Wu Yue has a cheerful personality. As she spoke, her eyes fell back to Jiang Li, her eyes filled with envy: "Why do you think you are so capable? You can easily cultivate a national champion, but your family, Hanhan and Weiwei, will , and there are three younger ones taking the college entrance examination, are they all trained by you to be top scorers? "

Hearing this, Jiang Li's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he said without any humility: "I hope so, but it's too early to say this now."

“Li Bao, you have always been very humble, why are you not humble now?”

Wu Yue pretended to be surprised.

“As you can imagine, all of my children are outstanding. As a mother, I have great confidence in whether they can become top scorers in the college entrance examination like their elder brother.”

Jiang Li said with a smile.

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then she looked envious and jealous: "You are really irritating!"

Looking at her, Jiang Li laughed out loud: "I'm just angry with you. If you don't accept it, make an appointment for a fight?"

"Ha ha!"

Wu Yue was so amused by Jiang Li's words that she burst out laughing. She gave Jiang Li a big hug: "Good sister, you are so funny!"

After patting her on the back, Jiang Li said, "Go in and sit down. Let's have a good chat later."

Wu Yue smiled and said "Yeah", and followed Jiang Yikai with her husband and children to the banquet living room on the second floor.



When the hour hand reached twelve o'clock, seeing that there were no more visitors, Jiang Li called to Luo Yanqing, Shuirui, Jiang Guoan, Jiang Yihao and other nephews and said, "Let's go, no one will come anymore, let's go up." Bar."

"Um."

Luo Yanqing responded.

The banquet room on the second floor.

Since there were really many guests coming to congratulate them, if you look around, you can see that there are at least thirty tables occupied. Many of these guests are strangers, but since they can come, it means that they are more or less familiar with Jiang Li or Luo Yanqing. It has some relationship.

For example, elders Song Suo and his wife had relatives on both sides of their families and friends they had made over the years. Another example was Brother Jiang’s business partners who had been stoned in the past few years when he opened a hotpot restaurant, Jiang Guosheng’s close comrades in arms, and the people Jiang Guoan had made friends with, etc.

In short, today's No. 1 Scholar Banquet is a happy event. Those who have children at home and have some relationship with Jiang Li's family. After hearing about this event, they basically bring their families to congratulate them, so that they can take the opportunity to The children have close contact with the No. 1 Scholar, thus serving as a motivational factor.

Originally, Jiang Guosheng was the one to host the banquet, but after Director Song arrived, Jiang Guosheng handed over the hosting rights to Director Song without saying a word.

Director Song had no choice but to accept this "job".

There were bursts of applause. After Director Song’s speech, Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing also said a few words. Finally, as the protagonist of today, Shuirui bowed to express his thanks to the guests who came to congratulate them.

The whole banquet went smoothly.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet came to an end. Jiang Li's family stood at the door of the hotel, seeing guests off one after another.

But the people from the Feng family and the Xiao family stayed until the end.

“Child, take this.”

At the entrance of the hotel, next to Feng Wei's car, Mr. Feng was sitting in a wheelchair. He looked at Shurui, took out a kraft paper envelope from his pocket and handed it out. However, Shurui stood there without moving, but looked at Jiang Li. and Luo Yanqing, seeing the two of them nodding, they took two steps forward and took the envelope from Mr. Feng's hand.

“If you have time, go and sit at home.”

Hearing what Mr. Feng said, Shuirui was silent for a long time. He pursed his lips and nodded lightly.

“You should study hard when you go to university, so that you can repay the country’s training.”

What a good child, but it is a pity that his daughter is not a good person and just abandoned her children early. Now there is no use regretting it.

"Um."

Horui nodded again.

Mr. Feng's eyes showed a touch of relief. Then, he said goodbye to Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing, said hello to the Xiao family, and was picked up by Feng Wei and placed in the back seat of the car.

And Fang Su had already gotten on the bus in advance.

After putting away the wheelchair, Feng Wei put it into the car. He nodded to Jiang Li and his wife, Xiao's father and Xiao Jin, then looked back and got into the driver's seat. After a while, he drove towards the main road.

“眜瑞.”

This is Xiao Jin’s voice.

“Uncle Xiao, is there something wrong?”

Hourui looked confused.

Xiao Jin didn't say anything. He walked up to Shuirui and handed out two red envelopes casually: "The one above is given to you by your Grandpa Xiao, and the one below is a little thought from Uncle Xiao."

…”

Hourui didn’t reach out.

“Take it, it’s just a little thought from Uncle Xiao and your Grandpa Xiao.”

Xiao Jin looked gentle, but Shuirui didn't reach out to pick it up. Upon seeing this, before Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing could say anything, Xiao Shen said: "Rui Rui!"

Zhou Rui looked at Xiao Shen and heard the other person say: "Take it!"

Hui Rui remained silent, and moved his gaze towards Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing.

Jiang Li nodded.

"Thanks!"

Withdrawing his gaze, Shuirui took the red envelope handed to him by Xiao Jin. At the same time, he turned his eyes to Xiao's father and Xiao's mother: "Thank you!"

Father Xiao smiled: "Good boy, there is no need to be polite to Grandpa Xiao."

“Dad, Mom, let’s go!”

Farewell to Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing, and said something to Xiao Shen. Xiao Jin took his children and greeted Xiao's father and Xiao's mother to go home.

"Um."

Father and mother of Xiao responded, and a group of people got into Father Xiao’s special car. After a while, the car drove away.

After his parents, brother, nephews and niece left, Xiao Shen, his son Ron and Mr. Luo also said goodbye to Jiang Li's family.



Luo Yanqing did not return to the courtyard. After seeing off all the guests, he and Director Song took a car back to the research institute. After all, the project in hand was at a critical stage of development. It was not easy to find time to attend his son's celebration banquet. If It is really difficult for Luo Yanqing to waste the afternoon time in vain.

“Is mom unhappy?”

Mingwei came to Jiang Li's room. She blinked and carefully observed Jiang Li's facial expression.

“Why do you ask?”

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows in a funny way.

“Dad went to work again without even returning home…”

Ming Wei's voice gradually became quieter, and then she lost her voice. Hearing this, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Since you know why your father didn't come home, do you think your mother is an unreasonable woman?"

Ming Wei shook her head without thinking: "No, mom is the most reasonable!"

“That being the case, why should I be angry?”

Jiang Li shook her head lightly, her eyes were soft and her words were doting: "Okay, you are not a big person, but you have a lot to worry about. Mom is really not angry. After all, your dad is busy working to contribute to the country. If I This trouble is not only unclear in the eyes of others, but also makes me despise myself. "

“It’s good that mom is not unhappy.”

Ming Wei held Jiang Li's arm and asked with a sweet smile: "It's still some time before school starts. Mom, are we just going to stay at home like this?"

“Want to go out and play?”

Jiang Li looked at Ming Wei with a smile.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

Mingwei nodded her head like garlic.

“Then where do you want to go?”

Jiang Li asked. After hearing this, Ming Wei shook her head: "I listen to my mother. Let's go wherever mother says we should go."

Jiang Li pinched Mingwei's nose and she said, "You are the only one who is smart!"

After a short pause, Jiang Li said again: "Then go to Kuncheng."

Mingwei's eyes lit up: "Kuncheng? Mom, is it fun there?"

“You’ll know if it’s fun or not. Kuncheng is like spring all year round, and the temperature in summer generally does not exceed 30°. It is known as the ‘Spring City’ and is a good place to escape the summer heat.”

With a smile on his face, Jiang Li said, "Let's leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'll give your great-grandpa a call later to see if he wants to come with us."

“How about we fight now?”

Ming Wei said, got up and took Jiang Li's mobile phone from the bedside table. Seeing this, Jiang Li took the mobile phone and dialed. After a moment, the call was connected and she heard Jiang Hongfa's voice. She directly told her about her trip to Kuncheng. Son said.

Jiang Hongfa didn't say anything, saying that he had to go with us and that he would make the arrangements.

“Will this make you tired until you grow old?”

Jiang Li didn't want Jiang Hongfa to bother himself.

"No, don't worry. Grandpa just gave the instructions and everything will be arranged for us to go to Kuncheng."

Hearing what Jiang Hongfa said, Jiang Li could only say: "Okay, I will listen to my grandfather."

Jiang Li and Ming Wei did not mention asking Jiang Boya to go to Kuncheng together because Jiang Boya is currently abroad.

In fact, according to Jiang Boya's schedule, he was originally scheduled to return to China two days ago so that he could attend the celebration banquet hosted by Jiang Li for Shuirui. However, just before departure, there was a large project cooperation that required Jiang Boya's personal participation. In desperation, Jiang Boya I have to stay in a foreign country.

"Mother…"

After finishing the call with Jiang Hongfa, Jiang Li heard Ming Wei's voice and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

“Ms. Feng didn’t show up at the hotel today. This must be related to the Feng family, right?”

There is no doubt that Ms. Feng in Mingwei’s mouth refers to Feng Lu, her biological mother.

…”

Jiang Li was silent. After a moment, she said, "Mom doesn't know what you're asking about. But why did you suddenly think of mentioning Ms. Feng?"

“She likes to make trouble most of all. I think on a day like today, she will definitely show her face and make us all unhappy.”

Mingwei made no secret of her displeasure with her biological mother.

“Weiwei!”

Jiang Li looked serious and his tone was a bit strong.

“Mom, what did I say?”

Ming Wei was puzzled.

"Weiwei, there is a saying that 'don't judge others in small talk'. What's more, after all, Ms. Feng is your biological mother. Even if you don't like her, you can't say anything wrong about her at will. Otherwise, when others find out, they will say that you are not Education.”

Seeing Mingwei pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence, Jiang Li's expression softened slightly and her voice became softer. She said, "Based on what Ms. Feng once did, mom understands your attitude towards her, but if you think about it in your heart, Saying it casually in front of others can easily cause trouble for yourself. "

“I know I was wrong.”

Ming Wei raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Li: "I won't say anything to her casually in the future."

“It’s okay to know that you are wrong.”

Jiang Li nodded happily and said, "Don't feel wronged. Mom said when you were a child that she hoped that Weiwei would grow up to be a sensible, polite and elegant girl. Do you still remember this?"

"Remember."

Mingwei responded.

"Mom has the same expectations for you now, so you are not allowed to think about some miscellaneous things. We must have an open mind, so that we can study happily, live happily, and grow up happily." After listening to Jiang Li's words, Mingwei nodded seriously. Nodding: "I listen to my mother."

At the same time, the Feng family.

“Dad, where have you been?”

Since he had to go back to work in the afternoon, Mr. Feng asked Feng Wei to send him and Fang Su to the entrance of the compound. Then Fang Su pushed him back home. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the living room, he heard Feng Lu's voice. .

"you do not know?"

Fang Su spoke before Mr. Feng could say anything.

“What should I know?”

Feng Lu was confused.

“Go and have a rest!”

Mr. Feng looked at Fang Su. It was obvious that he didn't want Fang Su to continue talking. Who knows, Fang Su didn't listen to her and responded to Feng Lu: "Shurui's kid is the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination. He is hosting a banquet at his home in the hotel." Celebrate, are you sure you don’t know this?”

“Go back to your room!”

Mr. Feng immediately darkened his face. He couldn't figure out what was going on in this woman's mind. Did she not know who the adoptive mother of Shuirui's child was? She didn't know that the other party was her daughter. She had to stir up trouble in front of Feng. Is your daughter looking for trouble?

“Aren’t you going to take a break?”

Fang Su was humiliated by Mr. Feng, but he didn't show too much anger.

"did not hear?"

Seeing Fang Su standing still, Mr. Feng's face became even more ugly.

“Then you and Lulu have a slow chat.”

Fang Su said and went up to the second floor.

“Dad! You guys just came back from attending some celebration party, right?”

The footsteps on the stairs disappeared, and Feng Lu couldn't hold it back any longer, so she asked Mr. Feng.

However, Mr. Feng did not say anything.

“I gave birth to Luo Shuirui. He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. He is having a banquet in the hotel to celebrate. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Feng Lu was so angry that she couldn't help but speak in a loud voice.

Mr. Feng was sitting in a wheelchair. He looked at Feng Lu quietly for a moment and said, "Who do you think you are and you need someone to tell you specifically?"

Seeing Feng Lu's unfazed expression, Mr. Feng added, "If you are serious, don't you know that Shuirui will take the college entrance examination this year?"

“I have to go to work, how can I find the free time to learn about other things?!”

Feng Lu didn’t feel that she was wrong at all.

"How busy are you with your work? Are you so busy that you don't have time to see Shurui and his siblings? Let me tell you, you probably don't even know that Shurui's child will take the college entrance examination this year, and you don't know that the twins you gave birth to are now Junior high school or high school.”

“I told you I was busy at work.”

Feng Lu really didn’t know whether Shurui was taking the college entrance examination this year or whether Minghan and Mingwei were in junior high school or high school, but she didn’t think it was a big deal.

“What’s the matter with you coming here today?”

Mr. Feng saw that Feng Lu was stubborn, so he changed the topic, not wanting to talk to Feng Lu about the previous topic.

Feng Lu: "Dad, you haven't told me yet why you didn't tell me to attend Luo Shuirui's celebration party!"

“If you are serious, do you still need someone to tell you?”

Mr. Feng said, and he sighed: "They didn't inform me, old man. I asked your eldest brother to accompany me shamelessly."

“Why didn’t Luo Yanqing and his wife inform us?”

Feng Lu's voice was full of resentment.

Mr. Feng: "As for what you have done, it is reasonable for people not to inform you. But your eldest brother, me, your second brother, and their brothers, after you abandoned your children and left, you never walked around with others again, let alone I have never cared about the three children you gave birth to. Now that the children are promising, if you don't tell us, there is no place for us to talk. "

Feng Lu: "Then how did dad know about this?"

Mr. Feng: "I asked about it."

“But I’m just angry!”

Feng Lu suddenly stood up: "No, I have to go find that woman Jiang Li and ask her why she didn't tell me that Luo Shuirui was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and didn't notify me to attend the celebration banquet!"

“Sit down!”

Mr. Feng scolded him: "You don't care about your children and you abandoned them early. How can you have the face to question Comrade Jiang?"

"dad…"

Feng Lu felt wronged.

Mr. Feng: "Tell me why you came here today."

“Nothing important, I just came to see you.”

Feng Lu said this without any hesitation.

Mr. Feng has matured into a mature man, how could he not hear that? But he didn't care and asked, "You and Han Bin haven't had any trouble recently, have you?"

“We are not young anymore, so why are we arguing? Besides, life is easy to live, and I will not let myself be depressed every day.”

Sleeping in separate rooms and having nothing to say when meeting each other every day, this is how she lives now.

But this is nothing to her. After all, being a man is no longer humane. No matter what he thinks outside, he is just powerless.

Mr. Feng said: "Husbands and wives should be more understanding. You also know that you are not young anymore, so don't be a little angry in front of Han Bin when you have nothing to do."

Feng Lu: “I didn’t.”

“There is no best.”

Mr. Feng said: "If you have nothing else to do, just go back."

Feng Lu: “Then I’m leaving.”

Mr. Feng waved his hand.

Feng Lu walked out of the compound and walked towards the bus stop. Unexpectedly, a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice suddenly reached her ears, and the voice called her name.

Stopping, Feng Lu raised her eyes and looked over. The next moment, she immediately withdrew her gaze, pretending that she had not seen it, and was extremely looking forward to the bus arriving at the stop.

“Are you trying to pretend you don’t know me?”

Hu Yi walked up to Feng Lu. There was a smile in his eyes, but it didn't reach his eyes.

“Stay away from me, I don’t know you!”

Feng Lu looked at the other party coldly.

"Are you sure you don't know me? I took good care of you when I was abroad. It would be better for you to take all my money away from the apartment while I was not at home. Feng Lu, you won't forget this, right?"

Yes, Hu Yi is the young man who went abroad with Feng Lu and was entrusted by the Feng family to take care of Feng Lu.

“I told you I don’t know you. If you pester me here again, don’t blame me for calling the police!”

Feng Lu's face was extremely ugly. She did not expect to return to China because she had heard Hu Yi say when she was abroad that she would stay abroad for development after completing her studies.

“Okay, you call the police immediately, how about I accompany you to the nearest police station?”

Hu Yi's eyes were full of sarcasm: "Feng Lu, I was waiting for you here. I didn't expect that I was waiting for you. Now that you have met me and don't want me to make things worse, just pay back the money you stole from me." Give it to me, otherwise, I don’t mind telling your husband what happened abroad.”

 Hu Yi returned to China half a year ago. Because he couldn't make it in a foreign country, he wanted to return to China to develop his career. However, he had his sights set high and has not found a suitable job until now.

In fact, as an overseas student appointed by the state, he naturally does not have to worry about a job when he returns from his studies. However, Hu Yi chose to stay abroad after his study abroad period, which is tantamount to a violation of his agreement. Therefore, when he returned to the country half a year ago, the country would not treat him Make arrangements for work.

What's more, he didn't learn anything while studying abroad. In other words, he has no real skills. In addition, he has a high level of vision, so he will not be able to find a good job for a while, and he will look down on not-so-good jobs. There is no income, just spending, and life will naturally become more and more difficult.

So, Hu Yi set his mind on Feng Lu.

It was a lie to ask for the money stolen by Feng Lu abroad. The real purpose was to get in touch with the Feng family through Feng Lu, and then find him a good employer through Mr. Feng’s connections.

"you…"

Feng Lu was defeated by Hu Yi.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to pay back the money. Talk to your old man and ask him to arrange a job for me.”

Upon hearing Hu Yi's words, Feng Lu immediately told the other party's true purpose of finding her. She said: "So this is your purpose, but don't you know that my dad has stepped down from his position, how will he arrange it for you?" Work?"

Hu Yi: "I believe that my uncle has many connections."

“You are a returnee from overseas. Can any company accept you?”

Feng Lu suddenly sneered: "Is it possible that you didn't learn anything at all while studying abroad, so no unit wants you when you return to China?"

Hu Yi couldn't help but get angry when he heard this: "Just tell me whether you want to do what I say?"

…”

Feng Lu remained silent.

Hu Yi lowered his voice and urged: "Have you thought about it?"

“You want money, right? I’ll give it to you!”

Feng Lu took out a wad of money from her bag and stuffed it into Hu Yi's hand: "Is that enough? Don't let me see you in the future!" Just as the bus was coming, she glared at Hu Yi fiercely, and then hurriedly got on the bus.

Little did he know that giving the money was like opening a hole, which would arouse Hu Yi's greed and treat her as a money bag. If he had no money, he would come to her to ask for it.



Going to Kuncheng for a week, Jiang Li took Captain Jiang, his wife, and the children at home, and took a flight back to Beicheng with Jiang Hongfa. Not long after returning, it was the registration day for the new semester.

Jiang Li was very busy that day. He sent Shui Rui to Beijing Foreign Studies University to complete the admission procedures at noon, and took Minghan and Mingwei to register at the new school in the afternoon. Then he registered three dumplings in the primary school affiliated with Shuimu University.

Speaking of which, Minghan Mingwei did well in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to the high school department of the High School Affiliated to Shuimu University.

It will undoubtedly be much more convenient for Jiang Li to pick up and drop off a few children when going to and from school in the future.

“Mom, my fourth and fifth brothers and I will officially become primary school students tomorrow!”

After signing up for Shuirui Minghan and Tuanzi, Jiang Li drove his five children back to the courtyard. As soon as he got out of the car, Guoguo couldn't help but said happily.

"Um."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded.

"Grandma and grandpa! Grandma and grandpa! I will be a primary school student soon!"

 With short legs, Guoguo ran to find Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufang. Tuanzi and Tangyuan followed Guoguo. The three little ones were very happy that they were about to become elementary school students.

“Mom, look how happy they are!”

Ming Wei said with a smile.

“You are about to become a high school student, aren’t you very happy!”

Jiang Li's eyes were full of smiles: "Time flies so fast. In three years, you two will have to face the college entrance examination. Come on!"

She undoubtedly said this to Minghan and Mingwei together.

Minghan's eyebrows were full of confidence: "I can do anything that big brother can do, mom, just wait and see!"

Then catch the insects. . .
