Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 285 Simei, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are!
Maybe he understood something, the meal was only halfway through, Chen Jiabang and Cao Zhiqiang didn't talk about adopting a child, Qiao Zuwang took the initiative to mention the adoption of Qiao Simei.

According to Qiao Zuwang, although he was reluctant to part with it, seeing that Chen Jiabang and his wife were so nice, they were at ease. At least Qiao Simi lived with them and would not be wronged.

But, there is no need to give money, and the saving is the same as selling children.

He only hoped that the Chen family would treat Qiao Simei well, and that he would be content to bring Qiao Simei back to see his real father during the holidays.

Not to mention, Qiao Zuwang's sudden words shocked Cao Zhiqiang.

Especially the other party's move of not asking for money made Cao Zhiqiang look at Qiao Zuwang with admiration.

It seems that although Qiao Zuwang is a bit of a scumbag, he still has a bottom line.

Thinking about it carefully, although Qiao Zuwang's actions are disdainful, from a realistic point of view, Qiao Zuwang is still a competent father.

At least, when the child was at Qiao's house, Qiao Zuwang didn't lack the child's food and drink, and didn't let the child not go to school.

Although Qiao Zuwang was always cursing, as long as the child wanted to go to school, he would do everything possible to provide for the child to go to school, unless the child didn't want to go to school.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Qiao Erqiang didn't study well and kept a grade. Didn't Qiao Zuwang also cut off his tuition fees?

That's right, during this period, children have to pay tuition fees to go to school, even elementary school. There is no such thing as free tuition fees. At most, tuition fees are not high, but wages are not high either.

Qiao Zuwang was alone, and had to support himself and five children. Even if one of the children was given to his sister-in-law to raise, it was still difficult to raise four children.

In this case, Qiao Zuwang in the original plot can still bring up several children without suffering too much grievance, which is actually okay.

Of course, Qiao Zuwang's scum cannot be washed away because of these things. After all, these things are what a father should do.

But no matter what, under the current circumstances, Qiao Zuwang did not open his mouth to sell Qiao Simi for a good price, which was beyond Cao Zhiqiang's expectation.

Because according to Cao Zhiqiang's idea, Qiao Zuwang will definitely ask the lion to open his mouth this time, at least two or 300 yuan.

For this, Cao Zhiqiang was already prepared. Even if the other party asked for 1000 yuan, Cao Zhiqiang planned to agree.

However, Cao Zhiqiang was well prepared on his side, but Qiao Zuwang put it down lightly and didn't want any money.

"Isn't this appropriate?" Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but speak.

"How inappropriate, it's so appropriate!" Qiao Zuwang said drunkenly, "I know, I'm useless and can't afford to raise children, but, but I'm not the kind of person who expects to sell my children to get rich.

I just want my child to live a better life, don't continue to suffer with me.

I can see that you are all good people. Sanli and Simei will not suffer if they follow you.

In this way, I am relieved. "

Speaking of this, Qiao Zuwang suddenly lay down on the table and began to cry. He didn't know whether it was from drinking too much or from the heart.

Seeing his situation, neither Cao Zhiqiang nor Chen Jiabang and his wife said anything, and just let Qiao Zuwang vent his emotions.

However, just when Qiao Zuwang started to cry, Cao Lili suddenly stood up and took Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei away, saying that she was going to let Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang go for a visit. The room where she and Sanli live.

Of course, this is only a cosmetic reason.

The real reason was that Cao Lili didn't want Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang, and Qiao Simei to see her father in a mess.

Although Cao Lili still hated her father Qiao Zuwang, she didn't want to see him make a fool of himself in front of others.

Because in Cao Lili's view, Qiao Zuwang's current appearance is completely an expression of incompetence.

If Cao Lili is still here, she will feel ashamed.

But she couldn't control Qiao Zuwang, and couldn't stop Qiao Zuwang from crying.

So, she simply didn't look at it, and she didn't let her brothers and sisters look at it. This is out of sight, out of mind.

Not to mention that Qiao Zuwang was still crying and shouting in the restaurant box with the strength of alcohol, telling how difficult it has been for him all these years.

Besides, when Cao Lili brought Qiao Simei, Qiao Yicheng, and Qiao Erqiang to the room she was currently living in, Qiao Erqiang was amazed immediately.

"Wow, isn't this place too luxurious?" Qiao Erqiang touched here and there, his eyes full of envy, "Sanli, Simei, you live here?"

"Of course!" Qiao Simei said with a sullen expression, "This is my sister's room, we each share a bed, you see, I'm in the bed by the window, and my sister is in the other bed.

By the way, there is also a bathtub here, with 24-hour hot water, you can take a hot bath anytime, come and see! "

After finishing speaking, Qiao Simei took Qiao Erqiang to the bathroom and showed Qiao Erqiang the white bathtub inside.

"Awesome!" Qiao Erqiang looked at the beautiful bathroom, especially the white bathtub, "It's amazing, you can live in such a place, I can't even imagine it."

Speaking of this, Qiao Erqiang praised: "Simei, it seems that your new parents are very rich and treat you very well. They can take care of you like this and are willing to give you such a good place to live."

"What?" Qiao Simei curled her lips and said, "Second brother, you don't understand. In fact, although Uncle Chen is a good person, he only adopted me in name. In fact, I am still at my brother's house, no, it is his. One of many, living with my sister."

"What is one of many families?" Qiao Erqiang asked suddenly.

Qiao Simei was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "That's right, my brother has many houses, not just one house, and my sister and I live in one of those houses, and it's in the school, so it's very convenient to go to and from school. There is no need to leave the school gate.”

"Oh, that's right." Qiao Erqiang nodded, "The brother you're talking about is Brother Cao, right? How many houses does he have?"

"Yes." Qiao Simi smiled, "Brother Cao is rich. He has a lot of houses and special cars. The imported cars are very beautiful."

"Simei." Qiao Yicheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "You said just now that Uncle Chen and the others adopted you in name only. What does that mean?"

Qiao Simei laughed and said, "What else could that mean? It's brother, ah, it was Brother Cao who found a reliable family to accept me in order to allow me to settle in the capital smoothly and go to school in a decent way. I am a foster daughter.

However, this is only a nominal adoption, the purpose is only to allow me to settle in the capital and be a decent native of the capital.

But in fact, I usually stay at Brother Cao’s house, living with my sister, and my food and clothing are all provided by Brother Cao.

By the way, there is something you don't know yet, right? "

Qiao Yicheng frowned: "I don't know what?"

Qiao Simei looked around and found that her sister Cao Lili was not in the bathroom, then whispered: "Big brother, second brother, since we are a family, I will not hide some things from you.

In fact, regardless of his young age, brother Cao is actually the president of the publishing house, the most powerful and richest person.

As for Uncle Chen, he is only the vice president, and he has to listen to Brother Cao.

Brother Cao is not only powerful, he can control many people, he is also rich, very rich.

Our travel expenses, accommodation expenses, and other expenses of course are all paid for by my brother.

By the way, you don't know, when we came, we came by plane!

It's the kind of big jet airliner, the very powerful one. "

"What, you guys came here by plane?" Qiao Erqiang was surprised again, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true!" Qiao Simei said cheerfully, "Is this still fake? When I was flying, the stewardess even gave me a souvenir. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Simei was going to get the so-called plane souvenir, but Qiao Yicheng stopped her.

"Don't go to Simei yet, I trust you." Qiao Yicheng shook his head.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Yicheng stared at Qiao Simei and asked, "Simei, tell me the truth, is what you just said true?"

"What's true?" Qiao Simei was taken aback.

Qiao Yicheng said again: "I'm asking, you said that Cao Zhiqiang is the president of the publishing house, and Uncle Chen has to listen to him. Then, Uncle Chen adopted you only in name, and you still live with Sanli. Brother Cao provides food and clothing, is it true?"

"Of course it's true!" Qiao Simei nodded, "Actually, when I first went to the capital, I lived at brother Cao's house and slept with my sister.

Not long after that, my brother got a new house in the school where my sister went to school, and took us to move there together.

Then, my brother bought a house outside and became the president of a publishing house.

After that, he rarely came back, and my sister and I lived in that house.

But soon, my brother found a beautiful big sister from the university, she is a female college student, she seems to be from Nanjing.

Well, my brother found this big sister to live with us. She usually helps my sister and me with homework, and also helps us cook and wash clothes. She is very kind to us.

What's more, the elder brother gave back the money to the elder sister. I don't know the exact amount, but it was quite a lot anyway.

By the way, my sister and I also have pocket money, but I can't manage that money, it's all my sister.

Do you know how much my sister's pocket money is for a month?

You definitely can't think of it!

Let me tell you, my sister's monthly pocket money is 500 yuan!

Not 50 yuan, but a full 500 yuan! "

"What? 500 yuan?" Qiao Erqiang couldn't help but said, "Is it fake? How is it possible? Five yuan is about the same."

"Hmph!" Qiao Si rolled his eyes at Qiao Erqiang, showing a strange and ignorant look.

"Second brother, am I lying to you?" Qiao Simi said, "Do you think I can't count and can make a mistake about the difference between five yuan and five hundred yuan?
It was real 500 yuan, and I was there when my brother gave the money.

Of course, the 500 yuan is not only pocket money, but also household, such as buying vegetables, meat and clothes, but it doesn't cost much.

In fact, my brother would bring meat and fruit from time to time, and the family couldn't finish eating. Most of them were given to sister Xiang, who was our tutor, and brought them back to school to distribute to classmates.

Also, my brother paid for tuition, and my brother always bought us clothes, shoes and socks, which caused my sister to always complain that my brother was spending too much money.

Anyway, my sister's monthly pocket money of 500 yuan can hardly be spent. She saves it carefully, saying that she will use it in the future.

Hmph, if you ask me, my brother is so rich that he doesn't care about the hundreds of dollars. My sister is too stingy, and she doesn't spend it even though she has money. I don't even want to buy a new dress. "

Upon hearing this, Qiao Erqiang stopped talking, and looked at each other with his elder brother Qiao Yicheng.

After taking a deep breath, Qiao Erqiang asked, "Simei, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true." Qiao Simei nodded, "I've seen it with my own eyes and experienced it with my own eyes. Can it be true?"

"He's not very old, so where did he get so much money?" Qiao Yicheng asked with a frown, "Could it be left to him by his parents? If this goes on like this, sooner or later it will all be lost."

"That's not true." Qiao Simi shook her head, "Brother Cao's parents didn't leave much money to Brother Cao, and Brother Cao's current career, as well as his money, are all earned by Brother Cao himself.

Don't you know, Brother Cao was a famous poet before, and a poem can sell a lot of money.

Later, it seems that I heard that I was appreciated by some big leader, and then I gave Brother Cao a chance to become the general manager and vice president of the publishing house.

Then, for some reason, my brother became the president of the company again, and became the top leader.

That Uncle Chen, my future adoptive father, is just brother Cao's subordinate.

He followed my elder brother Cao's order before adopting me.

Because Brother Cao is not eligible to adopt me, only Uncle Chen is eligible.

So, even if I'm adopted, I don't need to be separated from my sister, I still live in my sister's house.

By the way, brother Cao also said that when my sister grows up, if she doesn't dislike her, the house will be left to her.

Then I live with my sister, what should I worry about? "

At this moment, Cao Lili suddenly appeared at the door of the toilet: "Ah, why are you still here? Is the toilet so beautiful? You can't come out after staying in it?"

"Sister!" Qiao Simei said with a smile, "I told you that you have 500 yuan pocket money every month, but they didn't believe it. Tell your eldest brother and second brother, is it true?"

Cao Lili frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Qiao Simei flattened her mouth: "It's not that you can't say it, why don't you say it if you come from an aboveboard? Besides, I didn't tell outsiders, I told my elder brother and second brother, can't they say it too?"

Qiao Yicheng looked at Cao Lili who was frowning tightly: "Sanli, what Simei said is true? Do you really have pocket money of 500 yuan a month? All, all from that elder brother Cao? "

Cao Lili frowned and looked at Qiao Yicheng, then at Qiao Simei, and finally looked at Qiao Yicheng again, and nodded: "Well, it's true."

Qiao Yicheng frowned again: "He spends so much money, is it the right way? Where did he get so much money?"

Cao Lili said: "He earns his money by writing books, and it's all manuscript fees. There is absolutely no problem with the source."

"Writing a book?" Qiao Yicheng frowned, "Writing a book can make you so much money?"

"I don't think so." Cao Lili shook her head, "No one else earns as much from writing books. He is a famous poet, and it seems that many people like his poems. It is said that the big leaders also like his poems, so they let him be published. Society leadership.

Well, after he became the leader of the publishing house, it is said that he has done a good job, and he has made a career in a short period of time.

Because of this, he quickly changed from vice president to president.

Anyway, that's all I know. "

After a pause, Cao Lili added: "Brother, I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, I have spent the longest time with Brother Cao, and I know him better.

Although he seemed a little unreliable in the past, he has completely changed since Mama Lin passed away.

Now brother Cao, I don’t even know him anymore, but one thing is, he treats me and Simei very well, he really treats me as his own, treats us like his own sister, and never shorts us for anything, yes We love it too.

What's more, Brother Cao's everything was typed out bit by bit with his own ability, not given by others.

In short, brother Cao is a capable person, as if he was born to do great things.

You don't have to worry about him treating us badly, and you don't have to worry about his money coming from the wrong way.

In terms of self-discipline, Brother Cao is more aware than anyone else. Anyway, as long as it is illegal, he never does it.

So, big brother and second brother, you really don't have to worry about me and Simei.

After Simei and I return to the capital, we will only live a good life and will not treat her badly. "

"I see." Qiao Yicheng lowered his head and squinted his eyes to look at the floor tiles, "It seems that Brother Cao is your real adoptive father."

Cao Lili nodded: "Although it doesn't sound good to say that, it's the truth.

Brother Cao paid for all the food, clothing, housing and transportation for Simei and I in the capital.

He not only contributes money, but also contributes. For example, he borrowed for Simei to go to school before, and it was Brother Cao who found a relationship to operate.

Although he is not my elder brother, he really has nothing to say about what he did to me and Simei.

So brother, you really don’t have to worry, brother Cao is really a good person, he really treats us very well, and he won’t treat us badly. "

Qiao Yicheng nodded thoughtfully, then raised his head again, and smiled at Cao Lili: "Well, since you said so, of course I believe you."

"Thank you, brother." Cao Lili smiled slightly, "Don't worry, brother, if you miss me and Simei, you can write or call me!

Then, when the holiday is over, I will definitely ask brother Cao to help me find a way to bring my sister and me back to see you.

Don't worry, although the distance from the capital to Nanjing is quite far, it is difficult for others, but for Brother Cao, this distance is not a problem at all. "

"Yes, yes!" Qiao Simei said with a smile, "The flight is very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive, and there is something to eat and drink, which is very comfortable."

"By plane?" Qiao Erqiang said, "It's impossible to fly every time, right? It's so expensive."

Qiao Simei pouted and said, "Hmph, brother Cao said, flying by plane is no different to taking three rounds for him. It's not expensive at all. I'm afraid the price of an air ticket is not as good as a meal for him."

"So powerful?" Qiao Erqiang was dumbfounded.

"Okay, okay!" Cao Lili interrupted Qiao Simei's show off, "Stop showing off, it's because brother Cao loves us, it doesn't mean it's what you deserve, stop showing off, it's shameful .”

"Hehe." Qiao Yicheng smiled slightly, "No matter what, he treats you very well and can make you live a good life, that's good, that's good."

"Oh, what a pity." Qiao Simei sighed.

"It's a pity that the eldest brother and the second brother can't live with us. It would be great if we can still live together. In that case, we don't have to be separated, and we can live a good life in the capital. We don't have to drink alcohol every day like in the past. Porridge and noodles."

"Stop talking!" Cao Lili glared at Qiao Simei, "Simei, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are!

Come on, come out with me, don't stay in the toilet all the time, what are you talking about?

Let's all go out, let's go out for sodas. "

Qiao Simi made a face, and finally kept silent, and followed Cao Lili out of the bathroom.

And Qiao Erqiang also went out quickly, waiting to drink the soda that Cao Lili said.

On the contrary, Qiao Yicheng didn't leave the toilet immediately, but narrowed his eyes and looked at the exquisite bathtub again.

"Continue to live together? It sounds like it's pretty good."
