Chapter 013: Making Close Friends
I stayed at my grandmother's house for a whole day, and then came home after dinner in the evening.
When passing by the door of Jin Gui's house, Qiao Mingle unintentionally glanced in, and saw a thin and small girl chopping firewood in the yard.
The axe was heavy, and the girl's movements were struggling.
At this time, the door opened, and Jin Gui, who had drunk wine, staggered out of it, raised his leg and kicked at the girl, kicking the girl to the ground, and cursing something in his mouth.
Perhaps it was like this that the girl didn't cry, and there was no superfluous expression on her face, so she just got up and continued to chop wood.
That girl is Jin Feng, the future Olympic champion, and the person who the provincial leaders have personally met.
Don't bully young people into poverty, that's probably the reason, because no one knows what will happen in the future, maybe the person who used to be the most disdainful of him will become the person who can't catch up with him in the future.
Qiao Mingle raised his feet to leave, but found that Kang Chuxiu did not follow, and turned back to pull people.
The young man's face was gloomy, and he obviously couldn't get used to Jin Gui's actions.
"You can control her for a while, can you control her for a lifetime?" Qiao Mingle said lightly: "You have spoken for her for a while, Jin Gui will definitely pour all his anger on her when you turn around, and her life will be even more difficult." ”
Kang Chuxiu followed Qiao Mingle to his home sullenly, and said in a deep voice after a while: "You little broken place, there are really a lot of bad things. I miss home, although my grandfather is overbearing and always forces me to do things I don't want to do, but compared with the people around you, I realized that I was so happy before. ”
Boy, is this what you mean by confiding in your heart? Qiao Mingle slowed down, waiting for him to continue.
Who knew that he only said this sentence, and then there was no more words.
Although Qiao Mingle asked Kang Chuxiu not to meddle in his affairs, after returning home, he still picked up two hot bean bags and came out to look for Jinfeng.
Jin Feng didn't expect that Qiao Mingle, who had never dealt with her and always bullied her, would come to her, put down the axe and walked to the staff, and asked, "What are you telling me to do?" ”
Qiao Mingle stuffed the bean bag into Jin Feng's hand, "It's still hot, you can eat it quickly." ”
Jin Feng looked surprised, his eyes were a little red, and he sniffed, "You, how do you know that I haven't eaten?" ”
Jin Gui and his wife treat her badly, they beat and scold her at every turn, and starving is a common thing, and no one in the village knows it.
"Eat quickly, don't let your family find out", Qiao Mingle didn't answer, only raised his eyes to look into the yard.
Jin Feng was also really hungry, so he didn't ask any more questions, and ate it in three or two clicks while holding the bean bag.
"You continue to be busy, I'll come to play with you tomorrow", Qiao Mingle was worried that Jin Gui would get angry when he came out and saw that Jin Feng didn't work, so he didn't dare to delay, and left after watching her finish eating.
When she was in danger, Jin Feng gave her warmth, and personally went to Nangou Village to support her, so that she could live a comfortable life at her in-law's house for a few days. Now she can help Jin Feng is limited, just a little hot food.
In the next few days, Qiao Mingle really went to find Jin Feng every day.
Jin Gui asked Jin Feng to saw and split a cart of wood a year ago, and she had no choice but to go out with Qiao Mingle.
Qiao Mingle didn't care, every time she came over, she quietly brought her some hot food, watched her eat, and then accompanied her to say a few words and went back.
After going back and forth, the relationship between Qiao Mingle and Jin Feng has improved a lot, and Jin Feng is no longer afraid of her, and she always smiles whenever she comes over.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival, the old house is small, and it can't accommodate so many people, so each family still spends Chinese New Year's Eve in their own homes, and only the first day of the New Year passes to pay New Year's greetings.
On this Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Qiao Laosi's family was very depressed.
Qiao Jinglin hadn't figured out what kind of person his daughter-in-law was, Hu Meiqin was thinking about how to prevent the money in her hand from falling into the hands of Mrs. Qiao, Liu Xiuxiu was still angry about Kang Chuxiu's words that day, and she had been sullen and didn't like to talk for the past few days.
During the reunion festival, Kang Chuxiu thought of his family and friends in the distance, and he also looked like he was happy.
Qiao Mingle didn't even keep the New Year, and he didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala, so he covered the kang early and lay down facing the wall.
Qiao Jinglin only thought that she was asleep, turned the volume of the TV to the minimum, and watched pantomime around the black and white TV when she didn't sleep.
In fact, Qiao Mingle didn't sleep at all, she felt weird and uncomfortable.
She thought of her parents in the second life.
She was still the only one in Song's ten years, and no matter how busy her parents were during the Spring Festival every year, she would try her best to put down what she was doing and go home to spend the holiday with her.
The family is harmonious, even if the coarse tea and light rice are happy. The family has their own thoughts, even if they smile at each other, this day is not good.
Two lives, different understandings, now she lives another life, although she has set a goal, knows many things and many people can no longer go back, but every time she thinks of those things and those people, her heart is inevitably unhappy.
After surviving the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, after eating dumplings at home on the morning of the first day of the new year, the family changed into the latest and greatest clothes, and went to the old house to pay New Year's greetings to the elderly.
Kang Chuxiu was still wearing his military coat, pulling Qiao Jinglin's big cotton shoes, and walking at the end.
Qiao Mingle slowed down a few steps and walked to his side.
"Do you want to call home? Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I always have to pay a New Year's greeting to the elders," Qiao Mingle said.
Kang Chuxiu's expression was still gloomy, and he craned his neck and said angrily: "They didn't come to pick me up, why should I call!" ”
Having said that, when passing by the store, he still borrowed money from Qiao Mingle and went in to make a call.
When he came out again, the gloom was swept away, his face was smiling, the dimples on his cheeks were deep, and his handsome facial features were even more dazzling.
"The old man of our family said that he would pick me up on the fifth day of the new year", Kang Chuxiu leaned into Qiao Mingle's ear and said in a low voice: "I also asked him to bring more gifts."
"Where is your home?" Qiao Mingle asked gossiply, "Why did you leave home and appear in the wilderness?" ”
These questions have been asked to him by the family, and those he can see, such as Grandpa Qiao, and Grandma Qiao, will fool around, and those he can't like, such as Hu Meiqin and Liu Xiuxiu, simply ignore it.
It was the first time Qiao Mingle asked, and she just asked casually, and she didn't expect him to reply. She can see that this Kang Chuxiu is a big young master who does his own thing, even if he is under the fence, he feels that he is the emperor and goes out on patrol, he acts according to his mood, and never looks at other people's faces.
Unexpectedly, Kang Chuxiu was silent for only a moment, and then replied a little awkwardly: "My family is in J City, and when I came out this time, I actually ran away from home." ”
Qiao Mingle was surprised and exclaimed, "Running away from home......"
Kang Chuxiu hurriedly made a gesture of silence, but fortunately, Qiao Jinglin and the others were already some distance away from them, and they didn't hear them speak.
"Can you not be surprised, I won't tell you anything like this!" Kang Chuxiu said with some annoyance.
