"What are you thinking about? Can Xiao Song agree? It's not like he doesn't have a home in Beijing, so why would he come to live with us?"
Sun Huifang expressed strong opposition, and her husband was looking for trouble again. The touching emotions just now were washed away into a mess.
"He has a family, but there are no adults at home! Why don't we take care of him together? What's more, he can also help our daughter with her homework. It's the best of both worlds."
The more Qiao thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was perfect.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to protect that boy and keep it with your daughter, for fear that other girls will take notice of you."
Sun Huifang saw through Qiao Xiangqian's little thoughts at a glance.
"Can you just tell me that this is okay? I think there is no problem at all. What's more, I promised Brother Song to help him take care of the children. We have already come to Beijing. Taking care of the children is not something we should take for granted."
Qiao slapped his thigh forward, feeling that the matter was settled. As for whether Song Yishan would agree, he still needed to think carefully.
If such a good young man was snatched away by another girl on the way, Qiao Qianqian would regret patting his swollen thigh.
"How can I get Xiao Song to agree? I think this kid is a bit stubborn, so I tell him directly, I'm afraid he won't agree."
Qiao Xiangqian paced back and forth in the room, as if thinking about some important event. This was related to his daughter's future happiness, and he, an old father, had to consider it.
"There is really nothing I can do to you. I went to cook for the children. You can think about it yourself! Don't involve me in this matter. If the children complain, you can bear it alone."
Sun Huifang got up and went to the kitchen to cook, leaving her husband alone in the room thinking.
"Yes!"
Joe shook his head forward and came up with a good idea.
While eating.
Qiao Qianqian kept asking Song Yishan to eat more vegetables and praised him so much that he didn't know why.
"Yishan, uncle has seen so many boys, and you are the best. You are good-looking, have a good personality, and study well. You can't find any faults."
Qiao Xiangqian gave Song Yishan a large piece of beef with soy sauce. Qiao Jinling on the side was confused and asked curiously: "Dad, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so attentive to Song Yishan?"
"What does it mean to be diligent? Isn't it normal for someone to come here to help you with your homework? Dad asks him to eat more vegetables?"
With a flattering smile on his face, Qiao Qianqian piled the plates in front of Song Yishan like a hill.
"Uncle, these dishes are enough. If you add too much, I won't be able to eat it."
Song Yishan quickly declined, and the sudden concern made him a little overwhelmed. Although Qiao Xiangqiang had been very kind to him in the past, today's kindness was always a little strange.
Sun Huifang on the side saw everything, smiled and said nothing, and kept her head down while eating.
"Yishan, my uncle has just arrived in Beijing. He is not familiar with many things here, especially living in this courtyard house. Let me tell you, we must be noticed by thieves."
Qiao Qianqian deliberately lowered his voice to sound mysterious.
"Pfft!"
Sun Huifang couldn't hold it back and almost spit out the rice. Her husband would say anything just to keep Song Yishan at home.
"Dad, our family is being targeted by thieves. It's really scary. I slept very well last night."
Qiao Jinling looked shocked. It was indeed unsafe to live in a yard like this. There were walls on all sides. It would be normal for someone to climb in.
"What do you know? You sleep like a little pig. Even if a thief comes in and moves you away, you won't know."
Qiao stepped forward and rolled his eyes at his daughter. Sometimes this girl is very smart, and sometimes she is terribly stupid.
"Do you need to go to the police station to report it? I think the security in Beijing is pretty good."
Song Yishan put down his chopsticks with a serious look on his face.
"You live in a building and don't understand the dangers of being hospitalized. There are people who jump up in the middle of the night to rob and kill. Oh, it's really worrying. I am the only man in the family. I also go to Hainan for business trips from time to time, leaving the mother and daughter behind.
It’s really unsettling.”
Joe sighed forward, and what he said was not a lie at all. He needed to run in both directions, and he would indeed worry about him when he was not at home.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
Song Yishan also heard something, so he just pointed it out directly.
"Uncle wants you to move here and live with us. Firstly, we can take care of each other, and secondly, you can help Lingling with her homework."
As soon as Qiao Xiangqian said these words, both Qiao Jinling and Song Yishan were shocked.
"This...uncle...isn't appropriate..."
Song Yishan, who has always been steady and calm, actually stuttered.
He never expected that Qiao Xiang proposed such a solution.
"There's nothing inappropriate. I promised your father to take good care of you, and this yard is big enough. When you move here, you usually let your aunt cook for you. When you go to high school, you need to supplement your nutrition. I usually go on business trips, and you can do it too.
Help me take care of them."
Qiao went forward and broke it open, crushed it into pieces, and told Song Yishan carefully.
"It's better... no need. I'm used to living alone these years."
Song Yishan hesitated for a long time, but still refused. He glanced at Qiao Jinling secretly, but could not see any change in expression on her face.
Although Qiao Jinling was also shocked by her father's proposal, she didn't want Song Yishan to move here. It would be awkward for the two of them to live together day and night. It would be better to be as free as they are now.
But when Song Yishan really refused, her heart still sank involuntarily.
Sure enough, Song Yishan didn't want to see himself every day.
Qiao Xiangqian wanted to say something more, but Sun Huifang stopped her with her eyes.
"Yishan, eat more vegetables. Your uncle just said it casually. He can't take it seriously. Don't take it to heart."
Sun Huifang quickly ended this awkward conversation. Qiao Xiangqian was also a little discouraged. He originally thought that Song Yishan would definitely agree to this.
Unexpectedly, he refused.
There is no way.
The rest of the meal was a bit awkward, no one wanted to talk, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
During the afternoon study session, Qiao Jinling didn't speak, and there was no chatter in the morning.
She shouldn't be angry!
Song Yishan has always been like this, a loner, with his own ideas, and will not be easily changed by others' words.
Doesn't she like Song Yishan like this?
"Song Yishan, don't take it to heart. It's all nonsense from my father. You can do whatever you want. If you are willing to come, our whole family welcomes you. If you don't want to come, our whole family also welcomes you. Don't do it.
Things I don’t want to do.”
Qiao Jinling had a smile on her lips and arched her eyebrows. Since this was what she liked about Song Yishan, let her protect him.
