Qiao Yicheng turned to look at him and said, "Zhou Chen, thank you very much today. We will remember your kindness, but this matter is our family's business. We will figure out how to deal with it ourselves."
Qiao Yicheng's unfamiliar tone did not make Zhou Chen angry. He had lived for so many years, how could he get angry because of the words of a teenager.
"Okay, I understand. I hope you can persuade your sister. If this matter is not handled properly, it may leave her with a lifelong psychological trauma."
"Thank you."
Qiao Yicheng nodded. He knew Zhou Chen meant well, but his experiences in recent years had made him not very good at communicating with a stranger.
Seeing that Qiao Yicheng took it to heart, Zhou Chen didn't say anything more. After all, they were not even friends now, and saying too much would only arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Chapter 481 Qiao Sisters, Four Interesting Beauties
"Brother Zhou Chen, are you leaving?"
Qiao Sanli came out of the house and heard that Zhou Chen was about to leave. She immediately walked over and asked.
She was full of affection for this older brother who saved her in times of crisis. In addition, Zhou Chen was drenched by her sister, so she felt quite guilty.
"Brother Zhou Chen, your clothes are dirty, stay here and I will help you wash them."
Zhou Chen said: "No, my home is not far from here, it's okay, I'm leaving, see you next time."
Having said that, Zhou Chen picked up his clothes, put them on, and left quickly.
"Hey, Brother Zhou Chen, Brother Zhou Chen."
Qiao Sanli shouted from behind, but Zhou Chen soon disappeared from her sight.
Qiao Simei came over and said, "Sister, you just met him and you're already calling him brother. That's not like you."
Qiao Sanli glanced at Qiao Simei calmly and said, "He saved me, and he is indeed older than me, so what's wrong with me calling him brother?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Qiao Simei waved her hand, then held her chin and whispered, "But this guy named Zhou Chen is quite handsome, much more handsome than the eldest and second brothers. Why didn't I realize before that there is such a handsome brother in our Shamao Lane?"
"Qiao Simei, you are infatuated with him again. How are my brother and I worse than him?" Qiao Erqiang retorted dissatisfiedly.
Qiao Simei frowned at him and said, "Ugly people never think they are ugly."
"You are such a jerk, Qiao Simei." Qiao Erqiang pointed at her angrily, but Qiao Simei turned around and ran away.
Qiao Yicheng looked at the playful Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei and shook his head helplessly. Then he looked at Qiao Sanli and found that Qiao Sanli was still staring at the direction where Zhou Chen left and did not show any other expression. He felt a little relieved.
From now on, although Qiao Sanli was very scared and nervous just now, she was behaving normally at the moment. If he comforts her later, she shouldn't have any psychological trauma, right?
What he wanted to know more now was what kind of justice his father would get in the end when he went to find Li Heman.
"I hope you can get justice for Sanli."
Although he no longer had any confidence in Qiao Zuwang, he still expected Qiao Zuwang to take a stance on this matter.
Zhou Chen returned home, put the clothes in a basin, washed them and hung them to dry.
I saw the lunch in the big pot in the kitchen. I picked it up and smelled it, but there was no smell, so I lit a fire to heat it up.
He had lived in the countryside since he was a child, so lighting a fire on the stove was not a difficult task for him.
After dinner, Zhou Chen was bored, so he picked up the book on the table and read it.
He is now a first-year junior high school student, but the books of this era are very different from the junior high school knowledge he learned, not in terms of difficulty, but in terms of knowledge points.
The junior high school textbooks of later generations have been repeatedly edited and adapted over decades, but the current junior high school textbooks have actually not been around for very long, and almost 80% to 90% of the knowledge points are different. So even if Zhou Chen has a lot of ideas in mind, he still needs time to organize and learn them.
It’s no wonder that when he first encountered this kind of textbook, he found it quite interesting, so he was fascinated by it as soon as he read it.
While Zhou Chen was reading seriously, the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family were also awake.
Qiao Yicheng was lying on the bed, thinking about his father. Qiao Zuwang had been out for several hours and had not returned yet. He had just secretly gone to Li Heman's house and found that his father and Li Heman were not there.
After asking the neighbors, he found out that the two of them had gone out. He had no choice but to go home.
But he was very nervous. Li Heman was beaten badly today, but he knew that Li Heman would definitely not dare to call the police.
He was worried about his father, who had brought a knife with him. Would he threaten Li Heman with the knife, and then...
He didn't dare to think about it any further because he felt that the possibility was too small. With his father's courage, he definitely wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
A snoring sound came from above his head and Qiao Yicheng sighed.
My second child is really heartless. It’s only been a short while and he’s already soundly asleep.
On the contrary, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei next door had not fallen asleep yet and were chattering non-stop.
"Sister, Zhou Chen is quite handsome today, are you in love with him?"
This was Qiao Simei's voice, followed by Qiao Sanli's voice.
"Qiao Simei, don't talk nonsense. I just met him today. He saved me. I, I'm not as crazy as you."
"I'm not a flower maniac. I'm bold in love and hate. I really think Zhou Chen is handsome, much more handsome than my eldest and second brothers. Sis, if you don't like him, just give him to me. If he becomes my boyfriend, I definitely have no objection."
"Qiao Simei, how old are you? Can you please have some shamelessness? You just met her for the first time and you said such shameless words. And you still say you are not a flower maniac."
"Haha, sister, look how anxious you are. I was just kidding you. Although he is handsome, I am a loyal person. I will not compete with my sister for a man. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Qiao Yicheng couldn't help himself.
"Qiao Simei, shut up right now. How old are you to say such things? If you say such things again next time, I will punish you."
Suddenly, Qiao Simei's panicked voice was heard from the other side.
"Oh no, my brother heard us. It's so unlucky. We don't even have any privacy living in the same room."
"Simei, please stop talking."
He does not mean that.
Qiao Yicheng suddenly realized a problem, because there were only two rooms in the house, one for his father and one for the four brothers and sisters.
It doesn't matter now that everyone is still young, but as Sanli and Simei continue to grow up, it will obviously be inconvenient for them to live in the same room.
Thinking of this, he felt that he would have to find a solution in a few years.
Zhou Chen was so absorbed in reading that he did not notice the time until he heard the door open. Then he shifted his gaze away from the book. He stood up, stretched, and walked out of his little room.
I saw a man and a woman walked into the main room, both of them looked to be in their forties, wearing light blue work clothes. The man was of medium build and ordinary appearance, while the woman was tall. Although she was middle-aged and dressed ordinary, she still couldn't hide her charm.
"Dad, mom."
Zhou Chen called out very naturally. As someone who traveled through time frequently, he was already familiar with the changes in his identity. In his memory, his parents doted on him very much, so he was not awkward in calling out.
"Xiaochen, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Han Huifang asked in surprise when she saw that her son was not asleep.
There was basically no entertainment in that era. At night, most people went to bed early. Their family was well-off and had a black and white TV. They did not stop their son from watching TV, but he rarely went to bed so late.
Zhou Chen: "I was reading a book just now and didn't pay attention to the time. When I heard you guys were back, I came out to see you. Dad, Mom, have you eaten?"
Zhou Jianguo laughed and said, "Xiaochen has grown up and actually cares about us. We'll eat later. How about you? Have you had enough dinner?"
"I heated up the lunch and ate my fill."
"Go to bed early after eating. You are still growing and you must get enough sleep." Han Huifang said softly.
"It's okay, Mom. I'm fine."
In Zhou Chen's memory, this mother doted on him to the extreme, always spoke softly to him and never scolded him.
He didn't understand before, but now he knows very well that Han Huifang poured all her love into him because her eldest son died young.
After chatting with his parents for a few more words, Zhou Chen returned to his room.
Lying on the iron bed, Zhou Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind. The first contact with this couple gave him a very good feeling.
Speaking of which, he has traveled through time so many times, and the parents he met were basically good, except for that cheap father Su Daqiang and the scumbag father in Little Joy.
So at this point, he was very grateful to the system. If the system had allowed him to travel through time to some messy family, he would definitely have encountered a lot of troubles at the beginning.
The next day was still a day off. Han Huifang, who was not working at noon, went out to buy a lot of vegetables in the morning and cooked a table of delicious dishes for Zhou Chen at noon.
On this day, Zhou Chen did not go out, but continued to stay in the room reading. With his experience and wisdom, the knowledge in these books was easily understood by him.
However, if you want to fully master it, it still takes some time.
He has set a goal for himself, and the next step is to move towards this goal. His main task now is to study.
Under normal circumstances, he is now twelve years old and has just entered the first grade of junior high school. It will take more than five years for him to take the college entrance examination.
However, he was not planning to continue along this path. This era was not like decades later, where one had to study grade by grade. In this era, students were allowed to skip grades.
Campus life in this era has no appeal to him anymore, so he wants to take the college entrance examination as soon as possible, enter university, and then complete the task as quickly as possible.
All this requires him to learn the knowledge learned in junior high and high school.
After school started on Monday, Zhou Chen went to school as he remembered.
Although he is planning to skip a grade, now is not the right time. He needs time to get familiar with this era and the campus of this era. He is also not ready to jump to high school all at once. Everything needs to be done slowly.
That morning, Zhou Chen came to a breakfast shop in Shamao Lane to buy breakfast. His parents had recently switched to the night shift, so there was no one to cook in the morning. He was too lazy to cook, so he took the money his mother gave him and went to a restaurant.
In this era when money was real, a breakfast didn't cost much. Zhou Chen had just finished the last bun, drank the last mouthful of porridge, paid the bill and prepared to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the breakfast shop, he saw two people, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei, who were walking together.
Zhou Chen immediately pushed his 28-inch bicycle and walked over.
That’s right, in this era, the 28-inch bicycle is definitely the mainstream means of transportation. Even though it is just a 28-inch bicycle, it is also a famous brand and ordinary families may not have one.
"Qiao Sanli."
When they heard someone calling them, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei turned their heads.
"Brother Zhou Chen."
As soon as she saw Zhou Chen, Qiao Sanli's eyes turned wide open. It had been a few days since Zhou Chen helped her last time, and she had never met her before. She never thought that she would meet her this morning.
Qiao Simei rolled her eyes and called out, "Brother Zhou Chen, good morning."
Zhou Chen smiled and replied: "Good morning, are you going to school?"
Qiao Sanli nodded and said, "Yeah."
"Just walk there like this?"
Qiao Simei rushed to say, "Yes, Brother Zhou Chen, our school is not far away, how about you ride your bike to give us a ride?"
Qiao Sanli quickly pulled her sister over and said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhou Chen, don't listen to her nonsense. Our school is not far away, and we usually go there this way."
"Who said that? Big brother often sends us home." Qiao Simei retorted.
Qiao Sanli immediately glared at her in dissatisfaction. She knew that her sister was just too lazy to walk and wanted to hitchhike.
Zhou Chen naturally understood, so he smiled and said, "I only have this one car. If you don't mind being crowded, I can take you there."
"this."
Qiao Sanli was still hesitating, but Qiao Simei shouted happily: "Okay, okay, my sister and I are very thin, I will sit in the front and my sister will sit in the back."
This shows the advantage of the 28-inch bicycle. Not only can people sit in the back seats, but also in the front bar.
Qiao Sanli: "Forget it, Brother Zhou Chen, I won't bother you anymore, we can go on our own."
Zhou Chen said, "It's okay. We are neighbors and friends. It's okay for me to give you a ride. Come on up."
Qiao Simei stood in front of Zhou Chen openly, and then said to Qiao Sanli: "Sister, you sit down first."
Qiao Sanli had no choice but to sit in the back seat, and Zhou Chen used his body to support the bike, letting Qiao Simei sit on the big bar in the front, and then pedaled hard.
Under Zhou Chen's control, the 28-inch bicycle quickly started to speed away.
Although Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei are still young, their combined weight is almost 100 pounds. However, Zhou Chen's physical fitness is stronger than that of a healthy adult. Even with two people in the car, he can still control the steering wheel easily and without reducing the speed.
"Brother Zhou Chen, you are such a great rider. My older brother isn't as steady as you."
Qiao Simei was a chatterbox. He felt uneasy sitting on the big bar and spoke to Zhou Chen happily.
"Okay."
"Brother Zhou Chen, what grade are you in? Which school do you go to?"
"I'm in the first grade of junior high school, at Jinling No. 54 Middle School..."
