Chapter 100: Bring green jewelry when you get married...

"What should I do if I can't finish the cake?" Song Qiaoxi bulged her cheeks and was lapped in her arms by Chu Jin, with little room for activity.

Chu Jinfei let her sit on his lap, and there was no meat on his lap, and it was so comfortable to sit up.

She twisted her waist in anguish, and tugged the silk skirt on her body. After being rubbed by Chu Jin for a long time, the skirt was obviously full of pleats.

Why don't boys cherish good-looking clothes so much? Xi Xi is very distressed.

"It's fine if you can't finish it." Chu Jin dug a small piece with a small fork and fed it to Song Qiaoxi's mouth.

The cake is caramel sea salt flavor, sweet, salty and not greasy. It is Song Qiaoxi's favorite compound flavor. It is the first time she has eaten this flavor of cake.

Looking back, Song Qiaoxi asked seriously: "If it is not refrigerated, will it be broken if it is brought back to Beijing tomorrow? Mom also likes to eat cakes, I really want to give her a taste..."

"We'll look for it again when we return to Beijing. There should be other cake shops that make this kind of cake and buy it for Aunt Qiao." Chu Jin took a peck at her chin, and he also took the same ring on his right **** and stretched out his hand to pat it. Pat the back of her hand, "You love your family so much and need someone to take care of you so much, how do you live abroad?"

"That's because you are by your side. If you are not there, I will instantly become another me, the me you don't know..." Song Qiaoxi freed her hand with the ring, she was not used to it yet With something on his finger, he picked up the small silver fork and reluctantly dug a piece of cake.

In another memory of herself who grew up in the orphanage, she seemed to have become vague like a dream. Song Qiaoxi could no longer tell which is true and which is false.

She only knows that what she has now is true, and living independently is not a difficult task for her. She has never been the kind of girl who can't bear hardship because of her squeamishness.

The next day, the minibus picked up by the ground took the group of candidates who had completed the SAT to the airport.

Chu Jin was very careful and asked Song Qiaoxi to put the high heels and silk skirt in his suitcase when packing.

Because Aunt Qiao habitually helps her pack her luggage, she will take away the clothes from the past few days and wash her baby girl when she gets home, but Aunt Qiao and Uncle Song never touch his luggage.

Song Qiaoxi also put away the ring, put it in the compartment of her schoolbag, and put it in a small velvet cloth bag.

The two children continued to keep this secret silently in front of their parents.

-

During the summer vacation of the second and third year of high school, Chu Jin was already 18 years old and successfully passed the driver's license.

Song Qiaoxi's SAT score came out. The first time she took the test, she got a perfect score of 2400. She scored 2000, which is a very good result for the first test.

Chu Jin scored 2390 points on the test, which was only ten minutes away from the full score. He got it without taking the cram school or naked test, which shocked Song Qiaoxi's tutoring class teacher.

TOEFL Song Qiaoxi took the 115 test, and achieved very good results under the completely unrelenting self-study, tutoring classes and private tutoring by Chu Jin.

Not two months after the start of high school, Song Qiaoxi went to Macau again.

This time, Chu Jin had a self-recruitment interview, so she couldn't accompany her, and she didn't need Chu Jin to accompany her. This time, Song Qiaoxi took the 2200 SAT test for the second time.

With this score, you can apply for most majors in the top 20 schools in the United States, including Ivy League schools.

After that, Song Qiaoxi prepared a collection of photography works, and after processing the university application, she began to return to class review.

Whether or not she is going to college in China, Song Qiaoxi doesn't mean to underestimate the college entrance examination. She agrees with her parents that the college entrance examination is a part of youth.

Young life, if you don't go through the college entrance examination, your life is not perfect.

Chu Jin gave up self-recruitment, because it was not his favorite major. His goal was very clear. The Department of Computer Science at National Tsing Hua University was devoting himself to preparing for the college entrance examination.

In the next semester of high school, what surprised the Song family was that Song Qiaoxi received an acceptance letter from the Ivy League school. In addition to the photography major of SVA, she also received the photography major of Yale, UCLA photography major, and MICA photography major. Both MICA and UCLA gave generous scholarships.

After comprehensive consideration for a long time, although SVA is in New York, Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin both like them, and the American drama "Friends", which has been played several times, is also in Manhattan, New York. Faced with future academic development and career planning, she finally chose to provide Scholarship for UCLA Photography Major.

Of course, there is also a small part of selfishness. Song Qiaoxi doesn't like cold places. She knows that Chu Jin doesn't like it either.

She even yearned for the sunshine in California, and the little girl grew up in an inland city, hoping to go to college in a place with sea.

At the beginning of May 2008, there was only less than a month left before the college entrance examination. The atmosphere at school or at home was nothing but tense.

In the last semester of high school, Mr. Chu's language function basically returned to normal. The first thing he arranged was for the assistant to deploy a nanny car and driver to take the two children to and from school.

Song Jianguo and Qiao Qin did not refuse to resign because it was a critical moment in the third year of high school. This would save the two children a lot of time on the road and give them more rest.

The capital in May is neither hot nor cold, and the climate is suitable. This is the season of vigor and vitality at the end of spring and beginning of summer.

During her lunch break in the afternoon, Song Qiaoxi always felt a little dizzy. When she was a child, she often got motion sickness and seasickness, and she was very sensitive to a little shaking.

She also asked her deskmate, "Zhou Jie, do you feel the school building is shaking?"

"No, don't you be sleepy?" Zhou Jie stretched out and poked Song Qiaoxi in the cheek, disapproving.

"Oh..." Song Qiaoxi really felt that she had just felt dizzy.

That day, as soon as she and Chu Jin arrived home, they listened to the news on the TV at home, and both of them were stunned.

Mother Song was also at home. Just about to turn down the TV sound, the phone on hand rang, she wiped her tears, and quickly picked it up, "Hello, husband?"

"Daughter-in-law, I have to work overtime today. Don't wait for me to eat at night. You and the children will eat first." When the amplifier was turned on, Father Song said in a hurry.

On May 12, 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake occurred with an M7, 8 magnitude earthquake, and some urban residents in Dongcheng District, Haidian District and other cities also felt a slight shaking.

Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin sat in front of the TV for a long time that day.

Qiao Qin hesitated for a moment, and did not urge them to go upstairs to study as usual. The children are older and the world is not in a vacuum. Natural and man-made disasters and the impermanence of life are always to be experienced.

"It's too pitiful..." Song Qiaoxi held back her tears and said in a low voice, "Are there any ways we can help them? I donate all the New Year's Eve money that I saved."

"It'll get better," because at home, Chu Jin hesitated for a while, did not hold Song Qiaoxi's hand, patted her knee lightly, and then reassured, "It will all get better."

Xu has been with Song Qiaoxi, who is like Little Sun, for a long time, and Chu Jin feels that his heart is getting softer and softer. This disaster has also touched him deeply.

After dinner, Chu Jin and Song Qiaoxi went downstairs to take out the trash. Mother Song always let them take the opportunity to spend fifteen minutes outside, take a walk, and then come up again to ensure a combination of work and rest.

As soon as the two went out, they found someone squatting on the ground beside the elevator corridor and crying.

The sensor light turned on, and she saw clearly that it was the neighbor next door, and it should be the hostess.

They have lived in their home in Beijing for three years. They don't even know the names of their neighbors. When they see them occasionally, they always enter the house with a cold face and nodding their heads.

"Sister, you, are you okay..." Song Qiaoxi couldn't help asking, and walked over and patted on the shoulder of the neighbor who was properly maintained, with almost no signs of age.

"My parents are in Sichuan, not far from the epicenter, and their phones have been unable to get through..." The neighbor was crying, holding the phone in his hand, "What should I do, the phone has been blocked, I dare not be at home Hit, for fear of scaring the child..."

"Sister..." Song Qiaoxi trembled slightly when she heard it. She wanted to comfort, but she couldn't think of a word of comfort.

"Don't worry, the news and the Internet have said that the signal base stations in Sichuan are being repaired, and now the country's calls are going to Sichuan, the lines must be very crowded." Chu Jin walked to them and said calmly." Don't scare yourself, what if it's okay?"

Song Qiaoxi raised her head in surprise. This was the first time she had seen Chu Jin comfort an unfamiliar person. He seemed to have changed, warmer than before, and talked a little bit more.

"Let's go, natural disasters and man-made disasters are beyond our control." Chu Jin pulled Song Qiaoxi into the elevator, and pressed the elevator button, "The college entrance examination will not be delayed due to the earthquake, and you cannot relax academically due to external factors. "

Chu Jin said this because he was afraid that Song Qiaoxi would be disturbed by external factors. The little girl is smart because it is not very stable.

"Well, I know." Song Qiaoxi nodded, she knew the priority.

Later, the school also organized donations. After the grief, the high school students returned to their nervousness and busyness.

The school teacher said the same thing as Chu Jin, the college entrance examination will not be delayed due to the earthquake.

On June 7, 2008, the Beijing college entrance examination came as scheduled.

After a short period of two days, this group of the earliest post-90s in China finally welcomed the "Great Liberation."

Song Qiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief. The day after the exam was over, her eighteenth birthday was her. This year, the Song family and Grandpa Chu celebrated her together.

Mom and Dad gave her a new Apple laptop.

And Grandpa Chu's gift was very special. He gave Song Qiaoxi a favorite emerald necklace from his wife during his lifetime, and several tickets for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.

After the birthday party, Qiao Qin was called aside by Aunt Fang to see the photo of the little princess at her son's house just after the full moon. Song Jianguo and Zheming discussed motorcycles together.

Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin stood by the wheelchair, talking with Mr. Chu.

"Xixi, I listened to you before. You have an organization called the "Little Gang of Five" in the Qizhou compound? Those little friends, have you made an appointment to come to Beijing to watch the Olympics in 2008? You Open the envelope and take a look. Grandpa has prepared tickets for the opening ceremony of the Olympics on August 8th, and tells your friends to go together." Grandpa Chu was sitting in a wheelchair, smiling and speaking slowly.

"Grandpa Chu, do you remember all this?" Song Qiaoxi was shocked, her mouth closed. She thought Grandpa Chu was in a coma at the time and could not hear her nagging.

Then Song Qiaoxi stuck out her tongue and smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you, grandpa, I accepted this birthday gift. Grandpa really gave me the best birthday gift."

"Huh?" She opened the beautifully wrapped envelope and counted it. There were seven tickets inside. She looked up and asked Grandpa Chu with wide eyes, "Why are there seven?"

"Hahahaha," Mr. Chu smiled heartily, turning his head to find that Qiao Qin and Song Jianguo were not paying attention to them, and blinked and whispered to Song Qiaoxi, "Didn't you say that there are two twin children, one is Ding Miao and the other is Ding. One, is there an object already? It’s not good to leave the object behind and watch the opening ceremony by yourself..."

"Ah..." Song Qiaoxi shrank her neck and smiled even more embarrassed. "It turns out that Grandpa heard it all, but Jiang is old and spicy, and I can't hide anything from you."

Old man Chu shook his head and said jokingly: "Yes, but that is Wang Junyang. Grandpa still loves him very much. Seven of you, six of you are all in pairs, and he alone is quite pitiful... ...If he also finds a girlfriend, tell your grandpa, grandpa will get him another ticket."

"Oh?" Song Qiaoxi was taken aback, scratching her head and looking at Chu Jin, "Well, Wang Junyang doesn't seem to have a girlfriend? After he went to the Shanghai stock market, he didn't talk to our girls much."

"I don't know." Chu Jin shrugged, his tone pretending to be relaxed.

He hoped that Wang Junyang would go to Australia as soon as possible, as far as possible from Song Qiaoxi.

"Xixi, when will you determine the relationship with Jin Jin?" Old man Chu smiled and patted her arms with affection, "Grandpa is waiting to call you grandson-in-law."

"Shhh..." Song Qiaoxi hurriedly put her index finger to her lips and looked around nervously. She was not ready to let her parents know, so she hurriedly said to Grandpa Chu, "Grandpa, don't you and me Mom and Dad mentioned this matter, my father, oops, my father is more sensitive/sensitive, you should never ask him. Please..."

"Yes, don't worry. When will you agree with all of you, I will propose to your old Song family again." Grandpa Chu looked in a good mood and said cheerfully, "Let all of you bring you the necklace, your skin. White, emeralds match your skin tone."

Song Qiaoxi dared not accept the priceless jewelry.

She opened the box and saw that such a big dark green gem, how could an eighteen-year-old girl dare to bring this?

Song Qiaoxi handed the box to Chu Jin, "Return it to Grandpa. I can't accept this. Mom and Dad will be angry if I accept it."

In the past, Chu Jin would help him refuse Grandpa Chu's gift.

But today, Chu Jin just smiled faintly at her, put the box in her hand again, and said to her ear: "If you give it to you, take it. If you take it, he will be in a better mood."

"This is something from your old Chu family. Take it with you, I don't dare to..." Song Qiaoxi pushed the box back into Chu Jin's hand again, jumping twice, holding the Olympic Games in her hand. Tickets for the opening ceremony are far away.

"Save it here first. I will let her take it when she gets engaged." Chu Jin put the box in his hand on the coffee table aside, and said lightly to Grandpa Chu.

Over the past year or so, the relationship between grandfather and grandson has become much more normal.

Although there is no way to be as close as ordinary people, as long as Chu Jin is willing to talk to Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu will already be very happy.

The old man became more and more casual with Chu Jin, and was no longer as cautious as before, always afraid of making his grandson upset.

With the previous mode of getting along, Mr. Chu felt that he was the grandson of Chu Jin...

"Oh, all, this was brought by your grandma when she got married, and I also want Xixi to bring it when she got married." Old man Chu is not happy anymore, just give Xixi a set when he gets engaged. This is more memorable. meaningful.

"When we get married, Xi Xi's jewelry can only be given by me." Chu Jin raised his eyelids and poured a glass of warm water to Mr. Chu.

The old man was very excited all afternoon. Song Qiaoxi's 18th birthday was more lively and exquisite than his 70th birthday, and he didn't care how much water he could drink.

Seeing the old man drank the water, Chu Jin said in a flat tone, "Moreover, the color of the jewelry you gave is really unlucky. There is no green jewelry when you get married."

Mr. Chu:? ? ?
