It's rare for Qiao Wangzu to go home for a meal. Seeing that his daughter is now in college, she will definitely not have to worry about work in the future, and the other children basically don't have to worry about it.That is, the youngest daughter, Simei, is still in high school, but she will graduate soon, and then she will be able to work part-time to earn money.

"It's not easy for our family to be together today!"

Hearing what Qiao Wangzu said, Qiao Simei couldn't help but whispered: "What do you mean it's not easy to get everyone together, but you don't eat at home."

"What do you mean not eating at home, our family, now a happy event is coming. Now two people in our family receive wages, and Sanli doesn't need to spend money here. There will also be wages when you go to practice. Sanli, you will be paid every month. Pay me too."

Qiao Sanli was stunned when she heard it. She wanted to say that she had earned money and was going to return it to Zhao Shucheng first.

But Qiao Wangzu didn't have a chance to speak to Sanli at all, and said: "The days are getting better and better. It's not like before, when I alone took care of the four of you. Your second aunt, like a ghost, is looking for money every now and then. I nag. Now it's finally clean."

Qiao Simi muttered, "Isn't it because of the little money, I haven't understood it after paying it back for so many years."

In fact, Qiao Yicheng and the others felt that what Qiao Wangzu said was wrong. In fact, the money was not much at all.It's just that when the mother died, the second aunt's family helped organize the funeral and lent money to Qiao Wangzu to sell the urn.But for so many years, Qiao Wangzu occasionally paid back a little of this money, but he always relied on more.He even owed Qiao Qiqi's living expenses for one month occasionally.

It was after Qiao Yicheng knew about it that he squeezed out the money from Qiao Wangzu's monthly living expenses to the second aunt and the others. That's why Qiao Qiqi didn't feel that Qiao's family didn't like him.

They didn't even think that Qiao Wangzu had brought them up. Except for a little living allowance every month, they rarely saw Qiao Wangzu, and now they hadn't seen anyone for several months.They were not so much brought up by Qiao Wangzu as they were brought up by Qiao Yicheng.

Qiao Wangzu ignored Qiao Simi's muttering, and instead said: "When Sanli and Simi both go out to work, life at home will be better. Unlike some people, if he thought about his family, he would have gone out to work long ago. , to share the burden for the family. It’s not like now, studying this and that all day long, and I don’t know what to research.”

Seeing that Qiao Yicheng was a little unhappy, Qiao Sanli said, "Dad, today is a happy day, don't talk about such unhappy things."

"Eat slowly, my words are still growing."

Qiao Sanli said: "Dad, my eldest brother is different from us. He is a material for reading, and reading is a good thing."

"I'm going to buy a color TV for our family. It's not like the one at your second aunt's house. It's a fake color TV with a paste. It's a real color TV. Your father and I have a way to get it. I don't need to go to your second aunt's house in the future. My aunt is going to see the Spring Festival Gala."

Qiao Yicheng couldn't listen to Qiao Wangzu's bragging, and said, "Nowadays, as long as you have money, you can buy it in stores. What's the way?"

Seeing Qiao Yicheng blocking his words again, Qiao Wangzu felt a little unhappy, and said, "You are right, if you have money, I should be more generous. You share."

Qiao Simei asked: "Dad, do you want to buy domestic or imported?"

Qiao Wangzu said: "Of course it's made in China. The ordinary Panda brand is fine. It seems to be imported, and it can cost thousands of dollars. Where can we afford it?"

After hearing this, Qiao Simei said, "Dad, don't count on me. I'm still in high school, and the tuition is paid by my elder brother. I don't have a salary, so I can't give you the money."

Qiao Erqiang said, "I'll pay two hundred."

Qiao Sanli is also in a bit of a dilemma. She is still a college student and has no salary at all. Although she occasionally does some part-time jobs, because she doesn't want to have contact with men, there are few jobs she can do, and naturally she can't save much money.

"Dad, I don't have any salary here either. I only have one hundred on hand now."

Qiao Wangzu wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say Sanli, but instead glanced at Qiao Yicheng.

He knew that although his son hadn't gone out to work yet, he was still writing articles and manuscripts for others and earning some money.

"Well, there is still a gap of more than 400."

But seeing that Qiao Yicheng didn't answer at all, he couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Yicheng, you don't have anything to say? Many of our neighbors have color TVs. I have raised so many Children, in the end you can't even see a color TV, so don't make people laugh, okay?"

"That person pretended to be poor with me. I know you have. You help others in the store outside, give tuition to the little doll, and your article is published in the newspaper. It can't be white? It used to be called a brush fee. It’s called manuscript fee now. I’m not that kind of illiterate, I understand.”

Qiao Yicheng didn't bother to talk to Qiao Wangzu, because he was very worried that he would really get the money back. Maybe Qiao Wangzu just took the money to gamble, but there was no shadow of the color TV.

Seeing Qiao Yicheng leaving with the bowl, Qiao Wangzu couldn't help but patted the table and said, "Someone pretends not to hear me, selfish! I've never seen such a selfish person."

Seeing that Qiao Yicheng still didn't speak, Qiao Wangzu looked angrily at the remaining children. When he saw Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei, he suddenly thought of an idea.

When Zhao Shucheng was writing at home, he heard a knock on the door, and it was still knocked vigorously. He couldn't help wondering who was so short-sighted.

You must know that since Zhao Shucheng's novels were published abroad, recently he entrusted a publishing house to publish a new novel, earning a large amount of foreign exchange.Although there is no publicity, most of the people who can come to Zhao Shucheng will not be so irritable.

After Zhao Shucheng opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man standing at the door, and was about to knock on the door.

Zhao Shucheng recognized at a glance that this was Qiao Yicheng's father, Qiao Wangzu.

Zhao Shucheng was a little surprised that Qiao Wangzu came to find him. Although he had a good relationship with Qiao Yicheng's brother and sister, he had no contact with Qiao Wangzu. How could he come back to find him?

Seeing Zhao Shucheng open the door, Qiao Wangzu sneered and said, "Xiao Zhao, you are at home!"

Qiao Wangzu saw that his eldest son was unwilling to pay for a color TV for him yesterday, and when he saw his daughter, he remembered that Zhao Shucheng had a good relationship with his daughter, otherwise he would not have supported his daughter in high school and college.

Maybe I will become Zhao Shucheng's old father-in-law in the future, so if I buy a color TV at home, since my son is not willing to pay for it, it is not impossible to ask my son-in-law to pay for it.

What's more, although he is a bit of an idler, he is still very well informed. He knows that Zhao Shucheng made a lot of money writing novels before, otherwise he would not be able to move to such a small western-style building.

So the good idea he came up with yesterday was to come to Zhao Shucheng to ask for money, of course it wouldn't be such an unskilled thing to ask for money, it could be regarded as a gift money from Zhao Shucheng for his daughter.

However, Qiao Wangzu also thought very clearly that if his daughter married Zhao Shucheng, she would definitely not only need more than 400 yuan in gift money.Because the exact amount of Zhao Shucheng's money is not clear, but this house costs tens of thousands, and at least a few thousand yuan should be given as a bride price.

Zhao Shucheng recognized Qiao Wangzu, and couldn't help but said, "Uncle Qiao, why are you here?"

Qiao Wangzu looked at Zhao Shucheng standing at the door and said, "Xiao Zhao, are you just standing here talking to your uncle Qiao?"

Zhao Shucheng actually didn't want Qiao Wangzu to come in, but standing at the door was really outrageous, so he could only take a step back and let Qiao Wangzu talk in the living room.

After Qiao Wangzu walked in, seeing the furnishings and space in the house, he suddenly felt that the old house he regarded as his life was a bit unsavory.

But he also knew very well that if he asked Zhao Shucheng to use this house as a betrothal gift, Zhao Shucheng would probably never agree, and would instead directly draw a line with his daughter.

Although he is selfish, he also knows what is enough and what is good enough.

"Xiao Zhao, you are really earning money with your writing. This house costs a lot of money, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Qiao, you sit down first, and I'll pour you a cup of tea."

"no, I'm fine!"

Although Qiao Wangzu said this, he didn't intend to stop Zhao Shucheng at all. Instead, he sat on the sofa, as if he had returned to his own home.

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and went to the kitchen, poured two cups of tea, and then came out with them.

"Uncle Joe, please drink tea! Tell me if you have anything to say."

Qiao Wangzu took a sip from the teacup, and said pretendingly, "Good tea, good tea! This is really good tea, so it should be considered a treasure, right?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "I'm not very clear about this, it was given to me by other people. If you like it, you can take a bag back with you when you leave."

Qiao Wangzu smiled and said, "How embarrassing!" But he said he was embarrassed, but there was no sign of embarrassment on his face.

"Xiao Zhao, I came to look for you today because I have something to look for you."

"Uncle Joe, tell me."

Qiao Wangzu said: "Actually, you sponsored Sanli's high school and college, which makes me a little ashamed as a father."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Really, then Uncle Qiao is here to help Sanli pay back the money today?"

Qiao Wangzu was drinking tea, he choked when he heard Zhao Shucheng say that, he coughed twice before recovering.

"Ahem, about paying back the money, Sanli said she wants to do it herself, so I won't get involved. I came to you because of other things. Xiao Zhao, what do you think of our Sanli? "

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, wondering why Qiao Wangzu mentioned Sanli?Soon Zhao Shucheng understood that this Qiao Wangzu was not trying to be a matchmaker for Sanli, was he?
"Sanli is a nice girl, kind, sensible, and pretty."

After hearing this, Qiao Wangzu said happily: "Yes, I knew you had vision. Otherwise, when Sanli was in high school, you wouldn't have supported Sanli to go to school. It's not that I'm telling you, you can't find it in Shamao Alley. A prettier girl than my niece."
