"Why haven't you come yet?"
"It should be here soon."
The two younger brothers went to the station to pick up people, and Qiao Mingshan stayed in the store to watch the store. It was not known how many times he looked up and looked outside the store door.The store is busy at this time, and he can't leave if someone is here, otherwise he will go to pick him up.
Except for him who can drive the tricycle bought in the store, only his youngest younger brother can drive it, so it fell on younger brother to pick him up.
"Boss, here are two bowls of fish noodles, put more chives and peppers."
"Okay, just wait."
Grabbing a handful of cut noodles and throwing them into the pot to cook, Qiao Mingshan heard the sound of a car buzzing outside, scooped up the cooked noodles with a colander and put them in a bowl, scooped two spoonfuls of soup and The fish went up, sprinkled two handfuls of chives and some chili peppers on it, the movement was done in one go, and then called for someone to come over and bring it over.
"I'll go out and have a look, it should be Aniang and the others."
The car had already stopped in front of the store, and Qiao Mingshan didn't have time to wash his hands. He wiped his dirty hands on the apron around his waist, and went out to pick up people with a happy face.
As for whether to pick up the old lady or the beautiful daughter-in-law, I am afraid that only this man knows best.
Qiao Mingyong parked his tricycle on the side, got out of the car, and wanted to go around and open the guardrail.He saw that his elder brother had already come out of the store and opened the guardrail to let his mother and sisters-in-law down.
"Mother, please slow down." Qiao Mingshan helped his wife, wife and children to get out of the car. After waiting so long, he finally saw someone coming. His face could not hide his joy.
"Hey, we know how to get off. We don't need to be helped." Mrs. Qiao got out of the car. She is over 50 years old. She has no waist pain and leg pain, and she has no problem getting up and down.
"Mother, be careful."
When he received his daughter-in-law, Qiao Mingshan was reluctant to let go of her daughter-in-law's hand.
The husband and wife haven't seen each other for half a year, and they must miss each other very much in their hearts.Seeing her husband looking at her in a dazed manner, even forgetting to let go of hers, Chen Mingzhu smiled and pulled his hand back, pushed her husband, and asked him to hug her son.
Qiao Conglin, who had been forgotten by his parents, was still on the car, biting his fingers and looking at his own father.
"Come down." After being pushed by his wife, Qiao Mingshan remembered his son, stretched out his hand to lift him down, and rubbed his son's head vigorously with his big hand. It was incomparable to the gentleness with which he helped his wife just now.
Qiao Minglang reached out to lift his younger brothers and younger sisters down, and held a twin with one hand.
When I arrived in a strange place, I met many strange people, and the children were much more honest than they were in the car just now.
"It's good if you come. I was wondering why you haven't arrived for so long. Did you delay on the way?" It was the first time for the family to travel far away. Ever since receiving the call, Qiao Mingshan was a little worried.
"I also told Mingyong to go home and pick you up, but you refused."
Originally, he wanted his younger brother to go home directly to pick up the person, so as not to have any accidents on the way, and if the person was lost, they didn't know where to find it.
"It's not like we won't come. Are you afraid that we'll get lost? Your fifth uncle sent us to the town for a ride. The few of us got in the car, slept, and came to the city after waking up." Aunt Qiao wanted to visit her sons in the city, but she didn't want to cause trouble for them.
Qiao Mingshan thought to himself, am I just afraid that you will lose it?
However, he still asked A Niang and his wife to sit inside. There happened to be an empty table at the door. Someone in front got up and left after eating. Qiao Mingshan asked someone to come over and clear the table. Get something and go back to Minglang to rest."
"Minglang and Mingjing are all in two stores outside the two cities, so they may come here later."
They have opened three stores now, and Qiao Mingshan has arranged for his younger brothers to work in the other two stores.
Compared with going to the new store, he prefers to go to the old store, where he is more familiar with the people around him, and he can chat and chat with everyone while working every day.After the new store opened, he returned to the old store here.
"Oh, I know." Mrs. Qiao knew this, and she didn't see the other sons and nephews here, so she guessed that they went to the other two stores.
"Auntie and sister-in-law, you are here."
"Mother, sister-in-law, you are here."
The people working in the store are all their own people, and they all know Mrs. Qiao and Chen Mingzhu, and they all greeted each other.
Two of them were Aunt Qiao's sons-in-law, and when they saw her, they would call Auntie.
"Hey, I'm busy with work. You are busy and you are busy, don't worry about us." It was the first time for Auntie Qiao to come back to the city, and it was also the first time to visit the shop opened by her son.
Seeing so many people eating inside and outside the store, and knowing that the store's business is good, it means that their store is making money every day, so Aunt Qiao is naturally happy.
Some regular customers in the store who often come to eat saw the boss’s family members coming, and knew that the old lady was the boss’s own wife, and said with a smile: “Boss, this is your aunt, she looks so young. "
"Hehe, you're not young, you're not young, you're old." Mrs. Qiao replied with a smile.
"You guys sit here, I'll get you a few bowls of noodles." Qiao Mingshan had to rush back to cook the noodles, so he asked his mother and daughters-in-law to sit there.
"You guys sit here for a while, and I'll help."
"it is good."
Seeing that his cousin was busy there, Qiao Minglang handed over the two twins to the three older children, and also went to help his cousin.
Several large bowls of hot noodles were brought over, the adults served them directly in large bowls, and the children served them in small bowls.
"Mother, eat, if you don't have enough, just tell me." Xu Ping served noodles to his mother-in-law.
"Hey, that's good." Seeing the third daughter's son-in-law serving them noodles, Mrs. Qiao nodded with a smile, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"We all ate earlier." Xu Ping replied.
They usually order to fill their stomachs in advance, otherwise when there are many people, they will have no time to eat when they get busy.The store is for food, and they eat all they eat in the store, so they can have a full stomach every day, and they won't be hungry.
Compared with what they used to eat at home, it must be better to eat now.
So after a few people came to the city to work, instead of losing weight, they all gained weight, and the people at home were very happy to see them.
"Mother, you eat noodles, be careful of burning them." Xu Jiu said.
"Oh, that's good." Aunt Qiao was so happy that she forgot to eat noodles.
Everyone went out early in the morning, and it took so long to get to the city by car. Just now, it took another half an hour in the car to arrive at the store. It was almost noon now.Even if the adults are not hungry, the children are already hungry.
Chen Mingzhu and Qin Yun were feeding their son noodles, and sisters Qiao Xiaohui and Qiao Xiaofen were also taking care of their two youngest brothers and sisters.
After eating, Mrs. Qiao got up to help clean up.
"Aniang, you don't need to come here, you go back and rest." Seeing his mother-in-law helping to clean up the dishes, Xu Ping rushed over and snatched away the things.With both hands empty, Mrs. Qiao smiled helplessly and said, "This kid, it's just a few bowls, and he rushed to take them away."
It just so happened that Qiao Mingshan wasn't so busy at the moment, so he came out to see his mother-in-law and his daughters-in-law, and when they saw that they had finished eating, he said, "I'll ask Minglang to take you to his place and go back to rest. for a while.
When Mingliang and Mingjing come back in the evening, we will go out for dinner and then go back to pick you up. "
"Oh, you can arrange whatever is convenient for you, we don't care." Aunt Qiao saw that the youngest grandson had already fallen asleep in the arms of her daughter-in-law, so she said hello, "Then let's go with Minglang .”
"Okay." Qiao Mingshan said to his little cousin, and asked him to drive everyone over there.
Qiao Mingyong took the keys and went out to drive, Qiao Minglang went back with him.
It took everyone here by car. It was not very far from the store to the place he rented, and the place he rented here was also very close to the place where his cousins lived.There is a road in front of the newly rented house, and the car can be parked at the door.
"It's here." Qiao Minglang opened the door with the key he was carrying, knowing that his aunt and sisters-in-law were coming, he cleaned up the house ahead of time.
There is also a small yard in front, where the original owner planted some flowers and plants.
This is also the reason why Zhou Xing didn't really object when he said he wanted to rent this place. In fact, he fell in love with this place when he saw this small courtyard at first sight.It's just that it would be better if the monthly rent is not so expensive.
"Oh, this place looks good. How much do you rent here for a month?" Aunt Qiao came in and fell in love with this small courtyard at first glance.
Qiao Minglang casually reported a figure, which of course was much lower than the actual rent.
But after hearing this, his aunt still said it was too expensive, so Qiao Minglang had no choice but to explain, "I share it equally with my classmates, half of each person." In fact, Zhou Xing gave two years' rent in one go, and they could live here. until they graduate from high school.
"Oh, that's okay." With comparison, Aunt Qiao can still accept half of the rent.
"There are two rooms here. Auntie and sister-in-law live in this one, and there is another one over there. Second sister and third sister can live in that one, or you can discuss how you want to live. Mingcheng and I Just live outside this living room." Qiao Minglang took everyone to see the room and asked them to arrange how to live.
He had already greeted Zhou Xing before Zhou Xing, and wanted to borrow his room over there for his family to live in for a few days, and Zhou Xing also agreed, otherwise it would be difficult for him to bring someone to live in Zhou Xing's room.
