The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 572 Disappointment
Qiao Yicheng always believed that Wang Gang stole the three fish, so Wang Gang had no choice but to take Qiao Yicheng and his two younger sisters to the bank of the river to perform a fishing performance himself.

After catching two big fish in succession, Qiao Yicheng finally believed that his younger brother was actually a fishing genius.

At noon, Qiao Yicheng stewed the fish and made a big pot of fish soup for his younger siblings to have a good meal.

As for why it is not Qiao Zuwang who cooks, but Qiao Yicheng, who is only 11 years old.

The reason is also very simple. Qiao Zuwang hasn't come back since he went out in the morning. According to past experience, he should have gone to play mahjong. He doesn't care whether the child is hungry or not.

When Wei Shuying was alive, Qiao Yicheng began to help her mother with housework.

It can only be said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, even Qiao Erqiang, Qiao Sanli, and even the four-year-old Qiao Simei will help to do what they can.

Qiao Zuwang is just a hands-off shopkeeper, it's not bad if he can pay for groceries.

Qiao Yicheng's cooking skills can only be said to be edible, which is far from delicious. Fortunately, the fish is fresh enough, and even without any condiments, the fish soup is still delicious.

The more important thing is fish. Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simi seldom eat meat once.

There were five fish in total, Qiao Yicheng only stewed one, the remaining two were put away for dinner, and the last two were cleaned up, ready to be given to Auntie Wei Shufang.

"Brother, I will go fishing every day from now on, and there will be no shortage of meat at home." Wang Gang put down the bowl of fish soup and said.

Qiao Yicheng frowned and said, "How can you catch fish every day, you are just lucky today."

Wang Gang didn't explain either. He had seen it today, and the Qinhuai River was rich in fish, so it was not a problem to catch fish every day with his skills.

"Don't worry! I'm talented in fishing. I won't be able to eat the extra fish in the future, and I can exchange some food with my neighbors." Wang Gang said his purpose.

In the future, when he takes out food from the space, he can exchange it with fish as an excuse.

"You are still young, you should study hard." Qiao Yicheng said seriously: "Your grades have no room for regression."

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Originally, Qiao Erqiang was a scumbag, only in the second grade of elementary school, and he was the bottom one in the class every time he took the exam. If he was the bottom one in any exam, the buddy who was the bottom one had diarrhea and performed abnormally.

The reason for such poor results is that Qiao Erqiang is really not smart, and his reaction is always slower than others.

Another reason is that the situation of Qiao's family does not have a good learning environment.

The four children can't even eat enough, and they are hungry all day long, so they have no energy to study.

That is to say, Qiao Yicheng, a young and mature man, knows that studying is the only way to change his destiny, so he studies hard.

"Fishing will not delay my studies, but it will calm my mind and allow me to think about the knowledge taught by the teacher in class." Wang Gang said to Qiao Yicheng.

"Brother, if the second brother doesn't go fishing, does that mean we won't have fish in the future?" Qiao Simei looked at Qiao Yicheng eagerly.

Qiao Yicheng sighed, and said to Wang Gang: "If your grades deteriorate, you will not be allowed to fish anymore."

Wang Gang was speechless. Seeing Qiao Yicheng, an 11-year-old kid pretending to be an adult, he felt very uncomfortable. He secretly decided that he must change the status quo of the Qiao family.

At this moment, Qiao Zuwang walked into the house humming a ditty, and saw a pile of fish bones on the dining table, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback?
"Where did the fish come from?" Qiao Zuwang asked strangely.

Qiao Sanli said happily: "Dad, the second brother is very capable today. He caught a lot of fish and came back."

"Fishing?" Qiao Zuwang looked at Wang Gang suspiciously, and then Wuming became angry.

"There are fish in the family and I don't know how to respect and honor your father, how dare I eat alone!" Qiao Zuwang said angrily.

"There's still half a fish tail in the pot, specially reserved for you." Qiao Yicheng's eyes were a little cold, the coldness of being completely disappointed with his father.

"How can a fish tail be enough for me to eat?" Qiao Zu said anxiously.

Wang Gang was not used to Qiao Zuwang, and said, "If you don't come back after walking all morning, are we going to be hungry?"

"Little Paozi, your wings are stiff, dare to hit you!" Qiao Zuwang raised his hand and wanted to hit him.

Wang Gang glanced coldly, wondering if the murderous aura accumulated in the world had been released.

Qiao Zuwang was scared by Wang Gang's eyes and took three steps back. He managed to stand still, feeling that he was frightened by an eight-year-old child, and he became angry from embarrassment.

"If you still dare to stare at me, it's against you."

Qiao Zu looked forward and wanted to fight again, but Wang Gang was completely disappointed with this cheap old man, so he no longer kept his hand, and pointed at his stomach.

The next moment, Qiao Zuwang suddenly covered his stomach.

Strange to say, Qiao Zuwang's stomach started to growl after Wang Gang tapped it.

"I'll come back to clean you after I finish using the toilet."

Qiao Zuwang covered his stomach with one hand and his buttocks with the other, he tore up two newspapers and ran out to the public toilet at the end of the street.

Qiao's house is a one-story house without an independent bathroom.

"Second Brother, what's wrong with Dad?" Qiao Sanli asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, maybe I ate something wrong!" Wang Gang sneered, thinking that Qiao Zuwang would not bother him within two or three hours.

Qiao Sanli and the others are still children after all, so they don't know the mysteries of Neijiaquan acupuncture points.

Qiao Zuwang basically spent the next two hours in the public toilet, his legs were so weak that he almost fell into the latrine.

He was no longer in the mood to teach his children a lesson, let alone the appetite for fish soup.

Originally, I was going to the hospital to pick up my younger brother Qiao Qiqi, but because of Qiao Zuwang's diarrhea, I had to wait until the next day.

For this reason, Wei Shufang came to find him, and she was a little happy to see Qiao Zuwang lying on the bed, half dead.

When Qiao Yicheng saw his aunt, he gave her the two prepared fish.

When Wei Shufang learned that Wang Gang caught the fish, she was very surprised, but she also taught him a lesson.

"You are still young, the river is too dangerous, so you can't go anymore." Wei Shufang pushed the fish back and said to Wang Gang.

"I'm just fishing by the river bank, so I won't fall into the river." Wang Gang pushed the fish to Wei Shufang again.

"Auntie, you've been busy with your mother's funeral for the past few days, and your face has lost weight. Take the fish back and mend it. There are two more at home."

Wei Shufang resolutely refused to accept it, but wanted to give Qiao Yicheng a few dollars instead.

She knew what kind of virtue Qiao Zuwang was. Now that her sister passed away, the children would suffer a lot.

Qiao Yicheng didn't ask for Wei Shufang's money, and insisted on asking her to take the fish back.

"There are still a lot of fish, and we can't finish them. It's a pity that it's too hot now." Wang Gang said: "I have the ability to fish, and there is no shortage of fish at home."

"Good boy, really good boy." Wei Shufang's eyes were red, and she said happily, "If my sister knows that you are so sensible, she must be very happy."

In the end, Wei Shufang still took the two fish home, but before leaving, she secretly slipped five yuan to Qiao Sanli, and Qiao Sanli later gave the money to her elder brother.

Qiao Yicheng was very angry, and reprimanded Qiao Sanli for taking money from her aunt.

In the end, Wang Gang couldn't stand it anymore and protected Qiao Sanli.

"What can I do to force my aunt to Sanli, at worst, I will send more fish to my aunt's house in the future."

Qiao Yicheng hated iron for being weak, and blamed his sister, but it was actually his pride.

He didn't want to receive too much favor from Wei Shufang.

The reason is also very simple. Their mother Wei Shuying and her sister actually have some small conflicts.

The center of the conflict lies in Uncle Qi Ziqiang.

Wang Gang heard neighbors gossiping, saying that his sister Wei Shuying and Qi Ziqiang were just a couple back then, and they were both talking about marriage.

As a result, the younger sister Wei Shufang also took a fancy to Qi Ziqiang, and played with her sister, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself.

The older sister is kind-hearted, loves her younger sister, and suffers on her own, so she gives Qi Ziqiang to her younger sister, and arranges to marry the scumbag Qiao Zuwang at home.

After the two sisters got married, the older sister got more and more miserable, but the younger sister reaped happiness. Uncle Qi Ziqiang is indeed a good man, and the Gu family loves his wife, which is in stark contrast to Qiao Zuwang.

People are afraid of competition, this comparison, the younger sister feels that she owes her elder sister, and she often helps out, and there are many gossips because of this.

At Wei Shuying's funeral two days ago, some neighbors watched Qi Ziqiang busy, but Qiao Zu, her husband, ignored him and knew how to collect money.

The neighbors brought up the old story again, but Qiao Yicheng heard it. Since then, there has been a thorn in my heart, and I don’t want to have anything to do with my aunt’s family. The fish delivery today is of course to thank Wei Shufang for her dedication to Qiao’s family, and it also means to draw a clear line .

However, in Wang Gang's view, everyone is relatives, and those things about old sesame seed and rotten millet back then are not worth mentioning at all.

Wei Shuying's thoughts back then were rotten in the pot, anyway, Qi Ziqiang was the son-in-law of the Wei family.

And no matter whether it was out of guilt or pity, Wei Shufang's kindness to the Qiao family was real, and it could not be repaid with two fish.

Qiao Yicheng felt that he could draw a clear line with the other party, but in Wang Gang's view, the two families will mostly communicate in the future.

How could Qiao Zuwang let Wei Shufang go with his nonchalant temperament.

Sure enough, as Wang Gang expected, Qiao Zuwang troubled Wei Shufang the next day.
