Ju Ling received a call from Zhou Yan, saying that she wanted to invite her and Qiao Jue to dinner with her girlfriend.

Ju Ling was stunned at that time. It was really that Zhou Yan's good news was announced too suddenly, and there was no warning before.

Before going to dinner, Ju Ling asked Qiao Jue if he knew about Zhou Yan having a girlfriend. Qiao Jue shrugged and replied truthfully: "Of course I don't know, I have never met him in school. The school is so big, and our activity areas do not overlap, so it is very difficult to meet him."

Qiao Jue cannot provide rumor, so Ju Ling is even more curious about Zhou Yan's girlfriend.

When Ju Ling met Zhou Yan and his girlfriend in the private room of the hotel, he only felt that they were like a match.

Zhou Yan's girlfriend's surname is Zhou, and her name is Zhou Xiao. She is a sophomore in energy and power engineering. She was admitted to a small town in the southwest region.

Zhou Xiao has a thin and small figure, and is naturally smiling and has a very pleasant smile, and his voice is sweet and nice.

Qiao Jue doesn't know Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao has heard of Qiao Jue's name a long time ago.

"Teacher Qiao, you don't know. You are a celebrity in our school. I remember when I first entered the school, an old professor mentioned you that you have a high IQ. You have finished your doctorate at the age of undergraduate studies. You could have done something in your own field. As a result, you were not motivated at all and did nothing. You just made a fish for three days and two days to dry the net and forced yourself into an ordinary person. Let us never learn from you. No matter which field you have talent, you must cherish it."

OK, it's a negative textbook.

Qiao Jue smiled and shook his head. He didn't know what to say.

The professor is right. If he had been doing scientific research steadily, he would have produced research results now. Unfortunately, he ran out without any trouble and missed a good research project. He still has no results that he can achieve.

There are quite a lot of topics to talk about for the four of you, and the atmosphere has always been very good.

Zhou Yan is also very considerate and meticulous to his girlfriend: he will pay attention to the drinks in her cup at any time, and immediately add them when they are almost gone; he will wipe off the oil stains dripping on the table to prevent them from staining Zhou Xiao's clothes; he will observe which dishes Zhou Xiao likes to eat, and order another serving when they are gone...

This is probably the simplest way of love. It doesn’t need to say anything or express it deliberately, and it is integrated into every detail of life.

In the second half of the meal, the topic shifted from school to family, and Zhou Xiao talked about his family.

Zhou Xiao is the third child in the family. There is an older brother and an older sister above, and a younger brother below. Because of the poor family conditions, the older brother and sister came to make money to support Zhou Xiao and his younger brother before they finished high school.

Zhou Xiao and his younger brother took the college entrance examination in the same year, one of them went to Kyoto and the other one went to Haishi. They were both top universities in China, so they did not make their elder brothers and sisters sacrifice their studies in vain.

She plans to find a good job in Kyoto after graduation, and it is not realistic to take over all her parents, brothers and sisters, but she can make her relatives live a better life through her own efforts.

Ju Ling is a person who values ​​family and family affection. She also felt a lot of emotion when Zhou Xiao talked about these things, and also told Zhou Xiao about the Ju family.

When they talked about family, Zhou Yan and Qiao Jue were just laughing there and couldn't take anything.

After parting with him, Ju Ling and Qiao Jue walked to the parking place.

"Brother Xiao Jue, do you miss your mother?" Ju Ling asked tentatively.

Qiao Jue chuckled: "To be honest, I don't want to. We are all used to living our own lives, to make phone calls at a fixed time, and to chat on specific topics on the phone. No one wants to change the current situation."

Ju Ling didn't think that Qiao Jue and his family were not good. Everyone has their own favorite way of getting along with each other. There is no need to feel happy because their family is like this and they feel happy. Others feel unhappy if they don't.

The reason she asked Qiao Jue this question was because Zhou Yan and Zhou Xiao had already planned to go back to their hometown to meet their parents during the meal. Ju Ling thought about whether she had to find an opportunity to meet Qiao Jue's family.

What a pity that she turned a corner and Qiao Jue didn't think about that at all.

I didn't think about it, but I'll see it sooner or later, so don't worry.

But what Ju Ling didn’t expect was that this “early and late” could be so early!

Another Friday, Ju Ling is going to Qiao Jue after class.

If Qiao Jue has time, she will drive to pick her up. If she doesn’t have time, she will go there by herself. Today, Qiao Jue is quite busy, she has gone there by herself.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I found a man standing at the door, looking like he was in his fifties, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qiao Jue.

Ju Ling probably guessed who this person was, but she didn't take the initiative to say hello, and just silently told the man not to block the door and she wanted to open the door and go in.

When Ju Ling entered the house and was about to close the door, the man finally spoke, and he said, "Little girl, is this family still the surname Qiao?"

"Yes," Ju Ling replied truthfully.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Then, is Qiao Jue at home?"

Ju Ling shook his head and replied, "No, he is in the laboratory and will not come back later."

The man said "um" softly, without asking who Ju Ling was or saying why he came here.

After closing the door, Ju Ling immediately sent a message to Qiao Jue, telling Qiao Jue that his father Qiao Linfeng was coming.

Since Qiao Linfeng and Fang Qingmei divorced, Qiao Jue has almost cut off contact with Qiao Linfeng, and Ju Ling has not heard much about Qiao Linfeng. This person suddenly came to him and must have something to do. He must tell Qiao Jue to make him mentally prepared.

However, some things are difficult to accept no matter how much mental preparation you make.

Qiao Linfeng came to find Qiao Jue to tell his son that he was going to die.

It is said that people are good at dying, but in fact, this is a distinction between people, at least not reflected in Qiao Linfeng.

He came to Qiao Jue to talk about his health, and said that he had spent all his savings to cure the disease, hoping that his son could help him.

To put it bluntly, I just came to ask for money.

At that time, Qiao Jue gave all the less than a thousand dollars to Qiao Linfeng, and said to Qiao Linfeng: "I know you must have more than that. Don't worry, I'll give it to you when you look back."

Qiao Jue was not careful in his life, and he couldn't make much money by relying on his salary alone. He didn't have much money to buy a car soon.

Even so, he still pieced together 100,000 yuan and gave it to Qiao Linfeng.

But when I gave the money, I said it very clearly. It was only so much if I was enough. Don’t ask him for money anymore. He didn’t want to attend his funeral, so he didn’t need to notify him of his death.

He said it was quite ruthless, but afterwards Qiao Jue locked himself in the study for a long time and didn't come out.

When Qiao Linfeng cheated on his marriage and the divorce was very disgraceful, it directly led to Fang Qingmei's departure abroad. At that time, Mr. Qiao had just passed away, and his family was divided by an irresponsible man. How could Qiao Jue not hate him and how could he not complain?
