Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 159

Children's liking was simple and direct. They may like someone because they are smart or good-looking. They may not like someone because they farted or said a dirty word.

Da Qiao didn't have this kind of emotional experience when she was a child. So she found her sister's emotional changes interesting and amusing.

Although little Dong Yun didn't like the little boy anymore, the little boy came up to say hello when he saw little Dong Yun. He even gave little Dong Yun a handful of candies.

But because she didn't like him anymore, the candies became normal candies instead of sparkling candies.

Because they were worried that it would snow after dark, they went home directly after shopping.

As soon as they turned the corner, they found Qiao Dong Wan and little Mi Bao sitting at the entrance with schoolbags on their backs.

Qiao Xiu Zhi and the others were shocked and hurriedly quickened their pace.

"Dong Wan, why are you two here? Where are your parents?" Xue Chuan asked.

Before Qiao Dong Wan could answer, little Mi Bao chirped: "Grandfather, Grandmother, you are finally back. I was at wits' end when you didn't come back!"

I was at wits' end' was little Mi Bao's catchphrase. No matter what she did, she would add this sentence. Her temper was very much like her mom, Chu Sheng Mei- impatient.

Everyone couldn't help but be amused when they heard her words.

Qiao Dong Wan explained: "Grandfather, Grandmother, my parents don't have time to come here, so I brought Younger Sister here alone."

She didn't see Elder Sister for another semester and missed her. Even when she had to take Younger Sister by herself on such a long journey, she insisted on coming here.

Although Qiao Xiu Zhi was slightly displeased about letting the two children come here by themselves, she didn't nag at this time since she saw the two of them were fine.

She opened the door and urged, "Come in. Don't stand outside the door. Be careful of getting sick from the cold!"

Qiao Dong Wan didn't follow in straight away. Instead, she walked up to Elder Sister, took the thing she was carrying in her right hand, "Elder Sister, I'll help you carry it!"

Da Qiao looked at her with raised lips, "Okay. Thank you Dong Wan!"

So many younger brothers and sisters. When they were little, they were very attached to Da Qiao. Once they grew up, they would no longer be as attached to her as they were when they were little. Like Dong Lin and Yi Ming.

Only Qiao Dong Wan still clung to her like when she was a child. Even when thousands of miles away, she would definitely return to her side like a tireless migratory bird.

Da Qiao looked at Younger Sister who had reached her ear and felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring.

After entering the house, Da Qiao went to the kitchen to cook a pot of ginger soup for everyone. The weather outside was too cold. After going out for a trip, one had to drink a bowl of ginger soup to shake off the cold.

Qiao Dong Wan and the other younger siblings helped her. Everyone chatted and laughed. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After drinking the ginger soup and putting the things away, Qiao Xiu Zhi asked about Youngest Son.

Qiao Dong Wan leaned against Elder Sister with a warm water bottle in her hand, "My dad and Uncle Kang Bao have fallen out. They've been talking about the company's accounts for the past few days. Dad said he probably won't be able to make it back in time for the New Year!"

Anshun Company was established by Qiao Zhen Min, Chu Sheng Mei, and Wu Kang Bao. In middle of the that, a large sum of money was borrowed from the bank through Nanshan County Conquest and the bank.

Among the three, Qiao Zhen Min and Wu Kang Bao were responsible for running business and expanding the customers. Chu Sheng Mei wasn't in charge of any position in the company at the beginning. After she got together with Qiao Zhen Min, she took over the management of the company's accounts.

Because she knew some accounting skills, it was suitable for her to entrust this matter to her. Of course, Wu Kang Bao agreed to her management of accounts.

When there were no conflicts in the past, it was natural that there was nothing wrong with each other. Now under the instigation of Yao Xin Xin, Wu Kang Bao suddenly brought up re-checking the accounts.

To Qiao Zhen Min and Chu Sheng Mei, his behavior was doubting their character. Both of them were hurt when he suspected that they had tampered with the accounts.

Especially Qiao Zhen Min, who had been friends with Wu Kang Bao for so many years. He never thought that the two of them would have such a fight one day.

After such a move, they can't be friends anymore in the future!

But it was useless to get angry. Wu Kang Bao seemed to have his foot down and believed that the two of them were treacherous villains. He was determined to check all the accounts clearly.

Hearing this, Qiao Xiu Zhi sighed and remarked: "When it comes to profits, let alone friends, even siblings may fall out!"

So after the children grew up, she didn't let first branch continue to be attached to the second branch. It was for this reason, she told them to stand up on their own.

After hearing this, Da Qiao immediately thought of Huo Chi.

Huo Chi had set up a communication company with two other classmates a few months ago. Currently, everyone was full of energy and had the same goal. Just don't know if there will be troubles in the future?

Qiao Dong Wan noticed Elder Sister being in a daze. She put the warm water bottle in her hand and asked, "Elder Sister, what are you thinking?"

Da Qiao came back to her senses: "I was thinking about Elder Brother Huo Chi. Elder Brother Huo Chi started a company with his friends this year. I was wondering if I should remind him?"

Qiao Dong Wan let out an oh' and turned to look at her grandfather and grandmother.

Xue Chuan said: "You can remind him. But when the conflict hasn't occurred yet, reminding may not be very effective."

At the beginning of starting a business, it would be very difficult to do it alone especially for young people with no experience. Many people will find friends to start a business together. Some people would share the difficulties, others would share the risks.

Huo Chi was still young. So it was fine to cooperate with friends. When he gradually grows and becomes strong enough, it will not be too late for him to fly solo.

Because of the arrival of Qiao Dong Wan and little Mi Bao, the family became more and more lively.

The closer to the end of the new year, the busier second branch's shop became. Three employees were employed in the shop. Still, it wasn't enough.

Qiao Zhen Min and Lin Hui were running around nonstop. Both had dark circles under their eyes. But seeing the rising turnover, the two of them felt very energetic.

Da Qiao, Qiao Dong Wan, Dong Lin and other younger siblings would also take turns to help.

On this day, Da Qiao came to deliver lunch to her parents.

When she walked to the door, she heard Xiao Ying, who was in charge of the cashier, quarrel with a customer.

The guest seemed to dislike her for being too slow and delayed her going home for dinner. Xiao Ying rolled her eyes and told the other party that she should complain if she has the ability!

"But let me tell you, I'm lady boss of this store. This store belongs to my husband. So it's useless even if you complain!"

When Xiao Ying said this, the expression on her face was as proud as a peacock.

The customer was fuming: "Lady boss is so great? Having your attitude isn't acceptable in today's society. You think this is a supply and demand cooperative in the past. If you continue to behave like this, I will never come here to buy things again! "

"Don't buy then. Buying such a small amount of things, you still have the nerve to yell. Our store business is so good that we don't lack a stingy customer like you!"

As she said that, she was about to throw back the guest's money. At this moment, a hand stretched out and grabbed her wrist. The strength of the grasp could almost crush her hand.

Xiao Ying was about to break into scolding. But when she looked up and saw Da Qiao's indifferent face. Her face immediately turned pale: "Da..."

Da Qiao interrupted her and stated in a cold voice: "Why don't I know that I have an additional mom who is only six years older than me? Also, when did you marry my dad?"

Xiao Ying's face turned white and red.

The customer looked at Da Qiao, then at Xiao Ying. It dawned on her: "So, she isn't the lady boss of this shop?"

Da Qiao swung Xiao Ying's hand away and replied, "No, this store is run by my family. She is just an employee we hired. My mom is a very kind and beautiful woman. She never uses that kind of attitude to treat customers. It's our fault that you have such an unpleasant experience in our store. Your shopping is free of charge today as our apology and compensation to you!"

The customer was furious just now. Not only did she swear in her heart that she would never come to this store to buy anything again, but also publicize it to her relatives, friends and neighbors. Tell them to not come here to buy anything.

Unexpectedly, this girl appeared. Not only did she tell her that the cashier had tricked her, but also gave her a free bill!

Her dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace like bubbles in the sun!

The guest praised Da Qiao a bit, spat on Xiao Ying, packed up her things, and left.

Only then did Xiao Ying regain her voice. She spoke in a trembling voice, "Da Qiao, I...I know I was wrong. Can you not tell Elder Sister Hui and Elder Brother Zhen Min about this?"

Da Qiao refused straight away: "No!"

If she was simply rude to the guests and was willing to change her ways, she would give the other party a chance. But she fabricated her identity to the guests. This seriously damaged the reputation of her parents!

If stranger hear it, they think that her dad was raising another woman outside, or that her mom was an arrogant and rude woman. With her attitude, the store might be ruined by her one day!

So Xiao Ying can't stay no matter what!

Xiao Ying's eyes were as red as a rabbit's and tears fell down.

It was a pity that Da Qiao had never been a soft-hearted person. She didn't give Xiao Ying another glance and turned to go to the stockroom inside.

Walking to the door of the stockroom, she happened to see her dad massaging her mom's calf: "Hui Hui, your skin is so good. It's the same as when you were young."

Lin Hui's cheeks were slightly red. She raised her hand to push him and said, "Stop talking. It's embarrassing. Enough, don't massage it. It will be bad when someone comes in and sees it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Da Qiao standing at the door. Her face flushed red in an instant.

Qiao Zhen Jun turned his head and saw his daughter. He found it quite awkward: "You're here. Why have you been walking more and more silently recently?"

When Da Qiao heard this, she gave a mini eye roll. Really, Dad? It was clearly him who was embarrassed. Instead, he turned it around and blame her.

Lin Hui couldn't stand seeing her husband wronging her daughter. She stretched out her hand and whacked him. Afterward, she walked over to take the lunch box brought by Da Qiao, "It's so cold outside. Didn't I tell you that you don't have to bring food here? It's the same for us to eat outside."

Da Qiao shook her head and softly replied, "Mom, don't worry about me. I'm not afraid of the cold."

It was probably because of consuming jade bead water all year round. She wasn't afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter. Just like what Cai Ru Nan said, her body seem to automatically adjust the temperature.

Lin Hui still felt distressed for her daughter and babbled on about it.

Da Qiao waited for them to finish their meal before telling them what happened just now.

After Lin Hui heard this, her face flushed with anger: "Simply unreasonable! When she came to apply for the job, she said that her family was very poor and she wanted to earn money to treat her dad's illness. I thought she was filial, so I accepted her. Never thought she is such a person!"

Qiao Zhen Jun felt like he was fed a mouthful of flies. Completely disgusted: "This person can't stay. Let her go today!"

She even dared to tarnish his and Lin Hui's reputations. Fortunately, she was caught by Da Qiao. If a misunderstanding took root, he wouldn't be able to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

Lin Hui settled Xiao Ying's salary and let her go that day.

Xiao Ying cried to the point of having snot and tears all over her face. But no one sympathized with her. In the end, she could only sobbingly leave.

Because the New Year was approaching, it wasn't easy to find another person. So Da Qiao came over to act as the cashier. Two days later, Qiao Dong Wan also came to help.

Since Da Qiao came to work as a cashier, the business in the store improved. There was an endless stream of customers. So prosperous that it made people jealous.

A few men saw Da Qiao's beauty and used the opportunity of buying things to drop by often. They chatted a bit with her from time to time. After a few days, they asked Da Qiao out.

But they were all rejected by Da Qiao. Da Qiao directly told them that she was engaged.

Although those men felt it was a pity after hearing this, they didn't bother too much.

On this day, a young man came to the store. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His skin was tanned to a wheat color. He looked very sunny and healthy.

After he came in, he quickly selected the things he wanted to buy and took them to the cashier to check out.

After paying the bill, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he frowned and pointed out: "You miscalculated!"

Qiao Dong Wan subconsciously denied, "Impossible!"

Her arithmetic and mental arithmetic were above the average person. She never made mistakes in her arithmetic.

The boy said: "Count again!"

Fine, count it again!

Qiao Dong Wan was very confident in her mental arithmetic. Soon, she was slapped in the face.

She really miscalculated. She made a low-level mistake!

Qiao Dong Wan blushed and took out the difference: "I'm sorry, I miscalculated!"

The boy accepted the money, picked up his own things, and said, "It's okay."

He left after speaking.

At first she thought it was just a one time accident. However, the boy came again the next day!

When Qiao Dong Wan saw the boy, she remembered what happened yesterday. Because she was afraid of losing face by making a wrong calculation again, her face was tense.

After finishing the calculation, the boy looked at her. His mouth twitched: "Today's calculation is correct."

Qiao Dong Wan felt that he was mocking her. She gave him a pointed look and gave him six yuan and eighty cents back.

The boy took the money and left with his things.

In the next few days, the boy came over often. Every time, it was when Qiao Dong Wan came over to be the cashier.

It was just that the two didn't communicate too much. The boy only stopped coming after the door closed on New Year's Eve.

With the sound of firecrackers, the new year arrived again.

Huo Family still came to Qiao's house like the previous years.

Last year's New Year's Eve, Zhong Kang De proposed to Dai Shu Fang in Qiao's yard. It became a wonderful marriage.

This New Year's Eve, the couple actually had good news again!
