Chapter 13 Huge Surprise
Very, very, very good?

What level of achievement is this?

Could it be that it is much higher than the score line for ordinary high schools?
Lin Xiuhong opened her eyes and looked at the mobile phone screen with anticipation and confusion.

When she saw the ridiculously high scores in each subject and the final total score of 555, she was stunned for a moment.

There was a buzzing in my head, as if the world was spinning and everything went blank.

Then the huge surprise, like fireworks blooming in the sky, exploded in Lin Xiuhong's mind.

Li Guohong, who was standing nearby, couldn't see the contents on the phone clearly because he was behind Li Luo and his eyesight was not very good.

But he had to remain calm as a father, so he could only ask calmly despite being anxious inside: "What do you mean? Did you do well in the exam? Can you get into a regular high school?"

"It's more than just the passing score for general high schools." Zhao Rongjun leaned half of his body on the table, looking at the score on his phone upside down, his mouth wide open, and couldn't help saying, "Li Luo's score is more than enough to get into the First Affiliated High School."

"Ah?" Li Guohong's face froze when he heard what Zhao Rongjun said. He thought he had heard it wrongly. "Xiaojun, what did you say? Affiliated No. 1 Middle School? Are you sure???"

Having said this, Li Guohong pulled Li Luo away, throwing away the calmness and composure on his face. He went straight to the phone and carefully looked at the score on it.

"Five hundred and fifty-five... five hundred and fifty-five... five hundred and fifty-five..."

Li Guohong muttered to himself, then suddenly turned around and looked at his wife beside him, and asked nervously and excitedly: "Xiuhong, do you still remember how many points Li Luo got in the exam before? I can't remember clearly."

"He only got around 400 points before! How could he get such a high score?" Lin Xiuhong scolded and laughed at the same time. She snatched the phone from Li Guohong and took the admission ticket from Li Luo, "Let me see if there is any mistake."

As she said this, she counted the number on the admission ticket against the admission ticket number sent in the text message over and over again, and finally confirmed that this was her son's actual score.

Ying Chanxi next to him was also looking at the score on his phone, and then his eyes fell on Li Luo who was calm beside him.

Noticing the confused look in his childhood sweetheart's eyes, Li Luo coughed twice and said with a smile, "Thank you for helping me review, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten such a high score."

"Yes, yes, yes! We have to thank Xixi more!" Lin Xiuhong also reacted at this time. She held Ying Chanxi's hand and thanked her repeatedly. She also told Li Guohong, "We will be closed at noon today! Let's make a good meal ourselves!"

"Okay!" Li Guohong agreed with a smile on his face, "We have a lot of dishes in the restaurant. Let's go to the market to buy some and make a full table! Thank Xixi very much."

"This..." Ying Chanxi looked at the sincere gratitude on the faces of his uncle and aunt, and suddenly felt a little ashamed. He waved his hands and explained, "Actually, this is not my credit."

"Uncle and aunt, you don't know that Li Luo actually asked Zhao Rongjun to help him review a long time ago. The little bit of review I helped him with during the two days before the high school entrance examination was just icing on the cake."

"If I can help someone review for two days and raise their score from over 555 to , then I can apply to the school for the title of outstanding teacher."

"So if you want to thank someone, the person you should thank the most is Zhao Rongjun."

After these words were spoken, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong were also stunned.

He looked at Li Luo, then at Zhao Rongjun, and then gradually came to his senses.

No wonder Li Luo was so confident after the exam, saying that he would definitely be admitted to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School. It turned out that he had planned it all along!

"You kid..." Lin Xiuhong looked at Li Luo, and was suddenly angry, helpless, and a little happy. The complex emotions mixed together made her not know what to say for a moment.

Li Guohong couldn't help but stretched out his big hand, pressed Li Luo's head, rubbed it hard for a few times, and laughed: "Okay, okay! You still want to give your parents a surprise, right? You hide it so well."

Afterwards, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong looked at Zhao Rongjun and asked gently and kindly, "Xiaojun, what do you want to eat? Tell me, uncle and aunt will reward you well at noon today!"

"Ah, this..." Zhao Rongjun was a little confused by their waves of attacks. He thought that Li Luo had dragged him to play basketball every day before, so was that actually helping him review?
How come he doesn't know it himself?

But when he thought of the questions Ying Chanxi had asked him before, Zhao Rongjun came to his senses a little.

Could it be that Li Luo would secretly find a place to review seriously every time after playing basketball with me?

Thinking of this, Zhao Rongjun looked at Li Luo with suspicion.

After seeing the other person's nonchalant expression, Zhao Rongjun felt a chill in his heart and a sense of respect arose spontaneously.

I never expected that the one who hid the deepest was actually you!

"Uncle and aunt." Zhao Rongjun's face straightened. He felt that Li Luo's silent efforts behind the scenes should not be buried like this, so he said, "Actually, this is the result of Li Luo's own efforts. It has nothing to do with me."

"Alright, alright." Li Luo had already walked up to Zhao Rongjun and grabbed his shoulders. "Don't be so modest. Tell me what you want to eat."

"I remember you like to eat eels? And pig ears, right?"

"Let my dad fix it all for you!"

"Okay, I'll make a note of it." Li Guohong patted his chest and smiled, "You all sit down and take a rest. Your aunt and I will go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables."

Zhao Rongjun looked at his uncle and aunt walking out of the store with a confused look on his face, then turned to look at Li Luo, a little speechless.

But Ying Chanxi was still here, and seeing that Li Luo didn't want to say anything, Zhao Rongjun kept quiet about it and just thought of it as him tutoring Li Luo.

After seeing off the last wave of customers in the store, Li Luo hung a sign at the door saying the store was temporarily closed, then picked up a rag and started cleaning up the store.

Zhao Rongjun felt a little embarrassed when he saw Li Luo busy, so he stood up and wanted to help.

"You're a great contributor. My parents will scold me to death when they see you helping out." Li Luo rolled his eyes, pushed the guy back, and then threw a rag to Ying Chanxi, "You come?"

"Am I not a great hero?" Ying Chanxi snorted unhappily, but still picked up the rag to help wipe the table.

She was in a particularly good mood today, so she didn't bother with Li Luo about it. She was so happy when she was busy. "By the way." Zhao Rongjun sat there, took out his mobile phone and looked at the class group on QQ, and asked, "Do you want to say something in the group? I see everyone is sharing their scores."

"What's there to say?" Li Luo shook his head. "There's still a graduation ceremony this afternoon. We'll know later."

"Didn't someone just say he wanted to show off?" Ying Chanxi glanced at him, "Is your score probably the highest in the class?"

"Calm down, calm down." Li Luo raised his hand and pressed it down, laughing, "The more times like this, the more you have to maintain your demeanor, otherwise you will be like a nouveau riche, rich but without dignity."

"speak English."

"It's more comfortable to pretend in person."

……

At noon, Li Guohong was busy in the kitchen of the breakfast shop for more than an hour, preparing a table full of dishes, all of which were the three children's favorites.

The couple's faces were full of smiles, as if they had never been so happy.

Although it is not the college entrance examination result yet, if Li Luo can be admitted to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School, based on the more than 90% undergraduate admission rate of the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School in previous years, it can be said that Li Luo has already stepped into the threshold of an undergraduate degree.

It was such a happy thing that Lin Xiuhong even took the initiative to bring out a bottle of white wine for Li Guohong and filled his glass.

"You can drink as much as you want today, so I won't bother you." Lin Xiuhong said this and even poured herself a small cup.

Then she brought over a large bottle of juice and poured it for all three little ones.

"Come on." Li Guohong saw this, stood up, raised his glass, and said with a smile, "Li Luo, and our two little heroes, let's celebrate."

Lin Xiuhong also stood up with a smile, raised her glass and said, "You will still be classmates in the same school in the future. You should communicate more often so that Li Luo can learn more from you."

"Uncle and aunt, you're too polite." Zhao Rongjun knew that he did not deserve it, so he quickly stood up and raised his glass in response.

Ying Chanxi, who was standing by, also stood up with a smile on his face, and happily clinked glasses with his uncle and aunt. Then he pulled Li Luo up and toasted with him: "Congratulations, Li Luo, for getting admitted to the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School~"

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Li Luo raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. He looked so heroic that people who didn't know him would think he was drinking wine.

Li Luo tasted the juice in his mouth and found it still a little unpleasant, so he said to his father, "Dad, give me a glass too."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiuhong slapped his hand away and said unhappily, "Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol. Go drink your juice."

Li Luo, who was a little too proud of himself, was suddenly brought back to reality by a slap from his mother, and remembered that he was still a minor.

"Alright, alright." Li Guohong said with a smile, "Let's eat, or the food will get cold."

Although he has always run a breakfast shop, Li Guohong's cooking skills are at the level of a master chef and he is good at making delicious dishes.

Especially since it was fried in a big pot in the store, it had an enticing aroma when it came out of the pot. Li Luo and others ate it with gusto.

While eating, Lin Xiuhong asked, "What was the passing score for the Affiliated High School No. 1 last year?"

"Last year, it was 507 points." Ying Chanxi blurted out subconsciously, and then added, "Aunt Lin, don't worry. Li Luo ranked 86th in the district in this high school entrance examination. He will definitely be admitted to the Affiliated No. Middle School. There is no need to worry about the score line."

"Yes." Zhao Rongjun also nodded and said, "Except for those who are admitted by our own enrollment, the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School will also recruit more than 400 new students. Li Luo's ranking must be guaranteed."

After confirming once again that her son could really be admitted to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School, Lin Xiuhong felt more at ease and even ordered an extra bowl of rice.

After finishing the meal, Li Luo said to his parents, "We have to go to school to attend the graduation ceremony this afternoon. We will have dinner with our classmates and will not be back for dinner."

"Got it. Go ahead." Lin Xiuhong responded, and then asked, "Do you have enough money? Do we have to pay for the dinner?"

"You gave it to me before." Li Luo waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, we'll leave first."

Looking at the children leaving the store, Lin Xiuhong showed a relieved smile on her face.

She was leaning against the door at the moment, the breeze blew the hair around her ears, and she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the invisible burden on her body had been temporarily lifted, and she felt relaxed and even a little dizzy.

Her son’s high school entrance exam results seemed a little unreal to her, as if she were dreaming.

"What's wrong? They must have gone to school." After cleaning up the kitchen, Li Guohong walked to the door and looked over there. Then he hugged his wife and said with a smile, "Are you happy now?"

"Go away. We're on the street here. Why are you hugging me?" Lin Xiuhong pushed him a little, but without using much force. She struggled symbolically for a few times and then leaned into her husband's arms.

"You're happy, what's wrong with a hug?" Li Guohong hugged her tightly a few times, and the two of them relaxed their excitement and joy of today.

After Lin Xiuhong recovered, she half leaned in Li Guohong's arms and suddenly said, "Old Li."

"Ok?"

"The apartment at your uncle's house..."

"purchase!"

"Yeah...that's what I meant."

The couple smiled at each other and already had an idea in mind.
