Chapter 120: 120

When Da Qiao heard him call her little friend, her heart skipped a beat for some reason: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, what did you give me?"

Huo Chi's eyes swept across her pink, tender, and fair cheeks and hooked his lips: "You can see if you open it?"

Da Qiao let out an 'oh' and reached out to take the box in his hand.

If other people see this scene, they may think that Da Qiao's attitude of accepting gifts was too taken for granted. But for Da Qiao, she was already used to it.

When Huo Chi was in the production team, he would still use straw to make zodiac signs for her even if he had no money. She still kept those little things. For them, giving gifts was a common thing. There was no need to push around.

Where his fingertips came in contact with her were soft and smooth. Huo Chi slowly rubbed it a few times with his fingers.

Da Qiao opened the box and saw a Rolex watch lying inside. It got a silver steel bracelet and a black rotating bezel. Quite exquisite and atmospheric.

It was just this style... She seem to have seen it somewhere.

The next moment, she sharply turned her head and set her eyes on Huo Chi's wrist.

She saw that he was wearing a Rolex men's watch on his wrist. The style was exactly the same as hers, just the size was larger.

Huo Chi saw her looking over and the tip of his ear was slightly red: "This is a Rolex Lady's Datejust watch. It got waterproof feature and date window. Very suitable for girls to wear."

Currently, the watches on the market were of the same style for men and women. Many brands haven't launched watches for women. But this Rolex gifted by Huo Chi was small and exquisite. It was indeed more suitable for girls to wear.

Da Qiao pursed the corner of her mouth, revealing dimples at the corner of her mouth. She took out her watch and handed it over, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, help me put it on."

Huo Chi stared at her dimples for a few seconds, then took the watch and put it on her wrist. The silver bracelet made her wrist fairer.

Da Qiao turned her wrist over to examine. With a smile on her lips, she spoke: "Thank you, Elder Brother Huo Chi. I like this gift very much!"

Her lips were as pink as petals and the two small dimples were as shallow as two cups of sweet wine.

Huo Chi reached out and gently rubbed her hair. He spoke in a low voice, "Then wear it from now on."

Da Qiao obediently nodded: "En, I won't take it off."

Huo Chi looked at the two identical watches. The corners of his mouth curved up.

Qiao Family noticed the watch on Da Qiao's hand that night. When they knew it was a Rolex, they were all shocked.

Rolex was an imported watch, which was expensive and few in quantity. If there was no channel, one may not be able to buy it even if they have money.

The watch in Da Qiao's hand should be worth more than one thousand yuan.

Qiao Zhen Jun hesitated, "Young Chi, isn't this watch expensive? Uncle can give you the money. Treat it as Uncle buying it from you!"

Huo Chi replied in a low voice: "Uncle, don't be polite to me. This is a college entrance examination gift I gave to Nian Nian. How can a gift be returned?"

When Qiao Zhen Jun heard this response, he couldn't persist any longer. Still, this gift was a little too expensive.

Xue An Xu looked at the watch on his elder sister's hand and remarked with admiration, "When I go to college, can you buy a watch to reward me, Dad? I want the exact same as my elder sister."

Before Qiao Zhen Jun spoke, Huo Chi spoke, "This is for woman style."

Xue An Xu paused. Then his eyes fell on his wrist: "Then buy the same as yours."

Huo Chi chuckled and said, "Can't do. Your wrist is too fat. Wearing silver will make you look fatter. Black is more suitable for you."

"Really?" Xue An Xu raised his wrist to take a look. His wrist was indeed a bit fleshy, and sighed, "That's alright, then I'll buy the black one."

Huo Chi nodded in satisfaction.

He searched for a long time to find such a style that was the same for men and women. He and Da Qiao can wear it. As for the others...

As long as it weren't the same, they can wear whatever they want!

When Da Qiao heard their conversation, her eyes fell on her younger brother's wrist. She felt that her younger brother's wrist wasn't as fat as Huo Chi said.

——

The news that Da Qiao was the provincial college entrance examination top scorer soon spread throughout Yunlai Town.

The next day, Shen Family came over to congratulate them.

Qin Xiao Mei blushed with joy. She hugged Da Qiao and rubbed her: "Why isn't such a smart child my own? Lin Hui, I really envy you!"

Lin Hui looked at Da Qiao and softly smiled. Her eyes full of love and pride: "You don't have to envy me. Aren't your Tian You and Tian Ze also very smart? After two years, they can come back with a college entrance examination top scorer!"

At the mention of her sons, Qin Xiao Mei showed a proud look: "Tian You's grades aren't bad. Tian Ze's attention-span isn't as good as his elder brother. People say that raising a son is ninety-nine years of worry out of hundred years. This is so true!"

Lin Hui went along with her words and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you sighing?"

Qin Xiao Mei said: "I don't know what's wrong with Tian You recently. He ate a lot less than usual and had lost a lot of weight!"

Lin Hui frowned, "Just now, Tian You did look thinner. Have you taken him to the hospital for a check?"

Qin Xiao Mei: "We did. The doctor said there's nothing wrong!"

Out of nowhere, Da Qiao, who was in her arms, suddenly remembered what her cousin's previous remark that he was too fat.

Could it be that Shen Tian You didn't eat because of this?

Shen Tian You, who was outside at this time, was running back and forth. Although he was sweating profusely, he had no intention of stopping.

He had to lose weight. His elder sister Ying was still waiting for him to lose weight!

In addition to Shen Family coming over, people from the neighborhood and acquaintances came to the Qiao's house to congratulate them. The threshold of Qiao's house was stepped on from early to late. People kept coming.

Two days later, county's education department's chief came over in person with people in tow.

He came to give money to Da Qiao!

In the education circle, Baocheng County had never produce a top scorer let alone making its name known over the years in the provincial city. Many people have to think for a bit when they hear Baocheng County.

Now suddenly there was a top scorer. This not only made Baocheng County stand in the limelight in front of the leaders, but also easier for them to rise in the future.

Therefore, the county board was mad with delight.

As soon as the board was happy, they will be more than readily reward.

On top of this reward from the provincial city, there were also rewards given by the county, town and school. All of this add up to as much as 1,000 yuan!

Although the living standard had improved in recent years, one thousand yuan wasn't a small sum. Many people don't have that much savings!

In order to encourage everyone to attach importance to education, the number of awards was specially written in this interview. After reading the interview in the newspaper, everyone's eyes became red with envy.

One thousand yuans!

Who said studying was useless?

Who said daughter was a money-waster?

If anyone dared to say such a thing, everyone will dare to throw the newspaper on that person's face; let him open his eyes and take a good look!

With such a publicity, many more children were registered to the school when the new school semester started in September; especially the number of girls increased few fold compared with previous years.

But that was future story.

Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan set off for a trip on the third day after Da Qiao's college entrance examination.

Originally, they wanted to wait for the college entrance examination results to come out before going. But Da Qiao told them not to wait. After some consideration, they set off.

They wanted to come back to celebrate with Da Qiao when the results came out, so they didn't go far; just explore around the province.

As soon as the results of the college entrance examination came out, they called back at once. When they heard that Da Qiao was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, the two were overjoyed and stated that they would go home immediately.

When they got home, Qiao Zhen Min brought his daughter Qiao Dong Wan over. Following them, Qiao Dong He brought her fiancé Luo Jun Liang back.

Both uncle and niece came back this time with the same purpose - to get married.

Since Qiao Zhen Min confessed to Chu Sheng Mei last year, the two have been in touch.

At first, Chu Sheng Mei was indeed not ready to accept a new relationship. As the interaction between the two increased, Qiao Zhen Min's thoughtfulness and tenderness soaked her dry soul little by little like a drizzle.

Over the past year or so, Qiao Zhen Min had sent her medicines from thousands of miles away, bought her gifts for her birthday, the New Year, and other holidays. What's more, he never forgot to buy a share for little Mi Bao every time.

She had thought before that if she wanted to remarry, she would definitely find someone who could accept little Mi Bao. If the other party couldn't treat little Mi Bao like their biological daughter, she would rather not marry again.

After more than a year of 'underground' interaction, Chu Sheng Mei was finally moved by Qiao Zhen Min. This time, the two returned from Nanshan County to bring up the marriage to their families.

Qiao Zhen Min's side was easier to handle. His parents will definitely not object. He only need to convince his daughter Qiao Dong Wan.

On the other hand, Chu Sheng Mei's side was more difficult. Even thinking with one's toes, her in-laws would definitely strongly object.

But the two have already thought about it. No matter how many obstacles were ahead, they have to overcome difficulties and stay together.

As for Qiao Dong He, that was another problem.

According to the plan, Qiao Dong He wasn't going to marry Luo Jun Liang until the end of the year or next year. But both of them were in their passionate twenties. One time, they rolled together.

After rolling the sheets, Qiao Dong He was so ashamed and angry. She disallowed Luo Jun Liang to touch her again. However, both of them were inexperienced and didn't know how to use contraception. So Qiao Dong He hit the jackpot.

Unlike later generations, people these days were still very conservative. If someone became pregnant before marriage, it will be regarded as a shameless behavior.

Once it spread, many workplace won't accept them. The world will point at them, even when they were engaged.

The two were terrified. Qiao Dong He almost fainted from crying.

After finally calming Qiao Dong He down, the two young people who had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time quickly bought train tickets to go back to their hometown.

Although Qiao Dong He's parents were both in the capital, her parents can't give her a sense of security at all.

Especially her mom. If Mom was told that she was pregnant before marriage, she don't know what unpleasant words she would say. Although her dad had a good temper, he wasn't an opinionated person.

So after much deliberation, she decided to go back to Yunlai Town to find her grandparents. Only they can give her a sense of security. Only they can help her through this difficult time.

——

After listening to Youngest son's words, Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan expressed their approval to marrying Chu Sheng Mei.

As for Qiao Dong Wan, Qiao Xiu Zhi advised, "Dong Wan should have discovered your relationship with Sheng Mei over the past years. Now that you are getting married, you should discuss it with her."

"As for Sheng Mei's parents-in-law, you can use courtesy first and then the soldiers. What they are most worried about is that no one will give them old age care in the future. And the matter of little Mi Bao's surname. As long as you promise these two things, they should agree. If they use little Mi Bao to threaten, we'll discuss then."

Qiao Zhen Min nodded and left.

Although he had long guessed that his parents wouldn't object, he still want to ask their permission in advance.

After coming out of the main room, he went to Da Qiao's room to find his daughter.

Since Qiao Zhen Min went to Nanshan County to set up a transportation company, he transferred his and his daughter's household registration there. It went without saying Qiao Dongwan also transferred there to study.

Qiao Dong Wan hadn't come back for several months. So right at this moment, Qiao Dong Wan was nesting in Da Qiao's room. The two sisters were close to each other and whispering.

Qiao Zhen Min didn't go in directly. Instead, he stood by the window and knocked on the window lattice: "Dong Wan, Dad wants to talk to you. Can you come out?"

Qiao Dong Wan acknowledged and turned back to Da Qiao: "Elder Sister, wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Da Qiao pinched her face: "Go. I'll go to the kitchen and get two ice bowls."

Qiao Dong Wan pursed her lips and left with a smile.

The ingredients of the ice bowl were almonds, fresh lotus roots, walnut kernels, fresh lotus seeds, water chestnuts, and fruits. After putting together, add crushed ice on the bottom of the bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Like this ice bowl was done.

The ice bowl was refreshing and cold with a fruity and sweet taste. Most suitable for summer.

The ice bowl was one of specialties in the capital. When she went to the capital in the first year, Huo Chi took her to eat it.

Da Qiao went to the kitchen to make everyone's share. Just as she squatted down to wash the ingredients, a shadow suddenly cast over the top of her head.

She looked up and saw Huo Chi standing at the door of the kitchen.

He stood with his back to the light. On his upper body was a white collared short-sleeved shirt, which was wet against his sturdy torso. His lower body was long blue pants with white stripes on both sides. His legs were slender and strong. Due to sweat, his short hair stuck to his forehead. It showed his deep eyes.

So pretty!

These words popped out of Da Qiao's mind. Two rosy blush appeared on her palm-sized face: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, didn't you go to play with An Jie and An Xu? Why did you come back so quickly?"

Huo Chi walked in and squatted down in front of her. Staring at her face, he spoke, "Why is your face red?"

Da Qiao looked like a small animal caught in the act of sneakily eating. She somewhat didn't dare look him in the eyes: "I'm not."

"You're not?" Huo Chi raised his eyebrows. He raised his hand and touched her red face, "It's almost like a red butt. Still, say you're not?"

His fingertips were slightly cold. The sudden touch on her face made Da Qiao's heart trembled. His hand quickly left.

Huo Chi suddenly spoke again: "Little friend Qiao Nian Nian, I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of water to drink."

Da Qiao pouted, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, I am already seventeen years old. Not a child."

Having said that, she still obediently went and poured a glass of water over.

Huo Chi accepted the water. He raised his neck slightly in front of her and drank the water. The sweat on his forehead rolled down his face and dripped down his chin onto his clothes.

Da Qiao watched his bobbing Adam's apple and suddenly... felt a little thirsty too.

Huo Chi stopped drinking water. Ink-like eyes looked at her and said, "Qiao Nian Nian, why do you keep staring at me?"

Four eyes faced each other.

Da Qiao felt her cheeks get hotter and subconsciously denied it: "...No, I didn't stare at you."

After speaking, she hung her head down in a panic and grabbed a handful of lotus seeds in the basin.

The lotus seed in her hand was squeezed so hard by her it instantly turned into powder...

AWKWARD!

Huo Chi followed her movement and lowered his eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Since young, you turn red whenever you lie. Should I bring a mirror over and let you take a good look at your face?"

Da Qiao lowered her head lower, as if she had turned into a mimosa pudica and closed the leaves shyly.

Huo Chi glanced at her pink and red earlobes, stretched out his hand and twisted it, "Even the earlobes are red. So you were looking at me just now, right?"

His cold hands squeezed her warm earlobes; causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

She raised her head and gazed at him with her big watery, misty eyes. Quite pitiful: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, I really didn't..."

Huo Chi met her beautiful wet apricot eyes. His heart skipped a beat: "...I, I'll change clothes and come over to help you."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, turned around, and hurried away.

Da Qiao's eyes followed his back. She didn't come back to her senses until he was out of sight.

She touched her hot cheeks and whimpered like a small beast: "What's wrong with me?"

Since Elder Brother Huo Chi came in, her eyes didn't seem to be her own. She couldn't help looking at him.

She felt sweat-covered Elder Brother Huo Chi was good-looking.

When Elder Brother Huo Chi drank water, she found it pretty.

Elder Brother Huo Chi's back was also an attractive sight.

Waa...what's wrong with her! !
