From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

"We now have three foreign teachers in our school, who are mainly responsible for teaching Y language, but they only teach students in the elite class." Xiaoxi hurried to help explain, and his eating manners were much more elegant than Xiaobei's.

Li Chengye was a little surprised, one because of the foreign teachers, and the other because there was actually an elite class.

"Yes, yes, my brother and I are both in the elite class in the first grade of junior high school." Xiaobei swallowed a mouthful of food and looked very proud.

"Hehe, my two children have very good grades, and they were ranked first and second in their age group in the entrance examination, so they were directly assigned to the elite class." Li's mother was also very proud when she talked about this.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoxi and Xiaobei, you are really great." Li Chengye was naturally very happy. He had little time to take care of the two children, but the situation changed their spirit and body. Almost all of them were teachers from Tsinghua University, so they naturally received a lot of knowledge.

It is possible that Chengye inherited the original owner's smart brain, plus Li's mother's side, so it is not surprising that he can be among the top.

"They are all good children, obedient and sensible." Li's mother was also very emotional. Children from poor families are sensible early. Although their family is in a good situation now, and can be said to be in the upper class of society, the memories of childhood will always leave a memory on people.

"You must continue to work hard in the future, and don't be too proud." Praise is necessary, but also a knock.

"Got it." The two children were very serious about studying. You know, their father, aunt and uncle are all students of Capital University. They have long made up their minds to follow their father's footsteps and apply for Capital University in the future.

The meal was almost finished while they were talking, and there was no drinking, so everyone was still very fast. Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Li Chengye reached into his trouser pocket.

"This is a gift I brought back from abroad, one for each person."

Two watches were placed on the table. The watch dial was not very big, and it had a silver metallic luster. The whole watch was almost made of pure silver. It was a mechanical watch.

"Wow, what a beautiful watch!" Xiaobei's eyes widened at once, and he quickly picked up one and put it on his wrist.

"Oh, how much does this cost? You are studying abroad, how can you buy such an expensive thing?" Li's mother was also shocked and worried. This watch looks expensive. I heard that foreign things are expensive. Her son has no income, so how can he dare to buy such an important thing.

"Mom, I have a job abroad and I have made a lot of money. Don't worry, and this watch is not very expensive." Li Chengye was telling the truth. Although these two watches were produced by a world-famous handmade watch factory, they were not very expensive. There were no gems or gold.

The most important thing is that the two children are still young, and he dare not buy them too expensive things. After all, everyone is generally poor at this time. It is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth. If it is too expensive, it will easily arouse envy.

"Don't lie to me!" Li's mother was still a little worried.

"How could I lie to you!" Li Chengye smiled helplessly.

On the other side, Xiaoxi was still watching Li's mother talking, and did not move the watch on the table. Xiaobei was already wearing it on his hand, but unfortunately the watch was a bit big and loose, and it fell off his wrist all of a sudden.
