Wei Shufang stayed at Qiao's house for a while and then left, allowing the Qiao brothers and sisters to reunite.
Before leaving, Wang Gang took out some Sichuan specialties from his bag and gave them to Wei Shufang to take away.
Wei Shufang didn't want it at first, but she couldn't help Wang Gang forcing her to take it away.
As soon as the second aunt left, Qiao Simei rummaged through Wang Gang's bag.
"Second brother, what gift did you bring me?"
"I didn't say I would bring you a gift!" Wang Gang joked.
Qiao Simei hummed and said, "Don't try to lie to me. Even the second aunt has gifts, how could we not have them?"
Qiao Yicheng knocked Qiao Simei on the head and said angrily: "You don't understand any rules."
Qiao Simei covered her head, pouted and shouted: "Brother, if you hit me on the head again, I will be even more stupid."
Qiao Yicheng became even more angry and said: "People say that the stupid bird flies first. Since you know you are stupid, why don't you work hard?
If you don’t study every day, look at the things posted on the wall of your room.”
"Brother, you don't understand, those are all celebrity posters, and each one is my favorite." Qiao Simei said with a pout.
"At such a young age, you know what love is." Qiao Yicheng scolded: "Your task now is to study hard and follow others to chase stars."
"I am chasing stars without delaying my studies." Qiao Simei said quibly.
Qiao Yicheng turned to Qiao Sanli and said: "In the future, when I go to college, the second best will live in the team, and I will rely on you to keep an eye on Simei at home."
Qiao Sanli smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you can't control Simei. How can I do that?"
"You are her sister, and you live in the same house. From now on, you will help me with her homework every day after school." Qiao Yicheng said.
Qiao Sanli looked bitter, tutoring Qiao Simei in her homework was definitely a difficult task.
Qiao Yicheng and Wang Gang took turns trying it, and almost flipped the table.
Qiao Simei's mind was not on studying, and it was useless no matter how hard she tried.
Qiao Yicheng also knew that this was embarrassment for Sanli, but he had nothing to do!
After he goes to college, he will start to work part-time and have very little time at home.
Wang Gang usually lives in the team and can only come back one day a week. Not to mention that he is competing outside and may not be able to return home for a month.
Only Sanli, Simei and Qiqi are left in the family. As for Qiao Zuwang, it's good if he doesn't become a monster.
"I will try to come back every night from now on. When I am away, if something happens at home, you can ask your second aunt for help." Qiao Yicheng warned.
"Brother, you can go to school with peace of mind! We can take care of ourselves." Qiao Qiqi said sensibly.
Qiao Qiqi is eight years old this year. She is in the second grade of elementary school. Her grades are not satisfactory, but she is very sensible and a bit dull.
"Simei, you graduated from elementary school this year and will go to junior high school in two months. If your grades continue like this, you may not be able to graduate from junior high school." Wang Gang touched Simei's head and took out a pack of candies from his bag.
Qiao Simei smiled happily when she saw the candy and didn't care what her second brother said.
Wang Gang gave Qiao Yicheng a pen, Qiao Sanli a pair of dancing shoes, and Qiqi a pencil case.
After receiving the pen, Qiao Yicheng frowned and said: "Erqiang, you don't need to bring me a gift, you can keep this pen!"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "This pen was given to me by the coach after I won the competition. I am usually busy training and don't need a pen."
"If you go to military school, you can still use it." Qiao Yicheng put the pen back into Wang Gang's bag and said:
"You can compete with peace of mind and don't have to worry about family matters. I have already found a job and will work part-time from now on."
Wang Gang asked in surprise: "What job did you find?"
Qiao Yicheng said: "A tutoring job, tutoring English for a junior high school student, the tutoring fee is quite high."
Wang Gang said: "Brother, you don't have to work too hard. I have a monthly salary of more than fifty yuan. If I win the competition, I will get a bonus, which is higher than my salary."
"That's your money, how can I use it?" Qiao Yicheng said, "You keep the money and use it to marry a wife in the future."
Wang Gang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "How old am I? It's still too early to marry a wife!"
Qiao Sanli smiled and said: "Two days ago, Aunt Zhang from next door came over to ask if my second brother had a girlfriend. She seemed to want to introduce someone to you."
"There is also Uncle Liu from the corner of the street. He said that his daughter will graduate from high school next year and he wants to introduce her to his second brother."
Wang Gang was shocked to find that the two boys of Qiao's family had grown up before he knew it.
"Brother, do you have a girlfriend at school?" Wang Gang asked.
"I study all day long, how can I get a girlfriend?" Qiao Yicheng blushed and said.
"Why are you blushing? Are you secretly falling in love behind our backs?" Wang Gang teased.
"Brother, am I going to have a sister-in-law soon?" Qiao Simei said innocently: "Let's talk about it first, if my sister-in-law is not beautiful, I won't agree to it!"
"What's the matter with you?" Qiao Yicheng scolded with a smile: "I won't consider dating a partner before I graduate from college."
The brothers were playing around for a while, and Qiao Zuwang returned home. When he saw Wang Gang, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.
"When did the second strongman come back?" Qiao Zuwang walked into the house happily.
Wang Gang took out a cigarette from his bag and threw it to Qiao Zuwang.
"These are Sichuan Province cigarettes." Qiao Zu's eyes lit up when he looked at the cigarette.
"Top two, if you break the world record this time, is there any bonus from the team?"
Qiao Yicheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Dad, what do you want to do!"
Qiao Zuwang chuckled and said: "You know, the old Lin family at the end of the street! I bought a TV two days ago and can still watch the broadcast of major events.
I think if there is a TV at home, we can all watch the semi-finals games in the future."
Qiao Yicheng was silent after hearing this. To be honest, he also wanted to buy a TV set and watch his younger brother's game live at home.
It’s just that TVs are too expensive. Even a black and white TV costs several hundred yuan, which is equivalent to an average worker’s annual income without food or drink.
The Qiao family still has three children to raise, so every penny must be saved.
Qiao Simei said eagerly: "If we have a TV at home, we can watch cartoons in the future."
Although Qiao Sanli and Qiao Qiqi did not speak, the desire in their eyes could not be concealed.
Qiao Yicheng coughed and was about to scold his sister when Wang Gang said, "In that case, let's buy a TV!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As he said that, Wang Gang took out a ticket from the bag, actually from the space.
"It's a coincidence that the leaders of Sichuan Province invited me to dinner a few days ago and just gave me a TV ticket."
Qiao Simei grabbed the TV ticket and said in surprise: "It's still a color TV ticket."
Qiao Yicheng was surprised and said: "Why did the leader give you the ticket? You won't make any mistakes, right?"
Wang Gang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Brother, where are you thinking? As an athlete, what mistakes can I make?
This ticket was invited by Sichuan Provincial Television Station to interview me, and it is regarded as the interview fee given by others."
Only then did Qiao Yicheng feel relieved.
"You're on TV?" Qiao Yicheng quickly realized what Wang Gang meant.
"It's just a local TV station. We shouldn't be able to see it here." Wang Gang said: "But if I enter the Asian team and participate in the World Cup track and field competition, you should be able to see me on TV."
Qiao Sanli said happily: "Brother, let's buy a TV!"
The whole family looked at Qiao Yicheng expectantly.
"We don't have much money on hand, so we still have to keep it to live on." Qiao Yicheng glanced at Qiao Zuwang. The meaning was very obvious. You can't just say nothing when buying a TV for your family, right?
Qiao Zuwang gritted his teeth, thinking that he could show off to his old friends with a TV at home, so he said:
"I only have two hundred dollars on hand."
Qiao Yicheng said regretfully: "Then there is nothing we can do. I will give the TV ticket to my second aunt tomorrow. Her family should be rich."
Qiao Zuwang became anxious and said, "You prodigal son, why did you give your second aunt the TV ticket?"
"We don't have money to buy a TV, so it's useless to keep the tickets. My second aunt has helped our family so much, so it's only right to give us a ticket."
Qiao Yicheng knew that Qiao Zuwang had money. He kept most of his monthly salary in his own hands. He didn't have any big expenses, so he should have more than a thousand yuan in savings.
"I owe you little cannons." Qiao Zuwang gritted his molar teeth and said, "I'll pay you three hundred, but I can't give you any more."
Qiao Yicheng sneered: "Five hundred, if it doesn't work, forget it."
"What, five hundred, you want my life!" Qiao Zuwang exclaimed.
"The TV will be placed in the living room from now on. Usually we have to go to school and do homework when we get home, so you still watch a lot of TV." Qiao Yicheng said quietly.
Qiao Zuwang rolled his eyes, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, I'll pay five hundred!"
The corners of Qiao Yicheng's lips curled up, and he and Wang Gang looked at each other and smiled.
Wang Gang left the matter of buying a TV set to Qiao Yicheng, who only issued the check. Qiao Zuwang paid part of the money, and used his family's savings for the rest.
Wang just saw that the time was almost up and returned to the team, where a large number of people were waiting for him to have a feast.
What surprised Wang Gang was that he saw an unexpected person at the reception banquet!
