Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 278 Do you know what is the fate of three lives?

Ever since Cao Zhiqiang ran with Qiao Simei all the way, and finally opened up his heart, accepted Qiao Simei's waywardness with tenderness and tolerance, Qiao Simei stopped crying all of a sudden, and regained his former liveliness.

Not only that, Qiao Simei also became less aggressive, as if she suddenly became sensible, and suddenly became well-behaved.

The most obvious place is when Cao Zhiqiang approached the courtyard with Qiao Simei on his back, Qiao Simei suddenly proposed to go back and apologize.

You know, Cao Zhiqiang originally agreed with Qiao Simei to take her back to the car, and then asked Zhang Jinjin to take her home first.

Now Qiao Simei asked not to go home first, but to go back to the courtyard to apologize, which is indeed a bit unexpected.

But since it was Qiao Simei who proposed it on his own initiative, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't refuse at this time, so he put Qiao Simei down at the gate of the courtyard, took her hand, and went back to the courtyard.

This was also what Qiao Simei requested, because she felt that there were too many people in the courtyard, and it would make people laugh if Cao Zhiqiang carried her back.

She said that she was not afraid of others laughing at herself, but she was afraid that others would laugh at her brother, which she could not allow, so let's get down and walk.

That's why Cao Zhiqiang put Qiao Simei down at the gate, and walked in together holding hands.

Of course, Zhang Qianjin also walked to the gate and went back.

In fact, when Cao Zhiqiang chased Qiao Simei out of the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Qianjin, who had been leaning on the car and smoking, saw it.

He didn't know what happened, but he knew that Cao Zhiqiang couldn't be allowed to run alone at night, so he followed without saying a word.

It's just that he followed Cao Zhiqiang far away, so Qiao Simei didn't know that he was following him.

But Cao Zhiqiang knew it, which is why Cao Zhiqiang dared to follow Qiao Simei so boldly at night.

Without him, he didn't follow Qiao Simei alone, there was Zhang Qianjin behind him, and he also knew that Zhang Qianjin carried an electric baton with him, and the electric baton was given by the factory security department, it was a serious source .

With Zhang Qianjin behind him, Cao Zhiqiang can naturally walk around the streets and alleys with girls in the capital in 1983 with confidence.

If Zhang Qianjin hadn't followed, he would have caught up with Qiao Simei a long time ago, and then he could not help but take her away. It is impossible to let her run ahead.

You must know that the domestic security at this time is not good, even the capital city is not much better.

For a beautiful little girl like Qiao Simi, it is actually very dangerous to walk alone at night at this time. Once she is bumped into by a trafficker, she will never return in all likelihood.

Even if there are no traffickers, wild dogs on the roadside are a great source of danger.

The fact is also the same. Qiao Simi was able to stop and wake up because of a stray dog.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Qiao Simi being Cao Lili's biological sister, everyone would have a little affection, and the key point is that she looks good, but Cao Zhiqiang wouldn't bother to talk to her if she was an outsider.

Although Cao Zhiqiang also knew that Qiao Simei's previous willfulness was actually due to fear and fear in her heart, and it was also because she had always had a sense of alienation from identity recognition, and because she was young, she was not very good at controlling emotions, so she was like this.

But this doesn't mean that Cao Zhiqiang likes such a wayward child who doesn't know the importance.

But what to do, Qiao Simei is not someone else's child, but a sister he knows, and after getting along for so long, he still has some feelings, so it's impossible to let her go.

As for Cao Zhiqiang's feelings for Qiao Simei, there must be no love, family affection, that's all there is to it, if you insist, it may be like raising a kitten and puppy to raise feelings.

Of course, this is just Cao Zhiqiang's self-spoofing, and of course it is more than that.

After all, people are emotional animals. After spending so long with Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, how could they really let go of Qiao Simei?

On the contrary, it was Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan, although they had some blood relationship with Cao Zhiqiang, but if they were really capricious, Cao Zhiqiang might not be used to it, or be too lazy to care about it.

This is Cao Zhiqiang's view of closeness and distance.

Perhaps, it is because Cao Zhiqiang is a time traveler, so his closeness and closeness are not the same as those of others.

To put it bluntly, he actually judges the relationship based on his personal preferences, and this personal preference, the weight of appearance must be very important.

Anyway, in the eyes of many people, Qiao Simei is a deadly person, but Cao Zhiqiang likes her very much and can tolerate her willfulness.

On the contrary, if Xia Wenfang, his niece, was so capricious, even if Cao Zhiqiang didn't slap her, he would probably stay away and leave her alone.

Cao Zhiqiang doesn't know why he is like this, the most fundamental reason may be that he is not the real predecessor Cao Zhiqiang, but a time traveler, so everything in this world is actually strange to him.

Since they are all strangers, the closest person to him is naturally the person he likes the most.

Among them, Cao Zhiqiang in the past, the most important person was naturally Cao Lili, and then Qiao Simei. Now, Gao Yuanyuan, no, Wu Qinghong's status is tied with Cao Lili, and then there are the two girls Qiao Simi and Jin Xiuying.

Only these few girls are the ones that Cao Zhiqiang values ​​the most, the others are just fine.

Don't look at Cao Jiajia and her two children, they are blood related to Cao Zhiqiang, but Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't have much feeling for her family.

The reason Cao Zhiqiang was willing to go all the way to Cao Jiajia's family before, and tried his best to bring Cao Jiajia's family back to the capital, although there are many reasons given, but fundamentally, it was out of a kind of repayment or obligation.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang has transmigrated into someone else's body now, so he can't just reap the benefits without taking responsibility.

I won't mention the benefits, it's an obligation, naturally I will take care of my predecessor's family.

It's a pity that Cao Zhiqiang's parents and grandparents are dead, so he can only find his sister who is far away in the southwest.

However, the responsibility belongs to the responsibility, and the repayment belongs to the repayment. It is absolutely false to say how much Cao Zhiqiang has feelings for his sister's family.

It's just these things, Cao Zhiqiang will not tell outsiders, and probably will never tell outsiders in his life.

In short, Qiao Simi and Cao Zhiqiang returned to the west courtyard of the courtyard.

After returning, without Cao Zhiqiang's words, Qiao Simei took the initiative to apologize to Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan.

According to Qiao Simei, she was the one who started making trouble for no reason, and there was nothing wrong with the siblings.

Now, in front of everyone, she sincerely apologized to them, begging them to forgive herself.

Now that Qiao Simi said so, and her attitude seemed very sincere, and her posture was very low, and there were adults such as mother and uncle present, Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan no longer cared, and they all forgave her with a smile.

That's right, child, as long as you are willing to admit your mistakes and give yourself face, how can there be any overnight hatred?You should be like an adult, you will hold grudges for a lifetime for a little thing.

Afterwards, Qiao Simi apologized to Cao Jiajia and Cao Lili respectively, saying that it was her fault that everyone did not eat well due to her own willfulness, and that it was all her fault, and she would admit to any punishment.

Qiao Simi has already said that, what else can Cao Lili say, she can only say a few words.

The same is true for Cao Jiajia. As the eldest sister who lives under the fence, she can't continue to hold on to this matter. She can only smile and say it's okay, and keep praising Qiao Simei for being beautiful and sensible, and then say It is my own child who is not sensible.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Qiao Simei told Xia's sister and brother to distinguish, saying that they really don't blame them, it's all their own problems, so Cao Jiajia must not punish them.

After hearing Qiao Simi say good things for her, Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan looked at her even better.

Xia Wenxuan, in particular, looked at Qiao Simi with crazy eyes, and only looked at Qiao Simi with a smirk.

There is no way, Qiao Simi's appearance, even among children, stands out from the crowd, she is so beautiful.

In short, Qiao Simi, the central figure in the incident, suddenly became so sensible, and her attitude was still so low, so everyone naturally had no conflicts at all and continued to enjoy themselves happily.

Of course, because of this incident, it is impossible to continue eating and drinking.

So not long after, Cao Zhiqiang took Cao Lili and Qiao Simei away from Xikuayuan with the excuse that it was late and the children had to go to bed early, ready to go home and sleep.

But what I didn't expect was that when I first came to the middle courtyard, I ran into He Yuzhu.

"Hey, Cao Zhiqiang, why don't you leave so soon? Don't you stay longer?" He Yuzhu came over to say hello with a smile on his own initiative.

"Uncle He." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, "It's getting late, my sister and I are both young, we have to go back early to rest, we still have things to do tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is Sunday, what can I do?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Why don't you sit with me for a while, let's drink tea and chat?"

"No, no, it's really something." Cao Zhiqiang refused with a smile, "Tomorrow, we have agreed to take them to the zoo, so we have to get up early."

"Oh, that's it, you have to go to bed early." He Yuzhu nodded.

"Uncle He, what's the matter?" Cao Zhiqiang asked with a smile.

"This..." He Yuzhu looked at Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, and hesitated to speak for a moment.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled, and immediately turned around and said, "Lili, Simei, wait for me here."

When Cao Lili and Qiao Simei both agreed, Cao Zhiqiang walked up to He Yuzhu and said, "Come on, let's talk over there."

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang and He Yuzhu came to the pool, then Cao Zhiqiang looked around and found that no one came, so he whispered: "Uncle He, there is no one now, so I can say it, but let me guess, you are Isn't it for the restaurant's business?"

"Hey, it's true!" He Yuzhu also lowered his voice, "When do you think the restaurant will open? Will it stop opening?"

"What's the rush?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Didn't you see all the places? You and I have signed the contract. Besides, how can I not open so much money?"

"That's true." He Yuzhu nodded, "I also know that's the reason, don't you feel anxious."

"Don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "The decoration is almost done, and it will open in early May. Just don't lose the chain by then."

"That can't be done!" He Yuzhu immediately said, "Others don't know about my situation, but you don't know about it? Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the food tonight. What do you think?"

"That's really good." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "If you can maintain this level, you will definitely be popular."

"That's for sure!" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "By the way, where did your bear's paw and hump come from? They don't look like domestic products?"

"Of course it's imported." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Why, you chef still cares about this?"

"It's not that I care about it." He Yuzhu said, "I'm afraid that your origin will be unknown, and that something will happen to you. After all, aren't we going to open a restaurant together soon? Of course I have to care about my partner."

After a pause, He Yuzhu said again: "I didn't say that, Cao Zhiqiang, I know you are capable, but sometimes you have to keep a low profile.

Just say this bear's paw hump, if you want to eat it, I can also salvage it for you. The domestic ones are no worse than the foreign ones.

And that monkey brain, you want to eat it, although it's a bit more troublesome, but I can get it for you, anyway, you're not short of money, are you?

But let’s import it from abroad. I heard that these things are currently not allowed to be imported. If you bring these things in, if something happens, it’s hard to explain. "

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "I know, that's why I'm looking for you, I didn't look for other cooks, just to try to keep your mouth shut.

In fact, what I didn't want was a friend, no, it was given to me by the leader as a gift, so you said the leader gave it to me, dare I not accept it? "

"The leader gave it to me, so I really can't refuse it." He Yuzhu nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Okay, I will pay attention to this matter in the future, as for the hotel, you don't have to worry about it.

At the beginning of May, no, to be precise, it is Labor Day on May [-]st, and it is guaranteed to open!
You just get ready and go be your own boss and chef. "

"Okay, that's it!" He Yuzhu smiled openly, "With your letter of approval, it will be done!"

After sending He Yuzhu away, Cao Zhiqiang brought Cao Lili and Qiao Simei back and left the courtyard.

On the way to leave, Cao Lili kept scolding Qiao Simi, saying that she was too self-willed and ignorant of manners, and that a good family dinner turned out to be like this.

At first, Qiao Simei just laughed and didn't refute, after all, she knew she was wrong.

But who knows, when Cao Lili said that she planned to let the eldest sister, that is, Cao Jiajia, officially adopt Qiao Simei, and then let Qiao Simei officially settle in the capital and stay in the capital to go to school, but Qiao Simei refused.

"Why?" Cao Zhiqiang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help turning around, "Why can't it work?"

Qiao Simei flattened her mouth: "I, I don't want to be a generation shorter than my sister!
Think about it, if I am adopted by Sister Cao, I will become her daughter, you will become my uncle, my sister will become my aunt, and then I will become Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan's sister?

No, no, absolutely no, even killing him! "

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What am I doing, it's just in name, for your convenience to stay here."

"That won't work either." Qiao Simei shook her head, "It's true in name, if it's true, I won't be laughed to death by the Xia family siblings? How will I see people in the future? Where will I save face? No, no, absolutely not!"

Cao Zhiqiang opened his mouth, then shook his head with a smile.

But thinking about it carefully, what Qiao Simei said was also right.

If Cao Jiajia really adopted Qiao Simei, the identity issue would be really funny.

Because once adopted by Cao Jiajia, Qiao Simi will become the adopted daughter of her elder sister, and Qiao Simi's biological sister, Cao Lili, is also her younger sister, so the relationship will be messed up.

It's fine if they don't get together often. The key point is that Cao Jiajia has moved to the capital now and lives in a courtyard house, which is a crowded place.

If outsiders know about it, they won't be laughed at.

The reason why Cao Zhiqiang wanted Cao Jiajia to adopt Qiao Simei was because Cao Zhiqiang's status and means were relatively poor at the time, and letting Cao Jiajia adopt Qiao Simei was the best way Cao Zhiqiang could think of at that time.

But it's different now.

At this time, at this time, Cao Zhiqiang is already the president and general manager of a state-owned publishing house, and the deputy director of the Third Industry Office of a large state-owned enterprise. Even if he can't be called a high-level official, he is definitely a person up.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Wu Qinghong and Qiao Simei, who have registered permanent residence in other places, can be arranged to enroll in the school separately, and this energy is very good.

After all, this is 21, not the [-]st century, and borrowing and reading is not so easy.

Of course, Qiao Simei is not the same as Wu Qinghong. The biggest difference is that Qiao Simei is a minor.

A minor must have a guardian, and where the guardian's household registration is, Qiao Simi's household registration is also there.

So if you want Qiao Simi to stay in the capital, you must either get her father over here, or find a local in the capital to adopt Qiao Simi.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't think about getting Qiao Simei's own father here. That's Qiao Zuwang, a proper scumbag, and Cao Zhiqiang had no interest in getting that scumbag here.

So there is only one way left, which is to continue to find a reliable adopter for Qiao Simei.

Since Cao Jiajia can't do it, then just find another reliable one.

As for finding someone to be Qiao Simi's adoptive parents, it's actually not difficult. If it's really impossible, you can ask Director Li for help.

Anyway, Qiao Simei can go to school now, and she has a tutor. The study is no longer so urgent, so she can take her time.

"Understood!" Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "Since you are not happy with Simei, then let's forget about it, and we will continue to look for it. In short, if someone wants to adopt Simei from our family, even if it is only in name Adoption, the adoptive parents must satisfy Simei yourself, how about it?"

"Yeah!" Qiao Simei nodded with a smile, "I knew you were the best for me, brother, so let's just agree! The adoptive parents must satisfy me, otherwise, I won't admit it!"

"Don't worry!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "You must find someone you agree with, and you must have some energy, a good family who can be your backing, ordinary people, even if you agree, I still don't agree."

"Hey." Qiao Simei smiled again, "Brother, you are so kind to me. It is my destiny to know you in this life."

"Ah, what nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Lili interrupted suddenly, "Where did you hear that? What is the fate of three lives, this is what my sister and brother can say?"

"Why not?" Qiao Simi snarled at Cao Lili, "My brother said, the encounter between me and him was destined, it was destined by heaven!

That brother is so good, one life is not enough, it must be the fate of my three lives! "

"Do you know what is the fate of three lives?" Cao Lili asked.

"Of course I understand." Qiao Simi said loudly, "Don't think I don't understand anything!

Isn't fate just the meaning of being able to meet each other?

As for the three lives, isn't that the last life, the previous life, the previous life?

Hmph, anyway, my fate with Brother Cao is destined by heaven, we are destined to meet and love each other in this life.

You wait, when I grow up and marry brother Cao, I will let you call me sister-in-law every day, to see how dare you bully me! "

"The tone is not small, I will sweep you first!" Cao Lili said, and went to squeak Qiao Simei, making Qiao Simei's smiling branches tremble and hide everywhere.

Seeing that Zhang Qianjin, who was in the driver's seat, couldn't hold back his sniggering, Cao Zhiqiang quickly turned around and said:

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, be quiet, and talk about it when you go home! Master Zhang is driving, don't be laughed at by you, and you will be in trouble if you have an accident."

Zhang Jinjin couldn't help laughing out loud at this moment: "Hehehe, President Cao, your sister is really interesting, hahaha, so interesting, hahahaha!"
