Chapter 3: Family

Standing in front of the school, Qiao Lan was dumbfounded for a while.

It's time to go home after school, but she doesn't know where Qiao Lan's home is in the book.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that Qiao Lan's parents run a small restaurant right in front of the school, and since Qiao Lan's family is not well off, this restaurant should not be very big either, and its patronage might be average.

Qiao Lan walked across the road to the school and ruled out a few large shops that were doing a brisk business, just two of which led to Qiao Lan's parents' bistro.

It was really a "small" restaurant, with four tables that were suffocatingly crowded, and the restaurant was dark and smelled strongly of overcooked food with MSG. Qiao Lan had just stood at the door when a fat white man came in behind him, pushing Qiao Lan aside without dodging, "What are you doing standing at the door, where is the exhibition?

Qiao Lan frowned and stared at the back of the little fat man's head for a long time before following him in.

The shop serves home-cooked food and the students order one rice dish and two dishes, just like in the canteen. It was the end of the school day and there were many students in the shop. Qiao's father was in charge of stir-frying and Qiao's mother was in charge of serving the food to the students. Qiao Lan followed Qiao Yuan into the back kitchen, and Qiao's father, who was standing frying, saw his baby son and his chubby white face turned into a flower smile, "Qiao Yuan is out of school.

After pulling his son around and asking him questions, he seemed to see Qiao Lan, and when he saw that Qiao Lan had no eyes and would not even help, and when he looked at Qiao Lan's face, which was blue and white, he was furious and his fatherly smile was gone.

"Why are you standing there, with so many people in the shop and not helping out, do you have two eyes for gas?"

After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Lan put down her bag and went out to help Qiao's mother with the plates.

Qiao Lan didn't see any problem with this kind of work, she had done it all in her previous life to pay for school.

I took the stir-fried dishes out and then took the finished plates back, only to see Qiao's father stir-fry three dishes on fire and set them in front of little fatty Qiao Yuan as soon as I entered.

Two meat and one vegetable, clean dishes, not in the same league as the greasy, greasy dishes sold to students.

Qiao Lan had been saving money every day to buy lollipops for her classmates, but she was so hungry that she didn't eat them herself.

"Wash your hands, you can wash them later when you're done, go out and help your mother settle the bill", turning his head with a loving face, "Eat first, my son, if you don't have enough dad will do it again."

Qiao Lan gave Qiao's father a sullen look and then looked at Qiao Yuan who was eating happily, dropped the plate in the sink, washed his hands, picked up his school bag and left without looking back.

Qiao's father and Qiao Yuan, who had not reacted at all, cursed in anger only after a long time.

"Get your ass back here, who are you shaming? You're not happy to do a job, are you? You're not happy to work, you're not happy to study, you don't know what good it is to raise you..."

Qiao Lan carried her school bag out the door, shutting out Qiao's father's abuse from her eardrums.

I felt in my pocket and had five dollars left. I went to the shop next door and bought the cheapest and most filling bread, sat down on a small stone bench not far from the restaurant, took out my book and read it while munching on the bread.

Seeing is chemistry.

Qiao Lan is glad that it has only been a month since the start of the first year of high school, so there is not too much to learn, and even if she falls behind, she can catch up quickly.

Qiao Lan used to be a liberal arts student, so even though history and geography have been around for a long time, she still has a memory of them. Before the book, Qiao Lan was in her second year of university, studying finance, but she was very good at maths and had just finished her sixth grade exam in English.

So the main thing is to make up physics and chemistry.

After biting into slices of bread and reading a chapter on chemistry, it was getting dark outside when I finally saw the little fat man walking out of the bistro.

Qiao's father Qiao's mother stood at the door and told her son to be safe before returning to the shop.

Qiao Lan put his textbook away and followed the fat boy back to the Qiao Family.

The Qiao Family's house is an old one, only six storeys, bought by the Qiao Family a long time ago. Qiao Yuan walked into the hallway humming Above the Moon and was shocked to find a figure in the dark when she turned around.

When she saw Qiao Lan, she glared at him and kicked him in the leg, "What are you doing sneaking around, are you trying to scare me to death?"

Qiao Lan stepped over Qiao Yuan without looking at him, and Qiao Yuan howled, "You're blind!"

Qiao's grandmother, who was watching TV at home, heard her grandson screaming like a pig and opened the door in a hurry, "What's wrong, where's your brother?"

"Back," Qiao Lan dashed into the room, put down her bag and went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

Qiao Yuan came in crying with his feet covered, but when he looked down and saw a black footprint on his white sneakers, he was furious. These were the new shoes Qiao's father had bought for him the day before, brand new! Qiao Yuan

When he rushed into Qiao Lan's room and found no one there, he saw that the bathroom light was on and stood at the door and started yelling.

When Qiao's grandmother heard that it was Qiao Lan who had stepped on her grandson's foot, she instantly joined in, "You're so old, don't you have eyes when you walk?"

Qiao Yuan focused less on the pain in her feet than on her shoes, crying, "My new shoes."

"Let your third sister wash it for you later..."

"It's not new if you wash it..."

The grandmother and grandchildren are outside, one yelling and the other coaxing, and in no time at all they have taken it upon themselves to give Qiao Lan a lot of work to do.

Once Qiao Lan had no father and no mother, thanks to some kind-hearted people who sponsored her through university, and she always thought how great it would be to have a family with her parents one day.

Now that she has a mother and a father and a young man, Qiao Lan feels in her heart that it is better not to.

With such relatives, she would rather be an orphan.

She has to find a way to move out and finally get away from Qiao Family, but she is still a high school student and has to take her time in planning where she will move out and how she will pay for her living expenses.

Mulling this over, Qiao Lan ignores the commotion outside and fixes her gaze on her face in the mirror.

One look at the entire brow furrowed.

According to the book, Qiao Lan is a girl who has defied the odds by virtue of her looks.

In the novel, Qiao Lan was not a good-looking girl before high school, she was thin and skinny, and had nothing to do with being pretty. Later on, she fell in love with Chen Yaoyang, but was disliked by him, and was jealous of Song Yao, who hurt her and expelled her from school.

She was never heard from again until she returned several years later, and with her face, she hooked up with several dudes who were stupid and rich, and gave Song Yao a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, Qiao Lan is still the same yellow-faced clown.

In addition, Qiao Lan's face was obviously covered with a layer of poor quality make-up, perhaps BB cream or foundation, which was so white that it turned blue and purple. This is not to mention the fact that she has applied it to her face but not to her neck, so that her ears and neck are several shades darker than her face.

On top of that, the eyes are covered with a bizarrely bad eyeliner that turns the double eyelids directly into an inner pair.

The corners of Qiao Lan's mouth twitched slightly as she squeezed the cleanser and washed it twice, finally revealing Qiao Lan's features.

The face is very small, melon face, but because it is too thin there is no point of beauty, the bridge of the nose is very high, the lips are not girlish full slightly thin, a pair of Rui Feng eyes slender and upward, become the whole face of the point.

Qiao Lan's face is the opposite of Song Yao's, her features are more aggressive than Song Yao's.

No wonder they say Qiao Lan will return in the future, with such features, she definitely has the power to stun.

Although Qiao Lan is not quite dark, her skin is dull and yellowish, and she has no colour. Qiao Lan's long, straw-like hair, dry lips and skinny face made her look unrecognizable, and her eyes, which were the most important part of her look, were painted as an inner pair.

The first thing you need to do is to put on a lot of BB creams, but how can you look good without collagen on your face? Qiao Lan is a bit confused about the brain circuit of Qiao Lan in the book.

A good face, spoilt for human beings.

After washing her face and leaving the bathroom, Qiao Family's house was old but quite large, after all, she had two sisters, so Qiao Lan looked around and went into the smallest room to the south.

Before she could sit down, Qiao Yuan kicked the door open with her belly in her hand and pointed to the shoes in the doorway with her chin raised in a condescending manner.

"Wash it for me, it has to be as good as new", he said and urged Qiao Lan, "Hurry up, it will dry sooner, I have to wear it in two days!"
