Chapter 3 A party that broke up unhappily
The next day, after only half a day of class, the school took a holiday to prepare for tomorrow's third model.
Luo Pengxu's family is in the city, but it is a relatively remote place. It takes more than an hour to get home by bus.
Today is his father's birthday. According to custom, relatives at home will come to the house for a meal.
Luo Pengxu has two uncles, but they both work as forest rangers in the mountains. Usually, they can only meet twice during the Chinese New Year. There are only two aunts who often come and go.
His family’s conditions are not good, so they don’t have the spare money to arrange for a hotel.
My parents are both ordinary workers and they are laid off one after another a year later.
Luo Pengxu was not doing well in college. His family saved money for his studies. It was impossible for him to spend money like other students.
It was during this period that my father went to a construction site in the south to do hard work, while my mother stayed in her hometown to take care of the elderly and did odd jobs at the same time.
Although he lived a little richer later, the two old men left a lot of illness and had to go to the hospital every now and then.
He was sitting on the bus at this moment and secretly swore that he would not let his parents suffer so much this time. He was already an adult and should take on the heavy responsibility.
When I got home, my mother was working in the kitchen, and my two aunts were helping with it.
My father sat on the sofa and sucked the clouds and mists with his two uncles.
Luo Pengxu said hello and wanted to help his mother with work, but was pushed out by three women.
"Quick into the house to read books, and I'll call you after dinner!"
He was unwilling to communicate more with his two uncles. One of them was snobbish and the other was stingy. He had no choice but to hide in his room.
I found a cassette and put it in the recorder.
Before I could listen to two songs, the sound of my mother calling for dinner came from outside.
Although the Peng family is average in terms of conditions, they are never stingy when entertaining outsiders. The sum of today's meal is no less than the scale of the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Brother-in-law, please think carefully. The quota for my classmate is also limited. You can decide early so I can help Xiaoyu decide a seat in advance."
The person who spoke was his second uncle. He worked in the municipal power supply bureau and didn't like to pay attention to the Luo family. There was no other reason except for being poor.
But this year, he has been running to Luo's house a lot because he has a classmate who runs a private vocational school in another city and recruits a student, which can give him a 500 yuan bonus.
After thinking about it, Luo Pengxu, who was in the college entrance examination this year, became his first goal.
Luo Pengxu was angry when he remembered this. The pheasant school run by his classmate was sealed a few years ago because the man had a KTV in the school and forced the female students from the school to do part-time jobs. He was reported to him by the reporter.
The news caused a lot of controversy at the time, and the whole country was full of abuse.
My second uncle wanted to sell himself just for five hundred yuan.
If it weren't for the good guy of the second aunt, Luo Pengxu would have wished he would have blown this person out now.
Before Dad Luo could speak, he heard the third uncle next to him echo.
"Brother-in-law, why are you hesitating? When our child goes there, there is a principal who is guarding you, you will be much more worried."
Luo Pengxu thought for a while and understood the truth.
If I really get into university, I have to hold a banquet, but if I go to a vocational school, with my father's favorable face, I will most likely not hold a college entrance banquet.
In this way, you can save money as you like. When you set out, buy some instant noodles, ham sausages, mineral water, etc., and you will be given up.
Looking at the two uncles with each other, Luo Pengxu was so angry that he was so angry that his aunt was also unlucky. Why did he marry such two strange guys?
After drinking a glass of wine, Luo said lightly, "The child is grown up and has his own idea. He just wants to take the exam, even if he repeats the exam for a few more years. Your sister and I are willing to offer."
"Tsk, brother-in-law, you're thinking well. You don't look at Xiaoxu's brain. If he can get into college, it will be smoke from the ancestral grave of your Luo family."
The second uncle said while using chopsticks to pick the dishes and curled his lips.
"There is nothing to do when going to college. I will tell you that my classmates are senior talents from school, and the large southern companies are all rushing to ask for it. It is much more popular than ordinary universities!"
Seeing that he was talking more and more presumptuously, Luo Pengxu bullied his father honestly openly and secretly, he said sarcastically.
"Second uncle, your classmate's school is so good, why don't you let my cousin go? Why did you let her go to college?"
After hearing this, his second uncle didn't know how to answer for a while. After holding it in for a while, he squeezed out, "Speak, don't get involved in the children."
At this time, Mom Peng also spoke, "This child is 180% adults. Why are you talking to your uncle? You are so ignorant?"
Although he was talking about his son, he was clearly talking about his second uncle in secret.
Luo Pengxu couldn't help but give his mother a thumbs up.
Although my mother is friendly, if it involves her family, she is also a cruel person who can be willing to do so. When she was young, she was also very stingy.
It seems that my father was attracted by this.
The second uncle also organized the language and began to persuade him again. "Sister, that's not what he said. Xiaoxu is young and ignorant. Are you and my brother-in-law still ignorant? This is a big event for the child for the rest of his life, so he dare not be careless!"
Luo Pengxu tilted his head, stared at him tightly, and asked, "Second uncle, I haven't taken the college entrance examination yet, why are you sure I won't get the exam? If I pass the exam, how disappointed will you be?"
"You kid don't have to brag. Your class teacher is Yaoyao's teacher. How can I not know your grades? If you can get into college, I will swallow your desk."
He had to continue speaking, but Luo Pengxu did not give him this opportunity and said directly, "A word is certain, and the man speaks, one spits and one nail. Everyone here is witness. If I pass the exam, I will inform you to come to my house for a table and banquet as soon as possible!"
Seeing Luo Pengxu talking like he had eaten gunpowder, his third uncle quietly put down the raised wine glass again, and what he put down together was the words that had already reached his mouth.
The meal ended in a bad mood. The dishes on the table didn't move much, and the two uncles left one after another on the excuse of something.
Papa Peng's face was a little bit unhappy and wanted to get angry, but everyone had already left. Even if the person didn't leave, according to its personality, the fire could not be released.
Luo Pengxu was so happy. It was a harmonious and beautiful thing to have a family of three for dinner!
I was busy with work in my previous life. In order to catch up with the progress, I worked overtime every few days, but I lacked time to spend more time with my parents.
"You have seen it too. If you don't fight for your breath, our Luo family will not be able to raise their heads."
"Dad is not capable, so I hope you will be proud of your ancestors. I don't want anything. As long as you do better than your cousin Yaoyao, your dad will be content."
Dad Peng said as he drank the wine in the glass. This scene made Luo Pengxu feel very distressed.
"Dad, just look at it. It's time for your son to give you a face. You don't have to wait for the college entrance examination and the third-model parent meeting, which will make you proud!"
