Not long after the results were announced, the invitation letter of the national training team was sent to Shen Qingmeng's mailbox. Earlier than the invitation, it was the good news of the school.

When Shen Qingmeng walked to the school gate early in the morning, he saw two teachers pasting a piece of red paper on the bulletin board from a distance.

I was thrilled to win the Gold Award, but I didn't feel very proud. When she saw the math competition on the bulletin board, Yang Li's name was only in the ranks of the second prize, and suddenly realized that the weight of this gold medal was heavy.

seems to have taken this award too lightly, so that they didn't give good news to Lao Shen and Ms. Qin.

Shen Qingmeng took a photo of the good news on the bulletin board at the school gate and sent it to Lao Shen.

Halfway through the morning reading class, I received a congratulatory message from Professor Han. Shen Qingmeng thanked him politely, and Professor Han said sourly, Lao Shen posted this photo in the group message of their institute early in the morning, and then explained that it was sent wrong in the congratulatory and envious message of his colleagues. That smug tone is almost not widely advertised, everyone come and envy me.

From Professor Han's description, Shen Qingmeng imagined that Lao Shen looked proud, and pretended to be quiet here, only boasting: "Yes, continue to work hard." ”

This gold award can be said to have caused a sensation in the school, not only people who don't know each other have to say congratulations when they see Shen Qingmeng, but even the teacher has to nod and praise when he sees her. For a time, Shen Qingmeng's reputation in school was far better than when he refused to be assigned to a class in the first grade of the early love examination.

At the flag-raising ceremony, the director of education specifically mentioned that the whole school should learn from Shen Qingmeng.

Ji Xinghe naturally received news from Shen Qingmeng, but the Liang Cup was in the white-hot stage, and the two didn't even get on the phone.

After entering December, in addition to preparing for the national training team, Shen Qingmeng actually felt very relaxed.

The southern city in December is wet and cold, but it doesn't snow much. At the end of the month, at Christmas, although there are no snowflakes, the merchants are very festive.

Christmas trees with small gifts are placed in the windows along the street, and the mall staff have changed into red uniforms and Santa hats.

Ms. Qin and Lao Shen are not in the habit of celebrating foreign festivals, but the weekend before Christmas is the winter solstice, and Ms. Qin calls Shen Qingmeng and asks if she wants to go home to eat dumplings.

Every year on the winter solstice, because it is next to Shen Qingmeng's birthday, it is always a day for the whole family to reunite. Now Lao Shen has returned to Beijing, leaving only Shen Qingmeng adrift.

Dumplings are always eaten, and Shen Qingmeng decided to go home without hesitation.

On Friday night, Jiang Nan picked up Shen Qingmeng from the airport.

The first time Ms. Qin saw Shen Qingmeng, her eyes turned red. Pulled Shen Qingmeng over and touched her face: "Why are you so thin, the competition is very hard, my mother asked Jiang Nan to go to Nancheng to take care of you." ”

Jiang Nan wiped Shen Qingmeng's neck with a look on his face, and Shen Qingmeng smiled: "Where do you need Brother Nan to go, I don't want to leave home when I go to college in the future, I can't let Brother Nan follow me all the time." ”

Shen Qingmeng had ideas, but Ms. Qin never insisted on it, and Jiang Nan was finally saved from the fate of "exile".

The winter solstice was Saturday, and early the next morning, Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, and Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Qin, and Grandma Qin arrived at Shen Qingmeng's house.

The heating at home was turned on very much, and Shen Qingmeng wore rabbit pajamas and rolled dumplings with Ms. Qin and Lao Shen.

As soon as the four old men arrived, before they could sit down in the living room, they called Shen Qingmeng in the kitchen.

Lao Shen poked Shen Qingmeng with a rolling pin: "Go quickly, otherwise your grandfather and grandfather will scold us for a while." ”

Shen Qingmeng responded to the call of the living room, and patted the flour on his clothes while washing his hands: "Anyway, you can't run away if you are scolded today, and you don't expect me to intercede for you." ”

Sure enough, Shen Qingmeng walked out of the kitchen door, called "grandparents, grandparents, grandparents", and then kissed each of the four old men on the face, making the four old men laugh.

My grandparents were from the south, and they came to the capital to work hard when they were young, and finally settled down. So Shen Qingmeng called them "grandparents" instead of "grandpa".

Grandma and grandma sat on the couch on one side of the coffee table, and grandpa and grandpa sat on both sides. Shen Qingmeng also sat on the couch, between the two old men. Grandma touched Shen Qingmeng's face, and even pinched the rabbit ears on her pajamas, and said very distressedly: "My eggs are so thin, but I have to make up for it." ”

Grandpa answered, "Isn't it hard to study?" ”

This question was asked to Grandpa Shen's heart. Grandpa Shen is a retired professor from Jingcheng University, and he still knows a lot about the current competition. immediately explained to my grandfather: "Dandan just won the national gold medal of OTIN, let me tell you......"

What kind of competition is Grandpa Shen giving to the three old people to popularize science OTIN, how difficult it is, and how difficult it is to get the gold award, the three of them were amazed.

My grandparents have an inexplicable love for children who are good at studying, otherwise they would not agree to marry their only daughter, Ms. Qin, to Lao Shen. And his grandparents are both retired professors who have stayed abroad, although Shen Qingmeng's computer field is not the same major as them, but it does not prevent him from being proud.

The direct performance is that Grandpa Shen took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his colleagues and friends to show off. Shen Qingmeng finally knew how Lao Shen's bad habit of showing off her grades in the group of colleagues came about.

Grandpa even wanted to hold a celebration banquet for Shen Qingmeng to celebrate. Shen Qingmeng hurriedly stopped: "Grandpa, I have to go back to school on Monday, and it's too late to have a celebration banquet now, when it's time for the New Year, you can tell Grandpa Zhou and Grandpa Chen and them, don't you envy them to death." ”

"This is good, this is good," I don't know what scene my grandfather made up in his brain, and he immediately smiled, "Lao Chen told me last year that his grandson was admitted to that university, and he was proud." Look how he envies me this year. ”

Shen Qingmeng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he thought of those dinner celebrations or something, he felt his scalp tingle.

After being happy for a while, my grandfather seemed to remember something, took out a box from his pocket, and stuffed it into Shen Qingmeng's hand: "Dandan, a birthday gift for you, you won't be in the capital next week, grandpa wishes you a happy birthday in advance." ”

As if inspiring Grandpa Shen, he also took out a box from his pocket and stuffed it to Shen Qingmeng: "Yes, yes, grandpa has also prepared a gift for you." ”

This time, the two old men were more energetic again, and one urged Shen Qingmeng to open it and take a look, whether he liked it or not.

Lao Shen stuck his head out of the kitchen: "Dad, don't give Dan Dan some expensive gifts, the little girl can't hold it down." ”

The four old men all turned their heads and glared at him: "Wrap your dumplings, we give them to Dandan, what can't be suppressed." ”

Shen Qingmeng had no choice but to open the box.

Grandpa Shen's box contains a gold pen, and the shape and craftsmanship are very fashionable, and it doesn't look like an old object. Shen Qingmeng was really a little afraid that Grandpa Shen would turn out something ancestral in the family and give it to her, don't use it, I'm sorry for the thing, use it, I'm afraid I will bump it again.

Shen Qingmeng tried to shake it, and it felt good. So he closed the box, thanked his grandfather, and took a "chirp" on his grandparents' faces.

Grandpa looked at her expectantly, and Shen Qingmeng opened the box given by his grandfather again.

Inside is a necklace.

The platinum chain and pendant are a piece of green jadeite, made in the shape of a water droplet. The colors are very lively and playful, and the water is full of water. The glass is emerald green jadeite, the texture is very good, but the size is not large.

It's not anything valuable.

Shen Qingmeng handed the chain to her grandmother, and the old lady put it on for her, and successfully harvested a fragrant kiss.

Grandpa didn't care about the teasing eyes of others, looked at Shen Qingmeng and asked, "What about grandpa?" ”

Shen Qingmeng also smiled, hugged his grandfather's neck, and kissed him big.

"Dandan, come over and help, I'm ready to make dumplings." Ms. Qin called her in the kitchen.

Shen Qingmeng went into the kitchen, the dumpling filling had been chopped, and Ms. Qin was stirring with chopsticks. Lao Shen's great business of rolling skins is also coming to an end, and the round dumpling skins are neatly stacked on the side.

Making dumplings is to be made by the whole family, Shen Qingmeng took the flour out, sprinkled flour on the table in the dining room, and helped Lao Shen take out the dumpling wrappers and dumpling fillings and put them away.

The four old men rolled up their sleeves and washed their hands and prepared to make dumplings.

The process of making dumplings is the core of the winter solstice reunion.

Grandpa and Ms. Qin chatted about business, and grandparents asked Lao Shen about his recent research progress, and they were happy.

After eating the dumplings, the old people went home, and Old Shen and Ms. Qin also went to take a lunch break, leaving Shen Qingmeng alone in the living room.

sent a message to Zhou Mao and Qi Min, and made an appointment to get together in the evening, and Shen Qingmeng also went back to the room to take a nap.

In the afternoon, Shen Qingmeng greeted Lao Shen, and when he didn't eat at home in the evening, he packed up and went out.

Eating hot pot for dinner, steaming hot pot restaurant, Shen Qingmeng pushed the box door, Leng Shanshan flew into her arms, accompanied by a voice of "Brother Shen!" ”

Shen Qingmeng hugged Leng Shanshan's waist, and she hadn't seen the little girl grow taller again for a few months. Zhou Mao and Qi Min have not changed much, but Qi Min's star temperament has become heavier.

has been busy competing, and I haven't paid attention to the results of Qi Min's talent show. As soon as the words came out, Leng Shanshan hurriedly replied: "Sister Minmin won the second place." ”

The show "I Want to Be a Singer" is very popular, and the advertisements are overwhelming during the audition, and the popularity and popularity are very high. Qi Min won the second place, which is a very good result.

"Is there any brokerage company to sign with? Or are you going to be like a stone, sign in to Xingyi? ”

"I haven't signed it yet, but now it's Xingyi's agent who is helping me take care of it, and I'll sign it when I go to college."

Leng Shanshan said with a smile: "Brother Shen has started to search for potential artists for his company. ”

Shen Qingmeng pinched her face: "Shanshan wants to be a star in the future, Brother Shen is in charge and signed you too." ”

Leng Shanshan shook her head and rescued her face from Shen Qingmeng's hands: "I want to be a scientist!" It's the same as Brother Shen. ”

Zhou Mao was a little surprised: "Shanshan, don't you like drum kits?" Why are you going to be a scientist again? ”

"Because Brother Shen wants to be a scientist."

At this time, Shen Qingmeng was also surprised: "You want to be a scientist because of me?" Do you like the drum kit because of me? ”

"yes, I like you, so I like what you like."

Zhou Mao's face was a little weird, and Shen Qingmeng also felt that something was wrong.

"But I'm me, you're you, you still have a lot of time to discover what you like, there's no need to learn from me."

Leng Shanshan's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "What I like is you." ”

Shen Qingmeng couldn't see girls crying the most, Leng Shanshan was a little girl who had known her for many years, and was happy and crazy together, so she hugged her distressedly at the moment: "If you like me, you like me, a scientist is a scientist, you have to study hard, it's very hard." ”

Leng Shanshan was coaxed by Shen Qingmeng to smile again, Zhou Mao frowned, and stopped talking.

But Shen Qingmeng didn't notice.

After eating, the group was walking out and met the tiger group.

Tiger and Shen Qingmeng didn't know each other back then. Later, because of the matter of the bar, he was exploited by the opponent and hired someone to block the alley. Shen Qingmeng put down four of them by himself, and dragged the tiger out of the alley and sent it to the hospital.

After that, in the words of the tiger, it was a fateful friendship.

The tiger took a few younger brothers to the store, and someone called "Shen Ye" on the ground.

The two groups of people stopped at the same time, and the tiger saw Shen Qingmeng at a glance: "Yo, when did my sister Shen return to Beijing, why didn't you tell my brother." ”

Shen Qingmeng also saw the tiger: "You can meet Brother Tiger here, it can be seen that it is fate." I just arrived today, and the old man and the old lady at home just finished eating dumplings, so I can't come out to let off the wind. ”

The tiger turned around and beckoned Shen Qingmeng: "Let's go, go to my brother's field to play, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Shen Qingmeng turned his head to look at Qi Min and the others, and Zhou Mao replied: "Brother Tiger has taken care of us for a long time, borrow Shen Ye's light to pay tribute to Brother Hu." ”

The tiger laughed: "What kind of care, you two stars are in my field, and you have also added glory to me." Take a walk and go for a drink together. ”

There's a tiger bar nearby, and it's a quiet bar.

Shen Qingmeng casually ordered a low-degree cocktail, and explained to the tiger with a smile: "Ming'er has to rush back to Nancheng, there is a class to go on Monday, and I will have a drink with Brother Tiger when the holiday is over." ”

Tiger didn't embarrass her and ordered a cocktail himself.

"How is Brother Tiger's business this year?"

"Thanks to my sister, in addition to this quiet bar, there are two more in the east of the city, which have already opened. Business, not good, not bad, barely making ends meet. There is a club in the south of the city, which has just been put down, and it is estimated that it will open next year. When the time comes, my sister will come to cheer. ”

Shen Qingmeng responded with a smile.

Tiger said that he could barely make ends meet, that is, the business was very good. Qi Min's family also opened a bar, and this quiet bar was the first bar of Tiger, which was opened by borrowing the momentum of Qi Min's family. So the tiger took great care of Qi Min.

However, he is already preparing to go from the bar to the club, and it seems that he has made a lot of money in recent years.

Half a glass of wine went down, and a waiter came in at the door, holding a cake, and walked to their table.

"My sister will leave tomorrow, I don't think I will necessarily come next week, my brother will celebrate your birthday in advance." After speaking, he also took out a box for her.

The tiger could remember her birthday, and Shen Qingmeng was not surprised at all. Such a well-rounded person can mix in the circle of bars.

Shen Qingmeng opened the box, and the tiger gave a bracelet. Look at the label on the box, it's a big brand, and it's worth a lot of money.

But it's not a gift that can't be received, Shen Qingmeng accepted it with a smile and thanked the tiger.
