Chapter 293 The couple's little troubles

Returning to the kitchen to continue cooking, Lin Xiuhong took a plate of shredded meat from Ying Chanxi and poured it into the pot and stir-fried it.

Soon, a plate of shredded pork with green peppers was taken out of the pot and served on a plate, and Ying Chanxi next to him reached out to take it.

At this moment, Lin Xiuhong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she suddenly noticed the bracelet on Ying Chanxi's wrist. She couldn't help but ask curiously: "Huh? Xixi, your bracelet looks quite similar to mine?"

"Um... this?" Ying Chanxi blushed slightly and whispered, "It was a gift from Li Luo on my birthday. I think it was bought from the same store as Aunt Lin's bracelet."

"No wonder." Lin Xiuhong smiled and nodded, then took another closer look and compared it with her bracelet. "But it's still a little different. My jade token is green, and yours is white."

Ying Chanxi also stretched out his hand and put his wrist against Lin Xiuhong's. They both looked at each other.

Then Lin Xiuhong laughed and said, "If we go out like this, people will think we are mother and daughter."

Ying Chanxi's face turned red when he heard this. He was very happy and had no intention of refutation at all. He just nodded in agreement.

After a short episode, Li Guohong and Li Luo also drove back from West Street.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Guohong was stunned to see two little girls in the living room standing up from the sofa at the same time.

One of them helped him take out a pair of spare slippers from the shoe cabinet, and the other reached out and took a briefcase that he carried with him just for show.

Then Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu called him "Uncle", which made Li Guohong stunned and he was unable to react.

"Uncle Li, you're here?" Ying Chanxi also poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled sweetly at him, "Please sit for a while. Aunt Lin and I will prepare lunch soon."

"Oh, oh oh..." Li Guohong nodded in a trance, put on the slippers that Yan Zhusheng brought out for him, followed Li Luo to the sofa and sat down, "You guys...are you watching TV?"

Li Guohong had just come back to his senses from his trance and was trying to make small talk.

But Xu Youyu still sat aside and started chatting with Li Guohong familiarly.

Yan Zhusheng was not very good at chatting, so he just sat next to Li Luo and listened quietly, and poured a glass of water for Li Guohong.

During the Chinese New Year, the two girls went to visit the countryside. Li Guohong didn’t feel much about it. He just thought they were here to play with Ying Chanxi.

But now that he had come to Bi Hai Lan Ting, he had a certain illusion for the first time... It was as if he was a guest in Li Luo's newlywed bridal chamber...

But on second thought, I felt that this idea was not so good. After all, there were three little girls in the room...it was a bit disrespectful to them.

But when he thought of this, Li Guohong, like Lin Xiuhong, actually suffered from decision-making difficulty. He looked at Xu Youyu, who was chatting with him calmly and confidently, and then at Yan Zhusheng, who was obediently pouring water for him.

Then Li Guohong turned his head and glanced towards the kitchen, looking at Ying Chanxi who was helping Lin Xiuhong diligently.

If all three of them are his daughters-in-law...it's not impossible, it would feel pretty good.

Li Guohong just dreamed this in his mind, and then immediately dispelled this unrealistic fantasy. He silently said to himself, "What a sin, what a sin!" and hoped that Lao Ying would not blame him, as he was just thinking about it.

"It's time to eat." Lin Xiuhong came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.

Following behind was Ying Chanxi.

Seeing this, Yan Zhusheng and Xu Youyu also went into the kitchen to help bring out the remaining dishes.

Li Luo followed him in and took six sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Li Guohong sat at the head seat at the dining table, looking at the three little girls busying around following Lin Xiuhong, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Looks like it, really looks like it!

It's just that the number of people isn't right.

A few minutes later, all six of them sat down and started eating.

Lin Xiuhong asked about what happened after she left.

Li Guohong thought about it for a while, and then said, "The landlord of the hot pot restaurant is still struggling. He said he would give me a reply before the end of June."

"The landlord of the fruit shop also told me later that if no one comes to rent her shop this month, she will consider selling it."

"As for the landlord of the milk tea shop and breakfast shop, you were there at the time. After we attend the parents' meeting next week, we will talk to him about the details of the contract."

"If everything goes well, we can probably close the deal this month."

"Has Sister Lulu talked about the loan?" Li Luo asked.

"I mentioned it before, we have already contacted them." Li Guohong laughed, "Their manager is quite enthusiastic. If you have connections with the bank over there, the loan interest rate will be preferential, and the approval process will be faster."

"Xuefeng and Lulu invited us to dinner before, but unfortunately you were in school at that time, so they didn't invite you." Lin Xiuhong said, "Didn't you say before that we could put the deposit in Lulu's name? She has been promoted half a level now, and she will probably be promoted in the second half of the year."

"So simple?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

"The manager over there has heard about our income situation." Li Guohong rolled his eyes. "You are now earning hundreds of thousands of dollars in net income every month, so you are considered a big customer to them."

"According to Lulu," Lin Xiuhong added, "it's rare to see such an individual earning that much in Yinjiang District. Even executives of large companies or small business owners don't make that much in a month. This is a huge achievement for you."

"As long as it's useful, it's fine." Li Luo scratched his head, not quite understanding this.

After all, he had never experienced the feeling of making so much money in a month in his previous life, so he really didn't understand the situation in this regard.

He originally thought that only those with a monthly income of one million could be considered a big customer of the bank.

What Li Luo didn't know was that if it was a company's public bank account, transactions of millions or tens of millions were very common, but these were not pure profits after all.

Some company bosses may have a monthly turnover of tens of millions, but after deducting various company costs, the actual amount they can get may only be 200,000 or 300,000 yuan a month.

Those bosses who claim to be worth tens of millions cannot easily come up with millions in cash flow.

Many are company assets.

This is a unique attribute of online writers.

Because the royalties you earn from writing are pure cash, without any ambiguity.

For the bank, this is a truly high-quality customer.

No debt, high net worth, especially for successful authors like Li Luo, the income is actually very stable.

When issuing loan contracts to such clients, bank managers would be eager to pay, fearing that other banks would steal the business.

It's really a business that is sure to make money.

"Speaking of which." Li Guohong was halfway through his meal when he suddenly thought of something, "What should we do with this milk tea shop and breakfast shop when we buy them? Both of these shops have said that they will not renew their leases at the end of June."

"I have an idea." After hearing what his father said, Li Luo remembered an idea he had before and said, "How about letting my uncle come?"

"Ah?" Li Guohong was stunned for a moment and was a little unresponsive.

Lin Xiuhong next to her was also stunned, then said: "What are you talking about? Your uncle driving a truck is pretty easy, right? They are all relatives' companies, and the salary is not too low..."

"You don't know yet?" Li Luo laughed and shook his head. "My uncle now drives a truck during the day and pushes an electric tricycle at night. He sells fried rice at the side door of our No. 1 Middle School dormitory campus every day. He can make nearly 10,000 yuan a month."

"What?" Lin Xiuhong was really surprised. "What's wrong with this guy? I've never seen him work so hard before. Why is he suddenly thinking about making money? Has he found a partner?"

"Um... he said he wanted to buy a car."

"Tsk." Lin Xiuhong frowned and said unhappily, "Is buying a car more important than finding a partner? Xiufeng is such a fool."

"That's what I was thinking." Li Luo heard his mother say that and encouraged her, "Look, my uncle usually drives a truck during the day. To be honest, he doesn't have many opportunities to meet girls."

"Look at this milk tea shop. It's located at the west gate of Qianjiang University. When the subway opens, there will definitely be a lot of traffic."

"There are girls all around in the university. My uncle looks like a man in his thirties, but he looks no worse than a guy in his twenties."

"I've met so many girls, so I'm sure there will be one I like."

"That breakfast shop will no longer be open. We will just connect it and make it a bigger milk tea shop, with the front desk and kitchen on one side and casual seating on the other."

"If a college student is bored and orders a cup of milk tea and comes over to sit down, doesn't that mean your uncle has the conditions to meet girls?"

Lin Xiuhong was somewhat moved by what he said.

After all, over the years, Lin Xiufeng's marriage has been a long-lasting concern in their family.

However, as soon as his family urged him, Lin Xiufeng would run away. At the most exaggerated time, he even ran away to another province and refused to come back for two or three years.

Now that he has settled down at home, Li Luo's grandparents don't dare to urge him anymore. They can only wait and see when he will come to his senses.

Now that Li Luo said this, Lin Xiuhong suddenly hesitated and looked at Li Guohong.

"Why are you looking at me?" Li Guohong said with a smile, "I was the one who negotiated for the store, but the money was all paid by our son. He's grown up and sensible now. If you think it's a good idea, just tell Xiufeng and see if he's happy to run the store."

"Anyway, the subway isn't open yet. If we don't renew the lease here, it will probably end up like that fruit shop, with no one renting it."

"It would be better to let Xiufeng take care of it. He would have a place to go instead of driving a truck around all day."

After hearing what Li Guohong said, Lin Xiuhong nodded and said, "If you two say so, I will find a chance to mention it to him."

"Mom, you can bring it up, but don't mention finding a date." Li Luo reminded with a smile, "Once he hears that, he probably won't want to go."

"Then what should I say?"

"Just mention it casually so that he can be mentally prepared. I will talk to him about the details next time." Li Luo said.

"Okay then." Lin Xiuhong patted Li Luo's shoulder with a smile, "Your uncle's life will be left to you to worry about."

"That's just what I said, I can't guarantee it." Li Luo rolled his eyes.

"Mom believes you." Lin Xiuhong looked at the three girls who were eating well at the table and said with certainty.

Li Luo looked at his mother and always felt that she was a little too confident in herself.

"If we buy the fruit shop at the back, do you have any good ideas?" Li Guohong asked again.

"Let's put this aside for now." Li Luo thought about it, then said, "After all, they also said that they will give a reply at the end of the month. By the time we really buy it, it will be summer vacation. If we really want to do anything, we can wait until then." "That's right." Li Guohong nodded.

After lunch, Lin Xiuhong went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Because it was Yan Zhusheng's turn to wash the dishes today, Yan Zhusheng righteously stopped Ying Chanxi who wanted to show her courtesy, and pointed to the house-sharing rules on the sliding door very seriously, saying that she would wash the dishes today and asked Xixi to go to the living room to rest.

Then Yan Zhusheng walked straight into the kitchen, closed the sliding door, walked to Lin Xiuhong, and obediently helped her wash the dishes.

By the afternoon, other members of the seven-member study group also arrived one after another.

Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong were pleased to see their seven children sitting around the desk, studying hard.

"Li Luo has really grown up." Lin Xiuhong stood at the other end of the corridor and spoke in a low voice, afraid to disturb them. "It's been less than a year in the blink of an eye. It feels like a dream."

"Yeah." Li Guohong couldn't help but sigh, "Who would have thought that this kid would suddenly become enlightened? Before the high school entrance exam, you said that Li Luo could make millions in less than a year, who would believe it? It's not like buying a lottery ticket."

"We are going to enjoy our life now, right?" Lin Xiuhong smiled, covering her mouth. "Li Luo asked us before, should we continue to run our breakfast shop?"

"Bullshit!" Li Guohong rolled his eyes. "I've worked hard for a month, but I still don't get as much as this guy earns in two days. What else is there to do?"

"That's not what you said before." Lin Xiuhong said while holding back her laughter.

"How can it be the same? Were we worried about how long it would take him to finish writing this book?" Li Guohong smacked his lips. He felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about how Li Luo showed them the royalties in April, which was more than 500,000 yuan.

This money is so easy to make.

He felt a little numb from watching it.

But even in this situation, Li Guohong still tried to stay rational and whispered: "In short, Li Luo is indeed in a good momentum now, but after the storefront house matter comes to an end, we have to remind him not to think about other investments."

"Four storefronts, plus this house in Bi Hai Lan Ting, are really enough."

"If the subway is really opened there, the housing prices around here will at least double. Can you imagine how much that would cost?"

"The four stores, combined, should have an area of ​​about 300 square meters, right? The total price is more than 4 million."

"If it doubles, that would be more than 8 million. If the increase is even greater, it would be tens of millions of assets."

"Li Luo is still making money from this book. According to him, he can write for at least two to three years. How much money does this make?"

"It is said that it is easy to build an empire but difficult to keep it. The most important thing for us now is not to invest in real estate, but to pay attention to Li Luo."

"What are you paying attention to him for?" Lin Xiuhong asked curiously.

"Be careful not to let him get carried away." Li Guohong reminded in a low voice, "Once this guy has money, he will easily turn bad. We have to be careful and don't let this kid cause any trouble."

"What could possibly happen? I go to school every day." Lin Xiuhong was a little confused when she heard him say that.

"You really don't understand what people say, right?" Li Guohong looked helpless, then pouted and pointed to the desk over there, "Look, Xixi, Zhusheng, and Youyu, these three girls are hanging around me every day."

"There are two pretty girls next to them."

"There are so many girls in the school who are completely obsessed with him."

"He has money in his pocket, is handsome, can play the guitar and sing, can write songs and novels, is the class monitor, and is a good student..."

"Hey..." After hearing his nonsense, Lin Xiuhong came to her senses. "If you hadn't told me, I would have been confused... Is this guy so nice now?"

The main reason is that Li Luo spends most of his time in school and doesn’t spend much time with his parents.

Although Lin Xiuhong has been shocked by Li Luo's income and personal changes in recent days, part of her impression of her son still remains in the image of the bad boy he was a year ago.

After hearing what Li Guohong said, Lin Xiuhong immediately realized that his son was really too outstanding now.

No wonder so many girls are willing to revolve around him.

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiuhong asked in a low voice, "Xixi and the others are good friends, right? What if they don't really have that intention? We can't say anything."

"Ahem... that's just what I said." Li Guohong coughed and said, "It seems that he is still honest now, but it's better to be more careful in normal times to prevent any trouble."

"I thought you were going to say something." Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him. "They are still young, and their main focus is definitely on studying. Xixi and the others are sensible children, and they won't be ignorant of their own limits."

The couple whispered for a while and decided not to disturb them from studying anymore. At around one o'clock in the afternoon, they said goodbye and prepared to leave Bi Hai Lan Ting.

Before leaving, Lin Xiuhong asked, "Youyu, will your father or mother come to the parents' meeting next week?"

"My dad is here to attend." Xu Youyu responded, "Auntie, my mom said she will come with you and help with cooking."

"Okay." Lin Xiuhong nodded with a smile, "I've added your mother's phone number before, I'll contact her directly when the time comes."

"No problem." Xu Youyu made an OK gesture, "I'll tell her later."

……

After seeing off Li Guohong and his wife, the seven-member study group continued to immerse themselves in their studies.

Especially Xu Yinghuan, who is now very motivated to study.

Because she had been studying with Li Luo and others recently, she felt that the midterm exams a few days ago were a lot easier.

It is estimated that the results will increase significantly this time.

And the final test result was just as she felt.

After the May Day holiday, the time came to the day before the parent-teacher meeting.

The school’s bulletin board posted the latest individual performance rankings from the midterm exam.

When Xu Yinghuan saw that she ranked 357th in the school, she immediately hugged Yan Zhusheng beside her and cheered excitedly.

"Zhu Sheng, did you see that? 357! That's a hundred places higher than my ranking in the entrance exam!"

"Yes, I saw it." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Congratulations."

On the other side, Li Luo stood in front of the bulletin board and found Yan Zhusheng's name. He then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You ranked 156th this time. You have improved. You are now in the top 160."

"Wow! Zhu Sheng, you are so awesome." Xu Yinghuan couldn't help but say.

"You did well in the physics exam this time." Li Luo glanced at Yan Zhusheng's specific scores in each subject.

Among the six minor subjects, geography is still Yan Zhusheng's strong point. He scored 100 out of 95 points, ranking among the top in the whole school in this subject.

Physics also performed well this time, and was actually slightly better than chemistry and biology. Other than that, history was about the same as chemistry and biology. As for politics, it was indeed Yan Zhusheng's weak point.

"It's all thanks to Teacher Li's good teaching." Yan Zhusheng responded seriously.

"Teacher Li?" Xu Yinghuan at the side was puzzled. "Teacher Li teaches mathematics, right? The physics teacher's last name is not Li."

Yan Zhusheng glanced at her and commented, "Huanhuan is stupid."

After Yan Zhusheng said this, Xu Yinghuan finally reacted, and then looked at Li Luo, and was immediately speechless: "You are not talking about this Teacher Li, are you? You two really know how to have fun."

"Teacher Li's teaching level is very high." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "Didn't you make progress this time?"

"I basically just ask about Xixi and Xinyan." Xu Yinghuan rolled her eyes, "If I have to praise anything, it's them."

"That's right." Yan Zhusheng nodded and said with great satisfaction, "Teacher Li only teaches me."

"Ah~" Xu Yinghuan rubbed her arms and felt goose bumps all over her body. "Look at how your teacher Li ranked in the exam. I can't stand you two anymore."

"No. 16 in the whole school." Yan Zhusheng pointed to the front column of the bulletin board and easily found Li Luo's name.

"It's just so-so." Li Luo put his hands in his pockets and smiled indifferently, "I still didn't make it into the top ten."

I can only say that the group of academic masters in front are the real perverts... He even used cheats but still couldn't beat them.

Although this is also related to the fact that he did not fully focus on studying, it also shows the talent and hard work of these academic masters.

"It's just so-so~" Xu Yinghuan imitated Li Luo's tone, gritted her teeth and pouted, "Damn it, you said it so lightly! I have already tried my best to get a rank of more than 300!"

"Yeah." Qiao Xinyan also went downstairs to look at the list. She glanced at her 18th place and couldn't help but sigh, "I was surpassed by Li Luo again."

"Where is Xixi?" Li Luo turned his head and saw Qiao Xinyan coming down alone, and asked in confusion.

"Teacher Sun called me to her office. It seems like she has something to ask her." Qiao Xinyan said this and saw Ying Chanxi coming down the stairs. "Here, isn't he here?"

Li Luo followed her line of sight and saw Ying Chanxi walking towards her with a calm expression, but the look in his eyes seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Li Luo touched her head and asked in confusion, "Why did Teacher Sun look for you?"

"He wants me to change my college entrance examination application." Ying Chanxi said helplessly, "I told him before that I don't want to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University, I only want to go to Qianjiang University, but today he even invited the president."

"Are you okay?" Li Luo asked with a frown.

"They thought I chose Qianjiang University because of you." Ying Chanxi pursed his lips, "I asked them to call my dad. Anyway, I would definitely choose Qianjiang University."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Li Luo was a little amused. After hearing the last part, Li Luo fell silent again and patted her shoulder: "It's okay. I believe the principal and others will understand."

After all, that was the alma mater where Ying Chanxi's late mother once studied.

As early as when his mother passed away, Ying Chanxi had already decided on that place.

This matter really has nothing to do with Li Luo. It just happens that Li Luo is now able to be admitted to Qianjiang University.

After all, Li Luo remembered very clearly that in his previous life, even though he and Ying Chanxi parted ways before the high school entrance examination, Ying Chanxi still managed to be admitted to Qianjiang University.

This will not change due to the influence of his rebirth.

"We have already agreed that we will go to Qianjiang University to continue our studies together." Li Luo pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "Don't think too much about other things. We are the top students in the grade."

"Got it, don't pinch my face." Ying Chanxi nudged his chest and whispered, "There are people watching around."
