No one wants to play with her at all, only one Qiao Meili, who seems to be kind-hearted but actually has evil intentions, is willing to take her to play and say a few words of comfort to her when others bully her.

At that time, Qiao Jiarong thought that her cousin was the best person in the world to her, but she didn't know that the other person was basically a wolf in human skin. He might open his mouth to eat her at any time, and even chew the bones and residue.

kind.

Now, she is no longer the poor, isolated little girl in her previous life. Now she not only has friends, but also a close family.

Qiao Jiarong thought as he looked at a group of girls playing hopscotch in front of him.

When it was Qiao Jiarong's turn, Qiao Xinxin saw that she was still in a daze, so she quickly stepped forward and pushed her and said, "Xiaorong, why are you dazed! It's your turn."

"Ah...it's my turn? I'll be here right now." Qiao Jiarong answered before coming back to his senses.

Then, he started to jump like the people in front of him.

Maybe it was because of my first jump. If I didn't have good balance, I lost when my feet landed on the ground.

Qiao Xinxin, who was looking at her from the side, smiled and said: "Xiao Rong, this time is more difficult. You have to practice more, and when you are familiar with it, you can jump with one foot in front of the other."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Xinxin."

"You're welcome. I'll teach you other games later. I've been playing for a long time today. I'd better go back and do my homework quickly, or my mother will scold me again."

With that said, Qiao Xinxin said goodbye to her playmates and took Qiao Jiarong home.

Because Qiao Jiarong moved out at the end of winter, it was too cold to build a house at this time. Qiao Tieniu had to get the household registration and homestead settled first, and then start building a house after the Chinese New Year when the weather became warm.

In addition to applying for household registration and homestead, Qiao Tieniu also contacted the craftsmen in advance to order bricks. Afraid of not having enough money, he went to his comrades to borrow another five hundred yuan.

When his comrade Lao Lin heard that he had adopted a granddaughter, he specially asked Qiao Jiarong to take him to the county town to play. He bought several new clothes for Qiao Jiarong and gave him another ten yuan as a meeting gift.

Qiao Jiarong reciprocated and gave Lao Lin an amulet.

Lao Lin and Qiao Tieniu both didn't believe in these things. But this was Qiao Jiarong's wish, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the amulet folded into a triangle.

Then one day, Lao Lin escaped an accident because of this amulet. Then he began to take the amulet seriously and gave Qiao Jiarong many gifts to express his gratitude.

Time passes day by day, and the Chinese New Year will soon be here. Qiao Jiarong also stayed at the village chief's house for more than a month.

During this period, Qiao Tieniu was afraid that she would not be comfortable living there. From time to time he would go hunting in the mountains and send them to the village chief's house. He also took all the eggs Qiao Jiarong gave him, just because he was afraid that his elder brother's family would have objections to Qiao Jiarong.

In fact, no one in the village chief's family had any objections. After they heard about Qiao Jiarong, they all sympathized with her. A few soft-hearted women even treated her as their own child.

Qiao Jiarong saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

At the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, Qiao Jiarong took out a tonic pill and put it in the stewed soup.

With this spirit-boosting pill, the bodies of the village chief's family and Grandpa Tieniu will be improved by spiritual energy, and their bodies will be much healthier than ordinary people.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Jiarong put on the new clothes Qiao Tieniu bought for her, and then paid New Year's greetings to the village chief and his family according to seniority.

On this day, Qiao Tieniu also came to pay New Year's greetings to the village chief very early. After he finished paying New Year's greetings, he did not leave, but waited for Qiao Jiarong to pay him New Year's greetings.

After Qiao Jiarong paid New Year's greetings and gave her lucky money, he pointed at the new clothes she was wearing and said happily: "Xiao Rong looks really good in this outfit."

"Yes! This red dress is so festive." Mrs. Cao also said after hearing this.

Cao's eldest daughter-in-law Li Cuihua also said: "Xiao Rong has fair skin and looks good in anything she wears. My Xinxin's skin is not as white as Xiao Rong and looks good in dark clothes."

"Sister-in-law is still discerning. Although Xinxin's clothes are not as festive as Xiaorong's, they look just as good on her and look fashionable." Wang Juan pulled Qiao Xinxin and said.

Qiao Xinxin also liked her maroon coat very much. She happily touched her clothes after hearing the adults' compliments.

After paying New Year's greetings to his family, Qiao Tieniu took Qiao Jiarong to visit other elders in the village to pay New Year's greetings. It was almost noon after walking around, so Qiao Tieniu took Qiao Jiarong to his home for a meal.

After lunch, Qiao Xinxin came to play with Qiao Jiarong.

In fact, Qiao Xinxin went to the canteen with Qiao Jiarong. The New Year's money she received today will be confiscated by her mother in the evening, and she will keep it in the name of her.

Qiao Xinxin didn't want to give the New Year's money to her mother, so she made an excuse. She planned to spend it on her so that she wouldn't have to give the New Year's money to her mother.

In Qiao Xinxin's heart, it was safer to keep the money on herself. But if she kept the money on her, her mother would definitely find it. So, she decided to use the money to buy things and eat them, which was safe.

Qiao Xinxin, who is in third grade, has already developed a sense of spending money, and often has her own ideas. She is no longer at the age where she believed what adults say when she was a child.

Qiao Xinxin bought herself some sandwich bread for 20 cents. This was already a relatively expensive item in a canteen.

After she bought the bread, she asked Qiao Jiarong: "Xiaorong, what do you want, I will buy it for you."

Qiao Jiarong has never bought anything from a canteen, so naturally he doesn't know what children nowadays buy.

At this time, another group of children came. Like Qiao Xinxin, each of them used their own New Year's money to buy things.

But they don't have much money in their hands, and they don't dare to spend money as lavishly as Qiao Xinxin.

Each of them only spent 10 cents, as little as 5 cents. The boys basically bought the cannons, which cost 10 cents a box; the girls basically bought the small bags of sour plum powder.

, some buy one bag, and some buy two bags.

Qiao Jiarong looked curious and bought a bag to eat and play with.

It's not delicious, but it's not unpalatable. It's sour and a little sweet, which is very suitable for a little girl's taste.

The money to buy the sour plum powder was given by Qiao Xinxin, because all the New Year's money in Qiao Jiarong's hands were large bills of more than one yuan. Qiao Xinxin was reluctant to let her spend it, so she paid for it herself. It was only five cents anyway, so she didn't

Not distressed.

But Qiao Jiarong wanted to spend money, so she ignored Qiao Xinxin's objection and spent 50 cents to buy a large bag of butter melon seeds.

In fact, during the Chinese New Year, my family bought melon seeds. But the ones I bought were raw and fried and had no flavor. Children all like to eat the flavorful ones.

So, Qiao Jiarong bought these flavorful melon seeds and ate them with Qiao Xinxin.

The two of them ate and walked towards the school.

There is a big playground over there at the school. It is big and open and many people like to play there.

When Qiao Jiarong and the others arrived, there were already many people on the playground. Some of them were playing cannonballs, some were playing tops, and there were girls jumping rubber bands there.

In short, there were a lot of people, and everyone gathered together in groups to play.
