"Xiao Qiao, your salary is not low, and you still let Nan Nan work. Nan Nan's grades are not bad, but you let her work without completing her nine years of compulsory education. Is your family really okay? Did your wife spend all the money when she came to me last time to send our eldest daughter to the affiliated middle school? Xiao Qiao, Uncle Li taught you a long time ago that you should be pragmatic. There are top talents in every profession. If you are not good at studying, you can change your job. Others. Is it okay to spend the family's money and sacrifice the future of another daughter to fulfill the eldest daughter? It is useless to be ambitious. Only by being down-to-earth can you take steady steps. Do everything within your ability. Young people nowadays are not down-to-earth and are very impetuous. Xiao Qiao, how come you have this bad habit? Don't forget that you are a soldier!"
Qiao Dongliang was stunned after being scolded by Mr. Li in a serious manner.
He heard and understood every word of what Mr. Li said, but why was his brain not enough when they were combined into sentences?
"Uncle Li, did you help Zijin go to the affiliated high school?" Qiao Dongliang asked in disbelief after a long while.
"Xiao Ding found me and asked me to help make a phone call. She handled everything after that. Xiao Qiao, you should know my temper. I never do such things. Even if it was my son or my daughter, you grew up with them, have you ever seen me do such things for them? Xiao Qiao, do you know how disappointed Uncle Li was with you at that time?"
Uncle Li sighed.
At first, when Ding Jiayi asked Mr. Li to solve the matter of Qiao Zijin, Mr. Li was really not happy. Mr. Li never liked to do such things.
He let his own son and daughter move up step by step, but he wanted to help other people's daughters to get a backdoor. Mr. Li wanted to refuse Ding Jiayi at that time.
"Uncle Li, I don't know." Qiao Dongliang rubbed his face vigorously. It turned out that Old Ding had done this behind his back. So that was how Zijin could get into the Affiliated High School.
"I know you definitely don't know. You should know that you won't let Xiao Ding come." Uncle Li nodded. How could he not understand the character of the child he watched grow up?
Hearing Uncle Li say this, Qiao Dongliang's embarrassed mood improved a little.
"But Xiao Qiao, Xiao Ding is your wife. You don't know what she is doing or what she is thinking. Until your eldest daughter really went to the Affiliated High School to study, you didn't even react. This is what disappointed Uncle Li the most. Xiao Qiao, you are a soldier. You are no longer in the army now. Have you retired in your heart?"
Confused, too confused!
"Do you know what I was thinking at that time? I was thinking that it was your fault that you had already retired. Otherwise, if you stayed in the army like this, it would not matter if you harmed yourself, but what if you harmed your comrades? Xiao Qiao, the only one who can disappoint me is you."
Of course, the reason why Uncle Li agreed at that time was because he guessed that it must be Ding Jiayi who came on her own initiative.
Ding Jiayi was the matchmaker for Qiao Dongliang by Old Li. Without Old Li, Qiao Dongliang would have married Ding Jiayi.
Ding Jiayi had a small problem, and what could Uncle Li do? No matter how unhappy he was, he could only make the call.
But at that time, Uncle Li told Ding Jiayi directly that this was the first and last time.
Qiao Dongliang was angry and scared when he heard Mr. Li's disappointment in him. He thought it was his wife who held him back and his little daughter who told Mr. Li about the family situation, which made him so embarrassed.
But after listening to Mr. Li's words, Qiao Dongliang realized that the real problem was actually with him. Mr. Li was disappointed with his own performance and had nothing to do with his family.
"Xiao Qiao, tell me honestly, when you heard what I said just now, did you think that Nan Nan told Bao Guo and Bao Guo told me?"
Facing Mr. Li's questioning, Qiao Dongliang's face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
"Look at you. Where is the iron-blooded demeanor of a soldier? You convicted Nan Nan without checking or asking anything. Did your superiors teach you this when you were in the army? People say that Xiao Ding is biased. In my opinion, your heart is not right either. Some things were indeed told to me by Baoguo, but there are also some things that have long been spread in the compound. Xiao Qiao, isn't it time for you to reflect on this?"
No one knew when everyone in the compound knew that Ding Jiayi had sold Qiao Nan's books, and almost prevented Qiao Nan from studying.
As for the fact that Ding Jiayi wanted her little daughter to miss school and work, it was spread without a single detail missing.
Qiao Nan brought back a pile of old books from the recycling station that day, and many people in the compound saw it.
Seeing and hearing from others, the people in the compound naturally believed these words.
In other words, what happened to the Qiao family in the past two or three months has been treated as a drama by the people in the compound, and has been used as a negative example.
"It's spread?" Qiao Dongliang was completely dumbfounded. No wonder other people in the compound looked at him strangely every time he went to work or came home from work.
"Xiao Qiao, I'm really disappointed in you." Uncle Li was very angry: "Where is your heart? Why have you become like a piece of wood?"
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back. Baoguo told me that Nan Nan is a taciturn person in school. Her personality is just like what you said, very quiet. You just need to send Nan Nan over this weekend. As for meals and so on, you don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, Uncle Li waved his hand and let Qiao Dongliang leave.
Now he is very upset and doesn't want to see Qiao Dongliang.
In fact, when he went to Qiao's house to thank Qiao Nan that day, Mr. Li already felt that the atmosphere in Qiao's house was weird.
Later, Zhu Baoguo told Mr. Li about the unfavorable rumors about Qiao Nan in school, and Mr. Li sent someone to check it out.
You don't know until you check it out. You will be shocked when you check it out. So many things have happened in Qiao's family, and every one of them is a scandal.
Before school started, Qiao Nan was beaten by Ding Jiayi and ran out of the house with a nosebleed. After being sent to the hospital by Qiao Dongliang, when the doctor diagnosed malnutrition, Mr. Li had no idea what to say.
Now the country is doing well, society is developing, and it is not an era of famine. Qiao Dongliang raised a malnourished daughter. This is really...
Mr. Li clearly remembers the day he met Qiao Nan and her sister. Qiao Zijin looked polite, dressed brightly, and had a sweet mouth. She was a person who knew how to deal with things.
It was obvious that this child was well protected by her parents. In contrast, Qiao Nan stood behind her all the time, without saying a word. If he didn't mention it, Qiao Nan would be like a shadow and have no sense of existence. Mr. Li couldn't help but feel distressed.
