A few days later, Mr. Cheng personally came to see the cherry tree and confirmed that it was alive, so Cheng Qiao decided to plant the tree. Because there were only a few trees, they did not disturb the neighbors, and Uncle Cheng Qiao and his wife went directly to the backyard of the old house to plant, but unlike the previous batch of small saplings, this time they planted adult trees two or three meters high, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to plant them.

After that day, He Yan came to Cheng Qiao every day to check in and report, which was more punctual than going to work. came more often, and was naturally bumped into by Cheng Qiao and her grandfather. The old man was so enthusiastic that he dragged him to the house for dinner, and He Yan was not polite, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and entered the room. Speaking of which, he is an only child, and there are no relatives in the family, and he feels very strange and warm about this kind of harmonious atmosphere of a large family, and quickly blends into it, following Cheng Qiao's cry of a grandfather, uncle, aunt and sister, completely self-familiar.

The next day came to the National College Entrance Examination Day, and Cheng Qiao's little cousin Cheng Shu was a candidate for this year. The uncle and his wife were more nervous than their daughter at school, and they made several phone calls to their daughter's dormitory, telling their daughter not to be stressed, not to be nervous and other clichés.

Cheng Shu has always studied well, and she is full of confidence in achieving good results in this college entrance examination, and in turn comforts her parents not to worry about her.

Zhao Chunjuan hung up the phone and walked around the house restlessly, the uncle sat silently in the corner, smoking one cigarette after another, making the ground full of cigarette butts, not to mention, the house was full of smoke, only the old man's throat couldn't stand it, and he ran to the yard with a fan to take a fan, and the golden retriever obediently jumped up and squatted beside the old man to rub the wind.

He Yan quietly asked in Cheng Qiao's ear, "Your uncle is usually so fierce in smoking?"

Cheng Qiao shook his head: "I haven't seen him smoking at home...... In the end, he couldn't look down on it, and persuaded the husband and wife who were suffering from anxiety, "Uncle, auntie, if you don't worry about your sister, let He Yan send you to the county early tomorrow morning to accompany you to the exam." ”

He Yan also agreed: "Yes, you can take my car over tomorrow." ”

The husband and wife looked up at the same time, and Zhao Chunjuan asked, "Isn't that bothering you?"

He Yan replied with a smile: "It's not troublesome." Anyway, I'm going back to the provincial capital early tomorrow morning, so I'll drop you two off on the way. ”

After He Yan finished speaking, Cheng Qiao immediately said: "I remember that the first subject of the exam starts at nine o'clock, right?" It seems that you have to enter the venue half an hour early, and if you want to see your sister, you have to arrive before eight o'clock, uncle, aunt, you have to get up early tomorrow......"

Before the words fell, I saw Cheng Yuzhong throw the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground, put it out with his foot, stand up and walk upstairs.

Zhao Chunjuan chased after her husband and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Didn't you hear that you have to hurry up early tomorrow? Of course, go back to your room and go to bed!" while saying that she didn't forget to tell Zhao Chunjuan, "You also rest early, don't waste time!"

Zhao Chunjuan answered and followed her husband's footsteps upstairs.

The next day, when the sky was bright, He Yan drove Dabai from the old mansion and found the couple waiting at the door of the Cheng family's courtyard with a bag, waiting to get on the bus, and I don't know how long they had been standing.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world! He Yan said in his heart, thinking of his mother's head hurting again.

Open the back door, let the husband and wife come up, and then send the person directly to the gate of the county high school before leaving.

For the arrival of his parents, Cheng Shu was a little surprised and more surprised. Zhao Chunjuan handed her daughter the breakfast she got up in the middle of the night to make, for fear of putting pressure on her, she didn't dare to ask, so the couple stared at their daughter to eat.

Cheng Shu took a bite of the bun, drank a mouthful of mung bean soup, and didn't forget to praise: "The steamed buns made by my mother are delicious, and the mung bean soup cooked is delicious...... probably after being closed in the school for a long time, he complained, "Dad, Mom, fortunately you came, you don't know that the things in the school cafeteria are really expensive and unpalatable, and the small shop outside is unhygienic." ”

"Come on, you're talking. Let's eat!" Cheng Yuzhong obviously cared about his daughter very much, and when he saw his daughter at this time, he made a stern face to maintain his dignity as a father.

Cheng Shu didn't know her father's virtue, and she didn't care, after eating a bun, she asked again: "Dad, how did you and your mother come over?"

Zhao Chunjuan took out a tissue and handed it to her daughter to wipe her mouth, and replied, "Your lobby sister's boyfriend sent us over." ”

"Wow, Sister Lobby's boyfriend, what does he look like, is he handsome, is he long-legged Oba?" Her mother's words activated the gossip in Cheng Shu's heart.

"Why are you asking so much, and you'll be able to see you when you get home after the exam?" Cheng Yuzhong said.

Zhao Chunjuan also echoed her husband: "Yes, you take the test well, He Yan has been to our house recently." ”

"Oh. Cheng Shu nodded, thought for a while, and asked his parents, "I'm going to take the exam for two days in a row, do you have to come over early tomorrow morning?"

The husband and wife glanced at each other, waiting for each other to give an answer.

In the end, Zhao Chunjuan said: "Let's not trouble He Yan, just find a hotel next to Shu'er and their school for a night, and when Shu'er finishes the exam tomorrow, how about we go home together as a family?"

Cheng Yuzhong listened to his wife's words and felt that it was feasible, so he said, "When Shu'er goes in for the exam, let's go to the hotel." ”

There is a cordon at the entrance of the school, and it is forbidden to approach the examination room.

One after another, candidates and parents came to surround the outside of the school with three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were also shrewd merchants pulling banners and handing out leaflets and stationery with signboards for sending exams. At half past eight, Cheng Shu entered the examination room, and Zhao Chunjuan waited outside the examination room, like many other parents. Cheng Yuzhong went to look for a hotel around the school, and after half an hour, he came back with his head drooping.

Zhao Chunjuan asked her husband, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yuzhong shook his head: "I found a few, and they said that the college entrance examination in the past two days has sold out the rooms." ”

"Why are the hotels in our county so pretty?" Zhao Chunjuan didn't believe it.

Cheng Yuzhong replied: "The waiter at the hotel said that the parents of other candidates had booked rooms several months in advance to accompany the exam......

"What can I do about this?" Zhao Chunjuan was a little anxious, "Why don't we go back today and come back early tomorrow morning......?"

Cheng Yuzhong thought for a while: "Did you bring your mobile phone? Let's call Qiaoqiao and see if she has any way?"

"That's the only way......" Zhao Chunjuan took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed Cheng Qiao's mobile phone.

Cheng Qiao was a little surprised when she received a call from her aunt, thinking that something had happened, and after listening to her talk about the problems she encountered, she said that she would leave it to her to find a way. After hanging up the phone, I flipped through the address book, and still called Qiu Peng.

The party that day was a big blow to Qiu Peng, he was listless at work, and the discerning person knew that he was out of love at a glance, and he was ridiculed by his colleagues. At this time, I received a call from Cheng Qiao, and my mood was extremely complicated, I didn't know whether to answer it or not, I hesitated for a long time, but I still pressed the answer button.

As soon as he heard Cheng Qiao's voice, his heart and liver jumped wildly, sweeping away the haze of the past few days, and when Cheng Qiao said that he would help find a hotel for the uncle's family, Qiu Peng's head nodded as if he was tinkering, and said again and again that there was no problem, and it must be done immediately.

When I hung up the phone, I remembered that someone had a boyfriend, and I was completely guilty of being so enthusiastic. slapped himself, and remembered that being a man must be trustworthy, and what he promised still has to be done. In the end, I looked through the address book and booked a luxury family room based on the relationship "June".

Cheng Shu took the exam all day, felt that everyone was confused, and when she left the examination room, her parents didn't ask her how she did in the exam, and took her directly to "June" to eat.

In June, the front half of the restaurant is used for catering, the stairs on the first and second floors are for individual customers, and the rest are private rooms. The latter part is a guesthouse for lodging.

Cheng Shu's family sat by the window on the first floor, watching the people and cars coming and going outside the window. Zhao Chunjuan encouraged her daughter: "I have to take two exams tomorrow, have a big meal today, and take the exam tomorrow!"

"Huh. Cheng Shu nodded, looking at the table full of delicacies and drooling, "Dad, Mom, you are so generous, you actually brought me to eat 'June', this meal is not cheap, right?"

Cheng Yuzhong replied with some uncertainty: "I don't know, it was your lobby sister who ordered the meal, and she also booked a room in the back." ”

After finishing the meal and entering the hotel room, Cheng Shu saw the two-meter-wide bed and exclaimed: "Wow, sister lobby, I love you so much!"

Spread out his arms and threw himself on the soft warm bed, let his whole body sink into the mattress, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Wow, it's so soft...... Much more comfortable than the school's one-meter-wide plank......"

The couple walked around the suite, and the two two-meter-wide beds were divided into two by partitions, just enough for the family of three to sleep separately. The bathroom is also spacious, with a ceramic toilet with an electric toilet lid and a large heart-shaped bathtub for massage surfing.

After walking around the room, the couple sat down on the sofa in the living room. Zhao Chunjuan glanced at her husband: "I'm afraid it's not cheap to stay for one night......"

Cheng Yuzhong also thinks so in his heart, "I'm afraid that Qiaoqiao will break the bank." ”

The eldest son's family was not there, so the old man and Cheng Yuan simply went to the old house to accompany Cheng Qiao and them to live for a night.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Jiaojiao hurried back to Cheng's house from Linjia Village with someone, but as soon as she entered the house, she was empty, the door was locked, and there was no one. was wondering, Cheng Yuan came from the old mansion to get something, and when she saw her own mother who had not seen her for many days, she called out in surprise: "Mom, why are you back?"

When Lin Jiaojiao saw her daughter, she grabbed her daughter and glared, "You girl, where did you die?"

"Mom......" Cheng Yuan was so frightened by her that she couldn't speak.

"Yo, big sister, this is your daughter?, come, let the aunt see ......" The woman who followed Lin Jiaojiao asked at the right time.

"Yes, yes......" Lin Jiaojiao's face changed immediately, pushed Cheng Yuan, and pulled her in front of the woman, "Eldest sister, you think my girl is good, right? ”

The woman who came back with Lin Jiaojiao, probably in her early fifties, wore this colorful dress, and a pair of shrewd eyes swayed on Cheng Yuan's face, just like looking at the goods, only making the timid Cheng Yuan frightened.

After a while, the woman said, "Yes, yes, she is also handsome, of medium height, not fat or thin, she is what men like......

When Lin Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Eldest sister, don't talk about it here, let's go into the house and have a good talk." ”

When she arrived at the hall, Lin Jiaojiao couldn't wait to ask: "You've seen my girl, now it's time for you to talk about the man's conditions." ”

The woman sat on the stool without speaking, and followed Cheng Yuan with a pair of eyes.

Lin Jiaojiao coughed twice and instructed her daughter: "Go to the kitchen to boil water, my mother won't even have hot water to drink when she comes back!"

Cheng Yuan bit her lip and walked slowly to the back.

Only then did the woman speak: "Big sister, you can listen well." The other party has a doctorate degree, and he is willing to pay a dowry of 300,000 yuan, and when he gets married, he will go directly to live in Kangaroo Country......"

"What? 300,000 yuan! so generous?" Lin Jiaojiao exclaimed a little out of shape, you must know that her husband works outside for a year, and in addition to expenses, he will give 50,000 yuan to the family, which is worth the money he has worked hard for several years. She was thinking about it, and she was a little moved, but she couldn't listen to a word of what the other party said.

Cheng Yuan hadn't gone far yet, and happened to hear what the woman said, and was shocked: this is telling her kiss......

She was only a teenager, and her mother wanted to find someone to marry her before she even talked about love, and she instinctively rejected her, and walked to the kitchen in a daze, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and she opened the backyard door and ran in the direction of the old house as soon as she gritted her teeth.

Cheng Qiaozheng and Old Man Cheng were taking care of the flowers and plants in the backyard, and when they saw Cheng Yuan running in out of breath, they asked in surprise: "Yuanyuan, didn't you go back to get something?

Cheng Yuan ran to him and shouted in a crying voice: "Grandpa, sister lobby, my mother wants to tell me ...... kiss."
