At this time, the barbecue stalls outside were not open yet, but the ones in the stores were always open. The two of them picked a store that looked relatively clean. After entering, Lin Jianlu said that he had never eaten barbecue before and asked Yan Han to place the order.
“…” Although Yan Han was curious about why Big Brother Lin had never eaten barbecue, he didn’t ask since Lin Jianlu didn’t tell him.
“Then let’s order some must-order barbecue specialties and see what’s delicious first?”
“Okay.”
After a handful of grilled meat skewers and various vegetarian dishes were served, Yan Han took a special look at Big Brother Lin’s expression and then found that Lin Jianlu ate these things very naturally and even praised the taste. He was relieved.
Reassured, the eldest brother’s appetite was opened.
Yan Han had not eaten barbecue since he came to this world. Today was a rare opportunity, so why not open your belly and eat as much as you can!
After dinner, Lin Jianlu came out of the store and asked Yan Han what plans he had for tonight.
“What are your plans?”
“… Go home and recite some English texts, go to bed early, after all I’m going to take the bus back to school tomorrow.”
“Okay, then do you want me to pick you up?”
“Ah?”
He looked up at Lin Jianlu carefully but seeing that the other party’s expression and eyes were normal, Yan Han felt that he was overthinking again, and Big Brother Lin should just be asking casually.
So he also answered casually: “No need, your special ability can’t carry people, but if it can take me flying… it seems quite fun to think about it.”
Lin Jianlu looked at him and nodded, but didn’t say anything.
“It’s getting late, I’ve taken up your whole day today, Big Brother Lin, you should go home and rest quickly.” Yan Han said again.
“Well, then I’ll take you home first.”
“Okay.”
Yan Han didn’t refuse. Anyway, the two of them had just finished eating and if they walked back, it would help them digest the food and they could also talk for a while.
“I didn’t expect the four-day holiday to get over so quickly, it’s too fast!” Yan Han sighed.
Thinking about how he had been working on the questions like a life-or-death race these past two days, without any rest, and that he would have to start a new round of study life that was exhausting and tiring when he returned to school, he felt that being a student was really hard.
… Being a poor student who wanted to study hard was even harder.
Working from 5 am to 9 pm, all year round, that was not a big deal, but what was even worse was that he even had to pay money to the school without making a penny, and endure poverty…
Stop, stop thinking!
Yan Han felt that if he continued to think about it, he would start to doubt his life!
“You had a weak foundation before, but you won’t have to work so hard in the future.” Lin Jianlu said.
“Oh?”
Yan Han looked at him. Although Big Brother Lin himself never studied (…), what he said about studying was all wise words in Yan Han’s eyes!
At least Lin Jianlu knew more clearly about his current level than Yan himself.
After all, he looked at his level from a height of knowing all about high school knowledge.
So Yan Han believed everything Lin Jianlu said about studying.
Who would have thought that Lin Jianlu would say: “If you can understand and master those 30,000 questions, you can successfully graduate from high school.”
Yan Han: “… So awesome?”
“Well, the basic knowledge points of science are almost all in it, and the questions of liberal arts can also be regarded as expanding your knowledge. In short, it is worth learning.”
Yan Han: “!” Just because Big Brother Lin said it is worth learning, it may just be worth learning.
Yan Han was excited: “Why didn’t you say it earlier!”
“I see that you are studying very seriously, and it feels the same whether I say it or not.” Lin Jianlu smiled slightly.
“How can it be the same? I gave up some questions in pursuit of efficiency and memorized them by rote.” Yan Han said thoughtfully: “From a long-term perspective, it is better to understand all the knowledge points…”
“You can’t get fat in one bite.” Lin Jianlu said, “You can ask me about those questions when you have time and energy.”
“…”
Yan Han said hurriedly: “Since you said so, Big Brother Lin, I won’t be polite.”
“Yeah.”
“Yes!”
Although he didn’t know how to reach a verbal agreement, it didn’t stop Yan Han from being very happy that he could continue to bother Big Brother Lin in the future.
He couldn’t help but say to Xiao Wu: “I hope the learning skills you arrange for me tomorrow will be as good as those of Big Brother Lin.”
That’s right, by tomorrow his charming plan will be completed. By then, with the treasure chest in hand, I will have the learning skills, plus Lin Jianlu’s assistance…
Yan Han suddenly felt that maybe one day he would really change his career to become a top student.
Xiao Wu: [……]
“So, do you have the confidence to give me a surprise?” Yan Han continued to tease it.
[……]
Xiao Wu was too lazy to pay attention to him!
The two walked back to the Hu Family Courtyard Hutong under the afterglow of the setting sun. When they reached the entrance of his courtyard, Yan Han said, “I’m going back, you should go back too.”
“Yes.” Lin Jianlu said, “I’ll take you to the door.”
“…Oh, sure.”
So the two walked side by side into the Hutong again.
But before Yan Han got close to the door, he saw a circle of people outside the door of his courtyard, pointing at his door.
At the same time, he heard a sharp female voice coming from his yard, shouting loudly, “That Yan Han is the child of your old Yan family, but my son Yan Guan is not, right! How can you be so partial to him! Yan Guan is not your grandson! Why don’t you pay for his schooling!”
After exchanging a glance with Lin Jianlu, Yan Han remembered that the illegitimate son of the original owner’s scumb*g father seemed to be called Yan Guan.
So, the woman shouting in the yard was the mistress?
When Yan Han thought that his grandparents might be being scolded by the mistress, his eyes condensed. His face, which was full of smiles just now, suddenly became murderous. He pushed away the crowd of people watching outside with a fierce look and walked into his yard amid the discussion of the neighbors.
Lin Jianlu wanted to pull him, but he did nothing in the end. He just walked through the crowd with him.
At this time, the woman was still acting aggrieved on the surface, but she was actually speaking loudly. It seemed she wanted to call all the neighbors as she said, “My son is going to high school this year, and he will go to a good high school. He just needs a little money for the school selection fee, which is not much, just 20,000 yuan. You don’t lend it to me. Do you want to watch your grandson be buried and achieve nothing in the future?”
Yan Han, who had just stepped into the yard, paused. Seeing that there was only a woman who was cursing and a short, fat, and shifty little fat boy in the yard, he knew that this was Yan Guan.
Besides, his grandparents were not in the courtyard, but the door of the old house was tightly closed. It seemed that his grandparents did not want to be scolded by others, so they just closed the door and refused to come out.
Thinking of the grievances suffered by the two elders, Yan Han suddenly sneered, and his magnetic voice clearly interrupted the woman’s accusation. Yan Han said: “I finally know why Yan Xiaoyu pesters grandparents for money every day and even steals money from them. It turns out that Yan Guan is going to high school.”
The woman was attracted by his voice and immediately turned around. She was stunned when she saw Yan Han standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Yan Han continued in a leisurely voice: “There is still a month before the college entrance examination. What kind of high school is he going to now which requires tens of thousands of yuan for school selection fees?”
