Chapter 191, Back to Chapter City
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they were about to leave for the city.
The store over there will open tomorrow, and they have to go back one day in advance to make preparations.
"Okay, you go, we are here at home." Uncle Qiao patted the elder son on the shoulder, and said: "You are the boss of the family, and you have to take good care of your brothers outside. You are different from being at home. Here, don't quarrel with others, and be patient if you can bear it, we are in business, we pay attention to harmony and wealth."
Those of the older generation have lived in this small place all their lives, and the farthest they have gone is the town or other villages.For them, the outside world is another world.
Now a group of boys in their family are all outside, and they have to leave within a few days after they come back. Uncle Qiao is naturally reluctant in his heart.But he also knows that when the eagle grows up, it has to leave its parents and learn to fly by itself, otherwise it will always be a chick and cannot fly.
But when the children went outside, he was a little worried, afraid that his brothers would be bullied outside, and also afraid that something bad would happen to them when they were young and energetic, fighting with others.
"Well, Dad, I know. Don't worry, I will take care of them." Qiao Mingshan nodded, understanding his father's worry, and replied: "We don't cause trouble outside, and others won't provoke us. Even if someone comes to cause trouble, we just ignore it."
"That's good. With you here, you can watch them, and I can feel more at ease." Uncle Qiao knows the character of the eldest son. He is the boss of the family. Among the boys in the family, his son's age It is also the biggest one. It is very important to have someone who can manage things outside. He is still very relieved of his eldest son.
Later, Uncle Qiao told his other sons and several nephews, "You must work diligently outside, be a down-to-earth person, and don't do bad things."
"Father, I see. You've said this many times." Qiao Mingyong felt that his father was worried too much. How could they do anything bad.
Uncle Qiao glared at the youngest son. He was most worried about this youngest son, who was young and impulsive and could do anything.
But before he started to teach the young son, the child's mother took the son aside to teach him.
Aunt Qiao held her youngest son by the ear and pulled him aside to teach him, "Did you listen to what your father said just now?"
"Yes yes yes, I listened to it." Qiao Mingyong covered his ears while begging for mercy, "Mother, mother, let go of your hand, it hurts so much... I am so old, let's talk about it , you can't move your hands."
"I'm your own mother, what's the matter with your hands? Did you hear your heart go?" Aunt Qiao asked again.
"Listen to it, listen to it."
Qiao Mingyong nodded quickly, and his mother let go of his ears.
He hurriedly jumped far away, covering his aching ears with one hand, grinning his teeth, thinking what he was talking about to his father just now!
Qiao Mingshan glanced at the younger brother who was being taught a lesson, and gave him a "deserved" look.
"..." Qiao Mingyong received a caring look from his brother.
"It's clear that your family is building a house. After the new year, I will go to my husband to see an example and ask someone to build it." Uncle Qiao ignored his youngest son and turned to his nephew.
"Okay, I'll trouble you uncle. I'm not at home. Uncle, you can make up your mind about our house building. If I have time here, I will come back." Qiao Minglang plans to invite someone to come back for a few days after the next year. It's not a problem to always let a group of children from their family live in other people's homes.
Anyway, this house has to be raised sooner or later. If you get up earlier, you can let their children live in it earlier, otherwise it is not an option to always live in someone else's house.Their house was built on the side of several uncles' homes. From now on, the children will live here, under the care of several uncles and aunts, so he can do other things with peace of mind when he is away.
They made a lot of money that month before the year, plus the thousands of dollars his uncle gave him a few days ago, Qiao Minglang gave all the money to his uncle to help him build a house in the next year.If it is not enough by then, he will bring some back.
When the store opens for business after the year, they will have money.
"Okay, we are here, and we will help you with these things. If you are busy outside, just come back when you have time. If you really don't have time, just do your things." Uncle Qiao replied.
"Brother has gone to the city, you should study hard at home." Looking at his younger brothers and sisters with red eyes, Qiao Minglang also felt reluctant.
Huang Yan held Xiao Bao in her arms, and said to her nephew, "Study hard, we are here at home, so it's fine."
"Okay, thank you, aunt." Qiao Minglang thanked the aunts.
The brothers said goodbye to their family members, even though they were very sad, they still had to leave.
"Everyone is seated, let's go." Qiao Chunfu drove a tricycle with a group of nephews behind him to the town.
The buzzing car sounded, and the sound gradually faded away until the leaving car could not be seen, and the people standing behind were still unwilling to leave.
"Let's go, all go back." Aunt Qiao put her arms around the shoulders of the two little girls, calling for everyone to go back together, so the big guys walked back together.
***
This time, four brothers-in-law went with them to the city.Four of the five brothers-in-law came, and one of the brothers-in-law had something to do at home and couldn't come out with them.
Everyone gathered in the town, and then went to the city in a car together.
They took the first bus and set off, and it was around nine o'clock in the morning when they arrived in the city.
"Minglang, brother hall." Seeing them getting off the car from a distance, Zhou Xing got up from the stool he was sitting on and walked towards them with big strides.
"Hey, Ah Xing, why are you here?" Qiao Mingshan asked a little surprised seeing Zhou Xing appearing here.
"Didn't you guys say you would come back today? I happen to have nothing to do, so I thought of coming to pick you up." Zhou Xing looked at the young man standing aside. God knows he is counting the days every day, and when the young man will be return.If he didn't know that the boy didn't want him to follow them to their hometown, he would have rented a car and gone there.
After finally waiting for the day when the boy came back, he ran over to pick him up without even thinking about it.
The eyes of the two met, and they stretched out their hands not to slap the smiling face. Facing Zhou Xing's smiling face, Qiao Minglang really couldn't do anything to slap someone in the face, so he could only remain silent in the end.
"It's no use, there are so many people here, we just go back by ourselves." Zhou Xing's attitude was too frank, Qiao Mingshan never suspected that this person was playing the idea of his little cousin, otherwise he would now You won't treat this person so politely.
Noticing that there were a few unfamiliar faces following behind, they were people he didn't know, Zhou Xing guessed that they should be from their hometown.
Everyone said hello, and Qiao Mingshan introduced several of his brothers-in-law to Zhou Xing by the way, telling them that they were classmates of the little cousin.
A few men have been in the village all their lives, or
When I came back to the city for the first time, I was a little cautious when I saw strangers, and I didn't even know how to say hello.
Zhou Xing nodded to a few people, and seeing that Qiao Mingshan and the others were holding a lot of things, he said, "I ordered two cars to wait there. Everyone, go there first and take the car back. I drove today." Come here, Minglang still has some things on my side, I will take Minglang to my side by the way."
The second is the purpose of Master Zhou's visit today.
"That's it, that's okay. I'm still thinking about how many people are on our side and how we're going to sleep tonight. Since it's convenient for you..." Qiao Mingshan thought for a while, thinking that anyway, his cousin had They also live at Zhou Xing's side. There are too many people on their side, and the house is not enough to live in. It's okay to let the little cousin live at the cousin's side.
Qiao Mingshan turned his head and said to his little cousin, "Then Mingming, you can live with Ah Xing."
"En." Qiao Minglang could only nod his head.
"Then let's go." Seeing that Qiao Minglang was carrying a bag of things, Zhou Xing reached out to help carry it over, and led Qiao Mingshan and the others to the two taxis parked outside. He just yelled Two taxis are waiting here.
"Why don't we go back by bus." When Qiao Mingshan saw the taxi, he felt that taking this car was too expensive, and it was not as cost-effective as taking the bus back.
"The car has been ordered, so I'll just take this one, so I don't have to walk a long way. I'll pay all the money, so you don't need to pay later." Zhou Xing asked the driver to open the back trunk and let everyone put their things in it.
"Why do you need to give me money? I'll just pay the money."
"I've given it all, brother hall, don't worry about it all the time, get in the car."
Zhou Xing pushed Qiao Mingshan up, asked everyone to sit in the car, and pulled the young man to his side, for fear that the young man would follow his cousins into the car and refuse to follow him back to his place.
Waving his hand, seeing the car go away, Zhou Xing held the boy's hand and did not let go. With a bright smile on his face, he said, "We're going back too. You don't even know that I've been waiting for you for so many days before you come back." .”
Qiao Minglang had a cold face, he didn't want to pay attention to this person, he had only been back for a few days, how could it be so many days!
If he hadn't rushed back to open a shop, he would have stayed at home for a few more days before coming back.
"Don't frown, just smile." Zhou Xing pulled the man to the place where he parked, took the helmet hanging on it, and put it on the boy's head.
He leaned over, and the two of them met their eyes. He saw his reflection in the boy's eyes, and asked with a smile, "Are you so unhappy to see me?"
"No." Qiao Minglang turned his face away and sat in the car, not wanting to see Zhou Xing's face.
