"Well, the same as before?"
"Yes."
Before Huo Chengzhou did something, Qiao mingteng had gone to the shelf. He took the ice cream and handed it to Joan.
"Every time the child comes to the supermarket, he will buy an ice cream and eat it on the road. It has become a habit in winter and summer." Qiao mingteng said.
Huo Chengzhou nodded and the three went to the cashier area.
The natural checkout was Huo Chengzhou. Then the three turned back. As soon as they got on the bus, Joan opened the ice cream, looked forward to eating, and tut tut said, "delicious."
Huo Chengzhou's vision falls on the ice cream bag. It is a pearl milk tea ice cream.
He kept it in his heart silently.
……
After returning to the piano house, Qiao mingteng went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Joan planned to help and was kicked out by him. He only asked Huo Chengzhou to go in and do chores.
Joan patted Huo Chengzhou on the shoulder with some guilt. An ignorant old gnaw like him hasn't even entered the kitchen. At present, he has to be dragged in to do chores.
Joanne was afraid that he would quit.
Aware of her mood, Huo Chengzhou smiled: "this little thing can't beat me. If you feel sorry, prepare more lullaby for me."
Joanne nodded, "OK."
She added in a low voice, "hard work."
Looking at the playful and careful expression between her eyebrows and eyes, Huo Chengzhou felt a touch of satisfaction.
Inexplicably satisfied, this feeling of being needed by her and making her feel guilty made him very satisfied.
It was as if he enjoyed the feeling that made her feel indebted.
Huo Chengzhou raised his hand and rubbed her head, with a word from his heart: "good."
A warm current spread from the top of her head to all parts of her body, which stunned her and turned her face red quietly.
Qiao mingteng looked at the interaction between the two and finally brought up a smile. He really looked like a newly married couple.
……
Huo Chengzhou didn't contact the kitchen, and Qiao Minghui didn't intend to embarrass him. He just asked him to help pick vegetables and hand over tools, while talking to him.
Huo Chengzhou felt that he probably just wanted to chat with him, so he listened very carefully.
"Joan is a clever boy."
Qiao mingteng said while cutting vegetables: "she learns the piano several times faster than others. She has a piano at home, but it's all for Qiao Xue. She has to wait until Qiao Xue doesn't practice for a while to practice."
"Don't say, it's like squeezing a sponge. She plays better than Qiao Xue in the practice time squeezed out bit by bit!"
Qiao mingteng looked proud and pleased: "I knew the child was wonderful! Sure enough, she was admitted to the very harsh aus Conservatory of music by her own strength!"
Huo Chengzhou nodded: "yes, she plays the piano very well."
"Her piano can't be said to be very good. It should be very excellent. But when she was admitted to the Conservatory of music, I was happy and worried."
Qiao mingteng sighed slightly: "although you can get a full scholarship after you go to college, the cost of admission is not small, isn't it?"
Huo Chengzhou was surprised: "shouldn't her tuition be paid by Uncle Joe?"
Qiao Minghui was stunned: "didn't Joan tell you that she was kicked out by the Qiao family after her 18th birthday? And she went out clean?"
Huo Chengzhou suddenly felt astringent and shook his head: "No."
He left the Qiao family at the age of 18 and just graduated from high school. Huo Chengzhou really can't think how she survived.
The bottom of his eyes scratched a touch of heartache: "then?"
