Chapter 367: A Satisfying Errand
Wen Jing broke up with Qiao Nan once in 2008, and the reason for the breakup was that they knew about the family's old affairs.
Wen Jing hated her father again, but she didn't even have a chance to blame him, because he fell and became a vegetative person.
In 2009, the most painful year in Wen Jing's life, she lost her boyfriend, lost her father's protection, and was bullied by her stepmother.
But Wen Jing inherited the tenacity of her parents, found a job to support herself, and lived tenaciously. In the most difficult time, she did not forget her father's debt to the Qiao family. Once when she returned to Hong Kong City to sweep the tomb, she involuntarily walked to Jixiang Road, across the road, looking at the signboard of the wonton restaurant.
I don't know how long time has passed, Lao Qiao walked out of the wonton hall and walked in the direction of the family courtyard of No. 2 Middle School. Just as the green light was lit up at the pedestrian crossing, Wen Jing walked towards the wonton restaurant without hesitation.
The furnishings of the wonton restaurant are still the same, but the people have changed. The young boy who had just arrived was sitting at a table counting the change, and ten steel hammers were bundled into a pack, which could be exchanged for whole money at the bank. In the change, there was also a green bank card, which seemed to have been poured out of the cashier drawer.
Wen Jing should be the most beautiful female customer, Xiao Tong blinked his eyes, and said stupidly: "You can only have wontons when you get five o'clock." ”
"I know. Looking at the humble little shop in front of her, and then thinking of the life she had spent in fine clothes and fine food, she couldn't raise her head with a huge sense of guilt.
Wen Jing asked softly, "How long have you been counting?"
"It's been half an hour. ”
"Is this your boss's bank card?"
"Well, he's counting here just now. ”
The change that the child was wrapping with her heart, she had never looked at it squarely. In the huge villa of the Wen family, there are several pots of rich bamboos and copper money grass, as long as there are steel hammers, they throw them into the potted plants, and enshrine those plants that symbolize wealth. Even the nanny won't pick it up. But in such a small shop, they still have to sort it out carefully, save some of it, and go to the bank to exchange it for a whole one.
Wen Jing wanted to escape from this place, but when she walked to the side of the road, she stopped again. She glanced back, and in the distance, Qiao Jianjun was walking towards this side, and his stiff waist stinged Wen Jing's eyes again.
She didn't know that the Qiao family's father and son were engaged in an unprecedented cold war. But she looked at the haggard old Joe and thought to herself - all the misfortunes in this family were caused by her father.
Wen Jing returned to the store and said to Xiao Tong: "In the north, your boss seems to be calling you." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Tong scratched his head, very embarrassed - there is so much money in front of him (in fact, it is only fifty or sixty at most), what if he goes out and is taken away?
Wen Jing saw his thoughts and said, "I'm here to help you watch, you go and come back quickly." ”
This fairy-like beauty will definitely not lie to him.
The little boy ran out happily, and Wen Jing took out the only few hundred yuan from her wallet and mixed it with the pile of change. picked up Lao Qiao's bank card again, hurriedly took a picture, and left the wonton restaurant with his head down, passing by Lao Qiao.
Back in 2011, Wen Jing sat in the wonton restaurant and told the truth and the situation. She added: "In the past few years, I have to fight lawsuits and take care of my father, so I don't have much money. I was afraid that I would forget to transfer it to you, so I asked my friend who works in the bank to ask her to transfer 1000 to you every month. When Qiao Nan was injured, it happened that the money in the card was transferred, and I couldn't care about it...... I don't dare tell you because I'm afraid you won't accept it. ”
"Alas, you said that you kid spent so much effort ......"
"At that time, I broke up with Qiao Nan, and I couldn't think of a better way to compensate. A life is priceless, and this one can't be paid off. So, I pay back a little bit every month, and in this life, I can continue to pay it back, and I can atone for my father's sins!"
This girl's eyes are not only clear, but also have a kind of sincerity that radiates from her bones. Lao Qiao understood at that moment why his son liked her so much, and even wanted to be with her despite the grievances of the two families.
Lao Qiao said: "Since it is said that it is open, don't transfer money in the future." You're still young, and it will cost you a lot of money to start a family, so save it yourself!"
"Hmmm......"
"And this card, you can take it! The money in it is from an unknown source, and I have never spent it, and it is all stored in it. Lao Qiao pushed the bank card over and said, "Speaking of which, this card also saved your grandmother's life, I have to thank you very much." However, I later saved the money I used at that time. ”
"Uncle Qiao, you don't have to give it back to me. Wen Jing pushed the card back again, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qiao, whether you spend it or not, you can take this money first......! I feel better. ”
Lao Qiao no longer pushed back and forth with her, but said very happily: "Then I will help you save it first, and then you can decorate the house, or...... If you want to raise children or something, there will be more places to use money, and I will give it to you when the time comes. ”
Lao Qiao was talking about things a long time later, and Wen Jing hadn't thought about it so much. Thinking about it this way, he still approves of this daughter-in-law!
Wen Jing's heart bloomed and her smile became sweeter. But smiling and smiling, Wen Jing suddenly remembered that Lao Qiao said just now that he asked Xiao Tong to determine that it was his own money.
She asked uneasily, "Uncle Qiao...... You didn't embarrass the boy, did you?"
"Embarrassed?" Old Qiao thought for a while and said with a smile: "He, he doesn't understand how to count money, he can make mistakes in everything, I train him every day, and he hasn't grown, what else can I do?"
On the day Wen Jing took the child away, Lao Qiao was frightened and thought that someone had come to the store to steal something. He didn't have time to reproach the child, so he hurried into the store. As a result, the pile of change was not missing, and there were a few more hundred-dollar bills.
Old Qiao was confused, turned around and asked Xiao Tong, "When I leave, will this money be put on the table?"
The boy scratched his ears: "It seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be, I don't remember......"
"Is this money mine, or did the girl lose it?" Old Qiaohu doubted for a long time, thinking to himself, if the girl lost the money, she would definitely come back to find it. But after a long time, no one looked for it, and Old Joe forgot about this little thing.
In the final analysis, he still sighed that Wen Jing was a very good girl, and her son didn't look away.
Wen Jing still chose leeks leisurely and waited for her boyfriend to come back, but she didn't expect to wait for Teacher Li first. Li Lanzhi had just come back from school and said to her husband: "Lan Yun called me just now, saying that Baoqing had received the admission letter, and they were going to set up a banquet, and asked when we would go back." ”
"Then this weekend! It just so happens that Qiao Lu is back—huh, Baoqing received the notice so soon?"
"Well, it was approved in advance! Didn't Qiao Nan also receive it in advance at that time?"
"Oh, forget about it. ”
"Actually, we don't have to go back, just let the children go back. Li Lanzhi said: "Lan Yun said that Baoqing went to high school in Hong Kong City, and in the past three years, he has also been taken care of by teachers. So after the banquet in the village, he also planned to come to the No. 2 Middle School to hold a thank-you banquet. ”
"That's fine, let's just wait in Port City. Let's do it at home!"
"You also know Lan Yun's temper, so you're afraid of causing trouble to others. He said that he would book a restaurant and just go over for dinner when the time came. If you do it at our house, you will have to be tired for several days, patronizing and taking care of customers, and you can't eat yourself. ”
"Ahem! Lan Yun is still outside! What is this little thing?"
"Okay, after so many years, he really wants to invite us once, just let him be! Let's find a way to subsidize him. ”
Wen Jing listened to them discuss these trivial family matters, pursed her lips and chuckled - the atmosphere of this big family is so good, everyone is so cute, no wonder the three of them have grown up so well.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Nan finished her work as an electrician, and as soon as she returned to the store, she saw Miss Wen's red eyes, and he was startled, thinking that her parents were embarrassing her. Who knew that Wen Jing whispered: "No, it's crying with joy." ”
"What's the good thing?"
"Uh...... That is, Uncle Qiao seems to want me to be his daughter-in-law, thinking longer than me. ”
Wen Jing was overjoyed, and her smile became sweeter and sweeter. Qiao Nan kissed her forehead coldly: "In the final analysis, I still have a good vision." ”
That night, after Qiao Nan sent Wen Jing home, on the way to her aunt's house, she saw Lao Qiao again, who was sitting at the intersection to enjoy the coolness. Old Joe motioned for his son to move a pony over, and he had something to say to his son.
Old Qiao told Qiao Nan about his dream of Wen Jing's mother, he twitched his eyes and narrowed his eyes: "The fate of the world, it's really strange." I hated her dad to death, but in the end, I had to take care of his daughter. ”
"That'...... Would you like to take this errand?"
Lao Qiao smiled dumbly: "You kid! Obviously, you are the object you are looking for, and you asked me if I would like to." ”
"It's my object, and it's also your daughter-in-law, I have to listen to your opinions. ”
Old Joe squinted at the moon again, but did not make a sound, it seemed that it was not easy to evaluate. Qiao Nan remembered his girlfriend's excited appearance, lowered his head and smiled-it was just a polite word from his father, Wen Jing took it seriously.
Smelling the smoke, Qiao Nan coughed uncontrollably twice, and Old Qiao hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butt. Qiao Nan waved his hand and said, "You smoke yours, it's okay." ”
"Don't smoke, when you were a child, I quit for you once. Now that I'm old, it's not interesting to smoke, just quit. ”
"I said it's okay, you just smoke this hobby......"
Old Joe stepped on the cigarette butt and said, "No, it's better to make a big fuss than to take it lightly." The last time your sister came home, she said that you have to take an X-ray every six months, and if you see a shadow, you have to have surgery to suck it out. Don't take it personally!"
"I'm jumping around and there's nothing uncomfortable...... You're just too nervous, and you're all soldiers. ”
Having said that, Qiao Nan still felt warm. He was bitten by a few mosquitoes, then stood up: "There are too many mosquitoes, I'll go to my aunt's house first, you can go back to sleep early." ”
"Good. ”
Old Joe put away the matza and suddenly shouted at his son's back.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"You asked me about that...... That is, Wen Jing's mother entrusted me with that...... I think it's good. ”
Qiao Nan was relieved, and his smile was extraordinarily bright in the dark night.
Lao Qiao also had wrinkles on his face, and said with a smile: "Wen Jing, that girl, I like it very much, I am very satisfied with the person you are looking for!"
