Chapter 156 Preparations for the New Year (I)
The sound of firecrackers sounded again, and the end of the year was approaching. After leading Qiao Lin back to his hometown to go to the grave, Qiao Jianjun's legs trembled with exhaustion. Jolene is worthy of a caring little padded jacket, and as soon as she got home, she sat on the pony and beat her father's legs.
In the past, wonton restaurants were open until the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but this year they will not open until the 26th of the lunar month. Qiao Jianjun gave Xiao Tong a red envelope and asked him to buy more food for his wife, and Xiao Tong went back to his hometown with great gratitude.
Since paying off his debts, Qiao Jianjun has been much more relaxed in his work. He was also getting older, and he talked to Qiao Lin again and again: "If it weren't for your sister and your brother, we don't know when our family's debts would be paid off!" Your sister's scholarship is all saved and sent back if she saves 10,000 yuan; your brother is too, he has saved all the allowances and scholarships, and he has given all the cards to your mother when he comes back." Alas, how many children can do that? I'm content, content!"
Jolene's ears were cocooned by him, and she was indeed grateful to her brother and sister, and it was thanks to their help that she was able to live happily without worrying about food and clothing. In the past few days before the Chinese New Year, Qiao Jianjun has been preparing for the New Year's goods and buying a lot of things, and the wonton restaurant is about to become a small warehouse.
Looking at the full New Year's goods, Qiao Jianjun felt a sense of satisfaction, and he even asked his little daughter: "Linlin, does Dad look like a landlord?"
Jolene said very earnestly, "If I said yes, would you give me some extra pocket money?"
"Heyβwhere's the TV remote? Look in my house!, I'm going to have to drink two cups with your mom tonight......
Jolene pursed her lips and stopped beating her father's legs. She ran into the alley and went to play with her friends.
Approaching the end of the year, the business of Chenglin Supermarket is very good, and every day there are friends who come to buy "Didi tendons", as well as monkeys. I don't know if today's children still know "Didi tendon", which is simply a slender strip that will spark when lit.
The old ladies of the neighborhood committee kept an eye on the children every day and forbade them to set off firecrackers. If they were caught, they would describe it vividly: "You know Xu Wei, right? When he was a child, he set off firecrackers, pinched them in his hands and lit them, saying that he would throw them out before they exploded. As a result, I didn't throw it out, and the firecracker exploded in my hand, and my hand was blown up......!
The children were scared into ice sculptures, and they forgot to suck when their snot ran down. I glanced at my little hands, and I was glad that they were not blown up by firecrackers. As a result, the relatively safe Didijian and the Sky Monkey have become the best-selling children's New Year equipment.
Xu Wei, who is spending his winter vacation in the United States, must have hot ears, he definitely didn't expect that the people of Jixianglu would remember him so much. Originally, he could come back during the winter vacation, but in order to accompany Qiao Lu, he chose to stay in the United States for the New Year.
His parents occasionally come to the wonton restaurant for dinner, and Xu's mother said with tears in her eyes that this child has never spent the New Year outside, and it is really not good to run so far at once. Fortunately, there is Qiao Lu by his side, and it is good for the two to be companions.
Qiao Lin heard from her sister that Xu Wei didn't take much graduate classes, and his energy was focused on making money. He can smell business opportunities everywhere he goes, and he can be said to be the first batch of cosmetics purchasing. Qiao Lu hoped that he would study hard and get a scholarship, and later saw his talent in business, so he went with him.
The most ideal career for the people of Hong Kong City must be a civil servant, or a career editor, and the concept of "learning and excellence" is deep-rooted. Parents want their children to study hard, and only by reading can they find a "stable" iron rice bowl - the money can be small, but one
It must be stable, so that you can only save face if you say it. Some of Xu Wei's practices are not doing their jobs properly in the eyes of adults. However, Qiao Lu is not a conservative person after all, she hopes that Xu Wei can give full play to her strengths.
However, Qiao Lu warned him again and again - purchasing is risky, in case you are caught one day, I will not catch you, so that you can have a long memory. Xu Wei knew that Qiao Lu was just scaring himself, and his business was doing well, and a large part of it was also for Qiao Lu. He said that she should not have any financial burden and be able to do what she wants to do.
Growing up, Xu Wei has always been adventurous. Qiao Lin had a whim, maybe the neighborhood committee should find a publishing house to compile a comic book, called "Jixiang Road Children's Safety Manual - Taking Xu Wei as an Example". For example, it is forbidden to go up to the tree to dig out birds' eggs, otherwise it is easy to hang up your pants and cause damage to certain parts of the tree, and it is forbidden to bathe in the sea and leave your clothes indiscriminately, otherwise it is easy to steal all the clothes and end up running on the street in swimming trunks...... Wait a minute. Even if Xu Wei went to the United States for graduate school, his deeds are still a good example of education, and he will influence generations of children on Jixianglu.
There are a lot of tutorial classes next to Chenglin Supermarket, and the time before the tutoring class ends and eats dinner should be the most lively time in the alley. The children have become whistle spirits, and their ears hurt. Wei Chenglin helped in his supermarket and kept telling the children: "Pay attention to safety, don't burn your clothes, and don't burn others." β
Sun Ruiyang came to Wei Chenglin to discuss things, and also advised: "Avoid the wires when you release the drill monkeys! If you burn the wires, there will be no cartoons to watch." β
Qiao Lin looked at them from a distance, as if she saw her brother and Xu Wei, and the group of children running with joy were like Sun Ruiyang and Wei Chenglin in the past. Before you know it, the brothers have left this alley, and they who were once young have grown up to be big brothers.
After the baby finished the piano lesson, he went to the Chenglin supermarket with his friends, Sun Ruiyang called her several times, she ignored it, she was lively and active, she couldn't stop at all, and she didn't even talk to her brother well.
Or Jolene caught her, Jolene deliberately asked with a straight face, "Why don't you ignore your brother?"
The baby shook his head: "I don't know him well." β
An invisible flying knife quickly plunged into Sun Ruiyang's chest.
Jolene continued to be persuasive: "Baby, your brother loves you, do you know what kind ......of existence your brother is?
"Yes, my brother is a relative of mine that I don't know very well!" the baby interrupted Jolene by jumping high.
β......β
Qiao Lin silently glanced at Sun Ruiyang, there should be countless shiny daggers stuck in his chest.
The baby broke free from Qiao Lin's shackles and continued to be a running whistle spirit, Sun Ruiyang had no choice but to spread his hands and went with her.
The two of them sat down at the door of Chenglin Supermarket, and without speaking, they looked at the children running around. Sun Ruiyang opened the conversation box first and asked, "Brother Qiao Nan has news?"
"Well, I called home the day before yesterday and said I was back. β
"That's good, at least the family can spend the New Year with peace of mind. When are you leaving?"
Jolene replied: "I left on the first day of the new year, so I won't be at my house for New Year's Eve this year." β
"It's okay, it's better to be able to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind than anything else. β
Having just experienced such a big turmoil, Jolene is experiencing the value of "peace of mind". Sun Ruiyang obviously heard about it too, and he said: "I saw Min Jia when I went out just now, when did she get a dog?
It's pretty good. β
"That's my dog, I lent it to Min Jia!"
"Haha, no wonder! You have a dog, a puppy has a puppy!"
Qiao Lin slammed his arm, making him beg for mercy again and again, and arched his hands: "Little Miss Qiao, be merciful!"
It was rare to meet him, of course Qiao Lin told him all her troubles, Sun Ruiyang listened, and said: "Everyone has everyone's life, don't always take the responsibility on yourself, you didn't do anything wrong." β
"My mom said she was going to report back to school. She said that Shen Chunxiao's incident had a great impact on her, and if she stayed in school and found such signs in time, maybe she could be saved, and Min Jia would not have ended up so miserably. β
"I heard that the current No. 2 Middle School is smoky, Teacher Li really wants to go back?"
Jolene said: "My mother said that it was because of the miasma that she wanted to go back. β
Sun Ruiyang was in awe: "Sure enough, it's Teacher Li, admire and admire!"
The two of them were talking in the twilight, and the baby went into the Chenglin supermarket with his friends, bought a lot of snacks, and had no intention of going home.
Sun Ruiyang drank her, confiscated her snacks, and reprimanded: "Sun Jiaoyang! You have eaten so many snacks, do you want to eat dinner?"
The baby stuck out his tongue mischievously: "Don't eat it!"
After that, he quickly snatched away the snacks and played with the children.
Sun Ruiyang was very puzzled: "The grades are counted down in the class, the piano is a mess, and the adults don't listen to it at all, and they still like to play games...... Who the hell is this girl with?"
Qiao Lin said: "When you weren't there, she was quite clingy to Wei Chenglin. β
When Wei Chenglin returned with honors, Chen Yun specially visited and asked Wei Chenglin to take the baby to play the piano, so that this holiday would not affect his studies.
Chen Yun said with a sad face: "Playing the piano with her, everyone has passed the fourth level, and she can't even pass the second level, it's really a shame! Let Cheng Lin help take a belt, and after passing the fourth level, it can be regarded as a beginner!"
Zhao Yanfen didn't have an opinion, but she asked puzzledly: "Isn't the boss of the Song family back?"
Chen Yun smiled and didn't speak. If the boss of the Song family is allowed to tutor, the baby may not even finish playing a tune, and she will be kicked out by her.
"Don't worry, I will pay Chenglin as much as I pay to the piano store. β
In this way, Wei Chenglin became the baby's tutor and watched her practice. He didn't plan to collect money, after all, when Sun Ruiyang gave him a make-up lesson, he didn't ask him for money. But Chen Yun knew it in her heart, or rather, from the beginning, she wanted to help Wei Chenglin and let him tutor the baby, but it was just a pretense.
It was dark, Sun Ruiyang grabbed the baby and forcibly sent it home. Qiao Lin felt that Sun Ruiyang and Wei Chenglin were muttering something together, but it was a topic between two boys after all, so she thought about it and didn't ask.
Qiao Lin was about to go home for dinner, but the old lady of the Wei family grabbed her: "Linlin, go to my house for dinner! Cheng Lin and his aunt sent some taro, I made taro rice, you and Cheng Lin can eat together!"
Her mother didn't let her go to other people's houses to eat casually, but the charm of taro rice was too great, and Qiao Lin was very embarrassed. Mrs. Wei said very boldly: "I'll call your mother, and you'll eat at my house! Your family is about to go out of the house, and I won't see you for a few days, so I won't be allowed to invite you to dinner?"
