Qiao Yu's business trip was quickly put on the agenda, and he was leaving a week later. When Xia Xiaoli went to school normally in the morning, Qiao Yu was already waiting to check in at the airport. He received a message wishing him well and coming back early.

The people from the Prospecting Institute have met Qiao Yu several times at work meetings before, and they are familiar with each other. Everyone is very simple and looks like they have been weather-beaten all year round, but their actual ages are about the same as Qiao Yu. All of them lamented why people are so different from each other, and some people seriously came to ask for maintenance tips.

Qiao Yu: ...Perhaps, falling in love makes a person young? ?

After completing the check-in procedures, Cheng Yu poured Qiao Yu a cup of hot water in the waiting room, smiled and said, "Teacher, why do I feel that you are different?"

"Thank you." Qiao Yu took the water glass: "What's the difference?"

"I can't say it, I just feel... It seems that the spirit is different, as if you are very happy, and this kind of happiness can be felt by the people next to you." Cheng Yu said.

In fact, what he felt was much more obvious than what he said. He still remembered what Qiao Yu looked like during the summer vacation in August. At that time, he met the legendary designer for the first time and felt that he was really like a star. With light, but there is always a lingering indifference around him.

This kind of indifference may be forged by experience, maybe... In short, Cheng Yu felt that Qiao Yu was a little too indifferent. He calmly handled work, taught in class, and everything seemed to be easy to handle, but he always felt that something was missing.

However, after the Spring Festival, Cheng Yu felt that what was missing in Qiao Yu's body was made up for.

Comparing it now, I found that there was something missing, like enthusiasm, or passion.

Joyful emotions are the most contagious, and now Qiao Yu exudes a sense of joy from the inside out, and even the staff around him are radiated inside.

He himself is ignorant of this, but he clearly feels that this love is brand new to him. There is no temptation, no suspicion, and no tense confrontation. Only then did he know that love can be so easy and enjoyable one thing.

Xia Xiaoli is young, but in some respects, he is more like an adult than Lin Zhihua.

Qiao Yu felt that what Cheng Yu said was right, it was indeed different, but it was a secret, and after taking a sip of hot water, he couldn't help but secretly smiled and said nothing.

The life in the third year of high school has entered into an extremely boring and monotonous cycle. Xia Xiaoli gritted her teeth every day, and Qiao Yu had been away for more than two weeks. The workload is really heavy, and the two of them hardly have the opportunity to chat together, so they can only leave messages to each other on WeChat in their busy schedules.

"Brother Qiao, I made seven papers for the first time today, and now I don't remember my name."

"Where are you now? I'm eating the pepper chicken in the cafeteria. It's too far from yours. I miss you once I take a bite."

"Today's geography question, North Africa is near the Tropic of Cancer. It is controlled and affected by the subtropical high pressure zone. The air flow is mainly subsidence, forming a typical tropical desert climate and Mediterranean climate, so it is very dry. Brother Joe, you need to drink more water. "

……

After the second monthly exam in the next semester, Xia Xiaoli returned home on a rare weekend. Xia Yunhan's project in Xingshui has been completed and accepted, and they have all returned recently.

Uncle Zhong came to pick up Xia Xiaoli, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw a scene that stunned him——Baizhu and Xia Yunhan were arguing!

This is similar to opening a skylight in Xia's family. Xia Xiaoli has never seen her parents lose their temper with each other or blush since she was a child. Xia Yunhan's temper is kept at work and left to outsiders. He has no limit to his family. The source of his favor is his wife Baizhu.

Baizhu married Xia Yunhan, and from being poor together, the economy improved soon. When the second daughter was born, she moved to the villa where she lives now. As far as Xia Yunhan can do, give her the best , Baizhu has no regrets about this marriage and the choice she made.

The only thing is that after nearly 30 years of marriage, the time spent between husband and wife is really too little.

She has been a full-time mother all her life, and the children were born one after another, and she took care of them one by one. For a long time, from the time she got married until her two daughters were in middle school. When Xia Xiaoli was in elementary school, although Xia Yunhan was away for a long time, But the family has always been full of people. Although Baizhu is dizzy from the noise every day, she enjoys being busy.

I didn't know it when I was in it. This is actually a kind of balance, but now this balance has been broken.

In the past six months, many things have happened in succession. Xia Xiaoberry came out of the closet and went to live with her girlfriend. Xia Xiaoli moved out of the house in her third year of high school. , and now she is in a relationship, and there is no one in sight. In the blink of an eye, the three children Bai Zhu worked so hard to raise all flew out of the bird's nest, and she was the only "lonely" old man left at home.

In the past six months, she has been comforting herself that it is normal for the children to grow up, and the children will always have their own lives, but her husband will always be by her side.

However, Xia Yunhan has been busy outside for more than half a year, and finally went home to stay for a few days. It was less than a week, and the bed was still warm. The next project was about to start again, and there were several more at the same time. In addition, the past few days at home have not been peaceful, conference calls and video conferences, and often stay in the company until midnight, and Baizhu fell asleep when she came back.

Xia Yunhan was going to go to the project site again tomorrow, and when Baizhu heard the news, she immediately exploded.

It was as if a certain valve that had been suppressed was suddenly opened, and Baizhu burst into tears, crying and complaining that everyone in Xia's family had no heart, and they ran out one by one, and that the mother at home had no "use value", so she put her away. Mother left her behind and ignored her, and Xia Yunhan did the same. He knew that the money would already be enough for the project, and the family members, wouldn't they need to be with him?

The scene of the quarrel was very unbalanced, basically Baizhu complained tearfully, Xia Yunhan accepted the criticism with a correct attitude, and did not fight back if he was beaten or scolded. stop.

Xia Xiaoli consciously sided with her father, and the father and son went into battle together, accepting education and criticism together.

And he also took part of his father's anger. Baizhu poked his forehead and scolded: "You are also a little white-eyed wolf. Your wings are not hard yet. Once you go out, you won't be home for half a year. I know you are a third year in high school. You are busy and you have to take the exam." The best school with the best major, your mother supports you with all her strength, and you still feel annoyed by delivering meals to you every week. You are more heartless than your two older sisters! Just like your father! The old little one Even a single virtue is not good..."

The father and son sat neatly, not daring to move, letting Baizhu's violent wind and rain beat down on their heads and faces.

Xia Xiaoli also thought it was rare for her mother to be so angry. He realized that Baizhu must have been suppressed for too long.

It was hard for her to wait for a gap in her scolding. After all, scolding is also a very tiring thing. Baizhu gets tired easily after she gets fat. After scolding for a while, she is exhausted physically and mentally. Holding a cup of tea, he fanned her back: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I immediately pushed back the project, what kind of project is it, it's not as important as my wife."

Baizhu panted, looking at the father and son sullenly.

Xia Xiaoli suddenly realized that her mother had never had a life of her own. The three children took up most of her energy and past time. She thought that was her life. However, when the children grew up and her husband had to work outside , she found that she was "left behind", which was the worst feeling.

If she had her own friends, or her own hobbies, even if it was square dancing, she wouldn't be like now, guarding such a large house with no one, and her whole being would be swallowed up by loneliness.

Thinking of this, he moved to Bai Zhu's side, put his arms around her, and said affectionately: "We don't care about our mother, mother is the most important thing in our hearts, don't you think so, Dad?"

Xia Yunhan nodded in cooperation, and Xia Xiaoli said: "When we are not at home, mother often looks for my aunt? My aunt is always alone. I think you can chat for a long time every time she comes to see you."

The relationship between the two sisters of the Bai family has always been very good. Baizhu said angrily: "Your aunt is not like me. Life is so rich, you participate in various activities, and you have a lot of friends."

"Mom, you can do it too. Next time my aunt will take you to those activities. Her friends can also be your friends." Xia Xiaoli said.

Baizhu hesitated for a while, Xia Xiaoli struck while the iron was hot: "I remember that my aunt often went with you, but you had to take care of me and my sisters at that time, so you didn't have time. Now that you have time, you can go out and meet more people. Play around, now is the best and freest day for mother." While talking, she winked at Xia Yunhan.

Xia Yunhan patted his thigh: "That's what I said too."

Baizhu glared at him, and Xia Yunhan was instantly scared again: "Of course, I will definitely adjust the company's arrangements later, try to stay at home as much as possible, and if there are any fun activities, let's go together!"

It can be clearly seen that Baizhu's angry state has gone down, she is a little tired, she somehow changed the subject, and said to Xia Xiaoli: "See? In your father's job, you can't even take care of your family. Let's It is enough to have a father like yours at home, but you are not allowed to do this, and you will not even be able to find a wife."

Xia Xiaoli was stunned, huh?no...

He wanted to say it but couldn't, I, I, I, I have already found it...
