Wan Chunju's voice has always been loud, and this barking startled the dogs and the old hen in the yard.
There was a sudden flutter of chickens and dogs jumping in and out of the courtyard.
Who would have thought that Wan Chunju, who is strong and strong, would be afraid of ghosts
She saw her legs go limp, her eyes rolled, and she lay straight on the ground the next moment.
Xiao Dongyun shrugged, and the little adult sighed: "I'm so sorry, my mother is so useless, I made you laugh!"
Da Qiao felt that the young sister's appearance was so funny, she couldn't help rubbing her head and said, "Quickly ask your father to come and carry your mother inside."
Xiao Dongyun nodded her head, she looked very cute, she turned around and ran towards the house, stopped after two steps and looked back at Huo Chi, saying: "Little brother, I like you, you look just like me I'm just as good-looking!"
In Xiao Dongyun's view, all the good-looking things in the world are with her, so she naturally likes the good-looking Huo Chi.
Huo Chi: "..."
Seeing the twitching of Huo Chi's mouth, everyone couldn't help laughing again.
Huo Chi turned his head and asked Da Qiao, "Does she often do this?"
Da Qiao smiled and nodded: "Well, sister Dongyun is very confident!"
Although Sister Dongyun is indeed not very good-looking, she likes this sister very much. The most rare thing is that she was brought up by her aunt without looking crooked.
The Qiao family welcomed Huo Chi's arrival and brought out all the delicious food in the house.
Huo Chi watched Qiao's family busy up and down for him, and his heart seemed to be full of something.
In the past few years he was in the army, although Master Jiang treated him very well and treated him as his own nephew, but he was always dependent on others, and there were always inconveniences of one kind or another.
The most worrying thing is that he is thousands of miles away from home. Even if he misses his family, he will not be able to come back these years.
Fortunately, this life is finally coming to an end!
At noon, Qiao Hongxia and Wang Yansheng brought a pair of children over, and everyone was very curious about the two children.
Both Qiao Hongxia and Wang Yansheng are good-looking, and their children will naturally not look ugly, but they are not as delicate as Da Qiao's brothers and sisters.
Yiming loves his younger siblings very much, and the two young ones also listen to his elder brother very much. The three siblings get along very harmoniously and lovingly. From this, it can be seen that Yiming is not treated differently in this family.
And it is true.
Not long after Qiao Hongxia and Wang Yansheng got married, Wang Yansheng decided to change Yiming's surname, saying to the outside world that he was his son. The two younger members of the family still don't know that Yiming is their half-brother.
For reorganized families, the most sensitive ones are the children brought by the previous family. Even if they do not do well, they may feel that they are not welcome and that they are superfluous.
Fortunately, this situation did not happen to Yiming, he seemed so cheerful and active.
Seeing this, everyone felt relieved.
At noon, Xue Chuan personally cooked a plate of braised fish, a plate of secret garlic pork ribs, a plate of delicious twice-cooked pork, and a large pot of wolfberry leaf egg soup.
Now half of the fields in the production team are planted with goji berries, and everyone basically uses goji berry leaves to cook and eat every day.
During the period, Wang Yansheng also talked about the development of wolfberry. He said that now that the country is determined to develop the economy, Qili Village can expand the planting area of wolfberry.
After everyone heard this, there was naturally another burst of discussion and joy.
Thanks to the wolfberry route, the economic situation of the production team has been getting better and better in recent years. The Qili production team used to be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the commune. Now, when the entire commune talks about the Qili production team, who would not envy it
After eating, Da Qiao and Huo Chi left Qiao's house and came to their secret base - Xilinzi.
Since Huo Chi left, Da Qiao rarely came here.
In the past few years, Xilin has also been developed and planted with many wolfberry trees, and now more and more people come here.
It was noon, and no one came from Xilin, so the two came to the waterfall.
The splashing water rushed down from above the waterfall, splashed on the stones, and hit the back of the hands cool.
Da Qiao sat down on a rock, looked up at Huo Chi and asked, "Brother Huo Chi, is there something on your mind?"
From the time we met to the present, although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, Da Qiao always felt that the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Huo Chi leaned on a big rock opposite her, raised his eyes slightly to look at her and said, "How do you know I have something on my mind?"
They have been separated for more than four years, and she has changed from the soft and sticky little dumpling to a girl who makes people unable to take their eyes off.
She has milk-like white skin, delicate facial features like a painting, slender waist and long legs, and now she has the embryonic form of a little beauty, exactly like the person he saw in his dream.
That's right, since they parted, Huo Chi would dream of Da Qiao every once in a while as before, and Da Qiao in the dream grew up with time.
The last time I dreamed of her was two months ago, she looks similar to now, if there is any difference, it is that she seems to have grown taller again.
Thinking of the scene when she called him Huo Chi's brother when they met for the second time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Da Qiao said: "When Brother Huo Chi is really happy, the corners of his eyes will droop slightly, but until now, I haven't seen Brother Huo Chi smile like that."
"You remember it very clearly."
Huo Chi didn't expect that after so many years, she could still remember some of her small movements, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.
Da Qiao nodded her head: "Yeah, I remember everything about Brother Huo Chi very clearly."
When she said this, she put her hands on her thighs, like a three-good student, and she looked very cute.
The corners of Huo Chi's mouth rose further: "I'm really thinking about something. Before I came back, I received a call from my mother. Although she didn't say anything, I always felt that something happened at home."
Da Qiao blinked her fan-like eyelashes: "Why did Brother Huo Chi say that?"
Huo Chi said: "My dad came back after being missing for many years. Logically speaking, my mom should be very happy, but when she called me, her tone was very restrained. I couldn't find a trace of joy in her words!"
The little expression on Da Qiao's face also became serious: "Did Brother Huo Chi ask Aunt Fang?"
Huo Chi nodded: "I asked my mother tactfully, but she avoided it and said she was waiting for me in Beijing."
Da Qiao thought for a while, but didn't come up with a reason: "Aunt Fang didn't say anything, she must be afraid that brother Huo Chi would be worried, since that's the case, brother Huo Chi shouldn't think too much, he'll know when he goes to Beijing. "
Huo Chi nodded.
It was impossible not to worry, but he didn't want Da Qiao to worry with him, so he nodded in agreement.
Da Qiao looked in the direction of Beijing City, and said with a longing look on his face: "I heard that Beijing City is very big and beautiful. I must be admitted to Beijing City University in the future!"
But she is only in the second year of junior high school now, and it will be several years before she takes the college entrance examination.
Huo Chi looked up at her: "Do you want to go to Beijing?"
Da Qiao nodded like a chick scratching rice, his eyes sparkling: "Yeah, I wanted to go when I was reading Chinese textbooks in elementary school!"
Huo Chi: "Didn't your grandma want to send your eldest sister to Beijing to report? Why didn't you take the opportunity to follow?"
Da Qiao was stunned for a moment: "But I have to go to class."
Huo Chi: "With your intelligence, shouldn't you have taught yourself the knowledge of the second year of junior high school?"
Da Qiao's pink lips bloomed: "Brother Huo Chi, you are so amazing, you guessed it all!"
She has indeed learned all the textbooks for the second year of junior high school by herself, and now she is already studying the textbooks for the second semester of high school by herself.
Originally, according to her self-study ability and grades, she was fully qualified to skip a grade, but because she was too young, if she skipped another grade, wouldn't she be less than fourteen years old when she took the college entrance examination!
At that time, even if she was admitted to Beijing City University, her family would not let her go at ease, so she didn't skip a grade, but went up to study step by step.
The corner of Huo Chi's mouth twitched again: "It's still a guess? Now that you've learned it all, isn't it okay to go to Beijing with us?"
Da Qiao's eyes lit up: "Yes, Brother Huo Chi, you are right, I'll go tell Grandpa and Grandma right away!"
Speaking of which, she jumped up and was about to run, but was stopped by Huo Chi.
Huo Chi took out a wooden figure carved from his pocket, handed it to her and said, "This is for you."
Da Qiao took it over, and immediately let out a voice of admiration: "It's like me! Brother Huo Chi, how did you do it?"
The last time she sent a photo was three years ago. Although Qiao's family is better off than the average family, they can't just squander their money.
It costs ten cents to take a photo. How can such a luxurious thing be done every year, so after more than four years of separation, she only sent the photo once.
Huo Chi saw how she couldn't put it down, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Didn't you just say that I'm smart? How can such a small matter trouble me?"
Da Qiao looked adoring, and nodded his head: "Brother Huo Chi is amazing! Brother Huo Chi, can I ask you to carve another one for me?"
Huo Chi stood up straight: "Say it."
Da Qiao pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I want only Goo Goo."
Huo Chi: "..."
Although before she opened her mouth, he guessed that there was a 90% chance that she would mention Gu Gu, but he still had a chance, hoping that she would ask him for one of his carved wooden figures.
Facts have proved that in her heart, his status is still inferior to Gu Gu!
heart block.
Seeing that he was watching him not moving, Da Qiao called out: "Brother Huo Chi, is my request embarrassing for you?"
Huo Chi came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's not difficult, I'll carve one for you later."
Carving is indeed not difficult for him now, but in order to learn how to carve, his hands were cut all year round, but there is no need to tell her about such things.
Da Qiao laughed happily, and the two chatted and laughed out of Xi Linzi.
As soon as Da Qiao went back, she immediately told her grandpa and grandma about going to Beijing with her.
Everyone in the production team now knows that what Xue Chuan and Qiao Xiuzhi love the most is not Anping, nor the twins, but Da Qiao, the granddaughter. !
If everyone knew that Qiao Xiuzhi bought Da Qiao a house in the town, everyone would probably be so scared that their eyes and jaws would drop.
Sure enough, after hearing Da Qiao's words, Xue Chuan and Qiao Xiuzhi agreed after only a little thought.
In their view, it is a good thing for Big Joe to go out and see more.
So that night, they announced the news to Qiao's family.
The other children were all very envious, but no one was jealous of Da Qiao, or felt resentful because of it.
Who told them that either their grades were not as good as Da Qiao's, or they were too young, in short, they were not suitable for traveling far!
On the contrary, Qiao Zhenguo felt extremely wronged: "Dad, Mom, why didn't you let me go, but brought Da Qiao's niece?"
Qiao Xiuzhi said: "Did I not let you go? I told you to go later. You have four children, and the other three will pass the exam in the future. Are you afraid that you won't have a chance to take them with you?"
Qiao Zhenguo was right when he thought about it, and immediately threw his grievances to the horizon.
When Wan Chunju saw that her man's mother-in-law had dealt with her with just a few words, she suddenly felt overwhelmed!
Anping, on the other hand, was obsessed with eating: "Sister Qiao, I heard from my classmates that the roast duck in Beijing is very delicious, and there are also western restaurants. Can you bring me a roast duck later?"
Da Qiao nodded very readily: "No problem, I'll bring three or four back later!"
When he went back to the capital city, Da Qiao discovered that the price of the roast duck in the capital city was staggeringly expensive!
But that's another story.
—
Because Qiao Donghe had to rush to report to school, everyone set off two days later.
Originally Huo Chi wanted Wang Yansheng to take them to the capital in person, but now that Qiao's family was traveling with him, he didn't go, and went back to the army with Qiao Hongxia.
Because thinking that Qiao Donghe will be away for a year, and will not go home during this period, so this time, all the family has and can be used will be packed and typed together.
After packing it up, there are actually a dozen or so burdens!
Fortunately, Qiao Xiuzhi alone can outlast five or six people, and Da Qiao is also a strong man, so the other three can help, so these things did not burden everyone.
A group of people set off to the county to take the train, not wanting to meet Qiao Donghe's classmate—Luo Junliang at the train station.
Luo Junliang was an acquaintance. When he saw Qiao Donghe, he grinned his white teeth and greeted her: "It's you! Which school did you go to?"
Qiao Donghe pursed her lips, and her cheeks were pink: "I was admitted to the Normal University in Beijing, how about you?"
Luo Junliang clapped his hands and laughed: "What a coincidence, so am I!"
Qiao Donghe couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and also thought it was a coincidence: "You also applied for Normal University?"
Luo Junliang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, but my grades just happened to be low and passed by. I was so worried before that I was afraid that I would not be admitted!"
Luo Junliang's grades are usually only considered to be at the upper-middle level in school, but he did not expect that this time he performed exceptionally, and it was several points higher than usual.
But even so, his grades are not as good as Qiao Donghe's.
Hearing what he said, Qiao Donghe immediately had the feeling of having found a bosom friend: "Actually, this time I also performed exceptionally well. When I applied for this school, I felt particularly hopeless!"
It was just because she really wanted to study at the Normal University in Beijing, so she thought of taking a gamble, but she was lucky enough to be admitted!
The two chatted more and more, and then they heard the man next to Luo Junliang cough and said in a deep voice, "Junliang, is this your classmate? Why don't you introduce it to your family?"
It was Luo Junliang's father Luo Qing who was speaking, and the other party was the director of the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, who was the leader who targeted Qiao Zhenmin at the beginning.
Luo Junliang didn't know the relationship between his family and Qiao's family, so he pointed to Qiao Donghe and introduced to his family: "This is Qiao Donghe. She was in the class next to me in high school, but her grades are better than mine!"
Luo Qing took a look at Qiao Donghe, felt that the girl was gentle and liked her very much, so he nodded towards her.
Qiao Donghe was very uncomfortable in front of strangers, and said hello with a blushing face: "Hello, Uncle Luo."
Then she also introduced her family to the Luo family.
It's okay if there is no introduction, but once Luo Qing is introduced, something is wrong.
Luo Qing knew Qiao Xiuzhi. When Qiao Zhenmin was still working in the supply and marketing cooperative, she came to the supply and marketing cooperative to find her son. He met her once from a distance.
At the beginning, he just transferred here and wanted to consolidate his power in the supply and marketing cooperative, so he took Qiao Zhenmin as a knife. After Qiao Zhenmin left, he learned from other people that the Qiao family was actually the relative of the deputy director of the police station!
At that time, he was terribly worried, afraid that Qiao Zhenmin would retaliate against him, but after worrying for a while, he found that nothing happened.
It turned out that he was a villain!
So when he saw Qiao's house at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Qiao Xiuzhi had never met Luo Qing, so naturally she didn't know his identity.
Luo Qing didn't want to say it at first, but after spending so long on the train, he had to face the Qiao family every day. He couldn't stand it, and finally apologized to the Qiao family on the third day.
Luo Junliang didn't expect his father to do such a thing, he was shocked, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for Qiao Donghe.
He apologized to Qiao Donghe: "I'm sorry, I didn't know my dad did that to your uncle!"
Qiao Donghe waved his hand: "You don't need to apologize to me, it's not your fault."
This is what Luo Junliang's father did, not him, not to mention that he, like himself, only found out today.
Qiao Xiuzhi also accepted Luo Qing's apology.
After all, although Luo Qing targeted Qiao Zhenmin back then, he didn't do anything sinister. It's been so long, so why bother to take such small things to heart.
Besides, his son and Qiao Donghe are in the same school. If the relationship between the two families is good, he can still ask him to take care of Qiao Donghe. A girl is outside, which makes people uneasy.
Luo Qing didn't expect the Qiao family to forgive him so easily, and felt relieved. At the same time, he felt that the Qiao family's tutor was very good, and privately told his son to take more care of the Qiao family's girls when he went to school.
Naturally, Luo Junliang had no response.
—
After ten days and ten nights, everyone came to Beijing.
The Huo family knew that their son and the Qiao family came to Beijing together, so they had already sent someone to guard at the train station.
When she saw her son coming out of the train, Dai Shufang burst into tears: "My son, let mom take a good look at you! You have grown taller and your appearance is different!"
Huo Chi let his mother touch and look at him with a good temper, his eyes were red.
Huo Huaqing hadn't seen his grandson for several years, and seeing his grandson come back safely now, he was so happy that he burst into tears.
People come and go at the train station, not a place to talk.
Although Dai Shufang was very excited, she quickly restrained herself. She turned her head and thanked the Qiao family: "Aunt Xiuzhi, thank you for bringing Chi'er here. You go to my house first, and then we will send you to school!"
Qiao Xiuzhi and Xue Chuan refused.
Father and son had been separated for so many years, and on such an important occasion, Huo Zhengchen should have come over, but now not only was Huo Zhengchen nowhere to be seen, but Dai Shufang and Huo Huaqing also kept silent about this person.
The two of them were keen to see something was wrong, presumably something happened to the Huo family, so they might not be in the mood to entertain them at this time.
Besides, the car driven by Huo's family can't hold so many people, so they just go to the school to report directly.
Dai Shufang didn't insist on seeing what Qiao's family said, but she repeatedly told them to go to Huo's house as guests after they reported to school, and they must not run away secretly!
For this, the Qiao family agreed.
The Qiao family and the Luo family will report to the Normal University together.
The Huo family went home in a car.
On the way back, Huo Chi couldn't help asking his mother: "Mom, where's my dad? Why didn't he come over? Did something happen?"
Dai Shufang originally wanted to let her son rest for two days first, and then tell him after two days, but seeing that he mentioned it now, she simply didn't hide it, and told the whole story about Huo Zhengchen having a wife and children outside.
When Huo Chi heard this, his face became elongated immediately.
In fact, Dai Shufang had already left room for the other party. Since that day, Huo Zhengchen hadn't appeared again. It was heard that Wang Anna had a miscarriage.
But she didn't feel sorry at all. Wang Anna fell down by herself at that time, not others pushed her down.
Huo Chi's heart was burning with anger, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed: "Mom, what are you going to do?"
Huo Huaqing was helpless and worried when he heard his grandson's words in the front seat.
The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, but his daughter-in-law and grandson have been by his side all these years. If it weren't for them, he would have been unable to live.
So at this time, if he said anything that favored his son, it would only chill the hearts of his daughter-in-law and grandson.
He had already made up his mind that he would live with his daughter-in-law and grandson.
The son has been missing for so many years, since he has another family, let's continue to treat him as missing.
Dai Shufang looked at her son with a struggling look on her face: "Chi'er, I... I want to divorce your father."
The Huo Zhengchen she knew had died twelve years ago, the Huo Zhengchen who was alive now was not the Huo Zhengchen she knew, nor her husband, he was Wang Anna's husband!
She thinks a man who has been touched by another woman is dirty, and she doesn't want to post it to her!
When Huo Chi heard his mother's words, he said without hesitation: "Then leave!"
Anyway, he hasn't had a father in the past twelve years, and it won't have any impact if he doesn't have one in the future!
In Huo Chi's heart, his family only had his mother and grandfather. If that so-called father would hurt his family, he would definitely kill him without hesitation!
When Dai Shufang heard her son's words, she felt excited and her eyes turned red.
But she thought that her son had no father's love since he was a child. If they divorced, his son would definitely not follow Huo Zhengchen.
This means that her son will still not get his father's love in the future, which makes her feel that she owes her son.
Huo Chi saw the fucking struggle, and comforted him: "Mom, you don't have to worry about me, I've grown up, we've survived all the hard work before, and we don't need him in the future!"
Dai Shufang looked at her son who had grown into a teenager, and touched his head with red eyes: "Okay, my Chi'er has finally grown up, and mother will rely on you from now on!"
Huo Chi nodded solemnly.
He will protect the Huo family in the future!
Huo Huaqing, who was sitting in front, sighed when he heard what his daughter-in-law and grandson said, but he didn't say anything after all.
Just leave.
