Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

During this period, she described to people around her like Xianglin Sao how she met Fei Xiang in Beijing, telling how the half-Chinese, heroic singer performed hard, how the enthusiasm of the audience was aroused, and how she tried her best to squeeze into the first row and put a rose into Fei Xiang's arms and held his hand.

Sanli said sarcastically, "You haven't been willing to wash your hands for half a year, do you want to keep doing so?"

How can you never wash your hands for your whole life?

Qiao Simei's enthusiasm for Fei Xiang quietly cooled when the Little Tigers were popular.

Qiao Erqiang joked: "Oh, there are four male gods this time, you can slowly consider which one to marry."

The days passed by quietly in the daily trivialities, and Qiao Yicheng was still studying and doing odd jobs to make a living in Beijing.

The difference is that he started writing articles for newspapers and magazines, and became a special correspondent for a TV station, specializing in writing news articles. The income from this was relatively generous.

Seeing her second brother appear so handsomely in front of her, Sanli couldn't help but blush and her heart beat fast, and whispered: "Second brother, you are back."

Qiao Erqiang, who handed the tie to Yicheng, smiled at Sanli and said admiringly, "Oh, Sanli, you look so beautiful today. You are stunningly beautiful."

Hearing the compliments, Sanli couldn't help but feel shy, "No, no, you are kidding, second brother!"

Erqiang looked at the lively and lovely Qiao Simei and praised: "Aha, Xiao Si! You look like a cute little princess now. This skirt really suits you!"

Qiao Simei just responded foolishly: "Really! Really!" She didn't even realize that the man was her second brother. Her eyes were filled with heart-shaped stars as she stared at him intently.

It was like a dream - seeing him walk in front of her, kneel on one knee, and gently extend his hands to invite her: "Little Simei, our lovely princess, the banquet time has come, let's go together!"

Even after Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang hurried out to welcome the guests, Simei was still sleepwalking. Sanli called out many times:

"Simei! Let's go! What are you daydreaming about?"

Finally, Qiao Simei came to her senses and asked quickly, "Hey Sanli! Where's that handsome boy? Where did he go?"

Sanrong observed her expression and obviously didn't want her to notice her second brother, so she deliberately said, "Who is the handsome guy you mentioned? I really don't know! Stop daydreaming, come on, we have to go to the banquet hall to help!"

He also invited Qiqi, "Qiqi, come with us today."

Qiao Qiqi nodded and agreed. At this time, the four beauties noticed Qiao Qiqi, who seemed to be invisible, for the first time. Seeing his handsome appearance, they couldn't help but admire him: "Oh, Qiqi, you are really good-looking. It's just that you are still too young, not as handsome as that handsome guy just now!"

Seeing her hesitation, Sanrong pulled her and said impatiently, "Hurry up, don't waste time!"

After almost all the guests arrived, Qiao Yida was asked to find Wen Juhan.

Then Qiao Er came out to host the event, with a formal smile on his face, saying: "Hello, dear friends and relatives, I am Qiao Er. I am honored to be the host of this celebration today.

In this peaceful and harmonious era, with beautiful flowers and beautiful people, we welcome everyone to attend our banquet.

Our protagonists are the groom Qiao Yi and Ms. Wen Juhan. They are both representatives of beauty. What’s more proud is that they have both been admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University!

Today, we will enter another stage of life - the wedding contract.

This is simply one happy event after another!

Here I sincerely extend my warm congratulations and best wishes to the newlyweds. I would also like to express my special gratitude to the elders of both families, their relatives and friends who have worked hard to raise them, as well as the kind people who came to congratulate them! "

Afterwards, after Qiao's father and Wen's mother finished their speeches, it was Qiao Yi and Wen Juhan's turn to exchange engagement rings. The happy expressions on the faces of the newlyweds filled Er Qiao's heart with warmth, but also with a hidden sense of sadness and envy. This happiness was exactly what he had longed for but could not get in his previous life.

Here is a little anecdote: he once attended his first love’s wedding ceremony. Although he and his first love had not met or had frequent contact for ten years, for some reason, he still received a wedding announcement, so he booked a flight and went straight to the wedding.

His mood at that time was contradictory and complicated: he would feel regretful after participating, but he would feel something was missing if he didn't go.

Until he saw his first love in a wedding dress with a smile on her face, everything seemed strange and distant; a feeling of alienation, as if "this scene is no longer the same scene, this person is no longer the same person", filled his heart with a sense of loss and loneliness.

When the banquet was over, Qiao Er took out his camera and wanted to take some photos of them.

Various combination photos: Wen Juhan's family of three, photos of the two of them plus the Wen couple, photos of the newlyweds and Qiao's father, large family photos of both sides, and also photos of Qiao's brothers and sisters.

Strangely enough, when taking family photos, Sanrong always felt that there was a sense of distance between her and her second brother. This strange feeling made her hold her second brother's arm tightly.

Simei also leaned close to Qiao Er and raised a happy gesture to show her happiness.

The brothers and sisters of the Qiao family cherished these beautiful scenes very much. The difficult times in the past seemed to be a distant past...

Especially now, Person No. 1, who was extremely happy and satisfied, was so moved that his eyes became red. Even Sanrong, Simei and Qiqi beside him were infected with tears because of his emotional ups and downs.

Unable to bear the current atmosphere, Qiao Erqiang immediately shouted: "What do you want? Haven't you seen me cry? Do you have to see me cry to be happy?" As he spoke, he kept wiping away the tears that kept flowing out.

Yicheng, Sanli, Simei and Qiqi burst into laughter when they saw this.

Qiao Zuwang witnessed this scene, and it was unknown how he felt. He put away his ordinary smile and looked exceptionally quiet.

Sanli suddenly walked up to Qiao Zuwang, pulled him over, and suggested that the whole family take a photo together!

Hearing the words "family portrait" made Qiao Yicheng hesitate and seemed to think of his deceased mother. Qiao Erqiang patted his shoulder and shook his head gently, saying that today was a happy day and that Qiao Zuwang was his biological father after all.

After getting engaged, Qiao Yicheng went to the capital to pursue higher-level academic studies, accompanied by his girlfriend Wen Ju'an.

During this period, Qiao Erqiang used the money he earned from buying properties in first-tier cities to buy a number of real estate titles and even bought properties in the capital, transferring the ownership of a school district villa to Qiao Yicheng. This approach allows the couple to enjoy their own little nest outside the campus.

Privately, in order to help his brother Yicheng, Qiao Erqiang asked his sister Sanli to secretly put a passbook with 80,000 yuan in it into his brother's suitcase as living expenses for the next four years.

Yicheng arrived in the capital and was taken to the villa by Qiao Erqiang's staff. There he learned that his brother had given him the house as a gift and saw the message from Sanli along with the deposit book for the money.

Yicheng was not willing to accept such a gift and called home, but the calls were always picked up by Sanli and he never had any direct communication with Qiao Erqiang.

Yicheng returned the deposit and the property ownership documents, and chose to live in the dormitory instead of the villa. Despite this, Erqiang still followed his brother's wishes and did not bring up the matter again. All the expenses for the previous engagement party and the college entrance examination party were paid by Qiao Erqiang. It seems that Qiao Yicheng himself is not willing to accept too much effort from others, including Erqiang.

Although everyone emphasized that day that the funds came from the father, which was meant to show a father's relief and blessing to see his child become Jackie Chan, Qiao Yicheng actually knew where the expenses came from.

Yicheng could never get over this and promised to repay Erqiang for the party expenses in the future.

Regarding this matter, Qiao Erqiang expressed to his other brothers and sisters the concept that "we became a family because of fate."

In fact, Sanli took the junior high school graduation examination many days earlier than Wen Ju'an and was admitted to one of the top three high-quality high schools in Jincheng City with excellent results. At that time, Qiao Erqiang considered celebrating for her.

However, Sanli disagrees with her brother's idea and thinks that the whole family should just get together for dinner and be sure to invite their father.

Erqiang has also recently gradually adjusted his attitude and interacted with his father more positively. This may be because Sanli hopes for a more complete family atmosphere, so he is willing to tolerate his discomfort and dissatisfaction with Zuwang.

Sanli, who is approaching adulthood, begins to indulge in the secret and slightly sinful happiness between her and her second brother.

They took advantage of the opportunity to go out secretly when no one else was disturbing them and enjoy the food together; they fed each other affectionately, with their knees occasionally touching, which made people's hearts beat fast.

Whenever watching a movie, Sanli would hold her second brother's hand tightly in the dark, even though both of their palms were already covered in sweat.

The harmonious and warm relationship between her and her second brother is like two close little ants, gradually planning their small life in the future.

So Sanli learned to make weaving products and bought a lot of pure cotton yarns - pure white and slightly yellowish, and used them to make her own wedding supplies: such as curtains, table covers, coasters, and even soft towels for the sofa. At the same time, she kept all the money she used to support the family's expenses.

Sanli imagined that one day she would have enough reserves to allow her and her second brother to leave here and start a new life in a place where no one knew them.

This unknown future is like a warm and colorful light shining not far away, as if as long as we keep moving forward, maybe our dreams will come true soon.

During this period, Qiao Zuwang's residence added a new and valuable electrical appliance - a color TV.

In the early 90s, before the Spring Festival, Qiao Zuwang and his children suggested: "Now that conditions have improved, my family needs a real color TV anyway, not the false color black and white machine coated with transparent colored plastic.
