Chapter 13 Old Mother Qiao
Qiao Zhicai is leaving.
He had never been so attached to a place. Standing in the neat attic room, Qiao Zhicai silently turned around and sat down on the bed. He stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around the soft quilt pillow, and even his breath was filled with the smell of Lijie. A secret happiness gradually rose in my heart.
Qiao Zhicai was holding the quilt and enjoying himself.
Xiao Song suddenly came.
Xiao Song bought a lot of daily necessities with him yesterday. At this time, while tidying up, he chirped and asked. "Brother Qiao, the weather is going to warm up, why did you buy leather gloves and a warm water bag?"
Qiao Zhicai put the warm water bag into the desk drawer, "This is for Lijie, he will use it next year." â
Xiao Song asked again: "The silk scarf was also bought for Mr. Xiao Qiao?" â
Qiao Zhicai was wearing a white shirt, and at this time, he grabbed a silk scarf and tied a bow tie for himself, and said with great satisfaction: "What do you know?" It's the most fashionable way to dress up. The third child brings it up, not to mention how beautiful it looks. â
Xiao Song admired Qiao Zhicai's demeanor up close, and felt that Brother Qiao's fashion taste was really worrying.
Qiao Zhicai despised Xiao Song's aesthetics. He hurriedly put the washed fruit on the table.
Xiao Song looked at his face. asked, "Brother Qiao, otherwise don't go." â
Qiao Zhicai was hiding the sulfonamide bottle in his coat box. Hearing him say this, he stopped in a daze. "Then what's the matter, I still have to go back to Shanghai."
Xiao Song handed him a ferry ticket. "Don't be late tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Qiao Zhicai put the ticket away. "Don't send me anymore. I'm afraid you'll cry your nose. â
Xiao Song is young after all, and when he thought that he would not be able to see the kind Brother Qiao in the future, he was indeed a little sour, so he turned around and ignored him.
Qiao Zhicai smiled and handed him a handkerchief, and it happened that Lijie also came back. He asked, "Why are you still crying?" â
Xiao Song was embarrassed, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Qiao Zhicai said: "What else? I can't bear to do it! Alas...... The only downside to me is that I'm too charismatic. â
Qiao Lijie felt that his shortcomings were as many as the sand of the Ganges, which was simply immeasurable. However, for the sake of the second brother's good mood, he didn't say it to annoy.
Qiao Zhicai gave Lijie a handkerchief and said, "Why don't you cry too?" â
Lijie shook off his handkerchief to cover his face, "Second brother, you think too much!" â
Qiao Zhicai laughed. "America is good! Maybe I'll be back in a few days! Is it raw once and cooked twice? â
Qiao Lijie looked at him from under his thick eyebrows, to see what he meant. However, Qiao Zhicai didn't care, and Lijie's heart sank. I guess he's talking and playing.
After studying the tickets for a long time, Qiao Lijie said: "This boat departs from Boston Harbor, passes through Seattle, Yokohama and then Hong Kong, and finally returns to Shanghai. â
Qiao Zhicai said: "I have long wanted to go to Hong Kong, so I just got off the boat to have a look." â
Qiao Lijie advised: "Now there is a chaotic war everywhere outside, don't run around casually, just go back to Shanghai." â
Qiao Zhicai replied in Shanghainese, "Oh, Allah knows." You'll tell me. â
Qiao Lijie never knew how to help, so he just sat and watched him pack his luggage. Qiao Zhicai took a gray coat and said, "Lijie, you don't like this coat very much, so I'll leave it for you." â
Qiao Lijie was not very interested, and nodded with a calm face.
"You're here alone, but you have to rest and eat well. Something send me a telegram. The telegram is a little more expensive, but it is really fast. Qiao Zhicai looked at his younger brother worriedly. I bought you vitamin pills, and it's in the second drawer. You remember to eat. â
Qiao Zhicai was verbose and instructed him. The reluctance in Lijie's heart almost came to naught, and he couldn't wait to throw the noisy second brother on the ocean ship with an airdrop now.
Qiao Zhicai also found that he was like a broken-mouthed old mother, but his words were about to overflow, and he couldn't extricate himself from nagging.
"You won't be sending me off tomorrow afternoon." Qiao Zhicai turned his back to Lijie. "It's a hassle to send it back and forth. You'll graduate in two years, and you're going back to Shanghai.
Qiao Lijie did not say anything. I thought, two years... It will take more than 700 days and nights!
Qiao Zhicai said again: "You are now big-hearted, and the second brother can't control you." Your own love life, look at it yourself. â
Qiao Lijie was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head to look at him. However, Qiao Zhicai didn't see his brother's melancholy gaze, he carried the box and put it at the door, and ran to the terrace to smoke on his own.
By the next morning, Qiao Lijie was helping to substitute for the class. But someone called him and said, "Qiao Lijie, something has happened to you." The professor is looking for you. â
The professor said with a serious face, "Miscue, a student has accused you that you have been arrested by the police for misconduct. The professor, apparently unconvinced, asked him, "Are you really arrested?" â
Qiao Lijie saw Jia Yihe, the Chinese student who was scolded in class yesterday, standing aside. So Hengmei snorted at him.
"It was a misunderstanding, and I wasn't arrested."
Jia Yihe said indignantly: "The guards at the school gate have seen it. Dr. Joe, don't you even admit it? â
Qiao Lijie's face was cold and untouched.
Jia Yihe also said: "A person with a bad character like Dr. Qiao should not stay in school, especially in the laboratory. â
Qiao Lijie raised one side and looked at the student defiantly. "Oh? So what do you want? Is it necessary for schools to be full of mediocre talents like you who can't even understand formulas? â
Jia Yi's face flushed with anger. "The school should expel such people, which is a damage to the reputation of our school."
The professor was on Qiao Lijie's side, but the dean was in a dilemma and told him to stop his work and go home to rest. Wait until the matter is investigated before resuming the class.
Qiao Lijie said, "Mr. Professor. I'm really innocent about this, and we're at a very important stage of the experiment, and we can't slow down the progress of the experiment for my own sake. â
The professor was also helpless, "Since you weren't arrested, wouldn't it be okay to let the arrested person stand up and explain?" The school will also handle this matter carefully. â
Qiao Lijie didn't want his second brother to be criticized, so he stubbornly pursed his mouth and didn't speak.
Gossip always spreads fast, and it spreads throughout the school like wings, and when Qiao Lijie walks out of the laboratory with something, someone points at him.
Qiao Lijie's face sank like water, and he walked through these gossips with his back and long legs, and went home without looking back.
At this time, Qiao Zhicai faced the port of Boston. Looking at the wind and clouds on the wide sea, my heart is full of thoughts.
Xiao Song still came to see him off, but his face was full of confusion and he didn't dare to look up at Qiao Zhicai.
Qiao Zhicai saw him dodging and asked, "What?" Anything to say? â
Xiao Song pondered for a long time and said, "Anyway, you're leaving." Brother Qiao, there are people in the school who are embarrassing Mr. Qiao. They also said they were going to suspend Mr. Joe from school. â
George was stunned for a moment and asked, what's going on? You make it clear.
Xiao Song muttered, "They won't let me tell you...... It's because of the ...... that you were arrested. â
Qiao Zhicai listened to him and stomped his feet angrily. "Okay, dare to bully the third child of our family."
He picked up his luggage and walked quickly outside the port, and Xiao Song shouted behind him, "Brother Qiao, where are you going?" The ship is about to leave. â
Qiao Zhicai threw his hat on the ground. "What to open, whoever likes to sit will sit, and the master will not leave."
Qiao Lijie received the news too late, he only knew that the second brother ran to the dean in anger.
Old Tang's face was full of surprise, and he described it to him vividly. "Lijie, your second brother is really a scene person. It's amazing. â
Qiao Lijie was full of annoyance. He rushed to the school as fast as he could. As soon as he entered the dean's office, he saw his good second brother sitting on the sofa holding a handkerchief and weeping.
Qiao Zhicai ignored his younger brother and stared at the old man in front of him with tearful eyes. said: "I was also wronged! The United States as an equal and free country. Could it be that when Chinese people are sick, they don't even have the right to buy medicine for treatment? How could there be such a person with such a black conscience who framed the third child of our family. â
Qiao Zhicai bowed to the dean like a weak willow and said, "Mr. Professor, please be sure to make decisions for Lijie." â
Xiao Song acted as an entourage on the side, and before the words landed, he made a translation in a muttering voice.
The head of the department was exhausted by Qiao Zhicai's words at this time, and he was also moved by his wonderful performance. He nodded and said. "Not bad. We will take this matter seriously. Give Mr. Qiao Lijie an explanation. â
Qiao Zhicai pressed the corners of his eyes aggrievedly and sighed. "I was also a well-known figure in Shanghai, coming to an open city like Boston in the United States. was unjustly imprisoned...... I must report this to the consulate. Get justice. And the school also wants the false accuser to apologize as soon as possible and restore my brother's reputation. â
The head of the department saw that Qiao Zhi was a handsome and neat young man, and he was also very sympathetic. "That's natural."
Qiao Lijie listened to the more he talked, the more unspeakable he became, and hurriedly went up to interrupt the second brother. I would like to apologize to the old professor.
The dean was a white-haired and thin old man who was over half a hundred years old, and at this time he said generously and lovingly: "Mr. Qiao Lijie. Since this is a misunderstanding, there is no need for you to suspend classes. Besides, your mentor has been asking me for leniency...... The lab can't do without your help! â
Qiao Lijie solemnly thanked the dean. The second brother, who was serious about the performance and out of control, walked out quickly.
George was dragged out by him for more than ten meters, and finally stopped under an acorn tree.
It was getting late, and a bright moon was faintly visible in the dim sky. Qiao Lijie angrily questioned the second brother. "Aren't you gone? What are you doing back? â
Qiao Zhicai also pinched his handkerchief, "If you don't want to go, you can't do it!" The consulate hasn't expelled me yet! Why are you so fierce? â
Qiao Lijie crossed his arms and glared at him. Qiao Zhicai shook off the veil: One person does things and one person does. I'm definitely going to take responsibility, I can't drag you down! â
The two of them were talking, but someone came over angrily and pushed Qiao Zhicai. Scolded: "Shameless. You're hurting me! â
Qiao Zhicai was caught off guard and followed his strength, and it happened that there was a steep slope next to the tree. He screamed, fell to the ground, and rolled down. He didn't forget to drag the person who pushed him in his busy schedule, and the two of them fell directly into the ditch on the hillside like a gourd.
Qiao Lijie was dumbfounded, and hurriedly followed to rescue the second brother.
I don't want Qiao Zhicai to be brave, and he has already turned over and climbed up and beat the sneak attacker. The man was pressed by him in the stinking ditch, constantly struggling, splashing water. Qiao Zhicai rode on the man's back and grabbed his hair, and slammed the hammer.
Qiao Lijie finally saw who was coming from the picture of chickens flying and dogs jumping. shouted, "Second brother, Jia Yihe, don't fight." â
Na Jia Yihe is not a good type, and he still has the strength to make a counterattack and want to overthrow Qiao Zhicai. A group of school police officers arrived at this time to join the battle. Qiao Lijie, a weak scholar, wanted to help, but was squeezed farther and farther away by these tall school police.
He saw his second brother being picked up and pushed to the ground by the school police. For a while, his heart was on fire, and he shouted: "Don't fight!" â
ââââââââââââââââââ
Qiao Lijie: "The tiger doesn't threaten you, I'm hello kite!" â
Brother Qiao, I can write another hundred chapters every day......
It's just that no one is looking at it and feeling like they're entertaining themselves...... āļ(Tã T)āļ
