Chapter 240: Roommate Don’t Come Over: The Sponsor is Rich and Generous
As soon as they returned home, Li's mother was surprised to see the clothes and shoes her son bought for them.
Then he said angrily, "Hey, kid! Just buy yourself what you need, why did you buy so much for us?"
Li's father also came over, frowned and looked at his son and said, "My son, this is the money you earned from your hard work in a part-time job. You don't have to spend it on us. You should keep it for yourself." After saying that, he sighed softly.
Not long after his son entered university, he stopped asking his family for living expenses.
Regarding this, Li's father and mother felt both relieved and guilty - relieved that their son was so sensible and independent;
The guilt comes from the limited financial resources of the family, which prevents us from providing more material support to our children.
The family also has a considerable loan that needs to be repaid every month, and life is quite tight.
When the couple learned that their son could earn 2,000 yuan a month by working part-time, they felt sorry for their son working hard outside.
However, considering the difficult financial situation of his family, they finally decided not to provide him with living expenses. He could only rely on his own efforts to solve the problem of living expenses.
However, at this moment, facing his parents' concern and refusal, Li Xiaoyao calmly took out his phone, then directly put the screen in front of his parents and said proudly, "Dad, Mom, look at my balance! I really still have a lot of money, don't worry!"
When Li's father and mother took a closer look, the number displayed on it made them so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
There are more than 50,000!
"Where did you get so much money? Xiaoyao, don't do anything bad." Li's father said seriously.
Li Xiaoyao explained with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, this money came from a legitimate source."
"I play games with a classmate and earn 30 yuan per game. Adding the hard work fee he gives me, I can earn several hundred yuan every day."
"People in the city are very rich and generous. Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I won't do anything bad."
Li's father and mother breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Li's father laughed heartily: "Haha... My youngest son is really better than his father! He is much better than his father!"
Hearing his father's praise, Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips and said seriously, "Dad, please don't say that. In my heart, you will always be the most powerful man!"
In fact, the reason why their family is so poor is not only because it is difficult to make a lot of money in the countryside, but also an important reason is that the family is burdened with a huge loan.
Every month, they have to pay back a full two thousand yuan on time.
Back then, when Li's mother gave birth to my younger brother, he was born prematurely. The situation was extremely critical and she had to undergo surgery.
The operation cost a huge amount of money, and Li's father had to borrow all the money from the villagers.
At this moment, the corners of Li's father's eyes were slightly red. He gently patted his son's shoulder, his heart full of emotion and relief.
How could he not be happy that his son had grown up and knew how to care for his old father?
At this time, Li's mother came over and said, "Alright, alright, stop being sentimental here, you two! I'm going to go cook first. You two quickly chop the firewood that was just cut in the woodshed."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li's mother turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Li's father quickly responded, "Okay."
"Little one, I'm going to go chop some wood. You take Xiaoye and have a good rest for a while."
However, Li Xiaoyao rolled up his sleeves without hesitation and said to his father with a smile: "Dad, I'll help you!"
Seeing his son so proactive, Li's father smiled and nodded: "That's great, let's work together and finish it quickly!"
So, the father and son smiled at each other and walked towards the woodshed side by side.
……
Ye Jiaotang stayed in the village for almost the entire winter vacation and only set out on his journey home on the eve of the Chinese New Year.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Ye's father, who was sitting on the sofa like a sculpture, glanced at him without saying a word, but his eyes were full of displeasure.
Ye's mother, who was standing beside Ye's father, said quietly, "Atang, is the Li family really that good? They can make you linger even during holidays and not want to go home."
Father Ye snorted coldly, like a gust of cold wind: "If it weren't for the New Year, I'm afraid your good son wouldn't even remember that he has a family."
Ye Jiaotang raised his eyebrows, a slight smile on his lips: "So what? I just like the Li family."
Mother Ye asked in surprise, "Why? Is there a girl in the Li family that you like? But as far as I know, the Li family only has two sons."
Ye Jiaotang answered seriously, "Mom, I don't like girls, I like boys."
Mother Ye was shocked: "So, the one you like is Li Xiaoyao?"
Ye Jiaotang nodded without hesitation and admitted: "Yes, I like him, but he is not attracted to me yet. When he returns to school, I will pursue him passionately."
Mother Ye's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly pulled Ye Jiaotang to sit down. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Son, it's not wrong to pursue boys, but we must not be zeros."
Upon hearing this, Ye's father was shocked: "?!"
Having been taught BL knowledge by his wife, he naturally knew what 1 and 0 represented respectively.
Ye Jiaotang raised his lips slightly and said confidently, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm definitely number 1. How could Yaoyao, with her small body, possibly suppress me?"
But Ye's mother retorted: "Kawaii 1 is also 1."
Ye Jiaotang looked helpless. What the hell was he thinking?
……
As the new semester was about to begin, Li Xiaoyao arrived at school a whole day early.
When he arrived at the dormitory dragging his heavy suitcase and taking slightly tired steps, he was surprised to find that Ye Jiaotang was already sitting there.
Li Xiaoyao's eyes widened in shock, and he blurted out, "Brother Ye, why are you here so early?"
According to common sense, if your home is in this city, you will definitely choose to stroll to school slowly on the first day!
Ye Jiaotang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he responded softly: "It's boring to stay at home, so why not come here earlier."
Li Xiaoyao looked around the neat and clean dormitory environment and couldn't help but smile and said to Ye Jiaotang, "Brother Ye, you really work hard! You clean our dormitory so cleanly."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiaotang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Since I'm so diligent, shouldn't I be rewarded?"
Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment, then asked, "How about I treat you to a bag of spicy noodles?"
However, Ye Jiaotang shook his head, rejecting the suggestion, and replied, "You can't eat too much spicy strips. It's not very healthy. In my opinion, you should treat me to a fast food meal."
Li Xiaoyao nodded and agreed without hesitation: "No problem, then I'll listen to Brother Ye. Let's go get some fast food!"
After Li Xiaoyao quickly packed his luggage, the two of them happily walked towards the bustling snack street behind the dormitory building.
……
The two walked side by side into a fast food restaurant that was simply decorated but clean and tidy. The restaurant was crowded with people and filled with the aroma of various foods.
After looking around, they found an empty seat by the window, walked over quickly and sat opposite each other.
Li Xiaoyao stood up and walked to the food display table. He quickly scanned the dazzling array of dishes and then ordered them without hesitation.
He shouted in full force, "Boss, give me one serving of braised pork, one serving of shredded pork with fish flavor, one serving of stir-fried shredded potatoes, one serving of Kung Pao chicken and one serving of mapo tofu!"
In just a few words, he had quickly ordered five dishes.
At this time, the store is having a promotion and the soup can be enjoyed for free.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao hurriedly picked up two exquisite small bowls, carefully filled them with hot soup, and brought them back to his seat.
Ye Jiaotang, who was sitting at the table, had been quietly watching Li Xiaoyao's busy figure, with an elusive tenderness quietly revealed in his eyes.
This gentleness seems to be covered by a veil, looming, but it does exist in those deep eyes.
Before long, the efficient boss brought all the steaming hot, delicious meals to the table.
Li Xiaoyao smiled and enthusiastically picked up a piece of tempting, fatty but not greasy braised pork with chopsticks, gently placed it in the bowl in front of Ye Jiaotang, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, this braised pork is the signature dish of this restaurant, you have to eat more!"
Ye Jiaotang nodded slightly and responded, "Okay, thank you, Xiaoyao."
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and started tasting without any hesitation.
I have to say that the portions of food in this fast food restaurant are quite generous.
After they had a feast, they both felt like their stomachs were about to burst.
When they put down their bowls and chopsticks with satisfaction, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Ye Jiaotang turned around and said to Li Xiaoyao beside him with a smile: "How about we go out for a walk, get some sunshine, take a walk, it will help digestion, what do you think?"
Li Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, it's good to go out and get some fresh air."
After that, the two of them stood up and left the restaurant, walking out the door side by side.
They strolled leisurely along the quiet forest path on campus.
As they walked, Ye Jiaotang suddenly asked casually, "Xiaoyao, what do you think about homosexuality?"
When Li Xiaoyao heard this, he paused for a moment, turned to look at Ye Jiaotang with some confusion, and asked, "Huh? Why did Brother Ye suddenly ask that?"
Ye Jiaotang took a deep breath and said, "If...if I told you that the person I like is actually a boy, what would you...what would you think?"
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiaoyao nervously, with a hint of uneasiness and anticipation in his eyes.
Li Xiaoyao was stunned at first, but quickly regained his composure.
He patted Ye Jiaotang's shoulder gently, then sighed deeply and said, "Brother Ye, it's no big deal! Actually, I don't like girls either."
After hearing what Li Xiaoyao said, Ye Jiaotang's tense nerves relaxed instantly. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, revealing a smile of relief and joy.
