Although Li Likun and Wang Cuiping have little hope for their son, as the college entrance exams approach, they couldn't resist giving Li Yang a call.
Today happened to be a day for pouring concrete, so they could take half a day off.
"Yang, how have you been eating lately? The college entrance exam is coming up, you have to take it seriously..."
Li Likun added, "Write what you can, leave it blank if you can't, if you're sleepy just nap there. The score doesn't matter, just don't wear yourself out..."
On the other end of the line, Li Yang was at a loss for words.
His dad had a knack for sarcasm.
He said, "Mom and dad, I've been studying hard these days. I'll do my best in the exams!"
His words left the previously sarcastic Li Likun speechless.
This kid's changed?
Ever since the second semester of high school started, he hadn't uttered a word about studying hard.
Wang Cuiping also found it incredibly surreal.
