The Shen family came here first in the morning.
As soon as the car entered the production team, it immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really enviable that the relatives of the Qiao family are here again!"
"This is life, I can't be envious! According to me, Da Qiao didn't go to the Shanghai stock market with Fang Xiaojuan, which is actually pretty good. Fang Xiaojuan used to treat that child so badly. If she is taken away, who knows what will happen to her?" What about the children?"
"It's true, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, even if he is beaten to death, the Qiao family has no way of knowing!"
Qiao Xiuzhi saw someone from the Shen family, so she and Xue Chuan went to ask the production team leader for leave.
The Wang family and the Qiao family are considered half-in-law, so Wang Shuisheng naturally approved it happily.
Arriving at Qiao's old home, Qin Xiaomei immediately looked left and right to find Da Qiao's figure after getting out of the car: "Where's Da Qiao's child? She doesn't live in the old home, right?"
Just as Qiao Xiuzhi was about to shake her head, she saw Da Qiao carrying a small bucket, followed by three followers.
"Ouch, my sweetheart, come and give my godmother a hug, my godmother misses you so much!" Qin Xiaomei smiled brightly.
"Godmother, why are you here? I miss you too!"
Da Qiao flew over, and then Qin Xiaomei hugged her and kissed her little cheek fiercely, her cheeks were soon flushed.
Seeing his wife's appearance, Shen Shikai couldn't bear to look directly at him and shook his head: "Look, you've turned the child's face red, such a big person doesn't know how serious it is!"
Da Qiao smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said softly: "Godfather, don't talk about godmother, I don't hurt at all!"
In fact, it really doesn't hurt. Qin Xiaomei loves her so much, so she naturally knows the severity of the attack, but her skin is too tender, and it will turn red with a little force.
Qin Xiaomei raised her head and gave her husband a white look, then hummed and said, "Did you hear that? The children said it's okay, but you're actually jealous of me, right?"
Although Shen Shikai is Da Qiao's godfather in name, but to put it bluntly, the two are not related by blood, so he never hugs or kisses Da Qiao, at most he rubs the child's hair.
Seeing his wife's mischievous appearance, Shen Shikai couldn't help shaking his head and laughing again, but his eyes were full of doting.
"Sister Da Qiao, what are you going to do with the keg?" Shen Tianyou squeezed over and asked curiously.
I haven't seen him for a month or two, and he seems to have gained a lot of weight.
Da Qiao sized him up and said, "We're going to catch loaches, brother God bless, are you going?"
"I want to! I haven't caught loach yet!" Shen Tianyou's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, "By the way, where is my sister Ying? Why didn't I see anyone?"
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao would be there, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Dongying coming out of the old courtyard with two beard cages in his hand.
The beard cage is made of bamboo strips, about 30 to 40 centimeters long, and the end is made into a tapered funnel shape. This kind of beard cage can also be used to catch eels in the past.
"Sister Ying, I miss you so much!" Shen Tianyou saw his boss running over like a dog, and even took out all the white rabbit milk candies he brought from home.
Qiao Dongying only took one, and then asked him to separate the toffee from the others, and looked him up and down and said, "Why do you feel that you have gained a lot of weight? I think you should stop eating candy!"
When Shen Tianyou heard this, not only was he not unhappy, but he nodded his head like a chicken: "Sister Ying is right, I won't eat sweets from now on!"
Qin Xiaomei felt her eyes hurt when she saw her son's unpromising dogleg appearance, but then again, if she could really make him eat less sweets, she would really have to thank her later.
After getting the consent of the adults, several children set out to catch loaches.
Da Qiao walked halfway, and said to everyone: "I still have to find a little friend, you go to the river first, and we will go to find you soon."
Knowing that she was going to find Huo Chi, Qiao Donghe didn't say anything, and took the initiative to hold her three followers.
The three followers had teary eyes, and Xiao Yiming blinked his eyes and said, "Sister Da Qiao, you must come!"
The other two henchmen nodded their heads: "You want to come!"
Seeing this, Qiao Dongying couldn't help but rolled her eyes at the sky. If someone who didn't know saw it, they would think it was some kind of large-scale parting scene!
Da Qiao squeezed the faces of the three little dumplings, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, sister will be there soon, you have to obediently listen to other brothers and sisters, understand?"
"Understood, we will be very good." The three little ones said in unison.
After parting, Da Qiao went to the pigsty to find Brother Huo Chi,
In the past, the Huo family was not only responsible for shoveling pig manure, but also for cleaning other cesspools. When the farming was busy, they had to go to the fields to help, and there was no free time from morning till night.
But after Huo Chi showed everyone the way last time and helped plant Chinese herbal medicines, now the Huo family only needs to be responsible for the work of the pigsty and guide the planting of Chinese herbal medicines, and they don't need them for other things. Compared with before, it is easier a lot.
When Da Qiao passed by, Huo Chi was helping his grandfather shovel pig manure. She looked at it and was about to sneak away, but Huo Huaqing called out to her.
"The daughter of Qiao's family, why did she leave without making a sound when she came?"
Hearing his grandfather's words, Huo Chi raised his head to see Da Qiao, immediately put down the shovel in his hand, and washed his hands before walking over: "Why are you here? Did you need me for something?"
Seeing that he had been discovered, Da Qiao had no choice but to turn around and said with a smile, "Hi, Grandpa Huo, I originally wanted to come over and ask Brother Huo Chi if he wanted to go catch loach with us, but I saw that Brother Huo Chi was busy, so he I don't want to bother him."
"Chi'er, go and play. There's not much work here. Grandpa can do it by himself."
Huo Huaqing liked the girl in front of him very much. She was fair-looking and extremely kind-hearted. If it weren't for her, the old man like him might have died of illness before. Thanks to her, Chi'er was able to systematically study the knowledge in the textbook.
Huo Chi hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait for me, I'll go there with you after I shovel the rest of the pig manure."
Da Qiao nodded with a smile, and went to talk to Grandpa Huo while waiting for Brother Huo Chi.
—
Qiao's old home.
After Shen Shikai sat down, he cut to the chase and said, "I've already heard about Brother Qiao's dismissal from my father. I wanted to make a deal of it, but the guy surnamed Qiu didn't want to let go."
Qiu Xinyong was worried that his nephew's promiscuity would spread to the woman's family, so he preemptively ordered the food factory to fire Qiao Zhenjun and confine the Qiao family to the countryside, so that they would not have the opportunity to gossip.
If they hadn't been married to the Shen family, and Qiao Hongxia was engaged to Wang Yansheng, he wouldn't have been so gentle, maybe the Qiao family would have been ruined because of this!
Qiao Xiuzhi didn't expect the Shen family to come here specially for this matter, and she was very grateful in her heart: "I made you worry, but you don't care about this matter, I'm afraid it will drag you down!"
Qin Xiaomei said: "What is Aunt Xiuzhi talking about? We are a family, your affairs are our affairs, but the surname Qiu has great power in the town, we can't pull him down for a while, we can only I have wronged you!"
Qiao Zhenmin was the most aggrieved about this matter. Not only could he not be angry after wearing such a big green hat, but now he had to involve his family, he was afraid he would go crazy!
Shen Shikai nodded and said, "Fifth brother Qiao, I know you have been wronged, but your arm can't twist your thigh, and you offended the Tian family. It will be the Qiao family who will suffer at that time, so this matter must not be acted on by emotion, and must be considered long-term!"
Qiao Zhenmin nodded with an ugly face: "Don't worry, I won't mess around!"
When the incident happened, he really wanted to die with that adulterer, but he was woken up by his mother's slap in the face.
He is not alone, he has a family and a daughter, if he acts impulsively, he will only bring danger to his family in the end!
So he endured this tone, he didn't believe that the surnamed Qiu could still be domineering for a lifetime, if he could really cover the sky with one hand for a lifetime, then he could only be said to be too unlucky!
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from outside: "Excuse me, is this Qiao Zhenmin's house?"
Qiao Zhenmin was startled when he heard this voice, and stood up suddenly: "Why do I hear this voice like the eldest brother of the Chu family?"
Qiao Xiuzhi said: "It sounds like me too, you should go out and have a look."
Qiao Zhenmin said hello, turned around and ran out.
Qin Xiaomei said: "The Chu family you are talking about, shouldn't it be the Chu family that adopted Xiao Wan'er?"
Qiao Xiuzhi nodded: "It's the Chu family, but I don't know if it's them."
It takes a few days to get here from Nanshan County, which is very inconvenient, and now it is not a festival, they can't figure out why the Chu family will come here.
Qiao Zhenmin ran out and saw Chu Tianbai standing at the door, his eyes lit up and he smiled happily, "Brother Chu, why are you here?"
When Chu Tianbai saw Qiao Zhenmin, he also burst into a smile: "It's the right place! We came here this time for Shengmei's wedding. We thought we didn't have time to come here, so we didn't say hello to you in advance, but this time Dong Xue has been talking about Xiaowaner for two days, and it doesn’t feel good if she doesn’t sleep, so she had to come over.”
Qiao Zhenmin hurriedly welcomed the Chu family in.
This time, besides Chu Tianbai and his wife, Chu Shengmei and her fiancé Du Zhuocheng came here.
Du Zhuocheng looked to be about twenty-four or five years old, gentle and gentle, his body was a little thin, and his face looked a little pale, in short, he didn't look like he was in a particularly good shape.
However, the two men are talented and beautiful, so they are a good match.
As soon as Dong Xue came in, she immediately looked for Xiao Wan'er: "Where is Xiao Wan'er? Isn't she at home?"
When Xiao Wan'er was taken away by Qiao's family, she really didn't enjoy eating and drinking. Every time she took a photo of Xiao Wan'er with them, she felt empty.
The schedule is actually very tight this time, but she really misses Xiao Wan'er so much, if she can't see her, she will definitely suffer from insomnia again when she goes back.
Thinking of his daughter, Qiao Zhenmin smiled brightly: "Xiao Wan'er went to catch loaches with her brothers and sisters, and I'll bring her back later."
When Dong Xue heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Xiao Wan'er is willing to play with other children?"
Qiao Zhenmin nodded, and said proudly: "After Xiao Wan'er came back, under the care of her brothers and sisters, her temper has become a lot more cheerful, and now she can occasionally answer other people's questions!"
Chu Tianbai and Dong Xue were surprised.
They also heard about Xiao Waner’s situation from friends. They knew that he had a mental developmental disorder called autism, which was very difficult to treat. He would probably live in his own world all his life, unable to communicate with other people normally.
I didn't expect that there would be such a big change after only half a year since I came back. This is really happy and exciting news. This trip really came at the right time!
However, Qiao Zhenmin didn't mention his wife when he opened his mouth a few times, so I'm afraid there might be something wrong with it.
Chu Tianbai and his wife looked at each other, politely chose not to puncture.
Entering the main room, the Shen family saw the Chu family and stood up too.
Although Shen Chu's two headed men and women have never met each other, Chu Shengmei is Shen Linlin's friend. They have gone to play at home before, and with the matter of Xiao Wan'er, the family members all know each other's existence, so at this moment See each other, do not feel strange.
After exchanging pleasantries, Qiao's family and Shen's family saw that Chu Shengmei was getting married soon, congratulated her and asked when the banquet would be held.
Chu Shengmei's cheeks were stained with crimson blush, and she said shyly: "The banquet is scheduled for September, you must come to attend then!"
Du Zhuocheng works in Nanshan County, but his family is in Baocheng County, so the banquet will be at the man's side.
Both the Qiao family and the Shen family hurriedly said they would definitely go.
Qiao Zhenmin stood up and said, "Sit down first, I'll go and bring the little bowl back."
As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Du Zhuocheng: "The fifth brother of the Qiao family, let me go with you."
Qiao Zhenmin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, you probably seldom come to the countryside, so it's not bad to take this opportunity to walk around."
Chu Shengmei also stood up after hearing the words, saying that she wanted to see her.
Qiao Zhenmin naturally wouldn't refuse, so the three of them went out together.
As soon as the three of them left, Shen Shikai was a little embarrassed.
He was halfway through what he said just now, and now that the Chu family is here, even though Qiao Zhenmin and the Chu family have made a marriage obeisance, after all, this matter involves a man's face, so he naturally can't make the decision and leak it out without authorization.
However, Qiao Xiuzhi asked him to continue to say that this matter was not the fault of the fifth child, there was no need to hide it, and it must be more important to find a countermeasure against the Tian family and the Qiu family than face.
So soon, the Chu family knew what happened to the Qiao family recently, and they were shocked and angry after hearing about it.
Dong Xue gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "It's really deceiving! But a deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, does he really think that he can cover the sky with one hand for the rest of his life?"
Chu Tianbai frowned and said, "Brother Shen Shi, what solution did you think of for this matter?"
Shen Shikai nodded: "Qiu Xinyong is so arrogant, he will kill people at every turn. If he behaves like this, he must have offended many people over the years, and there must be many people who want to kill him. Recently, I have had people quietly Collect his criminal evidence, and then find a way to report it to the higher authorities!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianbai nodded his head: "This is a good way, I'm afraid someone above will protect him!"
Otherwise, how could the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee in a town have done evil for many years, but nothing happened
Shen Shikai frowned and said, "You're right, they and the magistrate of Baocheng County will soon be in-laws, and the vice-governor also heard that they are related to him, but I can't find out the details."
Chu Tianbai thought for a while and said: "I also have some contacts here. After I go back, I will find someone to clear it up. We work together. I don't believe that we can't kill this bastard!"
Qiao Xiuzhi and Xue Chuan were very moved when they saw that their family spared no effort to plan for the Qiao family.
Xue Chuan stood up and went out to ask his eldest son to bring back some meat, preparing to cook for the two families at noon.
—
Qiao Zhenmin led Chu Shengmei and Du Zhuocheng to the stream.
The last time Chu Shengmei came to the production team, she left quickly. She didn't have time to appreciate the scenery. Now she looked around curiously.
When passing by the field, the villagers saw Qiao Zhenmin walking over with two strange men and women. The men and women were not from the country by their appearance and temperament, and they became curious.
"Qiao Laowu, is this your relative? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Qiao Zhenmin passed by vaguely, and didn't intend to tell everyone the true identity of the Chu family, let alone let everyone know that they recognized Xiao Wan'er as their goddaughter.
After they walked over, everyone was talking while working.
"The Qiao family is really different. The deputy director came here in the morning, and now the relatives from the city are here again. Tsk tsk tsk, I really envy the dead!"
"Let's not talk about Qiao's family, Fang's family is better off too? You see, Fang Xiaojuan doesn't even go to work in the fields now. She is planning to raise some whites to become officials' wives in the city!"
"By the way, do you know why Qiao Lao Wu divorced his wife? I've been asking people for a long time, but I didn't find out any information!"
"If you say that, I really don't know!"
"That's right, why did they want to divorce? They didn't get divorced when Xiao Wan'er was lost, but now that the children have been back for so long, why did Hao Duanduan want to divorce?"
Everyone couldn't help but speculate, and some even suspected that the matter had something to do with Tian Jianming. Otherwise, Chen Qiaoqiao would divorce soon after Tian Jianming left. It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it
It's just that when someone mentioned that Tian Jianming's uncle was the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, and that his fiancée was the county magistrate's niece, no one dared to talk nonsense anymore.
When passing by the door of Fang Xiaojuan's thatched hut, Fang Xiaojuan just came out of the house, and seeing Qiao Zhenmin and the three of them, she couldn't help being startled.
Seeing that Fang Xiaojuan didn't have a good face, Qiao Zhenmin walked forward with a straight face.
Fang Xiaojuan's eyes fell on Chu Shengmei and Du Zhuocheng. After looking at them for a long time, she found that she didn't know them, so she forgot them.
A while ago, she asked Xiao Qiao to write a letter about breaking her mother-daughter relationship with Da Qiao and send it to Meng Hongguang. Counting the time, she should receive a reply within two days.
Although she put all the responsibility on the Qiao family, she was still a little uneasy because she was afraid that Meng Hongguang would be unhappy.
When passing the private plot, Chu Shengmei became curious again when she saw that the plot was not growing vegetables.
Qiao Zhenmin patiently explained to her: "These small saplings are wolfberry, which are used for medicine and food. If they can be planted on a large scale, it will be a good development path for the production team in the future."
As he spoke, he also told her what Wang Yansheng said.
Chu Shengmei listened with gusto, and nodded appreciatively: "Wonderful! That head Wang must be a very knowledgeable person for thinking of this method. I'm so glad that he is engaged to the third sister of the Qiao family!"
Qiao Zhenmin nodded with a smile, and was also happy that the third sister had found a good marriage.
Du Zhuocheng, who was following them, walked all the way, with a smile on his lips, but he hardly made a sound.
—
When I came to the stream, I heard the children's laughter from a distance.
"Sister Ying, look, I caught a loach... ah... don't run away, loach!"
Shen Tianyou caught a loach and proudly showed it to his boss, but soon his joy turned into sorrow, the loach twisted and slipped away from his grasp.
He stomped his feet angrily, and his fleshy face was flushed with anger.
Anping gloated and laughed, but his feet slipped and he fell into the water with a "bang", his whole body became drowned immediately.
At this moment, the entire Qiao family couldn't help laughing.
The best season for catching loach is actually autumn and winter. I can’t bear it now that the children are on vacation and I have nothing to do at home, so I fish and catch shrimp everywhere.
At the other end of the stream, there were also children rounding up loach, but the loach was too "cunning", and no one caught many.
Huo Chi's catching loach is different from other children, he doesn't need a whisker.
He took out the small net bag he usually used for fishing, put the dug earthworms in the net bag to make babies, and then scattered the net bag in places where there were few aquatic plants.
Needless to say, he has a good way of finding loach lodgings. Not long after the small net bag was cast down, he caught several loaches in the net, and all of them were very fat.
"Brother Huo Chi, you are really amazing!" Da Qiao's eyes were shining, and she looked at him with admiration.
Huo Chi's face didn't know whether it was from the sun, or because of embarrassment, two suspicious blushes flew up.
He had a cool expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and he instructed her very patiently: "When catching loaches, you should pinch their heads with your nails so that they won't slip away. Try it. "
"Brother Huo Chi, you know a lot, you are so amazing!"
Big Qiao nodded his head again and again, following Huo Chi's example, he pinched the loach's head with his thumb and forefinger, and sure enough, the loach couldn't run away.
Da Qiao seemed to be desperately patting the rainbow as if he didn't want money, the blush on Huo Chi's face became more and more obvious, and the cracked curvature of the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, obviously it was very beneficial.
Xiao Qiao came to look for the two brothers Fang Youliang and Fang Yourou. When passing by, seeing Da Qiao and Huo Chi together, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise a sarcasm.
It's really worthless, with a bad person every day, not afraid of being reported!
If she didn't want to go to the Shanghai stock market, she would definitely go to the commune to report Qiao's family!
But who is this Huo family? They didn't come to the production team in their previous life.
She was thinking while walking, suddenly, she stopped, turned around and her eyes fell on Huo Chi.
She remembered that the richest man in her previous life was surnamed Huo. She heard that his wife and children were once regarded as bad elements and locked up on the farm, and the family was reunited only after the reform and opening up.
Could this Huo Chi be the son of the richest man
Huo Chi felt that someone was looking at him, raised his head, and met Xiao Qiao's gaze, his brows frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
It's just that no matter how indifferent his eyes are, he is still a child, so in Xiao Qiao's view, there is no deterrent effect.
After much deliberation, she was still not sure, so she hurriedly found the two brothers of the Fang family, and then went home to ask her mother.
After Xiao Qiao left, Huo Chi looked at her back, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, a child's cry suddenly came from the other side of the river: "Come on, someone fell into the river!"
