Chapter 604 The most important thing is to be happy
Qiao Simei's cooking skills are pretty good. Although it's not as delicious as Qiao Erqiang's cooking, it's still up to home-cooked standards.
It was the first time for Qi Weimin to eat the food cooked by Qiao Simei. He ate it with great gusto and was very complimentary.
"Simei, this is delicious."
"Delicious."
“This is not bad, it’s a chef’s level.”
"Hmm~ This one is the most delicious, Jinling Hotel is even worse than you."
Qiao Si was so beautiful that she felt a little embarrassed.
The corners of his mouth were stretched to the back of his head, with an obviously arrogant smile on his face, and he raised his eyebrows provocatively at Master Qiao Erqiang.
She swelled under Qi Weimin's endless praise.
Qiao Erqiang tasted the Braised Prawns in Vegetable Oil, which was inferior to Jinling Hotel, and finally looked at each other and smiled at Sanli. It was not without reason that Simei and her cousin had such a good relationship.
Seeing Qi Weimin praising the four beauties like a child, Qiao Zuwang couldn't help but shook his head, "This is a compliment," and took a mouthful of braised prawns.
In a pleasant atmosphere where Qiao Simei was chirping and cheerfully telling the cheering Qi Weimin how to make this dish and how to control the heat of that dish, dinner was over.
It was already dark, and Qi Weimin rode Qian Wen's bicycle home.
Qiao Zuwang had eaten and drank enough, closed the bedroom door tightly, hummed a tune, licked his fingers and happily counted the pile of money notes on his hand, which were all for him today.
Earned.
Simei, who was passing by the main room, heard the sound, glanced at Qiao Zuwang's closed bedroom door, and said to Sanli beside her, "It seems that I won a lot this time. Since I came back, Xiaoqu only stopped for a while while eating.
.”
Qiao Sanli, who was checking Qiqi's homework, didn't even raise her head. "Take care of yourself. The final is coming soon. Be careful that your grades will drop. No one will dare to hide canes for you then."
Hearing this, Qiao Simi looked embarrassed.
I remember it was when she was in the first semester of junior high school. Her grades were extremely poor in one subject and she barely passed.
Thinking of the dozens of blows from the cane, the stinging pain was unbearable, so she asked her second brother and third sister for help.
In the end, Qiao Er was so confused that he hid the cane.
The next day, Qian Wen brought back a thicker and better cane.
Qiao Simei fainted instantly, and she was afraid she was going to die.
On that day, the principal criminal Qiao Simei and the accomplice Qiao Erqiang bowed under the new cane.
Recall this wonderful memory.
Qiao Simei, who had finished his homework and planned to take some leisure time and watch a TV series as tomorrow was the weekend, stopped walking.
"Sister, I suddenly remembered a question that I haven't understood yet. Please tell me about it."
"What question?"
Qiao Zuwang was happily counting money, Sanli and Simei were studying, and the young Qiqi was holding the white cat Mianmian and playing hide-and-seek with the big white goose.
Qian Wen and Qiao Erqiang were lying on lounge chairs on the rooftop of the attic next door, feeling the breeze under the night sky.
"Did anything happen today? I came back from school absent-minded." Qian Wen closed his eyes on the recliner and talked to Qiao Erqiang next to him.
Hearing this, Qiao Erqiang was speechless and didn't know how to explain.
He doesn't know how to lie to his eldest brother, but he feels embarrassed to tell the truth.
For a moment, there was a pause.
Seeing no reply, Qian Wen was surprised and opened his eyes to look.
Qiao Erqiang stayed where he was.
Qian Wen frowned, 'What really happened?'
"Second Qiang, do you want to talk to your elder brother?"
Qiao Erqiang came back to his senses, shook his head, sobered up, and turned to look at Qian Wen, "Brother, I haven't thought about it yet.
Can you not say it?
But I promise that it will never affect my studies or do anything bad."
Qian Wen looked at Qiao Erqiang and saw that he was looking at him seriously and did not avoid his direct gaze.
There is no ghost in my heart.
He nodded and said, "Whenever you want to talk to Big Brother, Big Brother is always here."
"Thank you, brother."
Qiao Erqiang smiled happily.
Qiao Erqiang encountered the troubles of youth and suffered from insomnia for the first time at night.
The next day.
Today is the birthday of the top two, everyone got up early in the morning.
Even Xiao Qiqi followed Sanli and Simei and helped as much as she could.
Qi Weimin also came early in the morning, accompanied by his second uncle Qi Zhiqiang, who also came with gifts.
Originally, Qian Wen had planned to go out to eat on this birthday and celebrate his birthday in a relaxed and comfortable way.
But Er Qiang and the others were used to celebrating their birthdays at home, so they all proposed to celebrate their birthdays at home. Qian Wen didn't object, so they all got busy, going to the morning market to buy vegetables, to prepare vegetables, and to prepare other things.
Although it is the birthday of the second best, he should not be allowed to take charge today, but he has to do it, and he has the final say today, so it is up to him.
Qian Wen, Qi Weimin and their second uncle returned from buying vegetables at the morning market. Qiao Simei was already decorating the main room and hanging some birthday ribbons and balloons.
Sanli helped the second strongman in the kitchen.
Xiao Qiqi was eating secretly on the side.
Qian Wen put the cake ordered a few days ago on the table, and Qi Weimin helped Simei decorate the main room.
Qiao Simei's aesthetics are still worthy of recognition.
Second uncle Qi Zhiqiang ran to the kitchen to help.
There is strength in numbers, and before noon, delicious dishes with fragrant aroma were served on the table.
The main room became cozy, warm and full of joy under Qiao Simei's hands.
"Where are the four beauties?" Qi Weimin came in with a drink and looked around.
"Inside the house." Sanli pointed to the closed bedroom door.
Everything was ready and the dishes were on the table, but the quirky Qiao Simei took the cake away and asked Xiao Qiqi to lend it to her, and asked everyone to wait for her.
Today's birthday boy, Qiao Erqiang, wore a happy smile and looked happily at everyone in the hall.
"Sanli, go and take a look. I wonder what other evil ideas are coming up." Qian Wen said, "The second strongman and my uncle are waiting."
"It's okay, it's Er Qiang's birthday today, and happiness is the most important thing." Uncle Qi Zhiqiang said with a smile.
Sanli gently opened the bedroom door and walked in. Then there was an exclamation, and then laughter.
This left everyone waiting for them in the main room confused.
"Sister! Didn't I ask you to wait for us outside?"
Seeing the smiling Sanli, Qiao Simei saw that the matter was revealed in advance, and stamped her feet in frustration.
Sanli pointed at Xiao Qiqi at this moment, covered her mouth and smiled, with smiles in her eyes, "You... you are too silly, how could you make Qiqi..."
"Sister..." Qiao Simei hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Sanli's mouth to prevent the people in the main room from hearing her, and the surprise she had prepared for her second brother would be revealed.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Qiao Sanli's mouth was blocked, her eyes widened and she muttered.
"I can let go, but you are not allowed to speak." Qiao Simei demanded.
Qiao Sanli, whose big eyes still showed joy, nodded and promised not to say anything.
She was actually looking forward to everyone's expressions for a while.
"You came just in time, help me quickly." Qiao Simei let go of her hand and pulled Sanli towards Xiao Qiqi.
Xiao Qiqi opened her big innocent eyes and looked at the two weird sisters in front of her.
She tugged at the clothes on her body with her little hands, feeling a little uncomfortable wearing them, "Sister Simei, can I not wear this clothes?"
Not as comfortable as my clothes."
Sanli looked at it with a smile in her eyes, and couldn't help but nodded her sister Simei's head, "I really admire you."
"Oh, sister, please stop causing trouble and help me quickly. If brother, uncle and others are impatient, they can rush in.
All my efforts were in vain."
Qiao Simei gave Sanli a big look, then comforted Xiao Qiqi and said, "Qiqi, be good, you can eat the cream cake soon. It's delicious. Can I give you the fourth sister's cake in a while?"
With the temptation of delicious food, Xiao Qiqi reluctantly agreed to cooperate.
Sanli also smiled helplessly and followed Simei's mischief. Xiao Qiqi was really a little too stunning. She felt that having fun alone was not as good as having fun with everyone.
Let the elder brother be happy too.
People in the main room waited for a while, a little strange, why didn't Sanli come out? When they were about to go in to see what was going on, the bedroom door opened.
Sanli and Simei came out.
Sanli was suppressing a smile, while Simei looked proud and held her head high.
There is no trace of Xiao Qiqi and Milk Cake.
"Simei, what are you doing?" Qian Wen asked curiously.
"Brother, you will find out later." Then Qiao Simei walked towards Qiao Erqiang, "Second brother, close your eyes, I have a surprise for you."
Weird, weird.
But Qiao Erqiang still closed his eyes in cooperation and said, "Simei, what is the surprise?
Don't scare me."
Qiao Simei did not reply, but gave the third sister a look.
Qiao Sanli understood and went back to the bedroom with a smile. After a while, she and Xiao Qiqi came out holding a milk birthday cake with lit candles.
As soon as Xiao Qiqi came out, everyone was stunned, then shocked, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha~"
"Qiqi, you..."
"so cute."
"I really want to pinch Qiqi's little face."
The well-informed Qian Wen couldn't help but shake his head, Qiao Simei's brain is really amazing.
"What's wrong? Can I open my eyes?" Qiao Erqiang heard the sound and said with unbearable itch.
"Second brother, you can open your eyes." Simei said with a smile.
Her surprise will definitely make the birthday boy happy today and stay happy all year long.
Simei proudly waited for Qiao Erqiang's performance.
Qiao Erqiang opened his eyes.
Xiao Qiqi has big innocent eyes, wearing a princess-like white fluffy princess dress, and a pair of ladies' leather boots.
Simei also applied blush to Xiao Qiqi, raised her eyebrows, and made up her pink face. Her little face was chubby, and her innocent expression made people want to rub it.
It's so cute.
"Qiqi..." Qiao Erqiang opened his mouth wide, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, and a smile filled his eyes.
Xiao Qiqi saw that everyone was looking at him and laughing, even the eldest brother and the elder brother were laughing so happily. He didn't know what was so funny.
But still remembering Qiao Simei's advice, she walked towards Qiao Erqiang holding a milk birthday cake.
"Happy birthday, second brother. I wish you to be happy every day, with a smile on your face, and be happy every day."
Xiao Qiqi congratulated Qiao Erqiang in a childish voice.
He has a serious face and a small face that is innocent, innocent and cute.
Qiao Erqiang laughed out loud, "Hahaha, thank you Qiqi.
Second brother will always be happy."
"Second brother, just be happy." Xiao Qiqi wanted to scratch her head, but she still held the milk birthday cake in her hand, "Second brother, make a wish and blow out the candles."
Qiao Erqiang looked at Qiqi and smiled for a while. Under Qiqi's urging again, he quietly made a wish and then blew out the candles.
"Sister Simei, can I have cake?"
Seeing that her mission was completed, Xiao Qiqi tilted her head, blinked her big bright eyes, and looked at Qiao Simei, who had promised her.
Suddenly, Xiao Qiqi, who was dressed as a princess, made everyone bleed.
"I just said Qiqi is the most beautiful, right?
My future partners will have to be on par with Qiqi at worst."
After listening to Qiao Simei's words, Qian Wen reached out and tapped her little head, "You have been fooling around all day, who asked you to put on Qiqi's clothes when you were a child!"
Qiao Simei shrank her head and looked at Qian Wen. It could be seen that Qian Wen's eyes were not sternly reprimanding, but full of smiles. She suddenly became timid.
He held his head high and said, "Brother, please tell me if the birthday gift I prepared for my second brother is good.
The second brother can't stop smiling.
This is how your birthday should be, being happy is the most important thing."
Looking at the still arrogant Qiao Simei, Qian Wen rubbed her hair hard and let her go.
The princess dress and small leather shoes worn by Xiao Qiqi were all birthday gifts given to her by Qian Wen, who spent a lot of money on Simei's birthday when she was still young.
At that time, Qiao Simimei cherished her clothes and was reluctant to wear them. Until she couldn't wear them anymore, the clothes were still almost like new ones, and she finally put them under the box with great care.
Unexpectedly, this time I took it out and put it on Qiqi.
"Qiqi is so cute." Qi Weimin squatted in front of Xiao Qiqi and pinched his little face lovingly.
"Brother, can I eat the cream cake?" Xiao Qiqi licked the corner of her mouth and asked greedily.
"You can eat it. Second brother will cut a big piece for you." Qiao Erqiang smiled and took the cream cake.
Xiao Qiqi heard the sound and smiled happily.
Qian Wen took out the prepared camera, the Minolta x-700, and said, "Let's take a photo."
"Okay, let's record this beautiful moment." Simei said while jumping.
Qian Wen glanced at Xiao Qiqi in the princess dress. He actually wanted to record the current Xiao Qiqi, and then wait for his 18th birthday to give it to him as a birthday present.
Everyone happily took photos. After taking a few photos of everyone together, they rushed to take photos with Xiao Qiqi.
Xiao Qiqi is so popular now.
After taking some photos.
Qiao Er forced to share the cake. Qiao Simei felt sorry for her princess dress and was afraid it would get dirty, so she took Xiao Qiqi back to the house to change it.
Qiao Simei had already shown her birthday gift to Qiao Erqiang, and Qian Wen and the others also showed what they had prepared.
"Here, the college entrance examination is about to take place. Brother, I wish you immediate success and a happy birthday."
Qian Wen gave Qiao Erqiang a square jewelry box.
Qiao Erqiang opened it curiously and said in surprise, "Watch."
"Well, now that you are an adult, you should have a front." Qian Wen smiled and nodded.
Qiao Erqiang couldn't put it down and put it on.
"Second brother still has mine."
What Qiao Sanli gave to the top two was a very fashionable baseball cap, which she bought with her frugal pocket money.
"Thank you, Sanli." Qiao Erqiang liked it very much.
Xiao Qiqi, who came out after changing clothes, came over, pulled Qiao Erqiang's cuffs, and asked him to squat down.
Qiao Erqiang squatted down curiously, "Does Qiqi also have a gift for the second brother?"
Qiqi nodded cutely, and stretched out the little hand she had been carrying behind her back in front of Qiao Erqiang, which was a piece of rolled up drawing paper. "Second brother, happy birthday."
"Thank you Qiqi, you are happy too." Qiao Erqiang opened the drawing paper. On it was a portrait of a person, drawn with colored pens. It was Qiao Erqiang himself.
Everyone worked hard and used their best efforts to prepare thoughtful gifts for Qiao Erqiang.
Qiao Simei is a moonlighting person. When she went to school, she had little income and was not as able to save money as Sanli. She could only rely on her own whimsical ideas to bring laughter to Qiao Erqiang.
Qi Weimin gave Qiao Erqiang a belt.
Uncle Qi Zhiqiang gave Qiao Erqiang a very practical white-collar shirt.
Qiao Erqiang was very satisfied, and the happiness at this moment was beyond words.
Qiao Erqiang had a very happy birthday on this birthday. He also used his cooking skills to give back to everyone, and everyone ate happily.
Xiao Qiqi also ate the cream cake that she longed for, and gave Simei a small piece. After all, Qiao Simei's cream cake was promised to Qiqi.
In the afternoon, Qian Wen funded and took everyone to the skating rink, park, and amusement park.
The day passed so happily.
Two days later, the weekend is over.
Qian Wen returned to campus.
In the evening, in the off-campus dormitory, Sophia enthusiastically cooked as much home-cooked meals as she could.
After the meal, the lights in the living room were turned off and it was dim. The TV was on, shining bright light, and the two of them were leaning on each other closely on the sofa.
"Sofia, there is something I can't hide from you."
"Issei, what's wrong?"
Sophia was startled, and then stared at him nervously with her beautiful big eyes, afraid of hearing bad news.
"I've been having some health problems recently." Qian Wen frowned, unable to explain.
Sofia held his hand tightly and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Is it serious?"
"The problem is not too big. It's just that I haven't seen you for two days. The moisture in my body is a bit heavy and I need to clear away heat and detoxify."
"Moisture? What is heat-clearing and detoxification?"
Sofia, a foreigner, didn't understand it at all.
"It's okay, I'll teach you how to save me."
Qian Wen took Sophia's thin hand, pressed it on his chest, and then gently lifted the thin blanket covering the two of them.
Sofia half pushed her down, and with a rustling sound under the thin blanket, pieces were thrown under the sofa.
Sophia was so delicate and charming, her beautiful big eyes were watery, and she slowly squeezed in under the dim light of the TV in the dark living room.
