The children of the Qiao family

Chapter 45

Everyone pooled some money and got [-]% of the money.Yicheng said: "Why don't you just stop repairing it and buy a cemetery for Mom."

One night, old man Qiao called Qiao Yicheng when it was too late, and said: If you want to buy land, buy a double-acupoint one, and engrave my name on it. In the future, I will always be with you Mom was buried together.

Qiao Yicheng hung up the phone and stood alone on the dark balcony for a long time.

On the day of moving her mother's grave, Simei finally talked to her elder brother after a few months.

At that time, Qi Chenggang had already returned to Nanjing.

Yicheng used a brush to blacken his mother's name on the snow-white stone tablet stroke by stroke.

In fact, the mother's urn was too rotten for a long time to be put away. Qiao Yicheng took out the rotten box with a red cloth and soil, and bought another urn to put it in. He didn't follow this matter. said the brothers and sisters.

On the way home, Er Qiang secretly said to Yi Cheng: I think Si Mei has a bad face, is there something wrong with her?
Yicheng hesitated for a moment, and replied: Maybe he is still angry with me.

Er Qiang opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

After this was done, the brothers and sisters really seldom had contact with Yicheng, and Yicheng occasionally went back to visit, but still felt that there was a little distance between them.

In the summer of [-], Xiang Nanfang was sent to a certain county to be the magistrate. This was a project in the city to train young female cadres, which meant to let these female cadres have some achievements so that they could come back and be promoted.

It so happened that a reporter from the news center of the TV station went to cover this matter, and when he came back, he smiled and called Qiao Yicheng to treat him, saying that Teacher Qiao was lucky.

Qiao Yicheng said: My wife went to the countryside to exercise, and it was quite difficult.

So someone said: "Bitter first, then sweeter, first bitterer, then sweeter, isn't it the same for you, Mr. Qiao?"

Yicheng is no longer an ordinary reporter. At the beginning of [-], the TV station carried out reforms. Through competitive recruitment, a group of grassroots senior reporters were promoted to be producers. Qiao Yicheng passed the election and became a certain nine Executive producer of Dianjian news special column.There are quite a few like him, but everyone still laughs secretly: Sure enough, there are people in the court who are good at being officials. I didn't expect Qiao Yicheng to have such achievements after divorce. It seems that men still have to divorce once. transport.

As an executive producer, Yicheng doesn't have to go out every day, but he needs to be on duty, which is not like in the past, where he can freely control his time.He also broke up with Song Qingyuan, and Song Qingyuan had a new partner, who turned out to be Qiao Yicheng's cousin, Chang Xingyu.

Chang Xingyu has always been lukewarm towards Qiao Yicheng, but he and Song Qingyuan have extremely opposite tempers. At the beginning, Qiao Yicheng saw the two of them together and would touch the edge of the pot, thinking that they would not cooperate for a long time. Slowly, it became clear that the way these two people got along was the kind of noisy confidant. While surprised, but also a little bit uncomfortable, he smiled and said to Song Qingyuan, "find another new love" so quickly.Song Qingyuan laughed loudly, saying that the clothes are not as good as the newcomers, and the old friends are still good.

Qiao Yicheng also joked with him: This cousin of mine is a great beauty, you should not fall in love with her.

Song Qingyuan said: She is a great beauty, but roses are thorny, and her heart is stronger than men. I still like the innocent and gentle kind.

Everyone can see that Song Qingyuan treats Chang Xingyu differently and takes great care of him, but it's strange that no one spread any gossip between the two of them in a place of gossip like the TV station.Qiao Yicheng privately thought that it might be because the auras of these two people were too upright.

He himself had no such good luck.Qiao Yicheng often thought that with an ordinary person like himself with no background, he deserved to be told that he had come to this point.

Gradually, when everyone said something sour, they didn't carry Qiao Yi behind their backs.One day, a few people were chatting together during lunch, and someone said: Hey, hey, have you heard a sentence now?Behind every successful man there is a successful woman, and behind every successful woman there is a sad man.

Another person took up the conversation and said: Is that so?Why did I hear another version, saying that behind every successful man there is a successful woman, and behind every successful woman there are a group of successful men.

Before Qiao Yicheng could make any facial expressions, Song Qingyuan laughed loudly, and the man turned around and asked Song Qingyuan: Teacher Song laughed, so Teacher Song must have some good ideas.

Song Qingyuan said bluntly: Your grandma has a leg, what kind of nonsense is this!

Oh, so everyone said: Mr. Song is a good person who respects women very much.

Song Qingyuan laughed loudly again and said: Why should I disrespect women?I respect women as long as they don't lose their long hair all over the place.Your grandma has such a leg, long hair is really annoying, you can't pick it up when you drop it on the floor.

Chang Xingyu said: Didn't you say that men love women with long hair?

Song Qingyuan patted her on the head old-fashionedly and said: Not bad, I love your long hair very much.

Chang Xingyu said blankly: "Your grandma has such legs, Song Qingyuan!"Some of us here deserve this scolding!

After speaking, he and Song Qingyuan walked out of the dining room with their heads held high, and went to the interview.

Qiao Yicheng listened and thought, just because of Chang Xingyu's words, it doesn't matter how cold she is to him.

Hearing these words a lot, Qiao Yicheng often felt sullen.

Sometimes when he calms down, Qiao Yicheng knows that he is too petty and narrow-minded, but he can't help it, he can't learn the freedom and ease of Song Qingyuan, Song Qingyuan is the kind of person who wears a pair of crumpled old military trousers and is full of momentum , but he couldn't do it, he lived so long, every step he took, he was always cautious, and he didn't dare to miss half a step.

Qiao Yicheng stayed alone in the small courtyard of Xiang's family, feeling a little uncomfortable. It might take a year or two for the south to come back.

Qiao Simi is pregnant.

At first, Simei didn't feel anything at all, she didn't vomit, she didn't feel dizzy, and she didn't feel too lazy to move, but her appetite was surprisingly good, and she had to swallow three bowls of rice to finish even the most bland dishes.

It wasn't until the baby in her womb was almost four months old that she suddenly realized that she might be pregnant.When I went to the hospital for an investigation, the doctors were all amused. How can there be such a foolish person who didn't know she was pregnant for four months.The doctor was a very kind-looking elder sister. She patted Simei's belly and said, "This is a heartless little doll."

Simei was taken aback by the doctor's words, her child was as heartless as she was.

At this moment, Simei felt that she had some kind of deep and indescribable relationship with this piece of flesh and blood in her stomach.It made her feel pity and affection. Simei gently touched her belly, feeling a kind of happiness isolated from the world.

After Simei became pregnant, she quickly gained weight, like a balloon inflated with one breath.

Qi Chenggang's mother is an honest person. Because of the small space at home, she can only let her son and daughter-in-law live in Qiao's old house. Later, she also took care of all the housework of Qiao's family, making Simei fatter and fatter, causing Sanli to laugh and say that Simei is a fool, and she is lucky to be a good mother-in-law.

Sanli found out her son's small clothes and shoes and socks when she was a child, packed a big bag and sent it over, saying that it is easy for children to live in old clothes, but they must be washed and ironed when they are really used, and returned to the four. Mei sent a big bag of old cotton woolen sweaters and trousers, which can be used to make diapers in the future.

Simei said: I heard from people in our hotel that there is a kind of paper diapers in foreign countries, which can be thrown away after use, and there is no need to wash them at all.

Sanli gave her a sideways look, and said she couldn't live a good life, and said that you don't need to wash the diapers, but ask Qi Chenggang to do it, and Wang Yiding does it in our family.

Qi Chenggang has completely recovered over the past year. When he returned to his hometown, the climate and soil were suitable, and his complexion completely faded from dark and dark, and became rosy.His hair was cut in a fashionable style, and his jacket and jeans set off his slender figure with beautiful proportions.After all, he has been in the army for several years, and his figure is very tall and straight, just like he once boasted in the past. Back then, he was originally selected for the national flag class, but when the quota was reached, a child from a well-connected family took it.He was the same age as Simei, yet he appeared to be much younger than Simei. At first glance, he looked like a young man who had just passed his twenties.

He has completely forgotten the desolation and panic at the beginning.

Qiao Simei said, our family, Qi Chenggang, does not want the jobs assigned by the army. We, Qi Chenggang, just want to be our own masters and earn money freely.

Qiao Simei said, our family, Qi Chenggang, is a talented person in the army, and he has a serious "talent and appearance" system. The army must keep him alive and not let him change jobs.But in this day and age, who wants to stay in the army for the rest of their lives? It's important to come back early to earn money.

Qiao Simei said, our family, Qi Chenggang, is really clingy, calling several times a day is annoying.Driving me to work every day before earning money is like a tail.

Qiao Simei said, our family Qi Chenggang, I am not happy to walk with him, it makes me look old, and I think I am his eldest sister, really.

It was Qiao Simei who lied, but it was Qi Chenggang who really believed.

He feels that he is a plant that regenerates new leaves and sprouts in the new soil. It is strong and full, facing the sun, and keeps rising. A lot of good days and enjoyments are waiting for him ahead.

Qi Chenggang feels that he is like a newborn child. Sometimes, he even forgets his wife, his old parents, and everything around him. He just wants to go to a warmer, more beautiful and freer place.

Qiao Simei found out that Qi Chenggang had another man outside when she was seven months pregnant.

Qiao Simei loved to read romance novels and love movies since she was a child, but she always felt in her heart that the good things in the books and movies may appear in life, and the bad ones definitely will not.

She has always believed in this until that night, when she saw a woman hugging Qi Chenggang's neck at the street not far from her home, saying goodbye.

At that time, Simei's body was already quite heavy, and she couldn't go to work, so she asked for leave early and waited for the delivery at home.In those two years, driving a taxi was quite a lucrative industry, and Qi Chenggang was also considered a hardworking man, young and energetic, earning a lot of money every month.

Simei stays at home all day long, the light in the old house is not very good, she is facing the bald walls, watching TV until her eyeballs almost fall out, and walking around inside and outside the house with her waist up, she can’t help herself. I feel as stupid as a fat goose.

I don’t know what happened that day. It was past seven o’clock, and I couldn’t stay at home. Old man Qiao was watching TV in the living room, dozing off, half-opening his mouth, drooling, and Simei was really bored. Can't help but want to go out for a stroll.Qi Chenggang would usually come back around this hour. His friend had recently lost love and couldn't sleep well at night, so he switched night shifts with him.

Simei moved to the alley and found Qi Chenggang's car parked not far away.

Qi Chenggang always wipes the car clean, and he wears a pair of fine gauze gloves when driving, so he is a clean person.

A woman got out of the car first, and Simei thought it was Qi Chenggang's guest.

The woman seemed to be a few years older than both Simei and Qi Chenggang, with curly hair tied high on her head, the kind that could be done in a barber shop without washing for a few days.The woman is plump and tall, her buttocks are upturned, and her body is so bulging and strong that it looks like it will pop out of the tight clothes at any time.

The woman was lying on the side of the car window, talking to Qi Chenggang, her expression was cheerful and a little frivolous, which made Simei feel weird, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Then, the woman reached into the car window, took Qi Chenggang's hand, took a step back, and smiled, which meant to pull Qi Chenggang out.

Qi Chenggang probably didn't move his hands, and couldn't let go of the woman's hand, so he had to open the car door and get out. The woman pulled Qi Chenggang towards him with a lot of strength.

Si Mei seemed to be immobilized by Sun Houzi, standing in place, trying to move, but her hands and feet couldn't be controlled. She saw the woman and Qi Chenggang tightly pressed together, and the woman rubbed against Qi Chenggang's body, as if trying to move herself. Squeeze into his body.They hid behind a tall plane tree, and Qi Chenggang leaned against the tree.There must be moss on the tree on his new jacket, Simei thought suddenly.

Qi Chenggang touched the woman's chest, like a naughty child, the woman let out a low excited and short cry, pretending to push Qi Chenggang away, Qi Chenggang took advantage of the opportunity to push her away, and walked out of the shadow of the tree with her.The two seemed to be saying goodbye, Qi Chenggang walked behind the woman, and suddenly slapped her hard on the buttocks.

Even with such obscene gestures, he still has a beautiful posture, as if he is just a child, and a child can be such a rascal.

Qiao Simei supported her back, feeling that her waist was really about to break, so she swayed back and concealedly moved back home.

That night, Simei didn't sleep well. In the middle of the night, suddenly, she felt that the baby in her stomach seemed to be moving.

Simei stared at the dark ceiling for a long time, then suddenly cried out in horror.
