Chapter 199 Poverty is still the original sin
When Qiao Nan was about to end her vacation, she called her sister and said that Qiao Betty was sick.
Jolene almost jumped from the top bunk to the ground, and if the puppy was seriously ill, she would rush straight back to Port City and take it to the doctor. She knew Mom and Dad too well, they didn't have the concept of a "pet hospital" in their minds, they would take good care of Betty, but they wouldn't take her to the doctor.
She cried urgently, and her brother smiled and said, "It's okay, Betty just suffers from a disease that doesn't want to go out." ”
When Joberti grows up, he is like a little wild horse, and when the door opens a small crack, it will escape with lightning speed. It's also an energetic little boy who goes around the little and waits for an opportunity to cause trouble. Jolene was very troubled by this, and every time she walked him, she always held the leash tightly to prevent it from taking any chance, and wondered when to give it a knife.
After Jolene left, Qiao Nan's vacation continued. The perennial army life made him very self-disciplined, and even during his vacation, he would get up on time at half past five and run along the seashore. One day, he took Betty with him. Betty was afraid of him at first, but the big brother used two ham sausages to make him wag his tail wildly.
In this way, they ran one man and one dog on the misty coastline. The owner is heroic, and the dog is lively and cute, running wild with joy. Facing the rising sun, running towards hope. Look, what great promo footage!
Betty was in the lead, but after running for a while, her tongue drooped. However, his master had no intention of stopping, and kept encouraging him: "Comrade Jobetty, can't you even hold on to this little road?
Jo Betty whined, Qiao Nan turned the corner, don't blame Betty, it was originally a dog.
Betty couldn't run anymore and began to play tricks, first rolling, then lying on the ground, lying in a mess, a scoundrel face to see what you can do to me. Qiao Nan didn't care, didn't say a word, picked it up and continued to run. 30 kilograms of armed cross-country have been run down, what is this puppy weighing more than ten pounds?
Since then, Betty has suffered from a serious psychological disorder and is reluctant to go out again, especially with Qiao Nan. The next morning, Qiao Nan wanted to catch it, so it hid everywhere, still showing a tail outside. Qiao Nan felt that the puppy couldn't stay at home all the time, so he called his sister and asked her to help.
Jolene was amused by her brother and laughed, but she was complaining: "You bullied me and bullied Betty, so you are not afraid of retribution?"
"What kind of retribution? I'm tempering it! Is our dog still an ordinary dog? No! It's a dog that has run more than five kilometers! Only by cultivating a strong style can we win the battle......
Jolene expects that by the day her brother leaves, Jobert will transform into an Iron Warrior and become the most capable dog in Port City.
Before her brother's vacation ended, Wen Jing came to the school to find Qiao Lin. Jolene received a call and looked for her in a daze. She drives her own BMW and wears a pair of sunglasses that look expensive, like a female star shooting pictorials.
She spat out a big bubble and greeted Jolene: "HI!"
Jolene recalled that when she saw her before, the star smell on her body was not so strong, like a big lady who eats, drinks and has fun. Wear back to modern attire...... I have to say that Min Rou's aura can only be regarded as eighty percent of her.
Wen Jing took off her sunglasses, and Qiao Lin became familiar with her. Wen Jing pulled her into the car and took her to a Western restaurant. A glass of water on the menu cost thirty dollars, and Jolene almost got up and slipped away. But what my brother said, she couldn't act too uninformed, so she pretended to be calm, smiled and ordered the cheapest one.
Wen Jing smiled without saying a word, summoned the waiter, and replaced her with the same main dish as herself. After the waiter left, Wen Jing said very generously: "Maybe you are not used to eating Western food, but you are in college, and you have to get in touch with all aspects, which is also good for you." ”
Jolene nodded, thinking to herself that if Min Rou invited herself to Western food (if there would be a day), she would definitely sit across from her in a domineering manner, watching how she behaved. And although this young lady is a rich man, she is amiable and considerate, which makes people feel close.
When Jolene was in college, there was a particularly popular TV series called "Struggle". Jolene liked Milai the most, and she said, "I thought you looked like Min Xianyi at first, and then I thought you looked like Milai...... Later, I thought you were more beautiful than both of them. ”
Wen Jing smiled heartily and asked very frankly, "Who is Min Xianyi?"
"It's the captain of the Korean girl group Onder Girls! They just released a new song "Nobody", which I recommended to the captain of our dance team, and they are now rehearsing!"
"I don't care much about Korean pop music, so I don't know much about her. ”
Jolene replied honestly, "Actually, I don't know much about it, but my cousin likes it very much, I have practiced dance with her, and whenever I see a beautiful choreography, we will pick it off." ”
"It's good, I don't have any brothers and sisters, and I'm alone in everything. ”
Jolene was very sad when she heard her, and she felt very uncomfortable, and she wanted to persuade her that having brothers and sisters was not necessarily a good thing, just like herself, and she didn't want to beat her brother to death every minute? But this was her brother's new girlfriend, and Jolene couldn't expose his shortcomings, but she had to say good things about him.
"Sister, how did my brother confess to you?"
Wen Jing's cheeks were slightly red: "I haven't confessed yet, I'm still waiting." However, I don't think it's too late, and we can date. ”
"It's not okay if you don't confess, I'll urge him for you!"
"Don't say goodbye, don't burden him. Brother Qiao Nan is a very mature person, he has his own ideas. As for you, just live your college life with peace of mind, if there is anything, just call your sister. ”
Jolene nodded obediently again, her heart warm. Although I don't have much contact with her, this young lady should be a very interesting person, right? After losing his girlfriend, his brother is forced to smile, but recently he has been very happy, and gradually found his past self back. There are many times when Jolene wants to kill her brother, but she is also full of hope that her brother can be happy for a long time.
Qiao Nan lived at home for a month, repaired all the problems in the house, threw away the old computer given by Xu Wei, and moved a brand new set back. His parents said that he spent too much money, but Qiao Nan said: "If you don't spend money on your family, who will you spend it on?"
After all, his son needs a house when he gets married, and the down payment of the house can make Qiao Jianjun worried. Qiao Nan was not worried at all, and said: "We still have benefits for buying a house, I plan to buy a smaller set at the beginning of next year, and then change to a bigger one when I have the ability, didn't you all come here like this back then?"
The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and most of the sons' sensibility is forced out by the family's circumstances. So the more self-reliant his son is, the more guilty Qiao Jianjun feels.
The night before leaving, Qiao Jianjun cooked several dishes and spent a lot of time making dumplings filled with mackerel. Qiao Nan remembered Wen Jing who was far away in Beijing, so he tentatively asked his father, what is the festival between the Qiao family and the Wen family? Is the surname Wen a colleague who stumbled during the fertilizer factory, or is it a gangster who made trouble at home after opening a shop?
Qiao Jianjun was originally pleasant, but when he heard the word "Wen", he dropped his chopsticks with a cold face. Li Lanzhi picked up the chopsticks for him, and his tone was not very friendly: "You, you can't always complain about others, although he has done something wrong, but he is also kind to our family!"
He gave us money, not because he found out in his conscience and wanted to admit his mistake to us, but because he wanted to settle things and spend some money to send us away!"
Qiao Nan was anxious: "Parents, can you explain clearly, what's going on?"
Li Lanzhi sighed: "You have grown up, and it is time to tell you." The murderer who killed your biological mother back then, we know who he is......"
Qiao Nan became excited after a long absence: "Didn't you say that the man fled after hitting someone? There are no clues at all! Could it be that the person's surname is Wen?"
Qiao Jianjun said in disappointment: "Yes, I later learned that his surname is Wen." At that time in 85, there was really no way to trace it, I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother, and begged the police to investigate for a long time, but the police did not find any clues. A few people saw it, but all they could say was 'the woman went to pick up the child's hat and was hit by a truck, so the car rerouted and ran away'. The police said that the car was 80% a foreign car, and that after it fled, it never returned to Port City. ”
Li Lanzhi was afraid that Qiao Nan would misunderstand, so she quickly took over the conversation and said: "Your father has really traced it for several years, and he took a small book to make a record, and he recorded the license plate numbers of large and small trucks in Hong Kong City, but he found nothing. Later, four or five years later, a woman came to our house and said that her husband had made an unforgivable mistake, and she felt so guilty that she brought her daughter to admit her mistake. She inquired for several years before she found our house. ”
"Your father was so angry that he wanted to detain her and force her husband to come and get her. The woman said she had persuaded her husband to turn himself in, but he refused, and fled to Southeast Asia after she reported the crime. She came to Hong Kong City with all her belongings and apologized to the Qiao family with the greatest sincerity. I don't expect to get the Qiao family's forgiveness, but I hope to alleviate a little sin and do something for the family. Alas, that's such a good woman, how can she have such a husband?"
Qiao Nan was cold, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then what happened later? You accepted her money, so you won't pursue it?"
Li Lanzhi wanted to speak again and again, but still told the truth: "Your father didn't accept her money, and that woman never came to our house again." After another six or seven years, a lawyer came from Beijing, and he took out a settlement letter, hoping to reach a settlement with the Qiao family and save their Wen from prison. ”
When Li Lanzhi said this, Qiao Jianjun didn't dare to raise his head, drank glass after glass, and finally simply dried up on the bottle. Qiao Nan snatched the wine bottle and asked with red eyes, "That's ...... You reconciled with him?"
Qiao Jianjun was ashamed, and tears flowed for a long time: "Nan Nan, that year was 98 years, our family really has no choice......"
It was another damn year! And the timing of his plea for reconciliation was fucking speechless.
Li Lanzhi held Qiao Nan's hand and said, "Do you remember the girl who came to our house at the beginning of the year? Looking at her photo, I remembered that she looked very similar to her mother. Is it because of her that you asked?"
Qiao Nan had a splitting headache, and he covered his eyes to prevent his family from seeing his embarrassment. He kicked open his chair, picked up his belongings, and left the house without looking back.
The autumn wind is already very cold, and the colder it is, the more unfortunate the person will be. In the process of growing up, he was beaten and scolded by his father countless times, and he had a cold war with him countless times, but every time, he showed goodwill to his father first. But this time, he was not going to forgive him.
