Xiangyu

Even though he was very dissatisfied with Xu Aojun's remarks and attitude, Qiao Yusong felt ashamed because of the cram school, and it was not the first time he heard Xu Aojun make such remarks, so he did not conflict with her after all.

During dinner, Xu Aojun received a call from Qiao Zhenhai, saying that he was already in the army riding back to his hometown, and he would be back in Yuetang in two days.

In such a cold day, Qiao Zhenhai still chose to ride a motorcycle across provinces to return home. Qiao Yusong was both distressed and worried, and said, "The snowstorm is not yet over. Is it too dangerous to ride a motorcycle?"

"How do you come back without riding a motorcycle? Train tickets are so hard to buy, who has the time to queue up at the station to buy tickets in the middle of the night? Scalper tickets are very expensive, and you may not be able to buy a hard seat if you double the price." Xu Aojun brought him food. , "You have this kind of filial piety, so let's use it in your studies. When you are admitted to university, your father's painstaking efforts to work outside the country all year round will not be in vain. Hey, how is the cram school? Did you ask?"

Qiao Yusong was embarrassed and replied: "I asked, class will resume tomorrow."

"Look, luckily I asked you to ask. Eat more vegetables! Add ribs, these ribs are extremely expensive, if you eat leftovers, it won't taste good next time, eat fresh ones." After Xu Aojun finished speaking, he went to his own bowl There is a large cluster of mung bean sprouts in it.It was made by herself at home when it snowed a few days ago.

In the evening, after Qiao Yusong took a shower, he heard the sound of news broadcasting from the TV when he passed by the living room.

The report mentioned the army of motorcycles returning home from the Suiwan area every year. Qiao Yusong stopped and looked at the news.

In the data, the army of cyclists is majestic on the road, and the workers returning home are full of dust in the fierce cold wind.

Their motorcycles are all loaded with clothes and New Year's goods for returning home, and some people have pots and pans on their cars for stops in the middle.

On the one hand, the news reported the hard work and exhaustion of the returning army, and on the other hand, it reported various violations that occurred on their way home.Many vehicles were carrying too much cargo, overloaded, and a family of three returned home together. The little baby was sandwiched between the parents, and the three of them were squeezed on the same motorcycle. The traffic police found and stopped it, which made the news.

Perhaps due to the consideration of the Chinese New Year atmosphere, the news did not interview those who violated rules and regulations when interviewing migrant workers who returned home.What the news wants to express more is the hard work of going out to work and the joy of looking forward to the reunion at home.

"Look, parents all over the world are like this. Poor parents all over the world! You usually don't know how to be considerate to your parents, work hard, and only think about eating, drinking and having fun." Facing the news on TV, Xu Aojun suddenly commented.

Qiao Yusong was puzzled, and only after reading the news interview did he know what was going on.

It turned out that the reporter in the news was interviewing a migrant worker who went out of the province to work.It was an uncle who was about the same age as Qiao Zhenhai, his dark skin was full of dust and vicissitudes of life, and the lines written by the years were very clearly expressed through the smile on his face.

"Go to earn money so that your children can go to college. Hehe." The uncle said.

The reporter asked, "Is the child in high school now?"

Speaking of children, the smile on Uncle's face became even brighter, and his tone was full of pride: "Yes, senior year, today is the college entrance examination."

"Then I wish him high school this year! You have worked hard, be careful on the road!" The reporter cheered up and down.

The migrant worker always smiled and repeated gratefully: "Thank you, thank you."

"Hey, isn't this Shao Junhui's father?" Seeing the interviewee appearing on the local news, Zhou Meiqi smiled with great interest, "Okay, it's all on TV."

Seeing her classmate's father appearing on the TV screen, Song Yuqiao was also surprised, but Zhou Meiqi's tone seemed to be ready to find a bag of melon seeds at any time, knocking them while watching a play, which made Song Yuqiao speechless.

Song Yuqiao ate with his head down, but didn't answer.

Hearing his wife's words, Song Zhishan asked curiously, "Who is Shao Junhui?"

Hearing this, Zhou Meiqi glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "Can you care about your child's life? Shao Junhui is Song Yuqiao's classmate! Before Song Yuqiao was in the third year of high school, he was the number one in No. [-] Middle School!"

He was reprimanded by his wife after only asking a question. Song Zhishan muttered, "How can I control so much? Just know that Song Yuqiao is number one."

"Tch." Zhou Meiqi sneered disapprovingly, and quickly changed into a gossip expression, leaned closer to the dinner table and said, "You don't know, this Shao Junhui has a bit of a grudge with our son. At the time when No. [-] Middle School recommended recommended students, there were only two places, originally scheduled The son of Shao Junhui and Director Wan of the Land Bureau, but after our son entered No. [-] Middle School, the school replaced Shao Junhui with our son just to be on the safe side. So, this kid surnamed Shao might hate our son!"

Seeing Zhou Meiqi finished speaking, Song Yuqiao raised an eyebrow at him proudly, and couldn't help but said indifferently, "He didn't."

Zhou Meiqi squinted at him, and her words were nothing more than a joke at his innocence: "Will he tell you if he has anything? Stupid!"

Song Yuqiao silently rolled his eyes in his heart and didn't bother to pay attention.

After hearing this, Song Zhishan was puzzled and said, "Why do you change it like this?"

"Didn't you say it just now? Just to be on the safe side!" Zhou Meiqi curled her lips in disgust, and then explained in a serious manner, "Winter camp is not a college entrance examination, what they test is comprehensive quality! That's a hard-educated person, except for exams, what else?" No way. How is it like our son? Throughout the year, this award and that award are different!"

Instead of following Zhou Meiqi's train of thought, Song Zhishan shook his head and sighed, "Oh, the children from the poor family just pointed at this, and it turned out like this."

Zhou Meiqi was unhappy after hearing this, and said: "Hey, you said that. Could it be that our son is not worthy of being recommended?"

Song Zhishan said: "Then can we replace the son of the director?"

She chuckled and said, "Oh, what a bold tone! No. [-] Middle School wants to acquire land in the Economic and Technological Development Zone, expand its enrollment, and kill the son of the Land and Resources Bureau. Do you want more land? People who are not dared to mess with the school, you let Please mess with your own son."

"Wan Jingshuang has been one of the city's top three honors for three consecutive years, has won the first prize in the mathematics olympiad, and is usually in the top ten in the city's exams. It's normal to be recommended." Hearing Zhou Meiqi talk about her friends based on imagination, Song Yuqiao couldn't help but said again .

Zhou Meiqi probably received the signal of Song Yuqiao's displeasure, and immediately responded: "Yes, yes, yes. So, the test is about comprehensive quality."

Listening to her tone, Song Yuqiao clearly didn't agree with his words, just to take care of his emotions, he suddenly lost his appetite.He put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm full."

Back in the room, Song Yuqiao took out the battery board from the charger and put it into the phone.

Not long after turning it on, he received a message from Wan Jingshuang, which was sent half an hour ago.

Wan Jingshuang: Going to see a house on Saturday?The one next to No. [-] Middle School.Xiao Nan and I will accompany you, and Ah Hui and his girlfriend will also go.

Song Yuqiao frowned, and replied: What are so many people doing?If you're not free, I'll go by myself.

Wan Jingshuang: Haha, I'm free, I didn't make any arrangements for that day.As for Ah Hui and his girlfriend, they said they wanted to see what was going on, and they also wanted to rent a house.Don't you want to rent together?In my opinion, renting with them is fine (as long as you don't mind).Everyone is acquaintances, and if you rent the master bedroom, if they rent the second bedroom, they will spend less money.You also know the situation at Hui's house!

Song Yuqiao thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.He doesn't have much social experience, and he is young, so he can easily be underestimated and perfunctory by the other party when he follows the agency to see the rented house.With Wan Jingshuang and Shao Junhui around, at least there are a lot of people.Furthermore, Shao Junhui is a little older and is already an adult.

He replied to Wan Jingshuang, saying thank you, and the two agreed to meet at a place on Saturday, and then they would go to see the house together.

The winter vacation in high school is already short, and it is even shorter in the last semester.

Ninth Middle School is an ordinary high school that is not well-known in Yuetang City, but the school has a "fighting spirit" that students cannot understand.

Even before the end of the semester, the students of No. [-] Middle School exploded on the Internet.

But with the start of the winter vacation and the advent of the snowstorm, everyone's attention is on other things.

As Chinese New Year is approaching and school is about to start, "old topics" are brought up again, and the forums and groups are full of dissatisfied voices from students taking the exam.

Zhu Heng: No. [-] Middle School doesn't start until the fifteenth day, so it's still a provincial priority!

Huang Xinfan: Hehe, it’s as if we start school a week earlier than No. [-] Middle School, so we can take a few more exams than them.Why are school leaders so whimsical?How about your own students, don't you have any idea?

Wu Hui: MD, I haven't finished my homework yet!

Zhu Heng: Haha, the writing is not finished, is it meaningful?

Ling Daoan: The school is also for our own good.And after the new year, what are you doing at home?Do you listen to your parents nagging?

Huang Xinfan: [Zow to bow] [Zow to bow] This awareness is the awareness of the key points of the exam.

Qiao Yusong read the group chat records for a long time, and when he came across the sentence that the monitor said, he had the idea of ​​agreeing in his heart.He also wanted to start school earlier after the Chinese New Year, so that he would not have to listen to Xu Aojun playing mahjong at home.Moreover, it is much more convenient to rent and return comics after returning to school.The comic shop is behind the No. [-] Middle School. Qiao Yusong used to go in for a stroll on his way home.

When the students talked about the start of school and the New Year, Qiao Yusong thought that the comics had to be returned.

There was a snow disaster before, and I was in arrears for a few days.This is force majeure, the owner of the comic shop may not count his fee, but then he was delayed for another week by tutoring, which is definitely more money.

On Saturday, Qiao Yusong stuffed all the comic books that needed to be returned into his schoolbag and returned them to the comic shop.If he doesn't pay it back, the comic shop will be closed during the Chinese New Year, let alone pay it back.

On the way to the comic shop, Qiao Yusong thought about renting a few more books to read during the Chinese New Year, otherwise it would be boring.Just, I wonder if there are any new works by Yukiko Noda?He likes the cartoonist's painting style and storyboard very much. It looks comfortable and advanced, and the plot is also very good.

"Hey! Long time no see!" While Qiao Yusong was thinking about renting some comics, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Qiao Yusong was startled, and when he turned his head and saw Xie Yongxiang who was chasing him, his heart tightened.

"Hi." He maintained a calm surface.

Xie Yongxiang smiled and said, "Go to a comic shop?"

Qiao Yusong nodded, and found that there was a closed acne on the center of his eyebrows, which was red, making his eyebrows look more heroic.

"Hey, me too. It snowed a few days ago, and I didn't return it for a few days. Nick shouldn't charge more money, right? It's impossible to return the book in the snow." He said lazily, clearly sure that it was the book. in this way.

Qiao Yusong smiled and said, "I think so too."

"I recommended your "Answer to the Impossible" last time, have you read it?" Xie Yongxiang asked.

"Well, I saw it, it's pretty good." Qiao Yusong lied, he was not interested in reasoning comics, because he couldn't keep up with the protagonist's thinking and logic, and he thought that comic was boring.

Xie Yongxiang proudly said: "Isn't it? I think Watanabe is smart, but he's too arrogant. If it wasn't for the protagonist's aura, he would have been out of the game long ago. Or Yanqi is better, what do you think?"

Watanabe and Iwaki are the male number one and the second male number in the manga respectively. If there is still something in this manga that can attract Qiao Yusong, it is probably the "love and kill" and sympathy between the two of them.He couldn't tell which of them was smarter. After thinking about it, he said, "Well, I also like Iwaki better. His personality is better than Watanabe's."

"Ah?" Xie Yongxiang probably didn't want to discuss personality, so he questioned it exaggeratedly.

Qiao Yusong could only smile embarrassingly at this.

While talking, the two arrived at the "You Ke" comic shop.

The owner is Nick. He is an uncle with a mustache and exaggerated muscles. He likes to wear racerback vests in summer to show off his fit body.

Before Qiao Yusong was in high school, he didn't know about this comic shop.He often goes to another house, which is closer to his own.

Qiao Yusong discovered this place when he was freshman in high school.

It wasn't by chance, but it was an accident - that afternoon, he followed Xie Yongxiang who was coming home from school, and walked into this store.

Qiao Yusong admitted that at least before the third year of high school, a large part of the reason why he chose this comic shop was because of Xie Yongxiang.

However, ever since "You Ke" set aside a special shelf for Tanmei comics, Qiao Yusong came here no longer because of Xie Yongxiang.

It's not because the Tanmei comics completely attracted Qiao Yusong's attention, but because he confirmed one thing.

"Hey, didn't you say last time that Ryutaro Nakanishi's new works will be included? Why not?" Xie Yongxiang paced back and forth in front of the bookshelves, asking unhappily.

Nick numbered the new book behind the counter and said with a smile, "The store has limited funds."

Xie Yongxiang put the comics he planned to borrow in front of Nick for registration, glanced at the new books on the counter, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's Yukiko Noda?"

"Danmei is rented out. The Chinese and Western ones are relatively less visited by people." Nick explained with a smile.

"Two big men fall in love, tired and crooked, disgusting to death." Xie Yongxiang wrinkled his nose in disgust, and said to Qiao Yusong, "Hey, do you think so?"

Qiao Yusong never took out the comics in his schoolbag, and smiled faintly upon hearing this.

Xie Yongxiang didn't get any satisfactory results, and after renewing the lease of the manga, he left in a dispirited mood.

After confirming that he was gone, Qiao Yusong took out the comics and put them on the counter.He turned around and took Noda Yukiko's new work from the bookshelf, and stood in front of the counter to register.

While Qiao Yusong was writing, Nick jokingly said, "Hey, lost love?"

Qiao Yusong's writing paused, he raised his head and glanced at him indifferently, and said, "What?"

"It's not worth it to like a straight man. Even if you succeed in breaking up, his whole family will not let you go, why bother?" Nick seemed to have seen through everything, and the old god comforted him.

Qiao Yusong still pretended not to understand, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Hey, this." Nick flipped through one of the comics returned by Qiao Yusong, and pointed to a storyboard of a public bathhouse. "Are you interested in the 'fishing ground' here? We also have it in our city."

After listening, Qiao Yusong was startled, and blurted out: "How is it possible?"

After successfully arousing his interest, Nick laughed and said, "Did you really think that comics are all imaginary? There are! There are two on Jiefang Road. How about it, are you interested? I'll show you around."

"Not interested." Qiao Yusong finished the registration, put the book in the bag, turned and left.

Qiao Yusong walked out of the comic shop with a cold face, which really surprised Song Yuqiao.

Song Yuqiao stopped amidst the chatter and laughter of his friends, and looked at Qiao Yusong who was walking towards him in astonishment, never expecting to meet him after the viewing.

However, Qiao Yusong didn't notice him at all. Even though Song Yuqiao was looking at him, he passed Song Yuqiao as the two got closer.

Song Yuqiao seldom stared at someone, but seeing that Qiao Yusong didn't recognize him, he couldn't help frowning.

He looked back at Qiao Yusong's walking back, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Xiao Qiao, what's the matter?" Liu Yunan found that Song Yuqiao was absent-minded, and asked.

Song Yuqiao looked at a few friends who accompanied him to look at the house, their eyes were curious and concerned, and he replied flatly: "It's nothing, I have admitted the wrong person."
