Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

July.

On the morning of the 15th, the weather was very dull and the atmosphere was very tense.

Because today is the first day of the college entrance examination.

Under the curious eyes of the neighbors, Lao Qiao's family went out collectively to "escort" Qiao Yicheng to take the exam at No. [-] Middle School.

Chen Tao bought a tricycle and took the five children there together.

bell bell~

Qi Zhiqiang also rode a tricycle and drove his son Qi Weimin to the entrance of the alley.

"Brother-in-law, please bring me the second prize and four cents quickly. Let us compete with each other to see who can ride faster!"

Qi Zhiqiang said happily.

Of course he was very happy, because Qi Weimin was very promising, and his teachers said that he would definitely be admitted to a very good university.

Therefore, despite being nervous, he is also looking forward to the moment when his son becomes a college student.

That is also his honor as a father.

Unfortunately, Chen Tao knew very well that this good uncle only had a few years to live.

Cancer is something that will not be cured even 50 years from now, let alone now.

"Haha, let's compete. If one of us loses, we will treat you to dinner at noon today."

Chen Tao is not afraid of competing in driving skills and physical fitness.

Qi Zhiqiang became more energetic: "Okay, the two strong and the beautiful, you two, come over quickly!"

Seeing the two adults showing off, the children were also excited.

So, under the extremely curious eyes of passers-by, and amid the cheers of six children, two middle-aged men raced tricycles like children.

Of course, since it was the morning rush hour for work and there were many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, they couldn't get up at all.

eight o'clock.

The entrance of Ninth Middle School.

Chen Tao took a sip of water and said with a smile:
"Yicheng, dad can only send you here. The rest of the journey is entirely up to you."

"Well, I see!"

Qiao Yicheng burst into tears. Thinking of the past years, he made up his mind not to let down the expectations of his father and his late mother, and to get into a good university!
Qi Zhiqiang also hugged his precious eldest son and said seriously:

"Don't be nervous and take the exam well!"

Qi Weimin smiled and nodded, he was full of confidence.

"Brother, cousin, come on!"

Erqiang, Sanli, Simei and the youngest Qiqi shouted to their two brothers in unison.

Qiao Yicheng carried a canvas bag, smiled at each other and walked to the school first.

"Issei~Wait for me!"

Qi Weimin quickly caught up.

After they entered the door, Chen Tao said to Qi Zhiqiang:
"Let's not wait in vain. I made a reservation at a nearby morning tea shop a few days ago. Let's go drink tea and wait for someone!"

Qi Zhiqiang was surprised: "You are too well prepared."

Chen Tao chuckled. He had already had the experience of taking exams. Of course he knew that he should check the spots in advance, otherwise it would be too difficult on this hot day.

Noon on the 17th.

Qiao Yicheng finished his last history exam and walked out of the Ninth Middle School with ease.

Then he waited for Qi Weimin, and the two of them went to the morning tea shop to find his father, and then went to the Da Sanyuan Restaurant for dinner.

The so-called three yuan refers to Jie Yuan, Hui Yuan and Zhuang Yuan, which are very good fortunes.

"Brother-in-law, you are really amazing now! You often go out to restaurants. If my sister were still here, I would definitely be able to enjoy the blessings with you~"

Wei Shufang sighed.

"Yes, your sister's fate is bad and she has suffered a lot. I really feel sorry for her."

Chen Tao couldn't explain it, so he had to take the blame for Qiao Zuwang.

"The children have just finished their exams, why are they talking about this? We should talk about which university is better now and what major the children want to study!"

Qi Zhiqiang changed the topic.

Wei Shufang did not insist.

***
May 8st, morning.

Chen Tao went to the publishing house, while Qiao Yicheng stayed at home, staring at Erqiang and Simei doing their summer homework.

Sanli is very conscious and does not need his supervision.

A quarter past ten.

A young postman rode a bicycle outside the house, held up an envelope and shouted:
"Qiao Yicheng, I have your letter!"

Hearing this, Qiao Yicheng hurriedly ran out of the door and took the admission notice from Nanjing Normal University from the postman.

'It's okay if it's not Nanda...!I passed the exam! '

Qiao Yicheng was a little depressed, but Nanjing Normal University was also his target university, so he excitedly shouted to the sky:
"I passed the exam! I passed the exam!"

After shouting twice, he threw the envelope into the sky again and did somersaults.

And these two girls, Sanli and Simei, also rushed over at this time.

The two of them picked up the envelope on the ground, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but scream.

After hearing this, other neighbors gathered around to see what was strange.

Many children also squeezed in to see the college students and Qiao Yicheng, a child from another family.

It’s so rare to be a college student these days!

Aunt Wu was surprised and couldn't help but change her words:

"The eldest son of the Qiao family has loved reading since he was a child. I have already noticed that he is a college student!"

When the neighbors heard this, they all echoed to show their foresight.

When Chen Tao returned from riding his bicycle, everyone greeted him with a smile and praised him for giving birth to a good son.

Being rich is different from having a successful son.

No matter how rich Chen Tao is, it would be better to have a son who is a college student and make his neighbors even more envious.

"Brother Qiao, congratulations to you. Your family is really doing great. They have all been admitted to college!" Aunt Wu said enviously.

"Thank you, thank you, I'll treat you all to dinner in two days!"

After Chen Tao dealt with the neighbors, he went home to look after the children.

"Dad, I didn't get admitted to Nanjing University."

Qiao Yicheng handed over the notice and said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay." Chen Tao took it and looked at it and said, "The normal school is also very good. If you don't want to go, you can just repeat it for one year."

Qiao Yicheng shook his head, obviously not wanting to read it again.

"Dad, let's go to a roast duck restaurant to celebrate my eldest brother tonight, okay?"

Qiao Simei asked with a smile.

"Celebrating your big brother? I think you want to eat it yourself?"

With that said, Chen Tao picked up his cute little daughter and said to Qiao Yicheng:
"Today is a big day. You don't have to stay at home to do homework. Let's go out to the mall together."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Simei immediately smacked Chen Tao's profile, and then cheered again.

Erqiang, Sanli, and Qiqi were very happy.

The next day.

The Qi family held a college entrance banquet, and Chen Tao also took the whole family to eat for three days.

Qi Weimin is the absolute protagonist, after all, he is the city's top liberal arts scholar.

Qiao Yicheng was a little envious, but in the end he still admitted that he was not as good as the other person.

three days later.

Chen Tao held a college entrance banquet.

There is no need to hire other chefs, just ask the Qi family to hire them.

Therefore, for six consecutive days, the neighbors thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and the atmosphere was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

***
May 8st, morning.

Welfare factory office.

"Old Qiao, you came just in time, I have a good thing to tell you!"

After seeing Chen Tao come in, Shi Weidong said with a smile.

He looked like an old fox.

Chen Tao chuckled: "What good thing can it be my turn? I don't believe it."

Shi Weidong pretended to be displeased: "How can you not believe me? How kind I am to you! Now that the canteen is short of a purchaser, I thought of you immediately... Tell me, should you thank me?"

"Purchasing? Feiqiu! Logically speaking, I have to thank you for your cultivation, but I'm still a little worried. Should someone else be responsible for buying this procurement, and I'm responsible for picking it on the third wheel?"

Chen Tao said bluntly.

When Shi Weidong heard this, he knew that Chen Tao was not easy to fool, so he pretended to be angry and said:
"Old Qiao! I have good intentions, why do you think so? Besides, this is the factory's decision, and you must obey it. There is no room for bargaining."

Chen Tao nodded, and then took out his resignation letter: "I won't bargain, and I won't take this class anymore. Give this good thing to others!"

what?
When Shi Weidong read the letter, he felt a little embarrassed because he was afraid that Qiao Jing would cause trouble, so he softened his tone:
"Don't be impulsive. You still have to go to the warehouse. I'll arrange for someone else to go to the head office!"

"Haha, I'm not impulsive. I've wanted to resign for a long time."

While Chen Tao smiled, he pulled out a novel from Shi Weidong's materials, hurriedly took his pen again, and signed his name on the title page.

"You are..."

Shi Weidong was a little puzzled. Could this old Qiao be crazy?
"I forgot to tell you, the novel you are reading was written by me."

After Chen Tao finished speaking, he put down his pen and looked at Shi Weidong with a smile on his face.

He is already forty years old, but he looks at least thirty. He looks very calm and confident, full of the aura of a superior.

"You...really you?"

Shi Weidong couldn't believe it, but a voice in his heart told him that Lao Qiao was not lying.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, go to our alley and ask. Who doesn't know that I make a lot of money from writing? Who doesn't know that I have taught a son who is in college? You, please go through the resignation procedures for me! I I have to concentrate on writing from now on!”

Chen Tao urged with a smile.

"Old Qiao, don't leave! I'll find a free position for you, and you can just write in peace in our factory!"

Shi Weidong's attitude changed drastically and he didn't want to let Chen Tao leave.

"Lao Shi, I advise you not to have any evil thoughts. Otherwise, if someone calls you one day, I won't be able to explain it to you."

As soon as Chen Tao said these words, Shi Weidong immediately gave up his thoughts.

The "Guanhai" in front of him was beyond his control.

That night.

Qiao's main hall.

After dinner, Chen Tao took out 3 yuan and said to Qiao Yicheng:
"After you register at the university, I will also go abroad. You take the money, [-] of which is your bonus for entering the university, and the other [-] is your living expenses."

going abroad?

Qiao Yicheng said in disbelief: "Are you really going abroad? What are you going to do? Do you speak foreign languages?"

"Foreign languages ​​are too easy! Last time I went to Shanghai, I had a long chat with the visa officer. They said my New York accent was very authentic, just like a local there."

Chen Tao said these words in English, and then translated them again.

Qiao Yicheng was suddenly stunned.

And Erqiang and other younger siblings looked up to their father with admiration.

"Dad, when did you learn this?"

Qiao Simei asked.

"Doesn't it feel amazing? Hahahaha, I just want to secretly work hard and surprise everyone!"

"If this is [Guan Hai], do you also read his novels?"

"I don't read, I write, because I just watch the sea."

"..."

The children of the Qiao family were confused again.

Dad is so awesome! (End of chapter)
