After finally getting a chance to meet Mr. Li, and seeing that Mr. Li actually smiled at her, Qiao Zijin, who was about to be proud of her popularity, froze up, and the "hmm" she was about to say got stuck in her throat.
Why did Mr. Li call Qiao Nan's name right away?
Qiao Nan has always been a bad talker, and when has she ever been as lovable as she is? How could Mr. Li mistake her for Qiao Nan?
Because Qiao Zijin's voice got stuck and she made a muffled hum, but her voice was a little off, Mr. Li thought that Qiao Zijin admitted it.
Seeing that this child was indeed the one he was looking for, Mr. Li smiled even more tenderly: "Xiao Qiao, you really raised a good daughter. She really looks like the daughter of our army, full of justice."
"But Xiao Qiao, you should also pay more attention to the child's health. Nan Nan, are you scared by what happened last time and are you sick? Is your throat uncomfortable?"
"..."
"..."
The people in the Qiao family were speechless for a while.
Qiao Zijin's "hmm" just now was clearly because she said it too quickly, and when she tried to hold it back, she couldn't hold it back and it went out of tune. How could she admit that she had a physical problem?
"Uncle Li, you've got the wrong person. This is my eldest daughter, Qiao Zijin, and this is my youngest daughter, Qiao Nan. Nannan, you haven't met Uncle Li yet, come, call him Grandpa Li."
Although Qiao Dongliang didn't know why Uncle Li came to his home, his respect for Uncle Li never changed.
"Grandpa Li." Qiao Nan called out.
Qiao Nan was also wondering why Uncle Li called her by name when he came to their home.
Of course, Qiao Nan was not angry that he called Qiao Zijin by her name, but was rather happy. Who made Qiao Zijin look bad?
"Oh, you are Nan Nan, you look so good. Xiao Qiao, you have raised a good daughter. Nan Nan is not a talkative person, but she is really a hard-working person. She has the simple and unpretentious spirit and style of our soldiers."
Old Li knew that he had made a mistake, smiled slightly, and didn't care about it.
Since Qiao Dongliang retired from the army, Qiao Dongliang didn't look for Old Li. Old Li also knew Qiao Dongliang's knot, plus his disappointment in Qiao Dongliang, the two families had less and less contact, and almost stopped visiting.
When Qiao Zijin was young, Old Li held Qiao Nan once, but after Qiao Nan was born, Old Li never saw Qiao Nan.
The two children are not much different, it is normal that Old Li can't recognize them.
"..." Qiao Nan couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard Mr. Li's compliment. Why did she feel that what Mr. Li said just now sounded so familiar? When Mr. Li mistook Qiao Zijin for her, he seemed to have said something similar, right?
Was he reciting a line?
The first time she met Mr. Li, Qiao Nan thought he was quite funny.
Qiao Dongliang may have been used to this situation of Mr. Li, so he smiled: "Uncle Li, my little daughter is really good. She has always been good at studying. She is not only the deputy monitor of the class, but also wins the Three Good Students and Outstanding Class Cadre awards every year. It's just that my wife is too careless. Once she accidentally burned Nan Nan's award certificate."
Qiao Dongliang immediately became a crazy demon showing off his daughter. When he mentioned Qiao Nan, his tone was very proud.
Since he retired from the army, he dared not see Mr. Li. Qiao Dongliang's biggest wish was that his two daughters could be excellent and promising during Mr. Li's lifetime.
In this way, he could take his daughter to stand in front of Mr. Li and say, "My choice was right, Mr. Li, I still haven't let you down."
He was a failure, but he raised a more promising daughter!
"Mr. Li, you don't know, Nan Nan is in the third year of junior high school. She failed the Chinese and math exams at the beginning of the school year. Because of this, her Chinese teacher was angry, saying that she almost got full marks for the composition, but lost marks for some rote memorization. She could have scored 99, but she only scored 85. Fortunately, Nan Nan scored 100 in English, the only one in the whole school."
After knowing that Qiao Nan was not only the deputy monitor, but also won awards every year, Qiao Dongliang reflected on himself and paid more attention to Qiao Nan's affairs.
This Wednesday, Qiao Dongliang specially asked for an hour off from the factory, went to Qiao Nan's school, and asked Qiao Nan's main teacher about his daughter's situation.
If you don't ask, you won't know. Once you ask, Qiao Dongliang can't help but feel proud.
All the teachers who teach his little daughter will give a thumbs up when they mention his little daughter.
Even when Teacher Li mentioned his little daughter's Chinese performance this time, she looked heartbroken, but that was also because of her deep love and sharp criticism.
Qiao Dongliang understood good and bad words, and every word of Teacher Li revealed a meaning. If Qiao Nan hadn't reviewed well, Qiao Nan would have scored at least 99 in this Chinese test.
99, and it was in Chinese, which was a score Qiao Dongliang had never heard of before.
At least the eldest daughter has done well in Chinese for three years in junior high school.
Facing the teachers' hints, Qiao Dongliang felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't blame his youngest daughter for telling others about his wife's book-selling.
After all, it was his wife who caused his youngest daughter's poor grades. But family shame should not be made public. This is such a mess! Although
Qiao Nan's score was the worst ever, it was also the best performance, which made Qiao Dongliang raise his head and speak in front of Mr. Li.
"Oh, really?" Mr. Li was a little surprised. He knew Qiao Dongliang's personality. Qiao Dongliang would never lie if it didn't happen.
Mr. Li is a grandfather, and his children are in school, so he knows that after entering junior high school, let alone high scores like 99 or 100, even 95 is considered excellent.
"She is really a practical person." Mr. Li looked at Qiao Nan with more and more loving eyes, just like looking at his granddaughter.
Mr. Li is old, and he doesn't have too many other ideas, just hoping that his children and grandchildren can have a promising future and study hard.
So children with good grades like Qiao Nan are naturally Mr. Li's favorite type, not to mention that the reason why Mr. Li came to Qiao's house today is because of Qiao Nan's good character.
"Xiao Qiao, do you know why I came to your house today?"
"..." Qiao Dongliang was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Li wants to see me for something?"
"I came to thank you on behalf of the Zhu family."
"Zhu family, Uncle Zhu's family?" Qiao Dongliang was not familiar with the Zhu family. The Zhu family was Uncle Li's in-laws, and the son of the Zhu family married Uncle Li's daughter. The
Zhu family and the Li family were both families in this compound, and they were well matched, so the status of the Zhu family was not low.
"Yes, it's your uncle Zhu's house." Uncle Li's face flashed with excitement. After suppressing his emotions for a while, he continued, "You should have heard about my daughter's affairs."
