3. Spicy Crab

I want to keep and collect new books, and I can’t recommend any of them! **************** Bincheng is an important harbor city in the north, so the temperature in summer every year is not too high compared to other famous cities in China. Especially after such a heavy rain, the air is filled with the fishy smell and coolness brought by the sea breeze.

Bincheng has begun to develop in 1999, especially with the strong promotion of the former star mayor, the entire city is developing like a garden city model. Because of its unique geographical advantages and construction over the past few years, it has developed quite well and has become a famous tourist city in the north.

Banyan trees grow on both sides of May 1st Road, and some old villas on both sides of the road that are full of architectural styles of the Republic of China, making this road full of the style of the Republic of China, which can be regarded as a unique landscape of the city.

On summer nights, the road is the most lively on both sides of the road. There are private seafood food stalls opened by houses on both sides of the road. This is also the peak tourist season, so this road seems extremely lively. There are crowds of people eating and playing on both sides of the road, which makes people feel crowded.

In the past, when Li Yifan walked on this road after school, he felt warm in his heart because the lively popularity here made him feel very comfortable. However, today his mood was in extreme chaos because he was trying hard to accept the fact that he was reborn along the way.

Li Yifan's home is a bungalow at the end of May 1st Road. This bungalow was an illegal building built by the original owner in the early 1980s. However, over the years, after a series of procedures have become legal.

Li Yifan and his parents rented here, and they lived with this shop with an area of ​​about 150 square meters, and the operator lived a small restaurant.

When his parents came to Longtou Village in the suburbs of Bincheng, Li Yifan was not the only child in the family. He had an older brother and an older sister. His arrival was completely an accident in terms of the new millennium terminology.

At this time, Li Yifan's sister had already got married and worked in the hometown of Longtou Village, while his brother served in the army. It was precisely because of the large population and heavy burden in the family, and the recession of the original unit, that Li Yifan's parents gritted their teeth and stopped working, and went to the sea to open a seafood restaurant in Bincheng with fear.

Unexpectedly, it happened to be in a good time. A few years ago, Bincheng became famous nationwide for its efforts to build a tourist city, which led to the rapid development of Bincheng's tourism industry. It is precisely because of this that their small restaurants have also made money because of the prosperity of the tourism industry.

Although it is not enough, it has made considerable improvements compared to the original life.

Li Yifan walked into his restaurant. It was the busiest time of the busiest time. Because Wuyi Road is close to the city center and there are many small hotels around it. Every year during the peak season of tourism, these hotels are filled with tourists from all over the country. This also made these small restaurants on May 1st Road popular, and Wuyi Road has become a famous snack street in Bincheng. In the front hall, more than a dozen dining tables are already full of tourists who come for midnight snacks, and several waiters are busy helping to order and serve. Li Yifan's mother Zhang Shu is busy washing dishes and washing vegetables in the kitchen, and also taking into account the knife work. Li Yifan's father and Li Liqiang are standing in front of the stove, constantly pulling a large spoon.

Second aunt Zhang Ying was standing in front of the counter and constantly pounding on the calculator to settle accounts for the customers who were checking out.

Seeing such a lively scene, Li Yifan put his schoolbag to the counter and started helping the waiter at home to do the work.

Second aunt Zhang Ying was a little surprised to see Li Yifan's behavior of the sun hitting the west today, but she didn't say anything. However, Li Yifan's mother Zhang Shu saw her son coming to help, but instead muttered a few words with kind faces. She was about to have a final exam, so why don't she go to review her homework quickly?

But when he saw Li Yifan running around and helping hard, he stopped talking about anything.

At 10:30 in the evening, the busy day finally ended. After finishing the final cleaning of the hotel, the waiters all went home. The second aunt and mother made the bill, and then cleaned up and went home.

At this time, Zhang Shu and Li Liqiang stopped from the busy day. Looking at the mother, who had silver threads on her temples and had slightly bloated figure, when she sat down to drink a sip of hot water, Li Yifan couldn't help feeling her nose felt a little sore.

"Son, why are you so sensible today? You actually know that you have helped when you go home?"

The mother put down the water cup and looked at Li Yifan with a smile and asked. She did not notice the injuries on Li Yifan's face, because the injuries were not too serious at all.

"Hmph! I would rather he not come to help and go back to review his homework. I would be grateful to him for being able to do well in this final exam."

His father Li Liqiang said something along the way, showing his disbelief of Li Yifan's academic performance.

Li Yifan is a young man at home, and because of this, he has been favored by his family since he was a child. Before he was ten years old, he lived with his grandfather in Longwang Village, and even went to the third grade of elementary school, and then he came to Bincheng's parents.

At the beginning, he was quite successful in his studies. At that time, his father relied on his cooking skills to work in the state-owned Zhengyang Hotel, and his mother was a factory doctor at the No. 1 Textile Factory in the City. Both of them had formal jobs, so he could also supervise his studies in a timely manner. However, three years later, the Zhengyang Hotel was unable to pay wages due to poor management, and the No. 1 Textile Factory in the City also faced bankruptcy due to poor management.

Considering their future life and the three children at home, Li Liqiang and Zhang Shu gritted their teeth and opened this small restaurant. Because of the hotel, the two of them didn't want to pay attention to Li Yifan's study. So from that time on, Li Yifan, who had poor self-control, began to plummet.

The original top students in the class suddenly became poor students, especially after entering junior high school and entering the rebellious period, it became even more difficult to discipline. Later, of course, he failed to pass the high school entrance exam. His father Li Liqiang spent a lot of money and found a lot of connections, which made Li Yifan enter No. 1 Middle School.

Now No. 1 Middle School is going to have a final exam, and will have to be managed in different classes next year. This is a big deal for many families with high school students. Although the Li family’s hotel is busy every day, in Li Liqiang and Zhang Shu’s minds, this is a big deal, because it will be an important watershed in his son’s future life.

Although Li Yifan's usual academic performance cannot be said to be the tail of a crane, he is also a middle-aged and lower-level class in the class, which makes Li Liqiang full of concerns about this final exam.

"Hey! How are you talking? My son is sensible and knows that it is not a good thing to come and help? Why are you yelling?"

The mother glared at Li Liqiang with a angrily look, and then looked at Li Yifan and asked.

"Son, how are you reviewing recently? Are you sure about the final exam this time?"

My mother's words were full of expectations, with a rosy face and a hint of shrewdness between her eyebrows. Although the father beside her was a verbal blame, she looked at her with expectant eyes at this time, and Li Yifan felt even softer. Now No. 1 Middle School has begun to quietly enter the era of fighting for her father. Due to the influx of various second-generation officials and second-generation rich people, the simple academic style of No. 1 Middle School was seriously affected. The school began to quietly rise in comparison, and incidents such as early love and fighting were also emerging one after another, which aroused the school's vigilance.

In order to maintain the reputation of No. 1 Middle School, the school started to pass the final exam in the first grade of senior high school. After this final exam, the school will reorganize classes. From Class 1 to Class 4, it will be listed as key science classes, Class 5 and Class 6 are key liberal arts classes, and the remaining eight classes will become the playground for the garbage. In short, everyone will play separately, and each one will play their own, so no one will influence anyone...

Once the situation was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in society, especially for parents of first-year students. Everyone knows what it means to stay in key classes?

So in the eyes of many people, this final exam is actually the most important watershed in many people's lives, and its importance is even no less than that of the future college entrance examination.

In his previous life, Li Yifan certainly failed miserably in this exam. In the end, his parents had to give up their faces and ask for help everywhere, spending more than 10,000 yuan to keep him in Class 3 where he was.

You should know that just this summer, the family's economy will suffer a heavy blow, which greatly damaged the Li Yifan's family. At that time, his parents took out the money and squeezed it out with gritted teeth.

Thinking about it a few years later, my mother fell into the root of the disease because of the series of changes that happened this year and finally died young. After more than ten years, my father turned into a lonely old man with white hair and hunched body. Li Yifan felt a little sore in his nose.

"Don't worry, mom, I've almost finished reviewing. I should have done a good job this time, so it should be fine to stay in the key class."

In order to reassure parents, Li Yifan said to his parents with a smile.

"I just knew my son was good."

When Zhang Shu heard her son say this, she felt like she had a reassurance. She and Li Liqiang were too busy and really didn’t have time to take care of the children. She felt quite guilty when her children’s studies fell to this point today. She glared at Li Liqiang quietly.

Li Liqiang also said with a smile on the side: "That's, that's..."

"Wait, son, mom has left you good things. Before the stove is turned off at night, I will let your dad cook it." As he said that, Zhang Shu went into the kitchen and took out a big plate with a large sea bowl on it. He was obviously afraid that the heat would go away, so he brought it to the table and opened it. It was a red and oily spicy crab inside.

Li Yifan usually likes to eat this dish the most, but unfortunately, although he opens a restaurant, this dish is not something he can easily eat because of its expensive price.

This looks like an ordinary plate of spicy crabs, but it carries the affection of parents and children.

"My son is going to have a final exam, so he must not lack nutrition, eat more."

Zhang Shu brought the bowls and chopsticks for Li Yifan. When Li Yifan saw that the plate of spicy crabs was full of weight, it must have been made by his parents to make them more ingredients in order to make him feel good. So he didn't say much and went directly to get two other pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

"My mom and dad, let's eat together..."

The oldest child is the time when his appetite is strongest, and he is not too mature in terms of human nature. In the past, if Li Yifan saw such delicacies, he would still remember to greet his parents, and he would definitely start eating directly. But today he actually knew how to take the initiative to greet his parents, which really made Li Liqiang and Zhang Shu feel a little unexpected.

"Well, you can eat too, eat more..."

Looking at Li Yifan who kept picking crabs in his bowl, Zhang Shu suddenly felt that her son had grown up suddenly, and Li Liqiang was even more happy to take out the wine cup and drink a glass.

Although it was not the most plump time for September crabs, this crab was the most delicious time that Li Yifan felt that he had eaten...
