At the banquet, who was the best and loudest? My uncle Li Xinglong was obviously the most dazzling star. He drank a lot of liquor and talked loudly.

He wears a suit and leather shoes with a white lining that has a slightly bulging beer belly. He wears a gold watch and leather shoes, looking like a coal boss. I heard from my father that my uncle caught up with good policies in the past few years and made hundreds of dollars a year by selling sand to the government.

Wan, he is considered one of the richest men in the village.

When people have money, they like to show off. This uncle paid for this banquet.

"Li Li heard that you were studying abroad. What major did you major in?"

"finance."

The uncle's daughter, Li Lili, is tall, with shawl-length hair, delicate make-up, and she doesn't look like a rural person at all in her clothes.

However, she was not originally from the countryside and had lived in the city since she was a child. Li Yi had some impressions of this little girl. He often helped her with tutoring to earn extra money. At that time, she was a little girl who often went out to go crazy because of her family's money.

Li Yi worked as a teacher and a nanny for his uncle's high tutoring fees, and often went to bars, Internet cafes and other places to arrest people.

Unexpectedly, that crazy girl back then had already become a slim girl. Ten years for a mortal is really a long time.

"Lily has become a beauty after not seeing her for several years. Does she have a boyfriend?" a woman asked.

The topic among the elders is always inseparable from this. When I was in school, I was afraid of puppy love, and when I graduated, I wanted to get married immediately.

Li Li smiled slightly: "We just had a blind date some time ago. We were from the Zhou family in Chongqing."

"The Zhou family with the fifth surname and Qi Wang?!"

"That's right."

"This is a rich man. Lily, you have to work harder to win it. Don't miss it."

There were continuous exclamations all around, and Li Yi yawned again at an inappropriate time. It was not that he was looking for trouble, but that he had consumed too much last night and got up early today and he was too sleepy. But there were many people around.

He covered his mouth very carefully, but he still couldn't escape Li Lili's eyes.

From the moment she walked in, Li Lili had been secretly paying attention to Li Yi.

Li Yi is a very special existence for the children of the Li family. Their parents taught them that they must move out of Li Yi, and Li Li is no exception. In a sense, they have been indoctrinated into being like Li Yi since childhood.

Li Lili and Li Yi had a relatively bad relationship due to tutoring. But it is undeniable that she really admired this cousin back then and even had some unnecessary feelings.

But that was all when she was a child. Now she is better than Li Yi and has a better life and future. But now he is just a poor person who has slept with her for 10 years.

Li Lili admitted that she was despicably looking forward to Li Yi's envious look. After all, as her childhood shadow, any reaction from the other party always made her have inexplicable expectations.

But Li Yi never looked at him, even for a moment. He was as careless as ever, and the laziness in his eyes was the same as 10 years ago.

This made Li Lili very dissatisfied.

"Cousin, what are your plans for the future? Do you have any thoughts on repeating your studies? You should have a junior high school degree now. It will be difficult to find a job when you go out."

Li Yi didn't expect that Li Li suddenly asked himself. He originally wanted to be a little transparent and get through today, but now it's better. Suddenly everyone's eyes are focused on him.

"Take it one step at a time, it's like this anyway." Li Yi shrugged, still looking open-minded, and looked somewhat self-defeating to outsiders.

Li Lili felt as if she had been punched on cotton.

"Cousin, do you really not think about repeating your studies? You were hoping to become emperor back then. Although the textbooks are no longer what they were ten years ago, you should be able to get into a good school with your talent. I am the vice principal of Yucheng No. 1 Middle School.

I can ask your high school classmate for you."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere team immediately exclaimed.

"Lily is amazing, she actually knows the leader of No. 1 Middle School."

"Lily, my son will be entering high school next year. Can you help my second aunt to make connections?"

Next to him, a gentle-looking man wearing glasses also said: "I work in the Education Bureau, and I can also help inquire about the repeat quota."

"Li Ning is so promising, he actually joined the Education Bureau."

"It's better to be trained by the eldest brother. The younger ones like mine can only be some kind of real estate manager and can't enter the government at all."

"Hey manager, the houses are like a cornucopia now, the price is one per day. My child is really bad. He didn't go to college and went to Qi to do business with others. He didn't come back a few times throughout the year."

Unconsciously, the relatives entered a new round of competition, and Li Yi could clearly feel that his uncle had the upper hand.

Li Lili and Li Ning are indeed very promising. One works in a large company and studied finance, which sounds very high-end. The other works in the Education Bureau. In the eyes of rural people, he is a high-ranking official who needs to be fawned over.

The uncle who felt that he had gained twice as much face was also beaming with joy, and the compliments he received from the people around him were so modest that it was completely inconsistent with his own dress.

Li Yi poured a drink from a disposable plastic cup and watched calmly and calmly as his relatives showed off their special skills for him.

Even though they look extremely enthusiastic now, they may not even answer the phone later.

However, his parents obviously didn't think so. Seeing the hopeful expressions on their faces, Li Yi could only take two more bites of food to consider them really helping him.

At this time, the uncle suddenly spoke and brought the topic back on track: "Li Yi, I heard that my fourth brother wanted to repeat his studies?"

Before he could answer, Li Xingguo, who was next to him, immediately spoke to him: "Brother, my Yi'er is talented. He ranked first in the city every year, and he was also ranked first in the prefecture. Is there a person in our Li family who can read?"

It’s easy. If you can pass the imperial examination, you might be able to achieve great success.”

Imperial University, the top university in the Zhou Kingdom, is also the fastest way for ordinary people to achieve a class leap. It can be said to be the Imperial College of the Zhou Kingdom. Graduating from here means half-stepping into the official class.

"It makes sense. This talent cannot be wasted." The uncle thought for a moment and immediately said: "Leave this matter to me. I know the principal of Yucheng No. 1 High School and I will arrange admission next year."

Although he is rich now, he is still a businessman after all. If he really wants to honor his ancestors, he must become an official. I definitely can't become one, so why not turn around and sponsor a talented nephew.

"Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother." Li Xingguo smiled happily, bowing his head repeatedly, toasting and passing cigarettes.

"Li Yi, why don't you thank your uncle quickly?"

Li Yi's brows wrinkled slightly, then relaxed, and the vague laziness lingering on his facial features lingered.

These 10 years have indeed had a great impact on my parents. My father's arrogance as a scholar has long since faded, and he has a great responsibility.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Well, studying is the only way out. As long as you can pass the imperial examination, my Li family will be the proud ancestor. Look at Li Laosi, if he had gone to university back then, he wouldn't have become like this."

"Brother taught you a lesson." Li Xingguo's smile became a little forced, "Yi'er, you can't imitate me. You must go to a good university."

Li Yi knew that his father's grades were better than his uncle's. When he was in junior high school, he accidentally found his father's college entrance examination admission notice, which was a first-class university in the country. However, because the Li family could not afford two college students, in the end, only the eldest son, his uncle, was allowed to go.

I went to a second-rate university.

boring

"I'm going to the bathroom." Li Yi stood up and left the dining table without looking back. This move made the atmosphere suddenly awkward.

Father Li came to his senses and quickly apologized: "This kid has a high spirit and doesn't understand etiquette. I will teach him a lesson when I get back."

"He's a loser who's been sleeping for ten years, and he's still so arrogant." Li Ning laughed. He had been unhappy with Li Yi since he was a child, but now that he saw him in such a state of desolation, he was lying to say he was unhappy.

The sound was not loud, but everyone present heard it, and the atmosphere became even more silent for a while.

Li Ning also knew that he had said the wrong thing. He lowered his head to eat and did not continue to laugh loudly. This was not a TV series. We were all relatives, not enemies. We could not be said to be close friends, but we would always help each other out if we were busy. At that time, Li Ning had just started

Yi's medical expenses were also paid for by everyone. He laughed at his brother in front of his face and was about to get stabbed in the spine.

Li Yi is indeed useless, but it won't sound good if you say it out loud.

The uncle's face was also a little worried. If it weren't for the crowd, he would have cursed loudly.

"I'm going to see Brother Yi." Li Lili very wisely stepped forward to save her silly brother.

Li Lili just walked out of the door and was stunned.

A long queue of black cars drove through the narrow village road, attracting the attention of countless villagers. If anyone is knowledgeable, they can see that the license plates on these vehicles are very special, official license plates starting with 00.

The vehicle stopped in front of the Li family ancestral hall, and the Li family who were eating stopped their bowls and chopsticks.

The car door opened, and people in different attires stepped out one by one. Each of them had a different temperament than ordinary people.

The three leaders were Wei Ren, envoy of the State of Qin, Zhang Kelin, special adviser to Qingzhou Police Department, Zhou's eldest son, and Zhou Hua, president of Xihe Group.

Wei Ren glanced at the banner hanging at the door [Celebrating the Li family's recovery from a serious illness], and asked in a rich voice: "Excuse me, does Mr. Li Yi live here?"
