"Is this a New Year's gift for me?"

Xia Xixi excitedly took the small black bag, and when she opened it, there was a bracelet woven with red string. There is a small pendant underneath the bracelet, which looks quite cute.

She had also received a lot of gifts from Lu Ziming and Aunt Zhou before, and this kind of gift was not a novelty.

Just because I like what people give, I give a lot of different meanings.

"It's cute, then I'll always wear it on my hand!"

"Since you like it, do you have any New Year's gifts for me?"

Qiu Yan took a step closer and lowered her head slightly, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

Xia Xixi took a big step back with a little weakness, and didn't expect to meet him at all, so he didn't prepare any New Year's gifts for him.

She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and turned her face to the side.

"I ...... I don't know what to send you, so there's nothing to prepare. ”

"Huh...... I knew you only wanted me to give you a gift, and you didn't have any New Year's gifts for me! Can I ask you for a gift? It's what you have right now. ”

"Huh?"

Xia Xixi couldn't help but feel a little strange, except for the clothes he was wearing and a Weibo that was his shoes, he didn't even have a hairpin to take out.

"If you see something, if you can take it, I'll give it to you! You shouldn't have taken a fancy to my scarf, so I'll give it to you! ”

As she spoke, she was about to remove the scarf from her neck.

This scarf is still the fur I just bought when I came back, and the furry is very comfortable. She likes it, so she wears a scarf every time she goes out.

Qiu Yan quickly stretched out his hand to stop, "I'm not talking about this kind of thing, I'm talking about you...... You're what I want the most. ”

Xia Xixi glanced down at himself and hurriedly took a big step back, clasping his hands in front of his chest.

"That's not good, I'm not an adult, you can't make such excessive demands!"

"You're mistaken, I'm not telling you what to do with me now, I mean ......"

Qiu Yan took a big step closer, put his hands on Xia Xixi's shoulders, and his eyes and tone were extraordinarily gentle.

"You must study hard after you start school, time flies quickly, and there is more than a year to go before the college entrance examination. Only if you get good grades and go to a good university, will the two of us have enough reason to be together! Otherwise, if you let your parents know about the relationship between the two of us in school, and you didn't get into a good school, they should misunderstand that it was because you were with me, and you didn't pay attention to your studies, and they would definitely not agree to the two of us. ”

Xia Xixi lowered her head slightly, and her hands held her clothes tightly.

Although she has made great progress in her studies now, she also understands it in her heart.

This kind of score can only barely get into one university, and it is difficult to get into a good university.

Although it has taken a lot of effort to achieve such results, it will become more and more difficult to achieve great improvements.

She can't guarantee that she will be admitted to a good university in the future, at most, she will be admitted to college.

"Qiu Yan, if I can't get into a good university, will you dislike me and don't want to be with me?"

"How can you think that? As long as you have me in your heart in the future, I will try my best to be with you, but I also want you to have a better future in the future and not let your uncle and aunt worry. ”

After hearing this, Xia Xixi's heart became much more comfortable, and there was no great pressure on whether to get into a good university or not.

After all, parents don't really care about what happens in school, and if they don't say it themselves, they will only ask if their grades have improved or regressed.

Xia's mother knew that her daughter's grades had improved a lot all of a sudden, and she was very happy to be admitted from 200 in the whole grade to the top 50 in the whole grade.

If it weren't for the conflict between my father, the family would have been very happy during the New Year. It's a pity that it backfired, and I don't know what happened.

Xia Xixi complained about some of the things that happened at home.

Qiu Yan comforted a few words, in order to prevent Xia Xixi's parents from worrying, the two had to separate after not staying together for long.

Xia Xixi was still a little reluctant, and the two of them finally met but had to part in a hurry.

"It's okay, school is less than a week away, and we'll be able to meet soon!"

"That's right, I'll be at school two days early."

"Then I'll go, and I wish you a great rest of the days!"

"Then you should be careful on the road!"

Xia Xixi then happily returned home.

Unexpectedly, just two or three days after the New Year, my father packed his things and planned to buy a ticket tomorrow to go back to the place where he worked.

Xia Xixi was even a little happy in his heart, at least the atmosphere would be much better after the absence of his father in the family.

Don't worry about doing something wrong, saying something wrong, upsetting your father, and causing anger and reprimand.

Early in the morning of the fourth year of junior high school, Dad got in the car and left.

Xia Xixi boldly complained to her mother that her father was not.

"What's the big deal that makes him nervous for the New Year, I really don't know what he's thinking about!"

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but I can't blame your father, if it wasn't for something important, your father wouldn't be like this."

"Mom, Lu Ziming and I also fell out because of this matter, I told him okay, old and dead don't get along, don't you really know what the reason is for a little more?"

"This ......"

Mother Xia frowned deeply, a little hesitant.

"Actually, I know a little bit about it, but it's not too specific."

Xia's father used to be a big businessman for several generations, but when he arrived at his grandfather's generation, he began to decline, and by his father's generation, he had completely become an ordinary person.

He has worked diligently outside all his life, never asked for anything, and never done anything out of the ordinary.

The ancestor once left a pair of antique bottles. There was once an antique collector who wanted to buy a bottle for a few thousand dollars.

Father Xia was reluctant to sell the antiques that had been passed down for generations, and a few thousand yuan was not worth much, so it was better to stay at home as a souvenir.

In the second year of his business, Uncle Lu urgently needed money to borrow money from everywhere. Xia's mother took it upon herself to take the pair of bottles to Uncle Lu and asked him to sell them for some money for emergencies.

Another two or three years passed. Uncle Lu's business is getting better and better, and he only mentions the matter of repaying the money. He said that the bottle was sold for 20,000 yuan at that time, and in order to express his gratitude, he gave them an additional 50,000 yuan with interest.

Father Xia was very angry when he knew that the bottle was taken out by his wife and given to others, and after a few years, he didn't say anything.

Later, he received 50,000 yuan in compensation, and these things were completely over.

However, when he was working, he saw his family's ancestral bottle from his boss and asked the boss about the origin out of curiosity.

It turned out to be the old version of the bottle that he bought from Uncle Lu a few years ago, and it was purchased for 200,000 at that time.

The value of 200,000 more than 10 years ago is quite different from that of 200,000 now.

If they had those 200,000 more than 10 years ago, they wouldn't have been as ordinary as they are now. Even if you take 200,000 yuan and casually buy a house in a normal or county town, the current value will increase several times.

The most hateful thing is that Uncle Lu deliberately deceived their family after he got rich in business, saying that the bottle was only sold for 20,000 yuan, and he pretended to be a good person and gave them 50,000 yuan.

What Uncle Lu did was so unkind. If it weren't for Father Xia's accident, the boss would have seen his ancestral bottle in front of him, and Uncle Lu would not have admitted to it.

Even in the face of confronting, Uncle Lu was still very hypocritical, and he was unwilling to admit that he had deceived people and taken advantage, and said that the boss remembered it wrong.

Otherwise, it means that the pair of bottles are not their ancestral bottles, but just bottles that look similar.

However, Uncle Lu's lies are so low-level that even a three-year-old child can hear the problem when he gets rid of the loophole. Father Xia naturally refused to be reconciled, so he kept being angry.
