Double Life: My whole world is you

But at this time, they had just reached the intersection of the way home, and he proudly pointed to a small path next to the weeds and introduced it, "Sister, look, I cut this path."

Cheng Qiao looked at the weeds with barbs on both sides, followed him along the path of thirty or forty meters to the door of the house, and then she grabbed his hand, looked at the uneven bloodstains on his hand, and asked distressedly, "Does it hurt?"

Chengzhu pulled his hand back, braided his hands behind his back, smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it'll be fine tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Cheng Qiao into the living room and introduced her, "Sister, I also clean the living room."

"You are showing off your abilities again." Cheng's mother put her things in the room and came out, scolding, "I wonder who was trying to clean the dust on the roof and it fell down."

Cheng Qiao was puzzled, "Why did he fall again?"

"Well, the broom at home isn't high enough, so I stacked chairs on the table..." Cheng Zhu explained in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter if the house is a little dirty, we're only staying here for a few days." Cheng Qiao said, "Don't do such dangerous things next time."

"I won't do that next time. I'll get a bamboo stick and tie the broom to it when I come back next year."

"Where can I get bamboo strips?"

"Of course it's on the mountain, I know there is..." After he said that, he realized something was wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

Cheng Qiao curled her lips and said to her mother, who was cleaning up, "Mom, I will graduate next year and study in the city. We won't be coming back here for the New Year."

"This is your root, how can you not come back!" Cheng's mother stopped what she was doing and said.

"Our roots are where you are. Wherever you are is our home," Cheng Qiao said. "We don't live here, and we won't be happy if we return. We only stay for a few days every year. Although the house in the city doesn't belong to us, we live there and feel that it is our home."

"I know you're not happy to be back. When you grow up and have a promising future, we'll come back and build a villa. The way people in the bay look at us will be different." After comforting them, Cheng's mother was silent for a while. "I don't know if the landlord of the house in the city agrees that we spend the New Year there."

The custom here is not to allow married girls to go back home to celebrate the New Year. Most people even don't want others to celebrate the New Year in their homes, as it is said that this will take away their luck.

Alas! Cheng Qiao shook her head. Regardless of whether this idea was right or wrong, it was just someone else's idea after all. She still had to work hard to buy a house. Only when she had her own house would she feel at ease. Come on, the first step was to get into high school, and the second step was to buy a house.

It was already six o'clock when they got home. Cheng's mother tidied up the house for a while and then went to fetch water. Cheng Zhu and Cheng Qiao were about to go too, but Cheng's mother stopped them and said, "You guys stay at home and watch TV for a while. I'll come back and start preparing for the New Year."

"Mom, it's getting dark, we want to keep you company." Cheng Qiao ran to the kitchen, picked up the bucket and followed her out.

The place where they fetched water was still the well at her aunt's house. When they arrived, the back door of her house was still open. A short and fat figure appeared at the door. After seeing them, he closed the door with a cold face.

Cheng Qiao sneered. That figure was the wife of her second cousin from her aunt's family. She was the fattest person in the whole family, 1.4 meters tall and weighing 160 kilograms. She always had a gloomy face, and like Teacher Wu, she always made people feel that she was unhappy.

The second cousin is a handsome man. If the eldest uncle had not died early, Cheng Qiao believes that he would not have married this cousin's wife.

The three of them didn't speak a word after seeing the second cousin's wife's behavior. It was not until they were almost home that Cheng Qiao broke the silence, "Mom, have you seen Auntie in the past few days since you came back? How is she?"

After all, the aunt was the only person in this place who had given them warmth, and Cheng Qiao always missed her in his heart.

"She's fine! On the first day we came back, we went to her house to fetch water and stood together and talked for a long time." Cheng's mother said, "She asked Kaiyang to bring us some vegetables and food."

"Madam is so nice." Chengzhu joined the conversation and said, "There are also candies and rice crackers in it."

"Auntie is a nice person, but those cousins ​​aren't that lovely..." Cheng Qiao sneered twice when she thought of the hypocrisy of those cousins.

"Don't worry about them." Cheng's mother put the water in the kitchen and walked out, saying with a smile, "Let's start preparing for the New Year."

They were still frying and deep-frying their New Year's goods. It was already past ten o'clock when they finished. The three of them moved all the things to their sleeping room. Cheng Qiao and Cheng Zhu finished washing up. Cheng Zhu was watching TV, and Cheng Qiao was doing his English winter vacation homework. He would try to finish it today and tomorrow, and not leave it until next year!

It was already eleven o'clock when Cheng's mother finished cleaning up everything and came to the room. Cheng Zhu was already asleep on the bed, but Cheng Qiao was still doing her homework. She became more and more energetic as she did it, and she wanted to finish all of it tonight.

"Qiao, go to bed early and do it tomorrow." Cheng's mother said distressedly after going to bed, "You are too tired."

"Mom, the third year of junior high school is not hard. When will it be hard?" Cheng Qiao turned around and said with a smile.

"You must have been very hard at school these past few months. Take more rest during the holidays and do your homework during the day," Cheng's mother said. "You can also watch TV when you are free, instead of holding on to books all the time."

"Mom, I really admire you. Other parents want their children to study without sleeping, but you always want me to play." Cheng Qiao put down the book in her hand and joked, "Are you my real mother?"

"Stop talking nonsense and lie down and have some rest." Cheng's mother turned off the lights after she lay down.

It was a dark night, and the wind was howling outside. The windows covered with plastic bags were whistling. Cheng Qiao, who was not sleepy, asked Cheng's mother, "Mom, if I can't get into a key high school, can I still continue my studies?"

"You can go learn something." Cheng's mother's eyelids were fighting, and she answered Cheng Qiao's questions vaguely. Looking at Cheng's mother who had fallen asleep, Cheng Qiao rested her head on her hands and thought, what should I do if I don't pass the exam?

Before she could come up with an answer, Lin Qi in her dream gave her the answer, "Repeat a year."

Zhang Yandi said, "No matter which school you want to go to, I can help you."

"Wow, Yan Di, do you have supernatural powers? You speak so arrogantly!" Cheng Qiao looked at him and said with a smile.

"Believe me, if by any chance you fail to get into your ideal high school, I can really help you." Zhang Yandi said seriously.

"Forget it, don't think about this possibility. Let's just do the exercises!" Cheng Qiao said to herself. She returned to her seat and picked up her math winter vacation homework. No, I've already finished it! Cheng Qiao was fuzzy and entered another dream...

No matter what time she went to bed at night, her biological clock was now fixed at 5:30 in the morning. She glanced at her watch and looked at the sky outside which was still dark. Although fireworks were heard from time to time, Cheng's mother had not woken up yet, so Cheng Qiao decided to take another nap.
