Qiao Zuwang walked in with his hands behind his back and looked at two strong men, one standing against the wall and the other holding on to the wall.
Qian Wen glanced at him and didn't take the wine. He came back at this time again. Either the mahjong players had not gathered together, or they had finished losing.
The leftovers on the table were not yet confiscated. Qiao Zu glanced at his stomach. He was angry at the mahjong table just now and didn't eat anything. He sat there like an old man.
"Go and serve me a bowl of rice.
What is this? Shredded pork soup?"
Qiao Simei's big eyes rolled around, cleverly trying to avoid standing still, but in the end she didn't dare to move.
Erqiang looked back and continued to hold on to the wall.
Qian Wen tapped Qiao Erqiang's calf with the cane in his hand, pointed to the back room, "Wait for me inside."
Qiao Erqiang obediently walked to the back room. Qian Wen looked at Qiao Simei who was standing on horseback and said, "Go to the courtyard and stand at the same place."
Qiao Simei pursed her lips and ran skillfully to the corner of the small courtyard, where there was a shady spot. She took a standard horse step and saw Qian Wen looking at her. She grinned, "Brother, I will definitely get 85 points in the exam next time."
, this time it was all a mistake, you have to believe me."
Qian Wen raised his forehead and said angrily, "You will teach me well, and I will give you a chance to get into Huaqing University and Capital University."
"Well, okay, big brother, I will definitely work hard and not let you down."
Qiao Simei didn't hear anything in Qian Wen's words and thought he was no longer angry. She grinned happily and nodded heavily, as if she was a big brother and a good sister.
Erqiang entered the back room, and Sanli pulled Xiao Qiqi out. After hearing what he and Simei said, and looking at her sister's silly and sweet smile, she sighed, "Simei, my eldest brother's prestigious university depends on you.
Already."
"Yeah!" Simei nodded proudly, but still didn't react.
Qiao Zuwang watched speechlessly, looking at his son and his daughter. There was a silly and giggling guy in the courtyard, muttering in his mouth, "Stop studying now. I'm wasting my tuition money with this brain. You're so stupid."
Already."
Qian Wen was too lazy to tease Qiao Simei, so he walked into the back room carrying the cane and closed the door.
Soon, the sound of bamboo slices frying meat could be heard.
The second strongman's deep, muffled voice.
Qiao Simei, who was standing in the small courtyard, covered her eyes and hid, her face turned pale, she looked at Sanli who was watching Qiao Zu watch the rice coming out of the kitchen, and asked in a low voice quickly, "Third sister, 28 times, second brother
Can you still get out of bed today?"
Qiao Sanli also felt sorry for the second brother, but no one could change her eldest brother's decision. She shook her head and said, "Prepare some medicine for the second brother's bruises."
Practicing martial arts requires, of course, appropriate equipment to strengthen muscles and bones, ointments to relieve pain and remove blood stasis, and medicated oils to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Qian Wen didn't intend for the little ones to learn anything, just to make them stronger in character, but after bumping into each other, he made some preparations.
A good part of his money is spent on this, otherwise his family's life would be at a higher level.
"Sanli, my food is here, I'm almost starving to death." Qiao Zuwang heard the sound of banging in the back room, shook his head, and poured himself a glass of wine.
"What are you doing? It's not about studying. If you ask me, if you reach the age in a few years, you can work as soon as possible, and you can make more money at home.
The whole family eats from me, which makes me poor."
Qiao Sanli came in with a meal, pretending not to hear Qiao Zuwang's words, put down the meal without changing her expression, and turned to go to the small courtyard to accompany Simei Qiqi.
In the back room, Qian Wen used some skillful force on his hands and hit the second strong skin and flesh. It was painful, raw, and long-lasting, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones. After a while, he rubbed the medicated oil for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and lay down for a night, and it was almost done.
.
Erqiang gritted his teeth tightly, tensed his muscles, and suppressed his face to turn red, trying to alleviate the pain.
28 strokes, no matter how quick it is, Qiao Erqiang got over it quickly.
"Cough cough cough." The moment he finished the beating, Qiao Erqiang grinned and coughed.
"Next time, keep working hard and try to break through 28 times." Qian Wen used the cane to tap the sore buttocks of the second strong man.
"Hiss~"
"Brother, please be gentle. After you've finished typing, you still have to replenish it. This will be recorded in the account."
"You can still smile playfully, but it seems that you are underestimating yourself.
How about I offer a buy-one-get-one-free service?”
Qiao Erqiang hurriedly stood up to attention. His movement was too fierce, and his red and swollen buttocks were pulled, causing him to hiss again.
"Brother, I'm tired too. Buy one get one free so there's no need for it, haha."
Qian Wen hung the cane in his hand on the wall and patted him on the shoulder, "You must listen to big brother and try to break this record by the end of the semester."
"Brother, I promise, I will study hard during this period of time."
"No, please don't, rattan is actually quite fun."
Qian Wen opened the door and walked out, leaving behind a faint message as he left, "Go back to the hut and apply some medicinal oil on you."
Hearing this, Qiao Erqiang showed his big white teeth and said, "Okay, big brother."
The second strongman went back to the house like a crab, applied medicine, and lay down there.
Simei finished her horse stance, rubbed her sore waist, hips and legs, and then trotted off to find the second best.
"Second brother, are you okay? Have you split into several petals?"
There was a black line on Qiao Erqiang's forehead, but he didn't have the energy to quarrel anymore.
"It's cool after applying the medicated oil, and it's a little bit hot. I guess it'll be better after a good sleep."
Main hall.
After dinner, Qiao Zuwang obviously had something on his mind, so he went back to his room to rest for a while. However, he lay upset and felt uncomfortable when he sat up. Qian Wen's voice came to his ears in the main room.
After sitting for a while, I patted my thighs, walked to the main room, and sat down next to him, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Qian Wenzheng had nothing to do, reading some enlightening books to Xiao Qiqi, and glanced at Qiao Zuwang, who looked like he had something to ask him, "What's the matter?"
Qiao Zuwang chuckled and rubbed his hands, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I have a good business to make money, but the principal is a bit short. Do you think... can you lend me the money left over from selling your mother's jade bracelet?"
Can I help you urgently?
You see, if I make money, your living expenses can also be more.
This time I will definitely make a profit without losing money. My dad’s friend recommended me and I will get my money back quickly.”
"No money." Qian Wen didn't even think about it.
Who is Qiao Zuwang? He just thinks about cheating and cheating. What kind of person can his friend be? People of the same kind gather together, and animals of the same kind divide into groups. It’s a damn thing if they can make money.
Moreover, in the play, Qiao Zuwang invests and does business many times, but in the end he always says "compensate!"
Now that he had opened his mouth, he wished he could break the penny in half and spend it. He didn't have any spare money to pay for the other party's teaching fees, so he should go to bed quickly.
Qian Wen's crispness made the smiling Qiao Zuwang stunned for a moment, and then he got angry without shame. I was so smiling, but I didn't even bother to pretend, and I just wanted to hit the unfilial son.
"Huh?" Qian Wen looked at him flatly and said in a deep voice, with obvious meaning.
Qiao Zu looked at his hand stretched out in the air and suddenly became confused.
If you slap him, you feel that you will be in danger, but if you don't, let him put his face there.
He hesitated.
"Sister~" Xiao Qiqi hugged Qian Wen's legs and hurriedly asked for help in the back room.
"What's wrong Qiqi?" Sanli heard the sound and ran out.
What he saw was that Qiao Zuwang was about to teach Qian Wen a lesson. He was so excited that he stepped in front of Qian Wen and shouted at Qiao Zuwang, "Dad, what do you want to do?"
The voice was very loud, and Simei, who was whispering to her second brother in the newly built hut, came out strangely, glanced at her, hugged her, and then screamed, "Second brother, daddy is going to beat the eldest brother."
"What?"
After Qiao Erqiang, the pain in his butt disappeared. Ma Liu followed Simei and ran to the main room, barefoot and without any shoes.
Whoosh whoosh, Erqiang, Sanli, and Simei stood in front of him with their arms outstretched, protecting him.
Qiqi, who didn't understand anything, also hugged Simei and stared at Qiao Zuwang with a pout.
Qiao Zuwang was still hesitating, but was resisted by his family. He looked at the second strongman and the others, and then at Qian Wen who was being protected behind the second strongman. He waved his chin in the air and shouted, "Turn over."
It’s amazing, it’s amazing.”
Qian Wen looked at the two strong men in front of him and smiled, feeling very relieved that his pain for them was not in vain. He stood up and pushed them aside, facing Qiao Zuwang directly.
"Brother." Qiao Erqiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to block him and looked at Qiao Zuwang carefully.
"It's okay, I won't hit the old man."
Qiao Zuwang, "..."
Are those two strong men protecting me?
When Qiao Erqiang and the others thought about it, their reaction to the stress just now relaxed.
"Yes, with my eldest brother's skills, it's dad we should protect," Qiao Simei said in a low voice.
Qiao Sanli also stopped trying to protect Qian Wen, subconsciously forgetting that her eldest brother did not need their protection.
Qiao Zuwang looked very shameless, his face turned red and his neck was thick with anger, didn't he want to lose face?
The old father has no face left at all.
"Brother, why did you and dad have a quarrel?" Sanli asked in a low voice.
Qian Wen asked Sanli and the others to go and be busy as they should, but Sanli and the others refused to leave, fearing that they would have another conflict. Qian Wen didn't bother him either. He looked at Qiao Zuwang and said, "I have a plan for my money. It's useful.
I don’t have spare money for you to invest or do business.”
"You make no less than me now, just from that... that newspaper contract, and the martial arts novel you wrote for the newspaper.
Now many people subscribe to that newspaper just to read the martial arts novels you wrote.
I have inquired about it, and every time the newspaper office gives you a lot of money.
You students can spend as much money as you want, and it will still be useful. You are a liar. If you lend it to me, it doesn’t mean I won’t pay it back to you.
Besides, what I want is the money for your mother’s jade bracelet, so I should have a share of it.”
Qian Wen didn't expect that Qiao Zuwang's inquiries were quite detailed.
Because school studies were too childish for him, he was idle at school, so he thought of some ways to make extra money. He couldn't just rely on selling big fish to make extra money. This was too much luck.
I just thought of the simplest thing, doing copywriting in my free time.
Now that the special period has just passed, an extremely hot reading craze has set off in the mainland. Nowadays, there are no mobile phones, computers, and even TVs, and few people have them. Newspapers, magazines, and magazines have become a rare entertainment nowadays.
Qian Wen wrote a short martial arts novel and went to the newspaper to recommend himself.
As a result, the newspaper director was attracted by his unique martial arts style.
He uses his free time to earn some money.
However, because he is not yet 18, there are many restrictions on him, which are not very beneficial. He does not want to make wedding clothes for others, and Qiao Zuwang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he did not bring out anything genuine, just simply wrote
Some short stories.
Other genuine items, such as "Seeking Qin Ji" and "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", etc., I plan to take them out bit by bit when I go to college.
Unexpectedly, he asked Qiao Zuwang to lend him the money without even realizing that there was any commotion.
"I have already spent all the money from Jade Bracelet to build a hut, brew martial arts oil, eat three meals a day, and buy some clothes for the second strongman and the others.
Including me, five mouths would have been spent long ago.
As for my royalties, it has nothing to do with you." Qian Wen said, waving his fingers.
In Qiao Zuwang's opinion, they were all excuses, "You really don't want to borrow it?"
"There is nothing we can do." Qian Wen spread his hands.
"Humph." Qiao Zuwang waved his hand angrily, then turned around and walked out the door. He couldn't stay in this house anymore, so he finally opened his mouth, but in the end he lost all face.
Passing by Qiao Erqiang and the others, thinking of their disobedient behavior just now, he suddenly kicked Erqiang in the butt, "They are all white-eyed wolves. If you treat your father like this, it will strike you like lightning."
People beat you and you still lick your face to please them. I don't have a spineless son like you.
I should have continued to let your second aunt find someone else to marry me in the first place, but now you are bullying me with this angry guy!"
After kicking him, he didn't dare to stop at all. He ran out of the small courtyard as if his feet were on fire.
Being attacked, Er Qiang had a look of pain on his face and wanted to cover his buttocks, but he didn't dare. He faced the door and shouted in the direction where Qiao Zu had disappeared, "Dad, what are you doing!"
Qian Wen was speechless. What his father did was like no one else.
In the past, there were many children in the family. In this era, when it was difficult to raise children, they would choose to send a son or daughter out.
In the play, Qiao Zuwang was also born in Qiqi, his wife passed away, and he was idle, so he wanted his sister-in-law to find a good family and give him a baby girl.
Qian Wen told his second aunt Wei Shufang early in the morning that there was no need to look for her.
That's all, Qiao Zuwang still remembers.
You are so small-minded.
"Simei, help your second brother go back to the house and lie down." Qian Wen ordered.
Qiao Simei nodded and carefully helped Er Qiang towards the hut.
Sanli looked at him, "Brother, dad..."
"It's okay, the old man is a smart guy, you can go back and do your work."
This incident is just a small episode, Qiao Zuwang will give you surprises from time to time, and he is not used to it.
In the evening, Qiao Zuwang came back, with a dark face, and ignored them. He didn't eat anything, so he went into the house and lay down.
In the hut, they got into and out of bed, and the two strong men were lying on their stomachs on the lower bunk.
Qian Wen was at the small desk in the hut, holding a pen and writing the martial arts novel that needed to be submitted to the newspaper at the end of this month.
"Brother." Qiao Erqiang suddenly called him.
"Say." Qian Wen didn't stop writing or raise his head.
Qiao Erqiang paused for a moment, then said unspeakably, "Niu Ye... Niu Ye wants to learn martial arts from you, let me ask you if you want to accept him.
He is willing to pay money and become our disciple, and he also calls me my master, and he will never bully his master and destroy his ancestors."
As soon as the pen in his hand stopped, Qian Wen had a strange look on his face, "Call me master? Bully your master and destroy your ancestors? Become a disciple?"
Nothing and nothing.
There is really no shortage of middle school boys in any era.’
"Are you showing off to me?" He turned to look at Qiao Erqiang on the bed and said sternly.
"No, brother, you have to believe me.
One time while watching TV at Niuye's house, someone had some conflicts and started fighting.
I stopped him quickly, and then...then I just kept bragging."
Qian Wen looked at him with a half-smile but didn't say anything, just looked at him.
Qiao Erqiang laughed a few times, "Okay, after bragging, I did a set of punches in front of him.
Since then, Niu Ye has been pestering me, wanting to learn martial arts, and asked me to ask my elder brother if he would accept more people."
Qian Wen walked over, sat down, and patted Erqiang's buttocks. Qiao Erqiang grinned and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Brother."
"Not accepted."
"Okay, big brother." Qiao Erqiang said obediently.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons are colorful.
Qian Wen grew up little by little, and the fourth primary school also thrived.
The time has arrived in 1983.
He is 18 and will take the college entrance examination tomorrow.
Everyone has confidence in him, the school teachers, the fourth primary school student at home, and even Qiao Zuwang.
Of course he himself is more confident.
A few days ago, the whole family was dominated by him. He opened his mouth when he was wearing clothes and stretched out his hands when he came to eat. The whole family was afraid of affecting him.
Qiao Zuwang's steps were a little lighter.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Qiao Erqiang got up and prepared food for him.
Second uncle Qi Zhiqiang also drove Qi Weimin to their home early in the morning on a tricycle and took him to the examination room very considerately.
Qi Weimin also took the college entrance examination today.
"10%, let's see who does better in the exam." Qi Weimin said confidently.
"I don't know who has always been the loser."
"Just tell me whether you want to compare or not."
