Chapter 181 The Road Gifted by Fate
Min Rou swiped the article written by Wen Jing on the Internet, and when she was in the video with her parents, she sneered: "I really didn't expect that the Tubaozi family would be praised by others." ”
Song Yizhi hurriedly drank her, and Min Rou didn't dare to talk nonsense. But the eldest daughter's words gave Song Yizhi some inspiration, and he heard that the business of the wonton restaurant was not good recently, so he wanted to help. But before helping, he wanted to ask Qiao Jianjun what he meant, so as not to hurt his self-esteem.
So, he went to the wonton restaurant for dinner and discussed with Qiao Jianjun: "Big brother, this year, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and publicity is very important. My friend works at Hong Kong City TV, and he's planning a food show, so I'll talk to him and ask him to come here and shoot an episode, do you think it's okay?"
"That's good, but ......"
"Nothing, but, as long as you agree, I'll take care of the rest. Song Yizhi was full of confidence, and said: "You are a person, you are too outside." You have done so much for the families on both sides, I will do you a small favor, you must not be burdened. ”
Qiao Jianjun was very moved and said, "Then I will thank you in advance." ”
"We're a family, don't be so polite. ”
Although Qiao Jianjun would be anxious because of his brother-in-law's excellence, he had to admit that dealing with his brother-in-law was the most comfortable. I don't know if he is sleek or naturally warm-hearted, in short, he can always take care of other people's emotions at all times, no wonder his career will be so big.
The wonton restaurant was about to be on TV, and Qiao Jianjun called his little daughter very angrily and asked her if she wanted to come back and show her face.
Jolene asked, "If I show my face, will I be given a little more pocket money?"
“…… You little comrade, why do you think about pocket money all day long? Can your consciousness be a little higher?"
"Not at the moment. ”
"This opportunity was won by your brother-in-law, and it's good that the TV station didn't ask us for money. In a word, will you come back?"
"I was on TV several times when I was doing aerobics, and the small Gangcheng TV station couldn't accommodate me anymore. So I decided not to go back, the apricots of the fourth grandmother's house are about to ripen, and I have to sell them with her. ”
Qiao Jianjun smiled and scolded a few words of "little rabbit cub", and stopped forcing her.
By the end of June, the business of the wonton restaurant was a bit more lively than in previous days, and a considerable number of customers were tourists who came to Hong Kong City to see the sea. Qiao Jianjun thought to himself, eighty percent of that girl's travel strategy has worked, and she really has to thank people next time.
Even if her strategy can only bring a few people to eat, it is also the affirmation of others for herself, and it is a stimulant injected into herself when she is cold, which gives her great encouragement.
Two days before the results of the college entrance examination, the TV reporter came, and the child was dressed in a new look, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. As a supernumerary member of the wonton restaurant, Lao Dong also put on new clothes, and he has been on TV many times, but this time he is the happiest.
A female journalist who was very interested in the layout of the restaurant said to the camera: "We can see that there is a blue and white checkered tablecloth under each table, a layer of glass is pressed on it, all the napkins on the table are still printed, there are four small flower baskets hanging on the wall, it is early summer, and there are roses in each basket, and oh, there is a bookcase with a lot of comics...... It can be seen that the owner of this shop is really full of life interest!
Qiao Jianjun proudly introduced: "My father is a village cook, and if there is anything in the township, he is invited to go over to take charge." So, when I was a child, I gave him a hand, and he said that everything in the world is nothing more than the word 'heart'. It wasn't until I had my own shop and decorated it that I realized what it meant to be "attentive." ”
The female reporter nodded again and again and asked, "What about these books? Are you usually a person who loves to read?"
"I'm a rough guy and don't read much, but all three kids like to read. Especially my son, who bought all the books with his pocket money, and put them here after reading them. The second middle school students came to eat, and they often watched while eating. ”
The female reporter said: "You said just now that you have three children, which is very rare in today's family, can you introduce us to it?"
Qiao Jianjun turned out the family photo, couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and after talking about Qiao Lu and Qiao Nan's situation, he said: "My youngest daughter's grades are not as good as her brothers and sisters, but she also works very hard, and she also had a serious illness last year, so in my mind, no matter what kind of score she gets, she is the best." ”
The reporter was very emotional and said to the camera: "This ordinary restaurant hidden in the old city has cultivated such excellent children. Parents of candidates, come here and rejoice, maybe your child will be able to get a particularly good score. ”
Because it was in the critical period of the college entrance examination scores, the leaders of the station felt that the content of this issue was very good, so they broadcast it the day before the results. It's okay now, on the day of the score check, there was a queue outside the Jixiang Wonton House, and Qiao Jianjun and they couldn't get busy.
In the face of the results of the college entrance examination, no matter how rational parents are, they will become superstitious, and they will keep silently thinking -- this daughter went to Fudan and then to Stanford; this son is the top science student in the No. 2 Middle School and is an excellent special operations officer. Come here to pay your respects, maybe your own children can also get good grades.
Qiao Jianjun was quite helpless about this, he thought, his daughter hasn't come back to say goodbye yet. In the afternoon, there were not so many guests, and he called Jolene: "You still can't check the results?"
"I just went to the market with my fourth grandmother to sell apricots, and I was about to die of exhaustion. ”
“……”
Qiao Jianjun didn't know what to say, could it be that she really failed the test and didn't care at all?
In the afternoon, Qiao Nan also called to ask her sister how she did in the exam, Qiao Jianjun said: "I see that your sister is about to become a monk, and she has no desires. ”
“…… Forget it, it looks like I can't wait. I'm going on a business trip this time, I don't know how many days it will take to come back, and after checking the results, let her leave me a message. ”
Before hanging up the phone, Qiao Nan also added: "No matter what the test is, let my mother not nag her, she has worked hard enough over the years." ”
"You know, your mother is calmer than her. ”
After Qiao Lin helped the fourth grandmother sell apricots, she followed the neighbor's van back to the village. She didn't want to eat, she didn't even want to eat the donkey meat that her grandmother bought, she didn't watch TV, even if her grandmother transferred her to the Central Channel 5, she didn't take a nap, and she flipped a copy of "How Much Do You Know About the Flowers in Your Dreams" to make a loud noise.
All day at noon, she went out and went in, washed her face and feet, but she couldn't be still. Finally, he finally got into Grandma's arms and whispered, "Grandma, I'm actually scared." ”
Grandma hugged her tightly and said, "I know." Your parents don't ask you for grades anymore, but my family Linlin is also a competitive character, and she is unwilling to fall behind others, these grandmothers know it. ”
Qiao Lin drilled again: "Grandma, I have been stupid since I was a child, and it takes longer to learn everything than others, I have been so tired over the years, but I am afraid that my grades will not be good......"
"Don't be afraid, God has arranged everyone's paths, I said a long time ago, Linlin is a blessed person, God will not treat you badly. ”
"My aunt always said that Min Jia was escaping from reality, so Min Jia lived in my house and didn't leave, because she didn't want to listen to my aunt's nagging; Grandma, I'm really scared and don't dare to face it. ”
Grandma patted her gently and said, "The college entrance examination is just the first hurdle for you to become an adult, and it is normal to be afraid." Whether the outcome is good or bad, as long as you get past it, you can grow a lot. ”
After listening to her grandmother's words, Jolene curled up in her arms and gradually fell asleep. She slept until the evening, she didn't check her grades, and her mother called: "I have passed a line, but it is only about 20 minutes, and the school in Beijing is still a little hanging." ”
Qiao Lin didn't know how to describe her mood at this time, this score was normally low and acceptable, but she still wanted to cry - she could have done better, if there were no accidents, she could have been admitted to Beijing Foreign University.
Mom said on the other end of the phone: "Your dad and I are still quite happy, but if you apply to a school in Beijing, this score is still a bit hanging." ”
"I don't care, I just want to apply to a school in Beijing, aren't you an expert in the college entrance examination? If you pick a major for me, I'm going to Beijing." Jolene played with a crying voice, and I remember that this was the first time she had played tricks on her mother, and after the trick, she hung up the phone arrogantly.
Grandma was sitting next to her, and Qiao Lin cried: "Grandma, I can't get into the Beijing Foreign Academy!"
Grandma was very distressed and asked, "Do you want to repeat your studies for another year?"
Jolene shook her head frantically: "I don't want to, I just want to see the outside world as soon as possible." ”
"In that case, let your mother help you choose a school!"
"If you can't get into Beijing Foreign University, this will become a lifelong regret......"
Grandma brushed away her tears and interrupted her: "You are still so young, where do you have the regrets of your life? Who has no regrets? It's just that most of the regrets can be made up." Your aunt is such a ruthless person who wants to stay in Shanghai after graduation, but she didn't stay! Your uncle was the first in the county in the college entrance examination, but he was sick and couldn't go to school. Look, who has no regrets in life?"
"But then again, your mother has three good children with you, and your father loves her husband so much, and her work in Hong Kong City is going well, isn't this also quite satisfying? Not to mention your aunt, who married such a good family, had a pair of twins, and lived a very happy life; your uncle did not finish college, but found a caring person like your aunt, and a lovely Baoqing, who taught and wrote poetry at home, and there was another world!"
Jolene was greatly comforted, stopped crying, and asked, "Grandma, what are those irreparable regrets?"
"You also have an uncle, who was born without support, and died in my arms, and I will never forget it, and your grandfather, who wants to go to Beijing with me, turns out that every year there are different things at home. As soon as the Chinese New Year's Eve arrives, your grandfather will say that he will definitely go to Beijing next year, but he will not go the next year. Year after year, until he was gone......"
This time, Qiao Lin hugged her grandmother and said, "Grandma, don't feel uncomfortable, the matter of going to Beijing will be covered by me." ”
"Ouch, Linlin is the most well-behaved and obedient, but she doesn't go anywhere, just stays by her grandmother's side, and I'm very happy. ”
"Grandma...... Then my little regret is nothing, right?"
"Of course! When you look back in another three or four years, this is a trivial matter! My family Linlin is smart and willing to endure hardships, and you are also like your sister to take the postgraduate examination and be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University!" Grandma stroked Qiao Lin's head and said: "There have never been so many wishes in the world, we are all ordinary people, and we can't bear such great blessings." ”
Jolene snuggled into her grandmother's arms and nodded thoughtfully. She thought, fate arranged such a road for her, there must be its deep meaning!./14_14979/
