The children of the Qiao family

Chapter 33

Xiao Lang was in a bad mood.

She was rejected.

The fat visa officer at the embassy didn't even have the patience to listen to her stammering and frightened answer, so he gave her a conclusion of "immigrant tendencies".The snap of the seal was almost vicious to Xiao Lang's ears.Xiao Lang remembered that a girl she met while queuing outside the embassy told her that if it was a female interviewer, she must act ashamed and stupid, and if it was a man, she should be more pitiful. .

Xiao Lang thought, she didn't even have a chance to show a little stupidity in front of this fat female official, why didn't she even give her a chance to act stupid?

Xiao Lang's visa refusal, in Qiao Yicheng's opinion, was a good thing. What Qiao Yicheng thought was that if she hit a snag once, she might know that nothing was easy and she would die slowly. Think about going abroad.

But he had to say a few words of comfort, Qiao Yicheng said: Forget it, there are tens of thousands of people who have been rejected, it's all right.Let's talk about it later.

Xiao Lang's eyes were red from crying, his face drooped, like a frustrated little rabbit: You put it lightly, do you know how hard it was for me to line up outside the embassy?I went to line up before dawn, and I almost didn't freeze into ice cubes!Queued for more than six hours!The legs are almost broken!
As he spoke, he was so wronged that he wanted to cry again.

Qiao Yicheng patted her and persuaded: It's really hard!

Xiao Lang turned his shoulders and let go of his hand: I think you are not sincere, but you are actually quite happy, right?
Qiao Yicheng said: "Xiao Lang, you are being a little unreasonable. If you are not happy, why should I be happy?"

Xiao Lang sniffed hard: Don't you just not like me going abroad?I just want to be like you for the rest of my life, staying in the country and worrying about the Qiao family!
Qiao Yicheng's expression changed: Xiao Lang, please keep your voice down.

Xiao Lang became even angrier, but his voice became quieter: I know, your brother and sister are here, I shouldn't talk too much.However, I am also curious, why do you take responsibility for your father?You can confidently tell the debtors, whoever owes you, go to him!In the new society, it's not fun to sit around!What's more, you shouldn't have protected that irresponsible father of yours!And send him away!

Qiao Yicheng said coldly: "Come on, no matter how bad the old man is, he's still a father. What can we do?"To watch him being hacked to death by his creditors?Who told us that we didn't open our eyes when we were reincarnated, and we have to accept our fate with such a father!

Xiao Lang saw that his face changed completely, and he knew that his words were a little too much, so he shrank his head.I also have good intentions, she said, am I afraid that something will happen to you?
Yicheng smiled cheekily: Oh, what will happen?They also don't know the address of my current home.That's why I asked Er Qiang and the others to come and live for a while, and I didn't discuss it with you beforehand. There is really no place to go. After all, they are my own brothers and sisters. If I don't protect them, who will care about them?
Xiao Lang said: I don't blame you either, I know you love your younger siblings the most.Just live here, if you don't think it's crowded here.

Qiao Yicheng quickly apologized and smiled: No squeeze, no squeeze, I was used to it when I was a child.

After a break, he said: Xiao Lang, if you still don't give up, you might as well study hard and take the test again.This time, the one who got a high score in the test will tell him that the Yankees will rush to invite you to study in their country.

Xiao Lang burst out laughing: "It's so naive to say that Yankees are really so easy to deceive."

Sighing again, he leaned against Yicheng and said, "Then, Yicheng, I'm really going to take the exam?"Take the test again, I promise, take the test again, if you fail, I will live a good life in China with all my heart.Let's have a big fat girl!
Yicheng was stunned when he heard the word "daughter", and took a long time to come back and say: Let's talk about the son and daughter.

Xiao Lang did what he said, and he really worked hard to read the book. English words and phrases were posted in every corner of the house, and he didn’t do homework every night until midnight. stand up.Their newspaper office only pays reporters basic salaries, bonuses, etc., which are linked to the number of manuscripts published. Xiao Lang often excuses himself not to go to work to review at home, which inevitably affects the workload. The monthly income is greatly reduced. Qiao Yicheng also It's hard to say anything.

Everything else was fine, but, after a while, Xiao Lang had a conflict with Si Mei, which made it difficult for Qiao Yi.

Simei is a TV fan, and she will not give up until she sees the words "goodbye" in bright white on every station every night. Moreover, when she watches TV, she always has to turn her voice on high. , Simei will sing along.This made Xiao Lang not very happy. After holding back for two days, he finally couldn't take it any longer. When Simei was watching TV, he came out of the bedroom, put his messy hair on his head, and said to Simei: Simei, please turn down the voice. One point, too noisy.

Simei waited to talk back but swallowed the words back, puffing out her mouth and turning down her voice.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Xiao Lang posted a small note on the wall next to the TV in the living room, and wrote: Please control the time to watch TV between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] in the evening!
Simei was upset, and complained to Sanli in a murmur, but it was so unfortunate that Xiaolang listened to it all.

The two finally clinked.

Not bad, Xiao Lang gave in, and the two didn't have any bigger conflicts.

After that, Simei had a grievance with Xiaolang, and she stopped talking, and gradually, she stopped even saying hello.They look at each other with distaste, Xiao Lang thinks that Simei is noisy and ignorant, Simei feels that Xiao Lang is sour and self-righteous.

Simei said to Sanli: I don’t see what’s so good about her. I don’t think she’s good enough for our elder brother. Look at what she’s wearing. Put on her trousers and ask her to wear her carrot legs. How ugly how ugly!I always feel that I am learned, and two of the three sentences contain foreign characters. She is a college student, and my brother is still a graduate student!
Sanli interrupted Simei: I tell you Qiao Simei, you can control your mouth for me!It's not easy for eldest brother to start a family. If you break up his family, I'll pull out your tongue, believe it or not?
Simei shrank her head and dared not say any more, she was a little afraid of Sanli.

Xiao Lang hadn't been reviewing for a long time. He heard that due to the large number of applicants, he had taken the TOEFL test once and rushed to take the test.

Xiao Lang somewhat blamed Qiao Simei for what he meant, if he hadn't been too noisy when reading at night and couldn't concentrate, he wouldn't have failed so miserably.

Simei is not stupid either. Hearing Xiaolang's overtones, she sneered and said: "I can't sleep because the bed is crooked. I don't have real skills, so don't go out and make trouble!"

After Qiao Yicheng tried to persuade her, Simei said sharply, "Brother, just protect your wife and let her bully your sister."Xiao Lang said again: Qiao Yicheng, don't be confused, brothers and sisters, can you still spend the rest of your life with you?Of course, you still have to treat your wife well!
Qiao Yicheng is not flattering inside and out, and when he gets angry, he doesn't care about them.

The two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law are considered to be enemies.

Er Qiang went to almost all the vegetable markets in the city, but he couldn't find the person he was looking for.

Er Qiang was becoming less and less concerned about the preparations for the marriage, which made Sun Xiaomo a little uneasy.

During the preparations for the wedding, perhaps because she was too tired, Xiaomo's illnesses became more frequent and she was hospitalized twice.Xiao Mo became even more uneasy.

But Er Qiang didn't say anything after all, Sun Xiaomo gritted her teeth and persisted, and deliberately dragged Er Qiang to buy this and that, and Er Qiang was so heartbroken, she couldn't help persuading Xiao Mo: You don't need to buy so many things, and you don't need to buy them so good. Yes, keep the money and live in the future.But Xiao Mo didn't listen to it at all, and all her savings from working in the past few years went into it.Er Qiang really couldn't stand it anymore, and said ruthlessly: If you spend money like this again, you won't be able to get married!

Xiao Mo's face immediately changed, and Er Qiang was startled by his livid face, and hurriedly apologized, but Xiao Mo slowed down, pushed Er Qiang's hand away bitterly, and said, "You don't need to scare me with this, no Knot not knot, who is afraid of whom?As he spoke, he hummed a song and went indifferently.

Qiao Yicheng found out, and advised Er Qiang to take the initiative to find Xiao Mo to make amends. Yi Cheng said: Xiao Mo has Xiao Mo's difficulties, and girls with such diseases are more sensitive.

Er Qiang murmured, "Brother, I don't dislike her illness, I just...

Yicheng immediately interrupted him: I don't want to listen!Don't think about anything else before it's too late!
After all, Er Qiang went to Xiao Mo's house to make amends, Xiao Mo readily forgave Er Qiang, but since then, she has not been so active in preparing for the marriage, and both of them are a bit lazy. It seemed that something was tense again.

Er Qiang and Xiao Mo struggled forward like a bicycle with a chain pinned on it.

Similarly, some unpleasant things happened in Sanli's marriage, and the main problem came from Sanli's mother-in-law.

Yiding's mother was going to talk about it, but asked Yiding to use the Hanxian BP machine that Sanli gave him to Yiding's younger brother. She said that his younger brother had recently made a very good girlfriend. Money, the younger brother needs something to support his appearance, so he can't be looked down upon by other girls and his family.Yiding refused at first, but she couldn't stand her mother talking about it every day, so she said she wanted to discuss it with Sanli, but Yiding's mother couldn't wait, and took the things away without telling her son.Early that morning, when Yiding arrived at the company, he found out that the BP machine had been replaced by his younger brother's half-used digital one, and it rang immediately.Yiding called back, and heard his mother explaining on the phone: Today your brother is going to the old man's house, so he rushed to change, didn't you agree?You can use this first, it is also a famous brand, the number is...

Yiding became anxious and said: Mom, I haven't discussed it with Sanli yet.

Yiding's mother on the other end of the phone became angry: what should I discuss with her?Negotiation is five or eight, no negotiation is forty, anyway, it is bought with your money.

Yiding quickly explained: That's not the case, the money was really saved by Sanli herself.Besides, this is our token of love...

There was an early croak and it hung up.

When Sanli found out about this, she was so angry that she was about to go there and come back.Yiding was so frightened that he was sweating all over, and kept begging Sanli to forgive him while stopping her.

For the first time, Sanli was really angry with Yiding, an honest man. Sanli said: You are so soft-hearted. The title of general manager is so scary, but it is actually a leather bag company!Our money is so hard to come by, don't feed this parasite!
Yiding was so anxious that he almost wanted to hug Sanli in public: Don't go, don't go, I don't want you to be naughty with her.

Sanli looked at Yiding who was sweating profusely, and couldn't bear it again.

Yiding said: We don't care about her, I will save some more money, tell you Sanli, I will earn you back a BP machine soon, the best, Han Xian's!

Sanli turned around and spat at him: Bah, earn it for me!What do I want that for!That is what I gave you!As he spoke, there was a tear in his voice: I gave you an expensive thing for the first time, why can't we use some good things, isn't it true that children from well-connected families can't use good things?

Yiding felt sad when he heard it, and he didn't care about the people around him, so he hugged Sanli in his arms and patted her to coax her.

Sanli sobbed in his arms: Are you born to your mother?

One dick and one stiff, answer: Naturally, naturally.But the length of the ten fingers stretches out, it's not easy for Mom, the eldest brother is smart, it's inevitable to love him more.

Sanli struggled out of his arms in embarrassment, sniffed and said: What cleverness!I think he is not as good as you!
Yi Ding was happy, laughing softly.Suddenly remembered something and said: Sanli, some people say that we are a pair of happy little ants!

Who said this?Sanli asked.

your cousin.

Sanli also smiled: Oh, the boss of the Qi family is a fool.

The token of love between Sanli and Yiding was finally given by Yiding's mother to his younger brother. Sanli didn't want to come back for Yiding's sake, but she wanted to give it away.When I went to Wang's house for dinner again, Sanli said: Let my younger brother use the BP machine, it's fine.

However, today's little girls have high vision, and they must have real talents, otherwise, let alone a high-end BP machine, even a telephone is useless to hang with them.

One sentence annoyed Yiding's mother, and she put down her face on the spot like she slammed a rolling shutter, and almost had an attack.

Sanli didn't care about her, and ate her food slowly.

After eating and leaving, I felt a breath of sullenness came out. I chewed the bubble gum in my mouth twice, blew out a huge bubble, and smiled.
