Qiao Maosheng came back with his younger brother Qiao Maoshu and called twice, but he didn't see his father come out.

He pulled the shopkeeper who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Ah Zheng, where is my father?" ”

Ah Zheng gave Qiao Maosheng a look: "Shh, big shopkeeper, you be quiet, the old shopkeeper and the inner shopkeeper are upstairs, the second lady seems to have been wronged outside today, and she is asking her!" ”

Qiao Maosheng and Qiao Maoshu's faces sank, and Qiao Maosheng asked, "What can she do?" She has such a strong temperament, who dares to give her anger? ”

Ah Zheng said in a low voice: "I don't know, the second miss was carried back to the store wet and dazed, lying on the bed without saying a word, and people couldn't wake up, but the doctor saw it, and it was okay, saying that the second miss was in a hurry, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and she didn't want to open her eyes, and the doctor left without even prescribing medicine." ”

Qiao Maoshu asked curiously: "Little sister, what's wrong?" ”

Qiao Maosheng shook his head: "Let's go, let's go up and have a look." ”

With that, the two went upstairs.

"Paint, you came back wet and wet, did you encounter anything bad outside?" Qiao Xiangmin's wife, Zhang Meiyan, asked softly.

Qiao Xiangmin sat on a stool not far away, staring at the mother and daughter with a dark face.

"Don't ask her again, you said her, why do you have to go to the Chijia Restaurant, what kind of system does it become to stay at home all day long at a young age?" Qiao Xiangmin scolded.

Qiao Shuhua is the proud daughter of the old couple, among the ladies in the county, she is a leader, whether it is piano or calligraphy and painting, quite some achievements, but the heart is high, and after two months, there are a lot of matchmakers, but she is unwilling, and runs to the Chijia restaurant all day long.

"Draw, open your eyes to see your father and mother, and tell your father and mother what happened to you outside!" Zhang Meiyan asked again.

"Daddy!" Qiao Maosheng knocked on the door and entered the wing.

Qiao Xiangmin looked back at Qiao Maosheng with a dark face: "Where did you go again this morning?" You don't care about the things in the store, the business is getting worse day by day, don't hurry up and think of a way, you know to wander outside! ”

Qiao Maosheng was not angry, but smiled.

"Dad, who do you think is back?" Qiao Maosheng smiled and pulled Qiao Maoshu behind him over: "Dad, Maoshu is back, he has a regular vacation in the academy today, come back to see us!" ”

As soon as they heard Qiao Maoshu, Qiao Xiangmin and Zhang Meiyan were overjoyed, and the other people in the room immediately left them behind, and even Qiao Shuhua on the bed opened their eyes.

If Qiao Shuhua is the pride of the second elder, then Qiao Maoshu is the lifeblood and hope of the second elder.

"Maoshu is back, come and take a look at my mother!" Zhang Meiyan smiled and stepped forward to grab Qiao Maoshu: "Oh, my son, I haven't seen you for a while, and I've grown taller again, let my mother see if she's lost weight?" ”

Qiao Xiangmin looked at his excellent son, happy from the bottom of his heart, the eldest Qiao Maosheng was only admitted to Tongsheng for a lifetime, and the second son was only admitted to Tongsheng at the age of twenty-five, and the two had no fun in reading since then, so they simply gave up studying and helped him in the inn.

And his youngest son Qiao Maoshu is only sixteen years old, he is already a child, and he is going to take the Xiucai exam this year, and the academician said that he doesn't have to worry about the Xiucai exam, and next year will be a triennial lift, which is what he should worry about.

The academicians said that his youngest son, Qiao Maoshu, was born to read, and if he was in the autumn and passed the exam, he was expected to go to Beijing to take the examination in three years.

He's only sixteen!

Qiao Maoshu, who had high hopes, lived in the academy almost every day, and Qiao Xiangmin regarded him as the palm of his hand.

When he came back from regular vacation today, he should have taken this month's monthly money, and he had already prepared it for him.

"The students in the academy work very hard every day, and when you come back, you work one day less than others, and there is nothing to do at home, what do you say you are doing when you come back? If there is anything missing in the academy, let your eldest brother send it to you, so as not to delay the teacher's homework. Qiao Xiangmin said distressedly.

After speaking, he looked at Qiao Maoshu again, dressed in a green shirt and white clothes, with a blue hairband on his head, and his demeanor was bookish.

"Dad, mother, the child has not seen him for many days, he misses it very much, he came back to do his filial piety, dad don't worry about his homework, he studies hard every day until late at night, and he will not be caught up!"

"Daddy, don't stand and talk, sit, sit down and talk!" Qiao Maosheng beckoned the three of them to sit down.

"Okay, Maoshu has worked hard to come back from the academy, sit down!" Qiao Xiangmin said with a smile.

Qiao Shuqi stood in front of Qiao Maoshu and shouted: "Third brother! ”

Qiao Maoshu smiled and touched her head.

The whole family laughed!

Qiao Maosheng smiled when he saw his father, how many days, he finally saw his father smile, because he went to Yaoshan Village last time, not only did he not get the dogwood noodles, but he was also driven out by Xiao Fatzi, and was laughed at by the people of Laiyue Inn and Jiaojia Restaurant, seeing that the business in the store was declining, and his father's mood was getting worse and worse, and he had grown a few gray hairs, so Qiao Maosheng went to the academy and brought his father's favorite brother back, hoping that his father could be happier.

Five people sat down around the table, smiling at each other.

For a while, the family surrounded Qiao Maoshu and talked, leaving Qiao Shuhua alone lying on the bed and crying secretly.

"Dad, mother, why do I see so few diners downstairs? This one is already full on weekdays? Qiao Maoshu asked curiously.

When Qiao Xiangmin heard this, he sighed, if this was a different person to ask, he would have driven people away a long time ago, how could he hear these words, when he saw that it was his beloved little son, he felt a little melancholy, but he didn't want to mention it.

When Qiao Maosheng saw it, he sat down and told Qiao Maoshu about the cause and effect of this incident.

"Third brother, tell me, isn't this Xiao family of the uncle's family very hateful, she is now dominating the dogwood noodles of the Qiao family, and only sells them to the guest restaurant and the Chi family restaurant, she wants to watch our old Qiao family lose, you are the hope of our old Qiao family, if one day you are the top three, it is to give our old Qiao family's ancestors a glorious lintel, she is a person with a foreign surname, and even entering the ancestral grave must be approved by our father, why does she dominate the old Qiao's dogwood noodles to whoever she wants? I went to her to ask for it, and she kicked me out of the village, why did she drive me? ”

"By the way, I asked people to inquire about the situation in Yaoshan in the past two days, and I heard from the people in the village that Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang were redeemed by the fat man Xiao, third brother, you had a good relationship with Qiao Hong when you were young, I heard that the fat man Xiao was very polite to Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang, and it was flattering and flattering, why don't you try it from Qiao Hong's side, can you make sense? Otherwise, we will sue Xiao Fatzi in court, and see if she dares to take possession of our old Qiao's things and not let go! Anyway, more than one of their families is in prison, so send a few more to clean up the door of our old Qiao family! Qiao Maosheng said angrily.

No matter what Qiao Maosheng said, Qiao Xiangmin just kept a calm face.
