Qiao Dongliang couldn't control Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, so he just saved as much as he could.
Apart from home, Qiao Dongliang, a grown man, had even managed not to spend five yuan a month outside. Even for the rare lunch outside, Qiao Dongliang didn't dare to buy vegetables, all were vegetarian, and he only ordered one vegetarian dish at a time.
But as the head of the family, Qiao Dongliang was too embarrassed to tell the three women in the family no matter how worried he was.
Qiao Dongliang always thought that the most considerate person in the family should be his wife Ding Jiayi, but who knew it was the usually taciturn little daughter.
"Nannan, you, you went to Pingzhong, did you see that Dad was worried about money?" Qiao Dongliang sniffed, his voice a little choked.
"Well, if my sister and I both want to go to college, I know you and mom can't afford it." Qiao Nan responded calmly: "I know my sister and I are different. My parents have liked my sister more since we were young. Mom insisted that I go to work before. I understand what she meant. It's rare that dad is willing to support me to continue my studies. I can't make money, but at least I have to help dad reduce some of the burden in other ways."
"Nan Nan, dad is useless. He wants to give birth to a daughter, but he can't afford to raise her." Qiao Dongliang's tone was full of bitterness. It turned out that the little daughter knew it all along, but the little daughter didn't say anything and endured everything silently: "Nan Nan, do you feel wronged?"
"At first I felt wronged. I didn't understand. My sister and I are both our parents' daughters, why is there such a big difference? But after a while, I didn't feel anything anymore."
The calmer Qiao Nan's mood became, the more Qiao Dongliang blamed himself. The child had been wronged for so long that he was numb and almost had no feelings for his parents.
No wonder, no wonder in the past year, every time he and Lao Ding quarreled, Nan Nan didn't respond or try to persuade them.
"Dad, go to work, you don't have to worry about this anymore. You still have at least two years to raise money for my sister's college tuition. As for mine, we'll talk about it later." Thinking of the Qiao family's financial situation, Qiao Nan also had a headache.
In her current situation, she can indeed find a job during the summer vacation, and she will definitely earn more than Qiao Zijin.
But she just doesn't want their family to develop a habit, thinking that she can make money and she can solve any problem by herself. This is not enough, if they encounter any financial problems, they can still ask her for help.
In her previous life, she has been a mobile ATM for her mother and Qiao Zijin.
"Well, it's finally summer vacation, you should rest more, don't read all the time, it's not good for your eyes." Qiao Dongliang cheered up. Nannan has thought so much for him. If he doesn't cheer up, how can he be worthy of Nannan's call of "Dad".
"Old Qiao, you seem to be in a good mood today." Qiao Dongliang arrived at the factory. His colleagues greeted him with a smile: "What's up, have you solved your problem?"
"Is it so obvious?" Qiao Dongliang touched his chin.
"That's right, but you don't see how sharp my eyes are. Have you solved the problem of money for my daughter's education?" His colleagues knew Qiao Dongliang's situation. They knew that Qiao Dongliang had two daughters, and both of them were in school, with only one grade difference.
These books, the more you read, the more expensive they are.
"My little daughter has good grades and is expected to be admitted to the Affiliated Middle School. If she is admitted and ranks well enough, she can go to Pingzhong Middle School, where she doesn't have to pay tuition and can get scholarships."
"Really, your little daughter is so promising!" The colleague was surprised: "She chose Pingzhong Middle School instead of the Affiliated Middle School. Old Qiao, you are so lucky. No wonder old people often say that daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets. If my little boy had been more competitive and stopped making me angry about his grades, he would have been filial to me. Now having a son is really not as useful as having a daughter."
"My Nannan is very well behaved."
"But, Old Qiao, isn't it said that your eldest daughter is also a student of the Affiliated High School? Why didn't she do the same? If she had been admitted to Pingzhong in the same way, your two daughters would have been able to attend a high school for free. When your two daughters go to college, the money will flow out like water. You can't spend it as fast as you earn. You can save as much as you can in the three years of high school."
Qiao Dongliang's expression changed: "My eldest daughter is not as sensible and considerate as my youngest."
Zijin didn't even say that she was saving him some money. Zijin still spent all the money in the family to have the opportunity to attend the Affiliated High School.
Nannan had the opportunity to attend the Affiliated High School, but in order to save money, she would rather go to Pingzhong. Zijin couldn't pass the entrance exam, but he still insisted on going.
Comparing the two daughters, Qiao Dongliang was a little hesitant.
Raising a son is a way to take care of you in your old age. He didn't have a son, so he wanted to keep Zijin at home to find a son-in-law. But with Zijin's personality, can he really rely on Zijin to take care of him in his old age?
In the current situation, Nannan is obviously more filial than Zijin.
"Is that so? But it's good. Both of your daughters are good at studying. It's a blessing to have one who is so sensible. Raising such a daughter is really much less troublesome than raising a son." Patting Qiao Dongliang's shoulder, the colleague went to do his own thing.
The colleague's words made Qiao Dongliang's heart move. Qiao Dongliang touched an idea and secretly weighed this possibility in his heart.
If he really wanted to choose a daughter to stay with him, he should definitely choose a better daughter, a daughter who could be stronger than his son.
When she was young, Zijin seemed to be more flexible, sweet-mouthed, and capable than Nannan.
But looking at the current situation, even though Nannan is usually silent, she has a scale in her heart and knows everything.
Qiao Nan didn't know that her early plan would cause such a change in Qiao Dongliang. The reason why she didn't go to the attached middle school was indeed because the ordinary middle school could exempt tuition and miscellaneous fees, and more importantly, she wanted to stay away from Qiao Zijin, so as not to be calculated and bullied by Qiao Zijin again.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Zijin also had this idea, and she did Qiao Nan a favor for nothing, allowing Qiao Nan to have a strong presence in front of Qiao Dongliang and establish the image of a good daughter.
At this time, Qiao Dongliang had only one sentence in his mind, that is, if you raise a daughter, you should raise a younger daughter.
Qiao Nan, who was still at home, looked at the empty house and was stunned.
It was really rare that after the holiday, Qiao Zijin also went out earlier than her.
There was no one at home, so was it necessary for her to go to Zhai's house to review?
"Is anyone there?" Before Qiao Nan could decide whether to go to Zhai's house, a strange man's voice came from outside the Qiao family's door.
"Who is it?!" Qiao Nan became alert and did not dare to open the door casually.
Qiao Nan walked to the window and looked out. Seeing the blurry and tall figure, Qiao Nan was confused. Who was this? It was not
