At seven o'clock in the evening, the lights in the main hall of the Qiao family were still on. Qiao Zuwang did not go out for a walk as usual tonight.
Under the dim light, Qiao Zuwang sat alone in front of the Eight Immortals table, taking a sip of duck rack and drinking a sip of wine.
He moved very slowly, as if he was savoring the food on the table. In fact, he knew what he was doing.
He ate so slowly on purpose. His idea was simple: while eating, he waited for the children to come back.
Later, he will show 'Qiao Yicheng' how comfortable your father's life is.
I can eat half a duck for a few yuan when I want. In the past, I only bought Yanghe Daqu during New Years and holidays, but now I can buy it whenever I want.
However, Qiao Zuwang's plan completely failed. Li Jie returned home and only glanced at it before looking away.
Qiao Zuwang is not a person who can save money at all. Once he has a few banknotes in his pocket, he will think of ways to make them.
It is more appropriate to use a word from later generations to describe him. He is a typical moonlight tribe.
Li Jie knew exactly how much money he had. With the little money he had on hand, how could he afford to build it like this?
In a few days, before the salary is paid, I will probably have no money on hand.
But as the saying goes, people are like iron, and rice is like steel. If you don't eat even one meal, you will feel hungry. How could Qiao Zuwang let himself go hungry?
No money for food?
It’s simple, just eat.
To be honest, Li Jie was surprised that Qiao Zuwang could persist for such a long time in the face of the temptation of delicious food.
"Come back?"
Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, Qiao Zuwang couldn't help but ask.
Li Jie was too lazy to answer, and walked into the back room with Qiqi in his arms. The three younger brothers only looked at their eldest brother, then at their own father, and finally only the second and third child returned to Qiao Zuwang.
"dad."
Just as Erqiang was replying, Sanli secretly pulled Simei into the back room.
Among the siblings, she listens to her eldest brother the most. He said before, 'Wait until daddy becomes a normal daddy before talking to daddy again.'
When the second strongman saw Sanli's actions, he immediately remembered his elder brother's instructions, and then quickly followed Sanli's footsteps towards the back room.
Seeing the reactions of several children, Qiao Zuwang's face suddenly became angry.
Bang!
Qiao Zuwang slammed the table and glanced at the back room angrily.
It must be a good thing done by ‘Qiao Yicheng’!
The second strong, the third beautiful, and the fourth beautiful are still so young. If they can understand it, they must be encouraged by the boss!
Whoops!
Whoops!
Qiao Zuwang's eyes were red with anger. He wanted to rush into the room and teach his boss a lesson, but before he could stand up, he remembered the last experience again.
Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if a similar scene was staged in front of children again?
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Zuwang gave up using force.
Anyway, the days ahead are still long, just wait and see.
He still doesn't believe it. How much money can a child make?
If money were so easy to make, there wouldn't be so many poor people in the world.
Once the boss has made enough money, it will be his turn to clean up the mess.
'snort.'
'Starting from tomorrow, I will eat at home every day, eat your food, drink your food, and eat up all the money you have.'
…
…
…
The next morning, Qiao Zuwang's "eat up plan" went bankrupt before it could be implemented. Li Jie didn't even think about having breakfast at home today.
Early in the morning, he took Qiqi and his brothers and sisters out and went straight to the bun shop on the next street.
When Qiao Zuwang got up and saw the empty room, he looked around and saw no one. He was dumbfounded.
Where are people?
Went out to have breakfast again?
Looking at the rising sun, Qiao Zuwang let out a long sigh.
What a bad start!
This is not a good sign.
However, although Qiao Zuwang has many shortcomings, he is not without any strengths. For example, his ability to adjust is very strong.
After a while, he adjusted his emotions.
If you can avoid the first year of junior high school, can you also avoid the fifteenth day?
As long as he stayed at Lao Qiao's house for a day, there would always be an opportunity to start a meal. When the time came, he would just start eating without saying a word.
After making up his mind, Qiao Zuwang went to the kitchen and rummaged through the cabinets, only to find a small handful of noodles.
In addition, there are no side dishes in the kitchen, no vegetables, no eggs, no eggs.
"No, where are the pickles at home?"
Qiao Zuwang muttered to himself while continuing to look for food. He remembered clearly that there were two jars of pickles at home.
Why can't I see even one now?
Could it be that the boss is hiding it?
The more Qiao Zuwang thought about it, the more he realized that this idea was right. This boss was so cruel that he wouldn't even leave a pickle for me.
When he thought of this, Qiao Zuwang suddenly became angry and rushed into the children's hut angrily.
He remembered that the boss bought a lot of snacks some time ago, such as malted milk, sugar, biscuits, etc. There were a lot of them in the house.
Since there is nothing to eat in the kitchen, he will eat these snacks this morning.
As soon as he entered the room, Qiao Zuwang rushed directly to the closet to pay. He had noticed before that all the food was placed in the closet.
Squeak!
Qiao Zuwang reached out to open the cabinet and found that there was nothing inside except clothes and bed sheets.
Where's the food?
So much food?
Where have they all gone?
After being stunned for a moment, Qiao Zuwang took action again and began to search all over the place. He searched under the bed, on high-foot cabinets, in wooden boxes, under quilts, anywhere where things could be hidden.
In Jinling in July, the temperature has gradually become hotter. Even in the relatively cool morning, the temperature is not low.
Qiao Zuwang searched around, but found nothing but sweat.
Won't they all be eaten?
Qiao Zuwang couldn't help but think of a possibility. After all, the Qiao family was such a big place, and as long as you looked carefully, there would be no place to hide anything.
"These losers."
In more than half a month, these little guys ate up more than a month's salary of him. When he thought about this, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
Although the money spent was not his money, it was all the money of Lao Qiao’s family. Aren’t they all the same!
On the other side, on the way to the bun shop, Sanli secretly pulled the corner of Li Jie's clothes and said in a lowered voice.
"Brother, when will daddy get better?"
After all, Sanli was still young, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw her elder brother and her father having a stalemate for more than half a month.
Li Jie smiled slightly, but instead of giving her a direct answer, he said.
"Sanli, big brother will teach you a lesson today. You have to eat your meals one bite at a time and walk the road step by step. Only in this way can you eat healthily and go far."
Sanli was confused when she heard this sentence and didn't quite understand it.
Although she didn't understand it, she still remembered it secretly.
