A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1102: The First Green Tea! (Please order the whole thing!)

PS: 5800 words, that’s considered an extra chapter, hehe, please give me your monthly votes.

When Hua Shier saw that the reporter interviewing Qiao Yicheng was named Ye Xiaolang, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he became alert.

This woman doesn't look like a good person!

Ye Xiaolang, Qiao Yicheng’s first wife in the original plot, is also the number one green tea in the original plot. Regardless of whether others agree or not, this is what Hua Shier thinks after watching the drama, and there is no other opinion about her.

Even the scumbag Qi Chenggang that Qiao Simei met later was one level behind this woman.

If Hua Twelve didn't want Qiao Yicheng to associate with Wen Ju'an because that girl was full of negative energy, then Ye Xiaolang was a calamity in the life of his eldest son Qiao Yicheng.

This woman will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. In the original plot, Qiao Yicheng did not study medicine. Instead, after graduating from a normal university with a master's degree, he joined Jinling TV Station to work as a reporter. Because of work, he met Ye Xiaolang, a female reporter from a tabloid, and they developed a romantic relationship.

During their relationship, Ye Xiaolang stole Qiao Yicheng's press release, signed his own name on it, and published it in the newspaper publication where she worked. This behavior almost caused Qiao Yicheng to cause a news accident at the TV station, and he was severely criticized by the station's leaders.

But afterwards, Ye Xiaolang acted coquettishly and cutely, admitted her mistake with a grin, and after a few words of tea, Qiao Yicheng, who was too embarrassed to admit his mistake, forgave her.

Later, the two got married. Ye Xiaolang concealed the fact that she had written an IOU to her family before marriage because of going to college, so that on the wedding day, her parents dragged Qiao Yicheng to collect the debt.

Qiao Yicheng was also honest. He felt that husband and wife were one body. Since they were married, he had the obligation to help pay back the money Ye Xiaolang owed, so he paid the money without telling Ye Xiaolang.

If it were just this, it would be fine if Ye Xiaolang could live a peaceful life. The couple are both journalists with good careers and good incomes, so their lives will surely become more and more promising.

But Ye Xiaolang has a restless heart. She wants to go abroad, and once she goes abroad, she doesn't want to come back.

At first, Ye Xiaolang wanted to take Qiao Yicheng to go abroad with him, but Qiao Yicheng was worried about his younger brother and sister-in-law and had no plans to go abroad at all.

Ye Xiaolang didn't care and simply resigned from his job to study for the TOEFL exam at home.

Well, it doesn’t matter if I have no income. I still eat and drink at my husband’s expense, and I’ve even made plans to abandon him.

During this period, Ye Xiaolang's parents came to the city to fight Qiao Yicheng's Qiu Feng. They were a very good family.

When Ye Xiaolang went abroad, Qiao Yicheng gave her a lot of money and also gave her the IOU that he had redeemed from her parents.

When the woman saw the money and the IOU on the plane, she was so moved that she shed tears. After being abroad for a while, she sent Qiao Yicheng a divorce agreement.

It’s just so green and so tea-like!

In the original plot, Qiao Zuwang was a scumbag father who didn't care about his son's affairs at all. Now Hua Shier has replaced Qiao Zuwang, and naturally he can't let his eldest son follow his old path. Anyone who dares to hurt his son will be sent to South Africa to mine.

Hua Shier carried his twin sons home. He Qing, who was watching TV at home, saw that his face was not right, so he took the two sons and asked with a smile:

"What's wrong? Did you lose the chess game again?"

Hua Twelve said unhappily:

"I'm holding two kids, why play chess? Besides, I usually let those losers like Lao Wang at the end of the alley play. If I show even a little bit of my ability, they won't be my opponent. I'm afraid they will lose and won't play with me!"

He Qing chuckled: "Just brag, it's not about playing chess, then why do you look so unhappy?"

Hua Twelve didn't say anything. He couldn't explain this matter. He couldn't say that he was a prophet and predicted that a bad woman would harm his son.

He picked up the phone and wanted to call Qiao Yicheng, but after thinking about it, he put it back. He felt that it would be too deliberate to call him about such a small matter. It would be better to wait until his eldest son came home for dinner in the evening and then try to find out the answer indirectly.

In the blink of an eye, it was dinner time. According to the rules set by old father Hua Shier, all the children in Nanjing came back for dinner, except Qiao Simei who was studying in Beijing.

Qiao Erqiang was still the one who cooked. The six dishes and one soup were all very tasty and beautiful. Hua Twelve could see that this guy was holding back a lot of energy and was waiting for him to invest in the catering industry.

Qiao Yicheng, the eldest brother, picked up some food for his two youngest brothers, Qiao Zhuoran and He Pingan:

"Eat this braised lion's head. Your second brother's cooking is getting better and better!"

The two little ones had their mouths full of oil and were too lazy to talk. They could only nod their heads to agree with their eldest brother.

He Qing helped his sons wipe their mouths, reminded them to eat slowly, and praised them:

"The dishes cooked by Erqiang are really good!"

Sanli gave Erqiang a thumbs up, and Qiao Qiqi nodded vigorously: "Second brother's cooking is better than that of other restaurants!"

Qiao Erqiang laughed: "It's all because of my dad's good teaching!"

Hua Twelve laughed and scolded, "Stop flattering me. Don't worry, when you have learned business management well, I will invest in you to open a store. I have already given you a name, South Beauty. Let's see what you can do with it!"

Qiao Erqiang's eyes almost disappeared with laughter: "Thank you, Dad!"

Hua Twelve looked at Qiao Sanli:

"Sanli, how are your studies going recently? Traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. Are you still keeping up?"

Qiao Sanli laughed:

"Dad, don't worry. The things we learn in school are not difficult at all compared to what you taught me. Our tutor and department head are still discussing issues with me all day long. I regret studying Chinese medicine. I should have studied Western medicine like my elder brother!"

"And our mentor wanted to learn our family's needlework. I told him that it was inherited from our ancestors and was not to be passed on to anyone else!"

Hua Shier couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this. His medical skills were laid by Xu Lingtai, a famous doctor in Jiangnan, in the "Fox World". Later, he studied with Ping Yizhi, a famous doctor who killed people, in the "Swordsman World". After that, when he was emperor several times, he often communicated with the imperial doctors and read many rare medical books and classics.

As far as Traditional Chinese Medicine is concerned, although Hua Shier has not worked very hard on it, he is no worse than Ping Yizhi back then. Of course, this only refers to his medical skills. If his other abilities are taken into account, there is no disease in this world that he cannot cure.

Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli studied medicine with him. As long as they could learn three of his skills, they would be considered national masters of traditional Chinese medicine in this era when traditional Chinese medicine is declining.

When I think about it, it’s just like Sanli said, I can’t learn anything in school.

Hua Twelve couldn't help but shook his head and laughed: "Then just think of it as a diploma. Once you get the Chinese medicine practitioner qualification certificate, you will be qualified to sit in the clinic and see patients!"

“As for the Da Zhou Tian acupuncture, although things that can cure diseases and save lives should be promoted and popularized, this acupuncture method has too high requirements for the user. If the national martial arts have not developed strength, they can only play the superficial aspects of this acupuncture method. If it is passed on, the effect will not be great. If it is not handled properly, others may not be able to save people with this acupuncture method, and they may even be hurt, which will ruin our family’s reputation. So in the future, we will follow Sanli’s words and never pass it on to others!”

Qiao Sanli and Qiao Yicheng both nodded and said they understood.

Hua Shier turned to Qiao Yicheng and finally talked about tonight's business:

"Yicheng, old dad has been waiting for you for a long time, and you don't have any good news, so why don't you tell me?"

"What happy event?"

Qiao Yicheng was stunned for a moment, then thought of something:

"Oh, the hospital wanted to talk to me and said they wanted to give me an advanced title. You know all about this!"

Erqiang and Sanli's eyes lit up: "Really, big brother, you are really awesome!"

Hua Shier took out a newspaper and slapped it in front of Qiao Yicheng:

"Is this what I'm talking about? You didn't even bother telling your father when it was in the newspaper to make him happy. I didn't know about it until your Aunt Wu next door saw it and told me!"

Erqiang and Sanli were both scrambling to read the newspaper, but Qiao Yicheng smiled and said:

"This isn't a happy event. I just received a lot of silk banners and thank-you letters from patients recently. Somehow the newspaper got to know about it and insisted on doing an interview with me. But thanks to this interview, otherwise the evaluation of advanced workers would be based on seniority and I wouldn't have gotten my turn!"

Hua Twelve asked nonchalantly, "So, this reporter did help you. Didn't you thank him?"

Qiao Yicheng said as he ate his meal: "Well, Dad, it's true what you said. How about I treat her to a meal later?"

Hua Twelve beat his chest, why did he say that? He quickly said:

"There's no need to have a meal. Favors require a reciprocity. She helped you this time. Next time she has a miscarriage, heavy bleeding, or a serious injury that requires surgery, you can help her, too."

The others were all at a loss for words when he said this. He Qing hit Hua Twelve:

"How can you talk like that!"

Qiao Yicheng was speechless: "Dad, can't you just hope for her to be nice? She's a pretty cheerful girl!"

Hua Twelve simply said: "You can't invite her to dinner. Don't forget what our ancestors taught you. Stay away from her. Don't let me, your father, clean up the mess when you lose control of yourself!"

Qiao Yicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? That's not the case!"

He Qing was a little curious and asked, "Old Qiao, what is this ancestral precept? How come I don't know it?"

Hua Twelve did not speak. He Qing turned around and asked Er Qiang:

"Er Qiang, you say!"

Qiao Erqiang looked at Hua Twelve, then said to He Qing:

"Mom, Dad said that the Qiao family's ancestral precept is not to marry a woman with the surname Ye or Ma, especially one who is eight years older than you!"

He Qing laughed out loud:

"How come there are age regulations? Does it mean you can't marry a younger woman?"

Hua Twelve replied at lightning speed: "That's fine!"

Seeing him like this, He Qing couldn't help laughing: "Virtue!"

Qiao Yicheng finished his meal, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and asked curiously:

"Dad, we were ignorant when we were young, but now we are all grown up. Can you tell us why our family's ancestral precept says we can't marry someone with the surname Ye or Ma?"

Erqiang and Sanli also nodded: "Yes, Dad, I want to know too!"

He Qing smiled and said, "Old Qiao, just tell me!" "This."

Hua Twelve had never thought of a reason before, but now he had to make one up on the spot. His eyes turned:

"You've all seen Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, right? Madam Ma and Ye Erniang, the two villains, have a blood feud with your ancestor Qiao Feng, so you can't marry a woman with the surname Ye or Ma."

Qiao Erqiang said quickly, "Dad, Madam Ma's surname isn't Ma, her name is Kang Min. Besides, Patriarch Qiao Feng has no grudge against Ye Erniang, only against her husband Xuanci!"

Hua Twelve said unhappily, "I've already told you that Jin Daxia adapted the novel based on our family's story. Do you understand what adaptation means? In fact, Madam Ma is Ye Erniang. They are the same person. A woman surnamed Ye married an old man surnamed Ma, and Guan's husband's surname was Ma. In the end, they became enemies with our family, and have nothing to do with the old monk!"

He Qing just smiled. She was Hua Twelve's bedmate, and she knew her husband was talking nonsense as soon as she saw his expression.

However, she also knew that Hua Twelve would not cheat his son, so she did not expose him.

Hua Shier finally gave Qiao Yichen a few more words of advice, asking him to stay away from the woman surnamed Ye. The latter nodded in agreement, and the matter was over.

But what was unexpected was that a few days later, Hua Shier went to Xuanwu Lake to fish. On his way home in the afternoon, he saw Qiao Yicheng walking on the sidewalk with a young girl. That young girl looked exactly like Ye Xiaolang in the original plot.

Hua Shier quickly turned around and found a deserted place, put the fishing gear and bicycle into the storage space, then took out the invisibility cloak and put it on, and chased after Qiao Yicheng and the other man who were walking away.

When I walked behind them, I heard Ye Xiaolang say with a smile:

"By the way, Qiao Yicheng, I heard that you were selected as an advanced worker. Is that my credit?"

Qiao Yicheng smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much, if it weren't for your report, it really wouldn't be my turn!"

Ye Xiaolang became even happier. He turned his head to look at Qiao Yicheng and said in a slightly mischievous tone:

"So how are you going to thank me?"

Qiao Yicheng was a little reserved when facing Ye Xiaolang:

"I wanted to give you a gift, but I didn't expect to meet you on the road today, and I didn't prepare anything. How about I treat you to a meal?"

"Okay!" Ye Xiaolang clapped his hands: "Then let's go to your house!"

"my home?"

Qiao Yicheng shook his head: "Not so good, since it's a thank you, it's better to be formal, I'll treat you to a restaurant!"

Ye Xiaolang said with a smile:

"That's such a waste. Besides, I don't want to eat in a restaurant. Last time I interviewed you, you said you moved out of your old house and lived on your own. Let's go to your place and you cook for me, okay?"

Hua Shier, wearing an invisibility cloak, followed behind the two of them, and curled his lips as he listened.

How could she go straight to a boy's house? This woman is really unreserved. No wonder in the original plot, Ye Xiaolang's best friend mentioned her ex-boyfriend with the word "they".

Just think about it, in this newly liberalized era, girls in their twenties whose ex-boyfriends can be described as "they" are rare. They are basically the kind of women who have a more relaxed lifestyle.

Qiao Yicheng hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Ye Xiaolang's request:

"Well, just walk to the street ahead and turn the corner and you'll be there!"

Ye Xiaolang asked in surprise, "Isn't it Jiangsu Road on the other side? Do you live on Jiangsu Road?"

When Qiao Yicheng and Ye Xiaolang walked to the front of their small western-style building, the latter's eyes lit up and he asked in disbelief:

"Qiao Yicheng, don't tell me this is your family. I know your dad is a big star, but I didn't expect he's so rich!"

Qiao Yicheng smiled and opened the door: "Come in first!"

After the two men entered the door, Hua Shier was about to follow in, but Ye Xiaolang turned around and closed the door.

Hua Shier finally realized that this woman clearly had no good intentions towards his son!

His eyes turned and he suddenly had an idea. He turned back home to pick up his two twin sons and came to the small western-style building again.

When the door was knocked, Qiao Zhuoran and He Pingan opened their hands and shouted:

"Big brother, give me a hug."

When Qiao Yicheng saw his old father, he was obviously a little nervous. He picked up his two younger brothers, one in each hand:

"Dad, why are you here?"

Hua Twelve pretended to know nothing and smiled: "I took your two brothers out to play. I passed by here and saw someone in the window, so I came over to check it out. Turns out you were really home!"

As he spoke, he walked in. Ye Xiaolang came up to him warmly in the living room:

"Hello uncle, these two babies are Yicheng's brothers, right? They are so cute!"

Hua Twelve pretended to be surprised: "There is a guest, who is this?"

Qiao Yicheng hurriedly said: "Dad, this is my friend!"

Hua Shier raised his eyebrows. How could he not hear that his eldest son was hiding something from him? The boy deliberately did not say that the woman was the reporter named Ye.

Ye Xiaolang smiled and stretched out his hand, introducing himself: "Hello uncle, let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Xiaolang, I work in a newspaper, I interviewed Yicheng last time, I like your son, and I am planning to pursue him!"

Qiao Yicheng turned around in surprise: "You"

Ye Xiaolang pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Didn't you say you don't have a girlfriend? Why are you not happy that a beautiful girl like me is pursuing you?"

"I, you"

Qiao Yicheng usually teaches his younger brothers and sisters-in-law a lesson, and he is very eloquent, but this is the first time he has been pursued by a girl, and he can't even speak clearly.

Hua Twelve raised his nose and sniffed, "Yicheng, there's food frying in the pot, it's almost burnt!"

"Ouch!" Qiao Yicheng quickly put his two younger brothers down and let them play by themselves:

"I'm going to go get the food first. Dad, please sit down first. We'll eat here later. We can talk later if you have anything else to say!"

When Qiao Yicheng hurriedly ran to the kitchen, Ye Xiaolang quickly asked Hua Twelve to sit down and ran to pour water, just like a real hostess.

Hua Twelve waved his hand: "Girl, stop busying yourself. Come and sit down. I want to ask you something!"

Ye Xiaolang smiled and sat opposite Hua Twelve openly:

"Uncle, you look the same as on TV, but you look so young. If you don't know me, you might think you are Yicheng's brother!"

Hua Twelve laughed: "I know it even if you don't tell me, because there are too many people saying so, and you can't get a number."

Ye Xiaolang: “.”

Hua Twelve continued, "Miss Ye, right? How long have you been dating Yicheng?"

Ye Xiaolang blushed slightly; "We haven't officially started yet. Today is our second meeting. But I feel that Yicheng of your family is very outstanding and particularly attractive to me, so I plan to take the initiative and strive for happiness!"

Qiao Yicheng, who was cooking in the kitchen, froze. He had been practicing martial arts with Hua Shier and had better hearing than ordinary people. Ye Xiaolang's voice was loud and he could hear it clearly in the kitchen.

Hua Twelve nodded:

"Miss Ye, you are also very good. It is normal for good people to be attracted to each other, but there is one thing you may not know. Our Qiao family has an ancestral precept that we cannot marry women with the surnames Ye or Ma. So it is doomed to be impossible for you to marry into our family!"

Ye Xiaolang's expression suddenly became a little unnatural:

"Uncle, what era is this now? In the past women still bound their feet, but now it has been relaxed. Ancestral teachings are just like foot binding, they are all dregs of the old society. You need to open your mind."

Hua Twelve smiled and shook his head: "I am a conservative person, and my ancestors' teachings cannot be violated!"

Ye Xiaolang was furious: "What if Yicheng accepts me and is determined to be with me?"

Hua Twelve said without thinking, smiling;

"Then he doesn't deserve to be a member of my Qiao family!"

"From now on, he will not be eligible to inherit the Qiao family's assets or the tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars that his uncle left for him in Hong Kong!"

"In addition, his martial arts and medical skills are all inherited from our Qiao family. If you don't want to accept the ancestral teachings, then give back the things of our ancestors. Just cut off one tendon in your right hand. If you connect it in time, it won't have much impact. But he won't be able to hold a scalpel or use silver needles in the future!"

Ye Xiaolang's face suddenly changed. Aren't these things of Qiao Yicheng what she was attracted to? If Qiao Yicheng lost his status as a celebrity's son, lost his right to inherit the family property, and could no longer hold a scalpel, he would just be living off her and be her gigolo!

She asked tentatively: "Uncle, you are not joking with me?"

Hua Twelve laughed: "Do I have so much free time? I told Qiao Yicheng this ancestral precept when he was twelve years old. If you don't believe me, you can ask him!"

Ye Xiaolang pondered for a moment and stood up: "Uncle, I have something else to do. Please tell Yicheng later and I won't bother you anymore!"

As she spoke, she was about to leave. It was obvious that she had given up decisively because she saw that the situation was hopeless.

Hua Twelve waved his hand and said:

"Miss Ye, I need your help. My two little sons are both considered as having more than one child. Since I'm a celebrity, if this gets out, not only will I be fined, but it will also have a bad impact. So please do me a favor and don't mention this to outsiders!"

Ye Xiaolang's eyes moved slightly, and then he agreed immediately: "Don't worry, uncle, I am the most strict with my words!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, opened the door and left.

Looking at Ye Xiaolang's back, Hua Twelve's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. He turned back to look at Qiao Yicheng, who had already come out of the kitchen and looked a little disappointed. He patted his eldest son's shoulder:

"Little guy, look at your useless appearance. Just wait and see. You will soon know whether she is a human or a ghost!"

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