Qiao Zuwang was discharged from the hospital. This illness made him think about many things. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he went straight to Qingshui Lane without even returning home.
When he arrived at Qingshui Lane, he happened to meet Li Jie going out with four little ones.
Seeing the children wearing fashionable new clothes one by one, Qiao Zuwang felt a flash of disappointment in his heart.
If the children followed him, would they be able to wear such nice clothes?
He can't even guarantee that his children will wear new clothes every year!
However, Qiao Zuwang quickly adjusted his mood. He came here just to express his feelings and did not think about success.
Let’s talk about what happens next.
Qiao Zuwang's face was filled with a smile and he called out the names of the children one by one.
"One percent, two strong, three beauties, four beauties, seventy-seven."
Qiqi looked at the 'stranger' in front of him curiously. There was no such person as Qiao Zuwang in his memory.
Seeing Qiqi blinking at him, Qiao Zuwang immediately gave what he thought was a kind smile.
However, his actions frightened Qiqi, who turned her head and arched her head towards Li Jie's arms.
"Brother, Qiqi is afraid."
The child's unintentional avoidance deeply hurt Qiao Zuwang.
Qiqi in Yi Cheng's arms is his biological son, but Qiqi doesn't recognize him.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
But who can blame this?
Blame ‘Yicheng’?
No, Qiao Zuwang had already figured it out during his hospitalization. It was all his fault and he had done it himself!
Therefore, although he was sad at this time, he was not angry.
He had no reason or qualification to blame Yi Cheng.
After a while, Qiao Zuwang adjusted his emotions and said with hope.
"Issei, can you come over here?"
"Let's talk."
"good."
Li Jie nodded lightly, and then handed Qiqi to Er Qiang.
"You guys go back to the house first, I'll be back in a minute."
The three little ones only looked at their elder brother, then at Qiao Zuwang in front of them, and finally returned to the courtyard with different thoughts.
In the alley, Qiao Zuwang and Li Jie were walking one behind the other. Both of them were silent, and neither of them spoke first.
When they reached the alley, Qiao Zuwang gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, breaking the silence.
"Yicheng, I was wrong!"
He admitted his mistake as soon as he opened his mouth. The first time for anything is always the rarest. When he opened his mouth, Qiao Zuwang became more and more fluent.
"What happened in the past was all my fault!"
"I am not a qualified husband, nor a qualified father!"
"But I swear, in the future, I will definitely change and be a qualified father!"
"Yicheng, can you forgive me?"
After finishing speaking in one breath, Qiao Zuwang looked at Li Jie expectantly. He wanted to get a positive answer from Li Jie.
However, Li Jie's answer was not what he wanted.
"Now you know it was wrong?"
"is that useful?"
If an apology is useful, the cost of making a mistake is too low.
Although what Qiao Zuwang said was sincere and he did have a heart of repentance, people are complicated and changeable.
This idea today will change tomorrow, no, maybe in the afternoon, especially for people like Qiao Zuwang who have little perseverance.
The weather in June can change at any time.
I forgive him today, but maybe in a few months, he will show his true colors.
Do you really want to beg for forgiveness?
Let’s hold on to it for ten or eight years!
is that useful?
Upon hearing this answer, Qiao Zuwang suddenly felt sad.
Is an apology really useful? Can it really make up for the mistakes he made in the past?
Qiao Zuwang stood there blankly, thinking for a long time. It wasn't until a gust of cold wind blew by that he came back to his senses.
Looking around, the front is empty, and I don’t know when ‘Yi Cheng’ has left.
"well."
Glancing at the crowds of people coming and going in the alley, Qiao Zuwang sighed heavily.
What a sin!
This is all his own fault!
In the future, I will pay it back slowly if I have the opportunity.
Suddenly, Qiao Zuwang felt something cold fall on his face. When he looked up, he saw pieces of snowflakes falling slowly from the sky.
It turns out it's snowing.
Qingshui Lane.
Qiao family.
Looking at the slowly falling snowflakes in the sky, Simei rushed into the yard excitedly, spreading her hands to catch the snow, and kept shouting.
"It's snowing!"
"It's snowing!"
After jumping around for a while, Simei turned her head and glanced at the main room, and waved excitedly towards the inside.
"Second brother, sister, look, it's snowing!"
Looking at the little girl jumping around, Er Qiang showed a heartwarming smile.
Although Sanli's eyes fell on the courtyard, her eyes were unfocused and she was obviously thinking about other things.
She was thinking why her father came over. In the past, her eldest brother was never willing to communicate with him when he saw him.
But today my eldest brother rarely spoke to his father.
Does this mean that the eldest brother is willing to forgive his father?
At this moment, the courtyard door creaked open. Sanli stretched her neck and looked outside. As a result, she looked left and right and saw only her eldest brother.
Simei didn't think too much. When she saw her elder brother coming back, she immediately approached him and pointed at the falling snow in the sky and shouted.
"Brother, look! It's snowing!"
Li Jie smiled, leaned over and pinched her chubby little face.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's snowing, it's snowing."
Simei giggled, held her head high, and said with anticipation: "Brother, let's build a snowman and have a snowball fight together later, okay?"
"Um."
Li Jie nodded obediently, then extended his hand towards the back room.
"Erqiang, Sanli, let's go."
Today, Li Jie is planning to do a "big event". Of course, this big event is for the three little ones. He plans to add a TV to his home.
When Jinling people buy TVs, their first choice is naturally the Panda brand. A 14-inch Panda brand black and white TV sells for 450 yuan in a department store, plus some industrial coupons.
For more than 400 yuan, for most dual-income families, they can save up for a year or two and just bite the bullet and buy it.
What really constrains them is industrial coupons, which are linked to wages, and each person only gets two or three coupons a month.
If you are a two-income family, you can save four or five bills a month. If you save for a year or two, you will definitely be able to afford a TV.
But industrial coupons have a wide range of uses. Most industrial supplies, such as thermos bottles, radios, clocks, sewing machines, bicycles, etc., all need to be purchased with coupons.
Therefore, it is difficult to save this thing.
For people like Li Jie who don't have a serious workplace, if they want industrial coupons, they have to either exchange them from others or buy them on the black market.
On the black market, an industrial coupon ranges from one yuan to two yuan.
"Oh, let's go buy a TV!"
Erqiang and Sanli didn't respond yet, but Simei beside them was the first to jump up happily.
