Chapter 11 — Hao Mon Swap

“Have you seen anything from our school?” Before I could answer, Mrs. Luc interrupted, "Ning Duong, wait for me in the car." The old principal frowned. Luc Thua Da also looked at Mrs. Luc, "Mom, he just helped the Luc family save the situation." Mrs. Luc's voice was tense, "Mom told him to wait in the car." I didn't argue, turned around and walked out. Walking to the front door of the hotel, the old principal chased him out. “Little girl.” I stopped. He took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his chest. “Do you know someone named Tan Truong Thuan?” I looked at him, "I'm familiar." The principal's eyes lit up, "Is that manuscript with you?" I said nothing. He lowered his voice, "Someone wants to buy that manuscript, saying it's to make a promotional sign. Little girl, it's not something to make money, it's a recipe to cook for children. If you have the right to decide, don't sell it." I said: "I won't sell." The old principal breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. That's good." Behind him came Luc Thua Da's voice. “What manuscript?” I turned around. He stood on the hotel steps, for the first time without that arrogant, contemptuous look on his face. “An old cookbook,” I said. “The book that the Lam family wants to buy?” I looked at him. He was silent for a few seconds, "You already knew the list was wrong?" “Um.” “Why didn't you tell me before?” "I told you. You trust Lam Tri Ha again." He was speechless, speechless. Mrs. Luc walked out of the hotel, her voice very deep. “Thua Da, get in the car.” Luc Thua Da looked at me and followed her into the car. In the car, Mrs. Luc did not say a word. Luc Thua Da tried to open his mouth several times, then swallowed the words back. Returning to the Luc family, Mrs. Luc called me into the study. “Ning Duong, you did too much tonight.” I stood in front of my desk, "I corrected the mistake." “You humiliated the Lam family in public.” "Errors were corrected by Lam Tri Ha." Mrs. Luc pressed the invitation card on the table, "The Lam family and the Luc family have cooperated for many years. It's not like you can tear each other's faces apart just because of your right or wrong statement." I said: "So you have to endure the wrong name?" “I'm still young, there's a lot of things I don't understand.” "I understand. The Luc family's reputation is more important than the name of Thanh Ha commune." Mrs. Luc's face became extremely ugly, "Luc Ninh Duong." The door was knocked. Luc Thua Da stood outside the door, "Mom, this was originally Lam Tri Ha's fault." Mrs. Luc looked at him, "I'm going out." “I'm not coming out.” For the first time, he argued with her, "You can't blame Luc Ninh Duong." I was a bit surprised. Mrs. Luc was also surprised, "Thua Da, do you know what you are saying?" “I know.” Luc Thua Da glanced at me, "He warned me before, because you didn't believe it." Mrs. Luc suppressed her anger, "So you also think I'm wrong?" Luc Thua Da did not dare to speak. The study room fell silent. Mrs. Luc sat down tiredly, "Ning Duong, you go back to your room first." I walked out of the study room. Before the door closed, I heard Mrs. Luc say: "Thua Da, stay away from that girl. She knows how to make others feel uncomfortable." Luc Thua Da's voice was very small, "But it's not wrong." This sentence is considered the second crack. A few days later, Lam Tri Ha returned to school. She didn't look for me to cause trouble anymore, but on the contrary, she started showing goodwill towards me. During recess, she placed a box of breakfast on my table. "Ning Duong, the party the other day was my fault. I'm sorry." Hua Vien Vien was immediately alert, "What tricks do you want to play again?" Lam Tri Ha looked at me, "I'm honest. That day I went home and thought for a long time, the name of Thanh Ha commune really shouldn't be changed." I said: “Bring breakfast.” The smile on her face was almost unbearable, "Don't you accept it?" “I don't eat food of unknown origin.” Hua Vien Vien immediately pushed the breakfast box back, "Did you hear it? Take it away." Lam Tri Ha took a deep breath, "Ninh Duong, I've bowed my head, what else do you want?" “I didn't ask you to bow your head.” "Uncle." Luc Thua Da walked in from outside, saw the breakfast box on the table, frowned, "I came to find you again

What does he do? Lam Tri Ha felt sorry for herself, "Thua Da, I just came to apologize." “Sorry, sorry, don't give me food.” She looked at him, as if she didn't know him, "Do you doubt me too?" Luc Thua Da was upset, "I didn't mean that." Hua Vien Vien mumbled, "That's what you meant, don't be a coward." Lam Tri Ha bit her lip, took the breakfast box and left. At the end of school, the training teacher called me into his office. “Luc Ninh Duong, for this city-level selection exam, you and Lam Tri Ha have both registered. The school can only nominate two people, my performance is very solid, the remaining spots will be based on next week's test." I asked: "What about Luc Thua Da?" The teacher turned over the list, "She's also registered." I was stunned. The teacher also smiled, “Her mother registered for me. Did I accompany you there?” “No.” There was a knock outside the door. Luc Thua Da walked in, "Teacher, I filled out the application form incorrectly. Can I withdraw it?"
