Chapter 120
"Our school now has three foreign teachers who are mainly responsible for teaching Y language, but they only teach students in the elite class." Xiaoxi quickly helped explain, his eating habits are more refined than Xiaobei's.
Li Chengye was a little surprised, one was because of the foreign teachers, and the other was that there was actually an elite class.
"Yes, yes, my brother and I are both from the elite class of the first year of junior high school." Xiaobei swallowed a mouthful of food, looking very proud.
"Hey, my two children have very good grades, and they are still the first and second in the entrance examination, so they were directly assigned to the elite class." Speaking of this, Li's mother is also very proud.
"Okay, Xiaoxi, Xiaobei, you guys are really great." Li Chengye was naturally very happy. He didn't have much time to take care of the two children, but it was just a matter of time, and the people living around them were all from Tsinghua University. The teacher who is a good teacher naturally received a lot of knowledge.
Ye may have inherited the original owner's clever mind, plus Li's mother's side, so it's not very strange to be ranked among the best.
"They are all good children, obedient and sensible." Li's mother is also very emotional in her heart. Children from poor families are sensible early. Although their family is in a good situation now and they can be said to be in the upper class of society, their childhood memories will always be in people's hearts. Memories left on him.
"You must continue to work hard in the future, and you must not be too proud." There must be praise, but there must also be a knock.
"Understood." The two children are still very serious about studying this area. You must know that their father, aunt and uncle are all students of Capital University. They have long made up their minds to follow in the footsteps of their father and take the entrance examination of Capital University in the future.
While talking, he had almost finished his meal and didn't drink or anything, so everyone was still very fast. Putting down the chopsticks in their hands, Li Chengye took a look in his trousers pocket.
"This is a gift I brought back from abroad, one for each person."
The two watches were placed on the table. The dials of the watches were not very large, with a silver metallic luster on them. The entire watch was almost made of sterling silver, and it was a mechanical watch.
"Wow, what a beautiful watch!" Xiaobei's eyes widened, and he quickly picked up one and put it on his wrist.
"Oh, how much does it cost! You are studying abroad, so how can you buy such expensive things?" Li's mother was also shocked, and she couldn't help but feel worried. The watch looks expensive. I heard that foreign things are expensive. Expensive, my son doesn't have much income, how can he dare to buy such an important thing.
"Mom, I have a job abroad and earn a lot of money, don't worry, and this watch is not very expensive." Li Chengye is telling the truth. Although these two watches are produced by a world-renowned handmade watch factory, they It's not very expensive, and there are no gems, gold.
The most important thing is that the two children are still young, so he doesn't dare to buy them too expensive things. After all, everyone is generally poor at this time, and they don't worry about poverty but inequality. Too expensive can easily make people jealous.
"Don't lie to me!" Mother Li was still a little worried.
"How could I lie to you!" Li Chengye smiled helplessly.
On the other side, Xiaoxi was still watching Li's mother and the others talking, and did not move the watch on the table. Xiaobei was already wearing it, but unfortunately the watch was a bit big and loose, and it fell out of his wrist all at once.
"Dad, this watch is too big to wear!" Xiaobei couldn't help shouting.
"It's nothing. Give me the watch. I'll take it off." Li Chengye held Xiao Bei's wrist, compared the size of it with the watch, and then took it over.
"Mom, do you have needles? The thicker ones."
"Yes, wait for me." Mother Li quickly ran to the room, and took out a needle from inside after a while.
"Be careful, don't break it." Seeing that Li Chengye was about to start with the needle, Mother Li hurriedly warned him.
"Understood." This watch is a hand-made mechanical watch, the quality is good, why is it so easy to break.
Under the warm light, Mother Li and the two children watched Li Chengye's movements intently.
The watch strap is relatively easy to remove. The watch is a good watch. Li Chengye has long considered that the two children will grow up, so when he bought it, he bought a watch with a longer strap. Now that it is removed, it can be installed later. , they can be brought directly to adulthood.
"Okay, okay, try it on." The needle is not a professional tool, and Li Chengye took some effort to remove it, and he handed the watch to Xiaobei.After that, he picked up Xiaoxi's one again, compared it again, and then started working again.
"Hey, so handsome!" Xiaobei looked at the watch on his wrist, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"It's pretty." Li's mother also thought it was pretty.
This time Li Chengye got a little more familiar, and quickly fixed Xiaoxi's, and Xiaoxi also put it on his hands. His emotions were not as exposed as Xiaobei's, but the corners of his mouth were curved upwards, and his eyes almost overflowed with a smile. .
"Come on, come on, it's almost time, you guys hurry up and go to school!" Seeing the two children still admiring their watches, Mother Li looked at the wall clock in the main room, and immediately became anxious. It was already late for dinner today. A little bit more, still talking all the time, if you don't leave, you will be late.
"Ah! Oh my god! Hurry up, bro." Xiaobei glanced at the time and immediately became anxious. They have exams tonight, so they really can't be late.As he said that, he pulled Xiaoxi to run outside.
"Hey, be careful!" Seeing their panic, Mother Li quickly stood up and followed them out of the door.
Li Chengye naturally followed behind, taking the child out leisurely.
The Capital Affiliated Junior High School is naturally not far from them, it takes about 10 minutes to walk there, but it is far away from Xu's villa, so Li's mother and the others live here these days.
Standing at the gate of the yard, the two watched the backs of the two children go away.
"Son, when will you start going to work!" When she was out of sight, Mother Li looked at Li Chengye and asked.
"Next Monday, I can rest at home for three days."
"Then your place of work is not far from home! Do you want to buy a bicycle or something?" Mother Li asked worriedly.
"It's not so far away, but I guess I need to buy a bicycle." There is a dormitory building over there, but it's relatively small and not suitable for a family.Li Chengye didn't want to live there alone, so naturally he didn't consider doing so.
He also observed it when he came back by car today. Aside from the time it took to go to Sun Li's country, it took about 10 minutes to drive here. Li Chengye estimated that it would take 10 minutes to ride a bicycle.
"Hey, I know where there are bicycles sold. You don't need a ticket there, you can just buy it with money."
Now that the economy is liberalized, bicycles, which are relatively in short supply, are naturally resold, but they are more expensive than tickets.
"Okay, then we'll go buy it tomorrow. By the way, are we going to pick up Xiaoxi and Xiaobei tonight?" Their side is a small alley, so Li Chengye is still a little worried.
"No need, no need. There are several people in our alley who are about the same size as them. They all go to the attached middle school and come back together all the time. Don't worry."
"We don't need to cross any roads to get to the attached middle school. There is no danger."
"That's it!" Li Chengye felt relieved now, he came back rarely, and still had some time, always thinking about what to do for the children.
It was cold outside, and they didn't continue to blow the cold wind outside. They hurried back to the house and closed the door.Rarely had time, the two sat on a chair and chatted, but most of the time it was Li's mother talking about what happened in the past two years, while Li Chengye simply brought up his life abroad.
"Hey, let me tell you, Li Chengye, you just remember to bring presents for the children, so don't worry about me, mother?" Suddenly Mother Li put on a straight face, seeming a little angry.
"How come? I forget that no one can forget you!" Li Chengye hurriedly explained, knowing that his mother was just joking, but he still became nervous very cooperatively.
"Is it really mine?"
"Of course." Li Chengye hurried into the room. He was in a hurry when he got up just now, and he didn't bother to take out the gift he brought back from the suitcase.
Mother Li also quickly followed in. In the room, Li Chengye opened one of the suitcases and spread it out on the ground. It was bulging inside, and I don't know how it got in. There was almost a crack, and something rolled out of it. come out.
Mother Li quickly picked up the things from the ground, and it turned out to be a bottle of liquid, with a lot of words written on the bottle, like little tadpoles, none of which she knew.
"What is this?"
"This is face cream. I brought a set for you, my aunt, and Xu Liu. I heard that this brand of skin care products is very good." Li Chengye came back this time and brought two suitcases, one of which was full of The gift I brought, that's all I haven't packed yet.
Although there are no relatives in the Li family, there are still several relatives in the Xu family, including his teacher.He is also very trouble-free, men are generally a belt, and women are skin care products.
However, Li Chengye also brought a set of down jackets for Mother Li and his aunt, while Mr. Xu and Professor Xu each had an antique teapot. Although it was an antique, it was not very expensive.
"Oh, I'm so old, why don't you use this kind of thing, you'd better give it to Liuliu and the others!" Li's mother smiled embarrassedly, she was half of her feet buried in the soil.
"Mom, you can't use it anymore. Besides, we are cold in winter, so we use this mainly to prevent cracks." The capital is relatively north, and when the west wind blows, it really hurts the face.
"Hey, it's all right, I'll use it." Li's mother actually just rejected it symbolically. Her son brought it specially for her, and she couldn't bear to have it.
