Zhou Qiaoxiu smiled: "It turned out to be a childhood friend, you are all surnamed Zhao, you should also be relatives, right?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan's answer avoided the important and trivialized: "I grew up in Zhaojiagou, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Zhao. ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu glanced at Xu Songling and gave an order: "Old Xu, Xiang Wan is an honest child, it's rare for her to speak, this is treating us as your own people, you have to take this matter to heart." ”

Xu Songling saluted: "Yes!" Guaranteed completion of the task. ”

The baby also learned to salute on the side, and his voice was delicate: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

Everyone laughed when they saw the child repeating the words of the adults like a sound worm, looking funny and cute.

In the joyful laughter, Zhao Xiangwan shared and ate cakes for the first time in her life, and the soft, fragrant, sweet and greasy taste made her feel that the world was really beautiful.

After eating, the baby pulled Zhao Xiangwan and didn't let her go.

Children have the most acute perception of people's good and evil, and the baby is very attached to Zhao Xiangwan.

When I used to get along with Mei Mei, the baby was very willful, grabbing toys and throwing things, which provoked Zhou Qiaoxiu to teach her a lesson. But now with Zhao Xiangwan, the baby is well-behaved and obedient, willing to share his beloved toys.

Zhou Qiaoxiu saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but reflect on whether she made a mistake when dealing with the sisterhood, she used to see that Meimei was always humble and scolded by her sister and didn't fight back, she would feel sorry for Meimei and teach the baby a lesson, but now I think about it, could it be that Meimei did it on purpose?

Thinking of Mei Mei's scheming, Zhou Qiaoxiu shuddered, and looked at Zhao Xiangwan's eyes more lovingly. Fortunately, fortunately, there was no big mistake, and everything was still in time. If Mei Mei succeeds, she will live in regret for the rest of her life.

Zhou Qiaoxiu made a suggestion: "Xiang Wan, can you accompany me and the baby to the Friendship Mall?" It's rare that this weekend, after eating and eating cake, I also ate it, and I just turned around to eliminate food. ”

Zhao Xiangwan shook his head and refused: "I don't go to the mall, I have to go back to the dormitory to read." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu looked at her with disgust: "Isn't this the baby reluctant to let you go?" You'll just stay with the baby. ”

The baby grabbed the corner of Zhao Xiangwan's clothes and coquettishly said: "Sister, don't go." ”

At the same time, a soft and glutinous child's voice sounded in my head

[Sister, don't go. 】

The baby's clear eyes, innocent words, and consistent voice made Zhao Xiangwan's heart soft, although she rejected physical contact with people, but innocent children were exceptions. She bent down to pick up the baby and said softly, "Okay, my sister won't go." ”

The night is slightly cool, and the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Zhao Xiangwan followed Zhou Qiaoxiu out of the school gate. Public Security University is located in the south of Xingshi City, about a quarter of an hour's walk from the Friendship Mall.

Friendship Mall is a newly opened shopping mall in the 80s and the most lively commercial center in the south of the city. At seven o'clock in the evening, when the crowd is at its most crowded, there are many roadside stalls and vendors selling roast wings, socks, clothes, and toys......

The baby's eyes were suddenly attracted by a stall in front of him, and he raised his hand and shouted there: "Doll, doll!" ”

More than a dozen colored plaster dolls are placed on a plastic sheet, there are piglets, rabbits, kittens, and blonde dolls, the color is pink and tender, and the shape is full of childlike fun, even Zhao Xiangwan is the first time to see such a beautiful and fun thing, so she stopped and looked at it twice.

A small rechargeable table lamp is shining, reflecting the plaster dolls placed in the stall particularly conspicuously, and the stall owner smiles to attract guests: "Don't miss it when you pass by, the plaster dolls designed by the students of the Academy of Fine Arts, two yuan each, cheap and good-looking~"

Two dollars a piece is still cheap? Zhao Xiangwan was stunned for a moment, the school issued a meal ticket of 32 yuan a month, and two yuan was enough for her to eat for two or three days.

Zhou Qiaoxiu glanced at Zhao Xiangwan, smiled, and bent down to pick two: "Xiangwan is a cow, the baby is a rabbit, I will buy a calf and a rabbit." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu paid quickly, carrying two plaster dolls in a transparent plastic bag and stood up from the stall.

Zhao Xiangwan couldn't stop holding the baby, pursed his lips, and said to Zhou Qiaoxiu very seriously: "If you buy me something again, I'll go back to school now." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, just buy one, your birthday gift." ”

Seeing their interaction, the stall owner said enviously: "Eldest sister, your daughter is sensible, and she can help you take care of the little one." ”

Zhou Qiaoxiu laughed when she heard this, and simply stretched out her left hand to grab Zhao Xiangwan's shoulder: "No, my big girl can read and be sensible." ”

Zhao Xiangwan was hugged by her, unable to dodge, the sound of warm breathing brushed in his ears, and his back suddenly became stiff.

Feeling the rejection of Zhao Xiangwan's body, Zhou Qiaoxiu's distress became more and more profound, and she let go of her hand and said softly: "I really hope you are my daughter, Zhao Xiangwan." ”

[If I have a child as soon as I get married, I am almost as old as Zhao Xiangwan, but unfortunately I don't have such a good life. 】

Hearing Zhou Qiaoxiu's melancholy words in her heart, Zhao Xiangwan said softly: "You are my teacher, and it's the same. ”

The regret was soothed by this sentence, Zhou Qiaoxiu smiled and nodded, and did not say anything more.

Zhao Xiangwan kept a fist distance from Zhou Qiaoxiu, and slowly walked forward along the flow of people, unaware that an unusually hot gaze was staring at her in the distance, as if it was about to burn her back.

The owner of this fiery gaze was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

The girl has a high ponytail, melon seed face, big eyes, although she is not tall, she is very good at dressing up, goose yellow knitwear, light brown plaid strap skirt, white socks with lace, brown wide leather shoes, plus a cross-body rattan bag, making her look fashionable and lively, pretty and cute.

The girl was surrounded by three girls of the same age to visit the night market, and suddenly saw Zhao Xiangwan's figure in the flow of people, she was stunned, staring at Zhao Xiangwan's tall and slender back in a daze, and did not speak for a long time.

A girl shook her arm: "Zhao Chenyang, what are you looking at?" ”

Zhao Chenyang came back to his senses, but his heart seemed to have 10,000 wild horses galloping: Zhao Xiangwan! How did she come to Star Market? Didn't you tell your parents again and again before leaving, let her stay in the countryside and never go anywhere, and never let her have a chance?

Chapter 8 Internships

◎ Are there no female suspects? ◎

Zhao Chenyang was sure that she had not seen the wrong person, and Zhao Xiangwan, who made her envious and jealous in her previous life, would not admit her mistake even if she peeled off the skin and burned it to ashes.

Compared with when he was a child, Zhao Xiangwan is now taller and more beautiful, although his clothes are not as foreign and rich as in his previous life, but the tenacity in his bones is revealed from his eyebrows and eyes, and he has not changed at all.

The girls who came out to play together shouted: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up and shop." It's rare that I have time to ask you out to play together on the weekend, so I have to hurry up and buy enough. ”

An unprecedented sense of crisis came up, where was Zhao Chenyang still in the mood to go shopping at the moment, so he made a reason to go home in a hurry.

Walking into the compound of the Provincial Party Committee, the neat unit buildings, the flower beds full of various colors and seasons, and the lush trees, everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful, which made Zhao Chenyang's uneasy heart relax a little.

After living in the provincial party committee compound for six years, Zhao Chenyang has long been accustomed to everything here.

Father Zhao Qingyun was the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, and was assigned to work in the Zhu County Construction Committee in 1981.

After her mother Wei Meihua returned to her hometown, she found a relationship and was assigned to work in the trade union of the Hunan Provincial Machinery Factory, and after getting married and having children, she concentrated on taking care of the family, and became the deputy director of the office of the machinery factory because of Zhao Qingyun's relationship. said that he was the deputy director, but in fact, he was an idle position, and he usually didn't have much work, and it was common for him to be late and leave early.

Younger brother Zhao Chengzu was born in 1982 and is in the third grade of primary school this year.

Zhao Chenyang cherishes his current life very much. There are no cramped adobe houses, no dirty rammed earth, no dilapidated village schools. finally became a city person, and became the daughter of the official family, she will never allow all this to disappear.

Zhao Chenyang has a cold heart, and has not been in contact with his biological parents since he left home at the age of ten. But now seeing Zhao Xiangwan appear in the Star Market, Zhao Chenyang's sense of weakness and fear made Zhao Chenyang go straight to the telephone in the corner of the living room as soon as he entered the door.

On weekend nights, there was never anyone at home. The nanny came home at night, his mother played mahjong with his card friends, his father was out to socialize, and his younger brother went to his grandparents' house who loved him the most.

"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"

The phone number left in the depths of my memory was dialed out, this is the phone number of the director of the Zhaojiagou Village Committee, Zhao Chenyang was working outside in his previous life, and when he was homesick, he would call this phone and ask his mother to pick it up.

After tossing for a while, I finally heard the voice of my mother Qian Shufen.

Qian Shufen's voice trembled on the phone, and she seemed to be so excited that she couldn't believe it: "Fourth sister, fourth sister, is it you?" Do you remember to call......"

Zhao Chenyang interrupted her words and cut straight to the point: "Where is Zhao Xiangwan now?" ”

Qian Shufen was stumbling for a long time.

Zhao Chenyang said unceremoniously: "I saw her in Star City, why did she enter the city?!" ”

Qian Shufen explained humbly: "After graduating from primary school, I didn't want to send her to junior high school, but you don't know that she has always insisted on studying. She can make trouble, junior high school teachers, primary school principals, village committee leaders, and village elders all come to the house to talk to your father, we really have no choice but to continue to send her to school. ”

"I ask you, why is she in Star City? Is it a part-time job or a ......"

Zhao Chenyang's heart suddenly rose a hope, maybe Zhao Xiangwan graduated from junior high school and went to the city to be a little nanny? When I saw her tonight, she was walking with a little girl and another middle-aged woman in her arms, right! It is very likely that she came to Star City to work as a nanny.

However, Qian Shufen's words shattered her illusions: "That, she is studying in college in Star City." ”

Because he was too stunned, Zhao Chenyang's voice became sharp and high-pitched: "How is it possible? I only went to a junior college, how did she get into college! ”

In his previous life, Zhao Xiangwan was admitted to Kyoto University, which ranked first in the country, and after graduation, he married into a wealthy family under the arrangement of his parents, full of luxury and happiness. But what about Zhao Chenyang? dropped out of junior high school to go out to work, returned to his hometown at the age of 20 to marry and have children, and the two sisters stood together and stood tall.

Zhao Xiangwan was taken back to the city by Zhao Qingyun and did not forget the grace of parenting, came back to visit his parents and aunt during the New Year's holidays, and took care of his brother and sister everywhere, and the people in the village praised Zhao Xiangwan for having a conscience, only Zhao Chenyang was full of resentment, thinking that she deliberately showed off in front of herself.

Reborn at the age of six, Zhao Chenyang was ecstatic and decided to win back this game. usually occupies the identity of her sister and deliberately lets Zhao Xiangwan work more and does not let her study hard, and she feels faintly happy when she is wronged and wipes her tears. When Zhao Qingyun came to find someone, he instigated his parents to replace the identities of the two.

Zhao Chenyang seized Zhao Xiangwan's resources, entered the city smoothly, and went to the best elementary school, junior high school, and high school, thinking that he could be admitted to the first university in the country like Zhao Xiangwan, but he didn't expect her to be talented enough to read.

Originally, Zhao Chenyang was still happy, and felt that if she started again, she would definitely be better than Zhao Xiangwan - she was a daughter in the city, was admitted to a junior college, and had a bright future; Zhao Xiangwan was tortured in the countryside, and the conditions were difficult, and he could not enter the city for the rest of his life.

Who knows, Zhao Xiangwan was admitted to university with his ability!

Zhao Chenyang didn't want to admit that he couldn't compare to Zhao Xiangwan anyway, so he vented this pressure and jealousy on his biological mother, who had not been in touch for eight years: "What the hell are you doing!" Knowing that I was in the Star Market, and letting her be admitted to the Star City, did she wish she found the truth and found here? You guys are really pigs' brains, and no one will be able to settle down when the time comes! ”

Qian Shufen was scolded by her daughter, and she was so anxious that she almost shed tears.

"You, you dead girl, you haven't had a letter for eight years, and you finally made a phone call to contact you and scolded people when you opened your mouth, so unconscionable! Who is Pig Braincase? I think you're the pig's brain! Zhao Xiang will read at the party, what can I do? She has good grades in elementary school, and you don't know it!

When she was in junior high school, the head teacher paid to help her pay for tuition, she was the first in the county every year, and the high school entrance examination was the first in the county by the county No. 1 middle school, the school not only did not charge a penny for tuition, but also paid money and rice bonuses, and this year's college entrance examination was the first in the county to be admitted to the Public Security University, what do you let me do? It was the Public Security University, and the big police badge on the notice stabbed my eyes, and I didn't dare to tear it. I...... I can't force her to go to college with a knife, can I? ”

Zhao Chenyang was stunned, and he didn't know where he was for a while.

There were so many people who helped her study. First in the high school entrance examination and first in the college entrance examination, and was admitted to Hunan Provincial Public Security University with excellent results! How could she start over and rob her parents and resources, Zhao Xiangwan was still able to overcome obstacles and walk out of a bright road in the patriarchal, poor and ignorant countryside?

"Four sisters, four sisters?"

Hearing that there was suddenly no sound on the other end of the microphone, Qian Shufen called repeatedly. Mother and son are connected, and Qian Shufen has countless things to say to her daughter. She wanted to ask her daughter how Zhao Qingyun and Wei Meihua treated her, whether she was well fed and clothed in the city, whether anyone bullied her, and why she didn't contact her family for so long......

But Zhao Chenyang had no interest in communicating any further, "Smack!" He hung up the phone and sat on the sofa in a daze, thinking about countermeasures in his head.

A few days later, Xu Songling handed over a copy of Zhao Chenyang's household registration information to Zhao Xiangwan.

Sure enough, as long as you find the right person, the public security system will be easy to do. Officer Xu not only asked his colleagues in the household registration department to find Zhao Chenyang's file, but also specially copied her school registration information, parents' unit, and home address.

"Zhao Xiangwan, the Zhao Chenyang you are looking for has the same birthday as you."

Zhao Xiangwan took the information and checked it carefully, without raising his head: "Hmm." I always thought she and I were twins until I was ten years old, and I found out that we were not sisters until I was ten years old. ”

Officer Xu, who had read the information, was confused: "Zhao Chenyang's father, Zhao Qingyun, is now the leader of the provincial party committee, how could he send his children to the countryside to raise them back then?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan raised her eyes and glanced at him, Xu Songling always felt that she was hiding a lot of things in her heart. The eighteen-year-old girl in the flower season should be the time when she loves to laugh and make trouble, but this girl's eyes are deep and quiet, as if she has experienced a lot.

Zhou Qiaoxiu asked with concern: "Zhao Xiangwan, the Zhao Chenyang you are looking for is a leader, if you haven't seen her for so many years and rashly go to find it, will she recognize you?" There are a lot of people who have no conscience in this world. ”

With Meimei's matter in front of her, Zhou Qiaoxiu had a very bad impression of Zhao Chenyang.

Before the age of ten, Zhao Chenyang and Zhao Xiangwan lived under the same roof, and they were called sisters. People say "be rich and noble, don't forget each other", she is good, as soon as she enters the city, she leaves behind the nurturing grace of her adoptive parents and the companionship of her childhood friends.

This kind of person who has no conscience, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Zhou Qiaoxiu was afraid that Zhao Xiangwan would be disappointed and sad, so she deliberately nodded.

Hearing Zhou Qiaoxiu's words, Zhao Xiangwan looked down at the white paper full of information in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Zhao Chenyang...... She won't fail to recognize me. ”

How can a scheming thief, a robber who robs other people's resources, a person who steps on someone else's shoulder and climbs upward, forget the face of the bitter Lord?
