Double Life: My whole world is you

"Yes, everyone will be fine in the future." Brother Jian nodded, then looked at her, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Brother Jian, my aunt has worked hard every day these years, you must take her for a physical examination!" Cheng Qiao said seriously.

"Yeah!" Brother Jian nodded, "You reminded me of this."

"I'm in a hurry this time and I don't think I can spare the time." Brother Jian said, "I'll take her there when I get back from winter vacation."

"That's good! Brother Jian, you must do a full body check-up." Cheng Qiao emphasized again, because she couldn't remember what disease her aunt died of.

"Okay." Brother Jian looked up at the starry sky. "We have the same sky, but I always feel that the sky in my hometown is more beautiful."

"That's for sure! Because we have relatives in our hometown."

"You are still very young, but you have a lot of insights." Brother Jian said with a smile, "However, you are at the age of learning now, so you should spend more time on studying."

"I know. You have been my idol since I was a child. I will definitely work hard to get into college."

"Come on, I hope you will be the next college student in our family."

"Yes, our family will have many college students." Cheng Qiao thought about her previous life. Her two cousins ​​were admitted to key universities, and her cousin who was born in the 2000s was admitted to No. 5 Middle School. But she herself, although her life was not particularly bad, would eventually have regrets. "Alas, it's just me..."

"You should work hard to get into high school. If you have difficulty going to college later, I can support you with my job." He said, "I know it's not easy for an ordinary family like us to support a college student, and it's already a luxury for me to study for a master's degree. It's not easy for your aunt to raise you and your brother alone, but if you study more, you will have a broader world in the future. So, if you have difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

Cheng Qiao was very moved when she heard his words. No one had ever said such words to her in the past thirty years of her previous life and the past two or three months of this life. Moreover, this was her role model for two lifetimes. She turned her head and looked away, and responded softly, "Brother Jian, I will definitely work hard in this life."

"Work hard, put aside all distractions and worries, and move forward courageously." Brother Jian touched her head, then turned and left.

[Yes, God has given me one chance, so how can I waste time on petty love affairs? I should study hard, so that it will be worth it to have another chance.]

……

November 2007, 11, the 7th day of the ninth lunar month, Wednesday, was the day Hong Jie got married. It was a sunny day. Although it was late autumn, the sky was gradually getting brighter before six o'clock. Cheng Qiao got up with her grandmother and went to the front yard. Her aunt was arranging vegetables in the living room. When she saw Cheng Qiao and her grandmother coming down, she was a little angry, "Mom, why don't you sleep a little longer so early?"

Grandma shook her head and said nothing. She sat down beside her and helped her to sort the vegetables. Cheng Qiao sat on the other side of her and saw her aunt's red eyes. She must have cried for a long time last night. For a child raised by herself, this moment is the most painful! She is even more reluctant to let go! But the more reluctant she is, the faster time passes. Soon the first group of guests arrived. The first one to come was my aunt. At this time, my aunt was over 50 years old. She was already a grandmother and half of her hair was white. She walked in with Sister Wan. At this time, Sister Wan was 20 years old, young and beautiful, with black hair hanging down to her shoulders, and a pair of single phoenix eyes that always smiled. As soon as she entered the door, she took my grandmother's arm and said, "Grandma, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

"I'm fine." Grandma pulled her to sit aside and patted her hand. "You've lost weight. Don't work too hard."

"Grandma, I'm not thin at all. I just changed to a new factory recently. The food in the new factory is good. I even feel like I've gained weight." Sister Wan said coquettishly.

"It's good to be fatter, it's healthier, and if you have food, eat more." Grandma said kindly, "Back then we had nothing to eat and had to eat tree bark. How could we have the good life we ​​have now!"

Sister Wan was about to answer when Brother Jian came out. He greeted Sister Wan gently, "Xiao Wan is here."

"Brother Jian, when did you come back?" Sister Wan's eyes lit up when she saw Brother Jian. Brother Jian was the idol of their generation in their family.

"I got home yesterday morning." Brother Jian said, "Has work been hard lately?"

"I recently changed to a new factory and the work is not as tiring as before." Sister Wan replied.

They chatted for a while, and soon other guests came, and Brother Jian went to greet them. Sister Wan was sitting next to Cheng Qiao. When she saw Cheng Qiao memorizing English words, she looked a little envious, "You are still the happiest at your age."

Cheng Qiao put down the book, turned around and looked at her, "Sister Wan, you can actually learn by yourself."

"After leaving school, it's not easy to study on your own. Besides the hard work, I can't concentrate on my books." Sister Wan said with some sadness, "Besides, I only went to junior high school for one year. After working for so many years, I'm only at the level of third or fourth grade in elementary school. I don't know where to start studying."

"Sister Wan, you are studying fashion design now, right?" Cheng Qiao said, "You can read more books on fashion design, maybe you can develop in this field in the future."

Hearing Cheng Qiao's words, she just shook her head and said, "It's not that easy."

Cheng Qiao knew that it was difficult to give up all distractions and study hard, especially when she was working. After a day's work, she just wanted to lie on the bed, so she had no intention of studying hard. She was at her age and in school when she could really study hard. She didn't spend much time with Sister Wan, and they only saw each other briefly when she went to her house to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival, so Cheng Qiao turned her head away and stopped looking at her, continuing to recite her English words...

After a while, my third aunt and uncle rented a car with two aunts and two little kids. Everyone stood up to greet them. My third aunt was not tall, a little fat, with short hair, and greeted everyone with a smile on her face. My third uncle was a full head and a half taller than her. He got out of the car and greeted everyone in a loud voice. When he saw Brother Jian, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're back!"

Before the two aunts came down, the two little kids couldn't wait to run out. Seeing Brother Jian and the other two happily circling around him, they finally came to Cheng Qiao and played around...

My eldest and second aunts were both out of town, and it was not easy for them to come back, usually during the Chinese New Year, so only Cheng's mother was left. I hadn't seen her for two or three months since I came back, and since neither of us had a cell phone, we hadn't talked on the phone. Thinking of this, Cheng Qiao missed her a little, so she kept looking out the door...

After a while, Cheng Qiao saw that everyone stood up to greet them, so she happily ran outside. At this time, there were two elderly people standing outside, who were about the same age as my aunt. Grandma was thin and small, while grandpa was tall. Grandma smiled and greeted them, "Mother-in-law, father-in-law." It turned out that they were my aunt's parents-in-law. Grandpa said, "Mother-in-law, congratulations. I was supposed to bring Zezhu and Zechun here, but they are about to take midterm exams and can't take leave."

Cheng Qiao saw that it wasn't her mother, so she smiled and greeted her before stepping aside...
