Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 63

Da Qiao came back from school this day. Her small palm-sized face was excited to the point her cheeks were flushing like two small apples.

While An Ping, who was walking behind her, had a big head drooping. He was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost. He couldn't be more wilted.

After walking a few steps, An Ping jogged and directed her a flattering smile, "Younger Sister Da Qiao, can I discuss something with you?"

Before Da Qiao could speak, Qiao Dong Ying slapped him on the head: "Shoo, shoo. Stop having ideas on Da Qiao. If you really want face, you should study hard. Time and time again, you get a duck egg test. You don't feel ashamed, but I do for you!"

An Ping wasn't angry when he was beaten by his elder sister. He reached out and touched his red forehead, "Second Elder Sister, how do you know what I'm going to say?"

Qiao Dong Ying rolled her eyes at him and replied, "As soon as you poke your bum out, I know what you want to fart!"

Da Qiao covered her mouth and couldn't help laugh.

The school held the mid-term exam the day before yesterday. The results were announced today. She got a double 100 percent test paper in both Chinese and Math.

Not only was she first place in the class, but also first place in the whole year. The teacher had praised her in front of everyone!

So happy!

She really wanted to go home and tell her grandparents immediately. They would be delighted when they find out!

Contrary to her, her elder cousin brother, who was one grade above her, brought back double duck egg test paper. It was said that he handed in a blank paper. The teacher saw the test paper and scolded on the spot!

Eldest Cousin Brother spoke out just now was definitely wanting to tell her to go back and not tell the adults about the midterm exam. That way he won't get scolded.

Sure enough, the next moment, An Ping continue stick his face out and said to Da Qiao: "Younger Sister Da Qiao, after you go back, don't tell Grandmother and Grandfather whether the mid-term exam was good or not. As long as you promise to Elder Cousin Brother, I will give you five candies!"

Da Qiao shook her head. The little tail on her head swayed: "No way."

An Ping gritted his teeth and displayed a painful look on his face: "Ten candies, no more. I only have so many!"

Da Qiao still shook her head and softly spoke, "Elder Cousin Brother, I promised Grandmother I'll bring back 100% in the test. So I can't promise you."

An Ping: Then what should he do?

When Qiao Dong Ying heard this response, she laughed happily.

Although her score wasn't good, she passed!

Huo Chi stood outside the pigsty with a shovel. He eyed the path on the right from time to time.

Dai Shu Fang noticed her son's abnormality early in the morning, and couldn't help but ask, "Chi'er, why do you keep looking over there. Are you waiting for someone?"

Huo Chi's face was slightly hot. He shook his head and replied, "No. I'm not waiting for anyone."

A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence.

Dai Shu Fang couldn't help be amused when she saw her son like this.

She had guessed who her son was waiting for, but she didn't say it.

Sure enough, after a while, Qiao Family's children walked over in chatter and laughter. She noticed that her son's eyes lighting up at once. That pair of eyes fell on the little girl in the middle.

She pursed her lips and smiled. Pretending she didn't know anything, she picked up the big rattan basket and headed toward the pigsty.

Neither of the two children were over ten years old. Of course, she never considered anything happening between them. Not to mention that their identities were so disparate.

She had thought about letting Chi'er not have too much contact with the little girl to avoid harming the other party.

But when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back down.

Over the years, Chi'er had been with them on the farm and had been helping with farm work since he was a few years old. He had never had any friends of the same age. Now it was rare for him to take the initiative to make friends with people. She really didn't want to say anything to spoil it.

Although Chi'er was young, he had a cautious personality. She believed that he will not let his actions cause harm to the little girl!

Huo Chi was relieved to see his mom go in. A pair of slender eyes fell on Da Qiao.

Of course, An Ping noticed again and rushed up in a fit of anger: "You stinky boy, have you forgotten what I warned you about last time?"

Both of them are nine years old. However, An Ping was well-fed. And Qiao Family's genes destined them to be all tall. So when he stood in front of Huo Chi, he was obviously half a head taller than him!

Huo Chi slapped his hand away and stated coldly: "If you dare to do it again, don't blame the shovel in my hand for not having eyes!"

An Ping looked at the shovel in his hand, which was still stained with smelly pig manure. Immediately, there was disdain: "You're cruel!"

He didn't have any weapons in his hand. If the other party really hit him with a shovel, it wouldn't be the normal terrible!

Da Qiao was worried that the two of them would fight. So she hurried over: "Elder Cousin Brother, Elder Brother Huo Chi, don't fight!"

An Ping's eyes were as big as lychee: "Younger Sister Da Qiao, what did you call him? You can't call him that. He's a wicked one!"

Huo Chi's face fell at once.

Da Qiao said softly, "Elder Cousin Brother, Grandmother had already said that wicked ones aren't all bad people. Elder Brother Huo Chi isn't a bad person. Don't say that."

When An Ping heard it was what his grandmother said, he scratched his head, "Then you can't play with him either. If you are seen, maybe you will be reported!"

Da Qiao knew that her elder cousin brother said this because he cared about her. So she pursed her lips and responded softly: "I know. I won't let anyone see it. Elder Cousin Brother, don't worry."

An Ping was a big-hearted person. Seeing that Da Qiao said so herself, he shut up.

Like An Ping, Qiao Dong He was a little worried that Da Qiao would be seen with wicked ones. But before she could speak, she was pulled away by her younger sister, Qiao Dong Ying.

"Why did you pull me away just now?" Qiao Dong He asked with a puzzled face.

Qiao Dong Ying spoke: "Elder Sister, since Grandmother said that they aren't bad people, then you don't have to worry too much. Younger Sister Da Qiao is already seven years old. You have to let her learn to get along with people by herself, even if the other party is a bad person, Have to let her learn how to tell the difference, right?"

Her sister had a gentle and delicate temperament. Good at everything, but she liked to excessively worry.

Sometimes she felt her elder sister was like an old hen who protects her chicks. She had endless worries all day long!

Qiao Dong He considered this for a moment before nodding, "You're right. But we still have to observe that kid later. Lest Younger Sister Da Qiao suffer and we don't even know!"

So what she said before was all in vain?

Qiao Dong Ying rolled her eyes, licked her teeth and said, "Elder Sister, if you really can't stay idle, why don't you worry about our stupid younger brother!"

Sure enough, Qiao Dong He's attention was immediately diverted.

Da Qiao saw that her cousins had walked away and apologized softly: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, my elder cousin brother has no malicious intentions. Don't take it to heart!"

Huo Chi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Da Qiao thought he was angry. She lowered her head and took out an egg from her schoolbag, "This is today's egg. For you!"

Huo Chi's gaze fell on the books in her schoolbag. A flash of longing appeared in his eyes.

Those books were things that wicked ones like him can't touch. Forget about even going to school!

Da Qiao noticed his keen gaze. She tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, do you want to study?"

Huo Chi pursed his lips and was silent for a while. In the end, he still nodded: "Want!"

Although his grandfather and mother secretly taught him a lot of words and all kinds of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in mathematics in private, it was still completely different from studying in the school system. Plus they didn't have textbooks. So the study was very scattered .

Da Qiao contemplated a bit. She blinked her long eyelashes and said, "Then I'll go back and copy the textbook for you."

If she directly buy the textbook for Elder Brother Huo Chi, it may cause a lot of trouble if they get caught. However, copying by hand will be less eye-catching.

Huo Chi didn't want to trouble her again and again, but he really wanted to have a book of his own: "Thank you!"

When Da Qiao saw that he was finally no longer angry, she curled her lips and smiled: "You're welcome. Take the egg. By the way, is your grandfather in good health?"

Huo Chi nodded: "He's much better. Grandfather asked me to thank you!"

His grandfather had a bad cough before. After eating the food she gave, the cough actually got better day by day. His complexion looked much better than before.

"That's great!" Da Qiao said with a sigh of relief.

Originally, she considered thinking of a way to smuggle the jade bead for the other party to use if his grandfather wasn't in good health.

But this method was a bit risky. She was worried that the existence of jade beads getting discovered.

In addition, they were wicked ones. If their health was too good, it might not be a good thing.

Because everyone might think that they were just eating and drinking and not working. This can harm them instead!

Huo Chi saw her pursed lips and smiled. Two small dimples appeared by the corners of his mouth. It tempt people to reach out and poke it: "Wait a minute, I'll give you something."

As he said that, he put down the shovel and ran back to the house. After a while, he ran out again. This time, his hands were washed and had two straw grasshoppers in the palm of his hand.

Da Qiao's beautiful apricot eyes lit up. She looked at him, "Is this for me?"

Seeing that she didn't dislike it, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. Huo Chi pretended to be calm and stated, "En, for you. Randomly made."

"Thank you!" Da Qiao passed him the eggs and took the two grasshoppers into her hand, "Did you make this up by yourself?"

The two straw grasshoppers were very delicate, cute and lifelike. It was the first time she had seen such a straw creation.

Huo Chi's lip corner twitched slightly. He nodded and answered, "En, what other animals do you like? If I have time, I can make it for you."

After thinking about it, he added another sentence: "Just as a thank you gift for copying the book for me."

Da Qiao tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she asked in a quiet voice, "Can you weave hens?"

Huo Chi: "..."

Shouldn't a normal little girl like rabbits or butterflies?

Why did she specially want a hen?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Da Qiao thought it wasn't easy to make: "If you can't make it, then make whatever you can."

Huo Chi spoke: "I haven't made a hen before. I'll give it a try."

"Okay, then I'll wait."

...

When Fang Xiao Juan got sent to the town hospital, she was completely covered in bloody.

All her clothes and the quilt covering her were stained red with blood.

At that time, Wang Shui Sheng, who was driving a carriage, couldn't help trembling from top to bottom from this sight.

Everyone thought she wouldn't survive. Even the doctor said the chances were small.

In the end, she survived. The patients in the hospital said she her life was strong.

Wang Family thought that Fang Xiao Juan would stir trouble once she woke up. But strangely, she had been quiet for a few days since she woke up.

Unnervingly quiet.

"Eldest Brother, she hasn't spoken or made trouble for a few days. Is she holding back for some big moves?"

Old Second Wang spoke to Wang Shui Sheng with a sincere worry on his face.

Wang Shui Sheng glanced inside the ward. Fang Xiao Juan was drinking porridge under the service of her second sister-in-law. She didn't find fault or break out into a scolding. It was indeed very calm. Unlike Fang Xiao Juan from before.

Though Wang Shui Sheng felt unsettled in his heart, he said on the surface, "Don't scare yourself. It can't be that you want her to make a scene?"

Old Second Wang scratched his ears and responded, "I definitely don't want her to. But it's not like you haven't seen Fifth Younger Sister-in-law's character. I'm afraid that she's not making trouble now and will go for the kill with a big move later!"

For example, running to the community or the town government to report Fifth Younger Brother.

Ever since the document on severe crack down on the persecution of educated youth was issued last year, educated youth have received alternative protection and become an untouchable landmine.

Wang Xin Sheng, a man with a family, got involved with a female educated youth and almost caused a death. Once this incident was exposed, not only would he be shot dead, Wang family would also suffer!

The first to bear the brunt was him, Wang Shui Sheng, the production team leader. Then followed by old Third Wang in the army.

Both of them may be sacked. Wang Shui Sheng may be imprisoned for the crime of covering up.

Wang Shui Sheng and old Third Wang were the two most promising members of Wang family. If they fall, Wang Family will be finished!

This was something that no one in Wang Family wants to see. So the most important thing at the moment was to stabilize Fang Xiao Juan and get her give up the idea of reporting.

Wang Shui Sheng was silent for a while. Frowning, he spoke, "I'll go in and talk to her later."

An hour later, Wang Shui Sheng walked in with a frown while another patient in the ward was pushed out to bask in the sun.

Fang Xiao Juan saw Wang Shui Sheng come in. Only a glance was given. Not a word spoken.

Was an unscolding Fang Xiao Juan still Fang Xiao Juan?

Wang Shui Sheng's heart pounded again: "Fifth Younger Sister-in-law, Fifth Younger Brother had wronged you in this matter. I have already harshly beaten him!"

Fang Xiao Juan gazed at him with black pupils. Still silent.

Wang Shui Sheng felt cold sweat on his forehead: "Fifth Younger Sister-in-law, I won't go in to deep. Since you married into our Wang Family, then we are a family. Like grasshoppers on same line. If something happens to Fifth Younger Brother, you won't benefit. What do you think?"

Fang Xiao Juan's lip corner stretched and revealed a sarcastic smile: "Eldest Brother, as a victim, why can't I benefit? At most, I'm get lectured a few words. It doesn't hurt. But if I go to the community to report Wang Xin Sheng hooking up with a female educated youth, abused his wife, and caused my baby to die on the spot, what do you think will happen to him?"

Wang Shui Sheng's forehead was now in a knot: "Then what does it take for Fifth Younger Sister-in-law to give up reporting?"

He felt that Fang Xiao Juan had become a different person since she woke up. Which was indescribably strange.

Fang Xiao Juan didn't directly say her request. Instead, she threw the ball back to his court, "Then it depends on what your Wang Family can give me."

This was definitely not Fang Xiao Juan of the past!

Fang Xiao Juan should be bluffing. She should be impulsive and stupid. Not calmly negotiating terms with him like she was now!

Wang Shui Sheng looked at her like she was a ghost.

If the person in front of him didn't look like Fang Xiao Juan and if the feudal superstition had been disintegrated now, he really suspected she was taken over by something!

Fang Xiao Juan watched him stare her. A trace of nervousness flashed in her eyes: "Why is Eldest Brother looking at me like this?"

Wang Shui Sheng tentatively responded, "Fifth Younger Sister-in-law seem to be a little different from before."

Fang Xiao Juan pulled her lips: "If you went to hell and, you will be different too!"

Truthfully, the person who was talking to Wang Shui Sheng right now was indeed not the former Fang Xiao Juan.

She didn't have someone transmigrated into her body. The person in this body was still Fang Xiao Juan. However, it was the fifty-year-old Fang Xiao Juan who had rebirth from a previous life.

In her previous life, Fang Xiao Juan lived to the age of fifty. Then she died in a car accident. When she woke up again, she was lying in the hospital.

The appearance of Wang Family and the memory in her brain surprised her. It took almost three days for her to digest her resurrection.

It was just that this life was very different from the previous life.

In her last life, she never divorced. She lived with Qiao Zhen Jun all her life.

Qiao Zhen Jun was a trash!

The reform and opening up was such a good opportunity. Everyone around him was rich. While he was timid. All his life, he lived in the countryside as a hopeless farmer!

Implicating her to also live in the countryside all her life. In her last life, she regretted not divorcing him earlier. Otherwise, with her beauty, she would definitely be able to re-marry a capable man!

So when she knew that she had divorced Qiao Zhen Jun in this life, the rebirthed Fang Xiao Juan wasn't too surprised. But rather, she was glad that she had taken the most correct step!

What made her very dissatisfied was that this life's Fang Xiao Juan kept acting up when there was such a good man like Wang Xin Sheng and turned a good hand of cards into bad ones!

That was right. Even when she knew that she had been miscarried due to Wang Xin Sheng in this life, Wang Xin Sheng was still a very good candidate in her opinion.

After all, Wang Xin Sheng in her previous life dearly doted Lin Hui. Most importantly, he became the first ten-thousand-yuan household in the village!

She still remembered the scene when Wang Xin Sheng drove back to the village in a car. Lin Hui got out of the car wearing a red coat.

Lin Hui had permed her hair and was wearing clothes she had never seen before. She was very modern.

While she was wearing gray clothes. Although there was no patch, but she couldn't wait to dig a hole and bury herself on the spot when compared with the other party!

At that time, Lin Hui walked in front of her in high heels, looking at her as if she was looking at a pile of garbage. Her eyes were full of sympathy and provocation. It had made her so angry that she grounded her teeth and wished she could rush to tear her face on the spot!

So in this life, how can she not cherish a good hand of cards when she clearly had it?

After all, she has lived a whole life. Her experience and mind were above Fang Xiao Juan's in this life. So even if she wanted to live a good life with Wang Xin Sheng, she still wanted to strive for the most favorable situation for herself.

When Wang Shui Sheng heard her words, a flash of awkwardness flashed on his face: "Fifth Younger Sister-in-law, Fifth Younger Brother was indeed wrong in this matter. If you want to divorce, we will not stop you. What's more, we'll compensate you!"

Let alone not stopping her, Wang Family can't wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate if Fang Xiao Juan agrees to the divorce!

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiao Juan answered without a second thought: "I'm not divorcing. I still have feelings for Xin Sheng."

Wang Shui Sheng: "..."

Forgive him for being blind, But he can't see Fang Xiao Juan having the slightest affection for his fifth younger brother!

As long as anyone who wasn't blind, they can see that the reason why Fang Xiao Juan married into the Wang Family was because of Wang Family's background.

If not, with Wang Xin Sheng's couch potato temperament, which woman would be willing to marry him?

Wang Shui Sheng rendered speechless for a long time before he recovered his voice: "Since Fifth Younger Sister-in-law have feelings for Fifth Younger Brother, you wouldn't report him?"

Fang Xiao Juan replied: "Having feelings for him and him doing me wrong is two different things. I have suffered such a big hardship and forgive him easily, maybe he will beat me like this next time!"

Wang Shui Sheng shook his head: "He won't. I promise you!"

He didn't plan to tell Fang Xiao Juan about sending Wang Xin Sheng to the army for the time being. for fear of what would happen after he said it.

Although Fang Xiao Juan had lived two lifetimes, she was still an impatient person. She went straight to the point, "Let me say it directly. To get me to not report, then your Wang Family must compensate me with one thousand yuan!"

Nothing was more realistic than money!

She planned to go back and live a good life with Wang Xin Sheng and win his heart.

But if that didn't work, she will use the money to do business after the reform!

Since she lived an extra lifetime, she believed that she can make money!

When Wang Shui Sheng heard her words, he almost jumped up and uttered, "One thousand yuan! You might as well go rob! Go f*cking report then!"

But he quickly calmed himself down: "Fifth Younger Sister-in-law, you open a lion mouth. Our Wang family can't take out a thousand yuan!"

Fang Xiao Juan didn't believe it: "Eldest Brother, don't lie to me. Third Younger Brother has been an officer in the army for so many years. The money sent back every year is three or four hundred yuan. After so many years, how could there be not thousand yuan?"

Wang Shui Sheng's face became even more ugly: "There are so many people in Wang Family. Got to build a house, get married and have children. Which didn't need money? So this thousand yuan really can't be gathered up!"

Of course Fang Xiao Juan wouldn't believe his nonsense. She didn't want to make things too stiff. After some pondering, she spoke: "For Xin Sheng's sake, I'll take a step back. Eight hundred yuan. It can't be any less. Take eight hundred yuan as buying my baby's life. Rest assured, once I get the money, I will properly live life with Xin Sheng. And that female educated youth, I won't make things difficult for her!"

Off with your rest assured!

Such a good-natured Wang Shui Sheng couldn't help but want to swear when he heard her words!

The first time she threatened Wang Family with a pregnant belly. Now she was threatening Wang Family with the death of the baby!

It would be better if she divorced and asked for money. But she happened to persist on wanting to properly live with Wang Xin Sheng!

Vomit!

Wasn't this a whore putting up a chastity sign?

Wang Shui Sheng felt extremely disgusted. He stated with a dark face, "I can't give you an answer on this matter. I have to go home and discuss it with my parents."

Fang Xiao Juan nodded: "No problem."

...

"An Ping, take out your test paper for Mom to see. Did the teacher make a mistake with yours and Da Qiao's test paper?"

Wan Chun Ju knew Da Qiao had passed with double 100 test paper. While her son passed with double duck egg test. She couldn't believe this fact.

Everyone was speechless: "..."

Qiao Dong Ying rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, An Ping is in the third grade and Da Qiao is in the second grade. No matter how blind the teacher is, they will never make such a mistake with their test papers!"

Wan Chun Ju was choked by her daughter. Her face turned red and then white: "You damn girl, only know to talk back! I used so much money to let you study. And you get such scores back. Aren't you letting me, your mom down?"

Qiao Dong Ying rolled her eyes again: "Mom, I have to remind you that the money for studying is from my grandparents!"

Wan Chun Ju was so angry that wanted stomped her feet: "Da Qiao can get 100% in the test, why can't you two?"

Although she was mad when her son got double duck egg, she was reluctant to scold him. So she scolded the two girls instead!

Before Qiao Dong Ying could respond, An Ping came over and sighed like his dad: "It's all your fault, Mom. We're not smart because we are like Mom, no?"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

This pissed her off!

Qiao Zhen Guo laughed: "Son, you're right. You didn't get 100% in the test because, like you guys are like your mom. Let me tell you, your mom didn't want to go to the literacy class because she didn't understand!"

Wan Chu Ju: "..."
