Chapter 42



Xu Haizhou came over after hearing this, and after seeing the score on the test paper, he sighed with regret: "Fifteen points, this is too low. The passing score is sixty. Sister-in-law, how far do you think Daxiong missed?"

"What? This, sixty? Fifteen? This, this... is a big difference..."

Niu Qiaoli was so anxious that her eyes turned red, and the look she gave Niu Daxiong was as if she wanted to peel the skin off his body!

She was so angry that she poked him in the back: "Big Bear, look at you, what did you write? How come you only got 15 points? This is a question for first and second graders, seven or eight-year-olds! How come you only got such a low score!"

"Ah, sister! Sister!" He punched without restraining his strength, and made Big Bear scream.

The man who was reading the book suddenly came in and frowned, saying, "Don't make a scene in the office."

Niu Qiaoli looked anxious and stopped moving with her hands and feet restrained.

She has a high emotional quotient and is very good at reading people's expressions. She is a very versatile person. She had never been treated like this before. She was taken out of the food factory by Li Yu with a red face.

On the way, he hammered and hit Niu Daxiong: "You are such a loser! You are such a loser! You won't even sit in the office! What else can you accomplish?"

Niu Daxiong didn't dare to fight back. Besides, he was indeed in the wrong and it was indeed his fault. It was such a good piece of meat. It was right in front of him, how could it fly away?

"Sister, how can you blame me for this? I didn't know there was an exam. If there was an exam, I definitely wouldn't come! Didn't I say I only know how to work hard?"

"What's wrong with selling your strength? Didn't you graduate from elementary school? Did you waste all the tuition fees you paid before? Your brother-in-law gave you such a good opportunity! You have to get 60 points in the exam no matter what! You are deliberately slapping me in the face!"

The more he talked, the angrier he got, so he kicked him on the butt.

Niu Daxiong was beaten so badly that he ran all over the street: "Sister! I didn't mean it. That question is really difficult! I think a junior high school student would not be able to solve it, let alone a seven or eight-year-old child!"

Li Yu frowned seriously and watched the brother and sister fighting and quarreling, looking unhappy.

"Haizhou, I'll go back first. Come back to me if you need me in the future."

When Niu Qiaoli heard that Li Yu was leaving, she stopped immediately.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Xu Haizhou smiled slightly and watched him leave.

Li Yu didn't leave immediately. He looked at Niu Qiaoli with hesitation and said to Xu Haizhou: "... In the future, before asking someone for help, try to check the situation yourself. It's not that I won't help, but sometimes I can't cause too much trouble to others. If something goes wrong, it can't be solved with just a few words."

Xu Haizhou's face was filled with regret and guilt: "Okay, I understand. I'm sorry to trouble you, Director."

After he finished speaking, Li Yu finally left with a sad face.

"Hey - Director Li! Director Li!" Niu Qiaoli called him vigorously, but to no avail. He got on his bike and rode away, leaving him with only his back to think about...

Niu Qiaoli was so anxious that she grabbed Xu Haizhou and said, "Haizhou! Director Li is leaving just like that? What about my brother's job? Can't we just not work in the office? It's okay to just take any position. Can't we still discuss it? Look at my brother's muscular body. He is good at doing rough work!"

Xu Haizhou brushed Niu Qiaoli's hand away helplessly and sighed: "Sister-in-law, didn't you see it just now? Director Li is angry. Not only is he angry, but he also blames me."

"What? This... I, I..." Of course she saw it, but she was unwilling to admit it: "I'm angry, that's not right? Don't you two have a very good relationship?"

How good must the relationship be if both are willing to use the back door?

"No matter how good the relationship is, it can't stand..." He looked at Niu Daxiong and shook his head regretfully: "Sister-in-law, please don't embarrass the director, and don't embarrass me."

Suddenly, Niu Qiaoli felt embarrassed.

How did things get to this point? How did they offend the director of the National People's Congress? He was a big director who could get a job in the office through the back door!

When they got home, the mother and son had already finished their meal. The food left for Xu Haizhou was being warmed in the hot water in the pot in the kitchen. Given Niu Qiaoli's personality, she would definitely eat a meal before leaving, so Qiao Lu made a few more steamed buns, which were enough to fill the two of them.

Qiao Lu didn't want to be too nice to her. How did she treat the original owner before? How did she treat Qiao Yan? She hadn't forgotten.

How can you repay evil with kindness? It's impossible.

After the three of them returned home, Qiao Lu hurriedly asked about the situation and was surprised to learn that Daxiong only scored 15 points in the entrance examination. She almost laughed out loud.

Finally, he had to pretend to sigh with regret: "Oh, what can I do? I have already used a lot of connections in Haizhou to get them to agree to give me a position, and it's an office job, what a good job...but in the end I only got 15 points...this is too..."

After saying that, he cautiously asked Niu Qiaoli: "Sister-in-law, has Daxiong really graduated from elementary school?"

"Yeah!" Niu Qiaoli felt more and more frustrated the more she thought about it. Her fists were itching and she wanted to beat someone up. She gritted her teeth and pinched Niu Daxiong's arm: "This useless thing!"

Niu Daxiong rubbed his hands in grievance. This time when he returned, his hands and legs would definitely be covered with bruises!

He felt aggrieved: "I have studied all the way to the fourth grade of elementary school. How can I not be able to solve the problems of a seven or eight-year-old child? There must be something wrong with the question!"

I can understand the words at a glance, but I have no idea what they mean when I put them together. How can I answer this question?

"Do you have the test paper? Let me see it." Qiao Lu asked.

Niu Qiaoli brought the test paper back. She was so angry that she crumpled it into a ball and quickly unfolded it and handed it to Qiao Lu.

Qiao Lu held the book in her hands and flipped through it again and again. The more she read, the more she wanted to laugh.

This question is not for first or second graders. It's more like a high school student's question.

1. Please use a paragraph of no less than 200 words to express your views on food work.

2. What kind of power do you think is needed to develop socialism?

3. What do you think are the pros and cons of current policies on the development of food factories?

4.……

After finishing the text comprehension, the next steps are some arithmetic problems, including more difficult multiplication and division problems, as well as simpler addition and subtraction problems.

Qiao Lu handed the test paper to Qiao An: "An An, take a look, can you do these questions?"

The boy held the test paper and read it with great interest. However, after reading for a long time, he found that he could not understand anything. The words were too complicated and so difficult to understand!

Then he turned to the second page and jumped up excitedly as if he had seen a baby: "I can, I can! Mom, I can!"

So he pointed to the only few math problems he knew and answered softly, "Mom, I know this. This is five plus six, which equals eleven! This is three plus three, which equals six! This is ten minus four, which equals...six! It's so easy!"

Qiao Lu smiled appreciatively: "Well, our An An is awesome, he got all the answers right!"

What? Even Qiao An can do these questions?

The feeling in her heart was simply unbearable. Niu Qiaoli was so angry that she jumped up and down, punching Big Bear on the back: "Oh you! You! I really thought it was the wrong question, but it turns out you are not even as good as Qiao An!"

How can this brother be so stupid! He has lived for 20 years but is not even as good as a 4-year-old child! It would be better for parents to give birth to a barbecued pork if they have such a brother. It is really infuriating!

Without saying a word, he dragged the person out of the yard. Qiao Lu held back her laughter and rubbed the door frame: "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

"Go home!" Go home and give this stupid brother a good beating!

"Are you leaving without eating?"

Eat? She just wanted Niu Daxiong to eat the weight!

"I don't want to eat anymore!"

Phew - uneducated people are so easy to deceive.

The brother and sister walked farther and farther away in a strange posture until they disappeared over the courtyard wall. Qiao Lu finally laughed heartily.

"Haizhou, this is a brilliant move! It's really brilliant! You are really good at shifting conflicts!"

Qiao Lu pestered Xu Haizhou and told him the whole story. It turned out that he had asked Li Yu to play a trick with him a long time ago, so that he could fulfill the promise he had made to Niu Qiaoli and make her back off. Even if she revived in the future, he could deal with her in a similar way.

How can someone who can't even read a single word defeat an old fox like Xu Haizhou?

Of course it is a fantasy.

Life goes on, and no one knows whether Niu Qiaoli will stop or not. Anyway, if the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers, and if the water comes, we will block it with earth!

Qiao Lu's bags sold much better than Li Hongjun's socks. Li Hongjun was jealous and decided to sell out the last batch of socks and focus on helping Xu Haizhou and his wife sell bags from then on.

After consulting the couple, they both said there was no problem. Wages were distributed according to work: Qiao Lu got 4, Xu Haizhou and Li Hongjun got 3 each. In short, the couple's combined income was 7, and Li Hongjun got 3 alone.

There was no objection. After all, the technology was invented by Qiao Lu and the cost was paid by Xu Haizhou. Li Hongjun was responsible for monitoring and promotion. Even if he only got 3, the profit would be considerable.

On Saturday, because he promised to accompany his wife and children to visit the newly built residential area in Huxi District, Xu Haizhou took a day off today to look at houses.

The family of three went out together. In order to reduce Xu Haizhou's burden and save effort, Qiao Lu rode a bicycle by herself, and Qiao An sat on Xu Haizhou's bike, not on the back seat, but on the diagonal bar of the front seat. Xu Haizhou said the scenery in front was better.

Qiao An was sitting here for the first time, and he felt excited and stimulated. Because Xu Haizhou was carrying him faster than Qiao Lu, the young man was very excited and kept looking back.

"Mom, hurry up! Mom, hurry up! Mom, you are too slow! You can't catch up with me and Dad!"

Jolu stared at the pedals with great effort, but still couldn't catch up with them.

There is a huge disparity in physical strength between men and women, there is nothing we can do about it.

"You little brat, are you laughing again? If you keep laughing, Dad will throw you over here, and we'll be on the bottom together."

"Wow——" Feeling threatened by Qiao Lu, she held Xu Haizhou's arm tightly: "Dad, protect me, don't leave me to mom! Let's go faster~ faster~"

You little rascal, you forgot your mother after you got a father.

Xu Haizhou laughed out loud, and slowed down his movements as Qiao An's excitement grew louder and louder, until Qiao Lu surpassed him.

Qiao An couldn't hold it in any longer and was a little anxious: "Dad! Dad, hurry up and catch up! Mom is faster than us!"

Xu Haizhou pedaled carelessly: "Well, Dad is a little tired and can't catch up."

Qiao Lu used one of her free hands to hold her lower eyelids: "Lululu! Qiao An, you idiot, you can't catch up with me!"

"Dad! Mom is making a face! Let's catch up with her!" The little hands slapped Xu Haizhou's arms desperately, and the short legs swung quickly in front of the car bar, not stopping until they caught up with Qiao Lu.

Xu Haizhou suddenly wondered if he had raised two children.

After a lot of fighting and playing along the way, we finally arrived at Huxi District.

Nanhu Community, the only formal residential community in Li'an City, is indeed very impressive. Even before entering, just standing at the gate of the community, one can feel that this land has a sense of luxury that is out of tune with the surrounding residential houses. It is a building style that completely transcends time.

Grand, high-end, and advanced... Think about it, this was the early 1980s, this was mid-1983. Such a modern community was rare, and only the southern coastal cities could set such a precedent.

Just as she was about to park her bike, a short-legged kid rushed over like a whirlwind at an extremely fast speed and hugged Qiao Lu's thighs: "I've got you! Don't run! Mommy can't overtake us!"

Qiao Lu smiled, squatted down and pinched his face: "Better than you, I am the boss of the family!"

"I'm the boss!" Qiao An retorted with a giggle.

Qiao Lu: "No, I am."

Qiao An: "Leak! An An is~"

Qiao Lu: "An An is a stinky baby."

Qiao An: "I am Xiang Xiang Bao~"

If the argument continued, it would never end. Xu Haizhou had no choice but to pick up the boy and took a step back, saying, "Then let the three of us be the bosses."

The little guy immediately shook his head and refused, saying in a baby voice: "No, Mom is the boss, Dad, don't compete with Mom for position."

Be careful or your mom will cry in front of you!

Qiao Lu: “Pfft—hahahaha—”

Xu Haizhou: “…”

Well, he was worrying too much. Even when they were arguing, the good son was still thinking about his mother.

Nanhu Home Community covers an area of ​​approximately 400 square meters. It is unclear how many buildings there are, but the number of floors of each building is fixed, which is six.

When they first arrived, the guard at the door refused to let them in. Qiaolu said she was planning to buy a house and was here to look at it. The security guard looked at Qiaolu from head to toe, and finally thought for a moment before letting her in.

Qiao Lu was secretly glad that everyone was dressed decently today. If they had worn old clothes, they wouldn't look like people who could afford to buy a house.

The family of three walked around the community. The greening of the community was well done. There were osmanthus trees planted under each building, and there were green belts of various sizes. Although it could not compare with the richness and diversity of later generations, according to current aesthetics, it is definitely at the leading level in the country.

Each apartment has its own private bathroom, so there are no public toilets in the community. The community has simple supporting public facilities, including a bathroom and a canteen. It is a bit like a civilian version of a "compound", the kind of compound for the children of the compound, not the compound of the compound. These are two completely different concepts.

The community has complete internal facilities and the surrounding facilities are also good. There is a bus station one kilometer away, a health center 500 meters away, and a slightly larger grocery store and newsstand at the entrance of the community. Xu Haizhou said that the vegetable market is less than one kilometer away from here.

In short, if you really want to live here, life will be quite convenient!

Clearly from the 21st century, looking around, Qiao Lu felt that everything was new and interesting. The more she looked, the more she liked it.

"It's really nice, it's really nice, the environment is really great." What he meant was that compared to the big compound, this place was simply "paradise".

Because it was invested by Hong Kong businessmen, the community even incorporated a concept that mainlanders have never heard of: property.

Qiao Lu asked a homeowner, a Chinese man in his fifties. When he heard Qiao Lu say that she wanted to buy a house here and he had some time, he introduced the community to the couple.

Xu Haizhou was amazed after listening to these words. It was indeed the first time he had heard of many new words, especially the word "property". He had never heard of having to pay any property fee every year after buying a house. It was said that this property could manage the public sanitation of the community, deal with various chores such as house leaks and neighbor nuisances for the owners, and could also be responsible for the safety issues of the community... In short, it sounded like it was very useful, but he didn't ask too much about the details.

Anyway, his wife really likes this kind of property...

Xu Haizhou didn't know whether the existence of this kind of property was good or bad, but one thing was certain: this community was really good. If he could save enough money to buy a house here, how comfortable would his life be?

Not surprisingly, the three of them were very satisfied with the environment here, and their motivation to make money was instantly boosted.

No matter how hard or tired I am, thinking about being able to move into such a beautiful community, I suddenly feel that life has hope.

After returning home, the little guy was so excited that he didn't want to go to bed until nine o'clock in the evening.

"Mom, when can we buy a new home?" He kept asking while holding Qiao Lu.

Qiao Lu's eyes were full of tenderness as she gently stroked his little head: "Soon, just wait a year or two."

The boy put his arms around his mother's waist and rubbed her shoulders: "Mom, when we move to the new house, should we bring Bubble White with us?"

"Of course, they are both our family members."

Qiao An likes this name. Bubble and Xiaobai are their family, and they want to stay together even if they move!

Finally, I fell into a deep sleep with satisfaction.

In late June, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Qiao Lu saw some lesbians wearing dresses on the street, so she boldly made one herself.

The skirt is relatively conservative and not too "alternative".

After happily cutting the last piece of thread, Xu Haizhou came back on his bicycle with four cloth bags of different sizes hanging on the handlebar.

Qiao Lu stood up to greet them, took the four bags, and wondered, "They haven't sold out yet?"

Recently, Xu Haizhou has been setting up a stall, and basically he can bring back one or two unsold bags every day. Today it was even more outrageous, he actually brought back four!

Wu Guifang next door had been resting for several days. I just asked her at noon when she would reopen. She wanted to make more money. Qiao Lu just smiled and said that business was not good and she didn't need so much goods for the time being.

"Well, I originally thought that the market was saturated, but I didn't expect to find something wrong today." After pouring himself a glass of water, Xu Haizhou replied breathlessly.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Lu walked over to sit next to him and asked hurriedly.

Turning his head to look at his wife, Xu Haizhou said with a serious expression, "Someone is imitating our bag."

Qiao Lu scratched her face and was stunned: "Ah? Piracy?"
