The news of Qiao Nan's home visit spread far and wide, and on the morning he went out, several children had already jumped into the wonton restaurant, and the opening remarks were the same, "Is Brother Qiao Nan back?"

Jolene had to repeat "I'm back, but I'm out again" over and over again, and so on three or four times, she was a little annoyed. There was a sound of tatters outside, and Jolene thought to herself, "Can we borrow the loudspeaker from him?" She was going to record what she kept repeating, and whenever a child came to inquire, she would play it.

The sliding door was opened again, and when Qiao Lin saw that it was Xu Wei, she said tiredly, "Qiao Nan is back, but..."

Xu Wei approached her with an arrow and said in a low voice, "Do you think I'm here to find Qiao Nan?"

Qiao Lin suddenly understood, she blinked her eyes slyly, and also lowered her voice: "My sister will arrive at eight o'clock tonight." ”

Xu Wei was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and smiled like a little fool. Qiao Lin said again: "But I heard that my sister has passed the selection of the public derivation, and she will go through the procedures for going abroad when she comes back this time." ”

Xu Wei suddenly fell into hell: "Lu, Sister Lu is sure she wants to go abroad?"

Jolene nodded: "I heard that she applied for the government's inter-study program, and she wanted to apply to three American schools, and she was admitted to all three, and she finally decided to go to Stanford." ”

With such a bullish school, Xu Wei didn't even dare to think about it, he was speechless, and he was deflated all of a sudden. He performed at a super level in the college entrance examination, and he was a candidate in the province, so he finally stumbled into the Maritime University. Haida is okay in the province, but it can only be regarded as the last 985 in the country, and Qiao Lu applied for a world-class university!

Qiao Lin cheered him up: "Brother Xu, can't you apply for graduate school in the United States after graduating from college?"

Xu Wei was very frustrated: "My English is so bad that I can't even pass the language level." ”

Now Qiao Lin is out of line, Xu Wei lay on the table weakly, thinking about how to be with Qiao Lu, but after thinking about it, there is no way to do it.

He was distressed, and Qiao Nan, who was "dating" Xue Dongmei, came back. Qiao Nan looked very happy, the corners of his mouth kept upturning, and he really smiled so hard that even Xu Wei couldn't even turn a blind eye.

"Hey, you treat me like air!" Xu Wei said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh oh..."Qiao Nan still couldn't give up.

"Where have you been? Are you in Port City, do you have a buddy who is more iron than me?" Xu Wei asked sadly.

Jolene smiled and said, "It's not necessarily buddies who people go to meet!"

Qiao Lin's head was pressed on the table by her brother with a "snap", and Qiao Nan said without moving: "You talk nonsense again, watch out for your little head!"

Jolene twisted her neck for a while, and then ran to the back kitchen to complain to her father, saying that her brother was going to break her neck. Qiao Jianjun listened patiently, and only then did he spit out three words when his daughter had no strength to say more: "You deserve it." ”

Jolene stomped her feet in anger and howled twice, so she could only obediently go out to do her homework. Qiao Nan and Xu Wei had already left the wonton restaurant, and they didn't know where to go to play games again.

Qiao Lin guessed correctly, there was still a little time before Qiao Lu came back, and the two boys went to the Internet café near No. 2 Middle School to fight Warcraft. When he was a student, Qiao Nan was known for his super high concentration in the whole school, but he himself admitted that no matter how concentrated he was when he was studying, he was not as focused as when he was playing games.

Xu Wei wore headphones and shouted proudly: "Watch me use the Ice Dragon Sea to teach you how to behave!"

Qiao Nan said indifferently: "Cut, your HUM can't beat my UD." ”

The two killed for a while, Xu Wei was so angry that he threw away the headphones, and Qiao Nan raised his eyebrows proudly. Xu Wei said unconvinced: "Didn't you say that your troops can't play the game, why have you become so powerful?"

Qiao Nan said with a smile: "'Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried'." Where the instructor can't see, he can still practice secretly. After practicing for a few years, I finally have the opportunity to abuse you. ”

Xu Wei opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to do, so he went to the bar and bought two bottles of Coke, threw one bottle to Qiao Nan, and said, "Is it interesting to abuse me? Why don't we go to Haofang to open a black and abuse person together!"

Qiao Nan agreed and said, "Wait for me to relieve my hands and make it easier for me to travel lightly." ”

As a result, as soon as he stood up, he squinted his eyes, walked towards the most corner position, and shouted, "Cheng Lin?"

Wei Chenglin was killing in the dark, completely immersed in the game, his mouth was full of words, and various circles of light flashed on the screen, all of which were reflected in his excited pupils.

He was having fun when he was suddenly interrupted and very annoyed. But as soon as he raised his head, he saw Qiao Nan, and immediately stammered: "Qiao, Brother Qiao Nan..."

A nameless fire rose in Qiao Nan's heart, and he couldn't help but reprimand: "Didn't you go to the tutorial class, why did you play games here?"

Wei Chenglin laughed with him, but his smile was very stiff: "I'm tired of studying, just come out and relax..."

Qiao Nan tugged at his collar and dragged him out of the Internet café, Xu Wei saw that the situation was not good, and immediately followed. In front of Qiao Nan, Cheng Lin didn't dare to defend himself, and stood there trembling.

Qiao Nan asked solemnly, "How did you do in the final exam this time?"

Wei Chenglin didn't dare to answer, Xu Wei said for him: "This time is not only the first in the class, but also the first in the entire grade, right?"

Up to now, Wei Chenglin is also a picture of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he has a heart: "I'm just stupid in my brain! What can't I do, I can't learn well anyway, what's wrong with playing games? Why can you play but I can't?"

Qiao Nan asked, "Are you really stupid?"

"Yes, is there anyone in Jixianglu who is stupider than me?"

Qiao Nan continued to ask: "Who is the prodigy who passed the piano test in the fourth grade of primary school? Who is the child who won a prize in a math competition while playing the piano?"

Cheng Lin was speechless for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You all remember this..."

Qiao Nan sighed and said: "Cheng Lin, if you want to say that the stupidest person in our school, it should be Qiao Lin, right?" Qiao Lin just came back from the countryside, and when she first entered Jixiang Road Primary School, she took the first place in the class twice in a row, and the teacher visited her several times to let her stay one level. But Jolene was not happy to cry, she had learned to stay up late since she was a child, and memorized what she had learned every day, and she has been memorizing it until now. You say you're stupid, are you stupid because she's stupid? But how did Jolene work hard from the bottom to the top 20 in her class?"

Wei Chenglin said unconvinced: "People are different from each other, Sister Qiao Lin likes to read, so she can work so hard; I don't like reading at all, I doze off when I see a book, how can I learn well?"

Qiao Nan was so angry with him that his chest was tight and short of breath, and he almost grabbed his ears and beat him. Fortunately, reason overcame impulse, he took a deep breath, and said: "Where is there a person who naturally likes to learn? Jolene probably doesn't like to study either, right? It's just that she is a student and knows that reading is her own responsibility, so she will do it desperately." A girl can hold back a spirit of not admitting defeat, what about you? Are you willing to fall like this?"

Xu Wei remembered his personal experience and added sadly: "Cheng Lin, you may not understand at your age, you don't study well, you may not even be able to catch up with your beloved girl!"

Wei Chenglin no longer argued, hung his head, and walked away sullenly. He has slowly lost his baby fat, and he no longer looks like a red panda, but he is still so ignorant that he is simply angry.

Qiao Nan was angry with him and didn't want to go back to playing games. Xu Wei said helplessly: "Actually, Aunt Zhao is very strict with him, but Grandma Wei always protects her shortcomings and doesn't have any requirements for Cheng Lin, so he has become what he is now." Alas, no one said that if they didn't listen to him, he was hopeless. ”

Qiao Nan also felt very sad: "Teacher Wei died young, and the Wei family is left with Chenglin, a child, and Grandma Wei still spoils him to the sky? If he had been my own brother, I would have kicked him home. ”

Xu Wei hurriedly said: "You must control yourself, after Teacher Wei left, Grandma Wei was afraid that his precious grandson would bump into it a little." Aunt Zhao beat Cheng Lin, and the old lady was looking for death and life, and the whole compound knew about it. ”

Qiao Nan drank the rest of the Coke and kicked the Coke can into the trash. Xu Wei was dumbfounded, and praised again and again: "Young man is so skilled!"

With a can of Coke in his stomach, Qiao Nan gave a long hiccup and said, "Maybe only Qiao Lin can clean him up." ”

After Qiao Lin successfully went straight to the second middle and high school, she has already started training with the dance team of the high school. Don't look at the second middle school's study is particularly strict, and the morality, intellect and physique have not fallen behind, although it is only the "moral, intellectual, physical" of a very small number of people.

Qiao Lin caught a cold, and she was very out of shape during training, and was criticized several times by the coach of the dance team, Mr. Meng. Jolene was aggrieved, but she couldn't justify it - she really dragged everyone down!

When she returned home, she happened to meet Wei Chenglin, who was brought back from the Internet café by Qiao Nan. Seeing his sullen appearance, Jolene chased after him and asked, but before he could open his mouth, he sneezed two solidly.

"Sister Qiao Lin, do you have a cold?" Wei Chenglin asked with concern.

"Well, maybe the air conditioner is blowing too much. Jolene's sneezes couldn't be stopped, one after the other, and her eyes were full of stars, and the sky was spinning.

"Come to my house and rest for a while, and let my grandmother find you some medicine." Wei Chenglin said: "Anyway, there is no one in your family, who will take care of you when you are sick?"

Dad and brother all knew that they had a cold, but no one cared about them as much as Cheng Lin, Qiao Lin was moved for a while, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go to your house first." ”

Wei Chenglin suddenly became happy, and opened the door before Qiao Lin. The Wei family was tidy and tidy, and a piano was placed in the most conspicuous position in the living room, but it was covered with cloth. On the table opposite the piano is a portrait of Wei Chenglin's father, with a young and handsome face smiling, and incense is burning in front of the portrait.

Qiao Lin didn't dare to come to the Wei family, a large part of the reason was because of this posthumous portrait. Although Uncle Wei was very kind to her when he was alive, the room with the portrait always made people feel a little gloomy. However, Qiao Lin understands the Wei family, especially Mrs. Wei, and understands why she dotes on Wei Chenglin so much.

Mrs. Wei was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and when she heard that Qiao Lin had a cold, she turned off the liquefied gas and came out to take a look. At first glance, she knew that Jolene was sick, and the usually lively and clever little girl was now slumped on the sofa panting. Mrs. Wei reached out and touched her forehead, and exclaimed, "It's amazing, why is it burning so badly!"

Qiao Lin wilted, and she didn't even have the strength to speak, and Wei Chenglin was very worried. As soon as Mrs. Wei summed it up, she thought about it: "Linlin, you drink some water first, and grandma will get you some medicine!"

"Thank you, Grandma Wei. Jolene said weakly.

Mrs. Wei pulled Wei Chenglin over, poured a glass of boiled water, and asked him to bring it to Qiao Lin. Mrs. Wei also advised: "When people are sick, they are the easiest to be moved, you have to take good care of Qiao Lin, so that she will never forget your kindness to her in her life." ”

Wei Chenglin asked stupidly, "Why?"

Mrs. Wei was afraid that Qiao Lin would hear it, so she didn't dare to say it out loud, so she glared at her grandson: "Your mother is right, you are really an elm pimple." ”

Wei Chenglin didn't pursue it anymore and brought the water to Qiao Lin. Jolene blocked both nostrils with toilet paper, saving her nose from blowing her nose again and again. She drank all the boiled water, grabbed her schoolbag, and said weakly: "I'd better go back first, don't pass on the cold to you." ”

As soon as Mrs. Wei heard that Qiao Lin was leaving, she immediately brought out a bowl of medicine and said, "What are you going to do? Your mother is too busy to be at home every day, and this is the busiest time in the store, who will take care of you when you go home?" Grandma made you some cold powder, you drink it first, and sleep here." ”

Mrs. Wei washed the medicine, and Qiao Lin would be a little embarrassed to leave again. She thanked her and drank the bowl of medicine. After drinking it, she smacked her lips and asked, "Huh, why does this medicine taste so weird?"

Mrs. Wei said unexpectedly: "This is my exclusive secret recipe, I brewed two packets of medicine for you, and the effect is good!"

Qiao Lin was taken aback and retorted in a low voice: "But when I was very young, my grandmother told me that I can only drink one pack of cold medicine at a time, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what else can you do?" Mrs. Wei's face sank, and her tone was irrefutable: "When Cheng Lin had a serious cold, I also made two or three packs for him to drink at a time, and at most I washed four packs, you see that nothing happened to Cheng Lin! You are so sick, you have to be treated with fierce medicine! Don't be afraid, a small cold will drag on for ten days and half a month." ”

Qiao Lin was dumbfounded by Mrs. Wei, and just as the effect of the medicine took off, her eyelids were heavy, and she slid on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep. Mrs. Wei found her a small blanket, put it on her, and said to herself: "Hey, that's right! After taking the medicine, you have to sleep a lot, and if you sweat again, you will have a cold!"

As everyone knows, Jolene not only fell asleep, but fell into a coma all of a sudden. She felt herself fall off a cliff, her body floating in the void, the feeling of weightlessness making her feel insecure. She tried to grasp something, but it was dark all around, she couldn't see anything, she couldn't grasp anything.

She didn't know how long she had been floating and ended up lying in an unknown place. She wanted to get up, but her body weighed a thousand pounds, and she finally sat up, only to find herself sitting on the sofa of the Wei family, but she couldn't see Cheng Lin and his grandmother.

In this chaos, Jolene's consciousness became clearer and clearer—am I dead?

It was as if someone was playing the piano, it was Jolene's familiar "Dream Wedding", and the sound of ding-dong-dong was nearby. After a while, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a footstep gradually approached. Jolene rolled her eyes and saw a clear figure, his eyes looking particularly hollow because of his thin face. Jolene was so frightened that she screamed loudly, trying to hide but with nowhere to hide.

The "person" approached, squatted beside her with a smile, and said kindly, "Linlin, long time no see." ”

"Wei... Uncle Wei, aren't you dead, how can I see you?"

Uncle Wei said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Uncle wants to ask you for something,"

"What, what's the matter?"

"Look at Chenglin for me! this kid is so depraved now!" Uncle Wei said with a frown.

Qiao Lin said: "I want to take him, but Grandma Wei always protects him, and I can't help it." ”

Uncle Wei sighed: "If it goes on like this, the Wei family will be finished." Cheng Lin only listens to you, you can help me take a good look at him, please!"

Before Jolene could speak, her body was lifted up, and at the same time, a beam of light shone down from overhead. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw her brother's eager face in a trance.

"Linlin, Linlin, wake up!" Qiao Nan ran with the emergency bed, kept calling out his sister's name, his eyebrows twisted into a big pimple, and his face was covered with sweat.

Jolene was dizzy, feeling like she was being pushed by a car, surrounded by doctors in white coats, and the smell of disinfectant water was thick in the air.

With a "wow", Jolene spit out a big mouthful, she didn't know how many times she had vomited, and the medical staff was surprised and calmly wiped off the vomit for her.

Qiao Nan asked anxiously, "Doctor, my sister has woken up, is it nothing serious?"

The doctor didn't answer Qiao Nan's words, but asked Qiao Lin: "Little friend, are you awake now?"

Jolene's eyes were half-open and she nodded slightly.

The doctor held out three fingers, and Jolene said "three" in a weak voice, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The doctor did a series of tests, measured blood pressure, and tested blood, and finally said to Qiao's family: "She vomited it all herself, it's nothing serious." Get two injections here and observe for the night. ”

Qiao Nan's tight strings were instantly loosened, and he leaned against the wall softly, and kept thanking the doctor. After the doctors were gone, he walked into the ward, held his sister's cold hand, and said, "How did you do it, the cold is not so serious, right?"

Li Lanzhi was not so polite, and reprimanded him with a crackle: "Are you eating those messy skewers again? How many times have I said it, that thing can't be eaten! Don't come to me if you're sick." It's good for you to pass out directly at Wei Chenglin's house, scaring everyone half to death, not to mention, how much will the ambulance take in this time?"

As soon as Qiao Lin woke up, she didn't know the situation, she was scolded by her mother, and she was immediately very aggrieved, she said loudly: "It's not eating skewers, it's..."

Li Lanzhi looked impatient: "Then you say, what else can you do? Could it be that you have eaten that packet of cold medicine like this?"

Qiao Lin was so angry that she shook off the needle for the injection, Qiao Nan was shocked and hurriedly called the nurse in. While comforting his crying sister, he persuaded his mother: "Mom, don't say that yet, maybe there is another reason!"

Qiao Lin's bean-sized tears smashed on the quilt one by one, which made people feel extremely distressed. Li Lanzhi was also furious, and kept nagging: "You fainted at Chenglin's house, and you vomited vigorously, making a mess of other people's homes! If you didn't have food poisoning, how could this be?"

Jolene couldn't stop crying, and said again and again, "I'm also... I don't know what happened to myself, what happened to me. Grandma Wei made me two packets of cold medicine, and after I drank it, I didn't remember anything, only that I saw Uncle Wei in my dream. ”

Qiao Nan and Li Lanzhi looked at each other and repeated in unison: "Two packs of cold medicine?"
