The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 639
Qiao Simei came out of the art test venue, in a good mood, and felt that she had performed well, her grades should not be bad, and passing the art test should not be a problem.

Before Wang Gang sent Qiao Simei into the examination room, he told her that he and Qiao Sanli were waiting for her in the coffee shop outside.

When Qiao Simei was about to go to the coffee shop to tell her brothers and sisters the good news, she passed by a group of soldiers and was immediately attracted by one of them.

"Qi Chenggang?" Qiao Simei called out to one of the soldiers.

The soldier brother turned his head in doubt, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Qiao Simei, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"I'm Qiao Simi! Your elementary school classmate." Qiao Simi said generously.

"Qiao Simei." Brother Bing finally remembered and said with a happy smile, "Why are you in the capital?"

"I'm here to take the art test at the Film Academy." Qiao Simei also smiled and said: "I didn't expect to meet my old classmates here, I almost didn't recognize you just now, you used to be so thin and thin, not as tall as me! "

Looking at her old classmate, who was a head taller than herself, with a slender and muscular figure, Qiao Simei sighed: "You are a soldier, and you look so handsome in a military uniform."

Qi Chenggang said embarrassingly: "I didn't get into high school after graduating from junior high school, and I didn't want to go to technical secondary school, so I signed up to join the army. This time the army is on vacation, so I came to the capital with my comrades."

Qiao Simi suddenly said: "Then are you going back to Jinling? We can go back together when we have time."

Qi Chenggang shook his head and said: "I won't go back, I have very few vacations, so I can only go back next time."

Qiao Simei regretted: "That's a pity, where are you serving as a soldier! Tell me the address, we can write to contact when we have time."

Qi Chenggang didn't care, so he told Qiao Simi the address of the army.

Qiao Simei also solemnly used paper and notes to write it down.

Qi Chenggang glanced at the Film Academy not far away, and asked: "I still remember that your grades were worse than mine before, and I didn't expect to go to college soon."

Qiao Simei pouted and said, "Don't look down on people, my grades will be good after I go to high school."

"That's not what I meant." Qi Chenggang said nervously, "I admire educated people the most."

Qiao Simi smiled and said, "You're not bad either! If you develop well in the army, you might be promoted in the future."

Qi Chenggang rolled his eyes and asked, "I remember that your second brother seems to be an athlete in the sports team, let's get it done!"

"It's been mentioned earlier. My second brother is not only an athlete, but also a master's student at HKUST. He may be promoted after the Chinese New Year."

Qi Chenggang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you still live in Shamao Lane? I'll visit you when I'm free."

Qiao Simei shook her head and said, "I don't live there for a long time. I usually go to school and live on campus. On weekends, I live at my second brother's house. Let me tell you my second brother's address!"

Qi Chenggang was overjoyed, quickly took out a notebook from his bag, and handed it to Qiao Simei.

"You write it in my notebook."

Qiao Simei didn't notice something was wrong, and directly wrote the address of Wang Gang's old house to Qi Chenggang.

Qi Chenggang was from old Jinling, and he knew where Qiao Simi lived as soon as he saw the address. He remembered that there were mostly old bungalows where scholars and leaders lived.

After solemnly putting away the notebook, Qi Chenggang chatted with Qiao Simei again. Hearing that Wang Gang was in the capital, he insisted on saying hello to Wang Gang regardless of his comrades.

Qiao Simei didn't have a heart, so she took him to the cafe.

Qi Chenggang was very excited to see Wang Gang, and even gave a military salute.

For Qiao Simi's sake, Wang Gang invited Qi Chenggang to drink a cup of coffee.

Sitting down, Qi Chenggang straightened his back, slightly embarrassed, looked at Wang Gang as if he was looking at a military leader.

Qiao Simei happily introduced Qi Chenggang, and told many embarrassing things about her childhood.

Half an hour later, Wang Gang left with his two younger sisters under the pretext of having something to do. Qi Chenggang looked at Wang Gang's leaving back with reluctance in his eyes.

After returning to the hotel, Wang Gang reminded Qiao Simi.

"This Qi Chenggang approached you for an impure purpose, so be careful when dealing with him in the future."

"Second brother, I'm an adult, and you're still worried about my puppy love!" Qiao Simei said disapprovingly.

Qiao Sanli couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded her sister: "Silly girl, you haven't seen it yet, Qi Chenggang wants to use you to get to know the second brother, so as to accumulate contacts for his future development in the army."

Qiao Simei had never been in contact with the society, so she didn't know much about these things, so she said puzzledly: "Second brother, can you stop thinking of people as bad? Qi Chenggang is not serving as a soldier under your command, so you just have a job and can help him What?"

Qiao Sanli wanted to persuade her again, but Wang Gang stopped her and said to Qiao Simi: "I didn't say you can't associate with him, but I told you to be careful."

Qiao Simei said impatiently: "Got it! I still have to prepare for the Chinese opera art test, so I'll go back to my room first."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Simei left Wang Gang's room.

Qiao Sanli understood her sister's character, and knew that she didn't take Wang Gang's words seriously.

"Second brother, why don't you let me persuade Simei again?" Qiao Sanli asked puzzled.

"You don't understand Simei's temperament. The more we talk, the more she won't listen. Besides, it's all our guesswork. How can you make Simei believe it? Let's talk about it later!" Wang Gang sighed.

"That's true. Anyway, Simei will go to the capital to go to school in the future, and Qi Chenggang will go to the army. They won't see each other at all."

For this art test, Qiao Simi signed up for two schools, one for Nortel and one for Chinese opera.

The exams for the Film Academy start first, and the exams for Chinese opera will be in two days.

Wang Gang had nothing to do in the capital, so he asked Xiang Beibei to meet his partner.

Xiang Beibei's girlfriend is Niu Mengmeng, a local girl with a dignified appearance and a bright personality like a northerner, very talkative.

Wang Gang saw that Xiang Beibei and Niu Mengmeng had a very good relationship. Their family backgrounds and workplaces were similar, and they had many common topics.

After seeing Niu Mengmeng, Wang Gang immediately called Xiang Nanfang and praised her future sister-in-law.

Xiang Nanfang immediately said that if he was not too busy with work, he really wanted to go to the capital to meet Niu Mengmeng.

In the past two years, Xiang Nan's work has been very busy. Usually, he can only go home for a day on weekends. If he can't come back when he has time, Wang Gang can only go to Jiangning County to see her.

The two have been married for many years, and they have always had a tacit understanding not to have children, for fear of affecting Xiang Nan's rising career.

Xiang's father has already said hello, and Xiang Nan will be transferred back to the city soon to work in the Propaganda Department. At that time, Wang Gang and his wife will be able to think about the child's affairs.

Wang Gang and Qiao Simi stayed in the capital for ten days, and returned to Jinling after the exam. Qiao Sanli came back with her on winter vacation.

Qiao Simei's performance in the art test is good. She is No. 9 in Nortel and No. 20 in Chinese opera.

After returning to Jinling, Qiao Simei immediately told the family the good news. Qiao Yicheng was very happy, and specially cooked a large table of dishes at home, and invited his younger siblings to have dinner together.

Wang Gang brought a bottle of wine to Qiao Yicheng's house, the house where he used to live, and found that his sister-in-law Wen Ju'an was not there.

"Brother, where is sister-in-law?" Qiao Simei asked Qiao Yicheng.

"Your sister-in-law's father is sick, they went to the hospital for examination." Qiao Yicheng explained.

"It's such a coincidence that my sister-in-law and father fell ill when we came back." Qiao Sanli realized something.

Qiao Yicheng coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and said, "It's an old problem, the sequelae of the surgery back then, isn't it a big deal?"

Wang Gang asked: "Sister-in-law is graduating from university next year, is she considering finding a job or taking the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"She went directly to the primary school for an internship, and she might become a primary school teacher in the future." Qiao Yicheng brought out a plate of mixed tofu from the kitchen.

"Mixed tofu, braised tofu, bean sprouts and tofu soup." Qiao Simi looked at the table full of tofu dishes, and said to Qiao Yicheng speechlessly: "Brother, do you want to make a tofu feast?"

Wang Gang also discovered that in recent years, Qiao Yicheng has become obsessed with eating tofu. He buys tofu twice a day, and sometimes distributes it to them when he buys too much.

"Eating more soy products is good for your health." Qiao Yicheng brought out another bowl of braised pork and said to Qiao Simei, "Here is your favorite braised pork."

Qiao Simei smiled when she saw the meat, sat down happily, and immediately picked up the chopsticks to eat.

"There are no rules." Wang Gang slapped Qiao Simei's hand and said, "You should start eating before we sit down!"

"What's the matter, we are all family members." Qiao Simi squeezed a piece of braised pork with the other hand and put it in his mouth.

Qiao Yicheng was dissatisfied and said: "After getting married, if you continue to be so presumptuous, you will be rejected by your husband's family, and they will also say that our Qiao family has no tutor."

Qiao Simei didn't care and said: "I will find an orphan in the future, without old mothers and fathers, it will be fine!"

"Nonsense." Qiao Yicheng rolled his eyes, and then asked Qiao Sanli, "When will Wang Yiding arrive?"

"It should be soon!" Qiao Sanli looked at her watch, just at this moment there was a knock on the door.

Wang Gang was close to the gate, so he opened it, only to find that the person who knocked was not Wang Yiding, but a woman.

"Sister Ma, why are you here?" Qiao Yicheng saw the woman and hurried to the door.
