"Look, the students from this prestigious university are different. They are becoming more and more elegant."
"No, Yi Cheng went to Fudan, one of the best universities."
Qiao Yicheng forced a smile on his stiff face, said hello to the neighbors, and quickly returned home.
"Brother, you are back." Qiao Simei stepped forward and hugged Qiao Yicheng, tears began to flow to both sides uncontrollably.
Qiao Yicheng silently patted his sister on the back and asked softly: "Where are our mother, Erqiang and the others?"
"They went to the second aunt's house. The second uncle..." Qiao Simei was already sobbing. In her memory, Qi Zhiqiang was an elder who loved her very much. In her mind, Qi Zhiqiang was even more like Qiao Zuwang.
Father.
Qiao Yicheng couldn't help but feel a sore nose. He had been envious of Qi Weimin since he was a child. No, it should be said that he was jealous. He was also his father. Qiao Zuwang completely ignored them and only thought about himself being free and happy. However, Qi Zhiqiang was famous for his kindness.
Husband and good father.
But now, this good man who was kind to others and willing to help others could only die in pain in the hospital bed.
When Qiao Yicheng received the call from Qi Weimin, he was completely stunned. He took leave overnight and went home to see Qi Zhiqiang for the last time.
The Qi family was already crying. Wei Shufang was crying like a tearful person, and the relatives of the Qi family were also crying with red eyes.
Wei Shuying did not squeeze to the head of the bed. She once liked Qi Zhiqiang, but she ended up marrying someone else by mistake.
Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Sanli hugged each other and sobbed. Qi Zhiqiang in front of the hospital bed was obviously breathing his last breath and might pass away at any time.
"This world is really unfair. How could such a good person like Lao Qi get such a fatal disease?" Wu Guihua also brought Qin Hao and Qin Xianglan to see Qi Zhiqiang off for the last time.
In fact, Qin Hao once reminded Qi Weimin to take Qi Zhiqiang to the hospital for a check-up, but he didn't know whether it was because Qi Weimin didn't take it to heart or because the medical level at the time was limited and he didn't detect it.
"One percent is here."
"Yicheng, please come in and take a last look at your uncle."
Qiao Yicheng squeezed his way through the crowd and came to Qi Zhiqiang's bedside.
When Qi Zhiqiang saw Qiao Yicheng's originally cloudy eyes, his eyes suddenly became brighter. He grabbed Qiao Yicheng's hand and said with his last bit of strength.
"Issei...take care of your younger brothers and sisters...and your mother, she has suffered a lot in her life..."
"dad."
"dad!"
Qi Zhiqiang left, and his funeral was held with great splendor. People who came to see him off lined up in a long line on the street. Qi Weimin held Qi Zhiqiang's portrait and cried like a lost child who couldn't find his home.
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end..."
When Wei Shuying returned home with her children from attending Qi Zhiqiang's funeral, she heard the sound of Qiao Zuwang humming a ditty from the hall.
Only Qiao Qiqi was too young to understand the meaning of the ditty that Qiao Zuwang hummed, and the faces of the others became ugly.
"Dad, what do you mean? My second uncle just left today. Is it appropriate for you to sing such a song?" Qiao Simei was the first to lose control and shouted at Qiao Zuwang.
Qiao Zuwang acted like a scoundrel: "I'm happy, you can control it, no matter how big or small, I am your biological father, if you figure it out, it will turn the world upside down!"
Wei Shuying didn't want to pay attention to him and went straight to the kitchen to prepare for cooking. However, Qiao Yicheng couldn't bear it and rushed to Qiao Zuwang and gritted his teeth.
"Some people are dead but they will always live in our hearts. Some people are alive, but they are actually dead long ago!"
Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he yelled: "What did you say? Curse me to death, you unfilial son!"
"Am I wrong? Good people don't live long and disasters live for thousands of years. If there was justice in this world, a good person like my uncle would not die so early!"
Facing his red-eyed eldest son, Qiao Zuwang's arrogance was suddenly suppressed. Only then did he realize that his eldest son was already as tall as him. Looking at his second son and third daughter...
Qiao Zuwang suddenly realized that the children had grown up and were no longer at an age where he could handle them at will.
The furious Qiao Zuwang raised his crutch and was about to hit Qiao Yicheng, but Qiao Yicheng grabbed his hold.
"If you let go, do you still dare to fight your own father?"
Qiao Yicheng threw the crutch aside and said coldly: "Compared with my uncle, you are nothing."
Qiao Zuwang slumped down on the recliner. He subconsciously looked at the other children, only to find that they were looking at him with disgust and disgust.
"Why is this happening? I am their biological father."
In the evening, after dinner, Qiao Yicheng came to Qin Hao's house. At this time, there were many fewer people sitting around watching TV in the yard than before. The reason is also very simple. Many families with good conditions nearby also bought
The TV set was installed to disperse the flow of people.
"I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination."
"I want to live for myself once."
Qiao Yicheng said firmly.
Qin Hao asked calmly: "Is it because of your uncle?"
"Well, my uncle is a good husband and father. He has lived for others all his life, but as a result..." Qiao Yicheng said with red eyes.
Qin Hao patted him on the shoulder: "No one knows which one will come first tomorrow or the accident. Just do what you want to do."
"Well, what about you? You will graduate next year, what are your plans?" Qiao Yicheng wiped away his tears.
Qin Hao looked at Wu Guihua and Qin Xianglan who were sitting in the yard watching TV, and smiled: "Earn money and bring them a good life."
.......
Qiao Yicheng went to Shanghai after attending the funeral. He had to race against time to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. He knew very well that he was not a genius. His grades were improved by studying hard over and over again. He had no time to waste.
Qi Zhiqiang's death did not affect the daily lives of too many people except for a few close people, and life will continue.
That day, Qiao Erqiang received a call and hurriedly ran out of the dormitory.
"Brother Hao... Is this the new bicycle you bought? It's a Phoenix brand. It's so handsome."
Qin Hao smiled and shook his head, patting the bicycle seat: "I bought it for you, how do you like it?"
Qiao Erqiang's face was full of disbelief, and his voice was trembling: "Brother Hao, are you really giving this to me? This is too precious..."
"Of course it's true. It's your birthday gift. You will be eighteen years old tomorrow and you will be a big boy." Qin Hao patted his shoulder and said with emotion.
Qiao Erqiang scratched his head honestly, then got on his bicycle and took a spin excitedly.
"Brother Hao, this car is awesome. It takes so little effort to stare at it, but it's just too expensive..."
"Okay, stop being pretentious. You've helped me earn a lot of money over the years. It's just a bicycle. It's nothing. Let's go and find a place for us to celebrate."
"well."
Along the way, Qiao Erqiang rode a brand new Phoenix bicycle, enjoying the envious looks of passers-by on the street, and unconsciously raised his chest and raised his head.
However, just as he passed an intersection, a figure suddenly jumped out.
Qiao Erqiang didn't pay attention and almost knocked the person down. He was so frightened that he quickly leaned to the side. The other person was also startled and fell to the ground.
"Comrade, are you okay? I'm sorry, I was riding too fast just now." Qiao Erqiang hurried forward to help the person up, but found that the person who fell to the ground was a woman.
Not only is she a woman, but she is also a very beautiful woman, and she is holding a child in her arms.
The moment the woman raised her head, Qiao Erqiang was stunned. The woman's pretty face was full of concern for her child. Under the setting sun, her whole body exuded the brilliance of motherhood.
When Qin Hao saw the woman's face clearly, his face looked a little strange. Isn't this Ma Suqin?
I originally thought that he had changed Qiao Erqiang's life trajectory, and Qiao Erqiang would have no contact with Ma Suqin. Who would have thought that they would meet again.
Could it be that this is fate?
"It's okay, I don't blame you." Ma Suqin frowned, hugging the child and trying to get up from the ground, but felt a sharp pain in her elbow.
Qiao Erqiang felt very sorry when he saw this, so he said to Ma Suqin: "It's better to go to the hospital for a check-up. I'll take you there on my bike."
Ma Suqin looked at her pale son in her arms, hesitated and nodded: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you should." Qiao Erqiang helped the bicycle up, and suddenly realized that Qin Hao was still beside him, so he said sheepishly.
"Brother Hao, why don't you go to the hotel first, and I'll take them to the hospital and be back in a moment."
Qin Hao sighed secretly, what a bad fate this boy has.
"Forget it, let's go together, it's only a few steps anyway."
Along the way, Ma Suqin held her son with one hand and grabbed Qiao Erqiang's clothes with the other hand, looking anxious. Qiao Erqiang did not forget to glance back while riding the bike. When Ma Suqin looked at him,
He immediately turned around and looked guilty, making Qin Hao shake his head.
Finally arriving at the hospital, Ma Suqin rushed to the pediatric department without stopping until the nurse connected her son with an infusion needle. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade, let me check on your injury."
Ma Suqin shook her head repeatedly: "No, it's just a skin injury. Thank you for sending me to the hospital."
"It's better to take a look, and your wound needs to be treated, otherwise it will leave scars."
Ma Suqin frowned when she heard that she wanted to leave a scar. What woman didn't love beauty, but the little money she had was only enough to treat her son. Just when she was about to refuse, Qiao Erqiang had already gotten up to register.
Qin Hao looked at Ma Suqin and had to admit that this woman had a unique charm of a mature woman. Although she was dressed in simple clothes, she could not hide her graceful figure.
Such a woman has a natural attraction for Qiao Erqiang, who has just begun to fall in love.
Ma Suqin seemed to be aware of Qin Hao's gaze and nodded to him cautiously.
Qin Hao smiled back, which was regarded as a formal greeting.
Qin Hao had some sympathy for Ma Suqin. Ma Suqin's husband was a bad gambler. Not only did he not work, he often abused her and forced her to give him money to gamble. In comparison, Qiao Zuwang didn't seem so scumbag.
After a while, Qiao Erqiang came back and wanted to take Ma Suqin to the consulting room. Ma Suqin was a little hesitant, but Qiao Erqiang made Ma Suqin waver because he had spent all the money and could not refund it.
"I'll look after the child for you, go ahead."
"Thank you then."
Seeing Ma Suqin accept his kindness, Qiao Erqiang had a childish smile on his face.
After the doctor's diagnosis, Ma Suqin only suffered a soft tissue contusion and no injuries to her muscles and bones. She was given a simple wound cleaning and disinfection, and it was considered finished.
"Thank you. By the way, I don't know what your name is yet. My name is Ma Suqin and I work in the machinery processing factory." Ma Suqin smiled at Qiao Erqiang calmly.
Qiao Erqiang was stunned and awkwardly introduced himself: "My name is Qiao Erqiang, and I work in an electrical appliance factory."
"Electrical appliance factory? That's a good company. You're so young, have you just started working?" Ma Suqin looked at Qiao Erqiang for a while.
"Well, I just graduated from technical secondary school and am working as a technician in an electrical appliance factory." Qiao Erqiang answered in a straight-forward manner.
"Technical secondary school student? Technician? So you are so good."
Ma Suqin's casual compliment made Qiao Erqiang feel sweeter than eating honey, and at the same time a little shy.
"Actually, it's nothing. Brother Hao and my eldest brother are the best. They are both college students. One was admitted to Jinling University and the other was admitted to Fudan University."
Ma Suqin was very surprised when she heard this. College students are so valuable these days. They are all the pride of heaven.
"It is indeed very powerful, but you are also very powerful, so there is no need to underestimate yourself."
Qiao Erqiang smiled like a 200-pound fat man, and all he could think about was: She is praising me.
Qin Hao helped look after the child for a while, and finally waited until Qiao Erqiang and Ma Suqin came back. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh, what a damn fate.
"Let's go, don't be silly, the restaurant will be closed soon."
"well."
In the hotel, Qin Hao slapped Qiao Erqiang angrily: "You are sitting here, but your soul is still in the hospital, right?"
Qiao Erqiang blushed: "Brother Hao, what are you talking about? I don't have it."
Qin Hao shook his head and said seriously: "Have you ever thought about a question?"
Qiao Erqiang looked at Qin Hao blankly.
"She is more than ten years older than you, has a child, and a husband."
Qin Hao's words instantly made Qiao Erqiang's heart, which was originally filled with spring, experience the cold winter.
"Erqiang, tell me honestly, have you ever been in love?" Qin Hao asked in a low voice.
Qiao Erqiang almost fell off his chair without losing his balance, and his face was so red that he couldn't even look at it.
Yes, Qin Hao already knows the answer without him having to answer.
"Brother Hao, you...I..." Qiao Erqiang was already a little incoherent.
Qin Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, look at your potential, don't worry, I won't tell your mother."
Qiao Erqiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Qin Hao's next words made his heart suddenly hang.
"However, you will be eighteen years old after your birthday. Your mother will definitely consider your life-long events. What are you going to do then?"
In fact, Wei Shuying is already looking for a candidate for Qiao Erqiang.
Qiao Erqiang himself is good-looking and honest. He is still a technical secondary school student and has worked as a technician in an electrical appliance factory. The combination of these conditions gives Qiao Erqiang an advantage in the marriage market. Someone has long wanted to introduce him to a partner.
Already.
It's just that Wei Shuying always felt that Qiao Erqiang was still too young and never agreed. Now that her son is about to turn eighteen, it's time to fall in love.
