overheard the conversation of a few boys, although it was not the original intention of the Qiao family and the couple, but since they heard it, the old couple experienced another mental storm.

From an outsider's point of view, this son is good at everything, and he can't find anything wrong with it. However, if you really want to evaluate him, it is estimated that he can only be described by the old saying "honest bear" in Hong Kong City.

I forgot if Sydney had popularized this concept before. Honest bear, as the name suggests, is an honest person + bear child. This kind of person can not only behave very well-behaved in front of adults, but also call for wind and rain in a group of bear children. Qiao Nan is an outstanding representative of "Honest Bear".

When the 98 version of "Water Margin" was broadcast that year, there were thousands of empty alleys in Hong Kong City, and Jixiang Road soon became popular with a craze for worshipping handles. It is reported that the little children all want to be the king of Chao Tian, but only Qiao Nan is the king, and they have no objections (but it is said that Qiao Nan himself prefers Lu Zhishen, he said that this is the most perfect image in the Water Margin). They often take the step of "six relatives do not recognize" and follow him to show off their might.

The Qiao family and his wife didn't believe it at first, but later some parents complained, saying that their children threw away their schoolbags every time they came home, shouting "Sprinkle is back"; Qiao Jianjun's mind was full of black lines, and he turned around and beat Qiao Nan, completely suppressing his gangsterism.

Qiao Nan is often like this, and does all the naughty things in silence. The Qiao family and his wife also wondered, this child doesn't have much pocket money, how did he win people's hearts?

Hearing about the "literary books" collected by her son, Li Lanzhi was so flustered that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. She asked her husband, "Have you noticed that since our son came back, the boys in the neighborhood can't control it? If people come to sue him again, what will they do? Alas, he will have to be the company commander......

"Sleep, sleep, that's why the kids are willing to play after him! Tomorrow when Lulu comes back, he will be honest. ”

Qiao Jianjun was right, with Qiao Lu's return, not only Qiao Nan, but also the excitement and carnival of the boys on Jixiang Road fell silent.

That day, when Qiao Lu dragged her suitcase back to this alley, all the children became well-behaved. JPG, everyone shouted with a smile on their faces, "Sister Lu is back?"

Qiao Nan, who is invincible among boys, is no longer a demon, but has become a little brother with a bag. In fact, Qiao Lu was applying for a project recently, in order to get engaged and send her sister to college, she ended the application in the fastest time and flew back to her hometown.

In the past few days in Hong Kong City, Grandma sewed a brand new set of bedding for Jolene. The fabric is pure cotton, and there is a thick layer of cotton inside. Although grandma tried her best to use plain colors, it still looked earthy. Li Lanlan persuaded her impatiently: "Do you still think this is a few decades ago, and you still have to carry a quilt to school?

Grandma finished it very stubbornly, and Jolene liked it so much that she even said that she would take it to Beijing. Anyway, my brothers and sisters are going to see her off, as long as my brother is there, no matter how heavy the luggage is, I can take it.

Grandma smiled: "It's good that Linlin likes it, I'm old, I don't know if I can sew a quilt for you anymore." ”

Qiao Lin blocked her grandmother's mouth again, and said arrogantly: "My sister is getting married, you still make a quilt for her, and you have to make it for me!"

"Okay, okay! I'll try to live until then. ”

In 2008, a lot of big things happened in China, but for Qiao's family, the biggest thing was the engagement of the eldest daughter. But the strange thing is that Qiao Lu is not shy, nor joyful, only faint ...... Not happy.

Qiao Lu's unhappiness was written on her face, and even Min Jia could see it. Qiao Nan quietly asked her sister, did she have a conflict with Xu Wei?

Qiao Lu said very tiredly, she didn't want to get engaged this marriage.

Qiao Lu is a very calm person, if she hadn't thought it through, she wouldn't have said it easily. In front of her younger brother, she didn't hide it, but said truthfully: "Xu Wei's grandmother called me and wanted me to take the initiative to break up with Xu Wei. ”

"How old is his grandmother, why do you say that?"

"Do you remember that old lady, when we were children, she divided the children into three, six, nine and so on. I still remember that when Xu Wei's family bought the first DVD, I said, 'It's really rich'. His grandmother said in a weird way that the rich spend more and more money, while the poor can only get poorer and poorer. Do you see those who pick up garbage, can they let their children watch DVDs? In the summer, they are reluctant to buy even ice cream for their children. I ran away and never spoke to her again. ”

In the most difficult time for Qiao's family, Qiao Jianjun collected waste products in the compound and earned some meager change to subsidize the family. That summer, the children of the Qiao family really couldn't even eat ice cream. Xu Wei sent all the wholesale ice cream at home to Qiao's house, but Qiao Nan only took three and said, "Look, even the electricity in the refrigerator has been turned off in my house, where is the excess ice cream?"

Xu Wei felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and when other families heard it, they would also feel embarrassed about the Qiao family's situation. Only Xu Wei's grandmother is not like this, when chatting with others, she deliberately said in a loud voice: "People are poor for a reason, either lazy or stupid, and they will be poor to the end, and even the children will be affected." We also have patients in our family, but they are not so poor that they can't open the pot. It can be seen that the root cause of poverty is in the relationship with people. ”

Qiao Lu had heard such words, and Qiao Nan had also heard them. Qiao Lu studied hard, which had nothing to do with her ridicule. Reading is the only thing she is sure can change her fate, she must grasp it well, and let those who look down on the Qiao family all shut up.

mentioned this old lady, Qiao Lu had a headache: "I promised Xu Wei as soon as my head was hot, but I forgot about this old lady." ”

"Sister, don't be afraid, with me, I will definitely not let you be bullied. ”

The next day's engagement banquet was held at one of the most famous seafood restaurants in Hong Kong City, which was located by the sea and was richly decorated. I heard that the per capita consumption here is 3 to 500, and in the port city ten years ago, ordinary people simply did not have the courage to come here to eat.

Jolene was also touched by her sister's light, and it was the first time she walked into such a high-end hotel. She kept looking left and right, and her brother kept turning her head over to remind her not to look like she had never seen the world.

For this engagement banquet, Xu Wei's grandmother, two aunts and uncles all came from Beijing. They arrived at the hotel in advance and sat in the box, Qiao's family came, they grinned and said hello, but except for Xu Wei's parents, no one went out to greet them.

Grandma Xu Wei was wearing a scarlet silk cheongsam and a pair of gold-wire glasses, revealing a majesty in her elegance. Her glance was a command.

Before the banquet, the families on both sides exchanged a few words. After asking about the situation of Qiao's family, Xu Wei's sister-in-law smiled: "The catering industry is profitable, the uncle who sells duck necks at the gate of our community can drive a BMW, your store is quite famous in Hong Kong City, and the annual income is at least hundreds of thousands, right?"

As soon as these words came out, where was Qiao Jianjun embarrassed to say? He took a sip of tea and snorted, wanting to fool this matter over. But after he put down the teacup, Xu Wei's relatives were still staring at him, and they didn't let him go at all.

Qiao Lin had seen that kind of look, and when Shen Chunxiao forced herself again and again, which of the three children of the Qiao family was not her own, it was this kind of unrelenting look. Persistent, but also full of viciousness.

So, Qiao Lin took the initiative to block the gun for her father: "My father mainly cooks food for the students of the second middle school, and he often says that he can't bear to ask the students for money, so my store has been open for ten years, and the price has hardly increased." Auntie, my dad has no talent for making money, but can you tell me where that duck neck shop is? When I go to Beijing, I will learn from him, and I want to make a lot of money. ”

The sister-in-law touched a soft nail, and this time it was her turn to drink tea. After putting down the teacup, she sneered, "I'm not old, but my mouth is quite fast." ”

Qiao Lin immediately became excited: "Wow, Auntie, I was seen through by you so quickly, I speak very quickly, and my classmates say that I am a reporter!"

“……”

The adults hurriedly laughed a few times to liven up the atmosphere. Li Lanzhi motioned to Qiao Lin not to speak, but she pretended not to understand.

Xu Wei's eldest uncle is also a cadre in the army, and his aunt is graceful and luxurious, so he knows that he is not an ordinary cadre. As soon as the aunt heard that Qiao Nan was in a combat unit, she frowned and said, "You have such good conditions, why don't you go to a better unit?"

Faced with this unfriendly question, Qiao Nan smiled: "I was recommended by the school, but I almost put my life into it during the assessment." So I thought that only those who had the best grades in our unit could go. ”

“…… If you want to be transferred, let us help you clear up the relationship, it's not difficult. ”

Jolene is annoyed by people who dictate other people's lives, and I really don't know where their superiority comes from. She finally understood why Xu Wei's parents were reluctant to go to Beijing and associate with these relatives.

But without Jolene's action, my brother had already fought back beautifully: "Thank you for your kindness." But why do so many people want me to be transferred? But I'm doing well. When you're young, you want to be stimulated for another two years. When you don't want to play anymore, you can find a unit to go to work and live comfortably. ”

Jolene almost wanted to applaud her brother, it was amazing! It was amazing to show that she was excellent and not to offend anyone!

Grandma Xu Wei didn't want the Qiao family to continue to succeed, so she pointed the finger at Qiao Lu: "Qiao Lu, how many years do you have to graduate?"

"I've taken all my credits and will graduate in two years. ”

"Truth be told, I'm 81 years old, I've had heart surgery, and I've been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer this year. I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in this life, and now I want to hold my grandson. If you can put down your studies and get married and have children right away, I don't have any other ideas. After all, as long as you marry into the Xu family, you don't need to work at all, and this life is also fine clothes and food. ”

Qiao Lu tried her best to restrain her anger and said calmly: "Grandma, I will definitely give birth to a child, but it is not forced to give birth, but my husband and I like it and let it be." It's impossible for me to give up my current research, let alone my work. ”

Grandma Xu Wei was not angry, and pressed step by step: "Our Xu family does not need a strong woman, but a good woman who keeps to herself." I also know what is going on in your family, so I am very happy to come to meet your family today. ”

Qiao Lu finally couldn't help it: "To put it bluntly, she is a woman who obeys your words and specializes in inheriting your Xu family, right?"

"Qiao Lu, don't be unscrupulous!" Grandma Xu Wei slapped the table and shouted: "In the past few years that you have been dating Xu Wei, his uncle has passed away, his father has left the second middle school, I have been diagnosed with cancer again, and your laboratory caught fire, causing Xu Wei to burn ......"

Grandma Xu Wei took a breath and lowered her voice: "Your birth has brought misfortune to so many people, if it weren't for your good conduct, can I promise you to associate with Xu Wei?
