Chapter 6: Changes
The father and son looked at each other affectionately for a long time. Qiao Siyuan patted Qiao Anbang's shoulder with great relief and said, "Good child, I know that my son will definitely be able to look back and will definitely be able to correct me! Work hard, the future of our Qiao family depends on you!"
"Son, please remember your father's teachings, please rest assured!" Qiao Anbang nodded respectfully and replied.
"Well! Let's go out for dinner, and your second brother should be back." Qiao Siyuan said and walked forward.
"Yeah! Dad, slow down." Qiao Anbang hurriedly helped him forward, and the two of them walked out of the accounting room and walked into the hall.
Just as Qiao Anbang and Qiao Siyuan arrived at the main hall, someone came outside the yard. The two of them looked up and saw that it was the second brother Qiao An's house.
Seeing his second brother, Qiao Anbang did not hesitate and quickly greeted: "Second brother, I'm back."
"Yes!" The Qiao An family obviously did not notice Qiao Anbang's sudden enthusiasm, and immediately shouted to Qiao Siyuan: "Dad."
"Well, are you all done with your accounts today?" Qiao Siyuan nodded and asked. In recent years, he has asked Qiao An's family to gradually adapt to taking over and manage the local industry of Qiao's family in Zhiheji.
"Yes, it's all done." Qiao An's family nodded and replied.
"Okay! Come in and have dinner." Qiao Siyuan said, turning around and walking into the main hall. Qiao Anbang responded and hurried forward to support him.
Qiao An's family followed behind and finally discovered the changes in Qiao Anbang. When he saw Qiao Anbang taking the initiative to help his father, he was extremely surprised. It should be noted that in the past, Qiao Anbang was too lazy to even scream.
The Qiao An family did not hate his third brother at first. Although his behavior was a bit inappropriate, it did not affect his love for his younger brother. In his opinion, relatives are always relatives, and he always treated Qiao Anbang as his younger brother.
Seeing the changes of the third brother, Qiao An's family was not only surprised, but also very happy, and then followed in with a smile on his face.
The father and son entered the main hall and sat down according to the main and secondary. At this time, several servants came with hot meals. Then Yali Yifei also walked in under the guidance of Qiao Wu.
Qiao An's family saw a strange and beautiful woman suddenly coming to the house. She looked surprised and turned around and asked, "Dad, third brother, who is this?"
"Oh! Second brother, let me introduce you. This is my friend, surnamed Liu and named Yifei. I just returned from studying abroad. Hasn't our father's cold legs been so cool? It just so happens that Yifei majored in medicine, so I asked her to show our father!" Qiao Anbang quickly stood up and introduced.
"Oh." When Qiao An's family heard that Yali was an international student and the third brother invited her father to treat her father, they quickly got up and smiled and said, "Ms. Liu, welcome, please sit down!"
"Thank you!" Yali smiled and nodded slightly, then sat down.
After Yali sat down, Qiao Anbang saw Qiao Wu standing beside him and quickly said in a respectful voice: "Uncle Wu, sit down too, let's have a meal together."
"No, thank you, Master, I'll wait and eat with Gensheng and the others!" Qiao Wunian never expected that the third master, who was arrogant on weekdays, would invite him.
In fact, Qiao Anbang did this naturally with a purpose. After inheriting Qiao Anbang's memory, he knew that Qiao Wu was definitely not as simple as an ordinary butler. His skills and marksmanship were the best among all the servants of the Qiao family, and he was very capable.
It is precisely because of this that Qiao Siyuan severely demanded that the three brothers must call him the fifth uncle. Qiao Anbang naturally understood the purpose of this.
Qiao Siyuan was obviously very satisfied with the performance of his third son, and he waved his hand to Qiao Wu with a rare smile: "Lao Wu, don't be polite. Anbang is right, sit down, let's have a meal together!"
"Oh! Thank you, Master!" Qiao Wu nodded repeatedly and then sat down.
After everyone sat down, Qiao Anbang asked, "Dad, brother won't come to have dinner today?"
"Oh, your elder brother received a combat order a few days ago, and took his troops to Qingcheng area to clear out the bandits. It will take two days to come back. You all know that in recent years, the country has been in constant wars, and warlords attacked each other and fought for many years. People from all over the country are suffering. Gradually, there are more bandits. Although the National Government has basically achieved national unity, bandits and robbers in various places are still very rampant, so this bandit suppression operation has occurred. Okay, let's not talk about these, let's have a meal." Qiao Siyuan said and waved his hand to signal everyone to have a meal.
Just as everyone was holding the bowl and preparing to start the meal, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded in the yard, and then a man in a bloody military uniform ran in staggeringly.
The man looked hurried and panting. When he saw Qiao Siyuan, he hurriedly said, "Master, it's not good. The eldest young master is surrounded by bandits in Quanshan. The situation is extremely urgent now. The eldest young master ordered me to rush out to seek help. You should send someone to save the eldest young master and his brothers. If it's too late, the eldest young master and his brothers will be in danger."
Qiao Anbang knew this person. He used to be his own servant, named Cao Er. As a famous big family in the Zhiheji area, the Qiao family used to have dozens of guard guards. Since the eldest young master Qiao Anguo joined the National Army, these guard guards have been expanded by Qiao Anguo as the base of his ranks.
His security team can be said to be expanded and developed by his own nurses.
As soon as he heard that Qiao Anguo was surrounded by bandits, Qiao Anguo's family, Qiao Siyuan, Qiao Anbang and others all changed their expressions and stood up. Qiao Anguo asked even more urgently: "Cao Er, what's going on? Tell me clearly!"
"Report to the second young master, the eldest young master was ordered to take his brothers to clear out the bandits in Quanshan. It turned out that there were only more than twenty bandits in Quanshan and more than ten guns. Who knew that when we arrived, we found that there were hundreds of bandits in Quanshan, and they seemed to be ready. They set up an ambush in Quanshan. The brothers were ambushed as soon as they entered the mountain. The eldest young master and his brothers fought and retreated. Now they are guarding a cliff. The situation is very dangerous!" Cao Er replied anxiously.
"Master! The eldest young master is in danger and it is urgent. We must rush to rescue him immediately!" Qiao Wu also said with an urgent expression.
Qiao Siyuan's face was very serious at this moment. Since the original guards of the Qiao family were all incorporated into his security team by Qiao Anguo, and because Qiao Anguo's security team was stationed in Zhiheji, he could protect the Qiao family nearby, Qiao Siyuan did not form another armed guard.
Therefore, now, except for more than twenty servants, there is no one in the Qiao family who can rescue Qiao Anguo.
Seeing Qiao Siyuan's face look ugly, Qiao Anbang thought for a while and said, "Dad, the eldest brother is in danger. My son suggests that the servants in the family be gathered up immediately. I am willing to take them to rescue the eldest brother!"
"Third brother! The servants in the family are okay to do some rough work. They may not be able to fight against fierce bandits. Moreover, we don't have weapons at all, so we won't be able to use them even if we have them!" Qiao An's family also said anxiously.
"Dad, second brother, I'll find a way to deal with weapons. One more person and more strength. We can't watch our elder brother fall into danger and ignore it." As he said that, Qiao Anbang turned to Qiao Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, please summon all the servants in the family! In addition, let the servants take out all our horses and ride them."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Qiao Wu glanced at Qiao Siyuan, nodded, and then turned around and left.
After Qiao Wu left, Qiao Anbang gave Yali another wink, and then the two walked out of the main hall. After giving Yali instructions, Qiao Anbang turned around and returned to the main hall, and Yali took the order to leave.
Not long after, Qiao Wu walked in briskly and said to Qiao Siyuan and others: "Master, young master, everyone has been summoned!"
Qiao Anbang nodded, then said to Qiao Siyuan: "Dad, my elder brother is in danger, I have to take someone to save him!"
"San Young Master, it's extremely dangerous to rescue the eldest young master this time. Let me take people there!" Qiao Wu next to him immediately stood up and opposed.
"Uncle Wu, don't advise me. The eldest brother is my biological brother. When a brother is in trouble, I should stand up! If even my brothers dare not save me, am I still a human being? A real man does something and does not. For the sake of his brother, there is nothing to be afraid of even if he dies!" Qiao Anbang declined Qiao Wu righteously. He knew that this was an excellent opportunity to change the view of the Qiao family on him and deepen his relationship with Qiao Anguo's brothers. He could not give up anyway.
"Okay! Well said! It's worthy of being my Qiao Siyuan's son!" Qiao Siyuan said with a touching look on his face: "My son is careful all the way, waiting for your brothers to return safely for your father at home!" Today, Qiao Anbang has given him too many surprises and shocks. He began to feel proud, proud and relieved that he had such a son.
"Third brother, I'll go with you!" The second brother Qiao An's family also spoke out with deep feelings.
"No, second brother, you have to stay. If my elder brother and I can't come back this time, our father will rely on your care in the future!" Qiao Anbang refused firmly in a heavy tone.
"Third brother!" Qiao An's family choked up a little, hugged Qiao Anbang with moist eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Good brother, you must come back safely, have you heard?"
"Yeah!" Qiao Anbang nodded heavily, patted Qiao An's shoulder, and slowly looked at his second brother and father who had known each other for less than an hour. Then he turned around and said to Qiao Wu: "Uncle Wu, let's go!"
"Yes!" Qiao Wu responded and immediately followed the third young master who made him look at him with admiration in an instant and walked out of the main hall.
Watching Qiao Anbang and Qiao Wu leave, Qiao Siyuan and Qiao An's family hurriedly walked out until they were sent out of the gate of their own courtyard. Looking at their son's back gradually moving away, Qiao Siyuan felt unspeakable relief and reassurance, as if an invisible voice was telling himself that he would succeed and would be able to rescue the "boss".
