A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1082 The Qiao family's ancestor is (please order the whole thing!)

The kitchen of the Qiao family's old house was in the yard, an independent room. Hua Twelve went in and took a look around, looking at the rice jar and cupboards. He found that there was some grain rice in the jar, but not much, just enough for one or two meals. In addition, there were some vegetables and peanuts, and nothing else.

No wonder Wei Shufang refused to come for dinner. She probably thought Qiao Zuwang invited her to get something for free.

"How poor!"

Thinking about how Qiao Zuwang still had five or six dollars in his pocket but his family didn't even have enough rice to eat a few meals, Hua Twelve felt that this scumbag father was simply too unreliable.

I cooked a pot of mixed grain rice, fried some peanuts, washed and chopped the vegetables, and took out a piece of 'fine pork' from another world from the storage space to make a stir-fried vegetable and meat dish.

As the aroma of fried dishes wafted out, it immediately attracted three little ones. Qiao Erqiang brought the two little kids Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei, and they looked inside through the kitchen window. They drooled at the sight of the fried dishes.

The two little kids, Sanli and Simei, were not even as tall as the window, so they had to stand on a bench to reach the window.

Hua Shier noticed that Qiao Yicheng didn't come over, so he smiled and asked outside the window while cooking:

"Erqiang, where's your brother?"

Qiao Erqiang swallowed his saliva and pointed into the house: "She's taking care of Qiqi in there!"

Hua Twelve smiled and shook his head. When Qiao Qiqi was discharged from the hospital, the nurse fed her sugar water and porridge. She had also urinated before and was sleeping soundly now. What was there to take care of? It was probably just an excuse made by Qiao Yicheng.

In the original plot, Qiao Yicheng had the problem of being too worried. He liked to keep everything in his heart and handle everything by himself, not telling even his closest people. In the end, due to years of overwork and a bunch of troubles in the Qiao family, he became ill.

This character is actually caused by family factors. His mother is gone and he has a scumbag father. Qiao Yicheng is the eldest son, and his younger brothers and sisters are still not easy to take care of. He can only bear the hardships by himself and learn to be strong. Gradually, his mind becomes serious.

It seems that this sign should have appeared now, probably because of the death of his mother Wei Shuying, he has developed a knot in his heart towards him as his 'father'.

Hua Shier felt that in order to change Qiao Yicheng's fate, it would be best to have a good talk with his eldest son, get him to change his bad habit of being too thoughtful, and give him a happy childhood like other children of the same age.

He took the stir-fried vegetables and meat out of the pot and put them on a plate. He walked out with the two plates of food. When Qiao Erqiang saw that there was meat in the vegetables, he shouted happily:

"There's meat to eat, there's meat to eat!"

Hua Twelve smiled and kicked him: "Keep your voice down, or the neighbors will hear you. Go get the dishes and chopsticks, and we'll have dinner soon!"

After entering the old house, they placed two dishes on the Qiao family's eight-immortals table. Qiao Erqiang set the table and took the initiative to serve the rice. He was very well-behaved and sensible.

Qiao Yicheng came over to help Qiao Erqiang, but when he saw the large plate of peanuts and stir-fried vegetables with meat, he was immediately stunned. He didn't look happy at all and turned around and ran to the kitchen.

After a while, he ran back, looking angry and aggrieved, and shouted at Hua Twelve:

"Why did you cook rice and vegetables? We'll eat them all today. What will we do in the future?"

After Qiao Yicheng shouted like this, the three little ones who were originally in high spirits immediately calmed down. Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei were too young, and when their eldest brother yelled at them, even though he was not yelling at them, they pouted and had tears in their eyes.

Hua Shier took out twenty yuan from his pocket and slapped it on the table:

"You are so stupid, talking to your father like that? If you don't have rice or vegetables, then go buy some. I, Qiao Zuwang, will not let you starve!"

"Put the money away. From now on, the four of you will be responsible for buying groceries. Go together, or you won't be able to make a scene if you start arguing with others!"

Qiao Yicheng put the money away without saying a word, and Hua Twelve snorted:

"Have a meal!"

During the meal, except for Qiao Yicheng, who was a little brooding person with something on his mind, the meal was full of laughter and joy.

Qiao Simei is the youngest and speaks without restraint:

"Dad, meat is delicious. I want to eat meat again in the future."

Hua Twelve pinched Qiao Simei's little face and said, "Okay, okay, okay, eat meat every day from now on, and make our Simei a fat dumpling."

Just when everyone was having a great time, a child crying was heard from the east room. It was Qiao Qiqi who woke up.

Hua Shier hurried over to see the child, and the four children followed him.

“I peed again!”

Hua Twelve saw that the diaper was wet, so he took out a clean diaper and called the four children over. While changing the diapers, he gave the children instructions:

"Learn from here, from now on, you brothers and sisters will change Qiqi's diapers. Don't trouble your old father for trivial matters. I'm over 30 years old and I still have to worry about you!"

He would never admit that he was a bad father. This is called training a child. Experts in later generations all said that children's hands-on ability should be cultivated as early as possible. Well, that's it.

Hua Twelve., what a good father!

Qiao Erqiang, Qiao Sanli, and even the youngest Qiao Simei were all very serious about learning how to change diapers. Only Qiao Yicheng had a complicated look in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Qiqi.

Hua Shier saw it all and took it to heart. He knew that his eldest son had a knot in his heart, so he decided to have a good talk with him in the evening.

After changing the diaper, Qiao Qiqi continued to cry. Hua Twelve suddenly realized:

“I’m hungry!”

Qiao Erqiang said, "Dad, Aunt Wu next door said that if there is no milk powder, we can drink some thinner porridge with some sugar."

Qiao Yicheng looked at Hua Twelve with a cold face: "You have cooked all the food in the rice jar. It's so late now, where can you get food to make porridge?"

After saying that, he didn't even bother to show Hua Twelve a good face, and turned and left: "I'm going to borrow some food from Aunt Wu's house, and I'll buy some and return it to her tomorrow."

Hua Twelve laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you are here to teach your father a lesson. What's the point? Are you rebelling against Tian Gang? Come back here. Why is a child drinking porridge? It's like Mother Wang raising a goose, which gets thinner and thinner. I, your father, bought milk powder for Qiqi."

He asked the four children to look after Qiqi while he went to the kitchen and took out a box of infant formula powder in a metal can from later times from the storage space.

Hua Shier also has children in other worlds, so he naturally stockpiled some milk powder in his storage space as a backup, which now comes in handy.

However, the milk powder could be drunk, but the can could not be kept, otherwise something bad would definitely happen. I immediately searched around the kitchen and finally saw the can of pickled vegetables.

He immediately threw away the pickles, cleaned the bottle, poured the milk powder into it, and put the tin can back into the storage space.

He took the cans and bottles, and called his four children:

"Now, Dad will teach you how to make milk powder."

Well, this also exercises children's hands-on ability.

I don’t know whether the four children learned it or not, but they kept drooling over the prepared milk powder.

Qiao Simei said weakly: "I'll just lick it."

Hua Twelve smiled and touched her little head: "This milk powder is not delicious, it is for babies."

He was not lying. Milk powder in later generations was added with some vitamins, DHA, taurine and so on. Not only was it not sweet, it also had a faint fishy smell. It was nutritious, but not tasty.

Halfway through his speech, seeing the eager looks of the little ones, Hua Twelve changed his words:

"Okay, I'll get you some too, but just try it!"

A bowl was made for the four little ones. Qiao Yicheng didn't drink it, but Qiao Erqiang took a sip and grimaced, thinking it was a bit fishy. But Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei drank it all.

Hua Shier demonstrated to the four little ones how to feed and burp the milk. In short, he was going to be the hands-off manager as far as Qiao Qiqi was concerned. Well, the main purpose was to train the children!

Leaving Qiao Qiqi in the care of a few young boys, Hua Shier went into Qiao Zuwang's room, rolled up the bedding and put it away, took out new bedding and laid it out, and also replaced all other personal items.

When he came out again, Qiao Qiqi had eaten and drunk his fill and was back to sleep.

Hua Shier was sitting on a wooden chair in the yard smoking. He turned around and looked into the room, and saw Erqiang, Sanli, and Simei all standing around the bed looking at their brother. Only Qiao Yicheng was sitting aside with an inexplicable expression!

He thought for a moment and called out, "Yicheng, come here!"

Qiao Yicheng stood up and walked out of the room, stood in front of him, and said nothing.

Hua Twelve bit his cigarette, squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you think Qiqi is a suspect?"

Suspect means "annoying" in Jinling dialect. Qiao Yicheng shook his head coldly: "No!" It was obvious that he was not sincere.

Hua Twelve simply pointed it out directly:

"Do you think your mother died giving birth to Qiqi? Or did you listen to the gossip from the neighbors, saying that Qiqi is not from our Qiao family?" Qiao Yicheng finally couldn't hold it in anymore and lowered his head. In fact, there were two reasons, and Hua Twelve got them all right.

Before, at Wei Shuying's funeral, Qiao Yicheng heard a neighbor talking about Wei Shuying and Qi Zhiqiang, and said that Qiao Qiqi did not look like a member of the old Qiao family. Although he was young, he knew that this was not a good thing for his mother. He got angry and started a quarrel with the neighbor. Although he was finally comforted by Aunt Wu and the others, he still felt a thorn in his heart.

The reason why Hua Shier knew this was because in the original plot, Qiao Yicheng, as the eldest brother, cared about everything about Erqiang, Sanli, and Simei, but he didn't care much about Qiao Qiqi who was fostered in his second aunt's home. This was the reason.

In the end, Qiao Qiqi donated a kidney to the sick Qiao Yicheng, which helped Qiao Yicheng truly resolve the knot in his heart.

When Hua Twelve saw Qiao Yicheng like this, he knew he was right. He leaned back in his chair, took a puff of cigarette, and then sighed:

"Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. In fact, it was the same when your mother gave birth to you. It's just that she was unlucky this time. She sacrificed her life to give birth to Qiqi. As the eldest brother, you must cherish and protect this younger brother even more. You must take good care of Qiqi for your mother."

"As for those gossips, they are not true. Just treat them as bullshit. If your mother had not been sincere to your father, could she have given birth to five children for our Qiao family?"

As he spoke, Qiao Yicheng listened with his head down, seeming to be somewhat touched. Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Hua Twelve as if he had met Qiao Zuwang for the first time.

"Why do you feel different? If you were so nice before, would my mother not have to suffer so much?"

As Qiao Yicheng spoke, tears started to flow, and there was some resentment in his eyes as he looked at Hua Twelve.

Hua Shier felt that since they had talked about this much today, he might as well resolve his eldest son's knot.

He shouted into the house, "Erqiang, come out too. Let Sanli and Simei watch Qiqi. I have something to say to you two brothers!"

Qiao Erqiang walked out and saw his elder brother crying. He immediately felt sad. He walked to Qiao Yicheng and stood beside him, not daring to say a word.

The 12th actor Hua is possessed:

"One percent, blame me for not letting your mother enjoy life. Your father has something to say about this. In fact, our Qiao family is not an ordinary family. Our ancestor is the great hero Qiao Feng from the Northern Song Dynasty. Back then, he was known as the Qiao Feng of the North and the Murong of the South. Shaolin and Wudang had to stand aside."

"Later, when your grandfather captured Nanjing, he killed the master of the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect and some traitors who defected to the devils. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some of the traitors who survived by chance were looking for revenge on our Qiao family!"

"Don't think that your father plays cards and makes trouble all the time and neglects the family. That's just for show. I'm just trying to protect you. I'm very good to your mother. We love each other and have a harmonious relationship. Otherwise, how could she give birth to five children for you?"

The fantastic martial arts story left the two brothers, who were only in elementary school, stunned.

Especially since they had all seen Qiao Zuwang doing some dancing and practicing qigong, they used to think he was practicing the same thing as the old men in the alley, but now it seemed that he had real kung fu.

Qiao Yicheng still had some brains and questioned: "Then why don't you pretend now?"

Hua Twelve sighed: "Your mother has a hard life. I, your father, also just received the news that our enemy has died. We don't have to be afraid anymore. But we still have to keep this matter secret. Keep a low profile. Don't tell anyone!"

Qiao Yicheng looked at Hua Twelve suspiciously: "I still don't believe it!"

"You little idiot, you don't even believe your father's words!"

Hua Twelve cursed with a smile, stood up, and lightly jumped up to the old house, then floated down again, looking at his two stunned sons, and raised his chin:

"Qinggong, Yan Zi and Li San are not as good as me, believe it!"

As expected, the effect of showing off one's skills was obvious. Qiao Yicheng's knot was untied at that moment. It turned out that his father was unreliable and haunted before, and he had his own unspeakable secrets.

Once he believed one thing, he also believed everything else Hua Twelve said. He thought that his father must be very good to his mother, otherwise why would his mother be willing to give birth to five children for the Qiao family.

Hua Twelve’s reason is perfect!

After his knot was untied, Qiao Yicheng felt a little embarrassed and followed Qiao Erqiang to pester Hua Shier to learn kung fu.

Hua Twelve waved his hand and said, "You can learn Kung Fu, but you have to wait until you grow up a little bit and your bones are fully formed before you can practice. Now your father has something more important to tell you!"

"Since our Qiao family is a martial arts family, we must have ancestral precepts. Remember this: male members of the Qiao family cannot marry women with the surname Ye or Ma, especially those who are eight years older than you. Don't ask why. This is a rule passed down by our ancestors. Anyone who breaks the rule will have his hands, legs, or ribs broken!"

Well, if you ask the ancestor of the Qiao family, Qiao Zuwang, from now on, this is group training!

Ma Suqin: Your surname is Ma, you are eight years older than me, just give me your ID card directly!

Hua Shier coaxed his two sons into a daze and then went back to sleep happily.

The next morning, Hua Shier woke up to the sound of Qiao Qiqi crying. He waited for a while before going out, wanting to see what to do with the four children. When he came out, he saw Qiao Erqiang holding the children and Qiao Yichen making milk powder.

I couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. This boy is teachable!

Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei were also woken up. They rubbed their eyes and came over to hug Hua Twelve's thighs, saying the same words again:

"Dad, I'm hungry!"

"Okay, your old dad will cook for you!"

Hua Twelve walked to the kitchen, feeling a little anxious. He had already cooked all the dishes for dinner yesterday, but now he couldn't cook anything. He thought, what about taking the finished dishes from the storage space? It just so happened that he hadn't eaten sea cucumber with scallions for a long time.

But on second thought, the child is young, not stupid. If he talks about martial arts, he can show off his skills to prove himself. But it would be hard to explain if he took out food out of thin air. After all, he didn't buy any vegetables when he came back yesterday. He took out hot sea cucumbers and braised pork, etc. Who doesn't know that there is something wrong with them?

I sighed. If I had known I would not write a martial arts story last night, it would have been better to talk about cultivating immortals instead!

Just when I was thinking of giving Qiao Yicheng money to go out and buy some breakfast, I heard the sound of a chicken clucking in the corner of the yard.

Qiao Erqiang hugged Qiao Qiqi and shouted, "Dad, the hen has laid eggs. Can you help me pick them up?"

Hua Shier was immediately happy, as he had breakfast. He walked over and felt around in the chicken coop, and sure enough, there was an egg. When he took it out, it had become six. The other five were of course in the storage space.

But he pretended to be serious: "Oh, this chicken is not ordinary, it laid six eggs today!"

The little ones were all surprised. When they saw Hua Twelve holding three eggs in each hand, they all shouted:

"Really!"

Hua Twelve laughed: "Then you see, your old man can't deceive you, so I just steamed it all for your breakfast!"

As he walked towards the kitchen, he turned back and added:

"By the way, from now on, I, your old man, will go to the chicken coop to look for eggs myself. Maybe I can get six every time!"

I steamed a big pot of egg cake with six eggs. When it came out of the pot, a little sesame oil dripped on it, and the children licked the bowl clean.

Hua Shier reminded Qiao Yicheng: "After school, you and Erqiang, don't forget to buy food and vegetables, otherwise you won't have anything to eat in the evening!"

As Qiao Yicheng was clearing the dishes, he said, "You have to give us tickets to buy food and vegetables. Besides, we are going to school, and you have to go to work. What about Qiqi?"

Hua Shier took out some meat and vegetable coupons and gave them to Qiao Yicheng, telling him not to be frugal. If Simei wanted to eat meat every day, then she could eat meat once a day.

As for Qiao Qiqi's matter, Hua Shier thought about it. In the original plot, Qiao Yicheng asked the older sister Wu next door to help take care of Qiqi for a few days. He simply went to her house and discussed with Wu to help take care of Qiqi during the day.

It doesn’t matter if the other party disagrees, just pay the ten dollars.

In the original plot, Qiao Zuwang asked his sister-in-law Wei Shufang to help raise Qiao Qiqi, and only paid her seven yuan a month. Two years later, the amount was increased by two yuan. This time, Hua Shier directly paid ten yuan and only took care of her during the day, which made the sister Wu next door so happy that she agreed without hesitation.

He put on his work clothes and went to the company. Qiao Zuwang's company was a welfare labor protection factory that produced some labor protection supplies. Hua Shier's job was to watch the warehouse. He just had to move a chair and sit at the door of the warehouse to drink tea, and record the goods in and out of the warehouse. It was very easy.

Hua Shier spent a whole day basking in the sun at the door of the warehouse, absorbing light energy and strengthening his physique, and he felt extremely comfortable.

Of course, there are also some downsides, which is that the body is full of energy from basking in the sun, and I feel full even without having lunch.

Nothing happened that day. When I woke up the next morning, I heard Qiao Erqiang crying. Qiao Yicheng didn't say anything, but his face didn't look very good. Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei puffed up their faces and looked at their second brother angrily.

After Hua Twelve came out, he said with a look of disdain:

"Hey, young man, you even dropped some golden beans!"

Qiao Erqiang held an egg and said, "Dad, the hen laid only one egg today. They said it was because I went to touch it that there was one less egg."

Hua Twelve laughed loudly; "I've already told you that I, your old man, will pick it up later. You are such a fool that you can't recognize yourself. Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. Let me feel around and see if you missed anything!"

He walked over and reached into the chicken coop with both hands. When he took it out, there were five more eggs.

From that day on, the Qiao family in Shamao Lane and their six-egg reed chicken became famous!

When he was going to work in the morning, he just walked out of the alley and heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Li Heman, who ran a grocery store, with a smile on his face:

"Old Joe, do you want tonight?"

As he said this, he made a gesture of playing cards.

Hua Twelve smiled and said meaningfully: "Yes, of course I don't want to, I've wanted to find you for a long time, do you know that?"

Li Heman waved his hand and said, "It's a deal!"

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
