Wei Shuying knew very well that Qiao Wangzu did not suffer from sleepwalking, and she felt very ashamed of her husband's behavior. However, when she thought that if Qiao Wangzu was caught for theft, he would lose his job if he could not get it, and now the family of five was living on Qiao Wangzu's salary. She
This one in my belly is about to give birth...
"Osmanthus, do you think this is okay? We will pay for the fish. They belong to the neighbors in the street, so there is no need to take it to the police." Wei Shuying walked up to Wu Guihua with a face filled with shame and whispered.
When Wu Guihua saw Wei Shuying's big belly, her heart instantly softened and she was about to speak.
But when Qiao Wangzu heard that he would have to pay compensation, he said unhappily: "Isn't this fish here? How much money do you have to pay..."
Qin Hao sneered: "This fish is still there, but where are the two fish from yesterday? Did they get into the dog's belly?"
"I didn't get those two fish, don't rely on me." Qiao Wangzu said in a muffled voice.
"Well, in that case, it's better to call the police."
Qiao Wangzu was frightened when he heard this: "No, don't call the police. I will pay you any amount."
"For two fish, just give me one dollar."
"One dollar? Why don't you go and grab it?" Qiao Wangzu almost jumped up.
Qin Hao sarcastically said: "It's better to rob than to steal. Do you know which person is the least welcome in the prison? Apart from strong female criminals, they are thieves. If you don't believe me, you can go in and try."
"you........"
In the end, Qiao Wangzu dejectedly took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to Qin Hao. He subconsciously wanted to go back through the wall he climbed over, but he saw that the neighbors were staring at him, their eyes full of contempt, vigilance, and shame.
He sluggishly broke out of the crowd and rushed home without making any movement.
"Osmanthus, I'm really sorry, I..."
Wu Guihua held Wei Shuying's hand and comforted her: "I know, I know that this woman's marriage is equivalent to reincarnation for the second time. If you are not lucky enough to meet such a man, it will be difficult for you."
Wei Shuying burst into tears.
When the neighbors who were watching the excitement saw that the protagonists were gone, they all dispersed and were about to go to work.
When Wei Shuying just returned home, a water glass was smashed in front of her, which shocked her.
Qiao Wangzu said angrily with a dark face: "What are you talking about with her sister? Can't you see what that widow did to your husband? I'm warning you, go to her house again in the future and see how I deal with you."
Wei Shuying's eyes were dim and she didn't dare to say anything. She could only squat down and pick up the enamel water cup again.
This scene was all seen by Qiao Yicheng who was hiding in the side room. In fact, he had woken up a long time ago, but he was too embarrassed to see his biological father in such an ugly state. Originally, he looked down upon Qiao Wangzu. At this moment, Qiao Yicheng
His eyes were filled with contempt for Qiao Wangzu.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go cook quickly? You want me to go to work hungry!"
Wei Shuying struggled to move to the kitchen as if she was resigned to her fate.
On the way to school, Qin Hao noticed something was wrong with Qiao Yicheng, who was hanging far behind. Whenever Qin Hao glanced over, he would lower his head or turn his head to the side.
"What are you doing?" Qin Hao walked up to Qiao Yicheng and patted him hard on the shoulder.
Qiao Yicheng lowered his head guiltily: "No, it's nothing."
"Do you want to go fishing together after school?"
"want."
Qiao Yicheng almost blurted out, and at the same time looked at Qin Hao uneasily.
"Okay, it was your father who did it, not you. This is a new society, and we don't want to sit together."
"Thank you..." Qiao Yicheng was bored for a long time before finally holding back two words.
"Let's go, we're almost late."
In the next week, Qin Hao and Qiao Yicheng went fishing every day, especially on Sundays. They fished all day long, still at the original fishing spot. Master Niu watched them fish one fish at a time, and then another fish at another time.
It can only be attributed to Qin Hao's secret method.
During this period, Qin Hao's accumulated assets finally exceeded one hundred yuan. Unlike Qiao Yicheng, Qin Hao did not give the money to Wu Guihua, but only took back a few fish occasionally.
Qiao Yicheng didn't say anything, and Wu Guihua didn't know the true harvest of their fishing. She thought that they could catch a few fish every few days for toothpaste, and Qin Hao was not in any danger during this period, so they just let him go.
However, Wei Shuying knew how terrible her son and Qin Hao's gains were. With the money in her hands, Wei Shuying did not spend lavishly. She knew that with Qiao Wangzu's temperament, if she knew that she had money in her hands, she would definitely not give her any more life.
Already.
Wei Shuying could only carry Qiao Wangzu on her back and secretly buy some nutritious things, while Qiao Yicheng bought some snacks for his younger brothers and sisters from time to time. After the three little ones ate well, their faces no longer looked disheveled, and their appearance became more and more beautiful.
Becoming more and more lovable.
Especially Qiao Simei, who is chubby and looks like a porcelain doll, and has a sweet mouth. She even got a lot of snacks from Qin Hao.
"I don't have any other requirements for you. As long as you don't finish last in the exam, I won't have the shame to go to your school for the parent-teacher meeting."
On the day of the quiz, early in the morning, although Wu Guihua said she disliked it, she still got two boiled eggs for Qin Hao and went to the street to buy a fried dough stick.
In Wu Guihua's view, Qin Hao didn't look like he was studying all day long. He went fishing after school, and when he got home, he didn't see him reading or doing homework. Unlike Qiao Yicheng, who stayed up all night and worked hard every day.
It is just a reading material.
Qin Hao rolled his eyes when he heard this. Do you need him to learn something like elementary school?
Across the wall from Qiao's house, Wei Shufen also prepared two eggs and one fried dough stick for Qiao Yicheng. This was only because she had the confidence to have money in her pocket recently. In the past, she would not have been able to part with it.
Qiao Wangzu said sourly: "Isn't it just to pass the junior high school entrance examination? There is no need to eat so well. I have never seen these when I go to work every day."
Qiao Yicheng originally planned to share the eggs with his younger brothers and sisters, but was stopped by Wei Shufen. He swallowed and ate the food anyway.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Take the test well and don't be nervous."
Before going out, Wei Shuying arranged her son's red scarf.
At this time, only Young Pioneers were eligible to wear the red scarf, and there were only a dozen places in the entire sixth grade. Students with good grades like Qiao Yicheng had naturally joined the Young Pioneers long ago.
In the school examination room, the teacher handed out the papers and began to stare at the students who usually had poor academic performance.
Naturally, Qin Hao was also the focus of attention, but what surprised the invigilator this time was that Qin Hao was actually answering the questions very seriously, and he answered the questions very quickly.
"It's not written randomly, is it?"
The invigilator subconsciously walked behind Qin Hao, took one look at him, and was stunned.
"This, is this a word that a child can write?"
The invigilator wiped his eyes, thinking that he had made a mistake because of his dim eyesight. However, it was not the case. The handwriting on the paper was clearly visible, and he watched Qin Hao write it word by word. There could be no lies.
"Could it be that this kid is still a budding calligrapher?"
While the invigilator was stunned, Qin Hao had already finished the test paper, walked straight to the podium, put down the paper, and left in the astonished eyes of everyone.
Qiao Yicheng was obviously stunned when he saw this scene. He had just filled in the blanks now.
"Isn't it because I handed in a blank paper?"
The invigilator quickly walked to the podium and began to look at Qin Hao's answer sheet. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Although these questions were very simple, each question was good in such a short period of time, and the handwriting was so good.
.......
"Did I blame him wrongly before? Is this child sleeping in class because he has learned everything and finds it boring?"
The primary school exam is very simple, with only three subjects: Chinese, mathematics, and one ideological and moral subject. As for English, there is no such course at all.
After the exam, a group of brats started to let themselves go.
Qiao Yicheng is also very happy, because the summer vacation means he can have more time to fish. The more fish he catches, the more money he can sell.
With money, the food at home has obviously improved, and his mother's complexion is getting better and better. She is not like the cold sweats and pale face before. He can also buy snacks for his younger brothers and sisters, and he can also eat some himself.
For Qiao Yicheng, this was a life that he had never dared to imagine before.
Just when Qiao Yicheng was about to go to Qin Hao's house to get the fishing rod as usual, Qin Hao stopped him.
"I'm not going to fish anymore, I'm going to do something else."
Qiao Yicheng was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why?"
Qiao Yicheng was very puzzled. In his opinion, why did he stop doing such a good thing as fishing, and still make money without being tired?
“It’s too slow to make money.”
Listening to Qin Hao's tone full of disdain, Qiao Yicheng was shocked and looked at him in disbelief. He could earn more than ten yuan a day, so how little? This was much higher than his own father's salary.
"Then, what are you going to do?"
Qin Hao pointed to a pile of wood placed in the corner. Qin Hao spent three yuan to collect it two days ago. At that time, Qiao Yicheng was very puzzled and didn't understand why he bought so much wood.
"Making furniture."
"Furniture?" Qiao Yicheng's head was full of questions.
Qiao Yicheng couldn't understand Qin Hao's approach. He finally chose to continue fishing. Qin Hao didn't stop him and started building furniture on his own.
There are not enough materials to make sofas. Foam sponges, springs, etc. are all planned production. Not to mention, it is easy to attract attention. If you are labeled as a petty bourgeoisie, you will be in trouble.
After all, in this world, he is just a child of an ordinary worker. Without a backstage, it is better to keep a low profile.
Although I can't make a sofa, I can still make a chest of drawers and a dressing cabinet.
Basically, each household hires a carpenter to make this thing by themselves, and few people go to the mall to buy it. After all, the prices in the mall are high, and they also require receipts.
"Haozi, what are you doing? It's a shame that you sawed such good wood." Wu Guihua felt very sorry for Qin Hao's prodigal behavior.
Qin Hao didn't care about her and was busy with his work.
The little girl Qin Xianglan watched with great interest. When she got bored, she would scatter the sawdust everywhere for fun. She was scolded by Wu Guihua before she calmed down a little.
It wasn't until Qin Hao finished making a chair that Wu Guihua realized what she was doing.
"Haozi, you...when did you learn to be a carpenter?"
Qin Hao said lightly: "I watched Carpenter Zhu do it a few times, and I went to the library to find a few books to read. I didn't expect it to be quite simple."
"Simple?" Wu Guihua doesn't think so. You know, carpentry is a very popular profession these days.
Not to mention anything else, there is no such thing as a three-way wedding these days. They all have thirty-six legs. The so-called thirty-six legs are actually a set of furniture: a bunk bed, a three-door cupboard, a chest of drawers, and a dressing table.
, the dining table, and the four chairs have a total of thirty-six legs. Of course, some families with particularly good conditions also have seventy-two legs.
As a direct result of the popularity of carpenters, many people want to learn this craft. The conditions for a master carpenter to accept an apprentice are also very harsh. The apprentice not only has to work for him for free, but also has to give him gifts during the holidays.
"Oh, my dear son, you are so smart." Wu Guihua beamed, even happier than Qin Hao for getting high marks in the exam.
For people of Wu Guihua's generation, a craft means the ability of their children to support their families in the future.
The little girl has climbed onto the chair, her two chubby little feet dangling in the air, very leisurely.
Qin Hao ignored the excited Wu Guihua and continued to build the slightly more difficult Eight Immortals table.
Although he hasn't worked for a while, his hands and feet are not new. It took three times the time to build a chair, and Qin Hao finished building an Eight Immortals table.
Wu Guihua walked around the Eight Immortals Table several times, with a look of disbelief on her face. She even tested the stability and load-bearing capacity of the Eight Immortals Table, and the results were far beyond her expectations.
"Hey, this Eight Immortals table is pretty good, Osmanthus fragrans, who did you ask to play it?"
A passing neighbor asked curiously.
Wu Guihua subconsciously looked at her son. While her neighbor was talking, she had already walked into the yard and came to the Eight Immortals table. She touched it gently with her hands and couldn't help but admire it.
"Well, this Eight Immortals table is really nice. The pattern on it is both fashionable and exquisite. It's obvious that this craftsmanship is made by a master craftsman. Did you ask Carpenter Li to make it?"
The neighbor said to himself, and spared a circle of the Eight Immortals table, as if he wished he could take it for himself.
"Our family, Haozi, did it himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the neighbor smiled and patted Wu Guihua: "Don't make trouble, I won't take it from you."
"It was really our family Haozi who beat him. Look at the sawdust here."
The neighbor looked at Wu Guihua for a while, and saw that her face was serious and did not look like she was joking. Then he looked at Qin Hao: "Did you really hit her?"
Qin Hao ignored her and continued to use the remaining wood to knock out the remaining three chairs.
Seeing it with his own eyes, the neighbor felt that his worldview had been subverted. A teenage boy actually had such good skills.
"Hey, why don't you sell this set of Eight Immortals tables and chairs from Osmanthus to me? Our eldest brother happens to be in a relationship and is getting married soon, so it will be useful."
Wu Guihua was obviously moved, but Qin Hao refused directly.
"Yao Grandma, this is not okay. If I am caught and accused of poaching socialist enemies, I cannot afford it. We should use these tables and chairs for our own use."
