Under the reluctance of his two younger brothers, Da Qiao got into the car and left.
This was her first time riding in a car, and she was extremely curious.
She leaned on her breast, touched the leather cushion under her buttocks with her small hands, and touched the glass window after a while, everything was so novel.
The car is fast. It usually takes about two hours to walk, but now it takes half an hour.
The Shen family got up early in the morning and waited. Shen Tianyou also specially changed into new clothes, combed his hair back, and looked at the mirror left and right, thinking that he was extremely handsome!
After getting out of the car, Shen Tianyou rushed up immediately: "Sister Da Qiao, you are finally here, I almost fell asleep waiting for it!"
Da Qiao got out of the car, saw his big back, and said in a daze, "Brother Tianyou, you... don't look the same as before?"
With his chin raised, Shen Tianyou asked confidently, "Sister Da Qiao, do you think I look particularly good-looking today?"
He deliberately stole his father's hair oil to do this hairstyle, he feels that he is the most beautiful boy in the whole street now!
Da Qiao pursed her lips, and said vaguely, "It's pretty."
In fact, she felt that brother Tianyou looked like he was several years older, but he looked expectant, and she was really embarrassed to hurt his self-confidence.
When Shen Tianyou heard this, he immediately became happier: "Sister Da Qiao, you really have the same vision as me! Come in quickly, I will show you my room!"
There are a lot of toys and snacks in his room, and he can't wait to show them to sister Da Qiao, but it's a pity that "Sister Eagle" can't come, otherwise it would be more fun.
Qin Xiaomei slapped her child, and said angrily, "You child, your sister Da Qiao just came here, so let me give you a breather!"
After finishing speaking, she immediately burst into a smile that couldn't be more gentle: "Big Qiao, you've come, godmother misses you so much!"
"I want to be a godmother too." Da Qiao raised her head and said softly, and then politely greeted everyone in the Shen family.
"Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, Godfather, Aunt Shen, hello, I'm Da Qiao, my grandma and I have come to visit Shen's house these two days, I'm really sorry to trouble you!"
Hearing her, a small dumpling, say the words of an adult, everyone was startled for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Seeing everyone laughing, Da Qiao pursed her lips with a shy expression.
Mrs. Shen looked at the little girl in front of her, with pink makeup, big eyes, and red mouth, as exquisite and beautiful as the person in the painting.
She finally understood why the daughter-in-law insisted on recognizing this little girl as her goddaughter. She was good-looking, well-behaved and sweet-mouthed, who wouldn't like it
Da Qiao actually didn't understand why, she drank the water from Yuzhuzi with everyone later, but after drinking it, the effect was obviously much more useful than that of her family.
Qiao Xiuzhi also got out of the car, and the corners of her mouth curled up when she heard Da Qiao's words.
The kid always surprises her.
She handed over the dried goods and fresh vegetables that she had brought, and there was also a double-sided embroidery of blooming rich peonies embroidered by Xue Chuan himself, but it was not framed due to family constraints.
"Aunt Qiao, why are you so polite, just come here!" Qin Xiaomei really didn't expect the other party to be so polite, and when she saw the double-sided embroidery inside, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
The old lady Shen changed her usual slow look, took the double-sided embroidery from her daughter-in-law's hand, and said in admiration: "I haven't seen such exquisite double-sided embroidery for decades!"
The Shen family all went over to look at the double-sided embroidery, and saw that the stitches on it were meticulous and neat, the patterns were exquisite and lifelike, and it was indeed a good work.
After appreciating it, Mrs. Shen pushed it back and said, "This gift is too expensive, sister Xiuzhi, you should take it back, we can't accept it!"
But Qiao Xiuzhi said: "Last time you gave Da Qiao a gold pendant, it's a gift, please accept it."
The gold pendant that Qin Xiaomei took off her son's neck last time was worth a lot of money, but there were so many people present at that time, she couldn't give the double-sided embroidery as a return gift to the Shen family, otherwise the other two daughters-in-law would definitely have objections.
It's just that when people communicate with each other, there must be exchanges. You can't blindly ask one of them to give. This kind of relationship will not last long.
Before Da Qiao came, she didn't know that her grandma had brought such a double-sided embroidery. Now, seeing everyone's expressions, she knew how precious the double-sided embroidery was.
She knew that her grandma did all this for her, and her heart immediately warmed up.
She walked over and took her grandma's hand, and said softly: "Grandma, I really like you so much!"
Qiao Xiuzhi reached out and rubbed her head: "Silly boy."
Although the Shen family had only been in contact with Qiao Xiuzhi two or three times, they knew that she was a one-sided character and never liked falsification, so they hesitated for a while and accepted the double-sided embroidery.
They remembered this friendship, and they will treat Da Qiao even better in the future!
Shen Tianyou didn't know what double-sided embroidery was, so he was anxious to pull Da Qiao in: "Sister Da Qiao, come with me, I'll show you my yard!"
Big Joe was pulled and ran.
There is a courtyard outside the Shen family's four bedrooms and one living room. Although the courtyard is not very big, it is a town. rich.
There was no rockery or anything like that in the yard, it was a capitalist style, and even the Shen family didn't dare to commit crimes against it.
However, there are many flowers planted in the yard, and it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, which is the season when a hundred flowers bloom.
As soon as I entered, I saw layers of colorful flowers laying in front of my eyes, and the fragrance of flowers wafted from my nostrils.
"It's so beautiful!" Da Qiao exclaimed when he saw the flowers in the yard.
Shen Tianyou said very boldly: "My grandfather planted them all, which pot do you like, and you can take it back when you go back!"
There were a few pots of very precious orchids inside, and when Old Man Shen, who was walking behind and followed in, heard his grandson's words, he was so angry that his beard cocked up.
Fortunately, Da Qiao is not a shallow-sighted person, he repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No need, I'll just take a look."
Seeing that Da Qiao was not a bear, Mr. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and said, "Little girl, if you like it, I'll get you some seeds later, and you can try planting them at home."
He was just talking casually at first, after all, such a young child is impatient to grow flowers and plants.
Unexpectedly, Da Qiao really thought about it seriously: "Grandpa Shen, what kind of flowers are better to support?"
There is only one pear tree planted in the yard at home, which is a bit monotonous. If we can plant some flowers and plants, it will definitely look good!
Mr. Shen stroked his beard and thought for a while, "Jasmine is good, and bitter rose is also good. If these two kinds of flowers are planted well, the buds can be dried to make scented tea."
Da Qiao's eyes lit up: "Grandpa Shen, then I will plant these two kinds of flowers, thank you!"
"Take this place as your own home in the future, so you don't have to be so polite."
There has always been only one grandson in the family, and now a delicate, soft, well-behaved and sensible girl suddenly came, and the indestructible heart of Mr. Shen suddenly softened.
Although old man Shen is not in good health, he can speak loudly. Since Shen Tianyou was born, he has gotten used to his grandfather talking to him with a loud voice.
At this moment, he suddenly heard his grandfather speaking in a low and gentle voice, which made him stagger in fright, and almost fell like a dog eating shit!
Terrible, after his mother's aunt was out of order, now it's his grandpa's turn!
Fortunately, he is simple-minded, and he will not be jealous of Da Qiao because of this. On the contrary, he is very happy because his family likes Da Qiao.
Shen Tianyou took Da Qiao to look around, introduced her to the Shen family's courtyard and Shen's room, and then took her to his own room, and shared with her all the candies and biscuits that he had prepared earlier in the morning.
At the end, he still held a small toy eagle and said, "Sister Daqiao, do you think this looks very similar to 'Sister Eagle'?"
Da Qiao had never seen an eagle before, so he asked honestly, "What kind of animal is this?"
"This is an eagle, that's why I asked you if it is very similar to Miss Ying, right?" Shen Tianyou flew around with the eagle.
Da Qiao was stunned: "..."
She really couldn't see how the second cousin was similar to this eagle.
Shen Tianyou didn't need her to answer, he stuffed the eagle into her hand when he was done playing, and said, "You take the eagle back to me, Sister Ying, and say that it was her younger brother's honor to her!"
Big Joe almost burst out laughing.
Even filial piety has come out, it's very deep into the drama!
Qiao Xiuzhi had seen the wealth of the Shen family last time, especially after comparing it with the Chu family, she became more aware of it.
Chu Tianbai is the deputy county magistrate of Nanshan County, and his position surpasses that of Shen Shikai, the deputy director of the police station, but Chu Tianbai only lives in the courtyard of the government's family members, living in a house with two bedrooms and one living room, obviously no comparison with the Shen family.
After exchanging pleasantries, Qiao Xiuzhi asked them about the prices of houses in the town.
Qin Xiaomei heard the words and asked: "Aunt Qiao, do you want to buy a house in the town? How big do you want to buy?"
It would be a good thing if the Qiao family wanted to move to the town, and she would be able to see Da Qiao often in the future.
It's just that the Qiao family has a large population. If you want to buy it, you have to buy at least five rooms, right
In fact, there is no room for five rooms, only one room for one room. Adults and children are all crowded together. It will definitely be very inconvenient. The key is that if all the Qiao family moves to the town, what will they do for a living
As far as she knew, Qiao Zhenmin was the only one in the Qiao family who worked as a temporary worker in the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. If the others came up, would they all be supported by him
Although she had a lot of questions in her heart, she didn't ask them out. After all, the two families were not very familiar with each other.
Qiao Xiuzhi didn't intend to hide it either: "We're going to buy a single room. If it's cheap, we can buy a small two-bedroom house. After the house is bought, it will be recorded in the name of Da Qiao's child."
The Shen family was shocked when they heard this.
Although the Shen family is not a family that favors sons over daughters, they can raise their sons to guard against old age. No matter which family they are in, their sons will take care of them in the future, unless there are no sons.
So Qiao Xiuzhi bought a house and recorded it under the name of his son, or the name of his only grandson. They didn't find it strange, but it was too strange to record it under the name of his granddaughter, right
And if the rest of the Qiao family knew about it, wouldn't they have any thoughts
Qiao Xiuzhi would not explain the matter of the century-old Ganoderma lucidum to them, but said lightly: "I have already discussed this matter with my family. I should have bought it some time ago, but the small bowl disappeared at that time, so it was delayed. Now."
After hearing what she meant, the Shen family was very understanding and didn't get to the bottom of it.
Qin Xiaomei thought for a while and said, "I have a cousin who happens to be working in the house management. I'll call him later and ask him if there is any suitable house."
Qiao Xiuzhi expressed her gratitude: "It's really troublesome for you, but there is no need to worry about this matter, Da Qiao is not very old now."
Talking and laughing, it will soon be time for lunch.
The Shen family was still very enthusiastic and prepared a large table of delicious dishes to greet them.
There are Kung Pao Chicken, Potato Braised Duck, Sauce Knuckle, Shrimp Stir-Fried Chinese Cabbage, Vegetarian Stir-Fried Three Delicacy, and a big pot of old hen ginseng soup.
Shen Tianyou jumped back and forth excitedly: "Sister Da Qiao, it would be great if you came here every day, so that I can eat so many delicious food every day!"
Hearing his childish words, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Qin Xiaomei likes Da Qiao very much. She knew it was impossible, but she couldn't help asking her, "Da Qiao, do you like this place?"
Da Qiao blinked her long eyelashes, and said softly: "I like it, the house here is very beautiful, there is running water, and electric lights, and the flowers in the yard are also very beautiful!"
Running water and electricity have been popularized in the town, but not in the countryside, so this is the first time Da Qiao has seen what running water and electricity are, which greatly opened the eyes of her bumpkin!
Qin Xiaomei asked while it was hot: "Then you move to the town to live with your godmother?"
Da Qiao shook her head, and the two small bags on her head swayed back and forth with her movements: "I like everyone very much, but I still want to live with my parents, grandparents, and I can't see them. I'm going to be very sad."
Qin Xiaomei had always liked the little girl, seeing that Da Qiao was so good-looking, well-behaved and sensible, she wished to hide her and never let her leave.
It would be great if Da Qiao was her daughter qaq.
—
After eating, Qin Xiaomei and Shen Linlin took Da Qiao and Shen Tianyou to the department store for shopping.
Qiao Xiuzhi also went together.
Summer is coming, and she wants to buy some fabrics to go back and make some clothes for Xue Chuan. As for the others, she has given them 20 yuan per room to buy by themselves, so she doesn't worry about that!
When they came to the department store, accompanied by the Shen family, the attitude of the salesperson was completely different from last time, with a warm smile on his face.
Several salespersons even recognized Qiao Xiuzhi, mainly because what happened last time was so memorable.
One arm lifted a cabinet that only three men could move. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it even if they were killed!
Fortunately, she was the one who made the move. Otherwise, if someone died, those men who moved the goods would be finished!
Qin Xiaomei really treated Da Qiao as her daughter, first took her to buy some stationery, and then bought her a set or two of books, such as "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and other series of books.
Then take her to a counter that sells ready-to-wear.
There are ready-made clothes in department stores, but the styles are not good-looking, and there are even fewer children's clothes, only one or two styles.
Qin Xiaomei was very dissatisfied after seeing it, but still bought two sets: "You can wear these two sets casually, and I will ask my cousin to send some sets back in Beijing later."
Da Qiao saw that the godmother had already bought a lot of things for her, so she quickly waved her little hand and said, "No need for godmother, I have enough clothes, don't buy me any more, I will be embarrassed."
Qin Xiaomei loved her appearance as a little adult, reached out and pinched her little face and said: "Godmother likes to buy for you!"
Inadvertently, Qin Xiaomei said something that the domineering president of later generations would especially like to say.
When the salesmen around heard this, they all looked at Da Qiao enviously.
At first, I thought it was her own daughter, but I didn't expect it to be just a goddaughter. This little girl's luck is too good, right
Shen Tianyou watched her buy it for sister Da Qiao, and he was not jealous, but would give advice from time to time.
More importantly, he always remembers to "respect" his elder sister Da Ying. He saw that the red and green dress her mother bought for Da Qiao's sister looked pretty, so he planned to spend his pocket money and give it to him. The eldest sister Ying also bought one.
Qin Xiaomei thought that the girls in Qiao's family would not need to pay for them, so she bought three sets of big, medium and small ones for the three girls of Qiao's family to wear.
Coming out of the department store, when she got in the car, Da Qiao saw someone who looked like her fourth aunt in front of her, but the two of them happened to walk past, blocking her view.
Qiao Xiuzhi pushed her lightly and said, "Go in quickly, why are you in a daze?"
Then she hurriedly got in and waited until she got into the car to look again, but there was no sign of her fourth aunt.
After the car drove away, on the street opposite the department store, Qiao Hongmei was wearing a pink skirt with lipstick on her lips.
It's just that her skin is very dark, which is really not suitable for such a fresh and tender color as pink. Wearing it on her body not only did not make her look young, but revealed all her shortcomings.
It's just that she didn't realize it, and thought that passers-by on the road looked at her because she was beautifully dressed, so she raised her chin even higher.
Chen Laidi looked at the department store opposite and said, "Mom, I seem to have seen Da Qiao and grandma just now."
Qiao Hongmei was stunned for a moment and said, "Where is it?"
Chen Laidi said: "They left in a car."
Qiao Hongmei's face darkened, she reached out to poke her second daughter's forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? The Qiao family's muddy legs, how could they be ordered to ride in a car?"
Chen Laidi was poked by her mother and turned her head to the side. She wanted to say that she was right, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt unsure.
Just now, seeing that little girl's skin was as white as the white clouds in the sky, wearing a light blue dress, she was so beautiful that she felt deeply inferior.
Although Da Qiao's skin is very white, it doesn't seem to be that white, and just like her mother said, Da Qiao stays in a place full of chicken shit in the countryside, how can he have the opportunity to meet such a rich family
So, it must be that she was mistaken.
Qiao Hongmei's good mood was suddenly ruined because her second daughter mentioned Qiao's family.
She went home twice to borrow money, and was kicked out by her mother twice, she couldn't swallow this tone no matter what!
And every time she came back from Qiao's house, she encountered particularly unlucky things.
The first time I was besieged by aeded mosquitoes, my face was full of bruises, and I went to the hospital because of it. The second time I broke my forehead, I went to the hospital for a few stitches, and now I still have a scar on my forehead.
The mother-in-law and her husband were very dissatisfied with the fact that she failed to get the money back twice and spent a lot of money on the family. Her husband has not touched her for more than two months.
She really hated her mother!
That old bastard, is she happy only when she sees her divorce
After shopping, Qin Xiaomei was afraid that Da Qiao would be hungry, so she took her to the state-run restaurant to eat.
It's not time for meals now, the state-run restaurant only has a little chef and a waitress in it.
Both of them looked bored, and the little master inside was nodding his head, as if he was about to fall asleep.
When the waitress Wang Nier saw someone coming in, she pulled her face and curled her lips, "One or two don't wink, what are you doing here before dinner time?"
But when she saw Qin Xiaomei's outfit and glanced at the car outside, the expression on her face changed immediately.
These days, she can't offend anyone who can afford a car!
Because it wasn't a meal, many things couldn't be ordered, and everyone had to go back to Shen's house to finish their meal, so they only ordered two bowls of noodles and two bowls of sweet potato syrup, and everyone shared them.
Da Qiao ate the sweet sweet potato syrup, and planned to go back and make some purses for the godmothers. The Shen family was really kind to her.
Coming out of the state-run hotel, the car drove away immediately after Qiao Xiuzhi got in the car, so they didn't see a man in front of the state-run hotel staring at the car with a shocked expression on his face.
It took Chen Xing a long time to recover from the shock, and immediately rushed into the state-run hotel, pulled Wang Nier and asked, "Who was that person who left just now?"
Wang Nier gave him an angry look and said, "I don't know who they are, but they came here in a car, so they must be no ordinary people!"
Chen Xing asked anxiously: "Among the few people who came in, is there a tall woman in her 40s or 50s, dressed as if she came from the country?"
Wang Nier pouted: "That's right, that woman looks like a countryman at first glance, and she is definitely not from the same family as that young woman, so I don't know what their relationship is, Brother Xing, have you seen them?"
It doesn't look like a poor relative, after all, the woman is very polite and respectful to the country woman.
Chen Xing didn't answer, he narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.
He wasn't sure just now, but now he is sure that he is not dazzled, and the one in the car is his mother-in-law, Qiao Xiuzhi!
It's just that shouldn't his mother-in-law be farming in the countryside
How could he come to the town and get involved with such a family
It seems that he has to find a time to let his wife go back to the village to inquire about it.
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't answer her words, Wang Nier immediately pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xing, he is talking to you, why are you ignoring him?"
Chen Xing came back to his senses, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he reached out to touch her little hand and said, "My baby, why am I willing to ignore you?"
Wang Nier twisted her body and said in a coquettish voice: "Brother Xing, you said you wanted to marry me, so when will you divorce that ugly woman?"
Chen Xing laughed and said, "Wait a while, don't worry, I will give you an explanation."
Wang Nier was very dissatisfied with this answer, but this is not the place to talk, so she could only say: "Then you can't touch that woman, understand? You can only belong to me!"
Chen Xing smiled wretchedly: "Don't worry, my darling, I only belong to you!"
Wang Nier gave him an angry look with a coquettish look on her face.
—
On the day Da Qiao went to town, Wang Laoer returned to the village with a look of hesitation: "Brother, fifth brother is gone!"
When Wang Shuisheng saw his second brother coming back alone, he knew something was wrong.
Hearing his words, his face darkened and he said: "Please explain clearly, what do you mean that the fifth brother is missing? Did he run away?"
If that's the case, he'd better run away and never come back for the rest of his life, or he'll break his leg!
Wang Laoer shook his head: "I didn't escape, we..."
Three days ago, according to his elder brother's orders, he took his fifth younger brother Wang Xinsheng out of the village to go to the army.
They came to the county seat by car and were going to take the train, but the train was late, and the flight attendant said it would take an hour or two for the train to arrive, so Wang Xinsheng suggested going for a walk.
Because it was still daytime, he felt that it was okay to go out for a walk, and he felt uncomfortable staying at the train station for an hour or two.
Wang Xinsheng walked to the river near the train station.
That river is known as the Little Yellow River. The water in it is deep and turbid, and the river is turbulent. It is said that many people slipped and fell and did not survive.
He felt that the fifth brother was standing too close to the river, and was about to ask him to come over when he suddenly turned around.
"Second brother, I know I'm just a bastard. Not to mention I'm too lazy to do things, and I have brought such a disaster to the family. I really wish I could kill that woman Fang Xiaojuan! But what the elder brother said is right, if I really kill her, My family will suffer because of me in the future!"
When Wang Xinsheng said this, his expression was sometimes remorseful, and sometimes he gritted his teeth.
He had no doubt that if Fang Xiaojuan was in front of him, she would be stabbed to death by him!
Wang Laoer was also dissatisfied with what the fifth brother did, but he was always stupid, so he just said in a low voice: "Forget what has happened, come here quickly, let's go back to the station."
Wang Xinsheng didn't move, and continued: "Fang Xiaojuan's woman is a cancer. As long as she holds the handle of our Wang family, our Wang family will be threatened and ordered by her. I don't want to live like that forever for the rest of my life! Second brother, After I'm gone, my parents will ask you and my brothers to take care of me..."
Wang Er Er felt something was wrong when he heard this, and said with a flustered face, "Fifth, what are you talking about? The second brother doesn't blame you anymore, come here quickly!"
"I was very happy to hear my second brother say that before I died!"
After finishing speaking, before Wang Laoer rushed over, he turned around and plunged into the river.
The river was deep and fast, and several gushes came over, quickly submerging his figure!
Wang Laoer's legs gave way, and he fell to the ground on the spot.
He wanted to jump down to find someone, but was stopped by a passing person.
When the other party heard that his brother had jumped into the river, he shook his head and said that he could not be rescued, and told him to go to the police station to call the police.
With a pale face, Wang Lao Er went to report to the police. The police at the police station were very responsible and took two small policemen to the river to find someone on the spot.
But after searching for a whole day, I couldn't find anything!
The police told him that in all likelihood, the person was gone, and the body might not be found back. They would ask the dirty side to pay attention to see if there were any dead bodies floating there recently.
The police also told him not to wait in the county, but to go back and inform his family.
Wang Lao Er returned to Qili Village with a pale face and soft legs.
When Wang Shuisheng heard this, he fell down on the chair and couldn't say a word for a long time.
He hated Wang Xinsheng for causing so much trouble to the family, and he also hated his parents for spoiling him like this, but no matter how bad he was, he was also his own brother, and he never thought of killing him!
Wang Laoer trembled his lips and said, "Brother, what should I do about this matter?"
Wang Shuisheng choked up his voice after a long time and said: "If the body has not been found, the person may be gone. Don't tell the matter first, I will arrange the matter, and then I will go to the county with you tomorrow to find someone!"
When Wang Laoer came back, many villagers saw it, and it was impossible to hide it from the Wang family.
So Wang Shuisheng told his family that it was Wang Laoer who had lost the letter of introduction and came back specially to ask him to open another one. As for Wang Xinsheng, he stayed at a friend's house in Laosan County.
When the Wang family heard that the letter of introduction had been lost, they didn't ask any further questions, but Wang's second child had a strange expression on his face, and was tricked out by his wife that night.
Wang's second son's wife didn't speak for a long time after she found out that Wang Xinsheng jumped into the river, and she always had a bad premonition in her heart, she felt that the sky was about to collapse.
It would be fine if Wang Xinsheng could be found. If not, would her mother-in-law be able to bear it
Wang Shuisheng handed over the matter to the deputy captain, the accountant, and the scorekeeper, and then hurried to the county with his second brother.
After searching for people in the county for a day, the police station sent someone to inform them that Wang Xinsheng's body was found!
When Wang Shuisheng heard what the police said, his eyes darkened, and he swayed a bit: "Comrade police, are you sure that the corpse is my brother?"
The little policeman said: "It's just that you are not sure, so you need your family members to confirm! However, the clothes and characteristics of the corpse are very consistent with the information you left when you called the police, so it is very likely that it is your family members, so hurry up and follow me." Bar!"
Two brothers, one with a pale face and the other with dangling legs came to the morgue where they ran out.
When Wang Laoer saw the corpse, he rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.
The corpse was wearing the same clothes that Wang Xinsheng wore the day he jumped into the river!
Wang Shuisheng's heart sank again and again, and he couldn't sink to the bottom at all. With trembling hands, he walked over to identify the corpse.
After several days of soaking, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, the corpse has already been swollen, and the facial features are completely deformed. If it weren't for the clothes, and the similar height and shape, it really wouldn't be obvious at all.
Wang Shuisheng endured his nausea and went to the left eyebrow of the corpse, only to find that a large piece of flesh was missing there.
He raised his head and asked the little policeman standing at the door: "Comrade policeman, what's the matter with the wound on this corpse?"
There is a big scar on Wang Xinsheng's left eyebrow, even if it is swollen, it should still leave a mark.
The little policeman said: "The body has been floating in the river for several days. It may hit the stones by the river, or it may be eaten by fish. Please confirm quickly, is this person your brother?"
Wang Shuisheng frowned, he wanted to say, why did he hurt the left eyebrow
But the clothes matched, the height and body type matched, he couldn't lie to himself that this corpse wasn't Wang Xinsheng!
Under the watchful eyes of the little policeman, he nodded with difficulty: "It should be my brother."
The little policeman said: "Don't say it should or shouldn't, yes it is, no it is no, please answer it again, is it right?"
Wang Shuisheng nodded with a pale face: "Yes!"
"That's all right, come out and sign, and then quickly take the body back!" The little policeman turned and walked out after finishing speaking.
When Wang Shuisheng saw the policeman leave, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice!
If he hadn't forced Fifth Brother to leave, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
He pinched his second brother awake with a blank face, and then the two went through the formalities.
After searching in the county for a long time, there was no car willing to carry the corpse. Finally, with the help of the small police, a tractor was found to carry the corpse back to the village at a high price.
The two brothers were sitting on the tractor with the same sadness and bewilderment on their faces. How should they tell their parents about this when they go back
—
On the second day after going to town, Qiao Xiuzhi followed Qin Xiaomei to the housing management office to look at the house.
There are a few rooms in the house, but none of them are suitable.
Either it is too expensive, or too old, or the location is too remote, in short, no one is satisfactory in all aspects.
Qiao Xiuzhi is not in a hurry, she won't buy it if there is no suitable one, anyway, Da Qiao is only seven years old now, and she will definitely find a suitable house before she grows up.
Seeing that she hadn't found a suitable house, Qin Xiaomei said she would keep an eye out for her.
Not all the houses in the town are sold through the housing management office, some of them are sold by themselves. In this way, the houses are sold through the word of mouth of acquaintances.
Qiao Xiuzhi thanked her, and took Da Qiao back to Qili Village in a car the next afternoon.
The villagers were very envious when they saw Da Qiao coming back in new clothes and carrying big bags!
"Oh, this goddaughter who is the deputy director is different, she looks just like the people in the city!"
"Don't tell me, Da Qiao really looks more and more blessed! She used to stutter, and Qiao's second child was paralyzed. Everyone thought it would be difficult for her to find a husband when she grew up, but now, not only stutters Well, Qiao's second leg is also good, and more importantly, she has become the goddaughter of the deputy director, tsk tsk tsk, this luck is so enviable!"
"Big Joe, my aunt is as old as you, shall I ask her to come and play with you in the future?"
"My Erni is also about the same age, you two will go to school together in the future, if you get used to playing in the future, by the way, take my Erni to your godfather's house to play!"
Those who let their daughters play with Da Qiao are the same people who thought Da Qiao was a disaster and told their children not to play with her.
Da Qiao pursed his lips and said nothing.
She has a personality like her father, gentle and doesn't like to piss people off, but that doesn't mean she's a fool.
She knew that these people didn't really want to be friends with her, but they liked her as the deputy director's daughter.
Qiao Xiuzhi took a cool look at these people, and said coldly: "If I remember correctly, didn't you say that Da Qiao was a scourge, born with bad luck, and told your children not to play with Da Qiao? Why did you change your mind so quickly? gone?"
Those people didn't expect Qiao Xiuzhi to embarrass them in front of so many people, and their faces turned red and white with anger.
Someone apologized and said with a smile: "Aunt Xiuzhi, those words are all nonsense, don't take it to heart!"
"Yes, yes, back then we were blind and believed what Da Qiao's mother said, and now we know we were wrong!"
Someone said bitterly: "Damn! Isn't it just being the goddaughter of the deputy director, what's so great about it? You have the ability to make people spoil you for the rest of your life!"
"That's not to say, maybe after a while, people will forget about having such a goddaughter!"
Qiao Xiuzhi felt that explaining to this group of idiots was a waste of time: "Go in, everyone. When you see these idiots in the future, try to stay away from them, or you will easily be fooled by them!"
Qiao Dongying felt that her milk was too rough, so she responded loudly: "If we know about milk, we will cherish life and stay away from idiots!"
Anping thought his sister's words were interesting, so he also shouted: "Cherish life, stay away from fools!"
The two sisters, Da Qiao and Qiao Donghe, looked at each other and shouted.
Those women were trembling with anger!
If Qiao Xiuzhi's fist wasn't too hard, they would have rushed to tear their mouths apart!
After the Qiao family entered, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Only then did Xiao Qiao come out from behind a big tree with a thoughtful expression on his face.
