When Qiao Chengyin's three brothers were born, Qiao Baisheng was full of ambition to be a Xiucai master, and he was also very concerned about naming his son, thinking that he could have anything after becoming a Xiucai master, and he shook his head and named his three sons "Chengjin, Chengyin, and Chengcai".

But year after year, Qiao Baisheng's Xiucai dream was shattered as he grew older, and it was his decadent period to name his grandson, so he had names such as stones, hammers, wood, pillars, and bolts.

In the generation of Tiaohua, when Qiao Yuanyang was born, Qiao Baisheng had spent a decadent period and was already disheartened about the examination of Xiucai, so he cleaned up his mood and began to help people write family letters, couplets, and take names or something, and after coming and going, he felt that he could give a good name to the children and grandchildren of other families, so why not give a good name to the great-grandchildren of the family? No matter how hard he works, he may be able to raise a real talent to fulfill his lifelong dream.

In fact, where do the countrymen know whether they are rustic or elegant, Qiao Chengyin himself thinks that stones and hammers are better than the ocean and the sea, at least he knows what it is like in front of him, and no one in the whole Lijia Village can say what the sea and the ocean are.

Qiao Yuanhai saw his grandfather leading his father and eldest brother into the village from a distance, raised his legs, and simply stopped on the side of the road, waiting for the three of them to approach.

The men of the Qiao family, except for the father of the flowers, are all tall and dark-faced; Qiao Chengyin, who approached from a distance, was dressed almost the same short jacket and trousers, and the waist and trousers were tightly tied.

"Alas!" Qiao Chengyin looked back at the wheat seedlings trembling in the cold wind on the mountain, and then tiptoed to look at the cauliflower in the fertile fields on the other side of the river, and sighed heavily.

"Master, don't worry too much." Qiao Yuanyang carried two hoes on his shoulders, and he was also panicked, the weather was hot at the beginning of the first month of this year and was almost as hot as in March and April of previous years, seeing that the cabbage that bloomed in March was rushed to the end of the first month, and he was worried that the winter wheat had not undergone frost and was afraid that the harvest would not be good, who knew that the weather suddenly turned cold again a few days ago, and there was no difference from the cold winter wax moon.

Qiao Chengyin's hands were in his sleeves, and his brows were always furrowed, "This year, don't let our crops live?" ”

"It's just that this day this year is too weird. What do we often say? 'There must be a demon when abnormality', is there going to be a monster? "Qiao Shishi, as the grandson of Qiao's family, used to have high hopes for Qiao Baisheng, but his qualifications are really dull, and over the years, he only remembers the few words that Qiao Baisheng often put on his lips.

"What nonsense?" Qiao Chengyin turned around and gave Qiao Shishi a cigarette gang, looked left and right at no one nearby, and then shouted with a calm face: "I only know that 'there must be demons when abnormality', don't you know how powerful the demons are to confuse the public?" Don't talk about these useless things. ”

Qiao Yuanyang pretended not to see his father's embarrassment, looked ahead without squinting, and happened to see Qiao Yuanhai squatting at the gate of Qiao's compound: "Haizi, why did you come out?" ”

Qiao Yuanhai opened his mouth and almost said what Gan had said about mixing sand in Qiao Baisheng's eyes this morning, but fortunately, at the end of the day, he remembered that Gan was his sister-in-law after all, and if he was cleaned up, his brother's face would not look good, so he temporarily changed his words: "The second aunt is cooking, and seeing that the master has not returned, my grandmother asked me to come out and take a look." ”

Qiao Chengyin and Qiao Shishi are both capable people, and they have always looked down on lazy juniors like Qiao Yuanhai, but Qiao Yuanhai's face is not thin, and he only doesn't know about the dislike of his family, and he won't take the initiative to do things until he has to. Like this morning, there was obviously no work in the fields, and he would never get up and follow him up the mountain in the cold.

Seeing Qiao Chengyin's face stretched a little longer, Qiao Shishi couldn't help but glared at Qiao Yuanhai with hatred: "Now that I see your master, you can continue to go back to sleep and don't eat breakfast." ”

"Master, what are you doing in the field this weather? Don't freeze that you're getting old. Qiao Yuanhai just didn't hear his father's lesson, and explained to Qiao Chengyin dispensably: "Didn't you say that you would wait for the second and third uncles to come back before going to the ground?" Besides, no one called me when you went out today, how do I know that you are on the ground? ”

Qiao Shishi snorted, there was a little noise when he went out to get a hoe in the yard this morning, and the child in Yuanyang immediately got up in his clothes, Yuanhai looked like this, even if the family really entered the thief, he probably didn't pretend not to hear, not to mention that he still went up the mountain to do work! Just as he wanted to scold him a few more words, Qiao Chengyin had already eased his face: "If you don't want to do the work in the field, go to the town with your second uncle to do part-time work, and don't pretend here." "The old man is always strict with his son and relaxed with his grandchildren.

Qiao Yuanhai knew that this level was over, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and deliberately touched Qiao Yuanyang at the back, who knew that Qiao Yuanyang was a lump of wood, and turned his head directly in confusion and asked him: "Haizi, what are you pulling me for?" ”

As soon as he spoke, Qiao Chengyin and Qiao Shishi in front of him also turned around together, where did Qiao Yuanhai dare to talk to him about the Gan family, and only hoped that when he went home later, his grandfather's temper would be almost eliminated.

As soon as the four of them entered the courtyard gate, they saw Qiao Baisheng beckoning Qiao Yuanfen with a stick, even if Da Luo's quick step blocked, a red mark appeared on Qiao Yuanfen's face; Before he got closer, he heard the big Luo ghost crying wolf howling and begging Qiao Baisheng not to sell Qiao Yuanfen.

Qiao Chengyin, who had just experienced selling his granddaughter and being pointed at when he went out, hurriedly walked three or two steps to the front: "Dad, you are old and discouraged, Aunt Wang, who was a matchmaker for Yuanfang a few days ago, also said that after the second day of February, she would come to the house to give Yuanhong and Yuanfen a mouthful, don't let people look at her with injuries on her face." ”

Maybe Yuanfang and Yuanfen are like mustard in Qiao Baisheng's eyes, and they can be thrown away at any time, but the meaning of Qiao Chengyin's words is to say goodbye to Qiao Yuanhong, Qiao Yuanhong is the eldest son of the Luo family, and he is twenty years old this year, if he doesn't say goodbye, it will be too late. Although Qiao Yuanhong is not at home now, he still has a little weight in Qiao Baisheng's heart because of his sweet mouth and clever nature.

Saying this, Qiao Baisheng put down the crutches in his hand stupidly, turned around and pulled Yuangen, who was a little frightened, in front of him, and asked, "Cheng Yin, this child is the only son of wood, right?" Why didn't you come to the room to give me the exam? ”

Luo took the opportunity to pull Qiao Yuanfen up: "Child, my father, I'll bring you breakfast." After speaking, he glanced at the flower with satisfaction, "The flower also quickly helped to fetch water for your grandfather and uncles." ”

The reason why Luohua mentioned Luo was not because she was kind, but because of the situation, I don't know what kind of character Gu Banniang, the stepmother who relied on selling chrysanthemums to exchange for home, was a woman, and she had to rely on Luo for the time being in this family.
