I feed my entire legion by farming

Chapter 9 I will tell you a secret

At this time, Qiao Yan was still immersed in longing for a new life.Zhao Qin's response made him feel more happy in this kind of joy.

After all, since he was a child, he never had anything that truly belonged to him, so how could he share it with others?Therefore, for Qiao Yan, leaving Qiao's house is not only a relief, but also the beginning of true self-owning.

Maybe it's because of the different mood. The whole day's class is no different from the previous day, but Qiao Yan just feels very happy. Even before school, the teacher handed out a lot of papers, Qiao Yan didn't fluctuate much.

There is a part-time job tonight, and after Qiao Yan packed up his things, he quickly drove to the part-time job.It is a small bookstore about three stops away from the school.Opposite was the junior high school, and Qiao Yan went to help the boss's children with homework.

Qiao Yan's junior high school is here, so the boss knows him very well.It was for this reason that Qiao Yan was able to get the job.The boss's child went to visit his grandmother in other places, and Qiao Yan had to participate in closed training for the mathematical modeling competition, so Qiao Yan hadn't been here for a month.

When the boss saw him coming, he exchanged some pleasantries.The child rushed over and hugged Qiao Yan, "Brother Qiao, you are here!"

"Quick, I have good news for you! Dang Dang Dang!" The child took out his report card and showed it to Qiao Yan, "I have improved my math again! The teacher said that if I can maintain this grade all the time, he can recommend me to enter the Math Olympiad class .”

"Brother Qiao, did you just enter the Mathematics Olympiad class in the first year of junior high school, and then you got the National General Admission in the third year of junior high school?"

"Yeah." Qiao Yan nodded, and couldn't help being happy when he saw his score, "It's really amazing! Look, I'll just say you can do it!"

"Brother Qiao taught me well!"

The child looked at Qiao Yan with admiration in his eyes.This child's rebellious period came too early.Maybe it's because his family owns a bookstore, so he doesn't like reading very much.

Later, Qiao Yan came to work in the bookstore. The boss saw that Qiao Yan was a student, so he allowed him to do homework at the front desk when the bookstore was not busy.

The kid didn't understand Qiao Yan working so hard every day and still had to study.Later, when he saw that Joe was tired of doing math problems, he could see his interest.Joe hates to appreciate the boss's care, so he teaches him in his spare time.

At the beginning, the bookstore owner didn't know, but when he found out that his son's grades were improving by leaps and bounds, he asked, and found out that it was due to Qiao Yan.

So he simply hired Qiao Yan as a tutor.Qiao Yan's grades are solid, and the fees are not high. Most importantly, the kid listens to Qiao Yan's words, so learning is more effective with half the effort.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Qiao Yan closed his textbooks and planned to leave.

The child held him back, "Brother Qiao, is there anything happy for you recently?"

"How do you know?" Qiao Yan was surprised.

Child: "It's hard not to know! Your tone of voice is much lighter than usual."

"What do I usually do?" Qiao Yan asked him curiously.

The child frowned and thought for a while: "It's always cautious, as if afraid of being kicked out."

Qiao Yan was stunned and remained silent for a while before realizing that he could not refute.Because that's how it used to be.

He lives in Qiao's family, and he is the young master of Qiao's family by blood, but in fact he is not even as good as the servants of Qiao's family.Just like the gossip of those servants in private, "At least we still have a work contract! The one in the attic...hehe."

Yes, these words, intentional or unintentional, have been heard by Qiao Yan since he was a child.During the 18 years in the attic of Qiao's house, Qiao Yan had to beam every amount of food and water.

In fact, no one knew that when Qiao Yan was a child, the person she admired most was the little girl among the little match girls.Although that little girl froze to death in the snowy night, she waited until the grandmother who loved her the most.But Qiao Yan was worried that even if she walked onto the Naihe Bridge, she would not be able to recognize her mother.

Fortunately, fortunately, he left.

Qiao Yan took a deep breath, and swallowed all the hidden emotions in his heart. In fact, it didn't matter. From now on, no one can drive him out of his home casually!

Thinking of this, Qiao Yan showed a real smile on his face. He patted the child on the shoulder and told him, "Review well, I'm going home!"

Qiao Yan was very brisk when he said this sentence.

In the following week, Qiao Yan arranged his nest bit by bit.He carefully calculated the money on his body, trying to use every expense wisely.Soon, the small house of six square meters became richer. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs and is full of warmth.

Qiao Yan stood by the window and watered two pots of sunflowers. The buds had already grown very big, and they would definitely bloom tomorrow at the most!

Sure enough, the next morning, when Qiao Yan opened his eyes, he found that the two pots of sunflowers had all bloomed, and the warm red color was extraordinarily lively under the sun, as if it was a gift for Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan touched the petals with a smile in his eyes.

Because Zhao Qin said that he would come over to celebrate Qiao Yan's birthday tonight.So Qiao Yan went to prepare as soon as school was over.He bought a lot of Zhao Qin's favorite snacks, and specially ordered a whole roast duck.

Back home, Qiao Yan pasted a pair of Spring Festival couplets on the small door of her partition.Dedicated to celebrating the move.When the neighbor next door saw it, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's so ritualistic!"

"Yeah!" Qiao Yan was a little embarrassed, "I've heard people say that this can make you happy."

"It's really nice!" the man agreed.

Qiao Yan touched the calf under the couplet.Furry, it is impossible for the Qiao family to allow such tasteless and textureless things to appear at home, but Qiao Yan likes it very much.He likes everything that looks warm, as if in this way, he can immerse himself in the warm sun.

Looking at the time, Qiao Yan went into the house and put the food on the table and got it ready.

Maybe it was coming of age, or maybe it was the first time someone celebrated his birthday with him, Qiao Yan was very excited.It was rare for him to chatter, and while tidying up the house, he sent a message to Zhao Qin to report the progress.

"I'm home! Let me know when your tutoring class is over and you're ready to go. I'll pick you up downstairs."

"The house is a bit narrow, and the bed is also a single bed, but I can sleep on the floor, so I don't have to worry about not being able to sleep at night."

"I bought the mango and chocolate that you like to eat, and the roast duck is also kept warm, waiting for you to come!"

"It will take another hour for you to finish class, time really flies by so slowly!"

Qiao Yan was sitting on the bed with her mobile phone in her hand. In the past, it was Zhao Qin who sent him messages one after another. It was a rare exchange between the two of them. Qiao Yan thought it was quite interesting.It's a great feeling to have someone to share with you all the time.

Looking at the time, it was more than an hour before Zhao Qin's cram school ended.Qiao Yan couldn't hold back anymore, and decided to set off early to pick up Zhao Qin outside his cram school.

Zhao Qin would definitely be shocked when he saw him!But then he would rush over and hug his arm, disgusted, and steal again.Qiao Yan was amused by his own brain, but the pace of his feet involuntarily accelerated a lot.

When passing by the station, Qiao Yan found that the old art gallery behind the station seemed to have changed owners.Usually the gate is closed, but today it is open.

Qiao Yan walked over curiously to have a look, and unexpectedly found that all the oil paintings hanging in the old art gallery had been replaced with photos.Qiao Chen wants to be a world-class photographer in the future, so even if Qiao Yan hasn't studied it systematically, he can roughly distinguish between good and bad works.

But the photographs in front of him cannot be described in words.

In the past, when Qiao Yan overheard Qiao Chen talking on the phone with someone, he said that the world under the lens is the art in the eyes of the photographer.But at this moment, Qiao Yan looked at these photos and finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Qiao Yan couldn't help but go inside. In the innermost room, there was a half-person-high photo hanging. In the photo, there was a field of enthusiastic sunflowers.They are clearly just some of the most common flowers, but Qiao Yan can see exuberant vitality, as well as endless hope and enthusiasm from these deep and shallow bright yellows.

Qiao Yan watched too intently, until a man in overalls came over, and Qiao Yan suddenly came back to his senses.

"This is a private collection, how did you get in here!" The man frowned and looked at Qiao Yan impatiently.

"The outer door is not closed." Qiao Yan patiently explained to him.

"Then don't come next time!" The man said, urging Qiao Yan to go out.

Qiao Yan smelled a strong smell of alcohol on his body.Such employees really can't go wrong!Qiao Yan always felt that this person was an unreliable adopted son.But that pair of sunflowers is really beautiful, but I don’t know who the photographer who took the photo is, it should be a very famous one!

While thinking about it, Qiao Yan took out her mobile phone and wanted to check it online.As a result, when I saw the time, I felt bad!He was too focused on looking at the photos in the art gallery just now, which resulted in wasting a lot of time.

At this time, instead of picking up Zhao Qin in the past, it is better to wait for him downstairs.

Fortunately, Zhao Qin was not told in advance, otherwise Zhao Qin would definitely lose his temper with him.Qiao Yan was very happy.

In the end, Zhao Qin got stuck at Qiao Yan's house. As soon as he got out of the car, Qiao Yan hurried over to pick him up.

Zhao Qin held a large cake box in his hand, and held a bottle of red wine with difficulty in the other hand.

"I'll get it for you!" Qiao Yan stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Zhao Qin just handed him the wine. "Take this! This cake is very important, and my surprise for you is inside!"

Qiao Yan was looking forward to it, but nodded in agreement, and then led Zhao Qin in.

"Welcome! It's a bit small, but it's very comfortable. You can sit wherever you want, and I'll heat up the meal!" After Qiao Yan entered, he put the wine on the table, and then tried to introduce his home to Zhao Qin.

But after all, it is only 6 square meters, and the introduction will be finished in 2 minutes at most.Qiao Yan was a little apprehensive, for fear that Zhao Qin would not like it.

And Zhao Qin, who usually talks a lot, was unexpectedly very dull, "It's late, I'm hungry. Let's eat!"

After Zhao Qin said so, he pulled Qiao Yan to sit at the dinner table together.But picking up the chopsticks, Zhao Qin didn't take much notice of the table of dishes Qiao Yan had arranged, and instead kept persuading Qiao Yan to drink.

"Janyan, you are eighteen today, you can drink. Didn't you always say that today is the best day? Then celebrate it even more!"

Qiao Yan vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right, but she couldn't refuse Zhao Qin.After two glasses of red wine, Qiao Yan felt a little dizzy, but he was still conscious.

Zhao Qin looked at Qiao Yan's flushed face, and after playing with the phone for a while, he suddenly said to Qiao Yan, "It's no fun for the two of us to drink like this, why don't we have some fun!"

"What's interesting?" Qiao Yan's mind was already spinning a little slowly.

Zhao Qin moved the chair to Qiao Yan's side, and leaned into Qiao Yan's ear and whispered, "How about a secret exchange?"

"What secret to exchange?"

"Am I your best friend?"

"Yes!" Qiao Yan nodded seriously.

"Then let's talk about everything! Tell me everything you haven't told others, or can't tell others."

"And I will also tell you a secret about me."

"Janyan, don't you want to know what my big secret is?"

"..." Zhao Qin's tone was mysterious and full of temptation. Qiao Yan frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head blankly, "But I don't have any secrets to exchange with you."

"Why not!" Zhao Qin pointedly looked at the photo on the table, "Aren't you going to introduce your mother to me?"

"But..." Qiao Yan suddenly thought that the relationship between himself and the Qiao family cannot be known.

However, Zhao Qin has always been persuasive and persuasive, "It's hard work all by yourself! Just tell me!"

"Tell me, and I will always be with you in the future."

"Janyan, don't you want to be with me forever?"

If you stay together all the time, then you won't be alone in the future!Zhao Qin's words accurately hit Qiao Yan's weakness. During the 18 years in Qiao's family, Qiao Yan has no affiliation, nor has he received any favor.Although Qiao Yan is used to living alone, people are naturally social animals. If they can rely on someone, who would like to be alone all the time?

So, it doesn't matter if you tell Zhao Qin!He has left Qiao's house and will no longer be a threat to anyone.So what if the background is not good?He should always pay off the debts of Qiao's family. On the last day before he became an adult, he should be bold once, and it doesn't matter if he confides!

Qiao Yan looked at Zhao Qin's face, he saw his eyes were so sincere, and he was his best and only friend.Qiao Yan shook his hands and poured himself another glass of wine. After drinking it all at once, Qiao Yan looked at his mother's smile in the photo, as if encouraging him to take a step forward.

Qiao Yan finally made up his mind, and asked Zhao Qin solemnly, "Then will you tell others?"

"of course not!"

Qiao Yan made up her mind, picked up the photo on the table and handed it to Zhao Qin.

"Who is this?" Zhao Qin asked knowingly.

Qiao Yan was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice his little movements, so he said to himself, "This is my mother."

"I do have a secret, I'm not really an orphan, I'm an illegitimate child."

Zhao Qin didn't answer.As if shocked by this secret, the long silence made the atmosphere awkward.

So, does Zhao Qin also dislike his origin?

Qiao realized that the three words of illegitimate child represented the loss of morality to the public.Qiao Yan felt uneasy and wanted to add something, but saw Zhao Qin smiling sweetly as usual.

Joe sighed in relief.

But Zhao Qin walked in front of him, "You're done talking, now it's my turn!"

Zhao Qin's eyes were full of viciousness after a successful prank, and Qiao Yan felt bad subconsciously.

But Zhao Qin had already turned on the phone and played a recording.It was exactly what Qiao Yan said just now.

"What do you want to do?" Qiao Yan stood up from the chair.

At this time, the clock on the upper right corner of the phone finally jumped to zero.

Zhao Qin looked at Qiao Yan's face and said softly, "Yanyan, the secret I want to tell you is..."

He paused, but Qiao Yan held his breath.

"I lied to you when I said I wouldn't tell others." Zhao Qin's tone was full of mockery and contempt.

Just after he finished speaking, Qiao Yan watched helplessly as Zhao Qin uploaded the recording to the class group.

The author says:

Everyone who leaves a message has a small red envelope, and it will be updated before [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
