Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 145 My sister is just your sister, I will be your wife in the future!
"Hi, Aribaty? My lovely sister, your dear brother, I'm back!"

With the sudden opening of the door, Cao Lili and Qiao Simi, who were sitting at the dining table doing their homework, were taken aback for a moment, and they all stared 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? Are you back?"

"Yeah, yeah." Cao Zhiqiang walked in with a bag on his back with a smile on his back, then threw the bag on the ground, pinched his waist with both hands, raised his head and smiled, "If it's not me, who else could it be? Hahahaha!"

Cao Lili shook her head: "I'm sure, it's my stupid brother."

Only then did Cao Zhiqiang lower his head, and gave Cao Lili an angry look: "What are you talking about, I have nothing to do with silly words."

Cao Lili imitated Cao Zhiqiang and shrugged slightly: "Hmph, I think you are stupid enough now."

"Cut!" Cao Zhiqiang curled his lips, "I don't understand, I call it teasing, but I don't call it stupid, they are two different things!"

Cao Lili stopped bickering with Cao Zhiqiang: "You must be very tired after coming back so late? Why are you still teasing us like this? Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to eat for you?"

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

Well, Cao Zhiqiang did not come back after dinner, on this point, he did not lie.

In fact, after Cao Zhiqiang brought Qinghong back to the capital, he first arranged for Qinghong to stay in a hotel, and then went non-stop to Houhai to buy a courtyard house along the lake.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Zhiqiang took Qinghong to see the courtyard house, and then went shopping all morning.

During this period, Cao Zhiqiang not only bought a lot of clothes and cosmetics for Qinghong, but also bought a lot of daily necessities, such as sheets, bedding, washbasins, thermos bottles 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 new ones, of course new ones require bicycle tickets, while second-hand ones do not.

After the two of them each rode a bicycle, brought their newly bought things, and moved into Cao Zhiqiang's newly bought courtyard house together, Cao Zhiqiang took Qinghong for a few laps around the neighborhood to let Qinghong get acquainted with the house as soon as possible. the surrounding environment.

After waiting for Qinghong to get a little familiar with the new house and the surrounding environment, Cao Zhiqiang and Qinghong cooked together in the new courtyard and cooked a simple dinner.

After having dinner with Qing Hong in the New Siheyuan and giving her instructions, Cao Zhiqiang rode his newly bought second-hand bicycle and returned home leisurely.

Of course, this home is not the original old courtyard house, but a new house he specially rented to Cao Lili, which 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 Qing Hong just yet.

For no reason, Cao Zhiqiang felt instinctively that it would be better not to tell Cao Lili about such things, as it would be a while to keep it a secret.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang actually came back a long time ago, but he was busy serving Qinghong at the beginning, so he didn't come back to report to his sister immediately.

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

This is called a white lie, a necessary skill for a mature man.

"Brother Cao." The heartless Qiao Simei had already come over at this time, "You have been to the south for so long, did you bring me a present?"

"Simei!" Cao Lili immediately frowned, "What are you talking about? My brother went to the south to do business, not to bring you gifts!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "I brought presents, but as your sister said, I'm on business this time, and I don't have much time to go shopping, so I don't bring many presents."

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

"Actually, I went in a hurry this time, and I didn't go shopping. I just got gifts from the plane, such as folding fans, combs, Miao embroidered handkerchiefs, and chewing gum... By the way, and this, you You might like it—Qingyan Rose Candy!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang took out a paper box tied with paper rope: "Then, this is Qingyan Rose Candy, a local specialty. It is said that the taste is not bad, go and try it."

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

This Qingyan rose candy was a souvenir that Cao Zhiqiang bought in a small shop in Guiyang when he lived in the No. [-] Guest House in the provincial capital.

Qiao Simi didn't care about that. Seeing 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 knew you were good to me, don't worry, wait When I grow up, I will treat you well."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Okay, you will say, go."

Only then did Qiao Simei take away the rose sugar, put it on the dining table and unwrapped it happily.

Cao Lili ignored Qiao Simei, but walked up to Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Brother, is the journey going well?
Have you seen Big 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 at the time that you were going to bring their family back together? "

Cao Zhiqiang stood up slowly, stretched his waist and said, "Oh, my dear sister, you have so many questions. I just came back from a long journey, so let me drink some water and take a breath before talking."

"Simei!" Cao Lili suddenly turned her head, "Go, get me a glass of water!"

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

It can be seen from this that although Qiao Simei usually looks out of tune, she is still very caring and obedient when faced with Cao Zhiqiang's affairs, or with her sister's orders.

After Cao Zhiqiang sat down at the table and took another two sips of the warm boiled water that Qiao Simei had poured, he nodded and said, "It's a long story, but to put it simply, everything went well."

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

Of course there is no need to talk about things like Cao Zhiqiang and Qing Hong, 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.

After the eldest sister's family has completed 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 will be fine." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

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

"Of course not." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Eldest sister has already married and has her own husband and children, so it's 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 Simi 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 need to rent a house?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Simei, the things here are very complicated. Anyway, you are still young. When you grow up, you will understand me."

Yes, what Cao Zhiqiang meant was to rent a house for his sister. At the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang paid the rent, and when his sister settled down and had income, they would pay for the rent by themselves.

If their family income is higher in the future, they can also remind them to buy a house earlier.

However, it would be inappropriate for Cao Zhiqiang to buy a house for them to live in, and conflicts would easily arise.

Grown-ups understand the truth here, but Cao Zhiqiang didn't expect to have a fight with his sister's family over the house.

To put it bluntly, Cao Zhiqiang took Cao Jiajia's family back to Peiping just out of a kind of gratitude. After all, he is a time traveler, and he has taken over other people's body, so he has to bear the responsibility of his predecessor.

Taking over someone else's body, but not taking any responsibility, that's too scumbag, Cao Zhiqiang's conscience can't bear it.

However, repaying a favor is repaying a favor, but it does not mean being stupid.

Giving my sister 1000 yuan, and helping her get to Peiping, and arranging jobs for them, is the most benevolent.

If even the house is given...

Cao Zhiqiang still understands the principle of Sheng Mi's kindness against Mi's hatred.

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

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

"Fortunately, fortunately." Qiao Simei said suddenly.

"Fortunately what?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

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

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Simi looked at Cao Lili: "And sister, you don't seem to be familiar with them. If they are here, sister will have a hard time getting along with herself, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Lili frowned, "Simei, you can talk about the eldest sister's affairs? Hurry up and apologize to brother!"

"What I said is the truth." Qiao Simei pouted, "We live in a good place, but suddenly a bunch of strangers come here, it's very uncomfortable."

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

"Okay, okay, forget it." Cao Zhiqiang quickly stopped Cao Lili.

Afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Qiao Simi, who was pouting in disbelief, and then at Cao Lili, who was silent, and then suddenly smiled and shook his head.

"Oh, what am I doing, so serious.

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

As the saying goes, the water thrown by a married woman.

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

From this point of view, even if they really come here, they will not like to live with us, it will make them feel like they are dependent on others, and it will be inconvenient. "

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

If my brother-in-law wasn’t really sick, it would be difficult to heal there, and my sister’s family is having a hard time. I feel pitiful, and we are brothers and sisters after all. They are related by blood. They really want to go back to the capital. , and if I have the ability to help, I don't even want to bring them back.

All in all, I went to visit relatives this time only because I am not short of money and capable, so I want to do something for my dead parents.

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

As for my sister and brother-in-law, it was very difficult there, and they all wanted to come back. As my own brother, since I have the ability to help, there is no reason not to help, right?

But even so, as I said before, even if my sister's family really came to the capital, they can only be regarded as relatives with us. In terms of distance, my relationship with my sister is far inferior to the relationship between me and you two.

From now on, even if they come to the capital, at most they will drop by, and the two families will walk around each other, but it is impossible to live with us all day.

Don't say it's inconvenient for us, they will feel very uncomfortable.

After all, there are already two families, don't you think? "

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, you'd better give me a rotten stomach for what the elder brother said just now, and you are not allowed to say it, and no one is allowed to say it!
Especially after the elder sister's family comes, you are absolutely not allowed to tell their family what you heard, not at all, or I will serve you with a rolling pin, do you hear me? "

Qiao Simei shivered subconsciously, then hurriedly ran behind Cao Zhiqiang, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Cao, you have to make the decision for me. When you are not around, my sister always beats me, even for trivial matters, and uses Such a thick rolling pin hurts!

I kid you not, look, 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 quickly pressed Qiao Simei's hand, "You don't need to read it, I believe you, I absolutely believe you."

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

Cao Zhiqiang smiled wryly: "Simei, brother can't do what you want!"

"Why can't you do it?" Qiao Simei frowned, "You are so big, and my sister is so young, isn't it like playing with her?"

Cao Zhiqiang explained with a smile: "Simei, you have been here for a while, so you should know that in this family, your sister has the final say on all family matters.

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 know Lili, she has always been reasonable and will not beat people up.

Since she hit you, you must have done something wrong, so it's fine if you don't make a mistake next time? "

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

Don't forget, my sister is just your younger sister, and I will be your daughter-in-law in the future!
Then 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 get angry now, you want to avenge me! "

"Oh!" Cao Zhiqiang stood up suddenly, interrupting Qiao Simi's coquettish complaint, "Speaking of which, I'm really tired from the journey, so I'm going to wash up and sleep first, and I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.

As for the conflict between the two of you, you should resolve it within yourself.

Dear sister, how can there be overnight hatred?

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

OK, that's it! "

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang ran to the bathroom.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang running away suddenly, Qiao Simei yelled, "Brother Cao, don't run away, you have to make the decision for me."

"Stop yelling, it's useless." Cao Lili crossed her arms and stared at Qiao Simi squinting, "I'm getting better, and I'm going to sue? It seems that the last time the beating was light.

You stand here, don't go away, I'll get the rolling pin, and then I'll have a good talk with you. "

Speaking of this, Cao Lili lowered her arms and walked towards the kitchen.

"Don't, don't, sister." Qiao Simei kept backing away with a smile, "I, I, I was just joking!"

After finishing speaking, Qiao Simei suddenly yelled "Ah", and immediately ran to her bedroom.

After running all the way back to her room, Qiao Simei slammed the door shut and locked it behind her.

Seeing Qiao Simi running back to her room, Cao Lili stopped, looked at the door of Qiao Simi'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!"
