Qiao Lin told Wei Chenglin very seriously that she had grown up, so don't use words like "cute" to describe her anymore. What adult girl wants others to praise her with "cute"?

"How should that be described?"

Jolene's eyes rolled, looking at the dark sky, and her voice fluttered: "For example, beautiful, glamorous, temperamental......"

"And sexy. ”

……

Taking advantage of Qiao Lin's efforts to find bricks or sticks, Wei Chenglin hurriedly fled, he didn't want to be beaten by her for the New Year.

At night, Qiao Lin hid in the quilt to catch up on the drama, Wei Chenglin played the piano downstairs, she didn't know the tunes he played, and the only thing she could hear was the already popular "Dream Wedding".

Wei Chenglin probably wants to fall in love seriously, right? It's a pity that he can't find a reliable girlfriend now. Friends speculated for a long time and felt that he might fall in love with Min Rou, but Song Minrou had already announced in the circle of friends that she had a boyfriend.

Her boyfriend is a rich N generation in the capital, and he is studying art like her, so the boy looks very temperamental. I heard my aunt say that the boy's family background is very prominent, and if Min Rou marries into such a family, she is quite worried.

Jolene didn't know if she was really worried, or if she was pretending to be worried, but she was actually showing off. However, the two of them are quite compatible, and Min Rou in the photo is also quite happy. Qiao Lin teasingly asked Wei Chenglin, Min Rou talked about her boyfriend, didn't he feel lost?

Wei Chenglin was puzzled: "She is in love, and finally she doesn't have to suppress me at every turn, I am very clean now, how can I be lost?"

Song Minrou did not go home for the Chinese New Year, and spent it in the United States with her classmates. In previous years, my aunt and my brother-in-law had always been proud of their daughter and did not expect her to return to China. But now that they are over 50, they hope that the family can reunite often and live in peace than their daughter.

Min Rou went to the United States to study at the age of seventeen, and by 2015, she had been in the United States for seven years. During the critical period in the formation of her values, the vast majority of her time was spent abroad. The aunt talked to her a few times, and once complained to the eldest sister worriedly: "Min Rou won't just stay in the United States, right? I don't think she has any intention of coming back now." ”

"If you sent her out back then, you should have planned that she wouldn't come back!"

"Although there is an Internet and transportation is convenient, I still don't want her to float abroad alone. But she had been away from home for so long that we couldn't even talk to each other. There are also these relatives in China, she doesn't even want to think about it. It's going to be a problem, but what can I do?"

When Li Lanzhi thinks of Min Rou, she always thinks of the arbor writer who settled in Germany. The family also had a good life in Germany, but they did not take care of their seriously ill parents once, and they did not participate in any of the joys and sorrows of their siblings' lives. Did she regret it? Maybe she did. But it is undeniable that people do live a chic life!

Auntie obviously has such anxieties, she is worried that Min Rou will become more and more indifferent, and she does not even care about the health of her parents. But whenever she talked about this, Min Rou would always interrupt her impatiently: "Mom, you are so worried. If you and Dad are really sick, I can bring you to the United States!"

Come on, not to mention that her idea is too naïve, listen to her, she really wants to stay there.

Jolene's aunt left on the sixth day of the new year, and this time she stayed in her hometown for ten days, and she was satisfied. At that time, there was a small episode, that is, on the second day of junior high school, a person called Qiao's family, claiming to be from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and they wanted to interview Mr. Qiao Mu, but they didn't know if it was feasible.

Lao Qiao discussed this matter with his sister, and Qiao Mu himself was easy to talk and agreed to participate in this interview. But she also wondered, this return to China was completely private, how could there be an official who knew that she had gone home?

The truth soon came out, Xu Na carried two bottles of wine, lowered her head and apologized to the Qiao family, saying that she had caused trouble to Teacher Qiao Mu.

She said that on Chinese New Year's Eve, she had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at her father's house, during which she mentioned meeting with Teacher Qiao Mu. Her father immediately came to his senses and asked, "Is that the arbor teacher who wrote "Starry Plains"?"

"Yes, it's been years since she's returned to her hometown!"

"She's a cultural celebrity in her hometown, so I have to find a chance to meet her!"

Xu Na thought that her father was just talking casually and would not take action, but she didn't expect him to really find someone to interview, or during the Chinese New Year. Although Qiao Mu readily agreed, Xu Na still felt that it disturbed her time to reunite with her family.

"I've been at home for so many days, and I've said everything I need to say, so don't have any psychological burden, and don't give me these gifts. Instead, I would like to thank you for giving me a deeper opportunity to get in touch with my hometown. ”

Xu Na was moved to tears, and even said that Teacher Qiao Mu's words were the best New Year's gift she had ever received. In this regard, two of her good friends expressed unconvinced.

Jolene said, "Isn't her best New Year's gift the latest Apple notebook her stepmom bought her?"

Zhao Linlin said: "Didn't her own mother take her to Thailand for a vacation?"

In their eyes, Xu Na's two families really gave her double care, but Xu Na still spit out four words lightly: "I'm not happy." ”

Well, everyone has their own hardships, and the two Lynns envy her generous material life, but also know that she is an insecure child.

After the interview, it was time for Qiao Mu to embark on the return journey, although the time to get together was not short, but the old Qiao brothers and sisters were still very sad. Especially at the moment of separation, little Joey innocently said, "Uncle, I'll come back next year for the Chinese New Year, it's more interesting here", which made Lao Qiao sad for a while.

They're both old, and they're so far apart, who knows when the next time we'll meet?

After saying goodbye, Lao Qiao sat alone in the store and was sad, and in the evening, the little sister-in-law came to have dinner with him and drank a little wine. The sister-in-law was also worried that Min Rou would settle overseas and never come back, so she didn't know what to do.

Jianyuan (Qiao Mu) said that she was not completely adapted when she came back, after all, Germany is still more developed. In the long run, it's not necessarily a bad thing for them to stay overseas. If you want to stay there, you need more skills. ”

The sister-in-law sighed and said, "I thought so too, but when I'm older, I just hope that she can come back, even if it's not in a city, but at least I don't have to go through a lot of effort to apply for a visa, and I can fly over at any time for something." To be honest, Min Rou has been out for a long time, and she feels that her family affection has faded, and she doesn't seem to think much about me and her mother. If only she could be like Qiao Lu and Wei Chenglin, she would return to China after completing her studies. ”

However, Min Rou's wings have long been stiffened, not that if she comes back, she will be able to come back, and the little brother-in-law who is dominating in Hong Kong City is also helpless about this.

After sending off his sister-in-law, Lao Qiao washed the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the family photos in a daze, and said to himself: "At that time, I should have been tougher, and I shouldn't have let your kid go so far." It's okay now, I can't adjust it back, and I can't help if there's something going on at your house. My eldest grandson doesn't see him a few times a year......"

The more he talked about the resentment, the heavier the resentment, Lao Qiao couldn't help but want to call his son and reprimand him for being ignorant. Fortunately, someone walked in, and Qiao Nan avoided this inexplicable scolding.

The visitor looked to be in his mid-thirties, of medium stature, wearing a well-fitting tweed coat, showing no signs of fat, and his hair was neatly groomed, and he seemed to be a person who attached great importance to his image.

There are so many diners in the wonton restaurant, but only a few can be called "extraordinary", although this person is not very handsome, but he is indeed "extraordinary". Old Qiao wanted to tell him that the store was temporarily closed, but when the words came to his lips, it turned into another sentence: "This gentleman is not a local, right?"

The man smiled: "The boss has a really good eyesight, I came from Beijing and came here to visit relatives." I went out for a walk in the afternoon, and when I heard that this shop was famous, I came here to try it. ”

Lao Qiao was praised and comfortable, and said: "We started business on the eighth day of the first year, and there is really nothing to do now. But there are still some dumplings, if you don't mind, I can give you a bowl. ”

"Then there's Boss Lao!"

From the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day of the new year, the people of Hong Kong City have to eat a lot of dumplings, and Lao Qiao has frozen some of them, so he can take them out and serve them directly. When he brought the dumplings out, the man was looking at the pictures hanging on the wall. As soon as Old Joe came out, he immediately took his gaze back.

"Boss, do you have three children at home?"

"Yes, we are the only ones on the street with three children. ”

The man looked at the photo again and said, "I guess your boy should be in the army, and the eldest daughter is very much like a teacher or a civil servant." Little daughter...... Still in school?"

Lao Qiao gave a thumbs up and said: "This gentleman also has good eyesight, the eldest of my family is indeed a teacher, and he is still a teacher at Peking University! The second is a military school and has been in the army for many years! The third is still studying at Peking University." ”

Now it was the man's turn to give a thumbs up, and he said, "You three children are really promising!"

"Hey, we can't compare with the rich and noble, but in the common people, let's get by!"

The two said a few more words, and the man had already eaten half of the dumplings. The dumplings were delicious, he ate them quickly, but he was very cultured and barely made a sound. When Lao Qiao saw these details, he felt that he was not an ordinary person.

Wait, this person has been looking at it for a long time, and it's still a little familiar?!

After the man finished eating, he took out a hundred yuan, and Lao Qiao forced it into his pocket again, and said: "You have come all the way away, and I haven't made a ready-made entertainment for you, if you have change, just give me three and five yuan, if you don't have it, forget it!"

The man rummaged through his wallet and couldn't find any change. Lao Qiao hasn't gotten a mobile phone payment in the store yet, and he can't transfer money. He looked at his watch and looked embarrassed: "I made an appointment with a friend, I'm almost late, I'll send the money another day, okay?"

"Okay, I didn't have much money in the first place, it's fine. ”

The man was very reluctant and said, "If I don't have time to come, I'll give you a gift." ”

"You're really welcome...... Old Qiao looked at him carefully again and said, "You...... Have I seen you before?"

The man was stunned for a moment, glanced at the photo on the wall again, and said with a smile: "Maybe, you have already seen me!"
