Outside.

After the interview, Lu You and Ye Qiuyi said goodbye, turned back to the school gate and continued to wait for Li Yu and Xu Nian to come out.

"Husband, you said that we were interviewed like this, will we be sprayed after we become popular?" Tang Wan asked with some concern.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Lu You said calmly: "We are just pretending to be forced, and we have not infringed on the interests of others." Even if we are really sprayed, there is no need to worry, we are good-looking, and someone will help wash the floor. ”

"Playing the Internet thoroughly belongs to yes!"

Suddenly, Lu You noticed that there was a pair of familiar figures under the big tree in front of the school gate.

"Eh, wait!"

Lu You grabbed Tang Wan's wrist, raised his finger to the front, and said, "Concubine Ai, look over there, are they Li Yu's parents?" ”

Tang Wan looked in the direction Lu You was pointing and suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh? Is that? ”

Tang Wan had only met Li Ruijin and Chen Su two or three times, and she could only say that she was a little impressed with them, but the other couple standing next to them was very familiar to Tang Wan.

"My parents are also here every year, and they seem to have a good chat."

"Good fellows! We'll see a lot of fun later! ”

"What's the show?" Tang Wan asked suspiciously.

"You forgot?"

Lu You narrowed his eyes, looked at the four middle-aged people in the conversation with intriguing eyes, and reminded: "Your good sister and my good brother have an agreement, they will be together after the college entrance examination." ”

The flame called "gossip" in Tang Wan's heart was instantly ignited.

"Let's go over and say hello!"

……

Liu Minzhi, Xu Nian's mother, her wrinkled eyebrows condensed a few scattered sorrows.

"I looked at my phone last night, and many people said that this year's math is particularly difficult, and I don't know how they do in the exam every year. I didn't dare to ask, for fear of affecting today's exam. ”

Chen Su's expression was the opposite, the wind was light, and there was no worry at all.

"No matter how difficult it is, the college entrance examination has passed, just let the children have a good rest, don't ask anything, don't put pressure on them, just wait patiently for the results to be announced."

"That's right, I'm too persistent."

Xu Zhichun and Li Ruijin on the side did not interject, Liu Minzhi and Chen Suneng met because of the parent-teacher meeting in high school, and every time it was a front and back table, they became familiar with it after coming and going.

And the two of them are fathers, let alone parent-teacher conferences, the number of times they have entered the school can be counted on one hand, and there is no intersection at work.

In the consciousness of the two, it was the first time they met each other, and as for the coming-of-age ceremony three months ago, they had long forgotten it.

At this moment, Lu You and Tang Wan appeared in front of them.

"Hello uncle and aunt!" The two nodded in unison.

"Oops! It's Wanwan! ”

Liu Minzhi happily stepped forward to hold Tang Wan's shoulder and looked up and down.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but I'm pretty again!"

"Mother Liu, you are also a lot younger." Tang Wan replied sweetly.

"What a sweet mouth!"

Liu Minzhi pinched Tang Wan's moist and smooth face and asked, "Didn't you travel abroad?" When did you come back? ”

"Just a few days ago, I came back to accompany the college entrance examination every year!"

"I have a heart!"

Liu Minzhi turned his gaze to Lu You next to him, with a little inquiry in his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, this handsome guy is your boyfriend, right?"

Tang Wan took Lu You's arm and admitted calmly: "Yes, Mother Liu, he is my boyfriend." ”

Lu You put on a polite and friendly smile and said, "Hello Aunt Liu, I am Wanwan's boyfriend, my name is Lu You." ”

"Hello."

Liu Minzhi recognized Lu You and was impressed.

One is because Xu Nian mentioned it at home, the second is because the name Lu You will always be the first on the honor list, and the third is because of the coming-of-age ceremony in March, and the relationship with Tang Wan was public.

The three factors add together, and it is difficult to remember Lu You.

Subsequently, Tang Wan was dragged away by Liu Minzhi to talk about her daily routines, while Lu You stayed where she was.

After a while, Li Ruijin quietly came to Lu You's side and whispered, "Xiao Lu, uncle has a question for you." ”

Lu You raised his eyebrows, he was deeply surprised by Li Ruijin's polite attitude.

"Uncle, you can tell me something directly."

"I think you seem to have pretty good math grades."

"So-so, I barely got an imo perfect score gold medal." Lu You said modestly.

"Have you read this year's college entrance examination math paper? Isn't it particularly difficult? ”

Lu You's heart was clear, he probably guessed Li Ruijin's true purpose.

"Uncle, you're worried about Li Yu's poor math test, right?"

Li Ruijin was silent.

As Lu You said, yesterday afternoon, when Li Yu went home after taking the math exam, Li Ruijin obviously felt that his mood was slightly sluggish, and he always maintained a thoughtful expression during the meal.

After opening his mobile phone after dinner, Li Ruijin immediately reacted, and it was estimated that the math test process was not smooth, which caused Li Yu to be in a bad mood.

Li Ruijin wanted to comfort a few words, but he was afraid that doing bad things with good intentions would affect today's Li Zong and English, so he had no choice but to say nothing and let Li Yu adjust himself.

Lu You felt a burst of relief in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a curvature.

Compared with the previous mutual disagreement, although the relationship between the Li family father and son has not reached the point of being honest with each other, it is much better, at least they can feel the care of the two for each other.

"Uncle, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, you don't know Li Yu, your worries are completely unnecessary."

Li Ruijin's face darkened, and Lu You's words directly poked at his sore spot.

He didn't go out to work all the year round, and his relationship with Chen Su was very stable, but he still made the relationship between father and son extremely bad.

As the boss of the company and as Chen Su's husband, Li Ruijin has a clear conscience, but as Li Yu's father, he admits defeat.

Lu You didn't notice Li Ruijin's mental activities, and said to himself: "No matter how difficult the college entrance examination paper is, it will not be out of the scope of the syllabus after all, as long as it is not out of the range, there will be no problem for candidates at Li Yu's level, just believe him." ”

"Is that really the case?"

Li Ruijin was skeptical, his grades in high school were mediocre, and he couldn't understand where Lu You's confidence lay in saying this.

Chen Su, who was listening, spoke out and reassured: "Don't worry! I don't know Xiaoyu better than you? I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? ”

Li Ruijin's heart hurt, the wound that had not yet healed that had been poked out by Lu You, and now Chen Su sprinkled a handful of salt on it.

"I ...... I listen to you. ”

"But, Uncle Li and Aunt Chen."

Lu You glanced at the Xu family couple who were talking and laughing with Tang Wan, and said mysteriously: "Li Yu's college entrance examination results don't worry, it doesn't mean that you can rest assured." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Su asked with a puzzled face.

Lu You shook his head, serious: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you must be mentally prepared." ”

Li Ruijin and Chen Su glanced at each other, secretly vigilant in their hearts.

……

More than ten minutes later.

Most of the parents surrounding both sides of the school gate have dispersed, and the figures of Li Yu and Xu Nian finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Daughter mad demon Xu Zhichun was the first to see Xu Nian, just smiled and raised his right hand, ready to call his precious eldest daughter.

"Year ......"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhichun seemed to see an unbelievable scene, his joyful voice stopped abruptly, and his smile froze on his face.

On the contrary, Li Ruijin's eyes lit up, his body involuntarily straightened, and the majestic momentum cultivated by years of president experience was gradually released.

Li Yu and Xu Nian came to everyone hand in hand, and were immediately attracted by their father's demeanor.

One had a terrifyingly dark face, and the other was terrifyingly mental.

The two initiators swallowed their saliva in unison, and their heartbeat rate rose wildly, as if they were chilling.

Chen Su expected this, his smile bloomed like a flower, and he silently gave Li Yu a "good job" look.

Liu Minzhi stared at the clasped hands, and her facial expression could not show the slightest warmth.

"Xu Nian, give me a reasonable explanation."

Xu Nianhu's body was shocked, and wisps of sweat oozed from his palms.

Liu Minzhi only calls her every year on weekdays, but once she calls her full name, there is only one possibility, that is, Liu Minzhi is angry.

Xu Nian retreated again, but the temperature from her hand made her puff up her chest.

Some things must be fought for with your own hands, and you can't be restrained by your parents forever.

Xu Nian made up his mind, and his eyes became more and more determined.

"Mom, you've seen it, his name is Li Yu."

"Of course I did! I have been sitting behind you in high school, the top three in the third year of high school, and I send you home every night for self-study, how can I not see it? ”

No matter how well the two of them hid, it was impossible to hide every time.

In August last year, not long after the start of the third year of high school, Liu Minzhi didn't pay attention to the time when she danced a square dance, and went home late, just when she bumped into Xu Nian getting out of the back seat of Li Yu's car.

She didn't confront Xu Nian for the first time, but chose to squat and observe for a month, and then knocked on the side of the head teacher Liang Jie, and even waited until the end of the first monthly exam in September.

Liu Minzhi looked at Xu Nian's top ten grades in the stable grade, and no matter how many doubts he had, he was forcibly suppressed.

She is afraid that Xu Nian's early love will affect her grades, but she is even more afraid that her intervention will hurt the relationship between mother and daughter.

Since everything is developing in a good direction, it is better to turn a blind eye for the time being and wait and see what happens.

As it turned out, Liu Minzhi was right.

Xu Nian's grades are as stable as Mount Tai, and he has never fallen out of the top ten in his grade, and occasionally he can rush to the top five once or twice.

"Tell me, what's the relationship between the two of you." Liu Minzhi's gaze turned to Li Yu, who was speechless.

Li Yu was like a thorn in the back, and said tremblingly: "Ah, Auntie! I、We're in a relationship, we're in love! ”

"Are you stammering? Can you speak a little smarter? Liu Minzhi said coldly.

"Auntie! I'm my boyfriend every year! I love her and I hope you can entrust her to me! ”

"It's useless to tell me, you tell his dad to go."

Li Yu looked at Xu Zhichun, who was silent and exuding murderous intent, and he was indescribably afraid in his heart.

[Is this the end of my life?] 】

Liu Minzhi put her gaze back on Xu Nian and asked, "When did they get together?" ”

"It was just now, about ten o'clock." Xu Nian replied without concealment.

"Who's confessed?"

"Me."

"Huh! Hurry to get it to the door, huh? Liu Minzhi sneered.

Xu Nian lowered his head, his earlobes red.

"It's not like that!"

Li Yu couldn't help but defend: "I confessed to Nian Nian in my sophomore year of high school, but she didn't agree, saying that she would wait until the end of the college entrance examination to think about it." ”

"You're embarrassed!"

Liu Minzhi glared at Li Yu with a fierce look in her eyes and asked, "I want to fall in love in high school, if it affects my grades, how can you be responsible?" ”

Li Yu wants to say that my dad has a net worth of nearly eleven figures, so he is responsible casually. But seeing Liu Minzhi's gaze of choosing people to devour, he swallowed his words back.

The elders lecture, and the juniors should not interject.

"Alright, alright, let's get here first!"

Chen Su hurriedly played a round and persuaded: "If you have anything to say, wait for us to find a quiet place and talk slowly while eating, isn't it?" ”

Liu Minzhi also realized that her emotions were a little too excited, so she simply calmed down and said lightly: "No need, we have nothing to say." Xu Nian, come home with me. ”

After that, Liu Minzhi turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Nian hurriedly grabbed Liu Minzhi's hand, with a bit of begging in his tone, and said, "Mom, just listen to me once, and have a meal with Li Yu and them, okay?" ”

At this time, Xu Zhichun, who had never spoken, put his hand on Liu Minzhi's shoulder and persuaded: "Minzhi, this is the first time that you have taken the initiative to ask us every year, don't make it difficult for her." ”

Li Yu was surprised, but he didn't expect Xu Zhichun, who was the least kind of person to see, to help.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu!" Li Yu said gratefully.

Xu Zhichun's face was still ugly, and he said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm helping my daughter, not you." ”

"I know, but thank you anyway!" Li Yu's eyes were full of sincerity.

Xu Zhichun's stiff expression finally eased a little.

[This kid is finally a little pleasing to the eye. 】

On the other side, the mother and daughter were at a stalemate for a long time.

Liu Minzhi let out a sigh of relief, turned around to face Xu Nian, and said, "Don't take it as an example." ”

"Thank you, Mom!"

Li Ruijin stepped forward at the right time and said, "I booked a private room in a restaurant, did you come by car?" If you don't drive, you can take our car. ”

"No, we have our own car." Xu Zhichun bluntly refused.

Li Ruijin didn't care, empathy, if his daughter had a boyfriend, his attitude would only be worse.

"Okay, let's take a step first, and let Li Yu send your daughter a location later."

After speaking, Li Ruijin looked at Lu You and the others again and asked, "Do you want to come together?" ”

Lu You refused without thinking about it: "No, my mother cooked at home, let's go back and eat." ”

Just kidding, no matter how good the relationship between him and Li Yu is, no matter how much he is called a brother, there is no blood relationship, when his in-laws meet, what qualifications does he have as an outsider.

"Well, be careful when you go back."

It was just a casual polite remark, Li Ruijin didn't force it, nodded to the Xu family, and left with Chen Su and Li Yu.

After Xu Nian said goodbye to Tang Wan, he also left in the opposite direction.

Under the originally lively tree, only Lu You and Tang Wan remained.

"I really didn't expect that Xu Nian's mother looks very talkative, but in fact she is so tough." Lu You looked at the back of the Xu family leaving, and said with emotion.

"That's right!"

Tang Wan and Lu You looked in the same direction, and the scene of elementary school and junior high school going to Xu Nian's house to play came to mind.

"As long as she doesn't touch the bottom line, Mother Liu is a very good talker, but once she touches the bottom line, she will become a different look and stubborn."

"My brother, it's difficult!" Lu You smiled gloatingly.

"That's bad, you!"

Tang Wan took Lu You's hand, and she was very glad in her heart that she had an enlightened mother.

"Husband, do you think Nian Nian and Li Yu will go well?"

Lu You's thumb rubbed a few times on the back of Tang Wan's hand, slippery, and felt great.

"Even if it doesn't go well today, going to college will go well, sooner or later."

"Why do you say that?"

Lu You analyzed clearly: "From the conversation just now, combined with Xu Nian's insistence on the principle of falling in love after the college entrance examination, it is not difficult to deduce that Xu Nian's mother's bottom line is the college entrance examination results.

As long as Li Yu and Xu Nian's scores meet the standard, Xu Nian's mother will no longer have a reason to stop the two, on the contrary, Li Yu's own conditions will be infinitely magnified in her eyes.

Just ask, which mother can refuse a son-in-law in the same city, with excellent grades, good looks, excellent family background, and good conduct? ”

Tang Wan thought about it carefully and felt that what Lu You said made sense.

"Did my mother not stop us from falling in love because of these conditions?"

"Not 100%, at least 80%, and the remaining 20% is what you like about me."

"It's always a little uncomfortable! 20% is too little, is my opinion so unimportant? Tang Wan pouted, looking unhappy.

"Your personal opinion really doesn't matter much compared to your future life."

Lu You stroked Tang Wan's lips a few times with his index finger, and was slapped off with disgust.

"Talk, don't move."

Lu You stopped his hand, and the words in his mouth did not stop.

"As a parent, you want your children to be happy. If you want to be happy, material conditions are the most critical and indispensable.

You may think that this is very realistic, but people just live in reality and cannot be separated from materiality. Without a material basis, all kinds of trivial things can cause rifts in the relationship between men and women.

Everything from washing dishes, cooking, laundry, and mopping the floor, to childbirth, housing, cars, and education, all depend on material things.

Why are my parents still in such a good relationship after 20 years? It's because I don't have the troubles I said. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, if you are interested, you can do it yourself, and if you are not interested, you can make a phone call and find a professional to do it for you.

Commute as you like, go home and have a big house, the time to get along and the private space is enough, the husband and wife have normal hobbies, they don't like to mess around, and it's strange that the relationship is bad for a long time. ”

"I kind of see what you mean."

Tang Wan thought back on her emotional path, which was almost exactly the same as what Lu You said.

The affluent material conditions allow them to spend more energy on their own affairs and cultivate their relationships.

There are fewer small contradictions, more laughter in daily life, and life is naturally happy.

"Needless to say, no amount of talk is as important as dinner! Let's go, go home and eat! ”

"Okay."

The two of them interlocked their fingers and returned to school side by side.

"By the way, are you free tonight?"

"What's wrong again?"

"Let's play Breakup Kitchen."

"Still playing? Forgot that you almost got into a fight last time? ”

"Come on, life is so sweet, you have to find something to do, come out with some contradictions, vent your grievances, just don't take it seriously afterwards."

"OK, remember the last word you said, don't take it seriously!"
