The stronger the idea of apologizing, the more difficult it is to speak, and Jolene deeply understands the meaning of this sentence.

After evening self-study, she originally wanted to go home directly, but Sun Ruiyang waited for her at the school gate, saying that she wanted to go to her store for some supper. Jolene was stunned for a long time, but she still didn't resist him, so she had to eat with him.

When he first saw Sun Ruiyang come in, Qiao Jianjun was still smiling, but when he saw Qiao Lin following behind him, he couldn't smile anymore.

Jolene was embarrassed, it was obviously her own store, but she was standing at the door, she couldn't walk or enter.

Sun Ruiyang was keenly aware of the subtle nerve war between their father and daughter, and while Qiao Jianjun was busy in the back kitchen, he quietly pulled Qiao Lin and asked, "What's going on?"

Jolene's face flushed, and she was very embarrassed: "I made Dad angry today." ”

Sun Ruiyang instantly had a capital "slot" + "confused".

He scratched his head, puzzled: "You actually make adults angry?"

Jolene was even more embarrassed, turned away, and whispered, "I just think he's embarrassed...... Say no more, I'm uncomfortable enough. ”

"More than 99 percent of the people who can bravely face up to their mistakes, and more than 100 percent of those who have the courage to admit their mistakes!"

Sun Ruiyang can always give himself strength in time, and Qiao Lin asked timidly, "Will my father forgive me?"

"Uncle Qiao, where is such a cautious person, besides, you are his daughter, where can he really be angry with you?"

After listening to Sun Ruiyang's words, Qiao Lin mustered up her courage and returned to the store. Qiao Jianjun happened to bring out two bowls of wontons, and said lightly: "Come and eat!"

Dad had already given himself the stairs, and Jolene said, "I want to eat spicy, I'll go to the kitchen and get some chili oil." ”

Watching the Qiao family's father and daughter walk into the kitchen one after another, Sun Ruiyang showed a relieved smile. He didn't wait for Jolene, put down his bag, and began to gobble it up.

The space in the back kitchen was very narrow, Qiao Jianjun was washing the dishes, his back was to Qiao Lin, and he handed her a bottle of chili oil without looking back. Qiao Lin took the chili oil and threw herself on her father coldly, and Qiao Jianjun suddenly stopped the movements in his hand.

"Dad, I'm sorry. Jolene pressed her face to her father's shoulder and whispered the apology. So light that she couldn't hear herself, let alone know if her father could hear it.

Qiao Jianjun didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

After all, she is still the obedient little girl, she did not deny it, did not escape, but frankly admitted her mistakes.

He turned around, wiped the tears from Jolene's face, and scratched her nose, "What did you me off? Why don't I remember?"

Dad used that old face to pretend to be dazed as much as possible, and Jolene burst into tears and laughed, and then cried and said, "I shouldn't have thrown away my glasses, and I shouldn't ......have accused you of bargaining."

"Okay, the wontons should be cold, let's go eat them!"

Qiao Jianjun interrupted his daughter's words at the right time and kicked her out. He had been depressed all night, but a hug from his daughter relieved him. It is a very simple thing for parents to forgive their children!

Qiao Lin's heart knot was untied, and it was much more pleasing to the eye to see Sun Ruiyang. She leaned closer, looked at him carefully, and asked, "Have you changed your glasses?"

"Well, the previous power was too low, and the blackboard was always unreadable. ”

Qiao Lin reached out and touched his head, and said lovingly: "Hey, Sun Xiucai is preparing for the Olympiad, I'm really tired!"

"What is this little effort? Brother Qiao Nan has taken back the elite sword, I have to keep up with him. Sun Ruiyang heroically made a bowl of wonton soup: "In such a difficult competition, Brother Qiao Nan can win the championship;

At any time, her brother is the idol of the boys on Jixianglu, and Jolene is very pleased with this.

She said thoughtfully: "It's true that when your heart is not well, you can't go out to play, you can only stay at home." When I couldn't even memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table, you almost finished all the junior high school math, and you were an out-and-out 'math king'!"

As long as mathematics is mentioned, Sun Ruiyang is full of confidence and full of energy: "The primary school math olympiad is boring, the most important is still high school, this time I am bound to win!"

Qiao Jianjun finished his work, sat down next to the two children, and interjected: "Yangyang, is it possible to be sent to Peking University if you take the first place in the province?"

"That's pretty much the case, but if you're escorted, you can only enter several colleges, or choose a related major. I want to study medicine, but I can't get this one. ”

Jolene asked, "What if you get escorted?"

Sun Ruiyang said with a smile: "Nine times out of ten, don't want it, just give it to the person you want to go." Anyway, purely based on the college entrance examination, I can also pass the exam. After all, we have been with each other for more than ten years, and I have never slackened, and it can't treat me badly!"

From childhood to adulthood, Sun Ruiyang's nickname is "Sun Xiucai", don't look at him always gentle and elegant, but he has a self-confidence that melts into his bones. Jolene looked at him enviously and thought to herself, if only she could be like him!

Qiao Jianjun praised: "Those who can win awards in the competition have different brains from us mortals." Qiao Lu and Qiao Nan are good at studying, but there is still a big gap between the content of the exam and the competition, and they have never participated. If you can take the first place, I won't call you Xiucai in the future, but call you the champion!"

Sun Ruiyang smiled shyly: "What kind of champion? Brother Qiao Nan is the top science student in our second middle school!"

Qiao Jianjun "chuckled" in his heart, he hadn't thought about this problem for a long time, his son went to the military school as the top science student in the second middle school. Although he has aspired to be a hero since he was a child, if his family circumstances allowed it at the time, he would have made another choice, right?

Qiao Jianjun would rather his son choose a broader and smoother path, and he would not have to endure so much hardship as he does now, so that he can reach the peak of life and meet another glory.

However, there is no "if", Qiao Nan is still crawling around in the military academy, and he will have to walk on the tip of the knife every day in the future, so that the Qiao family hangs a heart every day.

Qiao Jianjun was inexplicably melancholy, walked outside the wonton restaurant, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and let out a long sigh. The weather in early spring was still cold, and the white mist spread in the darkness and finally disappeared.

The two children were still talking and laughing in the store, and Kaka was seen on the late-night news as he prepares for next Wednesday's Champions League clash with AC Milan at home to Bayern Munich.

Jolene was very unhappy: "I watch the news every day, I can't watch a few games a year, and I can't see Kaka's heroic appearance on the field, what's the point?"

Sun Ruiyang finished eating, put on his coat, and said with a smile: "I'll buy you a newspaper on Thursday, don't be sad!"

"Hmm!" Jolene smiled happily and admonished, "You have to rest early, don't do it too late." ”

"Got it, you too!" Sun Ruiyang also smiled, his smile was like spring sunshine.

The two broke up at the intersection, Sun Ruiyang was waiting for the traffic light, and looked back at Qiao Lin, she jumped like a rabbit. He looked stupidly and smiled stupidly: "It's so cute!"

She gradually walked into the darkness, Sun Ruiyang didn't think about it, and ran over, startling Qiao Lin.

Sun Ruiyang explained: "It's too late, I'll send you home." ”

"Okay!"

Qiao Lin didn't think much about it, she was still bouncing, and she didn't care about Sun Ruiyang's existence at all. Anyway, he was always there when he was needed, and even when he wasn't needed, as long as she turned around, he still stood not far away, smiling at himself.

Sun Ruiyang silently followed behind her, whether she was innocent or eccentric, she was a girl who grew up with him. He liked to look at her like that.

Whenever it is, just look at her.

The two of them are like this, "If you don't speak, it's very beautiful."

***

There is a computer class on Wednesday, and you can secretly open the Internet Explorer browser and browse the web for a while. Jolene doesn't have much fun going online, and she doesn't have any netizens, at most she just looks around AC Milan and looks at Kaka.

Zhao Linlin stabbed her, Qiao Lin thought that the teacher was coming, and quickly closed the webpage.

"No, look at this, is this you?"

Jolene leaned over, and suddenly her hands and feet were cold, and she shivered.

Zhao Linlin was browsing the "Gangcheng No. 2 Middle School" post bar, and a post was topped high, and there were already thousands of replies.

The name of the post is "The alumni of No. 2 Middle School are all coming to watch! This is Mama Li's daughter!"

"For the No. 2 middle school students, what kind of existence is Mama Li? She is elusive and unpredictable, but she can always catch you at the most critical moment, train you to cry bitterly, and make you feel that you are a heinous sinner. All in all, she is a character who makes the second middle school student fearful.

In Mama Li's opinion, early love is to go to hell, and she doesn't know how many couples have broken up. But look, what is her daughter doing when she teaches others?"

The opening paragraph ends with a lot of photos. Sun Ruiyang and Qiao Lin were at the school gate, in the carport, at the intersection waiting for the car, and in the alley home...... In every photo, almost all of them are smiling extraordinarily brightly, and each one is the best look of youth.

Jolene flipped through the threads below nervously, and almost everyone was cynical. There are also many people who have taken the topic elsewhere.

"Don't say that they are Mama Li's daughter, Qiao Lin is not her own at all! Mama Li doesn't care about her, so it's a matter of course!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Qiao Lu is not biological, we all know it that time. It's because her life experience was picked up that she didn't take the college entrance examination, right?"

"You all disperse, don't be blind here! I am from Jixianglu, I have heard the old man say since I was a child, Qiao Nan is actually the son of his uncle, and his current father is his second uncle. He is the only boy in the Qiao family, and the only 'root' of the Qiao family! So after his father died, his second uncle has been raising him by his side, as his own son. ”

"Agree upstairs! I've heard of it too. Qiao Nan's grades can be cleared in the Beijing Jiaotong Examination, but why did he go to the military academy? It was because he didn't want to drag down the second uncle's family anymore, so he kept the family's money for his cousin and cousin to go to school. His father, that is, his second uncle, is so strict with him, because he is not his own son, and he has to train him to be worthy of his eldest brother and the Qiao family. ”

"Haha, it's funny upstairs, we're talking about Mama Li and her daughter's early love, how do you talk about their life experience?"

"Mama Li personally demonstrates, what is the meaning of only allowing the state officials to set fires, and not allowing the people to light lamps!

Qiao Lin bit her lip tightly, her face turned pale, Zhao Linlin's expression became more and more distorted, and she asked with a bitter face, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Jolene squeezed a few words out between her teeth, her teeth grinding.

"If it's okay, can you let go of your hand?" Zhao Linlin was extremely painful: "You pinched my thigh!"
