Chapter 18 Respect
"Nannan, how can you spend money recklessly?" Qiao Zijin was unhappy. She knew that Qiao Nan had some money in her hands, which she had saved over the years.
She originally wanted Qiao Nan to spend the money on her so that she could go to high school with honor.
Qiao Dongliang, who was just overjoyed, frowned and said, "How can this be considered a waste of money? This money was spent wisely!"
Qiao Dongliang knows that buying books from the recycling station is much cheaper than ordering new books from the school. Not only is the money not wasted, it is spent correctly and worthwhile, and it is also economical!
"Let me ask you, where did you get the money?" Ding Jiayi pulled Qiao Nan and said, "How much did you spend on the books? How much do you have left in your pocket? Give it to me."
Damn girl, you actually dared to hide money.
"What are you doing!" Qiao Dongliang protected Qiao Nan behind him and puffed out his chest. Ding Jiayi didn't dare to touch Qiao Nan again: "The money was given to Nan Nan by me."
But he didn't give much, and it seemed that Nan Nan never spent the money. The money saved over the years could come in handy at the critical moment!
"Nannan, do you have enough money? Did you just buy a book? Don't worry if it's not enough. Come to dad and I'll buy it for you!"
Qiao Dongliang could see that his daughter would never get a penny from his wife, and any money she had would be taken away by his wife.
Fortunately, my wife didn't know about the money before, otherwise my daughter wouldn't have thought of buying books from the recycling station.
Moreover, compared with the eldest daughter, the eldest daughter spent all the money she got from him and even bought that kind of thing.
In comparison, Qiao Dongliang began to pay more attention to his daughter who had remained silent all this time.
All daughters are loved, but their five fingers are of different lengths. In Qiao Dongliang's impression, his daughter has no other advantages except that her grades are slightly better than his eldest daughter.
However, today or recently, Qiao Dongliang discovered that his daughter, apart from not being as talkative as his elder daughter, has many advantages, the most important of which is that she has positive ideas and a smart mind.
If Old Ding hadn't relied on being her daughter's mother, she might not have been able to bully her daughter.
Sure enough, as Qiao Nan spoke next, Qiao Dongliang became more certain of this point.
"No, I have found all the books for the first and second year of junior high school."
"Where is it?" Ding Jiayi was the first to ask about the situation.
When she finds all those books, Qiao Nan won't be able to keep any of them. At most, she will let Qiao Nan study for one more year to complete compulsory education. Qiao Nan can forget about getting any more!
"I'm not at home anyway." Qiao Nan snorted, "I'll bring back whatever book I want to read."
When she brought the book home, her father was already at home. In front of her father, her mother didn't dare to snatch her book or tear it up.
After hearing Qiao Nan's answer, Ding Jiayi was so angry that she groaned. Qiao Dongliang, on the other hand, smiled and touched his daughter's head: "That's good."
The daughter has also learned to fight guerrilla warfare with Lao Ding. Well done! The daughter has the spirit of the Qiao family.
If Qiao Nan was a son, the Qiao family would have a successor, and he would be a perfect soldier!
Qiao Dongliang glanced at Ding Jiayi, who still looked angry, and said, "Old Ding, remember what I said before? Nan Nan is good. We should train her well."
Qiao Dongliang's words made Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin's faces change at the same time. Now, not only can they not let Qiao Nan go to school and work, but they even have to train him well. What can they use to train him? !
After training Qiao Nan, what should Qiao Zijin do?
In a family of four, only Qiao Dongliang has an income now, and all the family savings have been spent by Ding Jiayi.
One person earns, four people spend, and two of them are big spenders, Ding Jiayi thought to herself, and she was so anxious that she got angry, and a circle of blisters appeared around her mouth that night.
Ding Jiayi was feeling miserable but she couldn't tell Qiao Dongliang about this and could only worry about it alone.
The next morning, when Qiao Dongliang saw Ding Jiayi's mouth full of bubbles, he thought his wife was just getting irritated, but his two daughters knew in their hearts why Ding Jiayi was like this.
Qiao Nan is already overwhelmed by her own difficulties, not to mention that she is the one who is always being sacrificed. No matter how anxious Ding Jiayi is at this moment, Qiao Nan says she can do nothing to help.
So the day before school started, Qiao Nan went to Zhai's house to review as usual. In order to avoid Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan simply didn't go home for lunch and spent fifty cents to buy a piece of bread to cook.
In the evening, Qiao Nan would go home at the same time as Qiao Dongliang got off work.
After reviewing for two days, Qiao Nan became more and more clear about his current level. After thinking about it, Qiao Nan felt that he needed to talk to Qiao Dongliang: "Dad."
"What's up? Come in."
Qiao Dongliang pointed to a stool in the room, and Qiao Nan sat on it: "Dad, there is a situation that I need to report to you. You know my mom's attitude this summer... Dad, this time when school starts, my grades may not be as good as before, or even a little worse. Dad, can you not look at the results of the midterm exam and wait to see my performance in the final exam?"
Qiao Nan was really worried that with only half a semester, her grades wouldn't catch up, and if her mother made a fuss, her father would agree to stop her from studying.
Qiao Dongliang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but Nannan, you have to remember that since you have signed a military warrant with me, I can ignore the midterm exam, but you have to give me a satisfactory answer at the end of the term. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to your mother."
When teaching children, be relaxed and tense in moderation.
You can't be too strict, but you can't be too relaxed either.
Qiao Zijin's failure in the high school entrance examination made Qiao Dongliang reflect for a long time. He felt that it was because he and his wife were too confident and relaxed about their eldest daughter that she became like this.
He didn't want to make the same mistake with his daughter a second time.
"Yeah." Qiao Nan didn't know what Qiao Dongliang was thinking, but he took Qiao Dongliang's words to heart.
In any case, she bought herself an extra six months.
"Dad, I'm going to review then." Faced with the opportunity that he had finally fought for, Qiao Nan cherished it very much and immediately went back to his room to read.
"Mom." Qiao Zijin stayed in the back room with Ding Jiayi, with worry in her eyes.
"Huh..." Ding Jiayi let out a breath, "Don't worry, Mom will find a way. School starts tomorrow, so don't think about this year. But after you go to high school, you have to live frugally. Also, Qiao Nan has money, don't you know?"
When Qiao Zijin heard that she had to save money, she felt unhappy: "Dad only gave me and Nan Nan a few cents every time. I thought Qiao Nan spent it all. I didn't know she saved it."
"You must keep a close eye on her from now on. Don't let her have money. Look at what happened this time. If she had no money, she wouldn't have been able to buy books, and she wouldn't have done well in the high school entrance exam. At most, she would have been delayed by a year in finding a job."
