"What?"
Qiao Zuwang stood up, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Zhong in shock.
"Bring Qiqi back?"
"Qiqi is staying well at his second aunt's house, why did he bring him back?" Qiao Zuwang was a little excited, his heart was full of confusion, and he looked at Wang Zhong in confusion.
"You don't need to take care of me! Why not!" Wang Zhong knew what Qiao Zuwang was worried about, and he also knew Qiao Zuwang's temper, and he was even more lazy to get angry because of him.
"You don't need me to take care of you? Why don't you take care of me?" Qiao Zuwang said angrily.
Wang Zhongdao: "Don't you give Yizheng his second aunt seven yuan every month? You bring Qiqi back from his second aunt's house, and I will find a nanny for Qiqi. You give her ten yuan every month, and the rest I’ll make up for it!”
"Ten dollars, where did I get ten dollars to give you!" Qiao Zuwang immediately became anxious. If it were anything else, with his heartless temper, he probably wouldn't care at all, but as long as it's with Qiao Zuwang didn't care about anything related to his money.
Originally, seven yuan was enough for Qiao Zuwang, but it was not necessarily paid on time every month. Now it has increased to ten yuan. Doesn't this tear out his heart?
"His second aunt has three children at home. Do you think she has that much energy to take care of Qiqi for you?"
"Isn't she well taken care of?" Qiao Zuwang avoided Wang Zhong's gaze and took a sip of water with a guilty conscience.
Wang Zhong's tone was still calm: "Qiao Zuwang, this is your own son. If you don't want to, then I will find Yicheng's second aunt myself. I believe his second aunt will be very willing to send Qiqi back to you. .”
"Wang Zhong!" Qiao Zuwang immediately became anxious. He immediately turned his head to look at Wang Zhong and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Qiqi is my son, not your son. Who do I entrust to take care of him? What does it have to do with you!" Qiao Zuwang said anxiously with a pale face. He was so anxious that he forgot all the unforgettable experiences last time. .
"oh?"
Wang Zhong pretended to be surprised and said: "It seems that you are determined and don't want to take Qiqi back?"
"Qiqi is living well at his second aunt's place. Why did he bring him back?" Qiao Zuwang was still a little afraid of Wang Zhong, but he was still a bit stubborn.
Wang Zhong's eyes narrowed and fell on Qiao Zuwang with a cold voice, and he said coldly: "Qiao Zuwang, I am not discussing with you, I am informing you that Qiqi is your son, but he is also the flesh and blood of the old Qiao family. The Qiao family is not yours alone. The reason why I can inform you so kindly now is because I want to save face for you. If you insist on losing face, then it will save me the trouble. Son."
"Hmph!"
As he spoke, he hummed twice, started gearing up, and looked at Qiao Zuwang with an increasingly cold and terrifying gaze.
In an instant, Qiao Zuwang felt that he had entered an ice cave, and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate. Then he swallowed subconsciously, and the memory that frightened him reappeared in his mind.
"I'm telling you, it's illegal to hit someone!" Qiao Zuwang staggered back a few steps subconsciously, put his feet on the stool, and fell down on the stool.
His eyes and face were full of fear.
"I've already found a nanny. She'll be here tomorrow. Now you go to Yicheng's second aunt's house and bring Qiqi back to me." After saying this, Wang Zhong turned around and was about to leave. Qiao Zu looked at his relaxed eyes subconsciously. Take a breath.
....Unexpectedly, Wang Zhong only took two steps, but suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Qiao Zuwang, who looked nervous and worried: "If Qiqi can't come back, you know what the consequences will be, so I kindly remind you. , my methods are not just the same as last time, if you want to experience it again, I don’t mind at all."
To deal with people like Qiao Zuwang, being soft is of no use. You have to be strong. You have to make him afraid to be effective.
"By the way, Qiqi is your son. If you don't care about it, then I will sue your factory and the public security bureau. Let me see if your factory knows that you don't even care about your own son. Will they still want you? As for the Public Security Bureau!"
Wang Zhong paused and chuckled: "You can think about it for yourself, how they will deal with you."
Qiao Zuwang was stunned by what Wang Zhong said. When he came back to his senses, Wang Zhong was no longer in front of him. Qiao Zuwang didn't even know when Wang Zhong left.
The four children were still at Wang Zhong's house and had not returned. Looking at the empty house, he felt that he had been wronged by Wang Zhong and there was no one to talk to. For a moment, Qiao Zuwang felt mixed emotions in his heart.
When Wang Zhong returned home, Yi Cheng and his brothers and sisters had already washed all the dishes for today.
The dish was also simple, with three ingredients, a tomato and egg drop soup, and a large pot full of rice. The four children together could not eat as much as Wang Zhong alone.
After dinner, Yichen and Erqiang were washing dishes by the sink when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Wang Zhong had already told Yicheng and the others that he must close the courtyard door when he was not at home during the day. Even if someone knocked on the door, he must ask clearly who was opening the door.
If Aunt Wu and the other old neighbors were fine, but those little friends like Qiao Zuwang, they must not open the door.
As they spent more and more time together, Yichen paid more and more attention to Wang Zhong's words, and often gave advice to the second strongman and his two younger sisters.
"Second Strong, let's ask who it is?" Yi Cheng said to the Second Strong next to him.
Erqiang immediately stood up and walked behind the door, facing the door and asked loudly: "Who is it?"
"Me! Your father!" Qiao Zuwang's voice came from outside the door.
"Brother, it's Dad!" Erqiang did not run to open the door immediately, but turned to look at Yicheng.
"Yeah!" Yi Cheng stopped washing the dishes and nodded: "Open the door!"
"Okay!" The second strongman pulled the door latch and opened the courtyard door inward.
Outside the door, Qiao Zuwang was carrying a baggage in his hand, and behind him stood a familiar figure that surprised the second strongman.
"Second aunt! Qiqi?"
Erqiang looked at Wei Shufen and her little brother Qiqi who was in her arms, and his face suddenly showed joy.
"You little white-eyed wolf, you don't even know how to call your own father!" Before Wei Shufen could say anything, Qiao Zuwang started to talk to the top two.
"Dad!" Erqiang shouted with some fear.
Erqiang didn't hold the same grudge against Qiao Zuwang as Yicheng did. On the one hand, it was because he was too young and his mind was not yet mature. On the other hand, it was because his temperament was relatively simple and he didn't think too much.
…."Humph!" Qiao Zuwang snorted, carrying the baggage and walked in directly.
"Second Qiang, your dad is like that, don't worry about it!" The second aunt has always been very concerned about her nephews.
"Yes! Thank you, second aunt!" Qiqi is only a little over one year old. Although she has begun to learn to speak, she is still stumbling and can't pronounce words clearly.
"Second aunt, Qiqi!"
Yicheng also put down his work and came over. When he saw Wei Shufen and Qiqi, a smile appeared on his face.
"Yicheng! Have you eaten?" Seeing Yichen, the second aunt smiled even more.
"Brother! Brother~~~" Qiqi, who was in Wei Shufen's arms, also shouted to Yicheng, speaking out one word after another, and the enunciation of the words was quite clear.
"Qiqi is so good!" The smile on Yicheng's face became brighter.
The second strongman also smiled happily.
"Where are Sanli and Simei?" Wei Shufen asked.
Yicheng said: "I'm learning to read with my uncle in the study."
A house with a brick and wood structure naturally has no sound insulation.
"What are you doing at the door? Come in quickly!" Qiao Zuwang, who had already entered the main room, greeted outside.
Wang Zhong also walked out of the study, and Sanli and Simei also greeted Qiao Zuwang.
A large family gathered in the main room of Wang Chong's house.
"Wang Zhong, have you really thought about bringing Qiqi back and hiring a nanny for him?" Wei Shufen looked at Wang Zhong and asked seriously.
"Second sister, don't worry. I've thought about this matter repeatedly. Qiqi is not the same as when she was just born, and you also have three children at home. There are so many things to be busy with at home and outside the home. What's the matter? You have to take care of Qiqi, you are the only one, how can you come here with so much work?"
Wang Zhong and the Wei family had nothing to do with each other, but they were connected because of the marriage of Qiao Zuwang and Wei Shuying.
Although Wang Zhong had a higher seniority, he was much younger than Wei Shufen. Wang Zhong didn't care about calling Wei Shuying sister-in-law, so he simply called Wei Shufen his second sister.
"My cousin and I have agreed to hire a nanny. While taking care of Qiqi, she can also cook for Yicheng and them. This way, I can save some trouble."
The Wei Shufen family had known for a long time that the four Yi Cheng brothers and sisters had dinner together at Wang Zhong's house. As for Qiao Zuwang, Wei Shufen and Qi Zhiqiang had long since given up any expectations for him.
I usually have money to buy pork head meat and drink old wine, but I can't bear to buy some delicious food for my children to supplement their nutrition. My mouth is full of oil when I eat, and my four children are all skin and bones, as thin as firewood.
Especially Qi Zhiqiang, when he retired from the army a few years ago, he originally met Wei Shuying first, and the two also liked each other. Unfortunately, Wei Shufen stepped in and wanted to marry Qi Zhiqiang. As her sister, Wei Shuying, Naturally, he didn't want to argue with his sister, so he finally found Qiao Zuwang and started his miserable life.
Qi Zhiqiang's feelings for Wei Shuying should be complicated. He once liked her, but later felt guilty.
When Wei Shuying passed away, although many of the whispers whispered by neighbors, relatives and friends were nonsense conjectures, not all of them were groundless.
"It costs a lot of money to hire a nanny!" Wei Shufen reminded.
Wei Shufen brought Qiqi to Qiao Zuwang for the sake of her dead sister Wei Shuying. As for the seven dollars he took from Qiao Zuwang every month, most of them were spent on Qiqi. Wei Shufen did not go there. Keep it in your own pocket.
.... But if you hire a nanny, let alone the nanny's salary. Now is the time when Qiqi needs nutrition, so she must eat more delicately. She can't just drink rice soup every day.
"In addition to my salary every month, I also have some manuscript fees. Although it is not much, I can still afford a nanny, so the second sister doesn't have to worry!"
Wei Shufen is just an ordinary person, she doesn't have any bad intentions, and she treats Yichen and the others pretty well. Although there are a lot of criticisms, no one is perfect and can be dealt with.
"Fees?" Wei Shufen frowned.
"When you write an article for a magazine and publish it in their magazine, the magazine will give you some revenge. It can be a manuscript fee or a retouching fee. It depends on how you call it."
Wang Zhong explained.
"Oh! So that's it!" Wei Shufen thought thoughtfully, almost understanding what Wang Zhong meant, and then nodded: "If you know it in your mind, then it will be done."
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to take Qiqi with me. In fact, Qiqi's body is weaker than other children of the same age, and I'm too busy to take him with me all the time."
"His second aunt, you don't have a job, and you only have three children at home. What's the point of being busy? When Yizheng's mother took care of Simei, Sanli was only two years old, and I didn't hear her say that she was too busy. !”
Qiao Zuwang has always been like a dog that can't spit out ivory. When he is in need of others, he always speaks kindly and has a low attitude in front of others. But once he uses others, or when he is carrying someone behind his back, Every word that could be heard came out of his mouth.
Just like the neighbor Sister Wu, in the original plot, when Qiqi was just born, Qiao Zuwang had to go to work, so he could only entrust Qiqi to Sister Wu to take care of her, and he just stuffed Qiqi into Sister Wu's arms. , before she had gone far, she started to complain and say bad things about Sister Wu.
"Qiao Zuwang, what do you mean by this?" Wei Shufen suddenly became unhappy.
"It's not like I didn't pay you, it's seven yuan a month!" Qiao Zu looked at Wei Shufen and muttered in a low voice.
When Wei Shufen saw Qiao Zuwang acting so matter-of-factly and nonchalantly, she suddenly became angry: "Qiao Zuwang, I have helped you take care of Qiqi for so long with good intentions. In your eyes, I am just taking care of Qiqi for you." A few dollars, right?”
"If you are so kind, why do you charge me money?"
Wei Shufen was filled with anger, her eyes widened, she pointed at Qiao Zuwang, her breathing became rapid, "You...you..."
Then he kept nodding and said: "Okay! Okay, okay!"
He took Qiqi out of his arms, strolled forward and put it on Qiao Zuwang's lap.
"Hmph!" Then he waved his hand and said sternly: "Qiao Zuwang, if I interfere with your business again, my surname is not Wei!" After saying this, he turned around angrily and walked out angrily.
"Second aunt! Second aunt!" Upon seeing this, Yicheng immediately chased after her.
"Wow~~~"
Qiao Zuwang immediately cried loudly when Qiqi was on his lap.
"You kid, why are you crying!"
The incident happened so suddenly that even Wang Zhong was not expecting it, and he couldn't help but feel a little more disgust towards Qiao Zuwang in his heart.
.... "Don't chase her, let her go!" Qiao Zuwang was also angry, and stood up with the child in his arms: "It seems like our family can't survive without her!"
Issei, who was chasing after him, paid no attention to him, but Erqiang, Sanli and Simei stopped in unison.
"Hey! Qiao Zuwang, you are so majestic!" Qiao Zuwang's face immediately froze. He was stunned for a moment, swallowed subconsciously, turned around and looked at Wang Zhong, without any trace of the domineering attitude he had just to stop his children. .
"Hehe!" Qiao Zuwang forced a smile, with a bit of fear in his eyes.
It seemed as if the person in front of him was not a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but a ferocious man-eating insect.
"Okay, Qiqi stays, you can go, don't hinder my eyes here!"
Wang Zhong walked up to Qi Zuwang and stretched out his hand. Qiao Zuwang immediately pushed Qi Qi into Wang Zhong's arms. As if he knew that he was rejected by his father, Qi Qi's crying became louder.
Qiao Zuwang immediately ran out as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.
"Er Qiang, go to the kitchen and bring five bowls. Sanli, go and take out the brown sugar from the cupboard!" Wang Zhong gently shook Qiqi in his arms to coax him, while instructing Er Qiang and San Li.
After soaking in brown sugar water, Erqiang and the others had a bowl each, and another bowl, which was naturally used to coax Qiqi. It took a lot of effort, and the two sisters Sanli and Simei were there, to make the Aoao big. The crying Qi Qi was calmed down and did not continue crying.
Qiqi's body and bones are not as strong as those of children of the same age, and she is not breastfed. Although she drinks milk, she doesn't drink much. After all, the conditions of the Qiao family and the Qi family are there, and she lacks nutrition. Although she is more than one year old, But still can't walk, can only stand.
Wang Zhong carried Qiqi into the bedroom and put her on the bed. He asked Sanli and Simei to play with him first. Children are always easier to get to know each other than adults.
Sanli and Simei also like their younger brother Qiqi very much. After a while, the three siblings completed a group, and there was no sense of strangeness between them.
"Uncle! Thank you!" Yi Cheng and Wei Shufen, who were chasing away, had a good explanation. Wei Shufen naturally couldn't get angry with a child like him, but Qiao Zuwang's words were really hurtful, and Wei Shufen said that because she was out of anger.
Wang Chong's home was near the entrance of the alley. When Yi Cheng came back, Qiao Zuwang had already run away.
After Wang Zhong and Qiqi coaxed them to stop crying, Yi Cheng said to Wang Zhong.
"Silly boy!" Wang Zhong rubbed Yi Cheng's head and said with a smile, "Why are you so polite to me!"
"If you call me uncle, then you are my nephew. As an elder, isn't it natural to take care of your nephew?"
Yicheng's eyes flickered, he was very moved.
"Uncle, how much does a nanny cost per month?" Yi Cheng asked after a moment of silence.
Although Issei is not very old, due to his mother's death and his father's lack of heart, he took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings early on, and his mind matured early.
"Actually, she's not a nanny, she's a friend of mine. Since I don't have a job and no place to stay, I thought of letting her stay at home temporarily for a while so that she could have a place to stay and avoid the waste of living in a guest house outside. The money is just right, let her take care of Qiqi, and after she finds a formal job, we can hire another nanny!"
.... Yicheng nodded: "I have already agreed with my friend that she will move here tomorrow! I have to go to work tomorrow, so you have to entertain people well then!"
"do you know?"
"I know uncle!"
Yicheng nodded seriously and said, "By the way, uncle, what's the name of your friend?"
"My name is Ma Suqin. She is a girl in her twenties. She is quite beautiful and quite tall..." Wang Zhong did not have a photo of Ma Suqin, so he could only give a 10% description of Ma Suqin's appearance.
Yicheng listened carefully and took it to heart carefully.
"I have already told her about the situation between you and Qiqi. When she comes here tomorrow, you can first introduce her to our family and let him live in my room now while I move to the study."
After explaining clearly to Yicheng, Wang Zhong entered the bedroom to see Qiqi's condition, followed closely by Yicheng.
After a while, Qiqi, who had been crying and tired for a while, fell asleep first, and Yichen took Sanli and Simei back home.
At night, Qiqi woke up, perhaps because she was not adaptable to the new environment. Although Wang Zhong had expected it and did not turn off the lights, Qiqi still burst into tears looking at the unfamiliar environment around her.
Wang Zhong was thinking about Qiqi and didn't sleep deeply. He woke up immediately when he heard the cry. Fortunately, Wang Zhong had experienced three dungeon worlds and had already enriched his experience in raising children. After a while, he Xiao Qiqi was coaxed.
Fortunately, Qi Qi is now over a year old. If he were younger, Wang Zhong would have nothing to do with him.
He went to bed too early and woke up several times this night, which was very frustrating for Wang Zhong, who had not taken care of the baby for a long time.
After breakfast the next day, Wang Zhong handed Qiqi to Yicheng and the others, pushed on his bicycle and went to work.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Ma Suqin appeared near the alley of Wang Chong's house with a few baggage.
"Uncle, I want to ask you something!" Ma Suqin saw a few old men playing chess under the shade of a tree near the entrance of the alley, so she walked over and asked for directions.
"Girl, what's the matter?" Ma Suqin looks handsome and has a sweet smile, which inevitably makes people get close to her subconsciously.
"Uncle, do you know where No. 18 Tianshui Lane is?"
"No. 18 Tianshui Lane? Isn't that the home of that boy Wang Zhong?" Several old people discussed in low voices and looked at Ma Suqin carefully.
Seeing this, Ma Suqin smiled and explained: "Yes, that person's name is Wang Zhong. I was introduced by his friend and went to his house to be a nanny to help take care of his little nephew."
"Hey! This guy Wang Zhong is really interested in his nephews. Not only does he provide them with food, but he also hires a nanny!"
"I saw Yi Cheng's second aunt bringing his little brother back yesterday. Wasn't this girl invited by Wang Zhong to take care of his little nephew?"
"I saw it too!"
"Shuying's child had a bad life. She left and left behind such a large family of children. The family really lacks someone to take care of her."
"······"
A few old men playing chess started talking. They were all neighbors living in this area. They didn't know anything about whose family. At the moment, there was no woman in Lao Qiao's family, and there were so many children at home, and there was also a nanny. Qiao Zuwang had to go to work again, so he hired a nanny to take care of the baby. No one thought it was strange.
"Girl, this is Tianshui Lane. You go in from the opening in front and you will reach Wang Zhong's house after two turns!" The uncle enthusiastically showed Ma Suqin the way.
"Uncle! Thank you!" Ma Suqin bowed to the uncle.
The uncle was very happy: "What's the matter? You're welcome, you're welcome!"
Seeing Ma Suqin walking into the box, the elders started talking again: "This little girl is quite polite, but it's rare for her to work as a nanny at such a young age."
"There are so many educated youths returning to the city now, and many of them don't even have jobs. Having a job as a nanny is better than staying at home and doing nothing."
"That makes sense."
"Hey, tell me, didn't you say that Qiao Zuwang's sister-in-law was helping to carry the little baby from the Qiao family? Why was it suddenly sent back?"
"······"
