Zhao Xiangwan didn't answer the question of whether to go home, pushed open the door and beckoned Zhao Bowen into the house: "Big brother, I brought you a gift." ”

When Zhao Bowen heard that he had his own gift, he smiled happily, followed Zhao Xiangwan into his aunt's house, and watched Zhao Xiangwan take out a light gray wool scarf from his bag and take it happily.

"Third sister, you are so caring. This scarf is the most popular in Star Market, right? It's soft and light, it's good. You have a heart, big brother accepted it. ”

Zhao Bowen unfolded his scarf and wrapped it around his neck. Soft to the touch, warm and comfortable, he smiled from ear to ear. It's not easy for my sister to go to college, and he doesn't seem to help much, but I didn't expect her to remember to bring gifts to herself when she came back for the New Year, which was good.

Zhao Xiangwan knew that his eldest brother was soft-hearted and honest, so he didn't have any ideas. When I was at home before, I was the one who did farm work with my head bored, and he did whatever his parents said, and the heart and eyes of the whole family were given to the second brother Zhao Zhongwu.

Zhao Zhongwu is the best at stealing and playing tricks, he is unwilling to learn, and he always pushes his work to his eldest brother, and when he was in junior high school, he learned to play cards and gamble money, and he didn't know how much money he stole from his family. If Zhao Xiangwan hadn't used mind reading to restrain him, I'm afraid he would have become a gambler and a second-rate person long ago.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangwan asked, "Big brother, how is the second brother now?" ”

Zhao Bowen frowned and shook his head slightly: "Alas, the second child went to Yangcheng to learn cooking in a big hotel, and before he left the school, he started gambling again, and was kicked out by his master." I went home two days ago, grinding with my parents, saying that I had learned the craft and wanted to open a restaurant in Luo County. ”

Zhao Xiangwan shook his head, thinking in his heart that if he was really three years old and seven years old, the second brother Zhao Zhongwu, who loved gambling, had not been cured.

Zhao Bowen wore a scarf and looked left and right, and his heart was bubbling with beauty. When I raised my head and saw my sister's little apple face, I didn't know why I was both happy and distressed, and I brought up the topic just now.

"Third sister, will you go home with me on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve? Don't worry, my eldest brother is at work now, with a salary of sixty-two yuan a month, and he is no longer afraid of his parents. If your parents pull your face again, I will protect you. ”

Only when you have money can you have confidence.

Zhao Bowen was born in 1968, and after a year of high school, he dropped out of school to work in the family farm, because he didn't earn money, he worked hard every day, what to eat, and he had to ask his mother Qian Shufen for money if he needed to buy something. In the past, when Chenyang was still at home, as soon as he got home, he saw the third sister working and the fourth sister being lazy. After Chenyang left, the third sister was in junior high school and high school, and her mother scolded her as soon as she mentioned her, and she would be beaten every time she started school and asked for money. Zhao Bowen didn't dare to confront his parents, so he could only quietly send her some small snacks and stuff a few small changes in private.

Now that Zhao Bowen is at work, he feels that he has the confidence to speak, and when he saw the scarf sent by Zhao Xiangwan, he began to self-reflect, feeling that he had not done well enough before, and he did not help Zhao Xiangwan much, and he was a little ashamed.

Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "Big brother, I don't want to go home." ”

Even if Zhao Bowen wants to rebel against his parents, Qian Shufen's strength and meanness Zhao Xiangwan has been taught, and the good-tempered eldest brother has no courage and ability to continue to fight. And I haven't figured out how to face them.

Nurturing grace? There are also yes. At least raised her and didn't let her starve to death or die of illness, unlike Zhao Qingyun and Wei Meihua, who abandoned her just after the full moon. But this bit of nurturing grace was gone when she was swapped with Zhao Chenyang and deliberately suppressed her growth.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his sister, Zhao Bowen sat down a little depressed, and sighed for a long time: "Alas, third sister, your parents are not very good to you, but many people in the village are talking about you, do you really not even go home for the New Year?" Do you still remember that in order to allow you to go to junior high school, Uncle Hai, director of the village committee, and Aunt Gui, director of the Women's Federation, came to criticize and educate your parents. ”

Zhao Xiangwan looked at Zhao Bowen quietly and did not speak.

Fan Qiuhan pushed the door in, and replied angrily: "Cousin, if you want to be filial, you can go, don't get involved." What do you do when you go back to the evening? Continue to listen to her aunt scolding her for having no conscience, and her uncle nagging her for being ignorant? Let them detain her ID card and burn her clothes again to prevent her from continuing her studies? ”

The more Zhao Bowen listened, the whiter his face became, especially the words of buttoning his ID card and burning his clothes, which were unheard of. He subconsciously defended his parents: "That, although my parents think that the third sister is a girl and don't want her to study, they won't be like this...... That's an exaggeration, right? ”

Fan Qiuhan snorted: "There are even more exaggerated ones!" Do you know why Xiang Wan applied to the Public Security University? Because this university does not require tuition, it is admitted in batches in advance, and because my aunt does not dare to tear up the admission letter of this university! My aunt obstructed Xiang Wan's failure in the college entrance examination several times, so she let go of her cruel words, saying that as long as she received the admission notice, she would tear it up, and resolutely disagreed with the intention of continuing to study later. ”

Zhao Bowen's whole body began to tremble, and muttered, "I, I don't know." ”

Fan Qiuhan said angrily: "You are a son and the eldest son, your uncle and aunt must be good to you." You are in the blessing, how can you know that it is not easy to be late! ”

Zhao Bowen's brain began to sweat.

"Cousin, did you take the adult college entrance examination in 86 years to remind you late? Did Xiang Wan find your revision materials for you? If it weren't for the late days, you would still be farming in the countryside, where would you have a good job now! Be a man with a conscience, don't always impose your thoughts on Xiang Wan and force her to do things she doesn't like. ”

Once Fan Qiuhan started training people, it was like a machine gun, and Zhao Bowen's brain was buzzing, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong, I don't force the third sister." ”

"As for the Uncle Hai and Aunt Gui you said, let's go buy some New Year's gifts together, can you help Xiang Wan bring them over and say a few words of thanks? What do you have to go back late? If you let Xiang Wan do everything, what else do you want your big brother to do? ”

Zhao Bowen nodded again: "Yes, yes, yes, good." ”

There was the sound of the wheels of the car rolling across the cement road at the door, and Zhao Xiangwan quickly stood up: "Auntie is back!" The three of them all went out, and sure enough, Zhao Dacui came home after making breakfast.

Zhao Bowen hurriedly stepped forward to help unload the coal stove, iron drums, bottles and cans, and tableware and chopsticks on the cart, Zhao Xiangwan and Fan Qiuhan helped clean the dishes and chopsticks, and the family was busy for half an hour before packing up the cart and putting it back in the utility room.

Zhao Dacui dragged the back chair out, thumped his waist and sat down slowly, and only gasped for a long time: "Alas...... I'm so tired. "When I was young, I bent over to cut rice and didn't shout tired for a day, but I didn't expect to feel back pain when I came out of a rice noodle stall now.

When Fan Qiuhan saw it, his eyes were red with distress, and he came over and squatted down beside his mother to help her massage her back, complaining in his mouth: "Mom, I said you should stop going out of the stall, but you don't listen!" Carts, buckets, and standing for hours at a time, it all hurts my back. You are now fifty years old, and you still don't rest if your lumbar muscle strain is so serious, do you want to lie in bed when you are old in the future? ”

Zhao Dacui didn't refuse this time, raised his hand and stroked the top of his daughter's head, and sighed: "Sister Qiu feels sorry for her mother, and her mother knows." ”

Last night, Zhao Xiangwan also persuaded his cousin to support his aunt, and now he understands when he sees this situation: "Auntie, you are old now, and it is too hard to go out alone, why don't you take an apprentice and open a rice noodle shop?" ”

Zhao Dacui asked with a smile: "Xiang Wan wants to send an apprentice to his aunt?" Who is it? ”

Zhao Xiangwan: "Zhao Zhongwu." ”

Zhao Zhongwu, who was sitting on the fire in the old house of Zhaojiagou, thinking about how to get his mother to agree to open a shop for money, shivered inexplicably.

He looked around and muttered: The school is on winter vacation, will the three sisters go home? Her eyes seemed to have clairvoyant eyes, and she couldn't hide any careful thoughts, and she panicked when she saw her. But this person is a scumbag. I can't see her for so long, and I'm really a little panicked. If you have her help when gambling, you will be sure to kill all sides.

Thinking of gambling, Zhao Zhongwu's hands began to itch again.

There was a sudden commotion at the door, mixed with the surprised and deformed screams of her mother Qian Shufen: "Fourth sister, fourth sister, you are back." ”

Then came his father Zhao Erfu's overly enthusiastic voice: "Hurry up, hurry up, please come in." ”

"Zhongwu, Zhongwu, come out quickly, your fourth sister is back, Chenyang is back."

Hearing his mother shouting at the top of his voice, Zhao Zhongwu was stunned for a moment, Zhao Chenyang's lazy ghost is back? After walking for so many years, there is no news at all, what is so rare to come back at this time? He stretched, stood up slowly, and walked out of the west wing and into the hall.

In the middle of the old house, there are two wings in the east and west, the east end is the stove room, and the west end is the thatched house and the pigpen. Now a crowd of people crowded into the hall, surrounded by a man and a woman.

The woman is Zhao Chenyang, who has grown up, with a yellow cashmere sweater with a dark chestnut short woolen coat, and close-fitting black leggings with brown boots, which looks very fashionable in a group of rustic country girls. With slightly curly short hair, melon seed face, and big eyes, she looks very pretty.

Zhao Zhongwu whistled and raised his eyebrows: "Tut-tut, look at who this is, it's really the eighteenth change of the female university, the little man Zhao Chenyang is back." I haven't even sent a letter back for seven or eight years, how can I be willing to return to my hometown now? ”

Zhao Chenyang followed the voice and looked at Zhao Zhongwu, and rolled his eyes angrily by his yin and yang weird tone: "Ergouzi, I haven't seen you for so long, you are still so annoying!" ”

Zhao Zhongwu was thick-skinned, not afraid of scolding at all, and said with a smile: "It's better to be disgusted than to have no conscience." You have been lazy in Zhaojiagou for ten years, and after being taken to the city by your parents, you have not heard from you, you have no conscience, no conscience. ”

Qian Shufen couldn't listen to it anymore, so she walked over and slapped Zhao Zhongwu on the head: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

The middle-aged man standing next to Zhao Chenyang was very tall, wearing a long light gray tweed shirt, looking very official, he smiled and nodded to Zhao Zhongwu: "It's Zhao Xiangwan's second brother, right?" Hello. ”

The other party is personable, gentle, and easy-going, and he is a big man at first glance. Zhao Zhongwu was a little flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Hello, hello, I'm Zhao Zhongwu, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Zhao Qingyun." Zhao Qingyun shook hands with Zhao Zhongwu and glanced around the room, "Is Zhao Xiangwan back?" ”

Zhao Zhongwu felt a cold wind pour into his neck, he retracted his hand and took a hot breath: "The third sister didn't come back." ”

Zhao Qingyun glanced at Qian Shufen puzzled: "I heard that Zhao Xiangwan was yesterday's train." ”

The daughter came back, but refused to go home as soon as possible. Qian Shufen was a little embarrassed and snorted: "She should have gone to the county aunt's house." You have come from afar, sit down and have a cup of tea. ”

Qian Shufen turned her head to look at Zhao Chenyang, her eyes flashed with tears, this is the meat that fell from her, she has missed it every day for eight years. Seeing that Chenyang was looking so good, Qian Shufen couldn't control her emotions anymore, and opened her arms and hugged her: "Fourth sister, you conscienceless girl, I raised you for ten years, why did you come back......"

Zhao Erfu was also a little excited, looking his little daughter up and down, his eyes were full of joy. Chenyang is smart, he looks really good after entering the city instead of Xiang Wan, and he is still the water and soil in the city!

Zhao Chenyang was hugged by his own mother, smelled the smoke of firewood on her body, and was a little out of breath, pushed her away irritably, arranged her hair, and barely squeezed out a smile: "That, when will Zhao Xiangwan come back?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Chenyang only cared about Zhao Xiangwan, Qian Shufen was a little overwhelmed, feeling that the development of things was different from what she expected.

Qian Shufen thought that Zhao Qingyun drove over in a car with a large bag of gifts, and he must have accompanied Zhao Chenyang back to Zhaojiagou, and thanked him for his nurturing grace by the way. But as soon as they met, their buttocks hadn't touched the chair yet, and both of them were asking Zhao Xiangwan, what was the reason?

Zhao Xiangwan, a disobedient girl, was gone as soon as she was admitted to university, not a phone call, not a letter, and she didn't go home when the train arrived in Luo County yesterday.

Zhao Erfu smiled: "Xiang Wan, this child has a good relationship with her aunt, I guess I went to see her aunt first." Later, Zhongwu will ride to pick him up, you sit first, sit first. ”

Zhao Qingyun didn't sit down, and he didn't smile on his face, he glanced at the villagers gathered around the door of the hall, and said a word in a low voice.

"Zhao Chenyang is your girl, I sent her back. Zhao Xiangwan is my Zhao Qingyun's own girl, I'll take her back. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

What? Zhao Chenyang, who was taken to the city to enjoy happiness, was born to Zhao Erfu and Qian Shufen, and Zhao Xiangwan, who has been beaten and scolded, is the daughter of the city?

There was a buzzing sound, this news was really shocking to the people of Zhaojiagou, too shocking.

"No wonder Zhao Xiangwan's grades are so good, but Erfu and the two of them refused to let her go to school, it turned out that they were not biological!"

"Take a closer look, the cadres from this city look quite similar to Zhao Xiangwan."

"Aunt Qian did it on purpose, right? She is a mother, which is the biological one is sure she knows best, which ...... This is also too inauthentic! ”

In the midst of the discussion, Zhao Zhongwu's eyes widened. Oh my god, something is wrong!

Chapter 28: Zhao Jiagou

◎ Hateful! The eight years that I missed ◎

Qian Shufen was a little stunned, and looked at Zhao Chenyang blankly, as if asking: What's the matter? Didn't you say you wouldn't expose it? Didn't you say that Zhao Xiangwan didn't like Zhao Qingyun and them?

After the Four Seasons Hotel met Zhao Xiangwan, Zhao Qingyun immediately questioned Zhao Chenyang. Zhao Chenyang knew that the paper couldn't hold the fire, so he took the initiative to confess to Zhao Qingyun and Wei Meihua, and claimed that he didn't know that it was Qian Shufen's vanity that made it possible to change the identities of the two.

Qian Shufen took all the charges for Zhao Chenyang, put her posture very low when she called Zhao Qingyun, crying and begging him not to blame Zhao Chenyang, and said that she took great care of Zhao Xiangwan and worked hard to train her to become a college student, worthy of Zhao Qingyun's entrustment.

After crying, Qian Shufen dropped a sentence: "I helped you raise your daughter for ten years, can't you help me raise it for eight years?" I don't hold you accountable for leaving the child behind, and you don't blame me for changing the child. ”

gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock, and when she was full moon, she threw her daughter to the countryside for foster care, and the foster care fee of ten yuan a month was only given for four years, Zhao Qingyun did not do this authentically, and in the face of Qian Shufen's hidden needle, he couldn't get angry at all. In addition, Zhao Chenyang has been raising it for eight years, and seeing that it is the harvest season, Zhao Qingyun is reluctant to give up.

Zhao Qingyun's most desired result is that Zhao Xiangwan and Zhao Chenyang are sisters who are commensurate with each other and are raised as daughters. Anyway, Zhao Xiangwan is eighteen years old and is in college, so she doesn't need to spend more energy, it's just to prepare an extra dowry and arrange a good job for her.

However, after meeting Zhao Xiangwan for a while, Zhao Qingyun knew that she was not good at talking. Zhao Chenyang has taken up her time and resources for eight years, and she must have hatred in her heart. If he doesn't have a clear attitude, I'm afraid Zhao Xiangwan won't recognize him as a father.

After hesitating and hesitating, Zhao Qingyun couldn't make up his mind.

On the one hand, Zhao Chenyang, who has been raised for eight years and married to the Xu family, and on the other hand, Zhao Xiangwan, who has no grace of nurturing and has a close relationship with Ji Jinmao, which is more important, his inner balance has been swinging.

After experiencing the murder of Weng Pingfang, Zhao Qingyun really realized the value of Zhao Xiangwan.

A case that even Xu Songling found tricky, Zhao Xiangwan investigated the case clearly in only one week. What does this mean? This shows that Zhao Xiangwan has clear logic, careful thinking, and tenacity. Such a person is by no means a thing in the pool, as long as it is cultivated a little, the future is limitless.

In comparison, what is it to give up a Zhao Chenyang? As long as she has the support of Zhao Xiangwan and the Ji family behind her, Zhao Qingyun is confident that she will go to the next level.

After thinking about it, Zhao Qingyun let go of that bit of self-esteem as a father, and decided to send Zhao Chenyang back to Zhaojiagou, admit Zhao Xiangwan's identity in front of Qian Shufen and Zhao Erfu, and officially take her home. Perhaps only in this way can Zhao Xiangwan's heart be restored and make her willing to be close to her.

Zhao Qingyun saw that Qian Shufen was still in a daze, raised her voice and spoke again: "The children of our two families made a mistake, how about changing it back now?" ”

How is it? Not how!

Qian Shufen looked at Zhao Chenyang, whose face was pale, and couldn't wait to scold her mother. You raised Chenyang to be charming, delicate and fashionable, and now you are back, can she get used to our broken house?

"That, Leader Zhao. You see, whether it's Xiang Wan or Chenyang, they have grown up, and now they are all in college in Star City, what are you talking about sending back and bringing back when you are so old? For the New Year, come first to have a cup of tea, and discuss something slowly. ”

Qian Shufen greeted warmly, and glanced at the second son who was standing aside: "Why don't you hurry up and go to your aunt's house and take the third sister back!" ”

Hearing that Zhao Chenyang was his own sister, although Zhao Zhongwu was surprised for a moment, he quickly accepted the facts.

He said, how could a sister like Zhao Xiangwan, who is excellent in learning and has amazing gambling skills, be raised by her own family. If you want to say that Zhao Chenyang, a nasty ghost who is lazy and calls him a second dog all day long, it looks like his own sister!

However, when he asked him to pick up Zhao Xiangwan, Zhao Zhongwu was a little reluctant.

To be honest, he was a little afraid of Zhao Xiangwan. I just learned to gamble in junior high school, and at that time, I was betting on guessing the size of the dice, which was simple and easy to use. Zhao Zhongwu stole the family's money to go out to play, but was discovered by Zhao Xiangwan, Zhao Zhongwu clearly remembered that her face was as dark as a moonless night at that time.

Zhao Xiangwan asked Zhao Zhongwu: "Why bet?" ”
