Soon after Qiao Nan returned to the station, one morning, Lao Feng called him: "Qiao Nan, package!"

Hearing his promise, Lao Feng told again: "Call a few more people!"

Qiao Nan didn't take it to heart at all, thinking to himself, Lao Tzu is a special soldier who fights against wood every day, and he still needs others to help move things?

But when he ran out to take a look, he was dumbfounded, there were four big boxes piled up in front of Lao Feng.

A few days ago, my mother called and said that she had sent him some New Year's goods and shared them with his comrades. Qiao Nan repeatedly told them that their food was very good, just send a little, and it would be a waste of money to send too much. Li Lanzhi repeatedly said that she knew, so she hung up the phone. Now, Qiao Nan looked at the four big boxes and muttered, "This is ...... A little?"

Lao Feng cleared his throat and said, "Your parents also sent a box of things to my house and bought two clothes for Lele...... Alas, uncles and aunts are really...... How can I be embarrassed?"

Those who don't know must think that the Qiao family is a local tyrant, and even Qiao Nan doubts whether there is a mine in the family? However, he knows very well that the Qiao family really has no mine, only full of friendship. They are reluctant to throw away even the broken apples, and eat the simplest food, but they are willing to spend a lot of money to send him something.

During the Chinese New Year last year, they also dragged things of about the same weight to the troops to see themselves. How ordinary three people dragged such heavy things for thousands of miles has always been an unsolved mystery in Qiao Nan's mind.

The Qiao family sent those few things, a box of apples, a box of pears, and a box containing the sausages filled at home, grilled shrimp and grilled fish fillets, which are special products of the port city, Qiao Nan shared them with his comrades, and it was enough for them to eat for a while.

The last box contained a black coat, two sets of thermal underwear, and even a bag of underwear and socks, insoles made by my grandmother, knee pads, and hand-knitted gloves, as well as a few simple but beautiful books, and a brand new fountain pen.

After receiving the things, Qiao Nan called her mother first: "You don't have to spend so much money to buy me clothes, I can't wear them...... The lockers are so small, and there are so many clothes, I can't fit them at all. ”

"My son is handsome, I just want to dress up my son, can't I?"

"......" Qiao Nan smiled dumbly and echoed: "Okay, after putting it on, they all said that your son is more handsome." ”

Li Lanzhi laughed with satisfaction, and said: "The last time you went home, grandma said that your hands and feet were not polished, and she wiped her tears when she thought about it. Talking all day long, a good scholar, but he wants to be a martial artist. She's old, her eyes are bad, and it's too hard to do. I won't let her do it, and she's still uncomfortable...... She said, how many years can I do it for you? Alas, your grandma loves the child the most, and it's okay for you to have trouble with us, but you must call grandma often, do you hear?"

"Hmmm......"

"The book and pen were bought by Min Jia, and your sister is also as careful as a hair, she said, Brother Qiao Nan likes to read books the most, and he also writes good articles. She couldn't think of a gift for you, so she bought you a pen and paper, and I don't know if you like it or not. ”

"I like it very much, thank you Min Jia for me. ”

After sending the two girls away, Qiao Nan's life became extraordinarily quiet, quiet and a little lonely. But he never doubted that he was a very lucky man. Especially my mother and grandmother, who are not related by blood at all, but are more considerate than my own children.

and cousin Min Jia, the soft and weak little girl, his favorite sister when he was a child. A glutinous "Brother Nan Nan" will make his heart melt completely. But when she was in danger, he knew nothing. He blamed himself deeply, but Min Jia didn't care at all, she said, Brother Qiao Nan has protected more people, what else is there to blame?

In Qiao Nan's eyes, the sister who grows savagely like a hare, and another arrogant and domineering cousin, is not the same species as Min Jia, the well-behaved and weak Min Jia is like a little angel falling from the sky, she is the sister that all boys crave to have, right?

Qiao Nan still tried to avoid talking to his father, and after receiving something, he just called his mother. Li Lanzhi told her husband, and couldn't help but count down her son: "This kid, won't call you?

Qiao Jianjun found himself under the stairs: "It's not easy for him to call, just call you alone, didn't you tell me?"

Qiao Jianjun doesn't look lonely at all, he is happy every day, especially when his little daughter comes back, and the whole street is lively. Before she came back, he also went to the market to buy jelly beans, popcorn, and sugar gourds, and people thought he was going to buy them for his grandson, so he said excitedly: "No, it's for my daughter! My little girl is in college in Beijing, and now she is coming back from vacation!"

“...... I thought you were going to buy these and go back to coax the kids! People are in college, and they still like to eat these?"

"That's not it!" Qiao Jianjun finished speaking, and happily rode his bicycle away. The daughter came back, the cold sea breeze was gentle, and Old Joe pedaled the bicycle fast, thinking that he was a young man.

When Jolene came home, the house was unrecognizable. Before she went to college, her house was full of books, and she could be knocked over by books when she walked. Last time my brother came home, it took a few days to sort out all the books, and all the textbooks that I didn't use were put in the basement, and the house was much more refreshing. (So Jolene thinks that her brother can not only charge ahead, but also be good at housekeeping, which is simply a must-have at home.) Of course, she just boasted in her heart, don't let her brother know, otherwise he will have to be embarrassed again. ）

After my brother left, my parents replaced the windows, repainted the walls, replaced the scratched floor tiles, and brought back a new sofa, and the whole house was completely new, even Betty's kennel was replaced with a new one. Although a lot of money was spent, the home had never been so comfortable, and the old couple felt that it was worth the money.

What surprised Jolene even more was that there was a cabbage on the balcony, which was full of sugar gourds and yams, with a bright luster and full flesh, and Jolene felt that they were all beckoning to her.

Bao Qing said humbly: "Uncle knows that you are coming back, so I bought it for you in advance." ”

"Haha! My dad is awesome! I'm much happier than Mo Xiaobei!"

(If you don't understand Mo Xiaobei's stalk, there is probably a generation gap...... ）

Li Baoqing lowered his head silently, his expression was rather gloomy. Qiao Lin suddenly understood, she was praising her father for being great, but Baoqing's father was still lying in the hospital. My uncle's situation is getting worse and worse, otherwise he wouldn't still be living in Hong Kong City by now.

My aunt has an old house that is empty, right next to the hospital. If it had been left in the past, my uncle's family would definitely not have lived here in vain, but when it came to a critical moment, my grandmother and aunt lived there, so it was convenient to go to the hospital to take care of them. On weekdays, my aunt also went to work part-time to earn some money to support the family.

In order to facilitate schooling, Baoqing still lives in his aunt's house. Although the eldest aunt and sister-in-law are very good to him and their family, Baoqing has reached a sensitive adolescent period after all, and the feeling of being under the fence always haunts his heart, making him more and more silent.

Qiao Lin plucked two sugar gourds, handed one to Baoqing, and asked, "What about the homework I assigned you before I went to Beijing?

“...... What homework?"

"Get rid of the problem of inhibition!" Jolene pretended to be angry and bit down on a hawthorn: "It seems that you don't take my words to heart at all now!"

In front of his cousin, Bao Qing relaxed: "It's not ......"

"Why don't you eat all of them with so many sugar gourds?"

“...... Isn't this what you were eating when you were a child......?

This is also true, even if the fourth grandmother sends a piece of cake, the grandmother will say, Linlin, wait, wait for Baoqing to come and eat it; the neighbor gives a piece of chocolate, Baoqing is so hungry that she drools, and grandma will also say, wait, wait for your sister to come back and eat it."

Qiao Lin touched Baoqing's head coldly, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of my brother, it's really good!"

As soon as Qiao Lin came back, Baoqing didn't like to talk as much as before, and followed her through the streets, and the rocker could stand up. Baoqing did well in the final exam and won a scholarship of 600 yuan, he bought a little New Year's goods for his aunt's family, and the rest of the money was given to his mother.

When Li Lanzhi saw the things he bought, she couldn't help but laugh and cry: "You are a little child, where did you get the money to buy these things? Even if you have money, you won't pick it!"

"My mom picked ......"

Li Lanzhi saw that the ribs brought by Baoqing were really fresh. She really wanted to say to Baoqing, you are still a child, you don't need to be too sensible like this. But she also felt that this kind of sensibility would become the wealth of his life.

Approaching the end of the year, Hong Kong people who worked abroad have returned to their hometowns, including many second-class students. When she was still in secondary school, Jolene often heard her classmates scolding her mother, and she was very sad. However, when the students who have graduated for many years come to visit her mother, she feels that her mother must be happy, and she has cultivated many excellent students, which makes her even happier.

Li Lanzhi really doesn't want students to carry things, and now the living conditions are much better than before, and there is no shortage of things at all. For a teacher, the arrival of a former disciple is already the best gift.

In her coaching career, Li Lanzhi had many times when she was so angry that she had high blood pressure and was so tired that she vomited blood, but even so, it cannot be denied that teaching is a very meaningful thing. Seeing the scene of her mother having a good conversation with her former students, Jolene thought to herself that it would be good to be a teacher in the future, not only meaningful, but also a lot of sense of accomplishment.

The house is full of things, but Qiao Jianjun is not too excited, his family understands him, it must be because of his son! That kid can't come back for the New Year, even if he doesn't even make a phone call, it's really chilling.

On the day of the New Year, Xiao Liu of the Gangcheng Border Guard came and brought two boxes of sea goods, saying that they were New Year's goods for the Qiao family. Qiao Jianjun even said that he couldn't accept it, and the two pushed and pulled for a long time, and finally Xiao Liu put the box on the ground and said, "This box is mine, and the other box is your son's, okay?"

Qiao Jianjun was slightly stunned, and Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "Your son is the same as me, isn't he a soldier? Don't you often say that seeing me is the same as seeing my son?

Qiao Jianjun couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. Xiao Liu smiled, pulled him aside, and said, "Uncle Qiao, at the New Year reception a few days ago, my old man was really angry. did not name names, but criticized some unhealthy trends, which was enough for those cadres to be depressed for a while. When he called me, he also educated me. Sometimes, it is really difficult for me to understand the thinking of the older generation, who are obviously old enough to take care of themselves, and they still worry about this and that all day long, and they talk about wherever they go, for fear that if they don't care for a day, the army will not be able to function normally. Alas, he is not afraid of others annoying. ”

Qiao Jianjun said again and again, no matter how you say it, you have to thank people, Xiaoliu hurriedly said: "Uncle Qiao, don't do this, if my old man knows that I have received something, he will not drive me out of the house?

Lao Qiao was helpless and said: "Then please tell the old man that my son is still in the army, and he will definitely work hard and become a rising star, and he will not live up to the expectations of the old-timers." ”

Xiao Liumei smiled: "That's good! There is no better gift than this!"
