His girl came, but he was stuck in the mire, covered in dirt.
He didn't dare to like her, didn't dare to respond, for fear of dirtying her.
Nan Jun lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. According to Qiao Yun's behavior in the past, he probably wouldn't refuse her when she confessed her love!
Could it be that he fell asleep?
And the person who hadn't slept all night was packing his luggage with his red eyes. He turned off his mobile phone and stuffed it into the down jacket, and he folded the snow-white down jacket and put it in the suitcase.
After dragging the suitcase and getting off the train, Qiao Yun shrank himself into the airy black cotton coat again.
The familiar path was exactly the same as when I left, and thick snow had been piled to both sides of the road.
People in the village don't like to go out in winter, so they burn a warm kang, and the whole family nests on the top of the kang, watching TV and chatting, which is the happiest thing for them.
"Is the Chen family kid on vacation?"
Everyone in the village replaced Qiao Yun as the boy of the Chen family because the woman his father married was named Chen.
Qiao Yun couldn't figure it out, his father could be considered a good-looking man, how could he fall in love with a woman like Chen Lin?
Apart from a pretty face, this Chen Lin is really useless.
"what!"
Qiao Yun responded lukewarmly, he really didn't like this title.
"Brother Yun is back?"
Li Li, who was sweeping snow in the yard, saw Qiao Yun from a long distance, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Well, why are you sweeping snow?"
Qiao Yun was dissatisfied and forgot to glance into the room, and looked in through the window. The woman was watching TV on the kang with his sister in her arms!
"Your aunt is not in good health, she's fine, and the yard is not big, so it will be cleaned up soon."
Li Li felt ashamed about the son he brought, but others spoke lightly, and gave birth to a daughter with Chen Lin, so all his thoughts were put on his wife and daughter, and Qiao Yun's position in his heart was not so important.
"Go into the house, Dad will cook for you."
Li Li put down the broom in his hand and reached out to pick up Qiao Yun's suitcase, but Qiao Yun dodged it sideways.
Along the way, Qiao Yun's hands were already frozen, and the armrest of the suitcase was freezing cold. He didn't want Li Li to help him, and besides, there were things he cherished inside, and he didn't want others to touch it.
Li Li withdrew his hand in embarrassment. The relationship between their father and son seemed to have been like this since the birth of their daughter.
Hearing a voice from outside, Chen Chang stretched out half of his body to look out.
"Brother is back?"
Seeing Qiao Yun's figure, Chen Chang hurriedly jumped off the kang, pulled his shoes and ran out.
Chen Lin also took a look out, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
I really didn't expect that this money-losing product turned out to look better the longer it got.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chen Lin's face.
"Brother Yun is back? Hurry up and get warm on the kang."
Chen Lin's rare kind words made Li Li very happy. He knew that Chen Lin had always disliked Qiao Yun. If Qiao Yun didn't take so much money from the family every year, she would have sold the child long ago.
"Brother, what good things did you bring me?"
As Chen Chang said, he ran towards Qiao Yun's suitcase, reaching out to open the suitcase.
Qiao Yun turned to hide and went directly to Westinghouse.
This time, Chen Chang didn't want to, and as soon as he curled his mouth, he started to cry loudly: "Wow... Brother, he hides delicious food, so he won't give it to me...Wow..."
The voice was so ear-piercing that it gave Qiao Yun a headache.
Qiao Yun hid the suitcase under the cabinet, took out a paper bag from the innermost layer of the schoolbag, and walked out.
Looking at the things in Qiao Yun's hands, Chen Chang stopped crying, and both Chen Lin and Li Li had "loving" smiles on their faces, not to mention being sarcastic.
"The 20,000 yuan is a scholarship for this semester."
Qiao Yun put the money on the edge of the kang, his red fingers were itchy in this warm room, it was extremely uncomfortable!
"I just said that brother Yun is promising, right? Hurry up and cut two catties of lean meat at Mrs. Zhang's house, and make dumplings for brother Yun at night."
Chen Lin held up the paper bag with both hands, took out a paper bag from inside, and handed it to Li Li, with a wrinkled smile on his face.
"Mother, mother, I want it too, I want it too..."
Chen Chang was bouncing around to get enough of what Chen Lin was holding. Although she didn't study very well, she knew that the money was a good thing, and she could buy everything she liked.
"You go with your father and let him go to the store to weigh two catties of biscuits and one catty of sugar for you."
Chen Lin was in a good mood, and since he already doted on Chen Chang, he was naturally responsive to her requests.
"Father, did you hear what mother said?"
Chen Chang hugged Li Li's waist with both hands, his little face flushed with joy.
"You little greedy cat!"
Li Li pampered Chen Chang's little nose, but Qiao Yun couldn't tolerate the warmth of the family.
"Bring me another bottle of wine."
Chen Lin yelled at Li Li who was about to turn out of the yard.
Qiao Yun quietly backed out and returned to the cold West Room.
There is no hot kang in this room, no warmth, only a small wooden bed that just fits him.
Qiao Yun rubbed his cold hands, took out a book from his schoolbag, and read it carefully.
Time passed by, until Li Li walked in with a bowl of steaming dumplings, Qiao Yun lifted his head buried in the book.
"Eat it while it's hot."
Putting the bowl on the dilapidated small wooden table, Li Li didn't invite Qiao Yun to eat there.
"Um."
When Qiao Yun went out to wash his hands, Li Li had already left when he came in again, only the steaming bowl of dumplings was placed on the table.
Qiao Yun walked out with an empty bowl, and a pile of bowls and chopsticks had been soaked in the basin.
Rolling up his sleeves, listening to the sound of the TV playing inside, Qiao Yun was washing the dishes in the cold water.
"what!"
Feeling someone touch her waist, Qiao Yun exclaimed, and when she turned her head to look, she happened to bump into Chen Lin's wretched face.
Qiao Yun was afraid for a while, but more disgusted.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Chen Lin had no good intentions for him.
Now that Qiao Yun has grown up, he naturally has the idea of defending against men and women.
Li Li came out upon hearing the sound, looked at Qiao Yun and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay."
Qiao Yun shook his head lightly, but didn't say anything more in front of Li Li.
But at night, Qiao Yun was not calm anymore.
I don't know if it's an illusion, or the wind and snow outside are too loud, he always feels the sound of knocking on the door.
The whole person huddled under the quilt, hugging the thermos bottle he filled before going to bed, Qiao Yun trembled a little.
The shivering was not from the cold, but from fear.
During the day, Chen Lin's smiling face and the feeling on his waist flooded into Qiao Yun's mind, making him want to vomit.
"Nanjun..."
Qiao Yun couldn't help murmuring, and what he called out was Nan Jun's name.
