Chapter 44: Dad: This is fifty thousand! Go spend it however you like!
Holy crap!!!
This blurted-out swear wasn't from Li Mingyang, but from the steady old dad beside him.
Although Li Mingyang himself had said he had a good chance and was likely to win this year's College Entrance Exam Top Scorer, when such a score was actually right before his eyes.
Even the old dad couldn't help but feel emotionally stirred, and subconsciously blurted out a swear.
Even the very next second after seeing the score clearly, both old dad and old mom couldn't help but redden their rims.
Do you remember a few months ago? The old couple were still worrying about Li Mingyang's studies, thinking their little rascal was good for nothing.
If in the future he could just barely get into college on the College Entrance Exam, that would already be them burning high incense.
How little time has passed? Their little rascal really did just as he said, directly taking first place in the whole province!
It really feels like a dream! Even though the score is solidly right before their eyes, old dad and old mom still can't help feeling a bit dazed.
What followed was immense excitement, plus an inexplicable feeling moving from the soul— their little rascal truly has a future!
The provincial College Entrance Exam Top Scorer! College Entrance Exam Top Scorer! This really is a top scorer!
Never expected such talent to appear in their Laoli family— not easy, really not easy!
Only after great difficulty did they snap out of the joy of being first in total score province-wide; old dad and old mom immediately took out their phones to snap a photo of the score.
Not for any other reason, just afraid they might accidentally lose it later and not be able to see it.
They've only just looked at the total score and individual subject scores; they haven't even examined them closely, and no matter how carefully they look they can't see any trick, let alone inflate the scores.
But the old couple just love to look, love doing this— such nice scores, they feel they could look at them for three or five days without getting tired.
Chinese 132 points
Math directly full score 150 points!
English also reached an unprecedented high, with a full 126 points!
Then comes the last science comprehensive, 296 points, just a little shy of full marks!
Even Li Mingyang himself, upon seeing this score, couldn't help but feel delighted; this score is a bit higher than his own estimate.
The exam's raw total score already reached 704 points, then plus 20 points of ethnic bonus, total directly came to 724, truly deserving of the provincial College Entrance Exam Top Scorer!
Li Mingyang sincerely feels that, even if he weren't an ethnic minority and didn't have those 20 bonus points, he likely would still have been the provincial first.
After all, in past years when the College Entrance Exam questions were a bit simpler, the so-called top scorer was usually around 704 points.
This year's questions are even harder; it's uncertain whether the top scorer will even reach 700 points!
"Have a future! Worthy of being my son, saying you could get provincial first, then you must be provincial first!"
At this point, old dad finally burst out with a wanton smile, his laughter wild and unrestrained.
It seemed that certain things long suppressed in his heart were finally released at this moment.
He felt his whole body relax all at once, even somewhat elated; old dad's heart couldn't be more delighted.
Old mom beside him was similar, only she had to be more reserved, but the smile on her face just couldn't be stopped.
The corners of her mouth were about to split back to her ears, the main feature being a face full of red glow.
Seeing his parents' performance like this, Li Mingyang even felt a bit worried, wondering if the old couple might faint from joy.
Indeed, that face full of red glow was somewhat overly flushed, like a person who had been upside down for ten minutes, with all blood rushing to the head.
"Right, you little brat, didn't you say you were preparing to buy some stuff and also go out to play?"
"If it were before, old dad probably really had no money to give you, but now we just sold our house, right?"
While saying that, old dad pulled out his phone and directly transferred a full fifty thousand to Li Mingyang's WeChat!
"Take it and spend it; if it's not enough, come back and ask old dad, as long as you're not going out squandering on decadent luxuries, spend it however you like, kid!"
At this moment, old dad's performance was downright extravagant; he estimates he's never been this generous and happy when spending money in his whole life.
And on this side, after Li Mingyang received the money, he wasn't polite with his old dad either— this money came just in time.
He was still thinking that if he waited for his various bonuses to come through, wouldn't it be too late? It would just waste his happy playtime.
Now looking back… he actually doesn't need to worry about that anymore.
Fifty thousand, even if it includes buying a good phone and a good computer, the remaining money is enough for him to leisurely enjoy this vacation.
After all, money these days is still quite valuable; milk tea and such are still just a few bucks a cup!
