"Hey, Eribati? O lovely sister, your dear big brother I'm back! ”

With the sudden opening of the door, Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, who were sitting at the dining table doing their homework, were stunned, and looked at Cao Zhiqiang at the door in a daze.

But soon, Qiao Simei was the first to react, threw the pencil directly, stood up in surprise and said, "Brother Cao, is it really you?" You're back? ”

"yes, yes." Cao Zhiqiang walked in with a smile and a bag on his back, then threw the bag to the ground casually, pinched his waist with both hands, and looked up and smiled, "It's not me, who else can it be?" Hahaha! ”

Cao Lili shook her head: "It's confirmed, it's my stupid brother." ”

Cao Zhiqiang lowered his head at this time, and glanced at Cao Lili angrily: "What are you talking about, I have nothing to do with stupid words." ”

Cao Lili learned from Cao Zhiqiang and shrugged her shoulders slightly: "Hmph, I think you are stupid enough now." ”

"Cut!" Cao Zhiqiang pouted, "I don't understand, I'm calling it funny, not stupid, these are two different things!" ”

Cao Lili no longer quarreled with Cao Zhiqiang: "You must be very tired when you come back so late, right?" It's hard for you to tease us like this. Have you eaten? Do you want me to give it to you? ”

Cao Zhiqiang picked his eyelids, and then shook his head with a smile: "No, no, I came back after dinner on the way, don't worry about me." ”

Well, Cao Zhiqiang did come back after dinner, and at this point, he didn't lie.

In fact, after Cao Zhiqiang took Qinghong back to the capital, he first went to arrange hotel accommodation for Qinghong, and then went to Houhai to buy a set of courtyard houses along the lake.

Early the next morning, Cao Zhiqiang took Qinghong to see the courtyard, and then went to walk around the street all morning.

During this period, Cao Zhiqiang not only bought a lot of clothes and cosmetics for Qinghong, but also bought a lot of household necessities, such as bed sheets, bedding, basins, thermoses and so on.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang also bought two second-hand bicycles, one for himself and one for Qinghong.

As for why not buy a new one, of course, it is a new bike ticket, and a second-hand one is not.

After the two of them each rode a bicycle, brought their newly bought things, and moved into the courtyard house that Cao Zhiqiang bought together, Cao Zhiqiang took Qinghong to walk around the neighborhood a few times, so that Qinghong could familiarize himself with the surrounding environment of the house as soon as possible.

After Qinghong became a little familiar with the new house and had an understanding of the surrounding environment, Cao Zhiqiang and Qinghong worked together to cook in the new courtyard and made a simple dinner.

After having dinner with Qinghong in the new courtyard and instructing her again, Cao Zhiqiang rode a newly bought second-hand bicycle and returned home leisurely.

Of course, this home is not the original old courtyard house, but the new house he specially rented for Cao Lili, that is, the teacher's building inside the primary school.

Well, it can be seen that Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to tell Cao Lili about Qinghong for the time being.

It's not why, it's just that Cao Zhiqiang instinctively feels that it's better not to tell Cao Lili about this kind of thing, and it is a while to be able to hide it.

That is to say, Cao Zhiqiang actually came back a long time ago, but at the beginning he was busy serving Qinghong, so he didn't come back to report to his sister as soon as possible.

Now that he's back, of course he has to act like he just came back.

This is called white lies, an essential skill for a mature man.

"Brother Cao." Qiao Simei, who had no heart and no lungs, had already come over at this time, "You have been in the south for so long, have you brought me a gift?" ”

"Simei!" Cao Lili immediately frowned, "What do you say?" Brother went to the south to do business, not to bring you gifts! ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I brought gifts, but as your sister said, I went to do business this time, and I rarely had time to go shopping, so I didn't bring many gifts." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang squatted down, unzipped the canvas bag, and took the contents out little by little.

"Actually, I went in a hurry this time, and I didn't go around, just the gifts I gave by plane, such as folding fans, combs, Miao embroidered handkerchiefs, and chewing gum or something...... By the way, there's also this thing, this thing you might like - Qingyan Rose Candy! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang took out a carton tied with a paper rope: "Then, this is Qingyan rose candy, a local specialty, it is said to taste good, go and try it." ”

Well, because Cao Zhiqiang eloped back with Qinghong in advance, he really didn't have much time to look for local souvenirs.

This Qingyan rose candy is still a local product that Cao Zhiqiang bought in the small shop there when he lived in the third guest house in the provincial capital of Guiyang.

Qiao Simei didn't care about that, when she saw Cao Zhiqiang take out the gift, she immediately took the box of Qingyan rose candy with a smile, and then nodded to Cao Zhiqiang with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Cao!" I know that you are good to me, you can rest assured, when I grow up, I will also be good to you. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Okay, as you say, go." ”

Qiao Simei took the rose candy away and put it on the dining table to unpack it.

Cao Lili didn't pay attention to Qiao Simei, but walked up to Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Brother, is this journey going well?"

Have you seen the eldest sister and them?

How is their family doing?

By the way, why didn't I come back with you this time?

Didn't you say you were going to bring the family back? ”

Cao Zhiqiang slowly stood up, stretched his waist and said: "Oh, my good sister, you have a lot of questions, I just came back from afar, you always have to let me drink saliva and take a breath." ”

"Simei!" Cao Lili suddenly turned her head, "Go, pour a glass of water for my brother!" ”

"Oh!" Qiao Simei agreed, immediately put down the rose candy, and ran to pour water.

It can be seen that although Qiao Simei usually looks out of tune, once she faces Cao Zhiqiang's matter, or her sister's order, she is still very attentive and obedient.

After Cao Zhiqiang sat down at the table and drank two sips of the warm boiled water poured by Qiao Simei, he nodded and said, "It's a long story, to put it simply, everything is going well." ”

Next, Cao Zhiqiang began to make a long story short, and told his situation in Qianzhou concisely and selectively.

Like Cao Zhiqiang and Qinghong, of course, there is no need to say it, at least for the time being.

Cao Zhiqiang briefly talked about the situation of his sister's family, and emphasized that it was inconvenient for him to stay there, so he came back first.

When the eldest sister's family completes all the formalities, they will come back by themselves, and once they return to Beiping, they will naturally come here, so don't worry about them.

"So, don't worry about them, everything is going well." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Cao Lili nodded: "That's fine, but if the eldest sister comes, will they live with us?" ”

"Of course not." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "The eldest sister has already married and has her own husband and children, so it is not suitable to live with us."

But you don't have to worry about accommodation, I will help my sister rent a house nearby in advance and let them settle down. ”

"Brother Cao." Qiao Simei said at this time, "You are so rich, why don't you just buy a house for your eldest sister to live in, why do you still want to rent a house?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Simei, the matter here is very complicated, in short, you are still young, and when you grow up in the future, you will understand me." ”

Yes, Cao Zhiqiang's meaning is to rent a house for his sister to live in, and Cao Zhiqiang will pay the rent at first, and when his sister settles down and has an income, they will rent it at their own expense.

In the future, if their family's income is higher, you can also remind them to buy a house early.

However, it would be inappropriate to ask Cao Zhiqiang to buy a house for them to live in, and it would be easy to cause conflicts.

Adults understand the Tao here, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want to make trouble with his sister's family for the house in the end.

To put it bluntly, Cao Zhiqiang took Cao Jiajia's family back to Beiping, just out of a kind of retribution, after all, he is a traverser, occupying other people's bodies, and he must always take on the responsibility of his predecessor.

occupies other people's bodies, but does not bear any responsibility, that is too scummy, Cao Zhiqiang's conscience can't get over.

However, repaying the favor is not the same as being stupid.

gave my sister 1,000 yuan, and helped my sister get a job in Beiping and arrange jobs for them, which has been benevolent and righteous.

If you even give a house......

Cao Zhiqiang still understands the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mi Hatred.

"According to that, when the time comes, the eldest sister and their family will come over by themselves?" Cao Lili said at this time, "Then, won't you live with us?" ”

"Yes, that's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"Thankfully, fortunately." Qiao Simei said suddenly.

"Thankful for what?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"It's a good thing that your eldest sister didn't come." Qiao Simei said seriously, "If they come, won't I just stand aside and have no place to live?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Simei looked at Cao Lili: "And sister, you don't seem to know them well, if they are here, it will be difficult for my sister to deal with herself, right?" ”

"What nonsense?" Cao Lili frowned, "Simei, what can you say about the eldest sister?" Hurry up and apologize to my brother! ”

"What I'm saying is the truth." Qiao Simei pouted, "We used to live well, but suddenly a bunch of strangers came, it was very uncomfortable." ”

"You're itchy again, aren't you?" Cao Lili was stunned.

"Alright, okay, forget it." Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly stopped Cao Lili.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Qiao Simei, who was pouting and unconvinced, and then looked at Cao Lili, who didn't speak, and then suddenly shook his head with a smile.

"Oh, what should I do, so seriously.

Don't worry, although the eldest sister and I are the same mother, after all, she is already married.

As the saying goes, the woman who marries out spills the water.

Even if the eldest sister is related to me by blood, she is now someone's daughter-in-law after all, strictly speaking, she is already a member of the Xia family, and she cannot be counted as a member of my Cao family.

From this point of view, even if they do come here, they will not like to live with us, which will make them feel like they are under the fence, and it will be all kinds of inconvenience. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed, and then continued: "To tell the truth, after I went to the south to meet my sister this time, I found that I no longer have any common language with that sister, and there is a big gap between the two sides in all aspects.

If it weren't for the fact that my brother-in-law was really sick, it would be difficult to cure over there, and my sister's family had a hard time, I looked pitiful, plus we were sisters and brothers after all, and we were related by blood, they really wanted to go back to the capital, and if I had the ability to help, I didn't want to bring them back.

All in all, I went to visit my relatives this time, and it was only because I was not short of money and had the ability that I wanted to do something for my dead parents.

After all, before my mother died, she kept talking about her sister, but she didn't see her face until she died, which was a pity.

What about my sister and brother-in-law, it's very difficult over there, and they all want to come back, as my own brother, since I have the ability to help, there's no reason not to help, right?

But even so, as I said before, even if my sister's family really comes to the capital, we can only be regarded as relatives, and in terms of kinship, my relationship with my sister is far inferior to my relationship with the two of you.

In the future, even if they come to the capital, at most they will come to visit each other, and the two families will walk around each other, but they will not be able to live with us all day.

Not to mention that it is inconvenient for us, they will also feel very awkward.

After all, it's already two families, don't you say? ”

Cao Lili smiled slightly: "Okay brother, don't talk about that, we all understand." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Lili turned her head to look at Qiao Simei: "Simei, what the eldest brother said just now, you'd better give me a rotten stomach, don't say it, no one is allowed to say it!"

Especially after the eldest sister's family came, you are absolutely not allowed to tell what you heard to their family, not at all, or I will roll out the pin and wait, do you hear? ”

Qiao Simei subconsciously shuddered, and then hurriedly ran behind Cao Zhiqiang, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Cao, you have to call the shots for me, when you are not there, my sister always beats me, and she beats me for a little thing, and with such a thick rolling pin, it hurts!"

I didn't lie to you, you see, my ass is still red. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Simei turned around and wanted to take off her pants to show Cao Zhiqiang.

"Don't, don't!" Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly pressed Qiao Simei's hand, "You don't have to look at it, I believe you, I definitely believe you." ”

"That's good!" Qiao Simei immediately said, "Brother Cao, since you believe me, then you tell my sister now, and she is not allowed to beat me in the future!" Also, you have to help me beat her, you have to beat me back, and you have to avenge me! ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly: "Simei, my brother can't do your request!" ”

"How could it not be done?" Qiao Simei frowned and said, "You are so big, my sister is so small, don't you beat her like playing?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang explained with a smile: "Simei, you have also been here for a while, then you should know that in this family, your sister has the final say on everything at home."

Especially when it comes to your education, even I have to listen to her, so it's useless for you to sue me.

Besides, I understand Lili, I have always been reasonable, and I will not beat people indiscriminately.

Since she hit you, you must have done something wrong, don't you just make a mistake next time? ”

Qiao Simei frowned, looked at Cao Zhiqiang very dissatisfied, and said, "Brother Cao, you can't be so partial!"

Don't forget, my sister is just your sister, and I will be your daughter-in-law in the future!

According to what you just said, my sister will get married sooner or later, and we are the real family!

Anyway, I don't care, I can't be angry now, you have to avenge me! ”

"Oops!" Cao Zhiqiang stood up suddenly and interrupted Qiao Simei's coquettish complaint, "Speaking of which, I'm really tired all the way, I'll go wash and sleep first, I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

As for the conflict between the two of you, it's better to solve it internally.

Sisters, how can there be an overnight feud?

I'm a big man, so I won't get involved.

Okay, that's all! ”

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang ran to the bathroom.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang suddenly running away, Qiao Simei hurriedly shouted: "Brother Cao, don't run, you have to call the shots for me." ”

"Stop shouting, it's useless." Cao Lili clasped her arms with her hands and stared at Qiao Simei with slanted eyes, "You have a long ability, will you sue?" It seems that the last beating was still light.

You stand here, don't go away, I'll go get a rolling pin, and I'll talk to you about it. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Lili put down her arms and walked to the kitchen.

"Don't, don't, sister." Qiao Simei smiled and kept retreating, "I, I, I just kidding!" ”

After speaking, Qiao Simei suddenly shouted "ah", and immediately ran to her bedroom.

ran back to her room, Qiao Simei slammed the door shut, and also locked the door.

Seeing Qiao Simei running back to her room, Cao Lili stopped, looked at the door of Qiao Simei's room and shook her head: "What a child." ”

After reading this sentence, Cao Lili looked at the bathroom door where Cao Zhiqiang was again, suddenly smiled sweetly, and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Thank you, brother!" ”
