I want to be a scumbag [rebirth]
Chapter 22
In the previous life, Joan's father died of severe pneumonia. Apart from years of hard work, there was also a crucial beginning.
It was Joan's first winter vacation when he entered the High School Attached to the City of Shakespeare. The county held a temple fair by the river every year before the Chinese New Year.In the last life, in order to earn more money, Qiao An's father also set up a stall in the temple fair to sell sugar paintings.As a result, something happened and he was pushed into the Punan River.The river water in winter was icy cold. After Father Qiao was fished up, he didn't even go to the hospital. He only went home to rest in bed for a day or two, and then went back to busy work.The cold air entered the body, and it was not well recuperated, so the body was not very good afterwards.
It was because of a cold that caused severe pneumonia, and finally died of heart failure.
Qiao An went back to prevent Qiao's father from falling into the water in the previous life.
Sitting in the bus, I went back to Guaizigou.
When I arrived at my yard, it was already dark, and I was not able to walk in calmly like before.He lingered at the gate of the yard for a long time, until a hoarse voice stopped him: "Xiao An, are you back?"
Looking behind him, he saw Father Qiao walking forward cheerfully.
"Father." Joan's voice was trembling and nervous. After so many years, seeing Qiao's father in real life again, Joan couldn't control his emotions all of a sudden.
He hugged Joan into his arms and patted him on the back with his big hands: "Okay, I haven't seen Dad for a long time, I miss Dad."
Sucking his nose, he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, he was the soul of a 30-year-old man, and he felt ashamed when he shed tears.
"Why did you come home so late? Isn't the school on holiday?" Regardless of Qiao Xin's deliberate instigation in the previous life, Qiao's father never neglected his care for Qiao An.
"Something else." Joan said vaguely.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Father Qiao didn't ask any more questions, but just patted Joan on the shoulder and pushed open the gate of the yard to take him in: "I'm just worried that you go to school in the city too hard, and you can't take care of yourself."
Entering the room, Mother Qiao just prepared the food on the table, and when she saw Qiao An, she immediately rushed over excitedly: "You child, why did you come back so soon?"
Holding Joan's hand, he immediately scolded softly: "It's so cold, why don't you wear gloves?"
"..." Joan turned to his father for help.
Qiao's father smiled and interrupted Qiao's mother's nagging: "Okay, the child finally came back, are we going to drive him away again?" As for the fact that Qiao An didn't come home for a semester, Qiao's father only heard from Qiao's mother. Know a little bit.
Qiao's mother was a little embarrassed. Although Qiao's father was away for many years, it was still Qiao's father who had the final say in this family.
"Xiao An, it was my mother who spoke too harshly before, but do you also have the heart to not go home for so long?" Qiao's mother said guiltily.
Joan was vague: "The schoolwork is very heavy, I just want to study hard."
"Yes, yes, it's right to study hard. Our family can only count on you to be successful." Qiao's mother nodded again and again, talking about Qiao Xin: "Your sister dropped out of school a while ago and found a job in the county. It’s a job with a good salary.”
"... Oh." Qiao Xin dropped out of school just like in her previous life. She originally studied fashion design at a vocational high school in the county.It sounds like a fashion design, but in fact, I will just go to work in a factory in the future.After studying for two years, I didn't want to miss it anymore, so I dropped out of school and found a job.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here soon, Qiao Xin's cheerful voice sounded, and seemed to be in a good mood: "I brought a roast chicken back, let's add some food tonight."
When I bumped into Qiao An, my face immediately turned cold, faster than changing my face: "Hey, isn't this our top student, finally willing to come back?"
Before Qiao An could speak, Father Qiao lowered his face unhappily: "Xiaoxin, what are you talking about? That's your brother, how can you talk like that?"
Qiao's father had the majesty of Qiao's father, and Qiao Xin did not dare to be too presumptuous. She curled her lips and put the lunch box in her hand on the table.
Mother Qiao was happy in her heart, but she still shook her head and reprimanded: "Xiaoxin, I know you are filial. But you should keep the money you earn for yourself. When you get married, you can use it as a dowry."
Qiao Xin pouted: "Mom, I'm still young, why don't I marry or not? Besides, I can't finish these things."
Qiao Xin didn't explain it clearly, but Qiao An heard the words, who can't finish eating?
…………
After staying at home for two days, I heard Qiao's father mention going to the temple fair to sell sugar paintings.
"When I was working outside, a fellow worker was good at sugar painting, and he taught me for a while. I want to try it, anyway, all I need is to cook a pot of sugar syrup."
Joan immediately objected: "Dad, sugar painting can't be done in a day or two, it's a technical job."
"Xiao'an, it won't be difficult for Dad. The simplest bunnies are fine. When the workers go to sell sugar paintings at night, I will follow them. It will definitely work."
"dad……"
"Okay, why don't Xiao An go to the temple fair with Dad to have fun, and when I make money, I'll buy you delicious food."
Once Father Qiao made a decision, it was difficult to be shaken and changed.Qiao An also thought about it, but he really couldn't do it, so he went to the temple fair with Father Qiao, always paying attention to emergencies.
The temple fair had to be early to snatch the stalls. Father Qiao got up in the middle of the night and boiled a pot of syrup. When Qiao An got up, he tied the pot of syrup to the back seat of the bicycle, and the two walked to the place where the temple fair was held in the county.
There were already a few stalls spread out, and Qiao's father picked a place near the river: "Xiao'an, the scenery here is good, and there should be many customers."
"Father, it's too cold by the river. We'd better choose a place close to the entrance of the temple fair. The business will be good there." Even if Father Qiao can't be prevented from coming to the temple fair, as long as it's not by the river...
Father Qiao thought about it seriously: "That's fine."
So, not far from the entrance of the temple fair, he set up a wooden box with stools, put a pot on the wooden box, and an operating table for making sugar paintings.
"Xiao An, go play elsewhere by yourself, Dad doesn't need your help here."
Qiao An is still worried. Although this place is far away from the river, he doesn't know the reason why Qiao's father fell into the water in the previous life. He only knows that there was a dispute between the people who attended the temple fair and accidentally pushed him into the river. The scene was chaotic , Even the perpetrators were not caught.
"It's okay, I'll be here with you." Qiao An shook her head firmly, no matter what Qiao's father said, she just didn't leave.
"Our Xiaoan has become so sensible now." Qiao's father laughed, his dark face was full of wrinkles.
Sitting next to Father Qiao for a while, Qiao An accidentally glanced towards the entrance of the temple fair, and saw a familiar figure, that is... Qiao Xin?
Qiao's mother said that Qiao Xin went to work early in the morning, why did she appear here?
Qiao Xin was wearing a fiery red coat, very conspicuous in the crowd.
Next to the temple fair was a small park. Qiao Xin walked into the park and walked into a small forest, where there happened to be a rockery.A tall man was already waiting beside the rockery, and when Qiao Xin approached, the man couldn't wait to hug her, pinned her down on the rockery, and entangled each other.
Qiao An didn't dare to get too close, but hid behind a tree a little far away. Is that Qiao Xin's boyfriend?Didn't Zhang Qi see Qiao Xin with a short and old man last week?
Qiao Xin was a little out of breath from being kissed, and slapped the man on the back several times before being let go, her face was already blushing.He blamed: "Every time we meet, I'm in a hurry."
"Honey, it's not because you're so tempting." The man hugged Qiao Xin and raised his arms.
Only now did Qiao An see the man's side face clearly, wasn't he the boyfriend who was with Qiao Xin in the previous life and occupied the magpie's nest?
"Don't, don't mess around." Qiao Xin stopped the man's messy hands: "Let me tell you, I might... be pregnant."
Although Qiao Xin's words were very soft, he still heard those two words clearly, and his head buzzed instantly.In the last life, until Qiao An was imprisoned, Qiao Xin never married.No one could have imagined that Qiao Xin would be pregnant at such a young age.
The man also seemed to be frightened and forced: "I'm... Pregnant, who's?"
This is Qiao Xin's distress: "I don't know who it is. Some time ago, I was with you and that old man..."
Before Qiao Xin could finish speaking, the man interrupted and said, "Whether it belongs to me or that old man's, this child cannot be kept."
"Why?" Maybe it's due to motherhood. Even though Qiao Xin knew that the child could not be kept, she couldn't help but imagine what a lively and lovely child she would give birth to after becoming a mother.
"You're not yet an adult!" The man gritted his teeth: "If this is known, both I and the old man will have to go to jail. Do you want to watch us go to jail?"
"When you slept with me, why didn't you think that I was underage?" Qiao Xin inherited Qiao's mother's aggressiveness, and she was definitely not a character who would take advantage of her mouth.
"You didn't tell me that you were underage!" The man reached this point, all he wanted was to distance himself from the relationship: "When I first met you, you were dressed...so mature, how could I have thought that you were underage?" ah."
"Wang Haoyu, are you still a man? Do you feel responsible!" Qiao Xin was so angry that he hit Wang Haoyu with the bag in his hand, turned around and wanted to leave.
Wang Haoyu was quick-witted, and then he thought that although this piece of fat was hot, it was still chewy.He hugged Qiao Xin from behind with both hands, and apologized again and again: "Baby, don't be angry, I just said the wrong thing in a moment of impatience, I love you so much, why didn't I take responsibility?"
Qiao Xin wiped her eyes with her hands, feeling aggrieved: "Then tell me, what should I do about this?"
"Don't you want a new mobile phone?" Wang Haoyu asked her after thinking about it.
"That's right," Qiao Xin regained consciousness immediately, "You want to buy it for me?"
Wang Haoyu was helpless: "I want to buy it for you, but where do I get the money?"
"Then what nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Xin almost rolled his eyes.
"Baby, I have no money, but that old man has money. Now that you are pregnant with his child, how dare he give you the money?" Qiao An stood behind the shade of a tree, listening to Wang Haoyu's love for Qiao Xin in shock. A diabolical plan.
He asked Qiao Xin to bite to death that the child belonged to that man, and then asked the man to give him money.After the money is in hand, create an accident and abort the child.
"This child... really don't want it?" Qiao Xin still hesitated.
"Hey, my fool, don't say you're underage. Before the child is born, you can say whoever it is. After the birth, won't it be clear after the DNA test?"
Qiao Xin was thoughtful, and felt that what Wang Haoyu said was not unreasonable.
"Okay, don't think too much, I'm here for everything." Wang Haoyu put his arms around Qiao Xin's shoulders, and slowly left the grove. A cash cow.
After the figures of the two could no longer be seen, Qiao An slowly walked out from behind the shadow of the tree, took a deep breath, and squeezed his hands tightly.
Why?Although his memory was very vague, he clearly remembered that Qiao Xin was very kind to him when he was very young.When Qiao's mother went to work in the field, Qiao Xin took him wherever she went.Only later, almost overnight, Qiao Xin's whole person changed.No longer smiling at him gently, always resisting Joan like a hedgehog.What she said was true and false, no one knew what Qiao Xin was doing.
Just like Qiao Xin is pregnant, the family probably doesn't even know that Qiao Xin has a boyfriend.
I thought all the way back to the temple fair, and saw Father Qiao's booth, and the wooden box syrup pot was still there, but Father Qiao was nowhere to be seen.Joan ran two steps forward nervously, looked around, but didn't see Father Qiao.
"Uncle, have you seen my dad? He sells sugar paintings here." Joan asked while grabbing the man selling candied haws next to him.
"Oh, he said he was in a hurry to urinate and walked towards the river." The man pointed in the direction.
Qiao An secretly thought something was wrong, and hurried to the river.From a distance, I saw Father Qiao being grabbed by the collar by a man. The man looked rich and powerful, and pointed at Father Qiao's nose and cursed fiercely.Father Qiao was grabbed by the collar by the man, and he leaned back, with the Punan River behind him.
"Dad, be careful!" Joan shouted, running over quickly.
The man pushed Father Qiao and let go of his collar. Father Qiao lost his support and leaned back like weightless.Joan only had time to run behind Father Qiao and push his body forward, but because of inertia, he fell into the water with a "plop-" sound.
The icy river water quickly submerged his head and filled his nostrils.Joan had learned to swim before, so he tried to relax his body and float on the water.Unexpectedly, the cotton jacket on his body became extremely heavy after drinking water, hindering his movements.
Thousands of calculations were made, but only the big padded jacket he put on before going out because he was afraid of the cold was missed.
On the shore, Qiao's father realized that it was Joan who fell into the water, his face changed drastically, and he jumped into the river too.But Qiao's father couldn't swim, so he could only swallow the river water and shouted, "Help!" '
Hearing Qiao's father calling for help not far away, he swam towards him regardless of his heavy padded jacket.
Grab Father Qiao's hand and let him wrap it around his body. Father Qiao's weight is twice that of Joan's, and with the water-absorbed padded jacket, Joan can't move in the water.
"Dad, calm down and relax your body."
"Xiao An, when did you know how to swim?" At the critical moment, Qiao's father's focus was a bit ironic.
Qiao An learned to swim when she was an adult, so Father Qiao naturally didn't know: "Dad, don't talk, I'll take you ashore first."
The two were some distance away from the shore, and the river was icy cold, quickly consuming his physical strength: "Help—" Joan shouted tentatively.
A wave of the river rolled around him, and before he could turn his head, a strong arm wrapped around his waist, letting Joan's back rest on his chest, and a deep, panting voice sounded in his ears: "Do not talk."
At this time, Tao Xiyan also swam to Qiao An, and said to Qiao An, "Give your father to me."
Qiao An immediately let go, and Tao Xiyan circled Father Qiao's neck and swam back vigorously.Father Qiao was jumping around in panic, Tao Xiyan drank several sips of water, and couldn't help frowning: "Uncle, don't move around, or we will both have to confess here."
When Father Qiao heard this, he didn't dare to move casually.
And Qiao An was surrounded by Tang Huai. Qiao An knew water, but when he saved Qiao's father just now, he had spent a lot of energy, and his hands and feet were a little numb due to the freezing of the river.He could only rely on Tang Huai's chest, paddling lightly with his feet, to minimize Tang Huai's burden.
Tang Huai took Qiao An to swim to the shore, and the crowd on the shore pulled Qiao An up.
When being carried into the ambulance, Qiao An was only left with a vague consciousness, as if his whole body had been drained of strength, his eyelids were weakly opened, and he looked at Tang Huai's wet hair on his forehead, and the water dripping down his chin. It dripped on his face, but he didn't feel how cold it was.
After being sent to the hospital, Joan developed a high fever, suffered from slight frostbite, and was unconscious.
Father Qiao was also sent to the hospital. He was still conscious. After the doctor's examination, he was fine, so he was sent home first to change his clothes.
…………
"I'm fine." Unable to withstand Tao Xiyan's tough attitude, Tang Huai could only lie on the hospital bed, waiting for the doctor to perform a physical examination on him.As soon as he finished saying this, he couldn't help but sneezed, and Tao Xiyan immediately said, "Look".
"Tang Huai, don't you think it's a coincidence that we meet that elementary school boy every time we come here? Also," Tao Xiyan looked at him critically, "Based on what I know about you , you shouldn’t be the kind of person who will do what is right.”
To be honest, Tao Xiyan couldn't help hesitating when he heard someone falling into the water.He is definitely not a kind person who is selfless and dedicated. During the few seconds of thinking, the first thing he thought of was that the risk was a bit high, and he might not be able to make it.
Unexpectedly, Tang Huai stepped forward with his long legs, rushed towards the falling water point without hesitation, jumped into the river, and swam towards the drowning person.Tao Xiyan had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the hero, and jumped into the river to save others.
It wasn't until he swam near the person who fell into the water that he realized that the person who fell into the water was actually Joan.
Tang Huai changed into dry clothes, but his hair was not completely dry. A few strands of hair hung on his forehead, and he looked aside, not going to talk to Tao Xiyan.
Tao Xiyan was very blind and persevering: "Brother, did you find out that it was Qiao An who fell into the water after you rescued someone, or did you fall into the water because you saw Qiao An fall?"
"Does it matter?" Tang Huai said weakly.
"Of course it has something to do with it." Tao Xiyan nodded affirmatively: "This can prove that my good brother is naturally warm-hearted or he will sacrifice himself for others under certain conditions!"
Tang Huai looked away, and looked at Tao Xiyan with a pair of slightly raised eyes with interest: "Am I not warm enough for you?"
"Don't." Tao Xiyan solemnly raised a palm: "Don't try to confuse my mind with your abused beauty, you have always been colder than Antarctica to me."
Tang Huai pursed his lips: "Okay."
"So..." Tao Xiyan didn't have time to ask, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, Lu Jiayan's hair was messy, and there were still wet tears on his pale cheeks: "Tang Huai, Tang Huai! How are you? "
He rushed to Tang Huai's hospital bed, grabbed Tang Huai's arm mournfully, and asked worriedly.
Tang Huai calmly pulled his arm out of Lu Jiayan's hand: "As you can see."
His reaction was too cold, making Lu Jiayan's crying voice choke in his throat, unable to spit it out, unable to swallow it, and for a while, he was most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
"Ahem——" Tao Xiyan coughed twice, breaking the frightening atmosphere: "Tang Huai is a monster, he doesn't die so easily, Jiayan, don't worry."
Lu Jiayan calmed down, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded: "This is the best."
Tao Xiyan was a little surprised. According to the nature of his fanaticism towards Lu Jiayan, if he commented on Tang Huai in this way, he would definitely face Miss Lu's stares and rebuttals.Unexpectedly, she only responded flatly, which is really weird.
"Xiyan, I have something I want to say to Tang Huai alone, is that okay?"
"……Fine."
After Tao Xiyan left and closed the door for them, Lu Jiayan stared at Tang Huai's face and did not speak for a long time.
Tang Huai was not in a hurry to speak, and just stared at the ceiling with his eyes empty, as if Lu Jiayan didn't exist.
"Tang Huai, I'll go abroad to study with you, okay?" Lu Jiayan finally spoke, cautiously, eagerly: "Just go to my brother's school. He is the focus of attention in the Chinese circle there. If you have the top-level contacts, you can let my brother introduce his network to you..."
Since ancient times, there is an old saying that there are people in the court who are easy to handle, which shows how important connections are.Especially in the domestic situation, the phenomenon of cliques is even more serious.Sometimes two people who seem to be in the same circle in private don't expect them to be in the same circle.Offending one of them means that the entire network of relationships behind it will say 'no' to you.
Before Lu Jiayan was in the circle, he didn't pay much attention to this truth.But now, she knew what Tang Huai needed most.In the previous life, she couldn't see clearly, she only knew that she followed Tang Huai nonchalantly, as long as she was like a piece of gum, he couldn't get rid of her.
But that was the wrong way after all, Tang Huai always ignored her, and after she took the extreme method, he would rather hurt her both than give in.
Once again, she is not reconciled, how can she be reconciled.When she knew that she was reborn, she was ecstatic in her heart, and her subconscious thought was that God would help her after all, Tang Huai, she would definitely be able to hold him firmly this time.
"If you're worried about Uncle Tang, I can go and talk to him. As long as Uncle Tang agrees, Aunt Tang will definitely have no objections. You can also entrust someone to get a visa for going abroad, although the school of my brother is a bit difficult to apply for. , but with your grades, you can definitely get an offer..."
"Jiayan." Tang Huai finally spoke, interrupting Lu Jiayan's chatter, with a tired voice: "I won't go abroad."
"Why?" Lu Jiayan didn't understand. In his last life, Tang Huai failed to go abroad by mistake. In this life, Lu Jiayan was sure to help him clear the obstacles, but he told himself that he didn't want to go abroad.
"I'm a little tired." Tang Huai closed his eyes, obviously unwilling to answer.
"Tang Huai, you're just thinking about it now." After a few seconds of silence, Lu Jiayan still said unwillingly: "Take a good rest for a few days, and then think about it when you feel refreshed. Going abroad is very beneficial for you. And there is no harm, and what I said can definitely be done.”
When Qiao An woke up, she had a splitting headache, her eyes were so sore that she couldn't open them at all, and it took a lot of effort to narrow her eyes.There are also several hospital beds around, and several patients are lying there.
Seeing Joan woke up, someone came over with concern and asked, "Son, are you awake?"
Joan really wanted to answer, but her throat was on fire and she couldn't make a sound at all.
"Don't move around, lie down." The man pressed Joan's shoulder with his hand, preventing him from moving.
After lying on the hospital bed for a long time, the doctor came to check: "There is nothing serious about the body. After two days of observation, I can consider leaving the hospital."
Joan pointed to his throat, and the doctor came over knowingly: "Oh, it's normal that your throat can't make a sound. After you fell into the water, the river water poured into your throat and hurt your vocal cords. Pay attention to rest, don't force your voice, and you will soon be able to recover."
Joan nodded, the doctor remembered something, and said: "By the way, if your family members come, remember to inform them that your hospitalization fee needs to be paid. If you don't pay the hospitalization fee, you can't be discharged from the hospital."
Hospitalization fees... Joan really wanted to ask, how is his father doing?Tang Huai and Tao Xiyan also rescued him, are they alright?But the doctor was in a hurry, and after checking Joan, he left the ward.
After a while, when it was time for lunch, the family members in the next bed went to buy food, and Joan was lying alone on the bed.
"Are you awake?" A voice sounded from the side of the bed, and he turned his head. He didn't even know when Tang Huai was standing beside him.
He frowned almost inaudibly, but Tang Huai was his savior no matter what.Although he didn't want to owe Tang Huai anything he owed anyone, but what happened has become an indelible fact.
Tang Huai was wearing a white t-shirt and a light gray cardigan outside, which was loosely worn on his body, and his complexion didn't seem very good.
He raised his finger and pointed to his throat, indicating that he could not speak.At the same time, he made a gesture of writing and asked if he could use it.
Tang Huai understood what he meant, looked around, and actually took the medical record book that the doctor had left by the bedside, and handed it to him with a pen on the blank back.
Joan hesitated, this is not good...
"Write." Tang Huai ordered briefly.
Swish and write on the paper: "Why did you save me?"
Tang Huai's beautiful lips raised evilly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Do you think I saved you because it was you?"
Qiao An shook his head reflexively. Until now, he still had no unrealistic thoughts about Tang Huai.
"Then is it interesting for you to ask this question?"
Joan thought for a while, crossed out the word 'I', and wrote the word 'person', which became 'Why did you save people? '
Well, he had to ask for an answer.
"I'm the successor of socialism. If I save someone on the way, do I still have to ask why?" There was no emotion in Tang Huai's eyes, as if it was as simple as accidentally saving a cat or dog: "If there are so many why, I'm afraid a hundred thousand whys are not enough for you to ask."
Qiao An nodded, accepting Tang Huai's words: "Thank you."
Then wrote another sentence: "I will repay you."
Tang Huai looked at the last sentence he wrote, put his hand on his chin, and stared carefully for a while: "Really?"
Looking at the words he wrote, Joan realized that he was asking the last sentence.He wondered why he wanted to repay him. In his previous life, he wanted to repay a sentence he said, and the subsequent things became as unclear as rolling a ball of yarn.
Quickly crossed out the last sentence with a pen, and seeing Qiao An's actions, Tang Huai couldn't help but "chih—": "Not sincere."
Joan's eyes widened: Can sincerity be eaten?Can sincerity be exchanged for early knowledge?Sincerity it is a wool!
"Excuse me, are you..." The suspicious figure remembered not far away, and Qiao An followed the sound and looked over.Seeing Qiao Xin standing on his bed, staring straight at Tang Huai.
Tang Huai turned his head and glanced at Qiao Xin, but did not answer. The arrogance in his eyes told Qiao An that he was too lazy to answer.
Without hearing the answer from Tang Huai, Qiao Xin turned her head and smiled softly: "Qiao An, is this your classmate? Why have I never seen it before?"
Compared with Tang Huai's appearance, Qiao Xin's warm appearance like a spring breeze made Qiao An even more numb.
Pointing to his own throat, he waved his hand to show that he couldn't make a sound.
Qiao Xin looked at Qiao An suspiciously, but couldn't show anything on his face, and extended his hand to Tang Huai generously: "Hello, I am Qiao An's sister, Qiao Xin."
At this time, Tang Huai stretched out his hand lazily, and lightly touched Qiao Xin's hand with his fingertips: "Hello."
"Thank you for coming to see my brother. I think you and him must be very good friends." Qiao Xin stood beside Tang Huai naturally, looking at Tang Huai, wishing to put him in her eyes.
"You rest, I'm leaving first." Throwing a sentence to Qiao An, then nodded to Qiao Xin, and turned and left without talking nonsense.
After watching Tang Huai's back disappear into the corner, Qiao Xin looked back in a little disappointment, and when she looked at Qiao An again, she didn't have the gentleness just now.But he still suppressed his temper and said calmly to Qiao An: "This is the chicken soup that my mother asked me to bring. Do you want to drink it?"
Joan, who had been hungry for a while, nodded.
Putting the chicken soup tin lunch box on the bedside table, he glanced at the paper in Joan's hand, snatched it before Joan had time to react, read it quickly, and raised his head happily: "That person is the one who saved you? "
Suspicious of Qiao Xin's reaction, Qiao An nodded expressionlessly.
Qiao Xin rolled her eyes, and threw the paper back into Qiao An's hand with the backing board: "You eat, I'll go first." After speaking, the high heels on her feet kicked away on the floor tiles.
Qiao An was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something.In the previous life, Qiao Xin also met Tang Huai.But that was after he graduated and entered the company opened by Tang Huai and Tao Xiyan.
One winter, when he returned to Guaizigou, he encountered extremely cold weather, more than ten degrees below zero, which is a very rare temperature in the south.Originally, he and Tang Huai had made an agreement, and they went on a business trip together after returning from their hometown.
Unexpectedly, because of the weather, the buses on the road were all suspended, and Qiao An couldn't go back on time.Unexpectedly, Tang Huai came to pick him up from Yaocheng in his own black four circle.
It was also that time that Qiao Xin saw Tang Huai.
Afterwards, I had an obviously abnormal reaction. For the first time, I took the initiative to call him, always citing the topic to his work and the boss as if there was nothing.How did Qiao An understand Qiao Xin's twisted thoughts at that time, and she was moved that Qiao Xin began to care about herself.
Later, when Qiao Xin told him that she was going to visit him in Shake City, and asked him where the company's address was, Qiao An ran to the station to pick her up, took a taxi, booked a hotel, and asked Qiao Xin to stay. .
Thinking about it now, it's obvious that Qiao Xin is a drunkard, and in her last life she was foolishly trying to restore the relationship between sister and brother.
…………
After staying in the hospital for another week, Qiao Xin ran to the hospital frequently, looking around every time she came. Qiao An remained calm and did not point out her behavior.
When his voice was finally able to speak, he was allowed to leave the hospital.
Zhang Qi came to pick him up when he was discharged from the hospital, but no one came from Qiao An's house.Regarding this, Zhang Qi was worried that Qiao An was not feeling well, and comforted him: "Maybe it's the Chinese New Year, and my aunt is busy with the New Year at home. After my uncle fell into the water, he had a cold and a fever, and he refused to come to the hospital. Now he is resting at home." It's on."
Joan shook his head: "It's okay."
This year, Joan still lived at home.After all, Qiao's father was genuinely good to Qiao An, and Qiao An didn't want to shame Father Qiao's face and make him think too much.
Chinese New Year in the countryside is nothing more than preparing some New Year’s goods, eating a New Year’s Eve dinner, and then watching the Spring Festival Gala. Firecrackers don’t stop all night long.
After that, it is to go door to door to visit the New Year.Joan was tired of coming from family to family like a spinning top during the Chinese New Year, and then being treated as a 'child of someone else's family' to teach 'children of his own family'.Little did they know that Qiao An, a 'child from someone else's family', was even more annoying, so he made an excuse, saying that he was reading at home, so he didn't go to New Year's greetings.
Qiao Xin, on the other hand, said that she had to go to work, and did not go to New Year's greetings with Qiao's father and mother.
About Qiao Xin's concealment from Qiao's parents and Qiao's mother, Qiao An also pretended not to know.This in itself was the path Qiao Xin chose, even if Qiao An wanted to intervene, it would be futile.
After the seventh day, Qiao An used the excuse of school to make up lessons, and hurried back to Shake City with a suitcase.
After that, he didn't go home for the whole semester. During this period, Qiao Xin came to the school to look for him, but when Qiao An heard that it was Qiao Xin, he didn't even see him.
When I have free time, I go to the store. The two shop assistants have been able to familiarize themselves with the process of the online store. They spontaneously act as customer service to communicate with online customers, and deliver the goods after placing the order.
The sales volume on the Internet is not worse than that in the boutique store. The online store takes the route of small profits but quick turnover, just like the brochure business Joan did before. In a well-decorated store, the standard is high, and the price will definitely not be low.
During the two months of summer vacation, Qiao An started a second online store, which specializes in selling Korean stationery and hair accessories.At that time, the Korean wave had just become popular in China. A Korean drama about an ordinary girl and two princes of the royal family conquered the hearts of many girls.Qiao An took advantage of this trend and asked Xu Li to produce many hair accessories, stationery, accessories, etc. that appeared in popular Korean dramas.It was sold out almost as soon as it was launched, and there was absolutely no stranded stock.
As a result, Xu Li was forced to stay up all night to make up Korean dramas, filming all the products that had business opportunities in them, and taking them to the factory to compare them.
At that time, there was a pencil hairpin that sold very well. It was used by the heroine of a Korean drama to clip on her hair. After Xu Li made the same style first, he did not supply the goods to other retailers, but only invested in the 'Clover' boutique. Sold in store and online.The stock is often sold out, and many customers rush to find the store to specify that they want to buy pencil hair clips.
A product, started a store's popularity.It's similar to the Internet celebrity shop later, but the Internet was not developed at that time, and it could only rely on word of mouth, which also achieved this effect.
At the end of the summer vacation, Xu Li is thinking about opening another branch of the 'Clover' boutique.
Soon after the new school year started, Yu Caihong called Qiao An and Zhou Qiguang to the office together.There was a tall and thin male teacher sitting next to Yu Caihong's seat. Qiao An's eyelids twitched when he saw the male teacher for the first time. Isn't this the instructor Bei He of the last Math Olympiad competition?
Bei He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Qiao An and Zhou Qiguang: "Then leave them to me, thank you Teacher Yu."
"Where is it, the children in our class are lucky if you like them." Yu Caihong said politely.
"Okay, then you are busy first." Bei He stood up from his seat and waved to Qiao An and Zhou Qiguang: "You two, come with me."
Qiao An kept searching in his mind how to reject Bei He later, so he could only follow Bei He first.Sure enough, Bei He took the two of them to a classroom.It was specially developed by the school for training courses for the students of the Olympiad class.
There were already nearly ten students inside. As soon as Qiao An entered, he saw Tang Huai and Tao Xiyan sitting in the back row.Tao Xiyan also saw Qiao An, smiled and waved to him.Tang Huai held a mobile phone in his hand unscrupulously, looking at the content on it.
"You guys find a place to sit down." Bei He walked to the podium and said to Joan and
It was Joan's first winter vacation when he entered the High School Attached to the City of Shakespeare. The county held a temple fair by the river every year before the Chinese New Year.In the last life, in order to earn more money, Qiao An's father also set up a stall in the temple fair to sell sugar paintings.As a result, something happened and he was pushed into the Punan River.The river water in winter was icy cold. After Father Qiao was fished up, he didn't even go to the hospital. He only went home to rest in bed for a day or two, and then went back to busy work.The cold air entered the body, and it was not well recuperated, so the body was not very good afterwards.
It was because of a cold that caused severe pneumonia, and finally died of heart failure.
Qiao An went back to prevent Qiao's father from falling into the water in the previous life.
Sitting in the bus, I went back to Guaizigou.
When I arrived at my yard, it was already dark, and I was not able to walk in calmly like before.He lingered at the gate of the yard for a long time, until a hoarse voice stopped him: "Xiao An, are you back?"
Looking behind him, he saw Father Qiao walking forward cheerfully.
"Father." Joan's voice was trembling and nervous. After so many years, seeing Qiao's father in real life again, Joan couldn't control his emotions all of a sudden.
He hugged Joan into his arms and patted him on the back with his big hands: "Okay, I haven't seen Dad for a long time, I miss Dad."
Sucking his nose, he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, he was the soul of a 30-year-old man, and he felt ashamed when he shed tears.
"Why did you come home so late? Isn't the school on holiday?" Regardless of Qiao Xin's deliberate instigation in the previous life, Qiao's father never neglected his care for Qiao An.
"Something else." Joan said vaguely.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Father Qiao didn't ask any more questions, but just patted Joan on the shoulder and pushed open the gate of the yard to take him in: "I'm just worried that you go to school in the city too hard, and you can't take care of yourself."
Entering the room, Mother Qiao just prepared the food on the table, and when she saw Qiao An, she immediately rushed over excitedly: "You child, why did you come back so soon?"
Holding Joan's hand, he immediately scolded softly: "It's so cold, why don't you wear gloves?"
"..." Joan turned to his father for help.
Qiao's father smiled and interrupted Qiao's mother's nagging: "Okay, the child finally came back, are we going to drive him away again?" As for the fact that Qiao An didn't come home for a semester, Qiao's father only heard from Qiao's mother. Know a little bit.
Qiao's mother was a little embarrassed. Although Qiao's father was away for many years, it was still Qiao's father who had the final say in this family.
"Xiao An, it was my mother who spoke too harshly before, but do you also have the heart to not go home for so long?" Qiao's mother said guiltily.
Joan was vague: "The schoolwork is very heavy, I just want to study hard."
"Yes, yes, it's right to study hard. Our family can only count on you to be successful." Qiao's mother nodded again and again, talking about Qiao Xin: "Your sister dropped out of school a while ago and found a job in the county. It’s a job with a good salary.”
"... Oh." Qiao Xin dropped out of school just like in her previous life. She originally studied fashion design at a vocational high school in the county.It sounds like a fashion design, but in fact, I will just go to work in a factory in the future.After studying for two years, I didn't want to miss it anymore, so I dropped out of school and found a job.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here soon, Qiao Xin's cheerful voice sounded, and seemed to be in a good mood: "I brought a roast chicken back, let's add some food tonight."
When I bumped into Qiao An, my face immediately turned cold, faster than changing my face: "Hey, isn't this our top student, finally willing to come back?"
Before Qiao An could speak, Father Qiao lowered his face unhappily: "Xiaoxin, what are you talking about? That's your brother, how can you talk like that?"
Qiao's father had the majesty of Qiao's father, and Qiao Xin did not dare to be too presumptuous. She curled her lips and put the lunch box in her hand on the table.
Mother Qiao was happy in her heart, but she still shook her head and reprimanded: "Xiaoxin, I know you are filial. But you should keep the money you earn for yourself. When you get married, you can use it as a dowry."
Qiao Xin pouted: "Mom, I'm still young, why don't I marry or not? Besides, I can't finish these things."
Qiao Xin didn't explain it clearly, but Qiao An heard the words, who can't finish eating?
…………
After staying at home for two days, I heard Qiao's father mention going to the temple fair to sell sugar paintings.
"When I was working outside, a fellow worker was good at sugar painting, and he taught me for a while. I want to try it, anyway, all I need is to cook a pot of sugar syrup."
Joan immediately objected: "Dad, sugar painting can't be done in a day or two, it's a technical job."
"Xiao'an, it won't be difficult for Dad. The simplest bunnies are fine. When the workers go to sell sugar paintings at night, I will follow them. It will definitely work."
"dad……"
"Okay, why don't Xiao An go to the temple fair with Dad to have fun, and when I make money, I'll buy you delicious food."
Once Father Qiao made a decision, it was difficult to be shaken and changed.Qiao An also thought about it, but he really couldn't do it, so he went to the temple fair with Father Qiao, always paying attention to emergencies.
The temple fair had to be early to snatch the stalls. Father Qiao got up in the middle of the night and boiled a pot of syrup. When Qiao An got up, he tied the pot of syrup to the back seat of the bicycle, and the two walked to the place where the temple fair was held in the county.
There were already a few stalls spread out, and Qiao's father picked a place near the river: "Xiao'an, the scenery here is good, and there should be many customers."
"Father, it's too cold by the river. We'd better choose a place close to the entrance of the temple fair. The business will be good there." Even if Father Qiao can't be prevented from coming to the temple fair, as long as it's not by the river...
Father Qiao thought about it seriously: "That's fine."
So, not far from the entrance of the temple fair, he set up a wooden box with stools, put a pot on the wooden box, and an operating table for making sugar paintings.
"Xiao An, go play elsewhere by yourself, Dad doesn't need your help here."
Qiao An is still worried. Although this place is far away from the river, he doesn't know the reason why Qiao's father fell into the water in the previous life. He only knows that there was a dispute between the people who attended the temple fair and accidentally pushed him into the river. The scene was chaotic , Even the perpetrators were not caught.
"It's okay, I'll be here with you." Qiao An shook her head firmly, no matter what Qiao's father said, she just didn't leave.
"Our Xiaoan has become so sensible now." Qiao's father laughed, his dark face was full of wrinkles.
Sitting next to Father Qiao for a while, Qiao An accidentally glanced towards the entrance of the temple fair, and saw a familiar figure, that is... Qiao Xin?
Qiao's mother said that Qiao Xin went to work early in the morning, why did she appear here?
Qiao Xin was wearing a fiery red coat, very conspicuous in the crowd.
Next to the temple fair was a small park. Qiao Xin walked into the park and walked into a small forest, where there happened to be a rockery.A tall man was already waiting beside the rockery, and when Qiao Xin approached, the man couldn't wait to hug her, pinned her down on the rockery, and entangled each other.
Qiao An didn't dare to get too close, but hid behind a tree a little far away. Is that Qiao Xin's boyfriend?Didn't Zhang Qi see Qiao Xin with a short and old man last week?
Qiao Xin was a little out of breath from being kissed, and slapped the man on the back several times before being let go, her face was already blushing.He blamed: "Every time we meet, I'm in a hurry."
"Honey, it's not because you're so tempting." The man hugged Qiao Xin and raised his arms.
Only now did Qiao An see the man's side face clearly, wasn't he the boyfriend who was with Qiao Xin in the previous life and occupied the magpie's nest?
"Don't, don't mess around." Qiao Xin stopped the man's messy hands: "Let me tell you, I might... be pregnant."
Although Qiao Xin's words were very soft, he still heard those two words clearly, and his head buzzed instantly.In the last life, until Qiao An was imprisoned, Qiao Xin never married.No one could have imagined that Qiao Xin would be pregnant at such a young age.
The man also seemed to be frightened and forced: "I'm... Pregnant, who's?"
This is Qiao Xin's distress: "I don't know who it is. Some time ago, I was with you and that old man..."
Before Qiao Xin could finish speaking, the man interrupted and said, "Whether it belongs to me or that old man's, this child cannot be kept."
"Why?" Maybe it's due to motherhood. Even though Qiao Xin knew that the child could not be kept, she couldn't help but imagine what a lively and lovely child she would give birth to after becoming a mother.
"You're not yet an adult!" The man gritted his teeth: "If this is known, both I and the old man will have to go to jail. Do you want to watch us go to jail?"
"When you slept with me, why didn't you think that I was underage?" Qiao Xin inherited Qiao's mother's aggressiveness, and she was definitely not a character who would take advantage of her mouth.
"You didn't tell me that you were underage!" The man reached this point, all he wanted was to distance himself from the relationship: "When I first met you, you were dressed...so mature, how could I have thought that you were underage?" ah."
"Wang Haoyu, are you still a man? Do you feel responsible!" Qiao Xin was so angry that he hit Wang Haoyu with the bag in his hand, turned around and wanted to leave.
Wang Haoyu was quick-witted, and then he thought that although this piece of fat was hot, it was still chewy.He hugged Qiao Xin from behind with both hands, and apologized again and again: "Baby, don't be angry, I just said the wrong thing in a moment of impatience, I love you so much, why didn't I take responsibility?"
Qiao Xin wiped her eyes with her hands, feeling aggrieved: "Then tell me, what should I do about this?"
"Don't you want a new mobile phone?" Wang Haoyu asked her after thinking about it.
"That's right," Qiao Xin regained consciousness immediately, "You want to buy it for me?"
Wang Haoyu was helpless: "I want to buy it for you, but where do I get the money?"
"Then what nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Xin almost rolled his eyes.
"Baby, I have no money, but that old man has money. Now that you are pregnant with his child, how dare he give you the money?" Qiao An stood behind the shade of a tree, listening to Wang Haoyu's love for Qiao Xin in shock. A diabolical plan.
He asked Qiao Xin to bite to death that the child belonged to that man, and then asked the man to give him money.After the money is in hand, create an accident and abort the child.
"This child... really don't want it?" Qiao Xin still hesitated.
"Hey, my fool, don't say you're underage. Before the child is born, you can say whoever it is. After the birth, won't it be clear after the DNA test?"
Qiao Xin was thoughtful, and felt that what Wang Haoyu said was not unreasonable.
"Okay, don't think too much, I'm here for everything." Wang Haoyu put his arms around Qiao Xin's shoulders, and slowly left the grove. A cash cow.
After the figures of the two could no longer be seen, Qiao An slowly walked out from behind the shadow of the tree, took a deep breath, and squeezed his hands tightly.
Why?Although his memory was very vague, he clearly remembered that Qiao Xin was very kind to him when he was very young.When Qiao's mother went to work in the field, Qiao Xin took him wherever she went.Only later, almost overnight, Qiao Xin's whole person changed.No longer smiling at him gently, always resisting Joan like a hedgehog.What she said was true and false, no one knew what Qiao Xin was doing.
Just like Qiao Xin is pregnant, the family probably doesn't even know that Qiao Xin has a boyfriend.
I thought all the way back to the temple fair, and saw Father Qiao's booth, and the wooden box syrup pot was still there, but Father Qiao was nowhere to be seen.Joan ran two steps forward nervously, looked around, but didn't see Father Qiao.
"Uncle, have you seen my dad? He sells sugar paintings here." Joan asked while grabbing the man selling candied haws next to him.
"Oh, he said he was in a hurry to urinate and walked towards the river." The man pointed in the direction.
Qiao An secretly thought something was wrong, and hurried to the river.From a distance, I saw Father Qiao being grabbed by the collar by a man. The man looked rich and powerful, and pointed at Father Qiao's nose and cursed fiercely.Father Qiao was grabbed by the collar by the man, and he leaned back, with the Punan River behind him.
"Dad, be careful!" Joan shouted, running over quickly.
The man pushed Father Qiao and let go of his collar. Father Qiao lost his support and leaned back like weightless.Joan only had time to run behind Father Qiao and push his body forward, but because of inertia, he fell into the water with a "plop-" sound.
The icy river water quickly submerged his head and filled his nostrils.Joan had learned to swim before, so he tried to relax his body and float on the water.Unexpectedly, the cotton jacket on his body became extremely heavy after drinking water, hindering his movements.
Thousands of calculations were made, but only the big padded jacket he put on before going out because he was afraid of the cold was missed.
On the shore, Qiao's father realized that it was Joan who fell into the water, his face changed drastically, and he jumped into the river too.But Qiao's father couldn't swim, so he could only swallow the river water and shouted, "Help!" '
Hearing Qiao's father calling for help not far away, he swam towards him regardless of his heavy padded jacket.
Grab Father Qiao's hand and let him wrap it around his body. Father Qiao's weight is twice that of Joan's, and with the water-absorbed padded jacket, Joan can't move in the water.
"Dad, calm down and relax your body."
"Xiao An, when did you know how to swim?" At the critical moment, Qiao's father's focus was a bit ironic.
Qiao An learned to swim when she was an adult, so Father Qiao naturally didn't know: "Dad, don't talk, I'll take you ashore first."
The two were some distance away from the shore, and the river was icy cold, quickly consuming his physical strength: "Help—" Joan shouted tentatively.
A wave of the river rolled around him, and before he could turn his head, a strong arm wrapped around his waist, letting Joan's back rest on his chest, and a deep, panting voice sounded in his ears: "Do not talk."
At this time, Tao Xiyan also swam to Qiao An, and said to Qiao An, "Give your father to me."
Qiao An immediately let go, and Tao Xiyan circled Father Qiao's neck and swam back vigorously.Father Qiao was jumping around in panic, Tao Xiyan drank several sips of water, and couldn't help frowning: "Uncle, don't move around, or we will both have to confess here."
When Father Qiao heard this, he didn't dare to move casually.
And Qiao An was surrounded by Tang Huai. Qiao An knew water, but when he saved Qiao's father just now, he had spent a lot of energy, and his hands and feet were a little numb due to the freezing of the river.He could only rely on Tang Huai's chest, paddling lightly with his feet, to minimize Tang Huai's burden.
Tang Huai took Qiao An to swim to the shore, and the crowd on the shore pulled Qiao An up.
When being carried into the ambulance, Qiao An was only left with a vague consciousness, as if his whole body had been drained of strength, his eyelids were weakly opened, and he looked at Tang Huai's wet hair on his forehead, and the water dripping down his chin. It dripped on his face, but he didn't feel how cold it was.
After being sent to the hospital, Joan developed a high fever, suffered from slight frostbite, and was unconscious.
Father Qiao was also sent to the hospital. He was still conscious. After the doctor's examination, he was fine, so he was sent home first to change his clothes.
…………
"I'm fine." Unable to withstand Tao Xiyan's tough attitude, Tang Huai could only lie on the hospital bed, waiting for the doctor to perform a physical examination on him.As soon as he finished saying this, he couldn't help but sneezed, and Tao Xiyan immediately said, "Look".
"Tang Huai, don't you think it's a coincidence that we meet that elementary school boy every time we come here? Also," Tao Xiyan looked at him critically, "Based on what I know about you , you shouldn’t be the kind of person who will do what is right.”
To be honest, Tao Xiyan couldn't help hesitating when he heard someone falling into the water.He is definitely not a kind person who is selfless and dedicated. During the few seconds of thinking, the first thing he thought of was that the risk was a bit high, and he might not be able to make it.
Unexpectedly, Tang Huai stepped forward with his long legs, rushed towards the falling water point without hesitation, jumped into the river, and swam towards the drowning person.Tao Xiyan had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the hero, and jumped into the river to save others.
It wasn't until he swam near the person who fell into the water that he realized that the person who fell into the water was actually Joan.
Tang Huai changed into dry clothes, but his hair was not completely dry. A few strands of hair hung on his forehead, and he looked aside, not going to talk to Tao Xiyan.
Tao Xiyan was very blind and persevering: "Brother, did you find out that it was Qiao An who fell into the water after you rescued someone, or did you fall into the water because you saw Qiao An fall?"
"Does it matter?" Tang Huai said weakly.
"Of course it has something to do with it." Tao Xiyan nodded affirmatively: "This can prove that my good brother is naturally warm-hearted or he will sacrifice himself for others under certain conditions!"
Tang Huai looked away, and looked at Tao Xiyan with a pair of slightly raised eyes with interest: "Am I not warm enough for you?"
"Don't." Tao Xiyan solemnly raised a palm: "Don't try to confuse my mind with your abused beauty, you have always been colder than Antarctica to me."
Tang Huai pursed his lips: "Okay."
"So..." Tao Xiyan didn't have time to ask, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, Lu Jiayan's hair was messy, and there were still wet tears on his pale cheeks: "Tang Huai, Tang Huai! How are you? "
He rushed to Tang Huai's hospital bed, grabbed Tang Huai's arm mournfully, and asked worriedly.
Tang Huai calmly pulled his arm out of Lu Jiayan's hand: "As you can see."
His reaction was too cold, making Lu Jiayan's crying voice choke in his throat, unable to spit it out, unable to swallow it, and for a while, he was most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.
"Ahem——" Tao Xiyan coughed twice, breaking the frightening atmosphere: "Tang Huai is a monster, he doesn't die so easily, Jiayan, don't worry."
Lu Jiayan calmed down, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded: "This is the best."
Tao Xiyan was a little surprised. According to the nature of his fanaticism towards Lu Jiayan, if he commented on Tang Huai in this way, he would definitely face Miss Lu's stares and rebuttals.Unexpectedly, she only responded flatly, which is really weird.
"Xiyan, I have something I want to say to Tang Huai alone, is that okay?"
"……Fine."
After Tao Xiyan left and closed the door for them, Lu Jiayan stared at Tang Huai's face and did not speak for a long time.
Tang Huai was not in a hurry to speak, and just stared at the ceiling with his eyes empty, as if Lu Jiayan didn't exist.
"Tang Huai, I'll go abroad to study with you, okay?" Lu Jiayan finally spoke, cautiously, eagerly: "Just go to my brother's school. He is the focus of attention in the Chinese circle there. If you have the top-level contacts, you can let my brother introduce his network to you..."
Since ancient times, there is an old saying that there are people in the court who are easy to handle, which shows how important connections are.Especially in the domestic situation, the phenomenon of cliques is even more serious.Sometimes two people who seem to be in the same circle in private don't expect them to be in the same circle.Offending one of them means that the entire network of relationships behind it will say 'no' to you.
Before Lu Jiayan was in the circle, he didn't pay much attention to this truth.But now, she knew what Tang Huai needed most.In the previous life, she couldn't see clearly, she only knew that she followed Tang Huai nonchalantly, as long as she was like a piece of gum, he couldn't get rid of her.
But that was the wrong way after all, Tang Huai always ignored her, and after she took the extreme method, he would rather hurt her both than give in.
Once again, she is not reconciled, how can she be reconciled.When she knew that she was reborn, she was ecstatic in her heart, and her subconscious thought was that God would help her after all, Tang Huai, she would definitely be able to hold him firmly this time.
"If you're worried about Uncle Tang, I can go and talk to him. As long as Uncle Tang agrees, Aunt Tang will definitely have no objections. You can also entrust someone to get a visa for going abroad, although the school of my brother is a bit difficult to apply for. , but with your grades, you can definitely get an offer..."
"Jiayan." Tang Huai finally spoke, interrupting Lu Jiayan's chatter, with a tired voice: "I won't go abroad."
"Why?" Lu Jiayan didn't understand. In his last life, Tang Huai failed to go abroad by mistake. In this life, Lu Jiayan was sure to help him clear the obstacles, but he told himself that he didn't want to go abroad.
"I'm a little tired." Tang Huai closed his eyes, obviously unwilling to answer.
"Tang Huai, you're just thinking about it now." After a few seconds of silence, Lu Jiayan still said unwillingly: "Take a good rest for a few days, and then think about it when you feel refreshed. Going abroad is very beneficial for you. And there is no harm, and what I said can definitely be done.”
When Qiao An woke up, she had a splitting headache, her eyes were so sore that she couldn't open them at all, and it took a lot of effort to narrow her eyes.There are also several hospital beds around, and several patients are lying there.
Seeing Joan woke up, someone came over with concern and asked, "Son, are you awake?"
Joan really wanted to answer, but her throat was on fire and she couldn't make a sound at all.
"Don't move around, lie down." The man pressed Joan's shoulder with his hand, preventing him from moving.
After lying on the hospital bed for a long time, the doctor came to check: "There is nothing serious about the body. After two days of observation, I can consider leaving the hospital."
Joan pointed to his throat, and the doctor came over knowingly: "Oh, it's normal that your throat can't make a sound. After you fell into the water, the river water poured into your throat and hurt your vocal cords. Pay attention to rest, don't force your voice, and you will soon be able to recover."
Joan nodded, the doctor remembered something, and said: "By the way, if your family members come, remember to inform them that your hospitalization fee needs to be paid. If you don't pay the hospitalization fee, you can't be discharged from the hospital."
Hospitalization fees... Joan really wanted to ask, how is his father doing?Tang Huai and Tao Xiyan also rescued him, are they alright?But the doctor was in a hurry, and after checking Joan, he left the ward.
After a while, when it was time for lunch, the family members in the next bed went to buy food, and Joan was lying alone on the bed.
"Are you awake?" A voice sounded from the side of the bed, and he turned his head. He didn't even know when Tang Huai was standing beside him.
He frowned almost inaudibly, but Tang Huai was his savior no matter what.Although he didn't want to owe Tang Huai anything he owed anyone, but what happened has become an indelible fact.
Tang Huai was wearing a white t-shirt and a light gray cardigan outside, which was loosely worn on his body, and his complexion didn't seem very good.
He raised his finger and pointed to his throat, indicating that he could not speak.At the same time, he made a gesture of writing and asked if he could use it.
Tang Huai understood what he meant, looked around, and actually took the medical record book that the doctor had left by the bedside, and handed it to him with a pen on the blank back.
Joan hesitated, this is not good...
"Write." Tang Huai ordered briefly.
Swish and write on the paper: "Why did you save me?"
Tang Huai's beautiful lips raised evilly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Do you think I saved you because it was you?"
Qiao An shook his head reflexively. Until now, he still had no unrealistic thoughts about Tang Huai.
"Then is it interesting for you to ask this question?"
Joan thought for a while, crossed out the word 'I', and wrote the word 'person', which became 'Why did you save people? '
Well, he had to ask for an answer.
"I'm the successor of socialism. If I save someone on the way, do I still have to ask why?" There was no emotion in Tang Huai's eyes, as if it was as simple as accidentally saving a cat or dog: "If there are so many why, I'm afraid a hundred thousand whys are not enough for you to ask."
Qiao An nodded, accepting Tang Huai's words: "Thank you."
Then wrote another sentence: "I will repay you."
Tang Huai looked at the last sentence he wrote, put his hand on his chin, and stared carefully for a while: "Really?"
Looking at the words he wrote, Joan realized that he was asking the last sentence.He wondered why he wanted to repay him. In his previous life, he wanted to repay a sentence he said, and the subsequent things became as unclear as rolling a ball of yarn.
Quickly crossed out the last sentence with a pen, and seeing Qiao An's actions, Tang Huai couldn't help but "chih—": "Not sincere."
Joan's eyes widened: Can sincerity be eaten?Can sincerity be exchanged for early knowledge?Sincerity it is a wool!
"Excuse me, are you..." The suspicious figure remembered not far away, and Qiao An followed the sound and looked over.Seeing Qiao Xin standing on his bed, staring straight at Tang Huai.
Tang Huai turned his head and glanced at Qiao Xin, but did not answer. The arrogance in his eyes told Qiao An that he was too lazy to answer.
Without hearing the answer from Tang Huai, Qiao Xin turned her head and smiled softly: "Qiao An, is this your classmate? Why have I never seen it before?"
Compared with Tang Huai's appearance, Qiao Xin's warm appearance like a spring breeze made Qiao An even more numb.
Pointing to his own throat, he waved his hand to show that he couldn't make a sound.
Qiao Xin looked at Qiao An suspiciously, but couldn't show anything on his face, and extended his hand to Tang Huai generously: "Hello, I am Qiao An's sister, Qiao Xin."
At this time, Tang Huai stretched out his hand lazily, and lightly touched Qiao Xin's hand with his fingertips: "Hello."
"Thank you for coming to see my brother. I think you and him must be very good friends." Qiao Xin stood beside Tang Huai naturally, looking at Tang Huai, wishing to put him in her eyes.
"You rest, I'm leaving first." Throwing a sentence to Qiao An, then nodded to Qiao Xin, and turned and left without talking nonsense.
After watching Tang Huai's back disappear into the corner, Qiao Xin looked back in a little disappointment, and when she looked at Qiao An again, she didn't have the gentleness just now.But he still suppressed his temper and said calmly to Qiao An: "This is the chicken soup that my mother asked me to bring. Do you want to drink it?"
Joan, who had been hungry for a while, nodded.
Putting the chicken soup tin lunch box on the bedside table, he glanced at the paper in Joan's hand, snatched it before Joan had time to react, read it quickly, and raised his head happily: "That person is the one who saved you? "
Suspicious of Qiao Xin's reaction, Qiao An nodded expressionlessly.
Qiao Xin rolled her eyes, and threw the paper back into Qiao An's hand with the backing board: "You eat, I'll go first." After speaking, the high heels on her feet kicked away on the floor tiles.
Qiao An was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something.In the previous life, Qiao Xin also met Tang Huai.But that was after he graduated and entered the company opened by Tang Huai and Tao Xiyan.
One winter, when he returned to Guaizigou, he encountered extremely cold weather, more than ten degrees below zero, which is a very rare temperature in the south.Originally, he and Tang Huai had made an agreement, and they went on a business trip together after returning from their hometown.
Unexpectedly, because of the weather, the buses on the road were all suspended, and Qiao An couldn't go back on time.Unexpectedly, Tang Huai came to pick him up from Yaocheng in his own black four circle.
It was also that time that Qiao Xin saw Tang Huai.
Afterwards, I had an obviously abnormal reaction. For the first time, I took the initiative to call him, always citing the topic to his work and the boss as if there was nothing.How did Qiao An understand Qiao Xin's twisted thoughts at that time, and she was moved that Qiao Xin began to care about herself.
Later, when Qiao Xin told him that she was going to visit him in Shake City, and asked him where the company's address was, Qiao An ran to the station to pick her up, took a taxi, booked a hotel, and asked Qiao Xin to stay. .
Thinking about it now, it's obvious that Qiao Xin is a drunkard, and in her last life she was foolishly trying to restore the relationship between sister and brother.
…………
After staying in the hospital for another week, Qiao Xin ran to the hospital frequently, looking around every time she came. Qiao An remained calm and did not point out her behavior.
When his voice was finally able to speak, he was allowed to leave the hospital.
Zhang Qi came to pick him up when he was discharged from the hospital, but no one came from Qiao An's house.Regarding this, Zhang Qi was worried that Qiao An was not feeling well, and comforted him: "Maybe it's the Chinese New Year, and my aunt is busy with the New Year at home. After my uncle fell into the water, he had a cold and a fever, and he refused to come to the hospital. Now he is resting at home." It's on."
Joan shook his head: "It's okay."
This year, Joan still lived at home.After all, Qiao's father was genuinely good to Qiao An, and Qiao An didn't want to shame Father Qiao's face and make him think too much.
Chinese New Year in the countryside is nothing more than preparing some New Year’s goods, eating a New Year’s Eve dinner, and then watching the Spring Festival Gala. Firecrackers don’t stop all night long.
After that, it is to go door to door to visit the New Year.Joan was tired of coming from family to family like a spinning top during the Chinese New Year, and then being treated as a 'child of someone else's family' to teach 'children of his own family'.Little did they know that Qiao An, a 'child from someone else's family', was even more annoying, so he made an excuse, saying that he was reading at home, so he didn't go to New Year's greetings.
Qiao Xin, on the other hand, said that she had to go to work, and did not go to New Year's greetings with Qiao's father and mother.
About Qiao Xin's concealment from Qiao's parents and Qiao's mother, Qiao An also pretended not to know.This in itself was the path Qiao Xin chose, even if Qiao An wanted to intervene, it would be futile.
After the seventh day, Qiao An used the excuse of school to make up lessons, and hurried back to Shake City with a suitcase.
After that, he didn't go home for the whole semester. During this period, Qiao Xin came to the school to look for him, but when Qiao An heard that it was Qiao Xin, he didn't even see him.
When I have free time, I go to the store. The two shop assistants have been able to familiarize themselves with the process of the online store. They spontaneously act as customer service to communicate with online customers, and deliver the goods after placing the order.
The sales volume on the Internet is not worse than that in the boutique store. The online store takes the route of small profits but quick turnover, just like the brochure business Joan did before. In a well-decorated store, the standard is high, and the price will definitely not be low.
During the two months of summer vacation, Qiao An started a second online store, which specializes in selling Korean stationery and hair accessories.At that time, the Korean wave had just become popular in China. A Korean drama about an ordinary girl and two princes of the royal family conquered the hearts of many girls.Qiao An took advantage of this trend and asked Xu Li to produce many hair accessories, stationery, accessories, etc. that appeared in popular Korean dramas.It was sold out almost as soon as it was launched, and there was absolutely no stranded stock.
As a result, Xu Li was forced to stay up all night to make up Korean dramas, filming all the products that had business opportunities in them, and taking them to the factory to compare them.
At that time, there was a pencil hairpin that sold very well. It was used by the heroine of a Korean drama to clip on her hair. After Xu Li made the same style first, he did not supply the goods to other retailers, but only invested in the 'Clover' boutique. Sold in store and online.The stock is often sold out, and many customers rush to find the store to specify that they want to buy pencil hair clips.
A product, started a store's popularity.It's similar to the Internet celebrity shop later, but the Internet was not developed at that time, and it could only rely on word of mouth, which also achieved this effect.
At the end of the summer vacation, Xu Li is thinking about opening another branch of the 'Clover' boutique.
Soon after the new school year started, Yu Caihong called Qiao An and Zhou Qiguang to the office together.There was a tall and thin male teacher sitting next to Yu Caihong's seat. Qiao An's eyelids twitched when he saw the male teacher for the first time. Isn't this the instructor Bei He of the last Math Olympiad competition?
Bei He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Qiao An and Zhou Qiguang: "Then leave them to me, thank you Teacher Yu."
"Where is it, the children in our class are lucky if you like them." Yu Caihong said politely.
"Okay, then you are busy first." Bei He stood up from his seat and waved to Qiao An and Zhou Qiguang: "You two, come with me."
Qiao An kept searching in his mind how to reject Bei He later, so he could only follow Bei He first.Sure enough, Bei He took the two of them to a classroom.It was specially developed by the school for training courses for the students of the Olympiad class.
There were already nearly ten students inside. As soon as Qiao An entered, he saw Tang Huai and Tao Xiyan sitting in the back row.Tao Xiyan also saw Qiao An, smiled and waved to him.Tang Huai held a mobile phone in his hand unscrupulously, looking at the content on it.
"You guys find a place to sit down." Bei He walked to the podium and said to Joan and
