Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Simei approached the woman obediently and complimented her: "Auntie, your perm is so beautiful."

The woman responded with an elegant but slightly distant smile, "Oh? Thank you for the compliment, little girl, your braids are also beautiful," and praised the other person in a soft tone and with the characteristics of her dialect.

"I tied these knots myself. Even my sister can't praise me more than me," the little girl said proudly.

The other party smiled gently and then asked, "Then if there is a chance to dress up the little beauty in the future, okay? I will braid many beautiful braids for you."

Hearing such thoughtful words, the innocent Simei quickly agreed. "Great! Of course I do."

Qiao Erqiang, who was standing by and witnessing all the changes, was not surprised. This was all as expected, and he had a premonition that Qiao's father might be ready to sell his daughter for money.

Qiao Erqiang glanced sharply and meaningfully at Qiao Zuwang, who was still smiling politely. Qiao Zuwang avoided his gaze, and his smile faded, revealing a hint of guilt.

Qiao Yicheng couldn't help but wonder, why not Sanli? Why is it like this?

If someone in the family had to be adopted, he would prefer it to be Sanli, even though it would be difficult for him to see his sister again. But he felt that if possible, Sanli should be allowed to escape from her current living situation.

Feeling uneasy at the scene, Qiao Erqiang went straight back to his room. Qiao Yicheng stayed there until Qiao Zuwang sent the two teachers away. During this time, he heard from behind that one of the teachers, Mr. Shen, mentioned that the guesthouse where they lived was on the east side of the door.

After Qiao Zuwang escorted the guests out of the house, he walked into the room and called the children over: "Everyone come here, I have something to tell you."

When Qiao Erqiang didn't show up, Qiao Zuwang didn't mind. He sat down, crossed his legs, looked at the child in front of him and said, "There are many brothers and sisters in the family, but unfortunately your mother passed away early. Your father can't take care of everything by himself. The purpose of the newly arrived teachers Shen and Fu is..."

The meaning of this long conversation was that a couple planned to adopt four beauties.

This made Qiao Yicheng a little surprised: "Isn't it Sanli? Is it Simei?"

At this time Sanli replied in a delicate voice: "I don't want to go, I won't go. I don't want to go unless someone invites me."

And Simei jokingly said: "Who invited you to go?"

Then Sanli responded sharply: "We invite you, invite you to accept the guidance of the teacher who does homework every day, and write until your hands are tired!"

Simei was not to be outdone and replied: "Just do it, you can eat White Rabbit candies every day there and get your hair permed! I'm really going to piss you off!"

"I'm not angry at all. I'm not."

The dispute between the sisters made Qiao Yicheng feel anxious and his heart started beating fast.

Is the little magpie Simei about to leave? Will we never see her again?

Looking at each of his sisters, Qiao Yicheng wondered: Could I really bear to part with any of them?

Qiao Erqiang, who was standing at the door, mocked, "How dare you say that you are taking care of us! In fact, who hasn't made a living on their own and supported themselves through their own efforts? You only provide a meager living expense, and you still have the audacity to say that?"

However, Qiao Zuwang did not respond to Qiao Erqiang. He just looked at Simei and asked, "Are you willing to do this?"

The naive Qiao Simei thought that this was just an outing like visiting relatives in the past and that she could come back later, so she responded: "Of course I am willing."

The adoption procedures were completed quickly. In the following period, the couple visited Simei many times, bringing new clothes each time, and of course, they also prepared some small gifts for other children.

The four beauties were happy about this, but Sanli seemed indifferent and always looked at their performance with cold eyes.

Simei put on her new clothes and danced around the house, doing the dance steps she saw on TV and adapted herself.

At this time, Sanli looked at him coldly: "You are too complacent, Qiao Simei!"

Simei responded happily: "No one calls me Qiao Simei now. I have a new name, Shen Jingyi."

In the past few days, Qiao Yicheng was in a heavy mood, with a melancholy look between his brows. Only he himself understood the shadow in his heart, and this secret made him feel deeply depressed and painful. A few days later, the four beauties really left with the Shen couple.

In the middle of the night, Qiao Yicheng tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. In this silent night, the dark thoughts in his heart seemed to grow thicker and thicker like a lingering dark cloud.

On this day, his sleepless night also made Qiao Erqiang lose all sleepiness. In fact, Qiao Erqiang understood his brother's troubles very well - the arrival of the Shen couple disrupted the family atmosphere which was originally difficult but warm.

There is always selfish thoughts in human nature, and it is difficult to resist temptation.

Qiao Yicheng will eventually face his own weakness. Perhaps this meeting with the couple is exactly the life lesson he has to go through as he grows up.

Recently, Qiao Erqiang has been trying to distance himself from Simei, but this girl turned against him as soon as she saw something delicious. Going out and suffering a little might be good for her.

Simei didn't care about this because she had a beautiful new dress, a shiny new school bag and a new "mother" who would carefully braid her hair.

The next day, Qiao Yicheng returned home with his head down and a blank expression on his face. Qiao Erqiang showed a sarcastic smile to Qiao Yicheng's behavior; Qiao Yicheng felt as if Erqiang could penetrate his thoughts, which made him feel guilty and remorseful.

In the end, Qiao Simei left with Shen.

On the day of departure, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Holding the hands of their "new parents", Simei jumped for joy and walked out of their old home.

At this time, Qiao Erqiang also chased outside the house and waited; Sanli knew her sister's reluctance to leave. Sanli held Erqiang's arm and said, "Second brother, go back."

Erqiang stood there for a long time, and when his sister disappeared into the distance, he shouted loudly towards the empty road: "Simei!" Then he resolutely took Sanli back home.

This little brat who doesn't know how to cherish has wasted his love!

At the same time, the four beauties who were walking away seemed to suddenly realize something was different. They fought back and cried loudly, and lay in the dust rolling in their new clothes.

The streets echoed with Simei's calls: "Second brother, second brother! I want to go home!"

Finally, she was persuaded to leave. She kept looking back in the direction of Qiao's house and wiping away tears.

Originally, Qiao Yicheng and Sanli thought that this meant their sister would start a better life, but they didn't know that just one month later, Qiao Simei was sent back by the police.

New Life Chapter 20

Although he expressed his wish to let Simei experience frustration, Qiao Erqiang was still worried, so he trained a smart and talkative parrot from a farmer's house to accompany her as a companion. This smart bird can convey information and emotions, and can accompany and observe his sister. When the right opportunity comes, Qiao Erqiang will transform into a swift to visit his sister.

When Simei arrived at the bustling city of Suzhou, she was immediately fascinated by the colorful scene of the city. There were many things to enjoy here - gorgeous clothes, delicious snacks, interesting rides, spacious and comfortable houses, novel family combinations, and all kinds of sweet and tempting snacks and fresh fruits. This series of delightful experiences made her almost forget the hardships she had encountered in Qiaoyuan.

However, when she started her study career in a new school, Simei found that she needed to adapt to a completely new lifestyle and made many new friends.

At first, because of her lovely appearance, she quickly became the focus of attention of her classmates. Simei was also overwhelmed by this feeling of popularity, as if she had found a sense of belonging.

Simei was not a diligent student. On the contrary, she was naughty and hyperactive. She often did some non-academic activities in school, such as drawing or reading, or even talking with classmates. She was not good at completing her homework seriously. Although she was quite curious and interesting when she first entered school, her actions over time aroused the disgust of some classmates in the class. They thought that although she looked cute, she was not very friendly. Some of her friends would also make fun of her for speaking with a local accent. These experiences caused Simei to argue with other children several times and suffered rejection from peers and even accusations from teachers.

After being called to the school for interviews many times, her parents gradually lost their patience and began to blame her. They were even more angry when they carefully checked her completed homework - it was obvious that Simei was not focusing on academics.

Qiao Erqiang, who was watching all this, couldn't help but laugh secretly. He thought that this would help wear down Simei's pride. But when he saw his sister hiding in her room and crying, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. He turned into a swallow and flew close to the window, quietly dropping a piece of chocolate crisp that he used to send to her to comfort Simei.

Simei looked at the window in amazement at the figure of a swallow flying away and the piece of chocolate in her hand - it was the cream-flavored chocolate that her second brother usually gave her to satisfy her craving. This made her miss her brother while eating the candy, and she burst into tears and cried silently.

Simei never really adapted to the lifestyle in Suzhou Primary School. The school even told the two guardians that if this continued, Simei might be forced to stay and repeat the grade; if the situation did not improve, she would have to be transferred to another school. So Mr. Fu, the guardian, took it upon himself to tutor her in her studies.

Only after a close observation did he understand the situation of the children. Teacher Fu could only laugh and cry at the headache-inducing answers of the four beauties. Even the most gentle and patient person could not bear these outrageous wrong answers.

Examples include:

[Make a sentence containing "if".]

Answer: "Canned juice is not as delicious as fresh juice";

— Sky: "What can a penny do?" — "Ha! A sheep exhales";

What a wonderful idea! Why would a sheep be angry when nothing is wrong? !

For example, "breakfast cost": "If you buy two servings of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, it costs five cents." Please calculate:

1. The price of four buns is——

“2 ＋ 2 ＋ 2 ＋ 2=3D 8 分“;

2. The amount of money needed to eat three bowls of porridge is:

“5+3 =3D8 points” .

Although he got the first question right, he got the second question wrong. The third question in particular gave Mr. Fu a headache:
