After saying goodbye to Wei Yuan and Qin Yuhan, Li Dong walked to the door of the old house that he hadn't seen for a long time. He felt a little homesick.
In his previous life, he had never been here since his parents passed away.
Opening the door, he saw an old two-bedroom house with old furniture, but it attracted Li Dong's soul. The familiar smell made him fascinated.
He took a deep breath. His busy parents obviously didn't have much time to clean the house. It had been raining for the past two days, and there was still a faint moldy smell in the house.
Taking off his coat, he went to the bathroom to get a basin of water. Li Dong picked up a rag and began to clean. At this moment, he was very happy and didn't feel tired at all.
…
When the house looked new, Li Dong was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa and gasped.
After a while, there was the sound of keys clanking outside the door.
Li Dong looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already half past eight. His parents were back.
It was Li Chengyuan, Li Chengyuan's father, who pushed the door open. He looked a little older than his actual age, and his face, which had not seen the sun all year round, had an unhealthy paleness.
Li Chengyuan looked at the new house, which was obviously unprepared. There was a touch of surprise in his eyes. Then he turned to Cao Fang, who was changing shoes, and smiled, "Honey, did we go the wrong door?"
Li Dong's mother, Cao Fang, looked up and saw her son half leaning on the sofa with tears on his face. She couldn't help but tease, "We didn't go the wrong way, but our son was so tired that he was crying."
"Hahaha …"
Li Chengyuan was stunned. He glanced at Li Dong and laughed out loud.
Li Dong was embarrassed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Seeing his dead parents appear in front of him again, even if he had expected it, it still brought him a great shock.
Before, whether it was seeing his teachers or classmates, he would at most sigh a few times. But seeing his closest relatives come back to life, Li Dong really felt the happiness of being reborn.
"Dad, mom …" Li Dong's tone was slightly choked, but he quickly covered it up and said, "I'm hungry. Did you bring food back?"
"Yes, I did. I knew you didn't eat!"
Cao Fang nagged for a while and took out the food in her hands. As she walked, she said, "I've cooked two dishes for you. There are still eggs and tomatoes at home. I'll go make you some soup. Remember to eat earlier next time. Don't save money to go to the internet cafe. It's almost the college entrance examination, and you still don't let us save money …"
Li Dong squinted his eyes and enjoyed the long-lost warmth. Acting like a spoiled child, he said, "Mom, I like the soup you make the most. Make more. I haven't had it in a long time." Li Dong's eyes narrowed.
"Hehe, brat, you only know how to coax me! I made you a big pot the day before yesterday, but you fainted after drinking a spoonful … "
In the kitchen, his mother began to get busy. Li Chengyuan, who was tired after a day, leaned on the sofa and said with a tired face, "Dongzi, the college entrance examination is coming soon. Take this time to work hard and get into a good university. Don't be like me in the future, where you can only sell fish and shrimp."
In the past, Li Dong was most impatient when his father said this, but now he said meekly, "Got it, dad. Don't worry. Even if I don't get into a famous university, I will definitely have no problem getting into a university."
"Haha, that's good! Your dad suffered because he didn't study enough. Otherwise, he would be a billionaire now … "
He did not interrupt his father's bragging. This was one of his father's few hobbies. He listened quietly and gently tapped his father's hunched back. After a while, he heard a slight snore.
He was too tired. He had to go out at two or three o 'clock every night to stock up.
Aquatic products were different from other businesses. If he bought too much at one time, he would die if he couldn't sell it. That was a loss-making business. A small business could not afford to be tossed around. He could only choose to sell and stock up on the same day.
Then, he would open the stall at five or six in the morning. He would be busy from day to night. There were few businesses that were more tiring than this.
…
After Cao Fang made the soup, she came out to call her father, who was asleep. Because they had to wake up early, the two of them simply washed up and went to sleep.
Li Dong did not disturb them. He quietly finished his meal and drank the soup. Only then did he touch his stomach and let out a long sigh of relief.
He did not throw the bowl and chopsticks aside like he usually did. Li Dong washed the bowl and chopsticks before entering his room.
Picking up a book that he had not read for a long time, Li Dong seriously reviewed it. Although he had not touched a book for many years, he still had the basics. In addition, his adult mind was more mature. After a simple look, he felt that it was easier to accept the knowledge than before.
Only then did Li Dong let out a sigh of relief. Although he said that he was great, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried. Now, it seemed that he still had hope.
It was late at night, and it was almost two o 'clock. Li Dong put down his book and lay down to sleep.
…
It had been many years since he had such a good night's sleep. When Li Dong woke up the next morning, he felt very at ease and satisfied.
His parents had already gone out. The food was heated in the rice cooker. There was a hundred yuan left on the table.
Li Dong was not unreasonable. Now he did not have the capital to refuse his parents. Before he made money, he did not have the qualifications to let his parents give up this hard work to maintain the family's life.
After a quick breakfast, Li Dong carried his schoolbag to school. Along the way, he was thinking about how to make a sum of money as soon as possible. At least enough to let his parents give up the current seafood business.
After thinking for a long time, Li Dong did not have a clue. If he had the capital, he would still have a lot of ideas in his mind to make a sum of money.
But touching his pocket, plus the one hundred yuan that his parents gave him in the morning. He used to go to the Internet cafe often without any surplus. His total assets were 13450 yuan. This money was not enough to do anything.
Reborn people also have troubles. Obviously, now Li Dong was more troubled.
On the one hand, he needed to review for a better university. On the other hand, he was anxious to improve his family life so that his parents would not be tired. It seemed that it was not as easy as he imagined.
When he arrived at school, Li Dong did not have a complete idea. Until Wang Jie inadvertently said something that made Li Dong have some ideas.
"Dongzi, how about we go to Dongfang Square to play tonight? Tomorrow is not easy to have a day off. Tonight we go out to play and change our minds. "
"Dongfang Square … …"
Li Dong's eyes were slightly bright. Dongping County was located inland. The development was not fast. The urban area was not large.
However, the bustling Dongfang Square was no less than some second or third tier cities. It was not known which leader's hot-headed political achievement project. Now it has become a leisure place for the people of Dongping County.
It was brightly lit at night. Especially in the summer, it was noisy all night long. The number of people coming and going was no less than some metropolis.
In particular, there were several small commodity markets and pedestrian streets nearby. This made Dongfang Square more prosperous. It was faintly developing into the center of the county.
Although there were some clues, Li Dong had not yet thought about what he should do next.
Thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Okay, let's go take a look tonight."
"Li Dong, Wang Jie, I'll go too. Don't forget to take me!"
Chen Yue, who was sitting in front of Li Dong, heard the conversation between the two. She could not help but interject. She liked to be lively and wanted to participate.
Li Dong nodded indifferently. He was not interested. If it was a beauty like Qin Yuhan, he would be excited. But Chen Yue could only be regarded as a pretty daughter of a humble family. She could not attract Li Dong's attention.
Men are all the same. They all look at the face. If conditions permit, no one would mind marrying a beautiful wife. As for those guys who can't eat grapes, they don't count.
But Wang Jie was very happy. Ma Tou and Chen Yue began to discuss what to play tonight.
While they were talking, Chen Yue pushed her deskmate, who was also the class beauty Yuan Xue. She said: "Little Xue, do you want to go tonight? Aren't you tired of reading all day? You're the first in the class. You're still working so hard. "
Yuan Xue chuckled and shook her head. She did not look at Wang Jie's expectant face. She lightly said: "I don't want to go. You guys go and play."
Li Dong curled his lips and did not make a sound.
Speaking of which, Li Dong's third year of high school had more females than males. Whether it was the liberal arts class or the science class, the girls dominated the first place. Not to mention the liberal arts class' Qin Yuhan, Li Dong's science class was unexpectedly dominated by the girls. It was pitiful.
Yuan Xue not only had good grades, but she was also beautiful. Although there was no such thing as a school flower or a class flower, Yuan Xue was recognized as the class flower. She was also the dream lover of almost all the boys in the class.
It was said almost because these people did not include Li Dong. It is reasonable to say that everyone loves beautiful women. Li Dong was no exception.
He did not know why, whether it was the young Li Dong or the current Li Dong, he did not like Yuan Xue very much. There was no contradiction between the two, but he did not like her high and mighty appearance. He felt that she was especially pretentious.
Seeing Yuan Xue, Li Dong could not help but think of Qin Yuhan. Qin Yuhan's grades were good and she was beautiful. Although she was not necessarily more beautiful than Yuan Xue, Li Dong liked Qin Yuhan from the bottom of his heart.
After so many years in his previous life, he could sometimes think of Qin Yuhan's sly smile. But for a long time, he could not remember Yuan Xue's appearance. Even if he and Yuan Xue were classmates for three years, he and Qin Yuhan only met dozens of times in high school.
"Pei!"
Li Dong suddenly spat at himself. Why did he suddenly think of Qin Yuhan, that naughty girl?
He thought that it was probably because he had been single for too long. Now that he suddenly reunited with the big loli, he could not hide the joy in his heart.
"If I can really marry that naughty girl as my wife, it is not bad. At least we have a common language. It is also good to see her smile every day when I go home." Unknowingly, Li Dong thought far ahead. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile.
On this side, Li Dong was immersed in his own fantasies. But in the eyes of others, it was not so.
Just as Yuan Xue said that she did not want to go, Li Dong suddenly spat and revealed a disdainful smile. This time, Yuan Xue was really angry.
After all, she was still young and did not have the shrewdness of those women in society. Yuan Xue's delicate face slightly darkened. She said coldly, "Li Dong, what do you mean?"
Li Dong's thoughts were interrupted. He raised his head with a blank face.
Wang Jie was slightly embarrassed. He pulled Li Dong's clothes, telling Li Dong not to speak.
