This is a well-dressed man.
The man's facial features are very handsome, but the whole crowd is sloppy, giving people a very unscrupulous feeling.
And he looks much older than Qiao Dongying.
Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they saw this man.
One is that they have never heard Qiao Dongying mention the person she has dated with, and the other is that they never thought that Qiao Dongying would like this type of man.
This completely subverted everyone's understanding of her!
Seeing everyone's stupefied looks, Qiao Dongying grinned and said, "What's wrong with all of you? Why don't you make any noise? Don't you recognize me?"
Only then did everyone come back to their senses.
Da Qiao walked over, took her hand and said, "Sister Ying, everyone is too surprised, because you said before that you would not come back this summer vacation, everyone thought they would not see you until the Spring Festival!"
Qiao Dongying looked at her, amazement and envy flashed in his eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've grown a lot taller!" And she's so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off!
Da Qiao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I have grown a lot taller. My grandma said that if I continue to grow, I will be taller than her!"
She is sixteen years old this year, and she is already 1.7 meters tall, but because of her grandparents and grandfather's good genes, the Qiao family is not short.
While the two sisters were talking, the man standing behind Qiao Dongying glanced over Da Qiao's face and body, his eyes were shining with surprise.
His movement was caught by Da Qiao, and her pretty brows frowned.
But in the end he didn't speak.
That night, the man named Wu Yi lived in Qiao's house.
Although the Qiao family's house has been sold, the buyer agreed to let them live in it before the big house moved to Beijing. Of course, the Qiao family did not take advantage of the other party in vain, and gave the buyer a lot of good things.
When it was time for dinner, everyone knew through the conversation that Wu Yi was actually eight years older than Qiao Dongying.
Qiao Dongying is 20 years old this year, which means Wu Yi is 28 years old this year!
In this era, everyone gets married relatively early. Twenty-eight years old is already an old age for both men and women. If people get married early, their children are now older than Xiao Dongyun and the twins.
But this man named Wu Yi is not married yet!
That's where it gets a little weird.
Wu Yi saw the strange expressions of Qiao's family, as if he was used to it: "I grew up in the United States, and I didn't come back to the motherland until last year."
Qiao Xiuzhi heard the words, and said calmly: "It turns out that Comrade Wu grew up in the United States. If you don't tell me, you really can't tell. After all, Comrade Wu's Mandarin is too authentic."
Although they are Chinese, since they grew up abroad, they should have some accents, just like Anna Wang and her daughter Huo Jing.
But this man named Wu Yi didn't have the slightest accent, and it was extremely smooth.
When Wu Yi heard this, his face froze for a moment: "That's because my family members all speak Mandarin at home. My grandfather often said that even if we are in other countries, we can't forget that we are descendants of Yan and Huang!"
Xue Chuan said: "Your grandfather is quite right. But even in the United States, at your age, the family should have arranged for you a long time ago. How did you get married at this age?"
Wu Yi sighed and said: "When I was in the country of America, I had a fiancée, but she fell ill and passed away. I was too sad, so I had no intention of finding someone to marry again. It was not until the year before last that I slowly got over the grief. After returning to China, I met Dongying, I think she is a very good girl!"
The others didn't say anything, but when Wan Chunju heard that Wu Yi came back from America, she was so excited that her face flushed red.
It is now 1982. Although the country is open to the outside world, it is not easy to get out.
The number of government-sponsored overseas students is limited. For those who want to go abroad, getting married is one of the easiest and "honorable" ways.
In their small place, there are very few people who marry abroad, but after witnessing the Huo family's sudden wealth, the idea of "foreigners" having money is fixed in Wan Chunju's mind like a sea magic needle.
When Qiao Donghe was admitted to the university, she secretly held her hand and told her to find a local man to marry. At that time, Qiao Donghe was so angry that tears came out.
Wan Chunju was also very angry, she didn't expect Qiao Donghe to be so "disappointed", and she found a fellow villager after looking around!
And Qiao Dongying has been tough and not submissive since she was a child, Wan Chunju felt that if she wanted to marry abroad, it would be harder than going to heaven!
Who knew that her least optimistic daughter would bring back an overseas Chinese from the United States!
"Oh, Xiao Wu, you are right. My Dong Ying is not only beautiful, but also gentle. You really have a good eye for her!" Wan Chunju smiled, "Dong Ying Ah, didn't you see that Xiao Wu's soup is finished? Why don't you hurry up and get another bowl?"
Wan Chunju's attitude is too flattering, there is no need to be like this.
So what if the United States comes back? Is he superior to the people of the country
Qiao Xiuzhi pulled her face down and said, "Boss daughter-in-law, the chickens and dogs in the yard haven't been fed yet, since you're full, then you can feed them."
Wan Chunju was taken aback for a moment: "Mom, I'm not full yet!"
In order to please her future son-in-law, she only ate one bowl of rice so far, and she doesn't feel any stomach feeling at all. She can eat three more bowls!
Qiao Xiuzhi gave her a cool look: "I said you are full when you are full!"
Wan Chunju: "..."
Qiao Zhenguo said: "Daughter-in-law, just listen to your mother, I will leave a pork knuckle for you to eat later!"
"One elbow is not enough to eat, I want two chicken legs!"
Wan Chunju was angry and wronged.
She felt that her mother-in-law was taking too much of her nosy affairs, so she just let it go, but now that she was embarrassing her in front of her future son-in-law, if she wasn't afraid of death, she really wanted to punch her on the spot!
What's even more irritating is that her man doesn't even speak for her, he only follows his mother-in-law!
Qiao Zhenguo sighed and said, "Okay, I'll leave you two more chicken legs later!"
Only then did Wan Chunju stand up aggrieved and went out.
As soon as Wan Chunju left, there was no one to please Wu Yi at the dinner table.
Wu Yi didn't show any abnormality, but at the dinner table, his eyes swept over Da Qiao several times.
—
When it was time to go to bed at night, Da Qiao deliberately stayed here to sleep with his cousin.
The night is like washing, the evening wind blows, the leaves rustle, and the white moonlight shines in through the window.
Da Qiao snuggled up beside her cousin, and said softly, "Sister Ying, why are you with Brother Wu?"
Qiao Dongying paused when she heard this: "Because in his eyes, I have become a very good person."
Da Qiao frowned when he heard this: "Sister Ying, why can't I understand what you mean, in my opinion, you are already very good!"
When Qiao Dongying heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched.
Is she good
In terms of intelligence, let alone compare with Big Job, even if she compares with her sister, she can't rank up!
When she was young, she didn't study hard. She thought it was because she didn't want to study. As long as she became serious one day, her grades would impress everyone!
But reality slapped her hard!
By the time she wanted to study hard, she had already mastered a lot of knowledge. Although she worked hard to study hard, her score in the college entrance examination was 100 points lower than her sister's!
In terms of appearance and talent, there is nothing in her body that she can handle, even Xiao Dongyun is better than her!
When she was young, she always thought that she was the most different one, the person most like her grandma, but as she grew older, she became the most mediocre and useless one.
She is really envious of sister Da Qiao. Not only is she good-looking, she is also smart and well-behaved. No matter where she goes, she can easily become the focus of everyone and make people like her.
She is not jealous, because she herself likes Da Qiao, a cousin.
She is a little envious, a little inferior.
If the Qiao family could hear Qiao Dongying's thoughts at this time, their jaws would probably drop to the ground from fright.
Because Qiao Dongying's character was the most assertive since she was a child, she was like a big sister in school, calling the wind and calling the rain, even the boys listened to her, no one thought that she would actually feel inferior!
Qiao Dongying had an older sister in front, and a younger brother Anping in the back. Later, the Qiao family continued to have children. As the child in the middle, she was the most likely to be ignored.
Seeing that her cousin didn't speak, Da Qiao moved her small body a few times like a bug, leaned over and said, "Sister Ying, do you have something on your mind? If you have something on your mind, you can tell me, or you can tell grandpa and grandma. , we are your family and will definitely support you!"
Qiao Dongying recovered from her petty emotions, stretched out her hand to pinch her face in the dark and said, "I'm fine, but don't worry, I'll tell you if something really happened!"
Da Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then considered again: "Sister Ying, I think you are too much, Brother Wu, why don't you think about it again?"
Qiao Dongying froze for a moment, raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you like him?"
Da Qiao licked his lips and said, "It's not that I don't like it, I just think you deserve better, Sister Ying."
Wu Yi saw her several times, but she didn't tell anyone.
Because she didn't know if she was too sensitive, and the other party didn't do anything except look at her a few more times.
Besides, if she made a fuss and said it out, the most embarrassing person would be the cousin.
Qiao Dongying frowned in the night, but said in a very relaxed tone: "Okay, then Sister Ying will listen to you, I will think about it later!"
In fact, she is not indifferent to her family's attitude towards Wu Yi. Although there is no strong opposition, it is not enthusiastic.
She knew that her family disliked him for being too old, but she didn't care. In her opinion, age was not a problem at all.
As the night darkened, the two sisters did not speak any more.
Da Qiao turned over and soon fell asleep, but Qiao Dongying kept her eyes open and did not fall asleep for a long time.
—
After thinking about it all night, Qiao Dongying decided to stick to her own idea. She really felt that age was not a problem.
Apart from being older, Wu Yi is knowledgeable, does a great job, and is very considerate to her, no matter what she does, he will stand by her side.
She may not be the best one, but she can find someone who thinks she is the best in the eyes of the other party!
But people are not as good as heaven, and before she has time to convince her family, Wu Yi has leaked her feet!
This morning, after breakfast.
Wu Yi suddenly said to Qiao Dongying: "Didn't you say that your family has a relative who is the head of the police station? It's rare for you to come back this time. Do you want to go and see them?"
Hearing this, Qiao Dongying's heart skipped a beat.
On his face, he said calmly: "You are right, I will ask my grandma to see if anyone of them wants to go with us."
Wu Yi frowned slightly: "It's okay."
Qiao Dongying walked out of the main room, came to her grandma's room, and told her grandma about this with a pale face.
Qiao Xiuzhi said with a serious face: "You mean you never told him about the Shen family? Are you sure you didn't?"
Qiao Dongying shook her head: "Although the Shen family is the relatives of our Qiao family, they are Da Qiao's godfather and godmother, not mine, so I have never said this to the outside world. Wu Yi just came here yesterday. How did he know about this?"
She is not a vain person, not to mention that Wu Yi and her have known each other for less than half a year, and they met in the provincial capital, there is no need to mention the Shen family at all.
Even if she really wanted to brag, she could brag about her third uncle, who has become a teacher, instead of bragging about Shen's godfather!
Qiao Xiuzhi said: "Don't worry, I'll call your parents over to ask, they may have told you about this."
Qiao Dongying grabbed her hand, bit her lower lip and nodded: "Okay."
Soon, Qiao Xiuzhi called Dafang and his wife over, and asked them if they had mentioned the Shen family to Wu Yi.
Both Qiao Zhenguo and Wan Chunju shook their heads.
Looking at her mother-in-law's serious face, Wan Chunju said indifferently: "Mom, even if Xiao Wu knows about the Shen family, it's not a big deal!"
If it's an ordinary person, it's really no big deal.
But Wu Yi came back from abroad, let's not talk about whether there is any problem with his identity, he is very strange at such an age and not married, and with the matter of the Shen family, they have to be vigilant!
The country has only been open to the outside world for a few years, and many foreign forces do not want the country to develop, so many spies are arranged to steal important information and resources in the country.
If this Wu Yi is really a spy, no matter for the country or for the Qiao family, they must hand over Wu Yi!
Qiao Xiuzhi didn't explain to her eldest son and daughter-in-law, she was afraid that Wan Chunju would yell out.
She asked Qiao Dongying to stabilize Wu Yi first, then go buy some fruit and snacks with him, and then take a detour to Shen's house.
And she immediately called the Shen family after Qiao Dongying and Wu Yi left the house.
Shen Shikai happens to be resting at home today.
After hearing Qiao Xiuzhi's words, his face immediately became serious: "Auntie, don't worry, I know about this matter, I'll go back to the police station to make arrangements!"
Wu Yi has always been very generous, and this time is no exception.
He took the initiative to buy a lot of precious supplements to Shen's house, but when he came to Shen's house, he was told that Shen Shikai was at the police station.
Just when Wu Yi was hesitating about how to meet Shen Shikai, Qin Xiaomei suddenly took out a document from the room and said, "Dong Ying, your Uncle Shen forgot to take this document to the police station, can you help me?" Take it to him?"
Qiao Dongying took the document and nodded, "No problem, I'll send it right away!"
It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it!
Wu Yi was simply elated.
On the way to the police station, his eyes fell on the documents in Qiao Dongying's hand several times.
But he held back and didn't ask Qiao Dongying to show him.
He thought about putting a long line to catch big fish, but he didn't know that he had become a turtle in the urn.
As soon as he entered the police station, the police officer who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward immediately, without giving Wu Yi any chance to resist, threw him down and pressed him to the ground, and then stuffed his mouth with something!
Qiao Dongying watched Wu Yi disappear at the end of the corridor, her heart was beating like thunder, and complex emotions flashed in her eyes.
After a while, Shen Shikai came over and said, "We still need to investigate the other party's identity. You can't leave Yunlai Town until the investigation is clear!"
Qiao Dongying nodded: "Uncle Shen, don't worry, I will definitely not leave without authorization, but if there is really a problem with his identity, will it affect my family by then?"
Shen Shikai shook his head: "As long as your Qiao family doesn't do anything that endangers the country, nothing will happen. On the contrary, the superiors will give you a credit!"
After he finished speaking, he paused: "Are you okay? Do you want me to call your family to pick you up?"
Qiao Dongying shook her head: "No, I'm fine."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Shen Shikai looked at her back and sighed.
When something like this happens, people like them who have seen the world can't keep calm, let alone a little girl like her
As soon as Qiao Dongying walked out of the police station, she was surrounded by Da Qiao and Shen Tianyou.
"Sister Sakura, are you alright?"
Da Qiao and Shen Tianyou said in unison.
Qiao Dongying was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you here?"
Da Qiao took her cousin's hand and said: "Grandma has already told me the matter. She said she would keep Auntie at home, but she was worried about you, so she asked me to come and pick you up!"
When Qiao Dongying heard this, a warm current surged in her heart: "I'm fine."
Shen Tianyou brought his fat face closer to find his presence and said, "Sister Ying, don't just talk to Da Qiao, I'm also worried about you!"
Only then did Qiao Dongying cast her eyes on Shen Tianyou, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I said God, why do you seem to be getting fat again?"
Shen Tianyou is one year younger than Da Qiao, and he is entering the first year of high school this year.
Shen Tianyou has been fatter than ordinary children since he was a child, but when he was a child, he was chubby and cute, but when he grew up, he became fatter and fatter. With his tall stature, his body shape has nothing to do with being cute.
Shen Tianyou's chubby face flushed red: "Sister Ying, don't worry, I will lose weight!"
Qiao Dongying laughed again: "Then you have to work hard!"
After all, it is not an easy task to reduce this tonnage.
Shen Tianyou nodded like a pest: "I will work hard, Sister Ying!"
When he said this, the flesh of his chin trembled because of the movement, but his eyes were very firm.
Seeing him like this, Da Qiao couldn't help laughing too.
When he was a child, Shen Tianyou regarded his cousin as the boss and "obeyed her orders", but he didn't expect that he would still be so "obedient" when he grew up. If his godmother knew about it, he would probably be heartbroken again.
The arrival of Da Qiao and Shen Tianyou left Qiao Dongying no time to be sad.
Because of Wu Yi's incident, Dafang's move to Beijing was also delayed.
Wan Chunju didn't know what had happened, she didn't go to Beijing, and her son-in-law, who was a good overseas Chinese, didn't see her anymore!
There was great doubt on her big face.
It's a pity that the insider will not tell her. Qiao Zhenguo, who is as ignorant as her, is powerless even if he wants to tell her, not to mention that he doesn't care about it at all!
Very angry!
—
Two weeks later, the matter was finally investigated.
Wu Yi is indeed a spy, and getting close to Qiao Dongying is a task assigned to him by his superiors.
The Qiao family is not only related to the Shen family, but also to the Chu family in Nanshan County, not to mention a son-in-law who is a division commander in the army.
If he can break into Qiao's house, it will be very beneficial for him to steal information.
And the easiest and most effective way to break into Qiao's family is to marry Qiao Dongying!
His identity is indeed an overseas Chinese in the United States, but he is already married, and his children are all in the United States. The eldest daughter is five years old this year!
After Qiao Dongying heard the news, she couldn't help but covered her face and cried bitterly.
She thought that Wu Yi had seen her strengths, but she didn't expect that everything was a lie!
What a fool she is!
Seeing her cousin crying so sadly, Da Qiao walked over and hugged her tightly.
That night, Qiao Dongying developed a high fever. After Da Qiao found out, he immediately fed her jade beads, so the high fever subsided before she went to the hospital.
It's just that physical illnesses are easy to heal, but mental illnesses are hard to heal.
After her health recovered, although Qiao Dongying had returned to her previous appearance, Da Qiao still felt that her cousin's smile was not as happy as before.
But school started soon, Qiao Dongying packed her things and returned to the provincial capital, while Dafang went to Beijing to develop as planned.
Da Qiao was promoted to the third year of high school, and she became busy with her studies.
On the train to Beijing, Dafang met a group of old acquaintances—Chen Qiaoqiao's natal family.
Ever since Qiao Zhenmin and Chen Qiaoqiao divorced, the Qiao family had lost contact with the Chen family.
Later, Qiao's family opened a store in the town and became rich in the eyes of many people, and the Chen family felt like flies that smelled honey clung to it.
They swaggered to the door of Qiao's house under the name of Qiao Dongwan's relatives, and wanted to take things from the store without paying.
It's just that the Qiao family won't let them down, they beat them out on the spot, and even dared to make trouble, so they immediately called the police and arrested them.
The Chen family was so angry that they yelled at Qiao Dongwan for being a white-eyed wolf who didn't even recognize her relatives!
The Qiao family can ignore them, but they are indeed Qiao Dongwan's grandmother and uncle in blood. Some people also feel that Qiao Dongwan is too cold-blooded after hearing what the Chen family said.
Later, they went to the school to find Qiao Dongwan, but Qiao Dongwan didn't give them face, and beat her own uncle severely in front of everyone.
Later, when Qiao Zhenmin found out about it, he also had someone teach the Chen family a lesson. Since then, the Chen family did not dare to pester Qiao Dongwan again.
But Qiao Dongwan's reputation was completely ruined by them.
Now that they bumped into each other on a train, to the Chen family, it meant that the enemy was extremely jealous when they met each other!
Uncle Chen said proudly, "Hey, aren't these Qiao Dongwan's grandma and grandpa?"
Qiao Xiuzhi gave him a cold look and said, "If you don't want to fight, get out now!"
The uncle of the Chen family raised the watch in his hand and said, "Do you know what brand of watch this is? It is a Shanghai brand watch, and it costs two hundred yuan each. Our Chen family is no worse than your Qiao family at all, so Don't act like a contemptuous person!"
The uncle of the Chen family came over and said: "Brother, forget it, why tell them so much? When we become rich, we will drive a car to them and let them know what it means to look down on others!"
Qiao Xiuzhi stood up, clenched her fists and said coldly: "It seems that some people are itchy!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, the two brothers of the Chen family lost their asses in an instant!
Xue Chuan pulled his wife to sit down, poured her a glass of warm water and persuaded her, "A group of people don't deserve to be angry with such people."
Qiao Xiuzhi frowned and said, "Fortunately, Lao Wu divorced the Chen family back then, otherwise it would be really disgusting for Dong Wan to have such a foreign family!"
Wan Chunju said in a sour tone: "I heard people say that Chen Qiaoqiao's natal family seems to be well-off, but I don't know what kind of business they do?"
She felt that the gods really didn't open their eyes to let the little butt Qiaoqiao's natal family prosper, and her natal family is still farming in the village!
But after saying this, no one answered her words.
For the Qiao family, they don't care at all whether the Chen family is well-off or not.
The two brothers of the Chen family returned to their seats, both of them looked aggrieved after the disaster.
The uncle of the Chen family yelled: "Damn, when I have money, I will definitely use the money to kill the people of the Qiao family!"
The uncle of the Chen family said: "Brother, you are right, especially that little white-eyed wolf Dong Wan, when the time comes, I want her to kneel in front of me and kowtow to admit her mistake!"
He was the one who was beaten by Qiao Dongwan back then.
He never thought at the time that Qiao Dongwan looked at a thin and frail little girl with such strength that she knocked out his teeth with one punch!
Uncle Chen nodded: "And that idiot Qiaoqiao, when we have money, I will make them all regret it!"
The Chen family met a man from other provinces before, and under the leadership of the other party, the Chen family made a small fortune.
The provincial man told them that if they wanted to make a lot of money, they had to go to the south, where gold was everywhere, and as long as they were brave enough, they could make money lying down!
Encouraged by the other party, the Chen family sold all the house and property, and borrowed a lot of money from relatives, planning to go to the south to do a big job.
At that time, they also went to ask Chen Qiaoqiao for money, but they were called out by Chen Qiaoqiao's man.
Chen Qiaoqiao also threatened that without brothers like them, she would have severed ties with the Chen family long ago!
That's right, ever since the two brothers of the Chen family forced Chen Qiaoqiao to kill the child in her stomach, and then tied her up and sold her to her current husband, Chen Qiaoqiao had given up on her natal family.
Since then, she has never returned to her natal home again.
The Chen family brothers were very angry with Chen Qiaoqiao's behavior, and put down their cruel words on the spot, and she will definitely regret it in the future.
Although Chen Qiaoqiao had also heard about the prosperity of her natal family, but this time she held back her greed and did not reconcile with her natal family, let alone lend them money.
At the middle station, the Chen family brothers went to change trains with salutes, while the Qiao family continued to go north.
Since then, the two have parted ways and each embarked on a different life.
Time passed like running water, and it was already a year later.
In July when the cicadas kept singing, Da Qiao walked into the examination room.
