Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Qiao Erqiang saw that Simei was being stingy, so he also hugged her and said, "Okay, okay, it's just like a kid who can't get candy. Let's go home quickly. This time, my second brother went to ** and brought back a lot of delicious snacks."

When Simei heard that her second brother had brought back a lot of delicious foreign food, she immediately said ecstatically, "Second brother, what delicious food did you bring back? Let's go home now!"

At home, Qiao Erqiang prepared a portable tape player for each of Sanli, Simei and Qiqi, as well as some snacks, such as cheese lollipops, chocolate beans, potato cakes, cream biscuits, cheese waffle bars, Danish cream biscuits and chocolate lava cakes, as well as donuts, Tramis cakes and a series of other delicious foods.

All of this made Simei very happy. He also prepared many tapes of popular singers, such as Michael Jackson, Tyron Jun, and a special album called "Sexy Music" and Nakajima Meili from the summer music scene.

When Simei heard the foreign song called "Sexy Music", she immediately asked Qiao Erqiang: "Second brother, second brother, why is this foreign song so similar to the song of our God of Song Fei Xiang?"

Qiao Erqiang took it and looked at it and then said, "Oh, this is the 'Fire in the Winter'. That song was not originally sung by Fei Xiang. In fact, it was a song from a foreign song album several years ago. In fact, it was first translated by Gao Lingfeng in ** area as early as 2982. [Too much sensitive content, cannot continue to output]

Looking at the handsome face of her second brother in recent years, Simei had to admit that his appearance had improved significantly. But she still pouted and said unconvincedly: "Even if the second brother is handsome, he is just the second brother, but I think our Qiqi is more beautiful, and has the unique style of brother Fei Xiang."

Qiao Erqiang was indeed a little angry when he heard these words. He thought to himself: Well, we'll see, Qiao Simei! From now on, if any singer or star emerges, I will expose their secrets and **.

I will completely shatter your fantasies about those idols and make them lose all their glory! At the same time, I will expose those fanatical fans and point out the fact that they have wrong views!

There are many artists nowadays, especially those who only know how to imitate and have no creativity. But when it comes to the most influential singers in the music industry, it must be Beyond! No one can surpass them!

Humming the melody of Beyond, "There is a force pushing me forward, no need to care about the shackles of reality..." Qiao Erqiang couldn't help but think of Huang Jiaju, and sighed in his heart.

How can those old and backward disco be compared? ! Unfortunately, at that time, the understanding of art by the mainland people had not kept up with the pace. Recalling the experience of the Beyond band, he did not want them to stay away from the local market in order to seek novelty; if there is a chance, he will try to convey his intentions to distant supporters and let overseas friends lend a hand to them.

Perhaps because Sanli is in the sensitive period of adolescence, she has just been through some things, and now the lovely Qiao Simei is also affected by this stage and becomes rebellious.

Today, Qiao Yicheng, who came home to visit his family, walked in and was seen by Sanli. "Big brother! You are back," she said. Recently, the relationship between Yicheng and Wenjia has gradually warmed up, so this time when he returned home, he was no longer sad, but smiling.

Yicheng put down his schoolbag and prepared to rest. At this moment, Qiqi handed Yicheng a wet rag to wipe his hands and face. His father Qiao Zuwang saw this scene and couldn't help but said in a smile: "Oh, our scholar is back. It seems that we should celebrate! After all, he is a college student with outstanding achievements!"

At this time, Qiao Erqiang, who was serving pork ribs and stewed radish, shouted, "Dinner is ready!"

When he saw his eldest brother coming back, he also said, "Hey, the intellectual in the family is back!"

Qiao Yicheng glanced at Erqiang who was teasing him to express his dissatisfaction; however, this did not make Qiao Erqiang show a serious expression or any change.

After looking around and not finding any trace of Simei in the house, Qiao Erqiang asked Sanli, "Where is Simei?"

"I don't know where she went. It's almost time for dinner and she hasn't come back yet," Sanli responded.

Qiqi interrupted in a low voice, "She must have gone to her second aunt's shop to buy celebrity stickers."

Hearing that she hadn't arrived yet, Yicheng said helplessly, "Since she's not coming to eat, it's obvious that she's not hungry. Let's eat first and ignore her."

Qiao Yicheng was very annoyed by Simei's behavior, especially since apart from Erqiang, almost no one could persuade this sister!

As for the father who didn't care about all this, he just started eating and scooping soup. He picked out a few bones with more meat and enjoyed them.

When Erqiang didn't allow him to eat at the table, Lao Qiao instigated Yicheng and Sanli to intercede for him, saying that if they paid for the food, they should be able to eat together. Otherwise, they would go out and spread rumors of family disharmony, or they would encounter bad things.

Starting Again from the Siheyuan - Chapter 030 Rong'er's Death

When Simei returned home, she fell on the bed with tears streaming down her face, leaving her brothers and sisters confused.

Sanli asked with concern: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Simei, who was lying on the bed crying, just sobbed intermittently: "Too few subscriptions!!! (actually, she was referring to the progress of the drama that made her too sad) Haishu.com..."

When Sanli tried to find out the details, the depressed Simei choked up and cried, "Rong'er...she died! How could it be possible! How could she die like this!"

Faced with this unexpected news, Yicheng asked in confusion who the "Rong'er" that Simei was talking about was: "Are you talking about one of your classmates?"

Simei was still immersed in sadness, and just kept cursing the so-called "bad guy", leaving her sisters and brothers confused. However, when everyone heard the name "Weng Meiling", they finally understood what she was talking about - it turned out that the actress had unfortunately passed away, which made Simei, as a fan, very sad.

Although Yicheng couldn't quite understand why the four beauties reacted so strongly - to him, this was just a matter about an actor he had never met, but for the four beauties who loved their idol, it was a big deal.

As time went by, everyone was worried about Simei's depression, which lasted for about a month. Qiao Erqiang was especially worried that she might have mental problems.

Fortunately, after this period of time, the four beauties finally recovered. The photos of "Huang Rong" and the actress who played her, Weng Meiling, were carefully collected in silk handkerchiefs and treasured. In order not to bring up this sad topic again, the brothers and sisters began to devote their minds to their own lives.

Later, as time went by, family members moved to another nearby residence to cope with the population growth. At the same time, Erqiang also planned to gradually purchase houses in this area, hoping to integrate and transform this area into a larger courtyard, which might be called "Qiao Mansion" in the future.

Ever since Simei was moved by Rong'er's story, she began to be obsessed with romantic and tragic love and often immersed herself in the world of romance novels. Qiao Erqiang even thought that if she were to read modern online literature, those stories would definitely make this emotional girl feel both distressed and angry.

Then, the little girl stopped braiding her hair or putting it in a ponytail, and chose to let her long hair down.

Her hair had been fluffy and curly since she was a child, so when it fell on her shoulders, it didn't feel light but rather messy. From a distance, her head seemed to have expanded a bit.

But she thought it was very elegant, because she firmly believed that it was similar to the heroine in the book, both dignified and beautiful.

In addition, she also began to prefer white clothes and long skirts, and found a slender glass vase to display the flowers and green grass she collected outside.

Her speech and behavior were full of exclamations and interjections - "wow", "ah", "ne", etc., and she sounded like she had a ** accent.

On a weekend day, the family gathered together again to share clear pork ribs and radish soup.

This time, Qiao Zuwang ate in a hurry, put on his clothes and was about to go out.

Qiao Yicheng, who was watching silently from the side, asked: "Are you going out to gamble again?"

In response, Qiao Erqiang simply said, "He is just like that. Don't pay attention to him."

Sanli also complained. "It's so hard for the whole family to have a meal together."

Si Mei, who was chewing a chicken drumstick, chimed in. "Don't worry about him. He is just that kind of person."

Qiao Qiqi, who was sitting obediently next to them and eating, ate silently without joining in the discussion.

Qiao Yicheng turned to ask Simei: "How are you doing? Have you had any new or strange ideas recently?"

Si Mei couldn't help but feel a little unhappy about her brother's unwarranted concern for her. "Why do you say that?"

Qiao Yicheng became mean. "Because you are the one who makes us feel most at ease, otherwise why wouldn't I say Sanli?"

At this time, Simei's tone suddenly changed to playful and said, "Brother, is that so? Then you should pay more attention to your sister in the future!"

This unexpected remark made Qiao Yicheng stunned and asked: "Tell me, what happened to Sanli?"

Sanli did not answer this question but scooped the soup bowl. "Brother, what are these floating things in the soup? They look like bird feathers."

At this time, Qiao Erqiang studied it carefully for a while before he figured out the clue, and moved his gaze to the vase in the room - "Oh! Qiao Simei!!!" Then he lifted up his sister Simei's ears.

Caught in the act, Si Mei quickly apologized with a smile. "Ouch, it hurts, second brother!"

Two or three days ago, Simei and her classmates went to the suburbs to pick some reeds and placed them in bottles. However, these plants would fly around when the wind blew, and now their traces could be seen all over the house.

Faced with this situation, Qiao Yicheng immediately gave instructions: "Okay, let's clean this stuff up now! Look, it's flying everywhere, and we can't even eat properly."
