Upon hearing what their boss said, the other three gangsters had exaggerated expressions and started crying and howling almost simultaneously. One of them said lazily, "Brother, are you sure you are not joking with your brothers?"
"Yes, yes, brother! Can we stop joking?!"
The person who said this was a young gangster with a baby face.
"I'm not kidding you!"
Huzi made a serious face: "Aren't you worried that one day you will be arrested by the police and sent to a labor camp somewhere? Besides, among the four of us,
Even though I am the oldest, I am only sixteen, and you three are one year younger than me. I think... I think it is better for us to go back to school and continue studying. "
"I agree with what brother said."
This was the voice of a tall and thin gangster. Although he was one year younger than Hu Zi, he was almost as tall as Hu Zi.
"Junzi! You are making fun of me!"
The baby-faced gangster looked at the tall and thin gangster named Junzi with resentment in his eyes.
At this time, the wilting little gangster from before said: "Brother, our reputation is not very good. In the past month, we have often skipped classes and lived outside. If we go back, will the school want us?"
"We take the initiative to admit our mistakes, and then write a sincere apology. If this doesn't work, we will call our parents to intercede. Anyway, it is not a problem to continue like this."
Huzi said, patting the wilted little gangster on the shoulder: "Qiangzi... among the four of us, not only do you have good parents, but your parents are very good to you.
Think about it, how sad would your parents be if you kept living up to their expectations and wandering around in society until you became an adult in two years? "
Speaking of this, Huzi moved his eyes towards the baby-faced gangster and the tall and thin gangster: "Ermao, Junzi, although one of you has no father and the other has no mother, Ermao, your mother is here for you, your brother and your sister. I haven’t remarried now,
It can be seen that your mother cares about you brothers and sisters from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, your eldest brother took over your father's class after graduating from junior high school and worked with your mother to earn wages. Isn't it just to support you and your sister's studies?
They definitely want to see you have a future, but if you continue to hang around like this, will you be worthy of your mother and your elder brother? "
The gangsters named Qiangzi and Ermao both lowered their heads in shame. Seeing this, Huzi said to the gangster named Junzi: "Auntie is gone, but I believe she will be reluctant to leave you and your brother... …
Junzi, we live in a large courtyard. I know your stepmother is not a good person, but your father wants to lose face and avoid being gossiped about by the neighbors.
In the past two years, he insisted on sending you and your brother to school even if he was encouraged by your stepmother again. Now if you really don't go to school anymore, who do you think is taking an advantage? "
Huzi let out a long sigh. He looked at the three brothers who were following him one by one, and said seriously: "I believe you all have an idea in your mind whether it is right or wrong for us to steal people's things today.
If that gentleman hadn't said that the two women were not good people and that the older woman had stolen a treasure from him, I would not have allowed him to take you to do that.
Furthermore, you have also seen that the gentleman is not an ordinary person at first glance. Even if he is wearing a mask, he gives people a very powerful feeling.
If you think about it carefully, compared with that gentleman, are we as small as ants on the ground, even humble? Do you think highly of us like this? "
Seeing that none of the three brothers made a sound, Huzi sighed again: "I look down on myself anyway. We all have one nose, one mouth and two eyes. Why can't we become more powerful?"
Speaking of this, Huzi thought of his elderly grandma, and his eyes turned slightly red: "My parents died when I was ten years old. It was my grandma who worked hard to pull me up to where I am today.
But I didn't study well. I felt that skipping school and joining society was very prestigious, and I didn't want to take the right path. To be honest, I felt sorry for my grandparents. "
Wiping the corners of his eyes, Huzi said: "In fact, that gentleman didn't have to say those words to us before he left, and there was no need to give us more money.
But people kindly warned us, lest we go all the way to the dark side, and end up being unable to turn back and spend our lives being stupid and self-destructive. Okay, let me just say this. Whether you like it or not, I am doing it for the good of our brothers. "
Junzi: "I listen to my elder brother and go to school on time tomorrow morning."
Er Mao: "I also listen to big brother."
Qiangzi: "Since you have all made a decision, then I...then I am the same as you, otherwise, what kind of brother am I?"
"Okay, let's do this!"
Huzi said, stretched out his hands and put them on the shoulders of Junzi and Ermao. Then, Qiangzi joined in, and the four of them hugged each other's shoulders and formed a circle, cheering each other up: "Come on!"
At this moment, the gangster energy in them seemed to have dissipated a lot. After a while, the four of them went to the lake to wash their faces, arm in arm.
As for the man who had said goodbye to Hu Zi and the other four, after walking a certain distance and no one was paying attention, he opened the woman's bag tucked under his arm, took out a wad of U.S. dollars from it and stuffed it into his pocket.
He took out the wallet inside again, and then put away a few big yuan and dime tickets in the wallet. Finally, he threw the wallet into the bag.
Then, he walked to a trash can and heard a "clang" sound. The lady's bag in his hand was gone.
"If you dare to treat my daughter like that, how can you get compensation from me?"
Thinking this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in the man's deep eyes.
Speaking of which, he was none other than Jiang Boya.
What he said when he gave Fang Su the wad of US dollars in the hotel was actually Jiang Boya playing tricks on Fang Su. After all, as a father, Jiang Boya was raised by Captain Jiang and his wife from Jiang Li since he was a child. It is not difficult to deduce that Ji Fang Su found an impostor and wanted to take advantage of him...Jiang Li, his daughter was most likely abandoned by Fang Su, a vicious woman, as soon as she was born.
Since Fang Su dared to be in the first year of junior high school, don't blame him for being in the fifteenth year.
Jiang Boya considers herself not a good person, and she has vengeance and is very protective of her shortcomings. Therefore, after hearing Liu Jiacheng say that Hao Jian helped Fang Su find out where he was staying and followed him near the hotel, he thought that Fang Su would take her fake daughter with him. Come to him.
Knowing what Fang Su was going to do, Jiang Boya figured out such a harmful way after Liu Jiacheng left.
First, he gave the other party a large amount of money as compensation on the grounds that Fang Su had worked hard to give birth to the child in ten months, and then asked the gangster to snatch Fang Su's bag and get the money back.
Jiang Boya didn't want to take advantage of Fang Su, a poisonous woman. What he thought was that instead of taking advantage of the other party, it would be better to donate the money to the welfare home as a way to accumulate blessings for his baby daughter and his soon-to-be-born grandson.
At this moment, Jiang Boya returned to the hotel and arranged for his assistant to anonymously donate the wad of U.S. dollars he gave Fang Su, as well as the Tuan Tuan and Mao bills he took from Fang Su's wallet to the nearby welfare home.
"By the way, wait."
After calling to the assistant who was about to leave, Jiang Boya took out another wad of US dollars and gave it to the assistant: "Let's donate together."
The assistant reached out to take it, nodded and left.
Near evening, Jiang Boya, accompanied by two assistants, completed check-in procedures at a hotel near the institute's compound.
This was undoubtedly done to prevent Fang Su from getting entangled again.
Courtyard.
"What do you think about what Comrade Liu said?"
Before going to bed at night, Cai Xiufen remembered what Comrade Liu Jiacheng had said in person two days ago, and she couldn't help but make up her mind about Captain Jiang.
Hearing this, Captain Jiang responded: "You still need to ask me this?! Didn't Li Bao call us more than half a month ago?"
Cai Xiufen frowned slightly: "But Yan Qing is still busy."
"Li Bao doesn't want to affect his son-in-law's work. He will wait until his son-in-law has finished his work. It won't be too late for him to come over."
Thinking that Luo Yanqing was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest, Captain Jiang, the father-in-law, couldn't help but feel sorry for his son-in-law.
"Why don't you call the institute and ask about Li Bao's godfather? Yan Qing might be almost done with her work right now."
Cai Xiufen suggested.
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow at noon."
Even if the son-in-law can't go with them, they still have to inform him. Captain Jiang thought so. After a while, he asked: "Have you made an agreement with Li Bao's godmother?"
"I haven't gone to see the older girl yet."
Cai Xiufen explained: "Originally, I wanted to tell the eldest couple and ask them to come over and stay with the three children after we left, but when I thought about the eldest couple's shop being inseparable from people, I was a little hesitant."
Brother Jiang and his wife opened a hot pot restaurant of about 50 square meters not long after they came to Beicheng last year. Since the Panxia store didn't have enough money, Jiang Li learned about this and fulfilled her earlier promise without saying a word.
Not only did Dundun buy a delicious hot pot base recipe through the system as an investment, but he also gave Brother Jiang and his wife sufficient funds.
At the same time, Jiang Li also drew pictures of the interior and exterior decoration of the store and mailed them to Brother Jiang.
In short, with Jiang Li's unwavering support, Brother Jiang and his wife's hot pot restaurant has been booming since it opened.
What I want to say is that the clothing store opened by Jiang Sange and his wife is also doing very well.
Their store decoration is also inseparable from Jiang Li's contribution.
However, Jiang Sange and his wife have no plans to come to Beicheng for the time being.
As for Brother Jiang, he has not yet resigned, which means he is still working at the county transportation company.
But recently, Fourth Brother Jiang is hesitating whether to resign, well, to be more precise, take a leave of absence without pay.
After all, the country is revitalizing the economy and has begun to issue self-employed business licenses. Although being self-employed is not very respectable in the eyes of most people, and they feel that there is no reliable income from an iron job, but there are examples of Brother Jiang and Brother Jiang. Brother Jiang knows that there is a future for individuals.
To be more specific, it means getting money quickly!
"Then what do you think now?"
Captain Jiang asked Cai Xiufen.
"I want the eldest couple to sleep here at night."
Cai Xiufen said, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Breakfast will be cooked by the eldest daughter-in-law, and Ruirui and the others will eat lunch and dinner at Li Bao's godmother's place. Do you think this is okay?"
Captain Jiang did not answer immediately. He asked, "Who will take Ruirui and the others to and from school?"
"this……"
Cai Xiufen thought for a while and said, "Li Bao and her godmother are not in good health. She can cook two meals for the children every day. If she is responsible for taking them to and from school, she will be tired. How about you talk to her on the phone? Li Bao’s godfather said..."
The identity of the son-in-law was there. In the past, they could arrange for the three comrades to go abroad to take care of Li Bao. Now they need someone to take Ruirui and his brother and sister to and from school. I think they will make the same arrangements.
Captain Jiang: "Okay."
Noon the next day.
"Okay, I'll go to the gate right away."
After hanging up the phone, Captain Jiang stood up from the sofa and said, "Mr. Jiang is here. I'll go to the gate to get people in."
"Then hurry up and don't keep people waiting."
Cai Xiufen said, and walked out of the living room with Captain Jiang: "Eat soybean noodles for lunch?"
"Just watch and do it."
No matter what I eat, I always fill my stomach. Moreover, although I am not as food-stricken as before and I often go hungry, I am not picky about food.
Captain Jiang was very fast. After a while, a black car drove into the compound, and Captain Jiang was sitting inside.
Next to him, there was no doubt Jiang Boya sitting.
This time when they came to meet Captain Jiang and his wife, Jiang Boya only brought one assistant.
The car was rented, and the assistant sat in the passenger seat.
Originally, Jiang Boya wanted to buy a car directly, but it is still difficult to buy a car privately in China. In addition, Jiang Boya was about to leave the country, so he put aside the thought of buying a car for the time being.
"This is the home of Li Li and her lover?"
The car stopped slowly at the door of Jiang Li's courtyard. Jiang Boya got out of the car and looked at the courtyard door in front of him and asked Captain Jiang.
"Um."
Captain Jiang nodded and invited Jiang Boya to enter the courtyard.
"Sit down and I'll get you a glass of water."
As soon as he entered the living room, Captain Jiang greeted Jiang Boya and Jiang Boya's assistant, and the driver sat down. He then took three glasses, washed them, and made tea for the three of them.
"Brother, you don't have to be so polite to me."
Jiang Boya smiled, and after Captain Jiang also sat down, the two chatted about Jiang Li's childhood.
Well, the main reason was that Jiang Boya seemed to be asking casually, and Captain Jiang was answering. He had no idea that Jiang Boya was trying to trick him into learning interesting things about Jiang Li when he was a child.
Guessing that the three children of Ruirui were about to finish school, Captain Jiang stood up and said, "I have to pick up the children from school. Jiang...Brother Jiang, please sit down for a while."
For Captain Jiang, calling him Brother Jiang Boya was a bit hard to say out loud.
reason?
Standing in front of Captain Jiang, Jiang Boya was too young. Even standing with Brother Jiang, he looked much younger. However, when Jiang Boya saw Captain Jiang at the gate and learned the identity of Captain Jiang, he spoke Just call Brother Jiang and ask Captain Jiang to call him Brother Jiang.
After all, Captain Jiang didn't know that Jiang Boya was Jiang Li's biological father, but Jiang Boya knew very well that Captain Jiang was his precious daughter and the most respected adoptive father.
In order to be recognized by her daughter, Jiang Boya knew very well that she had to lower her profile in front of the little girl's adoptive parents, and at the same time, she had to find ways to get closer to her.
Otherwise, when my daughter calls me daddy, I will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse.
"How about I accompany Brother Jiang?"
Jiang Boya started to get up as he spoke.
"no, I'm fine."
Captain Jiang waved his hands repeatedly: "You sit down and rest for a while, I will be back soon."
With that said, Captain Jiang called Cai Xiufen to come to the living room to chat with Jiang Boya for a while, and he quickly walked out of the courtyard.
When Mingrui San was taken home by Captain Jiang, Jiang Boya looked at his precious daughter's stepchildren and immediately sighed to himself that Jiang Li knew how to raise children.
Look at the three children, all of them look smart and polite. The eldest boy, only eleven or twelve years old, feels very stable. Standing there, he looks like a straight little poplar tree.
After being introduced by Captain Jiang, Mingrui and the others said hello to Jiang Boya and the others.
Jiang Boya's mood was very subtle when his cheap grandson called him "Grandpa Jiang". He did not hesitate to give a big red envelope to each of the three.
But Jiang Boya didn't know that he felt a little uncomfortable being called Grandpa Jiang by Mingrui Sanji. Likewise, Mingrui Sanji was also particularly embarrassed.
In their eyes, Jiang Boya is at most a little older than their father, but just because the other party calls their father "Brother Jiang", they have to call each other "Grandpa Jiang". It's really embarrassing to think about it.
But I think so, Mingrui San only knows what politeness is. Since the master has introduced it like that, they naturally won't sway on the same title.
Lunch is steamed noodles.
Jiang Boya ate quite happily and praised Cai Xiufen for her good cooking skills.
…
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Captain Jiang sent the three Octavias to school. When he came back, Jiang Boya talked about the purpose of coming here.
"Li Li is pregnant with more than one child. Brother and sister-in-law, you should know that although Li Li's due date is at the beginning of next month, multiple pregnancies usually lead to premature birth, so I want to take a flight back tomorrow."
"We'll go with you, but I have to talk to my son-in-law."
Captain Jiang responded to Jiang Boya and continued: "Wait a moment."
He picked up the phone receiver and called Director Song's office.
When Director Song was connected, Captain Jiang exchanged greetings with Director Song and mentioned that he wanted to speak to Luo Yanqing.
"I'm going to call Yan Qing right now, and I'll ask him to call home directly later."
After hanging up the phone, Director Song went to find Luo Yanqing in person.
In fact, Luo Yanqing's project at hand was about to be completed, but after he finished talking to Captain Jiang, he agreed to Captain Jiang's decision without even thinking about it.
Captain Jiang and his wife went abroad to accompany Jiang Li first, so that Jiang Li would not be in trouble if he was born prematurely and had no family around to accompany him.
"Don't worry too much, Li Bao is very strong, she will be fine."
Seeing Luo Yanqing put the phone back on the phone, Director Song patted him on the shoulder and expressed comfort in a warm voice.
"I know...but I couldn't be with her during her pregnancy. Now she is about to give birth. If I can't be with her, I will feel that I am not worthy of being a husband or a father."
With that said, Luo Yanqing stepped up and prepared to leave: "I'm going back to the laboratory."
He had to work harder to finish the project before the end of the month, so that he might be in time for the birth of his child.
According to the progress of the project, there is only one final step left.
Before Director Song could respond, Luo Yanqing's figure had disappeared outside the office door.
Courtyard.
Jiang Boya and Captain Jiang agreed on a time to leave tomorrow and returned to the hotel.
"You go and talk to Li Bao's godmother, and I'll go to the boss and his friends."
"Okay, I'll find the older girl right now."
Cai Xiufen responded and went on a long trip with Captain Jiang.
Song family.
"If you ask me, don't bother your eldest nephew and his wife by running back and forth. As long as I'm here, you won't miss the children's three meals a day."
After hearing Cai Xiufen's intention, Ms. Qi didn't agree with Cai Xiufen asking Brother Jiang and the couple to rush to the compound every day to keep Mingrui's three companions.
Seeing that Cai Xiufen was about to say something, Ms. Qi added: "If you don't worry at night, I will just go over and keep the children company, or let the children eat and live with me."
"You have weak bones, so you can't bear to suffer."
Cai Xiufen comforted Ms. Qi, and then she said: "My eldest daughter-in-law and his wife are a little busy, but no matter how busy they are, they have to rest at night. Besides, they have hired people in the store. My eldest daughter-in-law should not be able to come over in advance." What's the problem?"
"Sister, are you having an affair with me?"
Ms. Qi was not in a good mood: "Li Bao is the daughter of you and Brother Jiang, but she is also the goddaughter of me and my old Song. This daughter is about to give birth to a child so far abroad. I am the godmother." I can't live with her, I can't stay by her side, I can't take care of her during confinement, so why can't I help her take care of the three children at home?"
"Sister, don't think too much, I'm really afraid that you'll be tired."
Patting Ms. Qi's hand, Cai Xiufen said: "Xuanxuan hasn't married yet and has children. If you are tired, won't it be my fault?"
Ms. Qi: "My health is not as bad as you said."
"It never hurts to be careful."
Cai Xiufen continued to comfort: "Sister, just listen to me. After my family and I leave tomorrow, you will have to worry about the children's lunch and dinner. Here are the money tickets. You can keep them until I and my family leave." When you come back, if the money is not enough, I will replenish it for you."
"Old sister, I said you and I were having an affair, but you really are an affair!"
Ms. Qi pretended to be angry: "Ruirui and the others call me "grandma," why can't I still control the children's meals?"
Cai Xiufen smiled: "My family and I are going to visit Li Bao this time. I'm afraid we will have to stay there for a long time. This requires you to take care of the food for Ruirui and the others, which is not just one or two meals." .”
"Then sister, please listen carefully. What I just said is just an example. Even if we keep the three children here, my Lao Song and I can still afford them."
With that said, Ms. Qi picked up the money ticket that Cai Xiufen put on the coffee table. Without saying anything else, she put it back into Cai Xiufen's hand: "Keep the money ticket, otherwise, I will be angry."
Hearing this, Cai Xiufen was startled for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll put it away."
At the worst, I can ask my son-in-law or Li Bao to give it back.
On the other side, Captain Jiang arrived at the hotpot restaurant run by Brother Jiang and his wife. Without saying much, Brother Jiang and his wife agreed immediately.
"Dad, you and your mother can go visit Li Bao without worry. Starting tomorrow, I will be in the compound before seven o'clock at the latest."
My sister-in-law helped the couple like that, but now she just needs her help to take care of the three children at home, which is not a big deal.
"Ruirui and the others are very sensible and won't cause you any trouble. You can at most help them wash clothes and cook meals. However, if the children have a headache or fever, you must take them to the doctor in time. "
Captain Jiang said this not only to Sister Jiang, but also to Brother Jiang. After all, if one of the three children gets sick, only one person will be watching, and most of them will be too busy.
"good."
Brother Jiang and Sister Jiang responded in unison.
"That's it."
Then catch the bugs. . .
