Chapter 22

Qiao Jiarong had always known that Grandpa Tieniu was very interested in the new house, but he didn't expect that he would be more concerned about her room. When she saw her room, she was mentally prepared, but she was still surprised.

Grandpa Tieniu was really kind to her, and he will be her biological grandfather from now on.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiarong stepped forward and hugged Qiao Tieniu's only arm and said, "Grandpa, you will be my biological grandfather from now on. My granddaughter will definitely be filial to you."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" After hearing Qiao Jiarong's words, Qiao Tieniu yelled three times in a row.

In fact, Qiao Tieniu didn't care at all whether Qiao Jiarong regarded her as his biological grandfather. Anyway, he knew that this child was a person who repaid his kindness. Even if Qiao Jiarong didn't say it, he knew that she would definitely be filial to him.

After the new house was built, Qiao Tieniu did not let Qiao Jiarong move there directly.

Instead, he moved in first, and then opened all the doors and windows of Qiao Jiarong's room to let the smell diffuse in the room. After all, many things in this room were painted and it would be impossible without ventilation.

Qiao Tieniu didn't use his own room. Except for the plaster on the walls, everything else in his room was moved from the old house, so naturally it had no smell.

It wasn't until a month after the house was built that Qiao Jiarong moved into his room.

On the day of the move, it happened to be Sunday and it was the time to plant seedlings in the spring. All the adults in the village chief's family went to the fields, and only Qiao Xinxin and her children were at home.

So, Qiao Xinxin and her brothers and sisters also came over to help with the move.

When several girls saw Qiao Jiarong's room, they all said in unison: "It's so beautiful!"

Qiao Xinxin pulled Qiao Jiarong and screamed non-stop, shaking her and saying, "Xiaorong, your room is so beautiful. No, I will come over and sleep with you every Saturday night from now on."

As soon as she finished speaking, her eldest sister Qiao Meimei knocked her head and rejected her.

Qiao Meimei said to her: "Don't even think about it. Don't think that you can stop doing your homework by hiding here in Xiaorong. On Saturday, I went to sleep with you and happened to watch you do your homework."

"No, I don't want you to sleep with me. I don't want to occupy such a place alone and have to pressure me to finish all my homework." Qiao Xinxin covered her head and said.

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao, who was standing aside, said: "Xinxin, if you don't want Sister Jiarong to sleep with you, then let the second sister come to accompany you!"

"No, it's just right for you two eldest children to sleep in the same room. You can get off school together, do your homework and sleep together, and don't bother me."

"Then don't even think about sleeping here." Qiao Meimei and Qiao Jiaojiao replied together.

Qiao Xinxin replied angrily: "You are just jealous of my good relationship with Xiao Rong."

Qiao Meimei and Qiao Jiaojiao raised their eyebrows at the same time, and Qiao looked at her mischievously. They meant: She's just jealous, what can you do?

The conversation between the three sisters made everyone laugh.

After laughing, everyone helped Qiao Jiarong tidy up the bed and cabinet in the room, and put some things that were not needed temporarily into the cabinet.

Qiao Tieniu, who was standing outside, saw many empty cupboards and felt that Qiao Jiarong had too few clothes. He planned to go to the street to help his granddaughter buy more clothes for his granddaughter in two days when he was not busy. He would buy some clothes for all seasons.

And for quilts and stuff like that, I have to buy cotton and re-textile them.

Hmm! Play a few more beds, the weights vary. Summer quilts weigh two pounds, spring and autumn quilts four to six pounds, and winter quilts eight to ten pounds. Two beds of each kind. By then, these cabinets should be filled.

Bar!

Just when Qiao Tieniu was thinking about how to fill up Qiao Jiarong's wardrobe, Qiao Meimei and the others had already helped Qiao Jiarong arrange the things in the room.

Qiao Tieniu looked at the sky outside and felt that it was getting late and went to cook quickly.

Yesterday, he bought a lot of meat, both raw and cooked. The cooked ones were stewed vegetables bought at street snack shops, as well as dried pheasants and rabbits at home.

Coupled with various vegetables pulled from the ground, there were seven or eight dishes prepared at once. There were more dishes than people would prepare for a banquet, and the smell was so delicious that the children of the village chief's family almost salivated.

Qiao Tieniu looked at several children and saw that they all wanted to eat. He gave each of them a piece to taste, and then asked them to go to the fields to call the adults back for dinner.

Several older boys quickly volunteered and ran out to call for help.

The aroma of Qiao Tieniu's cooking meat wafted far away, just in time for Qiao Mei'er and Chen Jie, who were passing by to wash vegetables by the river, to smell it. The two of them couldn't help but look back at the newly built big house. They both thought Qiao Jiarong had left.

The family will not be having a good time.

Unexpectedly, not long after Qiao Jiarong left home, the one-armed old man built a big house for her to live in and cooked such delicious meat.

But soon, Qiao Meili woke up from the fragrance.

She pulled Chen Jie, who was still intoxicated, and quickly left the area of ​​Qiao Tieniu's new home. Then she found a deserted place by the river and said to her: "Don't look at the big house that Qiao Jiarong lives in now. Who knows if it is empty?"

, we are not envious."

"Yes, maybe that little bastard doesn't even have a decent bed in his room!

And this meat, I guess it was bought with the money that the old man borrowed! This is called a swollen face...a swollen face or something?" Chen Jie couldn't remember what to say next, so she turned around and asked

Joe is beautiful.

Qiao Meili continued, "You will have a swollen face and pretend to be fat. You will suffer the consequences if you want to save face."

"Yes, yes, you just want to save face and suffer the consequences."

After saying that, Chen Jie felt that she felt much better and was no longer as angry as before.

Qiao Meili also nodded, but that was not what she was thinking. Although she was only one year older than Chen Jie, she was already in elementary school. She knew some arithmetic. A big house like the one Qiao Jiarong lives in now is definitely not cheap.

Although she couldn't calculate how much it was, it was definitely more expensive than the house their family lived in now.

I heard her father Qiao Zezhi say that a house like theirs cost several hundred yuan. The five houses that Qiao Jiarong lives in now occupy an area larger than theirs, so the money to build the house must be more, at least as much as

Their family spends more money.

I heard that those who built the house for the one-armed old man said that the wages he paid were very high, more than ten yuan a day! I don’t know whether it is true or not?

But the things his family sprinkled when they went up to the beams were much better than those of the Taira family.

Not only were there steamed buns and rice cakes, but there were also several types of fruit candies. These were much more expensive than those steamed buns and the like. Calculating this, the old man was not as poor as they thought.

In this way, if Qiao Jiarong was adopted, wouldn't it make her want to be blessed? How could Qiao Meili be willing to do so.

But now, Qiao Jiarong has been adopted. It’s hard for her grandparents to take care of her anymore. How can they think of a way to make Qiao Jiarong’s life less difficult?

Qiao Meili couldn't think of it, so she had to wash the cabbage for lunch and go home with Chen Jie.

When it was time to eat, I saw Chen Jie giving each of them a piece of vegetables in order to please her grandparents. Then hearing them praise Chen Jie for her filial piety made Qiao Meimei's eyes light up.
