Chapter 29 Exhausted

It was already night when Joan's plane arrived in Chongqing.Joan came to this strange yet familiar city again, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

Joan's parents picked him up at the airport. By the way, they had been playing in Chongqing for a few days, and they planned to go back with Joan tomorrow.

The moment Joan saw his parents, he felt that his choice was right, even though he was not burning his youth to fight like everyone he knew.

In fact, Joan has been thinking about the meaning of hard work for a long time.He can understand the meaning of work, but why should all the time be used to work.

While in the car, Joan sat in the back seat and suddenly asked, "Mom and Dad, will you blame me?"

Joan's mother felt a little baffled: "Huh? What do we want to blame you for?"

"It's just that I didn't do anything to honor my ancestors..."

"Can you honor your ancestors by writing code in Shanghai?"

"That's not going to happen."

Joan's father said gently: "An'an, life is your own, how you want to live, what job you do is your business."

"Yes, the two of us just want you to have a good time."

"Parents, if I..." Qiao An originally wanted to tell his parents about Cheng Xu, but he didn't dare to say anything.He knew that his parents probably wouldn't object, but he didn't want to let his parents down again.

Before his parents arranged so many blind dates for him, he knew what his parents hoped for.

"Mom and Dad, I have a friend who has a dream, so I encourage him to pursue his dream. Should I tell him about my current decision?"

Joan's father: "Tell him when he gets better! Doing anything is difficult at the beginning. Although your decision has nothing to do with him, telling him may make him want to give up."

"oh, I understand now."

Qiao An's mother also said: "It was very difficult for me and your father to open a restaurant at the beginning. At that time, if someone asked us to give up, I really couldn't hold on."

Early the next morning, Joan was called up by her parents and got on the car home.Every time I go back, the scenery outside the window is different, unlike the scenery in the city, which is difficult to change except for people around.

A whole piece of forest stretches endlessly on the mountains.The mountains are basically dyed red, but the abandoned farmland is still overgrown with weeds and green.

When I got home, it was already afternoon, and Qiao An hadn't figured out how to tell Cheng Xu's parents and his parents.

In the evening, Cheng Xu's mother took the family to their house for dinner.At this time, no one came to the general B&B, so Cheng Xu's parents were quite free.

Although it was only November, it was already very cold on the mountain, and Qiao An was already shivering a little after walking out of the courtyard.

Cheng Xu's mother gave Qiao An a hug pillow.

During the meal, Cheng Xu's parents didn't ask Qiao An too much, but Qiao An knew that the young people who came back here from their hometown couldn't stay outside anymore.

"An'an, I want to learn how to shoot videos recently, do you know how to cut videos?"

Joan nodded.Anyway, in Qiao An's opinion, cutting videos seems like someone who can learn computers. He doesn't know why, but he knows it anyway.

"Auntie, what video do you want to shoot?"

"Just take some daily photos. Anyway, your brother Xu has a lot of cameras, so I'll ask him to borrow one for fun."

"It's good. I see that many people on the Internet like to watch that kind of daily video."

"Then you teach me another day. The photographer will let your uncle do it."

Cheng Xu's father refused when he heard such a great mission from heaven: "I don't know how to do this!"

Qiao An smiled: "Auntie is pretty, just pat on whatever you want."

After a meal, Qiao An didn't know what reason to ask the four people in front of him not to tell Cheng Xu that he was back.

In the evening, Cheng Xu made a video call, but Qiao An didn't dare to answer it and switched to a voice call.

"An'an? What's wrong?"

"Brother Xu, I have something to tell you..."

"whats the matter?"

"If I'm not as good as you think, will you still like me?"

"I imagined you were not very well."

"Is that so?"

"Did you resign?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"How could your rubbish company give you a vacation! So, have you found something you really like?"

Qiao An didn't expect that Cheng Xu would have known about the things that had troubled him for several days.

"Not yet, but I don't hate it. Your mother asked me to help her edit the video, and I think I can try it myself."

"Well. I just bought something for you on Double Eleven. You ask my mother where she knows where to pick up the express delivery."

"Brother Xu, do you think I'm not motivated?"

"Why do you have to be motivated? Do what you like. I believe you will find it."

"Thank you."

"Then can I see your face now?"

Qiao An played the video again, Cheng Xu was still handsome, Qiao An suddenly felt very lucky to meet Cheng Xu.

Joan started to take care of the yard the next day.In January, there will be snow on the mountain, and another batch of tourists will be welcomed.He had to get the room ready before January.

Grandpa and grandma have done a good job of running a homestay before, and Qiao An only needs to tidy up.

Joan plans to buy some flower seeds next spring, and then removes some discordant flowers and plants in the yard.

Joan originally wanted to renovate the exterior of the house, but then thought that the guests who came here were all middle-aged and above, so he stopped in time.

In the past few days, Qiao An's parents went back to Shanghai, and Cheng Xu's parents also went to Cheng Xu's grandmother's house. There was no one at home, which made Qiao An feel a little too quiet.

Qiao An rode a bicycle to the town to buy some vegetables and some things needed for decoration, and then took the things Cheng Xu bought for him.

Riding a bicycle in winter is really cold, especially in the mountains where it is still very humid. Joann's hands were numb when he returned home.

Qiao An waited for a long time before unpacking the things Cheng Xu gave him. It was a big box. He rode very carefully on the way back by bicycle, for fear that the things on the back seat would fall off.

Joan took it apart only to find that it was a camera, complete with lenses and everything.Although Qiao An doesn't like photography, he knows that this camera is very expensive, even if Cheng Xu wants to give him a camera, he thinks a novice camera is enough.

Qiao An put the camera away carefully. He wanted to send a message to Cheng Xu, but he was afraid of disturbing him, so he decided to wait until the evening.

When Joan was eating alone, he thought of his grandparents again. He has a question that has not been resolved until now, which is why his grandma said that it is because of grandpa that he continues to open the homestay.

He suddenly remembered that he shared the stories of his grandparents on the Internet during the summer vacation, so Qiao An opened the website where he originally uploaded the stories of his grandparents.

As soon as he opened it, Qiao An found 999+ messages on his account. Qiao An, a small and transparent person on the Internet, has never experienced such a scene, so he quickly clicked on it to see what was going on.

Qiao An found that his previous sharing was extremely popular. Many people commented on the stories of their grandparents and mothers below, and many people urged more details and follow-ups. They praised Qiao An for his good writing and should continue to write.

The time of these messages varies, but basically a month or two has passed. Qiao An sent a message saying that he would try his best to make a sequel, but he didn't know if anyone could see this message.

In the afternoon, Qiao An took the camera that Cheng Xu had given him and went out to take random pictures. After taking pictures, he chose a few photos to send to Cheng Xu at night.

In the evening, Cheng Xu called the video on time.

"Brother Xu, I went to get what you gave me today, why did you buy such an expensive camera?"

"Like it?"

"It's...not bad. I took a few photos this afternoon and sent them to you."

"It's almost there, remember to practice more."

"When I was at home alone today, I suddenly thought of my grandparents, and then I opened the website where I uploaded stories about my grandparents before, and found that many people were urging me to update."

"I read yours too, it's very well written."

"When did you read it? Why didn't you tell me so many replies?"

"You were so busy before and I told you that you didn't have time to write. Now you just have time, so you can write slowly."

"But I don't know many details, and my grandparents haven't told me about it."

"You try to write, so many people want to read it. Are you afraid of being alone at home?"

"It's really quiet outside now. The dogs don't bark this late at night."

"You have to be afraid to sleep in my room."

Joan said quietly: "There is no one in your house."

"Then I will accompany you. I will watch you fall asleep and I will sleep again."

"Don't deal with these messy little sweets, you still have to go to work tomorrow."

"I want to see you for a while, you go to sleep."

Qiao An couldn't resist Cheng Xu's words, so he honestly leaned the phone against the pillow and turned to face the phone screen.

Qiao An had the illusion that Cheng Xu was by her side.

"I really want to hug you to sleep."

Qiao An's voice was so low that Cheng Xu couldn't hear it clearly.

It wasn't until Qiao An fell asleep that Cheng Xu hung up the video and fell asleep.
