Chapter 503: Ten Years
At the end of the year, Wei Chenglin became more active. A long time ago, Qiao Jianjun had to pay special attention to see Wei Chenglin's program on TV. It's good now, just turn on the TV and it's easy to see him.
In 2016, Wei Chenglin changed his long hair style, he dyed his hair silver-purple, and braided two twisted braids from the back of his head, which were hidden in the hair, like the comeback of the funeral family. No matter what era you look at, it's ...... It's not pretty.
If Qiao Lin didn't watch the news, she probably wouldn't know that Wei Chenglin's weird style, especially the two small braids, was actually a tribute to the NBA star he liked at the time. Despite accepting incompetence, Jolene doesn't dislike him that much.
Except for Sun Jiaoyang's brainless blowing, everyone else wanted him to change stylists as soon as possible. Those who are old like Qiao Jianjun can't accept this kind of style. The uncles and uncles were disgusted, and without exception, they "tsk" a few times, and even said that this "most famous person in Hong Kong City" had learned badly, and his singing expression was indescribable, either like a toothache or like constipation.
Lao Qiao soaked his feet at home, and he could also see Wei Chenglin on TV. He said to his little grandson earnestly, "Little Commander, can't you learn from your uncle in the future! Look at what kind of dress these are, like an alien." ”
Li Lanzhi was much more tolerant: "Don't just look at the surface, do you know? A few days ago, Wei Chenglin donated another 200,000 yuan to the second middle school. ”
“…… Really?!"
"He donates every year, and this year he donations a little more. Li Lanzhi sighed, "Who would have thought that so many people scolded him for not being able to support the wall in the mud, and now he is the most well-known alumnus in the second." The most important thing is that this child is grateful and donates money to the No. 2 Middle School and the Welfare Home every year. ”
In this way, watching Wei Chenglin on TV again, the strange young man suddenly became cute. Lao Qiao told the little grandson again, "Commander, we won't learn to dress up, this uncle has a good character, and it is still worth learning from us." ”
The commander was holding the bottle, and his eyes were very confused - did Grandpa drink too much?
Wei Chenglin was so busy that his mother had to close the store and go to Beijing to take care of his life. She left several months ago, and although the sign of "Chenglin Supermarket" is still there, it is not known when it will reopen.
Before she left, she greeted her neighbors. She said that she couldn't leave Hong Kong City, so she wouldn't close the "Chenglin Supermarket". When Wei Chenglin got married one day, she returned to her hometown, continued to open this small shop, and continued to chat and play cards with her neighbors.
Having said that, everyone understands in their hearts that his son is so promising and a filial child, he will not let his mother come back. Therefore, in 2015, the owner of Lao Dong's barber shop left, and the owner of Chenglin Supermarket went to his son, and there were two more familiar faces missing, and the "old auspicious" people were quite unhappy.
Another year's Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, and Qiao Jianjun closed the store early and returned to his hometown alone to worship. After returning from his hometown, he was always depressed, and only when he brought his grandson could he show a smiling face.
Li Lanzhi wondered very much, was there something wrong with her hometown, or was Comrade Lao Qiao lamenting that time was fleeting? On the night he returned from his hometown, he invited a few old workers to eat hot pot in the store, and it snowed heavily while eating.
Old Joe drank too much and fell on the way home. If it hadn't been seen by the neighbors, the consequences would have been unimaginable. When he got home, he was in a trance

Suddenly, there are still several places on his body that have broken skin. Li Lanzhi reprimanded him while smearing him with iodine wine. At such an age, he is getting less and less pointed, and if he drinks like this, no one knows when he freezes to death on the street.
Old Qiao grinned, ignoring his wife's nagging, and just told his little grandson, "Commander, you are not allowed to sue your father again! Grandpa didn't wrestle!"
The little commander let out a soft "um" and blew into his grandfather's face. In his thinking, as long as he "whirred", the wound will not hurt!
Old Joe was once again warmed by his grandson, "It's still your little guy who makes people hurt! Like your mother, like your little aunt! If your father was half as clever as you, you wouldn't have to be beaten so much!"
Look, grandpa still doesn't leave dad in three sentences. Even though he never said a word, he missed his dad a lot.
That year, before Lao Dong left, he specially told Qiao Jianjun that everyone could go back to their homes for the New Year this year, and there was no need to worry about him, a lonely old man. Lao Qiao said that he thought too much, but he didn't feel it in his heart - although no one said that it was for Lao Dong to get together for the New Year, but in fact, he understood everything in his heart, and he had always owed this group of neighbors a favor in his heart.
It's good to go back to your own house for the New Year, at least you don't have to cook so many dishes, and you don't have to be so tired. But what about the excitement? It's long gone. The son and daughter-in-law will definitely not come back, and the eldest daughter is married again and can't come back for the reunion dinner. There are more and more families, but there are fewer and fewer people who can accompany themselves for the New Year.
The two daughters are still very caring, and they have long let them go to the capital for the New Year. Lao Qiao didn't want to go, he had his own home, why did he go to Liang's house to join in the fun? Qiao Lu said that this was not only her own intention, but also the invitation of her in-laws.
"Also, Dad, you should think about Jolene too! She prepares for the exam, and she revises day and night, don't let her toss back and forth. ”
The eldest daughter persuaded her a few times, and Lao Qiao was also a little shaken. But he is worried about his daughter-in-law from afar, they went to Beijing for a reunion, is she alone for the Spring Festival?
Qiao Lu has already made arrangements, Wen Jing has been pregnant for more than five months, and she is already very stable. She invited Wen Jing to celebrate the New Year with her a long time ago, and she said more than once that what Qiao Nan couldn't do, we would do it for him.
Still, it's risky to let her go out alone. Qiao Lu told her family not to worry, Liang Zheng was able to find a colleague and escort her all the way to Beijing.
For the sake of family reunion, the daughter and son-in-law worked hard and made the most careful arrangements, and the old couple had to obey their fate. If you want to go to an "outsider's" house for the New Year, it still makes people feel pimples. But Old Joe thought to himself, at least the little commander could see his mother, and the little one would be happy.
Knowing that his girlfriend's family was going to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, Sun Ruiyang was wilting and lacking his spirit. Compared with the excitement of the New Year when I was a child, the New Year is really too lonely now. Qiao Lin comforted him, as long as he could celebrate the New Year peacefully, it would be the greatest happiness of the family, and as for whether it was interesting or not, there was no need to care.
For the Qiao family, the word "peace" is particularly precious, and Sun Ruiyang understands it very well. In fact, he also wanted to have a peaceful year, but he always pressed a stone in his heart, and he couldn't be safe.
His dissertation was revised and not yet fully approved. He knew very well that it must be that Director Guan who wanted to drag him. If you want to pass, you don't know what price you will have to pay. Approaching the winter vacation, Sun Ruiyang has been anxious about this matter, but he didn't say a word in front of his girlfriend.
If his girlfriend could go home with him, he would still feel it
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But his girlfriend wants to stay in Beijing for the New Year, and he suddenly feels that his hometown has nothing to look forward to. He held his girlfriend's hand and said, "Next year, next year will definitely let you go to my house for the New Year." ”
"Okay, you graduate first. ”
"After the New Year, Min Rou will be engaged, and the girls in your family will be left with you. But don't worry, I won't let you marry last. ”
Jolene didn't refute, just pursed her lips and smiled. As long as he thought of this goal, Sun Ruiyang was full of strength, no matter what demons and monsters were in front of him, he had the confidence to fight with them.
The sadness of parting with her boyfriend was soon diluted by the reunion of her family. Qiao Lin and her sister took her sister-in-law home, and Wen Jing quietly told them that the little commander was going to have a little sister.
This was told to her by Su Xue's friend, and it was almost 100% certain. Now it's okay, Qiao Nan is about to have both children and daughters. Wen Jing said that no wonder this child is so well-behaved, and almost did not let his mother suffer anything. is not like the little commander, who makes a lot of trouble in her stomach every day and tortures her enough.
In fact, Wen Jing wanted to go back to Beijing a long time ago, and as soon as she rested, she took her son back to her long-lost home. She told her son that this was the place where his grandfather had lived, and that his parents had lived here until the little commander was full moon.
The little commander had never met his grandfather and grandfather, and he didn't know who they were, but as soon as his mother shed tears, he was saddened. He pointed to the wedding photo on the wall, diverting his mother's attention, "Mom, Dad!"
In that photo, Qiao Nan wore a black suit very rarely, which was very different from his usual dressing style, but the little commander still recognized his father at a glance. Wen Jing still has a photo of him from a long time ago in her mobile phone, she flipped out a group photo and asked, "Which one is Dad?"
The little commander looked at it for a while, and soon pointed it out accurately. His father was in his early twenties at the time, and he hadn't graduated from college for a long time, and he didn't know what training he was in, so he was covered in mud and had a dirty face. He stared at the camera, his eyes blazing, and there was a hint of a smile on his lips.
On the night of insomnia, Wen Jing took out old photos to see, and the more she looked at them, the more she missed them. It is also strange to say that a person who is accustomed to "obedience" can have such unruly eyes. When she was young, she thought that she could live a lifetime by looking at that face, but in the end, she was so caught up in his character and talent that she missed him all day long.
The little commander is very sensible, he doesn't mention his father in front of the adults anymore, and most of the time he chases and fights with the little bell. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very lively, and the whole family was happy, but Old Joe was still not happy, and was silently busy in the kitchen. Qiao Lu discussed with her mother in a low voice - probably because Comrade Qiao still felt that this was not his home, and he was very uncomfortable!
That night, Old Joe and his son-in-law drank wine brought from their hometown, and drank too much without paying attention. Everyone was noisily waiting for the arrival of the New Year, but they didn't notice that Old Joe was gone. Finally, Li Lanzhi found him on the second floor, where he was standing on the balcony, watching the fireworks in the distance. He said he was sobering up, but Li Lanzhi heard his trembling voice. After repeated questioning, Lao Qiao finally told the truth.
"Our son, I haven't been home for the New Year for ten years. ”
Everyone else is used to his departure, and even feels that there is nothing in his absence.
But his father has never been used to it, even after ten years.
