At this time, Simei replied bluntly: "That's because you still haven't repaid the debt you owed her for so long!"

Seeing that the situation was so sensitive, Sanli hurriedly nudged Simei with her hand, suggesting that she should be careful with her words.

Qiao Zuwang looked at Simei and continued, "Your sister is gentle and capable. Anyone who marries her will be lucky! Compared to you, you always go against me."

As the Qiao family owns more and more valuable things, a new TV full of modernity and vitality makes their lives more colorful and harmonious, broadens their horizons, and makes their behavior towards each other more civilized and elegant.

Since the advent of television, Qiao Zuwang rarely went out at night. His eyes always stayed on the screen, watching all kinds of news and performances on TV. New things constantly entered his life, such as: reform and opening-up policy, promoting economic vitality, breaking the traditional system and other terms gradually integrated into his language.

Simei often stayed up late to watch movies. Sometimes she watched alone until late at night, and she couldn't help but give a passionate kiss to her favorite character on the screen, who was performing the drama with great passion at that time.

The arrival of new things seemed to open up more opportunities. Not long after, the Joe family bought another new home appliance - a refrigerator. This time, it was Joe's father who contributed most of the money, but as long as it was something that was enjoyable, he would never give up.

A light green refrigerator was placed in the corner of the hall, emitting a low and continuous humming sound.

After every meal, Mr. Qiao would remind his children not to forget to put the leftovers in the refrigerator and not to throw away the food. However, because the children at home have good appetites and eat a lot, they can eat the whole table at almost every meal; if there are any leftovers, they will be eaten up by midnight when they are hungry because of watching TV.

In fact, there was very little leftover food that could be stored in the refrigerator, so occasionally, my father would put bean paste or spicy vegetables in the refrigerator, and then take them out in the morning to thaw slightly and use them as side dishes.

In 1990, a new term appeared in life - "unemployment". Qiao Zuwang caught up with the unprecedented changes at this time.

Just as he was about to retire, he became a member of the "unemployed" army.

This time, Qiao Zuwang tried to repeat his old trick and went to the factory director's door with a rope to ** him. But this time it didn't work at all.

Because the factory director was well prepared this time, he also hung himself on the beam and stood beside Qiao Zuwang: "The factory has been sold, and even I have no position. If you really want to go to extremes, let me, the leader, accompany you, so that I can make some explanations for my old colleagues." The factory director even threatened to bring his family with him. "What do you think, or is it not enough to bury my family with you?"

Faced with this situation, Qiao Zuwang had to withdraw his plan and reluctantly accept the outcome of his unemployment.

Not long after, he learned that his factory was sold to foreign investors, and after reconstruction it mainly produced and sold personal hygiene products; and the factory director who had previously claimed to have "died in the line of duty" had actually returned to the management position, but was no longer called the factory director, but was instead called the "general manager", a Chinese manager.

In a rage, Qiao Zuwang cursed at home, saying that he was a former ** who had fallen into the trap of being a black-hearted businessman and capitalist.

But soon the Qiao family had great news that relieved everyone's pressure - after Qiao Yicheng graduated with a master's degree, he was hired as a news reporter for a national TV channel after passing the assessment. His internship experience in the past two or three years helped him gain a lot of points.

This made the whole family extremely happy. After all, national television units have a huge influence in China, and being a member of this TV station is an extremely proud thing.

The sisters at home were also very happy. The second sister Sanli said excitedly on the phone: "Brother is really great. I always believe that one day you will succeed. Brother, do you want to order a new suit? Suqin's cousin's father is an old technician in Li Shunchang's clothing studio. It should be more suitable if he personally customizes it."

The fourth sister couldn't wait to take over the phone and said, "Brother, brother, if your station holds a party during the Spring Festival, remember to take me there. Or if there is an opportunity to be an extra, can you help me get one? Even if it's a small role, as long as there are lines. Brother, have you met the anchors of the station, like Sister Ju Ping?"

Qiao Yicheng was also extremely happy about all these good things; he found a new world at the age of 26 and finally became the person he wanted to be.

The first time I walked into ** TV station, it was very spacious [Too much sensitive content, unable to continue output]

There is an empty desk that belongs only to him. In the near future, this desk will be filled with various documents and books, carrying all his youth and passion.

Qiao Erqiang felt that even though the concept of late marriage and late childbirth is being promoted nowadays, Qiao Yicheng should also start considering the important issue of marriage!

After all, I'm 26 years old and not any younger!

Zhang Guofu fully agreed with Qiao Erqiang's statement. Wen Zhongan is already 23 years old and has graduated from university, so he should indeed consider starting a family.

Although Qiao Yicheng expressed his wish to pay for all the wedding expenses himself, how could Qiao Erqiang be willing to stand by and watch? He still adopted the original method and asked Qiao Zuwang to come forward to preside over everything, with Qiao Zuwang standing in the front and accepting everyone's praise, while Qiao Erqiang secretly provided financial support behind the scenes.

The gift money Qiao Erqiang gave this time was particularly generous, a bankbook with a deposit of 660,000 yuan, and this time he simply did not give Qiao Yicheng a house. Instead, Zhang Guofu directly invested in buying a historic three-story courtyard house and a house in a new community for Wen Zhongan in Beijing, and gave them as a dowry.

Although the wedding banquet was still held in Jinling, Qiao Erqiang still transferred an old building with a long history to Wen Zhongan.

Later, Qiao Yicheng returned the passbook to Qiao Erqiang to express his gratitude, but this angered him and he refused to take it back. In the end, Qiao Yicheng had no choice but to accept it. After getting married and settling down, his life also settled down in the capital.

As for Qiao Simei, she caused Qiao Erqiang a lot of trouble. Although she graduated from high school, she was unable to be admitted to her ideal university.

Sanli was lucky enough to be admitted to a teachers' school and planned to become an excellent teacher in the future.

Qiao Erqiang was worried that the idle girl Qiao Simei would cause new problems, so he made her his personal assistant. The so-called "assistant" was nothing more than helping with odd jobs such as copying contracts or making a pot of tea, or sometimes handing over documents for Qiao Erqiang to sign. If you didn't know the inside story, you might really think that Simei was like Qiao Erqiang's personal secretary.

Although Sanli went to a teachers' school, she did not live in the school dormitory. She went back and forth home every day just to see Qiao Erqiang every day.

When she heard that Simei was accompanying Qiao Erqiang, Sanli asked Qiao Erqiang privately, "Second brother, what do you think of Qiao Simei?"

Qiao Erqiang thought deeply and replied, "It's hard to say. Let's see how she develops in the future. Simei is not mature yet. Her life has just started on the right track. It all depends on her own decision. I already have you and Suqin, which is enough."

Sanli said nothing more after hearing this, but just held Qiao Erqiang's wrist and leaned against his chest, holding tightly.

Ma Suqin saw all of this clearly. She had long noticed the subtle changes between Qiao Erqiang and Sanli. But their relationship was not clear, and they had no children together, just like living together.

However, Qiao Erqiang's behavior towards her made her very grateful and satisfied.

She has property, finances, and children to look after. She spends her days in a blink of an eye; it is best to be ignorant of the world.

Fortunately, Qiao Yicheng lived in the capital and was unaware of these situations, otherwise he would definitely interfere and blame the two of them!

Qiao Yicheng was unwilling and did not intend to intervene in the story of Qiao Erqiang and Ma Suqin. When Qiao Yicheng saw Ma Suqin, he felt that she was somewhat similar to his mother, and speculated that it might be Qiao Erqiang's emotional attachment to his mother because he lost his mother when he was young. Therefore, he chose to acquiesce in this matter.

Qiao Zuwang was furious and cursed in the house, saying that Qiao Erqiang had disgraced them. Why didn't he find a young girl as a marriage partner, but instead married a divorced woman who was much older and had children. He declared that he would never accept Ma Suqin as his daughter-in-law!

After hearing these words in his old home, Qiao Erqiang simply glanced at Qiao Zuwang coldly, and the other party immediately fell silent and dared not to criticize him again.

In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and Qiao Erqiang's "Qiao Qiao" Western fast food franchise stores have blossomed all over China and have successfully entered the international market for many years. His company group is very large, including mobile phone business, Internet enterprises, cultural business, home appliance manufacturing and other branches, all of which are among the top five in the international market.

However, Qiao Erqiang still lived in Jinling and never traveled far, while Lili and Mei Si were still single in their 30s. Qiao Yicheng took great care of his two sisters and had a lot of white hair. At the age of 40, his hair was already half white.

Lili chose to study in a normal college and thus did not meet Wang Yiding; as for Simei, she was influenced by Qiao Erqiang and did not meet Qi Zhenggang. Their life stories are completely different.

The real reason why the two sisters never got married was never made public. They just lied that they had not met a partner they liked, and as they kept delaying for a long time and got older, they simply gave up on getting married.

Qiao Erqiang has not married, but at least he still has Ma Suqin by his side, which makes Qiao Yicheng feel relieved. Qiao Yicheng and his family living on the coast now have a son and a daughter. Lili and Simei especially like these two nephews and nieces, and from time to time they look at Qiao Erqiang with deep regret and helplessness in their eyes.
