When Qiao Nan returned to Qiao's house, she saw Qiao Zijin sitting alone on her bed in a daze. His room was in a mess, and it was obvious that someone had dug it through.
Qiao Nan twitched her lips and smiled. She didn't even need to ask, she knew what good things Qiao Zijin had done.
Without saying anything, Qiao Nan simply tidied up the messy room that Qiao Zijin had made, and then read in silence.
Qiao Zijin was stunned by Qiao Nan's big movement. It wasn't until Qiao Nan finished reviewing two pages of homework that Qiao Zijin suddenly said: "Hey, when did you come back? Why didn't you say anything? I don't know. Will scary people scare people to death?!"
Qiao Zijin was completely frightened by Qiao Nan who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his reaction was even greater than Qiao Nan's.
Qiao Nan rolled her eyes: "I've tidied up my room. You said when I would come back."
"Well..." Qiao Zijin smiled awkwardly: "I dropped something, and I couldn't find it before, so I turned your room into a mess, but I found it later. I'm sorry, Nannan. "
"It doesn't matter, I've already packed it up." Qiao Nan said word by word. Everyone knew whether they were looking for things or money.
"Zijin, I'm back." Ding Jiayi's slightly tired voice came.
"Mom!" Qiao Zijin's eyes lit up and he ran out of Qiao Nan's room to pick up Ding Jiayi: "Mom, did you find a job today?"
"Found it." Ding Jiayi patted the dust on her body with difficulty.
Ding Jiayi had been a housewife for so many years and suddenly entered the society, almost ashamed to talk about her job gap.
It was obviously normal for Ding Jiayi to interact with people, but as soon as she found a job, her mouth seemed to be mushy and she couldn't open her mouth to ask.
In Ding Jiayi's situation, even if she could barely find a job, it would certainly not be easy.
After working for a long time, Ding Jiayi realized how hard it is to make money now and how happy she used to be.
"Zijin, why haven't you tidied up the house at all?" Ding Jiayi was unhappy when she came in.
When Ding Jiayi went out, she washed the clothes at home, but left the bowls for lunch unwashed. She wanted Qiao Zijin to help, and the floor at home was not swept. These tasks were quite simple. She thought her eldest daughter should It can be done.
Who knows, what she looked like when she went out, and when she came back, she was still the same.
"I..." Qiao Zijin secretly cried out. She had been in Qiao Nan's room thinking about how to solve the problem of exams and dance clothes, and she had long forgotten about this matter.
"Mom, I have cleaned up Nan Nan's room. If you don't believe me, why don't you go and see it?"
"..." Qiao Nan, who happened to come out of the room and wanted to get a cup of tea, was shocked by Qiao Zijin's words.
One corner of Qiao Nan's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything and went to pour some water.
After working for a long time, she was exhausted. Her little daughter's lukewarm attitude made Ding Jiayi angry: "What kind of attitude do you have?!"
Qiao Nan, who was drunk, did not argue and said calmly: "Mom, you are back. Mom, you have worked hard. Mom, I went back to the room to read."
"What are you looking at? You're such a big man, you can't even clean up your room, and you still need your sister to help you? You've grown this tall in vain!"
"What's wrong?" Qiao Dongliang, who happened to come in, returned home and heard his wife scolding his little daughter again.
"What else could be wrong? I don't know how to feel sorry for those of us who are fathers and mothers. We just want to live happily alone. This is how you are taught to read in the book? If that is the case, why are you still reading? If not, what are you reading? What have you learned?" Ding Jiayi raised her chin and asked Qiao Dongliang to see what was going on at home.
Qiao Dongliang has long been accustomed to the cleanliness of his home. Today, the house suddenly became a little dirty and messy. Qiao Dongliang couldn't help but frowned: "Why didn't you clean it up?"
"I'm going to work."
"I'm going out to review."
"I… "
Ding Jiayi and Qiao Nan both told the reasons why they didn't have time to clean up, but Qiao Zijin couldn't tell them.
"I, I cleaned Nan Nan's room."
"Cleaned all day?" Qiao Dongliang asked incredulously: "And Nannan always cleans the room by herself."
"Nan Nan got up earlier than me, so it's not that Nan Nan didn't clean up her room, it was because of me. Dad, I've never done this kind of work before, so I move slowly. Don't be angry."
"Forget it, it's not too dirty anyway. Everyone helped to make the house clean." Qiao Dongliang sighed.
"I, I wash the dishes!" Qiao Zijin quickly grabbed a more relaxed word, but carefully looked at Qiao Nan with his eyes.
Her only excuse was that she cleaned Qiao Nan's room, but Qiao Nan cleaned the room herself. She knew this, and so did Qiao Nan.
Qiao Zijin felt that Qiao Nan was not as easy to talk to as before, and he was deeply afraid that Qiao Nan would expose him in front of his parents.
However, Qiao Zijin glanced at Qiao Nan several times, but Qiao Nan just silently picked up the broom and swept the floor clean.
"Huh." Qiao Zijin breathed a sigh of relief. Qiao Nan's temper had indeed become a bit louder, but she was still as easy to bully as before, so that's good.
Seeing Qiao Zijin's relieved look, Qiao Nan smiled silently. The reason for cleaning the room was not that she didn't want to argue with Qiao Zijin, but that Qiao Zijin still didn't understand her true status in the hearts of her parents.
It was just a small matter of cleaning the room. If she had to compete with Qiao Zijin for credit, her father would just say "hmm" in the end, and he might not be very happy.
Qiao Zijin stayed at home for a long time and didn't do any housework. Even if it could show how lazy Qiao Zijin was, it would not look good on her parents' faces. They had raised this lazy daughter.
Especially Dad would think that she was stingy. Even if it was really her who did the work, giving the credit to Qiao Zijin would be a relief to Qiao Zijin.
A family shouldn't be so fussy about everything, and there's nothing wrong with making a small loss once in a while.
Her father asked this question not because he wanted to cause trouble for Qiao Zijin, but because he wanted to see Qiao Zijin's progress.
Eldest daughter, this identity is really useful.
Her father gave up on her in her previous life, except that she really failed to live up to expectations. After all, her sacrifice made Qiao Zijin successful.
Otherwise, if her father was tougher, her mother would have to listen. At that time, she had never had an opinion, and her mother would relent. She would definitely not be able to persist in studying and working.
Thinking of this, Qiao Nan laughed at herself. Perhaps because of her birth, her mother lost her job and her father had to retire from the army. In the end, she was not a son. In fact, her father had some complaints about her in his heart.
In her previous life, she was always the one who was sacrificed, and all her sacrifices were used to achieve Qiao Zijin.
