The fact that Qiao Qianqian wanted to come back caused a huge sensation in the Qiao family. In Yang Guixiang's eyes, her son just won the top prize, and there was no big difference between returning home in high honours.
Yang Guixiang walked around excitedly. In her mind, although Qiao Xiangxiu was prosperous in Beijing, he was not as secure as his son with the money he earned.
In Beiheyan Village, she told everyone she met that her third son was coming back and had become a wealthy boss, which made old men and women very envious and felt that there was smoke rising from the ancestral graves of Lao Qiao's family.
"Let me just say that at that time, the Qiao family's ancestral tomb was buried under the two big willow trees. It had good wind and water. You all said that the feng shui was not good, so I thought it was the best place. There was a river in front, wind and water, and there was wind and water in the back.
Mountain, backed by mountains. Did I say that?"
Yang Guixiang crossed her legs with a mysterious look on her face. The old men and women watching nodded.
Qiao Jinling looked at her grandma's look and found it interesting. People who have lived a hard life always have no confidence in the sudden arrival of wealth. They have to find some strange things to prove that the wealth they have obtained is God-given, and
It is not the result of one's own efforts.
It's strange to say that on the one hand, people praise hard work and think that money earned by being down-to-earth is the most practical, but they look down on the things gained by hard work. Whether it is academic performance or money earned, it seems that when they admit hard work, they admit that they are too good.
fool.
Yang Guixiang even put on her new coat and went to the train station to pick up her son, but Qiao Xiangqian's appearance surprised everyone!
He was dressed plainly, as if he had returned from working in other places.
"San'er, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were a big boss outside? Why did you come back dressed like this? You're not as well-dressed as the old man in our village."
Yang Guixiang trembled, feeling that her old face was almost lost. She had said her arrogant words. How could she have the nerve to take her son back to the village now?
"Mom, I haven't seen my son for so long, and you're just looking at the clothes I'm wearing?"
Qiao Jinling could tell at a glance that although her father was dressed in shabby clothes, his mental state was completely different from before.
"San'er, what's wrong with what you're saying? It's the same as what the people on the TV say, don't be awkward."
Although Yang Guixiang was disappointed in her heart, she was still happy to see her son back.
"Mom, I speak Mandarin. Everyone outside speaks Mandarin. I can't change it for a while."
Qiao Qianqian tried to switch between the two languages. Qiao Jinling completely understood this feeling. After staying outside for a long time, if you still speak Mandarin when you return to your hometown, others will say you are pretending. Only
Only then did I realize that it was completely normal for me to suddenly be unable to turn around the language.
"Mom, let's go home first! You must be tired after sitting on the train for so long."
Sun Huifang glanced at Qiao Xiangqian. She could not hide the tiredness in her husband's eyebrows, which was full of heartache.
After returning home, Yang Guixiang quickly handed Qiao Qianqian some food. She knew that her son must be hungry for the food at home.
"Mom, I'm going to wash my hands and eat when I get back."
"My son is really picky. He doesn't wash his hands or eat. There are so many rules outside."
Yang Guixiang complained, but her expression was proud. Her son was really different from before. He was a good man with a frown and droopy eyes, but he was full of energy from the inside out.
"Lingling, come and let daddy give you a hug."
Qiao stepped forward and finished washing her hands, then hugged Qiao Jinling and wanted to give her a hug, but found that she could no longer hold her.
"Dad, I'm almost in fourth grade. It's normal that you can't hold me."
Qiao Jinling touched her father's beard. She was a little excited to see him again after not seeing him for so long.
"Let's eat first! Don't hug Lingling."
Sun Huifang invited her husband to come over for dinner.
"Okay, let's eat together. There are so many people and it's so lively. When I was in Hainan, I was always craving for food at home. No matter how good the food outside is, it's not as delicious as the food at home."
Qiao stepped forward and grabbed a big steamed bun and took a big bite. That was the familiar smell of wheat.
"San'er, tell the truth to your mother, are you in trouble outside? When you said on the phone how much money you made, were you lying just to reassure us?"
Yang Guixiang looked at her son who was devouring food and dressed in simple clothes. She really couldn't relate to those wealthy bosses.
Those leading households in the village have a little bit of money in their hands, and with their arrogant and arrogant attitude, they wish they could wear all their family wealth on them. If their son made a lot of money outside, why would he look like this?
"Mom, you don't understand. People in the south don't show off their wealth or appearance, for fear of letting others know that they are rich. Brother, here we call it crying for poverty."
Qiao took a chopstick forward and picked up the cabbage stewed with vermicelli. It was still a big stew and she enjoyed it.
"It's really strange. Isn't it just for showing off that you make money? How can you hide it? It's really the same everywhere. Tell your mother how much money you make?"
Yang Guixiang was mysterious and kept her voice low, but actually everyone in the room could hear what she said.
"Mom, it's hard to say. It has to be called an asset. How much the assets are worth, there is actually not much circulating capital."
Qiao Xiangqian tried to explain clearly to Yang Guixiang.
"Forget it, the honest third child will also have sex with my mother. I don't understand what assets and turnover are. Anyway, I tell you, if you go to buy a decent outfit for the Chinese New Year this year, you must not wear this to the village.
, otherwise my old face will be completely lost."
Yang Guixiang didn't seem to care about the new terms that Qiao Xiangqian brought back, he only cared about whether they could bring him face.
"Don't worry, mother, I have arranged everything."
After Qiao Qianqian finished speaking, he ate silently and stopped talking.
After finishing the meal, Yang Guixiang left. Before leaving, she told Qiao Qianqian to dress decently before returning to the village. At the same time, she was very glad that she did not organize the villagers to play gongs and drums to pick up the returnees at the train station.
son.
"I'm outside and everything is fine. I just miss you so much. It's not easy to come back. Otherwise, you can go to Hainan with me!"
Qiao went forward and sat on his sofa. No matter how wonderful the outside world was, it was not as comfortable as staying at home.
"What are you talking about? The leather shoe factory is opening just right now, and several styles are selling well. What will happen to the leather shoe factory if I leave? And Jinfeng, she is already in her first year of high school and has no one to take care of her. What should she do?
"
Sun Huifang sat next to Qiao Xiangqian. Although she also wanted to accompany her husband, there were many things at home that needed to be taken care of, and she really couldn't rest assured.
"By the way, the amulet my mother gave me is really useful. I made a lot of money with this amulet."
Qiao went forward and took out the amulet from his pocket and handed it to Sun Huifang.
"Is it true or false, so effective? Isn't it all feudal superstition? How can it be so accurate?"
Sun Huifang looked back and forth at the amulet, but there was nothing different about it.
"The amulet is nothing, the key is that the paper inside works."
Qiao Xiangqiang's words reminded Qiao Jinling of the note she stuffed into the amulet when her father left without thinking much about it, but she didn't expect it to work!
