The fifth night of the new year was Qiao Nan's last night at home, and he had to take the train back to school the next morning. Xu Wei said that he would see him off and let Qiao's family go to the station together.

Grandma was reluctant to give up her grandson, but she had to go back to the countryside to take care of her son, so she could only say goodbye with tears. Qiao Nan's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he couldn't send it too far. Seeing her grandmother's figure disappear into the sunset, Qiao Nan rubbed her face, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart.

That night, all four members of the Qiao family returned to their homes in the family home, and they were destined to have no sleep all night anyway, and Qiao Jianjun didn't have to worry about whether his wife could fall asleep. The husband and wife lay together after a long absence, and discussed Qiao Nan's lifelong events with heavy hearts.

"Qiao Nan slept?" asked Li Lanzhi vigilantly.

Qiao Jianjun tiptoed around to reconnoitre, saw his son curled up on the sofa, and heard him make an even breathing sound, Qiao Jianjun made a gesture and said softly: "Asleep." ”

Li Lanzhi said: "I can't figure out how he could get together with Xue Dongmei." Xue Dongmei's child is very ruthless, so ruthless that I can't even imagine that she will fall in love; what about our son, he is a piece of wood, in addition to studying, he is thinking about how to play in his head, when did he ever think about girls? It's really incomprehensible!"

"The children have grown up, where can we guess their thoughts? As long as he is talking about a good girl, don't do anything sorry for others, I have no other requirements. ”

Li Lanzhi recalled: "When I first met Xue Dongmei, she was still in her third year of junior high school. I went to their township to investigate, and although she only went to junior high school in the town, she was able to take the first place in the county's joint entrance examination. I asked her if she wanted to go to No. 2 Middle School, she said yes, she dreamed of it, but her mother didn't want her to continue studying, so she went to work in the south after finishing junior high school. ”

"I thought it would be a shame if this kid didn't go to school. So after I reported to Lao Xu and them, the school decided to waive all her tuition fees and give her a subsidy of 200 yuan per month. After fighting for this, I went to her house and did her parents' work. Her village is not poor, and perhaps because of this, her family looks particularly despair. There is only one main house and two side rooms in the house, and there is no floor in the house, which is a mud floor. Xue Dongmei's mother, forget it, don't mention it, at first glance, it's the kind of lazy one - that kind of big mother-in-law. After I talked to her, she also asked me if the 200 yuan could be given to her, because Xue Dongmei was still young, and she was worried that the child would spend money indiscriminately. ”

"At that time, I was so angry that I said that the money was a subsidy from the school to the students, not to the family. Her mother was not happy, and kept saying that her daughter was so old that she couldn't earn money for the family, and she didn't think about how to support her younger brother, so what was the use of asking her? I was so angry with her attitude that I didn't know how to refute her. Fortunately, Xue Dongmei came back from outside, and she said to me, teacher, I can make my own decisions, thank you, no matter what difficulties there are, I will report to the No. 2 Middle School. ”

"After listening to Xue Dongmei's statement, I was relieved. I told her to communicate more with her parents and get their support. After telling her that, I left. While I was waiting for the bus at the entrance of the village, Xue Dongmei suddenly ran over, handed me a plastic bag, said 'thank you' and ran away. ”

"When I opened it, it turned out to be a bag of fruit, not in good condition, and it should have been picked from my own field. I couldn't express the feeling in my heart at that time. This child obviously has nothing, but she has a little something, and she will want to share it with others and give back to the people who helped her, which is rare. ”

Qiao Jianjun listened quietly and said, "In this way, Qiao Nan really didn't choose the wrong one, this girl will hurt people." Qiao Nan has a temperament like me, no matter what happens, I don't tell my family, in the future, there is a girl by his side who knows cold and hot, and he can talk to her about anything on his mind, which is good. ”

"That being said, Dongmei's child is indeed very good, but growing up in that kind of family environment, she is still a little flawed in her heart, otherwise she would not have been isolated by her classmates for three years in high school. You don't understand my mother's heart, I always think our son should find a better one. ”

Qiao Jianjun said: "Don't worry about it, I think this girl is good." Your son is flawless? Is it really so perfect, and can still lead others to play games? No one is perfect, isn't it just that the two of them are running in with each other!"

"Heh, after so many years, you still have to grow! The theoretical level has improved well, Comrade Qiao Jianjun. ”

Qiao Jianjun also had a rare sweetness, and said, "Isn't this all about the high level of leadership of Madame?"

The two laughed for a while, and Li Lanzhi said again: "Actually, what I'm worried about is not Xue Dongmei, but her family. ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what about you and me, what are you afraid of?"

After listening to her husband's words, Li Lanzhi was indeed a lot relieved. The old man and wife talked for a while, and did not fall asleep until dawn.

Xu Wei came to Qiao's house early in the morning and had breakfast with Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan tried to act as relaxed as possible, because he knew that the more he talked, the more uncomfortable they would become.

Qiao Lin insisted on going to the station to see her brother, but Xu Wei said embarrassedly, with Qiao's parents and Qiao Nan, there were no more empty seats on the car. Jolene counted on her fingers and shouted, "You lie, there are five people in your car, and now it's only four." ”

Xu Wei said in a low voice: "I'll have to bring his girlfriend later." ”

Jolene wilted all of a sudden, and realized more deeply that there was no place for her brother from now on.

He bought himself MP3 yesterday, and he was still the best brother in his mouth, and in a blink of an eye, he became someone else's boyfriend.

Jolene could only look up to the sky and shout: It's not fair!!

Xue Dongmei was waiting for them at a certain intersection, and after she got into the car, she sat next to Li Lanzhi. The teachers and students met again, but the scene was a little awkward. After a while, Li Lanzhi smiled and resolved the embarrassment: "You say, I don't even know how to talk to you now." ”

Xue Dongmei said shyly: "It's okay, I still call you Teacher Li, just call me Dongmei." ”

Qiao Nan sat at the front, smiling like a stupid son of a landlord. Xu Wei glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh, love is so good, even if he smirks, he looks extremely happy.

When they arrived at the station, the Qiao family and his wife went to buy some food for Qiao Nan, Xu Wei found a place to park, and Qiao Nan and Xue Dongmei were left together. Xue Dongmei naturally helped him count his luggage and helped him sort out his clothes.

Qiao Nan was so happy that she didn't know what to do, took out a radio from the pocket of her down jacket, and said, "It should have been given to you, but I forgot it." ”

Xue Dongmei fumbled with the radio and asked, "Why did you send me this?" ”

"This one is unique because it's what I did. Qiao Nan said proudly.

"You, you can make a radio?"

"It's just final homework, and we all have to do it in our class. Qiao Nan explained: "However, the radios made by others are ugly, I analyzed the welding diagram of the radio, and found a discarded CD in the electronic equipment library, I used its shell to make the shell of the radio, sawed off part of it according to the size of the motherboard, and then beautified the shell." The magnetic rod was also moved, a small power switch was added, and a mobile phone lithium battery was attached to the battery. Look, this is my slim rechargeable radio. How's that, awesome?"

！@#￥%……

For Xue Dongmei, what Qiao Nan said was tantamount to a bunch of garbled symbols, but she couldn't put it down with the radio and praised: "It's amazing!"

"Put it away, and when you think of me at night, you can use it to listen to the radio and let it tell you stories for me. ”

Xue Dongmei hid it carefully and smiled sweetly, like a spring breeze.

The Qiao family and his wife bought good things and went to the hall to send Qiao Nan. Li Lanzhi was afraid of tears, so she didn't talk to her son much, so she took Xue Dongmei's hand and whispered. Qiao Jianjun had a lot of things to say, but when it came to his mouth, it all turned into advice.

"When you get to school, behave well, don't worry about home. Don't play anymore, you have a lot of burden, you have to be good at everything. ”

"Hmm!"

"Go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time and don't leave sequelae. ”

"Got it. ”

"The girl is a top student at Tsinghua University, and she is so considerate to you, you have to treat others well. Be humble in everything, and then don't do things that are sorry for others. At all times, we must take on the responsibility of a man. ”

Although his father said it very tactfully, Qiao Nan completely understood, and he nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, I know everything." ”

Qiao Jianjun kept taking a deep breath and said, "I know that the road to being a soldier is very hard, and I didn't want you to go." But you still walked on, and you walked well. At that time, I left a lot of regrets, and I knew what it was like to be 'ambitious and unrewarded'. Comrade Qiao Nan, don't repeat the mistakes that asked me, do a good job, and strive to surpass you one day. ”

Qiao Nan also had a thousand words, and he said emotionally: "Comrade veteran, please rest assured. I have always kept your teachings in mind, so rest assured that you can put all the burden on me!"

"Let's go in, it's time to check the tickets. ”

Qiao Jianjun patted his son's shoulder, his nose was sore, and he hurriedly turned around. Although Qiao Nan's legs and feet were not good, he passed the security check smoothly. He waved at his father and motioned for him to go back.

Qiao Jianjun was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, so he hurriedly left.

"Dad!"

Suddenly, a crisp and powerful shout passed through the sea of people and clearly reached Qiao Jianjun's ears. He turned around and immediately saw his son in the crowd.

The young man was tall and handsome, with a confident and passionate smile on his face. Bathed in the most brilliant morning light, he slowly but firmly raised his right hand to his father, who was getting older, and gave his father a very standard military salute.
