Qiao Jiayue looked at the house in front of her, isn't this Grandpa Lan's house? What does Qiao Hongzhi mean by bringing himself here?

She wondered in her heart, Qiao Hongzhi had already stepped forward, "Grandpa Lan, Xiaobin, are you there?"

Grandpa Lan came out of the back of the house with a bamboo basket, and when he saw that it was Qiao Hongzhi and his siblings, he showed a light smile, "It's you, Xiaobin went to work, you can come back later." ”

He is a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, he has a subsidy, and the brigade takes care of him, but they don't do nothing.

Grandpa Lan has a hand in bamboo weaving, Lan Xiangbin doesn't look young, and he is very neat in his work.

"That's right, Grandpa Lan, I want to ask Xiaobin to borrow the villain book, just read it here, don't take it away. Qiao Hongzhi stepped forward and diligently helped Grandpa Lan with bamboo strips, knives and other things.

"All right, come in. Grandpa Lan walked into the house and took out a stack of villain books, "You read slowly, if you want to drink water, pour it yourself, you're welcome." ”

Qiao Hongzhi put the villain book in front of Qiao Jiayue, "Yue'er, look at it, it's wonderful, you will forget all the unhappy things." ”

As he spoke, he ran out to talk to Grandpa Lan, pestering the old man to teach another set of boxing techniques.

Qiao Jiayue looked down at the villain book in front of her, it was obviously not complete, but it was well preserved, don't look at the yellowing and old paper, and you can hardly see the damage.

She saw her own comic book inside, it turned out that Qiao Hongliang was the sweet potato that he exchanged with Lan Xiangbin?

It's no wonder that Qiao Hongmu didn't make trouble later, he didn't dare to go to the Lan family to make trouble at all.

In fact, Qiao Jiayue is not interested in villain books, but Qiao Hongzhi's mind cannot be wasted.

She opened the villain book and was surprised to find that there were more or less written things in the blank space on the edge of the villain book.

She took a closer look, and it turned out to be an analysis of the psychology of the characters' actions and words, the brushstrokes were immature, and some of the views were strange.

This Lan Xiangbin is not a few years older than herself, right? Qiao Jiayue was secretly speechless, why didn't she find that there were so many smart people around her before?

Qiao Jiayue flipped through it, put down the villain book, and always felt that she had discovered other people's secrets, and she was a little weak-hearted.

She walked out of the door and saw Qiao Hongzhi playing a set of punches, quite imposing, Grandpa Lan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, yes, he is a good seedling, he must be a soldier king in the future." ”

When Qiao Jiayue heard this, her face couldn't help but change, she didn't want any of her three brothers to become a soldier, maybe being a soldier was the best way out in this era, but the danger was too great.

Don't look at the fact that there is no war now, in fact, there are not many sneak attacks and counterattacks on the border, not to mention the self-defense and counterattack wars in the future, and the price paid is very large.

Qiao Hongzhi saw that Grandpa Lan still didn't teach him new boxing techniques, so he brought a bowl of water to the old man with some frustration, did some chores, and took his sister home.

"Big brother, do you want to be a soldier?" On the way, Qiao Jiayue asked in a muffled voice.

"I don't want to, I heard that the discipline in the army is very strict, and many things can't be done, I can't stand it. Qiao Hongzhi shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"Then why are you pestering Grandpa Lan to teach you boxing?" Qiao Jiayue wondered in her heart, could it be that the eldest brother just worships characters like Sun Wukong and Daxia?

"Because I want to be stronger so I can protect you. Qiao Hongzhi thought very simply.

Qiao Jiayue pursed her mouth, she didn't know what to say, her heart was a little sour, did she think too much about the future of her three brothers?

"Where did you take Yue'er? I think she's in a worse mood. Qiao Hongyuan pulled Qiao Hongzhi aside and asked with a straight face.

Qiao Hongzhi glanced at Qiao Hongyuan, inexplicably a little weak-hearted, obviously he is the eldest brother, right?

"No, I just took her to Grandpa Lan's house to read villain books, doesn't she like villain books?" Qiao Hongzhi didn't take the conversation between the two to heart.

Qiao Hongyuan glanced at Qiao Hongzhi, "Are you sure?"

"Really, really. Qiao Hongzhi nodded like pounding garlic.

"Big brother, you're not too young, others are as old as you and they're busy every day, I think you need to find something to do. ”

Listening to Qiao Hongyuan's old-fashioned words, Qiao Hongzhi was stunned, "What to do?"

"Earn a job, I'll tell Abba. Qiao Hongyuan said, hooking the corners of his mouth, "I just earned thirty points, and at the end of the year, I can exchange two more pieces of meat for Yue'er, what about you?"

Qiao Hongzhi was dumbfounded, what? When did this second brother earn so much work?

Qiao Hongyuan ignored Qiao Hongzhi, went straight to Qiao Jiayue, and asked straight to the point: "Yue'er, are you worrying about something?"

"No, I'm just worried about the fourth aunt. Qiao Jiayue didn't say all the thoughts in her heart.

Qiao Hongyuan began to think about Qiao Jiayue's affairs for a while, and wanted to find some clues from it, but she had no clue, her troubles were really like this?

"Yue'er, this is for you. Qiao Hongliang didn't know where he came back, with grass clippings on his head, he pinched a yellowed piece of paper and handed it to Qiao Jiayue.

"Thank you, third brother. Qiao Jiayue took the piece of paper and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the painting on it.

It's a lifelike black-and-white painting of himself sitting on a stone, looking up into the distance, with a bright smile on his lips and a blooming azalea behind him.

"Xiaoliang is getting better and better, Yue'er, look at how happy you smile, we all hope you will always be like this. Qiao Hongyuan touched Qiao Hongliang's head.

He sees the changes in his sister, but he hopes that she can always be happy.

Yue'er smiled beautifully. Qiao Hongliang said softly.

"Thank you, second brother, third brother. Qiao Jiayue hugged her two brothers and held back the tears in her eyes.

People are reborn, but in this heart, just like in their previous lives, they will always think about what they don't have.

Uncle Qiao Qi came back on the eighth day of the first month, saying that Qiao Sigu gave birth to a pair of twin sons on the seventh night of the first month, and the mother and son were safe, and they had returned to the Changshan brigade.

Uncle Qiao, Third Uncle Qiao, Sixth Uncle Qiao, and Seventh Uncle Qiao all prepared things, not much, only occupying a corner of the basket, and the rest had to be filled by Father Qiao.

They had long heard that Qiao's father and his wife had exchanged a lot of eggs for labor, so there was not a single egg in the things sent.

Father Qiao glanced at it and sighed, he couldn't say that he was happy or sad, and the same was true for other families, and they were not the only exceptions.

The days are too hard, there is no surplus, and I live on that little work all year round, how can I have anything else to do?

Qiao Jiayue watched Qiao's mother put a layer of hay at the bottom of the basket, and then put in eggs and other things, she hesitated and asked, "Auntie, do we still have a fifth aunt?"

Grandpa Qiao gave birth to seven children, and they all fed him, this Qiao Fourth Aunt married in the next village, but Qiao Fifth Aunt, Qiao Jiayue was not impressed at all.

Qiao's mother was stunned, lowered her voice and said, "Don't pretend to your fifth aunt in front of your grandfather in the future." ”

"Huh?" Qiao Jiayue was confused, what's the matter?

"Your fifth aunt is your grandfather's favorite daughter, and she finished junior high school, married into the city despite your grandfather's opposition, and later went to work as a laborer in her husband's family, and now she doesn't know where she is. ”

For this little girl, Qiao's mother has an impression, she is pretty, she can speak, but she has a high heart and wants to be a city person.
