Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Xiaozhen wore a red dress that day...

Xiaozhen wore a red dress that day to go on stage. After taking off her school uniform, she really looked like an adult.

No one had any thoughts at that time. Even if Xiaozhen stepped down from the stage, Qiao Yihua would hug her and sit next to her. Even if she bought a small cake after returning home, she would sit on the sofa and take a bite. It was so sweet and she said sincerely, "Brother, I really want to live with you forever."

Qiao Yihua lay on the sofa, a little tipsy, and asked softly, "What?"

Xiaozhen hurriedly said, "It's not like that, it's just, it's just..." She changed her words to explain, "It's just living together, not separated by several cities, and seeing each other often."

"What else?" Qiao Yihua reached out and stroked her hair, his thumb stroked her face and said, "You still have to study hard to get your grades, otherwise you can't go to any good university and can't come to Shanghai. Don't compare yourself with others all day long. They take the exam locally, and you have to go back to Xi'an, which is more stressful."

There are few people admitted to study in Shanghai from other places. The minimum score for regular junior colleges in big cities is more than 500.

Xiaozhen's last final exam in her second year of high school was barely 450 points, and it was a local exam with a very average difficulty. It

was really frustrating.

After Xiaozhen became an adult, Qiao Yihua could no longer say to her in a stern tone like he did in junior high school, "You can't even do such a simple thing?" "Sister, where is your brain?"

It was mainly because she lost to others from the starting line. Children's Palace, extracurricular readings, and overseas exchanges. Learning English was the first time in her life. Others started learning English in elementary school, but she could only read simple sentences when she started again in the third year of junior high school.

So I thought about it several times. If I could go to another place with my score to study for an undergraduate degree, which one should I choose when I came to Shanghai for a junior college?

It has been four years since we separated. People's worldviews and values ​​change the most when they are around 20 years old. Will someone with her personality be bullied and bullied in a dormitory at university? In short, there is no place to rest assured. He can now fully understand the emotions of parents who want to beat and scold their children but also love them.

Fortunately, Xiaozhen doesn't like to talk back to him, otherwise he would be really angry.

I drank a lot today, and I sighed when I thought about the headache.

Just then, Ren Qiu called, and Xiaozhen went to answer the phone. Qiao Yihua had forgotten something at the hotel, and asked whether he should send it to the office now or tomorrow.

Xiaozhen replied, "Don't ask me, my brother is almost mad at me now."

Qiao Yihua squinted and smiled, and he could hear clearly from outside. He said, "Put it in the office," and

Xiaozhen looked back at him and said, "Sister, my brother said you should take it back to the office when you go to work."

Year after year, even the Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance outside the window was almost completed, and she still had endless books to read and endless homework to do.

It seemed that this was how she would spend her whole life.

At the end of the summer vacation of her second year in high school, Xiaozhen had to transfer to Xi'an to study in her third year of high school because of her household registration problem, and the high school had already contacted her.

Qiao Yihua told her that the high school students there were more hardworking, and she'd better preview the content of the third year of high school in advance, otherwise she might not be able to keep up.

Xiaozhen procrastinated for several days and didn't read many pages of the book. She kept holding her chin and staring blankly.

In the evening, when Wu Ma prepared dinner and the three of them were eating together, she complained that Xiaozhen either slept on her stomach or walked around in the room, or slept on the bed in the study room with a book covering her head.

Qiao Yihua asked Wu Ma to watch her study, not to let her complain about everything, but to her face. Although she used dialect, who couldn't understand it after so many years? Before

Xiaozhen could speak, Wu Ma said, "My son was so serious in high school. He never went on a trip. He just buried his head in his studies and refused to eat when asked."

Qiao Yihua took her out every summer vacation. If she didn't have time, she would ask her secretary and assistant to take her out, but they were all domestic trips.

To study in Xi'an, there are two options: day school and living on campus.

Qiao Yihua asked her opinion. Day school must be accompanied by a student and needs to be more self-conscious. Living on campus is convenient in all aspects, but it is not free and strict.

Xiaozhen sat there without saying anything.

Qiao Yihua decided to go to school on her own. The school is not far from her father's home in Xi'an. It takes more than ten minutes to walk. There is heating in winter, and air conditioning was specially installed in the summer vacation.

Because no one had lived there for a long time, they cleaned the place, replaced the refrigerator, TV and bed, and put up some wallpaper.

They asked Wu Ma to accompany her to study, do something good, and pick her up from school in the evening, and double her salary.

Xiaozhen was in a very low mood more than half a month after the start of school. When the day of reporting for the senior year came, there was no ceremony in the school. The other grades had not started school yet, but they had already started classes in mid-August.

Qiao Yihua took time out to send her to school. Xiaozhen hesitated for a long time, but finally burst into tears.

Only then did they understand what she had been thinking these days.

The two people had never been separated for such a long time since they met, a year.

There is no need for too many reasons to be sad. It is a very emotional thing. You can't figure it out. It hits a nerve and you cry.

Qiao Yihua was a little confused at first, then he hugged her lightly without saying anything. After she finished crying, he said very softly: "I will be back on National Day."

Xiaozhen lowered her head and wiped her tears. She carried a large schoolbag and a pile of books and prepared to enter the campus.

"It's so ugly to tie your hair up and cover your eyes. There are so many hairpins in your schoolbag."

At this age, people always like to cover their faces with bangs or hair on the side.

The assistant helped her take the books, and she tied her hair up and walked into the campus, looking back every few steps.

Qiao Yihua did not go home and immediately went to the airport with the assistant.

The assistant said, when I was a child, I lived in the school dormitory in high school and college. I cried every day before school. People who returned to the school dormitory cried together at night, but it will be fine after a while. Mr. Qiao doesn't need to worry.

The assistant is a man, and he is also very sentimental.

Qiao Yihua certainly didn't have this emotion. Even when his father passed away, he was busy running around and didn't have time to be sad. Only the doctor who diagnosed the disease at the beginning told him about how long it took to shed a few tears.

Later, when talking about business and drinking, he drank too much and felt uncomfortable. When he felt uncomfortable, he thought a lot and cried a few times.

The emotion and melancholy of parting only exist when you are young. Xiaozhen is not a person who expresses emotions very richly. They have been together for more than three years, and they have never said that they have positioned themselves in any emotional relationship mode. It is very natural until now.

So it is difficult to explain how I felt when I saw Xiaozhen like this. My heart probably just skipped a beat.

The entire senior year was very hard. There was no quality education and no peripheral activities like in Shanghai. The scores were tortured by the endless papers.

Xiaozhen had never seen such a situation before, so when she first had a three-day holiday for May Day, she called Qiao Yihua to tell him that she would not go home.

Qiao Yihua could tell that she was in a very low mood. She couldn't be homesick for more than a month.

She flew here early on the National Day.

Because it was late, it was almost a day when I got home from Xi'an. I pushed open the door and walked in.

Wu Ma was stewing pork ribs. Xiaozhen was still studying, and the food next to her was not touched at all.

Her eyes were red.

"Don't write yet, eat something."

Xiaozhen looked up when she heard the voice, and she felt even sadder.

She was not the kind of person who would say I was fine.

Just tell her what happened. Not only will we study for the entrance test in September, but we will also arrange seats according to grades. We will directly divide the classes into three levels: Peking University and Tsinghua University class, fast class, and slow class.

She was assigned to the lowest slow class, and the teacher said that you just need to learn the basics.

Forget about Peking University and Tsinghua University class, she will definitely not score 600 or 700. The fast class is before the undergraduate line, and she has not reached it.

Qiao Yihua did not joke like before, so why not work hard.

Pulling out a tissue to wipe her tears, he asked seriously: "Are you sad because you did poorly in the exam, or because of the grading?"

Xiaozhen: "I don't know."

"Then are you sad because you miss home and are rejected by the school, or do you feel that you are different from others?"

Xiaozhen couldn't tell.

Qiao Yihua said, "University is like walking on a single-plank bridge, which is very cruel. In other places, the competition is even more intense. It is the only way for everyone to change their destiny. Because this road is the most convenient, there are many people and the competition is fierce, and the weak will be pushed down. Everyone knows that after entering university, they will be assigned a stable job, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, escape from the sea of ​​suffering you want to leave, and have a new life."

Xiaozhen looked at him and whispered, "I know."

"Who doesn't know the truth? I am the biggest beneficiary. I went to the best university in Shanghai. After graduation, I can go abroad at public expense, start a business, keep up with the times, know information earlier than most ordinary people, and find any job with the halo. You have a harder life than me, and I may know what you want better than you. The current classification is just a test of your current learning ability, which is very pure. It does not involve family background, money and power, and there are no additional rules of the game. Didn't you first know me when I was cheated of everything?"

Xiaozhen looked up at him, and felt very strange for a while.

He had just taken off his suit jacket, and he didn't have time to change his clothes inside. He was still in a shirt. It can be seen that his hair was originally combed very neatly, but it was a little messy because of the long journey.

Xiaozhen felt that her temper was getting worse and worse, as if she had become a different person, with too many worries. She really didn't like coming here and didn't want to be separated from him. When he told her that she wanted to study alone in the second semester of her second year of high school, her heart was churning.

Xiaozhen said, "I'm sorry."

Qiao Yihua lowered his head to see if she was still crying, "What are you sorry for? Do you still get up at five in the morning?"

Xiaozhen nodded and said, "School ends at 9:30 in the evening."

"Come back by yourself?"

"Sometimes Wu Ma will wait for me, and sometimes she will go home alone after she goes to bed and we make up for the lessons. It's not far away and there are street lights."

Qiao Yihua rubbed her hair, "You have always been a very hardworking person. What does it matter if you have grades? Anyway, you can go abroad if you want to go abroad in the future, and you can do anything. Your destiny has changed a long time ago, and you are already better than them."

He first said the truth and then comforted her.

Xiaozhen was silent for a long time, and said one sentence: "You are such a good person."

Qiao Yihua raised his head and laughed, lowered his head and kissed her head heavily, "You are really good at talking!"
