Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 101

Xue Chuan was married into Qiao Family.

With his identity, if he hadn't been married into Qiao Family back then, he can forget about having a wife. Maybe he would have been labelled as a wicked ones and kicked to the farm.

His father-in-law had once rescued an red army, during the most serious years of criticism. Qiao Family almost couldn't keep him. So after they got married, his wife wanted to give one or two of their children his surname, but he rejected.

Following his surname meant inheriting ancestors' identity as landlords; which wasn't good for the future of the child. If one day they were on their back again, the child may be labelled as wicked ones and get dragged to the farm.

So when he heard his second son, Qiao Zhen Jun proposed to change the surname of his youngest grandson, Qiao An Xu to Xue, his eyes became moist after the shock fade away.

It wasn't that he didn't care about it all these years.

When his mother died, she held his hand and told him to leave a descendant to Xue Family no matter what. But the situation forced him to dare not think about it, let alone act without authorization.

Now the situation was getting better day by day. However, everyone accepted that they were the descendants of Qiao Family. If he mentioned it at this time, it seem that he was dissatisfied with his wife.

Seeing her husband's moved reaction, Qiao Xiu Zhi couldn't help but blame herself.

After so many years and the events around her happening one after another, she forgot about this matter. Originally, this matter should had been brought up by her.

Xue Chuan felt his wife's gaze. He reached out and grasped her hand; expressing that he never blamed her. For so many years, them husband and wife had been one. If he wanted, how could she disallow it?

Da Qiao walked over and leaned toward her grandfather and spoke, "Grandfather, how about I change my surname to Xue too."

She never knew that a surname could make her grandfather so touched.

Before Xue Chuan could answer, An Ping scratched his head and said, "Younger Sister Da Qiao, if you change your surname to Xue, we'll call you Da Xue, Younger Sister Da Xue, and Elder Sister Da Xue in the future. Hahaha, it's so terrible!"

Da Xue? ?

Big boots? ?

When everyone heard this name, they couldn't help but twitched their mouths.

Although An Ping's laugh was asking a beating, Da Qiao was indeed more pleasant. What's more, everyone was used to this name.

An Ping was wildly laughing when suddenly a small black meatball rushed over, jumped up, and punched him on the thigh: "You are not allowed to bully my elder sister!"

An Ping: ? ? ?

Immediately afterwards, two fair dumplings rushed over. Each of them gave An Ping a punch: "You aren't allowed to bully my elder sister!"

An Ping QaQ: Who was bullying who now? He just said one sentence and got beaten three times. Although his body didn't hurt, his heart hurt!

An Ping stared down at little Dong Yun who hit him first and said, "Little Dong Yun, you can actually take a strike!? Aren't you my biological younger sister?"

Little Dong Yun snorted from her nostrils and responded in her sweet voice, "I felt Jie Jie, Xu Xu, and I are triplets. I should be Elder Sister Da Qiao's younger sister. Look, us four siblings look exactly the same. But you all say I'm the child of your first branch. I feel put on the spot, okay?"

Everyone: "..."

An Ping felt that his little sister was not only ugly, but now even her eyes weren't good.

With her black as coal skin, how did she get the confidence to say that she look exactly the same as Younger Sister Da Qiao and her siblings?

Xue Chuan was amused by the children. He reached out and rubbed Da Qiao's head, "No need. You have already gone to school. It's very troublesome to change your surname now. So one is enough."

If a child who had already gone to school wanted to change their surname, one had to go to the school to go through the formalities. Especially in Qiao Dong He, who was taking the college entrance examination. If she changes her surname, it means that her college entrance examination is invalid.

Therefore, the surname matter was settled. The youngest twin, Qiao An Xu, was changed to Xue An Xu.

Little dumpling had no objection about his surname being changed, because he didn't understand the difference between the two surnames at all. He only understood that his name was still Xu Xu.

Everyone was very happy, except for Wan Chun Ju. She didn't dare to show it in front of everyone though.

When it was time to go to bed, she nudged her man to keep him awake: "Zhen Guo, why do you think old Second suddenly offered to change the child's surname?"

Old Second Qiao's character can't let a sullen fart even when poke with ten sticks. It would be better if someone else brought up the matter of changing the surname. But with him, it seem a bit strange.

Qiao Zhen Guo yawned and replied, "What's so weird? My dad also needs to have a descendant with his surname!"

Wan Chun Ju felt that this matter was definitely not that simple: "Zhen Guo, do you think it was Dad and Mom who said something to old Second? For example, after changing the surname, Dad's asset will be left to old Second's child."

Qiao Zhen Guo sighed and said, "Even if it is, it's what old Second deserves. It's all your fault. If you can have twins, then I can get our son to change his surname."

Wan Chun Ju was pissed off: "..."

Having a children wasn't her business alone, so why was it her fault?

"Zhen Guo, how about we change Yun Yun's surname to Xue?" After thinking about it, she still felt that old Second couldn't be the only one to benefit.

Long after the words came out, the person beside her gave no respond.

She pushed him again: "Zhen Guo, Zhen Guo, did you hear what I said?"

"Zzz ...zzz"

Qiao Zhen Guo had already gone to dreamland. His snoring was very rhythmic; one high and one low.

Wan Chun Ju was burning!

Once Qiao Family changing one twin's surname matter got out, it sent the villagers into discussion. Soon, they accepted it.

In addition to changing one twin's surname, Lin Hui also took the opportunity to change the surname of eldest son, Dong Lin; officially making him surnamed Qiao.

When she first got married, she didn't change her son's surname, because she was afraid that some people would think that she wanted her son to take advantage of Qiao Family. After all, at that time, Qiao Family only had one grandson, An Ping.

But things were different now. She gave birth to two sons for Qiao Family and had been married to Qiao Zhen Jun for almost five years. Not only Qiao Family, but also the villagers in the production team had witnessed her behavior.

At this time changing her son's surname won't provoke any snarky comment. It would also give Dong Lin a sense of belonging.

It was certainly like that. When Dong Lin knew that he had changed his surname to Qiao, he was excited despite not say anything on the surface.

It was okay when he was young and ignorant. But as he grew up, he realized that he wasn't a member of Qiao Family. Although his dad and elder sister treated him as family, he still felt insecure on the inside.

It was different now. After changing his surname, he was a member of Qiao Family.

When Da Qiao saw her younger brother staring at the household registration book with bright eyes, she reached out and patted his head, "You must study hard in the future. Can't ruin the reputation of our Qiao Family."

Hearing this, Dong Lin immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant.

He and Elder Brother An Ping belong to the same category - neither of them liked to study.

Every time he see the dense words in the textbook, he felt his head and eyes ached. There were discomfort all over his body.

Seeing Younger Brother's reaction, how could Da Qiao not understand: "Say, you were very good at learning when you were young. Every time I came back, you latched on me to teach you how to count. How did you become so uncute now you grew up?"

Dong Lin scratched his head and replied, "Elder Sister, I don't like studying, but I'm still your good younger brother!"

Hearing this, Da Qiao chuckled as she recalled how he and Younger Brother Yi Ming fought for favor when they were small.

She remembered that Younger Brother Yi Ming and Third Aunt had been with the army for more than four years. Although he often wrote letters and sent photos back, it wasn't the same as seeing the real person.

She really missed them.

Also Elder Brother Huo Chi. Wonder what he looked like?

The atmosphere outside was really getting more and more relaxed. In the production team, every household was no longer limited to raising only one chicken. Now they can raise more chickens without any one governing. Of course, it wasn't alright to run a chicken farm.

Though the people in town hadn't been encouraged to start their own businesses, the suppression of the black market wasn't as severe as before. If they were accidentally caught, they won't be locked up and criticized again. At most, the items were confiscated.

Under such circumstances, many people with a keen wits sensed different business opportunities. Qiao Zhen Min was one of them.

During the New Year holiday, Qiao Zhen Min told his parents about the situation: "Dad, Mom, if things go on like this, I think in a year or two, we should be able to do business on our own!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi said, "So, what do you think we should do?"

Although Qiao Xiu Zhi had lived in the countryside all her life, her vision was always higher than that of ordinary rural women. She didn't think it was nonsense when her youngest son analyzed things for them.

Seeing that his mom didn't reprimand him and was interested, Qiao Zhen Min became more energetic: "Mom, I think once the country wants to vigorously develop the economy, the big cities will develop first. The more developed the transportation, the more better the development! Production teams like us will be very far behind."

Xue Chuan spoke: "You want to go to the big city to develop?"

Qiao Zhen Min shook his head: "The big city is good, but we have no relatives there. What's more, the funds aren't enough. I think it is better to take advantage of the current undeveloped state. Should we go to the town to buy one or two more houses? "

Of course, it was best to go to a big city for development, but the current policy was still unclear. Nor was the fund in hand enough. The most important thing was that he had a family. If he didn't have a daughter, he can go to the big city alone and broaden his horizon. But he had a daughter. So he was destined to not leave too far.

Although they can't go to big cities, they can go to towns or county. Once the economy develops, these two places will develop first. In short, they can't keep staying in the countryside.

Xue Chuan stated: "The tree moves, it dies. People move, they're alive. SO what old Fifth says makes sense."

Seeing that her husband agreed with Youngest Son, Qiao Xiu Zhi nodded and said, "Let's go to the town and have a look. If there's suitable house, we will buy it."

Qiao Zhen Min didn't expect his parents to be so easily persuaded. He was overwhelmed with emotions.

This was due to his parents' open-mindedness. If it were someone else's family, it would definitely not be so easy.

When she went to town to give New Year's greetings to Shen Family, Qiao Xiu Zhi told Shen Family she wanted to buy property in town and requested them to help keep an eye out.

Naturally, Shen Family displayed no objection. Instead, they fully agreed with their approach.

After Qiao Family left, Shen Shi Kai spoke to his wife, Qin Xiao Mei: "I have received rumors that the country will have big movement this year. This is good for the country and the people! Qiao Family is not simple. I have a feeling, our Shen Family may not be able to compare to their Qiao Family in the future!"

Qin Xiao Mei pondered after listening: "Since this is the case, let's buy a few more houses in the town?"

Since Qiao Family was that great and got such wonderful luck, then she'll follow their path. In the future, when they eat meat, she will get to drink meat broth with them.

Shen Shi Kai laughed: "Your mind spins fast. That's right. Later, we'll buy a few more houses in town!"

Buying a house wasn't something that can be done overnight. Since everyone already had this intention, they will pay attention. While they were at it, it would be faster to get relatives and friends to help pay attention than to finding it on their own.

After the Lantern Festival, schools started one after another.

Qiao Dong Ying ascended to second year of high school. An Ping to the first year. Da Qiao was second year of primary and Dong Lin was in the fourth grade. The younger ones weren't old enough to attend school.

Half a month after the school started, the production team received five notices. One of which belonged to Qiao Family!

A total of twenty-five educated youths in the production team took the college entrance examination, but only four of them were admitted. Lin Hui's fifth sister-in-law wasn't one of them. While Da Zhi did.

She was admitted to a technical school. Although it wasn't a university, a technical school was still very valuable in this era.

Da Zhi took the notice and packed up. She was about to go back to her maternal home.

After catching wind of it, favus-riddled Gou Sheng hurriedly held his little daughter in one hand and his son in the other to stop her.

"Mom, Mom, hug me." As soon as their daughter, Liu Xiao Ying see Da Zhi, she immediately reached out her hands to her to get a hug from her.

Children were indeed the least vengeful.

Da Zhi didn't act like a mother to the two children. She beat and scolded them every so often. Still, in the hearts of the children, she was their mother.

Favus-riddled Gou Sheng wanted to put his little daughter into Da Zhi's arms as he hoped that she wouldn't just leave for the sake of little daughter.

Da Zhi was so annoying that she pushed her away without even looking at her daughter.

In the past, she didn't like these two children. Now that she was admitted to a technical school, how can she let them block her steps?

She really wished that these two evil obstacles to never appear in this world. They were her shame!

With this kind of heart in her mind, she didn't worry about hurting the child at all. Her fingernails scratched the child's delicate face. Blood spilled at once.

The little girl burst into tears with a wail: "It hurts... Dad, it hurts..."

At the sight of the little girl's bleeding face, favus-riddled Gou Sheng instantly became enraged: "I never tell you off when you usually don't care about the children. But what are you doing now? Isn't Xiao Ying your daughter?"

Da Zhi glared at him and scolded: "Pah! If you hadn't forced me, do you think I wanted to give birth to them? I'm telling you, I'm going back to the provincial city. Don't come and find me!"

Anger reddened favus-riddled Gou Sheng's eyes as blue veins appeared on his forehead.

Seeing him like this, Da Zhi thought he was going to hit her. She backed away in fright.

But before favus-riddled Gou Sheng made any move, Liu Xiao Hu rushed up and punched and kicked at Da Zhi: "Bad woman, you bad woman. I'll beat you!"

Although Liu Xiao Hu was young, the little boy had a lot of strength. He usually helped out at home with the housework. So his hits made Da Zhi cry out in pain.

"Damn brat!" Da Zhi flared up and pushed Liu Xiao Hu away.

No matter how weak Da Zhi was, she was still an adult. With this push, Liu Xiao Hu was thrown to the ground and the back of his head happened to bang against a stone.

"Elder Brother, Elder Brother is bleeding..." Liu Xiao Ying sobbed even louder when she saw her elder brother being pushed down.

Favus-riddled Gou Sheng can't endure it anymore!

He put his little daughter on the ground, rushed up, and slapped Da Zhi twice. Then he had Da Zhi pushed down on the ground for a round of punching and kicking.

Favus-riddled Gou Zhu was an adult man. He worked in the fields all the year round. His punches and kicks were very different from Liu Xiao Hu's.

Da Zhi was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back. She curled up on the ground and let out screams from her mouth: "Help...Murder..."

Favus-riddled Gou Sheng had been endured for too long. With this outbreak, his eyes went blind with rage: "You poisonous woman. It's enough that you normally beat me and scold me. But Xiao Hu and Xiao Ying are your children. They are still so young. You actually strike them. I will beat you to death!"

"Help me... I was wrong... Don't hit me... Xiao Hu, come and save Mom..."

Da Zhi had been arrogant all these years; often pointing at favus-riddled Gou Sheng's nose and scolding him for being a coward. Never thought the cowardly man would go crazy. It was completely beyond her imagination.

Da Zhi rolled around in pain, Liu Xiao Hu heard her cry. His precocious eyes stared at her coldly. He didn't step up to stop.

The villagers heard the noise and ran out. Seeing the scene, they rushed to stop it.

"Gou Sheng, quickly stop! If you keep beating, a life will be endangered!"

Favus-riddled Gou Sheng already lost his mind during the beating and had no care. Currently, it was women who came out to persuade him. They couldn't stop him at the moment.

"Gou Sheng, if you don't stop, she will die. If you two die together, what will Xiao Hu and Xiao Ying do?"

Although everyone didn't like Da Zhi, they couldn't just watch Gou Sheng beat her to death.

Hearing the latter half, Gou Sheng halted.

He lowered his arms. Despair and frustration filled his face.

Qiao Zhen Guo was going to the production team office to get his daughter's admission notice when he was suddenly hugged by both hands as he passed by.

Da Zhi hugged Qiao Zhen Guo's feet tightly and pleaded for help, "Elder Brother Qiao, save me!"

Qiao Zhen GGuo: ? ? ?

Crowd: ? ? ?

Favus-riddled Gou Xheng had already stopped beating. Now he heard Da Zhi's words, he immediately raised his head. A pair of red eyes swept between the two of them.

The others also seemed to smell the ambiguous gossip. Their eyes were fixed on Qiao Zhen Guo.

Although Da Zhi's appearance wasn't as good as before and she had given birth to two children, she seldom went to the field. So objectively speaking, she was still very charming. Compared with his wife Wan pig-slaughterer, she can be said to be a fairy descending to earth.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder if Qiao Zhen Guo had an affair with Da Zhi.

Qiao Zhen Guo pulled his leg out with force. He looked at her and said, "Who are you?"

Those three words instantly made Da Zhi want to die!

Some people thought that Qiao Zhen Guo was pretending, so they reminded him: "Eldest Qiao, don't you know her? She is a female educated youth in the production team. Gou Sheng's wife. After so many years, you must have seen her, right?"

Qiao Zhen Guo pondered for a while before erupting into laughter: "Oh, you are that miss blacksmith. The one who slipped and faceplanted the ground? Hahaha, how did you become so ugly? I didn't recognize you!"

Da Zhi: "..."

She had a mouthful of blood blocked in her chest. It couldn't go up or go down. She almost died of anger!

Her brain must had entered the water. Hadn't she been humiliated enough back then?

Seeing Qiao Zhen Guo's reaction, everyone felt that it was impossible to have any ambiguous gossip.

Soon Wang Shui Sheng came over with other cadres and brought favus-riddled Gou Sheng and Da Zhi to the office together.

Everyone's attention fell on the notice in Qiao Zhen Guo's hand.

"Eldest Qiao, are you holding a notice? Could it be that your Dong He had passed the exam?"

Qiao Zhen Guo flushed with joy: "My Dong He got admitted to the capital's teacher college. My Dong He's brain is like mine. It's easy to use!"

Everyone: "..."

Thankfully, Qiao Dong He's brain wasn't like yours. Otherwise, forget about teacher college, she might not even get admitted to technical school.

After all, they were in the same production team for four or five years. He can't even remember the appearance of the other party. Want to study with such a brain? Dream on.

Qiao Family was amazing though. It was enough that there were so many amazing relatives. Now, there was actually a college student!

Everyone was immediately envious.

While congratulating Qiao Zhen Guo, everyone thought to themselves. Qiao Dong He was now seventeen years old. Should they call a matchmaker over before she goes to college and bag her as a wife for their son?

If it is successful, the college student will become their family. After graduation, the money she make will also belong to their family!

If Wan Chun Ju knew what everyone was thinking, she would definitely spray her saliva on their faces. Wanting to eat sh*t!

They worked so hard to cultivate a college student. As her mom, she hadn't gotten any benefit yet and they want to pluck the ripe peach. Keep dreaming!

Soon all of Qiao Family knew that Qiao Dong He was admitted to the college. They were over the moon.

Wan Chun Ju didn't believe it at first. She took the notice and flipped it over and over to make sense of it. She didn't understand any of the big characters on it. Still, it didn't prevent her from joining in the fun.

"My god, I knew that Dong He would definitely be admitted! Dong He has a brain like me. Such a smart brain will definitely be admitted to college!"

Qiao Zhen Guo: "Wife, it's fortunate that Dong He isn't like you, or else she can only go to the pigsty to roll in pig poo!"

Wan Chun Ju was irked: "..."

Qiao Dong He held the notice. Her eyes were red with joy.

Did she really pass the exam?

Was she a college student?

Da Qiao rushed over and hugged her elder cousin sister, "Elder Cousin Sister, you are really amazing. You are a college student!"

Qiao Dong He asked Da Qiao to pinch her. Da Qiao did as she was told. Only when pain transmitted from her face did she know that it wasn't a dream!

She really got into college! !

That night, Qiao Family cooked up a feast to celebrate with Qiao Dong He. The production team also brought a lot of good things over to congratulate Qiao Family.

Others gently mentioned that they want to be in-laws with Qiao Family. However, Qiao Xiu Zhi bluntly rejected them.

While good things happened one after another in Qiao Family, the atmosphere in Huo Family wasn't so harmonious.

A few days later, Huo Chi, who had been separated for five years, suddenly dropped by the production team.
