Chapter 063: The Return (I)
The plane landed with a roar, and the moment it made contact with the ground, there was a big impact. This impact made Qiao Lu, who closed her eyes and recuperate, open her eyes, and looked at the scenery outside the window, she understood that she was back in her hometown again.
Gangcheng Airport was originally a military airport, but after it was converted to a civilian airport, the scale was not large, and the facilities were very simple. Compared with the magnificent San Francisco Airport and Beijing Capital Airport, it looks shabby and dilapidated. However, in Qiao Lu's opinion, no airport is more intimate than it.
As soon as she walked out of the customs, she saw Xu Wei holding a sign, and her parents following her. Xu Wei's sign is very high-profile, with the words "Welcome to the hometown of chemist Ms. Qiao Lu".
It's just that the brand is high-profile, and Xu Wei smiled like a fool at the entrance of the village, and he couldn't close his mouth with "hehe", which attracted the sideways of passers-by.
After Qiao Lu hugged her parents, she taught Xu Weilai a lesson: "Where am I a chemist?
Xu Wei pointed to the top of the sign, and Qiao Lu saw that there was a small additional symbol above the "chemist", which said "future". Therefore, they are the "chemists of the future". However, the words in the added symbol are too small for ordinary people to care about at all.
Qiao Lu was amused by his cleverness and naughtiness: "But I'm not a lady either!I'm a student, you want to call me Qiao Lu!"
Xu Wei thought about it, yes, as soon as he shouted "ma'am", he called Qiao Lu old! He felt that he had made a big mistake, and he immediately became a little sheep.
"Okay, you worked so hard to pick me up, I thank you too late, can you blame you for this little thing?
Qiao Lu smiled sweetly, and Xu Wei was in a trance-she was still the young lady in her impression, she was silent most of the time, but she had the gentlest smile in the world. As soon as she smiled, the whole world brightened.
"Huh, why didn't Linlin come?" Qiao Lu thought at first that her sister had gone to hide, so that she could surprise herself while she wasn't paying attention. I didn't expect to turn around and didn't see her, so I realized that she really didn't come to the airport.
"Jolene fell for the evil and swore that she would be in the top five of the class in this exam, and I asked her to skip two self-study periods, and she didn't do it. In the past, although she worked hard, she was never so ambitious as she is now. I wondered, what is she crazy about? Later, Qiao Nan said that she leaked her mouth, saying that as long as she was admitted to the top five in the class, she would pay for the two of you sisters to go to Shacheng to see him. Li Lanzhi said as she spoke, then shook her head with a smile: "Qiao Nan is really good, she has been able to make some strange moves since she was a child, and she coaxed Qiao Lin around." ”
Qiao Lu affectionately held her mother's arm and said, "Qiao Nan also told me, I told him, and I will bear all the expenses of going to see him." Now that he is in love, he not only has to support his girlfriend alone, but may also have to feed them in a dormitory. He has such a small allowance a month, where can he have any money left? It is estimated that Qiao Nan did not tell Linlin, saying that I will spend money when I go out this time. It's okay to let Jolene go crazy and see how much potential she really has. ”
The family talked and laughed, waiting for Xu Wei to drive the car over. This time, Xu Wei did not drive his mother's car, but drove his own car. Qiao Lu doesn't know much about cars, and it should be Mazda when he looks at the license plate. She didn't ask, Xu Wei introduced: "I bought it with a loan, and I just picked up the car last month." ”
Sitting in the car, Qiao Jianjun said with some admiration: "Xu Wei has really grown up, he is very business-minded, he is still a student, and he makes more money than me!"
Qiao Lu said: "Yes, I have heard about the deeds of Boss Xu in the United States, and he has opened several stores in Haida, and he is a well-known entrepreneurial model in the whole school!"
Xu Wei was embarrassed to be praised, and said with a red face: "Where is it...... There's still a lot of room for improvement. ”
Qiao Jianjun said with a smile: "Xu Wei is amazing! Lulu is in the United States, and I have heard about your deeds!"
Qiao Lu's mind turned quickly, and she immediately knew that her father was talking in disguise. So, she replied very wittily: "Xu Wei is quite low-key, those are what Qiao Nan told me." ”
"Yo, it's weird, when Qiao Nan called, he didn't even talk to his family, he still kissed his sister, and even Xu Wei said these things. ”
Qiao Jianjun seemed to be a calm and breezy few words, but he showed the good qualities of a scout, which made Qiao Lu unable to defend himself, so he had to defend with silence. Qiao Jianjun didn't press every step, but pointed to the building outside the window and said to his daughter: "You have been gone for a year, and the port city has changed a lot." You see, these places in Shijiatun have also been developed, and it is said that they want to build a high-tech zone. ”
Outside, there are construction sites, although it is close to the scorching heat, but every construction site is in full swing. Qiao Lu looked all the way and saw that there were signs of "Yongfeng Real Estate" in several places, and couldn't help but sigh: "My sister-in-law's career is really getting bigger and bigger." ”
Last month, she said that Min Rou was sure to go to the middle school attached to the Central Conservatory of Music, and your aunt bought a house near her school, which is the third house in Beijing, and she really has the ability!" Li Lanzhi's eyes were flat, and she did not reveal any envy.
Qiao Lu is not envious, she always feels that the things pursued by her family and her aunt's family are different. Maybe it's because my aunt's family has been promoted to the upper class, and my family is still trying to be well-off, and I can't catch up if I want to!
However, to Qiao Lu's surprise, in the blink of an eye, Auntie's two twin daughters were going to high school! More than ten years ago, Auntie gave birth to a pair of twins, and she was at a low point in her life at that time.
At that time, no matter where the aunt went, her eyes were hanging on her forehead, although she didn't deliberately show off, she always inadvertently revealed the momentum of "seeing that the old lady gave birth to two at once, you incompetent women, don't worship quickly".
In the long journey of studying, Qiao Lu has seen many twins, but there has never been a family like Auntie, because of the birth of twins, the sense of superiority can spread to the whole universe.
Qiao Lu recalled for a while and asked, "Min Rou continues to learn piano, what about Min Jia?" I remember that she was not admitted to Beiwu High School in junior high school, and will she continue to take the exam in high school?"
Li Lanzhi sneered: "What kind of exam? Min Jia doesn't like to learn dance at all, and your aunt is afraid that she will be embarrassed, so she will spend three years in Beijing." This time, Min Jia went on a hunger strike and didn't want to stay in Beijing, your brother-in-law felt sorry for her, took her back, and let her go to the second middle school as a special student. Although her dancing skills are okay, her grades in cultural classes are too poor, and she doesn't want to accept them at all. But your sister Min Jia has a personality like her father, and she is kind and polite, and I really want to help her. For her, I have been busy for a while, and your brother-in-law has paid a sum of money, and finally helped her get the identity of a special student. Since September, she has been attending No. 2 Middle School. ”
"Min Jia has been close to Linlin since she was a child, and it is good for her to come back to school, and she takes care of each other. After Qiao Lu finished speaking, she thought in her mind - she hadn't seen Min Rou and Min Jia for a long time, and she might not be able to recognize them when she walked on the street!
"Time flies so fast, it seems like it was yesterday when you went to high school, in the blink of an eye, Qiao Nan is about to graduate from college, Qiao Lin is about to enter the second year of high school, and even Cheng Lin and Min Jia are going to high school. Li Lanzhi rubbed her face: "The years are urging people to get old!"
Xu Wei turned around and said with relief: "Teacher Li, today is the day when Sister Qiao Lu goes home, don't be so sad!"
"Okay, don't be sad, go home and have a big meal!"
Qiao Lu's trip was from San Francisco to Beijing, and then from Beijing to Hong Kong City. When I got home, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was dinner time. Jolene came home after class and helped her grandmother cook.
Grandma came to Gangcheng in the morning, and the family picked a lot of apricots, she sold some of them, and deliberately kept the freshest ones for her two daughters in Gangcheng. I heard that Qiao Lu was on today's plane, so she came today.
Originally, Li Lanzhi wanted her to go to the airport to have a look, but the old man said that she was so sick from motion sickness that it was better to prepare meals at home. So, Li Lanzhi didn't tell her eldest daughter the news that her grandmother was at home, just to surprise her.
Sure enough, when Qiao Lu saw her grandmother come out to greet her, she immediately stayed where she was. Then he rushed over, hugged his grandmother, and tears burst the embankment at once.
"Come, let grandma see, thin or not?" Grandma burst into tears, rubbing her granddaughter's face with her rough hands.
Qiao Lu forced a smile, held her grandmother's hand, and said, "Grandma, Americans have a lot of food, and I can't eat every time I am given, how can I lose weight?"
"It's good if you're not thin! Don't you know, wow, as long as the children leave home, what I'm most worried about is that you won't be able to eat! If you can eat enough, grandma won't worry!"
Qiao Lu blinked, and didn't hold back her tears: "But why do I think that grandma has lost weight?"
Grandma didn't want her sad mood to continue to spread, so she took her hand and walked into the store, saying as she walked: "Grandma is losing weight? That's old! When people get old, they look unenergetic, and they look like they've lost weight!"
Qiao Lu gently covered her grandmother's mouth: "Grandma, you are not allowed to say the word 'old'." You, Shou Bi Nanshan, you have to live for a long, long time!"
Grandma was amused, patted Qiao Lu, and said, "I'm still cooking in this pot, you take a breath first, drink some water, and eat together later!"
"Good!"
Jolene was like a little monkey, jumping up and down for a long time. But grandma and sister are so close, she can't bear to disturb her. As soon as Grandma let go, she immediately jumped on top of her sister and hugged a big tree like a monkey.
"You're going to strangle me!" Although Qiao Lu said so, she still indulged in her sister's intimacy.
Xu Wei moved all Qiao Lu's luggage in, grabbed Qiao Lin, and scolded: "Sister Lu is almost exhausted, you are still lying on her, how can you bear it?"
Qiao Lin stuck out her tongue at Xu Wei and said with her lips, "You forgot that I reported to you", but she glanced at her parents beside her, for fear of revealing her stuffing, and stopped worrying about Xu Wei.
After returning home, Qiao Lu felt a deep sense of tiredness, but the joy of seeing her family was enough to offset everything. She sat against the wall, and her sister sat next to her, and she didn't speak, just laughed stupidly.
Qiao Lu couldn't help laughing: "Look at you, it's the same as a little pug!"
"Wang!" Qiao Lin didn't care, and learned to bark twice with a grin, which made Qiao Lu laugh until her stomach hurt.
However, Li Lanzhi's words soon broke this quiet beauty, she frowned and said: "Your aunt said that she would come over to pick you up and wash the dust, and she also took Min Rou and Min Jia with her, saying that she wanted to learn from you!"
After that, Li Lanzhi also felt a headache, and said to herself: "I've been touched many times, what kind of fun is she coming over again?"
