Chapter 632 I Would Rather Believe in a Dog

"Simei, what are you doing?" Qiao Erqiang asked curiously when he saw that his sister seemed to be burying something.

Qiao Simei buried a handful of reeds into the small pit in front of her with a sad face: "I am burying my love that died young."

Qiao Erqiang scratched his head, and he admired Qin Hao even more: As expected of Brother Hao, with just one move, that boy broke up with his sister.

After putting the reeds into the pit and burying them with soil, Qiao Simei stepped on them a few times and gritted her teeth.

"I will never like pretty boys anymore. They have no manliness at all."

"Second brother, I'm lovelorn. Do you have money? Take me to eat delicious food."

Seeing his sister in such pain, Qiao Erqiang immediately patted his chest and said, "If you have money, I just sold a repaired tape recorder yesterday. Whatever you want to eat, my second brother will treat you."

"Well, if I want to eat roast duck, I'll call the third sister and Qiqi first. Otherwise, this kid will have to complain to his mother again." Qiao Simei rolled her eyes.

"Okay." Qiao Erqiang didn't realize that he was being blackmailed again.

At the entrance of a roast duck restaurant, Qiao Simei slapped the table proudly: "Waiter, give us two roast ducks."

Qiao Sanli looked a little hesitant: "One is enough, the roast duck here is very expensive."

Qiao Erqiang patted his chest and said, "It's okay. Second brother is making money. I have enough for today."

Qiao Simei said coquettishly to Qiao Sanli: "Third sister, one is not enough to eat, there are so many of us."

When the waiter saw four children coming, he ordered two roast ducks. He didn't dare to serve them for a while, so he could only ask with a smile.

"When will your adults come?"

Qiao Simei patted Qiao Erqiang on the shoulder: "This is the adult of our family. Second brother, show him the money so that he won't think that we can't afford it."

"Hey, do you want to buy two roast ducks?" Qiao Erqiang puffed up his chest unconsciously and slapped the two "Great Unity" on the table.

The waiter's eyes lit up and he cupped his hands: "Okay, I'll let the chef cook it for you."

Qiao Sanli couldn't help complaining to Qiao Simei: "Second brother, this money is going to be reserved for opening a store in the future. Don't keep blackmailing him."

"We don't know yet when we open a shop. It's the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. Qiqi is the time when we are growing tall. We need to eat something good." Qiao Simei said nonchalantly.

Qiao Qiqi was only six years old and knew nothing. When she entered the roast duck restaurant, smelling the aroma of meat, her soul flew away. When she heard the fourth sister mentioning herself, she nodded: "Yeah, I have to eat meat."

"You are just a foodie!" Qiao Sanli wiped the drool from her brother's mouth in an angry and funny tone.

Not long after, the roast duck was served. It was so fragrant that the four children were greedy.

"Come and eat a duck leg in Qiqi." Qiao Erqiang started directly and pulled off a duck leg for his brother, then Qiao Simei, Qiao Sanli, and finally himself.

The four brothers and sisters of the Qiao family eat like crazy. Although Wei Shuying has taken over Qiao Zuwang's job in recent years and has more money at her disposal, she is used to living a tight diet and rarely eats and drinks even if she has money. , and Qiao Yicheng went to Shanghai to go to college, and Wei Shuying gave half of her family's savings to her eldest son, so the family's food supply was naturally tight.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious. I haven't had such delicious roast duck for a long time." Qiao Simei said with a greasy face as she gnawed on the duck leg.

Qiao Sanli is relatively more polite, but she is also full of oil.

Not to mention Qiao Qiqi, holding a duck leg thicker than her own arm, eating it without even thinking about talking.

"As long as it's delicious, I'll make more money later and bring you here to eat once a week." Qiao Erqiang saw his younger brothers and sisters eating so happily, and he was happier than eating meat himself.

Soon, the two roast ducks were eaten up by the four people. The bones were gnawed cleanly by dogs. Qiao Simei patted his belly with satisfaction and burped.

"Waiter, Checkout."

"Okay, a roast duck costs eight yuan. I charge you twenty and give you four yuan in change. Take it and walk slowly."

Qiao Erqiang was just about to pick up the four dollars when suddenly a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Okay, a bunch of unfilial sons are eating and drinking outside, leaving your father to eat chaffy vegetables at home."

"Dad, why are you here?" Qiao Erqiang almost weakened his feet.

Qiao Zuwang glanced at the remains of the two roast ducks on the table, and his hands trembled with anger: "Roast duck, two more, where did you get the money?"

"No, not two, just one." Qiao Simei defended guiltily.

Qiao Zuwang came to the dining table on crutches and picked up a duck leg bone: "A duck has four legs, you are lying."

"Third sister, fourth sister, run!"

Just when Qiao Erqiang didn't know how to explain it, Qiao Qiqi, the little devil, just pulled him and ran out.

Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei subconsciously followed them and ran out of the roast duck restaurant, leaving Qiao Zuwang standing there with a crutch and cursing.

"These little brats piss me off."

After running out of the roast duck restaurant, Qiao Erqiang said with a grimace: "It's over now, dad will definitely complain to our mom."

Qiao Zuwang had ignored several children in these years, but Wei Shuying took them very seriously. If she made a mistake, she would definitely be beaten, otherwise Qiao Simei would not ask Qin Hao for help.

"It's all Simei's fault. I insist on eating roast duck." Qiao Sanli complained.

Qiao Simei pursed her lips and was extremely depressed: "How did I know I could meet him here?"

"Now what?"

"What else can we do? Let's go home and wait for our mother to get punished after get off work."

"well."

When Wei Shuying got off work, she found that the house was extremely quiet today. The children all had their heads hanging down. Her husband, Qiao Zuwang, stared at the children with a dark face and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"what happened?"

Qiao Erqiang and the others all lowered their heads with guilty conscience.

Qiao Zuwang said angrily: "What else happened? You did a good thing!"

Wei Shuying's face was full of confusion: "What did I do?"

Qiao Zuwang told Qiao Erqiang and the others about their visit to the roast duck restaurant.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. You could do such a thing behind my back. You made two whole roast ducks in one meal. Even our factory director wouldn't dare to eat like this."

Wei Shuying looked at the children with a dark face: "Is everything your dad said true?"

Qiao Simei was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head. Qiao Qiqi was even more frightened and cried. Qiao Sanli did not dare to look directly into Wei Shuying's eyes. She lowered her head and picked her fingers without saying a word.

"Second Qiang, what did you say happened?" Wei Shuying knew at a glance that her husband was not lying.

Qiao Erqiang said hesitantly: "I haven't eaten meat for several days and I'm greedy, so I took them to eat roast duck."

Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he banged the table: "Oh, listen, I haven't eaten meat for a few days. If you don't know, you might think our family is related to the royal family. Ask your neighbors, except for the one next door, who's family is just three or five feet away from each other?" Eat meat.”

"Where's the money? Where did you get the money?" Wei Shuying walked up to Qiao Erqiang and asked sharply.

Qiao Zuwang sneered: "Play, continue to play, I asked, two roast ducks are 16 yuan, if you don't give them, how will they get so much money!"

Wei Shuying ignored Qiao Zuwang's cynicism, but stared at Qiao Erqiang.

"I earned it myself." Qiao Erqiang whispered.

"Earn it yourself, yo yo, look what you can do. Two big solidarity bills cover more than half a month's salary of your mother. Where did you earn it?" Qiao Zuwang had already determined that Wei Shuying gave the money to the children behind his back, so that When they go out to eat, they have to eat chaffy vegetables all day long.

Wei Shuying suddenly thought of something: "Do you earn money by repairing electrical appliances?"

"Yeah." At this point, Qiao Erqiang could only nod obediently.

"Any more?"

"No, the remaining four pieces were taken away by my father."

When Qiao Zu saw Wei Shuying looking at him, he immediately covered his pockets and said, "You guys are eating and drinking behind my back every day. From now on, my monthly pocket money will have to be increased, at least ten yuan!"

"I didn't give you this money, it was earned by the second strongman himself." Wei Shuying said calmly.

"Who would believe it? He hasn't even graduated yet. How can he earn money?"

Qiao Erqiang quickly explained: "I really earned it myself. Brother Hao gave me a broken tape recorder last week and I repaired it. Brother Hao earned 40 yuan after selling it and gave me half of it."

"Wait a minute, you said you earned twenty yuan a week?" Qiao Zuwang's eyes lit up and he looked at Qiao Erqiang. He no longer looked like he looked at his good-for-nothing son before, but as if he was looking at a rare treasure. No, it should be a cash cow.

After repairing the radio last time, Wei Shuying had no doubts about her son's words, but when she saw the way her husband looked at her son, she knew something was wrong.

"Good boy, I just said that I was right to take the technical secondary school entrance examination. Look, look, I'm starting to make money before I graduate." Qiao Zuwang proudly held his chin and pointed at Wei Shuying, looking like I'm well-informed. appearance.

Wei Shuying was already immune to her husband's shamelessness. She rolled her eyes, then turned to Qiao Er and said forcefully.

"Don't spend money like this in the future anymore. Give me the money you earn and I'll save it for you so you can get a wife in the future."

"Oh." Qiao Erqiang didn't think there was any problem.

But Qiao Zuwang quit: "Why should I keep it with you? If you want to save it, you should keep it with me. I am the head of the family!"

At this moment, Qiao Zuwang didn't care about the increase in living expenses. His son was making money at the rate he was making, which was not much more than the living expenses.

Wei Shuying glanced at Qiao Zuwang: "Keep it for you, can you still get it out when the time comes?"

"What are you talking about? Wei Shuying, let me tell you, I have tolerated you for a long time. If you keep nagging me again, I won't be able to beat you and me to death." Cai Jin moved people's hearts, and Qiao Zuwang also gave it a go.

This time Wei Shuying did not flinch, she glared at Qiao Zuwang and said: "Hit me, if you dare to touch me, I will go to the women's director and sue you!"

Most of Qiao Zuwang's arrogance was extinguished in an instant. He was warned by the women's director last time. If he does it again this time, it will be an extra crime. If Wei Shuying takes the opportunity to divorce him, how will he live in the future if he is disabled? Pass?

Seeing this, Qiao Sanli suddenly had an idea.

"Second brother can't hold the money. Otherwise, let Brother Hao save the money for him."

Wei Shuying thought it was feasible as soon as she heard it. She was completely assured of Qin Hao's character.

Qiao Zuwang was anxious and cursed: "What are you talking about? There is no reason to save your own money for others. Besides, that kid named Qin has such a dark heart. If he earns forty, he will give twenty to the second best. You can't give him this money!"

Qiao Sanli rolled her eyes for a while. Not to mention who Qiao Erqiang learned this skill from, just take this tape recorder as an example. If Qin Hao hadn't found her second brother to repair it, the second brother would have earned the twenty yuan. ? Working with others is a waste of time, and all the money is earned by yourself?

"That's it. I'll call Haozi later." Wei Shuying finally made the decision despite Qiao Zuwang's strong objections.

Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he jumped up and down: "You are a prodigal old woman. She would rather believe in outsiders than in me."

Qiao Erqiang and the three brothers looked at each other and shook their heads. They would rather believe in a dog than they believed in getting back the money that went into their father's pocket.

That night, Qin Hao received a call from Wei Shuying, and after hearing her explanation of the situation, he agreed.

In the next month, Qin Hao helped Qiao Erqiang without giving him any money, but every transaction was accounted for. Qiao Erqiang naturally trusted Qin Hao unconditionally, but Qin Hao still understood Qin Hao as a brother. In order to settle accounts, let him prepare an account book himself.

If you don't keep accounts, you don't know. Qiao Erqiang did the math and found that he could earn more than a hundred yuan a month just by repairing Qin Hao's electrical appliances. This was because he was not very skilled and couldn't repair big items like TVs and refrigerators.

Qin Hao left some simple repairs to Qiao Erqiang to lay the foundation. He also repaired and renovated TVs, refrigerators and other difficult-to-repair appliances, earning his first "ten thousand yuan household"

Of course, this amount of money is not much for Qin Hao, but in 1983, he was already a wealthy man.

Time flies so fast, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In 1986, Qin Hao was already in his junior year and was about to graduate in one year. At this time, most of the students in the Astronomy Department of Jinling University had already begun to be booked by their workplaces.

Students with excellent grades like Qin Hao are naturally in high demand. Several relevant units are rushing to get them, but Qin Hao has not agreed.

Not only is scientific research boring, but once you enter a work unit in subjects such as astronomy, you are basically isolated from the world. He does not plan to spend the rest of his life in the Gobi desert.

In this regard, the school teachers and the person in charge of the unit gave him a lot of ideological work, but Qin Hao always used the procrastination technique. Anyway, as long as he didn't nod, the school couldn't do anything to him.

In the past three years, Qiao Yicheng would come back once a month in the first year. In the second year, Qiao Yicheng would come back every three months. It was obvious that the colorful world of the Magic City had opened his eyes. According to Qiao Yicheng himself, he uses his spare time as a tutor, which not only does not require tuition and living expenses from his family, but also saves a lot. After all, Fudan University's top students are still very popular.

Qiao Erqiang has already graduated and joined a state-owned electrical appliance factory as a technician. The salary is quite good. The salary of fifty-two yuan a month is higher than Wei Shuying.

However, since he couldn't save money, he kept some pocket money from his salary and left the rest to Wei Shuying for safekeeping, which made Qiao Zuwang's boss unhappy.

But in this family, Qiao Zuwang had almost no right to speak. He really made a fuss, and Wei Shuying said: Get a divorce, and he had no choice but to stop. (End of chapter)
