"Brother Niu, can you come over to our house for dinner today?"
During the summer vacation, on an ordinary day, Sanli came to Niuye's house and invited Niuye to Qiao's house for dinner.
"Hey, Sanli, today is a special day. Does anyone in your family have a birthday? I'm not even prepared."
Although he was quite familiar with the children of the Qiao family, Niu Ye really had never been to the Qiao family for dinner, which was quite unexpected, so he couldn't help but tease him.
"Brother Niu, there are no birthdays in our family. My admission notice to the medical school came out, and my eldest brother thought that he would take this opportunity to celebrate a little at home, so he asked me to call you."
Qiao Sanli's grades were already good, and Niu Ye even helped with tutoring for more than half a year.
Niu Ye expected that Sanli would be admitted to the medical school and major in pharmacy as expected.
But when I actually heard that Sanli was admitted, I was still surprised.
This is indeed worth celebrating. After passing the technical secondary school, I booked a good job.
It’s not strange for ordinary people to just set up a banquet, but the Qiao family is different after all.
Qiao Yicheng didn't even set up a table when he was admitted to college, not to mention that Sanli was just a technical secondary school.
If I want to do something good today and celebrate it, there is a high probability that Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang will pay for the food.
"Okay, I will definitely participate in such a good thing. I will go there when I am ready."
After Sanli returned, Niuye searched at home to see if there were any gifts.
For your first formal invitation, you should be more formal and don't go empty-handed.
Bringing two bottles of wine is enough to make Qiao Zuwang happy, and he also brings a cigarette to Qiao Zuwang.
I also found some fruits that Niu Ma had just bought. Niu Ye divided out a portion, including bananas and apples, which were enough.
"Niu Ye, you brought so many things, who are you going to give as gifts?"
Niu Ye was rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home. Of course Niu's mother noticed such a big movement.
"I'm going to give gifts to Lao Qiao's family."
"Qiao Zuwang, what gift are you giving him?"
Although Qiao Zuwang lived a very free and unrestrained life, people in the courtyard really looked down upon such a person who did not care about his family.
"I didn't give this gift because of Qiao Zuwang's face, but because of the Qiao family's children. Didn't Sanli get admitted to a technical secondary school? If you invite me over for dinner, I will bring something."
"Then just bring some fruits. Why don't you bring some cigarettes and alcohol to Qiao Zuwang? What's the use of trying to please him!"
"Mom, it's been so long and you still haven't discovered who the best girl here is?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Sanli."
Although Sanli is not particularly beautiful, her personality and temperament are outstanding in Shamao Alley.
Diligent, independent, quiet, and gentle, she is completely different from the other girls who were raised by stingy people here in Shamao Lane.
"Niu Ye, are you saying that you have a crush on Sanli?"
"Um."
"Sanli is okay, but Qiao Zuwang is not an easy person to get along with."
Niu Ye thought for a while, then nodded and said.
"Mom, don't worry, Qiao Yicheng is here. Qiao Zuwang is a man who can't rise to the top of the world."
"Son, have you two already started talking?"
"How is that possible? Some time ago, she was just a junior high school student."
"Then you haven't even written your horoscope yet."
The joy on Mother Niu's face was gone.
"It's going to be painted soon. Mom, I'll tell you about it later. I have to go there first."
"You go over there."
The cow mother waved her hand and said.
Niu Ye went out, turned, turned, and turned again, and finally arrived at Qiao's house.
Open the door and come in, the Qiao family. The first person to welcome Niu Ye is the Qiao family's pet cat, Little Cotton.
"Brother Niu Ye (牛野, Brother Niu)"
After saying hello, Niu Ye followed the Qiao brothers and sisters into the house.
Then I discovered the Qiao family, which was very complete today, except for Qiao Qiqi, who was all here.
An Eight Immortals table is placed in the middle of the hall. On top of the main seat, Qiao Zuwang, the big horse with a golden sword, is sitting.
When Niu Ye came in and said hello, he stared at the things in Niu Ye's hands.
"Uncle Qiao, I brought you two bottles of wine, cigarettes, and some fruit."
"You kid, just come here. Do you have anything else to bring?"
As Qiao Zuwang said this, he snatched the tobacco and wine from Niu Ye's hand.
"Come here for dinner, why don't you come home empty-handed?"
When Niu Ye said something polite, Qiao Zuwang started looking at him with cigarettes and wine.
"Wuliangye, it's such a good wine, take your dad's."
"Yes, he didn't drink either, so I brought it to you."
"If your dad doesn't drink it, I'll drink it. Don't let it go to waste. You can bring it all to me in the future."
Qiao Zuwang was quite thick-skinned, so Niu Ye was polite.
Qiao Zuwang felt that drinking Niujia's wine helped Niuyejia lighten his burden.
"Second Qiang, go to the kitchen and see if the soup is ready. If the soup is ready, we will start dinner."
At this time, Qiao Yicheng couldn't help it anymore and interrupted to stop Qiao Zuwang from continuing his embarrassing thoughts.
"OK OK."
After Qiao Erqiang brought another portion of pork rib soup from the kitchen, the Eight Immortals table was also filled to the brim, and all the dishes were served.
"Come and eat."
Qiao Yicheng said.
Qiao Yicheng called for dinner, which was about the same. It can be seen who in the Qiao family has the most say.
Qiao Zuwang was sitting at the main seat, and opposite him were Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei.
Sitting on the right was Qiao Yicheng, and Niu Ye followed Qiao Erqiang and sat on Qiao Zuwang's left.
"Here, pick it up. First of all, congratulations. Our Sanli has been admitted to a technical secondary school."
The first person to pick up the cup and speak was Qiao Yicheng. Qiao Zuwang's position as the head of the family was really in danger.
When eating at Qiao's house, only Qiao Zuwang drank, and everyone else drank soda.
Because Qiao Zuwang smoked, drank, and got into trouble, Qiao Yicheng hated these three things deeply.
"Niu Ye, welcome to our home. I remember you are also studying medicine, right?"
At this time, it was Qiao Zuwang's turn to speak.
"Yes, Uncle Qiao, I went to medical school."
"Our family, Sanli, is also studying medicine. You will be considered colleagues in the future. Maybe you will all work in the same unit in the future."
There is no need for Qiao Zuwang to say that this was Niu Ye's plan.
In order that the two of them could go to and from get off work together in the future, Niu Yecai suggested that Sanli go to a medical school to study pharmacy.
"I, Qiao Zuwang, although I don't have much ability and am not as good at making money as your father, I am still very good at raising children. Our family has a college student, and now a technical secondary school student. I also found a job for the second strong student.
A job in a state-owned factory. When he gets to Simei, I can still find him a job."
Dining at Qiao's house, I listened to Qiao Zuwang bragging about himself. The children of Qiao's family ignored Qiao Zuwang, and Niu Ye still wanted to praise him.
