Qiao Haisheng had many thoughts on his mind. With his two children away from home, there was a real possibility they might cross that line. His daughter had just started university; if she got pregnant, there would definitely be bad news. Thinking of this, he decided to talk to his son-in-law about their personal life later. He didn't plan to discuss it at the dinner table, to avoid embarrassing them.
Su Chenhao: "I haven't been to Jiuzhou, so I don't know much about it. Whether or not to rent a house, we'll discuss it when we get there."
I'll find a job nearby, and even if we don't live together, I'll visit her often.
Li Meihua became more and more satisfied with her son-in-law. If her daughter weren't so young, she would really like to get them married so that everyone could feel at ease.
Qiao Dashan saw that his daughter was asleep in his arms, so he quickly handed her over to his wife and waited until they left before speaking.
"When I was working, I heard them say that there was money everywhere in Jiuzhou City, and as long as you had the ability, you could make money."
I don't know if this is true or false.
Su Chenhao: "That's not true, but it's half true. There are opportunities to make money, but it's not that easy to make money."
"Brother, you just focus on running the shop from home. We'll think about the future after we've settled in."
Qiao Dashan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you and manage the shop well at home."
Su Chenqiu looked at her brother, knowing they would be parting ways the day after tomorrow, and felt a pang of reluctance. Unfortunately, she was too young to go with him, so she could only suppress her emotions.
Qiao Xiaoni carried the things she bought during the day onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and said to Su Chenqiu:
"Look what I've prepared for you and Manli. It's all stuff you'll need when you start school."
Manli is still young, so you should teach her more at home and try to help her skip grades later. That way, our family will have another little prodigy.
Su Chenqiu was delighted to see his new schoolbag. He picked it up and examined it closely. On the kang (a heated brick bed) were dozens of newly bought notebooks. These were things he had never dared to imagine before, but today he possessed them all.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Qiao Xiaoni: "Don't be so polite with me. I should have prepared some for you a long time ago, but I just haven't had time to buy them. I passed by a store today and bought you some extra notebooks."
Holding his schoolbag, Su Chenqiu was filled with excitement. After seeing his brother and sister-in-law off, he was about to step into the school gates and begin a new life. He thanked God for bringing his sister-in-law to his brother's side.
...
It wasn't until the clock struck ten that everyone had to leave, because they had to get up early the next morning to do business, and they wouldn't have the energy to work if they didn't sleep well.
The next day, Qiao Xiaoni and Su Chenhao went to the shop and worked for a while, seeing off the first group of customers, before riding their bicycles back to their old house.
The journey was quite long, and it took more than two hours to get there. As soon as I entered the gate of the courtyard, the dogs in the yard started barking.
Qiao Sunshi, who lived in the side room, came out first. Seeing them arrive, she turned and went back inside. She didn't look at them again, nor did she say anything more. After everything that had happened, she had learned her lesson. Do more, say less; win back the old man's heart first.
Qiao Xiaoni noticed that the windows of the side room were all covered with paper, and with winter fast approaching, Qiao Sunshi was wearing only thin clothes and her face was pale. She looked rather pitiful, clearly trying to gain her grandfather's sympathy.
With a creak, the door opened, and Zhang Ru came out of the main house. Seeing them arrive, she quickly walked over with a big smile on her face.
