This journey is too long, and no matter how good Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hong are in good health, they are also stuffed into dried pickles.

The twins didn't come with him this year, and Qiao's father felt that they had gone to the capital to do too little work, so it was better to stay and learn from him, run around, and see the world.

The twins were a little depressed at first, but they didn't have much opinion, they weren't people who could calm down, and they couldn't ask for it if they could follow Qiao's father.

Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongliang first found a state-run restaurant to eat, and then went to the small courtyard.

The small courtyard was unoccupied during the winter vacation, it was deserted, and a thin layer of dust fell in the house.

The brother and sister had to get up and do some hygiene, burn the kang, and then fall asleep.

Qiao Jiayue was woken up by the brass bell in the hall.

This peer was picked up by Qiao Hongliang from outside, hung in the hall, and connected a line to the courtyard gate.

When a guest comes, you don't have to shout at the top of your voice, you just need to pull the line.

Qiao Jiayue rubbed her eyes and walked towards the yard, and when she was about to pull the door bolt, she remembered to ask, "Who?"

"Jiayue, it's me. ”

It was Deng Ying's voice.

Qiao Jiayue opened the courtyard door and looked at Deng Ying, who was pushing a bicycle outside, "How do you know that we are back?"

She opened the courtyard door a little wider so that Deng Ying could push the bicycle in.

"I counted the time, thinking that you were almost there, so I came over and looked. Deng Ying said with a smile, in fact, after he passed the ninth day of the first month, he had to run here twice a day.

Qiao Jiayue didn't doubt him, she yawned, "I only arrived at noon, and the train was too stuffy." ”

She went into the kitchen to boil the water.

"Didn't your second brother go back for the New Year?" Deng Ying asked, "Do you know where he is?"

Qiao Jiayue shook her head, "He didn't tell us, is there anything wrong?"

"No, I'm just asking. Deng Ying shook his head, in fact, he had a guess in his heart, but he was not sure.

Qiao Jiayue lit the fire, feeling that the temperature in the kitchen had risen a lot, "Let's eat dinner here, I'll cook sweet potato powder." ”

Deng Ying nodded hurriedly, he would refuse only if he was stupid, "Okay." ”

He helped and asked questions from time to time, and the two got along warmly and harmoniously.

When Qiao Hongliang got up, he saw Qiao Jiayue and Deng Ying talking and laughing in the kitchen, and he felt a little unhappy.

He also went into the kitchen and participated in the preparation of dinner.

Qiao Hongliang didn't say much, but occasionally asked Deng Ying one or two questions, and the questions were very sharp.

Deng Ying had to think twice and be careful when answering, for fear that he would say the wrong thing.

He couldn't help but want to cry.

If his guess is true, Qiao Hongyuan doesn't know when he will come back, Qiao Hongliang won't help him, when will he be able to hold his daughter-in-law?

Qiao Jiayue didn't notice the competition between the two boys, the sweet potato powder was cooked, she filled a bowl by herself, and added some Qiao's mother's sauce, which was very delicious.

Deng Ying had eaten dinner, and Qiao Hongliang immediately sent off the guests, and he couldn't stay a little longer.

He rode his bicycle in frustration and rode in the cold wind on the way home, and I don't know where there was music playing on the tape recorder, and some laughter could be faintly heard.

I don't know which one is holding the ball.

This year, Deng Xianchang also brought back a lot of records, saying that they came from Hong Kong Island, and it is said that there was also a kind of dance, called disco.

Deng Ying went to see it during the Chinese New Year and felt that there was nothing fun, and Deng Xianchang and Mu Shuwan were not lively people, they saw that their son didn't like it, so naturally they didn't think about holding any dance party at home.

Many young people like it and think it's trendy, and he knows that these things will spread quickly, and he doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Deng Ying knows that Qiao Jiayue likes music, but will she like this?

He's not quite sure.

There will be a Peking Opera performance the day after tomorrow, maybe he can use this to ask Qiao Jiayue out.

Qiao Jiayue didn't know what Deng Ying thought, and the next day, she went back to school first.

Most of the people in the dormitory are there, and there are ordinary people who haven't gone home for the New Year this year.

Qiao Jiayue originally wanted to invite Hu Ailan and Hu Guoguo to the courtyard for dinner, but now that there are so many people in the dormitory, it is difficult to speak.

However, Hu Ailan had something to say to Qiao Jiayue, so she took the initiative to leave with her.

"This year's Chinese New Year is still very lively. Hu Ailan said that the students in the school who did not go home for the New Year gathered together, pooled some money to get a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, chatted, sang, danced, etc., and it was not lonely at all.

"Guoguo, one year older, in good health. Qiao Jiayue took out the red envelope and stuffed it into Hu Guoguo's hand.

"Thank you, Aunt Jiayue. Hu Guoguo smiled and thanked her, "In the new year, Aunt Jiayue will definitely be able to achieve a bumper harvest in studies and love." ”

Qiao Jiayue was stunned for a moment, and pinched Hu Guoguo's little face, "The mouth is so sweet, who taught you that." ”

"I've heard people say that. Hu Guoguo's eyes narrowed.

"Have you finished reading the two books I sent you?"

"After reading it, I will memorize it backwards. Hu Guoguo would be more cheerful in front of Qiao Jiayue, and began to repeat the contents of the book vividly.

Back in the small courtyard, Qiao Hongliang was not there, and Qiao Jiayue saw his rumors on the table, saying that he had gone to visit the teacher.

When she saw it, she couldn't help but pat her head, oops, I forgot to give the prepared gift to Deng Ying yesterday, forget it, I can only change the day.

Hu Ailan chatted a lot with Qiao Jiayue and talked about some changes in Beijing this year.

She said to Qiao Jiayue: "I really feel that change, and I am more confident in the future." ”

While the two were talking, they heard a shouting outside, and someone was selling vegetables.

Qiao Jiayue opened the door and looked at it, it was not a familiar person, but she still bought some, after all, there was not much stock in the kitchen.

"Are there more such vegetable sellers in Beijing?" asked Qiao Jiayue, who remembered that she didn't have one before she left.

"yes, it seems to have popped up overnight. Hu Ailan was also a little puzzled.

Qiao Jiayue was thoughtful, this is one of the changes that Hu Ailan said.

"Jiayue, if you're okay, I'll invite you to watch a movie in the afternoon and thank you for taking care of our mother and daughter all the time. ”

Hu Ailan touched the money in her pocket, which was the food expense that she and Hu Guoguo had discussed and specially saved.

Qiao Jiayue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she smiled and said, "I don't like to watch movies, you don't have to break the bank." ”

"What about watching a play?" Hu Ailan recalled Qiao Jiayue's hobby, and said uncertainly.

"I'd love to see it, but I don't have any shows lately. ”

"It's okay, we'll go to the theater and see the schedule later. Hu Ailan thought that this ticket seemed to be cheaper than a movie ticket.

When Deng Ying came to Qiao Jiayue with the two tickets and found that Jin She had made an appointment with Hu Ailan's mother and daughter, he was stunned.

He came back to his senses, got busy with the right time, and found that the repertoire he had set was in the afternoon, which happened to be staggered with Hu Ailan's.

Qiao Jiayue felt funny, but still agreed to Deng Ying's invitation, anyway, it was okay in the past two days, not busy. I want to talk about "Sixty Farming Fields" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
