Qiao Nan and Xue Dongmei's relationship was made public, which was tantamount to throwing a bombshell at No. 2 Middle School and Jixiang Road, which exploded for several days, and the smoke never dissipated.

After Qiao's family returned to Hong Kong City, they were blown up by the news and couldn't find their way in the smoke of gunpowder.

And they didn't understand, why Xue Dongmei? They had been competing for three years in high school! When did they see each other?

"Qiao Nan has a partner!"

As soon as Grandma came to Hong Kong City, she continued to be brainwashed by this news. Unlike the Qiao family's confusion, the old man was cheerful and open-minded, and accepted the news happily.

The old man said confidently: "My Nan Nan is the most assertive, and the girl he sees must be right! I wish I had a great grandson earlier!"

At noon on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family had dinner together, and it was rare for my aunt to show up. Even when she came to her eldest sister's house for dinner, she was dressed up to attend, and from the time she entered the door to the time she took off her coat, she recited the white mink coat she had just bought three times.

Qiao Nan was watching TV, and the aunt sat next to her, and asked with a somewhat mocking look: "Nan Nan, your object is the particularly famous learning maniac in the second middle school?"

Qiao Nan didn't like this kind of evaluation very much, he endured it, and said with a smile: "How many students in the second middle school are not study maniacs? Isn't my sister? Am I not? Even Qiao Lin is. However, in this group of learning maniacs, I found the best-looking and best-studying one to be my girlfriend. ”

Qiao Nan not only resolved the embarrassment given by her aunt, but also showed off a wave of girlfriends by the way. And he didn't say a bad word, so he blocked his aunt to death. Jolene was so happy that she kept stamping her feet, thinking, it's still my brother's best!

The aunt can't take advantage of Qiao Nan, so she can only go to her eldest sister to find a sense of existence. Li Lanzhi and her grandmother were busy in the kitchen, and the aunt pretended to help and leaned lazily against the kitchen door like an overseer.

"Eldest sister, Qiao Nan's object used to be a student of No. 2 Middle School, you should know her, right?"

Li Lanzhi said without raising her head: "Isn't it just acquaintance? I personally went to the township below to recruit her to the second middle school, and I have been paying attention to her since she was not enrolled in school." ”

The aunt was very interested: "What kind of girl is it, can make Qiao Nan look like this?"

Li Lanzhi said: "Didn't Qiao Nan say it, among a bunch of learning maniacs, they are the best learners, and they are good-looking, and I don't know much about the others." I'm her teacher, not a private detective, so where can I ask so much?"

In fact, Li Lanzhi knows everything about Xue Dongmei's situation, and she has a lot of troubles, but she obviously doesn't want to talk too much about her sister. Li Lanlan couldn't say anything, and said wistfully: "Look at our Nan Nan, with good grades and handsome looks, what kind of girl can't be found? I originally wanted to introduce our dean's daughter to him, they are about the same age, that girl is still studying art in the UK, and now the person who says she is close to has broken through the threshold!"

Qiao Nan didn't raise his head, and said simply: "Nine times out of ten, I will stay in the army in the future, and my allowances can't support the eldest lady who studied art abroad." Auntie, thank you for your kindness, but you should introduce her to someone else!"

Li Lanlan was unhappy again, and said in a weird manner: "At the beginning, everyone who had about the same score as you went to a very good university, and after graduation, it was easy to find a job with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan." Even if you don't work, you can apply to go abroad for graduate school, and your life will be very good! Your parents are short-sighted and send you to a military school in order to save a few years of tuition. Don't look at it now, wait a few years, your classmates will be at ease in the big city, or directly settle overseas, just you are still in the army, with a dead salary, obeying orders every day, and you are seriously out of touch with society, even if you are tired of it, you can't leave, and you are left with injuries. That's why it's so important for parents to have a vision! We have to plan for our children as early as possible, so that we won't suffer losses in the future!"

Qiao Nan was watching an NBA game and didn't want to argue with her aunt, but she was really unhappy if she didn't stab others. Qiao Nan pretended to let the water cup out of his hand, and the water cup fell heavily on the table. With a loud bang, everyone was startled, and Li Lanlan was also taken aback.

Qiao Nan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Don't say anything else, if there is no me, how can those people in my aunt's mouth live freely?

Li Lanlan was stunned for a moment, and Li Lanzhi also stopped what she was doing and quietly listened to what her son said.

Qiao Nan peeled the peanuts and didn't look at the aunt, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for me and my comrades-in-arms, without our choice and dedication, would my aunt still be able to say these things here? As long as I wear a military uniform, even if I am a child who has not yet gone to school, they will call me 'Uncle PLA' with great respect, because they know that I am the one who protects them." My aunt is a university professor, so I don't even know about this, right? Wearing this military uniform, I will be extremely proud everywhere I go, and I will never feel inferior to others. My dream since I was a child was to be a hero, and I wanted to gallop on the battlefield and defend my family and country. Anyway, I am very grateful to my parents for supporting me to go to military school, and I can do what I want to do without fear to realize my dream. ”

Qiao Lin had already quietly applauded under the table, when did her brother's eloquence become so good? She secretly glanced at her aunt, her face was red and white for a while, and finally she said, "I am for your good, but you bite Lu Dongbin and don't know the hearts of good people," and wanted to take the door away.

Grandma came out of the kitchen in time, drank the second daughter, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go home, don't wait to see me here! every time you come!" said the aunt angrily.

Grandma reprimanded mercilessly: "Who told you to say those bastard words first? From childhood to adulthood, anything you can't get used to and makes you feel uncomfortable, you have to provoke it again." If others are a little stronger than you, you won't be able to swallow this breath, and you have to overshadow others to feel comfortable. Who's used to your faults?"

Li Lanlan rolled her eyes and said, "Where am I better than others? Obviously, anyone can rob me, and so can juniors! Do I still have any status in this family? Do they treat me as an elder?"

Grandma raised a few decibels again: "What about you? Do you yourself look like an elder? Nan Nan was admitted to the military academy and became a soldier, this is a great honor for our family, and he will be a great hero to protect the people in the future." You don't know how to be grateful, forget it, and keep ridiculing other people's choices, is this what the elders should do? Nan Nan is not wrong at all, you don't know how to be grateful, and you still stir up trouble everywhere, you are really not as good as a child!"

Li Lanlan's face couldn't hold back, and she was about to cry in the next second, but her grandmother continued: "You sit here for me, if you dare to slam the door and leave, then you won't see me in the future." I don't believe it, I can't cure you!"

During the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere of the wonton restaurant was very embarrassing. Li Lanlan is not leaving, nor is she staying, not like a young woman in her forties, but like a willful girl who has not grown up. Qiao Nan patted the peanut crumbs on her hands, pressed her aunt on the stool, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I was wrong just now, I said too much, I can't compensate you." You'll have to eat together later. I'll take Jolene out for a spin and I'll be back later!"

Li Lanlan was still gambling, but Qiao Nan picked up her crutches and called her sister like a puppy. Jolene obediently ran to her brother's side and picked him up.

Li Lanzhi asked uneasily, "Where are you going?"

"Go and play with Xu Wei, don't worry, he has a car. Qiao Nan replied simply.

"Linlin take good care of my brother, don't let him walk more!" Grandma carefully advised.

"Hmm. Jolene nodded vigorously.

After coming out of the house, Qiao Lin praised her brother in a hurry, saying that he was so beautiful with his aunt. Qiao Nan was not as full of fighting spirit as she was just now, but said lightly: "It's also me who is impulsive, she is an elder after all." When she said those words, she probably did feel sorry for me. ”

"Bah, I don't believe it! She just can't get used to seeing others better than hers! In the past, our family had to look up at her, and she was used to it, and now that you and your sister are promising, and our family doesn't rely on her anymore, she is about to die of misery, and every time she comes to our house, she is sneering, and her parents are almost fed up!" said Jolene.

"In the difficult years of our family, she also helped a lot after all, so we still have to be grateful to her, don't embarrass her too much, you know?"

"When the little sister-in-law started her business, our family gave her a lot of money, and I didn't see her grateful to our family!"

Qiao Nan smiled helplessly and said, "You are as knowledgeable as her, won't you become the same person as her?"

Qiao Lin wanted to say that her aunt used the whole family as a springboard to achieve today's results. If her parents could be as shameless as she was, why should they be poor for so many years and look up at her? But the time with her brother was too short, and she didn't want to waste her time on useless quarrels.

Xu Wei drove his mother's BMW and waited for them on the side of the road. He leaned on the body with his hands on his hands, and he really looked like the rich second generation (of course, he was, or even the rich third generation). He pulled up the Qiao brothers and sisters, drove the car onto Haibin Road, and drove towards Haida.

To their right is the continuous coastline, the sea is deep blue in winter, and the monsoon wind blowing from the north is so strong that the waves crash against the shore like a thousand layers of snow.

But the waves splashing on the car were not so beautiful, Qiao Lin covered her head in fright, and protested: "Brother Xu, change lanes, it's too dangerous." ”

Xu Wei said proudly: "Qiao Nan hasn't been back to Hong Kong City for a long time, I want him to get close to the sea!"

"Well, when I see this sea, all the memories come back to me. Qiao Nan pointed to the front and said: "There is the first beach in front, where your clothes were stolen, and you almost went home bare-chested in the end." ”

"Damn!" Xu Wei hurriedly hit the steering wheel, slammed on the accelerator, and fled the sea that made him ashamed at the speed of light.

They soon arrived at Haida, and Jolene was too familiar with Haida to be interested in visiting. She extorted a little change from her two older brothers and went to find snacks to eat.

Xu Wei took his buddies to visit his business, and he now has a store of about 20 square meters, which is full of digital products, as well as several printers and scanners. There is a milk tea shop contracted by him in the restaurant, and he will open a nail salon outside after the school starts. If you do it well, you may make more than 100,000 yuan a year.

Qiao Nan finally understood why Xu Wei was so angry, he had indeed become a popular figure in Haida now, but he also felt incredible - going to college to do business, and doing it so prosperously, this was unimaginable in his school.

After all, his extracurricular activities are only five kilometers, climbing over high walls, crossing obstacles, etc., and other than that, he plays football with his classmates, and he can't think of anything else.

After Xu Wei introduced his career, he said: "It's not that I'm hypocritical, I'm really feeling a little tired now, and I plan to put my business aside next year and go to the United States for a spin during the summer vacation." ”

"You're going to the United States?"

"Well, more and more people are going abroad to study abroad during the winter and summer vacations, and I want to go out and have a look. Of course, Xu Wei still hid his careful thoughts, but he didn't know Qiao Lu's thoughts yet, so he didn't dare to disclose his girlfriend openly like Qiao Nan.

But Qiao Nan was thinking that what my aunt said was really good, and the students who went to ordinary universities did have a more colorful life and more diverse choices. Haida is not a top university, there are so many opportunities, but what about the top universities? If Qiao Nan also applied for Tsinghua University at that time, would he have a different life?

Choices are only in a thought, but they may affect a lifetime.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Xu Wei shook his finger and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing, get me an MP3 and look at it. ”

The two big boys were picking and choosing in the digital store, and when Qiao Lin came back, Qiao Nan handed her an MP3 that had not been unpacked, and said heroically: "Use it carefully, don't break it." ”

Jolene was pleasantly surprised and asked, "This was bought for me?"

"Hmm. Qiao Nan nodded lightly: "I originally wanted to buy a better one, but I didn't have much money on me." Xu Wei said that this is also good, it has a large capacity, and it can be plugged directly into the computer without a data cable, which is very convenient. ”

Xu Wei said helplessly: "I wanted to give it to you, but your brother had to give money." You old Qiao family, you are too much about the rules!"

Qiao Nan smiled: "Anyway, you gave me a lot of discounts, which is much more cost-effective than me buying outside." It's not easy for you to do business, where can I ask for nothing?"

Jolene held the MP4 in her hand, her mouth deflated, and she was about to cry again. Qiao Nan hurriedly hugged her head and shouted "stop" several times. Qiao Lin buried her head in her brother's arms, choked up for a long time before saying, "It's better to be a brother!"
