Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 277 The So-Called Family
In most novels, movies and TV dramas, the protagonists of those children are often all kinds of maverick brats, who seem to be born with thorns, born to like to go against adults, and all kinds of disobedience.

But in reality, most children are very afraid of adults, and they are also very obedient to adults, unless the parents of the child are too spoiled and spoil the child.

But the kind of situation where children are spoiled is generally a family with better family conditions, so that they can have the conditions to create an information cocoon for their children, so that children have the conditions to be spoiled.

As for the children of poor families, do you still want your parents to spoil the children?What are you thinking?

In fact, most of the so-called "spoiled generation", "beaten generation" and "little emperor generation" born in the [-]s blown up by the domestic media have never lived in a honeypot , Of course, it's not that they were spoiled since they were young, it's just that their material conditions are better than their predecessors.

But good material conditions do not mean that their parents will spoil their children.

Because for the majority of the post-[-]s generation in China, the world they live in is still an era of relative poverty in the country, and it is still incomparable with the children of developed countries. They may not suffer as much as those born in the [-]s and [-]s, but they are absolutely It can't be called a "little emperor".

As for Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan's siblings, these two children are typical post-[-]s generation.

When the two of them were born, although they were not as hungry as those born in the [-]s and [-]s, they definitely couldn't talk about enjoying happiness.

The poorer the family, the stricter the discipline of the children, because if it is not strict, life will not be able to survive.

The children of the poor are already in charge of the family, and that's what they are talking about.

In the same way, because of being poor, children from poor families become sensible early.

Without him, if you are exposed to the cruel reality too early, you will naturally be sensible earlier.

This is the case with Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan. Although they are still children, they are very obedient children.

Because disobedient children have to stand and be beaten, and there is no good food, or even food.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When they know that listening to adults will make them live better, they will naturally be willing to be obedient children.

In particular, after coming to the capital, they enjoyed a life they had never enjoyed before, ate things they had never tasted before, and wore good clothes that they had never imagined before.

The huge change in living conditions naturally made Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan happy.

But at the same time, they are also very clear that these are all given by their uncle.

Although out of various psychological reasons, they gradually took all this for granted, but it does not mean that they are not afraid of Cao Zhiqiang as uncle.

This is like those rich second generations who love to show off their wealth, no matter how arrogant and domineering rich second generations are outside, they have to bow their heads obediently in front of their benefactor fathers, otherwise it is impossible to live a rich second generation life.

Therefore, when Cao Zhiqiang asked the two children to apologize to Qiao Simei, although they were unhappy in various ways, they still succumbed to Cao Zhiqiang's authority and bowed their heads.

Just like that, the two children pulled their faces together, lowered their heads, and followed Cao Zhiqiang into the house.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang brought his two children to Qiao Simei.

"Simei." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I have already understood the situation. The conflict between you is just a misunderstanding, and Wen Fang and Wen Xuan have also realized that they have done something wrong. They are here to talk to you now. Sorry."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan: "Wenfang, Wenxuan, you two are older, please apologize first."

Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan glanced at each other, and then they looked at Cao Jiajia who was staring at him with a livid face.

After seeing Cao Jiajia's wink, the two of them immediately understood that this apology cannot be escaped.

"I'm sorry." Xia Wenfang was the first to apologize, "I shouldn't have said that, I shouldn't have called you an outsider."

"I'm sorry too." Xia Wenxuan was the second to apologize, "I shouldn't have yelled at you, and I shouldn't have called you an outsider."

"Hmph!" Qiao Simi happily put her hands on her hips and raised her chin, "Now you know how to apologize? Why did you go so early? Aren't you all very proud before?"

Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan looked at each other, then lowered their heads and did not speak.

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Qiao Simei said cheerfully, "Come on, call me auntie!"

"Simei!" Cao Lili frowned suddenly and said, "That's enough! You've gone too far! Everyone has apologized, so you should apologize too, instead of being unforgiving!"

"Why?" Qiao Simi said, "It was their fault in the first place, and I should apologize to me. Why should I apologize to them? And what's wrong with letting them call me aunt? You and I are brother Zhiqiang's sister, they Both are brother Zhiqiang's nephews, so in terms of seniority, is it wrong to let them call me aunt?"

"Stop talking!" Cao Lili said, "Apologize quickly, hurry up!"

"I don't, I won't!" Qiao Simei shook her head, "Why am I apologizing if I'm right?"

"You, are you apologizing?" Cao Lili stood up and asked.

"I won't!" Qiao Simei said stiffly, "I'm right, I'm their elder, I'm their aunt, what's wrong with me?"

"You!" Cao Lili became anxious, and subconsciously slapped Qiao Simei across the face.

This slap stunned everyone, including Cao Lili who made the shot.

"Simei!" Cao Lili took two steps regretfully.

"Don't come here!" Qiao Simei suddenly covered her face with tears, and took two steps back, "Okay, you hit me, and you hit me for some outsiders? You are not my sister, and I am not your sister!"

After finishing speaking, Qiao Simi ran out whimpering.

"Simei!" Cao Lili was about to chase after her.

"Don't!" Cao Zhiqiang frowned and stopped him, "I'll go, Simei, you stay here, talk to the eldest sister, don't make trouble!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang nodded to Cao Jiajia, and then chased him out.

After chasing her out, Cao Zhiqiang did not stop Qiao Simei immediately, but followed closely behind Qiao Simei, watching her run.

Qiao Simi ran out of the West Courtyard, and he also ran out of the West Courtyard after him.

Qiao Simi ran out of the courtyard, and Cao Zhiqiang also ran out of the courtyard.

Qiao Simi ran into the alley, and Cao Zhiqiang also ran into the alley.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang followed Qiao Simei closely, followed her unhurriedly, watched her cry, watched her run, but he just didn't go up to stop her.

I don't know, I thought Cao Zhiqiang was chasing the child, but in fact Cao Zhiqiang just wanted Qiao Simei to run, cry, and vent his inner emotions.

The so-called bystander is clear, until now, Cao Zhiqiang finally sees everything clearly.

Although Qiao Simei's current behavior seems to be unreasonable, in some fast food online novels, it is the kind of villain who makes people crazy and annoying.

But in fact, Qiao Simei is not the kind of person who is narcissistic and unreasonable.

That's right, Qiao Simei is indeed bold and a face-controller, even her eyesight is a little lacking, and she does her own way, and doesn't turn back if she doesn't hit the south wall, but it doesn't mean that she is an egomaniac, thinking that the whole world surrounds her hang around.

The reason is very simple, Qiao Simei also comes from a poor family, and has suffered a lot since childhood, so it is impossible to say that she is not sensible at all.

It's just that compared to Qiao Sanli, who is more stable, no, Cao Lili, Qiao Simi's temperament is more optimistic and lively.

She is really ignorant at all, how could she travel thousands of miles from Nanjing to Peiping alone by train?
In fact, whether Cao Lili or Cao Jiajia, or even Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan, these people didn't understand the truth of why Qiao Simei was so angry.

Qiao Simei was not angry that the two children Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan didn't respect her, she just had a panic about her status.

You know, after Qiao Simi came to Peiping from Nanjing all the way, although she went to her sister, because she was still a child, she was still from the Qiao family in Nanjing, and she could not be regarded as a person from Peiping, nor could she be regarded as a member of the Cao family. .

This is completely different from Cao Lili's situation.

Since Qiao Sanli was adopted and changed her name to Cao Lili, although she is still related to the Qiao family in terms of blood, she is already a serious Cao family in terms of identity.

Just look at the household registration book. Cao Lili's name is written on the Cao family's household registration book. It is precisely because of this that Cao Lili can attend elementary school in Beijing as a native of the capital.

Qiao Simi is different. Although she is Cao Lili's biological sister, her household registration is with that poor father's household registration in Nanjing. Therefore, in terms of identification, Qiao Simei belongs to the Qiao family, not the Cao family.

On this point, Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan were actually right.

It is precisely because Qiao Simei's surname is not Cao that when Cao Jiajia held a family banquet, only Cao Lili was allowed to attend the main table, and Qiao Simei was not allowed to sit at the table.

Although Cao Jiajia said that she asked Qiao Simi to eat with her peers, the main reason is that Cao Jiajia did not think that Qiao Simi was from the Cao family.

It would be fine if Qiao Simei was ignorant at all, but Qiao Simei was actually very sensible. She just pretended to be ignorant, pretending to be lively and evasive, to cover up her panic.

To put it bluntly, Qiao Simei didn't want to go back, but she knew that she was not from here, so she was neither from Qiao's family nor from Cao's family, and was in a very embarrassing situation.

The more this is the case, the more she wants to be affirmed and recognized, and what she wants to be affirmed most is naturally to become the Cao family.

While emphasizing that Cao Lili is her own sister, Qiao Simi always said that she will marry Cao Zhiqiang when she grows up. In fact, she mainly wants to integrate into the Cao family and become a member of the Cao family.

Cao Zhiqiang also knew this, so he proposed to his eldest sister Cao Jiajia before that Cao Jiajia should adopt Qiao Simei.

Only if Cao Jiajia adopts Qiao Simei, can Qiao Simei become a member of the Cao family in a legitimate way, and can go to school and live in the capital with peace of mind.

According to Cao Zhiqiang's understanding, Cao Jiajia has no reason to refuse. After all, Cao Jiajia's benefits from Cao Zhiqiang's side are not 01:30, just asking her to help adopt a child, and the adoption is only in name, so there is no difficulty.

As a result, just after saying a few words, Qiao Simei came over to make trouble.

"Wang! Wang Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

A sudden barking of dogs in front frightened Qiao Simei, who was crying and running with her head muffled.

She stopped immediately, then looked left and right, and found that she had come to a strange alley with dim lights.

But ahead, it was completely pitch-black, like a big mouth that chooses to eat someone, waiting for the delicious prey to throw itself into the net.

The instinct of being afraid of the dark made Qiao Simei subconsciously take two steps back.

Immediately afterwards, a stray dog ​​slowly walked out of the darkness, grinning at Qiao Simei.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Simei trembled instinctively, and stood still, not daring to move.

Suddenly, the stray dog ​​shrank its head, turned around, tucked its tail and ran away.

Then, Qiao Simei, who was trembling all over, felt her body tighten, as if someone hugged her from behind.

"Ah! Let me go, help!" Qiao Simei began to struggle instinctively.

"Hush, stop shouting, it's me, Simei!" Cao Zhiqiang's voice rang in Qiao Simei's ear.

At the same time, Qiao Simei also felt that the arms holding her were separated.

Only then did Qiao Simei come to her senses, and she turned her head abruptly, just in time to see Cao Zhiqiang who was squatting half behind her.

"Brother Cao?" Qiao Simi exclaimed.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "It's me."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to pick up a clean handkerchief, and wiped away Qiao Simei's tears with a smile.

"Are you tired from running? Do you want to run? Do you want to cry?

It doesn't matter, if you don't run enough and cry enough, just keep running and crying.

Don't worry, I will protect you right behind you, you can run boldly, cry boldly, there will be no danger. "

Qiao Simi blinked blankly, then rushed over, hugged Cao Zhiqiang's neck, and started crying again: "Brother Cao, woo woo, brother Cao, I, I, woo woo..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know everything." Cao Zhiqiang also hugged Qiao Simei with his backhand, and patted Qiao Simei's shoulder lightly.

"Simei, I know what you are worried about, and I know what you are afraid of.

It doesn't matter, in my heart, you are my sister, my relatives, in terms of status, you are the same as your sister, both are my real sisters.

To be honest, I think what you said is right. In terms of status and seniority, you are the aunt of my two nephews. There is nothing wrong with that.

What's wrong with you is just that the way you declare your identity is wrong.

You know, even if you are the elder of my two nephews in terms of status, you are younger than them in terms of age.

Therefore, you have to respect them, treat them as peers first, and make good friends with them first, instead of using seniority to oppress others as soon as you come up.

If you become friends with them, everyone treats each other as equals, and if you talk about seniority, they will accept it, at most think it is interesting, but they will not say that about you.

Of course, I also know why you are in such a hurry.

This is actually my fault for ignoring your feelings, not letting you into the seat, and making you think that we don't treat you as one of our own.

In fact, it is not the case, it is really just my negligence.

What's more, I thought you like to play with people of the same age, but our table is basically adults, you may not like it. "

"No! I like it!" Qiao Simei sobbed, "I will be where my brother is, and I will like whatever my brother likes."

"Silly boy." Cao Zhiqiang touched the top of Qiao Simei's head, "Simei, it's my brother who has neglected you recently, and I didn't understand your feelings. Here, my brother apologizes to you.

I should have realized your panic earlier, and I should have resolved your identity issue earlier.

It's a pity, I've been busy with my own affairs recently, so I forgot about yours. You won't blame brother, right? "

"No." Qiao Simei hugged Cao Zhiqiang tightly again.

"I know you're busy with business, I, my things are small things, don't be in such a hurry.

Me, I'm just afraid that you hate me, afraid that you don't like me, afraid that you forget me.

I don't want to be separated from you.

In fact, I also know that I am wrong, but I am just afraid, afraid that you hate me and don't want me anymore. "

"How could it be?" Cao Zhiqiang patted Qiao Simei on the shoulder, "Why would I not want you? Worry."

"But, my surname is Qiao after all." Qiao Simei said flatly, "I'm not in the same family as you, and, besides, I'm still so young, and I can't marry you now, you, what if you find me? If you marry another woman, don't I have no chance to have a family with you?"

"Stupid girl!" Cao Zhiqiang laughed, "A family does not necessarily have to have the same surname, nor does it necessarily have to be related by blood.

Maybe it looks like this to others, but I don't care about it.

Anyway, in my opinion, the so-called family members are not blood or surnames, but people who have a real emotional bond with each other, people who can care about each other, miss each other, and never leave each other.

Whether it is blood relationship or surname, it is just an important link to strengthen this emotional bond, but it is not the only link.

From this perspective, you and Lili are my real family members, because we already have emotional bonds with each other.

Of course, I'm not saying that blood relationship and surname relationship are not important, but that compared to those, the inner emotional bond is the most important.

Since you appeared in my world, we have lived together for so long, and we already have feelings for each other.

I have already regarded you as my family, and of course I am reluctant to leave you.

So, if you also treat me as a family member, don't always be suspicious, worry about this and that, just tell me what's on your mind, and don't always let me guess.

Between family members, we have to be honest with each other, speak out what we have to say, and always keep our words hidden, so what kind of family is that, don’t you think? "

"I'm sorry." Qiao Simei bit her lips, "I'm just afraid of losing you, afraid that you think I'm making trouble for no reason, and afraid that you don't want me anymore."

"No." Cao Zhiqiang patted Qiao Simei on the shoulder again.

"As long as you still recognize me as an older brother, I will recognize you as my younger sister for a day.

As long as you still treat me as family, I will treat you as family.

So, Simei, stop worrying and being afraid. From the day you came to my house and recognized me as my elder brother, I already recognized you as my younger sister.

This has nothing to do with blood relationship or surname, it is purely a fate destined by heaven, the fate between you and me.

You think, if you and I are not destined, why can we be together when we are so far apart in Nanjing? "

"That's right." Qiao Simi nodded thoughtfully, "I just said, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, so it was because we were destined."

The corner of Cao Zhiqiang's mouth twitched, thinking, are you destined?You are purely looking at me for being handsome!You face control girl!

But when the words came to his lips, he said: "That's right, that's exactly it!

Because of fate, we can meet each other, and because of fate, we can know each other. Therefore, you and I are destined to be brothers and sisters in this life.

This is a fate arranged by God, even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in God, God is the biggest! "

"Yeah!" Qiao Simei laughed through tears, "Yes, God destined me to be your brother and sister, no, I still want to be your wife, is that okay?"

"Ahem, well, I'm afraid it won't work."

"why?"

"Well, you'll understand when you grow up."

"Why can't you understand it when you grow up, can't you tell me now?"

"Now that you are still young, you don't understand even if you tell me. Anyway, when you were my age, you understood, do you understand?"

"That's it, that's good, I will grow up quickly!"

"Okay, then you should eat less snacks and exercise more, study hard and sleep more, so that you can grow up quickly."

"Really?"

"necessary!"

"Then I'll listen to you!"

"Are you still worried or afraid?"

"No!"

"Then go back with me? By the way, apologize to someone? Be a good girl?"

"Okay, okay, but I can't run anymore, you carry me!"

"no problem!"
