CHAPTER XX
Autumn went to winter, and Qiao Jinghui wrapped up in a down jacket early.
I heard Chen Yuan say that she had a boyfriend, she was from the Atmospheric College, and she was still a national defense student, and because she spent more time on training than entertainment, the two did not meet frequently; Su Ling confessed to Jin in private, Jin said to give it a try, but the two didn't get over long together, and later Jin found a girlfriend in another school; Xiaoqi is quite close to Wang Xiaoxi, which directly leads to her obsession with playing games has also decreased; Xu Keyi was confessed by a schoolgirl, it was a love letter, this incident broke the hearts of a large number of young men, there were not many girls and there were no lesbians; Cao Jinjin seems to be still with Cai Hefeng, and he will go to him on vacation if he has anything to do; Hongchen unexpectedly went to Tibet, and he didn't know what happened to him after a long time of not being in touch; Hua Wen has basically not changed, there are still so many people who pursue her and love her, but none of them have succeeded, and the five of them have gradually slowed down, sometimes sending some food and drink, and the result is all in Qiao Jinghui's stomach.
Qiao Jinghui still has changed, since the end of her freshman year, she hasn't cut her hair anymore, more than half a year has passed, her hair has reached a length that can be tied up, although she still wears the previous men's clothes, but she finally has some girlish appearance, so it is rumored that someone has a crush on her, but she never asks, and she doesn't plan to pay attention.
In addition, the weight that was difficult to lose in the past quickly fell back to less than 50 kilograms, and it never grew back, even though Hua Wen fed her with five snacks all day long.
In the final exam, Qiao Jinghui didn't miss any of them, including all the professional courses and elective courses, and her roommates expressed their surprise at her.
After the final exam, the winter vacation came again, and the four people in the 6018 dormitory met at the train station, Qiao Jinghui and Xiaoqi were dragging heavy luggage, and Su Ling and Hua Wen were here to see them off.
After all kinds of instructions and broken thoughts, Qiao Jinghui and Xiaoqi were ready to enter the station, Xiaoqi looked at her phone frequently, Su Ling asked her what was wrong, but Xiaoqi shook her head and didn't say.
A few seconds before the pit stop, a figure suddenly pounced in front of them to stop the two.
Qiao Jinghui and Xiaoqi were both startled, and Wang Xiaoxi apologized out of breath and confused: "Yes, I'm sorry!" There was a traffic jam on the road, I came by bus, one stop in advance, I, I ran over! β
The three people except Xiaoqi looked at each other, what was he doing here?
Xiaoqi said: "Okay, for your sake, I'll forgive you, okay, we're going in, you all go back!" β
Wang Xiaoxi suddenly shouted solemnly: "Lei Qi." β
Xiaoqi was stunned.
Wang Xiaoxi continued: "Would you like to be my girlfriend? β
The four of them were stunned, why did they suddenly confess?
Xiaoqi: "Youβ"
Wang Xiaoxi looked at Xiaoqi with affection.
"I-well, don't look at me like that, I'm embarrassed."
"You promised?"
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
Wang Xiaoxi was overjoyed, and Xiaoqi also smiled, as if Qiao Jinghui, Su Ling, and Hua Wen, who were standing on the side of the extras, silently turned their heads away, this Nima is no less than the original for a single dog. Child. Bullet-like damage! Don't let people have a good New Year?!
When she got home, Qiao Jinghui habitually cut off contact with everyone again, and basically contacted everyone by phone, and she even picked up text messages.
"Mom, let's go to my grandmother's house for the Chinese New Year this year."
Qiao's mother wiped her face and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"I want to celebrate the New Year with them, and call my uncles, aunts and mothers all to be lively!"
"It's okay, but I have to tell them earlier, I don't know if they have to go out to visit relatives."
Qiao's father, who was watching TV, suddenly said, "Then bring that one over." β
Qiao's mother said, "Well, yes, that's it." β
That one? Which one? Qiao Jinghui was confused, adults always like to say "this" and "that" when they speak, these code words that only they know, Qiao Jinghui generally can't understand, so she asked: "What are you talking about?" β
Qiao's father said: "A few days before you came back, we came to a courier, we thought it was something you bought for us on the Internet, because the shipping address is Tibet, but after opening it, there are not only food but also some local things, such as bracelets, headwear or something." β
"Why didn't you ask me if I bought it?"
Qiao's mother said, "Because there's a note written in it!" Said it was sent to our home, and wished us a happy new year. β
Qiao Jinghui looked sideways: "You are not afraid of those hiding. Sent by the Independent? Maybe there are drugs, explosives, contraband, or something in there. β
Qiao's mother said, "Not really." β
"Why not? I didn't just tell them your phone number, how do they know your name, phone number, and address? β
Qiao's father was a little nervous, turned the express box out and checked it carefully, Qiao Jinghui also walked over to take a look, but he was stunned when he saw the sender's column.
How could it be Hongchen? I haven't been in touch for more than half a year, but what did he suddenly send so many things for?
But since it's him, it's not surprising, he's also a person who is engaged in network technology, and it's not easy to get her family's information from the school's education network.
So Qiao Jinghui stopped Qiao's father from continuing to check: "Don't look at it, the person who sent the things is my classmate, but now he is working in Tibet." β
"Lost reading?"
"No, he's already graduated, two levels above me." Qiao Jinghui changed the topic, "Then what are you talking about bringing to your grandmothers?" "I don't think I'll bring all the food with me.
Qiao's father pointed to a few of them, Qiao Jinghui nodded, and Qiao's mother said, "That note is in this drawer, you can take a look." β
Uncle Joe, Aunt Joe:
Happy New Year! These are some Tibetan specialties and gadgets, not a tribute! I hope my uncle and aunt are happy every day!
Didn't mention her at all, it was sent to her parents? Qiao Jinghui glanced at her parents, but they didn't know anything about his name, it was definitely impossible.
Qiao's mother came over and said, "This Hongchen is your senior?" β
Qiao Jinghui nodded.
"He likes you?"
Qiao Jinghui shook her head.
"Then how could he send us something for no reason?"
Qiao Jinghui shook her head again.
"What do other people look like?"
"It's okay."
"Is it high?"
"It's fine."
"How's your temper?"
"It's good."
"Study?"
"It should be fine."
"Where is his home?"
"Sichuan."
"Then why did he go to Tibet?"
"I don't know."
Seeing that Qiao's mother was still going to ask, Qiao Jinghui hurriedly stopped: "Mom, I don't like him, we are just classmates." β
Qiao's mother choked, sighed and said: "I don't want to talk about you anymore, before going to college, I said that I didn't play friends in order to concentrate on studying, and playing friends affects my grades, but now that you go to college, you still don't play, you don't have any experience in two days, how can you find a man who is really good to you in society?" β
"Mom, I'm only a sophomore."
"Time flies very fast, it's my junior year soon, and then I go out in my senior year, and then I'm a person in society, and I'm no longer in a simple school."
"I know."
"You used to be a boy and couldn't find a boyfriend, but now you have long hair, why can't you find it? Can you tell me why? β
Who said she couldn't find a boyfriend, but she just didn't want to find it...... So Qiao Jinghui said directly: "I don't want to look for them, I'm not interested in them." β
"Then someone in your dormitory is playing with friends, right?"
"There's one."
"Wow?"
"No, it's Lei Qi."
"Why don't you look for one? Oops, it must be too high-minded, and those babies can't look down on it! Alas, it's not good for people to be too beautiful. β
Qiao Jing Huimo, why is it that she can't find a boyfriend for her, and Hua Wen is that she doesn't want to find a boyfriend and her vision is too high to look down on those boys?
Is it my own mother? Isn't it my own mother?!
The next day, Qiao's father and mother went out to work, and Qiao Jinghui rarely got up early, opened her notebook and began to write a letter, a letter to Hongchen.
Hongchen:
Happy Zhanxin.
Mom and Dad are very happy to receive what you sent, thank you for being so kind, you have been working in Tibet for half a year, I heard that the conditions over there are very poor, how are you doing, are you still happy?
You didn't tell us all about going to Tibet before you left, and when I knew about it, it was already two months after the start of school, and Hua Wen told me, please forgive me for not feeling wrong about you not being in touch for a long time, because I am not a person who likes contact, so it is normal for others to not contact me for a long time.
Tibet over there. The independence elements are very rampant, you must be careful when you go out, don't always go to crowded places, don't go out at night, and don't eat things on the stalls.
But you're learning from us, and you should know how to protect your own safety while knowing how to protect your own information, and I don't need to talk about these little things.
In the first year of my internship there, I couldn't go home for the New Year, so I chose to write letters, after all, you haven't contacted me by phone, text message, email, etc. for so long, there must be a reason for you, and I basically don't look at those things during the holidays, and writing letters seems to me to be a very primitive but very sincere way to express feelings.
I believe that every choice that everyone makes has his own reasons, so please stick to your own reasons, do it well over there, and don't let this year's bitterness be in vain.
We're all fine here, just take care of yourself.
After writing, Qiao Jinghui tore another piece of paper and wrapped it to cover the contents of the letter, and then quickly packed up and went out before the sun came out, and took the bus to the post office to send the letter.
Qiao Jinghui spent the New Year at her grandmother's house as she wished, and the whole family basically came, Qiao Jinghui still sat at the same table with the children to eat and drink, and there was only one cousin and a cousin who were close to her age, the cousin was in her third year of high school, and her cousin was in the first year of high school.
My cousin is studying liberal arts, and Qiao Jinghui asked her what school she wanted to apply for after the college entrance examination.
My cousin said that she wanted to study in the police academy, Qiao Jinghui thought about it, when she applied for the college entrance examination, the police academy seemed to be in the early batch, and it was different from the general early batch, this I heard that once she reported, she would not have the opportunity to report the later batches, that is to say, if she was unlucky and did not be recorded, she could only go back and study another senior year of high school.
The worst thing is that the police academy has more people who apply than those who admit!
But since her cousin has this idea, Qiao Jinghui still explained to her what she knew, her cousin's current grades are similar to Qiao Jinghui's back then, and if you want to have no suspense in the college entrance examination, you still have to work hard.
After chatting about studying, my cousin asked again: "Cousin, how is the university?" β
This really asks her, if you want to talk about gains, do three funny but reliable roommates count? Finally has a boy who is worthy of her sincere liking, does it count? Does the miserable history of the freshman year count? Does it count if you learn to play games in an Internet cafΓ© and sing all night at KTV? Figured it out if you started to have long hair?
If you want to say that you have lost, you have lost the stupidity of the pastβis it a simple and stupid thought? Does it count as losing the right to pursue a boy you like for the first time? Lost your muddy life, and began to want to let yourself do as you pleased?
But if you say this, it must convey all negative emotions, and if your aunt knows about it, then you can't beat her?
So Qiao Jinghui pondered for a while and asked, "What do you imagine the university to look like?" β
My cousin thought for a while and said, "It's definitely not as busy as high school, you can skip class, you can stay up late at night to play games, no one cares how long you go online, you can go out with your classmates during the holidays, walk through the mountains and rivers of the motherland, you can cook in the dormitory when you eat, and besides, if you play friends in college, it's no longer called early love!" β
"You have a point, but it's not all like that." Qiao Jinghui decided to make her a little more realistic, after all, they are all very realistic people who yearn for "Eden" and "Ivory Tower", so don't be the teacher's so-called "It's easy to go to college, you can go to class if you want to, you can skip class if you don't want to, seven days a week can be a holiday, and you can fall in love if you want to fall in love" and something like that.
"It's up to you to be busy, if you think it's okay to go in and out of the way, you just need to complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and then fly low in the exam without failing the subject. The class is basically a roll call, but different teachers have different rules for roll call, and when the number of absenteeism accumulates to a certain extent, you will be disqualified from the exam, and then you need to retake it with the next class of students in the next year, and you need to pay a retake fee for retaking. As for falling in love or something, if you go to a comprehensive university, it doesn't matter, a lot of men, if you go to a liberal arts university, boys are like rare animals, and sissies account for the majority. β
The cousin expressed disbelief, but Qiao Jinghui was from the past after all, and she had to accept this sad fact.
"However, in fact, as long as you learn what you should learn well, listen carefully in class, and come down to complete your homework, you still have a lot of free time, which is enough for you to do other things, such as walking through the mountains and rivers of the motherland, such as ...... Love. β
My cousin laughed: "Be quiet, it's hard to let my mother hear it." β
Qiao Jinghui understood and made an OK gesture.
"By the way, why didn't my cousin-in-law come today?" The cousin, who had just entered his first year of high school, couldn't stand the fact that they continued to discuss the tragic events he was about to face in two and a half years, and he couldn't stand the fact that these two people, one who had already escaped from the sea of suffering, and the other who was about to get out of the sea of suffering, discussed the world that he could not understand.
Qiao Jinghui replied while sandwiching ham sausages for her cousin: "My cousin-in-law is pregnant, and she may have to stay there for a few days when she has a check-up in the hospital." β
"My cousin-in-law is finally pregnant, and my uncle has been talking all day long about other people's grandchildren or something, and their family hasn't moved yet, so it's time to stop."
"Yes, no wonder Uncle was so happy when he saw it today, I thought he drank too much before he came."
"Sister, how old are you this year?"
"It's going to be 21 in the second half of the year, what's wrong?"
"My cousin-in-law seems to be 23 years old this year~"
βsoοΌβ Qiao Jinghui squinted at her cousin, what do you want to say? Although my cousin is only 23 years old this year, I am pregnant, but my cousin and sister-in-law met in the years when I was working, and the two have been in love for two years and married for one year, and it is normal to be pregnant now.
"Sister, you'll be 22 years old after you graduate, you see your cousin and sister-in-law are almost 20 years old, you happen to be at this age now, why don't you find a boyfriend? That way, when you're 23 years old, you can have a baby, and then we can play with your cousin's children and your children! β
Qiao Jinghui: "......"
What the hell is this logic?
However, she is really not in a hurry to find a boyfriend, anyway, she is now stepping into the era of late marriage and late childbearing.
Two weeks later, Qiao Jinghui received a reply from Hong Chen.
Benefits:
I haven't seen you for so long, you don't seem to have changed much, you are still used to keeping your distance from me, you see what you say is not intimate at all, haha!
I'm very good here, but when I first came, altitude sickness was a bit severe, but after two months, it was much better, and the work I did here was basically confidential, so I couldn't reveal it to you, I was not busy with work, but I was not allowed to contact people outside from time to time.
I thought, if I hadn't contacted you for a long, long time, would you have reached out to me? It turned out that the wait was so long! And you wrote to me only after I took the initiative to refresh my sense of existence!
I strongly disagree with this!!
But you're really smart, and you chose to write letters directly, and it just so happens that we are allowed to send letters here, but they have to be checked to come and go...... All the true feelings of others have been checked and embarrassed to express themselves!
I'm staying in a safe place for the time being, and I haven't heard of anything to hide. Independence Violence. I don't usually go out much - the procurement is managed by a commissioner, so I can't find a reason to go out! turned a lively, cheerful and outgoing sunny boy into a taciturn uncle who doesn't go out of the door!
Alas, time has honed people......
The things I sent to your family are all I think are good after eating, so I saved them quietly, and the process of sending things is naturally very tortuous, but as long as you and your parents like it.
By the way, the good news is that after the first year, I will be able to go home on Labor Day, National Day, and New Year's Day in the second year! I'll see you then!
No, you're more idle than me, you can come and see me! Anyway, you haven't remembered my existence for so long, and you haven't felt a little empty? My presence is so low? I have so little place in your heart?
It's so sad.
By the way, at the end of the letter, I want to tell you, you remember to take good care of yourself, eat less snacks and eat more, stay in the bedroom and go out more, you must eat something in the morning, don't eat high-calorie foods such as chocolate before going to bed, alas, I want Baidu to copy it down for you, but I guess you don't have the patience to read it.
Forget it, you know what I mean anyway, remember to take good care of yourself, and when I come back, I must see a healthy Huihui!
Qiao Jinghui folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope, then put the letter in a drawer and stayed with the note.
In fact, she is really lucky, there are so many people in this world who care about her, even if some of them don't contact each other for a long time, they won't stop caring about each other.
She is used to being alone, but it doesn't mean that she rejects the existence of other people, otherwise a person would have died of loneliness a long time ago, or she would have been psychologically distorted and then retaliated against society.
Hongchen is a friend worth making deeply.
Time goes on and sometimes we want to stop and take a good look at the world, but no, you have to follow, you have to move forward.
Later, in the third year of college, the five gave up the pursuit of Hua Wen, because Hua Wen took the initiative to talk to him once, no one knew what they talked about, only that after that, the two of them were the same as before, they didn't need to say hello when they met, they wouldn't have the opportunity to eat together again, and they didn't ask each other about each other.
My cousin was admitted to Sichuan Normal University; I heard Chen Yuan say that she broke up and was with her high school classmates after a few months; Jin resumed being single, but Su Ling gave up on Jin, after all, the two had incompatible personalities, and Su Ling said that she herself said that she would not fall in love in college; Xiaoqi and Wang Xiaoxi are doing well for the time being; Xu Keyi found a job in Chengdu; There is no news about Cao Jinjin and Cai Hefeng, it seems that they broke up, and Cai Hefeng went to other places.
What the years give you may not be what you want, but it must be what you need, such as ...... A calmer heart.
Qiao Jinghui is used to not thinking deeply about a lot of things, treating study and other things as tasks, most of the time she takes tasks and completes tasks mechanically, as if suddenly the whole person is more silent, Hua Wen, Su Ling and Xiaoqi have all experienced it, but because it has no impact on her ordinary life, they don't know where to start.
One day, Qiao Jinghui was arrested and went to Hua Wen's house to accompany her, and Hua Wen's parents went out again, saying that she was bored at home alone, so she found someone to watch TV with her.
Qiao Jinghui shrugged, it doesn't matter, anyway, where to sleep is not to sleep, and it is quite convenient to take a bath and eat at Hua Wen's house.
The two of them were wearing nightdresses and didn't care about whether they would show their dots and leaned on the sofa, Hua Wen suddenly asked, "What's wrong with you lately?" Always sullen. No, it's been a long time since you've been in a bad mood. β
Qiao Jinghui was stunned: "Why do you suddenly ask this?" β
Hua Wen put her hands behind her head and put them on the back, stared straight into Qiao Jinghui's eyes without watching TV, and said, "You...... Do you have someone you like? β
"What's wrong?"
"Yes or no?"
ββ¦β¦ No. β
"Really? Don't lie to me. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, there is. "Qiao Jinghui is a person who is not good at lying, especially does not like to lie to people close to her.
Hua Wen sat up: "Who?" β
Qiao Jinghui was taken aback by her, but she can't just say that she likes Cai Hefeng, right? So he said with a smile: "Zhu Xuting." β
Hua Wen fell down again, and didn't say anything, I knew that what you liked was Zhu Xuting, I don't want you to remind me, I am really dead, and I am really nozuonodie, whyyoutry.
