Qiao Nan called home, told her mother about Zhao Linlin's situation, and told her mother not to tell the school, just let her family pick her up. After a while, Li Lanzhi's phone called, saying that Zhao Linlin's mother had already set off and might arrive in Rongcheng tomorrow night.

Her mother said that after hearing that Zhao Linlin went to Sichuan, she bought a ticket. Alas, the child ran away without saying a word, and there is no hurry to be a mother. But from here on, we have to go to the provincial capital to pour a train, let her wait! The news always says that we want to start a high-speed train or something, and I don't know when it will be built, and this trip is so tiring......

After Li Lanzhi finished chattering, Qiao Nan told Zhao Linlin, and finally said, "If you have anything you want to eat, I'll go out and buy some." ”

"Hmm...... Whatever Jolene likes to eat, you just buy a little. ”

"How do I know what she likes to eat? Raising her is like having a dog, buying whatever she wants. ”

Zhao Linlin was also successfully choked to death by him. But in her opinion, Brother Qiao Nan is so cute.

"As long as you're not a picky eater, then I'll watch and buy it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Brother Qiao Nan was reckless and decisive, and Zhao Linlin couldn't stop it.

Qiao Nan asked for leave with the team and stayed with Zhao's mother until she came. Qiao Nan vaccinated her in advance and asked her to stop blaming Zhao Linlin. Mother Zhao's face was very ugly, and she didn't squeak in the face of Qiao Nan's request.

Zhao's mother settled the medical bills, calculated the money with Qiao Nan, and didn't say thank you to him. Qiao Nan has been outside for too long and has to return to the team, he told Zhao Linlin not to have any more conflicts with her mother and return to Hong Kong City to study hard. Zhao Linlin didn't know whether she was sad or reluctant to him, so she bowed her head and agreed.

The moment Qiao Nan started the car, Zhao Linlin suddenly caught up and mustered up the courage to ask: "Brother Qiao Nan, why didn't you ask me, why did I say that the person I want to see the most is you?"

Qiao Nan smiled heartily, do you still need to consider this question?" "You are uprooted from your hometown and encounter difficulties, of course you are looking for the closest to you." I'm the closest to you, who are you looking for me not looking for?"

？？？

is so simple and straightforward, so that Zhao Linlin loses all desire to explain. Is Qiao Nan's head full of reinforced concrete? Could it be that his internal organs are also made of steel and will not turn at all? How strong and iron-clad is he to be unaware of the girl's thoughts?

"Leave me a message when I get home, don't do stupid things anymore!"

Qiao Nan waved at her, and that bright smile lingered in front of Zhao Linlin's eyes. In Zhao Linlin's eyes, even if he is an Iron Man, he is also the most gentle Iron Man.

Zhao's mother packed her things and asked her daughter, "Where is the luggage?"

"...... at the rental house"

"Let's go!"

Mother Zhao strode and walked fast. When she takes a few steps, she will spit out a mouthful of phlegm loudly, attracting sideways glances from passers-by. Zhao Linlin's face was hot, and she really didn't want to walk with her mother.

Walking to the bottom of the ancient tube building, Zhao's mother's cheeks twitched. Once she was in the building, she couldn't stride forward, because the corridors were full of things from all over the house, and they were greasy everywhere. She glanced at the rusty water room, smelled the pungent stench in the public bathroom, and then walked to her daughter's ten-square-meter rental house, and did not speak for a long time.

Zhao Linlin was afraid that her mother would scold her, so she tiptoed to pat the dust on the stool and asked her mother to sit down. Mother Zhao kicked away the stool, and packed her luggage without saying a word: "Go home!"

Zhao Linlin was not happy.

"Living in this shabby place and don't want to go back?"

"I want to paint. ”

“......”

Mother Zhao was so angry that she couldn't breathe, and let out a long "cough", just about to spit out a mouthful of old phlegm, but found that there was no place to vomit. She had to walk through the narrow hallway and go to the bathroom. But the scene in the bathroom almost didn't make her vomit.

Back in her daughter's room, she ignored her daughter's crying and continued to pack her things. Zhao Linlin refused to leave, and had a good tug with her mother. Zhao's mother was helpless and said, "Can't we go back to the provincial capital to learn painting?"

This is a compromise proposal, Zhao Linlin was silent, and Zhao's mother took her as a tacit consent. She packed up her things neatly, jingling, ping-pong, and Zhao Linlin was terrified when she heard it. What made her even more sad was that her mother kept nagging her that she was a loser, which made her extremely sad.

Zhao Linlin thought to herself, maybe she should resist, not accept her mother's proposal, and come up with the same determination as a revolutionary martyr, and continue to stay here if she dies. But she didn't know why she was so cowardly, even if she was scolded by her mother and couldn't raise her head, she still wanted to return to her hometown and return to a place where she had relatives and friends.

She felt that she was unproductive, but she put her hands in her pockets and leaned against the wall sullenly, accepting her "unproductiveness".

On the train back to her hometown, Zhao's mother asked her daughter to make a list of the borrowed money. Zhao Linlin remembers very well that she borrowed 2,000 yuan from Brother Qiao Nan, 2,000 yuan from Xu Na (it is said to be a month's living expenses from her mother), and other classmates borrowed almost 1,000 yuan. Mother Zhao looked at the list, not angry, but laughed: "It's amazing, I didn't make any money, I owe a lot of money first." Iniquity!

Thinking about it now, Zhao Linlin realized that she was indeed too reckless. Because her mother wanted to pay off her debts, she didn't dare to contradict her mother, and she returned to an ostrich posture with her head bowed and her chest in her arms.

After returning to Hong Kong City, Zhao's mother went to Qiao's house first and paid off Qiao Nan's money. told Li Lanzhi that her daughter is not sensible, so don't lend her money in the future.

Li Lanzhi said: "Young people don't think about things, I also criticized Qiao Nan a few days ago, he shouldn't blindly lend her money." Lend her money to give her hope of going out. She's still underage, and if something happens out there, who can be responsible?"

"Who says it's not? This girl's classmates are also bold, and they don't think about whether she can pay off the money?

When adults do something, they usually think about the risk first, and they will give up a lot of things when they think about it, and they forget that in their teenage years, there will always be a few moments when they can put aside all their thoughts and rush to the path they yearn for. Maybe it's to get the girl you love, maybe it's to wander with the boy you love the most, or maybe it's for your dreams......

At that time, they don't think about risks, they don't think about houses and cars, they just blindly follow their hearts and do something that makes their blood boil. However, the years will always make them forget, and when they become adults, they will no longer remember the enthusiasm of their youth.

Just like Zhao Linlin went out to learn art, in the eyes of Qiao Lin and Xu Na, it was very cool, very brave, and very worthy of encouragement, but in the eyes of adults, it was nonsense, not only not worthy of encouragement, but also as a typical example of criticism and education.

Zhao Linlin was trained by her mother to wilt, and she slammed the water cup blankly. Li Lanzhi held her hand and said softly: "It's a good thing to have ideals, but you can't lose all your rationality for the sake of ideals." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Your mother also promised you to send you to the provincial capital to paint. If the pressure is too much, don't do stupid things, you still have family and friends, and if you encounter difficulties, ask everyone for help. ”

Before Zhao Linlin agreed, Zhao's mother snorted coldly: "Heh, if I look for death and life again this time, then I will have no choice." Alas, to raise a daughter is to raise a rival!"

Li Lanzhi hurriedly gave her a look, asking her to stop stimulating her daughter, and Zhao Linlin would not be stimulated by her mother anymore. She couldn't figure it out, she obviously had a lot in real life, and even had a bunch of Oba in her fantasy that she wanted to pounce on, how could she want to jump from the sixth floor because of four or five thousand yuan?

Thinking about it carefully, that amount of money was only one or two months' salary for an adult, could he be guilty of going to a dead end? His own head was really pulled out! Zhao Linlin was full of remorse and even more ashamed.

But when Qiao Nan accompanied her, he told her that he would always make some stupid mistakes when he was a teenager, which can be regarded as the price of growing up! He also ran into the sea at high tide, and was almost swallowed by the waves, and now he is stupid to think about it. Therefore, those stupid past events are not a big deal, and the most important thing is to live seriously in the future.

After listening, Zhao Linlin also asked the same question: "Brother Qiao Nan, aren't you a platoon commander?

Qiao Nan looked slumped, why did you say that?

Zhao Linlin smiled shyly: "Just kidding, you really look like a life coach." ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Linlin was much happier. Elites like Qiao Nan can also make mistakes, so what does it matter if they make mistakes?

After settling all the accounts, it is time for the mother and daughter of the Zhao family to leave. Zhao Linlin asked Qiao Lin about the return date as usual, and Li Lanzhi sighed: "I heard her aunt say that she is like a fish in water there, but the meniscus has not recovered yet." If she stays in Germany any longer, she will definitely delay the college entrance examination, so it is better to stay in Germany and go to school. ”

Zhao Linlin was anxious all of a sudden: "No, no, no! If she leaves alone, this alley will be empty! I can't let her stay in Germany!"

Li Lanzhi said: "Her aunt always called us and said that the schools in Germany are so many better, and it would be better for Jolene to get an education there. Her aunt not only found her a German teacher, but also took her out to play, and alas, I think Jolene couldn't get enough of it. ”

"She just went to heal her wounds, healed them, and came back. Zhao Linlin didn't want to believe it, and was still defending her friend.

"It's hard to say!" Although Li Lanzhi doesn't feel good in her heart, who can blame her? The girl has been neglected at home for more than ten years, and she has been spoiled in the hands of her aunt, she is not a fool, she will not know where to be better?

"Teacher Li. ”

"Huh?"

"Can't you go back to No. 2 Middle School? And our former homeroom teacher, Mr. Guo, and the former Principal Xu, won't they come back?"

“…… What's wrong?"

"The school has changed a lot...... I don't know if it's getting colder or if it's getting colder at school. ”

Li Lanzhi also felt very sad about some changes in the second middle school. When schools deteriorate, the most direct victims are students. But for her, No. 2 Middle School is already in the past, she patted Zhao Linlin's shoulder and said, "It's getting cold, just add more clothes and protect yourself." ”
