winter solstice

Back in the room, it was already very late, and after washing and lying on the bed, neither of them felt sleepy.Jiang Yuan turned off the light smoothly, and the two of them got very close in the dark, as if a little too close, Qiao Dongzhi could even feel Jiang Yuan's breath blowing on his face.He tried to move slowly to the outside, but as soon as he moved a little, Jiang Yuan grabbed it back with one hand and put it in his arms. At this moment, he finally felt nervous, and then Jiang Yuan turned over and attached himself to him.The two of them didn't make a sound, they looked at each other in the dark, for a moment, Qiao Dongzhi put his arms around Jiang Yuan's neck, Jiang Yuan lowered his head, and the two began to kiss.This kiss lasted for a long time, so long that Qiao Dongzhi didn't know when Jiang Tian took off his nightgown and legs, and when the cool lubricant was sent into his body, Qiao Dongzhi woke up from the confusion. He suddenly remembered Looking at the shopping bag next to Jiang Yuan at night, it turned out that besides snacks, there were lubricants in it.

The next day, when Qiao Dongzhi woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. He got up and looked around, and found that Jiang Yuan was standing on the balcony with his back to the room talking on the phone in a low voice. The glass door of the balcony was closed, so he couldn't hear clearly. What is he saying.Qiao Dongzhi looked at his tall and straight back, rubbed his sore waist, and couldn't help feeling hot when he thought of what happened last night. He proved that Jiang Yuan was not only not frigid as others thought, but also quite enthusiastic. Dongzhi couldn't help begging for mercy in a low voice but didn't see him stop. As for when it ended, Qiao Dongzhi really couldn't remember.

After making the phone call, Jiang Yuan opened the sliding door of the balcony and saw that Dong Zhi had got up, so he smiled and asked, "Are you okay?" Qiao Dong Zhi lowered his eyes and said "um" in a low voice. He was really a little embarrassed at this time Looking at Jiang Yuan, I don't know how Jiang Yuan did it so naturally.Jiang Yuan went out when Qiao Dongzhi went to the bathroom to wash up. After he finished cleaning up, Jiang Yuan just came back with a bowl of porridge in his hand. "The restaurant downstairs happens to have some porridge. You can drink some porridge first and eat it at noon." Qiao The winter solstice was also hungry, so I took the porridge and sat down to drink it.Jiang Yuan sat not far away, watching him drink the porridge while discussing with him where to go later. After Qiao Dongzhi finished his bowl of porridge, the two of them didn't discuss any results.There is still more than an hour before noon, no matter where you go at this time, there is not enough time, and finally the two decided to go to the nearby beach to see the sea view.

This sea view was not able to be seen in the end.As soon as the two left the hotel, Qiao Dongzhi received a call from Lingling, who asked her brother when she would be back. Before Qiao Dongzhi could answer, the little girl said excitedly: "Mom is here, and Mom is going to come with brother You talk." Then the person on the other end of the phone changed, and Zhao Shanshan's slightly tired voice came over: "Dongdong, I'm divorced." There are some things that are difficult to talk about on the phone, so the two simply said a few words before hanging up up.Qiao Dongzhi told Jiang Yuan about this, and the two of them went back to the hotel and checked out. After a hasty lunch, they went back immediately.

Lingling has been taken care of by Jiang's mother these days. Jiang's mother will send her to school in the morning, and then pick her up in the evening to live in Jiang's house.This morning, when Lingling was in class at school, Zhao Shanshan came to find her. After explaining her relationship with the head teacher, Zhao Shanshan helped Lingling ask for leave. She felt that it was not appropriate to go to Jiang's house, so she asked Lingling to call Jiang's mother and tell her. situation, and then took her back to Qiao Dongzhi's original residence.

☆, extra one

Qiao Dongzhi was born on the day of the winter solstice.Outside an operating room of a city hospital in a small city in northern Anhui, a middle-aged couple and a young man were full of anxiety and anticipation. His daughter-in-law Liu Shu had been in the delivery room for more than ten hours and hadn't given birth yet. The sound is gone, which makes people feel uneasy.When Liu Shugang was pregnant, she went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor's advice was to terminate the pregnancy, because the check revealed that Liu Shu had congenital heart disease and was not suitable for childbearing.At that time, her husband, Qiao Tiejun, was very surprised. After questioning, he found out that Liu Shu had always known that he had a congenital deficiency, but he chose to hide it from him.

Liu Shu is from Shanghai, a large eastern city. His parents are both natives of Shanghai, and he has an older brother.At home, she was a little princess who was supported and raised. When she was in her third year of high school, when she was going home, she was blocked by a group of hooligans on the road. Fortunately, she met Qiao Tiejun, a hero who was working in Shanghai at the time, and saved her from being poisoned. .Although Qiao Tiejun himself had no education, but he had a handsome and princely face, which made the young girl Liu Shuchun, who was still in the rainy season at the time, excited.It just so happened that Qiao Tiejun was working as an apprentice in a restaurant near Liu Shu's school at that time. Liu Shu often went to the restaurant to find him during his evening self-study.Soon Liu Shu had a showdown with his family. It is conceivable how unacceptable this matter was in the eyes of parents who raised their daughter as a princess. It is necessary to beat mandarin ducks. Liu Shu is also stubborn and is locked up at home by his parents After a month of silence, he didn't let go, and then took advantage of the darker night of the month to escape from the house and elope with Qiao Tiejun, and returned to Qiao Tiejun's hometown in the urban-rural fringe of a small town in northern Anhui overnight.

In fact, Liu Shu regretted it a few days after arriving at her lover's hometown. She planned to stay for a few more days and wait for her parents to calm down before going back, but one morning after getting up, Liu Shu suddenly vomited to death. Dissatisfied, he patted his back and comforted him softly. The sound of vomiting alarmed Qiao Tiejun's mother, Wang Guilan. Liu Shu has been pregnant for nearly three months.After returning home, Liu Shu went into the room and lay down on the bed to rest, while Wang Guilan and her son sat in the main room in silence for a while.

In the evening, Qiao Tiejun's father, Qiao just came back from work, and heard Wang Guilan say this, without saying a word, he caught Qiao Tiejun and beat him up.Later, Qiao Gang made the decision and planned to take his son to Shanghai to apologize to his future in-laws and discuss their children's marriage by the way, but Liu Shu firmly opposed it.Liu Shu knew that her parents would definitely not agree to this matter, and would definitely take her to have an abortion so that she would break her relationship with Qiao Tiejun. Instead of doing that, it is better to simply give birth to the child first, and then take the child back home with the uncooked rice. When you are mature, maybe your parents will forgive you for the sake of your grandson.So a month later, Qiao's house held a wedding banquet for relatives, friends and neighbors, and Liu Shu officially entered Qiao's house.

After getting married, she went to the hospital for an obstetric examination and found out that she had a heart attack. The family was in a bleak state. According to Qiao Zhijun's thinking, it was better not to have the child, because it was too risky.Qiao Zhijun's parents kept silent and didn't say much. Liu Shu knew what her in-laws meant. Her husband was the only child in the family, and she would always have a child in the future. Besides, she thought the doctor said that her disease might affect her fertility, but she didn't say it would definitely. So many years have passed, and nothing happened to my body, maybe this time it will be safe, so I decided to give birth to the child.Afterwards, the family took good care of Liu Shu, and Liu Shu's postnatal examination showed that everything was normal. The family waited with great anticipation for the arrival of this little life, until the morning of the winter solstice, Liu Shu had unbearable abdominal pain and was sent to the hospital to prepare for delivery. The delivery room lasted more than ten hours.

"Liu Shu's family, who is Liu Shu's family?" The door of the delivery room opened, and a doctor wearing a mask yelled out the door as he walked. "I am, doctor, how is my wife?" Qiao Tiejun walked quickly to the doctor with an anxious face. "The parturient has fainted, sign and prepare for surgery." The doctor's voice also showed a little anxiety. "What? What surgery? What happened to my daughter-in-law? I have to go in and take a look." After Qiao Tiejun finished speaking, he rushed to the operating room and was stopped by a medical staff who came out again. "Hurry up and sign. The mother fainted due to exhaustion, and the amniotic fluid broke early. Now the baby is not as good as the oxygen supply in it. If you don't have an autopsy, the adult and the child will be in danger." The doctor stopped Qiao Tiejun, handed him a pen and paper, and urged him again signature.Qiao Tiejun didn't even read the content on the paper, he found the place to sign and tremblingly signed.After the doctor saw that he had signed and accepted the consent form for the operation, he ran into the operating room like a gust of wind, and the door of the obstetrics department closed again.

Half an hour later, the door opened again, and a nurse came out with the baby in her arms, "Liu Shu's family, a boy is born." The family hurried over, Qiao Tiejun took the baby, and asked excitedly, "Doctor , how is my daughter-in-law?" "It's okay, it's being stitched up, and it will take a while, you should take the baby to the pediatrics department for a checkup first!" The little nurse's voice was also full of joy, probably after a day of tossing inside the mother and child. Ping An felt relieved.Qiao Tiejun put the child in Wang Guilan's arms, asked the parents to take the child to the pediatric department for an examination, and stayed outside the operating room to wait for his wife to come out.

Unfortunately, not long after, several doctors hurried over from other floors and rushed into the operating room, and then the doctor handed over a surgical consent form for Qiao Tiejun to sign, as well as a critical illness notice to make the family members mentally prepared.Qiao Tiejun looked at the door of the operating room, at first he was still sitting on the chair outside the door, and then slowly knelt down on the ground, muttering all the time, begging for God's blessing.God probably didn't hear his prayers, so Liu Shu went anyway. He suffered a heart attack after giving birth, and the rescue failed.

After Liu Shu's funeral was done, Qiao Tiejun went out to work again, this time he went to a restaurant in Shenzhen.Before leaving, Wang Guilan brought the child to him and asked him to name the child.After Liu Shu left, Qiao Tiejun never looked at the child again, nor did he speak to his parents much.Wang Guilan and his wife knew that he resented the child, and they also knew that he resented their parents, but they didn't know how to relieve him, so they simply let him go to work in other places, just to relax.Looking at the yard outside, Qiao Tiejun said casually, "That winter solstice, let's call it the winter solstice, nicknamed Dongdong." After speaking, he carried his luggage and left.

When Qiao Dongzhi was three years old, Wang Guilan planned to give her grandson a grand birthday.The day before her birthday, she entrusted Dongdong to a neighbor to look after, and took the child and his grandfather to the city to order a cake for the grandson to buy a gift. On the way back, a truck suddenly lost control on the motorway, rushed out of the guardrail and hit the bicycle on the side of the road. Wang Guilan and his wife died on the spot. The truck driver's rib pierced his lungs. He was sent to the hospital and transferred to the ICU.Qiao Tiejun rushed back from Shenzhen overnight to deal with the funeral. The truck driver's wife, Ninja, came to negotiate compensation with her sad baby in her arms, and finally gave the Qiao family 50 yuan.

Since then, Qiao Tiejun has settled down in his hometown.With the compensation and the savings of the past few years, Qiao Tiejun rented a storefront in the urban area to sell hardware products.Two years later, Qiao Tiejun hired someone to look after the hardware store, and opened a restaurant named "Qiao Shun Restaurant". A small restaurant is slowly growing. By the time Qiao Dongzhi was in his first year of high school, Qiao's restaurant, which had already been renamed "Qiao Shunlou", had become one of the signature restaurants in this small town in northern Anhui.

Qiao Tiejun was born with an outgoing personality and a free-spirited person. Although he experienced the grief of the death of his relatives, he has been busy with business these years, and he has gradually recovered from the pain and regained his original open-mindedness.He got married early, and now he is only 35 or six. The restaurant business at home is booming, and he knows many people. Gradually, more matchmakers match him up. My name is Zhao Shanshan, a music teacher in a junior high school in the city. She is 25 and six. Qiao Tiejun fell in love with him when he saw him, and later he heard that he had a son who was about to enter the first grade of high school, and he didn't mind, as if he was not married to a king, so the two officially fell in love.The two of them are not too young. They have been together for half a year and plan to get married.Just about to prepare for the wedding, but was opposed by his son Qiao Dongzhi.

Qiao Dongzhi, how should I put it, in the eyes of outsiders, he and Qiao Tiejun are not like father and son.Qiao Tiejun looks handsome, with tough features, but Qiao Dongzhi looks more handsome, more like his mother Liu Shu, but his temperament does not know who he looks like, he is taciturn and caresses words like gold.I usually have holidays, and I don’t go out to play with friends like my peers. I often stay in the room and don’t know what I’m doing.When my grandparents passed away when I was young, people in the same village often said behind his back that he was hard-pressed, and some ignorant children scolded him face to face. In elementary school, he had no friends and was often bullied by his classmates.Later, when he was in junior high school, he moved to the city with Qiao Tiejun, away from his original life circle, and there were not many classmates who knew about his family affairs, so the three years of junior high school were relatively comfortable.He is motivated, and his grades have always been among the best in school, but he is not very keen on group activities and has always been a loner.

His relationship with his father Qiao Tiejun is not very close either.When he was three years old, he saw his father for the first time. At that time, he could vaguely feel that his father was hostile to him. Although he didn't know why, his young heart was also very hurt, and he didn't dare to get close to his father. Later, when he grew up, From the comments of the fellow villagers, I understand what my birth means to my father, and I dare not get close to my father.Although his father, Qiao Tiejun, came out of the pain slowly, he still cared about his son's existence. He was sent to a boarding school in junior high school, and he was only picked up for two days every month when he was on vacation. During winter and summer vacations, when his son was at home, Qiao Tiejun seemed very busy. He often came back very late at night and left early the next day. The father and son looked like strangers.

When Qiao Dongzhi graduated from junior high school, he was admitted to No. 12 Middle School in the city with the first grade in the school, and ranked third in the grade for high school admission.After Qiao Tiejun found out about his grades, he just said, "You did well in the exam!" and then said nothing.After high school started, Qiao Dongzhi continued to live on campus.When he knew that Qiao Tiejun was dating a young aunt, he didn't react much, but he didn't go home on weekends.He thinks it's okay for his father to remarry. These years, his father has been looking at the scenery by himself, but it's actually quite hard work. It's good to have someone to take care of him.Qiao Dongzhi felt that his current age must be a huge burden for his father's remarriage, so he stayed quietly in the school all the time, and his existence was ignored as much as possible.But when he learned of his father's remarriage, he still broke out, because the wedding date was set on December 22 in the Gregorian calendar.

The wedding date was set by the woman's family. They said that they went to the mountain to ask the master to calculate their horoscopes. This day is the best.In fact, the woman's family knew about the old affairs of Qiao's family, and knew that Qiao Tiejun's first wife died of dystocia on the Winter Solstice Day, and that her other son was named Winter Solstice in memory of his ex-wife.Although the woman's family has two sons, this girl is old enough to be a child, and she is beautiful. It is fine to marry a second-married man ten years older, and there is such an older son. The old couple are very afraid of Qiao Tie Jun couldn't forget his ex-wife, so he wanted to set the wedding date on this day to test the sincerity of his future son-in-law. Besides, this day is the eighteenth day of the [-]th lunar month, which is indeed a good day for marriage, and there is nothing to choose from.Qiao Tiejun also knew what the woman's family was up to. Although he felt a little bit offended, he couldn't directly object.This time he made the same mistake as ten years ago, and Zhao Shanshan became pregnant.

Qiao Dongzhi heard about Qiao Tiejun's wedding date from Bao Rui at school. He didn't have many friends during the winter solstice, and Bao Rui was his deskmate.This person's family situation is special, his own mother is a mistress, after giving birth to him, she waited desperately for two years, seeing that there was no hope of marrying his own father, so she took the money and remarried.My father took him home, and now my mother and brother don't like him, and my father doesn't like him too much.He grew up fighting with his elder brother since he was a child, and he developed a fiery temper, which would explode at any moment. Because of his dark appearance, he was nicknamed "Bao Qingtian".But don't look at this kid who has a temper, but a very smart mind. He is the top student in the school in the first year of high school. He was appointed as the monitor by the head teacher when he first entered the class.When this person first sat at the same table with Qiao Dongzhi, it could be seen that Dongzhi didn't like to be noisy, so he was very quiet for a while, but he couldn't help but regained his original nature after a while.During the winter solstice, I don’t talk much, but my emotional intelligence is always online, and I have developed the excellent ability to throw my ears to this deskmate as a trash can, and my brain is still focused on mathematical thinking.After getting along for a long time, both of them feel that each other is good, and gradually they can be regarded as each other's friends, and they are still roommates.

That day was the end of classes on Saturday afternoon, and the school would not have classes the next day, so everyone else in the dormitory packed up their things early and went home.Bao Rui finished dinner that evening, and the two went back to the dormitory together. Bao Rui asked casually, "Your dad got married, will you go back to watch the ceremony?" "When is the wedding?" Come sooner or later. "Just a month, I don't remember the exact date, it seems to be December 12, around the winter solstice, I heard people say it." Bao Rui was not very sure.

After Qiao Dongzhi listened, he didn't say anything. He thought about it for a long time in bed at night, and got up early the next day and went home. He felt that it was necessary to discuss with his father whether the date could be changed, after all, it was not a good day.His mother died giving birth to him that day, and his grandparents had an accident the day before that day because they wanted to celebrate his birthday. He sometimes wondered if he was really hard-nosed.His only family member was his father, and the wedding date happened to be on this day, so he was really afraid of any accidents.

When Qiao Dongzhi arrived home, just in time for Qiao Tiejun to go out for breakfast after washing, Qiao Dongzhi stopped him.The father and son were sitting in the living room. Qiao Dongzhi went straight to the point and asked his father if he could change the date of marriage. He thought it was a bad day.After hearing this, Qiao Tiejun was silent for a while, and suddenly said something irrelevant: "Your mother, you have been gone for many years." Qiao Dongzhi didn't understand what his father meant by this, thinking that his father thought he cared about his mother, so he disagreed remarried himself.He immediately opened his mouth to explain: "Dad, I'm not my mother, and I haven't seen her before. I'm afraid." He didn't say any more after that.Qiao Tiejun waited for a while, seeing that he didn't intend to continue, he got up, walked to him and sat down, patted his head, and said softly: "Dongdong, Dad knows, don't worry, Dad will take good care of you and accompany you all the time." I'm looking at you." Qiao Dongzhi buried his head in Qiao Tiejun's arms after listening, his shoulders shook for a while, and he replied with a nasal voice for a long time, "Yeah".

The wedding of Qiao Tiejun and Zhao Shanshan was held on December 12 as scheduled.Qiao Dongzhi was in school that day and didn't go back to watch the ceremony.He knew that this stepmother was quite young, and she was married for the first time. He probably wouldn't feel at ease with his older stepson present at the wedding.On the night before New Year's Day, Qiao Dongzhi came home and saw this little mother. She was indeed very beautiful, and she looked very temperamental.In the evening, the family had dinner together. Under Qiao Tiejun's eyes, Qiao Dongzhi called "Mom" for the first time in his life, and Zhao Shanshan happily answered, and everyone was happy.

At the end of August next year, Zhao Shanshan successfully gave birth to a daughter in the hospital, named Qiao Lingxin and nicknamed Lingling.Qiao Dongzhi went to the hospital to see her. The girl's facial features hadn't opened yet, so she couldn't tell whether she was pretty or not, but her skin was fair, so she should be a little beauty in the future.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye, Qiao Dongzhi finished the college entrance examination, and spent a day at home playing with building blocks with his two-year-old sister.Although the little girl didn't speak all the words, she was quite capable of doing things. She built the castle according to the pictures, and it was quite decent. Zhao Shanshan was still in school, and the landline at home suddenly rang.Lingling excitedly yelled "Phone! Phone!" Dong Zhi found it very interesting to see her like that, and deliberately delayed it for a while before getting up to answer it. "Is it Teacher Zhao? Teacher Zhao?" The voice on the other end of the phone was anxious. "My mother isn't here, I'm his son, do you have anything to do with her?" Dong Zhi asked, somehow an ominous premonition emerged in his heart at that moment. "Dongdong? You are Dongdong. Dongdong, come to the emergency room of the city hospital, your father is dying!"

Qiao Dongzhi hung up the phone somehow, and he was in a trance for a moment. It was the sister next to him who said "brother" that brought him back to his senses. He looked at his sister and thought, I am indeed the fate of my relatives.

Qiao Tiejun died of a sudden cerebral infarction, and no one expected it to be so sudden.The doctor said it was caused by recent overwork and lack of rest.Qiao Tiejun is planning to open a branch in a neighboring city. Recently, he has been researching and selecting a location. He travels between the two places, and the wine bureau deserves a lot. He is really tired.Zhao Shanshan couldn't take the blow a little bit, and she was stunned after receiving the news, which made people feel very uneasy.Her brother came to help with her brother-in-law's funeral, and invited a friend to be the restaurant manager to help manage Qiao Shunlou, and her sister-in-law often came to comfort her.After a long time, Zhao Shanshan gradually got out of the pain and continued to live.

Qiao Dongzhi applied for the law department of T University in the southern coastal city, and his deskmate Bao Rui and he applied for the same major in the same school.Both of them were admitted, and at the beginning of September, they packed their bags and went to report together.

When Qiao Dongzhi returned home during the summer vacation of her freshman year, Zhao Shanshan told him that she was planning to remarry, that she was going to marry out of town, and that she planned to sell her family's belongings, and asked him what he thought.Qiao Dongzhi had no idea, he felt that this day would always come.He understood Zhao Shanshan's situation. When she was young, she disregarded criticism and married a country boss who was almost 40 years old and had a teenage son. In the past few years, she was often ridiculed behind her back. Otherwise, she would not choose to go far away.Not long after, Zhao Shanshan quickly sold her family's restaurant, shop, real estate and car, deposited 500 million in Qiao Dongzhi's account, and married her daughter Lingling to a small town next door in Jiangsu Province with the money.Qiao Dongzhi didn't ask her how much property the family had in total, he thought he would be homeless in the future.After returning to T City, Qiao Dongzhi spent more than 480 million to buy a well-decorated existing house in the local area, and then rented it out. His relatives are gone. He plans to move in after graduation and work. It can be regarded as having a family. He plans to spend the rest of his life in this southern city.
