Qiao Xi hurriedly comforted the children around her, squatted on the ground, wiped away the children's tears, and said, "Sister is just going home for a few days and will be back soon, don't you cry, okay?" ”

The children coaxed for a long time before they stopped crying, Qiao Xi distributed the candy in his pocket to several children, and they quickly laughed sweetly again.

"Secretary Qiao, are you really just going home for a few days?" Chen Feng walked over.

Qiao Xi nodded and glared at her again, "You, don't make any claims, bring the children out at night, the weather is cold, what if you catch a cold?" ”

Chen Feng had a smile on his face, he really hoped that Qiao Xi could stay in the village, called the children back to his side, and explained with a smile: "Your sister Qiao is not really leaving, I'll send you back!" ”

"Chen Feng!" Qiao Xi stopped him again, "You explain to the old village chief and Sister Qian, let them not worry, I am a party member, and I am a resident cadre sent by the government to Xiaoquanzi Village, and I will not leave here until Xiaoquanzi Village takes off this poverty hat." ”

"Thank you." Chen Feng's eyes were a little moist, and he quickly twisted his head away, and when no one saw it, he slid down silently, holding the children's hands and gradually walking away.

Qiao Xi persuaded Zhang's lame old mother and Nannan to leave the house, and promised that Nannan would have time to lead her home with her in the future and let her see the outside world.

Nan Nan happily hooked up with Qiao Xi, and happily followed her grandmother out of here.

When Qiao Xi returned home, she booked a ticket online, and when it was dawn the next day, she rode her bicycle out of the village.

She didn't want to bother other people, especially now that she felt indebted to the village, she had to pedal for hours to get to the town's bus stop.

The bike was locked in the garage and she stepped on the bus to her home.

Her home was in a distant city, and after twenty or thirty hours of bumpy driving, the car arrived in the bustling metropolis at noon the next day.

This is in stark contrast to the impoverished Xiaoquanzi Village, where high-rise buildings are stacked, traffic is busy, and the atmosphere of a modern city is paved.

Qiao Xi walked towards the station gate, and a woman in her forties was looking at her from a distance.

She is Qiao Xi's mother Luo Haifeng, although she is middle-aged, she still has charm, her posture is straight, and she is wearing white sportswear.

Qiao Xi contacted Luo Haifeng when she was in the car, and she also recognized Qiao Xi, but seeing that her daughter had lost so much weight and her skin was dark, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she walked towards Qiao Xi quickly.

"Mom......" Qiao Xi threw herself into Luo Haifeng's arms.

"Xixi, why did you lose weight like this?" Luo Haifeng took Qiao Xi's hands and looked at them carefully, the tears were uncontrollable after all, and they slid down in distress.

Qiao Xi has changed a lot since she went to Xiaoquanzi Village, in the past, this fashionable girl liked dresses the most, but now she wears white shirts and black pants, and she looks much older than girls of the same age.

"Mom, I'm healthy and thin!" Qiao Xi deliberately clenched her fists, showing off her biceps.

Luo Haifeng shook her head with a wry smile and lightly tapped her forehead with her fingers, "What does a girl want so many muscles for?" Hurry up and go to dinner with your mother, you're hungry, aren't you? ”

The two of them had dinner in a restaurant, Luo Haifeng pulled Qiao Xi to go to the mall to buy a few sets of clothes, Qiao Xi always refused, but Luo Haifeng's words made her disarm and surrender.

"Xixi, if you see your father in rustic clothes, your father will definitely not let you go back to Xiaoquanzi Village. His heart and soul have become a stupid girl in the countryside, can he be happy? ”

Qiao Xi pursed his mouth, thinking of his old stubborn father, and finally closed his mouth when he wanted to refute.

"When is Daddy off work?" Qiao Xi changed into a white dress, stepped on white sneakers and took a few photos in front of the fitting mirror, then turned her head and asked.

"It's the same as before, when I get off work in the evening." Luo Haifeng tidied up Qiao Xi's skirt and nodded with satisfaction, "This is like this, my daughter should be beautiful." ”

After coming out of the mall, Qiao Xi took the initiative to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, saying that she wanted to make a delicious meal to honor her parents, but she had already started Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, and if she didn't behave well, she really couldn't get money from her parents.

The purpose of her return home was to borrow money from her parents and pay it to the chicken farmers in the village.

Qiao Xi's family lives on the fifteenth floor of a community, her parents are intellectuals, Luo Haifeng is the attending doctor in the hospital, and she was transferred to a special shift with her colleagues in order for Qiao Xi to go home. Her father worked in a scientific research unit, and they originally wanted Qiao Xi to go to her father's unit for an internship after graduation, but they didn't expect Qiao Xi to go to the poorest place to become a village cadre on her own initiative.

Back at home, Luo Haifeng let Qiao Xi sit on the sofa opposite, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, "Qiao Xi, tell my mother, did you encounter anything difficult to go home this time?" ”

Qiao Xi no longer had the slightest concealment, and told her mother about the chicken plague in Xiaoquanzi Village, she took the responsibility on her shoulders, and said in silence: "Mom, it is not easy for people in the village to raise chickens, and I want to fill in the money they lose for them." ”

Luo Haifeng had sensed Qiao Xi's thoughts since Qiao Xi said chicken plague, and went over to sit next to Qiao Xi and took her hand, "Xixi, did you really decide to do this?" Mom didn't think you had done anything wrong in this matter. The chickens in the village have chicken plague, it is not caused by you, and you do not need to bear the lost money. ”

"Mom." Qiao Xi shook his head, "I am a cadre sent to the village, such a big thing happened in the village, I am the first person responsible, and I have no reason to shirk." ”

Luo Haifeng smiled, "I knew you would say this, forget it, I can't care so much." If you think you should do it, then do it, and now tell your mother how much you need to pay them. ”

Qiao Xi lowered her head a little embarrassed, "I calculated last night, and I took out all my scholarships over the years, and there is still a gap of 60,000 yuan." ”

Luo Haifeng was slightly stunned, touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "This money is really a lot, it seems that this matter can't be hidden from your father, the power of our family is in his hands, if you want to take the money away, you have to do his job." ”

Speaking of this, she shook her head again, other people's families are women in charge of finances, but in her family, on the contrary, men are in charge of money.

No matter what, so much money must be discussed with Qiao Xi's father.

Luo Haifeng looked at the time, "Xixi, you go to the bedroom to rest, your father will get off work in a short time, I'll go cook first." ”

"Mom, I'll cook this meal." Qiao Xi hurriedly got up and pressed her mother back to the sofa, seeing that her mother still insisted, she blinked slyly, "Mom, you just need to wait for Dad here, and then lead Dad to the kitchen to take a few looks." ”

Luo Haifeng reacted and slapped Qiao Xi angrily, "You ghost girl!" ”

Qiao Xi just wanted to please her father, and when her father saw her busy in the kitchen, and made all the things he liked to eat, he agreed as soon as his heart softened?

Although it's not realistic, Qiao Xi has to give it a try, besides, she also wants to cook a meal for her parents seriously.

It didn't take long for the sound of the key opening the door outside, and Qiao Xi's father, Qiao Guodong, walked in from outside the door.

Qiao Guodong is forty-five or sixteen years old, of medium stature, wearing a black suit, very bright eyes, and a pair of myopia glasses.

As soon as the briefcase in his hand was put on the cabinet on the side, he didn't have time to change his shoes, so he hurriedly entered the living room, glanced around a few times, and only Luo Haifeng was sitting on the sofa alone, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"What about Qiao Xi? Didn't you say to be back today? Is it because she can't leave that village? ”

Since Qiao Xi went to work in Xiaoquanzi Village, her parents often called her to go home on holidays, but Qiao Xi pushed it away on the grounds that she was already working.

Luo Haifeng pulled Qiao Guodong to the door to change his slippers, pointed to the direction of the kitchen, and gestured to his eyes.

Qiao Guodong smelled the smell of rice wafting from the kitchen, put his hand behind his back and walked over, and hummed to himself: "Even if this girl still has a little conscience......

When he opened the kitchen door, he saw that his daughter had lost weight and her skin was a little rough, and the iron man's throat suddenly choked.
