Double Life: My whole world is you

"Goodbye, senior." Everyone stood up and returned the greeting.

Cheng Qiao smiled at them gently, revealing a shallow dimple on the right side of her cheek, which made people feel happy.

"Senior, we don't need to wait for fate to see each other again, we see each other every week." A girl with short hair walked to the first row and said with a smile, "As long as you ask me to come, rain or shine, I will come."

"Us too." Many people around echoed.

"Thank you." Cheng Qiao bowed sincerely again. She looked at everyone with loving eyes, said nothing, and finally turned and left. But before she walked out of the classroom, she reluctantly looked back at everyone, and finally turned and left gracefully.

After the three of them arrived at Cheng Ma's dumpling restaurant, Wu Qi suggested, "We don't have school tomorrow, and we don't have evening self-study tonight, so let's go out and celebrate!"

Cheng Qiao was a little confused, "What are you celebrating?"

"Celebrate that you finally don't have to go to study classes!" Wu Qi responded.

Cheng Qiao curled her lips, "No need for that, thank you."

"It's just an excuse for us to go out and play together!" Wu Qi complained coquettishly, "I've been back for a week and I haven't gone out to play."

"I have a part-time job later." Cheng Qiao declined tactfully.

"Huh, you're so uncute." Wu Qi pouted angrily.

Cheng Qiao ignored her, quickly finished her dumplings, said goodbye to Cheng's mother, and then stood up to leave. Wu Qi saw that she didn't pay attention to him the whole time, and didn't even plan to tell her that she was leaving, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. At this time, Zhang Yandi passed by him, patted his shoulder and said, "Isn't your birthday a few days away?"

He came back to his senses as soon as he heard it, and quickly caught up with Cheng Qiao and asked, "Xiao Qiao, is it too much to celebrate my birthday again?"

"Okay, I got it." Cheng Qiao responded calmly.

"Have you prepared my birthday present?" he asked excitedly.

Cheng Qiao was a little embarrassed, but it was only for a moment. In order not to disappoint him, she still said, "I'm ready."

"Ah! I'm really looking forward to the gift you give me." Wu Qi said happily.

Before Cheng Qiao could answer, Zhang Yandi said, "We'll know on that day."

"Good! I hope time goes by faster." The three of them said as they separated at Zhenghe House. Zhang Yandi looked at Cheng Qiao and asked, "You're not ready yet, are you?"

"No! Just go to the gift shop and buy one when you come back tomorrow!" Cheng Qiao replied.

"No need to trouble you. I bought an extra gift. I'll give one to you!" Zhang Yandi said happily.

"Okay." Cheng Qiao agreed readily.

That night, Cheng Qiao worked until 10:30, and when Cheng's mother came back, she urged her to go to bed early. Although she didn't have to go to school the next day, she had to get up early to go to town. Cheng's mother only planned to close the store for half a day, and she had to rush to open it at 5 pm.

So they were woken up at 6:30 the next day. After a simple breakfast, Cheng's mother took them from the railway station to the bus station. Halfway through the walk, Cheng Qiao suggested, "Mom, you can also go take the driver's license test when you have time."

"Get a driver's license? Do I drive?" Cheng's mother obviously hadn't thought about this question.

"Yes! After all, we have to wait for many years for my brother to drive!" Cheng Qiao sighed, "You can drive, so we can buy a car for you, and it will be convenient for us to go back every time."

"You're really so proud of yourself just because you made some money?" Cheng's mother scolded him unhappily, "We have to pay back your uncle Zhang's 50,000 yuan, and you still want to buy a house. Now you want to buy a car."

Cheng Qiao was speechless, the old generation's thoughts came back. So she shut up and said she would take the exam after graduating from high school in two years, and then buy it herself.

Cheng's mother glanced at Cheng Qiao and saw that she was not very happy, so she coaxed her carefully, "Qiao, although we have made some money now, we still have to save money. After all, you will need money later. You will spend a lot of money in four years of college, and your brother's junior high school fees are also very high. Three years of high school and four years of college, these expenses are very high. It is unknown how long our store can be open in the future. When we do anything, we must think ahead and think behind."

Cheng Qiao nodded and responded calmly, "I know! I'm just suggesting that if you don't want to learn, then don't learn. I didn't say you have to buy a car right now."

"Sister, don't be angry. When I grow up, I will learn how to ride a bicycle." Cheng Zhu comforted Cheng Qiao and looked at Cheng's mother. "Mom, why don't you like cars? My aunt can ride a bicycle, but you can't!"

"Alas! I also learned it when I was little." Cheng's mother looked into the distance and sighed softly, "I remember when I was about your age, an uncle in the clan had a bicycle, and we lined up excitedly to learn how to ride for a whole morning. I was not so talented, so I didn't learn how to ride, and I fell down. But I felt that I could learn it as long as I tried again. When I got home and told your grandmother about it, she scolded me and said that no girl would learn how to ride a bicycle. She didn't let me learn, and I never learned it again."

"You just listen to your grandma too much. Doesn't your aunt know how to do that?" Cheng Qiao replied.

"Your uncle taught your aunt how to do things after she got married." Cheng's mother glanced at Cheng Qiao and sighed silently, "We didn't have the luck you have now! Girls should give way to boys. Among the six of us sisters, only your aunt had one year of junior high school. I studied in the third grade. Your three aunts and your eldest aunt didn't have any education."

Although China has been liberated for many years, the issue of gender equality has always been a problem in rural areas. Even if she lived to be 30 in her previous life. Her friends who got married and had a girl as their first child are trying to have a boy as their second child. It will probably take two generations of efforts to truly achieve gender equality!

"Mom, it's really not easy for you. When I grow up, I will make a lot of money and make you happy." Chengzhu promised.

Cheng Qiao took a step back and took her arm, and whispered to comfort her, "Mom, all the suffering is over! My brother and I are growing up day by day, and your good days are ahead."

"Mom is so happy to have you two babies!" Cheng's mother also held Cheng Zhu with her other hand, "You are mom's life."

Cheng Qiao smiled, immersed in the love that adults give to minors. In fact, the 18 years of underage are happy. Not only will the adults here give more love, but even strangers and society will give more love. It’s just that at this age, you don’t understand, and sometimes you will feel the sadness of youth. When you grow up and look back on the present time, it may be the time when you have the most love in your life!

They took a bus directly from the city to the town, and after asking around, they found a self-built house not far from the town that my aunt had rented. The house had four bedrooms and a living room, and three small houses were built in the backyard as kitchens. My aunt rented two bedrooms and a kitchen.
