As night falls, the scorching heat of summer still lingers, and it's hot everywhere.
The only shady place is the back garden, where a breeze blows from time to time, blowing away the heat while also bringing a touch of coolness to those who are cooling off under the trees.
Xue Ling accompanied several elderly people to enjoy the cool under the trees in the back garden while eating fruit.
Liu Ying frowned and asked in disgust: "Where did this apple come from? Why is it so sour?"
"It's normal for new apples to be a little sour." Xue Ling smiled and said, "Mom, why don't you eat a small banana."
Liu Ying shook her head: "No, I get diarrhea easily when eating bananas. As we get older, even sweet fruits will feel sour. If we eat a little too much, I will get diarrhea immediately."
"Yes, that's the case." Xue's mother agreed.
Father Xue looked at the dragon fruit beside him in a daze and explained: "I heard that this thing can only bloom, and the fruit it produces is tasteless...and not delicious."
"Yes." Xue Ling replied: "This is a tropical fruit. It's hard to grow it here. It's good enough that it can bloom a few beautiful flowers for us to enjoy."
Mother Xue laughed and praised: "The flowers are quite beautiful, very similar to night-blooming cereus."
"Yes! It's so beautiful!" Liu Ying gave a thumbs up and laughed: "It's a pity that it only blooms for a short time and doesn't last long. In my opinion, orchids are better. They bloom for several days or even a month.
"
Xue Ling looked forward and found that the third and fourth children were still eating dinner, with their heads buried as if looking at their mobile phones.
"These two guys have been eating for more than half an hour! Why don't you just eat your mobile phone instead of eating?"
The three old men laughed.
"Don't worry about them! Finally, the college entrance examination is over. You can have fun as you like and let them go."
"Yes, yes! When school starts, I'll have to get busy again!"
Liu Ying blinked her presbyopic eyes and asked: "Ling, earlier I seemed to have heard that the third child said that he wanted to major in art... to be a painter, right?"
"Yes." Xue Ling replied: "He has taken the art exam before and his scores are quite high. But the teachers think that his scores are very good and he can apply for other majors. Don't worry, let him wait until his scores come out.
Choose.”
"He loves painting, let him choose what he likes." Xue's father said earnestly: "The study tasks in the past two years have been heavy, and he is reluctant to give up. Such a deep hobby can allow a child to persist silently for so long.
"
Xue Ling whispered in embarrassment: "A Yuan said...if you choose art, you won't have much choice in future employment. However, I am open to it."
"What are you afraid of!" Xue's mother said angrily: "I haven't studied yet, so why are I worried about employment? If our children still have to worry about employment, then what's the use of you and A Yuan struggling for most of your life? He has two to three billion to his name.
He has assets, but he still has to worry about not being able to find a job? If he doesn’t have money and can’t choose his favorite major or get a job, that’s definitely helpless, right? But he’s not short of money, so he still can’t do something he likes? What’s the point?
ah!"
"Yes, yes." Xue Ling said with a smile: "You are right, you are right. I have no objection. He is already so old anyway, so they should choose their own major."
"What about Xiaoxin?" Father Xue asked: "She majored in liberal arts, right? Has she already chosen one?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "She was still hesitating. One moment she said she wanted to major in archeology, and the other moment she wanted to major in Chinese language. I ignored her and let her choose carefully. I originally wanted her to major in business administration, but she didn't seem to like it very much.
.There are so many majors now and there are so many choices, let her choose."
"Are the results coming out soon?" Father Xue rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "...I'm so nervous."
Xue's mother rolled her eyes: "Both of them are top students in Imperial No. 1 Middle School. Let's not talk about extraordinary performance. Just passing the exam normally will be enough to go to the best university in God. What are you nervous about? What are you so nervous about?"
Everyone laughed.
At this moment, the back door opened - Ah Hu led Wang Qing and walked in one after another.
Everyone greeted them and asked them to sit down and enjoy the cool air together.
"No..." Ahu laughed awkwardly, pointed at Xue Ling and explained: "We, husband and wife, are here to ask Ling Ling about something. Wait, we'll finish talking in a while, and we'll come back to enjoy the cool breeze and drink tea with you."
"go Go!"
Xue Ling led the couple to the study room and turned on the air conditioner.
"Would you like lemonade or plain water? Tea is also available."
Wang Qing stopped and explained with a sigh: "Drinking lemonade will make you feel nauseated. If you are a little older, you won't dare to drink anything except boiled water."
"Then just boiled water." Xue Ling poured a cup for each person and asked, "Where is the little tiger? Was he taken out to play by his aunt?"
Ahu replied: "Yes, Xiaoyun took him out for a ride on a bicycle. Xiaohuzi took Shanyou for a walk and was not at home. The two of us sneaked out."
Xue Ling asked funnyly: "Sneaking away? Why? What needs to be done secretly?"
Wang Qing and Ahu looked at each other and sighed one after another.
"Ling Ling, you've seen Xiaoyun's boyfriend before, right? Ahu drove him away, but he didn't give up at all. In the past few days, he has been quietly pestering Xiaoyun to get back together. Xiaoyun
She is a soft-hearted girl who doesn’t know how to say no, and she definitely can’t stand his molestation. Xiaoyun even asked for leave this afternoon to secretly go out with him. Xiaohuzi was very angry when he found out, but he didn’t dare to tell her face to face. He went home and secretly discussed with us what should be done.
what to do."
"Oh?" Xue Ling asked in surprise: "Does he still have the guts to come to the door again?"
Ahu snorted coldly: "The thief is so brave!"
Wang Qing smiled bitterly: "What I'm most afraid of is that thieves will miss me! I don't have to see that kid, just listening to Xiaoyun and some of your stories, I'm already half-angry! He's convinced that our Xiaoyun is too honest, so he dares to do this
He is too arrogant! Xiaoyun is young and this is her first love. She has always been weak-tempered. We are worried that he will be too tight and Xiaoyun may really get back together with him."
Xue Ling asked: "Didn't you stop me? Didn't you persuade Xiaoyun?"
"Why not!" Ahu said in a deep voice: "I have said it hundreds of times! But every time she said they had broken up, so let's not be nagging. If she has an idea, we don't have to worry. But she doesn't have anything to worry about.
no!"
Wang Qing was embarrassed and whispered: "That man kept saying he wanted to get back together with her. Today... today he seemed to have proposed to her with a rose. Although Xiaoyun didn't accept it, she was obviously shaken."
Xue Ling frowned and explained: "That man is very good at coaxing girls. He is typically a man who can only talk sweet words and has no sense of responsibility. What's even more terrifying is that he is also a mama's boy who has high ambitions but low power. Xiaoyun is just his girlfriend, he
If my mother dares to say cold words to her, then she won’t be able to go to heaven after getting married? According to Xiaoyun’s temperament, marrying him will only lead to suffering and injustice.”
Ahu and Wang Qing shook their heads firmly: "Marriage is definitely not possible!"
