"San'er, the contents of this amulet are very effective. The Immortal said that if you encounter any difficulties, just open it and take a look. It will definitely help you turn disaster into good luck."
Yang Guixiang said, and bowed to the sky in four directions again, just in case the great god might have gone somewhere.
"Mom, you are all superstitious. How powerful a deity can reach Hainan? Why do I not believe it so much?"
Joe moved forward noncommittally.
"Don't believe this evil. There is nothing wrong with listening to mother. Let me tell you, mother has been through many more things than you. If you listen to the old man, you won't suffer any loss."
Yang Guixiang was afraid that Qiao Xiangqian wouldn't pay attention to this amulet, so she emphasized it several times.
"Dad, let me see the amulet grandma gave you."
Qiao Jinling took it and looked around, then secretly slipped a note into it when the adults weren't paying attention.
It is estimated that the amulet Yang Guixiang asked for might not be able to protect Qiao moving forward, but the note she stuffed could definitely help her father.
…
This New Year is a very warm one. Maybe everyone knows that the day of separation is coming, so we especially cherish the time together.
But the day of separation always came so quickly. Even though Qiao Xiangqian was reluctant to leave, he still resolutely stepped on the train heading south.
Sun Huifang and Qiao Jinling saw the train slowly leaving on the platform. Even though they were separated, Qiao Jinling was not that sad because she knew that her father was going to show off his talents.
Before her father left, Qiao Jinling also inquired about his father's plan. The Hainan government provides a lot of policy support for construction in remote areas. It not only provides interest-free loans, but also provides assistance in various aspects such as planting, construction, and management.
Qiao Xiangqian wants to use these lands to plant rubber trees on a large scale. In the future, China's economy will develop rapidly, and cars will gradually enter thousands of households, and tires will require a lot of rubber.
Of course she knew that her father would be very hard on this trip, and everything would have to start from scratch, but based on zero, it would be exponential fission wealth.
"Okay, Mom, don't look anymore. Dad is already gone. If you miss him in the future, let's take the train to see him."
Qiao Jinling shook her mother's hand.
"Bah! Who cares about him? I'm thinking about how to deal with the mess your father left me. I don't know anything about leather shoe factories. Selling leather shoes is just fine."
"My mother is so smart and can learn everything as soon as she learns. How can a small leather shoe factory have trouble keeping you?"
"Young people with small mouths will say that in the next half year, you will be in third grade and you will become a big girl. You have to study hard. Otherwise, who are your parents working so hard for? It's not all for you."
This is what parents often say, as if without children, they will not make money.
"I understand, Mom. I study all for you. If I study, you will be happy. If you are happy, I will be happy. Is that okay?"
Qiao Jinling climbed up the pole. In fact, she understood that what parents want from their children is just a learning attitude. They have suffered the loss of being uneducated and do not want their children to make the same mistakes again.
The sunshine stretched the silhouettes of mother and daughter very long. Qiao Jinling wished she had a mobile phone so that she could know what her father was doing anytime and anywhere, but now she didn't even have a phone at home, so she could only send telegrams for important matters.
But she knew the age of telephones was coming soon.
The days when nothing happened always passed very quickly. This year, Qiao Jinling's house was equipped with a telephone. Sun Huifang was so curious about it that she even hooked up a piece of cloth to cover it.
She became addicted to this and wanted to cover all the valuable things in her home with cloth.
The leather shoe factory is also running very smoothly. The south is rich in materials, especially rubber soles, which are very low-cost. Qiao Xiangqian always sends fashionable leather shoe styles from the south to the R&D department of the leather shoe factory for reference.
Innovation. Therefore, the leather shoe factory is developing even better than before, and the leather shoes sell very well every season.
He Hongli and Liu Kaijin were quarreling. But both of them understood that no matter how fierce the quarrel was, they could never separate. Quarrels had become the norm, but a habit.
Qiao Jinling has always wanted not to tell Mrs. Ge about Ge Ruiwei and his father. The truth of the matter is too cruel. The father and son can obviously go home. If not, they can make a phone call or send a telegram to tell the old mother and ask her not to do this.
Worried, but nothing
Every time she saw the lonely figure of Mrs. Ge sitting at the door, looking around, Qiao Jinling felt sad.
"Grandma Ge, it's windy outside, please come inside."
Qiao Jinling couldn't bear it when she came back from school. Since the second semester of second grade, every time after school, the old lady would sit at the door like a statue.
"Oh, Lingling, you came back from school, but your mother didn't pick you up?"
Mrs. Ge's eyes were a little cloudy, as if she couldn't focus.
"Grandma Ge, I am already in third grade and can go home by myself."
As if she had heard a big news, Mrs. Ge hugged Qiao Jinling into her arms and murmured to herself: "No! There are too many bad people outside, my Xiaowei! Grandma is so useless.
It would be nice if I could pick you up after school, so that you won't be taken away by bad people."
Qiao Jinling felt cool water droplets on her cheeks. When she looked up, she saw that they were Mrs. Ge's tears.
The old lady was a little confused.
"Grandma Ge, there is actually something I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I am afraid that you will worry if I tell you. I don't know if it is good or bad to tell you."
Qiao Jinling really couldn't bear it anymore. She couldn't bear to see Mrs. Ge in her current state. Maybe telling the truth would make Mrs. Ge's situation better. At least she could rest assured that the father and son were still fine.
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Ge asked blankly.
Suddenly, she got a little excited, pinched Qiao Jinling's arm, and asked in a trembling voice: "Do you have any news about Xiaowei and the others? Do you know where they are? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me?!"
Mrs. Ge's voice was hoarse and there was a look in her eyes.
"Grandma Ge, please calm down. When I went to Hainan with my father before, I changed trains in Guangzhou and saw them at the train station. We only met once, and the two of them didn't know where they were going."
Qiao Jinling didn't lie.
On the way back, she and her father specifically looked for the father and son at the train station, but after asking the patrol police and people running stalls nearby, there was no news. They probably moved to another place.
"Where is Hainan? Have they gone to the sea? Is Guangzhou far away? Have they drifted into the sea?"
The light in Mrs. Ge's eyes gradually dimmed, and she spoke incoherently, as if she didn't know what she was talking about.
"Grandma Ge, Hainan is not a sea, it is a place very far away from us, very far away, it is in the south."
Qiao Jinling whispered, but her explanation was in vain. Mrs. Ge still looked confused.
She didn’t understand why her child went into the sea because he didn’t know how to paddle.
