"I have no reason to refuse. In this city, the most important thing is to settle down first. I worked as a policeman before, but I have problems with my legs and feet. No matter how well I recover, I probably won't be able to go back. Being a security guard is good and useful.
The place of martial arts.”
Gu Xihe confessed his feelings in front of Qiao Qianqian. He was an open-minded person and would bear his own responsibility for things he determined.
He wanted to talk to Qiao Xiangqian personally about this matter, instead of hiding behind Qiao Jinfeng, shrinking back and letting her speak alone.
Everyone at the table looked at Gu Xihe. Qiao Jinling naturally understood everything, so he was not surprised by the meal.
She has a new understanding of men's responsibilities, protecting women from wind and rain, working hand in hand, not caring about momentary gains and losses, not being self-willed, not belittling, and neither being humble nor arrogant.
"Before you agree, I'd better call you Brother Qiao. The relationship between Jinfeng and I has just started. I know that I am nearly ten years older than him and my social status does not match him, but I feel sorry for this girl and I want her to live a happy life."
I don't feel safe leaving her to anyone else, so I ask you to leave her to me, and I will definitely treat her well."
Gu Xihe tightened his grip on his wine glass. He didn't know why Qiao Qianqian looked at him. For a long time, the two of them had known each other as brothers. Suddenly, their seniority changed. Qiao Qianqian was a little confused.
"I know that you regard Jinfeng as your biological daughter, so I must get your consent for this matter. If you bless us, then I will be very grateful. If you don't bless us, then I will work hard until you agree.
That day.”
Gu Xihe glanced at Qiao Jinfeng, and from the moment he said they were together, he decided to hold her hand and go on firmly.
If you don't say it, it's enough. If you say it, it's a lifelong commitment.
"Well, Xiao Gu, you are a good person. I have known you since we were in Beiheyan Village. This time in Anqing City, you are like our family member. I have never treated you as an outsider."
Qiao Qianqian gulped a little. What happened was beyond his expectation, but he was not completely indifferent. Sun Huifang was whispering in his ears every night, and he could already predict this day.
As for the issues mentioned by Gu Xihe, in Qiao Xiangqian's opinion, they are not true at all.
Going forward more than ten years, who is not a poor patcher, who can only have enough to eat for a few years?
Age is not a problem. Gu Xihe's physique is stronger than that of a young man. He just wants Qiao Jinfeng to be happier. This girl is thoughtful and tenacious. She was not born in a good family, but she has the energy to grow desperately.
.
"I have no objection. As long as you two can be together well, I will bless you. Come on, after drinking this glass of wine, let's change our names. I am a generation higher than you. How can this be good?"
Qiao Qianqian couldn't help but laugh. They were originally calling each other brothers, but they turned out to be seniors.
Gu Xihe's eyes were full of gratitude, and the two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp, as if they were bound by blood.
"Third uncle!"
"Why!"
"Third aunt!"
"Why!"
Sun Huifang agreed with tears in her eyes. The little girl she had taken care of since she was a child, and whom she had entrusted to her husband, now had support and was no longer alone. She was really happy, sniffing her nose, and never drank.
I drank three glasses in a row.
"Jinfeng, Third Aunt is happy for you. You are different from Lingling. She says everything, but you don't say anything. You are like a little grown-up. You are always so well-behaved and don't cause trouble to grown-ups. I think
I feel bad for you. I know how difficult it has been for you along the way. In the heart of the third aunt, you are just my daughter. When you get married, I will definitely let you get married in a glorious way."
Sun Huifang gently stroked the back of Qiao Jinfeng's hand. She was a little drunk and shed tears, but she was happy in her heart.
The stronger a person's heart is, the more she longs for sweetness. A little bit of sweetness is enough to make her forget the bitterness of life.
"Thank you third aunt, thank you third uncle. Without you, I would never be like what I am now. I don't know where I am struggling. In my heart, you are my biological parents. I will be filial to you like my biological daughter."
, I will treat Lingling like my own sister, I won’t take any of your money, I will leave it all to Lingling.”
Qiao Jinfeng has never thought of coveting the property of Qiao Xiangqian and Sun Huifang. Since she was able to make money, she has never asked for a penny.
She has hands, feet, and a brain. She never cares about things that don't belong to her, nor does she bother to care about them.
"Now do we have to clink glasses? Happy ending, let's celebrate!"
As an outsider, Ji Cheng was also a little moved. There were six people sitting on the big round table. Regardless of whether they were related by blood or not, they got along harmoniously and understood each other. They were warmer than a family.
"Yes! Let's cheer! Live a happy life for everyone!"
Joe stood up and raised his glass to drink. The six wine glasses touched together and made a crisp sound.
Who says a family must be related by blood?
After Qiao Xiangxiu learned the news, she hurried over. She hadn't appeared for a long time. As long as she was called out, she would either be busy cooking for Chen Guoqiang or tutoring Chen Qingxue in her studies.
Seeing their second aunt again, Qiao Jinfeng and Qiao Jinling were both shocked. Is this still the same dashing woman as before?
With a haggard look on his face, he is in his 40s, but looks like he is 60 years old. His body is no longer stretched, his shoulders are shrunk, and he looks much shorter, like a soaked wool coat, with his chest covered and his back hunched.
He stood with his bones broken, like a monkey whose spirit had been drained away.
Qiao Jinling was surprised. Her thoughts suddenly returned to the time when she came to Beijing to attend a poetry conference. Chen Guoqiang was riding a sidecar three-wheeler. She and Qiao Xiangxiu were sitting in the sidecar, crossing Chang'an Street, and the wind blew on their faces.
The feeling seems to be still there, but it has lost its charm of the past.
It turns out that whether a woman is marrying the right person can be determined by looking at her face.
"Jinfeng, my second aunt knows that Guxihe is a nice person, but a woman's marriage is a big deal. It is her second reincarnation, so she must be cautious. Don't be like me..."
Qiao Xiangxiu sighed and tried to persuade Qiao Jinfeng, but she felt a heart-breaking desolation, cold to the depths of her soul. The relationship between her and Chen Guoqiang seemed to have disappeared in that breath, and the ferocious ending was no longer possible.
Can't hide it.
"Xiang Xiu, why don't you divorce him? Look at how courageous you were before. You dared to come to Beijing from Anqing alone and fought hard. Why are you so cowardly now that you have everything?"
Sun Huifang hated the fact that iron could not become steel, and felt helpless and regretful. She also felt distressed. As a woman, she had too much helplessness.
"I've already been divorced once, do I need to get divorced a second time? I don't want Xiaoxue to be without a father."
Qiao Xiangxiu once had a marriage, and they divorced happily because they had no children. Now that they have weaknesses, they want to compromise.
