Chapter 257 Heartache



After dinner, Xiaoqi reported his safety in the dormitory group.

I asked Jia Jia for the video of myself running and some photos, and sent them to the group.

After sleeping for the whole afternoon, I’m not sleepy now, but I don’t want to move either.

Xiaoqi felt lazy after eating, but he rarely felt this lazy.

The garbage was picked up by Jia Jia, a little classmate.

There was no need to run today, and it was not safe to go to evening self-study in this condition, so Xiaoqi simply dragged Jiajia to the rooftop.

The rooftop was also empty during the National Day holiday, with no one sitting on the tables and chairs.

Xiaoqi brought water, Jiajia brought drinks, and wrapped herself in a newly bought windbreaker. Jiajia took the big scarf that her mother forced on her, saying that it was cold and windy at the beach, and she was not happy about it, but it came in handy now.

The rooftop was very spacious, and you could see the stars when you looked up. The mountains behind were dark and steep, and the stars were twinkling in the sky. Liang Jiajia felt very satisfied as she sipped the sweet drink.

Xiaoqi drank warm water. At the age of seventeen, he already had the maturity of an old cadre. He liked to bring his own water cup. Fortunately, there was no wolfberry in it.

Such beautiful scenery is of course suitable for...browsing on your phone.

Both of them were speechless, leaning back in their chairs, enjoying the comfortable night breeze, and playing with their phones.

Under the guidance of classmate Jia Jia, Xiao Qi downloaded Honor of Kings and played a few games.

I was instantly addicted. It turns out that games are so fun. No wonder boys seem to like playing games so much.

And there seemed to be a lot of familiar people there.

She logged in using WeChat.

But she was still the lowest-level bronze player. Xiaoqi played with great difficulty and actually played five games in a row. She found that time had passed by in a flash and two hours had passed.

Jia Jia is already a Supreme Star, and in order to guide the teacher, she created a new account.

Xiao Qi looked at the time that passed by quickly and felt a little guilty. She hadn't indulged herself like this for a long time. She limited herself to one hour a day on Douyin, but basically she would not play until the time was locked, that is, she would control it within one hour.

Closed the game silently.

Let’s play again next time.

Or do I also need to switch to youth mode? I don’t know if there is such a mode. Will I be suddenly logged off in the middle of the game and scolded to death by my teammates?

When I opened WeChat, I saw that several groups were very lively.

In the class group, red envelopes are everywhere.

Classmates Nanbei Chao and Su Li seem to have rich families. Not only do they send out red envelopes all the time, but you can also get dozens of dollars with just a click.

He said it was to add midnight snack to everyone.

Xiaoqi flipped through the thread and saw that it started by talking about her marathon race, but then it went off topic and was now talking about the delicious food in each classmate's hometown and posting pictures non-stop. It was quite lively, and she didn't interrupt. She just looked around and left.

In the dormitory group, roommates all sent blessings to Xiaoqi.

Even on WeChat, Wei Cheng was like, “That’s great!”

Just by looking at these two words, you can imagine her satisfied expression.

Mi'er was jumping around in the group, as lively as her real self.

Yunshu showed his true colors as a rich second-generation tycoon and gave a big red envelope to the four people in the dormitory.

The quota was fixed, and Xiaoqi got 166.66, as did the other two.

Then there is the foreign teachers’ party group.

Garen posted some photos of his handsome but strong running figure, and then started talking about Xiaoqi.

Su is really amazing. The last time I sang on the same stage with her, she was the champion.

This time I participated in the marathon with her, and she was the runner-up and broke the record.

The group is very lively and people learn English very quickly.

The constant "unbelievable" is incredible...

There are also photos and videos.

Xiao Qi showed up briefly, but they were just discussing the competition and the "autumn outing". They were planning to go to Shanya Village, and Xiao Qi had said before that he wanted to participate.

Xiaoqi is good at English and can also work part-time as a translator.

We discussed in the group what specific preparations we should make. The roads in Shanya Village are difficult to walk on, and everyone should prepare their own equipment. It is best not to wear shorts or short sleeves, as it is easy to get cut by weeds on the dense forest trails.

If you want to have a barbecue, you also need to prepare ingredients.

Xiao Qi participated in the discussion for a while, and when it seemed like it was almost done, she was assigned a task to prepare the seasoning and stopped talking.

The dormitory was not as lively as usual at this time, and there was no noise downstairs, but looking at the time, I had to go downstairs, otherwise the lights would be turned off soon.

There are still mosquitoes upstairs, and Jia Jia is obviously more attractive to mosquitoes. With her sitting next to him, Xiao Qi feels like he is sitting next to a living mosquito coil, and the mosquitoes don't bite him.

It was quite late, and Xiaoqi hadn't called her parents yet. If she did, she would probably scare them and make them think something had happened to her, so Xiaoqi wanted to call them tomorrow.

However, Gumula Village is not quiet, on the contrary, it is very lively.

Especially Su Guizi's family.

Even Su Guizi's mother showed up.

Sitting in the living room full of bamboo strips, Grandma Su usually dislikes the dirtiness of her eldest son's house, but today she sits steadily on a bamboo chair without moving.

"Youfu, what are you two still doing? We all saw it on TV. It was your daughter. Didn't you say before that Xiaoqi got admitted to university in Meng City, that Enhua University? The one running was your daughter. She was said to be a very fast runner. She came in second and got a prize of over one million. If I were you, I would pack up and go to Meng City right now. What are you still doing here? How much money can a runner make? You can't make a million even if you work for a lifetime."

"Big brother, you have been a loser since you were young. You sit here for half a day and can't say a word. Why don't you say something? Call and ask if it's Xiaoqi. She's a little girl with so much money. What if something happens to her? Ask her to send the money back. Your uncle's birthday is coming soon. As the eldest nephew, you have to show some appreciation. Don't embarrass yourself." Grandma Su said righteously.

Seeing Sheng Juanhua coming out with hot water, Grandma Su was also disgusted. After so many years, a money-losing girl popped up. Only the eldest daughter was still interested in her. At her age, she was still wearing red and green clothes and dressed in a weird way.

Sheng Juanhua had gone with her husband to sell bamboo weaving a few times, and she'd seen the world. She was naturally a bit of a shrewd person, good at talking, and with the two of them working together, their bamboo weaving sales improved, and they made some money, but they were still very frugal. Grandma Su disliked the red and green pajamas she'd worn for over a decade, the trouser legs worn out. It was simply that Sheng Juanhua had seen more of the world now, and her temperament was more generous, so she didn't look shabby in her old pajamas. But if she disliked something, she would dislike it no matter what.

"Mom, it's so late, Xiaoqi must be asleep. She is still a child. There are many people with the same name on TV. Didn't you always say that Xiaoqi is weak and can't grow up? Then it is impossible for her to win the award. Maybe you saw it wrong. Let's all go home. You don't have to go to the fields to work tomorrow." Sheng Juanhua said loudly.

Grandma Su was a little embarrassed by the criticism from her daughter-in-law. At that time, she despised the fact that the family only had one daughter, and she scolded her every day, saying that she was a money-loser and could not grow up, and that she was as skinny as a monkey and would never grow up. It would be better to give birth to a son to be safer.

She said this over and over again every day, and everyone in the village had heard it.

The others were just there to watch the fun, and were half-believing and half-doubting. Some were jealous, thinking it was one million and impossible, so they just came to join in the fun. Grandma Su was encouraged to come over by a few words from others.

Thinking that his brother's birthday was coming soon, if it was really his eldest brother's, he would have to let the eldest brother pay the most and give him something decent. His mind was full of these things. Now that his daughter-in-law had confronted him, he felt embarrassed and followed the crowd back cursing.

Everyone had left, and Sheng Juanhua and Su Youfu faced each other.

Su Youfu was dragged to the convenience store to watch it, which was on the evening news.

Others might not recognize her, but how could his own daughter not recognize her? Su Youfu was standing in the crowded crowd at the time, watching the girl running hard on TV, tears rolled down his face, and he wiped them away with his sleeves several times.

Others saw the one million bonus, but he saw his daughter working hard there.

He has a limp, so it's difficult for him to walk, let alone run.

The girl running on the wide road is his daughter.

He was proud and heartbroken.

It's more of heartache.
