After learning that she had recovered, Qiao Shu's training volume gradually increased, so that she could perform at her best when she went to compete next year. Although she can do the movements independently, which can be described as a big step forward, but the poor physical fitness is not in a hurry.

Someone once said that a low lung capacity like Qiao Shu is not suitable for long-distance running. In her third year of junior high school, her lung capacity was only 648ml, and if it weren't for the lack of exercise, she would really be suspected of having lung disease. So it practiced hard later, and now it is only 1800ml, which is very bad for ordinary people, but for her, it is already very good. However, she had to compete in the Majon flash competition, which required a lot of physical fitness, and she had to train harder.

As the days passed, the Lunar New Year drew closer. On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Qiao Shu said goodbye to Lin Yi and Jiang Xirong, and went to his grandparents' house with his parents and Song Mingsu.

It's snowing on this day, the first snow of 2018, it's always said that Ruixue is a mega year, but in a city like Jianghong, even a small snow particle is as precious as gold. This year was unexpected, with snow before the New Year, a sight not seen in many years.

The grandparents' family is in the countryside, and they would rather live alone together than live in the city. Fortunately, I have a companion in the same village as my grandparents.

"Grandma!"

"Grandma!"

As soon as Qiao Shu entered the house, he found that the house was full of people, grandparents, grandparents, and the whole family had arrived. Obviously, she only came back for the Chinese New Year last year, but she felt that she hadn't seen her for ten years, and when she saw her grandmother and grandmother, she threw herself into their arms and cried with joy.

They were all eighty or ninety years old, and they were originally short, but now they looked thin and weak. The teeth had fallen out, the hair was gray, as white as the snow outside the window, and the wrinkles on the face were layer upon layer, and the slender hands were already like pine bark. With a smile on his face, Qiao Shu may have followed them at this point.

"Why are you still crying?" Grandma picked up Qiao Shu's delicate face, it was really like holding a pearl, carefully.

"It's been a long time since I've seen my grandmother and grandmother, I'm so happy." Qiao Shu wiped away his tears, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, revealing his neat teeth, and his smile was like a crooked moon.

Grandma patted Qiao Shu's hand, smiling kindly, and suddenly became sad again. "How did you lose so much weight?"

Grandpa Qiao Yongzheng, who was originally lying in the rocking chair, heard what his grandmother said, and immediately sat up straight and looked at Qiao Shu carefully, but he didn't say anything. It is indeed a lot thinner than what he saw last year, in his memory, Qiao Shu is of medium stature, that is, fat and thin, she was originally a melon seed face, and now she has sharpened a lot. He didn't know if he was old and had a wrong memory, or if he missed Qiao Shu too much, or if it was the case.

Qiao Shu, his parents, and Song Mingsu were naturally nervous, for fear of showing their feet. Originally, the old man was old and in poor health, if he knew what happened to Qiao Shu, he might not know what would happen.

"I come back every year and you say I've lost weight." Qiao Shu's face did not change and added a little more joy, in order to suppress the tension in his heart.

Grandma let out a confused "ah". "Really? But it's really thin. ”

Qiao Shu lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, but there were all kinds of bitterness in his heart. When I looked up and saw Qiao Yongzheng in the rocking chair, there was no trace of silver hair in his jet-black hair, which was perhaps the most enviable. However, he was originally relatively obese, but he felt that his skin was loose and sagging, and he did not have the spirit of red light.

"Grandpa, how are you doing lately?" Qiao Shu raised her voice slightly, she knew that Qiao Yongzheng's ears were not good.

Qiao Yongzheng didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded, and then lay on the rocking chair again, humming his own song.

At this time, an elderly man with a woman holding a cane appeared in front of everyone outside the door.

The woman's appearance can't help but remind people of a certain writer's pen "convex cheekbones and thin lips, just like a compass with thin feet in a drawing instrument." ”

And that man is not much different from Qiao Yongzheng, he is old and weak, and his spirit is no longer good.

"Grandpa!" Qiao Shu immediately ran to the elderly man and brushed the woman's hand away. Help the old man to sit on the couch.

Although Qiao Shu's grandfather lived in the countryside, he was a man of the hour in the city when he was young, and his connections were not as good as the sum of all the people here, and his wealth was considerable, and he was getting older, so he took the initiative to move to the countryside with his wife, and most of his savings were used for charity, and he only kept a small amount of money.

Song Mingsu was puzzled, that woman should be an elder, but with Qiao Shu's character, she would not behave so rudely. Others naturally knew that it was Qiao Shu's aunt Wang Mufu, Qiao Shu had never given her a good look, and the family was not easy to say.

Leaving Wang Mufu standing there alone, she was uncomfortable and glared at Qiao Shu fiercely.

Qiao Shu ignored it and pulled Song Mingsu behind him forward. "Grandparents, grandparents, let me introduce, this is my boyfriend - Song Mingsu."

Song Mingsu also hurriedly presented the gift he bought, and said very respectfully and slightly respectfully: "Hello grandparents!" Hello grandparents! I'm Song Mingsu, Shu'er's boyfriend. ”

Qiao Yongzheng turned his head sideways and looked at Song Mingsu carefully, on the outside, he had the spirit and demeanor that a man should have, and on the inside, he believed in Qiao Shu's eyes. Nodding in satisfaction.

The other three elders all smiled with relief. Wang Mushi introduced everyone in the family to Song Mingsu.

In the twilight, the snow stopped, and he lay on the roof, white and white, and could not see any other color.

Qiao Shu helped his second aunt Wang Muci in the kitchen, picking up the waste leaves in the dishes.

Wang Muci is plump, but not tall. The lips were a little thicker, the face was covered with freckles, and there were a few small black moles.

"You still won't forgive your aunt?" Wang Muci cut the cabbage and looked back at Qiao Shu, who was picking vegetables behind.

Qiao Shu's face was calm, and his eyes were on the dish in his hand. "As I said, I don't have an aunt."

"It's all family." Wang Muci sighed.

Qiao Shu chuckled, but it was chilling. "Family? When she said that her surname was not Wang, but Yu, did she ever think that we were a family? When she sowed discord, played right and wrong, and almost shattered this family, did she ever think that we were a family? When she was acting nonsense and making her grandfather half angry, did she ever think that we were a family? ”

Now that Yu Zhiming is dead, does she remember that she is a member of this family? Remembering her parents and siblings? My grandfather is old and soft-hearted, but I don't. ”

Over the years, Qiao Shu has been very controlled of his emotions. At least there was no head-on conflict with Wang Mufu.

"Anyway, she's an elder, you shouldn't have embarrassed her just now. I know she broke your heart before, but now she knows that she was wrong, and Yu Zhiming has nothing to do with it. Wang Muci's face showed a worried look.

"Dogs can't change their!" Qiao Shu was a little irritable and a little excessive.

"She was wrong, I heard this sentence since I was a child, when did she really change it? Without Yu Zhiming, and Yu Kang, if there is a father, there will be a son, and he does not have a good thing in the Yu family. ”

Speaking of which, Qiao Shu thought of the winter when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, which was also the eve of the New Year.

Wang Mushi quarreled with her grandmother because of her resignation, and after Wang Mufu learned the news, she rushed to the scene non-stop, originally thinking that she was here to persuade her, but it was the opposite.

"Eldest sister, is it that the scandal between you and the boss of the company has been exposed, and I don't want you anymore and drive you away?"

"What are you talking about!"

Qiao Shibin, who was sitting on the side at that time, had already had a black face, although he knew that Wang Mufu was talking nonsense, but he still didn't feel good in his heart.

"If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do. And this evil obstacle, I'm afraid it's not you and your brother-in-law's seed, right? No wonder he was retributed, he was a cripple. "She's getting tougher and harder.

At that time, Qiao Shu was only 10 years old, and she had a strong self-esteem since she was a child, knowing that she was inconvenient to move, but she tried not to feel inferior as much as possible, but when she heard Wang Mufu so sarcastic, she clenched her little fist tightly.

The quarrel was very intense, Wang Mufu reversed black and white, and Qiao Shibin and Wang Mushi almost went on the road of divorce. After that, Qiao Shu had nightmares every night, which lasted for more than three months.

Since then, Qiao Shu has never called Aunt Wang Mufu again.

Wang Muci knew that Qiao Shu was really overstimulated, and she hadn't eased up at all over the years, otherwise she, as a cultivated person, would definitely not say such a thing. This is already the case, and it is not good for Wang Muci to continue.

In a few moments, a sumptuous dinner was ready, and the family sat neatly together.

"Xiao Shu, work has been going well lately, right?" The one who asked was Qiao Shu's uncle, who was nearly sixty years old, and followed Qiao Yongzheng with black hair and full of energy.

Qiao Shu was slightly stunned, she was afraid of revealing her stuffing. "Good! Very good! I've been promoted to art director. ”

Qiao Shibin and Wang Mushi buried their heads and ate slowly, and they were also extremely worried about Qiao Shu in their hearts. But Song Mingsu secretly gave Qiao Shu a look.

And Yu Kang, who was sitting next to Wang Mufu, said with a smile: "Aren't you expelled?" Artistic director, I'm afraid it's not your own fantasy? ”

This outspoken is Wang Mufu and Yu Zhiming's son Yu Kang, who looks very good-looking, but unfortunately follows his mother, with a snarky face, so that in his early thirties, he looks like he is in his forties. is also a nobody, who used to bluntly contradict his grandparents and grandparents, and was full of contempt for Qiao Shu's sister.

Everyone was stunned.

Song Mingsu impulsively wanted to stand up and take the man out and beat him, but Qiao Shu held his hand tightly. The two looked at each other, and Qiao Shu shook his head slightly at him.

They were not afraid of losing face at the moment, but they were afraid that Qiao Shu's physical condition would be known by several old people, and they were worried in vain.

Suddenly quieted down, Wang Mushi and Qiao Shibin naturally didn't know what to do, while the others all looked at Qiao Shu. Yu Kang and Wang Mufu are even more like sitting and waiting to watch the play.

"Brother Kang, huh? Dare to ask Brother Kang, you said that Shu'er was fired, which company was fired? Song Mingsu suddenly had confidence.

The corners of Yu Kang's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled quite confidently: "Of course, it's Feiyue Magazine." Otherwise, what else? ”

Song Mingsu picked up the wine on the table and took a sip gently. "Did Shu'er say that she was the art director of Feiyue Magazine?"

Yu Kang was speechless.

"Everyone in the literary industry and the art industry knows Shu'er's name, everyone competes with each other, I am naturally the first to get the first month, and I hire her as the art director of my company with a high salary, what's wrong?" Song Mingsu already had the best wind, and it was really funny to see Yu Kang's defeat.

Qiao Shu almost laughed out loud at Song Mingsu's words, he was really bragging, he didn't make drafts, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

And the two mothers and sons angrily left the dishes and chopsticks and left.

The family continued to eat happily and happily, and Song Mingsu was naturally checked by the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family, and Qiao Shu broke the siege and brought Song Mingsu out.

The night view after the snow is bright, and from a distance, the sky and the earth are one. I only heard the sound of dogs barking in the village, and I couldn't even hear the sound of water in the stream behind the mountain, so it should be frozen.

"Just now, thank you for helping me out." Qiao Shu stared at the snow under his feet, with footprints, it was not so pure.

"It should. Is there any conflict between you, your aunt and Yu Kang? I don't think you're friendly to each other. Song Mingsu held back his doubts for a day, and he was not good at asking questions at home, so he just came out to solve his confusion.

Qiao Shu was a little reluctant to mention this matter again, but she should always let Song Mingsu know, and tried her best to restrain her emotions before telling the story.

"Wang Mufu's husband Yu Zhiming, who used to be the poorest one in this village, was divorced, and was a full eighteen years older than Wang Mufu. Grandpa loved this little daughter, afraid that she would be wronged when she got married, so he prepared a large dowry, and when she got there, it naturally became a property in Yu Zhiming's name. ”

"With money, my bones are hard, I go to gamble every day, and when I lose the bet, I instigate Wang Mufu to come to the house to ask for money behind my back, and I also sow discord between my family members several times. I have listened to them quarrel since I was a child, and once my grandfather was so angry with Wang Mufu that he fainted and almost didn't wake up. Their family has made this family a miasma, I hate them, and that Wang Mufu admits his mistakes again and again, and repeats them again and again, disgusting! ”

From beginning to end, Qiao Shu did not have a respectful tone towards them, and even called them by their names, Song Mingsu completely understood what happened to such a lady, what would happen to her to be forced to be like an uneducated woman, and Wang Mufu's family was the culprit.

"What about the little uncle? …… I mean Yu Zhiming. ”

"Dead, cancer."

Four words to sum up the heinous people in her mouth, one more word will remind her of that kind of person.

Seeing that the old man in the family is eighty or ninety years old, it is already considered a long life, so no matter how old Yu Zhiming is, he should only be in his sixties when he dies, less than seventy, Song Mingsu, who believes in science, can't help but think of that sentence. Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, it is not that it will not be reported, the time has not yet come. It's cool and swishing in the back.

Today's country road for an after-dinner walk felt very short, and it was over in an instant, and I had to turn around and go home. She remembers that when she was a child, this road could not be completed.
