Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

In most novels, movies, and TV series, the child protagonists are often all kinds of maverick naughty children. They seem to be born with thorns, like to go against the grain of adults, and are all kinds of disobedient to discipline.

But in reality, most children are very afraid of adults and are very obedient to adults, unless the children's parents are overly doting and spoil the children.

But in situations where children are spoiled, families with relatively good family conditions are generally able to create an information cocoon for their children, so that the children have the conditions to be spoiled.

As for children from poor families, do they still want their parents to spoil their children? What are you thinking about?

In fact, most of the so-called "spoiled generation", "beat generation" and "little emperor generation" born in the 1980s that have been blown up by the domestic media have never lived in a honeypot.

, of course, it’s not that they were spoiled since childhood, it’s just that their material conditions are better than their predecessors.

But having good material conditions does not mean that their parents will pamper their children.

Because for the majority of those born in the 1980s in China, the world they live in is still an era when the country is relatively poor, and they are still incomparable with children in developed countries. They may not suffer as much as those born in the 1960s or 1970s, but they are definitely

He cannot be called a "little emperor".

Specific to the siblings Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan, these two children are typical of those born in the 1970s.

When they were born, although they were no longer as hungry as those born in the 1950s and 1960s, when it came to enjoying happiness, it was definitely out of the question.

The poorer the family, the stricter the discipline of their children, because if they are not strict, they will not be able to survive.

The children of the poor will be the masters of their families early, that’s what they say.

In the same way, just because they are poor, children from poor families become sensible earlier.

Without him, if you are exposed to cruel reality too early, you will naturally become wiser earlier.

This is the case with Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan. Although they are still children, they are both very obedient children.

Because disobedient children will be forced to stand and be beaten, and they will not get anything to eat or even eat.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When they know that listening to adults will lead to a better life, they will naturally be willing to be obedient children.

Especially, after arriving in the capital, they enjoyed a life they had never enjoyed before, ate things they had never tasted before, and wore good clothes they had never dared to think of before.

The huge changes in living conditions naturally made Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan happy.

But at the same time, they also knew very well that these were given by their uncle.

Although due to various psychological reasons, they gradually took all this for granted, it does not mean that they are not afraid of their uncle Cao Zhiqiang.

This is just like those rich second generations who love to show off their wealth. No matter how arrogant and domineering they are outside, they have to bow their heads obediently when facing their sponsor dad, otherwise it will be impossible to live a rich second generation life.

Therefore, when Cao Zhiqiang asked the two children to apologize to Qiao Simei, although they were unhappy in their hearts, they still succumbed to Cao Zhiqiang's authority and bowed their heads.

Just like that, the two children followed Cao Zhiqiang into the house with their faces drawn and their heads lowered.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang came to Qiao Simei with his two children.

"Simei." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I have already understood the situation. The conflict between you is just a misunderstanding. Wenfang and Wenxuan have also realized that they have done something wrong. They are here to talk to you now.

Apologized."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan: "Wenfang, Wenxuan, you two are older, please apologize first."

Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan looked at each other, and then looked at Cao Jiajia, who was staring at them with a livid face.

After seeing Cao Jiajia's eyes, they immediately understood that there was no way to escape this apology.

"I'm sorry." Xia Wenfang was the first to apologize, "I shouldn't have said that to you, I shouldn't have called you an outsider."

"I'm sorry too." Xia Wenxuan apologized for the second time, "I shouldn't have yelled at you, and I shouldn't have called you an outsider."

"Hmph!" Qiao Simi put her hands on her hips and raised her chin happily, "Now you know how to apologize? Why did you go there earlier? Aren't you very proud before?"

Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said nothing.

Seeing that they stopped talking, Qiao Simei said cheerfully: "Come on, call me aunt!"

"Four beauties!" Cao Lili suddenly frowned and said, "That's enough! You've gone too far! They have already apologized, so you should apologize too, instead of being unreasonable and unforgiving!"

"Why?" Qiao Simei said, "It's their fault in the first place. They should apologize to me. Why should I apologize to them? And what's wrong with letting them call me aunt? You and I are both brother Zhiqiang's sisters. They

Both of them are nephews of brother Zhiqiang, so in terms of seniority, is it wrong to let them call me aunt?"

"Stop talking!" Cao Lili said, "Hurry up and apologize, hurry up!"

"I don't, I won't!" Qiao Simei shook her head, "I'm right, why should I apologize?"

"You, do you want to apologize or not?" Cao Lili stood up and asked.

"I won't!" Qiao Simei stiffened her neck and said, "I'm right, I am their elder, I am their aunt, where did I go wrong?"

"You!" Cao Lili became angry and subconsciously slapped Qiao Simei on the face.

This slap stunned everyone, including Cao Lili who took action.

"Four beauties!" Cao Lili took two steps regretfully.

"Don't come here!" Qiao Simei suddenly covered her face with tears and took two steps back. "Okay, you hit me, and you hit me for a few outsiders? You are not my sister, and I am not your sister!"

After saying that, Qiao Simei whimpered and ran out.

"Four beauties!" Cao Lili was about to chase after her.

"No!" Cao Zhiqiang frowned and stopped, "I'll go, Simei, you stay, talk to the eldest sister, and don't cause any trouble!"

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang nodded to Cao Jiajia, and then chased out.

After chasing out, Cao Zhiqiang did not stop Qiao Simei immediately, but followed closely behind Qiao Simei and watched her run away.

Qiao Simei ran out of the West Cross Courtyard, and he followed her and ran out of the West Cross Courtyard.

Qiao Simei ran out of the courtyard, and Cao Zhiqiang also ran out of the courtyard.

Qiao Simei ran into the alley, and Cao Zhiqiang followed suit.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang followed Qiao Simei closely, following her slowly and slowly, watching her cry and running, but he refused to stop her.

For those who don’t know, they thought Cao Zhiqiang was chasing the child. In fact, Cao Zhiqiang just wanted Qiao Simei to run as much as she wanted, cry as much as she wanted, and vent her inner emotions to her heart’s content.

As the saying goes, bystanders know better. By now, Cao Zhiqiang has finally understood everything.

Qiao Simei's current style, although it seems unreasonable, is the kind of villain heroine that makes people crazy and annoying in some fast-food online novels.

But in fact, Qiao Simei is not the kind of person who is narcissistic, arrogant and unreasonable.

Yes, Qiao Simei is indeed bold and a beauty control, and even her eyesight is a bit lacking. She also goes her own way and never looks back until she hits the wall, but this does not mean that she is an arrogant person who thinks that the whole world is surrounding her.

Wander around.

The reason is very simple. Qiao Simei also comes from a poor family and has experienced a lot of hardships since she was a child. It is impossible to say that she is ignorant.

It's just that compared to Qiao Sanli, who has a more stable temperament, no, Cao Lili, Qiao Simei's temperament is more optimistic and lively.

She is really ignorant. How could she come all the way from Nanjing to Peiping by train?

In fact, none of them, including Cao Lili, Cao Jiajia, and even Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan, understood the truth behind why Qiao Simei was so angry.

In fact, Qiao Simei was not angry that Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan did not respect her, she just had a panic about her identity.

You must know that after Qiao Simei came to Peking all the way from Nanjing, although she went to join her sister, because she was still a child, she was actually still a member of the Qiao family in Nanjing, and could not be considered a Pekingese at all, nor could she be considered a member of the Cao family.

.

This is completely different from Cao Lili's situation.

Since Qiao Sanli was adopted and renamed Cao Lili, although she is still related to the Qiao family by blood, in terms of identity, she is already a serious member of the Cao family.

Just look at the household registration book for this. Cao Lili's name is written on the Cao family's household registration book. It is precisely because of this that Cao Lili can go to elementary school in the capital as a native of the capital.

Qiao Simei is different. Although she is Cao Lili's biological sister, her household registration belongs to her father who is not very good in Nanjing. Therefore, in terms of identity, Qiao Simei belongs to the Qiao family, not the Cao family.

On this point, Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan were actually right.

It was precisely because Qiao Simei's surname was not Cao that when Cao Jiajia held a family banquet, only Cao Lili was allowed to attend the main table, and Qiao Simei was not invited to the table.

Although Cao Jiajia said that she wanted Qiao Simei to eat with her peers, the main reason was that Cao Jiajia didn't think Qiao Simei was a member of the Cao family.

It would be fine if Qiao Simei was not sensible at all, but Qiao Simei was actually very sensible. She just pretended not to be sensible, pretending to be lively and out-of-the-box to cover up her panic.

To put it bluntly, Qiao Simei doesn't want to go back, but she knows that she is not from here, so now she is neither from the Qiao family nor the Cao family, and is in a very embarrassing situation.

The more this happens, the more she wants to be affirmed and recognized, and what she wants to be affirmed most is naturally to become a member of the Cao family.

While Qiao Simei emphasized that Cao Lili was her biological sister, she also always said that she would marry Cao Zhiqiang when she grew up. In fact, she mainly wanted to integrate into the Cao family and become a member of the Cao family.

Cao Zhiqiang also knew this, so he asked his eldest sister Cao Jiajia to adopt Qiao Simei.

Only by letting Cao Jiajia adopt Qiao Simei can Qiao Simei legitimately become a member of the Cao family, and can go to school and live in the capital with peace of mind.

According to Cao Zhiqiang's understanding, Cao Jiajia had no reason to refuse. After all, Cao Jiajia had not received the slightest benefit from Cao Zhiqiang. He just asked her to help adopt a child, and it was only in name. What's the problem?

As a result, just after saying a few words, Qiao Simei came over to make a fuss.

"Woof! Woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

A sudden dog barking came from the front, frightening Qiao Simei who was running away with her head down and crying.

She immediately stopped, looked left and right, and found that she had come to a strange alley with dim lights.

And ahead, it was completely pitch black, like a mouth that was choosy, waiting for delicious prey to fall into the trap.

The instinct of fear of the dark made Qiao Simei take two steps back subconsciously.

Then, a stray dog ​​slowly walked out of the darkness and grinned at Qiao Simei.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Simei instinctively trembled all over and stood there, not daring to move.

Suddenly, the stray dog ​​shrank its head, turned around, tucked its tail and ran away.

Then, Qiao Simei, who was trembling all over, felt her body tighten, as if someone was hugging her from behind.

"Ah! Let me go, help!" Qiao Simei began to struggle instinctively.

"Shh, stop shouting, it's me, Simei!" Cao Zhiqiang's voice rang in Qiao Simei's ears.

At the same time, Qiao Simei also felt that the arms holding her were separated.

Only then did Qiao Simei react and turned around suddenly, just in time to see Cao Zhiqiang squatting behind her.

"Brother Cao?" Qiao Simei exclaimed.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "It's me."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to pick up a clean handkerchief and wiped Qiao Simei's tears with a smile.

"Are you tired from running? Do you want to run again? Do you want to cry?

It doesn't matter, if you haven't run enough and cried enough, just keep running and keep crying.

Don't worry, I'll be right behind you to protect you. You can run and cry with confidence, there won't be any danger."

Qiao Simei blinked blankly, then rushed over, hugged Cao Zhiqiang's neck, and started crying again: "Brother Cao, woo woo, brother Cao, I, I, woo woo..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know everything." Cao Zhiqiang also hugged Qiao Simei and gently patted Qiao Simei's shoulder.

"Simei, I know what you are worried about and what you are afraid of.

It doesn't matter, in my heart, you are my sister and my relative. In terms of status, you and your sister are the same, both are my real sisters.

To be honest, I think you are right. In terms of status and seniority, you are the aunt of my two nephews. This is not wrong.

What's wrong with you is that the way you declare your identity is wrong.

You know, even if you are the elder of my two nephews in terms of status, you are younger than them in terms of age.

Therefore, you must respect them, treat them as peers first, and be good friends with them first, instead of using seniority to pressure others when they first come up.

If you become friends with them and treat each other as equals, and you bring up the issue of seniority, they will readily accept it. At most, they will find it interesting, but they will not say that about you.

Of course, I also know why you are so anxious.

This is actually my fault. I ignored your feelings, didn't let you enter the main table, and made you think that we don't treat you as one of our own.

Actually that's not the case, it's really just my negligence.

Besides, I thought you liked to play with peers, and our table is mostly full of adults, so you might not like that."

"No! I like it!" Qiao Simei sobbed, "I will be where my brother is, and I will like whatever my brother likes."

"Silly boy." Cao Zhiqiang touched Qiao Simei's head, "Simei, my brother has neglected you recently and didn't understand your feelings. Here, my brother apologizes to you.

I should have realized your fear earlier, and I should have solved your identity problem earlier.

It's a pity that I have been busy with my own affairs recently and have forgotten your affairs. You don't blame brother, do you?"

"No." Qiao Simei hugged Cao Zhiqiang tightly again.

"I know you are busy with business. Me, my things are just small things, there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Me, I'm just afraid that you hate me, afraid that you don't like me, afraid that you forget me.

I don't want to be separated from you.

In fact, I also know that I'm wrong, but I'm just afraid, afraid that you will hate me and don't want me anymore."

"How could it be?" Cao Zhiqiang patted Qiao Simei on the shoulder, "How could I not want you? I'm just worrying."

"But, my surname is Qiao after all." Qiao Simei said with a flat mouth, "I am not the same family as you, and besides, I am still so young, and I can't marry you now. You, what if you find me?"

If you marry another woman, won't I have no chance to become a family with you?"

"Silly girl!" Cao Zhiqiang laughed, "A family doesn't have to have the same last name, nor does it have to be related by blood.

Maybe it seems like this to others, but I don't care about it.

Anyway, in my opinion, the so-called family is not blood or surname, but people who have real emotional bonds with each other, and who can care about each other, miss each other, and never leave each other.

Regardless of blood relationship or surname, they are just important ties to strengthen this emotional bond, but they are not the only ties.

From this perspective, you and Lili are both my real family members, because we already have emotional bonds with each other.

Of course, I am not saying that blood relationship and surname relationship are not important, but I am saying that compared to those, inner emotional bonds are the most important.

Since you appeared in my world, we have lived together for so long and have feelings for each other.

I have regarded you as my family, and of course I cannot bear to have you leave.

So, if you treat me as a family member, don't always be suspicious and worry about this and that. If you have any worries, just tell me directly and don't always make me guess.

Family members should be honest with each other and speak out when they have something to say. If they always keep their words to themselves, what kind of family is that? Don't you think so?"

"I'm sorry." Qiao Simei bit her lip, "I'm just afraid of losing you, afraid that you think I'm unreasonable, afraid that you don't want me anymore."

"No." Cao Zhiqiang patted Qiao Simei's shoulder again.

"As long as you recognize me as your brother for one day, I will recognize you as my sister for one day.

As long as you still treat me as family, I will treat you as family.

So, Simei, don't worry and be afraid anymore. From the day you came to my house and recognized me as your brother, I already recognized you as my sister.

This has nothing to do with blood or surname. It is purely a fate destined by God, the fate between you and me.

Do you think, if you and I were not destined to be together, why could you be together in Nanjing and me in Peiping, so far apart?"

"Yes." Qiao Simei nodded thoughtfully, "Let me just say, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. It turns out it's because we are destined."

The corner of Cao Zhiqiang's mouth twitched and he thought, are you destined to do that? You just do it because I'm handsome! You're a pretty girl!

But when the words came to his lips, he said: "Yes, that's exactly it!

We can meet each other because of fate, and we can know each other because of fate. Therefore, you and I are destined to be brothers and sisters in this life.

This is fate arranged by God. Even if you don’t believe in yourself, you should believe in God, God is the greatest!”

"Yeah!" Qiao Simei burst into tears and laughed, "Yes, God is destined to make me your brother and sister. No, I still want to be your wife. Is that okay?"

"Ahem, I'm afraid this won't work."

"Why?"

"Well, you'll understand this when you grow up."

"Why can't you tell me now when you grow up to understand?"

"You are still young now, so you don't understand even if I say it. Anyway, when you are my age, you will understand. Do you understand?"

"That's it, that's good, I will grow up quickly!"

"Okay, then you should eat less snacks and exercise more, study hard and sleep more, so that you can grow up quickly."

"real?"

"necessary!"

"Then I listen to you!"

"Are you still worried and scared now?"

"No!"

"Then come back with me? Excuse me by the way? Be a good and beautiful woman?"

"Okay, okay, but I can't run anymore, so you have to carry me!"

"no problem!"
