When Qiao Erqiang came back from buying the steamed buns, Niu Ye, Er Qiang, and Sanli finished eating and gave Er Qiang a rough explanation of how to make the steamed buns.
As for practice, just wait until Qiao Erqiang returns to his home and try again when he has the opportunity.
After Qiao Simei was adopted by the Shen family, Qiao Zuwang still gained something.
The Shen family not only brought many gifts to Qiao Zuwang, but also paid Qiao Zuwang alimony for Qiao Simei.
This is a nice way of saying it, but a bad way of saying it is that this money is money from selling children, which is correct.
The Qiao family is much better off now, and with one less child, there is one less expense.
I already have the conditions, occasionally buy a piece of fat meat and make some meat oil.
The oil residue is very good for making snacks for children, cooking, and making steamed buns.
"Uncle Qiao, go take a shower again!"
Niu Ye greeted Qiao Zuwang enthusiastically as he took toiletries and went to take a bath in the bathhouse outside.
Qiao Yicheng could treat Qiao Zuwang coldly, but Niu Ye was different and still had to have a good relationship with Qiao Zuwang.
Maybe he is his future father-in-law. It would be inappropriate if the relationship becomes tense.
"Wash, take a bath and feel comfortable."
People who can enjoy themselves will enjoy themselves at any time.
Ever since Qiao Zuwang played mahjong and was reported by Qiao Yicheng, he did not dare to play mahjong again.
But Qiao Zuwang would not let himself be without entertainment. After he stopped playing mahjong, he became obsessed with bathing.
Basically every day I have to go to the bathhouse on the street, take a dip, have my feet trimmed, and have my back rubbed.
After washing, I went to the bathhouse, had a pot of tea, chatted with people, and went to bed when I felt sleepy. It was like living in the bathhouse.
"Uncle Qiao, take a good bath when you go. Don't dare to listen to other people's deceptions and do business with others. I've heard that recently, many people have been deceived by relatives and friends who have learned to do business."
"You little brat, you are talking nonsense. Are your Uncle Qiao someone who can be deceived? Do you think your Uncle Qiao, the nickname of Qiao Jingshazi, is just a wasted reputation?"
Just because of Qiao Zuwang's self-confidence, if others didn't lie to him, they would be sorry for him. Just because he was doing seafood business, he missed the train for a day, so he sent Qiao Zuwang away.
After saying that, Qiao Zuwang went to the bathhouse.
Niu Ye couldn't persuade him, so he didn't persuade him any more. It was hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words.
Qiao Zuwang didn't have much wealth, so he was worthy of being deceived by others, including the alimony given by the Shen family.
The only thing left is a pair of jade bracelets left by Qiao Yicheng and their mother Wei Shuying.
Left behind by her dead mother, this pair of jade bracelets is quite commemorative.
But because the bracelet had a bad origin, Qi Zhiqiang's mother gave it to Wei Shuying when Wei Shuying and Qi Zhiqiang were engaged.
Therefore, the origin of this pair of jade bracelets is hard to say, and it is not something that is unmemorable to the children of the Qiao family.
Even if the bracelet is stolen by someone, it is not a special pity.
Seeing the bracelet reminds people of that past, and it would be better to leave it alone and feel at ease.
"Come over and take a look. Qiao Zuwang and his brother-in-law are having a quarrel."
Niu Yedui reminded Qiao Zuwang that it would only be a week.
I was at home on the weekend, and I heard Aunt Wu in the courtyard calling people to come to Qiao's house to watch the fun.
"Qiao Zuwang, how could you sell the bracelet left by Shuying?"
When Niu Ye arrived at Qiao's house, he saw the good-tempered Qi Zhiqiang angrily said to Qiao Zuwang.
"Qi Zhiqiang, it's none of your business whether I can sell the bracelet or not. Although your Qi family gave the item to Shuying, Shuying brought it to the Qiao family, so the bracelet belongs to the Qiao family."
"Qiao Zuwang, I didn't say that the things don't belong to your Qiao family, but didn't I agree that these pair of bracelets should be left to my two daughters, one for each of them?"
Qi Zhiqiang was also really angry. Even Qiao Simei was sent away. Where did he get the bracelets and passed them to each of his daughters?
"Your family is not a wealthy family, and the bracelet is not a good thing. How can you pass it on to your daughter? If you can sell it for a hundred yuan, it will be good."
Qiao Zuwang also had a way of talking hard and playing rogue. Although he was very angry when he was tricked by his friends, he certainly did not dare to reveal it in front of Qiao Zhiqiang. He wanted to do business but was tricked.
Although Niu Ye didn't see anything, he was still willing to give Qiao Zuwang a hundred yuan after tricking Qiao Zuwang. He thought the bracelet was of good quality.
Of course, the quarrel between the two people will not lead to anything, after there are too many people watching the excitement.
With a word of advice from the left and a word of advice from the right, Qi Zhiqiang stopped arguing with Qiao Zuwang.
In the end, this matter was settled. It was of course impossible for Qiao Zuwang to redeem the bracelet.
…
"Brother Niu Ye, I can't go to your house recently. My second aunt has sent my brother Qiqi back. Sanli and I have to go back to our house early to take care of my brother."
A few days later, Qiao Erqiang met Niu Ye and said, "There are so many accidents in the Qiao family, one after another."
"It doesn't matter. After school is over tomorrow, I will come to your house to see Qiqi."
One day after school, Niu Ye came to Qiao's house with a bag of peach cakes and two bottles of canned food.
"Qiao Yicheng, where is your Qiao Qiqi?"
Upon entering Qiao's house, Niu Ye first asked Qiao Yicheng, who was cooking in the small kitchen he had built.
"I'm lying in the house."
"I heard he wasn't feeling well, so I came over to check on him."
After just telling Qiao Yicheng, Niu Ye entered the main room of the Qiao family. He had been here several times and Niu Ye was familiar with the Qiao family.
"Qiqi, call me sister."
There was no one in the main room, and the door of the back room where the Qiao children lived was open. After Niu Ye came in, he saw Sanli playing with Qiao Qiqi, who was lying on a camp bed.
"Brother Niu (Brother Niu Ye), you are here."
Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Sanli said hello to Niu Ye.
"Well, what happened to Qiqi?"
Niuye handed the peach cake and canned food to Sanli and asked.
"The second aunt said that Qiqi has polio and may become a lame in the future."
Sanli said with a worried look on her face.
"Let me take a look first."
Although Niu Ye knew that Qiao Qiqi's polio was misdiagnosed.
But after all, Qiao Qiqi also went to a regular children's hospital for treatment.
The doctor cannot be regarded as a quack, Qiao Qiqi was misdiagnosed.
Qiao Qiqi's case is quite typical. Knowing that there was nothing wrong with Qiao Qiqi, Niu Ye, who read medical books all day long, was inevitably a little happy when he saw it.
Once you have the conclusion, it is not difficult to find the problem again.
Qiao Qiqi's good leg is just a little longer than her bad leg. She has hip bursitis, which is not a big problem.
Wei Shufang anxiously sent Qiao Qiqi back because Qiao Qiqi was accidentally injured by Wei Shufang. She was afraid of taking responsibility and that Qiao Qiqi would drag down her family.
"Erqiang, Sanli, you don't have to worry about Qiqi. There is nothing wrong with his leg. You can use a hot water bottle and apply hot compress on his leg and it will be fine in a few days."
