Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 283 The more you are in a difficult situation, the more you must learn to be flexible

After hearing Qiao Simei's voice, two young men, one tall and one short, stood out in the yard.

"Brother?" The shorter boy asked the taller boy with a puzzled expression, "I think I heard Simei's voice."

The tall boy frowned: "Don't talk!"

Just after saying this, Qiao Simei in a yellow dress appeared at the door.

As soon as he saw Qiao Simei, the short boy ran over excitedly and hugged Qiao Simei: "Simei, you are back, I miss you so much!"

"Second brother!" Qiao Simei hugged her second brother with a smile, "I miss you too!"

The tallest boy hurried over at this moment: "Simei, you, are you really back?"

"Brother!" Qiao Simei let go of her second brother and nodded to the tall boy, "I'm back, really back!"

At this moment, a sloppy middle-aged man walked out of the back room: "What's the matter, what's the noise outside?"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man was taken aback, and said to Qiao Simei: "Simei? You, you are back? How did you come back?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Qiao Simei stood aside a bit restrained: "Dad, I, my sister and brother sent me back. By the way, my sister is back too!"

Just after finishing this sentence, Cao Lili's voice was suddenly heard: "Brother and Brother, long time no see."

Everyone followed the sound, and they happened to see Cao Lili, who was also dressed in an off-white sweater and dark blue bell-bottom pants, who was also very western.

"Sanli?" The short boy who was called the second brother ran over quickly, but he didn't dare to hug him for a while, because Qiao Sanli, no, it was Cao Lili who wore more foreign and expensive clothes, and was also taller. There are so many that Qiao Erqiang dare not hug casually.

It was Cao Lili who took the initiative to hug her second brother: "Second brother, long time no see, I miss you so much."

"I miss you too, Sanli!" Qiao Erqiang nodded excitedly at this moment, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Sanli?" The middle-aged man, that is, Qiao Zuwang was even more surprised at this time, "You, you are back too? You are not, not..."

Cao Lili glanced at Qiao Zu coldly, did not speak, instead looked at her elder brother, smiled slightly and said, "Brother, long time no see, you have lost weight."

Qiao Yicheng, the eldest brother called by Cao Lili, took a deep breath: "Sanli, it's really you, and Simei, you guys, are you all back?"

Just as Cao Lili was about to speak, three more people walked up behind them, but they didn't enter the door. They just watched their family reunion outside the door.

Needless to say, these three people are naturally Cao Zhiqiang and Chen Jiabang and his wife.

Although they didn't enter the door, these three people who were very expensively dressed stood at the door of Qiao's house together, and Qiao Simi and Qiao Sanli both came back, the fool also knew that something was wrong.

"Third sister." Eldest brother Qiao Yicheng looked at the three and asked Cao Lili, "Who are they?"

"Oh, let me introduce." Cao Lili turned sideways quickly, "This is my brother, righteous brother, and Cao Zhiqiang, and the two behind are Uncle Chen and his lover, Aunt Zhao. They... Uncle Chen is from Beijing Hongguang Publishing House. Vice President."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zuwang straightened his collar and straightened his hair, then walked over with a smile, "Oh, honored guest!"

Speaking of this, Qiao Zuwang had already walked up to Chen Jiabang, and stretched out his hand: "President Chen, right? Your presence is so glorious!"

Chen Jiabang smiled, handed what was in his right hand to his left hand, and then shook hands with the other party: "You're welcome."

"Don't stand here." Qiao Zuwang said with a smile, "Come, come in, let's chat."

After hearing what Qiao Zuwang said, Cao Zhiqiang and Chen Jiabang looked at each other and nodded.

After that, Chen Jiabang entered the house with his wife and Qiao Zuwang, while Cao Zhiqiang stayed behind and stood in the yard with Cao Lili and the others.

This is what Cao Zhiqiang agreed with Chen Jiabang from the very beginning.

Although in fact, Cao Zhiqiang's status is actually the highest, but with his age, it can be seen that he is a young man at a glance.

So, if we get here, Cao Zhiqiang is still the main one, and it is easy to make people suspect that they are liars.

After all, the 19-year-old president of a state-owned enterprise publishing house has never been heard of, anyway, he has never heard of it here in Nanjing.

Cao Zhiqiang and Qiao Zuwang are not familiar with each other, so rashly saying this will only cause more unnecessary troubles.

It's better to let Chen Jiabang decide directly.

Anyway, Chen Jiabang's identity as the vice president is real, and he brought his work permit, business card, household registration book, etc. that can prove his identity.

Moreover, Chen Jiabang has been the secretary of the factory director for more than ten years, and he has a good way of dealing with people and things, and he has an official authority. These are things that Cao Zhiqiang does not possess for the time being.

Therefore, it is more appropriate for Chen Jiabang and his wife to deal with the snobby Qiao Zuwang.

On the contrary, Cao Zhiqiang, it would be better to simply follow along as Cao Lili's brother-in-law.

In this way, he would have a lot to talk to Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang.

That's right, from Cao Zhiqiang's point of view, although Qiao Zuwang is a good-for-nothing and a scumbag, Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang are actually pretty good.

And their cousin Qi Weimin is a talent.

Although Cao Zhiqiang didn't think of taking them into his pocket now, he was Cao Lili's and Qiao Simei's brothers anyway, and since they're here, it's time to communicate more.

"You are Qiao Yicheng, right?" Cao Zhiqiang walked up to Qiao Yicheng, "I often hear Lili talk about you, you are indeed a good-looking talent."

Qiao Yicheng looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a straight face, and said in a deep voice after three seconds, "Are you Sanli's new big brother in the capital?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to extend his right hand: "Come on, it's the first time we meet, let's shake hands."

Qiao Yicheng looked at Cao Zhiqiang's outstretched right hand, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook Cao Zhiqiang's hand.

After shaking hands, Cao Zhiqiang walked up to Qiao Erqiang again: "You should be Qiao Erqiang, right?"

Qiao Erqiang nodded blankly: "Yes, I am."

"Come on, let's shake hands when we meet for the first time." Cao Zhiqiang also smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Unlike Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang quickly reached out and shook hands with Cao Zhiqiang.

After shaking hands with Qiao Erqiang, Cao Zhiqiang looked around and found that Cao Lili and Qiao Simei had already stood beside him automatically, forming two factions with Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Yicheng who were opposite.

Seeing the situation, Cao Zhiqiang smiled, and then said to Qiao Yicheng: "Don't be so wary of me, I didn't mean to come here this time, I just went back and forth with them to see you.

Although Lili's surname is now Cao, she can be regarded as a member of our Cao family, but it doesn't mean that she has broken ties with you.

Let me tell you, this is a new era.

The so-called newcomers, new things, and new countries don't need to pay too much attention to names, family status, and the like.

Anyway, you are the eldest brother of Lili and Simei, this will not change, and I never thought of making them deny you.

That being the case, we don't have any fundamental conflicts. In layman's terms, we are considered a family. Why do you think of me like this? "

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Qiao Yicheng let out his breath, smiled forcefully and said, "I'm sorry, I, I, I just don't know how to get along with you for a while, by the way, what's your name?"

"Cao Zhiqiang." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Cao Cao's Cao is ambitious and strong."

"Huh?" Qiao Erqiang suddenly said, "Brother Cao, you have the same name as my uncle, and my uncle is also called Zhiqiang."

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang said with a chuckle, "What a coincidence."

At this moment, Qiao Yicheng came to Qiao Simei, bowed his head solemnly and said, "Simei, do you still know to come back?"

Qiao Simei pursed her lips, then subconsciously got behind Cao Zhiqiang, and said to Qiao Yicheng with only one head exposed: "Brother, I, I just miss my sister, just go and see her."

"Did you peek at Sanli's letter to me?" Qiao Yicheng asked Qiao Simei with a livid face.

Qiao Simi nodded.

Qiao Yicheng stared straight at Qiao Simei for a while, then sighed: "You want to see my sister, why didn't you tell me how dangerous it is to run away by yourself? You are so young, What if you are abducted by human traffickers?"

"Don't be afraid!" Qiao Simei said hilariously, "I'm taking the train, and I'm escorted by the police uncle all the way, so I'm not afraid."

Qiao Yicheng shook his head, then looked at Cao Zhiqiang again: "You..."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled immediately: "It doesn't matter, you can just call me by my name, Cao Zhiqiang, or you can call me Brother Cao, after all, I am much older than you."

Qiao Yicheng nodded: "Brother Cao, thank you for sending them back, especially Simei, she, she must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

"No." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I like Simei very much. I have already recognized her as my god-sister. She didn't cause me any trouble. She is a very obedient child."

"Exactly!" Qiao Simei said immediately, "Brother, don't talk nonsense, I have always been very obedient."

Qiao Yicheng glared at Qiao Simei again, and then said to Cao Zhiqiang again: "No matter what, I still want to thank you, but unfortunately we are poor, and I probably can't give you any thank you gifts, which makes you laugh."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I didn't come here for this."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang looked around the room, and then said softly: "Qiao Yicheng, I know you are a very independent person, and you also care about your younger brothers and sisters at home. I will not hide some things from you. up.

In fact, when I came this time, I really brought Lili and Simei back to see you, so as not to let anything happen to them.

Second, I actually want to discuss with your father about formally adopting Simei. "

"What? Adopt Simei?" Qiao was taken aback, "You, you..."

"Don't worry, listen to me first." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "It's not me, I'm not qualified to adopt Qiao Simei, of course, if I am qualified, I will definitely adopt her.

In fact, it was the couple just now who wanted to adopt Simei.

However, you don't have to worry about their family and character, I can guarantee it.

What about the two people who are talking to your father, the male is surnamed Chen, he is the secretary of the factory director of a large state-owned enterprise in Beijing, and also the vice president of the publishing house, and the female is his lover.

Vice President Chen already has a son, but because of policy factors, he can't have another son, but they always wanted a daughter, and Qiao Simi happened to fall into their eyes.

I work in the same unit as Vice President Chen. I know his character very well, and he is openly good in our place.

Moreover, their family is also very good, not short of money, and their social status is also high, just a thin line away from high-ranking officials.

If Qiao Simi were to be their daughter, she would definitely get a better life and treatment.

By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention.

It was the days when Simei lived in my country, and she did not delay her studies.

As for me... our Vice President Chen helped find a relationship so that Qiao Simi's school in the capital, which is Lili's current elementary school, could go to school there as a student on loan.

At present, Simei has already gone to school in that primary school in the capital city, and lives nearby, in the building of the teacher's family. It is very convenient to go to and from school, and her academic performance has improved a lot.

I know you hate Simei, but you have to understand, if Simei stays here, do you think she can get a better education and a better life?

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about your father, can you guarantee that when your father is short of money, he will not sell Simei again?

I'm Lili's foster brother, we've been together for a while, and we know each other well.

If I have any questions, Lili and Simei will definitely know.

And I know the background of Vice President Chen very well, so everyone can rest assured that Vice President Chen adopts Simei because everyone knows the background.

At the very least, Vice President Chen has a high social status and has a wide range of friends, so he will come to Nanjing for business trips from time to time in the future.

If he comes here on a business trip, he can bring Simei and Sanli to see you by the way, or even take you to the capital to see them when you grow up, that's not a problem.

If President Chen and his wife fail to adopt Simei this time, and Simei has to stay on, then in case your father is upset someday, or is short of money again, sell Simei to someone who doesn't know the background, and eventually At that time, can you feel at ease? "

After hearing Cao Zhiqiang's words, Qiao Yicheng bit his lip and said nothing, and clenched his fists tightly.

Seeing his appearance, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Yicheng, the reason why I tell you this is because you and I are the same kind of people.

You know, my situation is actually not much better than yours.

Both my parents passed away one after another, and I had to rely on me to support the family.

Fortunately, when my mother left, I was already an adult, and I was able to replace my mother's length of service and work in a state-owned enterprise factory. In addition to a coincidence and a little ability, I was able to get to this point. Let Lili and me, and of course four Beauty, live a good life.

As for you, I have heard that you lost your mother a long time ago. Although you still have a father, what about your father, haha.

In short, I know that you have been the one who has been trying to maintain this home for a long time, so you should know the trade-offs.

In other words, I have never treated you as a child just because you are younger than me and underage.

On the contrary, I know that you are a very responsible person, you know what to do for yourself, and of course what is best for your younger siblings.

So I also believe that you will make the right response, right? "

Qiao Yicheng pursed his lips and squinted at Cao Zhiqiang: "What do you mean by telling me this?"

"What do you think it means?" Cao Zhiqiang asked back with a smile.

Qiao Yicheng pursed his lips again, and then said, "You want me to help you and persuade my dad to agree to let that Chen, President Chen's family, adopt Simei?"

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Actually, based on your father's character, as well as President Chen's status and wealth, I guess your father will agree.

As long as your father agrees, it doesn't really matter whether you agree or not.

However, I still want you to understand that we do this for the good of Qiao Si and for your own good.

If Qiao Simi is adopted by President Chen, not only will you get a better life, but you will also be able to reduce your burden.

At the same time, President Chen can travel at public expense due to his status and work. Even if you are separated from the north and the south, you still have the opportunity to meet frequently, and you won't lose sight of people after being sent out.

In other words, I don't want the matter of adopting Qiao Simi to make you feel bad, or make you hate us.

You know, we are not your enemy, and certainly not your benefactor, but a person who can help you.

I also got out of the predicament, and even the predicament I faced at that time was ten times more dangerous than your current situation!
You know, when my mother died a few months ago, no one could help me but myself.

It was me, who went to the unit where my mother worked alone, knelt down and cried in front of the factory manager, and got the job and a subsidy from the factory.

It is by this method that I got out of the predicament, and then slowly seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation.

So I know very well that this person, the more difficult he is, the more he must learn to be flexible.

Don't lose your due calmness and judgment for the sake of temporary face and dignity.

You are a wise man, I am sure you will make the right judgment, am I right?
Qiao Yicheng? "
