Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 535 Brothers and sisters who kiss each other must also know how to measure
"Brother, brother, I heard that you are going to Japan again? When are you going? Can you take me with you?"

Hearing Qiao Simi's series of questions, Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a while, before he could decide how to answer, Cao Lili next to him objected with a stern face: "What are you talking about, my brother is going to do something important, something important , not to play, and besides, you still have to go to school, how can you have time to go?"

Qiao Simei pouted and said, "Can I ask for a leave of absence?"

"What are you asking for?" Cao Lili continued to scold her own sister with a straight face, "Your homework has finally reached the middle level, and if you ask for leave again, after so many classes, you will definitely be at the bottom again. How can this work?"

"Then I can come back to make up lessons." Qiao Simei looked at Cao Lili with wide eyes.

"Remedial class?" Cao Lili curled her lips, "I want you to make up a class. Either it hurts here or there, it's uncomfortable here, or it's uncomfortable here. I don't believe you anyway."

Qiao Simei pursed her lips, turned her head to look at Cao Zhiqiang, and kept coquettishly saying, "Brother, brother, look at my sister, she bullies me again! This time, tell me about her and agree to take me to Japan, okay?"

I don't need to go too much, just three, just one week, I will only go for one week, and I won't miss much homework.

When I come back from Japan, I must study hard, make up for the missed homework, and ensure that the test scores are among the top [-], okay? "

At this moment, Cao Lili suddenly put down her chopsticks, looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a serious face and said, "Brother, let me make a statement first, this time, no matter what, you can't spoil Simei anymore!
She is still a child and has very poor self-control. If you keep getting used to it like this, she will really be useless! "

Qiao Simei rolled her eyes and said to Cao Zhiqiang quickly: "Brother, why don't you go to Japan with Sister Dongfang this time! If that's the case, she can teach me my homework over there, so I can do my homework on the sidelines." Play, don’t worry about missing homework.”

Speaking of this, Qiao Simei turned her head to look at Xiang Dongfang who just smiled and ate, but didn't interrupt much: "Sister Dongfang, don't you know Japanese, go to Japan together, and you can teach me some Japanese!"

"Qiao Simi!" Cao Lili stared at Qiao Simi, "You are enough, don't push yourself!"

Seeing that Cao Lili was angry, Cao Zhiqiang quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, stop arguing and have a good meal. Why do you start arguing over a trivial matter?"

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said to Qiao Simei: "Simei, I am going to Japan this time, it is indeed a business matter, not many personal matters, it is not appropriate to take you there, because I don't have time to play around with you.

And what your sister said is right, you are in school now, so you can't miss your homework.

How about this, when you are on winter vacation, I will take you to Japan to soak in hot springs, go skiing, and have a good time, how about it? "

Qiao Simei blinked and said, "Really?"

"Of course it is true." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "But there is a prerequisite, that is, in the final exam before the winter vacation, you must be in the top [-] in the class. If you can do it, I will take you there. If you can't, then it's considered gone."

"Top twenty?" Qiao Simei immediately frowned, "It's too difficult."

"What's the problem?" Cao Zhiqiang said, "Look at your sister, she used to be in a class of more than 30, but now she's ranked No. 8 in the quiz."

Upon hearing this, Cao Lili quickly said: "That's thanks to Dongfang sister's good teaching. If she didn't give me extra lessons day and night, and taught me a lot of tricks, I wouldn't be able to improve so fast. So brother, You have to thank people well, and you have to give some gifts anyway."

When Cao Zhiqiang heard this, he quickly raised a cup of tea, and said to Xiang Dongfang: "Dongfang, my sister is right, thanks to your help, my two sisters can make great progress in their grades, and now I'm here to thank you with tea instead of wine. "

Xiang Dongfang also quickly raised his teacup: "President, you killed me. I should have done this. After all, you let me live in such a good house and didn't charge me rent. I should be thankful."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled, shook his head and stood up: "Dongfang, your words are too polite, in fact, I wanted to thank you a long time ago, but I just never had the chance.

After all, you not only gave Lili and Simei extra lessons, but also helped my girlfriend Qinghong a lot.

Qing Hong kept telling me that she wanted me to thank you very much. After all, you helped her a lot. Without you, she would not be able to keep up with the progress of college.

It's just that she has to study by herself at night, so she can't come over to have dinner with us.

But it's okay, I'll thank you on her behalf first, and it's the same if she thanks you alone later. "

Xiang Dongfang stood up and said, "It's really unnecessary."

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Hey, if you continue to evade, you are looking down on me. Besides, this is not wine, it's just tea. Come on, let's touch one first."

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Xiang Dongfang had no choice but to clink the teacups with Cao Zhiqiang, but when they clinked the glasses, they deliberately lowered the rim of the cup than Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't force it, he clinked glasses with the other party, drank each other's cups of tea, and then sat down again.

After Xiang Dongfang also sat down, Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Dongfang, don't be cautious. As I said, this is a private family banquet, and everyone is old friends, so don't be cautious."

Xiang Dongfang chuckled, but sat on the side in a respectful manner.

Seeing her like this, Cao Zhiqiang secretly sighed, and said nothing more.

I thought that this second generation official would be as free and easy as before, but who knew that she was so reserved with herself now, which was a bit beyond Cao Zhiqiang's expectations.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang didn't think about it anymore. After all, this time it was really just a family dinner, and the only ones eating together were him, Cao Lili, Qiao Simei and Xiang Dongfang.

There should have been Wu Qinghong, but Wu Qinghong had classes at night, so she didn't come.

As for why he ate this meal, it was mainly because he listened to Wu Qinghong's suggestion and came here to thank Xiang Dongfang.

Because Cao Zhiqiang heard from Wu Qinghong that during this period of time, after Xiang Dongfang came back from get off work, he not only had to make up lessons for Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, but also for Wu Qinghong. He was often busy until late at night.

That's all, the key item Dongfang's remedial lessons are very efficient, basically answering every question, and they are very patient.

Leaving aside the situation of Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, at least Wu Qinghong herself feels that she has benefited a lot.

Wu Qinghong's original academic foundation was not enough, and she was able to enter the university because of Cao Zhiqiang's cheating.

So, once she entered college, Wu Qinghong soon felt strenuous, but it was only the first half of her freshman year.

In order to catch up with the schedule and not to miss school, Cao Zhiqiang recommended Xiang Dongfang to Wu Qinghong as Wu Qinghong's tutor.

After Wu Qinghong tried it, she immediately felt Xiang Dongfang's ability, so in order to catch up with her study progress and increase the efficiency of making up lessons, she simply moved out of her courtyard and lived with Xiang Dongfang.

And Xiang Dongfang lived with Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, so after Wu Qinghong came over, he could also increase his relationship with the two future sister-in-laws, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

To be honest, at the beginning, Wu Qinghong was a little inferior and worried. After all, she found that she was not as talented as Xiang Dongfang, and Xiang Dongfang was also Cao Zhiqiang's personal secretary. Theoretically, the contact time between the two would be longer than her. I am afraid that Cao Zhiqiang will empathize with another.

After all, compared with Xiang Dongfang, Wu Qinghong felt that she was inferior everywhere.

Fortunately, Gu Zhenzhen enlightened Wu Qinghong in time, told Wu Qinghong her strengths and weaknesses, and taught her how to do it.

According to Gu Zhenzhen, since the knowledge and temperament cannot be compared, then the heart is more important.

Just like those original wives in ancient times, maybe they are not as talented and beautiful as concubines, but as long as they are not jealous and generous enough, they can still hold a man's heart.

In other words, it is to tell Wu Qinghong not to compete with other women in what she is not good at, but to give full play to her own advantages.

What is Wu Qinghong's advantage, that is, she was the first girlfriend with Cao Zhiqiang, and was officially recognized by Cao Zhiqiang.

As long as Wu Qinghong doesn't do anything wrong and doesn't make Cao Zhiqiang hate her, then she will have a first-mover advantage and have a very important place in Cao Zhiqiang's heart.

As for other women, since they can't be stopped or compared, then they simply don't compare and show an open and inclusive attitude.

The more this is the case, the more it will make men feel guilty, and it will also make other women feel guilty, but they will be able to maintain their status.

Wu Qinghong had no choice but to adopt this method, and tried it out on Yu Yuanyuan, and the results were remarkable.

Not only that, Wu Qinghong also talked to Xiang Dongfang in private, and made it clear that she did not object to Xiang Dongfang liking Cao Zhiqiang, and also expressed that she did not object to Xiang Dongfang being close to Cao Zhiqiang. She's fine here.

It was these remarks that frightened Xiang Dongfang and made Xiang Dongfang feel awkward.

You must know that although Xiang Dongfang has a good impression of Cao Zhiqiang, it is just a kind of admiration and love for finding the same kind.

After all, Xiang Dongfang himself is a genius, and she thinks that Cao Zhiqiang is also a genius, so talking with a genius will feel very relaxed and have a lot of common topics.

Unlike chatting with other vulgar ordinary people, Xiang Dongfang always feels very painful.

However, no matter how comfortable it is to be with Cao Zhiqiang, there is still pride in his bones.

Let Xiang Dongfang be the mistress, and even compete with other women for a man's favor, which she can't do.

Therefore, Xiang Dongfang not only repeatedly told Wu Qinghong that she didn't have that idea, and that she and Cao Zhiqiang were just in a normal working relationship, but also wanted to find an opportunity to discuss the situation with Cao Zhiqiang.

She had never had a chance before, but now, she seems to have found a chance.

"President Cao." Xiang Dongfang said suddenly after considering his voice, "That's right, I recently found a new house, which is quite nice, so I want to move out soon, and I want to tell you."

"New house? Move out?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback, "Dongfang, what's the matter, are you not satisfied with the original house?"

"Yes, Sister Dongfang." Cao Lili followed suit, "Is there something wrong with us? Or do you think we are too annoying?"

"Not at all." Xiang Dongfang chuckled, "It's just that, thanks to President Cao, my income is not bad recently, so I want to rent a house alone and have a separate space."

Speaking of this, Xiang Dongfang looked at Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, smiled slightly and said, "I'm not saying it's bad to live with you, or I don't like you, I find you annoying, but sometimes, my sister also wants A place to be alone, where you can rest well by yourself.”

"Ah, I understand!" Qiao Simei said suddenly, "Sometimes, I also want a space where I can be alone, a place where no one is around. I can understand Sister Dongfang's thoughts and empathize with her!"

After glaring at Qiao Simei, Cao Lili turned to Xiang Dongfang: "Sister Dongfang, you really didn't move out because you hated us?"

"Really not." Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly, "I like you very much, but you don't have to be together all the time, a little distance from each other, a little space, it might be better, don't you think?"

"Then will you come to help us with homework?" Cao Lili asked.

"Of course." Xiang Dongfang smiled, "The house I rent is not far from your home, and I will go to make up lessons for you every night, and I will go back after the make up lessons."

"It's not good." Cao Zhiqiang said suddenly, "Although crimes are being cracked down everywhere now, it's still not safe for a girl like you to walk around at night every day."

"It's okay." Xiang Dongfang said with a smile, "I basically take the road, it's okay."

Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his chin, stood up suddenly and said, "Lili, Simei, eat first. Dongfang, come out with me."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang walked out of the room first, and waited in the stair corridor outside the door.

Soon, Xiang Dongfang also opened the door, and then closed the door.

"President Cao." Xiang Dongfang, who followed, smiled, "Do you have any instructions?"

Cao Zhiqiang looked at her, then at the door: "It's nothing, I'm full, I want to take a walk, you come with me."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang went downstairs first.

Xiang Dongfang frowned, but still followed Cao Zhiqiang's back door and went downstairs together.

As a result, as soon as they went downstairs, the door opened, revealing the figures of Cao Lili and Qiao Simei.

"Sister." Qiao Simei looked eager to try, "Shall we follow?"

Cao Lili frowned, then shook her head: "Forget it, my brother made it clear that he wanted to talk to Sister Dongfang alone, and he made it clear that he didn't want us to hear it, so it's better not to insist, it would be bad if he was found out."

"Don't you want to know what brother and sister Dongfang said?" Qiao Simi said, "It may have something to do with Sister Dongfang's going or staying."

Cao Lili said: "Whether to go or stay is their business. It doesn't matter whether we follow the past or not. On the contrary, it may be counterproductive. I think it's better to be honest and stay at home obediently.

It would be best if my brother could persuade Sister Dongfang to stay.

If not, Sister Dongfang still wants to leave, then we will accept it honestly. "

Speaking of this, Cao Lili closed the door and said to Qiao Simei with a serious face: "Simei, let me tell you solemnly again, don't think that brother's kindness to us is justified, especially for you, especially for you. Don't think so.

Brother is good to us, it is others who are good, but if you are always so inconsiderate, it is a waste of brother's patience.

If you go on like this, if one day my brother gets impatient and doesn't want to care about us, what should we do? "

"No!" Qiao Simei shook her head, "Brother Cao is not that kind of person, he won't ignore me."

"How do you know there is no such possibility?" Cao Lili said seriously, "In this world, anything can happen, and no one owes anyone.

Being able to be brothers and sisters with my brother is our blessing, we have to cherish our blessings, and we can't waste them randomly.

I'm not saying that you should be obedient to your brother, but at least you should be sensible and don't always make trouble for your brother.

We should do what we can, and it is best not to mention what we should not do, or some excessive demands.

For example, if you go to Japan to play, your brother can take the initiative to mention it, but you cannot.

Brother took the initiative to mention it, it was because of his good intentions, but if you take the initiative to mention it, you are being spoiled, and this is the way to bring disaster.

Sister, sister is all for our own good.

Do you still want to go back to your original home and live in that poor life? "

Qiao Simei immediately shook her head: "I don't want it, I don't want to go back, I don't want to live the old life again!"

"Then be an obedient child." Cao Lili said, "At least don't always make trouble for my brother. If you do your duty, your brother will definitely benefit from you."

"Yes, but..."

"But what?"

Qiao Simei frowned: "But when I saw my brother, I couldn't help it! I was very happy to see him, and then I couldn't help but say a lot of things, all of which were out of my mind."

Cao Lili sighed: "Then you will talk less in the future, or try to stay with me, and I will help you check.

Simei, I really do it for your own good!
No matter how close brothers and sisters are, we need to know how to measure, not to mention that we are not related by blood, so we need to know how to measure, understand? "

Qiao Simei pouted and said, "I'll try my best."

"It's not about trying, it's about doing it!" Cao Lili said, "Forget it, I've already told you many times, let's not talk about it, go back to the room and do your homework, I will personally supervise you."

"Ah?" Qiao Simei was dumbfounded, "Now?"

"Of course." Cao Lili said with a straight face, "It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone, especially once Sister Dongfang leaves here, you have to learn self-discipline and learn to control yourself.

Now, you have to get used to it first, let me help you with self-discipline first! "

Qiao Simi flattened her mouth: "But I'm not full yet!"

Cao Lili squinted her eyes and stared at Qiao Simi closely without saying a word.

Qiao Simei frowned, and flattened her mouth again: "Okay, okay, I can't go, really, there is no sister like you."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Simei reluctantly went back to her room to do her homework, while Cao Lili followed her closely, watching her do her homework.

"Sister!" Qiao Simi, who took out her homework book, looked at Cao Lili, who was beside her with a straight face, "I, I can't write it in if you are so straight-faced!"

Cao Lili was unmoved: "Who told you not to do your homework early? If you were like me, you would have finished your homework early after school. Didn't you play first, and why did you delay until now?"

Qiao Simi said: "Then I've always been like this, I'm not you."

"This is not allowed in the future." Cao Lili said, "From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere after school, go home immediately, I will personally watch you do your homework, and you are not allowed to go anywhere or play anything until you finish your homework." .”

"Okay, okay." Qiao Simi said, "Even so, it's the future. You look at me now, I really can't write it in."

Cao Lili nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll get my textbook, and then I'll review my homework next to you, and you can write your homework without hindering each other."

After finishing speaking, Cao Lili stood up and went back to her room to get textbooks and exercise books.

Seeing Cao Lili leave her room, Qiao Simi suddenly put her head in her hands and sighed: "Oh, my sister is so annoying, my life is so miserable!"
