The next day, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan packed up and went home. After that, they came to find Mei Fang to finish watching "Lonely Ridge".
Although this movie is indeed scary, the content of the bet is to scare the other party to tears. In order to get one of Mei Fang's wishes, Xia Yuan closed his eyes, covered his ears, or stared at Mei Fang. Although he would be scared and grab Mei Fang and whimper, he was far from being scared to tears.
Only the honest Lin Youxi was watching the movie seriously. Since Mei Fang was afraid of being pinched this time, she deliberately put Xia Yuan in the middle. However, Lin Youxi did not pinch Xia Yuan like she did to Mei Fang. In the end, Mei Fang caught her wiping tears, so she had to admit defeat.
According to the previous bet, Lin Youxi lost the bet, and she had to cook lunch for Mei Fang every day until Xiang Xiaoxia came back.
And Xia Yuan’s wish in the end is also very interesting.
She chose to protect Lin Youxi like she did when she was a child and asked Mei Fang to stop punishing Lin Youxi.
This is barely to be expected...
Mei Fang's summer vacation living alone passed in a flash.
However, although he lives alone, his door has been constantly knocked by Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan in the past two months. Later, Mei Fang was too lazy to get up early to open the door, so he just made a key for them to go in and out.
Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan don't always go to Mei Fang to play. Both of them have the habit of getting up early. Xia Yuan will come to study early in the morning, while Lin Youxi is keen on trying various dishes. Letting Mei Fang and Xia Yuan taste the dishes she cooked is actually no different from fulfilling the bet.
They also played computer games together at home. At that time, Xia Yuan went home because her family also bought a computer. Lin Youxi played with Xia Yuan at Mei Fang's house.
When they play, they will open QQ video and play with each other while video chatting. It is a wonderful fun for girls.
Mei Fang bought Mei Ya the Subor FC game, and they also played it. The experience of the controller opened the door to a new world for them, and a Contra game could keep two people playing for an entire afternoon. Mei Fang thought that when they were older, they could buy real console games, and he would do his best to improve their gaming aesthetics so that they would not go astray.
As for the "Old Bird Founds the Thing" game project that Mei Fang had been thinking about since the beginning of the spring, he found a simple art outsourcing project online and then posted it on some domestic websites, such as 3XiaoYi and YouXia.
As for the result of the submission, naturally no one paid attention to it, and there were a lot of comments, most of which were negative.
[What kind of rotten fish and shrimp dares to call itself a game. 】
[The flash games I played on 4388 were more fun than this. ]
【If you want to cheat me for advertising money, don’t click. 】
It seems that there is a problem with the delivery strategy.
Mei Fang also reviewed the situation carefully later and found that most of the netizens of these well-known game portals are accustomed to getting 3A games for free, and they only have 3A standards in their eyes.
If you really want to promote it, you have to make it a hot topic on the mobile platform. The target users of the early bird catches the worm are first of all potential players who don’t play games very often. There is no need to be discouraged.
Then Mei Fang researched some information and found out that the iOS platform UNITY was already supported in 08. So he started to make iOS packages, hoping to get a share of the APPstore.
Lin Youxi still hasn't told Mei Fang about the specific plan she mentioned in early spring about saving money to buy things, but she is still busy making money by playing as a substitute, and it seems that her goal has not yet been achieved.
Under Mei Fang's guidance, she also learned how to write scripts for automatic operations and create some small accounts to work for the big account, which was what Mei Fang had been doing before.
Finally, it is September 9st, the day when primary and secondary schools start.
His little leather jacket finally went to junior high school. As a father, Meilijun was very happy. He took a special leave and drove back to accompany his son to register.
"Why do you have such a lifeless expression? You are a middle school student now. You should be energetic and cheerful."
Mei Lijun reminded Mei Fang who was sitting in the back row, and Mei Fang replied with disdain:
"Don't you know that it's uncivilized to honk your horn loudly in the neighborhood? Don't show off all the time. Even though you're just an official, you're also a leading cadre now. Pay attention to your image among the masses."
"That's what I'm saying, Dad is such a disgrace." Mei Ya followed up, feeling heartbroken.
Mei Lijun looked sad. "It's fine if Mei Fang has entered a rebellious period, but why don't you treat me like a little girl when you are so young, Xiaoya?"
"Drive carefully and don't keep looking left and right."
In the end, Mei Lijun was taught a lesson by his wife Xiang Xiaoxia.
Mei Lijun planned to take his wife and daughter to register for elementary school first, and then take his son to junior high school. Not long after they drove out of the community, they saw Lin Youxi and her father standing on the street. Lin Youxi stood on one side, and her father squatted on the ground to adjust the motorcycle.
After Mei Fang and Mei Ya reminded him, Mei Lijun stopped the car, rolled down the window and spoke to Lin Youxi and his daughter, "Lao Lin, is your motorcycle broken?"
When Lin Youxi's father saw Mei Fang's family, he hurriedly stood up to greet them and wiped the oil off his nose. "I usually ride well, but today it won't start."
Mei Fang, who was sitting in the back seat, also rolled down the window and said, "Uncle Lin, why don't you put the motorcycle aside and fix it later? Then take our car to sign up first."
"This is not good, disturbing your family."
Father Lin smiled and said, "Youxi and I will take a taxi there when the time comes."
"Hey, Lao Lin. Why are you being so polite to us? I still have room in my car. We signed up together anyway, so it's convenient for us."
"Come up quickly, Lao Lin. It will be too late to sign up if you continue to bother."
"Sister Youxi, come up quickly!"
So the Lin family father and daughter followed and got into Mei Lijun's car. Mei Ya grabbed Lin Youxi's hand and asked her to sit next to her, "Sister Youxi, I'm in the second grade of elementary school now!"
"Yeah, you're amazing."
Lin Youxi touched Mei Ya's head, and the two of them had a very good relationship; Lin's father on the side seemed a little embarrassed and kept looking at the scenery outside the window.
Mei Fang's parents were already familiar with Lin Youxi's father, and as soon as Xiang Xiaoxia and Mei Lijun got in the car, they started chatting enthusiastically.
From their previous conversations and Lin Youxi's descriptions, Mei Fang also learned a lot of information.
Lin Youxi's father, Lin Guochuan, works on construction sites all year round, but he is not a construction worker on the site, but a site engineer, whose job is similar to that of a technician. He is responsible for directing construction and making on-site plans.
Although such technical work is hard, the salary in 08 was relatively high compared to other industries. This is one of the reasons why there were so many applicants for the civil engineering major in the early days. So it stands to reason that Lin Youxi's family is not very poor.
However, work is work, and Lin Youxi's family has other worries.
As Meilijun was chatting, he brought up this worry again.
"Old Lin, come to think of it... your brother-in-law, is he still asking you for money all day long?"
Lin Guochuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't mention it."
Xiang Xiaoxia said indignantly, "I heard that guy is idle all day long, playing cards in the card shop every day. You can help such a person once or twice, but you can't support him in his old age!"
"When his sister was around, he was actually quite well behaved. Now that there's no one in his family to supervise him, he's become lawless."
Lin Guochuan shook his head. "It's because he doesn't have many relatives now. I'm his brother-in-law. I'll help take care of him if I can."
"If you ask me, you are just too honest."
Mei Lijun said, "According to your qualifications at the construction site, you should have been promoted long ago, but you didn't compete with others. Also, your brother-in-law got a lot of compensation when his sister passed away, so there's no reason for you to give it to him! If your family was more well-off, you could spend more time with Youxi and buy her some more beautiful clothes."
"Yes Yes……"
Lin Guochuan smiled and nodded, he did not refute Meilijun's words. Youxi, who was sitting next to him, listened to the voice, his hands kept turning around, and the expression on his face was also lonely and depressed.
Xiang Xiaoxia, who was standing by, saw this scene from the rearview mirror and quickly interrupted Meili Jun's output:
"You won't get killed if you say less. You talk as if you are quite capable. You have been working in Baizhou City for three years and have achieved nothing."
"If the people above me don't step down, how can I have a chance to be promoted? Besides, I—"
"Dad, just focus on driving."
Mei Fang interrupted, "We are still in a hurry to sign up!"
"Oh, I know, I know!"
Now there is only one unhappy person in the car.
And a very unhappy one.
Chapter 062 Why play other games?
Lin Youxi's father, Lin Guochuan, is generally a good and honest man.
But such people are the easiest to be bullied.
Under his influence, Lin Youxi has been humble since childhood, but she also wanted to prove herself in some way, and in recent years she has gradually developed her own ideas.
Mei Fang tried to think about some of the memories of Lin Youxi in his previous life. Under that aura that seemed impossible to approach, he didn't expect that she had experienced so much pain in her original family.
At that time, there were people in the class spreading rumors about how prominent Lin Youxi's family background was, but she herself didn't care about her clothes and appearance. Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous.
But now it's okay...
After all, now I know.
Mei Lijun, the most unhappy person in the car, first sent Mei Ya and Xiang Xiaoxia to register for primary school, and then asked Lin Guochuan to sit in the passenger seat and chat with him about national affairs, current affairs, and world football. Lin Guochuan graduated from university and was a learned man. The two men felt the joy of pointing fingers at the country and laughed non-stop.
Mei Fang and Lin Youxi sat in the back row. Mei Fang asked Lin Youxi:
"Why didn't you bring your schoolbag today?"
"Aren't we just signing up and leaving?" Lin Youxi wondered.
"That's the process in elementary school. If you sign up today, you'll start class today."
"I don't even know this...why don't I go back and get my schoolbag now."
"It's actually okay to leave the books at school."
Mei Fang explained, "The desks in junior high school are the kind that have flip covers, you know, the table top can be directly opened, and all the books can be placed inside the desk, so you don't have to carry a schoolbag to and from school."
"That's quite convenient. Why don't primary schools use this kind of desk?"
"Elementary school desks are cheaper, and we didn't have many books back then, so we didn't need them."
Mei Fang gestured to Lin Youxi, "In junior high school, we can stack books this high. We don't have to suffer by carrying school bags back home. We only need to bring homework back."
"I see." Lin Youxi slowly calmed down while chatting with Mei Fang.
Mei Lijun had set out very early today, but the Experimental Middle School was still crowded with people, and there were few parking spaces in the parking lot. Mei Lijun searched for several times before he found a parking space. He got off the car and observed the cars driven by the parents of Mei Fang's future classmates.
"Big Ben, Audi, BMW...Are there so many luxury cars in our county now? See, this is Lao Xia's car. He got here earlier than us."
Although there is no intersection in work and life, the children are familiar with each other after all. Xia Yuan's father Xia Xun and Mei Lijun and Lin Guochuan have met each other several times.
Lin Guochuan asked in confusion, "Come to think of it, what kind of job does Lao Xia do now? I remember that he doesn't seem to be in the catering business anymore."
"Hey, that was a long time ago." Mei Lijun shook his head. "He is mainly doing investment now. He has opened several stores with a few friends, selling tea, flowers, and a chain of fruit stores."
Mei Lijun also sighed, "Come to think of it, he really should thank his daughter Xia Yuan that year. After his restaurant was taken over, the road nearby was under construction and it collapsed within a year. Otherwise, he would have lost a lot of money! Now his business has been built up again. Alas, rich people are lucky. They can make money no matter what they do, unlike us."
"This can be considered as Lao Xia's good vision," Lin Guochuan agreed with a smile, "After all, he has been a boss for so many years, so he has a wide range of experience."
Thinking of the ugly scene of Xia Yuan's father crying in front of his daughter, Mei Fang just smiled and said nothing.
Lin Youxi pulled Mei Fang's clothes and pointed to the area in front of him that was blocked by the crowd.
"There seems to be a class list posted on the bulletin board over there. Let's go take a look."
"Let's go!"
