Chapter 22: Little Joe
"Why are you going?"
"Let's go downstairs."
"Go downstairs? What should I do if I run into someone? ”
"If you touch it, you will touch it, what should I do?"
"Qiao Xiaoli, you don't have to be embarrassed, I still want it!"
"Mom, why don't you lose face when you meet someone?"
"When we took the high school entrance examination, only the two of you in our community were admitted to the first middle school, and your grades were more than ten points higher than her, and your high school grades have always been better than her. Every day when I go out to buy groceries, I meet people who ask you how much you take, and I don't have the face to say! ”
"So you just locked me in the house and didn't even let me out?"
"You still have the face to go out?"
......
Lin Baoyue stood at the door of Qiao's house, and the hand raised to knock on the door was frozen in mid-air!
After a while, Lin Baoyue put down his hand and turned to go downstairs!
"Bao Yue?"
Downstairs, Lin Baoyue met Qiao's father who had just come back from work, and she politely called Uncle Qiao!
"Congratulations, Baoyue, you did well in the test, went to play with Xiaoli?"
Lin Baoyue smiled, nodded vaguely and left!
Qiao's father went upstairs, opened the door and entered the house, and saw the mother and daughter in the living room, snorted coldly, and said indifferently, "What's the matter with you two?" Baoyue quarreled as soon as she left, and those who didn't know thought it was because of her! Also pay attention to the influence, anyway, that kid is now the provincial champion! ”
"Bao Yue just left?" Little Joe suddenly got up and looked at Father Qiao!
"yes, do you hear that? People are provincial champions! Qiao's mother pouted, the mother and daughter had completely different concerns!
Qiao's father also noticed that something was wrong at this time, and asked Xiao Qiao, "She didn't enter our house?" But I just ran into her downstairs! ”
Xiao Qiao's face turned white, and she suddenly turned around and ran out of the door, no longer caring how her mother scolded her in the back!
Xiao Qiao ran downstairs to the Lin family in one breath, but when she was about to go upstairs, her mother spoke so badly, Baoyue must have heard it all just now, so how did she explain it?
Say she doesn't have that idea, and she doesn't envy her?
Xiao Qiao suddenly felt very weak, she sat on the steps with her head drooped, staring blankly at the concrete floor under her feet!
Obviously, her grades have improved a lot, obviously she has exceeded the first line by so many points, and it is clear that none of the children of her relatives are better than her, but why is her mother still not satisfied? Still think she's not good enough?
Provincial Champion ......
She only saw that Baoyue had taken the provincial top prize, why didn't she see what the family atmosphere was like? What are parents like?
Baoyue herself is smarter than her, and Lin's father and Lin mother are open-minded and never put pressure on her, so she is not surprised what kind of broad road she can walk!
Unlike her, one never cares about her, and will use her to sprinkle fire when he is unhappy; On the other hand, before the college entrance examination, her eyes were almost fixed on her, and she couldn't see her idle for a while, for fear that her bad grades would embarrass her......
I was thinking this in my head, when suddenly a pair of white sneakers appeared in sight!
Xiao Qiao looked up in amazement, with tears on her face that she didn't know when, and Lin Baoyue was looking at her calmly!
"Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner in the evening!"
Lin Baoyue pulled Xiao Qiao up from the ground and muttered, "It's not easy for someone like me to invite a second guest, you have to take advantage of it!" ”
Xiao Qiao burst into tears, wiped the tears on his face, and said, "You also know that you pick the door, buy stamps with a little money, how much do you collect now?" ”
Lin Baoyue has a hobby of stamp collecting, no matter how much pocket money Lao Lin and Ms. Li give, she uses it to buy stamps!
Even Procter & Gamble's New Year's money was not spared!
However, this hobby came to an abrupt end with going to college, and as for entering the society after graduation, it was forgotten to the clouds!
The two went to KFC, which is some distance from home, but not too far away!
Because she was too full at noon, Lin Baoyue was not very hungry, she bought a set meal for Xiao Qiao, and she only ordered a cup of coffee, and looked out the window while drinking!
"Joe, remember how old we met?"
"When I was seven years old, my family had just moved in that year, and I was transferred to the first grade, because my parents had to go to work and didn't have time to send me, so I went to school with you in the morning. Yang Yuanyuan also likes to go with you, but she doesn't like me and thinks I robbed you, so after school, I found her third-grade cousin to come and beat me, you went to the teacher, and scolded Yang Yuanyuan! ”
Lin Baoyue was stunned, she had forgotten about this a long time ago, and she didn't have any impression at all, and when she asked them how old they met, she just asked casually, but she didn't expect Xiao Qiao to remember it so clearly!
At the beginning of this topic, memories are like a faucet that has opened the floodgates, and you can't stop it!
"When I was eight years old, I was pushed down and broke my head by my father, and he thought I was crying all the time to him, and the winter pushed me out of the house, and I had nowhere to go, so I went to your house. Your mother helped me bandage my wounds, and you left me to sleep in the same bed with you! Baoyue, you may not know, I have slept alone for as long as I can remember, and no one has ever been with me!
When I was nine years old, a boy in my class stuck gum to my hair, and you kicked him!
When I was 10 years old, we skipped class for the first time to go to the zoo to watch a dolphin show, and after being sued by the teacher, you stood up and said that you pulled me hard, I didn't deny it!
The eleven-year-old said that we would fight with Yang Yuanyuan and them, but you killed them alone, I prepared for a few days but didn't have a chance to make a move!
I ran away from home at the age of twelve, and you found me!
Thirteen years old......."
Xiao Qiao couldn't go on, she lowered her head and bit the hamburger in her hand, and tears fell one by one!
She has no siblings, her father dislikes her, and her mother seems to care about her, but in fact she just wants her to fight for her.
As for cousins and cousins, there is less contact and more estrangement!
So if it weren't for this quiet memory, she wouldn't have known that Baoyue occupied such an important position in her heart, which was equivalent to the position of brothers and sisters!
It's just that I don't know if their relationship can continue to be maintained after today!
"Baoyue, don't take what my mother said today, I didn't think about it like that, and I won't be jealous of you! On the contrary, from the moment I knew the results, I was always grateful to you, and I knew that if it weren't for you, I would definitely not have been able to pass the exam! I ......"
Xiao Qiao looked up and saw Lin Baoyue looking at her in a daze like a fool!
In fact, she was shocked, these trivial things about Chen sesame and rotten grains, Lin Baoyue had forgotten them all a long time ago, how could she have thought that Xiao Qiao would remember them so clearly!
"Xiao Qiao, you must do well in the future, Cloud City is a good city, since you chose to go there to study in college, then develop there after graduation, don't come back!"
Only by staying away from her parents can Xiao Qiao's life be smoother in the future!
The two looked out the window, and it was already dark, and the streets under the neon lights were full of people, all rushing to get home......
