Chapter 155, Third Watch
When they arrived, Auntie Wu told everyone about his return. The family knew that he was back, so they were not surprised to see him here. Qiao Minglang said hello to the elders and cousins.
"Uncle, uncle mother."
"Hey, Minglang is back. Just now your fifth aunt told us about you, so you came." Aunt Qiao saw that her nephew came so early, and not only said: "You child, it's hard for us to go to school after a long time." It's a vacation, why don't you sleep for a while."
Seeing the big boy next to her nephew, she knew that this was a classmate brought back by her nephew. It was the first time for Aunt Qiao to see such a tall and handsome boy, and said with a smile: "This is your classmate, this boy looks cute. Really spiritual."
Qiao Minglang introduced the people in the room to Zhou Xing, and Zhou Xing followed Qiao Minglang and shouted, "Hi, uncle."
"Hey." Mrs. Qiao replied with a smile.
Firewood is burning in the stove, and hot water is burning in the cauldron. After the weather is cold, the kitchen that feels too hot in summer feels warm in winter.
Grandpa Joe moved into the kitchen from the outside and sat in front of the stove to help set the fire.Yuxi is a good read.
Knowing that grandpa was in the kitchen, Qiao Minglang went to the kitchen and called out, "Grandpa."
"Good grandson." Grandpa Qiao was very happy to see his grandson coming back. He held his grandson's hand with his hand that had been warmed by the fire. When he found that his hand was so cold, he reprimanded him, "It's so cold, why don't you wear more clothes?" A piece of clothing, look at this little hand is cold, come and warm up with grandpa."
"Just came in from the outside, it's just the wind blowing." Qiao Minglang was dragged to the stove by his grandfather to warm up, Zhou Xing squatted beside him, and he introduced to his grandfather that this was his classmate.
"My dear grandson brought his classmates back, sit down." Grandpa Qiao pulled a small stool over, and said to his grandson, "Sun brings his classmates to sit in the living room, and pour a glass of water for them... Forget it, I'll go with you." You go together."
"It's okay, I can just sit here. Grandpa doesn't have to leave, just sit here, it's warm here." Qiao Minglang gave his grandfather a hand. There is a fire in the kitchen, and the old man can sit here to keep warm, which is better than sitting outside.
"Hello, grandpa." Zhou Xing followed suit and called grandpa.
There is a grandfather in his family. He was brought up by his grandfather since he was a child, and he has a natural liking and closeness for the elderly.He used the skill of coaxing the old man learned from his grandfather to the old man in front of him, and quickly won the old man's favor.
"You sit here with grandpa, and I'll go outside."
Seeing that Zhou Xing was chatting happily with his grandfather, and everyone was busy at the moment, Qiao Minglang couldn't sit still, and was going to help, "Grandpa, you are here, I'll go out and have a look."
With that said, he got up and went outside.
Zhou Xing was talking with the old man, and when he saw Qiao Minglang going out, he turned his head to look at the young man's leaving back, and said a few words to the old man, and he followed him out.
Qiao Minglang was helping with work outside, when he saw Zhou Xing coming out, he turned his head and glanced at the man, and asked, "What are you doing out here, why don't you sit with grandpa inside for a while?"
"What are you going to do, I'll help." Seeing Qiao Minglang working, Zhou Xing wanted to help.
"You don't need to come, we can do it." Qiao Minglang blocked Zhou Xing with his body, but unfortunately he didn't block anyone.Seeing that Zhou Xing was coming to help with work, he couldn't stop him, so he had to ask someone to come over.
Several cousins in the family let him abduct several of them, and now only two cousins are left at home. They grind the beans for making tofu in the morning with the help of the two cousins.
If there are fewer people, there will be more work. Everyone gets up very early every day.
"How did you do this?" President Zhou even pushed the stone mill at such an age, and asked a cousin. After he knew how to grind it, he went to help push the stone mill.
Qiao Mingliang quit his previous job and came back to help the family. Originally, he wanted to go to the city with him, but seeing that the store didn't need so many people for the time being, he sent his younger brother to go, and he stayed at home to help.
He knew that this boy was a classmate brought back by his cousin, and he followed him to their house to play.Seeing someone pushing the stone mill easily, Qiao Mingliang smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite strong."
"Haha, it's okay." Zhou Xing was helping to push the stone mill, and soon became acquainted with the two cousins, and told them some things in the city.
He usually goes to the store often, and he is familiar with Qiao Mingshan and the others. Now he chats with everyone, and there are many topics to talk about.
"You little classmate, you're pretty good." Uncle Qiao saw that the classmates brought back by his nephew were helping with work, and they did it quite neatly.
Qiao Minglang glanced over there, smiled, and said, "It's okay."
After the beans are ground, they have to be filtered and boiled, and the filtered soy milk is sent to the kitchen for cooking.In addition to making tofu and bean curd, they also make bean skin and bean curd sticks, and they also sell bean cakes.
Early in the morning, when Uncle Qiao and his fishing boat came back, they sent the fish over.Uncle Qiao took the fish from his brother, and the two greeted each other, both of them still had things to do.
After doing business for a period of time and earning a little money, Uncle Qiao spent money to buy a tricycle, so that they would carry things to the town to sell every day, and they would use the tricycle to go without having to carry a burden. Much easier.
There is also a bicycle at home, which can seat two people.
When their things were ready and the sky was still light outside, they were going to go to town.After the children of the family went to the city, they no longer went to the neighboring villages to sell things, but only sold things in the town and their own village.
"Mingming, you bring your classmates at home, so you don't have to go with us." Seeing that his nephew wanted to go with them, Uncle Qiao refused to let him go, "Your classmates finally came to our place, you take them to have a good time , don’t go.”
"That's good." Qiao Minglang thought for a while, and felt that if he went to the town, he would definitely bring this person with him.
Zhou Xing helped with the morning's work, sweating from the heat in the winter, and also experienced the life of a teenager in the past.Although he knew for a long time that the boy's parents were not around, and his life with his younger siblings must be very difficult, but knowing it and experiencing it for himself is completely different.
Qiao Chunfu drove his elder brother and his wife on a tricycle, and the two children got on bicycles and followed behind them, and everyone went out together.
After sending his uncle and cousins out, Qiao Minglang went back to help pack things.Not long after, the eldest girl of their family came with the two twins.
"Brother, when did you come back?" Qiao Xiaohui didn't know that her brother was back. She took her sisters to bed early last night, but she didn't see her when she woke up this morning. She only saw him when she came to his house. A pair of beautiful His big eyes were wide open, with a look of surprise on his face.
"I came back last night." Qiao Minglang introduced Zhou Xing to his younger sister, saying that he was his classmate.
"You, hello." The first time Qiao Xiaohui saw the classmate brought back by her brother, she only glanced at him, and she lowered her head shyly.
Zhou Xing took a look at Qiao Minglang's younger sister, then at the young man beside him, and felt that his young man was still good-looking.
The two twins did not forget his big brother. The youngest sister ran over and hugged his leg, calling him brother, while the other child stood there without moving.
Qiao Minglang knew that the child must remember him, thinking of the sound of the child crying behind him when he left last time, he couldn't help feeling distressed and guilty.
Crouching down, Qiao Minglang put his arm around the little sister, stretched out his hand to the other child, and said, "Xiaobao, come here and give brother a hug?"
Qiao Xiaobao glanced at his brother. His sister told him that his brother was going to study. He knew that it was not that his brother didn't want them, but he just went to study.
But Qiao Xiaobao was still a little unhappy after his elder brother had gone for so long.Hearing his elder brother calling him, he glanced at his elder brother several times with his small eyes, but finally couldn't resist the longing for his elder brother's embrace, so he walked over shyly, letting his elder brother hold him in his arms, and he hugged him with both hands. brother's neck.
"elder brother."
"Hey, my brother is here."
Zhou Xing saw that Qiao Minglang had two younger brothers and sisters. The two children looked very similar. He knew that these two were twins, so he thought it was quite amusing.
Thinking of the boxes of things they brought back, Qiao Minglang didn't even know what Zhou Xinghui bought, so he told his grandfather, and he took a group of younger brothers and sisters back to Uncle Wu's house.
"So you really have a younger sister in your family." On the way, Zhou Xing leaned into Qiao Minglang's ear and said.
Qiao Minglang remembered the joke this person had played with him last time, and turned his head to stare at this person.
As if guessing what the young man was thinking, Zhou Xing smiled happily, and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, I still like you the most."
"...Shut up!" Qiao Minglang walked faster, but he didn't know that his face turned red because of the other party's words.
When they returned to Uncle Wu's house, they took the big boxes in the corner and opened them. Seeing the two boxes of candies and biscuits, and the two boxes of tobacco and alcohol, Qiao Minglang felt the veins on his forehead twitching, and couldn't help it. He reached out and pressed his forehead.
"Wow... so much candy!" The children at home saw a large box full of candies. They had never seen so many candies when they grew up. A group of children gathered around several boxes with their mouths wide open. Surprised.
After being surprised, Third Sister Qiao sucked in her saliva, turned to look at their elder sister, and asked, "Are all these candies for us?"
"You can't finish eating, you have to give some to Uncle and Uncle's family." Qiao Minglang turned his head and glanced at Zhou Xing, he really didn't know what these things were in the box.
After being glanced at by Qiao Minglang, Zhou Xing had an innocent face. He didn't know what to buy, didn't he just take a little of everything, who knows... just a little too much?
