Chapter 35: The Girl-Showing Devil

It was not easy to get a chance to meet Mr. Li, and it was not easy for Mr. Li to smile at her. Just when Qiao Zijin was about to be proud of how popular she was, her face froze, and the "hmm" she was about to respond got stuck in her throat, neither coming out nor coming out.

Why did Mr. Li call Qiao Nan's name as soon as he opened his mouth?

Qiao Nan has always been a bad talker. When has she ever been as likable as her? How could Mr. Li mistake her for Qiao Nan?

Because Qiao Zijin's voice was stuck and she made a muffled hum, which was a little off-tune, Mr. Li thought that Qiao Zijin admitted it.

Seeing that this child was indeed the one he was looking for, Mr. Li smiled even more tenderly: "Qiao, you really raised a good daughter. She is really like our military daughters, full of justice."

"But Qiao, you have to pay more attention to the child's health. Nan Nan, are you scared by what happened last time and are you sick? Is that why your throat hurts?"

“…”

“…”

The people of the Qiao family were speechless for a while.

It was clear that Qiao Zijin's "hmm" just now came out too quickly, and when she tried to stop it, she couldn't and it was out of tune. This is not an admission that there is something wrong with her body.

"Uncle Li, you've got the wrong person. This is my eldest daughter, Qiao Zijin, and this is my daughter, Qiao Nan. Nan Nan, you haven't met Uncle Li yet, come on, call me Grandpa Li."

Although he didn't know why Mr. Li came to his home, Qiao Dongliang's respect for Mr. Li never changed.

"Grandpa Li." Qiao Nan called out.

Qiao Nan was also wondering why Mr. Li called her name directly when he came to their house.

Of course, Qiao Nan was not angry but rather happy when she heard Qiao Zijin calling her name. It was Qiao Zijin who was embarrassed.

"Oh, you are Nan Nan, you look so good. Qiao, you have raised a good daughter. Nan Nan is not a talkative person, but she is really a hard-working person. She has the simple and unpretentious spirit and style of us soldiers."

Mr. Li knew that he had made a mistake and smiled, not caring about it.

Ever since Qiao Dongliang retired from the army, he stopped visiting Mr. Li. Mr. Li also knew about Qiao Dongliang's worries and coupled with his disappointment in Qiao Dongliang, the two families had less and less contact, and almost stopped visiting each other.

When Qiao Zijin was born, Mr. Li held her in his arms once, but after Qiao Nan was born, Mr. Li never saw her again.

The two children don't look much different, so it's normal that Mr. Li can't tell them apart.

"..." Qiao Nan couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard Mr. Li's praise. Why did she feel that what Mr. Li said just now when he was praising her sounded so familiar? It seemed that Mr. Li said something similar when he mistook Qiao Zijin for her just now, right?

Are you reciting a line?

When Qiao Nan met Mr. Li for the first time, he thought he was quite funny.

Qiao Dongliang may have been used to Mr. Li's situation, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Li, my daughter is really good. She has always been good at studying. Not only is she the deputy monitor of the class, but she also wins the Three Good Students and Outstanding Class Cadre awards every year. It's just that my wife is too careless. Once she accidentally burned all of Nan Nan's award certificates."

Qiao Dongliang immediately turned into a girl-showing maniac, and when he mentioned Qiao Nan, his tone was extremely proud.

Since retiring from the army, Qiao Dongliang dared not see Mr. Li. His greatest wish was that his two daughters could be outstanding and have a bright future while Mr. Li was still alive.

In this way, he could lead his daughter to stand in front of Mr. Li and say: "My choice was right, Mr. Li, I still haven't let you down."

He was a loser, but he raised a daughter who was even more promising!

"Mr. Li, you don't know that Nan Nan is in the third year of junior high school. She failed the Chinese and math exams at the beginning of the school year. Her Chinese teacher was angry because of this. She almost got full marks for her composition, but lost marks for some things she memorized by rote. She could have scored 99 points, but she only scored 85. Fortunately, Nan Nan scored 100 points in English, the only one in the school who got this score."

After learning that Qiao Nan was not only the deputy monitor but also won awards every year, Qiao Dongliang reflected on himself and became more concerned about Qiao Nan's affairs.

This Wednesday, Qiao Dongliang took an hour's leave from the factory and went to Qiao Nan's school to ask Qiao Nan's main teacher about his daughter's situation.

You don’t know until you ask. Once you ask, Qiao Dongliang can’t help but feel a surge of pride.

Whenever a teacher who teaches daughters mentions their daughters, they will give them a thumbs up.

Even though Teacher Li was heartbroken when she mentioned her daughter's Chinese language performance, it was still out of love and concern.

Qiao Dongliang understood the good and bad words, and every word and sentence of Teacher Li revealed a meaning. If Qiao Nan had not reviewed well enough, he would have scored at least 99 in the Chinese test.

Ninety-nine, and in Chinese, this was a score Qiao Dongliang had never heard of before.

At least my eldest daughter scored 89 points in Chinese during her three years of junior high school, which was considered a good performance.

Facing the teachers' hints, Qiao Dongliang felt a burning discomfort on his face. He could not blame his daughter for spreading the news about his wife selling books.

After all, it was indeed my wife’s fault that my daughter’s grades dropped, but family disgrace should not be made public. This is such a mess!

In other words, this was Qiao Nan's worst test ever, but it was also his best performance, which made Qiao Dongliang raise his head in front of Mr. Li.

"Oh, really?" Mr. Li was a little surprised. He knew Qiao Dongliang's character. Qiao Dongliang would not lie if it was not true.

Mr. Li is a grandfather and has children in school, so he knows very well that after entering junior high school, don’t get high scores like 99 or 100. Even 95 is considered excellent.

"You are indeed a practical man." Mr. Li looked at Qiao Nan with more and more loving eyes, as if he was looking at his own granddaughter.

Mr. Li is old now and doesn't have many other thoughts. He just hopes that his children and grandchildren can be successful and study hard.

Therefore, children with good grades like Qiao Nan are naturally Mr. Li's favorite type. Moreover, the reason why Mr. Li came to the Qiao family today was because of Qiao Nan's good character.

"Joe, do you know why I came to your house today?"

"..." Qiao Dongliang was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Li, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"I'm here to thank your family on behalf of the Zhu family."

"The Zhu family, Uncle Zhu's family?" Qiao Dongliang was not familiar with the Zhu family. The Zhu family was Uncle Li's in-laws, and the Zhu family's son married Uncle Li's daughter.

The Zhu family and the Li family are both members of this compound, and they are well-matched, so the Zhu family's status is not low.

"Yes, it's your uncle Zhu's house." Uncle Li's face flashed with excitement. After suppressing his emotions for a while, he continued, "You should have heard about my daughter's affairs."

"Mr. Li, so many years have passed. You must take care of yourself."
