There were several tables set up in the courtyard, and almost everyone from the village came.

Meng Liu's friends from the educated youth center and colleagues from the school were not absent either.

She was wearing a red dress today, which was made by Grandma Qiao. It was in the style of a doll's shirt. Meng Liu's belly was already very big now, with a high bulge in her lower abdomen, but her face was not fat, and her pointed chin was still so beautiful.

Qiao Xingchen had always wanted to arrange a wedding for her, and his wish could be regarded as a success.

Since Meng Liu came back from Shanghai, he has been busy building a house every day and has rarely had the opportunity to communicate with Yue Heng.

At a wedding banquet, the food he ate did not taste good, and he was a little upset.

When the groom brought the bride over, Yue Heng had already calmed down and sincerely sent his blessings.

Qiao Xingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Until now, he still felt that Yue Heng had strange thoughts about Meng Liu.

This is a man's intuition.

*

In ten months of pregnancy, the melon will ripen and fall off.

Meng Liu gave birth to the world's first child at the county hospital, four children, two boys and two girls.

The corners of Qiao Xingchenle's mouth never dropped.

It was difficult to take care of four children, so Grandma Qiao simply found a poor widow in the village to help take care of the children. With her and Qiao Xiaohua assisting, it was barely enough.

Meng Liu was worried that Qiao Xiaohua was seven years old and should go to school, so she mentioned it to Qiao Xingchen in private.

When Qiao Xingchen talked to Qiao's mother and Qiao's father, it was no surprise that she was not allowed to go to school. Elementary school costs money these days, five yuan a semester. For Qiao Xingchen and Meng Liu, this is Counting money is a drop in the bucket.

But for other families, it’s still a lot.

Qiao Xingchen didn't care about other things, but he made up his mind to let Qiao's parents pay for this matter. Qiao Xiaohua was their child, and parents should take responsibility.

The reason why Qiao's mother is confident is that she thinks that he, as an elder brother, is good to her sister. Even if they don't contribute money, Qiao Xingchen can't stand it.

Grandma Qiao knew about this, so she came to the door and scolded Dad Qiao.

But Qiao's father also thinks that Qiao's mother is right. If he thought his wife was a little too much towards Qiao Xingchen before, it's because he is a boy. Qiao Xiaohua comes from a girl's family. What's the use of studying?

Grandma Qiao went there several times but it didn't work. She simply said: "Without you as parents, what about girls? Those who haven't gone to school can only work in the fields like you. Those who have gone to school can go to factories or become teachers." , don’t you know which one is better?”

Dad Qiao also knows this truth, but when his two sons grow up and are about to get married, the money he has is really not enough.

Qiao's mother said directly: "Mom, what you said is wrong. If we had the conditions, how could we not let Xiaohua go to school? Her two brothers are about to get married. Her father and I are really powerless. Anyway, Xiaohua has a relationship with her brother. Okay, how about letting Xingchen support her in school? Five dollars is nothing to Xingchen, right?"

Grandma Qiao was trembling with anger: "Is it your child or Xingchen's child? His kindness to Xiao Hua is out of affection, not duty!"

Qiao's mother: "Don't care whose child she is, Xingchen has prepared a special room for her. If you are willing, you can just take her back and raise her as your daughter."

"Are you talking humanly? It's not enough to drive the eldest son out, but now you have to drive the little girl out too?"

Qiao's mother curled her lips: "My daughter is a money loser. Sooner or later she will be thrown out. Isn't it stupid to spend money on her?"

Qiao Xingchen was really speechless about his parents and didn't know how someone like his grandfather could raise such a daughter.

Qiao Xiaohua had already dropped her golden beans and lowered her head so much that she wanted to crawl into the ground.

Meng Liu looked sad: "Okay, you don't want this girl. I want it. From now on, she will live with me and Qiao Xingchen. When she grows up, don't come looking for her!"

Dad Qiao didn't care, but Mom Qiao rolled her eyes: "That's not okay, I was the one who gave birth to her anyway..."

Meng Liu sneered: "Then what do you say before you agree?"

"I will marry as my daughter. Do you have to give me some dowry according to the rules?"

Meng Liu: "Then how much do you want?"

"200." After finishing speaking, Qiao's mother looked at her son's face nervously.

To her, the price was already very high. When Qiao Xingchen got married, she was given 200 yuan as a gift. There was no such high price in Qinghe Village.

Qiao Xingchen still wanted to argue with her, but Meng Liu took his hand in time and told him to shut up.

Qiao Xiaohua is still here. The biological parents sold their daughter. If they bargained for the price, what would happen? Don't let the child feel bad.

"Okay, 200, ask the village chief to come and establish a written record. Qiao Xiaohua will have nothing to do with you from now on."

Seeing her decisiveness in agreeing, Qiao's mother felt that her quotation was a bit low, but she couldn't go back on her word again.

Witnessed by the village chief, Qiao Xiaohua became the second person to break away from the Qiao family.

Meng Liu was afraid that Qiao's mother was up to something, so the next day he took the certificate issued by the village and moved Qiao Xiaohua's household registration to Qiao Xingchen's side, and also changed his name to Qiao Yueming.

They happened to correspond to Qiao Xingchen's name, so they looked like brother and sister.

After this incident, Qiao Yueming became more and more diligent at Qiao's house, getting up before dawn to cook and wash clothes. It was Meng Liu who talked with her several times before she stopped her flattering behavior.

As winter approaches, a notice announcing the resumption of the college entrance examination was published in the newspaper.

Almost all the educated youths were excited. In the entire Qinghe Village, those who had attended high school and those who had not attended high school were all immersed in review, and they were all motivated to take the college entrance examination.

In December, Meng Liu pushed Qiao Xingchen into the examination room.

Both of them are very confident. They have been preparing for this day for two years. It will be unreasonable if they fail to pass the exam again.

After the exam, Meng Liu and Qiao Xingchen privately reviewed their scores. Both of them had pretty good grades, so they probably could go to Fuzhou University.

In Qiao Xingchen's situation, it is not convenient to live in a dormitory at university. Although he can take care of most things by himself, there are always times when he needs help.

Moreover, we cannot let the children stay in Qinghe Village with Grandma Qiao and Qiao Mingyue. Neither Qiao Xingchen nor Meng Liu is worried.

They bring their families with them, and they must have a separate house when going to Shanghai.

So they both filled out the same application.

The admission notice was received quickly, and Meng Liu immediately wrote a letter to his parents.

After packing their luggage as quickly as possible, the two of them took the elderly and children at home and boarded the train to Shanghai.

The benefits of security doors are now revealed. It is their home. If they use ordinary wooden doors, there is no guarantee that the Qiao family will not occupy it after they leave, breaking bones and tendons. If Qiao's mother and Qiao's father take advantage of their absence, If we really want to move in, even the village chief can't say anything.
