Since returning home at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Shu has been standing in the corner. Her face was still aching, but she felt her heart hurting even more, staring at her feet and pondering. She is willful, she is proud, she should not be a shining gold, forcibly fight with God, and finally admit defeat first. She shouldn't blame anyone, if she wants to blame herself, just like Lin Yi said, it was she who trampled on her dignity.

At dusk, the sun sets. Jianghong City is full of gold, and the afterglow is reflected in Qiao Shu's house and on Qiao Shu's feet.

Wang Mushi successively brought out a lot of delicious dishes from the kitchen, stir-fried chicken offal, spicy crayfish, seaweed egg drop soup, spicy fish...... The fragrance had already wafted into Qiao Shu's nose, and she swallowed several times.

After the last dish was served, Wang Mushi clapped her hands and shouted: "It's time to eat!" ”

But there was no movement in Qiao Shu's bedroom. Qiao Shibin threw the newspaper on the coffee table, walked to the dining room and sat down, without even looking at the bedroom. Seeing the situation, Wang Mushi walked to the door, knocked on the door and said softly: "Xiao Shu, it's time to eat!" ”

Qiao Shibin yelled at Wang Mushi: "Let her be hungry!" ”

Wang Mushi also had no choice, so she had to sit obediently next to Qiao Shibin to eat, Lin Yi in the morning, Qiao Shibin in the afternoon, she deeply understood how sad and disappointed Qiao Shu made them. What a pride you used to be!

Although Qiao Shu didn't eat, as long as the dishes on the table were what she liked, Qiao Shibin and Wang Mushi didn't move a single chopstick.

Parents are angry and always love you.

The clock walked in circles, the sky outside was getting darker and darker, and the lights on the tall buildings were extinguished one by one.

The house was quiet, there was no TV, only the sound of flipping through newspapers, Qiao Shibin looked through one newspaper after another, and always felt that he had read all the newspapers in the past ten years today. There is also Wang Mushi's frequent sigh, as a mother, she feels sorry for Qiao Shu, as a wife, she has to cooperate with her husband to educate her children, in the face of such a situation, she is helpless or helpless.

Qiao Shibin finished reading all the newspapers at home, looked up at the clock, it was almost 12 o'clock, and Qiao Shu had been in the room for almost 10 hours. He knew that Qiao Shu should have been standing in the room, slowly got up from the sofa, walked straight to Qiao Shu's bedroom, and opened the door directly, sure enough, Qiao Shu stood in the corner with his head down. Walked up to her and helped her sit on the edge of the bed. "Have you figured it out?"

Qiao Shu nodded slightly, but did not speak. Wang Mushi stood at the door, her heart that had been hanging was finally put down, and Qiao Shibin's anger had already disappeared by half.

"Sleep." Qiao Shibin patted Qiao Shu's shoulder and turned to leave.

Qiao Shu struggled to get up, trying to stretch her frowning brows, but she didn't dare to look directly at her parents. "Mom and Dad, good night."

The lights in the bedroom are out.

Qiao Shu lay on the bed, bending his legs back and forth. She stared at the ceiling, tears streaming down her pillow, and silently chanting "I was wrong" countless times in her heart.

I don't know why, tonight in Jianghong City is very quiet, there are no luxury cars, no drunkards go crazy, no couples quarrel, only the sound of the lake flowing by. Qiao Shu had no sleep all night in such a quiet situation.

The sun had just sunburst out of the top of the mountain, and Qiao Shu got up. She wore a black tracksuit, and this Saturday, she was going to see two teachers. Before that, she had to apologize to her parents.

She wanted to make breakfast for her parents. She learned the craft of cooking, and she also learned it from Jiang Xirong, and she didn't know how much she had learned from the two teachers in the past ten years.

Even though her hands were shaking, and when she brought a full pot of water to the fire, only half of the pot remained, and she was not discouraged. If the water is not enough, it will be added little by little. I scooped a spoonful of salt, and it was all gone. Her right hand will also tremble when she wants to do something well, she uses her left hand to grab her right hand, trying to control her right hand, but her left hand is also shaking, to no avail. Qiao Shu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and she kept hinting to herself, don't shake, don't shake, don't shake. She uses a colander, a plate, a pot...... Help with everything you can use.

After almost an hour, Qiao Shu finally made breakfast, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead. Three bowls of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, three hard-boiled eggs, three sandwiches, and three cups of freshly squeezed juice. She calmed down, took the breakfast, and slowly put it on the table, her hands did not tremble, and she was very happy in her heart. Look at the watch, it's 6:30. Qiao Shibin and Wang Mushi just got up, they smelled the fragrance, and as soon as they left the room, they saw the breakfast on the table, and they were stunned.

When Qiao Shu saw them wake up, he immediately walked up to them and bowed 90 degrees. "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I was wrong."

Parents are always soft-hearted, Qiao Shu took the initiative to admit his mistakes, and he was no longer angry. The three of them immediately hugged each other, it was warmth and happiness.

Looking at the table full of breakfast, Wang Mushi couldn't imagine how Qiao Shu did it, she still remembered the time when Qiao Shu cooked and ate by herself when she was a child.

No one was at home, and Qiao Shu had no money around her, and she was only 8 years old at the time. She ran to the kitchen herself, took a pot of water and spilled it all over herself, and went to reconnect the water, and finally cooked the noodles, and when she fished them out of the pot, they were spilled all over the ground. As a child, she was taught not to waste food, so she took a basin of water, washed the dirty noodles, and put them in her mouth to eat. Wang Mushi came home and happened to see this scene.

Although Qiao Shu was definitely much better now than before, her trembling hands always prevented her from doing these things. Wang Mushi didn't dare to ask Qiao Shu, and ate this breakfast with a sad heart. Qiao Shibin was eating eggs, he wanted to thank Lin Yi, if it wasn't for Lin Yi yesterday, Qiao Shu would still be in a state of decadence, and he smiled.

Wang Mushi looked at Qiao Shu's fiery face and asked with concern, "Is your face still painful?" Why don't you take an egg and rub it? ”

Qiao Shu revealed the pear vortex, shook his head and said, "No need, thank you, Mom." It doesn't hurt anymore. ”

How could it not be painful, but Qiao Shu wanted to remember the lesson of this time, an unforgettable lesson.

After breakfast, Qiao Shu was about to go out to see the teacher. Before leaving, Qiao Shibin asked: "Admit your mistakes and apologize to Mr. Lin, you broke his heart yesterday." ”

Qiao Shu nodded silently and went out. She didn't wear makeup today, she didn't have any light makeup at all, although it was not a good etiquette to be plain, but the two teachers didn't like those vulgar fans, and she used to see them don't wear much makeup, let alone today.

She couldn't go empty-handed, she went to the supermarket first. I carefully selected a lot of fruits, found a lot of nutritious products, and bought some dishes that teachers love to eat. There are a lot of things, they are very heavy, and she has a little difficulty moving, and it is even more difficult for her to carry so many things.

Got out of the supermarket and took a taxi. The taxi driver saw that Qiao Shu was taking so many things alone, so he hurriedly got out of the car and helped Qiao Shu get the things into the car, and Qiao Shu hurriedly thanked him several times.

Today's weather is exceptionally clear, cloudless, and the blue sky is reflected on the lake, sparkling, and the water and sky are in the same color. Driving across the river bridge and seeing a flock of white gulls flying, Qiao Shu remembered the sentence in junior high school, "Sand gulls fly and gather, and brocade scales swim". At that time, Jiang Xirong taught her to write and told her to quote these ancient poems, and if they are used well, they are the finishing touch, and if they are not used well, they are the finishing touches. Jiang Xirong's house happened to be by the lake, and she was reading that sentence at the time, and Qiao Shu happened to see a group of white gulls flying by the window, and another fish jumping in the water, so Qiao Shu had a profound impact on this. Every bit of life has the memories of Qiao Shu and the two teachers.

When he arrived downstairs at Jiang Xirong's house, Qiao Shu carried four or five bags of things alone, slowly moving his steps, originally wanted to take the elevator, but walked to the elevator and found that it was being repaired. She had no choice but to take the stairs. Jiang Xirong's house is on the 8th floor, which is actually not high, Qiao Shu's physical strength has improved a lot in recent years, but after this time, his physical strength has plummeted. In the past, she climbed to the 8th floor in 5 minutes at most, but today she climbed for 15 minutes. She had to bear all the weight with one hand and the railing with the other, and every step was difficult, and each step seemed like half a meter high.

Finally reached the 8th floor. Qiao Shu rang the doorbell, Lin Yi knew that she was coming, but he didn't open the door, he asked Jiang Xirong to go. As soon as Jiang Xirong opened the door, he saw Qiao Shu sweating profusely, his face was still swollen, and he was holding several bags of things in his hand, which were heavy, and immediately took them for her.

Jiang Xirong felt pressed when she brought it in, and her eyes showed distress. "Why don't you make a phone call when you come, I'll go down to pick you up, the elevator broke down today, you climbed upstairs, right? It's so heavy, you're not in good health, you look at this sweat. As he spoke, Jiang Xirong wiped the sweat on Qiao Shu's forehead.

Qiao Shu said softly, and in a somewhat aggrieved voice, to Jiang Xirong, "Teacher Jiang, I was wrong......

Jiang Xirong touched Qiao Shu's head, she knew that Qiao Shu had been depressed recently, so she wasn't angry with her at all, she was just worried about her. "Good boy."

But Lin Yi came in from Qiao Shu, sat on the sofa without moving, did not speak, did not have a good face, gloomy, although it was not as scary as yesterday, it still made people shudder. Jiang Xirong motioned for Qiao Shu to come over.

Qiao Shu cautiously walked to Lin Yi's side, bowed deeply, and used an appropriate tone, neither big nor small: "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry...... I was wrong. ”

And Lin Yi didn't look at her from beginning to end, he was angry, angry that Qiao Shu gave up on himself, angry that Qiao Shu trampled on his self-esteem, and angry that Qiao Shu was cowardly.

Qiao Shu saw that Lin Yi didn't react for a long time, and knelt in front of Lin Yi with a "poof".

"What are you doing here? How can I teach you that people should live with dignity! Lin Yi saw Qiao Shu suddenly kneeling down and immediately got up from the sofa.

Jiang Xirong ran over to help Qiao Shu up, but Qiao Shu refused. She straightened her waist, lowered her head and said, "Teacher Lin, I know you're angry with me. You can hit me, you can scold me, but you can't ignore me. She choked up.

"Teacher Lin, if you don't forgive me, I won't get up."

Lin Yi pointed at Qiao Shu but didn't know what to say, so he went to the bedroom. Jiang Xirong was embarrassed on both sides, she couldn't persuade Qiao Shu to get up, so she chased after Lin Yi. Jiang Xirong said to Lin Yi with a little reproach: "She was beaten by you yesterday, and you still let her kneel today." She's just been discharged from the hospital, and I'm really getting more and more confused about you. ”

Lin Yi replied disdainfully: "She wanted to kneel herself, but I didn't let her kneel." ”

Jiang Xirong pointed at Lin Yi with his finger, and was speechless for a moment. "You ......" shook his hand again and sat next to Lin Yi. Then you let her get up, you don't know her stubborn temper. You said that you, who are a teacher, don't teach her the good ones, how can you pass on your own stubbornness to her! ”

Lin Yi turned to lie on the bed, closing his eyes and recuperating. "If she is willing to kneel, let her kneel, just to reflect and reflect."

Jiang Xirong hated the feeling that iron could not become steel, and left the bedroom angrily. She went to pull Joshu up, and was politely rejected again. Jiang Xirong was helpless, and deliberately said loudly: "An old stubborn cow, a little stubborn cow!" You two are stubborn together! Jiang Xirong left home after speaking. Qiao Shu and Lin Yi had to cross this hurdle and ask them to solve it by themselves, and no one could help them.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, Jiang Xirong came back and saw that the bedroom door was closed, Qiao Shu was still kneeling, shook her head, she was helpless and speechless, so she went into the kitchen to work.

Lin Yi looked through the window of the bedroom door and saw Qiao Shu still kneeling there, his body stretched out very straight, he couldn't stand lying down several times, and knelt straight on the sofa. Lin Yi was a little distressed and a little soft-hearted. A good girl like Qiao Shu has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she has hardly been said anything serious, and she has been scolded, beaten, and punished recently, Qiao Shu must have been very aggrieved, but she had to bear it silently, it was her mistake.

Lin Yi couldn't help it, opened the door of the room, walked over, and pulled Qiao up, his face was no longer as cold as just now, and his tone became as gentle as before. "I forgive you, get up."

Qiao Shu was full of joy, there were a few tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and he burst into laughter, and sat on the sofa with Lin Yi. "Teacher Lin, I will never be like this again, I will not let you down and worry anymore."

Wang Mushi saw this scene in the kitchen, smiled with relief, and immediately went to boil two eggs and rubbed Qiao Shu's face.

Lin Yi held Qiao Shu's fiery red face, the slap marks had not yet disappeared, and his face was full of concern. "Didn't you hurt yesterday? Teacher, I was also angry before I ......"

Got Lin Yi's forgiveness, where did Qiao Shu remember the pain in his face, and when he heard Lin Yi mention it, he subconsciously touched his face and smiled lightly: "It hurts, it hurt yesterday because I should have beaten it, Mr. Lin, you are angry, and the two teachers and parents are worried about me." But it doesn't hurt at all today, because Mr. Lin, you're not angry. ”

Lin Yi hugged Qiao Shu, his son has been working abroad for a long time over the years, and Qiao Shu is by his side with Jiang Xirong like a daughter, in his heart, he has long regarded Qiao Shu as his daughter.

Jiang Xirong held the egg and smiled slightly, like the beauty of spring flowers blooming. "Rub your face, it's all swollen. Did you go back and think about it for a day yesterday and forget all about your face? ”

Qiao Shu wanted to refuse, but Lin Yi took the egg and gently rubbed it on Qiao Shu's face. "You must rub it, otherwise it will be my sin if you break the phase in the future."

looked at Qiao Shu's knees again, they had become black, Lin Yi's heart ached, Qiao Shu's recent injuries were all caused by him. He asked Jiang Xirong to prepare a hot handkerchief and put it on Qiao Shu's knees.

Qiao Shu could only let Lin Yi rub her face, and the hot handkerchief was applied to her knees, she was very happy at this time, how she wished that time would stand still at this moment.
