Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Because he has a competent father, but Qiao Yicheng lost; he has the love of his mother, but Qiao Yicheng does not. In every aspect, Qi Weimin surpassed himself.

Qi Weimin seemed to have always been in front of Qiao Yicheng. Although he had no intention of doing so, he cast a huge shadow in Qiao Yicheng's heart, like a covering.

Good things never happen more than once, but bad things often happen in succession. When Qi Weimin was admitted to his ideal college as the top student in liberal arts, Qi Zhiqiang's health suddenly started to deteriorate.

Qi Weimin originally planned to apply to Peking University, but now he had to change his choice to the local Nanjing University.

Qiao Yicheng always believed that there is a kind of people whose bodies are as unbreakable as a copper wall and iron wall, and they will not be easily troubled by harm, and Qi Zhiqiang is just the example of this kind of people.

Qiao Yicheng had never seen him sick or tired. Qi Zhiqiang always stood up full of energy instead of sitting down to rest.

But he suddenly fell ill without any warning.

The doctor confirmed: it is advanced liver cancer and is almost irreversible.

Qi Zhiqiang, who was seriously ill, returned home from hospitalization and had been bedridden for more than a year. The day before his death, he asked to see Qiqi. Qiao Yicheng took Sanli, Simei and Qiqi to Qi Zhiqiang's home.

Erqiang did not go directly into the room to meet them, but like a swift, he told the past experiences about Wei Shuying and Wei Shufang. Erqiang believed that life is always full of extreme helplessness, whether it is bitter or sweet, happy or sad, it all constitutes a part of life. After waking up, Qi Zhiqiang stretched out his hands to Qiao Qiqi and called him: "Qiqi, come here."

When Qiqi approached, Qi Zhiqiang stroked his face with his hand: "You really look like your mother."

Rebirth in Siheyuan Text Volume 027 Qiao Erqiang stood outside the house and talked to himself: Sooner or later, I am destined to leave this world. Perhaps leaving early will allow me to be reborn sooner.

Like him, who seems to be immortal, he can only watch the characters in his life leave one by one, storing the memories deep in his heart.

Only the women he loves can stay in his secret space forever, unaffected by the passage of time, waiting for the day when he can allow them to ascend to heaven and stay by his side forever with immortal bodies.

Meanwhile, Qiao Zuwang stayed at home alone and did not attend Qi Zhiqiang's memorial service. He drank a small glass of strong liquor and murmured to himself while chewing peanuts: "Qi Zhiqiang is such a kind person, but it's a pity that good people don't always exist. It seems that I should not be a perfect good person!"

Qiao Erqiang heard this and didn't know how to respond. Indeed, this old man's lifestyle can be said to be very selfish, but he also avoided many troubles that good people often have, except that he was a little lonely in his later years. It is undeniable that such a life is actually much more comfortable!

The days of good people are often hard and tiring, while the lives of evil people usually seem free and easy; those who are reckless and extremely selfish always live an enviable life!

Qiao Erqiang wants to be a person who is both wise and knows how to do evil!

After losing an important pillar of support, the Qi family still had to make ends meet. Although they received a one-time compensation from the factory, they had to keep the money for their son to start a family and a career in the future.

Wei Shufang sought help from the community and got a job cleaning the streets and a public toilet. Qi Weimin, who was studying at university, got up early every morning to clean the streets for his mother, and also cleaned the public toilets in the afternoon when he had no classes.

Qiao Yicheng entered the Normal College in Jinling, so Qiao Erqiang found him and had an in-depth conversation with him.

"You obviously have excellent grades that can get you into Tsinghua University or Peking University, but why did you choose a local normal school here? I told you before that I have already taken care of all the tuition and miscellaneous fees!"

Qiao Yicheng said, "That's not my intention! You still have Sanli, Simei and others, plus Qiqi is staying at home. If I go to school too far away from them, I will inevitably feel uneasy."

After hearing these words, Qiao Erqiang felt very warm. He still said stubbornly, "What's the point? I can take care of the family. Why should I bother you?"

The third daughter of the Qiao family is now thirteen years old and in the first grade of middle school. Although this girl has a somewhat eccentric personality, she always shows a more cheerful side in front of her second brother.

In addition to working at Jojo Fried Chicken, she often shows a cold attitude towards outsiders. Once something makes her unhappy, she will yell at the other person and her words are so fluent that others are surprised.

Why would such a beautiful and elegant girl behave like a shrew?

Whenever he saw this scene, the old grandfather of the Qiao family would complain privately: "How ungrateful!"

When facing Qiao Erqiang, the third sister would never let this happen; after all, she was afraid that he would get tired of her.

In comparison, this made Qiao Simei always seem a little jealous, as if her brother was always particularly partial to the most special one among her three sisters!

One day, Qiao Erqiang had nothing to do so he took a tour of Jojo's fried chicken shop and returned home early.

Recently, he bought a two-story building nearby. As they grow older, the girls have gradually entered middle school age and are no longer suitable to sleep in the same room. Therefore, this two-story building can meet their needs. It can accommodate Sanmei and Qiqi to live with Erqiang, and it can also be used by Qiao Yicheng to stay overnight when he returns to his hometown.

After all, it was an old building, so they hired several bricklayers to do a thorough repair to prevent rainwater from leaking in. Therefore, Qiao Erqiang went back every day to supervise.

Early this morning he rushed to the market to purchase the building materials specified by the master and had no time to cook.

Generally speaking, if the second brother is unable to prepare the morning meal, the third sister will usually take the fourth sister and Qiqi to the nearby hawker stall to buy a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup for breakfast. However, the third sister always feels that the food sold there lacks the flavor of the second brother's.

After delivering the construction materials, Qiao Erqiang returned to the yard, thinking that today he would do the same thing and let Sanli take her younger sisters and brothers out for dinner and then go to school together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the inner room, he heard sobbing. Qiao Erqiang was startled and hurried forward to check.

It was Sanli who was crying!

He asked distressedly: "Sanli, what happened? Why are you hiding here?"

Facing Sanli's intermittent sobbing, it seemed like she couldn't breathe smoothly.

Qiao Erqiang helped her up from the corner and comforted her gently: "Don't be sad, Sanli, be obedient and tell me what happened and why you are so sad? Did someone bully you?"

Sanli cried and said, "Brother, I am bleeding. Am I going to die? Is it because of the harm done to me by that evil man in the past that I will bleed continuously until I die when I grow up? I am afraid I can't stand it..."

"Bleeding? Where is it bleeding? Why can't I see it?" Qiao Erqiang felt confused and unsure of the situation, then he reached out to touch and found **.

It is a pity for girls who have no one to teach them. They have absolutely no knowledge about physiological hygiene.

So, Qiao Erqiang played the roles of father and mother, closed the doors and windows, began to educate her, then took warm water to wash off the stained pants, and helped to clean herself.

I put a large disinfectant tape on her, changed her into fresh clothes, and told her to stay in bed to avoid the cold wind.

Sanli felt very warm in her heart at this moment. Although her second brother had a bad temper, he really cared about her.

Qiao Erqiang went outside to prepare some ginger and jujube syrup for her. When he saw Sanli sipping the syrup slowly, he thought that he should teach Simei the relevant physiological knowledge in the future.

He found a picture book that explained the female menstrual cycle and how to get pregnant, and also emphasized the importance of hygiene and personal cleanliness.

Afterwards, Sanli put her face against his chest and asked for a hug. Qiao Erqiang understood Sanli's shyness and need for comfort as she grew from a child to a young girl. He held her for a while, and then Sanli told him about Simei and Qiqi's school schedule for the day and Qiao Yicheng's recent situation.

Qiao Yicheng has been extremely busy recently because a college professor asked him to tutor an 18-year-old girl.

During this period of time, Qiao Erqiang hardly saw Qiao Yicheng, and always thought that he was as distracted as the white cat that strayed into his home in spring.

Qiao Erqiang plans to instruct several of his followers to keep a close eye on Qiao Yicheng. Once they learn that he is working as a private tutor, they must collect relevant information for future use.

In order to protect his business, Qiao Erqiang was very ruthless in dealing with the locals who tried to take advantage of him. No matter how deep the background of these people was, he would not let them go, and he would strictly discipline and train these men to make them loyal to him.

"That's right!" Song Siming's face was full of smiles. He enjoyed the instant change in Haiping's expression, from listlessness to surprise.

“This yam tastes really good!”

"That's right. Every dish in this restaurant sounds ordinary, but tastes unique. This bowl of soup is a delicious thick soup made with pheasant and specially selected ingredients, and the silky part is actually first-class bird's nest."

"These ingredients are indeed precious. I heard they are high-end stuff. I am lucky enough to try them today."

Song Siming smiled even more brightly and said, "No matter how high-end it is, it's just a bowl of yam soup here."

Then Song Siming drove Haiping to a luxurious mansion. When they approached there, Haiping's heart couldn't help but beat fast.

Because she knew what was going to happen, she was looking forward to it.

This complex relationship is like a powerful magnet, which repels people when facing it, but makes people want to be attracted to it when turning their backs on it.

Time passed, and in the following weeks, Haiping and Song Siming spent romantic time together from time to time and had frequent gatherings. Although Song Siming was already 40 years old, he was still full of energy; each date lasted for half an hour and was full of new ideas. For Haiping, who was in the stage of longing for love, it was very satisfying!
