Chapter 1022 Return to the countryside with Xu Moqian
The old professors praised Qiao Jing a lot.
After the group of people dispersed, Xu Moqian came over.
He coughed lightly, put on a serious and sincere attitude, and said to Qiao Jing: "Don't be proud. Although you will definitely have a bright future with your abilities, you are still young and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Never be complacent..."
"Bang——"
Halfway through Xu Moqian's words, Xu Hongzu came over and gave him a big chestnut.
Xu Hongzu glared at his grandson with hatred, "Why do you have the nerve to preach to others here? You think they are you!"
"I know Xiaojing's character best. She is neither arrogant nor impetuous, has a calm temperament, and is very smart. You should study hard with her and don't just laugh and make jokes all day long!"
He just couldn't figure out how he, an academic, could end up with such a dishonest grandson!
Xu Moqian looked at his grandfather with resentful eyes, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "When Sister Jing was here, you often trained me like this, asking me to learn from Sister Jing, and now you ask me to learn from Xiao Jing, is it possible?
In your eyes, your grandson and I are so unbearable and nothing is better than me?"
Don't you know that this will hit his self-esteem and frustrate his confidence?!
"In front of these two people, you are indeed inferior to them. Not just inferior, you are simply far behind!"
After telling the truth, Xu Hongzu's hatred of iron not becoming steel became even stronger.
He grabbed his grandson by the ears, pulled him aside and gave him a severe lesson.
Qiao Jing slowly sipped the red wine and took in a panoramic view of the noisy grandfather and grandson not far away.
Although she had seen this scene many times, every time she saw it, she would have a sense of familiarity and humor.
After a while, Xu Moqian, who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, finally found an opportunity to escape.
He covered his face and ran back to Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing glanced at him and said with emotion, "Sometimes I really envy you. You are really happy."
"I'm in a big trough!"
After Xu Moqian yelled, he moved his hand away from his face, revealing his bruised face, "Look, my face is swollen, how can I be happy? Happiness is not about making my face fatter!"
Qiao Jing smiled and said nothing, looking at Xu Hongzu not far away, and suddenly felt that there once was a grandfather who was very, very good to her.
Seeing that she didn't speak and looked a little lost in thought, Xu Moqian asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Qiao Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally, under Xu Moqian's curious eyes, she said truthfully: "I vaguely feel that there once was a grandfather who was very kind to me, but is he still alive now?
I can’t even remember.”
After saying this, Qiao Jing fell into thinking, seeming to be trying his best to recall.
At this time, Xu Moqian suddenly thought of something and said, "Well, I'll show you a place tomorrow, and you can ask for leave from my grandfather."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing regained her composure and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xu Moqian raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously: "You'll know if you follow me."
After saying that, he started to offer advice, "Later, tell my grandpa that you have thought of something and you need to take a leave of absence for a few days. I won't be able to tell you. You see my grandpa dotes on you so much. You are like this."
This time you have made great contributions to the institute, if you ask me personally, my grandfather will definitely agree immediately!"
Qiao Jing gently shook the wine glass in her hand and asked again, "Where are you going? If you don't tell me, I won't go."
Xu Moqian had long known that she was a workaholic. Seeing her stubborn questioning, he knew that if he didn't tell her, she really wouldn't go.
Thinking of this, Xu Moqian had no choice but to say frankly: "Okay, actually I just want to take you to the countryside where Sister Jing lived before, because Sister Jing has a grandfather."
"I'm thinking that maybe Sister Jing took you there before, and maybe you lived there for a while. If that's the case, then the grandfather you are talking about is probably Sister Jing's grandfather!"
After listening to Xu Moqian's analysis, Qiao Jing felt that it was really possible.
So, she nodded in agreement and made an appointment with Xu Moqian to set off early tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Xu Moqian drove to Xiaoyanglou as promised, picked up Qiao Jing, and drove all the way to the destination.
After several hours of driving, the car gradually approached the entrance of the village.
Qiao Jing looked through the car window at the surroundings outside the car, and felt a very familiar feeling welling up in her heart.
She seemed to have walked this road before her many times...
Xu Moqian asked casually: "How was it? Did you think of anything? Or, did you feel that this place was familiar?"
Qiao Jing nodded lightly, "It's indeed very familiar."
Hearing what she said, Xu Moqian's face instantly showed a look of surprise, "It's familiar, it means we are in the right place!"
"You get out of the car and wait for me. When I park the car, I will take you to Sister Jing's house immediately."
Qiao Jing didn't say anything, opened the door and got out of the car.
Xu Moqian parked the car aside.
After parking the car, he turned around and found that Qiao Jing had gone straight to the village.
"Hey! Why did you leave on your own? You didn't even wait for me!"
After shouting at Qiao Jing's back, Xu Moqian quickly stepped up to catch up.
Qiao Jing heard Xu Moqian's voice, but she did not stop. She just followed an instinctive memory and continued walking forward.
Not long after, she stopped in front of a house.
After Xu Moqian caught up, he slapped his thigh in excitement, "Let me tell you, you must have been here before, otherwise how could you find Sister Jing's house as soon as you came here!"
"Now it seems that the grandfather in your memory is very likely to be Sister Jing's grandfather!"
Qiao Jing stood at the door, silently looking at the locked door.
After a while, she asked Xu Moqian, "Where is her grandfather now?"
"You come with me."
After Xu Moqian finished speaking, he turned around first and walked to the front to lead the way.
Qiao Jin stepped up to follow.
Soon, the two came to a tomb on the top of the mountain.
Although it is on a mountain, the tomb is very clean.
Xu Moqian leaned over and arranged the offerings in front of the grave, and said: "I come here sometimes, and I met Zhan Qipei here several times. He came frequently. During the Qingming Festival, he even burned a lot for Sister Jing.
Give the paper ingot to her grandfather."
After standing in front of the grave for a moment, Qiao Jing suddenly turned around and walked away.
She ran to the village and bought some ghost papers.
After coming back, she squatted in front of the grave, burning paper and murmuring in a low voice, "I have lost my memory and can't remember anything. Maybe we really knew each other before, but I can't remember it at all..."
I don't know why, Qiao Jing suddenly wants to talk.
But the more she talked, the more sadness spread in her heart.
Seeing the name "Zhang Ruicheng" engraved on the tombstone, Qiao Jing called out, "Grandpa Zhang..."
However, the moment this title came out of her mouth, the sadness came even more violently.
This kind of feeling must only come after we have been together for a long, long time...
