"Mom, I made an appointment with Kaiyang to play badminton in the south of the bay tomorrow." Chengzhu begged, "Mom, I really want to play badminton. Kaiyang said he would borrow it from Chengxian tonight."

Cheng's mother couldn't stand his coquetry, so she compromised and ordered, "Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year, don't go to other people's houses. Don't talk nonsense when you meet people."

"Okay, thank you, Mom." Cheng Zhu jumped up happily.

So he, who was sitting on the right, just pulled up the quilt covering Cheng Qiao's feet while he was sitting at the table. Cheng Qiao turned around and said unhappily, "Brother, calm down."

He made faces at Cheng Qiao without caring. Cheng Qiao gritted her teeth! "Little guy, as a sister, I can't deal with you anymore." So she put down her pen and said to Cheng Zhu, "Bring your winter vacation homework to me."

"Mom said that we don't have to do homework during the New Year holidays." Cheng Zhu said and looked at Cheng's mother. But Cheng's mother was concentrating on knitting her sweater and ignored him.

Cheng Qiao said in a louder voice with a serious face, "Bring it here."

"Mom..." Cheng Zhu called out coquettishly, but seeing that his mother was still indifferent, he finally got up helplessly and took out three winter vacation homework books from his schoolbag.

Cheng Qiao took the math paper first. She had almost finished it, with only three or four pages left. She nodded, then took the English paper. She had also finished more than half of it, with less than ten pages left. She didn't say anything. Finally, she took the Chinese paper. Seeing that she had only written one side, Cheng Qiao was speechless, "You're still planning to play?"

"I, I'll go to the city to make up for it!" he argued in a low voice.

"After you finish these pages of math tonight, I'll check your English." Cheng Qiao threw the math winter vacation homework to him and picked up his English winter vacation homework to check.

Cheng Zhu had a bitter face, but he could do nothing about it. He looked at the TV and made a final effort to Cheng Ma, "Mom, do you still watch TV?"

"I don't want to watch it anymore, just turn it off!" Cheng's mother responded without even raising her head.

He did not give up and asked Cheng Qiao weakly, "Sister, do you see it?"

"I see, you big hammer, turn it off and come and do your homework." Cheng Qiao didn't want to spoil him at all, "I have finished all seven homework books, and you haven't even finished half of the three of them."

"Okay, I'll write it." Finally, Cheng Zhu turned off the TV helplessly, picked up his math winter vacation homework and sat on the table on the other side of the bed.

He dropped his pen before finishing a question. He secretly glanced at Cheng Qiao and saw that she was checking her homework carefully without any reaction. He had to pick up the pen silently.

But just as Cheng Qiao finished checking a page of English for him, Cheng Zhu shouted, "Sister, this question is too difficult! I can't do it!"

"Think about it again and mark the ones you don't understand." Cheng Qiao didn't waste time on him. She just replied to him while checking.

He worked on three or four pages of homework from 7:30 in the evening to 11 or 12 at night, and he didn't finish it until he fell asleep on the table.

Cheng Qiao had already checked his homework and had prepared for the entire lesson.

She put away the book and shook her head helplessly. What a naughty child!

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Cheng Qiao also woke up once at 5:30 and then continued to sleep until he woke up naturally.

When she woke up, Chengzhu was not at home. Cheng's mother was knitting outside in the sun. When she saw that she had gotten up, she immediately put down what she was doing and stood up, "I'll go get you something to eat."

"Mom, please sit for a while. I can cook some rice myself." Cheng Qiao said.

After dinner, Cheng's mother said, "What a coincidence! Lili came to see you today, but I didn't call you because you weren't awake."

"Yeah." Cheng Qiao nodded and didn't care.

Seeing her fetch another book and preparing to sit down and read, Cheng's mother reminded her, "Why don't you go to Lili's house and see if she has anything to do?"

"No need for that!" Cheng Qiao said, "You know, her grandmother doesn't like people going to her house."

"Then watch some TV!" Cheng's mother said, "Relax during the New Year."

"Okay, I'll get up and exercise after I finish watching a class." Cheng Qiao replied with a smile. "I haven't exercised in the past few days since I went home for the holidays. I feel like I've become lazy."

Just ten minutes after she finished speaking, Cheng Li came to her house again. She was very happy to see Cheng Qiao, "Qiao, you finally got up."

Cheng Qiaohe smiled at her and said, "Happy New Year! Can you sit for a while?"

"Come with me to sit on the hill behind for a while!" Cheng Li came over and took her arm.

Cheng Qiao saw that she didn't say hello to Cheng's mother after she came over, and she felt unhappy for a moment, so she said lightly, "If you have anything to say, just say it here! I'm too lazy to move."

"Qiao, go play with Lili for a while!" Cheng Ma's voice sounded beside them, with some hope in her voice.

Cheng Qiao saw the expectation in the two people's eyes, so she sighed and said, "Hey! You should come over and say hello to my mother first."

"Ah?" Cheng Li was stunned, so she said to Cheng's mother apologetically, "Madam Wang, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Cheng's mother smiled and waved her hands, "It's okay, go and have fun! I'm very grateful and happy to see you go and play with her."

Cheng Qiao was helpless. She didn't like this place, and indirectly disliked the people here. She had a deeper relationship with Cheng Yun, Cheng Dan, and Cheng Lin because they were classmates since childhood. However, Cheng Qiao only regarded them as familiar people, but not friends.

As for Cheng Li, she had an even lower favorable impression of her because she was one year younger than her and they were not classmates. And because her grandmother was strict, Cheng Qiao had never been to her house since she was scolded by her grandmother when she dragged Cheng Qiao to her house in the fourth grade. Although Cheng Li came to see her many times after growing up, she almost always asked her to treat her to a meal and even asked her to pay for her phone bills in the first few times. So much so that five years after they graduated, when Cheng Li contacted her again, she almost never replied to her messages.

Although Cheng Li got married eight years after graduation, she still came to see her several times after knowing her studio. Cheng Qiao was perfunctory, but she shed tears when she talked about her mother. At that moment, Cheng Qiao still felt sorry for her. After all, a child who did not grow up with her mother and whose father never took care of her must be lacking love in her heart, so when she heard her say that her husband was 14 years older than her...

"Qiao, what are you thinking about?" Cheng Li asked, shaking her hand as they sat on the hill behind Cheng Qiao's house.

Cheng Qiao shook her head. "What do you want from me?"

She lowered her head and thought for a while before she said with a lost mood, "Coincidentally, she didn't come to see me this year."

"You mean your mother?"

"Yeah." She answered and then raised her head excitedly, "It's okay if you don't come. I don't want to see her anyway."

"Next time she comes, please leave her contact information." Cheng Qiao still advised.

"I don't want it and I don't miss her. Anyway, I have no parents since I was a child, only grandparents." Her voice became louder, even with a hint of screaming.
