Rebirth: I Didn't Expect to Be a Scholar

"Grandpa" Liu Yanming looked at him worriedly.

The smile on the old man's face was serene, "A Ming, your grandma has come to see me."

Liu Yanming stared blankly at his grandfather. Having experienced rebirth, he now has reservations about many non-scientific matters.

"Your grandma is wearing my favorite blue dress. She is still young and beautiful, but I am old." The old man's eyes were filled with sadness.

Liu Yanming was squatting at Grandpa's feet, holding his dry hand, "Did Grandma say anything?"

The old man’s eyes were full of water, and his voice was trembling, “Mingli didn’t talk to me, she just smiled at me. I told her that Jianguo and Guoqiang were married and had two grandchildren. My favorite grandson will definitely be admitted to university in the future. I told her everything I could think of, but she just didn’t reply to me.”

"Grandpa, where did you meet grandma?" The old man's hands were cold, and Liu Yanming felt uncomfortable.

"Beside you." Grandpa shifted his gaze to Liu Yanming's right.

Liu Yanming turned his head following the old man's gaze. There was nothing beside him, but after hearing what his grandfather said, he felt a little strange in his heart.

The old man suddenly shouted excitedly, "Ming! Your grandma talked to me!"

Liu Yanming asked quickly, "What did grandma say?"

The old man seemed to be stupefied, muttering to himself, "Bright and bright!"

"Grandpa, grandpa!" Liu Yanming shook his hand nervously.

After a few minutes, the grandfather suddenly calmed down, his eyes became sober, he shifted his gaze to his grandson's face, and said calmly, "A Ming, I want to rest for a while, please help me to the rocking chair."

Liu Yanming's lips trembled slightly, unable to utter a sound, he supported his grandfather to stand up with both hands, and helped him to the rocking chair on the balcony.

The rocking chair was bought after grandpa came to the house. Grandpa likes to lie on the rocking chair to take a nap in the morning. Liu Yanming once tried lying on the rocking chair, and it was very comfortable.

The old man was lying on the rocking chair with his hands on his stomach, his eyes were slightly closed, half open and half closed, as if he was drowsy, Liu Yanming covered him with a thin quilt, and sat on the small stool next to the rocking chair to watch .

After a few minutes, Liu Yanming thought that grandpa had fallen asleep, and was about to get up to call his father, when the old man suddenly spoke, "Remember to bury me in Beishan after I leave, your grandma only wants jasmine there, and no other you There is a box with dad, and the key is in the drawer of your bedroom, burn all of them to me for [-] yuan for your dad and [-] yuan for your uncle."

The old man was chattering, arranging the funeral, Liu Yanming knelt beside him, with tears in his eyes, "Grandpa"

"Go and call your dad and tell him to come back, go." The old man slowly closed his slightly closed eyes, and rubbed the top of his grandson's hair with his last strength.

Two clear tears flowed down Liu Yanming's face, he nodded, hurriedly got up from the ground, ran to the phone, dialed his father's number, and turned his head to watch Grandpa's movements.

"toot"

The phone hadn't been connected yet, and the old man's arm slipped off the edge of the rocking chair and drooped to the ground.

The microphone fell from Liu Yanming's hand and fell on the table, Liu Yanming burst into tears.

"Hey?"

Liu Guoqiang connected the phone, but there was no answer, only the sound of crying could be heard. When he heard it carefully, it was his son's voice. He quickly shouted, "A Ming! What's wrong? A Ming!"

"Father, grandpa, let's go!" Liu Yanming broke down in tears and sat on the ground.

After Liu Guoqiang heard his son's words, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. He forgot to hang up the phone, put the phone in his pocket, and ran home frantically.

"Old Liu? Why are you going?" Seeing Liu Guoqiang running out like crazy, the worker hurriedly yelled.

Liu Guoqiang rushed out of the construction site without looking back, with only one thought in his mind, to go home.

It took 15 minutes to walk. Liu Guoqiang ran home in 5 minutes. After rushing into the house, he saw the old father lying on the rocking chair and leaving peacefully. The son knelt beside the old father, holding his hand. Hands, eyes swollen like walnuts, as if shed tears.

"father!"

Liu Guoqiang wailed, and knelt down next to the rocking chair with a plop.

"Dad, dad! Wake up! Open your eyes and look at me! Dad!"

Liu Guoqiang's eyes were red and filled with tears.

Liu Yanming snuffed his nose, took a deep breath, raised his head and was about to tell his father and grandfather what he had arranged, when suddenly his eyes blurred, and he saw a woman in a blue dress drifting past and disappearing behind the curtain.

Liu Yanming opened his eyes wide, staring at the slightly shaking curtains for a moment, and couldn't help murmuring, "Grandma?"

Suddenly, his chest felt hot, Liu Yanming's eyes darkened, and he passed out.

"A Ming!"

After Liu Yanming opened his eyes again, the room was pitch black, his eyes were sore and astringent, and his chest was still slightly hot. He touched his chest and touched the Buddha pendant.

He took out the Buddha pendant from the collar, suddenly the room was dimly lit, and it was the Buddha pendant that gave off a faint light.

Liu Yanming sat up straight, staring at the Buddha pendant in his hand with wide eyes.

My own rebirth is inseparable from the Buddha pendant. The last time the Buddha pendant became hot was when I was reborn, so why did the Buddha pendant become hot this time?grandfather?Or grandma?

The light from the Buddha pendant gradually faded, and the temperature gradually became colder. After the Buddha pendant became cold in Liu Yanming's palm, the room was pitch black again.

He waited for a while, and after the Buddha pendant did not move, he stuffed it back into his clothes.

After getting out of bed, turning on the light, Liu Yanming walked to the living room, the living room was also pitch black, he was the only one at home.

Turning on the light in the living room, Liu Yanming called his father, but the phone didn't connect, so he called his mother again.

"Hello?" The voice on the phone was exhausted.

"Mom, where is grandpa? Where are you?"

"Your father is accompanying your grandfather in the hospital. I came to the funeral parlor. The owner of this store said that last week, your grandpa came to him to order a coffin and shroud." Xu Xueqin couldn't continue speaking in the middle of the sentence. After a while, he broke down in tears and said: "A Ming, my father left a long time ago. Ever since I married your father, your grandfather has treated me like a daughter. I didn't notice anything unusual about him."

Listening to his mother's crying, Liu Yanming had tears in the corners of his eyes.

Grandpa was buried in Beishan, and the grave was covered with jasmine flowers. All the Liu family members knelt in front of the grave, and the things in the box were placed on the ground.

The day before, Liu Yanming opened the box mentioned by his grandfather, and saw two marriage certificates inside. There were black and white photos of his grandparents when he was young. Wearing a dress, his grandfather looks simple and honest, with a smirk on his face and a Chinese tunic suit.In the photo, the two looked very happy, fingers clasped and staring at each other.

Under the marriage certificate was an old black Chinese tunic suit, which was the same style as the clothes worn by grandpa in the photo. Liu Yanming guessed that when grandma took the photo, she should be wearing a blue skirt, and this tunic suit was worn by grandpa.

Liu Guoqiang lit these things, and Liu Yanming knelt on the ground, watching the flames quickly devour the clothes and marriage certificate.

The flames gradually died down, leaving a pile of ash on the ground, which was blown into the air by a gust of wind.

Liu Yanming seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head to look back. A young man in a black tunic suit and a beautiful woman in a blue dress stood under the shade of a tree, waving and smiling at each other, and their figures slowly faded away.

He opened his eyes wide, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, feeling inexplicably relieved. Perhaps this situation is a kind of happiness for grandpa.

It took more than a few months for Liu Yanming's depressed mood to return to normal. He was promoted to the third year of high school, and Xiao Chengmin became more and more busy. Although the contact between the two has not been broken, the communication has become less and less.

In mid-December, City F held the Huaguo Food Competition every three years. This competition can be regarded as the preliminary competition of the International Food Competition. The scope of the competition is aimed at folk chefs without chef certificates. , anyone can sign up.

The publicity of this competition was very strong. From November to December, the scarf remained the most popular. Liu Yanming's fans were also restless, speculating whether Ah Ming would participate.

Liu Yanming thought of the unfinished new dishes in his previous life, and felt a little unwilling. He really wanted to participate in the international food competition and complete the unfinished goal.

He thought about it for two days. If he wants to participate in the international food competition every four years, he must have a chef certificate. To obtain a chef certificate, he must not only pass the exam, but also have to stay in the chef school for a full year. His goal is to go to university, where there is no chef as a major.

If you participate in the Huaguo Cuisine Contest, and rank fourth to tenth, you can directly obtain a junior chef certificate and some bonuses, and rank first to third, you can directly obtain a senior chef certificate and generous bonuses. No.1 can also directly participate in the second round of the International Gastronomy Contest without participating in the preliminary round.

But I am now in my third year of high school, and I will take the college entrance examination in a few months, and there is a risk of being stripped of my vest if I participate in the competition.

Liu Yanming thought over and over again, but couldn't make a decision for a long time, and finally handed over the choice to Er Dan.

Liu Yanming said earnestly to Erdanyu: "You call once, which means I will not participate in the competition. If you call twice or more, I will participate in the competition! This is related to the future fate of your master, and it is also indirectly related to your fate. , you must think carefully before calling!"

Erdan tilted her head, "Meow?"

Liu Yanming waited for a while, but there was still no second meow. He coughed dryly, clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Since you have made your choice, I will go to the competition! That's the decision!"

Two eggs:

Liu Yanming told his father and mother what he thought, but Xu Xueqin directly objected, thinking that it would delay his studies.Liu Guoqiang supports his son's idea, thinking that his academic performance is stable, and he can try to realize his idea.

The father and son took turns to go to battle, talking about it in front of her for three days, Xu Xueqin finally let go, and agreed that his son, accompanied by his father, would go to City F by car on December 12th to participate in the preliminary competition on the 15th.

Liu Yanming is very clear about all the rules, procedures and competition items of the Huaguo Food Competition in his last life. He served as a judge of the No.13 Huaguo Food Competition, and he also knows about the No.11 Competition. He has 1% confidence He is sure that he can get the top three, but he dare not guarantee No.[-] for the time being, after all, there are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains.

The father and son packed up their things, got on the bus to F city, and set off unsteadily.

After a whole day of driving, they finally arrived in City F. The two were looking for a hotel near the square where the competition was held.

More than a dozen cheap hotels, guest houses, and homestays are all full, and even the slightly expensive hotels are full, leaving only a gorgeous five-star hotel 'Hao Gong', with a large number of vacancies .

The father and son stood at the entrance of the hotel and looked at each other. The father hesitated and said, "I'll stay here for one night, but it's my monthly salary. Ah Ming, let's look for it."

Liu Yanming grabbed Dad's arm dumbfounded, "Dad, I've been live broadcasting for more than two years. Don't you know how much money I made? It's not a problem to live here for a month. I make money to let you and Mom Xiangfu, don't get entangled, let's go in quickly."

In the end, Liu Guoqiang was forcibly pulled in by his son.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the roof, and the walls are covered with mirrors that can reflect people's shadows. Just as Liu Guoqiang walked into this magnificent hall, he was almost dazzled.

The welcoming lady was wearing a cheongsam and walked towards the father and son, "Misters, do you want to stay?"

Liu Yanming nodded and smiled, "Accommodation."

"Please come with me, both of you." Miss Yingbin bent down slightly, and led the father and son to the front desk.

"Father, give me your ID card." Liu Yanming held out his hand to his father.

Liu Guoqiang was still a little dazed at this moment, and reflexively took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to his son.

Liu Yanming filled out the form, swiped his card to pay, and took the elevator up to the eighth floor with his father.

After entering the business suite, Liu Guoqiang swooped down on the soft bed and said with emotion: "This is the first time I've stayed in such a luxurious hotel."

Liu Yanming packed his luggage, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "From now on, dad can just enjoy his life."

Liu Guoqiang laughed and rolled around on the bed, "I'll enjoy the blessings when I'm seventy or eighty. It's too early to enjoy the blessings now."

"With a good son like me, it's hard for you not to enjoy yourself."
