Jiangcheng is located in the north, and the weather in the beginning of winter is more cold and bitter than that of Yuncheng, which has four distinct seasons and mild.

At eight or nine o'clock in the night, it is also the most lively time in this small town, the lights are bright and crowded, most of them are families with children walking their dogs, and they are happy, and Zhen Qiaoqiao has never experienced the warmth of home, and can't help but look at them with envy.

With thousands of thoughts, drifting farther and farther, Douban's big tears spilled down her cheeks, Zhen Qiaoqiao snorted, trying to restrain her emotions, but in vain after all.

A child with a rock sugar gourd was staring at her curiously, and said, "Beautiful sister, you look good when you cry, but I still like to see your smile, the sugar gourd is for you to eat, is it okay for you to laugh?" ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao was stunned, and then was warmed by the little boy's innocent words, couldn't help laughing, squatted down and said: "He is already a warm man at a young age, and I don't know how many little girls I will harm when I grow up." ”

The little boy had bright eyes and teeth, and his smile was innocent, and he replied: "I don't understand what you mean, this is what my mother taught me, anyway, if you smile, I should also go home for dinner." ”

After the little boy finished speaking, he didn't forget to stuff the sugar gourd in his hand into her hand, and then waved his little hand and slipped into the alley of the community.

Zhen Qiaoqiao's originally cold body seemed to be shone by the sun, and the warm light melted into her blood, she clenched the string of rock sugar gourds in her hand, packed up her thoughts, and came to the hotel where Zheng Yiming was.

Zheng Yiming was able to wash up, he was lying on the tatami mat in a white bathrobe watching the news, after hearing the doorbell, he did not hesitate, and then opened the door, only to see Zhen Qiaoqiao standing in front of him with a red nose.

Zheng Yiming looked at her in surprise, the temperature dropped sharply at night, and she was thinly dressed, and her little face was already crimson from the cold, adding a bit of pity but cuteness, but he also noticed the redness and swelling of her eyes, and her long eyelashes were soaked with a layer of mist, obviously she had just cried.

Zheng Yiming moved away and let Zhen Qiaoqiao enter the heated room, his thin lips narrowed into a straight line, and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you here so late? ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao bit her lip tightly, she knew that she was embarrassed at the moment, obviously her home was not far away, but there was no place for her.

When her parents were busy in the kitchen, Zhen Qiaoqiao secretly opened the house that originally belonged to her, but she didn't come back for a year, and it had become a utility room.

"I ...... I don't want to stay there, let's go back to Cloud City tomorrow. Zhen Qiaoqiao said with chattering teeth.

The love of her parents was all given to her brother Zhen Chen, and she stayed there like a stranger in the way, unless she came up with money to make her family smile, everything she did was meaningless.

Zheng Yiming saw that she looked like she was about to cry, and had already guessed that she had been greatly wronged in Zhen's house, so he pulled her to sit on a tatami mat, and then made a cup of hot tea to cover her hands.

Zhen Qiaoqiao put the hot water cup on her forehead and cheeks, warming her cold skin.

His tall figure sat beside her, his deep and dark eyes like a torch, staring at her tightly, and then asked softly, "Tell me, what happened when you got home?" Did your uncle and aunt kick you out or did you force you for some other reason? ”

Recalling Zhen Chen's persecution and the partiality of his parents, Zhen Qiaoqiao's black and white eyes faded their brilliance, and a sad look was added to her face, and she said word by word: "My mother and my brother joined forces to lie to me, she wasn't sick at all, she just wanted me to go home quickly." ”

Zheng Yiming was stunned, and his eyes narrowed: "Not sick?" So why did they deliberately conspire to deceive you? ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly, closed her eyes and said bitterly: "Because I have been dragging it out and not giving money, they are afraid that I will disappear, so they forced me to pay money to fulfill my brother in person, it is really funny, why should my brother marry and let me selflessly give the bride price?" He also asked me to take out a loan in my name, how could I be embarrassed to make such an unreasonable demand? ”

Zheng Yiming fell out of sight because of the request of the Zhen family, even if he couldn't get the money for Zhen Chen to marry, he shouldn't force Zhen Qiaoqiao to borrow usury, which didn't seem to be a white wolf with empty gloves.

"So you don't want to continue arguing with them and escape?"

Zhen Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and nodded, and muttered aggrievedly: "In that cold and ruthless home, I can't stay for a quarter of an hour, on the surface they pretend that their children are equal, but I know that no matter how wrong Zhen Chen is, they will not be really angry, and still regard him as a treasure, and I am like a child who was picked up for free, as if I have always owed them and should spend my life to make up for it." ”

After a pause, she hugged Zheng Yiming, wrapped her hands around his solid waist, and whispered: "I won't interfere in Zhen Chen's marriage anymore, originally I was still worried about family affection, thinking about how much I could, but now their approach makes me feel cold and disappointed, and I can't give another penny." ”

Zheng Yiming's face was dark, after hearing what happened to Zhen Qiaoqiao, he was angry and distressed, he had never seen such a patriarchal family, the upper class wealthy families were all rich daughters, how could they be poorer and more remote, but only baby sons. txt

Zheng Yiming's generous and warm shoulder patted her on the back and comforted: "If you don't want to go back, you won't go back, if you don't miss that home, don't think about it, in the future, my home will be your home, if you miss home, come to my house at any time." ”

His words are like a promise, and it seems to be a responsibility, which makes Zhen Qiaoqiao, who already lacks family warmth, feel as if he has come to heaven from purgatory, and his heart is happy.

But at the same time, she was a little worried, and muttered, "I haven't met your parents yet, what if they don't like me?" They must be very strict with your mate selection, and I have the same kind of conditions in my family, and they definitely don't welcome me if the door is not right. ”

After hearing her speculation, Zheng Yiming smiled, rubbed her furrowed eyebrows, and said: "My parents are very open-minded and will not dictate the life I want, in addition, my grandmother likes you so much, in my family, Mrs. Zheng is the biggest, so no one will dislike you." ”

Thinking of Grandma Zheng, who felt sorry for herself, Zhen Qiaoqiao's mood suddenly improved, but her face was still cloudy and depressed.

Zheng Yiming knew that the ruthlessness of the Zhen family hit her hard, so she deliberately sent a message to Mrs. Zheng, probably explaining the situation Qiaoqiao encountered, and asked her grandmother to call her to explain it.

Mrs. Zheng hadn't fallen asleep yet, and after receiving the message from her grandson, she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, her baby granddaughter-in-law was wronged, so she would definitely go out to solve it.

Xu is not a few minutes later, Zhen Qiaoqiao received a call from Mrs. Zheng.

Zhen Qiaoqiao's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Why did grandma call?" ”

Zheng Yiming pretended not to know, and explained with a smile: "It may be that you have a heart, grandma knows that you are in a bad mood now, so she came to you." ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao's heart was like honey, sweet, she answered the phone with a smile, and said, "Grandma, I haven't slept yet, Yiming and I have been busy with work recently, and I'll go over to see you in two days." ”

Mrs. Zheng smiled kindly and replied: "Daughter-in-law Sun really knew what grandma was going to say at once, it is true that you haven't come to see me as an old man for a long time, just come over, Yiming will keep him busy, you should work hard to support your family, and your child's milk powder money will depend on him to earn money in the future." ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao laughed out loud, Zheng Yiming shook his head helplessly and smiled after hearing Mrs. Zheng's responsibilities through hands-free, how much can this milk powder cost? Grandma knew that she was joking with her, but seeing that her beloved daughter was in a better mood, she could say whatever she wanted.

"Grandma, in fact, I'm sad now, something happened in my family, although Yiming comforted me, but I was still panicked in my heart, but after chatting with grandma and you, those gloom disappeared in an instant, really thank you grandma for your timely call." Zhen Qiaoqiao said gratefully, with a bright smile on her face.

It can make the granddaughter-in-law feel better, which is also the purpose of Mrs. Zheng's phone call, she said happily: "It turns out that grandma and I have such a big role, if something unpleasant happens to you in the future, you can chat with grandma at any time, although I, the old man, can't help you anything, but I am definitely your most loyal listener to granddaughter-in-law." ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao laughed happily again, chatted with Mrs. Zheng for a long time, thinking that she couldn't delay the old man's rest, so she reluctantly hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Zhen Qiaoqiao was in a good mood, and the loss just now was swept away.

Zheng Yiming was folding his hands cross, half-lying on the soft tatami, closing his eyes, then opened his eyes, raised his arms and beckoned: "Qiaoqiao, come here, let me hug." ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao was in a good mood, and when she heard the words, she also got into his arms very well-behaved.

Zheng Yiming looked down and saw that the smile on the corner of her mouth had not diminished, and asked with a smile: "What did you talk about with grandma?" It's been a long time since I've seen you so happy. ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao shook her head, and replied with a smile: "I didn't talk about anything, it's just the trivial things in life, maybe grandma is from the past, many of her insights have penetrated into it, and every word has hit my heart. ”

Zheng Yiming hooked his lips and said: "This just shows that the old lady attaches great importance to you, if you are separated from other indifferent people, the old lady is like gold, and she is very cold, so you can chat with the old lady for so long." ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao tilted her head, and said with scumbag eyes: "Is there one?" But I think grandma is a kind and kind person, huh? It should be true for everyone, right? ”

Zheng Yiming pursed his lips and smiled, rubbing her hair, "No, just for you, you are already the granddaughter-in-law she identifies, and we are already a family." ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao's face suddenly flushed again, thinking that she would form a new family with Zheng Yiming, and her heart was looking forward to joy.
