Life is more than just living

Chen Xu sent Cheng Jiaojiao back to the school gate and couldn't help but tell her: "Jiaojiao, I can keep your secret for the time being, but you don't have to shoulder everything by yourself. If you feel troubled or sad, communicate with your parents in time. If you really can't If you want to talk to your parents, you can also come to me, if you want." Cheng Jiaojiao suddenly hugged Chen Xu, and Chen Xu froze. Cheng Jiaojiao whispered: "Thank you, Sister Xu, I like you so much, and your heart is even more beautiful!" After saying that, she ran into the campus.

Chen Xu never expected that this chance encounter would lead to a lasting friendship. The next day, Zhang Chang came to see Lin Zhiyuan again. Now both of them are unemployed at home. Lin Zhiyuan resigned from his position in Chenggong Construction Company to concentrate on planning the next step. When he was growing up, he directly said to Chen Xu: "Chen Xu, yesterday my girl kept praising you when she came home. She was so excited. Can you please pick her up again today?" Before Chen Xu could answer, Lin Zhiyuan smiled, "You How can this guy be so righteous when he instructs my sister?" Changchun also laughed, "What's the relationship between us? Your sister is also my sister!" Lin Zhiyuan quickly said seriously: "Shameless! Don't get too close! There's that guy Liu Jingsheng following you. It's annoying enough that I'm fighting over my sister, so don't add to it. By the way, Xiaoxu cooks dinner every day at our house. Who will cook when you go to pick up your child?" Chang Chang said quickly: "I can cook. You try my craftsmanship." Lin Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at him, "You are not qualified and irresponsible as a father! How can you pass it on to others?" Chang Gong smiled bitterly, "The child is older and has his own ideas. Face her. , sometimes I feel powerless. This is the generation gap! As long as it is not a big issue of principle, let her do it! When I went to pick up my child for self-study last night, the parent of a classmate in Jiaojiao’s class said that Jiaojiao would be out of school in the afternoon. I was stopped by a boy's parents at the school gate and humiliated in public. It was Chen Xu and Han Yidao who came to rescue me. I was very nervous at the time, fearing that my child would be affected by this incident. Unexpectedly, the child was jumping up and down when he came out. She has been sharing her love for Chen Xu with me. At first, I thought the child was forcing a smile because she was afraid of me, but I didn’t expect that the child would sing in the bath at night. When I sent her to school this morning, she even said to me that if It would have been better if I met Sister Xu earlier. That’s why I shamelessly asked Chen Xu to help me pick up the child again. After all, during this special period, the child is not only under academic pressure, but also has to bear the negative impact of her parents’ bad reputation. There is nothing I can do about it.”

It was almost time for school to end, and Chen Xu took the keys to the car that grew up and went out. Han Yidao was not coming back from Beicheng today, so Gao Shan accompanied her. Today, Saturday, Chen Xu prepared the meals in advance and did not let him do anything about it. She said that if she needed to pick up Jiaojiao from Monday to Friday, they would have to prepare dinner themselves because there was not enough time.

Lin Zhiyuan and Chang Chang went to Chen Xu's house for dinner. Growing up and eating delicious food, he said sincerely: "This kid Chen Xu is really good! He doesn't grow crooked even if he lives in such an environment!" Lin Zhiyuan paused before saying: "On the one hand, this kid has a pure heart, on the other hand My mother put a lot of effort into cultivating her." Growing up, I knew the relationship between Teacher Lin and Chen Xu. The scene where Chen Xu cried heartbreakingly at Teacher Lin's funeral is still vivid in my mind. Growing up also lamented, "Sometimes the fate of people is very strange. There are millions of people in Longcheng, and there are 600,000 or 700,000 people in Beicheng. But we people will always meet each other when we go around." Lin Zhiyuan finished his meal and sighed. He said in a tone: "Yes, fate is very wonderful. Some are good and some are bad! What do you think about fate?" Cheng Cheng thought for a while and said: "Since meeting is fate, what is the difference between good and evil? , we will always meet. I haven’t read many books, I don’t want to think deeply, and I’m not that sentimental. Now, I can accept all encounters, and I think that is fate. I am a simple-minded person, and I don’t want to be so sentimental. You will never regret what you have done; you can be normal with the people you meet, no matter how good or bad you are. When you were young, you wanted to be a hero, but after experiencing many things, you discovered that many things may be destined. Otherwise, many cases will not be explained. It should come The disaster will always come, and all we can do is to do our best and obey fate!" Lin Zhiyuan looked at Growth with incredible eyes, "So negative? It seems that I don't know you well enough. I thought you would believe that man can conquer nature!" Growth glanced at Lin Zhiyuan glanced at him, "What about you? Do you believe in the law, do you believe that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, or do you believe in cause and effect?" Lin Zhiyuan also fell into deep thought for a moment.

When Cheng Jiaojiao saw Chen Xu, she was so happy that she first covered her mouth, and then jumped up with excitement. Chen Xu was also infected by Cheng Jiaojiao's enthusiasm. She happily asked what would you like to eat today? Cheng Jiaojiao pointed to the ramen shop next to her and said, "Let's go eat ramen. They're very fast. And there aren't many people eating noodles at this time. Most students have had enough. We can have a conversation there." Gao Shan Instead of sitting at the same table with them, I sat at another table and ordered a bowl of noodles. Cheng Jiaojiao asked mischievously: "Sister, why did you change another driver? Was that your boyfriend yesterday? Why didn't he accompany you today?" Chen Xu smiled, "My boyfriend is busy with work today. I didn’t go back to Longcheng because of the matter. My driving skills are very average. On a road like school, the traffic flow is peak when school is over, so I can’t drive. I had to hire another driver." Jiaojiao is still a child, so this can only be said to her.

Cheng Jiaojiao grinned when she heard this, "Sister Xu, you are so interesting! Yesterday you said that you and my aunt were classmates, right? You must have been very good friends at that time!" Chen Xu shook his head, "At that time we They are just ordinary classmates. We have only been friends for the past two years." Cheng Jiaojiao looked at Chen Xu in confusion. Chen Xu explained: "At that time, Cheng Baobao was young. When she first entered elementary school, she was only five years old, and I was already ten years old. For us at that time, the huge age gap and different experiences led to our There is no way to make friends, and due to personal reasons, I didn’t have any good friends from elementary school to graduation from college.”

Cheng Jiaojiao looked in disbelief, "How could this happen? I think you have a very good personality, and many people will definitely like you! Is it because you are so good that you have no friends?" Chen Xu shook his head, "The reason why no one likes me may be my own fault. At that time, my character may not be good enough, because I was poor, which made me feel low self-esteem. On the other hand, I didn't have time to make friends with others."

While they were talking, the waiter brought out two bowls of noodles and two plates of mixed side dishes. Cheng Jiaojiao still wanted to talk, but Chen Xu smiled, "It's hard to eat and sleep. Let's talk after dinner!"

After finishing his meal, Chen Xu looked at the time and saw that there was still half an hour left. The waiter came to collect the bowls. Chen Xu said to the waiter gently: "Beauty, it's still half an hour before the children go to self-study. It's a bit cold outside. Can we sit here for a while?" The waiter said yes, and Chen Xu smiled and expressed his thanks. .

Cheng Jiaojiao looked like a little fan girl, "Sister Xu, you are so gentle in your words!" Chen Xu smiled again, "You! You are still a child after all. As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face, so sometimes the other person's It’s also partly about your attitude.”

Cheng Jiaojiao looked at Chen Xu and said, "Sister Xu, I feel like we hit it off right away! Hehe, I like you so much!" Cheng Jiaojiao did not hesitate to express her love. Chen Xu smiled, "I also like your sunny and cheerful attitude!" Cheng Jiaojiao covered her face and giggled for a while, then suddenly said, "Does this count as business bragging between us?" Chen Xu suddenly laughed, and she reached out and pinched She pinched her face into a cute little face and said, "Jiaojiao, you are so cute! I like you too! Why do I think your cuteness is as cute as a grown-up baby!"

Cheng Jiaojiao looked flattered, "Thank you for liking me. Thank you for liking my old aunt. Cheng Yanan and I liked to play with her when we were young, but later she went to college and didn't come back much. When she graduates from college , we are in high school and junior high school again. In addition, he and my uncle are married and have become our elders, so it feels very strange to get along. "

Chen Xu smiled and said: "Your old aunt still has the temper of a child and is just as cute. But now that she is pregnant with the baby, she may not care about playing with you little girls."

Cheng Jiaojiao felt a little melancholy, "Sister Xu, why do you think people have to grow up? When I was a child, I looked forward to growing up, but now I realize that when I grow up, I have so many troubles that I have to face. People who used to have a good relationship , suddenly became unfamiliar and I felt very uncomfortable! I won’t talk about my old aunt, let’s call her Ya Nan: she is two years older than me, and we almost grew up together. But in the past two years, I have ignored her I have. Ever since she found out that her parents were divorced, her personality has become very different. I tried to persuade her once, but she hated me for ignoring me!" Chen Xu asked with interest: "Are you How did you persuade her?" Cheng Jiaojiao took a long breath and said, "I told her: What does it matter whether your parents divorce or not? Your father is still your father, your mother is still your mother, it's just that there is no piece of paper. ! They still love you all the same! Whether to divorce or not is an adult's business. They have already taken great care of your feelings by not leaving home for your divorce. You can't force adults to get back together for you! Then there will be nothing more."

Chen Xu looked at Cheng Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, what you said is true and makes sense. However, your cousin is unwilling to accept that fact, but that is her business. Let her figure it out later. That's fine. You don't need to affect your mood for other people or other things. Different stages of life will have different scenery and different friends." Cheng Jiaojiao thought for a while and nodded to express her approval of Chen Xu's statement.

Chen Xu looked at the time and said, I'll take you back to school. Cheng Jiaojiao held Chen Xu's arm and said familiarly: "Sister, I will have a half-day holiday tomorrow afternoon." Chen Xu turned to look at her, waiting for the next step. Cheng Jiaojiao touched her nose and said with some embarrassment: "I usually go home and take a nap during my half-day holiday on Sundays... Well, are you free tomorrow?" As they spoke, the two people crossed the street. When they arrived at the school gate, Chen Xu asked her, "How do you want to arrange your half-day vacation tomorrow? Do you want to be with me?" Cheng Jiaojiao smiled: "Okay? I know I'm a bit too familiar. Hehe, but I like it. Listening to you and talking to you makes me feel better.”

Chen Xu said to Cheng Jiaojiao: "Go in first and come to my house for lunch tomorrow! I will prepare meals at home and ask your father to take you there."

When Cheng Jiaojiao heard this, she smiled from ear to ear and jumped into the school gate. At this time, the boy named Ren Lida chased after him and shouted: "Cheng Jiaojiao, wait a moment! Listen to me!" When Chen Xu saw this, he wanted to rush into the school gate, but was stopped by the security guard. Chen Xu was very angry. There were so many people watching yesterday, why didn’t you come forward? At this time, Cheng Jiaojiao turned her head and stretched out a hand to stop Ren Lida from approaching, "Stop! Don't come close to me! Don't talk to me either!" Ren Lida looked at Cheng Jiaojiao hurt, but Cheng Jiaojiao remained unmoved. "I have told the teacher about your mother's attitude, so the teacher agreed to adjust my seat. Please don't give your mother any more reasons to hurt me, please!" He said, waving to Chen Xu, and then ran towards the teaching building. Go, leaving Ren Lida standing there blankly.

Chen Xu smiled and looked at Jiaojiao's back until the child entered the teaching building and disappeared. Gao Shan stood behind Chen Xu and teased: "You have been watching for so long, and you are still reluctant to leave?" Chen Xu and Gao Shan went back together, still unfinished, "This kid from the Chengju family is so cute." Gao Shan was helpless, "You are so stupid My close sister is online. But why did you get yourself into this?"
