intellectual norms

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then saw the young man opposite him who was waving excitedly at him. Xia Xiaoli's jet-black hair was blown up by the wind, holding a cup of milk tea in one hand, and holding a cup of milk tea in the other high-waving hand. Yellow helmet.

The voice calling him was also crisp, unlike the cock duck voice that boys in their adolescent voice change period often have, it is clear and translucent.

Qiao Yu also waved at him, Xia Xiaoli didn't even care about Jian Rong, and ran directly across the sidewalk to the opposite side, he was a little embarrassed, blinked his eyelashes, and said, "Mr. Qiao, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive this afternoon."

"It's okay, you don't like my sister making fun of you, do you?" Qiao Yu's words were meant to comfort him.

Xia Xiaoli was even more embarrassed. In fact, he usually didn't mind what his sisters said, but he cared especially in front of Qiao Yu, but he couldn't just tell Qiao Yu directly like this. After struggling for a few seconds, he decided to skip it altogether. this topic.

Qiao Yu didn't wear the thin linen suit jacket in the afternoon, but a white T, which was fluffy and soft, but his figure was more obvious. Xia Xiaoli seemed to be able to smell his body if he got closer. It was very hot. good smell.But not perfume.

Jian Rong also followed and called out "Teacher Qiao", Qiao Yu nodded and looked at him with some scrutiny.

Xia Xiaoli looked at the apartment behind her and asked, "Mr. Qiao, do you live here? I just saw you coming out of it."

"Oh, not yet, but I've thought about living here, and I just went to see the house." Qiao Yu said.

It was only then that Xia Xiaoli noticed that there was another person standing beside Qiao Yu, wearing a uniform like a housekeeper, who looked like a property management staff member.

Qiao Yu said to the property manager, "Let's finalize the set you just saw. You guys are going to sign the rental contract and clean up the house. I'll come over tomorrow morning to sign the contract."

"Okay." The man nodded repeatedly and withdrew first.

Qiao Yu looked at the two boys and said with a smile, "Do you have any other arrangements? If not, I'll treat you to dinner?"

Just as Jian Rong was about to say something, Xia Xiaoli nodded first and said, "Okay, we were going to have dinner and then play games."

"Jian Rong, right? What do you and Xiaoli want to eat tonight?" Qiao Yu asked the two children.

The two of them were high school students, and their dinner was just to go to a food stall or a small roadside store, or to eat something casually on the first floor of the shopping mall where the game room was located. Boys don't pay much attention to these things.

But Qiao Yu knew that Xia Xiaoli was a snack, and he didn't know why he liked to watch Xia Xiaoli eat happily, like a greedy cat.

Sure enough, when she asked Xia Xiaoli, Xia Xiaoli thought about it seriously, then raised her head and looked at Qiao Yu: "Crayfish?"

Qiao Yu smiled, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub his head. As soon as he took his hand out of his trouser pocket, he felt something was wrong, so he put it back again.

He nodded: "Okay, let me see which one is better nearby."

He took out his mobile phone to read Dianping. Although he is a native, he has been away for too long, and he is still in the process of getting familiar with everything in this city. He almost doesn't know what is delicious and interesting.

Xia Xiaoli pointed at the angled corner: "There is a row of crayfish shops right here, and there are quite a lot of people eating it, so it should be good."

The living areas in this area are dense, and a street is full of restaurants. In the evening, tables and chairs are placed outdoors, like a more refined food stall.

This season crayfish is standard in every restaurant, and almost all of them taste good.

In fact, when talking about crayfish, Qiao Yu felt that he wanted to eat them too. When he was abroad, he seldom ate them. When he came back to live at home, Professor Qiao and his wife never cooked them at home.

The three of them walked over, and after 2 minutes of walking, Xia Xiaoli was still holding the helmet. Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing again when he saw the cat's whiskers and ears on it. Said: "Xia Xiaocheng bought them all, so naive..."

"Is this a motorcycle helmet? You came here on a motorcycle?" Qiao Yu asked.

Xia Xiaoli didn't want to mention the little raccoon in front of Teacher Qiao, and was about to blurt it out, but Jian Rong burst out laughing and said, "Mr. Qiao, Xiaoli is riding a buggy."

Xia Xiaoli glared at Jian Rong fiercely, and weakly defended Qiao Yu: "That's a motorcycle..."

"Yes, yes, children's motorcycles are also motorcycles, oh, girls can also ride this kind of motorcycle." Jian Rong just added fuel to the fire, and Xia Xiaoli was going to annoy him to death.

"Which one? Baboon?" Qiao Yu guessed that the Baboon is a well-known car in China that is popular with girls, and its performance is also good. He nodded: "The Baboon is very good, and it's okay for boys to ride it."

Jian Rong laughed even harder, Xia Xiaoli's face was flushed, Qiao Yu guessed very close, the baboon is already acceptable to an adult, the limit of the junior version of the motorcycle, but his little raccoon is more than a level softer than the baboon , directly broke through the limit.

Qiao Yu looked at the two adolescent boys, wondering, "What's wrong? Are you smiling like this?"

Jian Rong covered his stomach and poked Xia Xiaoli: "Tell me, what are you doing?"

Xia Xiaoli broke her heart and said to Qiao Yu, "It's not a baboon, it's a little raccoon."

Oh...Qiao Yu had an impression of this car, so he didn't smile, and said, "Is it a Suzuki? The Suzuki Tanuka is very classic and a good car. Don't look at it as a mini, it can be considered a heavy motorcycle."

Is this still a heavy machine?Jian Rong was stunned, but Xia Xiaoli became happy: "Really, it looks good too."

"It's very retro, this model is very popular, and it was imitated by many other manufacturers later. Xiaoli has a vision." Qiao Yu praised him a few words, and then said: "You are not old enough, and it is illegal to ride other things. It’s a good transition with this one.”

"Yeah!" Xia Xiaoli didn't expect Qiao Yu's reaction at all, she didn't laugh at him at all, and she gave him face very much, she was very happy.

Sitting down outside the restaurant, knowing that adolescent boys are especially good at eating, Qiao Yu ordered several flavors, and brought over a few big pots of red food, looking very appetizing.

Xia Xiaoli sat opposite Qiao Yu, put on gloves, skillfully peeled the shrimp shells, sucked the shrimp juice and picked the shrimp yellow. The corners of her mouth soon became oily, and her face was also stained. Can't fall down.

After eating half of the pot in front of me, Xia Xiaoli remembered to ask Qiao Yu: "Mr. Qiao, do you want to move out by yourself?"

"Yeah." Qiao Yu didn't eat much, and the shrimp shells in front of her were less than half of Xia Xiaoli's. She nodded and said, "Yes, I just returned to China to live with my parents, and I'm still not used to it. It's more comfortable to move out."

After so many years, he was used to being free outside, and suddenly he was with his parents for a long time. Although Professor Qiao and Ms. Su didn't care about anything other than urging him to go on a blind date, they were still not used to it, and they needed more space psychologically than physically.

Xia Xiaoli was peeling the prawns, and looking from his side, she could see the apartment where Qiao Yu was about to live. There were many high-level white-collar workers, foreigners, and a few Hong university students from good families.

Qiao Yu said: "The location here is not bad either. It takes about ten minutes to walk to the place where I will be going to work soon, and it is even closer by car."

"Ms. Qiao is going to become a teacher at Hong University soon, right?" Xia Xiaoli asked.

"Yes, the Bridge Design Department of the School of Civil Engineering and Engineering will also work in the Design Institute affiliated to the school. They will teach and work on projects at the same time." Qiao Yu didn't treat these two as children at all, and I don't think they would understand , seriously explaining his work.

Jian Rong touched Xia Xiaoli's arm: "We're going to move to Hong University soon, right?"

That's right, Xia Xiaoli remembered, they will be in their third year of high school soon, and the campus of the third year of high school is in the urban area, just beside Hongda University.

This said, Qiao Yu also recalled that he also studied in the High School Affiliated to Hongda University in high school. In the more modern new campus, only the senior high school students who want to sprint for the college entrance examination are placed alone in the old campus.

Nowadays, quality education is promoted, and there are various extracurricular activities in the first and second grades of senior high school, but there is only one thing in the third year of senior high school. Isolating the senior high school students alone will help them concentrate on the exam.

Speaking of this, Xia Xiaoli remembered that she didn't have to wait until the third year of high school started, and that the wicked summer remedial classes would start next month, and she felt a little depressed.

The few holidays left with insufficient balance, the college entrance examination that he had to face... He didn't pay attention to these before, but now the reality suddenly piled up in front of his eyes, made him slow down his hand to peel the crayfish.

He complained to Jian Rong: "Is it necessary to bring up the class at this time, so that people can have a good meal?"

Qiao Yu looked at him and smiled: "Why don't you want to go to class so much, how is Xiaoli's grades?"

This tone sounded like a parent. Xia Xiaoli was not used to Qiao Yu asking such questions, so she lowered her head and muttered, "It's normal."

Jian Rong answered for him: "Xiao Li is smart, but she doesn't care."

"Oh?" Qiao Yu asked.

Xia Xiaoli didn't want to mention her grades, she failed every exam, there were about 400 students in the whole grade, and he always jumped up and down around 300, and at the best time, it was only about 260. He has put in too much effort in his studies, and the attached middle school is the key point of the province. It is no problem to pass the exam with this score. 985211 still has to work hard, but he doesn't seem to have this pursuit.

Everyone in the Xia family doesn't pay much attention to grades. Xia Yunhan has no principle in doting on children. Baizhu only needs a few children with good character and a happy life. Xia Xiaoli, who is lazy and lazy in her studies, often persuades him Don't work too hard, your body matters.

He is considered a child who grew up rich and has never experienced material suffering, and no one has ever educated him about the meaning behind words such as struggle and hard work, which make him sweat hard at first sight. The greatest hardship he has ever experienced is Coming from Xia Yunhan, I know that my father works very hard outside, exposed to wind and sun, and often has various construction risks. Although he earns a lot of money, it is not easy to earn.

But I just know that there is still a long way to go to experience it in person.

I also thought about sharing the burden for my father in the future. Xia Yunhan is getting old and can't do such hard work all the time. Xia Xiaoli has this idea in her heart.

He said to Qiao Yu, "It's not that I don't care, because I don't have any goals."

After a while, Qiao Yu said: "It's normal, I don't know what I want at this age, and I'll figure it out gradually."

"Mr. Qiao, are you also like this when you are studying?" Xia Xiaoli asked innocently.

Qiao Yu thought for a while, then shook her head frankly, but said nothing.

Earlier than this, Qiao Yu decided that he wanted to study abroad in college when he was in high school. He was interested in architecture very early and missed the best architecture major in the best university.

Xia Xiaoli sighed: "I know it is not, you are so good, you must have known what you want to do early in the morning."

Hearing this, Qiao Yu reflected for a while, and felt that it was not the case, and said: "Actually, everyone has a process of self-exploration. Sometimes you think you have identified this matter, this goal, but in the process you will find that it is not true. No, and then it will change, there are very few people who are truly consistent, and those are the lucky ones."

For example, he himself changed bridges after studying architecture for many years, but he did not regret his previous dedication to architecture.

At Xia Xiaoli's age, he still can't fully understand the meaning of Qiao Yu's words, so he nodded ignorantly, his mind wandering.

"Where's Jian Rong, how are you?" Qiao Yu asked him.

"It's not bad, the grades are not bad, but it can't be said that there are many goals." Jian Rong said.

Xia Xiaoli came back to her senses: "He has very good grades, in the top [-] in his grade, preferably in the top five."

"That's good." Qiao Yu nodded.

Jian Rong said: "My family is not as relaxed as Xiaoli's family. The pressure on grades is too tight, and I can't force it out."

Xia Xiaoli didn't want to continue this topic, and there were still twenty days of vacation, so he could escape for a while.

After eating the crayfish, "Are you full?" Qiao Yu asked them both.

Xia Xiaoli wiped the corners of her mouth and fingers carefully, "I'm full." The two boys nodded again and again, super satisfied.

Qiao Yu had already paid the bill, got up and said, "Aren't you two going to play games? I'm an uncle, so I won't join in the fun. Go and play."

Xia Xiaoli thought to herself that you were not an uncle. Looking at such a young age, she could be regarded as an elder brother at best, but her mouth was dull. She just nodded and said "OK", and then said, "Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for inviting us to eat crayfish."

Qiao Yu smiled, waved with them and walked in another direction. Xia Xiaoli and Jian Rong turned around and walked a few steps, then turned their heads, remembering that they hadn't talked to Qiao Yu all night about Xia Xiaoberry and Xia Xiaocheng, so they hurriedly Shouted: "Teacher Qiao!"

Qiao Yu turned around, Xia Xiaoli ran a few steps over, went to him and raised her head with wide eyes and asked, "You have met my two older sisters, do you like them? Which one do you like?"

Um?Qiao Yu was startled, looked at the bright and curious eyes of the child in front of her, felt that the answer was a bit tricky, and said after a pause, "They...are very good friends."

It was Xia Xiaoli's turn to be there in a daze, and her heart sank, thinking that the two sisters were going to be finished, and there was nothing left to do.
