Qiao Zuwang stepped on the bench and pulled at the rope tied to the beam, wailing that he was no longer alive and wanted to hang himself.
It makes those who hear it sad and shed tears when they hear it.
Qian Wen, an important audience member, came to the scene. Not only did he not persuade me, but I just looked at you and thought you were being casual.
Qian Wen didn't know what trouble Qiao Zuwang was trying to make, but he could tell at a glance that it was nothing serious.
Qiao Zuwang howled desperately for a long time, disturbing the black kites that had returned to their nests Tiantian.
The beer on the table was half drunk and the peanuts had not been eaten much. Qiao Zuwang, who was ignored by no one, probably felt that he was losing face, and his wailing of life and death suddenly stopped.
Then……
"snort"
He snorted coldly, stopped hanging himself, shook the rope at hand, and jumped off the bench with a snap.
Walked up to him and shouted to him, "I'm going to hang myself."
Qian Wen licked his ears and joked, "See, I'm ready to save you at any time.
Who knows, I've been waiting for a long time and you didn't give me a chance. "
Qiao Zuwang choked.
"You and I……"
Qiao Zuwang's face turned red and blue for a while.
"Since everything is okay, let's untie the rope, wipe the bench, and get ready to eat.
I've been howling for a while, and I must be tired. I need to replenish my strength. "
Qian Wen never asked why Qiao Zuwang hanged himself or why he wanted to live or die, which made Qiao Zuwang panic.
Sanli hurriedly untied the hemp rope and hid it to prevent her father from thinking about it again. This sudden surprise made her heart unbearable.
At this moment, Qian Wen and Qiao Zuwang were the only ones left in the room.
"Just watch your father hang himself!" Qiao Zuwang said angrily.
"Are you okay?" Qian Wen looked at Qiao Zuwang with a half-smile.
"Why don't you ask me what's wrong?"
"No more questions, I'm relieved that you're fine."
Qiao Zuwang's hands trembled due to tightness in his chest.
At this time, Erqiang poked his head in, looked at the two of them and asked softly, "The food is ready, can it be served?"
Qian Wen stood up and said, "Eat, I'm already hungry."
Qian Wen went to help serve the food. Qiao Zuwang slapped his thigh, but it didn't go as he expected, so he drank half of the beer left on the table in one gulp.
"Cough cough cough cough"
I drank so much that I choked and my face turned red.
"Am I still the father of this family?"
If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain.
The bowls were quickly set up in the main room, and dinner was served.
Today Erqiang showed off his skills and made a meal of puffer fish soup taught to him by his master Li Tianchang - first-grade puffer fish.
The soup is rich, as white as milk, and looks delicious.
Pufferfish is extremely delicious, but it is highly poisonous.
After filling a bowl, Qian Wen licked his lips and looked at the thick white soup and delicious fish, then picked up the spoon and opened his mouth to take a bite.
But from the corner of his eye, he saw that Qiao Zuwang's face was still livid. He rolled his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, put it in front of him, and said with a smile, "Pufferfish is very expensive."
The depressed Qiao Zu looked up, rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Why don't you drink first."
Qian Wen smiled, he knew about puffer fish, he seemed to be very smart.
"I can't save you. Give me a chance." Qian Wen joked.
Qiao Zuwang was too lazy to speak. He didn't really want to die.
"Tasteless."
Qian Wen took back the soup bowl and took a sip of the soup. It was rich and delicious. He also took a sip of the snow-white fish meat, which was plump and tender, with a fresh and sweet taste.
Qian Wen couldn't help but squint his eyes and enjoy, the second strongman's skills were getting better and better.
"Dad, I've taken care of it. When the master taught me how to cook this dish, I kept it in mind.
I've done it many times at my master's house, and I'm already good at it.
And I've already had my first bite. "Qiao Erqiang said to Qiao Zuwang very seriously.
This is not the first time Qian Wen has eaten this dish. He has eaten it several times at Li Tianchang's place, and it was also made by Qiao Erqiang. Of course he knows that Li Tianchang and others make this dish, and the first person to take the spoonful before serving it is tasted. .
He just asked Qiao Zuwang to eat first, but just looking at the other party's bitter face, he suddenly wanted to tease him. If Qiao Erqiang didn't master this dish, Li Tianchang would not allow him to cook it outside.
Qiao Erqiang's words made the depressed Qiao Zuwang glare, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat.
You guys were bullied and no one asked a question.
Some people also went to the theater and drank beer and ate peanuts while watching the theater.
You think I am just playing a big show, not like a son at all. Who is the father and who is the son in this family?
I have never seen such a son! "
Er Qiang touched his nose and buried his head in the meal.
Sanli's beautiful big eyes flickered. As a half-participant, she felt a little embarrassed and her eyes drifted upward.
Simei drank the fish soup happily, knowing that her father might be waiting for something like this, so she didn't take it to heart at all.
Qiqi is young, but has a delicate mind, and Qian Wen, Sanli and others have taught him since childhood that he just needs to eat honestly at this time.
Qian Wen was enjoying the delicious food and had no time to talk to Qiao Zuwang.
After Qiao Zuwang scolded him angrily, he didn't get any response.
The dinner table was filled with the sound of eating in silence.
It made Qiao Zuwang a little crazy.
If he couldn't defeat someone, oh, no... it should be everyone. He had to uphold the majesty of the head of the family today.
"What's wrong with learning? If you have to learn bullshit kung fu, I won't be like my father." '
After a while, I finally calmed down.
Seeing that the delicious puffer fish soup was gradually dwindling, he became anxious.
“Here…save some for me, don’t drink it all.
I haven't eaten it yet. "
Qiao Zuwang quickly stood up and served himself a bowl of fish soup.
"Yeah." Qiao Zu's eyes lit up after taking a bite.
He nodded, "It's true that it's expensive."
He's not good at anything else, but he can be very naughty.
Qiao Zuwang drank a few more sips, filled his bowl with a large piece of fish, and after eating a few mouthfuls of fish, he suddenly sighed. He knew that his tricks would really have no effect in this family.
After taking another bite of food, he said to everyone, especially Qian Wen:
“The factory where I work is going to be privatized, and now I’m on leave without pay, which means I have no job.
I didn’t know that I would become a laid-off worker that day. "
Sanli and the second strongman were shocked, "Then...that..."
One of them is a student and the other has not yet joined the workforce. They don’t know what to do and are anxious.
Qian Wen put down Kuaizi and wiped his mouth.
“Is this why you’re making trouble at home?
This is not right. You should go to your work unit to reason. "
Qiao Zuwang's face turned red, which was not very glorious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Also, if you don't have a job, go find a job. Why are you complaining at home?" Qian Wen looked at Qiao Zuwang and said.
"You...you think you can find a job now.
And I am disabled and cannot do manual labor. "Qiao Zuwang said confidently.
Simei complained in a low voice, "You are disabled, you can run and jump, you play mahjong every day, you eat braised pork, and drink wine, you are more comfortable than anyone else."
"I'm missing a section of the little toe on my right foot. I have a disability certificate issued by the street office. How can an adult like me still talk nonsense?" Qiao Zu stared at the good daughter who was causing trouble.
Simei rolled her eyes, what a huge disability, she really couldn't do physical work.
"Then you can make a fortune playing mahjong.
Don't you like playing mahjong?
I had to go to work before, but now I can play every day. I am so happy, making money and having fun at the same time. Qian Wen offered advice. Now he knew what Qiao Zuwang had planned and was plotting against him.
Qiao Zuwang choked. If he could make a fortune playing mahjong, he would already be enjoying the popular mahjong. He started to act rogue and said, "I don't care, Qiao Yicheng, you are so rich, you buy a house and open an office, you have to take care of me." .”
Qian Wen Yile still relied on him.
If Qiao Zuwang had a father figure and could take care of them slightly after Qiao's mother passed away, he would have taken care of everything without Qiao Zuwang complaining or hanging himself.
But now...
"Then tell me what you want me to do." Qian Wen asked with interest.
"I don't want you to take care of me too much. I'm not old and can still take care of myself. You just need to give me 500 living expenses every month.
Anyway, it’s just a drop in the bucket for you, you…”
"five hundred"
Before Qiao Zuwang could finish speaking, Simei exclaimed.
Now the average income of ordinary workers in Jinling is about one hundred, and Qiao Zuwang wants five hundred, which is like a lion's mouth.
Sanli and the two strong men quickly put down their bowls, their eyes widened, and they looked at Qiao Zuwang in surprise.
Today's play is a bit expensive.
Qian Wen tapped his fingers, attracting the attention of several people, "Eat honestly, even such a delicious puffer fish soup can't stop your mouths."
Qiao Zuwang couldn't give him a chance to mess around, otherwise he would become more and more aggressive with each other, and Simei would be doing a disservice.
"It's been a long time since I changed my clothes. Now the price of bathing in the bathhouse has increased. It's not more than five hundred. I...I've been tired for almost half my life, and...I should also want to enjoy peace and happiness."
Qiao Yicheng, you can't ignore me, I am your father. "
When Qiao Zuwang said this, he was not confident enough at first, but he gradually became more confident, as if he would be sorry for the family if he didn't pay.
Qian Wen was not angry at all, because it was really unnecessary. Being angry would hurt his body. It was not worth it for Qiao Zuwang, and it was not like he didn't know who he was.
I didn't even discuss with the other party how they got here all these years.
What he wanted to do, Qiao Zuwang couldn't decide.
Qian Wen thought for a moment and looked at Qiao Zuwang, who was staring at him eagerly, "I can tell you clearly, there is no five hundred..."
"Qiao Yicheng!" Before he heard all the words, Qiao Zuwang became anxious and stood up.
Qian Wen's face sank, and he stared at Qiao Zuwang calmly, "Do you want me to have a serious argument with you in front of Erqiang, Sanli, Simei, and Qiqi?
I touched my conscience and waited for a few seconds to consider whether I had the right to be angry.
Don't let yourself lose face. "
"If you want to enjoy happiness, wait until you are really old. We are discussing this topic.
Didn't I give you a "Shenzhen Development Bank" stock certificate last year? You originally spent one thousand, but now I have received five thousand.
Five thousand is the salary of most workers for five or six years. Even if you are too lazy to work, it will be enough for you to squander it for a while. How about changing it? "
Qiao Zuwang stood there, breathing heavily, staring at Qian Wen with bull eyes.
But he didn't dare to really yell, because he knew what he had done.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I've already asked about that stock. Although I don't know much about it, it's gone up now. I'm still waiting for 10,000 yuan for my money. This is your guarantee." Qiao Zuwang said. .
Hearing this, Qian Wen spread his hands and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. You may really need mahjong to get rich."
"Qiao Yicheng, you can't be so heartless." Qiao Zuwang was anxious.
There was a rich man's son who was watching over him, but he could only stare blankly, and the neighbors would laugh at him if he told her anything.
Qian Wen didn't look at Qiao Zuwang, but looked at Qiao Erqiang and several others. Seeing that they were almost done eating, he said, "Why are your ears so straight? Since you are full, just take it away and do whatever you need to do!"
The two strong men, Sanli and others looked at each other, and then started to clear away the bowls obediently.
Soon the dinner was cleared on the table.
Qiao Zuwang stared, "Qiao Yicheng is treating you like a dog to train you, does he have to be so obedient?"
"You're a dog." Simei whispered, pouting.
Sanli patted her and told her not to get involved, and took Qiqi next door to prepare for next semester's homework.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Qian Wen looked at Qiao Zuwang and said seriously, "I'm always reasonable.
Don't think about money. As for why, you know it very well.
Some things are better not to be picked apart, so that you and I will be better off, and everyone will be better off.
I can't care about Erqiang, Sanli, Simei, Qiqi, and I don't care how they choose when they grow up.
But I am...a decisive person. Once my face is exposed, I really can't go back.
you decide.
that is it. "
After Qian Wen finished speaking, he left.
He was really too lazy to talk to Qiao Zuwang, as long as there were fewer mistakes, because the mud could not hold up the wall, it was not that he had not thought about changing Qiao Zuwang. After all, he was really young when he was 12 years old, and he had to take care of his small third child. If Qiao Zuwang could change his ways, and he felt a little relieved.
However, mahjong, wine, snacks, and songs are all more important than them and cannot be changed at all.
He felt at ease and no longer wanted to talk nonsense.
You raised me when I was young, and I raised you when you are old. There is a first and then a last.
"Qiao Yicheng, you really don't care about me!" Qiao Zuwang said in disbelief.
He paused without looking back, shook his head, and said calmly, "You should be grateful that you still had some conscience in the first place.
You don’t have to worry about your life in your later years. As for now, you’d better find a job when you’re in your forties.
In fact, you can really consider selling the stock to me. "
Qian Wen is gone.
This play made Qiao Zuwang, who was performing on the stage, very unhappy.
But he also has some sense of conscience. He can make trouble and be a rogue, but he also wants to save face. At this point, he finally understands. At least for now, he can't count on that bastard.
In the evening, Erqiang, who liked to make late-night snacks, knocked on the door and called Qiao Zuwang, asking if he wanted some wontons.
Qiao Zuwang, who used to be very greedy, shouted angrily, "Get out of here", he was so angry.
I wonder why I didn't shoot it against the wall in the first place.
the next day.
Qiao Zuwang didn't even eat breakfast. He disappeared early in the morning and disappeared at the same time...
“Where’s the big antique porcelain tank where I keep koi fish?
There’s been a thief at home.”
Qian Wen shouted after washing up and getting ready for morning exercise.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the blue sky and smoky sky highlighted his scholarly temperament, and the large porcelain tank for raising fish in the small courtyard was lost.
There is only a pool of water left on the spot, green, like the lotus leaves of a big cattail fan, and the flower bones that have not yet bloomed.
"And where is my koi? My luck is gone."
creak
The window on the second floor opened, and the sleepy Simei and Erqiang appeared, looking down.
"Hey, Xiaohong, where's Xiaohua?" Simei also exclaimed.
Xiaohong and Xiaohua are the koi he raised in a large antique porcelain tank, named according to their colors.
"Brother, at four or five o'clock in the morning, I seemed to hear a noise, but I didn't pay attention." Qiao Erqiang scratched his head.
"Dabai, where's Erbai? How do you look at home?" Qian Wen turned and walked to the next door.
In the past, the big white geese that would not be locked up at all were all locked up. When they saw him, they quacked and flapped their wings.
Qian Wen knew at once who had stolen his large antique porcelain vat.
You know, Dabai, who is not a member of the family, is the caretaker of the home, and Erbai will not go back to the nest honestly, and will be locked up.
By the method of elimination, all the neighbors are eliminated, and only one truth remains.
Qian Wen laughed angrily, "That's great.
It's really atrocious. "
"If something happens to my koi, I won't be able to get through this matter this time!" Qian Wen said angrily. He dared to touch his good luck. Wouldn't this break his feng shui?
young
The black kite, which was already old and had begun to lose its feathers, spread its wings in its nest every day, flew to the edge of the large earth-yellow urn originally used to store water in the courtyard of the old house, and called at him.
Qian Wen walked over doubtfully and looked into the big urn. Two cheerful, lively and brightly colored koi came into view.
Qian Wen was speechless, "It's really slippery!"
First latest.
