I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

This western food restaurant located in the city center has a per capita consumption of [-].

The high price scares away many diners, but there are still some diners flocking to it.

When entering, Qiao Yue held Qiao Yu's arm with some embarrassment.

Fortunately, there is no requirement to wear a suit here.

After walking through the long cultural corridor, Qiao Yu chose a seat by the window.

Although Qiao Yu said he was treating guests, how could Qiao Yue, a mother, have the nerve to spend money from her underage son right now.

She originally thought that a meal here would be at most three or four hundred, but she didn't expect that when she looked through the menu, the price of a steak could easily be five or six hundred.Although it wasn't that she couldn't afford it, Qiao Yue, who was used to thrift, felt distressed.

too expensive.

Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Yu for help, "Xiao Qiao, things are too expensive."

"It's okay, you can order." Qiao Yu slowed down his voice, his expression was rare and gentle, "It's lunch time, and it's hard to find a restaurant around."

Qiao Yue thought for a while, put down the menu in her hand, and then held Qiao Yu's wrist.

She stared into Qiao Yu's eyes and whispered, "Little Qiao, tell mom the truth. How did you get your money? You were only in elementary school when grandpa passed away, so it's unlikely that you would skip me and hand over the card directly to you. you."

Qiao Yue just has a good temper, but she's not stupid. After walking all this way, she finally figured it out.

"Scholarship from the school." Qiao Yu said, with no expression on his face that he was guilty of lying and being exposed, "The No. [-] Middle School has a new principal and is changing the style of study. I got full marks in the school's unified examination, and the principal rewarded me with two thousand."

Qiao Yue looked in a dilemma, so Qiao Yu simply took the menu by herself, ordered a few dishes, and handed them to the waiter.

Qiao Yue: "Then why didn't you tell uncle the truth just now?"

Of course it was because I wanted Qiao Haifeng to see that he couldn't eat and was greedy.In other words, he is reducing dimensionality and showing off his wealth.

"Because it doesn't matter whether there is 20 or 20 in Cary. He wants it. You will consider 2000 carefully, but [-] must be given to him in order not to hurt peace, right?"

Qiao Yu raised her head and looked at her with calm eyes, without any accusation, but Qiao Yue somehow felt her face was burning.

"Uncle and his family take care of me..."

"Mom." Qiao Yu took a deep breath.

"Do you know why I don't like Qiao Haifeng's family?"

"When they moved here, Qiao Cheng was four years old. He slapped his hands and pointed at my nose and said, I am a loser. You conceived me first when you were unmarried, and you said I was a child of adultery."

"I beat Qiao Cheng up. That time, do you remember? I smashed Qiao Cheng's head and went to the hospital. You didn't ask me the reason, and asked me to apologize to Qiao Cheng. You also said that the family has always kept poetry and etiquette Heirloom, you are very sad for teaching me like this."

"I'm carrying the fruit, and you take me to the hospital to see Qiao Cheng, and you go out to pay the medical bills. Wang Yan pointed at my nose and called me 'bitch born of a bitch'. How old was I then?"

"I am nine years old."

"I'm sad too."

Qiao Yue's expression couldn't hide her shock: "You...why didn't you tell me then?"

Because I think you are my mother, you will protect me regardless of the reason, just like Wang Yan protects Qiao Cheng.

Qiao Yu had never looked down on Qiao Cheng, but at that time, he was very envious of that chubby guy.

Qiao Yu looked away, "Because you didn't ask."

And he was too stubborn back then, and he was used to holding back.

"Qiao Haifeng moved here and said he was taking care of you. Did he wash your clothes? Did he take over the room? Did he accompany you to the hospital? Did he treat you as his own family?"

Qiao Yu's questions became more acute one by one, Qiao Yue's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but tighten her skirt.

"If you treat them as family members, it's me and you. We all lose our home."

The sound insulation effect of the restaurant is very good, and there are people playing the piano next to it.

There was a moment of dead silence between the mother and son.

Fortunately, within a short while, the waiter brought the plate.Exquisite food relieves the embarrassment of the moment,

One dish after another was placed on the table.

Qiao Yu watched her still bow her head, her shoulders twitched, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

He knew that Qiao Yue must feel very sad now, and probably regretted it a little.

But Qiao Yu didn't want to comfort her.Grandpa protected her very well, and Qiao Yu also wanted to protect her, but he used his own method.

He got up, walked to Qiao Yue's side, and held her hand.

"The steaks in this western restaurant use the dry aging method. The breed is American Angus cattle, which are grain-fed cattle. They will taste fatter and tenderer than other beef."

Qiao Yu taught her how to cut the steak.Qiao Yue put down the knife and fork, and looked at him with red eyes.

A gentle smile appeared on Qiao Yu's face: "Try it?"

Qiao Yue nodded heavily.

After half an hour, a meal is almost done.This western restaurant is expensive for a reason. From Qiao Yu's point of view, this level is also worthy of the price.

The only small episode was that when it was time to pay the bill, Qiao Yu was accidentally told that a Mr. Jiang had paid for him.

"The gentleman said that he used to be Ms. Qiao's student. Please don't be polite."

Before Qiao Yue got sick, she worked as a teacher in Tianhai No. 1 Middle School for a year.It's just that too much time has passed, and she can't remember who it is.

Qiao Yu didn't have such a heavy psychological burden, and said directly: "I can meet him some other day, so thank him."

In his previous life, he never paid for his meals.There are too many people who please him, and he is still used to it now.

It was still early after dinner, Qiao Yu bought a lock, and took her mother to the cosmetics counter in the shopping mall next to it.

Qiao Yue is in good condition. She dresses up a bit to cover up the sickness on her face, and she looks as beautiful as a star. The cabinet lady who puts on her makeup is amazed.

Qiao Yu had a sweet mouth, and spent three hundred to buy a toner for Qiao Yue, and received a bunch of extra gifts.

I made money, but the market lost money. JPG.

He happily took Qiao Yue home.

On the way, Qiao Yue twisted a small bag, which contained the scarf her son bought for her, with a hesitant look on her face.

"Little Qiao... what should mother do now? Let my uncle's family move out? They may not agree..."

Having a key and having lived there for so many years is such a hassle.

Qiao Yu's complexion turned cold, and the corners of his lips curled up, looking like a beautiful villain in a girl comic.

"It's okay, just don't stop me. Let me handle the rest."

"They want to transfer Qiao Cheng's account. You use this as a threat. If they make you uncomfortable, you bring it up."

Qiao Yue was at a loss: "This...does it work?"

"If it's useless, why are you coaxing you to change your hukou?" Qiao Yu patiently explained to her, "Tell them that your high school best friend's child doesn't get good grades and wants to change hukou too, and I'll give you 20, you see Are they in a hurry. When the time comes, they will serve you at home like a queen mother."

"Isn't that good?" Qiao Yue still hesitated.

Qiao Yu's face collapsed.

"Then you just watch me being bullied?"

Qiao Yue glanced at her son's aggrieved face, and finally said with a heartbreak, "Okay, Mom will listen to you."

When Qiao Yu arrived home, it was already 10:30.

Qiao Yue was dingy when she went out, but she was glamorous when she came back, which made Wang Yan inexplicably glaring.

Her sister-in-law, family background, appearance, education, everything is strong, and even the son she gave birth to is much better than his son, which makes Wang Yan, who is struggling with everything in the village, very uncomfortable.

But sooner or later, he will die anyway.Thinking about it this way, Wang Yan felt much more at ease.

It was not without reason that she was clamoring for her son to change his household registration. Wang Yan heard from people in the community that this place might be demolished and the subway repaired in the future.At that time, the son will be on the account of Qiao's family, so he will be able to share a suite, right?

Her small abacus was crackling, but there was a simple smile on her face.

Wang Yan stretched out her hand, wanting to take the bag in Qiao Yu's hand, but the other side avoided it.

She couldn't help cursing in her heart that she didn't know what to do.

"Okay, I'm finally back. I'm just waiting for you to come back, sister, you haven't been home, and your brother and I can't sleep well." Wang Yan held Qiao Yue's hand, smiling all over her face.

If it was normal, Qiao Yue would probably apologize for making them worry, but this time, Qiao Yue just stood there in a daze, and then gave a slight "hmm".

Qiao Haifeng on the side came out with a stack of quilts in his arms, "Qiao Yu, will you sleep on the sofa today?"

Qiao Yu turned his head and looked around.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Your younger brother is grown up now, so it's not appropriate to sleep with us anymore. You usually don't live at home, so I vacated your room for your younger brother."

Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows: "So I just sleep on the sofa?"

Qiao Haifeng put the pillow and quilt on the sofa, and said, "Anyway, you only come back once a week, boys, don't be so delicate."

The sofa in the living room is made of lychee wood, and it is hard. It is estimated that I will suffer from backache after sleeping for a whole day.

Qiao Yu almost laughed angrily.

If he could swallow this breath, he wouldn't be Qiao Yu.

"Okay." Qiao Yu nodded with a smile, and then walked straight to her bedroom.

The bedroom was pitch black, but the bed was lit up.It looks like you are playing with your phone.

Qiao Yu turned on the light.

He loves to be clean, and the walls of the bedroom where he has lived for more than ten years are all brand new. Qiao Cheng has only lived in it for less than a month, and the walls are covered with movie posters.The wall near the desk even became Qiao Cheng's draft paper.

When Qiao Cheng saw him coming in, he was shocked: "Why did you enter other people's room without knocking, get out!"

Qiao Yu gave him a cold look: "Get out, I want to change clothes."

Qiao Cheng stood still, turned around, angrily, unwilling to look at him or move.

"If you don't get out, I'll tell your mother that you secretly hide under the quilt and play with your mobile phone in the middle of the night."

Qiao Cheng was startled, and wondered how he knew!

He met Qiao Yu's cold gaze, gritted his teeth for the last time, and walked out of the room reluctantly in his pajamas, waiting in the living room.

Qiao Yu heard it.Turning a deaf ear, he opened the closet.

Fortunately, he was tall and thin, and Qiao Cheng, who was so fat that he couldn't wear his clothes.

Qiao Yu put her pajamas into the bag.

He lifted the quilt, and there was a shiny sock in the corner.

Nausea.

He doesn't even want to live in this house now, but he will never let Qiao Cheng live in it either.

Qiao Yu took out the screwdriver and door chain bought from the mall, and quickly installed them.

A few minutes later, Qiao Cheng became a little impatient. The pajamas he was wearing were freezing in the living room.I couldn't help but yelled, "Are you alright?"

There is a small corridor from Qiao Yu's bedroom to the living room, Qiao Yu is not afraid of being seen.

He tied a strip of cloth to the catch and pulled the door shut from the outside.

Now, no one can get in unless the walls are knocked down.

Qiao Yu thought for a while, and sent a message asking Qiao Yue to lock the door and not come out today.

After finishing, Qiao Yu went to the living room and began to change shoes.

Wang Yan poked her head out of the bathroom, a little surprised: "Qiao Yu, where are you going at night?"

"I don't have my bed at home, so I'm going out to sleep in a hotel." Qiao Yu tied up his shoelaces without looking at the family.

He slammed the door and left Qiao Haifeng's family looking at each other.

Qiao Yu has several ways to get them to move out now.But now it is facing very real problems.

He only came back for one day. People can leave, but the house cannot.What would Qiao Haifeng do if he came to harass Qiao Yue while he was away?

When the conditions are not yet ripe, this method can only be used to scare people.

He forgives Qiao Haifeng for not daring to break his face, and he is unwilling to move out.

The door was thrown with a bang.

Qiao Haifeng was the first to quit: "This kid, who are you showing your face to? Are you paying attention to your elders?"

Wang Yan cursed in a low voice: "A bastard without father's education. This is the virtue... Come on, Xiaocheng, go to sleep."

Qiao Cheng's slippers clattered, and he staggered to the door.

After a while, his crying and anxious voice came from the small corridor: "Mom!? Why can't the door be opened?"
