Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 340

off-campus.

After the interview, Lu You and the two said goodbye to Ye Qiuyi and headed back to the school gate to wait for Li Yu and Xu Nian to come out.

"Husband, do you think if we accept an interview like this, will we be criticized by others if it becomes popular?" Logan asked with some concern.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Lu You said calmly: "We are just pretending, and we are not infringing on other people's interests. Even if we are really sprayed, there is no need to worry. We have good looks and someone will help wash the floor."

“If you have a thorough understanding of the Internet, you belong!”

Suddenly, Lu You noticed a pair of familiar figures under the big tree in front of the school gate.

"Hey, wait!"

Lu You took Tang Wan's wrist, raised her hand and pointed forward, and said, "My beloved, look over there, are they Li Yu's parents?"

Tang Wan looked in the direction Lu You pointed and suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh? That is?"

Tang Wan had only met Li Ruijin and Chen Su two or three times, and he could only have a vague impression of them. However, Tang Wan was very familiar with the other couple standing next to them.

"Nian Nian's parents are here too, and they seem to be having a pleasant chat."

"Good guy! There will be a good show later!"

"What's the show?" Logan asked doubtfully.

"you forgot?"

Lu You narrowed his eyes, looked at the four middle-aged people in the conversation with intriguing eyes, and reminded: "Your good sister and my good brother have an agreement to get together after the college entrance examination."

The flame named "Bagua" in Tang Wan's heart was instantly ignited.

"Come on, let's say hello!"

……

Liu Minzhi, Xu Nian's mother, had some lingering sadness in her furrowed brows.

"I was checking my phone last night. Many people said that this year's math was particularly difficult, and I didn't know how they did in the exam every year. I didn't dare to ask, for fear of affecting today's exam."

Chen Su's expression was on the contrary, calm and calm, without any worry.

"No matter how difficult it is, the college entrance examination has passed, so let the children have a good rest, don't ask anything, don't put pressure on them, just wait patiently for the results to be announced."

"That's right, I'm too persistent."

Xu Zhichun and Li Ruijin on the side did not interrupt. Liu Minzhi and Chen Suneng knew each other because of the parent-teacher conference in high school. They were at the front and back tables every time, and they became familiar with each other after going back and forth.

As for the two of them who are fathers, let alone parent-teacher meetings, they can count the number of times they have gone to school on one hand, and they have no overlap at work.

In their minds, this was the first time they met each other. As for the coming-of-age ceremony three months ago, they had long forgotten all about it.

At this moment, Lu You and Tang Wan appeared in front of them.

"Hello, uncle, aunt!" They both nodded in greeting.

"Oh! It's Wanwan!"

Liu Minzhi happily stepped forward to hold Tang Wan's shoulders and looked up and down.

“We haven’t seen each other for a few months, but she looks beautiful again!”

"Mama Liu, you are a lot younger too." Tang Wan replied sweetly.

"How sweet mouth!"

Liu Minzhi pinched Tang Wan's moist and smooth face and asked, "Didn't you travel abroad? When did you come back?"

"Just a few days ago, I came back to accompany every year's college entrance examination!"

"Have a heart!"

Liu Minzhi turned her gaze to Lu You next to her with a hint of inquiry.

"If I guess correctly, this handsome guy is your boyfriend, right?"

Tang Wan took Lu You's arm and admitted frankly: "Yes, Mother Liu, he is my boyfriend."

Lu You put on a polite yet friendly smile and said, "Hello Aunt Liu, I am Wanwan's boyfriend, and my name is Lu You."

"Hello."

Liu Minzhi recognized Lu You and was deeply impressed.

First, because Xu Nian mentioned it at home, second, because Lu You's name always ranks first on the honor list, and third, because of the coming-of-age ceremony in March, when he made his relationship with Tang Wan public.

The three factors added together made it difficult to remember Lu You.

Later, Tang Wan was dragged away by Liu Minzhi to chat about home affairs, while Lu You stayed where he was.

Not long after, Li Ruijin came to Lu You quietly and whispered: "Xiao Lu, uncle has a question to ask you."

Lu You raised his eyebrows. He was deeply surprised by Li Ruijin's polite attitude.

"Uncle, if you have something to say, just tell me."

"I remember that your math scores seemed pretty good."

"It's just so-so, I can barely get a gold medal with a perfect score imo." Lu You said modestly.

"Have you read this year's college entrance examination mathematics paper? Is it particularly difficult?"

Lu You felt relieved. He had probably guessed Li Ruijin's true purpose.

"Uncle, you are worried about Li Yu's math test, right?"

Li Ruijin remained silent.

As Lu You said, yesterday afternoon, when Li Yu came home from the math test, Li Ruijin clearly felt that his mood was slightly depressed, and he always maintained a thoughtful expression while eating.

When he turned on his phone after the meal, Li Ruijin immediately realized that it was probably because the math test did not go well, which caused Li Yu's bad mood.

Li Ruijin wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he was afraid that he might do bad things with good intentions and affect his comprehensive studies and English today. He had no choice but to say nothing and let Li Yu adjust on his own.

Lu You felt relieved in his heart, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Compared with the past when they ignored each other, although the relationship between the Li family and his son has not reached the point of being honest with each other, it is much better. At least they can feel their concern for each other.

"Uncle, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. You don't understand Li Yu. Your worries are completely unnecessary."

Li Ruijin's face darkened, Lu You's words directly hit his sore spot.

He did not go out to work all year round, and his relationship with Chen Su was very stable, but he still made the relationship between father and son extremely bad.

As the boss of the company and Chen Su's husband, Li Ruijin has a clear conscience, but as Li Yu's father, he considers himself a failure.

Lu You didn't notice Li Ruijin's mental activities and said to himself: "No matter how difficult the college entrance examination paper is, it will never deviate from the scope of the question outline. As long as it does not deviate from the scope, there will be no problem for candidates of Li Yu's level. Just trust him.”

"Is that so?"

Li Ruijin was dubious. His grades in high school were mediocre and he couldn't understand where Lu You had the confidence to say this.

Chen Su, who was listening in the audience, spoke out to comfort him: "Don't worry! I don't know Xiaoyu better than you do? I'm not even in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"

Li Ruijin's heart ached. The wound that Lu You had poked had not yet healed, but now Chen Su had added a pinch of salt.

"I...I listen to you."

"But Uncle Li and Aunt Chen."

Lu You glanced at the Xu family couple who were chatting and laughing with Tang Wan, and said mysteriously: "Don't worry about Li Yu's college entrance examination results, it doesn't mean you can rest assured."

"What do you mean?" Chen Su asked with confusion on his face.

Lu You shook his head and said seriously: "The secret must not be leaked. You must be mentally prepared."

Li Ruijin and Chen Su looked at each other, secretly wary.

……

After ten minutes.

Most of the parents surrounding the school gate had dispersed, and Li Yu and Xu Nian finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Xu Zhichun, who is crazy about daughters, was the first to see Xu Nian. He just put on a smile and raised his right hand, ready to call his precious eldest daughter.

"year……"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhichun seemed to see an unbelievable scene, his joyful voice suddenly stopped, and the smile froze on his face.

On the contrary, Li Ruijin's eyes gleamed, his body straightened involuntarily, and the majestic aura cultivated by many years of experience as a president was gradually released.

Li Yu and Xu Nian came to the crowd hand in hand, and their attention was immediately attracted by their father's demeanor.

One has a frighteningly dark face, and the other has a frightening spirit.

The two instigators swallowed in unison, their heartbeat rates increased crazily, and they remained silent.

Chen Su expected this, his smile bloomed like a flower, and he silently gave Li Yu a "well done" look.

Liu Minzhi stared at her clasped hands, her facial expression showing no trace of warmth.

"Xu Nian, give me a reasonable explanation."

Xu Nian's tiger body trembled, and beads of sweat oozed from his palms.

Liu Minzhi usually only calls her Nian Nian. Once he calls her by her full name, there is only one possibility, that is, Liu Minzhi gets angry.

Xu Nian retreated again, but the warmth from her hands made her puff up her chest.

Some things must be fought for with your own hands and cannot be controlled by your parents forever.

Xu Nian made up his mind and his eyes became firmer.

"Mom, you have met him. His name is Li Yu."

"Of course I've seen it! I've been sitting behind you in high school. I was among the top three in my senior year and sent you home for self-study every night. How could I not have seen it?" No matter how well the two of them hide, they can't avoid it again and again. .

In August last year, not long after the start of her senior year of high school, Liu Minzhi failed to pay attention to the time while performing a square dance and came home late. She happened to catch Xu Nian getting out of the back seat of Li Yu's car.

Instead of confronting Xu Nian immediately, she chose to stay and observe for a month, and then made insidious remarks to her class teacher Liang Jie. She even waited until the first monthly exam in September was over.

Liu Minzhi looked at Xu Nian's stable performance in the top ten of his grade, and no matter how many doubts he had, he was forcibly suppressed.

She was afraid that Xu Nian's premature love would affect her grades, but she was even more afraid that her interference would hurt the relationship between mother and daughter.

Since everything is developing in a good direction, it is better to turn a blind eye for the time being and wait and see what happens.

Facts have proved that Liu Minzhi is right.

Xu Nian's grades were as stable as Mount Tai, never falling out of the top ten in his grade, and occasionally reaching the top five once or twice.

"Tell me, what's the relationship between you two?" Liu Minzhi turned her eyes to Li Yu who said nothing.

Li Yu's back was like a thorn, and she said tremblingly: "Ah, Auntie! I, we are in a love relationship!"

"Are you stuttering? Can you speak more clearly?" Liu Minzhi said coldly.

"Auntie! I am Nian Nian's boyfriend! I like her very much, I hope you can entrust her to me!"

"It's useless to tell me. You can tell his father."

Li Yu looked at Xu Zhichun, who was silent and exuding murderous intent, with unspeakable fear in his heart.

【Is my life over here? 】

Liu Minzhi returned her gaze to Xu Nian and asked, "When did we get together."

"Just now, about ten past five." Xu Nian replied without any concealment.

"Who confessed?"

"I."

"Ha! You're rushing to deliver it to your door, right?" Liu Minzhi looked sarcastic.

Xu Nian lowered his head, his earlobes turning red.

"not like this!"

Li Yu couldn't help but defended: "I confessed my love to Niannian when I was a sophomore in high school, but she didn't agree and said she would consider it after the college entrance examination."

"You're good to say it!"

Liu Minzhi glared at Li Yu with a fierce look and asked: "I want to fall in love in high school. If it affects my grades, how can you be responsible?"

Li Yu wanted to say that my father has a net worth of nearly eleven figures and is responsible for whatever he wants.But seeing Liu Minzhi's selective and devouring eyes, he swallowed his words again.

When the elders are lecturing, the younger ones should not interrupt.

"Okay, okay, let's go here first!"

Chen Su quickly smoothed things over and persuaded, "If you have anything to say, why don't we wait for us to find a quieter place and talk slowly while eating?"

Liu Minzhi also realized that she was a little too excited. She calmed down briefly and said calmly: "No need, we have nothing to say. Xu Nian, come home with me."

After saying that, Liu Minzhi turned around and left.

Xu Nian quickly grabbed Liu Minzhi's hand, with a hint of begging in his tone, and said, "Mom, just listen to me and have a meal with Li Yu and the others, okay?"

At this time, Xu Zhichun, who had not spoken before, put his hand on Liu Minzhi's shoulder and persuaded her: "Minzhi, this is the first time in every year that she has taken the initiative to make a request to us. Don't make it difficult for her."

Li Yu was surprised. He didn't expect that Xu Zhichun, who disliked him the most, would actually help.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu!" Li Yu said gratefully.

Xu Zhichun's face was still ugly and he said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm helping my daughter, not you."

"I know, but I still want to thank you!" Li Yu's eyes were full of sincerity.

Xu Zhichun's stiff expression finally eased a bit.

[This kid is finally a little more pleasing to the eye. 】

On the other side, mother and daughter were in a stalemate for a long time.

Liu Minzhi took a deep breath, turned back to Xu Nian, and said, "I won't do this next time."

"Thank you mom!"

Li Ruijin stepped forward at the right time and said: "I have booked a private room at a restaurant. Did you drive here? If not, you can take our car."

"No, we have our own car." Xu Zhichun refused stiffly.

Li Ruijin didn't care. Thinking from his perspective, if his daughter had a boyfriend, his attitude would only be worse.

"Okay, let's go first and let Li Yu give your daughter's location later."

After saying that, Li Ruijin looked at Lu You and the two again and asked, "Do you want to come together?"

Lu You refused without thinking: "No, my mother cooked at home, let's go back and eat."

Just kidding, no matter how good his relationship with Li Yu is, and no matter how much they call each other brothers, they are not related by blood. When the in-laws meet, what qualifications does he have as an outsider to appear?

"Well, be careful when you go back."

It was just a casual polite word, and Li Ruijin didn't force it. He nodded to the Xu family and left with Chen Su and Li Yu.

After saying goodbye to Tang Wan, Xu Nian also left in the opposite direction.

Under the originally bustling tree, only Lu You and Tang Wan were left.

"I didn't expect that Xu Nian's mother seemed to be easy to talk to, but was actually so tough." Lu You said with emotion as he looked at the Xu family's leaving figures.

"Is such that!"

Tang Wan and Lu You looked in the same direction, and the scene of playing at Xu Nian's house in elementary school and junior high school came to mind.

"As long as the bottom line is not touched, Mother Liu is a very talkative person, but once the bottom line is touched, she will become another person and be stubborn."

"My brother is in trouble!" Lu You showed a gloating smile.

"You are so bad!"

Tang Wan held Lu You's hand, feeling very lucky in her heart that she had an enlightened mother.

"Husband, do you think things will go smoothly with Li Yu every year?"

Lu You's thumb rubbed the back of Tang Wan's hand a few times. It was slippery and felt great.

"Even if it doesn't go well today, it will go well in college, sooner or later."

"Why do you say that?"

Lu You analyzed clearly: "From the conversation just now, combined with Xu Nian's principle of dating after the college entrance examination, it is not difficult to deduce that Xu Nian's mother's bottom line is the college entrance examination results.

As long as Li Yu and Xu Nian's scores reach the standard, Xu Nian's mother will have no reason to stop them. On the contrary, Li Yu's own conditions will be infinitely magnified in her eyes.

Let me ask you, what mother can refuse a son-in-law who lives in the same city, has excellent grades, good looks, an outstanding family background, and good conduct? "

Tang Wan thought about it carefully and felt that what Lu You said made sense.

"Is it because of these conditions that my mother doesn't stop us from falling in love?"

"I don't want to say 100%, but at least 80%. The remaining 20% ​​is your love for me."

"I always feel a little unhappy! 20% is too little. Is my opinion so unimportant?" Tang Wan pouted, looking unhappy.

"Your personal opinions really don't matter as much as your future life."

Lu You fiddled with Tang Wan's lips a few times with her index finger, but she slapped them away in disgust.

"Speak as you speak, don't touch your hands."

Lu You stopped his hand angrily, but the words in his mouth did not stop.

"As a parent, what you want is for your children to live happily. And if you want to be happy, material conditions are the most critical and indispensable.

Maybe you think this is very realistic, but people just live in reality and cannot be separated from material things.Without material basis, all kinds of trivial matters may cause rifts in the relationship between men and women.

Everything from washing dishes, cooking, laundry, mopping the floor to childbirth, housing, cars, education, everything depends on material things.

Why do my parents still have such a good relationship after 20 years?It’s precisely because I don’t have the worries I mentioned.For basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, if you are interested, just do it yourself. If you are not interested, just make a phone call and ask a professional to do it for you.

They commute to and from get off work as they please, they have a big house at home, they have enough time together and private space, and their hobbies are normal and they don't like to mess around. "

"I probably understand what you mean."

Tang Wan recalled her emotional journey, which was almost exactly the same as what Lu You said.

The wealthy material conditions allow them not to worry about daily chores and can spend more energy on their own affairs and cultivating relationships.

With fewer minor conflicts and more daily laughter, life will naturally be happier.

"No more talking, it's not as important as dinner! Let's go home and have dinner!"

"it is good."

The two intertwined their fingers and walked back to school side by side.

"By the way, are you free tonight?"

"What's wrong again?"

“Let’s play Breakup Kitchen.”

"Still playing? Have you forgotten that we almost got into a fight last time?"

"Come on, life is so sweet, you have to find trouble, make every conflict come out, vent your grudges, and don't take it seriously afterwards."

"OK, remember the last sentence you said, don't take it seriously!"
