Chapter 2 Still Have to Learn

After three rounds, Tao Xinyi smiled as promised, but there was no smile in her eyes, showing a hint of loneliness and disappointment.

Lu Ming recalled the rock-paper-scissors game just now, his expression was a little dull, and he opened his mouth several times but closed it again.

He wanted to ask Tao Xinyi clearly, and wanted to know if he was the one she had a crush on back then.

But what to do after asking?
If Tao Xinyi really said that she likes her, what should she do?
Do I want to be Tao Xinyi's boyfriend and fall in love in the third year of high school?

Lu Ming couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to ask further questions, so he pretended to be immersed in the sea of ​​questions for the time being.It is impossible to say that he really doesn't like Tao Xinyi at all, but the college entrance examination is coming, so let's not mention it now.

Maybe, I just thought too much...

At dusk, because it was Friday and there was no evening self-study, after school Lu Ming leaned on the billboard at the station with his schoolbag on his back and waited for the bus. Tao Xinyi's figure flashed in his mind from time to time.

Perhaps because of what she was thinking, Tao Xinyi took the hand of her best friend Lin Xuan and walked down the long slope. She caught a glimpse of him and said hello to him.

Seeing this, Lu Ming smirked and waved at her. The evening wind blew her long hair, and the setting sun dyed her cheeks red.

Suddenly, Lu Ming felt that his heart was scalded, as if being ignited by fire, and his hands were slightly numb.

At this moment, the announcement of the arrival of the bus interrupted Lu Ming's reverie.He followed the crowd onto the bus, looked in Tao Xinyi's direction and shouted, "See you later!"

Tao Xin stopped in mid-air, and stood there in a daze, being teased by Lin Xuan for a long time.

During the day, Lu Ming felt a dozen or so dollars in his pocket, probably pocket change from his savings. After the popularization of QR code payment, he hadn't touched banknotes for a long time.He got off the car and turned to the vegetable market near the community, bought some fresh vegetables, radishes, and cut half a catty of pork.

In his previous life, Lu Ming always waited for his mother to come home before cooking. Even if his mother was in sales, she would not get home until after seven o'clock in the evening.

And Lu Ming's father drives a taxi, and he can earn more by driving for a few more hours at night, and he can't come back before ten o'clock every day.When he was young, Lu Ming's father, Lu Guofu, always drove all night in order to teach Lu Ming a hobby class.

But the increase in Lu Guofu's income can't keep up with the increase in the tuition fees for hobby classes, even if he works late at night, he can't afford it, and the painting he originally learned is gone.

After Lu Ming graduated from graduate school and joined a big factory to make money, he came home from get off work at night and was so tired that he didn't even want to move. Sometimes he was not interested in electronic impotence games.

This is still a mental activity for him, which is relatively easy, and he can still catch fish. Work like parents can only be harder.

Now that I am reborn, I will cook for my parents. After all, I am the first to go home.

Their house is small, with two bedrooms and one living room. After entering the door, Lu Ming swept the floor scribbled, washed the rice and put it in the rice cooker to be bored. He turned on his phone and played a brisk bgm for himself, then turned and went into the kitchen.

Originally, Lu Ming didn't know how to cook. At that time, he thought that he would just find a girlfriend who could cook. A good man would never cook.

But the relationship broke up while talking. He thought about finding a wife after thinking about it, but he didn't meet the right one.

But my mother was worried that he would not be able to eat well in big cities, so she forced him to learn how to cook when he returned home during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Ming knew that his mother was doing it for his own good, and in the end she was able to cook a few decent home-cooked dishes. Only those who can cook are good men.

He cut the lean meat into strips, marinated it with starch at will, washed and chopped the cabbage he bought, cut a few green garlic sprouts, and processed some onion, ginger and garlic.After washing his hands, he took out his flip phone and called his mother, Meng Ruohua.

"Mom, what time will you get home?"

"Probably around seven-twenty. If you're hungry, have some snacks. I'm stuck in traffic here."

"Well, I'm not hungry. I'll cook today. You just go home and don't buy groceries."

"You kid can cook? If you fail the exam, you can't pass it! Let me tell you, now the third year of high school is about to get grades, I should scold you or I will scold you!"

"Mom, I didn't. I just cooked a meal. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Ming hung up the phone, not wanting to listen to Ms. Meng's endless chatter.

Now at [-]:[-], the two dishes can be cooked in ten minutes, so Lu Ming took out his physics exercise book and began to write.

Rebirth is not as lofty as in the book, nor is it easy to stir up troubles.He has to continue to do the homework that should be done, and he can't escape the sprint of the college entrance examination.

He has forgotten a lot of knowledge points, so he has to learn it again, so that his parents will not be angry when they look at his report card next time.

At this time, the Internet was in its ascendant, and as an old programmer, I should also catch this ride.

But these are not urgent, the most important thing for him now is to study quickly and make up for the knowledge points he forgot.

Lu Ming felt that these physics problems were really tricky, not because they were so difficult, but because he had forgotten all the formulas, so he could write a fart.

In desperation, Lu Ming had to dig out the textbook and study it again.

It was almost seven o'clock, and he had barely finished half of his physics homework, not to mention any homework from other classes.It's just homework. I can't finish studying today and can't write it. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are Saturday and Sunday, and I can still work hard for two more days.

Estimating the time, Lu Ming stopped writing, went into the kitchen and skillfully turned on the range hood, followed by the sound of "crackling" cooking, and the aroma escaped from the pot.

When he put the two dishes on the table, Meng Ruohua's knock on the door also sounded.

With a "click", Lu Ming turned the door handle and pushed the door open.Meng Ruohua stood outside the door, looking at him with unconcealed tiredness, her shoulder-length short hair was slightly disheveled, her youthful beauty could be vaguely seen between her brows, and the two nasolabial folds on her face were obviously chalked up.

When he was 28, Meng Ruohua was 48 years old, and he had a lot of gray hair on his head, which may be due to too much hard work when he was young, and he was very old.

Seeing Meng Ruohua, who is now 38 years old, Lu Ming's nose felt sore: "Mom, it's time to eat."

With that said, Lu Ming went into the kitchen to set up the dishes.

Seeing Lu Ming's sensible appearance, Meng Ruohua's heart was full of alarm bells, but his hungry stomach was attracted by the stir-fried cabbage and green garlic fried meat, so he sat down and ate the moderately soft and hard rice.

"Do you want a new phone?"

"No, I'm hungry just waiting for dinner every day. If there is no evening self-study in the future, I will cook. Anyway, I will take a break when I am tired from studying."

"Okay, it seems that you have grown up, but cooking is secondary. The most important thing for you now is to improve your grades. Look at Tao Xinyi, who is at the same table as you, she is amazing, learn from her. "

Hearing Tao Xinyi's name, Lu Ming instantly felt a little unnatural, and quickly changed the subject: "Mom, are you trading in stocks?"

"What kind of stocks are you speculating in? That's gambling. One of my classmates is still in business. He lost millions by speculating in stocks!"

After being rejected by Meng Ruohua, Lu Ming did not give up. At this stage, stock trading is the fastest way he can think of to improve his family's conditions.

But that is also a double-edged sword. As long as the opening of stock trading is torn open, it will be difficult for him to completely control his parents' stock trading operations.

If my parents bought a junk stock behind my back, they might be able to sell the house at a loss.

"Mom, if this is not the case, if I get into the top 3000 in my grade in the next monthly exam, can you give me [-] yuan and let me use it as I please?"
