"Pack these materials up." Old Lady Qiao pointed to the stack of documents in his hand.

Qiao Du obediently walked over and started sorting out the documents.

Inevitably, his eyes will sweep to the words on the document, and when they are sorted out and put into the empty kraft bag, Qiao Dui's mind faintly appears in the name of a company that appears many times on the document: Cheng Hao.

It's familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen it.

Qiao Du looked up and found that Old Lady Qiao had a serious expression, so she went to the sofa and sat down: "Grandpa, what is the matter?" ”

Old Lady Qiao pondered for a moment, looked at the cowhide bag on the coffee table and said, "Grandpa helped you try Fu Jingchao before eating." He disagrees with your marriage on the grounds of your young age. ”

Qiao Dui: "......"

She couldn't figure out why the second elder was so anxious to let her get married, since she entered the door today, grandpa and grandma kept mentioning the word marriage, and now they are mentioning it again.

Big head!

Old Lady Qiao looked at Qiao Dui's dumb expression and said seriously, "Twilight, you tell Grandpa that you have to be him in this life?" ”

Qiao Dui's heart twisted, and she lowered her head and twisted her fingers: "Grandpa, don't force me, okay?" It's just a relationship, I don't think about it that much. ”

"That is, you are only in a relationship with him and do not want to get married?" Old lady Qiao confirmed again and again.

Qiao Du frowned, wringed his fingers harder, and nodded lightly.

"Why do you young people think this way now?" Old Lady Qiao was furious, "Twilight, you are a girl, you will suffer a lot." Listen to grandpa's words and quickly break off with him. ”

Grandpa rarely gets angry, and Qiao Du wants to soothe his emotions, "Grandpa, marriage is a matter of course, not to get married for the sake of getting married." ”

Old Lady Qiao exclaimed angrily: "Love that is not for the purpose of marriage is a hooligan!" ”

Qiao Du was also anxious, and couldn't help arguing: "Grandpa, I don't understand, why do you and grandma have to urge me to get married, Fu Jingchao is right, my life and career have just begun, and it is unfair to me to get married too early." ”

Old Lady Qiao stopped talking for a moment, and only said at the end: "You heard it all." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Du admits that she did hear their conversation in the study, and that she was afraid that her grandfather would continue to force her to get married, so she chose to knock on the door and interrupt their conversation under the pretext of eating.

"Open the second bag." Old Lady Qiao let out a long sigh and pointed to the cowhide bag on the coffee table and said.

The top bag was Cheng Hao's document bag that she organized, and she quickly found the second one, took it out and handed it to Mrs. Qiao, but Mrs. Qiao didn't answer, "You open it and take a look." ”

The bag was so light in my hand that I almost thought it was empty. Qiao Du pinched out a pan-old photo from inside, the corners were already hairy, and then took it to his hand to look at it, the photo was black and white, with two large and one small on it, standing in a regular manner.

Qiao Dui's attention quickly focused on the little child standing in the middle, this eyebrows, these facial features, this is ...... Joe a year.

Looking at the two adults next to her, the one on the left is a thin man, and she recognized this face at a glance as the same person as the photo of Qiao putting an incense burner at home every Qingming when she was a child, that is, her own grandfather.

"Grandpa, how do you have a picture of my dad and grandpa when they were young?" Qiao Duan asked excitedly, Qiao Nian and Su Xuan eloped despite the opposition of the family, and when she was three years old, Qiao Nian dared to go home quietly, but found that there was no one at home, and his father died in the second year of his elopement. Joe has been feeling guilty all year and thinks he is an unfilial son.

"Look at who is next to you?"

Qiao Du looked down and opened her mouth in surprise: "This is ...... This is grandpa you, how could you ...... How could I know them......"

She was adopted by Qiao Yuanjing and his wife, and she only regarded it as a coincidental surname, so to speak......

"Yes, we have known each other for a long time." Old Mrs. Qiao fell into contemplation and reminiscence of the past: "Not only do I know, but your grandfather and I have played since childhood. ”

What the?

Qiao Du was so surprised that she could barely hold the photo: "Grandpa, you ......"

"Because I have the same surname, I call you grandpa and brother, and I have always gotten along like brothers." Old Lady Qiao once again told the explosive truth: "Only me and your grandmother know about this matter, and neither of them knows about Yuan Jing." ”

"Why? Grandpa, why are you keeping it a secret? ”

"It all started decades ago." Old lady Qiao had an embarrassed wry smile on her face: "Just like Fu Jingchao said today, when I was young, I didn't have the right door with your grandmother, and my grandmother was four years older than me, at that time, your grandmother's family was good, and she was four years older than me, I fell in love with her at first sight, but she was opposed by her family, and your grandmother's parents gave me a sky-high dowry in order to make me feel difficult." I was empty-handed, and I couldn't afford the dowry. So I decided to take the plunge and go into the gambling business. It's also my luck, the first one pressed the right treasure, although the cut out of the color is not first-class, you can also have a sum of money, but for the dowry is still far behind. Seeing that the deadline given by your grandmother's parents was approaching, I found my eldest brother, your grandfather, in a hurry. At that time, your grandfather was farming in the countryside of Lingzhou, and he didn't know that his land was about to appreciate because a wharf was about to be built next to it. I got up with my brain, found a fake stone and told him that it was a fine jade, and wanted to exchange the land with him as a dowry for his daughter-in-law. Your grandfather had heard from his neighbors that I had won a sum of money gambling on stones, so he believed my words and quickly agreed to exchange them with me. I was afraid that he would regret it, so I deliberately got a contract, and after the exchange, I went to your grandmother's house to ask for a kiss without stopping......"

Speaking of this, Old Lady Qiao coughed. His face turned red.

Qiao Du hurriedly patted Old Lady Qiao on the back, and hurriedly poured a glass of water, Old Lady Qiao drank the water, her face was much better, she listened to this story attentively, and asked, "What happened later?" ”

Old lady Qiao was a little more angry, and continued: "Later, I married your grandmother as I wished, got married, became her family's fast son-in-law, and got a very considerable dowry. I used the money to start a jewelry business. Everyone knows the story in the future, my business is getting smoother and smoother, and your grandfather came to me once, but I chose to avoid it because of my weak heart, and let people blow him away. By the time I heard from him, it was too late...... Ahem......"

I don't know if it's because I'm too guilty, or if I'm not in good health, Old Lady Qiao coughed again, this time I coughed for a long time, Qiao Du gave him relief, and it didn't help to feed him water.

More than ten minutes later. Old lady Qiao finally stopped coughing, panting and leaning in the Taishi chair, Qiao Du was worried, and her little hands kept giving the old man a sigh: "Grandpa, why are you in such bad health?" Have you ever seen a doctor? ”

"You don't want to ...... Do you know what's going on? Old lady Qiao said weakly.

"Grandpa, those are all in the past, don't be too psychologically burdened, even if you do something wrong, no one will blame you." Qiao Dui's reaction was very calm, which of the TV series she has filmed over the years is not a plot twist and turn, and she has roughly guessed what is below.

"Child, thank you for saying that, but grandpa was such a bastard back then, and the business has been getting bigger and bigger over the years, but I always have a pimple in my heart." Old lady Qiao took Qiao Dui's hand, her heart was heavy, and she stubbornly continued: "Your grandfather took the fake jade I gave him to ask someone to cut it, and when he opened it, he found that he was fooled, he looked for me and I refused to see him, at that time he lost his land, had no source of income, and the whole family fell into famine. His daughter-in-law, that is, your own grandmother, was pregnant and was so angry that she gave birth prematurely, and all the adults and children died. I know when I rush over. Your grandfather kicked me out and moved that night, taking your father with me and never being seen. At this, he choked up.

Qiao Du looked at Old Lady Qiao's expression full of self-blame, and felt uncomfortable: "Grandpa." Stop it. ”

Old lady Qiao didn't speak for a long time, he pointed to the third cowhide bag on the coffee table and said: "Child, this is that land, I haven't touched it again all these years, I want to take it as your dowry, and return it to your Qiao family, but also a matter of my heart for many years." ”

Qiao Du looked at the bottom bag in a daze, pursed her lips and remained motionless, and said for a long time: "Grandpa, then what does this have to do with you urging me to get married?" Can't it be a few years later? ”

Old Lady Qiao shook her head and sighed: "No, I don't have much time." ”

"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense." Qiao Du didn't want to look at the contents of the bag, she looked at Old Lady Qiao nervously: "You are very strong, you will live a hundred years." ”

"Silly boy, how can people be immortal?" Old lady Qiao looked away: "Twilight, you are the only bloodline in my eldest brother's family, grandpa hopes to see you get married in his lifetime, and when I see your grandfather underground, I have an explanation." ”

Old lady Qiao was talking about death repeatedly, and Qiao Du listened harshly, and had an ominous premonition: "Grandpa......"

"Old Joe, it's time to take medicine." Old Madam Qiao suddenly came in from outside the door.

Qiao Du looked at the old lady Qiao pouring a handful of medicine into his mouth, and asked in horror, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Why do you have to take so many pills? ”

Old Madam Qiao's face was full of sorrow: "Child, your grandfather is really running out of time, and the doctor will explain it when he comes back from Canada this time, at most...... Trimester. ”

"How so?" Qiao Du was startled, and Huo Ran stood up: "What is Grandpa's disease?" ”

"Advanced liver cancer." Old Madam Qiao finished whimpering, turned her back and wiped her tears: "...... The best doctors abroad can't help it. ”

Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao have never quarreled in the past few decades, and their love is as good as ever, but Mrs. Qiao suddenly had an abnormality, and the most anxious and sad thing was Mrs. Qiao.

Qiao Dui's eyes were moist, and she couldn't believe it: "No...... No......"

She just got together with her grandfather, and she enjoyed the warm family affection that she had not seen for a long time, why did God be so cruel and take away what she got......
