Xiao has thought about it for a long time

The family ethics drama is broadcasting on TV, and the scene of chicken feathers is being staged. The female lead is too hard, and the intelligent and gentle person is set up as a shrew. It is obviously just an ordinary family war. With the original setting, the female lead The master should be able to deal with a large family of weirdos with ease, but she will only make a lot of noise and make the situation difficult.

Quite bored, Josie washed a plate of grapes and brought them over, watching while eating.

In the new episode, the heroine cries into tears, accusing her family of being unfair to her, how aggrieved she has been all these years, what she has paid, and so on.

The plot is classic and old-fashioned, nothing new, you don’t need to guess, the heroine will return to the family in the end, no matter the old home or the new home, you have to choose a so-called happy ending. The urine of domestic dramas is like this, women’s happiness often follows Families are bundled together, which is quite realistic when you think about it carefully. True art comes from life.However, life is more changeable, and it is not so stereotyped. If the development of the TV series was followed, Mother Qiao would not have divorced Qiao Jianliang back then.

The love in the past was true, and the hatred between the two later was also true. The couple went astray as they walked. In the first two or three years, they still worried about their children and would not quarrel in front of Josie, which intensified After that, it doesn't matter.

Watching TV, Josie was in a daze. She couldn't remember when she didn't like going home and hid in the Fu's house next door all day long.

The old lady knew well the virtues of the Qiao family, and was exceptionally lenient. She often said to Fu Bei, "Take Xiaoxi with you wherever you go, and don't leave her alone."

Time flies, five years have passed in the compound, and I can't remember what happened in detail. My memory is full of family quarrels and Fu Bei, and more Fu Bei.

Sometimes this person is willing to take her with him, and sometimes he just leaves with his friends. Josie will wait at Fu's house and will not leave until he comes back.

At that time, Fu Bei was 17 years old, and she grew up to 12 years old, just like this person's age when she moved in.

The 17-year-old girl is already considered more than half an adult. No matter in terms of age or body shape, she has a slender figure with two waistlines that fit into clean jeans. Her slender legs are straight and have a different charm.

The 12-year-old Josie is still short and not very tall. She has entered the middle school, her grades are mediocre, and she is submerged in Jiangcheng International, where many elites gather.Other people's middle school has already paved the way for university, and competitions in foreign language and art are flying. She is still struggling with how to write homework, and can't keep up with the progress at work. When she was in elementary school, she didn't pay much attention to study. She is working harder, but she is very uncomfortable, confused and unable to see the way ahead.

Qiao's mother signed up for various remedial classes and paid a lot of money for private tutoring, hoping that she could develop morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically.It's a pity that Josie can't learn anything well. She can recognize notes in music, but she can't play a smooth piece of music. She participated in competition training to understand the meaning of the questions, but she couldn't solve a few questions.

"No way." Mother Qiao often said.

At first, it was more tactful, but later it criticized directly, always comparing it with others, the children of other families are good in everything, and the children of my own family are stupid and ignorant.

Unqualified parents in the world, such as Qiao's mother, probably don't think there is anything wrong with them. Sometimes when they get angry, they will say unreservedly: "You look like Qiao Jianliang, you look like him in everything."

A woman who was once so gentle has been in marriage for a long time and has become secular. Fortunately, her temperament is still elegant and she will not speak too harshly.

But for the young and sensitive Josie, every word still pokes her heart.

All couples whose marriages fail will not admit at first that they have caused harm to their children. Everyone thinks that it is for the sake of the children that they compromise.

Qiao Jianliang didn't care about this and didn't care.

Josie gradually became introverted, less talkative, less gregarious, and no longer followed Fu Bei around, clinging to each other, 12-year-old was more self-conscious than seven-year-old, more sensitive to facial expressions, and sensible.

But after all, we have been together for five years, and it can't be changed overnight. When did the big change happen? Probably one day, the old lady took everyone in the family to the temple to pray for blessings and offer incense. Only Fu Bei didn't go. Josie went to Fu's house as usual.

There was no one in the living room, and when I went up to the second floor, the door of the room was not closed.

There were several people inside, all girls of seventeen or eighteen years old.This age is the most rebellious period, free-wheeling, publicity, self-centered, can't tell good from bad, try new things, especially these rich kids, there are countless new gadgets that can come into contact with, a little If you don't pay attention, you will fall into the quagmire, and with puberty, there are throbbing and increased hormones.

Sensing that there was someone in the room, Josie subconsciously slowed down and stood behind the wall, wondering whether to go in.

However, before he could make a decision, he heard someone inside say, "Chen Shuo came to class to look for you yesterday, do you know?"

The tone was ambiguous, and the tone was deliberately elongated.

Immediately there was a booing and booing in the room, and someone asked, "Fu Bei, you hid it really deep enough, you don't tell us about this."

Josie was startled, but stood still.

She knew Chen Shuo, but not very well. She probably knew that he was from the compound and had a good relationship with Fu Bei. No worse than the Fu family.

At school, Chen Shuo appeared next to Fu Bei, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.

Chen Shuo looks handsome, Zhou Zheng is gentle, good-natured and excellent, he is a good match with Fu Bei, and the Chen family and Fu family are also quite compatible, so there are many related rumors, Josie doesn't know about it, but everyone By default they are a couple.

Inside the room, Fu Bei frowned, and only said softly, "I know."

There was another booing.

Young and young boys and girls always like to do this kind of thing, no matter whether they really have that kind of relationship or not, anyway, let's get together first and then talk.

Josie didn't go in, and left Fu's house with a low step.

At the age of 12, I still don't know what liking is, I can't figure out feelings, I just feel a little uncomfortable, and I can't explain what I feel in my heart, but this is definitely not love. There is no specific definition of what it is.

The small talk in the room was still going on. Fu Bei stood behind the window sill, listening to other people talking, and would only say a word from time to time. He inadvertently turned his head to look outside, and suddenly saw Josie walking slowly towards the gate of Qiao's house.

The back figure is really lonely and looks thinner.

The friend asked curiously: "What are you looking at, so engrossed."

Fu Bei didn't answer.

Adolescent boys and girls are full of emotions, like the tide after a heavy rain, they like it easily, and they also like to do things that are annoying and only touch themselves.

Chen Shuo went to Fu Bei's class on time to intercept people. After school, he rushed to the door of Class [-] and waited.

When Josie came out of the classroom, she happened to meet a group of people. Zhao Shihuan pulled her over with a smile, hugged her like a baby, rubbed her hair, and shouted shyly, "Qiao Qiao, what a coincidence, what a coincidence." can meet."

A teaching building is separated, but there is only one way to go out, and it is very likely to meet, so it is not a coincidence.

Looking sideways at the tall and thin Chen Shuo, Josie pulled the shoulder strap of her schoolbag, followed the crowd, and called out, "Sister Huan."

Zhao Shihuan smiled again, and helped carry the schoolbag.

Chen Shuo was cheerful and generous, giving out snacks for everyone along the way, nothing more than imported candy or something, he gave it to everyone else first, and then gave it to Fu Bei at the end, which was a bit of a cover-up.

I don't know how many times I have used this kind of routine. In the past few times, everyone really regarded others as good, and slowly figured it out, knowing that it was all because of Fu Bei's credit.The candies are different every day, with sweet and sour flavors, especially for little girls, so Josie, who was second to last, grabbed a handful and only two were left.

Chen Shuo was taken aback, but he didn't expect it.

The little girl seemed very dissatisfied with him, but she didn't say it out loud.

He was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he couldn't care less about a child. He took two candies and handed them to Fu Bei, "Here are these two for you. I'll bring more tomorrow."

Fu Bei didn't answer, and walked ahead with his long legs, "Keep it, I won't eat it."

As she grows older, Fu Bei has also changed a lot. In the past, she would show her emotions on her face, whether she was happy or not, but gradually she became indifferent. She treated everyone the same, and was gentle and gentle with her classmates and friends. , self-disciplined at home, outstanding in studies, excellent in everything.

Zhao Shihuan didn't change all the year round, and still took a ride with the Fu family, but Zhou Jiaqi didn't follow her now, it should be said that she didn't come a long time ago, I don't know if she didn't want to or what.Josie didn't take this into consideration. After all, the family affairs were unclear, and petty troubles were nothing.

She has been eating candy, which is obviously sweet, but her cheeks are sour.

Zhao Shihuan teased: "I like candy so much, I'll bring you a pack tomorrow."

She said, "No."

"Eating other people's food but not mine, you're turning your elbows." Zhao Shihuan said, using common sayings indiscriminately.

Josie didn't explain and continued to eat.

After entering the courtyard, Zhao Shihuan got out of the car first, and she and Fu Bei were the only ones left in the back seat. When they drove to the door of Qiao's house, Fu Bei said, "Don't eat."

Josie paused, turning her face away from this man.

"Don't like Chen Shuo?" Fu Bei asked.

Whether she was seven years old or 12 years old, the other party was very able to read her mind, but it was more indifferent before, and now it is a little better, just a little.

Josie's temperament is not the same as when she was seven years old. She was not so bored, and became a little spoiled. Then she said, "He doesn't know me well, so what's the use of liking him?"

The tone was rather aggressive, as if someone had offended her.

Fu Bei said, "If you don't know him well, you still eat his candy every day."

If they ask for it, they are not polite at all, and they won't even say thank you. After taking another bite, they must be unfamiliar, and they are just like an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf.

Josie froze, unable to find words to refute. After all, she was still too young. After holding back for a while, she turned her face out of the car window and whispered thoughtlessly, "It's not for me..."

People are little ghosts, and they understand all this.

Fu Bei looked at her, maybe he really didn't understand, maybe he did it on purpose, and asked in a low voice, "Then who is it for?"

The girl's voice is different from before, and there is a weird feeling when she speaks under pressure. Josie can't get to the bottom of what that feeling is, or maybe the little girl is ashamed to mention this so-called love between men and women, and her ears are inexplicably hot , not daring to meet Fu Bei's gaze, he leaned on the car window to look outside, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "It's not like you don't know."

The inside of the car suddenly became quiet, the sky was dark, the driver turned on the light at this time, and it suddenly turned on, but the light was still not bright enough, instead a blurred halo was drawn around the two of them.

Through the reflection of the car window, Josie found that the man was looking at him, so he was very uncomfortable.

Lines of sight converge in the car window, even if they are not facing each other.

"I don't know." Fu Bei said.

Josie was stunned, not knowing how to react for a while.

The driver didn't stop in front of Qiao's house, but drove directly into Fu's house. Compared with the deserted Qiao's house, the Fu's house seemed lively and harmonious because of the presence of the old lady.

After getting out of the car, Josie wanted to go out.

Before taking two steps, Fu Bei called out, "Where are you going?"

She didn't look back at anyone, but said, "Go home."

"Your parents won't go home today, so they asked you to have dinner here."

Actually no, it was the old lady who knew that the Qiao family was not at home, so she greeted them specially, and even sent a text message to Fu Bei, telling them to take them home for dinner after school.

Speaking is an art. The Qiao family was not at home. The old lady asked Josie to come over for dinner. She omitted a few words, but the meaning was quite different. At least it sounded better.

There is always an essential difference between the care of outsiders and the care of relatives.

Sure enough, Josie's face moved slightly, and her heart was quite complicated, but she was no longer on guard. She looked at Fu Bei suspiciously, as if confirming the truth. people.

Pursing his lips, he stayed.

The old lady's liking for her has not changed, and it can even be called a preference. In the past few years, Josie has stayed with the old man. As a child brought up by the old lady, she will naturally be biased.

"Just now I was talking about when you will arrive, so I'm back now." The old lady said kindly, and came to take off Josie's schoolbag, "I cooked a lot today, so I'll eat more later, and go away when I'm full." walk."

People in the Fu family treated Josie the same way. Only the old lady was sincerely kind, so nice that she didn't have any personal thoughts. She was really kind-hearted, and she roughly knew what kind of virtue Qiao Jianliang and the others were. She felt sorry for the children, so she did something. Do whatever you can.

Josie will repay the kindness of others with the same attitude. She obediently called out: "Grandma."

Greet the rest of the Fu family, and then help serve the rice and soup.

After eating, I really went for a walk. The old lady took the two of them for a walk outside, chanting a few words, and most of the time it was Josie who answered. The little girl was very good at talking, which made the old lady laugh from time to time.

After the walk, it was Fu Bei who sent Josie home, not because Fu Bei took the initiative, after all, the two families were close to each other, and they arrived in 2 minutes, but the old lady insisted on letting her go, saying that girls are afraid of the dark, so they should.

"Go back, I'll go by myself." Out of the gate, Josie said.

Fu Bei didn't stop, just replied, "I'll be read when I go back."

That's true, now that the old lady is getting old, she likes to talk about little things over and over again, and sometimes she can talk about it all night, so Josie can stand the talking, and other members of the Fu family would have used excuses to do things.

The wind at night was cold, and it was blowing straight. Josie wore less clothes, and raised her arms to fold her arms.

Fu Bei didn't respond, as if he didn't feel the cold.

Josie turned to look at the man.

Fu Bei is already quite tall at a young age, 1.7 meters three, and it is estimated that she will grow in the next two years. She has good bones, and no flaws can be picked out from any angle. Her skin is cold and white, her lips are thin, her nose is straight, and her facial features are deep and distinct. It is more outstanding than when I first saw it, and it is getting more and more outstanding.

Josie walked side by side with her, looking very small. She grew up much later than her peers, so that she herself doubted whether she would only be this tall, but fortunately, she sprung up like bamboo shoots later. .

The two of them didn't speak much, and when they reached the gate of Qiao's house, Fu Bei stopped first.

"I'll take you here and rest early."

Qiao's house was still empty, still empty.It's fine if you don't go in, you won't see the emptiness inside, and Josie doesn't need to cover up, she hummed and entered the house silently.

She didn't stop in the living room downstairs, knowing that the two of them would definitely not be back tonight, she went straight upstairs to her room, and opened the curtains when she entered the door. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Fu Bei walking back.

The road from Qiao's house to Fu's house is very short. From the moment she entered the door to the time she entered the room, the time was actually long enough for that person to go back.

The moon at night is especially round and white, and the sky is sparsely dotted with a few stars without brightness. Thick clouds gather at the junction of the sky and the earth, and the breeze blows on the face, making it comfortable and leisurely.

Time doesn't stop, the days go by without delay, every incident that happened seems to be insignificant, like a breeze blowing across the water surface, causing circles of ripples, and soon returning to calm.

The next day, Zhao Shihuan kept his promise and brought Josie a bag of candy, which was a variety she had never eaten before, and her father brought it back from Russia.

"It's quite sweet, try it."

Josie has just passed the period of changing her teeth, and she is still afraid of candy. She was confused yesterday, so she stopped eating today.

Zhao Shihuan refused, "Eat Chen Shuo's but not mine, Qiao Qiao, you are wasting my good intentions."

"I don't want to eat it for the time being. I eat too much sugar and I'm too tired." Josie made up and prevaricated seriously.

Zhao Shihuan teased her and said, "Put it in your school bag and eat slowly. I'll give it to you when I finish eating."

Josie really stuffed a bag of candies into her bag, which made Zhao Shihuan laugh uncontrollably, and rubbed her head with a smile. Make a fuss in the car.

It's not appropriate for children to laugh and make noise, with a sullen face and no expression all day long.

Fu Bei looked at the two of them and didn't react much, he just caught Josie steadily when he turned upside down.

Zhao Shihuan really owed it, she shamelessly made a gesture to rush over, scaring Josie into Fu Bei's arms to hide.

The two older ones never ask questions that shouldn’t be asked, nor do they show sympathy or pity. There will inevitably be bad things in the process of growing up, but there is no way. Different people live in different families and environments, and some things are outsiders. Can't change, very little can be done.

There was a heavy rain in Jiangcheng that lasted for two days. The sound of the crackling rain did not stop, and the gloomy sky was never bright.

It's embarrassing for the couple to remember that there was a daughter at home, and Qiao Jianliang made a dinner by himself when he came back in the evening.

It was raining too much, and it was inevitable that he would be drenched, so Josie swung the water into the door.

Qiao's mother's eyes were red, as if she had cried. Seeing her come back, she said, "Change your shoes quickly, and come over to eat."

Josie didn't call anyone, she changed her shoes and sat down on the stool, not saying a word and very quiet.

She knew that they had quarreled again, but she just stopped thinking about how hard it was for the whole family to be here today.

Qiao's mother gave the father and daughter two meals, and asked, "How is it at school?"

Josie didn't pay attention, she was just sitting and thinking about something, she was a little too late, Qiao Jianliang patted her hand and reminded, "Why didn't you talk when your mother asked you."

Only then did she regain her senses, looked up at Qiao's mother, and replied, "It's okay."

"I've been a little busy recently. I'll call the teacher in two days. She called me before, but she forgot to call back when she was busy."

Josie didn't speak, not knowing what to say.Who is Qiao's mother acting like? Before returning, it was already last month. At that time, Josie had a low fever and saw the school doctor. The head teacher wanted to contact the parents, but she couldn't get through to her phone. Schools look at people.

Qiao Jianliang still remembered this incident, and his face instantly turned ugly, but the teacher couldn't contact him at that time, and he was not qualified to judge Qiao's mother.

I gave Josie a dish with chopsticks, but Josie didn't eat it, but took a mouthful of rice. Qiao Jianliang felt that he didn't do well and didn't care enough for his daughter. After thinking for a while, he asked kindly: "Is it time for the monthly exam next week? Did you review your homework?"

Josie: "Reading."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."

"Ah."

On the education of their daughter, the husband and wife have very different ideas. Although Qiao Jianliang admires intellectuals, he will not force his children to study. After all, he is his own kind.Qiao's mother doesn't think so. Her background and experience determine her vision. She feels that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as she works hard, she can definitely do it. If her grades are not good enough, she doesn't work hard enough.

At the dinner table, no matter how much you want to say something, you have to hold back. Qiao's mother didn't reprimand her daughter, but she became more and more dissatisfied with Qiao Jianliang.

"Since there is an exam, go back to your room to read after eating, and review well, don't do as badly as you did last time."

Josie picked up the food by herself, chewing and eating slowly.

In the dead of night, as usual, listening to the occasional sounds of disputes outside, Josie was lying on the bed tightly wrapped in the quilt, and after a while, covered her ears and shrunk in.

The heavy rain was pouring outside the window, and it was pitch black inside and outside the house, with no light to be seen.

Until the morning, the rain fell intermittently for a while, and finally stopped, the sky was slightly brighter, and the morning light looked unreal.The couple quarreled until midnight, so they didn't have the energy to get up early. They were still asleep when Josie woke up, but the aunt had cooked the meal early.

For the first time, Fu Bei was waiting at the door.

She was a little surprised and asked puzzledly, "Why are you here?"

In the past, she was the one who took the car to Fu's house.

Fu Bei shook the things in his hand, "Grandma brought it for you, I must let you come here."

It was just two pieces of pastry, the kind the old lady usually likes to eat. Josie took it and opened it to have a look.She was in a sluggish mood today, she couldn't hide her emotions when she saw something was wrong, she just walked around without saying a word after picking up something.

Looking inside Qiao's house, Fu Bei's thin lips moved, and after a while, he followed, "Uncle Qiao, are they at home?"

Josie just nodded, not knowing where she was poked, she was fine last night, but now she is very sour.

With her back turned, she strode forward.

Fu Bei was taken aback, it was not hard to figure out what was going on, he was silent for a while, but finally didn't ask, just followed closely and stood behind.
