Qiao Zijin paused while washing dishes, and then looked uncomfortable: "No, Nannan's fever has nothing to do with me."
"But Qiaonan said?" Ding Jiayi listened to what Qiaonan said. She definitely didn't do it, and Old Qiao would never do it. There are only four people in the family, so it can only be the eldest daughter.
"What Nannan said must be right? Mom, don't forget how hot Nannan's forehead was that day. Nannan was so sick that she took dreams as facts. Nannan is suspicious, don't make yourself like Nannan."
Qiao Zijin shook her hands: "Mom, don't you think about it, Dad didn't know that we spent all the family money until I went to the affiliated high school. If Dad knew about Grandpa Li's affairs, he would be so angry. Now we have to do our best to make Dad less angry. Dad didn't mention Nan Nan's dream just now, so don't take it to heart, and don't mention it in front of Dad. It didn't happen in the first place, Nan Nan talked in her dream, why are you making a fuss about it, do you think there are too few things that make Dad angry?"
God knows when Qiao Nan mentioned what happened on that rainy night, Qiao Zijin was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Fortunately, her father didn't continue to ask about this matter, otherwise she was not sure whether she would be exposed.
Qiao Zijin was afraid of Qiao Dongliang, but she was not afraid of Ding Jiayi's mother.
After being coaxed, deceived and threatened by Qiao Zijin, Ding Jiayi really stopped worrying about whether Qiao Nan's words were true or a dream.
There are enough troubles at home now, and if this matter is pursued again, it will never end.
Hearing Ding Jiayi calling for dinner, Qiao Dongliang didn't want to come out to eat at first, because he was mad at Ding Jiayi.
But when he thought of the doctor saying that his little daughter was malnourished, Qiao Dongliang called Qiao Nan out: "Nan Nan, you are growing up, don't be angry with your body, let's go to dinner."
"Okay, Dad."
Qiao Nan agreed immediately. He couldn't get angry with anyone, but he couldn't get angry with himself.
The family of four sat together. Qiao Dongliang didn't look at his wife or his eldest daughter. He just focused on putting the delicious dishes into Qiao Nan's bowl and reminded her, "Nan Nan, eat more. Eat until you are full. You are too thin now."
"I know. Dad, you work very hard. Eat more too. Don't treat yourself badly."
Qiao Nan also put the meat dishes into Qiao Dongliang's bowl.
In the past, the Qiao family could eat at least two or three meals with such a plate of meat. Now Qiao Nan eats it with great effort and eats it in one meal.
Their family lived frugally and finally spent all the money they saved on Qiao Zijin. It was a big loss.
Seeing the Dongpo pork that she specially cooked for her eldest daughter, the father and daughter ate it piece by piece, and only three pieces were left in the bowl. Ding Jiayi felt a pang of pain: "Zijin, you eat too. You've worked hard in school, you deserve to eat something good." After
saying that, Ding Jiayi put a piece of meat in Qiao Zijin's bowl, and then took another piece for Qiao Zijin, and finally put the last piece in her own bowl.
Looking at the two pieces of meat in the rice bowl, Qiao Zijin moved her mouth, feeling very unhappy.
Such a large plate of meat, if it were in the past, most of it should have been eaten by her, but today it all fell into Qiao Nan's hands.
Most of the troubles today were related to Qiao Zijin, and Qiao Zijin didn't have the confidence to pick up the meat.
Unexpectedly, her father really didn't care about her when he said he would, and took care of Qiao Nan, the dead girl, and gave all the meat to Qiao Nan. If her mother hadn't picked up two pieces of meat for her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to eat any meat this time.
"That's right, Nan Nan, you study hard, eat well when you are in school, and don't wrong yourself." Qiao Dongliang took out five yuan from his pocket and gave it to Qiao Nan: "Take this money and spend it. Although we can't be extravagant and wasteful as human beings, and don't think about things that don't belong to us. But we can't be harsh on ourselves or wrong ourselves, understand?"
"Dad, don't worry, I understand." Qiao Nan put the five yuan into her pocket without hesitation.
Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Nan sang the same tune, making Ding Jiayi blush, and Qiao Zijin was so embarrassed that she almost buried her face in the bowl.
After returning to the room, Qiao Dongliang thought again and again. It was true that his wife cared about the eldest daughter, but she didn't know the situation of the school so well.
If the eldest daughter hadn't said anything in front of his wife, his wife wouldn't have thought of letting her go to the attached middle school.
The most important thing is that with his wife's personality, she couldn't make a decision to spend all the family savings to help her eldest daughter change schools.
If his wife was really so decisive, she could leave the Ding family and find her own life with her own ability.
But even if his wife had a stubborn temper, if the Ding family didn't want to sell her by weight, she would still stay in the Ding family and continue to work like a slave for the Ding family.
Qiao Dongliang understood after thinking about it that his eldest daughter probably made great efforts in this matter.
He did not blame his eldest daughter for thinking about her own future. What
he could not accept was that even if he really wanted to spend the money, he should have discussed it with his family instead of making a decision first and asking for permission later. He even had to wait until Nan Nan mentioned this matter before he knew about it.
Ding Jiayi wanted Qiao Nan to go to school and work, but Qiao Zijin did not support it. The reason was that Qiao Zijin spent all the money in the family on studying. When Qiao Dongliang thought of this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
For the first time, he realized that his eldest daughter seemed to have over-calculated her family for her own future.
All the things were squeezed together, and Qiao Dongliang now felt particularly awkward and uncomfortable when he saw Qiao Zijin.
What he said just now was completely aimed at Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin.
After Qiao Zijin understood the hidden meaning in Qiao Dongliang's words, she tightened her hand holding the chopsticks, lowered her head and finished the rice in the bowl: "Dad, can I talk to you?"
Qiao Dongliang just finished eating at this time.
Qiao Dongliang put down the bowl, because he was angry and didn't want to talk to Qiao Zijin, but in the end he still responded: "Come to the study with me."
As soon as the father and daughter left, Qiao Nan immediately put down the bowl and went back to her room.
Anyway, from today on, Qiao Zijin doesn't do housework, and don't even think about asking her to do it.
Seeing that the father and daughter were more and more bossy, Ding Jiayi held her breath and didn't dare to explode, so she could only continue to clean up silently.
After returning to her room, Qiao Nan stared at the book for a long time, but unfortunately she didn't read a single word into the house.
After a while, Qiao Nan took a few deep breaths and told herself to stay calm.
Now her mother and Qiao Zijin made some "small mistakes". Qiao Zijin was a smart person and knew that her father was the financial pillar of the family, so it was impossible for her to offend her father and let him be disappointed in her.
No matter what, even if her father could be coaxed by Qiao Zijin, she didn't need to be nervous and afraid anymore.
