Yan Xiaoqin is a curious person, she bought the book "Chrysanthemum Fragrance".

The book is about a very sad love story, she is at a sentimental age, she may be sentimental for a while after reading it, Chen Qiaoshan didn't say much, people will make all kinds of different attempts sooner or later, otherwise they will never be truly mature.

Getting along with people is a process of continuous running-in, and there will inevitably be such and such problems in the middle, especially between couples, stumbling and stumbling are always inevitable.

Chen Qiaoshan knew in his heart that for Yan Xiaoqin, it was best for him not to interfere too much, she was a smart girl, as long as he was on the side, it would be good for both of them.

There are really few places in the city that are suitable for the two of them to hang out, Chen Qiaoshan proposed to go to the movies, Yan Xiaoqin didn't agree, just dragged him around the mall, looking east and west.

"Look at that!" Yan Xiaoqin suddenly pointed to the outside of the supermarket and said.

Chen Qiaoshan looked in the direction she pointed, this is the main entrance of the mall, the two of them just came in through the side door, and they didn't notice that there was a stage here, and someone was performing on it.

"Let's go out and have a look!" Yan Xiaoqin pulled Chen Qiaoshan and proposed in a low voice.

Chen Qiaoshan looked through the glass curtain wall and said, "Okay, go out and have a look!"

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the mall, a heat wave suddenly hit, and Chen Qiaoshan felt like he had entered the stove.

The stage at the entrance of the mall is not big, it feels like a grass platform team, just to attract customers, Chen Qiaoshan feels a little awkward, the huge shopping mall just makes such a platform, it feels a bit cheap, and after putting it aside, I have to find a little star to support the scene.

A very young man is singing on stage, his style is very exaggerated, Chen Qiaoshan is used to the fashion of this era, and he can't help but not get used to it, since he can't change the world, he can only change himself, he can now turn a blind eye to all kinds of strange shapes.

The people on the stage are singing about Shuimu Nianhua's life with you, this song is now popular, and it can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys.

I have to say that Tsinghua University is a very amazing school, and it is also a wonder that a comprehensive university among the top two in the country has produced so many musicians.

The person on stage sang quite ordinary, Chen Qiaoshan felt that he should have no future in singing, and it would be difficult to become famous with that voice.

Yan Xiaoqin listened very carefully, not caring about the bright sun above her head at all, Chen Qiaoshan took two steps back slightly, stood still behind her oblique side, she looked back at him, and smiled like a flower for a while.

The two of them listened to such a song, gave applause and left, it was too hot, and it was that rushing voice, they really couldn't stay.

It's not easy for anyone to live, on a hot day, it's such a simple stage, and there is not even a cover, the singer may have done it deliberately, after all, there is no one in the audience, and he just earns hard money.

Yan Xiaoqin asked, "Is the song good?"

"The song is good, but that person is not as good as me!" Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile.

Yan Xiaoqin said angrily: "You know bragging!"

"I've never bragged, I've always had one thing to say!" Chen Qiaoshan said with a little sneer, but he was thinking in his heart that maybe Feng Xiaogang had already taken Yan Shouyi around.

"Then you go up and sing it to me!" Yan Xiaoqin obviously didn't want to let go of the opportunity to squeeze him.

"Doesn't this ruin people's jobs? I'll sing it to you in private. ”

Yan Xiaoqin asked, "Then when did you say it?"

Chen Qiaoshan thought for a while and said, "I'm waiting for your birthday, I'll give you a surprise when the time comes!" Yan Xiaoqin's birthday is the ninth day of October, Chen Qiaoshan remembers it.

Yan Xiaoqin calculated in her heart that the two of them should be at school on her birthday, thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What surprise do you want to give me?"

"It's all a surprise, of course I can't tell you now!"

Yan Xiaoqin didn't continue to ask, she was still very happy, thinking of his promise, she couldn't help but be a little impatient in her heart.

At noon, Chen Qiaoshan found a special restaurant, and he is still very particular about eating.

Of course, the two of them were not extravagant and wasteful, so they ordered two special dishes and asked for a soup, and Chen Qiaoshan specially asked for a piece of rice.

He was a native of Hubei Province in his last life, and he was used to eating rice as a staple food, and later went to college in Lu Province, and after more than ten years, he gradually adapted to pasta, but when conditions permit, he still tried to choose rice, after all, the taste from childhood was not so easy to change, and now he doesn't care, I feel that rice is no different from pasta.

"Do you like to eat rice?" Yan Xiaoqin was very curious, Henan Province is one of the largest wheat producing areas in the country, and pasta is the staple food on the table.

"Okay, why don't you have a bowl too?"

Yan Xiaoqin looked at the bowl of rice in front of him and said worriedly, "I can't eat so much!"

Chen Qiaoshan couldn't cry or laugh, this was only a small bowl, her amount of food was really small, he smiled and said: "It's okay, I can't finish the rest!"

Yan Xiaoqin couldn't help but glance at him, stared at him and didn't speak, Chen Qiaoshan was helpless, he was just joking just now, "Okay, divide me in half in a while, okay?"

Yan Xiaoqin gave up and said, "I rarely eat rice." ”

Chen Qiaoshan smiled, a person's staple food habits are developed since childhood, it is difficult to change, he has lived in Lu Province for eleven years, although he is also used to pasta, but he can't stand it if he wants to eat steamed buns all the time, he always has to eat some rice, otherwise he always feels that there is something shortcoming, and his girlfriend also knows his habits, often pasta and rice rotate.

Chen Qiaoshan thought of Chen's mother, she is also from Hubei Province, and has lived here for more than 20 years, although the two places are not more than 100 miles apart, but the living habits are very different, and it is not easy to think about it.

I have the impression that no one in the family eats rice, and the Chen family does not grow rice, so it is naturally impossible to go out to buy rice, but I only remember that when Chen's mother occasionally goes back to her parents' house, she will bring some yin rice back, which is a local specialty specially prepared by her grandmother.

Chen's mother only steamed that bowl at a time, and yin rice is not a serious staple food, and there are many children in the family, so each person only gets a little bit to taste fresh.

Chen Qiaoshan was very emotional, it was not easy for Chen's mother to come, a woman married to another province, and after so many years, she must have suffered a lot of grievances.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Qiaoshan went to the city hospital, and he wanted to help Xiao Chen explore the situation first.

Yan Xiaoqin said that she could ask her mother for help, Chen Qiaoshan didn't let her, she didn't need it today, she could ask Su Qiong for help when she had surgery, after all, there was no "nine prohibitions" in these years, and it was quite common for doctors to take kickbacks and receive red envelopes, and no acquaintance really dared to go to the hospital casually.

Chen Qiaoshan hung up an expert number, now there are not so many doorways in the hospital of later generations, the reception is a middle-aged male doctor in his forties, Chen Qiaoshan took out the medical records he brought, and introduced the general situation, the doctor is still very responsible, asked in detail, and finally came to the conclusion that the situation is not optimistic, it is best to send people over as soon as possible.

Leaving the hospital, Yan Xiaoqin asked about the situation of Xiao Chen's family, and Chen Qiaoshan explained, but she didn't have any special reaction.

Chen Qiaoshan was a little curious, but after thinking about it, he understood, Yan Xiaoqin's mother is a doctor, so she has naturally seen too many life and death, and as for Xiao Chen's family, this situation is naturally not unusual, and after seeing too much, he will get used to it.

Chen Qiaoshan is also a little helpless, it will take several years for universal medical insurance, for the current rural families, the ability to resist the risk of disease is almost zero, and the situation of Xiao Chen's family is a living example.

There are too many such families, Chen Qiaoshan can help Xiao Chen, but he can't help others, he knows the truth of moderation, and the current situation of the Chen family has improved slightly, and he really can't stand the toss.

Chen Qiaoshan understands the current situation, Xiao Chen once helped him, it may seem insignificant, people still have to be a little grateful, since he already knows, he still has to help Xiao Chen.

came out of the hospital, the time was not early, Chen Qiaoshan rode Yan Xiaoqin home first, and when he arrived at the gate of the community, Chen Qiaoshan was not ready to stay longer.

Yan Xiaoqin saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly asked, "Will you come to the city again in the near future?"

Chen Qiaoshan thought for a while and said, "I guess I won't come, what's the matter, are you in trouble?"

"It's okay, just ask!" Yan Xiaoqin was a little disappointed, it was only July now, and the two might not see each other until school started, and she was a little reluctant in her heart.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at her a little disappointed, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you miss me, call me, and I'll come to see you again!"

Yan Xiaoqin couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "You are too shameless, who misses you!"

"What do you want to do! Chen Qiaoshan said with a hippie smile, with the blessing of his emotional intelligence in his two lives, he naturally put his skin down.

Yan Xiaoqin felt very ashamed, she didn't expect Chen Qiaoshan to be so bold, but she didn't secretly rejoice in her heart, the little loss just now was gone.

The two of them were playing here, attracting the attention of many passers-by, but neither of them cared.

……

Chen Qiaoshan got on the shuttle bus for the return trip and went around to the town, he thought about it, and after getting off the bus, he went to the grain and oil store in the town first.

"Boss, do you have any rice?"

"Yes, the loose is called a piece of four, and the whole bag is twenty pounds, and there are one hundred pounds, and twenty pounds are twenty-six, and one hundred and two pounds. ”

The fat boss of the grain and oil store was very neat, Chen Qiaoshan thought about it, and bought a bag of twenty catties, the price of rice was still very cheap in these years, thinking about the future generations, how could it be three yuan up, of course, the currency depreciation at that time was worth a lot.

This bag of rice is for Chen's mother, she should still love rice, Chen Qiaoshan can't give too good things now, it's okay to carry the bag of rice back to show filial piety.

Chen Qiaoshan finally wanted to show it, but he didn't expect God to run up to make fun.

He waited for half an hour at the entrance of the town, but he didn't stop a passing car, and the whole person was about to be wilted, so he simply gritted his teeth and walked home with a bag of rice.

Twenty catties is not heavy or light, Chen Qiaoshan's two arms are exchanged, and he can't stand his arms halfway through, thanks to his tempering during that time in the brick factory, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get here at all, he really can't carry it, he simply put the rice bag on his shoulder, not to mention, it's much easier than carrying it.

Chen Qiaoshan gritted his teeth and walked for ten miles, and there was no car passing by in the middle, until he entered the village, a tractor came out from behind his buttocks, and he seemed to feel God's deep malice towards him.

The tractor stopped beside him, "Dashan, what are you doing, what are you carrying, why are you tired like this?"

"I bought a bag of rice", Chen Qiaoshan waved his hand, and he really didn't have much strength to talk nonsense.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Qiaoshan almost fell down tired, soaked with sweat, Chen's mother and her three younger sisters were at home, and hurriedly surrounded him.

"Second brother, what are you carrying?" asked the third child.

"Rice!" Chen Qiaoshan said concisely, the key is that he doesn't have much strength anymore.

The fourth asked, "Why are you carrying a bag of rice back?"

Chen Qiaoshan was speechless, "What are you talking about, of course it's eating!"

Xiao Wu is a discerning person, brought a large cup of herbal tea, Chen Qiaoshan hurriedly took it and poured it, and finally relieved himself, he made a decision in his heart, he must be kind to Xiao Wu in the future.

Xiao Wu muttered, "Second brother, why are you buying rice, I don't like to eat it." ”

Chen Qiaoshan was so angry, Xiao Wu was really not polite to him, he said angrily: "I didn't buy this for you!"

Chen's mother asked, "Second child, don't you have food at home, why are you buying bags of rice?"

"Mom, didn't you eat rice every day with your grandmother before, I bought it back to honor you!"

Chen's mother was only Chen Qiaoshan tossing around blindly at first, but when she heard her son's explanation, she suddenly reacted, her son has really grown up, and he actually knows that he cares about himself, thinking of this, she felt a burst of sadness, and the ups and downs of more than 20 years came to her heart together, and her eyes were red directly.

Is it so easy for a woman from another province to marry away from home? Not to mention the difference in life between the two places, it was difficult to communicate with people in the first few years after getting married, and only she knew in her heart how much hardship she suffered and how many tears she shed.

The four brothers and sisters were all dumbfounded, Chen's mother is a strong character, she has never seen her cry for so many years, Chen Qiaoshan is also a little at a loss, "Mom, are you okay?"

The stronger the personality, the more emotionally up, the more difficult it is to help herself, hearing his inquiry, Chen's mother couldn't help but hug her son's shoulders and cry loudly.

Chen Qiaoshan can somewhat understand Chen's mother's mood, she may be venting the grievances accumulated over the years, Chen Xi and Chen Wan don't know why, but they are older, just surrounded by anxiety, Xiaowu is young, when she saw Chen's mother like that, she immediately panicked, and then began to cry, and after a while, she cried more sadly than Chen's mother.

Chen Qiaoshan felt that his head was bigger, what kind of excitement did this little aunt and grandmother make here, but the result of things was often unexpected, Xiao Wu's crying calmed down Chen's mother's emotions.

Chen's mother wiped the corners of her eyes and said angrily, "What are you crying about?"

Xiao Wu also stopped her breath when she saw that Chen's mother was not crying, but she was obviously too sad just now, and she would still be sobbing and choking, and said aggrievedly: "I can't help it when I see you crying!"

Chen Qiaohe couldn't help but be convinced, Chen's mother listened to the words of the little girl, she felt angry and funny, but she was more happy in her heart, she was not so happy today when she won the second exam, her son felt sorry for her, and her daughter was also intimate with herself, and her efforts over the years finally paid off.

Chen Xi asked in a low voice, "Mom, are you okay?"

Tao Xiuying looked at the sons and three daughters around her, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I'm okay if you're okay!"

Chen's mother is very simple, her four children are the biggest achievements in her life, she doesn't ask them to have much success, she just wants the family to be safe!
