Looking at the engagement ring, Xia Jiujiu suddenly felt her head buzzing. She felt severe pain in her head and couldn't help holding her head and taking a step back.
She responded softly, and after a long time, she heard Jiang Huaian say: "We will always be together."
She loved Jiang Huaian's youthful innocence when he was a boy, and she also loved Jiang Huaian's future transparency and tenderness that seemed to have been wiped clean by time.
His hand stroked her silky hair: "Every New Year from now on, I will countdown with you and tell you that I love you. I was not able to accompany you in the past, but I will be with you every year in the future. , I will be able to tell you in one year when we are all old and I go ahead of you."
"Do you want to think about it again?"
Jiang Huaian immediately stepped forward to support her and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you?!"
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and hugged Jiang Huaian.
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
Xia Jiujiu said calmly: "Wait for me, I'll be here soon."
"It's okay." Xia Jiujiu raised her hand and gasped softly: "I just feel a headache suddenly."
"You don't need to take the joint entrance examination," Xia Jiujiu explained seriously, "I will have to run around while waiting for the school entrance examination."
Today's Jiang Huaian and future Jiang Huaian are indeed the same person. Even if they meet at different times, their kindness to her is exactly the same.
"I'll take you to the hospital."
The summer in June was extremely hot. One month before the college entrance examination, Xia Jiujiu and Jiang Huaian barely met. Xia Jiujiu did not dare to disturb Jiang Huaian for fear that something would happen to him.
no.
Jiang Huaian immediately pulled Xia Jiujiu to go out. She raised a hand to hold him, covering her head and saying nothing. Jiang Huaian knew what she meant to stop him, so he didn't dare to move anymore, so he helped her sit on the single sofa in the back and stayed by her side.
She suddenly realized that when she looked back, her life was completely different.
Xia Yuanbao was very happy after hearing this. He nodded heavily: "Okay, dad, I will wait for you to provide for dad in the future!"
"So, can you tell me," he turned to look at Xia Jiujiu and said seriously: "Sister, when you work hard, will you feel happy?"
"Xia Jiujiu," Jiang Huaian squatted on the ground, held her hand, looked at her with a smile and said, "You really look like a little old woman."
Hearing this, Xia Jiujiu fell silent. She leaned on Jiang Huaian's shoulder, pursed her lips and said nothing.
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"
Jiang Huai'an quickly shrank and hid behind Xia Jiujiu and said, "No, no, no, no, I'm very small. Don't argue with me. Send your sister to take the exam quickly."
When Yang Wei hung up the phone and the dawn light fell on the room, the phone suddenly rang. When Xia Jiujiu saw the name on it, the three words "Jiang Huaian" jumped up.
Many voices rolled into Xia Jiujiu's mind.
Jiang Huaian immediately stepped forward to support her and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you?!"
Xia Jiujiu turned to look at him, and Xiajuan shook his head. Looking at Xia Jiujiu in front of him, he felt that at some point, this sister had grown into something he couldn't understand. In his memory, Xia Jiujiu had always been an innocent, simple little girl who lived in honey. Although she was his sister, when he looked at her, he always felt as if he was taking care of his own sister. But I don't know when Xia Jiujiu really started to look like a sister.
"I'll take you to the hospital."
She looked at the person in front of her and slowly regained her consciousness. She had been reborn and lived a new life. Everything was fine. Everything was ahead. There were no regrets or twists and turns. Her life had always been smooth sailing, and this time it was no different.
"Stop talking, stop talking," Xia Yuanbao greeted her: "Your mother cooked glutinous rice balls, and I said I'd wait for you to come back to eat them together. It's New Year's Eve, so I won't scold you. Come here quickly."
Jiang Huaian pinched her face: "Come to your senses, little silly cat."
The real Jiang Huaian, when he loves someone, his eyes are as hot as the blazing sun. It is definitely not like what he did later, peaceful and doting, with a bit of helplessness.
"Jiujiu, you should wake up."
Then they started preparing for the school exam. When Xia Jiujiu went to Beijing, Jiang Huaian went to see her off. Before Xia Jiujiu entered the airport, she smiled and said to him: "I'll go to Beijing first to see it, and I'll go there before you."
The family came in, sat on the carpet around the coffee table, and each person held a bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of them.
"I dreamed that you were my girlfriend." Jiang Huaian said about his dream: "The two of us always go to eat hot pot together. There are many people around, and you are different from now."
The first time he met her reckless look, looking for a vague Jiang Huaian, he felt something was wrong at that time, but he never asked. She had many secrets, and he didn't want to, and he didn't have to ask. She wanted to say it was her business, but if she didn't want to talk about it, that was understandable.
But as Xia Jiujiu grew up, she ate more and more snacks, and the glutinous rice balls didn't seem to be very delicious. She didn't like eating them. This custom of eating glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve was gradually adopted by Xia Yuanbao, who was getting busier and busier. Forget. Xia Jiujiu suddenly said that she wanted to eat glutinous rice balls tonight, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Why are you suddenly thinking about eating glutinous rice balls? Haven't we not eaten in two years?"
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
Yang Wei smiled and said nothing more.
"Jiujiu, come back."
Song Zhe finally left the country. The day before leaving the country, Yang Wei called Xia Jiujiu. She didn't say anything, but just chatted with Xia Jiujiu all night. Yang Wei didn't mention Song Zhe a word all night, until finally, near dawn, Xia Jiujiu was in a daze and heard Yang Wei say something.
"OK."
Jianghuaian…
"Um?"
Xia Jiujiu turned to look at him, and Xiajuan shook his head. Looking at Xia Jiujiu in front of him, he felt that at some point, this sister had grown into something he couldn't understand. In his memory, Xia Jiujiu had always been an innocent, simple little girl who lived in honey. Although she was his sister, when he looked at her, he always felt as if he was taking care of his own sister. But I don't know when Xia Jiujiu really started to look like a sister.
The two of them walked into the examination room together. Jiang Huaian looked at the little girl's back and slowly smiled.
"Um."
His hand stroked her silky hair: "Every New Year from now on, I will countdown with you and tell you that I love you. I was not able to accompany you in the past, but I will be with you every year in the future. , I will be able to tell you in one year when we are all old and I go ahead of you."
Who was it just now that was in a daze and not eating
When he looked at her, he was actually like Jiang Huaian just now, gentle and doting, but without too much love.
Xia Jiujiu heard that it was Jiang Huaian, the Jiang Huaian who had been accompanying her in the previous world!
She slowly put her hand on Jiang Huaian's head. Jiang Huaian was slightly startled, and heard her slowly say: "Jiang Huaian..."
Jiang Huaian pinched her face: "Come to your senses, little silly cat."
Xia Jiujiu said nothing. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay." She looked up at Xia Yuanbao and said, "Dad, I will work hard."
Xia Tianjuan was a little hesitant. In fact, he wanted to say that it was definitely possible, but he felt that it was better to keep his words to himself. Xia Jiujiu patted his back: "Nonsense, your sister can definitely get into a good university!"
She was a little confused for a moment. Jiang Huaian was still there
"He especially hated me for not accompanying him, but I also hated myself and couldn't let him go."
Jiang Huaian felt a little embarrassed when he said this word: "What I mean is that at our age, you can think of divorce, which is too long-term. Don't normal people think about whether they can survive until marriage? … "
"It's okay." Xia Jiujiu raised her hand and gasped softly: "I just feel a headache suddenly."
So who is this person in front of me
Xia Jiujiu turned her head and watched the fireworks slowly burn out. She kept her hand casually resting on the armrest and said a little shyly: "Put the ring on..."
Jiang Huaian wore a black coat, a scarf, and gold-rimmed glasses. He smiled cheekily and said, "Well, uncle, can I go with you to see Xia Jiujiu off?"
After He Linlin and Xia Yuanbao left, Xia Juan was the only one left in the room.
"Jiujiu," Jiang Huaian pulled Xia Jiujiu and asked worriedly: "Tell me, what's wrong with you now?"
She loved Jiang Huaian's youthful innocence when he was a boy, and she also loved Jiang Huaian's future transparency and tenderness that seemed to have been wiped clean by time.
Xia Jiujiu said embarrassedly: "You haven't seen how big the outside world is yet, and you just want to marry me. If you find true love and divorce me in the future, wouldn't I suffer a lot?"
Later, when she and Jiang Huaian were together, Jiang Huaian was like this. Every New Year's Eve, no matter where he was, even in the United States, he would come back to spend the New Year's Eve with her, and then say that I love you.
Jianghuaian…
The winter vacation has passed by in a hurry, and Xia Jiujiu's joint entrance examination results have also come out. She did well in the test, with scores similar to Gu Lan's, and everyone specially celebrated for this.
Xia Jiujiu turned around in confusion and saw Jiang Huaian in front of her. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say at the moment.
Xia Jiujiu's eyes widened, and then she rushed out of the house and came to the front door. She saw Jiang Huaian standing on the roadside, wearing a patchwork T-shirt and holding a mobile phone in his hand, looking extremely flamboyant. , grinned and said: "Coming?"
When Yang Wei hung up the phone and the dawn light fell on the room, the phone suddenly rang. When Xia Jiujiu saw the name on it, the three words "Jiang Huaian" jumped up.
After He Linlin and Xia Yuanbao left, Xia Juan was the only one left in the room.
The two of them walked into the examination room together. Jiang Huaian looked at the little girl's back and slowly smiled.
Xia Jiujiu said nothing. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay." She looked up at Xia Yuanbao and said, "Dad, I will work hard."
"Jiujiu, you should wake up."
New Year's Day passed quietly between the two brothers and sisters, and the winter snow also drifted down that night, covering the entire city.
wrong…
She stood in the examination room, the tip of her nose traced the eyebrows of the characters in the painting, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Huaian didn't care at all about the secret. Xia Jiujiu has many secrets, and he has always known them.
You're taking the exam at Tsinghua University, and I'm baking gluten at Tsinghua University. It's great.
His hand stroked her silky hair: "Every New Year from now on, I will countdown with you and tell you that I love you. I was not able to accompany you in the past, but I will be with you every year in the future. , I will be able to tell you in one year when we are all old and I go ahead of you."
His hand stroked her silky hair: "Every New Year from now on, I will countdown with you and tell you that I love you. I was not able to accompany you in the past, but I will be with you every year in the future. , I will be able to tell you in one year when we are all old and I go ahead of you."
Xia Jiujiu said nothing. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay." She looked up at Xia Yuanbao and said, "Dad, I will work hard."
She stood in the examination room, the tip of her nose traced the eyebrows of the characters in the painting, and she couldn't help but smile.
"How is it different?" Xia Jiujiu was a little curious. After Jiang Huaian thought for a while, he slowly said: "She is like a delicate porcelain doll, innocent and innocent, which is not bad, but she just feels that something is missing. "But you are different." He turned to look at her: "When I look at you, I feel that you are shining."
She looked at the person in front of her and slowly regained her consciousness. She had been reborn and lived a new life. Everything was fine. Everything was ahead. There were no regrets or twists and turns. Her life had always been smooth sailing, and this time it was no different.
Xia Jiujiu waited for a while and whispered, "Why aren't you wearing it yet?"
Later, Xia Tian Juan never had such clarity and simplicity. He is not very bad, but his decision-making is not very good either. I casually entered a university and inherited the family business. However, at this moment, Xia Tianjuan sitting next to her has not been polished by the world. Even just a profile of her face can make you feel the youthful energy.
"Oh, yes."
"Boss, please spare my life. Boss, please spare my life," Xia Yuanbao used his chubby body to knock down He Linlin and argued, "Madam, just spare the life of this little dog!"
Xia Tianjuan was a little hesitant. In fact, he wanted to say that it was definitely possible, but he felt that it was better to keep his words to himself. Xia Jiujiu patted his back: "Nonsense, your sister can definitely get into a good university!"
Xia Jiujiu did well in the school exam, and she didn't feel too much pressure. She reviewed the test papers at the same pace every day, waiting for the college entrance examination.
"Miss you."
She slowly put her hand on Jiang Huaian's head. Jiang Huaian was slightly startled, and heard her slowly say: "Jiang Huaian..."
"I heard that you have to travel around for the art exam, right?"
Yang Wei smiled and said nothing more.
But as Xia Jiujiu grew up, she ate more and more snacks, and the glutinous rice balls didn't seem to be very delicious. She didn't like eating them. This custom of eating glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve was gradually adopted by Xia Yuanbao, who was getting busier and busier. Forget. Xia Jiujiu suddenly said that she wanted to eat glutinous rice balls tonight, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Why are you suddenly thinking about eating glutinous rice balls? Haven't we not eaten in two years?"
Xia Jiujiu answered the phone and heard Jiang Huaian's voice: "Xia Jiujiu."
"Um?"
At that time, Xia Yuanbao had not yet made a fortune, and they were still living in a small town, with a family of four living in a room of more than 70 square meters. Xia Juan is still a little kid who only follows Xia Jiujiu, and Xia Jiujiu is a little kid who likes to make a lot of demands.
Xia Jiujiu said nothing. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay." She looked up at Xia Yuanbao and said, "Dad, I will work hard."
She loved Jiang Huaian's youthful innocence when he was a boy, and she also loved Jiang Huaian's future transparency and tenderness that seemed to have been wiped clean by time.
Jiang Huaian's face stiffened: "What if I didn't get admitted to Tsinghua University?"
Jiang Huai quietly held her hand, focusing entirely on whether she was okay at the moment.
Xia Yuanbao originally wanted to say something, but after He Linlin spoke, he was very spineless and gave up.
With that said, Xia Jiujiu ran back, changed into a T-shirt and short skirt, tied her tail in a ponytail and came downstairs. Jiang Huaian looked at her jumping up and down with a smile, his eyes full of adoration.
"After the college entrance examination, let me tell you a secret."
Looking at the engagement ring, Xia Jiujiu suddenly felt her head buzzing. She felt severe pain in her head and couldn't help holding her head and taking a step back.
"Oh, yes."
Xia Jiujiu smiled and squeezed in. Before the car started, she heard someone knocking on the car window outside. Xia Yuanbao rolled down the window and frowned at the people outside.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Huaian didn't care at all about the secret. Xia Jiujiu has many secrets, and he has always known them.
Xia Jiujiu suddenly regained consciousness and stared blankly at Jiang Huaian.
Xia Jiujiu turned to look at him, and Xiajuan shook his head. Looking at Xia Jiujiu in front of him, he felt that at some point, this sister had grown into something he couldn't understand. In his memory, Xia Jiujiu had always been an innocent, simple little girl who lived in honey. Although she was his sister, when he looked at her, he always felt as if he was taking care of his own sister. But I don't know when Xia Jiujiu really started to look like a sister.
The art joint examination in the art examination consists of three subjects, namely color, drawing, and sketching. Each subject is worth 100 points, and a passing score of 150 points is required. After passing the joint entrance examination, you can apply for relevant schools in the province based on your college entrance examination results if you fail the school entrance examination.
"Find your right direction, follow your heart, and then move forward courageously. This is the way to fill your soul."
Jiang Huaian wore a black coat, a scarf, and gold-rimmed glasses. He smiled cheekily and said, "Well, uncle, can I go with you to see Xia Jiujiu off?"
"Um?"
The first time he met her reckless look, looking for a vague Jiang Huaian, he felt something was wrong at that time, but he never asked. She had many secrets, and he didn't want to, and he didn't have to ask. She wanted to say it was her business, but if she didn't want to talk about it, that was understandable.
So she chose not to think about anything and leaned on Jiang Huaian's shoulder without saying a word.
This exam is not important to Xia Jiujiu, but it is also a touchstone for her.
The two of them walked into the examination room together. Jiang Huaian looked at the little girl's back and slowly smiled.
Jiang Huai quietly held her hand, focusing entirely on whether she was okay at the moment.
Such uneasiness made him rush to confirm something. Maybe in the eyes of others, this was just a self-righteous romance between two high school students, but at this moment, those words were spoken from the bottom of his heart and he used all his courage to say them. Discourse.
Jiang Huai'an looked confused, and Xia Jiujiu said seriously: "Stop talking and eat quickly!"
Xia Jiujiu said calmly: "Wait for me, I'll be here soon."
Xia Juan didn't say anything. Xia Jiujiu took the last sip and put the beer can on the table. She was about to leave when she turned to see her brother's handsome profile.
"After the college entrance examination, let me tell you a secret."
"Find your right direction, follow your heart, and then move forward courageously. This is the way to fill your soul."
He Linlin asked her what New Year's Eve ceremony she wanted.
She listened to Xia Tianjuan's somewhat tired voice: "But, sister, I don't feel happy."
Xia Jiujiu smiled slowly: "It's good. I just had a headache just now, but it's completely gone now."
"Um."
Xia Jiujiu still just said "hmm" softly.
Old people can't stay up late. After dinner, Xia Yuanbao took He Linlin to go to bed. Before going, Xia Yuanbao turned around and asked Xia Jiujiu: "Are you going to take the art exam?"
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"
Xia Jiujiu said a little embarrassedly: "If you want to eat glutinous rice balls tonight, just tell me earlier and I won't go out."
Xia Jiujiu was a little suspicious: "In this weather, are you going to eat hot pot?"
"Jiang Huaian," Xia Jiujiu held up a beer with a serious face: "Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. You must go all out. Only when you and I meet at Tsinghua University will we have a future!"
Xia Tianjuan was convinced by this reason and endured it after thinking about it.
As she said that, she turned her head and looked at the fireworks outside the floor-to-ceiling skylight. Jiang Huaian was still kneeling on the ground with his eyes lowered, motionless. The ring was in his palm, but he didn't have the courage to ask her again.
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was satisfied.
The school begins a holiday one week before the college entrance examination to give students sufficient review time. Xia Jiujiu did not appear in Jiang Huaian's world at all, except for saying good morning and night every day. Until the day before the college entrance examination, Xia Jiujiu suddenly received a call from Jiang Huaian. As soon as Xia Jiujiu pressed the answer button, she heard Jiang Huaian's smiling voice: "Come down."
"Who said that?"
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Huaian quickly opened the car door and got into the car, squeezing into the back row. Xia Tian Juan looked at each other angrily: "You are too big, get off!"
Yang Wei smiled and said nothing more.
In fact, he wasn't that anxious at first, but for some reason, he always felt like something was chasing him and urging him. One day when he was walking on the road and saw a diamond customization shop, he suddenly couldn't walk.
Xia Yuanbao glared at Xia Juan: "Don't your mother often buy high imitations? Those people also think, how could your mother buy fakes if she is so rich..."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Huaian quickly opened the car door and got into the car, squeezing into the back row. Xia Tian Juan looked at each other angrily: "You are too big, get off!"
"You have to commit the crime," Xia Tian Juan rolled down the window from the back seat: "Sister, stop dawdling, come up quickly, we are about to set off!"
"Jiujiu, come back."
In modern society, a marriage proposal between two people like them, without announcing it to anyone, just like children playing house, does not actually have any effect. One day we broke up, and when I think about it, it was just a romance. But only in this way can he soothe his anxious heart.
Xia Jiujiu heard that it was Jiang Huaian, the Jiang Huaian who had been accompanying her in the previous world!
Xia Jiujiu suddenly regained consciousness and stared blankly at Jiang Huaian.
He always felt like something was approaching, forcing him to do something like this. There seemed to be something invisibly pushing time and behavior, making him always feel that he might lose Xia Jiujiu at any time.
Xia Jiujiu said nothing and stared at Jiang Huaian quietly. Jiang Huaian began to realize that something was wrong. He raised his hand and touched his face: "Why..."
"Jiujiu," Jiang Huaian pulled Xia Jiujiu and asked worriedly: "Tell me, what's wrong with you now?"
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"
Jiang Huai'an looked confused, and Xia Jiujiu said seriously: "Stop talking and eat quickly!"
Xia Juan didn't say anything. Xia Jiujiu took the last sip and put the beer can on the table. She was about to leave when she turned to see her brother's handsome profile.
Today's Jiang Huaian and future Jiang Huaian are indeed the same person. Even if they meet at different times, their kindness to her is exactly the same.
Such uneasiness made him rush to confirm something. Maybe in the eyes of others, this was just a self-righteous romance between two high school students, but at this moment, those words were spoken from the bottom of his heart and he used all his courage to say them. Discourse.
No, Jianghuai'an college entrance examination will be held tomorrow.
She suddenly realized that when she looked back, her life was completely different.
Xia Jiujiu said nothing and stared at Jiang Huaian quietly. Jiang Huaian began to realize that something was wrong. He raised his hand and touched his face: "Why..."
The so-called exhaustion of all courage means that after you have said it, you cannot say it a second time. But he didn't want to give up, so he just knelt down without saying a word.
He Linlin raised her voice, raised the fly swatter next to her and said, "You rebelled against me!"
Xia Jiujiu took a sip of beer and said helplessly: "But instead of studying, I turned to painting. I found that I could sit for five hours without moving and paint for a whole day without feeling tired. But not being tired means that I Not working hard? No, I spend so much time painting every day. Isn’t it my own hard work?”
At that time, Xia Yuanbao had not yet made a fortune, and they were still living in a small town, with a family of four living in a room of more than 70 square meters. Xia Juan is still a little kid who only follows Xia Jiujiu, and Xia Jiujiu is a little kid who likes to make a lot of demands.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and hugged Jiang Huaian.
"I don't know either," Xia Yuanbao sighed: "I was staying in the company, but I suddenly missed you so much that I hurried back. When I came back, I thought you loved eating glutinous rice balls, so I asked you Mom, hurry up and cook some glutinous rice balls. It’s been a long time since our family celebrated the New Year together. Let’s eat quickly and then go to bed.”
Xia Jiujiu was a little dumbfounded: "Is it worth committing such a big battle?"
Xia Jiujiu waited for a while and whispered, "Why aren't you wearing it yet?"
"no feeling?"
Jiang Huaian thought for a while and then corrected: "Oh, yes, you are not a little old woman, you are the kind that is already married, a young woman!"
Jiang Huai'an looked confused, and Xia Jiujiu said seriously: "Stop talking and eat quickly!"
The real Jiang Huaian, when he loves someone, his eyes are as hot as the blazing sun. It is definitely not like what he did later, peaceful and doting, with a bit of helplessness.
Xia Jiujiu straightened up in embarrassment: "Um, dad... mom..."
Jianghuaian…
"Xia Tian Juan, do you think I can get into a good university?"
Jiang Huaian was a little confused, raised his head and said "Huh?"
Then they started preparing for the school exam. When Xia Jiujiu went to Beijing, Jiang Huaian went to see her off. Before Xia Jiujiu entered the airport, she smiled and said to him: "I'll go to Beijing first to see it, and I'll go there before you."
The art joint examination in the art examination consists of three subjects, namely color, drawing, and sketching. Each subject is worth 100 points, and a passing score of 150 points is required. After passing the joint entrance examination, you can apply for relevant schools in the province based on your college entrance examination results if you fail the school entrance examination.
Xia Jiujiu turned her head and watched the fireworks slowly burn out. She kept her hand casually resting on the armrest and said a little shyly: "Put the ring on..."
During the exam, Xia Jiujiu felt very quiet inside. She listened to the rustling sound of pen tips around her, and felt that she was enriched by warmth and something indescribable.
"Okay, okay," she had always been very strong, and the pats made Xia Tianjuan's back hurt. Xia Tianjuan hurriedly surrendered; "Can you take the exams for Tsinghua University and Peking University?"
"Jiujiu, you should wake up."
Within a few days, Xia Jiujiu began to prepare for the joint entrance examination. Nancheng is the provincial capital city, and their provincial joint entrance examination happens to be in Nancheng.
"Xia Yuanbao!"
Jiang Huaian's eyes widened and he reacted suddenly. He quickly held Xia Jiujiu's hand and put the ring on her middle finger.
Gu Lan wanted to get into the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Xia Jiujiu wanted to get into the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts. The two wandered around Beijing together, taking photos from the Lama Temple to the Great Wall. Those who didn't know it didn't expect them to take the exam, and they all thought they were going on a trip.
Jiang Huai'an looked confused, and Xia Jiujiu said seriously: "Stop talking and eat quickly!"
His hand stroked her silky hair: "Every New Year from now on, I will countdown with you and tell you that I love you. I was not able to accompany you in the past, but I will be with you every year in the future. , I will be able to tell you in one year when we are all old and I go ahead of you."
"How is it different?" Xia Jiujiu was a little curious. After Jiang Huaian thought for a while, he slowly said: "She is like a delicate porcelain doll, innocent and innocent, which is not bad, but she just feels that something is missing. "But you are different." He turned to look at her: "When I look at you, I feel that you are shining."
Xia Jiujiu turned around and looked at him with wide eyes, feeling a little incredible. She was obviously still a beautiful little girl, why did she turn into a little old lady
"Find your right direction, follow your heart, and then move forward courageously. This is the way to fill your soul."
Xia Jiujiu turned around in confusion and saw Jiang Huaian in front of her. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say at the moment.
The family was talking while eating, and they were all joking. Xia Yuanbao joked about the ring on Xia Jiujiu's hand: "This ring can't be made of zircon, it looks really sparkling."
Xia Jiujiu was still embarrassed to look back, Jiang Huaian held her hand and said happily: "We will get married when you are of legal marriage age!"
After shouting, Xia Jiujiu and Jiang Huaian sat down, the boss got on the pot, and Xia Jiujiu ordered two cans of beer.
As Xia Jiujiu listened to him, she always felt that there was an illusion that time seemed to overlap.
Xia Jiujiu still just said "hmm" softly.
"I heard that you have to travel around for the art exam, right?"
Xia Jiujiu nodded: "Dad, why do you ask this?"
Xia Jiujiu was a little dumbfounded: "Is it worth committing such a big battle?"
"Do you want to think about it again?"
Jiang Huaian's eyes widened and he reacted suddenly. He quickly held Xia Jiujiu's hand and put the ring on her middle finger.
A few months after Song Zhe went abroad, the college entrance examination finally came.
"Boss, I want the spicy pot with heavy hemp and spicy heat!"
She liked this kind of brother very much. She didn't know why, but she suddenly had the illusion that this kind of summer family could disappear at any time. Without thinking much, she reached out and hugged him.
She slowly put her hand on Jiang Huaian's head. Jiang Huaian was slightly startled, and heard her slowly say: "Jiang Huaian..."
Xia Jiujiu turned her head and watched the fireworks slowly burn out. She kept her hand casually resting on the armrest and said a little shyly: "Put the ring on..."
"Sometimes I feel confused, especially when my mother tells you that girls don't have to work hard and just need to live a happy life. Then I think, why can't I live a happy life?"
Xia Jiujiu was still embarrassed to look back, Jiang Huaian held her hand and said happily: "We will get married when you are of legal marriage age!"
Xia Jiujiu said embarrassedly: "You haven't seen how big the outside world is yet, and you just want to marry me. If you find true love and divorce me in the future, wouldn't I suffer a lot?"
Xia Tianjuan was convinced by this reason and endured it after thinking about it.
Later, when she and Jiang Huaian were together, Jiang Huaian was like this. Every New Year's Eve, no matter where he was, even in the United States, he would come back to spend the New Year's Eve with her, and then say that I love you.
During the exam, Xia Jiujiu felt very quiet inside. She listened to the rustling sound of pen tips around her, and felt that she was enriched by warmth and something indescribable.
When she arrived at the door of her home, Xia Jiujiu saw that the lights were still on, and her heart skipped a beat. After bidding farewell to Jiang Huaian, she held up her skirt and carefully opened the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xia Yuanbao, He Linlin, and Xia Tian The family members were waiting in the house together.
"Xia Jiujiu," Jiang Huaian squatted on the ground, held her hand, looked at her with a smile and said, "You really look like a little old woman."
"Jiang Huaian," Xia Jiujiu held up a beer with a serious face: "Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. You must go all out. Only when you and I meet at Tsinghua University will we have a future!"
The so-called exhaustion of all courage means that after you have said it, you cannot say it a second time. But he didn't want to give up, so he just knelt down without saying a word.
"Okay," He Linlin said happily: "Get in the car quickly!"
She listened to Xia Tianjuan's somewhat tired voice: "But, sister, I don't feel happy."
Xia Jiujiu straightened up in embarrassment: "Um, dad... mom..."
Xia Jiujiu turned around and looked at him with wide eyes, feeling a little incredible. She was obviously still a beautiful little girl, why did she turn into a little old lady
Jiang Huaian immediately pulled Xia Jiujiu to go out. She raised a hand to hold him, covering her head and saying nothing. Jiang Huaian knew what she meant to stop him, so he didn't dare to move anymore, so he helped her sit on the single sofa in the back and stayed by her side.
Xia Yuanbao originally wanted to say something, but after He Linlin spoke, he was very spineless and gave up.
Anything that affects his mood should not be said at this time.
The first time he met her reckless look, looking for a vague Jiang Huaian, he felt something was wrong at that time, but he never asked. She had many secrets, and he didn't want to, and he didn't have to ask. She wanted to say it was her business, but if she didn't want to talk about it, that was understandable.
Xia Juan didn't understand, so Xia Jiujiu smiled: "Only habits can truly change, and what you notice is not called change, it is called the process of change."
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was satisfied.
Jiang Huaian thought for a while and then corrected: "Oh, yes, you are not a little old woman, you are the kind that is already married, a young woman!"
Xia Jiujiu looked at him in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Xia Jiujiu said nothing. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay." She looked up at Xia Yuanbao and said, "Dad, I will work hard."
She suddenly realized that when she looked back, her life was completely different.
Xia Jiujiu's eyes widened, and then she rushed out of the house and came to the front door. She saw Jiang Huaian standing on the roadside, wearing a patchwork T-shirt and holding a mobile phone in his hand, looking extremely flamboyant. , grinned and said: "Coming?"
These words made Xia Jiujiu stunned. She didn't know why, but she began to think back to Jiang Huaian in the past.
After hearing this, Xia Yuanbao nodded, understood and said, "Then tell me when the time comes and I will accompany you there."
Jiang Huaian felt a little embarrassed when he said this word: "What I mean is that at our age, you can think of divorce, which is too long-term. Don't normal people think about whether they can survive until marriage? … "
"You have to commit the crime," Xia Tian Juan rolled down the window from the back seat: "Sister, stop dawdling, come up quickly, we are about to set off!"
She had never noticed it before, but she always felt that Jiang Huaian's love for her was undeniable. However, comparing this moment with the current Jiang Huaian, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Xia Jiujiu felt a little aggrieved. This was the first time she realized that there seemed to be a slight age gap between her and Jiang Huaian. An old cucumber is still an old cucumber after being painted with green paint. Jianghuai'an is now truly in its green years.
"Okay, okay," she had always been very strong, and the pats made Xia Tianjuan's back hurt. Xia Tianjuan hurriedly surrendered; "Can you take the exams for Tsinghua University and Peking University?"
Jiang Huaian: "..."
Xia Yuanbao glared at Xia Juan: "Don't your mother often buy high imitations? Those people also think, how could your mother buy fakes if she is so rich..."
"I heard that you have to travel around for the art exam, right?"
Before they got married, Jiang Huaian did take the initiative to get an agreement, stating that if he took the initiative to divorce, he would leave the house.
New Year's Day passed quietly between the two brothers and sisters, and the winter snow also drifted down that night, covering the entire city.
Xia Jiujiu said, I like to eat glutinous rice balls, can we eat glutinous rice balls every New Year's Eve
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
This realization hurt Xia Jiujiu. She breathed blood in her chest and looked at Jiang Huaian unable to say a word.
Everyone was very busy that year. Xia Jiujiu was wandering around Beijing, and the only one who accompanied her was Gu Lan. The two of them rented a house, and Gu Lan followed her to eat and wait to die.
"Sometimes I feel confused, especially when my mother tells you that girls don't have to work hard and just need to live a happy life. Then I think, why can't I live a happy life?"
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was satisfied.
"Tianjuan, do you know what it feels like to work hard?"
People on the Internet have always praised her for her good drawing and her aura, but she has never taken any actual relevant exams.
Xia Yuanbao was very happy after hearing this. He nodded heavily: "Okay, dad, I will wait for you to provide for dad in the future!"
The family came in, sat on the carpet around the coffee table, and each person held a bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of them.
Seeing that she seemed to be really angry, Jiang Huaian hurriedly saved her: "I'm joking with you. Look at how I can divorce you. I promise you that when we get married, I will sign an agreement with you. If We’re divorced and I’m leaving the house, what do you think?”
He Linlin and Xia Yuanbao laughed, so they ate glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve for many years.
Xia Jiujiu suddenly woke up and pursed her lips: "If you can't let go, go find him."
Hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned.
He always felt like something was approaching, forcing him to do something like this. There seemed to be something invisibly pushing time and behavior, making him always feel that he might lose Xia Jiujiu at any time.
She listened to Xia Tianjuan's somewhat tired voice: "But, sister, I don't feel happy."
Before they got married, Jiang Huaian did take the initiative to get an agreement, stating that if he took the initiative to divorce, he would leave the house.
Xia Jiujiu waited for a while and whispered, "Why aren't you wearing it yet?"
Jiang Huaian smiled and said nothing.
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment. Looking at Jiang Huaian in front of her, she had many emotions surging in her heart.
Later, Xia Tian Juan never had such clarity and simplicity. He is not very bad, but his decision-making is not very good either. I casually entered a university and inherited the family business. However, at this moment, Xia Tianjuan sitting next to her has not been polished by the world. Even just a profile of her face can make you feel the youthful energy.
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"
The two hugged each other for a while, then separated, and returned to the sofa. They leaned together, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment and not knowing what to do. Jiang Huaian thought for a long time, took out the paper and said, "Let me tell you a few more questions..."
Xia Jiujiu nodded: "Dad, why do you ask this?"
His hand stroked her silky hair: "Every New Year from now on, I will countdown with you and tell you that I love you. I was not able to accompany you in the past, but I will be with you every year in the future. , I will be able to tell you in one year when we are all old and I go ahead of you."
"Boss, I want the spicy pot with heavy hemp and spicy heat!"
Xia Yuanbao glared at Xia Juan: "Don't your mother often buy high imitations? Those people also think, how could your mother buy fakes if she is so rich..."
Today's Jiang Huaian and future Jiang Huaian are indeed the same person. Even if they meet at different times, their kindness to her is exactly the same.
So they talked about the topic until half past one. Xia Jiujiu felt a little sleepy, so Jiang Huaian sent her home.
Jiang Huaian's eyes widened and he reacted suddenly. He quickly held Xia Jiujiu's hand and put the ring on her middle finger.
"Xia Tian Jian," she said with a hint of alcohol, "Happy New Year, promise me, will you work harder in the future?"
"It's okay." Xia Jiujiu raised her hand and gasped softly: "I just feel a headache suddenly."
She suddenly started to panic, and images of Jiang Huaian flashed through her mind one after another. She couldn't get out until Jiang Huaian took him to the hot pot restaurant.
Who was it just now that was in a daze and not eating
She loved Jiang Huaian's youthful innocence when he was a boy, and she also loved Jiang Huaian's future transparency and tenderness that seemed to have been wiped clean by time.
Xia Jiujiu heard that it was Jiang Huaian, the Jiang Huaian who had been accompanying her in the previous world!
"Of course." Jiang Huaian smiled and hugged her back: "Xia Jiujiu."
She suddenly realized that when she looked back, her life was completely different.
Xia Jiujiu straightened up in embarrassment: "Um, dad... mom..."
Before they got married, Jiang Huaian did take the initiative to get an agreement, stating that if he took the initiative to divorce, he would leave the house.
Who was it just now that was in a daze and not eating
On the day of the exam, Xia Jiujiu got up early and received a message from Jiang Huaian: "Come on!"
Xia Jiujiu was still embarrassed to look back, Jiang Huaian held her hand and said happily: "We will get married when you are of legal marriage age!"
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and hugged Jiang Huaian.
His eyes were a little too soft, as if he were someone who had traveled through time and was looking at a child. Xia Jiujiu couldn't help but look up at him: "What did you dream about?"
"He especially hated me for not accompanying him, but I also hated myself and couldn't let him go."
Xia Juan didn't say anything, and Xia Jiujiu continued: "Just wait, Xia Juan, I will definitely get you into a good school and come back!"
"Um?"
He Linlin raised her voice, raised the fly swatter next to her and said, "You rebelled against me!"
He Linlin and Xia Yuanbao laughed, so they ate glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve for many years.
"I don't know either," Xia Yuanbao sighed: "I was staying in the company, but I suddenly missed you so much that I hurried back. When I came back, I thought you loved eating glutinous rice balls, so I asked you Mom, hurry up and cook some glutinous rice balls. It’s been a long time since our family celebrated the New Year together. Let’s eat quickly and then go to bed.”
"Then you promise me." When she hugged Jiang Huai'an, she felt as if she were really an eighteen-year-old girl: "In the future, you must always love me."
Xia Jiujiu said calmly: "Wait for me, I'll be here soon."
Xia Jiujiu took a sip of beer and said helplessly: "But instead of studying, I turned to painting. I found that I could sit for five hours without moving and paint for a whole day without feeling tired. But not being tired means that I Not working hard? No, I spend so much time painting every day. Isn’t it my own hard work?”
Jiang Huaian felt a little embarrassed when he said this word: "What I mean is that at our age, you can think of divorce, which is too long-term. Don't normal people think about whether they can survive until marriage? … "
She had never noticed it before, but she always felt that Jiang Huaian's love for her was undeniable. However, comparing this moment with the current Jiang Huaian, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Of course." Jiang Huaian smiled and hugged her back: "Xia Jiujiu."
"Then I can pass the exam," Xia Jiujiu finally returned to the topic: "Why can't you pass the exam? Your grades are much better than mine."
Xia Jiujiu felt a little aggrieved. This was the first time she realized that there seemed to be a slight age gap between her and Jiang Huaian. An old cucumber is still an old cucumber after being painted with green paint. Jianghuai'an is now truly in its green years.
"How is it different?" Xia Jiujiu was a little curious. After Jiang Huaian thought for a while, he slowly said: "She is like a delicate porcelain doll, innocent and innocent, which is not bad, but she just feels that something is missing. "But you are different." He turned to look at her: "When I look at you, I feel that you are shining."
"I'm very rebellious," Xia Tian Juan said with confusion in her voice, "I just think that I have to live my life happily. This is not your privilege, I should be able to have it too."
Today's Jiang Huaian and future Jiang Huaian are indeed the same person. Even if they meet at different times, their kindness to her is exactly the same.
A few months after Song Zhe went abroad, the college entrance examination finally came.
"OK."
The school begins a holiday one week before the college entrance examination to give students sufficient review time. Xia Jiujiu did not appear in Jiang Huaian's world at all, except for saying good morning and night every day. Until the day before the college entrance examination, Xia Jiujiu suddenly received a call from Jiang Huaian. As soon as Xia Jiujiu pressed the answer button, she heard Jiang Huaian's smiling voice: "Come down."
His hand stroked her silky hair: "Every New Year from now on, I will countdown with you and tell you that I love you. I was not able to accompany you in the past, but I will be with you every year in the future. , I will be able to tell you in one year when we are all old and I go ahead of you."
Xia Yuanbao originally wanted to say something, but after He Linlin spoke, he was very spineless and gave up.
The whole family sent Xia Jiujiu to the examination room. Before entering, Xia Jiujiu turned around and saw the people standing at the door. She was in a trance for a moment, not knowing whether these people really existed.
Jiang Huaian was a little confused, raised his head and said "Huh?"
"Xia Tian Jian," she said with a hint of alcohol, "Happy New Year, promise me, will you work harder in the future?"
The first time he met her reckless look, looking for a vague Jiang Huaian, he felt something was wrong at that time, but he never asked. She had many secrets, and he didn't want to, and he didn't have to ask. She wanted to say it was her business, but if she didn't want to talk about it, that was understandable.
Jiang Huaian raised his eyebrows and said gently: "I want to treat you to hot pot, so I'm here."
Jiang Huaian wore a black coat, a scarf, and gold-rimmed glasses. He smiled cheekily and said, "Well, uncle, can I go with you to see Xia Jiujiu off?"
At that time, there were not so many fancy things to do during the holidays. Xia Jiujiu saw that other people’s houses had many things to play with during New Year’s Eve, so she told Xia Yuanbao and He Linlin that they also wanted a special New Year’s Eve ceremony.
"tell me what?"
The two hugged each other for a while, then separated, and returned to the sofa. They leaned together, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment and not knowing what to do. Jiang Huaian thought for a long time, took out the paper and said, "Let me tell you a few more questions..."
She listened to Xia Tianjuan's somewhat tired voice: "But, sister, I don't feel happy."
He always felt like something was approaching, forcing him to do something like this. There seemed to be something invisibly pushing time and behavior, making him always feel that he might lose Xia Jiujiu at any time.
She responded softly, and after a long time, she heard Jiang Huaian say: "We will always be together."
At that time, Xia Yuanbao had not yet made a fortune, and they were still living in a small town, with a family of four living in a room of more than 70 square meters. Xia Juan is still a little kid who only follows Xia Jiujiu, and Xia Jiujiu is a little kid who likes to make a lot of demands.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Xia Tianjuan quickly rectified Jiang Huai'an's name: "Brother Jiang is rich and will not fool my sister with fake things."
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
Jianghuaian…
Xia Jiujiu was a little confused, and Jiang Huaian chuckled: "Tell you, Xia Jiujiu, I will love you forever."
"Okay," He Linlin said happily: "Get in the car quickly!"
The whole family sent Xia Jiujiu to the examination room. Before entering, Xia Jiujiu turned around and saw the people standing at the door. She was in a trance for a moment, not knowing whether these people really existed.
Xia Jiujiu took a sip of beer and said helplessly: "But instead of studying, I turned to painting. I found that I could sit for five hours without moving and paint for a whole day without feeling tired. But not being tired means that I Not working hard? No, I spend so much time painting every day. Isn’t it my own hard work?”
"Jiujiu," Jiang Huaian pulled Xia Jiujiu and asked worriedly: "Tell me, what's wrong with you now?"
Xia Yuanbao was very happy after hearing this. He nodded heavily: "Okay, dad, I will wait for you to provide for dad in the future!"
Many voices rolled into Xia Jiujiu's mind.
"Um?"
Xia Jiujiu straightened up in embarrassment: "Um, dad... mom..."
Hearing this, Xia Jiujiu fell silent. She leaned on Jiang Huaian's shoulder, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Jiang Huaian's face stiffened: "What if I didn't get admitted to Tsinghua University?"
She slowly put her hand on Jiang Huaian's head. Jiang Huaian was slightly startled, and heard her slowly say: "Jiang Huaian..."
Jiang Huaian was a little confused, raised his head and said "Huh?"
Later, when she and Jiang Huaian were together, Jiang Huaian was like this. Every New Year's Eve, no matter where he was, even in the United States, he would come back to spend the New Year's Eve with her, and then say that I love you.
"Okay, okay," she had always been very strong, and the pats made Xia Tianjuan's back hurt. Xia Tianjuan hurriedly surrendered; "Can you take the exams for Tsinghua University and Peking University?"
After listening to Xia Jiujiu's words, Xia Juan lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, can I get into a good university?"
"Go ahead," Jiang Huaian patted her on the head: "I have long legs and will catch up quickly."
Xia Jiujiu held Jiang Huaian's hand and entered the store aggressively.
As Xia Jiujiu listened to him, she always felt that there was an illusion that time seemed to overlap.
Within a few days, Xia Jiujiu began to prepare for the joint entrance examination. Nancheng is the provincial capital city, and their provincial joint entrance examination happens to be in Nancheng.
Jiang Huaian's face stiffened: "What if I didn't get admitted to Tsinghua University?"
When Yang Wei hung up the phone and the dawn light fell on the room, the phone suddenly rang. When Xia Jiujiu saw the name on it, the three words "Jiang Huaian" jumped up.
So she chose not to think about anything and leaned on Jiang Huaian's shoulder without saying a word.
With that said, Xia Jiujiu ran back, changed into a T-shirt and short skirt, tied her tail in a ponytail and came downstairs. Jiang Huaian looked at her jumping up and down with a smile, his eyes full of adoration.
After shouting, Xia Jiujiu and Jiang Huaian sat down, the boss got on the pot, and Xia Jiujiu ordered two cans of beer.
With that said, Xia Jiujiu ran back, changed into a T-shirt and short skirt, tied her tail in a ponytail and came downstairs. Jiang Huaian looked at her jumping up and down with a smile, his eyes full of adoration.
A few months after Song Zhe went abroad, the college entrance examination finally came.
Xia Jiujiu said calmly: "Wait for me, I'll be here soon."
Jiang Huaian thought for a while and then corrected: "Oh, yes, you are not a little old woman, you are the kind that is already married, a young woman!"
Everyone was very busy that year. Xia Jiujiu was wandering around Beijing, and the only one who accompanied her was Gu Lan. The two of them rented a house, and Gu Lan followed her to eat and wait to die.
Xia Jiujiu turned to look at him, and Xiajuan shook his head. Looking at Xia Jiujiu in front of him, he felt that at some point, this sister had grown into something he couldn't understand. In his memory, Xia Jiujiu had always been an innocent, simple little girl who lived in honey. Although she was his sister, when he looked at her, he always felt as if he was taking care of his own sister. But I don't know when Xia Jiujiu really started to look like a sister.
The two hugged each other for a while, then separated, and returned to the sofa. They leaned together, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment and not knowing what to do. Jiang Huaian thought for a long time, took out the paper and said, "Let me tell you a few more questions..."
Xia Jiujiu turned her head and watched the fireworks slowly burn out. She kept her hand casually resting on the armrest and said a little shyly: "Put the ring on..."
The winter vacation has passed by in a hurry, and Xia Jiujiu's joint entrance examination results have also come out. She did well in the test, with scores similar to Gu Lan's, and everyone specially celebrated for this.
So they talked about the topic until half past one. Xia Jiujiu felt a little sleepy, so Jiang Huaian sent her home.
Xia Tianjuan was convinced by this reason and endured it after thinking about it.
The two of them walked into the examination room together. Jiang Huaian looked at the little girl's back and slowly smiled.
"Um."
When she arrived at the door of her home, Xia Jiujiu saw that the lights were still on, and her heart skipped a beat. After bidding farewell to Jiang Huaian, she held up her skirt and carefully opened the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xia Yuanbao, He Linlin, and Xia Tian The family members were waiting in the house together.
"After the college entrance examination, let me tell you a secret."
"Tweet," Xia Yuanbao said with gentle eyes, "Dad saw you working hard and always wanted to help you. But the road to study is your own, and I can't help you. I can only go with you. Don’t refuse dad’s kindness, eh?”
During the exam, Xia Jiujiu felt very quiet inside. She listened to the rustling sound of pen tips around her, and felt that she was enriched by warmth and something indescribable.
No, Jianghuai'an college entrance examination will be held tomorrow.
Xia Jiujiu nodded: "Dad, why do you ask this?"
This exam is not important to Xia Jiujiu, but it is also a touchstone for her.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Huaian didn't care at all about the secret. Xia Jiujiu has many secrets, and he has always known them.
Xia Jiujiu straightened up in embarrassment: "Um, dad... mom..."
Jiang Huai'an quickly shrank and hid behind Xia Jiujiu and said, "No, no, no, no, I'm very small. Don't argue with me. Send your sister to take the exam quickly."
Xia Jiujiu smiled slowly: "It's good. I just had a headache just now, but it's completely gone now."
Jiang Huaian pinched her face: "Come to your senses, little silly cat."
Hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned.
Jiang Huaian thought for a while and then corrected: "Oh, yes, you are not a little old woman, you are the kind that is already married, a young woman!"
"Stop talking, stop talking," Xia Yuanbao greeted her: "Your mother cooked glutinous rice balls, and I said I'd wait for you to come back to eat them together. It's New Year's Eve, so I won't scold you. Come here quickly."
The art joint examination in the art examination consists of three subjects, namely color, drawing, and sketching. Each subject is worth 100 points, and a passing score of 150 points is required. After passing the joint entrance examination, you can apply for relevant schools in the province based on your college entrance examination results if you fail the school entrance examination.
"Jiujiu," Jiang Huaian pulled Xia Jiujiu and asked worriedly: "Tell me, what's wrong with you now?"
"It's okay." Xia Jiujiu raised her hand and gasped softly: "I just feel a headache suddenly."
"Xia Yuanbao!"
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"
She loved Jiang Huaian's youthful innocence when he was a boy, and she also loved Jiang Huaian's future transparency and tenderness that seemed to have been wiped clean by time.
Xia Jiujiu raised her eyes to look at him, and Xia Juan looked out the window with a dazed look: "My parents have always told me to work hard since I was a child, and they also told you not to work hard. Sometimes I don't understand whether to be a human being is to work hard or not. If you don’t work hard, what will it feel like if you work hard?”
Xia Jiujiu did well in the school exam, and she didn't feel too much pressure. She reviewed the test papers at the same pace every day, waiting for the college entrance examination.
Xia Jiujiu was about to say something, but suddenly remembered.
Jiang Huaian pinched her face: "Come to your senses, little silly cat."
Song Zhe finally left the country. The day before leaving the country, Yang Wei called Xia Jiujiu. She didn't say anything, but just chatted with Xia Jiujiu all night. Yang Wei didn't mention Song Zhe a word all night, until finally, near dawn, Xia Jiujiu was in a daze and heard Yang Wei say something.
The family came in, sat on the carpet around the coffee table, and each person held a bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of them.
Gu Lan came over, she poked Xia and tweeted: "Let's go."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Huaian quickly opened the car door and got into the car, squeezing into the back row. Xia Tian Juan looked at each other angrily: "You are too big, get off!"
"Jiujiu, come back."
"Jiang Huaian," Xia Jiujiu held up a beer with a serious face: "Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. You must go all out. Only when you and I meet at Tsinghua University will we have a future!"
"I read a passage in a book before. It probably means, what is happiness? Happiness is a process of pursuing the perfection of the soul. Before we are born, we have a complete soul. When we are born, there is something in this soul. Many things have been taken out and scattered in the world. Throughout our lives, we are looking for these fragments of souls. When will we be happy?"
During the exam, Xia Jiujiu felt very quiet inside. She listened to the rustling sound of pen tips around her, and felt that she was enriched by warmth and something indescribable.
New Year's Day passed quietly between the two brothers and sisters, and the winter snow also drifted down that night, covering the entire city.
Xia Jiujiu said a little embarrassedly: "If you want to eat glutinous rice balls tonight, just tell me earlier and I won't go out."
These words made Xia Jiujiu stunned. She didn't know why, but she began to think back to Jiang Huaian in the past.
Jiang Huai'an looked confused, and Xia Jiujiu said seriously: "Stop talking and eat quickly!"
Xia Jiujiu was a little dumbfounded: "Is it worth committing such a big battle?"
Xia Jiujiu didn't say anything. She knew that Xia Juan was not looking for recognition.
Eating glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve is a unique custom of their family.
Xia Jiujiu answered the phone and heard Jiang Huaian's voice: "Xia Jiujiu."
She stood in the examination room, the tip of her nose traced the eyebrows of the characters in the painting, and she couldn't help but smile.
"How is it different?" Xia Jiujiu was a little curious. After Jiang Huaian thought for a while, he slowly said: "She is like a delicate porcelain doll, innocent and innocent, which is not bad, but she just feels that something is missing. "But you are different." He turned to look at her: "When I look at you, I feel that you are shining."
Xia Jiujiu said calmly: "Wait for me, I'll be here soon."
At that time, Xia Yuanbao had not yet made a fortune, and they were still living in a small town, with a family of four living in a room of more than 70 square meters. Xia Juan is still a little kid who only follows Xia Jiujiu, and Xia Jiujiu is a little kid who likes to make a lot of demands.
Anything that affects his mood should not be said at this time.
"Do you want to think about it again?"
"Okay," He Linlin said happily: "Get in the car quickly!"
At that time, there were not so many fancy things to do during the holidays. Xia Jiujiu saw that other people’s houses had many things to play with during New Year’s Eve, so she told Xia Yuanbao and He Linlin that they also wanted a special New Year’s Eve ceremony.
"Things that require struggle are tiring. Just like I always wanted to get into Peking University from the beginning. I struggled, I struggled, but what was the result?"
Xia Jiujiu raised her eyes to look at him, and Xia Juan looked out the window with a dazed look: "My parents have always told me to work hard since I was a child, and they also told you not to work hard. Sometimes I don't understand whether to be a human being is to work hard or not. If you don’t work hard, what will it feel like if you work hard?”
Who was it just now that was in a daze and not eating
She suddenly realized that when she looked back, her life was completely different.
Yang Wei smiled and said nothing more.
The winter vacation has passed by in a hurry, and Xia Jiujiu's joint entrance examination results have also come out. She did well in the test, with scores similar to Gu Lan's, and everyone specially celebrated for this.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Huaian didn't care at all about the secret. Xia Jiujiu has many secrets, and he has always known them.
He Linlin asked her what New Year's Eve ceremony she wanted.
"Things that require struggle are tiring. Just like I always wanted to get into Peking University from the beginning. I struggled, I struggled, but what was the result?"
Jiang Huaian felt a little embarrassed when he said this word: "What I mean is that at our age, you can think of divorce, which is too long-term. Don't normal people think about whether they can survive until marriage? … "
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
"Find your right direction, follow your heart, and then move forward courageously. This is the way to fill your soul."
The winter vacation has passed by in a hurry, and Xia Jiujiu's joint entrance examination results have also come out. She did well in the test, with scores similar to Gu Lan's, and everyone specially celebrated for this.
"So, can you tell me," he turned to look at Xia Jiujiu and said seriously: "Sister, when you work hard, will you feel happy?"
Xia Jiujiu said, I like to eat glutinous rice balls, can we eat glutinous rice balls every New Year's Eve
So who is this person in front of me
"Tianjuan, do you know what it feels like to work hard?"
"Xia Tian Juan, do you think I can get into a good university?"
Jiang Huaian's face stiffened: "What if I didn't get admitted to Tsinghua University?"
He Linlin and Xia Yuanbao laughed, so they ate glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve for many years.
She listened to Xia Tianjuan's somewhat tired voice: "But, sister, I don't feel happy."
no.
But as Xia Jiujiu grew up, she ate more and more snacks, and the glutinous rice balls didn't seem to be very delicious. She didn't like eating them. This custom of eating glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve was gradually adopted by Xia Yuanbao, who was getting busier and busier. Forget. Xia Jiujiu suddenly said that she wanted to eat glutinous rice balls tonight, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Why are you suddenly thinking about eating glutinous rice balls? Haven't we not eaten in two years?"
Xia Jiujiu took her last sip of glutinous rice ball soup and listened to Xia Juan slowly say: "Sister, will you feel happy if you work hard?"
"no feeling?"
Who was it just now that was in a daze and not eating
"Do you want to think about it again?"
"I'll take you to the hospital."
"How can you feel happy if you work hard for a while?" Xia Jiujiu told the truth. She reached forward, took the beer from the coffee table, opened the lid, and heard the sound of "pop" of gas exploding. She shared a bottle of Xia Juan. , slowly said: "A temporary effort will only make you feel extremely painful."
During the exam, Xia Jiujiu felt very quiet inside. She listened to the rustling sound of pen tips around her, and felt that she was enriched by warmth and something indescribable.
"I don't know either," Xia Yuanbao sighed: "I was staying in the company, but I suddenly missed you so much that I hurried back. When I came back, I thought you loved eating glutinous rice balls, so I asked you Mom, hurry up and cook some glutinous rice balls. It’s been a long time since our family celebrated the New Year together. Let’s eat quickly and then go to bed.”
"Then you promise me." When she hugged Jiang Huai'an, she felt as if she were really an eighteen-year-old girl: "In the future, you must always love me."
"I heard that you have to travel around for the art exam, right?"
Hearing this, Xia Jiujiu fell silent. She leaned on Jiang Huaian's shoulder, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Everyone was very busy that year. Xia Jiujiu was wandering around Beijing, and the only one who accompanied her was Gu Lan. The two of them rented a house, and Gu Lan followed her to eat and wait to die.
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
"Things that require struggle are tiring. Just like I always wanted to get into Peking University from the beginning. I struggled, I struggled, but what was the result?"
"I... didn't think much about it."
The family was talking while eating, and they were all joking. Xia Yuanbao joked about the ring on Xia Jiujiu's hand: "This ring can't be made of zircon, it looks really sparkling."
Before they got married, Jiang Huaian did take the initiative to get an agreement, stating that if he took the initiative to divorce, he would leave the house.
"Then you promise me." When she hugged Jiang Huai'an, she felt as if she were really an eighteen-year-old girl: "In the future, you must always love me."
People on the Internet have always praised her for her good drawing and her aura, but she has never taken any actual relevant exams.
She stood in the examination room, the tip of her nose traced the eyebrows of the characters in the painting, and she couldn't help but smile.
So she chose not to think about anything and leaned on Jiang Huaian's shoulder without saying a word.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Xia Tianjuan quickly rectified Jiang Huai'an's name: "Brother Jiang is rich and will not fool my sister with fake things."
She looked at the person in front of her and slowly regained her consciousness. She had been reborn and lived a new life. Everything was fine. Everything was ahead. There were no regrets or twists and turns. Her life had always been smooth sailing, and this time it was no different.
Xia Jiujiu turned her head and watched the fireworks slowly burn out. She kept her hand casually resting on the armrest and said a little shyly: "Put the ring on..."
"Who said that?"
As she said that, she turned her head and looked at the fireworks outside the floor-to-ceiling skylight. Jiang Huaian was still kneeling on the ground with his eyes lowered, motionless. The ring was in his palm, but he didn't have the courage to ask her again.
The winter vacation has passed by in a hurry, and Xia Jiujiu's joint entrance examination results have also come out. She did well in the test, with scores similar to Gu Lan's, and everyone specially celebrated for this.
"How do we pursue it? It is through learning, through struggle, and through these positive behaviors to feel the touch of the soul."
"Sometimes I feel confused, especially when my mother tells you that girls don't have to work hard and just need to live a happy life. Then I think, why can't I live a happy life?"
Xia Yuanbao glared at Xia Juan: "Don't your mother often buy high imitations? Those people also think, how could your mother buy fakes if she is so rich..."
When Yang Wei hung up the phone and the dawn light fell on the room, the phone suddenly rang. When Xia Jiujiu saw the name on it, the three words "Jiang Huaian" jumped up.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Huaian quickly opened the car door and got into the car, squeezing into the back row. Xia Tian Juan looked at each other angrily: "You are too big, get off!"
"Xia Yuanbao!"
This exam is not important to Xia Jiujiu, but it is also a touchstone for her.
Jiang Huaian smiled and said nothing.
Xia Jiujiu suddenly woke up and pursed her lips: "If you can't let go, go find him."
The real Jiang Huaian, when he loves someone, his eyes are as hot as the blazing sun. It is definitely not like what he did later, peaceful and doting, with a bit of helplessness.
Xia Jiujiu said a little embarrassedly: "If you want to eat glutinous rice balls tonight, just tell me earlier and I won't go out."
"Jiujiu, you should wake up."
He Linlin raised her voice, raised the fly swatter next to her and said, "You rebelled against me!"
When Yang Wei hung up the phone and the dawn light fell on the room, the phone suddenly rang. When Xia Jiujiu saw the name on it, the three words "Jiang Huaian" jumped up.
New Year's Day passed quietly between the two brothers and sisters, and the winter snow also drifted down that night, covering the entire city.
Xia Jiujiu held Jiang Huaian's hand and entered the store aggressively.
"I don't know either," Xia Yuanbao sighed: "I was staying in the company, but I suddenly missed you so much that I hurried back. When I came back, I thought you loved eating glutinous rice balls, so I asked you Mom, hurry up and cook some glutinous rice balls. It’s been a long time since our family celebrated the New Year together. Let’s eat quickly and then go to bed.”
"no feeling?"
"Miss you."
"So, can you tell me," he turned to look at Xia Jiujiu and said seriously: "Sister, when you work hard, will you feel happy?"
"Boss, please spare my life. Boss, please spare my life," Xia Yuanbao used his chubby body to knock down He Linlin and argued, "Madam, just spare the life of this little dog!"
After hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was satisfied.
At that time, Xia Yuanbao had not yet made a fortune, and they were still living in a small town, with a family of four living in a room of more than 70 square meters. Xia Juan is still a little kid who only follows Xia Jiujiu, and Xia Jiujiu is a little kid who likes to make a lot of demands.
Hearing this, the whole family couldn't help laughing. Xia Jiujiu held the bowl and watched her parents playing tricks.
Jiang Huaian was a little confused, raised his head and said "Huh?"
"It's okay." Xia Jiujiu raised her hand and gasped softly: "I just feel a headache suddenly."
Old people can't stay up late. After dinner, Xia Yuanbao took He Linlin to go to bed. Before going, Xia Yuanbao turned around and asked Xia Jiujiu: "Are you going to take the art exam?"
Xia Jiujiu heard that it was Jiang Huaian, the Jiang Huaian who had been accompanying her in the previous world!
Xia Tianjuan didn't speak. The two of them hugged their knees, leaned against the sofa, sat on the carpet, and looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
This realization hurt Xia Jiujiu. She breathed blood in her chest and looked at Jiang Huaian unable to say a word.
"no feeling?"
"Oh, yes."
Xia Juan didn't understand, so Xia Jiujiu smiled: "Only habits can truly change, and what you notice is not called change, it is called the process of change."
"It's okay." Xia Jiujiu raised her hand and gasped softly: "I just feel a headache suddenly."
Xia Jiujiu straightened up in embarrassment: "Um, dad... mom..."
The whole family sent Xia Jiujiu to the examination room. Before entering, Xia Jiujiu turned around and saw the people standing at the door. She was in a trance for a moment, not knowing whether these people really existed.
Such uneasiness made him rush to confirm something. Maybe in the eyes of others, this was just a self-righteous romance between two high school students, but at this moment, those words were spoken from the bottom of his heart and he used all his courage to say them. Discourse.
"So, can you tell me," he turned to look at Xia Jiujiu and said seriously: "Sister, when you work hard, will you feel happy?"
Xia Jiujiu nodded: "Dad, why do you ask this?"
"Stop talking, stop talking," Xia Yuanbao greeted her: "Your mother cooked glutinous rice balls, and I said I'd wait for you to come back to eat them together. It's New Year's Eve, so I won't scold you. Come here quickly."
"Jiang Huaian," Xia Jiujiu held up a beer with a serious face: "Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. You must go all out. Only when you and I meet at Tsinghua University will we have a future!"
Hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned.
"I heard that you have to travel around for the art exam, right?"
Hearing this, Xia Jiujiu was stunned.
"I dreamed that you were my girlfriend." Jiang Huaian said about his dream: "The two of us always go to eat hot pot together. There are many people around, and you are different from now."
Xia Tianjuan was convinced by this reason and endured it after thinking about it.
With that said, he went back to the room at the urging of He Linlin. He drank some wine and was a little excited. He kept praising: "Jiujiu is very powerful. She is indeed my child. I have known that she has been great since she was a child!"
No, Jianghuai'an college entrance examination will be held tomorrow.
The whole family sent Xia Jiujiu to the examination room. Before entering, Xia Jiujiu turned around and saw the people standing at the door. She was in a trance for a moment, not knowing whether these people really existed.
"You don't need to take the joint entrance examination," Xia Jiujiu explained seriously, "I will have to run around while waiting for the school entrance examination."
This exam is not important to Xia Jiujiu, but it is also a touchstone for her.
So she slowly put away the complicated emotions in her heart. She took a deep breath, held Jiang Huaian's hand and said, "Don't think so much, let's eat well!"
Hearing this, the whole family couldn't help laughing. Xia Jiujiu held the bowl and watched her parents playing tricks.
After hearing this, Xia Yuanbao nodded, understood and said, "Then tell me when the time comes and I will accompany you there."
Such uneasiness made him rush to confirm something. Maybe in the eyes of others, this was just a self-righteous romance between two high school students, but at this moment, those words were spoken from the bottom of his heart and he used all his courage to say them. Discourse.
This realization hurt Xia Jiujiu. She breathed blood in her chest and looked at Jiang Huaian unable to say a word.
Xia Yuanbao glared at Xia Juan: "Don't your mother often buy high imitations? Those people also think, how could your mother buy fakes if she is so rich..."
With that said, he went back to the room at the urging of He Linlin. He drank some wine and was a little excited. He kept praising: "Jiujiu is very powerful. She is indeed my child. I have known that she has been great since she was a child!"
"So, the result of real hard work is that you can't feel your efforts, but the whole world knows that you are working hard."
Jiang Huai'an quickly shrank and hid behind Xia Jiujiu and said, "No, no, no, no, I'm very small. Don't argue with me. Send your sister to take the exam quickly."
Jiang Huaian felt a little embarrassed when he said this word: "What I mean is that at our age, you can think of divorce, which is too long-term. Don't normal people think about whether they can survive until marriage? … "
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
"No need..." Xia Jiujiu opened her eyes wide: "Dad, aren't you very busy?"
Xia Jiujiu heard that it was Jiang Huaian, the Jiang Huaian who had been accompanying her in the previous world!
Xia Jiujiu turned around and looked at him with wide eyes, feeling a little incredible. She was obviously still a beautiful little girl, why did she turn into a little old lady
"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Xia Tianjuan quickly rectified Jiang Huai'an's name: "Brother Jiang is rich and will not fool my sister with fake things."
"No matter how busy you are, your affairs are not important." Xia Yuanbao patted his belly: "Dad, I will go through the mountains of swords and the sea of fire for you, even if the company doesn't want it!"
Xia Yuanbao was very happy after hearing this. He nodded heavily: "Okay, dad, I will wait for you to provide for dad in the future!"
He always felt like something was approaching, forcing him to do something like this. There seemed to be something invisibly pushing time and behavior, making him always feel that he might lose Xia Jiujiu at any time.
The school begins a holiday one week before the college entrance examination to give students sufficient review time. Xia Jiujiu did not appear in Jiang Huaian's world at all, except for saying good morning and night every day. Until the day before the college entrance examination, Xia Jiujiu suddenly received a call from Jiang Huaian. As soon as Xia Jiujiu pressed the answer button, she heard Jiang Huaian's smiling voice: "Come down."
"Find your right direction, follow your heart, and then move forward courageously. This is the way to fill your soul."
The family was talking while eating, and they were all joking. Xia Yuanbao joked about the ring on Xia Jiujiu's hand: "This ring can't be made of zircon, it looks really sparkling."
Does Jiang Huaian love her? Did you really love her
Xia Jiujiu raised her eyes to look at him, and Xia Juan looked out the window with a dazed look: "My parents have always told me to work hard since I was a child, and they also told you not to work hard. Sometimes I don't understand whether to be a human being is to work hard or not. If you don’t work hard, what will it feel like if you work hard?”
"real… "
After listening to Xia Jiujiu's words, Xia Juan lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, can I get into a good university?"
"Okay, okay," she had always been very strong, and the pats made Xia Tianjuan's back hurt. Xia Tianjuan hurriedly surrendered; "Can you take the exams for Tsinghua University and Peking University?"
This exam is not important to Xia Jiujiu, but it is also a touchstone for her.
"You have to commit the crime," Xia Tian Juan rolled down the window from the back seat: "Sister, stop dawdling, come up quickly, we are about to set off!"
Jiang Huai'an quickly shrank and hid behind Xia Jiujiu and said, "No, no, no, no, I'm very small. Don't argue with me. Send your sister to take the exam quickly."
"Boss, please spare my life. Boss, please spare my life," Xia Yuanbao used his chubby body to knock down He Linlin and argued, "Madam, just spare the life of this little dog!"
"Tweet," Xia Yuanbao said with gentle eyes, "Dad saw you working hard and always wanted to help you. But the road to study is your own, and I can't help you. I can only go with you. Don’t refuse dad’s kindness, eh?”
He Linlin and Xia Yuanbao laughed, so they ate glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve for many years.
Xia Tianjuan didn't speak. The two of them hugged their knees, leaned against the sofa, sat on the carpet, and looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Xia Yuanbao glared at Xia Juan: "Don't your mother often buy high imitations? Those people also think, how could your mother buy fakes if she is so rich..."
Xia Jiujiu felt a little aggrieved. This was the first time she realized that there seemed to be a slight age gap between her and Jiang Huaian. An old cucumber is still an old cucumber after being painted with green paint. Jianghuai'an is now truly in its green years.
Xia Jiujiu said nothing. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay." She looked up at Xia Yuanbao and said, "Dad, I will work hard."
Xia Juan didn't understand, so Xia Jiujiu smiled: "Only habits can truly change, and what you notice is not called change, it is called the process of change."
When Yang Wei hung up the phone and the dawn light fell on the room, the phone suddenly rang. When Xia Jiujiu saw the name on it, the three words "Jiang Huaian" jumped up.
"I heard that you have to travel around for the art exam, right?"
Xia Jiujiu was a little suspicious: "In this weather, are you going to eat hot pot?"
"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Xia Tianjuan quickly rectified Jiang Huai'an's name: "Brother Jiang is rich and will not fool my sister with fake things."
"You..." After hesitating for a moment, Xia Jiujiu found a way out for Jiang Huaian: "Come to Tsinghua University to bake gluten."
"Jiujiu," Jiang Huaian pulled Xia Jiujiu and asked worriedly: "Tell me, what's wrong with you now?"
Xia Yuanbao was very happy after hearing this. He nodded heavily: "Okay, dad, I will wait for you to provide for dad in the future!"
So she slowly put away the complicated emotions in her heart. She took a deep breath, held Jiang Huaian's hand and said, "Don't think so much, let's eat well!"
She listened to Xia Tianjuan's somewhat tired voice: "But, sister, I don't feel happy."
Xia Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled, then put her bag on her back and walked out. When they arrived outside the gate, Xia Jiujiu saw her car parked at the door. Xia Yuanbao drove the car himself. He Linlin sat in the passenger seat and greeted Xia Jiujiu: "Let's go, our whole family will cheer you on!"
Xia Jiujiu raised her eyes to look at him, and Xia Juan looked out the window with a dazed look: "My parents have always told me to work hard since I was a child, and they also told you not to work hard. Sometimes I don't understand whether to be a human being is to work hard or not. If you don’t work hard, what will it feel like if you work hard?”
Xia Juan didn't understand, so Xia Jiujiu smiled: "Only habits can truly change, and what you notice is not called change, it is called the process of change."
Xia Yuanbao originally wanted to say something, but after He Linlin spoke, he was very spineless and gave up.
"Find your right direction, follow your heart, and then move forward courageously. This is the way to fill your soul."
Xia Juan didn't say anything. Xia Jiujiu took the last sip and put the beer can on the table. She was about to leave when she turned to see her brother's handsome profile.
With that said, he went back to the room at the urging of He Linlin. He drank some wine and was a little excited. He kept praising: "Jiujiu is very powerful. She is indeed my child. I have known that she has been great since she was a child!"
Gu Lan came over, she poked Xia and tweeted: "Let's go."
"I read a passage in a book before. It probably means, what is happiness? Happiness is a process of pursuing the perfection of the soul. Before we are born, we have a complete soul. When we are born, there is something in this soul. Many things have been taken out and scattered in the world. Throughout our lives, we are looking for these fragments of souls. When will we be happy?"
Xia Jiujiu took a sip of beer and said helplessly: "But instead of studying, I turned to painting. I found that I could sit for five hours without moving and paint for a whole day without feeling tired. But not being tired means that I Not working hard? No, I spend so much time painting every day. Isn’t it my own hard work?”
Xia Jiujiu turned her head and watched the fireworks slowly burn out. She kept her hand casually resting on the armrest and said a little shyly: "Put the ring on..."
Xia Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled, then put her bag on her back and walked out. When they arrived outside the gate, Xia Jiujiu saw her car parked at the door. Xia Yuanbao drove the car himself. He Linlin sat in the passenger seat and greeted Xia Jiujiu: "Let's go, our whole family will cheer you on!"
After He Linlin and Xia Yuanbao left, Xia Juan was the only one left in the room.
At that time, Xia Yuanbao had not yet made a fortune, and they were still living in a small town, with a family of four living in a room of more than 70 square meters. Xia Juan is still a little kid who only follows Xia Jiujiu, and Xia Jiujiu is a little kid who likes to make a lot of demands.
The real Jiang Huaian, when he loves someone, his eyes are as hot as the blazing sun. It is definitely not like what he did later, peaceful and doting, with a bit of helplessness.
Jiang Huaian felt a little embarrassed when he said this word: "What I mean is that at our age, you can think of divorce, which is too long-term. Don't normal people think about whether they can survive until marriage? … "
The school begins a holiday one week before the college entrance examination to give students sufficient review time. Xia Jiujiu did not appear in Jiang Huaian's world at all, except for saying good morning and night every day. Until the day before the college entrance examination, Xia Jiujiu suddenly received a call from Jiang Huaian. As soon as Xia Jiujiu pressed the answer button, she heard Jiang Huaian's smiling voice: "Come down."
Xia Jiujiu was a little confused, and Jiang Huaian chuckled: "Tell you, Xia Jiujiu, I will love you forever."
Xia Tianjuan didn't speak. The two of them hugged their knees, leaned against the sofa, sat on the carpet, and looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
In modern society, a marriage proposal between two people like them, without announcing it to anyone, just like children playing house, does not actually have any effect. One day we broke up, and when I think about it, it was just a romance. But only in this way can he soothe his anxious heart.
This realization hurt Xia Jiujiu. She breathed blood in her chest and looked at Jiang Huaian unable to say a word.
Xia Jiujiu straightened up in embarrassment: "Um, dad... mom..."
As she said that, she turned her head and looked at the fireworks outside the floor-to-ceiling skylight. Jiang Huaian was still kneeling on the ground with his eyes lowered, motionless. The ring was in his palm, but he didn't have the courage to ask her again.
At that time, there were not so many fancy things to do during the holidays. Xia Jiujiu saw that other people’s houses had many things to play with during New Year’s Eve, so she told Xia Yuanbao and He Linlin that they also wanted a special New Year’s Eve ceremony.
Gu Lan came over, she poked Xia and tweeted: "Let's go."
Xia Jiujiu took her last sip of glutinous rice ball soup and listened to Xia Juan slowly say: "Sister, will you feel happy if you work hard?"
Xia Juan didn't say anything, and Xia Jiujiu continued: "Just wait, Xia Juan, I will definitely get you into a good school and come back!"
Jiang Huai quietly held her hand, focusing entirely on whether she was okay at the moment.
Xia Jiujiu said nothing. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay." She looked up at Xia Yuanbao and said, "Dad, I will work hard."
Xia Jiujiu responded: "Okay."
Xia Jiujiu smiled and squeezed in. Before the car started, she heard someone knocking on the car window outside. Xia Yuanbao rolled down the window and frowned at the people outside.
"Boss, please spare my life. Boss, please spare my life," Xia Yuanbao used his chubby body to knock down He Linlin and argued, "Madam, just spare the life of this little dog!"
On the day of the exam, Xia Jiujiu got up early and received a message from Jiang Huaian: "Come on!"
Xia Jiujiu raised her eyes to look at him, and Xia Juan looked out the window with a dazed look: "My parents have always told me to work hard since I was a child, and they also told you not to work hard. Sometimes I don't understand whether to be a human being is to work hard or not. If you don’t work hard, what will it feel like if you work hard?”
Yang Wei smiled and said nothing more.
The two hugged each other for a while, then separated, and returned to the sofa. They leaned together, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment and not knowing what to do. Jiang Huaian thought for a long time, took out the paper and said, "Let me tell you a few more questions..."
"Oh, yes."
In modern society, a marriage proposal between two people like them, without announcing it to anyone, just like children playing house, does not actually have any effect. One day we broke up, and when I think about it, it was just a romance. But only in this way can he soothe his anxious heart.
Eating glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve is a unique custom of their family.
The school begins a holiday one week before the college entrance examination to give students sufficient review time. Xia Jiujiu did not appear in Jiang Huaian's world at all, except for saying good morning and night every day. Until the day before the college entrance examination, Xia Jiujiu suddenly received a call from Jiang Huaian. As soon as Xia Jiujiu pressed the answer button, she heard Jiang Huaian's smiling voice: "Come down."
"Sometimes I feel confused, especially when my mother tells you that girls don't have to work hard and just need to live a happy life. Then I think, why can't I live a happy life?"
"Xia Tian Juan, do you think I can get into a good university?"
Xia Tianjuan was convinced by this reason and endured it after thinking about it.
"Um."
Looking at the engagement ring, Xia Jiujiu suddenly felt her head buzzing. She felt severe pain in her head and couldn't help holding her head and taking a step back.
Later, when she and Jiang Huaian were together, Jiang Huaian was like this. Every New Year's Eve, no matter where he was, even in the United States, he would come back to spend the New Year's Eve with her, and then say that I love you.
"I'm very rebellious," Xia Tian Juan said with confusion in her voice, "I just think that I have to live my life happily. This is not your privilege, I should be able to have it too."
"I dreamed that you were my girlfriend." Jiang Huaian said about his dream: "The two of us always go to eat hot pot together. There are many people around, and you are different from now."
Xia Jiujiu grinned, turned and left, heading towards the security check.
Everyone was very busy that year. Xia Jiujiu was wandering around Beijing, and the only one who accompanied her was Gu Lan. The two of them rented a house, and Gu Lan followed her to eat and wait to die.
Xia Jiujiu didn't say anything. She knew that Xia Juan was not looking for recognition.
The two hugged each other for a while, then separated, and returned to the sofa. They leaned together, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment and not knowing what to do. Jiang Huaian thought for a long time, took out the paper and said, "Let me tell you a few more questions..."
Song Zhe finally left the country. The day before leaving the country, Yang Wei called Xia Jiujiu. She didn't say anything, but just chatted with Xia Jiujiu all night. Yang Wei didn't mention Song Zhe a word all night, until finally, near dawn, Xia Jiujiu was in a daze and heard Yang Wei say something.
Jiang Huai'an looked confused, and Xia Jiujiu said seriously: "Stop talking and eat quickly!"
Xia Jiujiu was a little confused, and Jiang Huaian chuckled: "Tell you, Xia Jiujiu, I will love you forever."
The two of them walked into the examination room together. Jiang Huaian looked at the little girl's back and slowly smiled.
The winter vacation has passed by in a hurry, and Xia Jiujiu's joint entrance examination results have also come out. She did well in the test, with scores similar to Gu Lan's, and everyone specially celebrated for this.
The two of them walked into the examination room together. Jiang Huaian looked at the little girl's back and slowly smiled.
She listened to Xia Tianjuan's somewhat tired voice: "But, sister, I don't feel happy."
"Xia Tian Juan, do you think I can get into a good university?"
Xia Jiujiu took her last sip of glutinous rice ball soup and listened to Xia Juan slowly say: "Sister, will you feel happy if you work hard?"
"No matter how busy you are, your affairs are not important." Xia Yuanbao patted his belly: "Dad, I will go through the mountains of swords and the sea of fire for you, even if the company doesn't want it!"
Xia Jiujiu turned around and looked at him with wide eyes, feeling a little incredible. She was obviously still a beautiful little girl, why did she turn into a little old lady
"I heard that you have to travel around for the art exam, right?"
Hearing this, the whole family couldn't help laughing. Xia Jiujiu held the bowl and watched her parents playing tricks.
"So, can you tell me," he turned to look at Xia Jiujiu and said seriously: "Sister, when you work hard, will you feel happy?"
Xia Jiujiu was a little confused, and Jiang Huaian chuckled: "Tell you, Xia Jiujiu, I will love you forever."
"Oh, yes."
He Linlin and Xia Yuanbao laughed, so they ate glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve for many years.
"Xia Tian Juan, do you think I can get into a good university?"
The winter vacation has passed by in a hurry, and Xia Jiujiu's joint entrance examination results have also come out. She did well in the test, with scores similar to Gu Lan's, and everyone specially celebrated for this.
"I... didn't think much about it."
She suddenly started to panic, and images of Jiang Huaian flashed through her mind one after another. She couldn't get out until Jiang Huaian took him to the hot pot restaurant.
The first time he met her reckless look, looking for a vague Jiang Huaian, he felt something was wrong at that time, but he never asked. She had many secrets, and he didn't want to, and he didn't have to ask. She wanted to say it was her business, but if she didn't want to talk about it, that was understandable.
"How can you feel happy if you work hard for a while?" Xia Jiujiu told the truth. She reached forward, took the beer from the coffee table, opened the lid, and heard the sound of "pop" of gas exploding. She shared a bottle of Xia Juan. , slowly said: "A temporary effort will only make you feel extremely painful."
At that time, Xia Yuanbao had not yet made a fortune, and they were still living in a small town, with a family of four living in a room of more than 70 square meters. Xia Juan is still a little kid who only follows Xia Jiujiu, and Xia Jiujiu is a little kid who likes to make a lot of demands.
The family was talking while eating, and they were all joking. Xia Yuanbao joked about the ring on Xia Jiujiu's hand: "This ring can't be made of zircon, it looks really sparkling."
"Xia Yuanbao!"
Xia Jiujiu was a little confused, and Jiang Huaian chuckled: "Tell you, Xia Jiujiu, I will love you forever."
