Before Su Yingxue left the school, she saw Li Mu at the door of the phone booth. Thinking of what Li Mu said in the class today, she subconsciously panicked.
She really wanted to ask Li Mu whether he was serious about taking the National People's Congress exam.
Unexpectedly, before he left the school, Li Mu suddenly ran away and disappeared.
Su Yingxue watched Li Mu running away, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. She thought to herself that with Li Mu's results, it seemed that it was not easy to get into the National People's Congress. In the previous simulations, he only got about 580 points at the highest, but he wanted to get into it. For the National People's Congress, you have to get at least 620 or 30 points, right
After analysis, Su Yingxue felt that Li Mu was probably just a joke. Thinking of this, she felt weird and a little bit uncomfortable.
Li Mu dove into the Big Spider Web Bar and continued the development of the Stone Overlord. Within ten minutes, Zhao Kang also came.
After Zhao Kang sat down, he asked Li Mu: "How much is the estimate?"
"More than six hundred and twenty, how about you?"
"****… real or fake?"
"real."
"Li Mu, I thought about it seriously and think we should end our relationship."
"Why?"
"I really can't play with someone like you who is more handsome than me and has better grades than me. It hurts my self-esteem."
"Stop talking nonsense, how much do you estimate?"
Zhao Kang hesitated for a moment and said a little unsurely: "If nothing else happens, it will be four hundred and ninety to five hundred."
"Looking at your unconfident look, 490 is probably on the line, and 490 may not be able to pass the third line. If you are not absolutely sure of passing the third line, you must be careful when applying for a job."
Zhao Kang asked tentatively: "How about I enroll in a better junior college in the province?"
Li Mu said: "Since you are willing to go to junior college, why not apply for a job in a developing city? What do you think of Yanjing?"
"Yanjing..." Zhao Kang scratched his head: "What can I do in the capital?"
"Go to school, pick up girls, make money, and get to the top of your life."
Zhao Kang hesitated for a long time: "My parents probably won't let me go to junior college."
"Aren't you unwilling to repeat your studies?" Li Mu asked, "Why didn't you think carefully about it when I said I could help you earn enough to pay for college?"
Zhao Kang suddenly realized.
It turns out that my good brother has been making plans for me for a long time. He knows that there is a high probability that he will not be able to pass the undergraduate degree, and he also knows that he has completely opposite and irreconcilable conflicts with the wishes of his family, so he is equivalent to giving himself a choice. , It doesn’t matter if you didn’t get into the undergraduate program, it’s the same thing if you make money and pay for yourself to go to college.
Zhao Kang was moved and asked for the last time: "Is this plug-in really possible?"
"Really capable."
"Come on, it's a junior college in Yanjing, right? I understand!"
When Li Mu saw that Zhao Kang had been persuaded by him, he felt much relieved and continued to work on developing the Stone Overlord.
In the middle, Li Mu's QQ received a message, which was an avatar of a penguin wearing a pink flower on his head. After Li Mu clicked on it, he was delighted to find that the little penguin with a pink flower on his head turned out to be Su Yingxue.
He has always remembered Su Yingxue's online name, which is the very simple English word Snow. Su Yingxue's QQ has always been this name and has never been changed.
Li Mu often changed his online name in his previous life, but he never changed his password. In this regard, he and Su Yingxue were somewhat complementary.
The message Snow sent was: "What is the estimated score for the college entrance examination?"
Dreaming: "Between 625 and 630."
Snow: "Really? So high? Don't lie to me."
Dreaming: "Why are you lying to me? It's true."
Snow: "That would be great if it was true."
Seeing that Su Yingxue didn't seem to believe it, Li Mu asked, "What about you, how much did you estimate?"
Snow: "Between 640-660."
Lee: "Congratulations, you will definitely have no problem getting into Renmin University!"
Snow: Hey, why did you suddenly change your online name
Lee: The previous one was too vulgar.
Snow: I don’t think so, it’s pretty good.
Just as Li Mu was about to reply, Snow sent a message: "My mom asked me to go out. Let's talk another day!"
Li Mu saw the little pink penguin turn into black and white and sink into the list of offline friends. He felt a little empty in his heart. His balls ached for half a minute, and then he returned to the development of the plug-in.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Li Mu saved the progress and said to Zhao Kang: "I will go home for dinner today, what about you?"
Zhao Kang rubbed his eyes: "I'll go home and eat too."
…
Li Mu remembers that the first time he drank liquor with his father was after he graduated from college.
That time he decided to go to Yanjing for development, leaving home and traveling more than a thousand kilometers away. There was no high-speed rail at that time, and the air ticket from the provincial capital to Yanjing was not affordable for ordinary people. Ordinary hard seats would ding ding ding ding ding. For more than ten hours, my parents were not happy about traveling far away alone. But after thinking about it for a few days, my father still respected Li Mu's choice.
Li Mu and his father were both drunk that night. He still remembered that night, he cried in bed and swore that he would make a difference in Yanjing. However, in the first few years, his life was not much better than that of a dog. He lived in a basement, Living in group renting, constantly changing jobs, constantly moving to new homes, constantly being scammed by rogue intermediaries in the north...
In this life, because of Li Mu's rebirth, the day when the two men's wine glasses collided for the first time has been advanced by four years.
Dad Li took out a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao that he had collected since the 1980s. It is said that there were only two bottles in total. Dad Li had already planned to save one bottle to drink on Li Mu’s wedding day, and the other bottle until Li Mu had a child.
But today I am happy and opened a bottle in advance.
Both of them had good drinking capacity, and they were really happy. They split a bottle of wine equally and neither of them got drunk. Instead, they asked my mother to run out and buy a few bottles of beer and drink them.
At the wine table, Li Mu talked about his decision to apply for Renmin University. At first, his parents were a little worried about whether it would be too risky, but Li Mu insisted that he was confident. After drinking some wine, Li Mu was in a better mood and shouted loudly. Said: "Okay! Young people must have the courage to give it a try. Dad supports you!"
After drinking for three rounds, Li Mu suddenly said: "Dad, it seems that the Xiling coal mine is almost exhausted, right? The efficiency is getting worse day by day. What are your plans?"
Dad Li glanced at Li Mu in surprise, and said with a laugh: "It's okay. Your dad has been a technician for more than 20 years, and he has a lot of skills."
"There are very few coal mines in Jiangnan." Li Mu said calmly: "There is only one coal mine in Haizhou, Xiling. If the Xiling coal mine fails, dad, your technology will have no chance south of the Yangtze River."
Most of China's coal mines are located in the north. Coal mines south of the Yangtze River are rare. What Li Mu said is also very realistic. In his last life, after his father was laid off, he thought about going to work in the northwest coal mines, but it was too far away from home, so he finally chose We found a local construction team to help.
Father Li is a relatively traditional man. His grandparents are still living in the country, and his mother also has grandparents to take care of. He cannot leave these behind and go work elsewhere.
Li Mu's words made Dad Li fall into deep thought. He found that his son had really matured a lot overnight and was now able to discuss issues with him as an adult.
"It is estimated that the Xiling Coal Mine will not last long." Dad Li was not prepared to tell Li Mu this at first, but he also realized that he could not hide it from Li Mu now. "There will be a group of laid-off workers at the end of the month, and another group at the end of the year. In that batch, your mother and I will most likely be laid off, but it won’t be a big deal. Even if your mother and I are laid off, we will still have wages, and if we continue to work for a while to subsidize them, we can retire within a few years."
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Dad, I will find a way to earn all the expenses for my college education. You and mom don't have to worry about this. The reason why I say this is that I don't want you to hide it from me after you are laid off. In order to make up for it, If there is a gap in income, then go out and work hard.”
Dad Li was stunned for a moment, and Mom Li asked in surprise: "You are talking nonsense, do you know how much it costs to go to college? Your dad and I have done the math. Going to college in a provincial capital costs tuition and miscellaneous fees, living expenses, and transportation back home." For travel expenses, if you don’t have 50,000 yuan for four years, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it, and if I go to Yanjing, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it if I don’t have 60,000 to 70,000 yuan!”
Li Mu then said: "I will find a way. The Internet is very popular now, and many people have made a lot of money. I have been doing research in my spare time, and I think I can do it too."
"What network?" Dad Li frowned: "Internet? Is it the one you spend money to play in Internet cafes?"
"Yeah." Li Mu nodded.
"Isn't that giving money to the Internet cafe?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Giving money to Internet cafes is for the use of machines and networks. Making money is making other people's money online. This is not contradictory."
"Don't let anyone fool you. There are scammers everywhere these days." Li Ma obviously didn't believe it.
Li Mu also wanted to get a vaccination, so he didn't say for sure, so he smiled and said: "It doesn't cost anything anyway. I'll give it a try and forget it if it works. It's just a small Internet fee."
"That's true." Dad Li took a sip of wine and said to Li Mu: "Anyway, you can do whatever you want this summer. If you need money, just ask your parents. Although our family doesn't have much money, at least you can pay for your first year of college tuition. , living expenses are no problem, and the remaining parents will also find a way."
Li Mu didn't say much, nodded slightly, poured a glass of beer, clinked it with his father, and drank it in one gulp.
