Wen Jing didn't come with her when she went home this time, so there was enough place at home. Qiao Nan could have slept on the sofa, but he was too tall to stretch his legs on the sofa. So, after washing up at home every night, he still insisted on going back to the store to sleep.

There are not only beds, but also freedom, except for a little cramped, everything else is perfect.

(Hey, the combination of bed and freedom seems a bit ...... Forget it, stop imagining!)

As soon as he came back this time, he heard from his parents that the No. 2 Middle School was going to build a new welfare house, and his mother was definitely eligible to apply. But Dad told them that the family didn't have enough money for a down payment. Qiao Nan still wants to get married, and he has to spend some money. Therefore, they are not going to buy welfare housing this time.

The sisters and brothers of the Qiao family also discussed that their parents have suffered all their lives, and when they are old, it is time to improve their living conditions. When I bought the house I live in now, my parents haven't taken a breath for several years, and even Jolene can't afford to raise it. Life was just getting better, and my mother had a serious illness again, which was a nightmare for several years in a row.

Recalling the hard days before, Qiao Lu felt very uncomfortable: "Mom and Dad are like a pair of swallows, one with branches and the other with soil, I don't know how many years it took to fly before I built this home, so that the three of us have a stable nest...... How many years has it been since the second middle school had such benefits, let's help them buy the house. ”

Qiao Nan didn't want to help his parents buy a house, but he bought a house at the end of the year before last, and he had to repay the loan every month, so he really didn't have much money in his hand. Qiao Lu also knew her brother's difficulties, so she said, "You can help as much as you can, don't be embarrassed." When I first joined the company, I didn't spend much money on the settling-in allowance, and it was not a problem to give my parents 50,000 yuan. I'll take it out first, and I'll ask you when it's not enough. ”

The two siblings told their parents all the plans, and Lao Qiao made it clear that he would definitely return the money to the children. He had seen so many family disputes over financial issues that he couldn't ignore even if his children didn't want to.

In addition, Lao Qiao had long made up his mind to buy a big house for his wife. So this money, he must be out of it.

With Qiao Lu's funding, the start-up capital for Lao Qiao's family to buy a house is basically enough, but the old couple still don't dare to be too happy, they are still worried about their children's marriages, and they don't dare to spend money casually.

Anyway, Qiao Nan was depressed for several days. He had been working for several years, and his salary had increased several times, but he was still a poor man who could not contribute a little more to his family.

His parents always told him that he had bought the house on his own, and that he had relieved them of a lot of burdens. But Qiao Nan has strong self-esteem, he always feels that he should share more for this family, not his sister.

On the day of his second year of junior high school, he finished running in the playground of No. 2 Middle School, and his girlfriend who was far away in Bali called him, and he took the opportunity to confide in the distress of a poor man. Wen Jing saw it very openly, and kept comforting him: "Didn't you always say that if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, don't take this road? What's wrong, now you want to get rich?"

"It's not about getting rich, it's because I think it's too difficult to have no money. ”

In Wen Jing's eyes, although her boyfriend is very skinny and his mouth is not honest, I am afraid there is no one more serious than him in terms of abiding by military discipline. He has a brain of a multi-core processor, but he doesn't have any side hustles, he can only get a dead salary, and he will never open an account if he is not allowed to speculate in stocks.

Wen Jing has been learning financial management since she was in college, and under the influence of her father, she came into contact with stocks and funds very early. She plays for a long time and earns a lot. Occasionally, I followed the advice of the electrician, bought it two or three times, and actually made money. She shouted that it was a pity, if he could buy stocks, maybe he would have made a lot of money.

"I thought I could support you with my salary. Thinking about it now, it's a bit naïve. It's okay to feed you, but what if I have a baby in the future? What should I do if my parents are old and sick? My sister still has to buy a house in Beijing, and the pressure is very high, how can I help her?" Qiao Nan became more and more worried, and joked: "Otherwise, when my service period expires, I will submit my resume and become a mercenary! With my qualifications, I should be able to sell myself for a good price......

"What are you talking about!" Wen Jing interrupted him, but was amused by his poor mouth. After laughing enough, she said, "How can I make you so tired? I have sound limbs, good facial features, and I can find a job, and I will support the family with you!"

Qiao Nan's mood was much soothed. On the night of the third year of junior high school, he walked alone in the alley, thinking in his heart that maybe when he reached the age of establishment, he should really compromise with reality. How long can he wear this military uniform?

There was a man in black standing at the mouth of the alley, with his back to Qiao Nan, and it looked like a girl from the back. Opposite her was her sister's boyfriend, and the two were tugging at each other.

Qiao Nan immediately hid in the shadows and listened to the movements of the two. The girl was crying and incoherent, and Xiao Lin said exhaustedly: "How many times have I told you, I don't care about what you said." People live for a lifetime, birth, old age, sickness and death, these are all natural phenomena, why should you count the death of others on her head? You have gone to college, why do you still believe in those feudal superstitions?"

The girl shouted at a sharp voice: "She killed so many people, are you nothing more than your parents?"

Xiao Lin pushed his glasses and said tiredly: "I repeat again, first, her family died of natural causes, not by her; second, my parents are both party members and cadres, and they do not engage in feudal superstition. They admired Qiao Lu's talent and agreed to our relationship a long time ago. ”

The girl let go of her hand and muttered, "What about me? I have liked you for so many years, what am I? I am worse than Qiao Lu?"

Xiao Lin had already stopped a taxi, and said as he got into the car: "Maybe you are good at everything, but your heart is not as good as Qiao Lu." ”

After that, Xiao Lin closed the car door and looked at the girl who was lost and depressed, he was a little unbearable, and said, "Don't go around outside, go home early!"

The girl froze in place, seemingly casting a low spell. The man who made him jealous lived on the other side of the alley. She turned around in resentment, only to find someone else.

As soon as Xiao Lin left, Qiao Nan walked out of the darkness. His hands are in his pockets, seemingly casual, but not easy to mess with.

The distance between the two was a meter, and Qiao Nan asked coldly, "What are you doing near my house?"

Looking at the strong man in front of him, Wang Chao couldn't help but be timid and took a few steps back.

Qiao Nan didn't give up, and said: "You followed my sister in Beijing, and you came to disturb her when you went home." What's the matter, are you waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime?"

Wang Chao couldn't hold it on his face, and said coldly: "You don't come to slander me for no reason." If you dare to hit someone, I will dare to report you. ”

Qiao Nan smiled suddenly: "I usually don't use my hands, but if I move my hands, three punches and two kicks can kill you." I can't do it, can I? Why make trouble for myself?"

Wang Chao was shocked by his physique, but he didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and retreated to himself. Qiao Nan followed a few steps and said, "My sister is doing well, are you angry?" Don't think that you have done a perfect job, as far as you threaten my sister, you can find evidence with a little investigation." Do you want to see what you look like in the surveillance screen?"

Wang Chao was frightened and was about to run, but was grabbed by Qiao Nan. She suddenly shouted loudly, Qiao Nan sneered: "What you did back then, who on this street doesn't know? Don't shout, they won't stand on your side just because you are a girl." ”

Qiao Nan let go of his hand and said, "You tell the truth, what is the purpose of you following my sister?"

"Heh, do you think you're trying a prisoner?

Qiao Nan shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm not interested in knowing, since you don't say it, let's wait until someone really coerces you to confess one day." ”

......

He's not interested???

Qiao Nan yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said, "You go, I hope you can remember that if your eyes are staring at my sister, there will be ten pairs of eyes staring at you." I didn't do it, but I showed mercy to you. Hello for yourself. ”

After Qiao Nan finished speaking, he opened the door of the store and went in without looking back. The lights inside turned on, and the lights went out again, and Wang Chao realized that he was a little frozen.

"Why, the person I like is your boyfriend? Why, everyone is looking to you, and you have a brother who supports you?"

She muttered, two lines of hot tears scraping across her cold face. She stared at the signboard of "Auspicious Wonton House" and said resentfully: "You will be unlucky, and your family will also be unlucky because of you." ”

The next day was the day when Wen Jing returned to China, and she had to transfer from Shanghai to Hong Kong City in the evening. As soon as she came, the accommodation pattern of the Qiao family had to be rearranged and combined, but fortunately, the child did not come back, and the two men of the Qiao family went to live in the store, so that Qiao Lin lived with her mother, and Wen Jing slept on Qiao Lin's bed.

Qiao Nan always felt that arranging accommodation was like playing a game of Tetris, and he had to rack his brains and save space as much as possible. He can book a hotel for Wen Jing, but if the aunt knows, she will not be happy - what's the matter, my house is such a big place, you don't come to live, you have to go outside, is this looking down on me?

Whether you live in a hotel or at the house of relatives and friends, it is not ideal. At this time, Qiao Nan always wants to change a big house for his family.

Before he went to pick up Wen Jing, Qiao Lin took her parents to the supermarket, and he discussed with his sister at home: "We must buy a house built in No. 2 Middle School this time." Even if the money is not enough, I still have comrades-in-arms, so it's a big deal to borrow another hand. Even if I become a poor egg again, the state can still take care of my food, and I won't starve to death. ”

"Listen to Dad, our family's money should be able to get together. His biggest concern is that he is afraid of delaying your wedding. ”

Qiao Nan didn't want to wronged his girlfriend, the wedding must be held. He thought for a while, and then said, "I will make my own money for the wedding, and I will buy a house for my parents first." They have suffered all their lives, and such a good opportunity cannot be missed. ”

Although Qiao Nan doesn't have much money, he can still show his courage at the critical moment. He bought the house by himself, and his daughter-in-law had to marry himself, which he could do.

Qiao Lu held his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be too stressed, we will work together for every major event in the family...... Even Jolene said that after the graduate school entrance examination, she will go to work part-time to help you marry a daughter-in-law. We've grown up and we're all capable. As long as you work hard in one place, let's be a little bitter now, and the days to come will definitely get better and better. ”

"Hmm!"

Qiao Nan thought about a lot of words, but in the end he only said this one word.

Brotherhood is also the most valuable asset of their three children!

Qiao Lu reminded him to go to the airport to pick up Miss Wen. Qiao Nan put on a down jacket and was just about to go out, but he turned back to his sister and said, "Sister, that Lin Shufeng is really good." ”

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Qiao Nan smiled: "It's good that you're with him." ”
