Chapter 256 The Drunkard's Ambition
After leaving the door, the three people separated.
Qiao Wanqing and Qin Jingming went to the furniture store carrying the braised pork. As soon as they entered, they saw the two brothers gnawing on dry steamed buns.
"Brother, brother, Jingming packed the braised pork for you. Add it to the steamed buns and eat it!" Qiao Wanqing put the lunch boxes in front of them.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Qiao Haimin thanked him casually and opened the lunch box.
He did not forget to pick up some meat for his elder brother. Seeing this, Qiao Hailin also started eating.
During this period, don't forget to let them find a place to sit.
After they finish checking the accounts, the account book can be shown to Qiao Wanqing.
"Isn't today Sunday? Where's Jiaojiao?" Qiao Wanqing was a little curious after sitting for a long time and not seeing Qiao Haijiao.
"It was said that a classmate had his birthday and went out to play." After Qiao Hailin said this, Qiao Wanqing nodded in understanding.
After waiting for about an hour, Qiao Hailin checked the account book and handed it to Qiao Wanqing.
She simply calculated the total amount, checked the money, divided it according to the number in the account book, took her own share, and gave the rest to Qiao Hailin.
"Niuniu..." The moment he got the money, Qiao Hailin felt it was a little unreal.
"Niuniu, we all think you gave too much. Why don't you take some back?" Qiao Haimin knew what his elder brother meant.
The two of them had thought it over carefully yesterday, so when they said it, they were a little worried that the other person would be unhappy.
"Then, when you marry your wife, you want me to pay for it?" Qiao Wanqing asked back.
"How could that be!" When Qiao Haimin heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.
"Why don't you work hard to earn money and save it to marry a wife?"
Hearing her words, the two brothers looked at each other and said, "Just keep it. Wanqing still has to follow me to the army. Everything here depends on you two brothers. You should do it." Qin Jingming advised.
The other side
Qiao Haijiao and her classmate Xiaojia arrived at the agreed restaurant, asked the waiter, and walked towards the small room at the back.
As soon as I opened the door, smoke filled the air.
I saw a large round table, almost full.
Hu Yurou, the female classmate who invited them over, got brightened up when she saw them coming and stood up and walked over.
"Jiaojiao, Xiaojia, you are finally here. We are the only ones missing." That's right, the person in front of them, Hu Yurou, who was smiling but hinting at their lateness, was the birthday girl today.
"Sorry, Yu Rou, this is a gift I prepared for you." Qiao Haijiao took out the wrapped gift she bought from her own Yang Wenjing and handed it over.
"I'm very happy that you can come. What else do you want to bring?" Hu Yurou said this, but her actions were very real and she had already taken it.
Xiaojia gave a hairpin without packaging, which was also newly bought, of course.
But when she saw that it was just an ordinary hairpin, Hu Yurou's face showed a little impatience.
"Please sit down, we are all classmates." Hu Yurou had no intention of introducing us.
The only two seats left are near the door.
The smell of smoke was too pungent, so Qiao Haijiao opened the door.
After a while, the waiter came over to take the order, and then started serving the dishes one after another.
At Qiao Haijiao and Xiaojia's table, every time the dishes were served, the waiter would remind them, "Be careful of the greasy food!"
Even if you are careful, you still get some oil on your hands.
The moment Xiaojia saw the oil spots on her pants, her eyes turned red.
Her family was not well off, and she didn't have many decent clothes.
However, due to the occasion today, I finally held back.
"Haijiao, this is Wang Shuai from the next class." After all the dishes were served, Hu Yurou pointed to the boy sitting next to her and introduced him enthusiastically.
"Hello!" Wang Shuai took the initiative to greet with a smile on his face. He is a sunny boy.
"Hello." Qiao Haijiao nodded.
Then he and Xiaojia ate quietly without even glancing at Wang Shuai.
Seeing this, Hu Yurou nudged the boy next to her and signaled with her eyes to let him take the initiative.
Wang Shuai stood up and changed seats with the classmate sitting next to Qiao Haijiao.
Qiao Haijiao really has no impression of Wang Shuai.
If Hu Yurou hadn't introduced him today and said that he was from the class next door, she wouldn't have known that they were classmates in the same school.
"I heard from Yu Rou that you have good academic performance. Could you please help me with my studies?" Wang Shuai said this, still a little embarrassed, but his eyes were fixed on her, expecting her answer.
"My academic performance is not as good as Yu Rou's, you might as well let her help you with your studies!" Qiao Haijiao was not at all serious about this.
The perfunctory answer made Wang Shuai feel a little uncomfortable.
Xiaojia was under the table, secretly giving Qiao Haijiao a thumbs up.
This kind of courage is what she lacks.
After they had almost finished eating, Qiao Haijiao and Xiaojia were about to leave, but were stopped by Hu Yurou.
"It's not safe for you two girls to go back. Let Wang Shuai take you there!" Hu Yurou said, patted Wang Shuai on the shoulder, and whispered, 'Come on!'
On the way back, Wang Shuai suggested sending Xiaojia back first because it was close.
Xiaojia saw his intention and waved her hands repeatedly, "I want to do homework with Jiaojiao, let's go!"
Qiao Haijiao held her hand tightly, "Good sister!"
"Haijiao, I heard that your family runs a furniture store!" It was not a question, but an affirmative statement.
Hearing his words, Qiao Haijiao was a little confused. Could it be that he approached her for this?
"No, it's my sister who opened it. My brother-in-law is in the army, and my sister went to accompany him, so she asked my eldest and second brothers to look after it."
"It's not yours!" When Wang Shuai heard that it was not her furniture store, he could not hide the disappointment in his tone.
"Yes, my family doesn't have that kind of financial resources. My elder sister borrowed a lot of money to open the business, and it's still running out of money. My elder sister is getting very anxious. Oh, doing business is not easy." At the end, his tone was obviously unhappy.
"Yu Rou said that she ran into you when she went shopping for clothes some time ago, and she even gave you a discount? That store is yours, right?" This time, it was a question.
"It's also owned by my elder sister, but she opened it in partnership with someone. I happened to go there to play that day and ran into her, so I asked my other elder sister to give her a discount." Qiao Haijiao said that the clothing store had nothing to do with her.
This made Wang Shuai even more impatient.
His face was also sour, "Why is your home so far away!" His tone was full of complaints and irritability.
"It's not far. We can go back by ourselves. No need to send me off." After figuring out Wang Shuai's real intention, Qiao Haijiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I discovered it in time and didn’t say anything wrong. Otherwise, it would have been bad if I had caused trouble for my sister.
"Okay, I have something else to do. You guys go back and be careful." Without even seeing anyone off, Wang Shuai said a few nice words, turned around, and ran off...
