Qiao Dongliang can't control Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, so he can save as much as he can.
Apart from home, Qiao Dongliang, a grown man, has even managed to spend less than five yuan a month outside. Even when he rarely has a meal outside at noon, Qiao Dongliang does not dare to buy meat dishes. They are all vegetarian, and he only orders them at a time.
A vegetarian dish.
It's just that as the head of the family, Qiao Dongliang is embarrassed to tell the three women in the family no matter how worried he is.
Qiao Dongliang always thought that his wife Ding Jiayi would be the most considerate to him in this family, but who knew she was the youngest daughter who was usually the most taciturn.
"Nannan, you, when you went to Pingzhong, did you see that dad was worried about money?" Qiao Dongliang sniffed, his voice a little choked.
"Well, if my sister and I both go to college, I know that you and my mother can't afford it." Qiao Nan responded calmly: "I know that I am different from my sister. My parents have been more fond of me since I was a child.
My sister and my mother insisted on letting me work before. I understand what it means. It’s rare for my father to support me in continuing my studies. I can’t make money, but at least I have to help relieve my father’s burden elsewhere.”
"Nannan, dad is quite useless. He wants to give birth to a daughter, but he can't afford it." Qiao Dongliang's tone was full of bitterness. It turned out that the younger daughter had known about it all along, but the younger daughter didn't say anything.
Bearing everything silently: "Nan Nan, are you aggrieved?"
"I felt aggrieved at first. I didn't understand why my sister and I were both the daughters of my parents, so there was such a big difference. But after a while, I didn't feel it anymore."
The calmer Qiao Nan's mood became, the more Qiao Dongliang blamed himself. The child had been wronged for so long that he was numb and almost had no feelings for his parents.
No wonder, no wonder, in the past year, every time he and Lao Ding quarreled, Nan Nan didn't respond and stopped trying to persuade him.
"Dad, you go to work. You don't have to worry about this anymore. You still have at least two years to raise my sister's college tuition. As for mine, let's talk about it later." Thinking of the financial situation of Qiao's family, Qiao
Nan also had a severe headache.
Based on her current situation, she can indeed find a job during the summer vacation, and she will definitely earn more than Qiao Zijin.
But she just didn't want their family to form a habit, thinking that she could make money on her own and that she could solve any problems by herself. This was not enough. If they encountered any financial problems, they could also reach out to her.
In her previous life, she had already served as a mobile cash machine for her mother and Qiao Zijin.
"Well, it's finally summer vacation. You should rest more and stop reading all the time. It's not good for your eyes." Qiao Dongliang cheered up. Nan Nan had thought so much about him. How could he be worthy of Nan if he didn't cheer up again?
Nan's "Dad".
"Old Qiao, you are in a good mood today." When Qiao Dongliang arrived at the factory, his colleagues saw Qiao Dongliang smiling and said hello: "What, the trouble is solved?"
"Is it so obvious?" Qiao Dongliang touched his chin.
"That's right, but don't you see how sharp my eyes are. Have you solved the problem of paying for your daughter's education?" My colleague knew Qiao Dongliang's situation well and knew that Qiao Dongliang had two daughters, and both of them were in the country.
In school, the grade difference is only one grade.
This book, the more you read, the more expensive it becomes.
"My younger daughter has good grades and is expected to be admitted to the attached high school. If she does get admitted to the attached high school and her ranking is good enough, she can go to a regular middle school without tuition and get a scholarship."
"Really, your little daughter is so promising!" A colleague was surprised: "If you don't go to the attached high school, go to the ordinary middle school. Lao Qiao, you are lucky enough. No wonder the old man often said that his daughter is a little cotton-padded jacket. If that stinky boy in my family...
He would be filial to me if he could be more angry and don't make me angry about his grades. Having a son now is really not as useful as a daughter."
"My Nan Nan is quite well-behaved."
"But Lao Qiao, didn't you say that your eldest daughter is also a student of the attached high school? Why didn't she do this at the beginning? If she also entered the middle school, your two daughters would have spent a high school in vain. When your two daughters enter
After college, the money is flowing out like water, and you can’t spend it as fast as you earn. It’s great to save a little in the three years of high school.”
Qiao Dongliang's expression changed: "My eldest daughter is not as sensible and considerate as my younger daughter."
Not only did Zijin save some money for him, Zijin still spent all his family's money just to have the chance to study in the attached middle school.
Nannan had the opportunity to study in the attached middle school, but in order to save money, she would rather go to the middle school. Zijin couldn't pass the exam, so she had to go.
When the two daughters compared each other, Qiao Dongliang hesitated a little.
He wanted to raise a son to provide for old age. He had no son, so he wanted to keep Zi Jin at home to recruit a son-in-law. But with Zi Jin’s temperament, could he rely on Zi Jin to provide for old age in the future?
In the current situation, Nannan is obviously much more filial than Zijin.
"That's right, but it's good. Both of your daughters are good at studying. It's a blessing to have one of them so sensible. Raising such a daughter is really much easier than raising a son." Patting Qiao Dongliang's hand.
Shoulder, colleagues went to work on their own.
The colleague's words made Qiao Dongliang's heart tremble. Qiao Dongliang came across an idea and secretly considered this possibility in his heart.
If he really had to choose a daughter to keep by his side, of course he should choose a better daughter, a daughter who could be stronger than his son.
When he was young, Zijin seemed to be more flexible than Nannan, had a sweet mouth, and knew how to get into trouble.
But looking at the current situation, even if Nannan is usually silent, there is a scale in her heart, and the door is clear.
Qiao Nan didn't know that her long-awaited plan would make Qiao Dongliang change like this. The reason why she didn't go to the attached middle school was because she could get free tuition and miscellaneous fees. More importantly, she wanted to stay away from Qiao Zijin.
To avoid being plotted and bullied by Qiao Zijin again.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Zijin also had this idea, so he gave Qiao Nan a favor for free, so that Qiao Nan could establish her presence in front of Qiao Dongliang and establish the image of a good daughter.
At this time, there was only one thing in Qiao Dongliang's mind, that is, raising a daughter means raising a younger daughter.
Qiao Nan, who was still at home, looked at the empty house and was stunned.
It's really rare that after the holidays, Qiao Zijin sometimes goes out earlier than her.
There is no one at home anymore, is it necessary for her to go to Zhai's house to review?
"Is there anyone there?" Before Qiao Nan could decide whether to go to Zhai's house, a strange man's voice came from outside Qiao's house.
"Who is it?!" Qiao Nan was wary and did not dare to open the door for anyone.
Qiao Nan walked to the window and looked out. Looking at the blurry and tall figure, Qiao Nan felt confused. Who is this?
It wasn't until Qiao Nan vaguely saw the man's familiar facial features that she thought of the man's identity: "It's him, why is he here?" (To be continued)
