Chapter 122: You old thing
Father Qiao picked up the cigarette, burned it out and put it in the cigarette case.
He looked at Mother Qiao seriously and shook his head helplessly: "Our daughter looks soft and easy to talk to, but in fact she has the same personality as you and has her own ideas in her heart. Just like you back then..."
At that time, the Qiao family's financial situation was not good and her mother-in-law was difficult to deal with, but Qiao's mother just liked Father Qiao, so she married Father Qiao even if the family disagreed.
You know, at that time, Mother Qiao’s mother-in-law’s family gave her the most generous betrothal gifts in the nearby villages.
Mother Qiao's natal family even enjoyed a lot of benefits from that family in advance.
Therefore, Qiao's mother insisted on marrying Qiao's father, which not only offended that family, but also angered everyone in her natal family.
So much so that her mother-in-law's family has said that no matter how her life goes in the future, Mother Qiao should not expect to have her mother-in-law's family as a backer.
When Qiao's mother marries Qiao's father, it is equivalent to being kicked out of her natal family.
In the first few years, Grandma Qiao's family was always looking for trouble. Even with the support of Father Qiao, Mother Qiao's life was not easy.
But no matter what happened, Mother Qiao never regretted her decision.
Many people had wronged her, but Mother Qiao always believed that her choice was right.
Of course, Father Qiao did not let her down.
Mother Qiao now has prestige in the village, and is completely in charge of the family. It can be said that she has managed to get ahead after all the hardships.
Mother Qiao knew what Father Qiao wanted to say. She crossed her arms and said very proudly: "I thought that you, an old man, were responsible and could protect me, and you were not as patriarchal as others. If I were born
If I marry a girl, I can live a more comfortable life. What about Qin Jiashu, what does he have?"
"Haha!" Father Qiao laughed.
Decades have passed and I have received such a compliment from my wife, this life is enough.
He was in a good mood and defended Qin Jiashu: "How do you know that Mr. Qin has not taken responsibility? After observing these days, I think that boy is quite good."
"What's wrong?" Mother Qiao shouted angrily: "He dares to think about my daughter. This is a big mistake!"
Father Qiao knew that Mother Qiao was worried that her daughter would suffer.
but……
He shook his head: "Looking back, the Yang Wenqing we chose was useless. Not only was he weak, he was also half-hearted and incapable of taking responsibility."
"You blame me for picking the wrong son-in-law?" Mother Qiao keenly noticed the problem.
Father Qiao did not give in to Mother Qiao this time, but said seriously: "You love our Xixi very much, so you are always afraid that she will suffer hardship and be bullied by others. When you make friends, you ask her to make friends who are not as good as her. When you choose a son-in-law, you also choose someone with a simple family."
If you have a weak personality, you may be able to protect her if you think it's easy to control. But maybe it's not good for her."
Mother Qiao had a dark face and said nothing.
Father Qiao continued: "Your motherly heart can sometimes blind you. I don't think Xixi is a brainless person. She must like Qin Jiashu. There must be her reasons. I will go and talk to her tomorrow morning.
Let’s talk.”
"Okay then, ask carefully and carefully, and we can have a plan in mind." Mother Qiao said this, feeling relieved.
Father Qiao laughed, immediately took the dry cigarette, and started smoking.
Mother Qiao crossed her arms and thought for a while. After thinking clearly, she punched Father Qiao on the shoulder.
"You old guy, you educated me, right? You didn't nod when I chose Yang Wenqing as my co-author!"
"Cough cough cough..." Father Qiao was caught off guard and choked on the cigarette.
Seeing this, Mother Qiao quickly took some tea and gave it to Father Qiao.
After Qiao's father finished drinking, she punched him again.
But this fist hit was much lighter.
"Old man, stop smoking. The smell is so strong that you will choke. Go to sleep!"
…
After Qin Jiashu returned to the orchard, he first fed Sirius, then cooked dinner on the stove while studying the book on Chinese medicinal materials.
Since we can dig up wild ginseng and astragalus, we can definitely dig up other things.
There are treasures in the mountains, and they can all be used by him.
The more you can use, the more money you can exchange for.
In the past, he would not be so aggressive and eager to make money, but now that the situation is forcing him, he doesn't have so much time to waste time.
He has already decided that he will spend a month to earn the gift money.
When the Yang family married Qiao Xi, the bride price they gave him was five hundred yuan, and he could not be less than this amount at least.
Otherwise, with his conditions, why would he let her marry him?
The sky was getting dark and the moon climbed over the treetops.
Qin Jiashu held a basin covered with cloth in one hand and walked towards Zhuangzi under the moonlight.
When he walked to a house, he lowered his voice and called: "Grandma."
After a while, the sound of a cane tapping on the ground came from the door, and then the wooden door opened with a creak.
Under the moonlight, the old lady's aging face looked increasingly rough, but in Qin Jiashu's eyes, it was particularly kind.
"Quick, come in." The old lady was particularly happy to see Qin Jiashu.
Qin Jiashu walked into the door and closed it again.
Then, he opened the cloth, took out a big steaming bun, and stuffed it into the old lady's hand: "Meaty."
The old lady was surprised for a moment, then sighed: "You are growing tall now, you should keep these buns for yourself. At my age, I am going to die, and I will eat this good stuff too."
Waste."
"Grandma, don't say that again, I don't want to hear it." Qin Jiashu said, walked straight into the kitchen and put down a dozen steamed buns in the basin.
The old lady took a bite of the buns and exclaimed: "Xiao An'an, your buns are getting better and better."
"Grandma, as long as you like it, I'll give it to you in the future." He said this, paused, and then continued: "However, I may not be able to come over in the next month."
The old lady was confused: "What? Are you going out?"
Qin Jiashu helped the old lady into the main room. The old lady was reluctant to turn on the light and lit a kerosene lamp. The two sat down facing each other under the dim lamp.
He then said: "No, I will be busy for a while."
"Oh." The old lady patted her chest: "That's okay, you can do your business. My body is very good, and I don't need you to come all the time. You are old and you have things to be busy with."
She laughed as she spoke: "Speaking of which, Changle is still my grandson. He doesn't come to see me as often as you do."
Qin Jiashu smiled faintly at this: "In my heart, you are my grandma."
Although he ate at Wa's house all year round, in fact, the one who treated him best at the beginning was Wa Changle's grandmother, Mrs. Wa.
At that time, the Wa family had not yet been separated. The old lady and her sons and daughters-in-law all lived under the same roof, and they also had some power.
It was her. Although she didn't say anything on the surface, she had been secretly being nice to Qin Jiashu in private.
Later, the Wa family also experienced a lot of things. Several sons and daughters-in-law separated and moved out one after another.
Old Mrs. Wa didn't want to look at her daughters-in-law, so after the old man died, she lived alone in the old house.
Qin Jiashu's eyebrows moved slightly and he clenched his fists. After all, he couldn't hold it back.
"Grandma, I like a girl."
