Chapter 20 Before the War

Since Li Kai entered junior high school, Li Yan set a reward system: if you get a certificate, you will be rewarded with five yuan for each certificate; if you get a grade first in a single subject, you will be rewarded with five yuan; if you improve your score by more than ten yuan in a single subject, you will be rewarded with ten yuan; if you take the mid-term or final exam, you will be rewarded with twenty yuan (Li Kai has never received this reward, he has always been a stable "second" in the grade.).

"God-telling, take out the transcript."

Li Kai had no choice but to put down the chopsticks in his hand, got up and took his schoolbag from his bed, took out his transcript and a stack of awards, and poured the prizes issued by the school on the study table: an iron pencil case, a book called "Heroic Boy - Lai Ning", a fountain pencil, a plastic leather notebook, a handful of more than ten red and blue pencils, and a stack of brand new textbooks, mathematics books, and Bresc.

"Wow..." Li Yan took the report card and award, came to Liu Fengzhi, and his two heads squeezed together.

Li Yan looked through it one by one, while Li Kai was eating leisurely. Looking at his parents' sometimes surprised and sometimes happy, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift up.

"This cannot be counted as 'hygiene model'? This reward should be given to your mother. Your mother worked hard to wash and make clothes for you so that you can go to school every day. What's wrong with you?" Li Yan pulled out a certificate of award and shook.

"Dad, what they are talking about is actively participating in labor in school and successfully completing duty and cleaning tasks."

"Everything is the same. This cannot be considered a 'discipline model'? Isn't it supposed to be a student who abides discipline in school? This is a reward? I'm so embarrassed to give it, and you're also embarrassed to ask for it?"

"You're so bored. You're picking the bones in the eggs. OK, you can continue to pick them."

"There are also the results of this Breeding language, which is not a good improvement. Your scores in each subject are above 90 points. This is the standard line. Only when you make progress on this basis will you get rewards. Your Breeding language has not met the standards."

"No, 90 points are the standard, and progress is very rewarding, that is, only full points will be rewarded. And now it's just Breser's reward opportunity, which is too bullying. You are a bully clause, and I don't agree." Li Kai pretended to be angry.

"I'm your father if I don't accept it." Li Yan shook his head proudly.

"Mom, don't you care about him. Isn't this a fool?" Li Kai quickly looked for foreign players.

"Don't bully my son," Liu Fengzhi slapped Li Yan on the thigh, "Son, don't listen to your father's nonsense. Do what you said back then. Mom will reward you later."

"You are still helping him, what did you hear him call you, 'Old...Mom'? He is so old that he calls him old." Li Yan said in a provocative manner.

"Adding an old word is a respectful title, a treatment that only a big man can enjoy, and he doesn't know anything," Li Kai defended.

"Bad, which big guy has the old name?"

"I know, that's a great thinker."

"Okay, you're the one, who else?"

"……God."

Li Yangang picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip, stared at Li Kai with his cheeks bulging, and endured it for a long time, but he still lowered his head and squirted it out, then laughed and coughed while laughing.

Liu Fengzhi laughed and rubbed his back. Li Kai quickly tore a large piece of toilet paper and divided it into two pieces. He handed it to Li Yan, and another piece covered with dirt on the ground. He wiped it with his feet.

After a while, Li Yan calmed down, shook his head gently and said, "I'm not afraid of talking nonsense, I'm afraid of saying nothing, you can really live in vain."

"That's up to you, follow the genre." Liu Fengzhi put the certificates together, "I'll put these in the box."

Liu Fengzhi held a Li Kai's "archive box", which contained all the honors, reward certificates obtained by Li Kai after going to school, and even more than a dozen small red flowers from kindergarten. At first, it was made of a file box that Li Yan took back from the unit, and later it was filled with three file boxes. Li Yan made a box with five-piece boards, which was usually placed under the bed in their house.

"Let's go back and put it on. You have to look through these things for several days, and you're not tired after going back and forth."

"Then I'll take it over first, and it will be convenient to look through it."

Liu Fengzhi went to the big house happily. When she came back, she held a wine bottle and a tea cup in her hand.

"I know you are happy, my face is chuckled, and I will reward you with two taels."

Li Yan picked up the teacup that had been half-wine, and smiled and said to Li Kai: "Come on, I'm smashing it, I'm doing a good job, let's go with dad."

Li Kai looked at the dining table, picked up the porridge bowl with both hands, and walked forward.

After drinking half of it in one sip, Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Eat."

After dinner, Liu Fengzhi was "invited" back to the big house to sleep, and the father and son came to clean up.

After packing up, the father and son sat around and drank water.

"Dad, please ask for some advice." Li Kai took a sip of water and thought for a while.

"Well, you said, but I may not be able to help you with anything in my studies."

"It's not a matter of study. I have a friend... He has a buddy... good brother, his mother is gone, his father married another one, and his family treats him very badly... very bad... My friend wants to help his good brother, but helping him may cause some verbal and trouble, but he also has reasons to help his brother. If he doesn't help, his brother may have to live in pain for many years... or even for a lifetime... do you think he wants to help?"

"Oh..." Li Yan thought, the friend his son was talking about should be himself, and that good brother must be Chang Dalong. Chang Dalong was indeed in a terrible life, a very good child. After losing his grandfather and mother, he lived even worse than a wandering child. Chang Gui was not a person, and he was not ungrateful, and his own son was also tortured to death.

Lao Sun must have never expected that he had raised an ungrateful wolf back then.

Although Li Yan and Chang Dalong's grandfather and grandson are not in the same workshop, they are both enthusiastic people. There is a wedding and funeral in the factory, and they will go to help, and they have some friendship after a while.

Li Yan was once the main "man" of the "Red and White Council" of the non-governmental organization of the machinery factory. Lao Sun was his deputy. The two of them had always cooperated well. Unfortunately, good people were not rewarded. Lao Sun accumulated virtue and did good deeds all his life. Less than half a year after his death, his daughter also followed him. Less than half a year later, Chang Gui's son-in-law remarried.

The help my son said was probably to help Chang Dalong turn against his father. He knew his son's personality, and he was willing to help others and hated evil.

In fact, it’s nothing. At worst, the child is raised by himself, and he doesn’t need much to be young. He can work and support himself in four or five years, which can be considered as the friendship between Lao Sun and the past.

As for what verbal talk, let’s just stop it. Everyone knows very well. Even if there are one or two idle and painful "good tongue women", they won’t be able to deal with anything and can’t make any trouble. They can sit upright at home and are not afraid of these "flirting" things.

"You... this friend has a plan?" Li Yan asked.

"Well, we are collecting evidence these two days."

“How confident are you?”

"Seventy or eighty percent."

"Then do it. Dad always has only three requirements for you. One cannot violate the law; the other cannot violate the conscience; the other cannot hurt yourself."

"I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for you." Li Kai knew that his father had guessed it and said with apologies, "In fact, if you endure it for a few years, it might be better to solve it, but... I'm not willing to give up."

"What trouble can this matter be? Dad can shelter you from the wind and rain in just a few years. When you get older and become an adult, Dad may not be able to use it. Now you think the right thing is, let go and do it. Dad can still take care of you and feel at ease with you."

"Thank you, dad, you are my confidence and always strong backing."

"Tsk." The father and son looked at each other and smiled.

"Dadada" Someone knocked on the door. Li Yan opened the door and it was Xiao Fan, a neighbor downstairs.

"Hello Uncle Fan." Li Kai said hello.

"Xiao Kai is here, I'll look for your father. Brother Li, come and get some hands on it, three are missing one."

"I can only play until half past ten. Your sister-in-law will work tonight, so I have to send her off."

"Just four rounds, it won't be until half past ten."

"Okay, let's go. Xiaokai, you almost go to bed, I'll go rub it for a while."

"Uh-huh"

It’s really addictive to playing mahjong that is 20 cents and 40 cents.

Li Kai lay on the bed, flirted with "Heroic Boy - Lai Ning", and fell asleep after a while.

The next day, Li Kai got up early to "perform the mission". Because he made an appointment with An Jianjun, he was responsible for the morning and the afternoon, so he was frozen alone for the whole morning and did not return home until before lunch.

After lunch, when Li Kai was preparing to have lunch break, someone knocked on the door.

"Don't have to be so early, it's time to go there around five o'clock." When I opened the door, I saw An Jianjun outside the door.

"Squad leader, someone is looking for you." An Jianjun squeezed his eyes and told him not to let go of the person behind him.

"Jiang Xia? If you have something to come to me?" Li Kai let the two of them into the house.

"Squad leader, my dad asked me to bring you a few apples... and said thank you for helping me with tutoring." Jiang Xia handed a net bag with apples in both hands. There were more than a dozen apples, big and red, with a smooth and shiny appearance, which made people like it.

Apples of this level are also a fine product in fruit shops even before traveling through their previous lives, not to mention the 90 years when the supplies were still scarce.

"You should keep such a good thing, it's a pity for me to eat." Li Kai swallowed and spitted, "Besides, helping you with tutoring is just a matter of footwork. Is there anything to thank? Besides, I am the squad leader, isn't this supposed to be."

"Take it, it's sent by a friend of my dad. There are many more in my house."

"Well, then I'm not polite, thank you." It was so greedy that Li Kai could only lose his fortune once.

"That...that..." Jiang Xia was so squeamish that she stopped talking and her face turned red.

"There is something else? You said, I will definitely help if I can." After taking the net bag, Li Kai was so arrogant that he was really short-spoken.

"My dad said...my dad said..." Jiang Xia lowered her head and gritted her teeth, "My dad said we are still young... we should focus on our studies... we cannot fall in love early."

Finally said it, Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
