Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Later, even on weekends...

Later, even on weekends, she did not go back to Shanghai. She could really concentrate on studying. When the teacher called Qiao Yihua, she said that Xiaozhen made rapid progress. Rapid progress means that she did not move in the first three months, but she could improve a lot in every exam in the two months before the Spring Festival.

It is probably that quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

The total holiday for the Spring Festival is about half a month, seven days before and seven days after New Year's Eve.

When Xiaozhen returned to Shanghai, she threw herself on Qiao Yihua as soon as she entered the door. Because she was wearing thick fat balls and covered her face with a scarf, she only felt that the roundness hit her body. She

looked excited, so she must have done well in the exam. She rarely looked so cheerful and lively. When she got home, she took off her scarf, gloves and down jacket. She said that it was the first time she saw snow, and she felt that the snow was not as beautiful as she imagined. Was it because there was too little snow

? However, Qiao Yihua did not accompany her for dinner at night, saying that he had something to go out.

After a long time, even in college, he would say that he had something to go out, pretending to be working.

Xiaozhen finally couldn't help but say, you shouldn't call it a date when you have a girlfriend, why do you always say you have something to do.

Qiao Yihua said, what do you know?

Xiaozhen said, how can I not understand? I understand.

People are really in completely different states when they are working and when they are out.

Time flies really fast, and the senior year of high school flies very fast.

On the day of the college entrance examination, the weather was unusually hot. It was still July at that time. Qiao Yihua had seen her results of the third baseline test and had a rough idea. He never believed in dark horses or soaring to the sky, and he had already chosen a school for her in his heart.

After returning to Xi'an from Shanghai, he did not give any instructions, because it was obvious that Xiaozhen was very nervous. She wanted to recite a few English essays at this time.

He only said one sentence: "You have so many ways out, why are you nervous?"

Her mood was much more stable. She did not improve her grades in the two days of exams. When she got home, she meditated and emptied her mind in the air-conditioned room. She said that she wanted to eat iced watermelon, but she was afraid of diarrhea.

Qiao Yihua was very relaxed. What could not be eaten? The temperature was over 30 degrees.

At night, she kept going to the toilet and walking around. She had a little insomnia. Qiao Yihua asked her to sit on the sofa to rest for a while. At one o'clock, she fell asleep on him in a daze.

The next morning, she was very energetic and ate a lot.

When she left the school after the exam, Qiao Yihua did not see her.

Xiaozhen came to his side from behind, "Brother, I found you are the most handsome here." She gave him a thumbs up, "Because the others are all parents, and you are the youngest."

Qiao Yihua smiled, did not respond, and asked, "Are you still going to school to estimate your scores?"

Xiaozhen shook her head.

"Let's go back to Shanghai tonight. They have packed up their things. I don't think there are many left. Don't take the ugly clothes and ugly school uniforms."

Xiaozhen and he got in a taxi, "Brother, why don't you ask me how I did in the exam?"

"The past is the past. I have been worried about it all year and I am exhausted."

"What if I don't do well in the exam?"

"Just repeat the year here by yourself. I don't want to care."

Qiao Yihua used to be the principal's student. At that time, he was a class teacher. Later, he was transferred to this middle school as a vice principal because of his good grades, and then became the principal.

Every time Xiaozhen's grades and shortcomings are reported, she will call him, especially in the next semester, every baseline test will summarize the students' shortcomings and how to improve them, and ask parents to have a good talk.

When Qiao Yihua flew over, the two sat opposite each other. What can you say to a girl of eighteen or nineteen? Hit her, scold her, or say some half-truths like a middle-aged man who looks down on her.

He wanted to knock on the table and said, if he had gone to a technical secondary school, he would have graduated by now.

Later, when the scores were released, Xiaozhen didn't dare to call in the middle of the night. Qiao Yihua came back very late from overtime. Seeing her hesitant look, he said casually, don't call, I've called.

She scored more than 540.

It was more than ten points lower than the baseline test, which is understandable. The baseline test was originally easier.

Basically, it can be said that it was not much higher than the undergraduate line.

Qiao Yihua had clearly chosen a school in his mind, and he asked her opinion, asking: "Do you want to come here or go somewhere else to study?"

Xiaozhen sat there with a frown on her face, "I thought it would be higher. It's dangerous to go anywhere."

"Have you thought about what career you want to do? What are your hobbies?"

Xiaozhen didn't have any idea about what she wanted to do.

Hobbies are useless, but she is influenced by her family. Her father is a carpenter and her grandmother is a seamstress. She can do some handicrafts, but she hates such influence.

She knows nothing.

Qiao Yihua said, "Why don't you apply for a secretary major and work as a secretary in my company after graduation."

Xiaozhen: "Okay, okay. Do you want to serve tea?"

Qiao Yihua smiled and took a sip of water without saying anything.

"Do you know Internet information technology? The latest and most cutting-edge major, do you want to learn it?" "

Computer? Do you want to play with computers? Didn't you say that it's not popular abroad yet? Is it useful to learn this? I saw in that book that many schools don't have this major."

Qiao Yihua said, "Then choose a university that has this major."

Xiaozhen said, "Brother, I just want to learn to be a secretary, like Sister Ren Qiu, and be a white-collar worker in an office."

Qiao Yihua was full of enthusiasm and met ignorant people.

She studied science, and this year, Shanghai enrolled students in a Sino-foreign joint venture college for the first time. To put it bluntly, the score line is lower than that of the main campus, the score line for the third-tier college, and the majors are the latest and most cutting-edge. The tuition is more expensive, but it is easy to go abroad and find a job. Even if she wants to be a secretary in the future, it is not easy, and the current technological development is not very complicated.

Of course, she has already grown up, and she can make all the decisions by herself.

But her ideas are too strange. She can't choose anything by flipping through a book of national universities, especially when looking at schools in Shanghai. A slightly undergraduate or even a third-tier college directly has more than 560. If

she studied liberal arts at the time, the score line is higher, many majors cannot be chosen. It was nothing at first, but when she saw that she wanted to choose a remote area, she immediately brainwashed her repeatedly.

In the end, she followed his advice on majors and colleges.

The whole summer before going to college was Xiaozhen's most relaxing time.

Qiao Yihua took people on a business trip for the first time, and they happened to go to Singapore to study and visit and attract investment technology. Xiaozhen was

also going abroad for the first time. Shanghai is already very developed, but it is still far behind Singapore. It's like a bumpkin coming to the city, everything is rare and curious.

I couldn't understand a word of English.

He also said that he scored more than 110 points in the test and listened to dozens of tapes but it was useless.

It's hard to say that Qiao Yihua's change in attitude towards her didn't start from here, because everyone asked him privately, is it new?

New, that is, a new girlfriend.

Although she just graduated from high school and hasn't gotten rid of her student-like temperament, Qiao Yihua kept a normal distance from her. But she was already 19 years old, with long hair and very youthful, wearing very expensive clothes, it was hard not to think too much, because everyone knew that men love to eat young grass.

When people change their feelings to family affection, they must first exclude their childhood memories. The first impression is too deep.

It was also because of this trip together that basically everyone knew this sister.

Later, during the Spring Festival of the freshman year, she received dozens of extra New Year's money.

Time passed quickly in college. Xiaozhen and Qiao Yihua no longer got along with each other in the previous model of male dominance and female obedience. In addition to going home every weekend, he went on more and more business trips and became more and more busy. When he was in high school, he would cry if he didn't see her for more than a month, but now it is common to not see her for two months.

So when he came back, Wu Ma and Xiaozhen would cook together for a reunion, and even if it was not the weekend, he would go home to live.

And the gifts he brought back became more and more expensive. From the former secretary stationery and fountain pen, he became earrings, pins, hairbands and even lipstick.

Although most of the classmates were rich, every time she went to the library, she still saw the students from the main department working hard. The postgraduate entrance examination was not popular yet, and they were all preparing to go abroad.

She was cheated of thousands of yuan because of this. At that time, the training institutions for going abroad were not authentic. Xiaozhen didn't even know that the training institutions that existed in the school could cheat people.

She was sad for several days. Her pitiful New Year's money and savings that were not enough for her daily living expenses were directly reduced by half. She

made money by delivering leaflets with her classmates on weekends.

It was really a coincidence that Qiao Yihua saw her on the first day. He didn't get out of the car, but smiled meaningfully. She

didn't come back on Saturday to fight for these little things.

She got home with sore legs.

Xiaozhen is an honest person and will not lie to him.

When Qiao Yihua asked, she told him.

Anyway, there is nothing shameful in doing these things.

He didn't stop her, and said, "Don't go."

The next morning, when Xiaozhen was brushing her teeth and continuing to work, Qiao Yihua handed her the bank card when he went out.

Xiaozhen shook her head like a rattle.

Qiao Yihua turned around and went out with his bag, and Xiaozhen hurriedly chased after him.

"No, no, no, no..."

Like stuttering.

Qiao Yihua pinched her face with both hands and whispered, "Don't do it. I think you will be deceived into a pyramid scheme den next."

When closing the door, he said, "You should study hard in school. You will have a hard time in the future."

In fact, Xiaozhen didn't know him for a long time.

She didn't know that many years had passed since she started studying. Qiao Yihua had gone from her twenties to her thirties. Her heart had changed a lot, and the company's profit scale and other aspects had changed dramatically.

It's not just him. China has changed dramatically in the past few years.

The big beads that he saw from home have become the symbol of Shanghai. Pudong is changing day by day.

The stock market is hot, Hollywood movies are introduced, state-owned enterprises have begun to reform, and even college graduates may no longer be assigned jobs, and housing has become more commercialized.

His brother's wealth has increased countless times, and his watches and cars have changed many times, but Xiaozhen is still stuck in 1991.

In the end, Xiaozhen didn't use the bank card and didn't withdraw a penny.

When putting the card in his wallet, Qiao Yihua saw it but didn't say anything.

When he was in a bad mood, he would have an extreme tug, and when picking up food, he would deliberately put all the meat into her bowl.

He took out a large stack of bills for living expenses and passed them back and forth.

Every time Xiaozhen took it seriously, she would finish the food in her bowl and keep giving back money. It didn't need so much.

Maybe these little things are his emotional value.
