The reborn Nezha opened his eyes in the lotus, saw his master Taiyi, rushed over and called: Master, Master, Master.

At the end of [-], Qiao Yicheng married Xiang Nanfang. Naturally, the small mansion was very comfortable. There was also an old nanny, Aunt Sun, who cooked well and cleaned up the laundry neatly. Qiao Yicheng actually lived a life where he opened his mouth and stretched out his clothes when he was eating, and he lived in a bit of fear.

After enjoying some blessings, Qiao Yicheng's complexion improved. Qiao Yicheng's complexion was moistened like never before, his facial features became clearer, and he was dressed comfortably and properly. He looked like a handsome man, which caused Song Qingyuan to shout Envious, saying that Qiao Yicheng is a blessed person.Qiao Yicheng was very grateful that he didn't say that he had jumped from bran baskets to rice baskets. Song Qingyuan was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and he was a good person.

The other children of the Qiao family are not as good as the elder brother.

Qiao Qiqi and Yang Lingzi are two and a half older children. They used to have Lingzi's mother to help them, so their childhood went smoothly. Gradually, Lingzi returned to the temperament she had when she was a little girl. She was very playful and wanted to run out to play from time to time. , Once I go, I won’t be home until two or three o’clock in the middle of the night.The child's milk has been weaned long ago. Lingzi's mother originally planned to let the child stop eating until the age of four, but before she could speak, Lingzi screamed in fright: "Hey, by then I won't be an old woman anymore?"Resolutely refused, and finally fed the child until she was seven months old, Suzuko resolutely weaned her milk.Lingzi's mother scolded her and said, didn't I wean you until you were five years old?How about you can grow so good?Suzuko said that her mother is an antique, the idea is really scary, she is going to bring her back to the old society and use her as a nanny.

Suzuko, who had given birth to a child, became more and more like a bright and plump fruit, and she became the little queen among her playmates.She loves to attract the attention of boys, and then flicked her long hair and said: Am I mistaken, my daughter will soon be able to make soy sauce.At that moment, seeing the boy's swollen face and unbelievable expression, Suzuko felt infinitely full and happy.

She doesn't really care about or like any of these boys, in her opinion, none of them can have Qiqi's good looks, nor Qiqi's softness like plasticine for her to rub round and flatten temper.

Lingzi often thinks that she is in love with Qiqi, Qiqi always has a kind of trance, which makes him always a little dazed, as if staying in a certain space that Lingzi doesn't know, which makes Lingzi Those who feel that they are lost, think more and more that they love him, and those who love him are heartbroken.

However, this leisurely life suddenly became impossible one day.

Suzuko's mother has always had bad joints. She said that it was due to jumping in the queue when she was young.The child is older and can walk and run, and her legs can't move anymore.

This lying down was really terrible. Lingzi and Qiqi, the older child and the younger child, were already in a mess, and a half-paralyzed old man was added to make things worse.

That night, for some reason, Qiqi's youngest daughter was crying so hard that she couldn't even be hugged and coaxed, and she didn't feel hot when touched, she just complained of stomach pain.

Ling Zi's mother was lying in the back room, really anxious, she called several times, Qiqi came in with her daughter Yunzhi in her arms.The little girl stopped crying when she saw her grandma, she threw herself into Lingzi's mother's arms, lifted her clothes, and stuffed her grandma's hand into her belly, Lingzi's mother asked: Is this better?The little girl nodded with the tears all over her face still wet.

Suzuko's mother asked Qiqi: Where is Suzuko?

Qiqi said: I went out to play.

Ling Zi's mother raised her voice angrily, patted the bed board and said: You are so heartless.

Qiqi saw that Mama Lingzi's face was so angry that her face changed, she turned around and poured a cup of tea, and said briefly: Don't be angry, Mom.

This cry was so clear and natural that Suzuko's mother suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

For a long time after getting married, Qi Qi was not used to calling her mother, and always called her aunt by mistake. The child's face was a little ashamed, but she still couldn't change it next time.

Suzuko's mother said slowly: Qiqi, come here, let me tell you something.I think, I will move to live with your little aunt next week. Her son has gone abroad to study. Your uncle passed away early. Now she is the only one in the house, and Lingzi’s father has been running around all year round. For business, your little aunt and I are alone. I live in the past, she can take care of me, and I will accompany her by the way.Please, pack up my things for me when you are free these two days, and your little aunt will come to pick me up.

Qi Qi'an listened quietly to Ling Zi's mother, and suddenly reached out to touch her arm.Don't go, Qiqi said.

Suzuko's mother joked with him and said: If you don't leave, are you raising me?

Qi Qi thought about it briefly, and answered: Good!
Lingzi's mother said softly: Don't worry, it was your little aunt who asked me to come over. I don't live and eat for nothing, and I also pay for living expenses.

Qiqi carried her daughter over and said slowly: After all, it's at someone else's house.

Suzuko's mother still stayed.Yang Lingzi still often goes out to play at night, she is used to such a relaxed life, she just feels that the old and young at home make her breathless, only Qiqi is a little bit of beauty in her life, however, this is far from enough.

Yang Lingzi is a big whale, Qiao Qiqi is just a pool of shallow water.

Qiqi's daughter was still sick, with severe stomach pains.It was almost eleven o'clock, and Lingzi hadn't come back yet. Lingzi's mother struggled and said, you should handcuff her.

After Qi Qi made the phone call, she found the BP machine in the bedside table beeping.

Suzuko didn't take it away.

Qiqi hugged her daughter alone, and couldn't get a car in the middle of the night, so she walked all the way forward.

In the winter weather, the child can no longer suffer from the cold, it is wrapped like a small cotton ball, and the further you walk, the heavier it is to hold in your hand. The child can no longer cry, lying on Qiqi's shoulder, like a kitten Hum huh.

Qiqi had the illusion that this road seemed to be endless in her lifetime, and there seemed to be a big cattail fan in her heart, which flapped once and again, blowing a cool breeze after another, and her heart shrank into a ball.

Passing by a small shop that was still open late at night, there was a public phone in front of the counter.

Qiqi walked over step by step, lifted her daughter up, and called Qi Weimin.

Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu both rushed to the hospital, Qiqi looked up at them, her big eyes were full of water, but she still didn't fall, and said: Why did Sister come here too, Xiaodong, don't you want anyone to watch?

Qi Weimin also had a son in the first year, named Qi Dongcho, he was a fat, chubby boy, and Qi Qi liked him very much.

Chang Xingyu said: It was left at grandma's and grandpa's house, my aunt and uncle were addicted to playing with him, and they refused to return it.

Qiqi looked at Chang Xingyu's radiant face and thought, she is so happy, how wonderful, she is not confused at all.

Chang Xingyu came over and sat beside him, Qi Weimin hurriedly asked: how is the little girl?
Qiqi said: The doctor said it was enteritis, and he needed to be administered a bottle and stayed in the hospital for observation.

Qi Weimin touched Qiqi's head: Qiqi will catch a cold with your own sweat.You go to my house, wash up and go to bed first, I will look after the child for you.

Qi Qi shook her head, refusing.

After waiting for the child's illness to stabilize, Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu took them back to their home.

Qi Weimin asked Qiqi what plans he had in the future, and whether he had been helping Yang Lingzi's small factory.

Qiqi said that he didn't know either, never thought about it.

Qiqi refused to raise her head when she spoke, and only gave her brother a crown of head and soft black hair.

Qi Weimin sighed: It doesn't matter, just take your time and find a way.

Afterwards, Qi Weimin discussed with Chang Xingyu: In the past two years, I also saved some money, I think...

Chang Xingyu interrupted him: You don't need to say anything, I know, you want to use it for investment, let Xiaoqi do something.I have no objection, we don't wait for the money to be used, but, what do you think we can do for him?This kid seems to be bullied by others in everything he does. Besides, to be honest, he doesn't have any skills.

Qi Weimin smiled wryly: This is true. Thinking about it, you were right back then. With Qiqi’s current state, I have to say that I have a lot of responsibility. When I was young, I spoiled him too much, for fear that he would be wronged. Made him very dependent.

However, this kid’s nature is good, I thought, the business of the game room is good now, let’s pool some money to help him open a game room, it doesn’t need to be too big, I have a friend in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, help him open one as soon as possible License, there is a child of a distant relative in my family who is also unemployed at home, that child is smart, you can ask him to come and help Qi Qi.

Chang Xingyu said: If this is well said, why do you self-reflect?In fact, I also love Qiqi quite a lot. A child who has no mother since childhood is naturally pitiful.Besides, Chang Xingyu laughed, your little brother is also born to be girlish!If it were me, I would have tamed that Yang Lingzi a long time ago!

Sure enough, the husband and wife helped Qiao Qiqi build a small game room a few months later. Lingzi's mother also agreed, saying that her unlucky small factory was not doing well, and Lingzi's father was getting old. Even after this year, I plan not to do it.In this way, Qiqi and Lingzi have another way to live.The old lady also secretly invested in some private houses, and the small game room officially opened on a good day.

Qi Qi was quite curious about this business, and on the day before the opening, he played with this machine and that machine for most of the day.

Qi Weimin said: Qiqi, we must behave in a proper manner when doing business, and we must not let children come in to play.

Qiqi nodded earnestly: I know brother, I didn't study hard when I was young, and I will never let other children's children fail to study.

Qiqi originally made a piece of hard cardboard by himself, and wrote that children are not allowed to enter, but accidentally wrote it as rabbit entry, and saw that the handwriting was ugly, scribbled and threw it away, but Chang Xingyu wrote a sign for it , a beautiful Yan Zhengqing body on a white background.

Qiao Erqiang lost his job again.

This incident happened too suddenly. Originally, the second strong was entrusted with the relationship to join the foreign company to do work, but the company's upper management was reorganized, and a group of people were changed from top to bottom. The second strong was originally insignificant. The batch was asked to go.

Nanfang told Yicheng in private that he could arrange a relatively better job for the second strong man, but Qiao Yicheng firmly refused. Don't show up in the small courtyard of Xiang's house. If there is anything, just tell him, don't tell Nanfang.Don't let people look down on us, Yicheng said.

At that time, Simei put down her face and said angrily: I understand, I understand, you are afraid that we will embarrass you.Don't worry, big brother, we will be so poor that we won't even go to the ground of your small western-style building to ask for food in the future!
Yicheng was shocked: How did you misunderstand it to such an extent?
Sanli also scolded Simei: I am really ignorant, the elder brother didn't mean that at all!
Simei was even more upset: You two wore a pair of pants since you were young. Of course you won’t misunderstand, sister. The elder brother will always stand up and carry it for you when you have any problems. Of course he doesn’t mean you, he just means me and the second brother. Both of us are not up to standard, and we will lose face the most!

The second strong man who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly interjected: I won't lose face.I didn't get you wrong brother either.

Simei slammed the door and left.

The sisters had an unpleasant fight, and Simei almost didn't go to eat [-]% of the wedding wine.After getting married, not only did she never go to Xiang's small courtyard, she even stopped making phone calls.

Afterwards, Yicheng still entrusted someone by himself, and arranged Erqiang to work as a temporary worker in the post office.

When Qingming was approaching this year, the nanny of the Xiang family received a call from old man Qiao, saying that their family was going to visit the grave of Yicheng's mother, and wanted to trouble "Leader Xiang" to arrange a car.

Yicheng didn't know about it, and the nanny was an old man, so naturally she couldn't chew her tongue. It wasn't until the day of going to the grave that Yicheng saw an Iveco car sent by Xiang's family to understand what was going on.

Yicheng gave the driver a pack of cigarettes, and asked him to drive the car back, paid for two taxis out of his own pocket, and took the family to his mother's grave.

Qiao Simi kept rolling her eyes at her eldest brother, pretending not to see them.

Speaking of which, it has been many years since the Qiao family has come to visit their mother's grave together.Every year, brothers and sisters have their own affairs, and it is difficult to make an appointment together. More than half of them like to come alone.

Old man Qiao looked at the small mound and said: It's time to rebuild your mother's grave and erect a stone monument.

Qiao Yicheng felt that the old man had said something decent for the first time in many years.
