Not everyone can ignore social class. After all, most people in the world are ordinary people, and it is very, very difficult to change one's existing social class through one's own abilities. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But Xia Lingrou did it!
For someone working and buying a house in Beijing, putting aside the issue of housing prices in Beijing, it is extremely difficult for an outsider to obtain the qualification to buy a house.
"Bought with a loan?"
Hearing Lin Mo's question, Yan Shiming couldn't help but laugh. "Don't underestimate this small house. The total price is over six million. Your teacher's wife is indeed good at making money, but we've donated a lot of our salaries over the years, so it's still difficult to buy it outright. But it's alright, we took out a loan of three million for ten years."
As he spoke, he rarely showed a confident smile, "I couldn't help much before, because the teachers' salaries in Jingchuan were very low. But now that I've come to the capital, the salary and benefits offered by Xiabei Affiliated High School are very good. Including the year-end bonus, I can earn nearly thirty thousand a year, which can help your teacher's wife catch her breath."
"Oh, by the way, I should thank you for this. I got the job at Xiabei Affiliated High School entirely thanks to your connections. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for me to get such a well-paying job on my own."
Lin Mo listened attentively to these matters concerning the parents, then smiled and waved his hand, "Teacher, you're too kind. I only mentioned it briefly to the principal. Actually, your work has little to do with me. Why are you thanking me?"
Just then, at the kitchen door, Xia Lingrou peeked out and winked at her husband, "Honey, don't listen to Lin Mo's nonsense. He didn't just mention it briefly to Principal Ke. He put a lot of effort into this matter."
Yan Shiming smiled and nodded, "I understand."
Lin Mo was speechless. "Teacher's wife, you shouldn't be so blunt."
Xia Lingrou smiled broadly, "What's done is done. Your teacher Yan and I didn't prepare any thank-you gift, so why are you still afraid to admit it?"
Lin Mo smirked, "There's no need to bring up something like 'no thank-you gift'?"
An Youyu tilted her head and chuckled to herself.
Xia Lingrou said helplessly, "Lin Mo, it's not that your teacher's wife is teasing you on purpose. Actually, your teacher Yan and I originally planned to buy you a gift as a thank you, but after thinking about it, we didn't know what to buy you. It seems like you don't lack anything."
Yan Shiming smiled wryly, "I can vouch for your teacher's wife. She spent several nights in a row trying to figure out what gift to give you, but after all that deliberation, she discovered that one of your dresses costs tens of thousands..."
"cough!"
Lin Mo spread his hands helplessly, "Teacher, teacher's wife, you can't blame me for this. Who told me to be born into such a wealthy family? Even if I wanted to keep a low profile, my abilities wouldn't allow it."
Yan Shiming: "..."
Xia Lingrou: "..."
That smug act is so annoying, I just want to punch him!
Chapter 842 Alcohol tolerance...not bad
The sudden silence made the atmosphere in the living room somewhat eerie.
After noticing the look of rage in Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou's eyes, Lin Mo couldn't help but cough, "Just kidding, why are you all staring at me like that? It's kind of scary."
Yan Shiming's lips twitched. "Lin Mo, I really regret not taking the opportunity to beat you up a few times back in our senior year of high school. Now that's too late, I can't find a suitable reason to beat you up anymore."
His tone was full of resentment and regret.
Xia Lingrou nodded in agreement, "That's right, this kid deserves a good beating. It's one thing to be ignorant of human suffering, but to be stuck in Versailles like this, he really deserves a beating, don't you think, Yu'er?"
Suddenly being questioned, An Youyu blinked in confusion, but quickly realized what was happening and shook her head, "No, no."
Xia Lingrou was amused by her appearance. "What's wrong? Don't you think what that kid said just now was really annoying?"
I don't think so.
An Youyu shook her head again, "What my brother just said was just the truth. It's just that the teacher and his wife are being too sensitive. He was indeed born into a good family, that's the truth."
"And with his abilities, even if he wasn't born into a good family, he could still live a life of financial freedom. You might not know Lin Mo very well, but he's really amazing, just like..."
Seeing that the girl was praising him endlessly, Xia Lingrou quickly stopped her, "Alright, alright, I'm going to cook, you two continue chatting."
After saying that, he turned and went into the kitchen.
An Youyu looked at Yan Shiming opposite her, "Teacher, let me explain it to you..."
"Stop."
Yan Shiming looked bitter. "Girl, I know you and Lin Mo are dating, but you can't just lie through your teeth. That kid's words just now were really annoying. Besides, I didn't deny that what he said wasn't true, but facts are facts, and being annoying is being annoying."
An Youyu continued to shake her head, "I don't deserve a beating."
These four simple words left Yan Shiming utterly helpless.
have to.
This girl is clearly biased towards her own.
No matter what you say, she just won't agree.
In this situation, saying anything more is a waste of breath.
Seeing the speechless look on Yan Shiming's face, Lin Mo almost burst out laughing. He had always been the one to protect his own before, but now he could finally enjoy being protected by a girl.
Wow, this feels really good.
An Youyu smiled, her dimples making her smile even sweeter and softer. "Then you and Lin Mo can chat, I'll go help your wife."
Just as Yan Shiming was about to speak, Lin Mo said with a smile, "Teacher, let her go. This girl can't stay still."
"alright."
After An Youyu went into the kitchen, Yan Shiming raised an eyebrow at Lin Mo, "Want to have some drinks at noon? I specially prepared a bottle of good wine for you for this meal, as a way of thanking you for helping me find a job before."
"Teacher Yan, you're being too formal by saying that."
Lin Mo waved his hand, "We're all family, why be so polite? Let's drink, no need for thanks."
Yan Shiming laughed loudly, "When you weren't so rude, I actually found you quite pleasing to the eye."
Lin Mo: "..."
Those words truly reflect Old Yan's insight!
Under Xia Lingrou's arrangement, nearly twenty dishes were prepared for lunch, filling the entire coffee table. Although they were not delicacies, they had the warmth of home.
"There's too much; we can't finish it all."
Lin Mo clicked his tongue and said, "Master's wife, you've worked hard. Please take a seat."
Xia Lingrou rolled her eyes at Lin Mo. "Why should I take the seat? You and Yu'er should be the ones taking the seats. Alright, don't be shy, eat while it's hot."
As she spoke, she kicked her husband, "Go, sit across from me. Yu'er and I will sit here."
Yan Shiming laughed heartily, got up and went back to his room. When he reappeared in the living room, he was holding a bottle of Moutai. "Lin Mo, it's a rare opportunity like this. We must have a couple of drinks at noon today."
Xia Lingrou chuckled inwardly, "Lin Mo, if you can drink, have a drink with your teacher. He bought this bottle of wine not long after he came to the capital and has been saying he'd like to have a drink with you, but we haven't had the chance yet."
"But don't drink too much, just enjoy yourself."
Yan Shiming sat down next to Lin Mo, unscrewed the bottle, took out two glasses of wine, each about an ounce, and poured wine for Lin Mo while asking, "How's your alcohol tolerance? I'm not drinking with you to get you drunk, I'm just having fun."
Upon hearing Yan Shiming's question, Lin Mo gave an ambiguous reply, "My alcohol tolerance... is so-so."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shiming's smile deepened. "Young man, if you can't do it, you can't do it. There's no one else here. Just tell the truth, and no one will laugh at you."
Lin Mo smacked his lips and silently extended his index finger.
Yan Shiming: "One cup?"
Lin Mo: "That's not right."
Yan Shiming: "One tael?"
Lin Mo: "That's not right."
Yan Shiming was a little confused. "Stop keeping me in suspense, how much can you drink?"
Lin Mo cleared his throat and chuckled dryly, "If nothing unexpected happens, I can... keep drinking."
Drinking all the time?
Upon hearing this, Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou exchanged bewildered glances.
That's quite a boast!
Only An Youyu kept a straight face and unconsciously lowered her head.
To others, Lin Mo's words might sound like boasting.
But only she knew that Lin Mo never boasted.
Xia Lingrou winked at her husband and concluded directly, "Honey, this kid is bragging. You'd better get him drunk!"
"Small idea."
Yan Shiming smiled confidently, nodded responsibly, and raised his glass to Lin Mo, saying, "It was you who insisted on bragging. Your teacher's wife doesn't like you, so don't blame me. You're not going to walk out here today!"
Lin Mo managed a weak twitch at the corner of his mouth.
These days, why does nobody believe you when you tell the truth?
Can't there be some trust between people?
"What are you still standing there for? You can drink all the time, right? I won't bully you. Come on, drink three cups in a row. If you can't finish three cups, you don't have the right to touch your chopsticks."
Hearing Yan Shiming say this, Lin Mo was too lazy to explain anymore. Anyway, it was useless to explain anything now; only facts could prove everything.
"Okay, drink!"
After downing three glasses of wine, Yan Shiming's face flushed slightly. Seeing that Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged, he looked at him with a hint of surprise. "You're quite something, kid. It seems you can hold your liquor quite well. But it's a pity you ran into me today. Do you know my old nickname?"
Lin Mo tentatively asked, "King Yama?"
"Screw you!"
Yan Shiming laughed and scolded, "King Yama is a nickname given to me by your students. Among the teachers at No. 2 Middle School, I have an even more resounding nickname."
Lin Mo was very curious, "An even more impressive nickname? What is it?"
As the alcohol began to take effect, Yan Shiming took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and waved his left hand forcefully, shouting, "God of Wine!"
"Bacchus?"
Upon hearing the answer, Lin Mo's expression became extremely strange.
This nickname... seems more suitable for him.
Because he had the god of wine descend upon him...
Yan Shiming patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, "Don't feel pressured, don't worry, I'll just drink you under the table, I won't drink any more."
"Drink me under the table?"
