Chapter 3: Family

Standing in front of the school, Qiao Lan was dumbfounded for a while.

It's time to go home after school, but she doesn't know where Qiao Lan's home is in the book.

After thinking for a long time, I remembered that Qiao Lan's parents opened a small restaurant right in front of the school. Qiao Lan's family is not in good condition, and this small restaurant's store should not be very big, and the customer flow may also be average.

Qiao Lan walked to the opposite side of the school, ruled out a few stores with large storefronts, business is booming, just looking for two to find Qiao Lan's parents' small restaurant.

It was really a "small" restaurant, with four tables crammed so tightly together that people were suffocated, and the restaurant was dimly lit, with the strong smell of food with excessive amounts of monosodium glutamate (MSG) wafting in. Qiao Lan just stood in front of the door, a small white fat man came in at the back, and pushed Qiao Lan to one side without dodging, "What are you doing standing at the door?

Qiao Lan frowned and stared at the back of the little fat man's head for a long time before following suit.

The store makes home-cooked food, and the students order one rice dish and two vegetables, just like in a cafeteria. It was the end of the school day and there were quite a few students in the store. Qiao's father was in charge of stir-frying and Qiao's mother was in charge of feeding the students. Qiao Lan followed Qiao Yuan into the back kitchen, and when Qiao's father, who was standing frying, saw his own baby son, his equally chubby face smiled into a flower, "Yuan Er is out of school."

After pulling his son to ask questions, as if only then saw Qiao Lan, a look at Qiao Lan not a bit of eyes even a favor will not help, and then look at Qiao Lan do not know what rubbed the face of the blue and white, suddenly a stomach of anger, the face of a loving father smile suddenly gone.

"Why are you standing there, with so many people in the store, why don't you go and help out?"

Qiao Lan glanced at the back of the room, there were quite a lot of students at the moment, it was only right to help out, after a few seconds of silence, she put down her bag and went out to help Qiao's mother with the dishes.

Qiao Lan didn't see anything wrong with this kind of work, she had done it in her past life to pay for her schooling.

I took the fried dishes out and took back the finished plates, but as soon as I entered the room, I saw Qiao's father frying three dishes in a hurry and placing them in front of the little fat Qiao Yuan.

Two meat and one veggie, the food was clean and not in the same league as the greasy and oily dishes sold to students at first glance.

Qiao Lan every day to save money to buy lollipops for classmates, do not eat hungry as skin and bones, and now see the meal realized that hungry, was about to put down the plate to wash their hands to eat, Qiao's father a look of what are you doing.

"Wash what hand, a moment after the busy then wash, fast fast fast out to help your mom check out," turned his head and a loving face, "son ah you eat first, not enough dad then do."

Qiao Lan gave Qiao's father a sullen look, and then looked at Qiao Yuan, who was eating happily, threw the plate in the sink, washed his hands, picked up his school bag and left without looking back.

Leaving Qiao's father and Qiao Yuan completely unresponsive, after a while Qiao's father cursed in anger.

"You get back here, who are you shrugging off, letting you do a job and you're still not happy about it, right? You're not happy to work, you're not happy to study, you don't have eyes, and you don't know what use it is to raise a you..."

Qiao Lan carries her book bag out the door, shutting out Qiao's father's tirade from her eardrums.

Feeling in his pocket, he still had five dollars, went to the store next door and bought the cheapest top-saturated bread, sat on a small stone bench not far from the restaurant, took out his book, and nibbled on the bread as he read.

Look at the chemistry.

Qiao Lan is also glad that the first year of high school has just begun a month or so ago, and there is not too much to learn, so even if you fall behind, you can make up for it quickly.

Qiao Lan used to be a liberal arts student, even if history and geography have been over for quite a long time, but in the end she has memories. Before the book, Qiao Lan was a sophomore in college, studying finance. Her math was good, and her English had just finished the sixth-grade exam.

So it's mostly physics and chemistry to make up.

After biting into a slice of bread and reading a chapter on chemistry, it was getting dark outside when I finally saw Fatty walking out of the small diner.

Qiao's father Qiao's mother stood at the door and told her son to take care of himself before returning to the store.

Qiao Lan put her textbook away and followed the little fat man back to Qiao's family.

Qiao's family's house is an old house with only six floors, which Qiao's family bought a long time ago. Qiao Yuan walked into the hallway humming "Above the Moon", and when he turned around, he realized that there was a silhouette in the darkness, which made him startled.

Only when she saw Qiao Lan did her eyes glared and she kicked Qiao Lan's leg, "Why are you sneaking around, do you want to scare me to death?"

Qiao Lan's feet flashed as she stepped over Qiao Yuan, who howled, "You're blind!"

At home, watching TV, Mrs. Qiao heard her grandson's pig-killing howl, so shocked that she hurriedly opened the door, "What's wrong, what's wrong, where's your brother."

"Back," Qiao Lan said as she dodged into the room, dropped her book bag and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind her again.

Qiao Yuan came in crying with his feet covered. Actually, it didn't hurt anymore, but when he looked down and saw a black footprint on his white sneakers, he was furious. This is the new shoes Qiao's father bought for him the day before yesterday! It was trampled on, and Qiao Yuan

I rushed into Qiao Lan's room and didn't find anyone, so I saw the bathroom light on and stood in the doorway and started yelling.

As soon as Mrs. Qiao heard that it was Qiao Lan who had stepped on her grandson's foot, she joined in the door-slapping in an instant, "You're such a big man, don't you have eyes when you walk?"

Qiao Yuan, focusing not on the foot pain but on the shoes, cried, "My new shoes."

"Let your third sister wash you later..."

"It's not new if you wash it..."

The grandma and grandson were yelling and cajoling outside, and in no time at all, they took it upon themselves to arrange a bunch of work for Qiao Lan.

Once Qiao Lan had no father and no mother, thanks to some kind-hearted people who sponsored her to go to university, she always thought how nice it would be if she had parents and a home one day.

Now that she has a mom and a dad, and a young and old, Qiao Lan feels in her heart of hearts that it's better not to.

With relatives like that, she'd rather be an orphan.

She'd have to figure out a way to move out and finally disassociate herself from Qiao's family, but right now she was still a high school student, so she'd have to take her time to figure out where to move out and how to pay for her living expenses.

Mulling this over, and ignoring the commotion outside, Qiao Lan dropped her gaze to her face in the mirror.

One look at the whole frown.

According to the book, Qiao Lan is a girl who has made a comeback with her looks.

In the novel, it is written that Qiao Lan was not good-looking before high school, she was thin and skinny, and had nothing to do with being pretty. Later, she fell in love with Chen Yaoyang, but she was disliked by Chen Yaoyang, and because she was jealous of Song Yao, she harmed Song Yao and dropped out of school.

She was never heard from again until years later, when she returned in stunning fashion, hooking up with several stupid rich dudes with her face, and getting Song Yao into trouble.

Unfortunately, Qiao Lan is still the same yellow-faced clown.

Not only that, Qiao Lan's face is obviously smeared with a layer of poor-quality cosmetics, perhaps BB cream or foundation, on the face of white bluish purple. This is not a problem, but the face but not the neck, so the ears and neck color than the face I do not know how many degrees of darkness.

On top of that, the eyes were covered with strangely poorly applied eyeliner, which directly transformed the eyelids into an inner double.

Qiao Lan The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she squeezed the cleanser and washed it twice, finally revealing Qiao Lan s features.

Face is very small, melon face, but because it is too thin without a little beauty, the nose is very high, the lips are not girls full slightly thin, a pair of RuiFengEye slender upward, became the whole face of the eye-catching pen.

Song Yao's apricot eyes and cherry lips are sweet and harmless, while Qiao Lan's face is the opposite of Song Yao's, with more aggressive features than Song Yao.

No wonder it is said that Qiao Lan can make a stunning return in the future. With such facial features, she definitely has the capital to be stunning.

However, as the saying goes, a white cover up a hundred ugly, a black ruin all, Qiao Lan although not black, but the skin is dull face yellowish, the tone is not good, the whole person has no color. A head of long hair like grass, lips dry skin, the whole person is thin no personal shape, but also the most plus points of the eyes directly painted into the inner double.

Apply more BB cream, poor color face without collagen how can look good, Qiao Lan and a little confused in the book Qiao Lan's brain circuits, keep the money to drink more milk and eat more eggs, will not be now this look.

A good face, spoiled like a ghost.

After washing her face and going out of the bathroom, Qiao's family The house is old but quite big, after all, there used to be two sisters, Qiao Lan looked around and went into the smallest room on the south side of the house.

Not long after she sat down, Qiao Yuan kicked the door open with her belly in her hand and pointed out her shoes at the door with her chin raised in a condescending manner.

"Give me clean, must be washed and new exactly the same", finished to see Qiao Lan does not move and urged, "you hurry up ah, early wash and early dry, I have to wear it in a couple of days!"
