He Qingrou was in a trance for a moment, and she didn't come back to herself until she called out again. She tried her best to calm down and said in a low voice, "Xiaojie."

Because of her long-lost words, the boy seemed a little excited: "Hey!"

He paused, with a smile in his words: "Sister, have you eaten yet?"

He Qingrou's tone softened a lot: "I just ate it, how about you?"

"I ate too, and I'm packing up."

He Qingrou asked casually, "Going out?"

The young man was silent for a long time, and replied: "Sister, I applied to Nancheng University of Electronic Science and Technology, and I plan to come to get acquainted with it in advance."

He has excellent grades and performed well in the college entrance examination. He should be able to get a top-ranked 985. When he applied for volunteers, he called He Qingrou, and He Qingrou suggested that he apply for universities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

But he reported to Nancheng University of Electronic Science and Technology.

He Qingrou froze and fell silent.

Before the atmosphere became lively, a scoop of cold water came in an instant.

There was a small window in the corner, she walked over, looked at the green mountains and green waters outside the courtyard, suppressed the expression on her face, frowned slightly and said, "When will you arrive?"

"Tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon, are you free?" the young man said, and then changed his words, "If you have a job, we can come by ourselves and wait for you downstairs."

"There's nothing to do, I'll pick you up." He Qingju said, she didn't want to say anything more, "I have something to do here, hang up first, pay attention to safety on the road, call me half an hour in advance tomorrow, I will Waiting for you at the gate of the station."

The boy said happily: "Okay, don't worry."

He Qingrou pressed the hang up button.

She didn't go back immediately, but stood outside the window calmly and calmly.

Xiaojie, whose full name is He Jie, means to hope that his son will become a dragon, which contains the deep expectations of He's father for him.

He Jie's mother's surname is Xie, and her name is Xie Hongling. She is an authentic Linmangshan native, a tea picker, who comes to the He family's tea field every year to pick tea. Her tea picking skills were taught by He Qingrou and her grandfather.Grandpa's original intention was to teach this woman in the mountains how to make a living, but she didn't expect that she would become He Qingrou's stepmother.

But it was a long time later, and my grandfather died long before she passed the door.

He Qingrou's biological mother was named Lianyi, with a gentle personality, the only daughter in the family, and she was considered a lady of the family. At that time, the Lian family had two tea mountains, and the Lian family had a high status in the local area. In addition, Lian Yi was born beautiful, and the suitors almost The threshold is leveled.At that time, everyone thought that Lian Yi would marry a well-matched person or a well-informed intellectual, but she was blind and fell in love with Father He.

Back then, Father He was called a bastard at best, and a bum at worst. He had a decent appearance and was very good at talking. He coaxed Lian Yi into his hands with a few sweet words.He Qingrou and her grandfather definitely disagreed, but Lianyi was determined, and ran away with someone overnight over the wall, and when she came back, she was already pregnant.

The child in her belly is He Qingrou.

Uncooked rice cooked cooked rice, grandpa was so angry that he vomited blood, but the daughter was looking for death, and father He couldn't afford to kneel in front of Lian's house, vowing to promise to be good to Lian Yi, grandpa had no choice but to agree to let the two get married.After marriage, Father He, according to him, kept his duty and learned how to pick and fry tea honestly. He looked like a good husband and father.

After the grandfather died, the two tea mountains belonged to Lianyi, but Lianyi entrusted them all to Father He to take care of them.

It was this decision that led to a series of changes that followed.

With grandpa not around, no one can hold down Father He, and the restlessness in his flesh and blood begins to make trouble.He likes to gamble, and now he has two tea mountains, relying on his family's wealth, he recklessly squanders in the casino.

In just two or three years, two tea mountains became one piece of land.

Once the family was poor, Father He became honest again.

In He Qingrou's memory, this was a precious time of tenderness. He's father tried his best to make up for the two mothers and daughters, guarding the last piece of land, and the family lived well.

But when He Qingrou was seven years old, Lian Yi fell ill, very seriously. At that time, the medical technology was underdeveloped, and the doctors in the county couldn't find out why, so they could only tell them that there was no cure.

Before He Qingrou and He's father could get away from the shock and fear, Lian Yi passed away.

When she was young, she didn't understand that it was just a disease, how could it take away Lian Yi's life so quickly, now that she thinks about it, it has something to do with the depression of heart disease, after all, the two tea mountains, the ancestral business accumulated by the He family for many years, all failed in the hands of her husband.

After Lian Yi left, Father He became more diligent and kind to her.Then, when she was ten years old, Xie Hongling came in.

He's father anxiously took her into the house and taught her to call someone.

He Qingrou knew Xie Hongling, she called out: "Auntie."

A year later, He Jie was born.

Xie Hongling is a qualified stepmother, she has always treated the two children equally.And she never beat or scolded He Qingrou, she was soft-spoken, never even said a word of serious words, but it was the opposite for He Jie, if He Jie did something bad, she would beat him and punish him, punish him to kneel in the courtyard, admit his mistake before you can eat.

At this time, He Qingrou would secretly feed He Jiesai, so He Jie especially liked this half-sister.Xie Hongling saw it, so she wouldn't say anything, but He Jie's punishment would be increased.

When she was young, He Qingrou didn't understand why, but when she grew up, she realized the difference between intimacy and distance.

When she was in college, she only went back for winter and summer vacations a year. After coming out with He's father, she had a cold war for more than a year, and rarely returned to H City.

He's father still doesn't understand how she is gay, and always thinks that he is influenced by him. After all, he is a bad guy, and he hopes that He Qingrou can become normal.

He Qingrou couldn't explain it to him, and if he talked too much, he would get annoyed.

Looking at the rolling hills outside, she sighed softly.

"Why are you sighing?" Lin Nai didn't know when to appear.

"No," He Qingrou quickly returned to normal, she looked behind, Ye Xun and the others had already entered the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks, "I'll help them."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to bypass Lin Nai, but was pulled back.

Linnai hugged her hard, and the movement was very light, only for a few seconds.

She was stunned for a moment, then stood there in a daze.

Lin Nai naturally didn't know what was wrong with her, but couldn't see the sad look in her eyebrows and eyes.

On the second day, all finishing work was over, and all Dongning employees returned to the company at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Because He Qingrou was going to pick up He's father and the others, He Qingrou didn't have time to make a report, so he had to take the materials home and do it when he had time in the evening. At 04:30, she drove to the station.

This Sunday, the station was very crowded. She waited outside for more than twenty minutes but still didn't see anyone. Looking around, she locked the car door and walked into the square.

Halfway through, someone on the left shouted, "Sister!"

She tilted her head, and He Jie was waving at her. It's been a long time since the child has grown taller, thin and dark, full of energy.Father He and Xie Hongling stood beside him, and all three of them were carrying big and small bags.

He Qingrou went over: "Xiaojie," then looked at the other two, "Dad, aunt."

Father He responded with a smile, "Qingrou."

He has also changed quite a lot, with a few more wrinkles on his face. Due to long-term exposure to the sun, his face is dark and he looks older than his peers.He carried two small bags on his shoulders, which were tea and hometown specialties for He Qingrou.

Xie Hongling nodded, she has always been like this, her face is not salty, she treats everyone like this.

"Did you wait for a long time?" Father He asked, He Qingrou wanted to pick up something, but he refused to let him, pulled the cloth bag on his shoulder, and walked quickly.

"After a while, the car was just ahead," He Qingrou replied, Father He refused to let her take something, so she went to pick up what was in Xie Hongling's hand, Xie Hongling gave her a small bag, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

It’s probably six o’clock when I get home. I don’t have any vegetables at home. It’s a waste of time to go to the supermarket to buy them and make them myself. It’s more convenient to go out to eat.

"It's fine, just eat whatever you want," Father He said.

"Where are Xiaojie and Auntie?"

"It's up to you." Xie Hongling said.

"I want to eat home-cooked food," He Jie grinned, bent over, and took the small bag in He Qingrou's hand, "Go out to eat, I heard that the taste of Nancheng is quite different from that at home, and I will stay here for four years, just right Go try it."

He Qingrou looked at him, and he blinked at He Qingrou.

He Qingrou's face became much softer, and he asked, "Why did you apply for the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China?"

According to He Jie's estimated score, he should be able to apply for a better university.

"I want to learn computer science. The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is famous for its computer science major. It's a little closer to City H, so it's convenient to go home," He Jie said truthfully. He moved closer and added quietly, "And it's in the same place as you, so you can often see it."

He Qingrou's lips moved, and he glanced at Xie Hongling, wanting to say something but in the end he didn't.

The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China is also 985, and now the computer major is very popular. He Jie chose this one, which is actually very good.

When they arrived at the parking place, they put away their things, and He Qingrou drove back.

He's father and Xie Hongling were both reticent people, and she was also quiet. He Jie kept talking along the way. He asked about He Qingrou's recent situation, and talked about some family affairs. He's father occasionally added a few words, He Qingrou listened.

Back in the community, they moved their things into the house, and after a short rest, He Qingrou took them to a nearby Chinese restaurant for dinner.

The owner of the restaurant knew He Qingrou well, and seeing that she and He Jie looked alike, he knew that she was bringing her family, so she hurriedly invited them in and opened a small private room.

The dishes were ordered by He Jie, Father He and Xie Hongling had no objections, He Qingrou was not picky about food, she could order anything.

While waiting for the food, he might have finished talking on the way, so He Jie became a little quiet, and no one in the private room spoke.

He Qingrou stood up and poured water for them.

When I sat down, my phone vibrated, a message from Lin Nai.

She secretly clicked on WeChat on the table, and sent a photo of Wuliang, the orange fat group nestled on the car seat, tilted her head, and looked at the camera with big black eyes suspiciously.

In the lower left corner of the photo, there is a blurry phantom, which seems to be Lin Nai's hand. She is attracting Wu Liang's attention and took this photo.

The corners of He Qingrou's lips lifted slightly.
