The family home of No. 2 Middle School is located at the northernmost end of Jixiang Road, in this long alley, the east is the school wall of No. 2 Middle School, and the west is a lively commercial street, with small restaurants, hair salons, supermarkets and everything, and Wei Chenglin's supermarket is also open here.

Jolene ran quickly through the alley and into the family courtyard of No. 2 Middle School. The Qiao and Wei families live in the same building, the Wei family is on the first floor, and the Qiao family is on the second floor. Jolene stepped up the stairs in twos and knocked on the old-fashioned safety door—in fact, it was an iron door outside the wooden door, which was hollowed out and covered with a screen to allow ventilation in the summer.

Qiao Lin shouted "Wei Chenglin" several times, but no one came to open the door.

"Did you go to Sun Ruiyang's house?"

Jolene was tired and thirsty, so she went upstairs to the house. Qiao's house is very poorly decorated, but there are books everywhere as far as the eye can see, and you can trip over them when you walk. The walls are covered with nails and hung with various items to save space.

Although the TV at home can only receive three or five channels, as long as her mother is not at home, Jolene habitually turns on the TV.

"Huh?"

It's strange that the picture of "The King of Fighters" actually appeared on TV, and the two were fighting fiercely.

The first time this happened, Jolene was almost crying, thinking that the house was haunted. Brother Qiao Nan explained to her that the radio frequency signal emitted by the game console is the same as that of the TV station, and it can be received within a certain distance.

Although Jolene didn't understand what the hell "radio frequency signal" was, as long as it wasn't haunted in the house, she was relieved.

Now there is a game screen on the TV again, which means that someone is playing a game nearby. Since there is no one downstairs, it can only be upstairs. Upstairs is Sun Ruiyang's house, but his sister was born two years ago, and the Sun family bought a big house in a nearby high-end community, and the family moved away. Since then, it has become a secret stronghold for the children of Jixianglu.

Jolene put down the glass, wiped her saliva with the back of her hand, and headed upstairs. There was a string of bells on the stairs leading to the third floor, and she picked it up, and the bells immediately made a "jingling" sound.

The houses in the family building are the most classic two-style and one-hall layout, with an area of only fifty or sixty square meters, but the decoration of the Sun family is far more luxurious than other families.

At that time, most homes were paved with square tiles, but the Sun family was paved with dark red solid wood floors, the TV was facing directly, the back wall was pasted with gold and silver wallpaper, and the bedroom wall was also full of awards, "One Hundred Thousand Whys", "Twenty-four History", and so on were arranged in the bookcase.

A lot of furniture has been moved, leaving only a few bookcases, an old refrigerator and a television. In the center of the living room is a milky white carpet on which two little boys are sitting, devoting themselves to the gamepad, potato chips and drinks set aside.

Wearing black-framed glasses, wearing a plaid shirt, and obviously taller, Sun Ruiyang, a genius learner who knows everything about astronomy and geography, has won numerous awards since he was a child, and is determined to win the Nobel Prize.

Wearing a black T-shirt, skin whiter than a girl, and a body fatter than a panda is Wei Chenglin, who is proficient in all kinds of sassy operations in addition to studying, and is a clever scumbag with full scores but the lowest grades, and is a famous "little ignore". Oh no, people can play the piano, at a young age, but their fingers are very long.

The game console that the two of them play was brought back to him from Japan by Sun Ruiyang's father, Professor Sun, it seems to be called "Nintendo", anyway, Qiao Lin doesn't know it. But I heard male classmates say that if anyone has a Nintendo game console, it is the same as an adult who has a Mercedes-Benz BMW car, which is a very face-saving thing.

Sun Ruiyang was calm and calm, his face was not shocked, but his skills were superior, while Wei Chenglin's face was covered with sweat, and he involuntarily shook his body to the rhythm, his eyes kept flashing, and his mouth was full of words. Just as he was about to turn defeat into victory, he keenly heard the sound of a bell coming from downstairs.

"Brother Ruiyang, someone is here. ”

Sun Ruiyang also heard the sound of the bell, and according to the deployment before the game, he hurriedly took out an ice cube from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel, and put it on the TV. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he put the ice back in the refrigerator, and Wei Chenglin wiped the water off the TV with a dry towel. Try it with your hands, and the temperature of the TV has dropped a lot.

Looking back again, everything in the books is opened, and even the papyrus or something is laid out, as long as they lie there, they are two good teenagers who study hard and make progress every day.

This set of processes was all thought up by Wei Chenglin, including the string of bells at the staircase, which he also placed, and Sun Ruiyang admired it very much.

"Sun Ruiyang!Wei Chenglin! I know you two are inside, open the door quickly!"

As soon as he heard Qiao Lin's voice, Wei Chenglin breathed a sigh of relief: "Bai was nervous. ”

Qiao Lin touched the TV like a little adult, and sure enough, there was still a little residual heat, Sun Ruiyang explained: "We both did the practice problems for an afternoon, and we just played games for a while. ”

"I know you're playing the game, and I saw just now that the red-haired ones are going to win. ”

Sun Ruiyang sighed: "The signal is stringed again..."

Wei Chenglin smiled like a little fool: "Isn't that just a live broadcast of playing games? If someone really broadcasts me playing games, then it would be good!"

Qiao Lin pursed her lips and said, "Stop playing, my dad asked Cheng Lin to come over for dinner." Tonight, my sister-in-law and they have chartered the venue, and they want to watch the ball game at my wonton restaurant, will you all go?"

"If you want to go, you want to go, of course you want to go!" Wei Chenglin said busily.

Sun Ruiyang said: "My dad seems to be going too, anyway, there's nothing to do tonight, let's go and see it together!"

Qiao Lin said very proudly: "A few days ago, the store just turned on the cable TV, and my dad made a lot of delicious food tonight, you can eat it with your belly open, count me as a treat!"

The sunset sank little by little, and a few cherry trees in the family courtyard were erected in the dusk, and the cool sea breeze blew, blowing comfortably.

Sun Ruiyang jumped up, picked a few cherry tree leaves, sprinkled them on Qiao Lin's head, and said mischievously, "Qiao Lin, grass has grown on your head." ”

Wei Chenglin smiled innocently: "Don't bully Sister Linlin!"

He tried to get the leaves off the cherry tree, but he was not as tall as Jolene, and he was too fat to jump at all, so in the end Jolene got the leaves off herself.

"Sun Ruiyang, if you make trouble like this again, be careful that I beat you!"

As soon as Qiao Lin threatened, Sun Ruiyang showed a warm smile and touched her head: "Okay, let's make a joke! ”

The three of them giggled and ran towards the auspicious wonton restaurant, and behind them, the lights of the city's thousands of homes gradually lit up.

It's almost half past seven, and Qiao's wonton restaurant is full of people.

In the crowd, the middle-aged man with a moderate figure, elegant temperament, and wearing the uniform of the Chinese team is Qiao Lin's brother-in-law Song Yizhi, who is a man of the year in the real estate industry in Hong Kong City. It is said that as long as he stomps his feet, the real estate industry in Hong Kong City will tremble.

The person with a thin body, meticulously combed hair, glasses, and a formal suit is Sun Ruiyang's father, Sun Fanxiu, a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Maritime University. Maritime University is one of the few 211 and 985 in the province, and Professor Sun is a well-known mathematician. The port city is very small, and the others are very low-key, just like a reclusive martial arts master.

My sister-in-law and Professor Sun live in the "Xuefu Garden" across the road from the Jixiang Wonton Restaurant, and they are neighbors who go up and down the stairs, and the two are very good friends, and they often come to the Wonton Restaurant to eat and chat with Qiao Jianjun. The people who come here today to watch the football are their friends, successful people, who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, will be particularly obsessed with looking for those little-known but small and elegant small restaurants, "auspicious wonton restaurant" is just their appetite.

Qiao Jianjun made several plates of almost every side dish, and these bosses and professors were full of praise. One of the pot-bellied people asked, "Boss Qiao, I heard Lao Song say that you were also a big hero back then, but I didn't expect to be so good at cooking." ”

Qiao Jianjun smiled heartily: "What a big hero, but I have been a soldier for a few years." My father is a country cook, and I learned it before I knew it. ”

The sister-in-law put his arm around Qiao Jianjun's shoulders and said emotionally: "My eldest brother is not an ordinary soldier, but a hero who fought in the Battle of Langshan. If it weren't for so many things going on at home, he would have been in the army, and now he would at least be a colonel..."

"Yi Zhi, you haven't drunk yet, you're blowing it!" Qiao Jianjun interrupted his brother-in-law's words loudly, and said hurriedly: "The watermelon is still soaked in the bucket, I'll go cut the watermelon first, you guys talk first!"

The little sister-in-law realized that he was a little abrupt, so he said curtly: "Don't be idle, everyone, eat quickly!"

"Here we are!"

With a crisp shout, the three children entered the store. Wei Chenglin subconsciously hid behind Qiao Lin and whispered, "So many people?"

Jolene turned her head and comforted, "Don't be afraid, you sit with me." If you don't want to talk, just concentrate on eating. ”

Wei Chenglin pursed his lips and nodded with a smile. As long as Jolene was there, he was at ease.

Qiao Lin was very proud that so many people came to watch the game at home, and she was also proud that she could invite Sun Ruiyang and Wei Chenglin to eat delicious food. Children want to show off, and the only time Jolene can show off is now.

The three children came, and the atmosphere became more lively. The pot-bellied boss began to tease Jolene: "Why do you like to watch football?"

Qiao Lin's eyes flashed wide, and her voice was crisp: "My dad likes it, my brother will watch it along, I can't compete with him for TV, so I have to watch it together!"

Sun Ruiyang knelt on the chair, held a long conch and sucked it, and interjected: "Qiao Lin not only likes to watch football, she is also a martial arts fan!

Qiao Lin blushed and said: "My Q.Q was applied for by you, and the screen name was given by you, I only told you that I like Guo Xiang!"

The fat uncle was taken aback and asked, "Yo, do you like Guo Nuxia!"

Qiao Linhan laughed twice: "Among the heroines, I like Guo Xiang the most! Actually, my favorite is Ling Hu Chong, he is very bloody, dare to resist!

The fat uncle immediately praised: "Boss Qiao, you are a great girl, you can understand these books at a young age!"

Qiao Jianjun put down the watermelon and said, "Don't say anything else, my three children all love to read, and they are fascinated when they read it." It's just that the eldest all read serious books, the second and third children all read miscellaneous books, especially the third child, what her brother reads, she follows what she reads, and I don't know if she can understand it, probably all of them are swallowing dates. ”

Jolene put down the fries, picked up a book from the small bookcase, and said unconvinced, "I'm not swallowing dates! You see, I wrote them down when I was reading!"

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be "Book of Swords and Enmity", which was full of pinyin with immature strokes, and some annotations of words. Everyone praised a few times, but after all, this was an "idle book" that delayed learning, and they didn't think it was very powerful, and it passed with a perfunctory sentence, and Jolene was very disappointed.

At this time, Professor Sun, who had been silent, leaned next to her ear and said, "Xiao Dongxi, I also like to watch martial arts." If you like it, stick to it, and when you grow up, write better martial arts books, and Uncle Sun will be the first to buy it!

"Hmm!"

After listening to Uncle Sun's words, all Jolene's unhappiness disappeared without a trace, and happily hooked up with him. She likes Uncle Sun's family the most, including his wife Aunt Chen Yun, and his little daughter Baobao, who has just turned two years old, should... Although Sun Ruiyang, like his elder brother, often plays tricks on himself, he is willing to be his own "dog-headed military advisor" and give advice for himself.

"Let's go!"

Qiao Jianjun shouted, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on the TV. Ten minutes later, Carlos of Brazil was about to take a free kick, and everyone held their breath nervously. Jolene prayed silently: "Don't concede the ball so early!"

Carlos flew up, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and their bodies involuntarily straightened, and the ball flew up, and everyone's necks were suddenly pulled up, and suddenly there was a "stab" sound, and the TV screen suddenly turned into a snowflake.

Carlos kicked the TV signal away.

The wonton restaurant fell silent for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

"What's going on?" Qiao Jianjun slapped the TV, his face sweating in a hurry.

"Oh, did that ball go in just now?" everyone scratched their ears and cheeks in a hurry, and a few of them crouched in front of the TV, hoping to cross over from the TV to Seogwipo.

"Alas, it would be nice to be able to watch the game on your mobile phone!"

"Take your phone and look at it, are you dreaming? What do you think of something that is a big slap?"

"Old Joe, it's really not good, let's go home and see it!"

......

As soon as she heard that someone was leaving, Jolene panicked, how faceless she was! She fell on the chair and cried: "Give me the signal to come back!

For a while, the sounds of urging, complaining, crying, and comforting filled this small restaurant, and the dog raised by Lao Dong's family next door barked wildly. A few people were about to pull their legs away, and the sliding door was suddenly opened, and a teenager in a school uniform appeared in front of everyone.

The summer school uniform of No. 2 Middle School is a simple white shirt and black pants, but the shirt is a little transparent, so the teenager wears a white T-shirt underneath. Sweating profusely, he unbuttoned his shirt and stuck his T-shirt to his sturdy chest. His hair was longer than Bancun, and his skin was dark, but his sword eyebrows were like flying, and his big eyes were bright. He was almost 1.9 meters tall, standing at the door, and the wonton restaurant instantly became a little shorter.

"Brother Qiao Nan!"

As soon as Sun Ruiyang and Wei Chenglin saw that the savior was coming, they hurriedly got up and talked about the snowflakes on the TV. Qiao Nan didn't reply, but threw his schoolbag on the chair and took off his shirt. He looked at the TV for a moment and ordered, "Get me a wire." ”

"Iron... Wire?"

"Well, long, preferably one or two meters. ”

Wei Chenglin twisted his chubby body and followed the adults to find the wire, while Sun Ruiyang pulled over the stool and comforted Qiao Lin, who was smoking: "Don't cry, Brother Qiao Nan is here, anything can be solved." ”

Jolene glanced at her brother, tears of despair streaming down her face: "How could he fix the TV?"

As he spoke, Wei Chenglin had already retrieved the wire, and his black T-shirt was soaked. Qiao Nan unplugged the antenna behind the TV and poked the wire into the jack. Qiao Jianjun felt distressed for a while, for fear that his son would break the TV.

Time was flowing, and everyone's eyes were on the boy, but the TV signal had not yet returned. Qiao Nan frowned, adjusted the wire unhurriedly, and instructed Wei Chenglin: "You change to channel 1 and try it." ”

Wei Chenglin did as he said, and the picture of the central station really appeared on the TV, but it was not very clear. Qiao Nan calmly turned the wire a few more times, and the TV picture was finally completely clear.

Qiao Nan asked Wei Chenglin to bring a vase over, carefully put the wire on the vase, and said, "Wired has become wireless, I can only receive two or three units, let's make do with it!"

When it was done, Qiao Lin stopped crying, and those who were clamoring to leave did not leave, and praised Qiao Nan one after another. Qiao Nan was not as calm and confident as just now, and two red clouds flew on his face.

Although Jolene always quarrels with her brother, she has to admit that her brother does have two fights. The elder brother looked at her crying face, and said with a cold face: "Crying for such a trivial matter!

Jolene pouted and didn't speak, her big eyes blinking aggrieved. Sun Ruiyang hurriedly came over and said adoringly: "Brother Qiao Nan, you are so powerful!"

Qiao Nan took a sip of his drink and looked proud: "See, this is the power of communication! In the next few years, communication will inevitably change the world!"

Jolene turned her head to look at the ball and said seemingly casually, "There's wontons in the kitchen, Dad left them for you." ”

Qiao Nan immediately showed joy, took out the bowl of wontons from the back kitchen, and ate it with a sigh. Qiao Lin glanced at her brother's savage eating appearance and couldn't help frowning.

Qiao Jianjun remembered something, and asked coldly: "Today is not the day of the second middle school, don't you go to the evening self-study?"

"Tell the teacher that my sister is sick and has no one to take care of her. Qiao Nan buried his face in the bowl and said vaguely: "Anyway, the teacher knows that my mother has gone to investigate." ”

Jolene instantly raised her face, paving the way for crying out loud.

"Bear thing! skip class to watch the ball, lie and curse your sister!" Qiao Jianjun was angry and slapped his son in the head. If it weren't for the presence of so many people, it is estimated that he would have kicked it directly.

"Look at this!"

Qiao Nan handed over the transcript to his father in a hurry, and when Qiao Jianjun saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "This monthly exam, did you take the first place in the school?"

Qiao Nan didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth were cocked proudly, revealing a confident smile.

Qiao Lin was still angry that her brother had lied just now, and her little fist beckoned: "See if I don't kill you!"

was beaten by his sister, and Qiao Nan was choked all of a sudden. Qiao Jianjun was just about to count them down, and the spectators broke out in exclamation, it turned out that the Brazilian team had scored another goal.

In the crowd, Sun Ruiyang's expression was the most calm: "The Chinese team will definitely lose, it depends on whether it loses decently or not." ”

Qiao Lin "punched" her brother: "It's all your fault! As soon as you make me angry, the Chinese team will lose!"

Qiao Nan was suddenly very aggrieved - what does the Chinese team have to do with losing the ball? ?

Seeing the second half, Qiao Lin's expression was already numb, except for Zhao Junzhe's kick on the goalpost, he was agitated, and he sat still the rest of the time. There is only one thought in my heart, even if it is a goal!

The game was over, everyone dispersed, and Jolene fell asleep on the table. In a daze, it was her brother who carried her home. She lay on her brother's back, and when she caught a glimpse of the rose at the door of Chenglin Supermarket, she was also thanked, and her heart was sad.

She lay on her brother's back and asked, "Brother, where is Seogwipo?"

"On Jeju Island, an island in South Korea. ”

"The climate is similar to here, isn't it?"

“... Well, the latitude of South Korea is about the same as ours here. ”

"It was said in the news just now that the roses in Seogwipo have withered, and the national football team is going home. Thanks for the roses here, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the second middle school. ”

Qiao Nan was dumbfounded again - this kid with a whimsical mind is even more sensitive than he imagined!
