“…”
The air quieted down for a moment.
Seeing that no one was talking, Qiao Li broke the silence, "So, all of you who are going to the provincial capital to take the exam can participate in this training?"
Wang Zhaozhao nodded, "Yes."
"Where is Qing Province? Why do we want to go to Qing Province?" Xie Ailian asked.
"Mom, what's the point of asking that?" Wang Sibing complained. "What's the point of asking Zhao girl? This is arranged by the higher-ups, didn't you hear? It's a nationwide event, and junior high school students from all over the country are participating."
Xie Ailian glared, "You want me to tell you?!"
She was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
However, "You are such a stifling girl. It's such a big thing, and you haven't let out a single word for so many days."
Wang Zhaozhao was also glared at.
She laughed awkwardly, because she wasn't holding it in at all.
If I don't explain, I might get scolded even more.
"Why are there so many competitions? Tsk tsk, only you have a good brain." Xie Ailian couldn't help but sigh.
"Mom, her smart brain is a mutation from our Wang family." Wang Sibing said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?!"
Xie Ailian rolled her eyes in annoyance and warned, "You're a mutant!"
Qiao Li also glared at Wang Sibing, "Mutant...that's outrageous."
Even Wang Dahai gave him a warning look.
Wang Sibing touched his nose awkwardly, and Wang Zhaozhao grinned at him.
On Friday night, Wang Sibing suddenly told everyone that he was going to start driving, and Driver Wang was officially online.
"The previous ones were all short distances, just delivering goods to neighboring provinces and cities, and we could be back in two or three days."
"Will there be a long journey later?"
"Well, if we go far, it might take us ten days or half a month."
“…It’s not a good idea to be a driver.”
Xie Ailian curled her lips and said reluctantly.
Wang Dahai glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? He's a man in his twenties, not a kid wearing open-crotch pants. Are you worried about him going on a long journey?"
Xie Ailian: “……!”
"A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away..."
"Then he should stop attending this class and go back to farming! He can stay in that mountain den all his life with his face to the earth and his back to the sky. You won't have to worry about him anymore."
“…”
Xie Ailian opened her mouth, a little angry, “Old man, do you have to kill my throat?”
As a mother, is it wrong for her to worry about her son?
Not to mention her twenties, as long as she is around, even if she is in her eighties, she, as a mother, will still be worried.
"Just take care of Dudu. Eat and drink as needed. Don't overthink things. You won't be a drag, okay?"
Wang Dahai, contrary to his usual silence, spoke one sentence after another.
In fact, during the day, he heard Xie Ailian constantly talking about Wang Zhaozhao going to Qing Province for training during the summer vacation...
That’s it. I’m worried too.
So Wang Dahai had been planning to talk about Xie Ailian for the entire afternoon, and now he had the chance.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I'll pretend to be mute and keep my mouth shut. Okay?" Xie Ailian was annoyed by Wang Dahai's words.
But usually, Wang Dahai either keeps silent and lets her say whatever she wants, or when he speaks, she listens to him.
So no matter how angry she was, she listened to Wang Dahai and kept quiet.
"Fourth Uncle, remember not to drink. Also, don't learn the bad habits of some veteran drivers. Think more about your grandparents, your fourth aunt, your younger brother, and me, your eldest niece..."
Wang Zhaozhao saw that Xie Ailian had stalled and weakly continued the song.
When Xie Ailian heard this, she immediately said to Wang Sibing, "What Zhao girl said is right!"
Wang Sibing laughed and raised his hand to pat Wang Zhaozhao on the head.
"Niece, just like your grandma said, you have so many competitions to compete in, so you should focus your mind and attention on studying, haha."
"Studying is important, but a healthy family environment is also crucial. My dad is a bitch, and my mom is like that. I'm so grateful to be able to live with my grandparents and my uncle and aunt. I hope I can always be this happy."
"Hey! It's been a while since I've heard how good your tongue is. You're really good at talking."
Wang Sibing finished a bowl of rice and filled another one, feeling very happy.
Wang Zhaozhao chuckled, took a bite of rice, and then looked at Qiao Li.
Qiao Li, Qiao Li gave her a thumbs up.
The next morning, after breakfast, Wang Zhaozhao and Qiao Li set off for school together. The scene that Wang Zhaozhao had expected, that Qiao Li pulled Wang Sibing and was reluctant to let him go, did not happen.
"Didn't he live in the factory dormitory in the first half of last year and only return to the village once a week? This time he was out driving and came back in just two or three days." On the way, Qiao Li answered Wang Zhaozhao's question.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
Yes.
"I must have been led astray by my grandmother."
When her grandmother heard that her fourth uncle was going to be a driver and that he would have to travel long distances, with a trip every ten days or half a month, her attitude immediately changed and she felt that being a driver was not a good thing.
She was led astray...
"However, Zhaozhao, what you said last night really touched Fourth Aunt's heart. It was said very well." Qiao Li smiled and patted Wang Zhaozhao's head.
Wang Zhaozhao felt two light weights on his head and shook his head happily.
Because of Qiao Li’s words, the stone in Wang Zhaozhao’s heart flew away.
When I arrive at school and walk into the classroom, my good mood is written all over my face.
"Zhao Zhao, are you going to the city in the afternoon?" Xu Yanni asked her before class.
"To the bookstore?"
"You can also go for a walk, mainly to the library."
"good."
Wang Zhaozhao was very willing to go to those two places. Now, she didn't need to go with several classmates. After all, she had been to the city many times and even to the provincial capital. Her grandmother would not disagree.
Sure enough, when I went back at noon and talked about it, Xie Ailian didn't object, but she wasn't very happy about it either.
"How about...Grandpa and grandma, can you take Dudu with us?"
"I'm not going! Hurry up and eat, or your classmates will come and have to wait for you. Go early and come back early. Don't run around, and don't eat other people's food..."
What would happen if two little girls met a kidnapper?
Xie Ailian thought, why not she go with them?
Wang Zhaozhao noticed it, and quickly finished his meal in a few mouthfuls. After putting down the bowl, he went back to his room to take shelter.
Did she dare to say that she was being sarcastic by inviting her grandmother to go along?
She went back to the room to get ready, and then kept her ears perked up to listen to the noise outside. When Xu Yanni came, she hurried out and pulled Xu Yanni away.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm leaving."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared.
Xie Ailian: “……!”
"This girl is getting wilder and wilder." She complained to Wang Dahai.
"What? Do you really want to go? The two girls are going to the bookstore and the library."
"What's the matter? I just can't bear to spend the fare..."
“…”
Wang Dahai thought, it’s really a good thing you’re reluctant to spend the money on the bus fare.
