In May 2006, Jixiang Road was frequently reported, first Sun Ruiyang ranked first in the province in the preliminaries of the Olympiad, and then the second middle school won the first place in the city's middle school students' aerobics competition, and will participate in the provincial finals during the summer vacation.

Qiao Lin excitedly called her brother to report her results, and happily went to heaven: "Teacher Meng said that our scores are very high, maybe we can rush out of the provincial capital and participate in the national competition!"

Qiao Nan was also taken aback: "The aerobics team of the second middle school is so powerful? Why didn't I see it when I was in the second middle school? I only saw a bunch of nerds who were not diligent!"

"Because of my presence! After I joined, the aerobics team of No. 2 High School became more and more powerful!" said Jolene triumphantly.

"Yo, you haven't even gone to the province to compete, and your tail is up to the sky? This comrade, you have to guard against arrogance and rashness!"

Qiao Lin frowned: "Brother, the tone of your voice is different from before. ”

Qiao Nan was just about to blurt out "How is Lao Tzu different", but after thinking about it, he still took "Lao Tzu" away and said: "Where can it not change? It's good if I don't swear with you." ”

Qiao Lin's brows furrowed even deeper, she couldn't understand why her brother was obviously a soldier, why was his "ruffianism" getting heavier and heavier?

She sidestepped the topic and said, "My sister said that her final exams will be over in mid-June. She spent two semesters in the U.S. and will be able to return home this summer. Do you want to come back?"

Faced with his family's inquiries about the return date, Qiao Nan was always helpless: "I may have to go to an internship this summer, and I can go home enough." ”

Qiao Lin suddenly became very unhappy, Qiao Nan had an idea, and said, "Then you can come to see me with your sister, and I will reimburse you for all the expenses back and forth." ”

"Yes, yes!" Jolene began to jump high at the thought of being able to go far away.

"However, you have to be in the top five of your class, otherwise you will have to pay for your own tickets and accommodation. ”

Jolene couldn't jump up all of a sudden.

Qiao Nan laughed proudly: "Teasing you, little fool, stupid!"

The brother and sister teased for a while, and the phone was taken away by Li Lanzhi. As soon as she heard her mother's voice, Qiao Nan's first reaction was to hang up the phone, so as not to ask her about her future after graduation.

Who knew that Li Lanzhi asked: "Do you think being a soldier is a way out?"

“...... Huh?"

"Recently, your Aunt Zhao was stunned, and told me every day that she would let Cheng Lin go to the army to train for a few years. I don't know how to reply to her, what do you think?"

Qiao Nan was very puzzled: "Cheng Lin is not admitted to high school?"

Li Lanzhi sighed: "In the three years of junior high school, Cheng Lin was the first from the bottom of the grade every time, which is even more stable than Mount Tai. I inquired for him, and there was not a single high school in Hong Kong City that was willing to accept him. Your Aunt Zhao didn't want him to go to vocational high school, so she ran to the No. 2 Middle School again and again, begging grandpa to tell grandma, and the gate of the No. 2 Middle School was about to be broken by her. Thinking of your Uncle Wei's previous contributions to the Second Middle School, Lao Xu wanted to give Cheng Lin a chance. But he was really bad, and none of the school leaders approved of it. The only way to enroll is to pay more than 100,000 yuan in school construction fees, which is a special contribution to the school, and the school can open a channel for Chenglin. ”

Qiao Nan couldn't believe it: "Why did Cheng Lin become like this bear? When he was a child, he was still a little genius, he went home every day to get the award, and now he can't even enter high school?"

"Can't get in. Unless he performs at a high school level, do you think it is possible? He passed the high school entrance examination in less than a month, and now he still runs to the Internet café every day to stay up all night. The good lad tossed like a big smoker, half-dead all day long, and weak. Don't you see, now Cheng Lin is so thin that he can't look good, his hair covers half of his eyes, he has dyed yellow hair, and he has tattoos...... Alas, don't talk about it, it's really blind!" Li Lanzhi complained in pain and asked again: "Your Aunt Zhao is also desperate and wants to send him into the army." Ask me to inquire with you, do you think there is any hope for Cheng Lin to join the army?"

Qiao Nan suddenly made a difficulty, he felt very sad about Wei Chenglin's depravity, but he really couldn't say it if he really asked him to show Chenglin a way. After all, he was so hesitant now, and no one had come to show him the way.

"Mom, let's talk to Aunt Zhao first, the twisted melon is not sweet, send Cheng Linqiang into the army, maybe it will hurt him. Besides, Cheng Lin is not old enough to join the army, right? Regardless of whether he comes to the army in the future, it is the right thing to find a place for him to go to school first. ”

Li Lanzhi said: "Okay, I told her so too. Don't waste your energy on this either, do your own thing. ”

"Oh, got it. If Aunt Zhao has anything else she wants to ask, you can just ask her to find me. ”

"Hmm. Li Lanzhi agreed, and hesitated to speak: "Your ......"

"Mom, I have to go to training, let's talk next time!" Qiao Nan was afraid that his mother would mention where he was going after graduation, so he was busy hanging up the phone.

"It's your birthday the day after tomorrow, can you call then?"

Qiao Nan was stunned - it turned out that his mother was not here to ask him, but was worried about his birthday. If it weren't for his mother mentioning it, he might not be able to remember it.

After all, before he went to college, his family didn't care much about his birthday. It is rare to make him a bowl of longevity noodles on his birthday, usually a few days after his birthday, the Qiao family and his wife will wonder - is Qiao Nan about to celebrate his birthday recently? Therefore, often after his birthday, Qiao Nan can receive birthday wishes from his family.

Li Lanzhi said apologetically: "When you were at home, you didn't give you a birthday. You went to college in another place, and it was never given to you. Your dad and I don't have a good feeling!"

Qiao Nan smiled heartily: "How big is it? I don't take it seriously, just eat something delicious with my classmates, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Having said that, Qiao Nan still felt a little lonely. Of course, after hanging up the phone, the loneliness disappeared without a trace.

Because this weekend, his girlfriend is coming to see him. The military academy takes turns to go out every week, and Qiao Nan is very fair, ranking himself last every time he goes out. So this time he went out on the weekend, and his classmates didn't have any complaints.

Since the Spring Festival, he and Xue Dongmei have not seen each other for nearly four months. Although there were also correspondence during this period, which young man in love didn't miss his heart and liver?

In a blink of an eye, on May 21, Qiao Nan could finally go to see his girlfriend. He changed out of his military uniform and wore a black T-shirt, which showed off his strong and good figure. He was going to pick up Xue Dongmei at the station, but the moment he stepped out of the school gate, he happened to see his sweetheart standing opposite him, looking at him with a smile.

"You, how do you ......"

"I said the train time was an hour late, just to surprise you at the school gate. Xue Dongmei was so thin that she lost her appearance, but her smile was like a flower: "How is it, are you happy?"

"Open, happy, I'm about to die happy!" Qiao Nan was so happy that he was incoherent: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious first." ”

This time is neither early nor late, you can only have breakfast and lunch, Qiao Nan was afraid that her girlfriend would not be able to eat enough, so she ordered a lot at once, which made Xue Dongmei cry and laugh: "We are all students, what are you doing so extravagantly?"

"I only see you once in almost half a year, and I can't wait to order all the delicious food for you. Qiao Nan picked up vegetables for his girlfriend and said with some pride: "Last time, I won the first place on behalf of the school, and not only did I have a third-class merit, but I also got a bonus." So, even if you let go of your belly and eat, you can't eat my poor!"

The boy was originally extremely humble, but in front of his beloved girlfriend, he couldn't hide his pride in the spring breeze. This kind of expression is really cute, Xue Dongmei couldn't help laughing. Qiao Nan's heart was sweet, and he also smirked.

It was almost finished before Xue Dongmei said, "Qiao Nan, I want to discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter?" Qiao Nan was inexplicably nervous and couldn't eat anything.

"If, if I want to study abroad, will you support me to go?" Xue Dongmei looked at Qiao Nan nervously and explained: "In our major, many students went abroad for exchanges in their sophomore and junior years, but I didn't, I want to apply for the school's program in the next semester and go abroad." ”

Qiao Nan suddenly felt heartache, based on his intuition, he knew that once Xue Dongmei went to a foreign country, then there would be no possibility for them to continue.

But then again, he is ready to go to serve in the ravine, is it possible that he can force her to go with him? In the final analysis, after all, he is a top student of Tsinghua University, and he has a broader life path, and he has no right to stop others.

Qiao Nan's face was very gloomy, Xue Dongmei stretched his brows, and said with a smile: "Are you thinking about breaking up with me?"

Qiao Nan couldn't bear to admit it, and still lowered his head and was silent.

Xue Dongmei scratched his chin, forced him to raise his head, and said, "Today is your birthday, your first birthday after the two of us dated." Do you think I'm coming to see you just to say these things that make you unhappy?"

Qiao Nan said listlessly: "You're going abroad, how can I be happy?"

"I think I'll only go out for half a year, and when I come back, I'll discuss marriage with you. ”

Qiao Nan raised his head suddenly, only to see that Xue Dongmei's cool eyes were already flashing with tears. He scrambled to get her a tissue, but knocked over the cup, and he leaned over to pick it up, and the moment he looked up, he was hit on the head by the table. He let out an "oops", which made Xue Dongmei burst into tears and laughed.

"You're so cute, how can I be willing to break up with you? Xue Dongmei smiled with tears, she looked at Qiao Nan stupidly, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes.

Qiao Nan's detection ability is one of the best, but he can't detect the girl's heart, I don't know why she is telling him these words?

Xue Dongmei wiped her tears, held Qiao Nan's hand, and asked seriously, "Qiao Nan, I mean seriously." Half a year later, you and I will be able to set the direction of our lives in the future, and when the time comes, will you be willing to propose to me?"

Qiao Nan was chilled and asked blankly, "What's wrong with you, why are you telling me these strange things?"

Xue Dongmei said: "Actually, I have always had a crush on you in high school, and after I went to college, when you told me that you were going to have a relationship with me, I felt that I had no regrets in my life." I can swear to heaven and earth, in this life, I just want to marry you, no matter how good other boys are, there is only one Qiao Nan in this world. ”

Qiao Nan was greatly moved, he held his girlfriend in his arms, and said softly: "If you want to study abroad, you can go! I don't want you to go, just remember to come back." Don't say that, it sounds weird. ”

"Will you propose to me?" Xue Dongmei asked stubbornly as she lay in her lover's arms.

"Of course!"

"Okay, then let's not talk about it. Xue Dongmei sniffed and said as if she had made up her mind: "I took the train all night and am a little tired, can you accompany me to the hotel to rest?"
