Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 973 971 Qiao Sanli

In London, Ailin came into contact with all kinds of young, beautiful and aristocratic ladies, and it seemed as if her suppressed worldview had suddenly been opened up.

It took only a few seconds to make my eyes dizzy.

By the time Chu Xiangqian found out that Ailin was having a passionate affair with a noble lady, it was too late to stop them.

Of course, at the beginning, Chu Xiangqian didn’t think it was a big problem.

He didn't mind having a mixed-race nephew, and even if Ailin married a noble girl, it would not be a problem in Chu Xiangqian's mind.

But this relationship only lasted for half a year.

The reason is simple. In the 70s, not only was sex liberated in Europe and the United States, but tobacco was also the first to become popular among children from wealthy classes.

When Ailin discovered that his girlfriend was touching tobacco leaves, he immediately remembered that before they went to London, Chu Xiangqian had repeatedly told her not to touch tobacco leaves or flour.

It was probably because he had heard in Hong Kong Island over the years that his eldest brother had become ruthless and would kill entire families at any time.

He was afraid that Chu Xiangqian would find out and break his legs.

Or the girlfriend and her friends who also touch tobacco leaves will all be killed by the furious brother.

After thinking it over again and again, he took the initiative to tell Chu Xiangqian that he wanted to break up with his girlfriend.

After Chu Xiangqian found out, while praising Ai Lin, he also asked someone to investigate the reason.

When he found out the truth was because of the tobacco leaves, he became angry.

Ailin and Norton were thrown into the care of Kumiko and Olivia, and they were trained for survival in the wild on an island for three months.

By the way, Ichiro Matsuno took his men to London and killed all the tobacco merchants who provided tobacco leaves to Ailin’s girlfriend and the forces behind them.

This matter was not reported by the media, but it was well known in the powerful circles in London.

Dozens of people died, leading to a shortage of tobacco leaves in the aristocratic circles, which caused quite a stir at the time.

After learning about this, Ailin and Norton, who had suffered a lot on the island, immediately behaved themselves and started training seriously.

Aiyuan, Baoyi, Aiqiu and even Jingrong, who was only 9 years old at the time, knew the consequences of touching tobacco leaves.

Just wait until Ailin and Norton return home after going through all the hardships and completing three months of training.
Although Ailin became more obedient, he gradually realized that his elder brother didn't mind him having a girlfriend.

The reason why I was thrown to the island to suffer was simply as a warning because they were worried that I would become addicted to smoking.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that after three months of training and survival in the wild, Norton and Ailin had become so close that they seemed like one pair of trousers.

In recent years, the two have gone out to sea together from time to time and held parties on yachts at sea.

Ailin was asked to find a girlfriend, but the boy refused.

My uncle and aunt don’t know about these things yet, otherwise they would definitely be more worried.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian himself had no confidence to refute when it came to women.

Otherwise there wouldn't be so many women in the family.

So, when Second Aunt said that Ailin was led astray by Chu Xiangqian, Chu Xiangqian didn't know how to refute it.

I can only change the topic to my precious son, "What's that girl's name and where does she live?"

Jing Rong hesitated and refused to speak, so Sha Zhu immediately advised, "Nephew, your fourth uncle refused to tell us who that girl was, and that's why your father, your second uncle, and your third uncle didn't care.

Finally, the girl and her family left the capital.

You can't make the same mistake.

Moreover, your father is the most reliable. Life was so hard back then, and it was only thanks to your father's ideas that we were able to stay alive and not starve to the point of being unable to walk.

Let him see, he won’t go wrong.”

Xue Jinglan thought about it and felt that what Sha Zhu said was right.

The only unreliable thing about my man is women. In other aspects, he is flawless.

Of course, Xue Jinglan also knew that if she didn't have Gangsheng, Feifei and the others to help her, she would definitely be badly beaten by Chu Xiangqian.

Maybe his health would have collapsed early, or Chu Xiangqian would be unsatisfied all day long, and their feelings would inevitably fade in the end.

Grabbing Jingrong's arm, he said, "Rongrong, your uncle Zhuzi is right, your father has sharp eyes.
There are so many powerful people, whether they are good or bad, they can't hide in front of him at all."

Second Aunt, Aiguo, Aimin and Yu Li were all afraid that Jingrong would not believe them, so they told Jingrong and Jingyu everything that had happened in the past nearly twenty years.

Only then did the brother and sister realize that their father had lived such a hard life when he was their age.

Jing Yu still looked distressed, hugging Chu Xiangqian's arm, "Dad, when you are old, I will definitely be filial to you and mom."

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this and said, when he is old, you will also be in your forties.

With my health condition, it is possible that in fifty or sixty years, I will be the one who has to take care of my daughter Jingyu.

Even Xue Jinglan's health might be better than Jingyu's.

No, when sons and daughters grow up, they will have their own children and grandchildren.

As a grandfather or great-grandfather, I must be commanding my grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

"Okay, okay, I'll be thankful that you're still taking care of me and you don't cause trouble for me."

Jing Yu angrily slapped Chu Xiangqian's arm.

Jing Rong thought about it for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the nagging of his mother and cousins.

He whispered, "It's the third girl named Qiao who lives in Caochang Hutong."

Caochang Hutong is actually not far from the Luoguxiang Siheyuan and the Shichahai courtyard, and is only a few minutes’ walk from the Drum Tower.

When Second Aunt and Yu Li heard this, they thought about it carefully and their faces turned gloomy.

Chu Xiangqian had very sharp eyes. He looked at Second Aunt and asked, "Second Aunt, do you know this family?"

Second Aunt hesitated for a few seconds, but finally told the truth.

Although it is necessary to expose someone's past, Jingrong is the eldest grandson of the Chu family.

"Move forward, the Qiao family is quite famous."

After that, he and Yu Li talked together, telling each other what they knew.

When Chu Xiangqian heard about Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang, Qiao Sanli, Qiao Simei, and Qiao Qiqi who was sent to be raised by his second aunt, he immediately thought of the TV series "Children of the Qiao Family".

He frowned and asked, "Is it Qiao Zuwang, the husband who was drinking and gambling outside while his wife was having a difficult birth?
In the end, his wife died during childbirth, but he still gambled and drank?"

When Second Aunt and Yu Li saw that he knew it, they nodded in relief.

Yu Li even said, "Moving forward, Qiao Zuwang is also known to be unreliable in the Drum Tower area.

It’s normal for you to know, but…”

Yu Li naturally stood on the side of the Chu family, but as she was talking, she felt that the eldest son of the Qiao family was really good.

At the age of 12, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings.

Because of this, the neighborhood committee did not allow Qiao Yicheng to go to the countryside.

What they are afraid of is that if this child dies, the other children of the Qiao family may not survive.

The ones who really suffer and have the hardest time are actually the 1600 million junior high school and high school graduates commonly known as the "old three classes."

At that time, one-tenth of the rural population suddenly poured into the fields.

By the early 1970s, the number of young people going to the countryside had dropped significantly, and some returned to the city in the name of finding work or taking care of the elderly.

Although 74, 75 and 76 were the third wave of people going to the countryside, the number of people was not large.

Chu Xiangqian silently calculated that Qiao Sanli was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old, which was the right age for Jing Rong.

Moreover, this girl is well-behaved, sensible and considerate. Most importantly, even when her mother-in-law made things difficult for her, she relied on her brain and patience to improve her relationship with her mother-in-law.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but glance at Xue Jinglan. He knew his wife well.

Although she looks kind, she has had psychological problems due to mysophobia since childhood.

It's hard to approach her if you're not an acquaintance.

After getting married, her obsessive-compulsive disorder was basically gone, but Xue Jinglan's long-formed character was not so easy to change.

She obeyed Chu Xiangqian in everything, which was a true expression of her love for him, and she was also convinced by Chu Xiangqian.

This is gentle and considerate.

But when it comes to outsiders, my wife is not easy to get along with.

When looking for a wife for her, make sure you don't choose one with a strong personality or too many opinions.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a huge quarrel between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

However, when Xue Jinglan first went to Hong Kong Island for a few years, local celebrities looked down on her.

This made Xue Jinglan always look down upon the prominent families in Hong Kong.

Even if someone tried to curry favor with her, it would be extremely difficult to really establish a relationship with Xue Jinglan.

So Xue Jinglan subconsciously hoped that Jingrong would find a wife from the mainland, preferably from Beijing.

Jing Rong felt uneasy when he saw his father frowning.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian took a look and saw that his darling son still had a childish look on his face. He looked like a half-grown child.

He smiled and shook his head. They were just two young people of fifteen or sixteen years old, let alone getting married.

With the current social atmosphere in the mainland, people don’t even dare to make their relationships public.

Whether it will succeed in the end is indeed a matter of debate.

And considering Chu Jingrong's character, it's possible that this guy has more than one girl with whom he has an ambiguous relationship.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Find an opportunity for you to bring that girl out for dinner, and your mother and I will sit at another table in the restaurant and wait and see.

As for the girl's family situation, in the final analysis, as long as you and the girl have a stable relationship, nothing else will be a problem."

So many fights in families are actually caused by money.

People of this era, no matter how big their appetites are, the most they can give as a dowry is tens of thousands of yuan.

It's not even a drop in the bucket.

As for whether the brother-in-law and sister-in-law will suck your blood after marriage, unless you are an only child, it is inevitable no matter who you marry.

As long as he is not her own precious son, she will keep giving and accept being taken advantage of.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian secretly felt that it was a good thing to let Jingrong suffer some setbacks.

As for whether Qiao Zuwang, this scumbag father, would join Su Daqiang in causing trouble.

Chu Xiangqian felt that he had ten thousand ways to make him behave himself.

When Jing Rong heard that his father was still willing to see Qiao Sanli after hearing about the Qiao family, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Jing Rong had been accustomed to seeing the unruly and headstrong rich girls in Hong Kong Island, and he had actually been fed up with them for a long time.

What Jingrong could not accept the most was that most of the daughters of wealthy families were Westernized and fawned on foreigners.

This made Jing Rong, who had been specially trained by Chu Xiangqian since childhood and had a strong sense of identity with the Celestial Empire, very uncomfortable.

Plus I often go to London, or King Hing comes to Hong Kong Island.

Jing Rong was already accustomed to the royal family and aristocratic circles, and did not feel that they were superior to others at all.

I even felt that the aristocratic circle was just like what my father had said, as chaotic and dirty as it could be.

So when Jing Rong met a pretty girl who was gentle, didn't dare to speak loudly, and had a sweet appearance and personality, he did have different thoughts.

As for whether or not he will get married in the future, honestly speaking, a kid of Jingrong’s age wouldn’t have such thoughts.

Even if it is true, I feel that my future with Sanli will definitely be happy.

Since Chu Xiangqian had decided to take a look first, Second Aunt and the others wouldn't say anything.

But Second Aunt and Yu Li couldn't help but grumble in their hearts that it was really a bargain for the Qiao family.

Yu Li even felt sorry that she couldn't give birth to a daughter.

Or maybe the Yu family doesn’t have any pretty nieces or nephews.

A few days later, Chu Xiangqian brought Xue Jinglan, and Jingyu who insisted on following them.

After learning about this from Xue Jinglan, Xue Jianrong and Chai Yingqiu, who were specially arranged by the old lady of the Xue family to join in the fun, appeared in a state-owned restaurant near the Drum Tower.

Chai Yingqiu has been married to the Xue family for almost 10 years and gave birth to three brothers, Xue Zhigang, Xue Zhiqiang and Xue Zhirui. They are great contributors to the Xue family.

Although Xue Jinglan had some objections to her remarried sister-in-law at first, her attitude immediately changed after Xue Zhigang was born.

Therefore, the relationship between the aunt and the sister-in-law has been very good over the years.

Xue Jianrong and Chai Yingqiu naturally care a lot about their two nephews, Jingrong and Jingyu.

The aunt and sister-in-law and Jingyu sat together, whispering about the situation of the Qiao family that they had investigated in the past few days.

Naturally, people kept attacking Qiao Zuwang, a selfish, immoral, and family-uncaring scumbag father.

But for Qiao Yicheng, just like Yu Li, it is impossible not to praise him.

However, people decades later think that children are treasures.

But in this era, 9% of families with many children basically leave their children to their own devices.

So the eldest takes care of the second, third, and fourth.

It is very common for the second oldest child to help the oldest and take care of the younger brothers and sisters.

Chai Yingqiu attached great importance to her two younger brothers, but did not care much about her younger sister.

This kind of mentality, in the eyes of outsiders of this era, is what an older sister should do.

So even though they praised Qiao Yicheng for being sensible, Xue Jinglan and Chai Yingqiu didn't think Qiao Yicheng was that great.

At least Qiao Zuwang, the scumbag father, has a salary, and his children are registered and have a fixed salary.

If we change to the rural area, there are many more families and children who are suffering more than the Qiao family.

And Qiao Zuwang is actually a little better than He Daqing.

He did not abandon his children, but married the widow and even raised her children.

Xue Jianrong looked at his wife and sister chatting enthusiastically and couldn't help but look at Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian shrugged, "Brother, don't look at me. In a few years, when Zhigang grows up and wants to find a wife, you will be the one who will be in trouble."

Xue Jianrong laughed, "I'm definitely more relaxed than you, there are many girls in the military compound who know me well.

Besides, you have been in Hong Kong and abroad for a long time. If it were me, I would not be able to fall in love until my child is 20 years old. "

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but laugh. It's better to fall in love early, as it has both pros and cons.

But for children from a family like mine, their lives will be incomplete if they don’t meet a few bad women.

To put it bluntly, there are too many temptations. How can one learn his lesson without suffering some loss?
They were chatting about the three Xue Zhigang brothers, who had recently taken advantage of the few kung fu skills they had learned and beat a few kids in the compound until they cried.

Jing Rong walked in with a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, and a girl who was a little smaller beside her.
