Next to her, Qiao Simei watched Li Yong and his second brother walking so close and kept talking. The girl who couldn't talk to Li Yong suddenly felt even more dissatisfied. She pouted and walked slowly at the back, only to find that the front No one was waiting for me.
After stamping her feet, she trotted to follow him.
Then she saw Li Yong suddenly looked back at her and stopped. Qiao Erqiang, who was not sure what to say, also stopped. When he turned around, he noticed Qiao Simei who was lagging behind.
Qiao Sanli also noticed the little girl behind her and her eyes flickered.
Being stared at by three pairs of eyes, Qiao Simei immediately stopped, blinked, and then slowly moved to follow, looking very ladylike.
She obviously learned this from watching TV, and it was obviously not because of Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Sanli. She was probably happy that she was noticed by Li Yong.
Li Yong just smiled when he saw this scene. Qiao Simei always liked to show off in front of people she cared about, and this time was of course no exception. On the contrary, Qiao Sanli next to her didn't say anything.
"By the way, my family gave me pocket money again. Can I treat you to steamed buns after school tonight?"
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this. After all, they were all children. The most important thing was that their usual food was ordinary, and the meat buns were considered to be carnivorous to them.
Only Qiao Sanli said a little embarrassedly: "We always eat your things and take your things. Isn't it bad?"
Qiao Erqiang was a little hesitant when he heard this. After all, he could still listen to some of Qiao Yicheng's teachings, so he still had the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Since he met Li Yong, Li Yong has given Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei a lot of gifts in the name of supervising their grades, especially candies for Qiao Simei. Just look at the candy wrappers on the wall next to her bed. .
Not to mention Qiao Simei, Qiao Erqiang also shared some candies from her. Although he doesn't like sweets, he still likes snacks that he has never eaten before.
There are also various hairpins and rubber bands, which are actually small gadgets that don’t look very valuable. They are just more exquisite and easy to like among girls. Moreover, it is obvious that materials are scarce in today’s world and the economy is far from economical. Scarce in the developed era.
Not to mention Qiao Simei, even Qiao Sanli also liked it, but compared to Qiao Simei who would wear it directly and then deliberately show off in front of her classmates, Qiao Sanli carefully put it into an iron box. , I don’t know if it’s because I’m reluctant to use it or for some other reason.
However, the benefit that Qiao Erqiang can get is basically taking him to have something to eat with him sometimes, so in addition to Niu Ye, Qiao Erqiang also likes to get together with Li Yong, because there is delicious food, and he has cultivated it since childhood One of his hobbies is eating all kinds of delicacies, although for him many things can actually be called delicacies because they are relatively rare to eat.
In fact, they have always been curious about where Li Yong got these things and how much money he got. His expenses don't look like what a primary school student should have.
Li Yong just brushed it off, so naturally they wouldn't go into it further.
Fortunately, Li Yong had told Sanli and Simei not to reveal all the things given to them at once, and not to show off deliberately, as this could easily cause trouble.
Even Simei only occasionally wears it for the other female students in the class to "discover" by themselves, and then enjoys their envious compliments, so it is not easy for people to notice at ordinary times, and they did not tell Qiao Yicheng Otherwise, my uncle might be even more wary of Li Yong.
I heard that some girls came to school with swollen eyes the next day after seeing the hairpin on Simei's head. She went home to ask for it from her parents but was rejected. She had obviously cried all night.
Qiao Simei felt extremely proud after knowing this. Although she was loved by her teachers and classmates because of her sweet mouth and good looks, from another perspective, due to family conditions, she felt somewhat inferior in school. .
Some low self-esteem is hidden in the heart, but when shown externally, it turns out to be excessive self-esteem or even arrogance. Qiao Simei is a bit like this.
She used to be envied by others, but after Li Yong came, she also became the object of envy by others.
This sense of gap makes her enjoy it very much, and it also makes her a little bit crazy. It is no wonder that she now has a very special dependence and following on Li Yong. This is something that neither Qiao Yicheng nor Qiao Erqiang has experienced. Qiao Zuwang Not to mention.
So at this time, only Qiao Simei could stand up and say indifferently to Li Yong's expression: "Brother Li Yong is not an outsider, what does this mean?"
She seems to feel at ease with getting it from Li Yong, but once the habit becomes natural, she will gradually become inseparable from Li Yong.
In fact, it makes sense for girls to be rich, because after they become materially dependent, it will be difficult for them to adapt to another lifestyle and they will not be easily wronged.
Of course, such a result may also become bad due to the inability to adapt and change. It can only be said that you should live a life according to your ability, and do not easily do things beyond your ability.
For Li Yong, this is obviously not a problem to worry about.
Qiao Sanli glanced at her, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Li Yong also nodded and smiled: "Yes, if you continue to do this, you will treat me as an outsider. If you have any good things in the future, you can share them with me."
Qiao Erqiang smiled coquettishly. He felt that with the conditions of his family and his own situation, it was unlikely that he would have anything that Li Yong didn't have that he could share with him in this life.
While they were talking, school arrived and the four of them separated. Qiao Simei swung her two ponytails tied with the pink rubber band given to her by Li Yong and skipped to the first grade.
Li Yong joined Qiao Sanli. Before entering the classroom, Sanli suddenly took a step behind, gently tugged on Li Yong's clothes, and then asked in a low voice: "Li Yong, did you say something to my elder brother? "
Li Yong tilted his head and asked strangely: "Why do you ask so suddenly?"
It turned out that Sanli noticed that Qiao Yicheng seemed to have been wanting to say something to her after leaving the police station yesterday.
In fact, among the four children in the Qiao family, Qiao Sanli, the third child, looks more like the second child. She usually contributes the most to Qiao Yicheng. This is also because she is more delicate and can take into account many things that Qiao Yicheng ignores. Small problem.
So although she is two years younger than Qiao Erqiang, Qiao Sanli has to bear more things than Qiao Erqiang, including having to tolerate Qiao Simei many times.
Of course, she would sometimes be a little dissatisfied with Simei, such as when it came to Li Yong.
Qiao Sanli hesitated: "I just feel like you guys are hiding something from me."
Li Yong chuckled and said, "Of course I'm hiding something from you..."
Qiao Sanli blinked and looked at him, a little surprised.
Is it really okay to just say it directly?
But Li Yong shrugged and said, "Since I know you still ask, obviously I won't tell you."
Qiao Sanli pursed her lips, looking a little unhappy.
Li Yong smiled, ruffled her hair and said, "Okay, it's time to go in. It's the class teacher's class later. You don't want to behave like Qiao Erqiang and have the teacher call the parents, and then call your eldest brother. come on?"
Qiao Sanli touched her messed up bangs, looked at Li Yong's back and pursed her lips, then followed him briskly after a while.
Forget it, just keep it a secret. She believes they must have a reason and it won't be harmful to herself.
Maybe it's because she is still too young and immature. When they are willing to tell her, she will grow up.
As for Li Yong being about the same age as her, Qiao Sanli never considered it, because not only her, but also her eldest brother Qiao Yicheng, the classmates and other teachers in the class would all recognize this: Li Yong is too precocious. , not like a child at all, but more adult than an average adult.
…
"Is this what you said... how to take over the grocery store?"
Qiao Yicheng sat on the stool and looked around. Li Yong directly rented the house he rented for the woman and turned it into the new grocery store. Li Yong also moved all the things in the store. .
It's like continuing to sell things in a different place. The strange thing is that no one seems to be very surprised.
Indeed, there is nothing surprising. Li Yong hired two people to move things to the grocery store before, saying that he had negotiated with Li Heman, and then showed the agreement directly, so the people around him had nothing to say. That's right, I just thought that after Li Heman committed a crime, he wanted to take this place out.
Li Yong believed that even if people from the neighborhood committee went to the police to ask Li Heman, they would get similar answers. He definitely didn't want to add any details now, but there might be some changes in the future, but there was no need to worry.
As for the landlord, as long as the rent is paid and the house is not demolished, he doesn't care what is used for it.
And in this way, the dispute over the ownership of Li Heman's house can indeed be avoided. After all, it is still his old house. If they just occupied it, they would not be able to pass the business in this street.
This made Qiao Yicheng relieved, but also felt a little strange, "Where did you get so much money?"
Not to mention the gold bars I gave to the woman before, the rent paid before and after, the labor fees for hiring someone to move things, and even a signboard, a little paint and re-decoration, at least it looked more like that. Son.
It would be fine if the business went well in the future, but if it didn't go well, his initial investment would be in vain.
Moreover, Li Yong also said that he had ordered additional goods - he had found all the sources of goods for Li Heman, and there would be some new stuff coming by then.
Qiao Yicheng now knows that Li Yong's father is the production team leader of the Red Star Factory, his mother works in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, his eldest brother is a teacher at No. 9 Middle School, and his eldest sister owns a tailor shop. The family conditions are much better than theirs. But his financial level is obviously beyond what a family like his can afford.
Can his pocket money or private money really be allowed to be spent like this without any scruples?
If it were Li Yong's parents, eldest brother, or sister, he would still think it was more credible, or if they did these things through Li Yong's method, but not to mention that this is unnecessary, Li Yong obviously seems to have it. There is no need to discuss it with the family if it is autonomous.
He made many decisions on the spur of the moment and then decided directly.
Li Yong did not explain, but looked at Qiao Yicheng, held his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Yicheng, you are busy with your studies now. If you have to run back and forth between school and this grocery store, it will definitely be too much for you. . Otherwise, how about letting the Second Strong and the others visit the store after school and holidays?
"You can also give them some pocket money in this way, which saves that kid Qiao Erqiang from having to save all his food money and go hungry if he wants to buy something. Of course, there is no need to give too much, you can keep some of it, so that He knew it was best to have money but not get it all.”
Well, it's like "I'll take care of it first and I'll give it to you when you grow up." Whether or not it will be given to you in the future is another matter.
There are not so many supplies these days, and there are few grocery stores like this. Business will definitely be easy, and you can even get a sign with fixed opening hours.
At first, Li and Mandu often closed the door at night and secretly played cards with Qiao Zuwang and the others in the room. Most of the people who wanted to buy things nearby were people they knew. After getting to know each other, they made it clear to them, and even Maybe "unmanned sales" will work.
Of course, it's better not to do things that test people's hearts. It won't matter if Li Yong is really lost. Qiao Yicheng and the others will probably be heartbroken to death.
After all, although he still felt that this was Li Yong's property, Li Yong had always said that it was for Sanli. Qiao Yicheng would naturally have some sense of ownership in his heart and take a stand.
So when Li Yong said this, Qiao Yicheng could only sigh helplessly: "It's whatever you say..."
Qiao Yicheng was already numb to Li Yong's adult tone and had no feeling at all. As for his arrangement, Qiao Yicheng had no intention of resisting.
Maybe Li Yong also has some imperfections, but he has a way to remedy them in time, so he is not afraid of problems.
If Qiao Yicheng was left to think about it on his own, he felt that his own thinking was not as thoughtful as the other party's.
The main thing is not the way of thinking about the problem, but the confidence to solve the problem. I feel that he is always confident and not afraid of problems because he can solve the problem at any time. This confidence alone makes Qiao Yicheng sometimes feel Ashamed of myself.
However, Qiao Yicheng thought about it and was still a little worried: "I'm afraid that this will affect their learning. And they are growing up. If they are too tired, will it affect their development?"
Of course, when the time comes, we can also let Qiao Erqiang and Sanli and Simei come in turns.
Li Yong smiled and said: "Qiao Yicheng, don't lie to yourself. You need to be talented to learn this thing. Qiao Erqiang obviously has no talent or enthusiasm. He may be able to use it in other aspects, but he is really good at studying." No.
"Of course, he must still go to school, and he can read as much as he can. But let him start with some simple things to develop his abilities. This is not a bad thing for him, and it will prevent him from having to study. If you don’t get there, there is no other way to go.”
