In Lijia Village, in addition to Yingchan Creek, the hometowns of Jin Yuting and Zhao Rongjun are also here.

Although everyone's parents have basically moved to the city, most of the grandparents of the older generation still stay in the village.

Especially after the demolition, the living environment has improved a lot, and the elderly have no intention of moving to the city and still like to stay here.

So during the Chinese New Year, batch after batch of small families came back with their families to celebrate the New Year.

Jin Yuting was brought back by her parents right after winter vacation, while Zhao Rongjun just arrived yesterday.

Both of them sent private messages to Ying Chanxi and Li Luo on QQ and learned that they came back today and came here to look for them after lunch.

"Xixi." On the sofa in the living room on the second floor, Jin Yuting saw Ying Chanxi coming downstairs and immediately stood up to say hello.

However, probably because they were not in the same class in high school, the relationship between the two was quite unfamiliar, far less familiar than in junior high school.

Thinking about the current class monitor Li Luo, who ranks first in the class and 17th in the school, he is no longer the Wu Xia Ameng he used to be.

In the past, Jin Yuting could speak sarcastically because Li Luo had poor grades and would never be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the future.

Now in front of Li Luo, he has become quiet and well-behaved, and does not dare to say anything against Li Luo.

If Jin Yuting thought that Li Luo was not worthy of Ying Chanxi in the past, now she sees the two of them walking down the stairs together, but she doesn't think they are a good match.

Xu Yinghuan even told her that Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng were good to drink, but in Jin Yuting's opinion, how could Ying Chanxi and Li Luo be so good to drink?

They are childhood sweethearts, okay?

I don’t know since when, Jin Yuting has changed from the original firm opposition to the Qingmei Party today.

But Li Luo was completely unaware of this.

Of course, he wouldn't let the little girl look down on him just because they were just children, and he didn't bother to care about it.

Now that he is a classmate and a fellow villager, Li Luo will not embarrass others.

In comparison, Zhao Rongjun's side is much simpler.

The good brother didn't see anything between Li Luo and other girls at all, he just thought they were all very good friends.

At most, they just feel that Ying Chanxi and the others are relatively close to Li Luo.

After hearing that Li Luo was back, he came to the door. When he saw Li Luo coming downstairs, he asked, "Do you want to play basketball?"

"Okay, now?"

"Not now." Zhao Rongjun shook his head, "I just passed by the basketball court in the village and my seat was already taken."

"Then you still ask me." Li Luo rolled his eyes at him, then thought about it and said, "Let's go buy some firecrackers and let's go to the fish pond."

With that said, Li Luo called on several people to follow him.

At this time, Lin Xiuhong had just finished cutting the fruit and came out of the kitchen. When she saw Li Luo and the others running out, she immediately wondered whether to laugh or cry: "Hey! Do you want to eat the fruit?"

Li Luo heard his mother's shout and trotted back again. He chuckled and took the plate over: "We'll take it with us to eat."

"Be careful, don't break my plate."

"Don't worry." Li Luo ran downstairs, stuffed the plate into Zhao Rongjun's arms, then picked up a grape on it and stuffed it into Ying Chanxi's mouth, "Take it, my mother said not to break it.

Please pay attention."

"Then don't you take it yourself?" Zhao Rongjun's face darkened, and he didn't know where to put the plate in his hands.

"Xixi and I are the ones who produce the fruits in my house. Jin Yuting is a girl, so who can get it if you don't want it?"

Zhao Rongjun: "..."

Confused by Li Luo's absurd reasoning, Zhao Rongjun couldn't find a reason to refute for a while, and Li Luo was already walking towards the convenience store opposite.

"Hello, Third Grandpa!" Li Luo walked into the convenience store and saw the Third Grandpa who sold them the house in Bihailanting, and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Li Luo." The third grandfather responded with a smile, "Young man is promising. He ranked 17th in the school in the final exam. He is better than your cousin. You can take whatever you want."

"I'm just going to get some firecrackers to play with." Li Luo unceremoniously took a few boxes of crackers and crackers from the cabinet next to him, and a lighter by the way. Before leaving, he asked curiously, "How did Grandpa San know that I was finishing my semester?"

Got 17th in the exam?"

"That's what your mother said." The third grandfather said, stroking his beard, "Come to my place at noon to buy soy sauce and chat with your cousin. That's it."

"She didn't say anything else, right?" Li Luo became a little more alert and asked more questions.

"What else can I say?"

"That's okay." Li Luo chuckled, thanked him, and called Echan Xi and the others to go to the fish pond together.

He was also worried that his mother would spill the beans and find out about his novel writing.

It would be fine if only my relatives knew about it.

But if relatives find out about it and the gossip spreads among the neighbors, and accidentally reaches the ears of Jin Yuting or Zhao Rongjun, how can Li Luo survive?

Fortunately, my mother still spoke in a measured manner and did not show off.

On the other hand, on the Ying Chan River side, Li Luo quietly leaned into her ear and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense about my novel writing in front of Jin Yuting and the others, don't forget it.

.”

"I know." Ying Chanxi rolled her eyes at him, "I'm not that stupid."

Jin Yuting, who was on the side, watched the two of them whispering, and she couldn't take her eyes away.

Only Zhao Rongjun followed behind with a plate and said speechlessly: "Why are we going to the fish pond?"

"Let's go fry the fish."

Li Luo ate another grape and kindly took one for Zhao Rongjun.

The fish pond he was talking about was a small tributary of the Yin River in the north of the village. After it converged to the north of the village, it formed a small fish pond.

After lunch, Li Guohong and the others went fishing together to the fish pond.

As a result, after sitting on the shore for less than an hour, I was startled by the sudden explosion of a cannon in my ears.

Turning around, he saw four mischievous figures.

It was his good son who took the lead.

"You boy, are you going to die?" Li Guohong shouted angrily, "Scared all the fish away from me!"

"I didn't throw it!" Li Luo shouted not far away, "It was all thrown by Xixi!"

"I didn't!" Ying Chanxi quickly denied it and chased after Li Luo.

Li Luo immediately threw the cannon at Ying Chanxi's feet. Ying Chanxi was so frightened that he quickly backed away and glared at Li Luo angrily.

After a while, Li Luo took the plate away from Zhao Rongjun, walked to the shore, and handed it to Ying Zhicheng first: "Uncle Ying, eat the fruit."

"Oh, thanks." Ying Zhicheng stared at the water attentively. He came to his senses after Li Luo called out and reached out to pick up a grape.

Then Li Luo handed the plate to his uncle Chen Hailin, and finally his father Li Guohong.

After dividing the grapes in a circle, and adding Li Luo and others to eat by themselves, they soon only had three or two grapes left on the plate.

At this time, Li Luo threw the plate at his father's feet, and then said: "Mom washed it specially for you. Dad, remember to take the plate back after you finish eating."

"Oh, I got it." Li Guohong responded subconsciously, and after he lowered his head and looked at the few grapes left on the plate, he reacted belatedly, "You brat! You have to finish eating."

Throw it to me!"

By this time, Li Luo had already run away, leading Zhao Rongjun and the others back to the village. They wandered through the narrow streets and alleys, playing with firecrackers from time to time, and the happy time passed quietly.

When meal time was approaching, the four of them parted ways at the intersection.

When leaving, Jin Yuting was a little downcast: "It's so annoying. I have to be nagged again when I go home."

"What's wrong?" Ying Chanxi asked with concern.

"It's not like I didn't do well in the final exam." Jin Yuting sighed, "In our village, there are only six or seven people in our village who got admitted to the No. 1 Middle School this year. In addition to the four of us, there is also Wei Chun, who is in the same class."

"Whether it's you or the other two, your final grades are much better than mine."

"My mother talks about me every day now. If I had known this, I might as well have gone to the second high school to study. I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail."

"Are you sure?" Li Luo chuckled, "Then you will lose me as a good monitor?"

When Jin Yuting heard this, she almost laughed at him, but then she thought about it and sighed again.

In every sense, Li Luo is indeed a good squad leader.

But in the end, it was just a tool used by her mother to compare herself with her.

"Li Luo, you'd better stop talking." Jin Yuting pursed her lips, "Forget it about Xixi and Zhao Rongjun. They are students in key classes, so they are better off."

"But you were in the same class as me, and you were elected monitor. You also made rapid progress, ranking 17th in the school."

"After my mother found out, she asked me all day long why I didn't learn more from you. We are all students in the parallel class. Why can you do it but I can't?"

"I'm so tired of hearing it."

Li Luo couldn't do anything about it. After all, he had a mother with the same style at home.

It's just that he has the memory palace to help him, and his current results have basically stopped his mother's nagging, so he is much better than Jin Yuting.

"All I can say is let Auntie get used to it more." Li Luo sighed, "After all, every time she takes an exam in the future, she will be able to see my name among the top 40 in the school. Maybe one day she will be able to see me at the top.

.”

"Heh." Ying Chanxi smiled at the side, "Try it if you have the ability."

Zhao Rongjun also shook his head when he heard this: "I believe you a little bit when you say you can get second place in grade, but forget about first place. I think there is no chance in this life."

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!" Li Luo said righteously, "Ying Chanxi also said before that if I get first in grade, she will unconditionally promise me something."

"I keep what I say." Ying Chanxi snorted, "If you have the ability, just try to be the first."

The four of them chatted for a while, and then finally parted ways and went home.

When Li Luo and Ying Chanxi returned home, Chen Hailin was already cooking in the kitchen.

After sitting down on the sofa, Li Luo took out his mobile phone and took a look at it, and saw that his senior sister had sent him a QQ message.

[Xu Youyu]: Zhusheng told me that we will go to your place to play in the fourth year of junior high school?

【Li Luo】:Yes.

[Xu Youyu]: According to her, she still wants to stay at your place for a few days. Do you have any extra room in your house?

[Li Luo]: Yes, you can just come, but you have to tell your family and don’t come secretly like the last symposium.

[Xu Youyu]: You don’t need to remind me, but speaking of which, does Xixi already know that you write novels? I think I saw her post.

[Li Luo]: If you mean that "Xixi Buhehe"... then it is indeed her.

[Xu Youyu]: Haha~ Xixi is so cute, just like Dongdong. I saw her and Zhusheng commenting on each other there, it was so funny.

[Li Luo]: You are not as naive as them, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

[Xu Youyu]: I'm not that stupid. It would be bad if they noticed me. They might guess who I am. What should I do? I must keep a low profile.

[Xu Youyu]: The same goes for you, please don’t expose my vest!

[Li Luo]: Don’t worry, I’m keeping my mouth shut.

[Xu Youyu]: That’s good. I’ve prepared a New Year’s Eve gift for you. Remember to accept it when the time comes.

[Li Luo]: Ah? What gift?

【Xu Youyu】: Keep it secret for now, we will know when the time comes.
