling Yu had a hint of curiosity.

Because his family didn't have the habit of celebrating birthdays, he didn't take his birthday to heart, and he didn't even take it seriously.

"Eighteen years old, today is your coming-of-age ceremony."

Ling Hua took the words, swept away the previous casualness, and looked very serious.

"Wait, isn't the bar mitzvah twenty? Besides, what age is this, I don't want to do this anymore. ”

Ling Yu thought he was joking, and also made a joke: "Fortunately, you are not an official, otherwise you will have to be on the hot search for this sentence." ”

Ling Hua said seriously: "I don't care how other people's families have a coming-of-age ceremony, in short, our Ling family's coming-of-age ceremony is eighteen years old." ”

Ling Yu felt that his words had another deep meaning, and it might be that he was thinking too much.

Seeing that he was stunned, Ling Hua patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Son, from today onwards, you will be an adult." ”

"Am I free to fly, then?"

Ling Yu made a joke at the right time.

"If the strength allows you to fly, of course you can fly, but the flying of the sword requires at least the third order of qi training, and you are still far behind."

Ling Hua half-jokingly took out a small box from his trouser pocket and opened it carefully.

"Top-grade Qi Gathering Pill!"

Ling Yu's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw the name of the pill written on the box.

"Dad, Mom, a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill costs 100,000 yuan, where did you get so much money, it can't be to go to the bank for a loan, right?"

Ling Yu knew that they hadn't saved much money, and almost all the money they earned was spent on him.

"I borrowed some money, but it's not much, more than 30,000 yuan, and it will be repaid in two or three months, it's okay."

Ling Hua stuffed the bottle containing the Qi Gathering Pill into his son's hand and shook his son's hand vigorously: "Ling Yu, your mother and I are both ordinary people, and we have no skills in this life, I just hope that you can make a breakthrough, and you won't have to work as hard as us in the future." ”

"Mom and Dad......"

Ling Yu choked up inexplicably.

He really wanted to tell them that he could make money on his own, and the manuscript fee for the reward was already hundreds of thousands.

But he couldn't tell them yet.

He also wanted to ask them why he insisted on studying in the immortal cultivation class even though he knew that his talent was not good.

But he knew he shouldn't ask, because the answer was simple.

They want their sons to be strong and to be masters.

Although a little demanding.

But compared with those parents who gave up directly once they knew that their children's talents were poor, Ling Yu was relieved that he had such parents.

Ling Yu wanted to say that even if he took the Qi Gathering Pill, it would be useless.

But he didn't want to hit them because it was too cruel to them.

In this world, everyone wants to be supreme and powerful.

His parents were destined to be ordinary people, so they bet all their hopes on him.

Once their hopes were dashed, he didn't know how they would face the days ahead.
