Chapter 272: In a good mood
"So, Lilan wasn't actually born by A-Niang?" Qiao Sigu thought to herself, no wonder Grandpa Qiao would be more indulgent to this girl.
Father Qiao nodded, "That's right, my father hurts her the most." ”
"But I don't know who Lilan's mother is. He also didn't know if Fifth Aunt Qiao was Grandpa Qiao's biological daughter.
More than 20 years ago, before the founding of New China, the land of the motherland was filled with the smoke of war, and many things were drowned in the smoke of gunpowder, and there was no way to find out.
"What do you think of it?" asked Qiao's mother.
"I don't think she's like someone from my family. Father Qiao said with a frown.
At least the Qiao family has never had such a ruthless person.
Qiao's mother sighed, but as far as Qiao Wugu she had seen, her facial features were actually a little similar to the old man.
It's just that if the daughter's face follows her mother's face, it is more difficult to distinguish the characteristics of the father.
Qiao's mother didn't say her guess, she said too much, and she was in a bad mood.
It doesn't matter what Qiao Wugu's life experience is, what matters is whether her current identity will have an impact on her family.
"On the winter solstice, I have already warned her through Abba, and she will know what to do if she is smart. ”
Father Qiao sneered.
How could Qiao's father not care about the seizure of the letter at the post office, in private, he asked someone to help check it, but it took a little time.
Qiao Wugu did work in the post office, and the letters that were withheld were her hands and feet.
It seems that she withheld the letter only to vent her frustration, but who knows what her true purpose is.
Qiao Wugu is now a city hukou, married to a city person, and has a very decent job, if she doesn't want to lose everything in front of her, she naturally doesn't dare to do anything else.
In the past few years, several families have gathered together for reunion dinners, but the children are not happy to eat and are not full.
Qiao's father thought about it and simply invited Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao to come to the house for dinner.
They can specially stew some soup for the two elderly people.
The two old people don't need to think about their grandchildren, they pick and choose.
However, the two old men and ladies did not get along harmoniously, and they sat at the dinner table like two strangers.
In this regard, Qiao's father didn't see it, and he really couldn't interfere in his father's affairs.
Qiao Jiayue's brother and sister had few opportunities to eat at the same table with Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao, and they were a little restrained at first.
However, compared to having a reunion dinner, they felt that it was better to invite Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao to dinner alone, and it was really happy not to have to eat other people's saliva.
Qiao's father made such a start, and the other sons had to do the same.
Aunt Qiao had the biggest opinion, and even came to Qiao's mother to borrow meat, and said that if they hadn't done this in the second room, she wouldn't have to toss this meal.
Aunt Qiao's two pigs were all sold, and the meat was given by Qiao's father, and then someone bought a little, and Aunt Qiao was very picky, so she was reluctant to cook it for Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao.
Qiao's mother directly refused, at the end of the year, no one ordered meat and vegetables, and Aunt Qiao's family was not bad, and it was almost not bad at all.
Aunt Qiao Liu complained a few words, to the effect that Qiao's mother was too stingy and too good at causing trouble.
However, as soon as she saw Qiao's father, she immediately ran away with her neck bent.
As for Aunt Qiao Qi, she was much more thoughtful than Aunt Qiao Liu, so she directly took a few pieces of meat and vegetables to Qiao's mother, and asked Qiao's mother to help cook them, saying that she wanted to take care of the children and was not available.
I didn't bring oil and salt or anything, so I thought about taking advantage of it.
Qiao's mother couldn't cry or laugh, so she directly asked Qiao Jiayue to show Aunt Qiao Qi the child to see what excuse she could find.
Qiao Jiayue has seen it very much, these aunts really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
Grandpa Qiao's five sons took turns to eat it, and they also touched something.
The most hearty and attentive meal is the second family, and the difference between the sons is actually not very important in the old man's heart.
Eating in turns like this, the old man himself felt like playing the autumn breeze, and he felt very uncomfortable, he decided that in the future, he would have a reunion dinner as before, and it was set for the second day of the Lunar New Year, just when Qiao Sigu's family came back.
When Qiao Jiayue's brothers and sisters heard the news, they were very upset, how could this be?
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, two more strings of firecrackers were fired in the brigade than last year, and the sound of crackling thunder was placed in the quiet mountain village, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.
Qiao Jiayue entered the system while lying on the bed and began to buy red envelopes and open red envelopes.
Red envelopes with different values will come out with different things.
This year, her luck seems to be good, she has opened two pens, a sewing machine, a black and white TV, and some trivial household items.
When she saw the TV, Qiao Jiayue almost didn't jump up, there was a TV to watch!
It's fun to listen to the radio, but it's not like TV.
Qiao Jiayue thought to herself, and she had studied TV and radio thoroughly, and when the reform and opening up came in the future, their family would be able to open a factory.
In Qiao Jiayue's view, the income from running a farm is actually not high, and she has to worry about it all year round, and she can't stop for a day.
And electronic products, which are rich in technology, can definitely get a lot of benefits.
Looking at the watches, radios, etc. in department stores, selling them at such a high price, and so many people saving money to buy them, it shows that the future is great.
Qiao Jiayue was thinking wildly, looking forward to the day of openness and freedom coming soon.
However, thinking about the more than ten years to go, I am too tired to do it.
The New Year's greetings are still the same, Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongyuan came back early, hiding in the basement, and studying separately.
Since Cai Ping left, their brother and sister finally didn't have to be sneaky in the basement, and they could go to class and discuss together again.
I have to say, this learning laptop is a really good thing, it has everything in it, almost all subjects.
But with so many subjects, there must be a choice.
Qiao Jiayue is more interested in chemistry and botany, and plans to further her studies in this area.
She felt that she had a talent in this configuration, so she naturally had to make good use of it, and the rest would be talked about later.
Needless to say, Qiao Hongliang has always been very clear about his goals.
But Qiao Hongyuan's learning is more miscellaneous, and they don't know how much he has learned and how much content he has mastered.
Qiao's father is busy, Qiao's mother also has her own business, and she asks about the child's learning progress every day, and they don't interfere too much.
Qiao Jiayue chatted with Qiao Hongyuan about this and asked him what direction he chose.
Qiao Hongyuan smiled, "It's not omnipotent, I also study selectively, mainly mathematics and physics, and the others are slightly involved." ”
For example, art, music, biology, etc., he gave up.
Qiao Jiayue didn't know about these, thinking that he had learned a lot.
"Yue'er, what good things did you get this time for the New Year?" Qiao Hongyuan asked with a smile.
"Ah, second brother, how do you see it?" Qiao Jiayue was surprised, she didn't say anything.
Qiao Hongyuan pointed at the corner of Qiao Jiayue's mouth, "You have been in a good mood." ”
"So obvious?" Qiao Jiayue puffed out her cheeks and leaned into Qiao Hongyuan's ear. "I drew a black and white TV. ”
Qiao Hongyuan narrowed his eyes, "Really?" In fact, laptops are even more magical, and TV is not very attractive to him.
"Really, but I can't see the TV when I take it out now. Qiao Jiayue said with some frustration.
It is estimated that there will be few televisions in the country.
