In the next month, Qin Hao took Qiao Yicheng to rush through the previous orders. Due to the outstanding quality and exquisite shape of the furniture, people came here from time to time, and the shipping date was already scheduled to three months later.
During this period, under Qin Hao's guidance, Qiao Yicheng was able to independently complete relatively simple furniture such as the Eight Immortals tables and chairs, but Qin Hao still needed to do the carvings himself.
During this month, Qin Hao took the food stamps, cloth stamps, and oil stamps that were in short supply and exchanged them for cash on the black market. After converting them, he already had 500 yuan and a lot of bills, which was enough for a family of three.
I have been eating and drinking for several years. As for the meat stamps, there is no need to think about it. Every household is short of oil and water. I would rather give more cloth stamps and food stamps than anyone using meat stamps as payment.
Qin Hao gave Qiao one hundred yuan, thirty kilograms of food stamps, and twenty feet of cloth stamps as his wages.
At first, Wei Shuying refused to accept the offer. In her opinion, Qiao Yicheng could learn a craft from Qin Hao without spending any money. She had never heard of the apprentice being paid a salary.
However, Qin Hao insisted on settling Qiao Yicheng's salary because he was afraid that someone would report him, and in the end Wei Shuying had no choice but to accept it.
Although Qiao Yicheng didn't say anything, he worked even harder.
On this day, Qin Hao and Qiao Yicheng were still building furniture in the yard, and an aunt stopped when she passed by.
"Haozi, Yicheng, why are you still here? Today's quiz results are out, why don't you go and see which school you got admitted to?"
"Thank you, Aunt Liu. Look, I was so busy that I forgot about it."
Qin Hao dusted off his hands and was about to pack up and go to school, but found that Qiao Yicheng was still immersed in his work and had no intention of stopping.
"Let's go, stop it, there's no rush at this moment." Qin Hao patted Qiao Yicheng.
Only then did Qiao Yicheng stop the saw and said in a lack of interest: "It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not..."
"Don't you have any weird ideas?" Qin Hao was keenly aware of Qiao Yicheng's abnormality.
Qiao Yicheng looked at the neighbor next to him unhappily: "I can earn more than my dad doing this in a month. You can also see the situation in our family. Second Qiang is already in second grade, Sanli will soon be in first grade, and Fourth
Mei will go to school in two years..."
Qin Hao was stunned by what he said. Together with him, he took Qiao Yicheng to make money and improve his living conditions, but it actually gave Qiao Yicheng the idea of dropping out of school?
"Qiao Yicheng, are you sick?"
After being scolded, Qiao Yicheng didn't reply, but just looked at Qin Hao with a puzzled expression.
Qin Hao said angrily: "Are you mentally ill? Do your brothers and sisters have no parents? Do you need a half-year-old child to sacrifice for them? Besides, have you asked Aunt Wei for her opinion?
Do you think you are so great? What will they think when the top two become sensible in the future? In order for them to study and have a better life, their brother gave up his studies and worked hard all day to support them.
You just want them to grow up carrying this?"
Qin Hao's words were like a heavy hammer that smashed Qiao Yicheng's fragile values. He just felt that if he dropped out of school, he could help share some of the pressure on his family, make his mother less tired, and make his younger siblings' lives easier.
But I never thought about whether they were willing.
"Stop talking nonsense and come with me to school." Qin Hao didn't give Qiao Yicheng a chance to continue to struggle and kicked him in the butt.
Qiao Yicheng was kicked so hard that he hesitated and followed.
When we came to the school, the parents coming and going had different faces. Some were happy, some were angry, and some had an indifferent attitude.
There was a red list posted at the school gate. The arrival of Qiao Yicheng and Qin Hao did not attract people's attention at first.
Until the head teacher came over, came to Qin Hao with a complicated expression, and said: "Qin Hao, come to the office with me."
"Is he Qin Hao from Class 3, Grade 5?"
"Is he the only one in the school who got perfect scores?"
Qiao Yicheng looked up at the list and saw Qin Hao's name in the top column. His name was ranked fifth, and the name after Qin Hao was also familiar to him, it was his cousin Qi Weimin.
In the office, the head teacher stared at Qin Hao with a serious face.
"What happened to your grades?"
Qin Hao spread his hands: "Teacher, do you suspect that I plagiarized in the quiz?"
The head teacher was at a loss for words. During the exam, he was the proctor throughout the entire exam. He saw Qin Hao filling out the papers with his own eyes, and the only one with perfect scores in the school was Qin Hao. Who could he copy?
"You usually don't pay much attention to lectures, how do you get full marks in the exam?"
Qin Hao smiled lightly: "It's such a simple question, do you still need to listen to the lecture?"
Okay, you win. The corner of the class teacher's mouth twitched for a while. He paused for a while and then warned: "I will be entering junior high school soon. The knowledge points in junior high school are not as simple as those in elementary school. You must listen carefully in class in the future and don't just rely on a little cleverness.
If you don't study, you will hurt Zhongyong, have you heard the story?"
Seeing the head teacher's attitude of "I've never heard of it, I'll tell you again," Qin Hao quickly nodded, and the head teacher let him go.
On the way back, Qiao Yicheng followed Qin Hao, his eyes full of doubts.
He was in the same class as Qin Hao, so he naturally knew how Qin Hao was in class. He basically slept from school to the end of school. He didn't see him studying at home, but his test scores were better than anyone else's.
It's okay to say that his cousin Qi Weimin's grades are better than his. The Qi family's conditions are better than theirs, and they can study without distraction. However, Qin Hao doesn't study much and knows so many weird crafts...
"What else can't he do?"
After returning home, Qin Hao and Qiao Yicheng continued to work. When Wu Guihua came back, she also learned from her neighbors that Qin Hao got perfect marks in the exam. At first, she didn't think it was someone else teasing her.
But more and more neighbors were congratulating her, and Wu Guihua finally believed that her son had really ranked first in the school.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Son, you are so proud of me." Wu Guihua hugged Qin Hao with tears in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, a trace of envy flashed in Qiao Yicheng's eyes. However, when he returned home, Qiao Wangzu learned that he had ranked fifth in the school. He didn't even glance at him and said something cold.
"What's there to show off about my grades in elementary school? My grades were also very good in elementary school."
Just when Wei Shuying wanted to encourage her son, Qiao Wangzu impatiently urged her to cook and complained.
"I don't know what to do at home day by day. I can't even make a meal. I'm still hungry when I come back."
Wei Shuying sighed secretly. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger. She was only a few days away from her due date. Her legs were so swollen that she couldn't even put on shoes. She also had to take care of the children of Er Qiang...
"Mom, let me help you." Qiao Yicheng helped his mother to the kitchen.
Wei Shuying looked at her eldest son, whose cheeks already had a certain outline, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. Fortunately, she still had a son.
Another week later, on this day, Qin Hao and Qiao Yicheng were sawing wood, and suddenly they heard Qiao Erqiang's shouting and the crying of Sanli and Simei coming from next door.
"Brother, come back quickly."
Qiao Yicheng quickly put down his work and climbed over the wall to return home. Qin Hao followed him.
Wei Shuying covered her stomach with one hand and sat on the chair with a pale face. Big beads of sweat kept falling from her forehead.
"Yicheng, I seem to be about to give birth."
Qiao Yicheng was also panicked. Although he usually looked calm and calm, he was only a twelve-year-old child after all, and Liushenwuzhu had no idea at all.
Upon seeing this, Qin Hao quickly shouted to Qiao Yicheng: "What are you still doing? Call a car and take him to the hospital!"
"Yes, call a car. I'll call a car!" Qiao Yicheng finally recovered and ran away.
Qin Hao said to Qiao Erqiang: "You take good care of your two sisters at home and don't let them run around, do you know?"
"Well, Brother Hao, I will keep an eye on them." Although Qiao Erqiang is a bit naughty on weekdays, he is actually quite obedient.
When Wei Shuying saw Qin Hao making arrangements so calmly, she was not as panicked as before. After all, she had given birth to four children, so she still had experience. Gradually, her breath calmed down and her face was not as pale as before.
"Xiaolan, bring the jar of brown sugar from home." Qin Hao shouted to his sister who had just walked around to watch the fun.
Qin Xianglan has become accustomed to obeying Qin Hao's words. No matter whether it is right or not, as long as she listens to her elder brother's words, there will always be something delicious.
Soon Qin Xianglan came with a small jar of brown sugar. Qin Hao asked Qiao Erqiang to pour a bowl of warm water, then dug out a spoonful of brown sugar and dissolved it in the water.
"Aunt Wei, drink some brown sugar water first to replenish some sugar."
Qin Hao was actually a little nervous. In the original drama, Wei Shuying died in childbirth giving birth to this child.
During this period, Qin Hao saw Wei Shuying's concern for her children. If the choice of life and death was given to Wei Shuying, she would definitely choose to live without hesitation. She would not let go of these children.
"Well, thank you." Wei Shuying drank a bowl of brown sugar water. She knew that she needed to maintain her strength to give birth to a baby.
After a while, Qiao Yicheng finally borrowed a truck out of breath. As for cars, he had no hope at all. Cars these days are not suitable for ordinary people, and even trucks are very few.
With the support of Qiao Yicheng and Qin Hao, Wei Shuying lay down on the cart, and the man pulling the cart carefully went out.
Qiao Erqiang stopped Sanli and Simei who were about to catch up. In order to prevent them from crying, Qiao Erqiang took it upon himself to dig out some from the brown sugar jar and let his two sisters lick it. Qin Xianglan saw that Sanli and Simei were beautiful.
He also wanted to eat sweets. Seeing the three of them eating so deliciously, Qiao Erqiang couldn't resist the temptation. As a result, gradually, more than half of the can of brown sugar was gone.
When the neighbors saw Wei Shuying being taken to the hospital, they quickly ran to inform Qiao's relatives and friends. These days, the relationship between neighbors is still relatively close, sometimes even better than relatives. That is to say, Qiao Wangzu's character is usually too bad to be popular.
, otherwise Wei Shuying would not be without neighbors to take care of her as her due date approaches.
At first, the neighbors wanted to notify Qiao Wangzu, but Qiao Wangzu didn't go to work at all today and couldn't find anyone anywhere. They had no choice but to go to Qi's house and notify Wei Shuying's sister Wei Shufang.
Wei Shufang told her eldest son Qi Weimin to take good care of her younger siblings and rushed to the hospital immediately.
When she arrived at the hospital, Wei Shuying had already been sent to the delivery room. Outside the delivery room, only Qiao Yicheng stood blankly in the corridor, looking at a loss.
"Issei, where is your dad?"
Only then did Qiao Yicheng hugged Wei Shufang: "Aunt, my dad is not at home."
Wei Shufang was so angry: "Didn't I tell him last time that your mother was due to give birth in the next few days and asked him to take leave and not go to work? And I heard from people in their factory that he didn't go to work today either. Where was he going?
Already?"
At this time, Qin Hao happened to finish the hospitalization procedures for Wei Shuying and sneered: "Where else can I go? I'm probably playing cards again."
Wei Shufang was extremely angry: "My wife is giving birth to a baby, but he still has the heart to play cards."
When her husband Qi Zhiqiang arrived, Wei Shufen immediately handed Qiao Yicheng to him and went to find Qiao Wangzu.
Qi Zhiqiang took the hospitalization receipt from Qin Hao, looked at the delivery room and said with lingering fear: "Thank you for today."
As he spoke, he took out his wallet from his pocket and counted the money to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw Qi Zhiqiang's nervous look.
Judging from Qi Zhiqiang's performance in the original drama, he was too kind to Qiao Yicheng and the others. He took Qiao Qiqi back to raise him, and took care of Qiao Yicheng and the others in various ways. This uncle was even better than his biological father.
Just because Wei Shufang and Wei Shuying are sisters?
And judging from Qiao Wangzu's attitude towards Qi Zhiqiang, it can also be confirmed from the side that Qi Zhiqiang should have had a relationship with Wei Shuying. Otherwise, how could a person like Qiao Wangzu, who was so happy when he took advantage, be so bad as Qi Zhiqiang, the "biggest victim"?
As soon as Qin Hao took the money, his mother Wu Guihua also came to the hospital. When she heard this, she couldn't help but cursed Qiao Wangzu.
"This Qiao Wangzu is really not a man. Shuying will suffer a lot by marrying him."
Qin Hao observed that Qi Zhiqiang's expression was obviously unnatural, and he became more convinced of his guess.
After almost an hour, Wei Shufang finally pulled Qiao Wangzu off the card table.
Wu Guihua didn't rub sand in her eyes, and when she saw Qiao Wangzu's indifferent look, she became very angry.
"Your wife has a big belly and is busy all day long. As for you, you just don't care about anything. You still have a pregnant woman to take care of you. You are too embarrassed. I can't stand being an outsider."
Qiao Wangzu curled his lips: "You don't live with me, why are you meddling in our family's business?"
"Should I ever sleep with you? Even if all men in this world are dead, I won't even sleep with you." Wu Guihua spat and cursed.
"No wonder your man died so early."
As soon as Qiao Wangzu finished speaking, he felt pain on the right side of his face as if it was on fire. A huge force slapped him so hard that he fell off the chair in the corridor and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up. His mouth was full of blood.
"Say one more thing!"
Wei Shufang was dumbfounded, and at the same time she felt relieved in her heart. She could no longer stand it when Qiao Wangzu treated her sister like this.
"You, you dare to hit me." Qiao Wangzu got up and roared angrily.
Qin Hao walked up to Qiao Wangzu and said word for word: "If you dare to say a word about my father again, I will slap you. If you don't believe me, try it!"
