Early the next morning, Qiao Liang woke up and heard something in the yard. He bowed from the kang and looked out the window. The wind stopped outside and the snow stopped, and his parents were sweeping the snow.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Qiao Liang was about to get dressed, but then he saw two red envelopes on his pillow.

Qiao Liang knew that this was the New Year’s money my mother gave her. It was like this every year, but in previous years, there were one, so why were there two this year?

Qiao Liang then put on his clothes and went out, took the broom from his mother's hand, and asked his mother while sweeping the snow: "Mom, why do you have two New Year's money this year?"

"One of them is yours, and the other is for Xiaoya. Xiaoya's parents are gone. I will send you the New Year's money every year from now on, and you will send it to her." Mom said.

Qiao Liang felt warm after hearing this. He remembered the message Xiaoya sent her to her last night, and her nose felt a little sore again.

Qiao Liang rubbed his nose, then asked his parents to sit in the main hall, and then kowtowed to his parents. This has always been a custom, and it has been like this since he was a child.

After kowtowing, parents were about to get up, Qiao Liang said, "Dad, mom, don't move first."

"What?" said my mother.

"I kowtowed my just now, now I, Dai Xiaoya, kowtowed to you." Qiao Liang said and kowtowed again.

Parents looked at each other, and then mom sighed slightly, with a painful gaze in her eyes.

Then my father took Qiao Liang out to wish the elders of the village family.

Most families in Qiaojiayu have a surname, and they are a clan's big surname. Some elders are not as old as Qiao Liang, and are even younger than Qiao Liang's father. However, regardless of age or seniority, they still have to kowtow in a regular manner.

They spent the whole morning paying New Year's greetings, and then Qiao Liang and his father separated and drank at the homes of their older peers in the family. After drinking at noon and then drinking at night, the day passed.

After drinking in the evening, Qiao Liang watched Jiangzhou news on TV and saw reports that An Zhe, Luo Fei and other city leaders went to a village in the suburbs to have a group party with the people. Xu Honggang, Chu Heng and Zhang Haitao all participated.

This is a routine project on the first day of the year every year. This year is still the case. After the group party, everyone goes back to their own houses and finds their own mothers.

Thinking of the New Year that Anzhe and Anran spent last night, Qiao Liang felt comforted and regretful that Anran would not see her when she came back this time.

Because he drank a lot of wine on this day, Qiao Liang then went to bed.

The second grade of junior high school is a traditional way to go back to the parents' home. Qiao Liang's sister and brother-in-law came back with the children. Sister and brother-in-law took the children to kowtow to parents and receive New Year's money. Then the child kowtowed to his uncle. Qiao Liang gave the children New Year's money, and the whole family was happy and very lively.

In the third year of junior high school, Qiao Liang went to the city to attend a high school class reunion, and was in a hotel in a bustling downtown area of ​​the county.

Among the high school classmates, Qiao Liang is now doing well. It is natural that Qiao Liang has become the center of everyone's revolve around him. The classmates are drinking with him, saying true or false praise with various moods and mentalities.

It is said that the friendship between classmates is the purest, but after entering society, everyone has changed a lot due to different experiences, environments and current situations, especially those in the city who looked down on rural people at the beginning, and now they are in a relatively complicated mood when facing Qiao Liang who is better than them.

Faced with the toasts from the classmates, Qiao Liang maintained a humble and low-key attitude, and refused everyone, and unknowingly drank a lot of them.

Although I drank a lot, Qiao Liang was not drunk.

After the class reunion, everyone dispersed, Qiao Liang left the hotel and walked staggering along the sidewalk.

When passing by the door of a hotel, Qiao Liang turned his head casually and then stopped, looking straight at him.

There were a group of young people chatting excitedly at the entrance of the hotel. Among these people, Qiao Liang saw Xue Yuan and Xiao Tao. At this moment, Xiao Tao was standing aside and bowing his head without saying a word. Xue Yuan was smiling next to her and whispering something. Looking at Xue Yuan's expression, it seemed to be a bit pleasing.

Qiao Liang frowned. Xiaotao and Xue Yuan were high school classmates. They were here at this moment. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have just finished the high school class reunion.

I have always been reluctant to let Xiaotao meet Xue Yuan, and I have never wanted Xue Yuan to know that Xiaotao is working as a nanny at Anzhe's house. I didn't expect that they would meet anyway.

This seems inevitable.

When Xue Yuan saw Xiaotao this time, he didn't know if he knew that Xiaotao was working as a nanny at Anzhe's house. Seeing Xue Yuan keeps trying to please Xiaotao, Qiao Liang felt unsure.

At this time, Xiaotao looked up and saw Qiao Liang, then said something to Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan also saw Qiao Liang and was slightly stunned.

Then Xiaotao walked over to Qiao Liang, and Xue Yuan followed him.

"Brother Qiao, happy New Year." Xiaotao greeted her first.

Then Xue Yuan also said happily: "Director Qiao, happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, you two." Qiao Liang laughed, "You guys are..."

Xiaotao was about to speak, but Xue Yuan took the lead: "Our high school classmates gathered together today. Xiaotao and I were high school classmates. We happened to meet her today. Haha, what a coincidence, I only found out today that Xiaotao is also in Jiangzhou..."

After hearing what Xue Yuan said, Qiao Liang's heart sank slightly. Obviously, this kid knew where Xiaotao was doing things.

Qiao Liang then smiled and said, "Hehe, yes, it's a coincidence. I didn't expect you two to be classmates."

Xiaotao's expression was slightly uneasy at this time, and she said to Xue Yuan: "You go there first, I'll talk to Brother Qiao."

"Okay." Xue Yuan nodded quickly, then went back to continue chatting with other classmates, sweeping Qiao Liang from time to time while chatting.

Qiao Liang didn't want to stand here and said to Xiaotao: "Go ahead."

Xiaotao nodded, Qiao Liang raised his foot and left, Xiaotao followed.

When Xue Yuan saw Qiao Liang and Xiao Tao left, he felt a little anxious, but helpless.

However, Xue Yuan had already made up his mind at this time.

Qiao Liang and Xiaotao walked forward for a while, then Qiao Liang stopped and looked at Xiaotao: "Don't Xue Yuan already know?"

Xiaotao knew what Qiao Liang was asking and nodded.

"You told him on your own initiative?" Qiao Liang asked again.

"No, it was the other students who started chatting accidentally, Xue Yuan knew about it." Xiaotao said hurriedly.

Qiao Liang nodded. Since Xue Yuan and Xiaotao were classmates, since they attended the class reunion, it seemed reasonable.

Qiao Liang continued, "I think Xue Yuan is very enthusiastic about you."

Xiaotao twisted his hands together, lowering his head and silently.

Qiao Liang knew that although when she was visiting Anran School that time, Xiaotao saw Xue Yuan had a girlfriend. Although Xiaotao also knew that her current identity was not worthy of Xue Yuan, she still seemed to be a little confused about Xue Yuan. This should be related to her first time giving Xue Yuan. No matter what, the two had that kind of relationship. For girls, this relationship seemed to mean something.

Seeing Xue Yuan’s enthusiasm for Xiaotao today, Qiao Liang couldn’t help but feel inexplicably worried.

But although I was worried, Qiao Liang didn't have to say much, after all, this was someone's private matter.

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang said: "Xiao Tao, I won't comment on your private affairs, but I would like to remind you from a guy's perspective that you must know everything and not be blinded by halo and illusions."

Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "Well, Brother Qiao, I understand, I know you are for my own good."

"Okay, I'll leave." Qiao Liang said as he raised his foot and wanted to leave.

"Hey, don't worry, Brother Qiao, I happened to see you today. I have something to come to you." Xiao Tao grabbed Qiao Liang.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Liang looked at Xiaotao.

Xiaotao then took out two old heads from his pocket and handed them to him: "I'll give it back to you."

"Return it back to me?" Qiao Liang blinked, "I don't remember when I would lend you money. Could it be that you gave me the New Year's money?"

Xiao Tao pursed her lips and smiled: "This is the New Year's money my dad gave me."

"Your father gave it to you, why do you want to give it to me? Or give it to me again." Qiao Liang became increasingly puzzled.

Xiaotao said embarrassedly: "These two hundred yuan was deceived by my father from you."

"Ah?" Qiao Liang opened his eyes wide, "I'm lying? When did such a smart person have been deceived? I have never seen your father before, and I don't know what he looks like. How did he deceive my money?"

Xiaotao felt even more embarrassed: "On New Year's Eve, my dad met you in the county town and showed you the photos..."

"Damn, I damn, is your dad the person who looks at the photos?" Qiao Liang was stunned.

Xiaotao nodded awkwardly: "My father likes to tinker with this in the slack season. He has known you from me for a long time and knows some of your situation. He often watches TV. When he sees Secretary An's news, he knows that you are following him and remembers your appearance. So he recognized you that day when he sees you, so he fooled you in a sacred way...

When I was having New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, my dad drank too much and gave me New Year's money. When I was proud, I told me about this. When I heard this, I was so angry that he fooled you like this. I scolded my dad and was about to return the money to you when I returned to Jiangzhou. I happened to meet you today..."

Qiao Liang was so amused and laughed when he heard this. No wonder Chenxian was so godly. So that's it. It turned out that he was Xiao Tao's father.

In this way, the Banxian brought himself to his restlessness these days and finally he could let go.

Qiao Liang let out a long sigh: "Damn, your father said seriously at that time, and it made me feel uneasy when I remembered it."

Xiaotao continued to embarrassment: "Brother Qiao, don't believe what my dad fooled you. He made up everything he made up. Just pretend that he didn't say anything, and don't take it to heart."

"Well, I understand." Qiao Liang felt relieved and waved his hand, "I don't want this money."

"What?" Xiaotao was stunned.

"Just treat the New Year's money I gave you." Qiao Liang grinned.

"How can this work? You are not my elder, how can you give me New Year's money? And this money was obtained by my dad fooling you. It's not the right way, so of course I have to pay it back to you." Xiaotao refused.

"Okay, don't be polite. It's also considered that your father can fool money from me. Although I am not your elder, as the elder brother, it's reasonable to send you New Year's money." Qiao Liang said.

Xiaotao blinked and then laughed: "Did you really give it to me?"

"Nonsense." Qiao Liang said.

"Okay, when I return to Jiangzhou, I will treat you to dinner." Xiaotao was no longer polite and put away the money.

"No need to eat. Since you have collected the New Year's money, do you have to kowtow to me?" Qiao Liang grinned.

"Hmph, can you bear it if I kowtow to you?" Xiao Tao curled her lips.

"Can you bear it, come on, just knock now, knock here." Qiao Liang was excited.

"Puff--" Xiaotao smiled, "I'm so beautiful that I'm not."

"Then otherwise I'll wait until I go back to Jiangzhou and then knock on me?"

"No, they are all of them, how can you kowtow to you? You can dream..."

As she was having fun, Xiaotao’s cell phone rang. Xiaotao took it out and saw it: “My classmate is looking for me, I’m going back.”

"Okay, go." Qiao Liang nodded, and then Xiaotao left.

Search and follow: Tianxia Yike, you know.

Looking at Xiaotao's back and thinking about Xue Yuan, Qiao Liang pondered for a moment and continued to walk forward.

Then Qiao Liang remembered Xiaotao's father's deception of him and laughed silently. Damn, he was so smart that he could even lose his way.

At this time, Qiao Liang's heart completely disappeared because of the words Xiao Tao's father said. Since he knew the truth, he would not worry anymore.

But Qiao Liang never dreamed that Xiao Tao's father's inadvertent deception quickly became a reality.
