Chapter 160 Mission 015

Students’ business is the easiest to do, so there are all kinds of stalls and shops outside the school gate.

Xiao Ying followed Song Lin to a barbecue food stall and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you going to treat me to this?" He thought Song Lin was going to treat him to a small restaurant outside the school. After all, it is not convenient to eat barbecue skewers at noon.

Song Lin ignored him and shouted to the boss who was busy in front of the grill: "Uncle Lu, the same as usual, double portion!" It was obvious that he was a regular customer and had a close relationship with the boss.

The boss smiled at Song Lin in his busy schedule and responded loudly: "Hey! Wait a minute!"

Xiao Ying and Song Lin found an empty seat and sat down. It was noon now, and there were not many customers. At night, this barbecue food stall would definitely be full.

Song Lin said at this time: "Hey, Uncle Lu's barbecue skills are top-notch! You will know if you try it."

Xiao Ying was actually quite calm. Isn't it just skewers? It's not like he hasn't eaten before!

Perhaps because Song Lin had a good relationship with the boss, the skewers were served not long after they sat down. There were both meat and vegetables, two large portions each, skewered with special iron skewers and grilled and served on a plate. Two glasses of juice were also given as a gift, which was made from orange juice powder mixed with water. Although it was of poor quality, it was chilled, so it was a different flavor when eaten with the skewers.

Xiao Yan had a high level of cultivation and had already practiced fasting, but after traveling through time, he still had to eat in someone else's body. He had to eliminate the impurities in the food every day like he had obsessive-compulsive disorder when eating ordinary food, so he now ate spiritual food stored in the space in the world of cultivation, which was truly pollution-free and impurity-free green food. A meal would keep his mortal body from being hungry for three days.

But now that the male protagonist invited him to eat skewers, he couldn't just watch, so he picked up a skewer of lamb and started eating. His movements were simple and unpretentious, which shocked Song Lin, who was sitting opposite him.

Song Lin thought that his classmate, who was so hypocritical and arrogant, would not be able to adapt to the experience of eating skewers in a food stall. He had thought about how to persuade him. As a result, he felt that his classmate's experience in eating skewers was not inferior to his. He was a veteran player!

Xiao Ying noticed the gaze from Song Lin on the opposite side. When he looked up, he saw him holding a bunch of roasted potatoes and looking silly. He couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't press your acupoints. Why did you freeze yourself?"

Song Lin came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, ate a piece of potato, looked at Xiao Ying curiously and asked, "Do you really know the legendary martial arts? Can you really learn the acupoint pressing skills just by memorizing the acupoint dot matrix diagram?"

Which boy doesn't yearn for martial arts? Song Lin can make a name for himself at such a young age. He has also practiced a few moves, but what he has practiced can only be said to be fighting moves, not martial arts.

Xiao Ying said: "Martial arts are just a show. What I practice is martial arts! The martial arts that can cross the river with reeds and kill people with flying leaves!"

Song Lin showed a bit of doubt: "Can you be that powerful?"

Xiao Ying paused for a moment. He also remembered that he was only a third-rate master now. Although his Qinggong was not bad, he didn't have enough internal strength to support it. He couldn't really cross the river with reeds. He could kill people with flying leaves, but he couldn't tell Song Lin that he really knew how to kill people with this trick, right?

So in the end, his face was a little embarrassed: "I mean that the martial arts I practiced would be so powerful when they were practiced to the state of success. I haven't reached this level yet."

Song Lin chuckled: "I knew you were bragging! Crossing the river with reeds and killing people with flying leaves is completely fictional in martial arts novels! Who are you fooling?"

Xiao Ying raised his eyebrows. Although he did fool Song Lin, he definitely underestimated himself and didn't brag about himself. However, he did not do anything to prove that what he said was true. After all, if his state of mind was so bad that he would jump up and down to prove himself just because of a few harmless speculations from others, he would not have cultivated to the current level.

The time left for students to eat lunch and take a nap at noon in No. 1 Middle School is very sufficient, about three hours, but the two boys chatted and ate skewers together, and time passed unknowingly.

Xiao Ying looked at his watch and found that it was already past two o'clock, so he said: "The class starts at 2:30, and the preparatory bell will ring at 2:25. The class teacher will definitely arrive early, so let's go to school quickly!"

Song Lin grumbled and complained a few times, but still got up obediently to pay the bill and went back to school with Xiao Ying.

******

On Sunday, Xiao Ying bought some gifts at noon and came to Li Yuechen's door on time and knocked on the door.

Soon the door was opened, and Li Yuechen stood at the door in casual clothes with a smile: "Come in!" Then he turned around and shouted into the house, "Mom! My classmate is here!"

Xiao Ying came in with a gift. At this time, the conditions of the heroine's home were not very good. The house was not very big. The floor was cement, but it was cleaned very cleanly. The walls were also cement walls. They were not even plastered with white lime, but they were carefully covered with newspapers. A small room was separated from the living room and a single bed was placed in it, so the living room became very small. Guests and meals were all in this small living room.

Li Yuechen's home had no sofa, so the round wooden dining table was placed in the middle of the narrow living room, surrounded by several chairs. In front of the wall facing the dining table was a large cabinet for storing sundries, and on the large cabinet was a large back-to-back TV.

As soon as Xiao Yu entered the door, he saw the bathroom and kitchen near the door. They were both too narrow to turn around. The heroine's mother was busy in the kitchen with a spatula. When she saw him coming, she quickly put down the spatula. He wiped his hands on his apron and said with a smile: "Welcome to my home, Mr. Xiao, to sit and watch TV for a while. The food will be ready soon!"

Xiao Yu smiled and said hello: "Hello, aunt!" He handed over the gift in his hand, "This is my first time visiting the house and I brought some gifts. Please don't dislike it, aunt!"

Mother Li frowned when she saw the high-end gift in Xiao Yu's hand, and quickly rejected it: "You kid, why do you bring a gift when you come to my aunt's house for dinner? We should be thanking you today. Why do you want you to give us a gift instead?"

With that said, Xiao Yu was asked to carry the gift back.

Xiao Yu quickly put the gift in his hand on the corner of the ground against the wall, waved his hand and said: "Auntie, please don't embarrass me. It is the proper etiquette to bring gifts to other people's homes, and this etiquette cannot be broken. If I give this gift today, If my parents find out about carrying the gift back, why don’t they blame me for being rude?”

Mother Li thought about it and thought so. Although she was still a little embarrassed, she still accepted it, just thinking that she would return it when she had the opportunity in the future.

Li's mother continued to cook, and the people who greeted Xiao Yu were Li's father and Li Yuechen, father and daughter.

Li Yuechen poured a glass of water for Xiao Yu, a little embarrassed, it was indeed a bit crude. However, when she saw Xiao Yu's calm and composure-free look, her favorable impression of Xiao Yu increased greatly.

She had long heard the well-informed classmates in the class gossiping about Xiao Yu's family background. It was said that he was a child of a wealthy family. Although she was confident that she would be able to improve her family's conditions in the future with her foresight, the fact that Xiao Yu, a spoiled second-generation rich man, could be calm and comfortable in her family's poor conditions without showing any disdain undoubtedly made her feel respected.

Li's father also has a good impression of Xiao Yu, especially since he saved his daughter, has good academic performance, is sensible and polite, and is a typical child of other people's families.

Mother Li moved very quickly, and the food was served on the table not long after. Looking at the seven or eight dishes of large fish and meat on the round table, Xiao Yu felt a little dumbfounded.

The Li family probably entertained him with what they thought was the best meal, but Xiao Yu actually didn't like big fish or meat. Instead, he preferred to eat vegetarian dishes because there were far fewer impurities in vegetarian dishes than meat dishes.

However, he was not easy to show off. On the contrary, he looked like he was enjoying his food. His support made his mother Li, who was cooking, very happy. She frequently picked up dishes for him: "If you like it, eat more. It's all home-cooked food. It doesn't count." What!"

Xiao Yu smiled and thanked him, and then said: "Home-cooked food is delicious. I rarely have the opportunity to eat home-cooked food."

Mother Li was a little confused: "Is home-cooked food rare?"

Xiao Yu showed a bit of a wry smile: "I don't see my parents a few times throughout the year. Usually, my meals are cooked by a private chef hired by my parents, or I order takeout from the hotel. But no matter what, I eat They are all exquisite and beautiful restaurant dishes with no homely flavor. I looked at the dozen or so dishes on the big table alone at home and felt cold. "

Father Li and Mother Li looked at Xiao Yu with pity in their eyes. They all thought that rich people would live a very good life, but they didn't expect that the children of rich families would also have a difficult life. They couldn't see each other all year round. I’ve visited my parents a few times, but it’s been so long that I don’t even recognize my parents anymore, right?

Li Yuechen took the opportunity to express his opinion at this time: "Dad, Mom, you should also learn a lesson. Are you going to be like Xiao Yu's parents who are busy with business and ignore me all day long? Look, since you opened that small restaurant, , how long has it been since you had dinner with me? It’s thanks to Xiao Yu that our family can have dinner together today!”

After Li Yuechen was reborn, she naturally wanted to improve her family's conditions, so she took advantage of her rebirth to make her family rich step by step. The first step was to ask her parents to give up their jobs that soon lost security and use their savings to open a small restaurant. Opening a restaurant can make money. After you earn your first pot of gold, you can buy a house, buy an old house that will be demolished in the future in the old city. When the old city is developed in the future, you will definitely make a lot of money...

However, running a small restaurant was very busy and tiring, so Li's father and mother were busy with the restaurant all day long, and started to let Li Yuechen go. Although Li Yuechen was reborn, it was not impossible for her to take care of herself. However, when she was first reborn, she received meticulous care from her parents. This was something she had not felt for a long time since she was an adult before she was reborn. She was inevitably a little greedy and addicted. As a result, she later became As the restaurant became busy, this caring became less and less. Now when she heard Xiao Yu's words, she was the first one to resonate.

In Li Yuechen's view, she was reborn in the hope of making up for her regrets and making her family happy. Making money is not a very urgent matter. After all, there are many opportunities to make money for her who is reborn. Although it is impossible to become rich, it is still okay to be a little rich. But she prefers to enjoy life, rather than filling her life with making money, which makes her family lack the happiness they deserve.

****

After Li Yuechen said this, Xiao Ying certainly couldn't tear her down. Instead, he responded, "Maybe I'm being a little presumptuous, but I still want to say it. Uncle and aunt, you can never make enough money, but once you miss the time with your family, you can never make it up. In fact, I have some complaints about my parents leaving me alone to make money. I hope you don't forget to care more about classmate Li while you are busy making money."

After Xiao Ying finished speaking, he saw Li Yuechen looking at him with a smile. His face immediately flushed, and he buried his head in his food with some embarrassment.

Li Yuechen sat opposite Xiao Ying and happened to see his long eyelashes trembling like a small fan. He also noticed the blush on his face and immediately understood. He smiled secretly in his heart: It turns out that the seemingly cold academic god is actually a shy person!

In fact, it was actually unpleasant for Xiao Yan to say such polite words when he came to someone else's house for the first time. However, since he had talked about the miserable situation of left-behind children before, and then Li Yuechen brought it up in person, it was easier for Li's father and mother to accept his words.

Moreover, Li's father and mother were not the kind of parents who would fight with the brainless heroine every day after rebirth. Instead, they were very open-minded and had ordinary people's life wisdom. After listening to Xiao Yan's words, both of them were thoughtful. Li's mother first said to Li Yuechen: "I have been busy with business during this period, and I have indeed neglected you. It is my fault. I will come back every day at noon in the future..."
