Qiao Xiuzhi, Xue Chuan, Qiao Zhenjun and Lin Hui all came to see Da Qiao off.
It was just because the store was very busy that in the end only Qiao Xiuzhi and Xue Chuan stayed and waited.
Now the business of "Good Luck" is booming, and they opened another one in the town at the end of last year. Qiao Zhenjun and Lin Hui were so busy that they had to hire other people to help.
After Qiao's second-bedroom store became popular, several similar stores opened in the town, but they couldn't match Qiao's in terms of variety or price.
In addition, Qiao's also sells dried flowers grown by Da Qiao, and this alone cannot be found in other stores.
As for all the proceeds from the sale of dried flowers, Qiao Zhenjun and Lin Hui didn't take a single cent, and helped Da Qiao deposit all of them in the bank.
Therefore, apart from the two real estate properties in the town and Beijing, Da Qiao is still a little rich woman with thousands of savings!
And Qiao Xiuzhi and Xue Chuan came back a month before Da Qiao was about to take the college entrance examination.
This year, the two of them took Dafang to Beijing to seek development. Because of the help of the Huo family and the Mao family, Dafang developed very smoothly in Beijing. There are some things that they have not thought of. Already fixed them.
Although there was help from Huo Mao's family, Qiao Xiuzhi told the big house not to rent a shop at first, but bought a breakfast car first, and the father and son pushed it to sell breakfast.
Anping is not good at reading, but he is good at eating.
He started to learn how to cook with his grandfather five years ago, and now he has already mastered his skills. In addition, he is willing to research new tricks and innovate in cooking methods. It is not a problem to open a snack bar right away.
However, Qiao Xiuzhi was afraid that none of their family had done business alone, so she asked them to start selling breakfast first.
Dafang's main breakfast is Xiaolongbao, and occasionally other Chinese snacks are added, such as jujube cake, brown sugar cake and so on.
These kinds of dim sum were mediocre, and there were also people selling them at other early morning stalls. At first, Wan Chunju was not optimistic about them, thinking that the early ones they made would definitely not be sold.
But it turns out that it doesn't matter if the breakfast is mediocre, the key is to taste good!
The Xiaolongbao made by Anping has a lot of stuffing and thin skin. The key is that the taste is so delicious that people want to eat a second one after eating one!
Originally worried that they would not be able to sell without customers, so they only made two cages on the first day, but they were all sold out in less than an hour!
Some customers who came over to buy after hearing the introduction couldn't buy it, so they complained on the spot, asking why they only make so few things for sale
Both father and son Anping and Qiao Zhenguo are very good-natured people. Occasionally, they are not angry when they encounter customers who speak harshly, and they explain it to others in a good-tempered manner.
The food is delicious, the boss and his son have a good attitude, and many people have become repeat customers.
Selling breakfast by cart is actually not easy at all. Before dawn, you have to get up and make breakfast with noodles, and then rush to the booth before everyone goes to work.
Under the wind and sun, after a month, the faces of Qiao Zhenguo and Anping's father and son turned dark several degrees.
But tired after tired, but very fruitful.
The father and son Qiao Zhenguo and Anping not only accumulated experience and how to deal with people, but also attracted a large number of loyal guests.
When Qiao's big house opened a restaurant in the most prosperous area two months later, these guests became the first batch of repeat customers.
Now Dafang's restaurant has gained a firm foothold in Beijing, and its business is good. If it continues to develop at this rate, it should be able to double the size of the restaurant by the end of the year!
Xue Chuan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and unfolded it on the stone, then pulled his wife to sit down and said, "The child won't come out so soon, come and sit."
Qiao Xiuzhi looked back at the handkerchief spread on the floor, and said distressedly: "Actually, there is no need to spread the handkerchief. It took you several days to embroider the handkerchief. It is too wasteful to use it to pad your butt."
Xue Chuan smiled and said: "It's okay, just wash it if it's dirty. Now that the children have stabilized, we can also go for a walk. I remember you wanted to see the Yellow River very much. When Da Qiao finishes his college entrance examination, we will just go."
Qiao Xiuzhi turned her head and smiled at him: "Okay, there is also Suzhou and Hangzhou you want to go to."
Xue Chuan smiled tenderly: "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. I have long wanted to go, but unfortunately there were many children in the family and it was inconvenient to go out. Now it is better, the country is getting richer day by day, and the children are also getting richer. Don't worry about us, we can finally do our own thing!"
Qiao Xiuzhi also nodded with a smile, and stuffed one of the dried plums she brought into his mouth.
Xue Chuan swallowed the dried plums she handed over. It was just right for sweet and sour, and it was most suitable for the summer season.
—
Da Qiao entered the examination room, and she knew none of the candidates who entered.
But she didn't know anyone else, and others knew her.
Not to mention that she has been the number one in junior high school for six years, even if she looks more and more eye-catching, others can't help but remember her.
It may be due to poor nutrition in the past. Not many people grow tall these days, but Da Qiao is 1.7 meters tall!
Tall and tall, with straight and slender legs, delicate facial features and fair skin, she is even more beautiful than the female stars in pictorials. Many boys blush when they see her from a distance.
But helplessly, many boys' grades are not as good as hers, and even their height is crushed. They are really short of breath!
Of course, some people think that she is too tall, and think that girls who grow too tall are ugly, and it will definitely be difficult to find a partner in the future!
If Huo Chi knew what these people were thinking, he would probably jump out immediately and say: Don't bother you to worry, her partner has already been booked!
Da Qiao saw that many people's eyes were on her, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, and there was a burst of discussion around her.
The invigilator came over after a while, and everyone turned their eyes back and adjusted their mentality.
Da Qiao sat in his seat, not nervous at all.
She has prepared everything that should be prepared. With her strength, as long as there are no accidents, there is absolutely no problem in being admitted to Jinghua University.
Soon, the invigilator handed out the test papers, and Da Qiao quickly skimmed through the questions, feeling that after the test, there would probably be a lot of mourning.
The difficulty of this year's test papers has increased significantly compared to previous years, and there are traps set up on many questions. If you are not careful, you may get the wrong idea.
After Da Qiao reviewed the questions, he didn't dare to be careless, and became more concentrated.
The first subject is Chinese, there are no additional questions, and the total score is 100 points. The composition topic is a bit unexpected, and it is a subject that the teacher has never thought about during the review process.
Da Qiao mentioned the frame in the draft and made sure that there was no deviation from the topic before writing.
The most fearful thing about composition is that the topic is off the mark. Once the topic is off topic, no matter how good your writing is, it will be useless.
When she wrote the last word, she raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist. There were still 20 minutes before the paper was handed in. She immediately went back to review the previous questions.
This re-examination really found a small mistake, she quickly corrected the answer, pursed her lips, and was a little happy for saving herself two points.
After the review was over, the bell for handing in the papers rang.
The invigilator asked everyone to put down the pens with a serious face, and they were not allowed to fill in any more. There was a small whine in the classroom.
After the invigilator took away all the test papers, everyone complained.
"What should I do? This time the difficulty is too great, I haven't finished writing!"
"I've finished writing everything, but I filled in many questions casually, and I don't have time to review them at all!"
"Me too! And that composition, I've been reviewing the questions for a long time and still don't dare to write. I have a bad feeling, I think I've missed the topic!"
Some people wanted to find out the answer from Da Qiao, who was firmly in the first place every time, but they looked up, but they didn't see her.
In fact, whether it is a major test or a small test, after each test, someone will ask Da Qiao to check the answers. If the answer is the same as hers, they will be very happy, and if the answer is different, they will become very frustrated.
The difficulty of the questions increased this time. There must be many people who did not do well in the test, but this is only one of the subjects, and there are still many subjects to be tested, so in order not to affect everyone's emotions, Da Qiao ran away as soon as the papers were handed in. .
Running out of the school, she saw her grandpa and grandma sitting under the banyan tree waiting for her from a distance.
She trotted up quickly: "Grandma, grandma, didn't you tell you not to wait?"
Qiao Xiuzhi took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead: "It's better to just sit here when you go back, it's better to wait here for you to come out, don't worry, we're under the tree, it's very windy, it's not hot at all! "
Da Qiao was like a well-behaved and docile kitten, she rubbed her face against her baby's hand, and said softly, "Milk is the best!"
Xue Chuan interjected and said, "Only your milk is the best? Isn't that bad?"
"Grandpa is the best too!" Da Qiao quickly added, "Grandpa, I'm hungry, let's go back and eat!"
Xue Chuan quickly stood up: "Then let's go, your mother should have prepared meals for you at home!"
Hearing this, Da Qiao smiled obediently again.
Many people have told her before that stepmothers all over the world have black hearts and they will abuse their stepdaughters.
But Lin Hui's stepmother treated her so well that she almost forgot that she had a real mother all these years.
Occasionally, she would think of Fang Xiaojuan's biological mother, and when thinking of her biological mother, she would think of the "missing" Xiao Qiao, wondering how she is now
The godfather said that she was adopted by a rich man. If that is the case, she should also take the college entrance examination this year.
At this time, Xiao Qiao, who was in the Shanghai stock market, came out of the examination room and sneezed hard.
She had a gloomy expression on her face, exuding an aura that no one should enter.
Because her composition was accepted only halfway through!
—
Back home, her mother really cooked her a table of delicious dishes, all of which she likes to eat!
While serving her food, Lin Hui asked with concern, "How is the exam? Is it difficult?"
With his mouth full, Da Qiao said while chewing garlic ribs: "The topic is a little more difficult than before, but it's not a big problem for me, and I've finished everything!"
Lin Hui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words: "Just finish it, eat more, what do you want to eat tonight, tell mom, and mom will make it for you!"
The corner of Da Qiao's mouth was slightly hooked, and the pear dimple was lightly revealed: "It's okay, as long as it's made by my mother, I like to eat it!"
Lin Hui looked at her lovingly.
Xue Anxu flattered: "My sister is the best, no matter how difficult the subject is, I am not afraid, this year's college entrance examination champion must be my sister!"
Da Qiao pinched his fair face and said, "Don't go out and talk nonsense, if I fail the exam, everyone will laugh at me!"
Xue Anxu pouted: "No way, my sister always comes first in the exam, and she will definitely be the first this time!"
Qiao Anjie's temperament is relatively reserved, and he can't flatter him so smoothly.
But when he saw his sister pinching Xue Anxu's face, he moved his face closer and said, "I also think my sister will be the first in the exam."
Da Qiao patted his head: "Then I would like to thank An Jie first. If it is the first time in the exam later, my sister will treat you to delicious food!"
Although Qiao Anjie wasn't pinched in the face, he was satisfied with being patted on the head, and immediately pursed his lips and laughed quietly.
Da Qiao feels that the older the twins are, the more different their personalities become, but they still look alike.
Before entering the examination room in the afternoon, Da Qiao guessed that this year's math estimation difficulty will also increase, and waited for the test papers to be sent out, and sure enough!
After the exam, the voices of mourning became louder this time, and some people couldn't help crying.
Most of the people were not in a good mood, and Da Qiao became more low-key. When someone asked her, she said that she was barely doing well, and she was not very sure about the topic.
Everyone felt a little better after hearing what she said.
After finishing the last subject, Da Qiao walked out of the classroom with the flow of people, and then saw a long-legged boy in a white shirt standing under the banyan tree.
The boy is tall and slender, with slender and strong legs. From her direction, he can just see his side face. His profile is impeccable. The golden sun shines on him through the dense leaves, as if giving him Plated with a layer of gold light.
Passers-by couldn't help looking at him, and the girls who came out of the examination room blushed when they saw him.
The young man was leaning forward slightly to talk to her grandma, with a smile on the corner of his shallow mouth, so good-looking that people couldn't take their eyes off.
As if sensing the gaze behind him, he turned and grinned at her.
The smile on the corner of the mouth spread to the bottom of the eyes, all of which were gentle and warm.
When Da Qiao saw the smile on his mouth, his heart skipped a beat, and he walked over and said, "Brother Huo Chi, why are you here? Is school already on holiday?"
Huo Chi's deep black eyes looked at Da Qiao who was walking towards her, and his eyes flashed with amazement.
Although he had only seen her half a year ago, every time he saw him, he would be amazed by her again.
The seventeen-year-old Da Qiao is no longer the little girl she was back then. She has grown into a tall and graceful girl, like a flower blooming enthusiastically on the branches, delicate and soft, once people's eyes fall on her, they will never look at her again. There is no way to remove it.
He walked over, took the stationery in her hand naturally and said, "I'll come over as soon as the exam is over." He didn't even go home.
Seeing his tired face, Da Qiao raised his brows and said, "Did you drive here by yourself for such a long journey?"
Huo Chi smiled at her, the meaning was self-evident.
Da Qiao frowned angrily, reached out and slapped him on the arm: "It's just a test, it doesn't matter if you fail!"
His arm was so stiff that it hurt her hand from the blow, and her mouth was pursed.
The golden sun shines on her porcelain-like face, the long eyelashes cast a circle of shadows under the eyelids, and the pink lips are slightly pouting, looking aggrieved.
Huo Chi's heart shrank, as if someone had pinched him hard, it was sour and sweet.
He said in a low voice: "Why doesn't it matter? As long as it's related to you, it doesn't matter."
I don't know if his gaze was too hot, or because his words were too explicit, Da Qiao's face burned.
The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, standing together is a scenic line, and the eyes of passers-by are more and more frequently looking at this side.
Qiao Xiuzhi coughed and said, "Don't just stand there, go back to eat, it's getting late."
She and Xue Chuan naturally noticed the interaction between the two children. They neither assisted nor opposed, and everything went with the flow.
Huo Chi and Da Qiao are childhood sweethearts, so it can be said that they grew up together. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see Huo Chi's affection for Da Qiao.
It's just that Da Qiao is still a little ignorant. Whether she will be tempted by Huo Chi in the future, she can only find out by herself.
After being reminded by Qiao Xiuzhi, both Huo Chi and Da Qiao felt a little embarrassed. Da Qiao didn't dare to look Huo Chi in the eyes along the way.
Back home, no one in Qiao's family was surprised when they saw Huo Chi.
Except that he didn't come over the summer when Huo Chi was admitted to university, he would come over during summer and winter vacations.
During the summer vacation, the Huo family would usually invite Da Qiao to Beijing. Of course, Huo Chi would come to pick her up every time. During the winter vacation, Huo Chi would show up at Qiao's house. He would not leave until the Huo family members came over to celebrate the Spring Festival. .
To the Qiao family, Huo Chi was already half of the Qiao family.
In order to wait for the grades, Da Qiao didn't go to Beijing to live, so Huo Chi followed and stayed at Qiao's house.
—
In late July, the results of the college entrance examination finally came out amidst everyone's waiting.
Compared with the education bureaus in towns and counties, the education bureaus in the provincial capital are more informed. Coupled with the geographical relationship, they get the college entrance examination results earlier than the towns and counties.
Since the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, this year is the seventh college entrance examination.
The schools in the provincial capital are better than the schools in the county and townships in terms of educational resources and educational quality. Therefore, in the past six years, the top students in the college entrance examination every year have come from the schools in the provincial capital, and most of them are concentrated in No. 1 and No. 2 middle schools. .
Therefore, the leaders of the provincial capital thought that this year's top students in the college entrance examination would naturally be in these two schools, but when they opened the file and looked at it, they were stunned.
What
The top scorer in the college entrance examination is from Yunlai Middle School? !
What kind of Shankara place is that in Yunlai Town? ?
The people from the Education Bureau almost poked a hole in the document, but it just said "Yunlai Middle School Qiao Niannian" on it.
"Hey, why does the name Qiao Niannian sound familiar to me?" Someone said suddenly.
"When you say that, I seem to have a little impression. Ah, I remembered, didn't the entire provincial capital come to the unified examination last year? At that time, there was a student who tied for first place with Xu Hongling from No. 1 Middle School. I remember that was the name! "
There are dozens of high schools in the entire provincial capital. It is not easy to unify the test questions and approve the papers, so the unified test has been done once in the past few years.
Knowing that there was a student from the town tied for first place with Xu Hongling from No. 1 Middle School, many people were shocked at the time, but they didn't take it too seriously afterwards.
Many people thought that she was lucky enough to get good grades. After all, the educational resources in the town were so poor that even the county couldn't match them, so after that exam, everyone would not pay attention to a student from the township.
No one expected that this student would actually beat the students from the provincial capital and get the first prize in the college entrance examination!
This result was beyond everyone's expectations!
Some people didn't want to believe it, thinking that the higher-ups might have got the name wrong, so they used their contacts to call to inquire, but there was nothing wrong with the inquiry.
The top scorer in the college entrance examination is Qiao Niannian from Yunlai Middle School!
When the director of the Education Bureau of Baocheng County received the news, he was so happy that he almost dropped his phone on the ground: "You mean that the top scorer in the college entrance examination is from our Yunlai Middle School?"
Although it is not a school in the county seat, Yunlai Town is under the jurisdiction of Baocheng County, so they are still the number one in the college entrance examination!
"That's right, it's from your side. By the way, according to the rules of previous years, when the time comes, the Education Bureau will send someone to conduct an exclusive interview with that student. You have someone notify the student so that she can get ready!"
When the people in the provincial capital heard his voice several decibels higher, they felt sour almost coming out of their mouths.
The director of the Education Bureau of Baocheng County couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Okay, okay, no problem, I'll let someone notify her, no, I will notify her myself!"
The man couldn't stand his snarling, and hung up the phone with a "snap".
The director of Baocheng's education bureau laughed for a long time while holding the phone. When the director of the education bureau came in and saw him like this, he was shocked and thought he had a stroke!
But when he found out about the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he also joined the ranks of the Director of Education who smirked.
Come on, this is another crazy one!
Immediately afterwards, the "crazy" people expanded from the County Education Bureau to the Yunlai Town Education Bureau, and then to the leadership of Yunlai Middle School, and the team continued to grow.
When the principal of Yunlai Middle School rushed to Qiao's house on a broken bicycle, everyone was preparing dinner at that time.
The headmaster yelled loudly, and the people around heard him immediately.
Soon everyone in the neighborhood knew that there was a champion in the college entrance examination in Yunlai Town, and this champion was none other than Qiao's Da Qiao!
Everyone is very envious.
People who live nearby don't know that Qiao Zhenjun has a well-behaved, good-looking daughter who can study, everyone is usually envious of her, but no one thought that she is so powerful!
He actually defeated the students in the entire provincial capital and won the first place in the college entrance examination in one fell swoop!
According to the headmaster, not only will the provincial capital send people to interview, but they will also reward them with a lot of money!
I really envy the dead, how come such a good child doesn't belong to their family
So that night, every household sounded the voice of educating their children again.
Qiao Zhenjun and Lin Hui knew that Da Qiao had become the number one in the college entrance examination, and both of them were so happy that their eyes were red.
Especially Qiao Zhenjun, who secretly hid himself and wiped his tears.
At that time, Da Qiao was a stutterer, and he talked and walked faster than ordinary children. He didn't know how much he worried about him. Later, he became paralyzed. He thought that this child would be very miserable in the future.
Unexpectedly, his paralysis recovered, Qiao's family became rich day by day, and Da Qiao became the number one student in the provincial capital's college entrance examination.
On this day, he really dared not even dream about it!
After all the blessings dispersed, Huo Chi walked to Da Qiao's side.
He took out a gift, looked at her and said in a low voice, "Congratulations, kid Qiao Niannian!"
