When Qiao's second aunt returned home again, she was still alone.

Qiao's grandmother and Qiao's mother were a little upset that Qiao's second aunt had been married and had children for over a year and had never seen her second son-in-law, let alone her grandson, except once when she got married.

Qiao's second aunt said vaguely that her husband was too busy and the children were being looked after by a nanny, so she didn't have the heart to tell Qiao's grandmother and Qiao's mother that her husband didn't see her family at all, so she didn't want to come here at all, nor did she want Qiao's mother to see the children.

Qiao's second aunt did not say so explicitly, and Qiao's grandmother could also hear it, so she was a bit angry.

Qiao's second aunt didn't want to listen to the old lady's incessant arguments, so she went to talk to Qiao's mother and went to Qiao Lan's room. "

Qiao's second aunt comes back so few times a year that she has no idea that Qiao Lan has been away from home for more than six months.

After more than half a year had passed, Qiao's mother's anger towards Qiao Lan slowly subsided, and she did not go into too much detail, mainly because she did not want Qiao's second aunt to know that Qiao Yuan had stolen money from her family.

Qiao's second aunt didn't think much of it either. She knew that Qiao Lan was doing exceptionally well and just assumed that it was for the convenience of Qiao Lan's studies.

"I have something else to do," Qiao's second aunt says, a little disappointed.

"What can I do for her," Qiao's mother said with a deflated mouth.

Qiao's second aunt gave a "tsk", "You asked me to ask around for Lao San before, and I've got news now."

Qiao's mother is now energetic, suddenly excited, "Is that the one you said last time that the family still has a few houses to be demolished?"

"Qiao's second aunt waved her hand and didn't tell Qiao's mother that she had told him about Qiao Lan, but he couldn't see her, and said in a roundabout way that Qiao's second aunt was uneducated and that her sisters at home might be the same as her. Qiao's second aunt scolded him behind her back for a month.

"The last one was not good, those second generation of demolition of the family a little money can not find the southeast and northwest, to find those who have economic acumen, both can make money and rich. I just gave Lao San a much better than the last one, his parents are also a restaurant, not too old only twenty-five, although not particularly handsome but also human, but the height is quite tall, a lot of inquiring about him, I had a hard time to get a conversation, fat water does not flow outside the field, good or for the family to keep."

Qiao's mother was more and more delighted to hear it.

Qiao's second aunt said that he was the only child in his family and that his family was no worse off than his second son-in-law.

"I thought I'd just ask Qiao Lan when she was here and make an appointment to meet her some other time, but why didn't you tell me Qiao Lan was in school?

"Qiao Lan is doing very well now, and she looks better than you.

He took out his phone and flipped through it a few times to find a photo Qiao Yuan had saved from a posting, showing Qiao Lan in her leader's uniform, with a great body and good looks.

Qiao's second aunt looked at her phone for a long time before exclaiming, "I haven't seen her for half a year, but she's gotten so good at it.

The more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes, so beautiful that Qiao's second aunt is jealous.

She has seen many beautiful women since she married her current husband, but she has never seen one as beautiful as Qiao Lan.

Qiao's second aunt was instantly happy and Qiao's mother said, "Then you can call Qiao Lan later and ask her to come out to meet you. "

Qiao's mother is all for it.

Qiao's mother doesn't believe that Qiao Lan can still be so ungrateful.

After Qiao's second aunt left, Qiao's mother started to contact Qiao Lan, but she couldn't find any contact information for her, and the number of her class teacher she had saved was useless now, as Qiao Lan was already in her second year.

When Qiao Yuan returned in the evening, she asked Qiao Yuan to go to Qiao Lan's class tomorrow and ask Qiao Lan to come home, saying that something good had happened.

Qiao Yuan asked Qiao's mother what the good news was, but Qiao's mother didn't tell Qiao Yuan to stay away from such things as children's families.

Qiao Yuan was reluctant, but Qiao's mother gave him a hundred yuan and Qiao Yuan agreed.

The next morning, just after morning exercise, Qiao Lan and Bai Yu were walking back from the playground when they heard her name being called from behind them, and when they turned around, they saw Qiao Yuan, who had gained weight.

Qiao Lan's brow furrowed at the sight of the Qiao Family, and was even more annoyed when he saw that Qiao Yuan was followed by several young boys.

Qiao Yuan came after her in two steps, never having called her sister before, but this time in front of her classmates, she was calling her sister with such affection that Qiao Lan felt goose bumps on her body.

Turning her head to ask Bai Yu to wait for her, she turns around and asks Qiao Yuan what she wants.

Qiao Yuan turned back to his 'brothers' and raised his chin in triumph before saying to Qiao Lan, "Mum says you should come home this week, she wants to see you about everything."

"What is it."

"I don't know," Qiao Yuan said, "Mum said it was good anyway."

Qiao Family What good can come from people.

Qiao Lan didn't bother to talk to Qiao Yuan, "Let's talk about what's going on, if you can't make it clear, forget it, I have work to do this weekend, I can't go back."

The Qiao Family is a quagmire for her, and she doesn't know if she'll be able to go back.

Qiao Yuan didn't expect Qiao Lan to be so difficult to talk to. Subconsciously, he wanted to bully Qiao Lan just like before, but when he saw how beautiful Qiao Lan was now, and how the boys in his class at school could not hide their admiration for Qiao Lan, he suddenly felt a little bit scared and could only watch Qiao Lan walk away.

He said that he had already brought his message anyway, and it was up to Qiao Lan to listen or not, and who told his mother not to make things clear, and he didn't know exactly what he wanted with Qiao Lan.

Although he had suffered at Qiao Lan's expense, Qiao Yuan felt relieved when he returned to the group of "brothers" who exclaimed that he really knew Qiao Lan and listened to the admiration of the crowd.

Bai Yu waited for Qiao Lan to return and said, "I saw this little fatty last time, and here he is again, who is it?"

"My brother."

"A brother in law!"

Bai Yu expressed his shock.

Look at Qiao Lan, and then look at that little chubby boy, he looks like he was born of the same mother.

At the back, Xiang Xiaohan looks away, she hardly plays with anyone in her class now, but she has become quite familiar with the rest of the girls' class who are very close, especially the girls from the two dormitories who are now walking with them.

One girl said casually, "Isn't that Qiao Lan's brother?"

"How do you know that's Qiao Lan's brother?"

"Qiao Lan's parents run a small restaurant in front of the school, I've been there a few times and I often see the little fat guy", a girl explains.

"Qiao Lan's family is quite ordinary," someone said, smiling, "maybe because Qiao Lan is so good and pretty, I subconsciously think her family is also very good."

Xiang Xiaohan interjected grimly, "If her family was well off, she wouldn't need to hook up with a handicapped person."

The girls who were close to Xiang Xiaohan were shocked and hurriedly pushed Xiang Xiaohan to stop talking nonsense, but they couldn't pull her away.

But as to why, Xiang Xiaohan never says.

Qiao Lan saw a handmade mural created by a foreign master one day and at first she just thought it was beautiful, but then she suddenly had an idea.

She made a lot of special trips to finally get the materials she wanted for the handmade mural.

The final figure made out of this fresco is a lucky grass.

The pattern is very simple but a little difficult to make, it is made by hooking the pattern one by one with thread, the process is very delicate but the finished product is beautiful.

The four-leaf clover has somewhat three-dimensional leaves and is very textured at a glance.

Tan Mo didn't tell Qiao Lan what he wanted for his birthday. The lyrics say that he wanted it once, but he didn't dare to ask for it once because he was afraid that even once would make Qiao Lan suspect something and find out something.

He sat on the sofa, clearly in the mood for a birthday, but not much of one.

Since Qiao Lan told him to go to the movies when he had time, Uncle Chan bought a lot of movies and showed them to him whenever he wanted.

He enjoys suspense-heavy films that are interesting to him, such as Inception, Twelve Angry Men, etc. Uncle Chan also plays his favourite films as he likes them.

But today, Uncle Chan is showing this film, which is a romance.

He didn't want to see it, because since he had understood the meaning of "love", it had brought too much pain, and more pain to feel.

But the film was surprisingly warm, and some of the dreams he had fantasised about and wished for were hooked up bit by bit, making him a little reluctant to turn it off.

The film is really warm, no ups and downs, full of warmth and fondness from beginning to end. The hero of the film gently holds the hand of the heroine, and he carefully lowers his head to kiss her fingers, devoutly like a religious man.

They touch, embrace and finally kiss, and Tan Mo suddenly turns off the TV.

He didn't want to look at it again.

He shamefully closed his eyes, for in that moment just now he thought of Qiao Lan.

He wanted to embrace her uncontrollably, to just take her hand and kiss her fingers, her cheek, even her lips, sacredly and earnestly.

There are thoughts that have never existed before, and once they start, they are like a crazy tide that cannot be controlled by the mind, and the more you try to stop, the crazier you get.

"Tan Mo opened his eyes with a start, only to be confronted by the familiar face he could not stop thinking about in his mind.

He stiffens as Qiao Lan approaches, then gleefully pulls out a black board from behind his back, turning it over to reveal a four-leaf clover woven from fine thread.

"Lucky Grass, I made it myself for your birthday, Tan Mo, I can't think of anything you want, so I'll give you Lucky Grass, may all your wishes come true."

The girl smiles like a flower, so pretty and so clean.

And what one was thinking about the moment before.

Tan Mo feels like a dirty pervert, a devil who is trying to drag angels off the territory.

Really, filthy.
