Zhiheji is located in the Qiao family house on the most prosperous section of the town.

In the main hall, an old man in his fifties and sixties was wearing a pair of reading glasses, sitting on a square table of willow wood, flipping a book of accounting papers of about an inch thick with his left hand, and skillfully tugging the abacus that had been worn out with a beads. This person was Qiao Siyuan, the father of Qiao Anbang, the old man of the Qiao family.

Qiao Siyuan is ranked fourth among his generation, so he is also known as Qiao Laosi and Qiao Siye.

Generally, older acquaintances with higher ages will call the former, while younger ones will call the latter (free means low, and northern Anhui dialect.).

Speaking of Qiao Siyuan's lineage, it is still closely related to the Qiao family, a famous Shanxi merchant. Due to the age of time, it has been reported that Qiao Siyuan's generation has long been cut off from the Qiao family in Shanxi. Even Qiao Siyuan can't remember how they and the Qiao family in Shanxi were branched out.

As for the Qiao Siyuan family, although the Qiao family is not as rich as the Qiao family in Shanxi, it is one of the top major households in the area of ​​Chiheji. When Qiao Siyuan took over the Qiao family from his father, the Qiao family's business was already amazing. It has hundreds of hectares of fertile land and dozens of large and small shops, specializing in selling tea, dry moss and other specialties.

After Qiao Siyuan was in charge of the family, he worked hard and worked hard to manage. In just over twenty years, the Qiao family expanded the Qiao family's business by dozens of times. At this time, the Qiao family had thousands of hectares of fertile land, hundreds of shops of all sizes and sizes, almost spread across counties and towns in northern Anhui. The areas involved also increased livestock, cattle, sheep, and medicinal materials.

In short, the Qiao family is now well-known in northern Anhui, and is the largest landlord and the richest big family in the Zhiheji area.

The big girl from far and near tried her best to marry the eldest and second brothers of the Qiao family, but no one was willing to marry the "notorious" third brothers of the Qiao family.

Although Qiao Siyuan was over fifty years old, he was clear-headed. He finished the accounts in a short while and put away the account book. Qiao Siyuan helped him with his reading glasses and then walked out of the main hall.

Just at this moment, a middle-aged man walked towards him quickly. Qiao Siyuan looked up and found that he was his housekeeper Qiao Wu.

Qiao Wu's surname is not Qiao. He came here ten years ago from another place to flee from other places. Just when he was about to starve to death, Qiao Siyuan, who collected land rent from outside, saved him. In order to repay Qiao Siyuan's life-saving kindness, he changed his surname to Qiao. Since Qiao Siyuan ranked fourth, he named himself a five-character.

Later, Qiao Siyuan learned that Qiao Wu was not an ordinary fugitive. He turned out to be Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army. When the revolutionary army was in the Northern Expedition, his troops were dispersed and he became a deserter. Qiao Wu, who changed his name and surname, stayed in the Qiao family from then on, was loyal to the Qiao family, and taught Qiao Anguo's kung fu and shooting since he was a child.

As for the Qiao An family, because they are introverted by nature, they like literature but not martial arts, they did not learn martial arts and guns with their elder brother. The third brother Qiao Anbang has been naughty since childhood. Although he has studied it for several years, he has learned both marksmanship and kung fu inappropriately because of his lack of care. However, he shamelessly thought it was enough, and bullying some widows and girls was enough.

Qiao Wu walked quickly to Qiao Siyuan, lowered his head respectfully and said, "Master, I didn't find the third young master. I went to the kiln to ask. They said that the third young master did stay with them last night, but in the morning he brought two popular girls in the kiln out. I heard that he had hired a carriage and was missing."

"Hmph!" Qiao Siyuan changed his face when he heard this, and snorted and cursed: "A bastard, you know you're idle all day long and cause trouble. It's best to die outside this time and never come back to save me from being upset!" Qiao Siyuan knew all the bad deeds of his son. In his eyes, the eldest, the second, the second, the other, the other, the other, the other, the martial arts, are all handsome talents. The only third, Qiao Anbang, has been bullying men and women, domineering women, domineering their tyrants, harming the countryside, and doing things arbitrarily. Every day, either eat, drink and have fun with a group of local gangsters, or stealing the money from their families to visit the kiln. He was young and had no enterprising spirit.

Some of Qiao Anbang's usual behaviors often aroused public outrage, but due to the strength of the Qiao family, no one dared to treat Qiao Anbang.

It can be said that Qiao Anbang lost all the face of the Qiao family. Everyone knows that the third young master of the Qiao family is a playboy who is not doing his job properly.

If it weren't for his own flesh and blood, and if it hadn't for his promise that his dead mother would take good care of him, perhaps Qiao Siyuan would have been reluctant to give up and expelled him from the Qiao family and let it fend for itself.

Qiao Wu has followed Qiao Siyuan for more than ten years and naturally has a very good understanding of his thoughts and ideas. He knows that although the master is very annoyed and angry with the third young master, he still cares about him in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have seen him not return for a whole night, so he hurriedly sent himself to search for him.

In fact, the master is just angry that the third young master is not good. The Qiao family is a local famous family and has a great family. The eldest young master Qiao Anguo is concerned about the country and has already joined the army to serve the country. Although the second young master is diligent and studious, he has poor qualifications and a little weak personality. He does not have the ability to completely take over the Qiao family's wealth. Originally, the master wanted to train the third young master who has been very smart since childhood. I hope that after he grows up, he can take over the Qiao family business with the assistance of the second young master and continue to develop and expand the Qiao family business. But who would have thought that after the third young master grew up, his character gradually became a playboy who is idle all day long.

This made the master both angry and annoyed. He was worried about the third young master, but the old man was also stubborn when he was young. Although he scolded and angry at the third young master, he felt more helpless in his heart. Of course, only he, Qiao Wuyi, understood these.

"Master, I think the young master should be back soon. I will persuade him well at that time. After all, he is still young." Zhou Wu persuaded calmly.

"Oh, my family is unfortunate. Why did I, Qiao Laosi, give birth to such a prodigal son?" Qiao Siyuan sighed and turned around and wanted to leave.

At this moment, a man in his twenties ran in a row. Qiao Siyuan turned around and saw that the person was either someone else or his friend Xiaowu.

"Master, the young master is back." Xiaowu gasped and reported.

As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the yard gate. Qiao Anbang walked in quickly with the beautiful Yali Yifei, carrying two large bags of things in both hands.

After Qiao Anbang entered the door, he saw Qiao Siyuan with a solemn face. The memories of Qiao Siyuan suddenly appeared in his mind. He hurried forward and said, "My father, I'm back." His tone was sincere and kind.

"Hmph, I still know how to come back." Qiao Siyuan saw that Qiao Anbang actually brought back a woman, and immediately raised his face.

"Young Master is back, just come back!" Qiao Wu saw that Qiao Siyuan's face was not good, and quickly spoke in a round voice.

"Dad, Uncle Fifth, I'll introduce you to you." Qiao Anbang pointed at Yali and Yifei and introduced: "This is my friend. Her name is Yifei and her surname is Liu. She just returned from studying abroad. She majored in medicine. She thought that her father's cold legs had not healed for many years, so she asked Yali to come to our house to help you see. And these are all supplements for dad." As he said that, Qiao Anbang carried the bag in his hand, which was full of various supplements he bought on the street on the way.

"Hello, uncle!" Yali Yifei understood and bowed her head forward and said respectfully. On the way here, Qiao Anbang made all arrangements. In order not to arouse suspicion of his father and others, he arranged such an identity for Yali. The reason why he added the surname "Liu" to Yali was to make people call it convenient. After all, the surname "Yali" is still a bit like that in China today.

He also ordered Wang Gensheng not to leak the matter.

Qiao Siyuan has never been very interested in his third son because of Qiao Anbang's previous bad deeds. His son never knew that he had cared about me, and even his father likes to shout.

Now that he took the initiative to care about himself, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. His son changed his son a little and was also very relieved, as a father.

I felt relieved, Qiao Siyuan looked at Qiao Anbang and was a little more pleasing to her. Naturally, she was not so disgusted with Yali Yifei who came with Qiao Anbang. She nodded slightly and said, "Miss Liu is here from afar, so please rest first."

After saying that, Qiao Siyuan looked at Qiao Anbang with a serious look and said solemnly: "Anbang, come with me."

"Oh, okay." Qiao Anbang responded, gave Yali a look and then turned his head and hurriedly followed Qiao Siyuan away.

After watching the two of them leave, Qiao Wu smiled at Yali and said, "Miss Liu, please come with me."

"Oh." Looking at Qiao Anbang's back, Yali Yifei responded and followed Qiao Wu towards the wing room.

Qiao Siyuan carried Qiao Siyuan with one hand and took her steady steps to his account. This place was not only the account, but also the study. The decorations in the room were very simple and simple. There was a desk made of willow wood and several chairs. There was a wooden bookshelf about three meters behind the desk and placed next to the wall.

There were a lot of books and some books on the bookshelf. Qiao Siyuan walked behind the desk, picked up a book, and asked in a tone with a slogan: "Anbang, you are not young anymore, so you can't always go on like this, ah, think about it, was it easy for your father to create this family business back then? Your elder brother cares about the country and joined the army. Your second brother has followed me to learn business and business over the years, but it still seems to be alone in taking over such a large family business!"

"So you and your brothers need to work together to continue to operate our Qiao family's business, carry forward it, and make a sigh for our old Qiao family!"

As he said that, Qiao Siyuan seemed to have heard the past, and he sighed: "Oh, forget it, I know, you will definitely be in front of you what I said again. Oh, the family is unfortunate...!"

However, Qiao Anbang's next words surprised Qiao Siyuan.

"Dad, you are right. My son will be a good person in the future and live up to his expectations. He will study hard for our old Qiao family and work hard!" Qiao Anbang said sincerely.

Qiao Siyuan turned his head in disbelief and asked in surprise: "What did you say just now? You...you say it again."

"Dad! My son said that he will be a good person in the future and work hard to repay your kindness for raising you!" As he said that, Qiao Anbang knelt on his knees and said with a sincere expression: "Dad, I figured it out. What I did in the past has disappointed my father's expectations and slandered our old Qiao family. My son will be a good person in the future and be filial to you! Please forgive me for my past ignorance and naivety! I kowtow to you!"

As he said that, Qiao Anbang kowtowed to Qiao Siyuan sincerely. Whether he took away his son's body or respected the old man who hoped that his son would become a dragon, Qiao Anbang felt that he should do this, not only to achieve his goal, but also to fulfill his father's wish for his son to become a dragon.

Seeing Qiao Anbang's sudden change, Qiao Siyuan's hands trembled excitedly. At this moment, huge waves were already stirring up in his heart. If he couldn't figure out, his son could say this, and he took the initiative to kowtow to himself and admit his mistake.

If he hadn't been right in front of him, Qiao Siyuan would even wonder if this was his son, or if it was the son who broke his heart and almost completely lost hope.

Looking at Qiao Anbang kneeling on the ground, Qiao Siyuan felt a soreness on his nose, and tears couldn't stop flowing down from the corners of his wrinkled eyes.

"It's been more than twenty years, and my son has finally grown up and become sensible." This is nothing more gratifying for a father who wants his son to be successful than this.

Qiao Anbang knelt on the ground, looked up and saw Qiao Siyuan crying, and said with a sad expression: "Dad, don't you want to forgive me? My son will definitely change it. Please give my son a chance to be a new person! Dad!"

"No! Dad's good son, get up quickly, Dad forgive you, Dad, I believe you can change!" Qiao Siyuan quickly stepped forward, helped Qiao Anbang up with trembling hands, shaking his hands, and carefully looked at this son who had undergone a huge change.

Facing Qiao Siyuan's eyes full of fatherly love, Qiao Anbang's heart was also filled with soreness, and his eyes were moist. From Qiao Siyuan's eyes, he saw the relief and joy of a father, and these relief and joy were entirely caused by his own changes.

In silence, Qiao Anbang swore that he would make this old father feel happy and happy forever, not for anything else, just for the fatherly love he had long lost with him.
