Chapter 330 The water is too cold

Chapter 330 The water is too cold

In November, not only the temperature drops significantly, but the temperature difference is also quite large, making it easy to catch a cold.

That afternoon, Qiao Sanli's forehead began to feel hot, and she pulled Chen Tao dizzy, shouting "Daddy, Daddy."

Chen Tao also knew some medical skills, so of course he knew that the girl had a cold, so he settled her down first and then went to the hospital to buy medicine.

These days, paracetamol has not been officially introduced in China, but metamizole is available. Although there are some side effects, the effect is quite good.

Soon, he came back from buying medicine, fed it to his eldest daughter, and then let her go to bed to rest obediently.

With her now like this, Chen Tao would certainly not let her take care of Qiqi anymore. Fortunately, the younger son was also very well-behaved and didn't make much fuss until his two older brothers came back from school.

"Dad, is Sanli okay?"

Qiao Yicheng expressed concern.

In the original plot, one time Sanli caught a cold, and it was he who carried his sister to the hospital for treatment. Later, he was angry and reported his father for gambling because he only played cards and ignored his daughter.

Chen Tao said: "After taking the medicine, the problem is not big, you don't have to worry. Sanli Simei and I have also eaten dinner. There is still some chicken soup in the kitchen for you and Erqiang to eat."

Qiao Yicheng nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Chen Tao then told his younger daughter: "Go sleep with your elder brother tonight to prevent your sister from passing the cold to you."

Qiao Simei also nodded in agreement.

Qiao Yicheng warned again: "Dad, please be careful and don't catch a cold!"

After getting along for nearly a month, Qiao Yicheng certainly recognized his current father and sincerely hoped that he would not change back again.

Chen Tao chuckled: "I don't need you to remind me, hurry up and eat. Do your homework after eating. I hope you will be admitted to college in the future and then support me in my old age."

‘I won’t raise it for you! ’

Qiao Yichen cursed in his heart and took his brother to the kitchen.

After nearly a month of exercise, Chen Tao's physical fitness has reached level three. In addition to looking younger and stronger, it is basically impossible to get sick again.

In fact, his biological children in the first two worlds never got sick.

After all, when they were still gestating in their mother's womb, they had already received the side reinforcements from the plug-in.

"Dad Sanli has a headache..."

Qiao Sanli was lying on the bed, holding Chen Tao's hand tightly, and said in a daze.

"Take a nap and it won't hurt when you wake up."

Chen Tao comforted in a low voice.

He recalled an interesting incident when he had a cold and a high fever when he was a child. His father was so anxious that while giving him medicine and water, he also used popsicles to physically cool him down.

He was also like this at that time. He was in a daze and had no idea that his parents were dying of panic.

"S-can't sleep..."

"Then daddy will tell you a story, okay?"

"Well, I want to hear a story..."

"In the woods of Purple Mountain, there live two talking bears..."

After listening for more than ten minutes, Qiao Sanli finally fell asleep.

Chen Tao took out the thermometer from her limb socket and looked at it. He found that the temperature did not rise, and he was relieved.

Children don’t have enough immunity, so even minor illnesses can be troublesome.

Fortunately, this girl's problem is not serious. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be fine tomorrow morning.

midnight.

Qiao Yicheng was woken up by Qiqi. After putting him to sleep again, he saw that the light in his father's room was still on, so he walked over.

Seeing his father sitting at his desk writing a book, he couldn't help but expressed concern:

"Dad, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Chen Tao put down his pen and said with a smile: "Did you know that ideas for writing articles often only come up in the dead of night? I am different from you. I stay up late at night and can sleep during the day. But you can't, you have to concentrate on listening to the class. The second best doesn't like studying, so you, the eldest brother, have to supervise him and try to get him to go to high school."

This stinking old man started to care about our studies again...

"got it."

Qiao Yi suddenly felt warm and decided to supervise his younger brother carefully and never let him continue to neglect his studies.

What to strive for in high school? Go to college!

It has to be said that this kid Qiao Yicheng knows how to add layers of pressure.

"Go back to sleep!"

"Dad, I, I want to read the article you wrote."

"Look at it in a few years. What I write now is too early for you."

Since it is scars and reflections, it will inevitably involve those things, which will have an impact on Qiao Yicheng's outlook on life. There is no need to contact them now.

"oh……"

At Qiao Yicheng's age, of course he is very face-conscious. If he could know the articles written by his father, he could buy the corresponding newspapers and magazines and show them off in front of his classmates.

But since dad doesn’t agree, let’s forget it!

The next day.

Qiao Sanli did recover, but she was still a little weak and had to recover for another day or two.

***

On the morning of the beginning of winter, Chen Tao received another reply and remittance order.

In the letter, the editors of newspapers and magazines first praised him, and then urged him to keep updated. They also said that many readers had written letters and they would send them together in a few days.

In addition, it also comes with a bicycle purchase coupon, which can be used to buy a permanent 17-type bicycle.

This was naturally what Chen Tao requested and the editor helped to achieve.

Although two legs are very useful and can improve physical fitness, sometimes it is more convenient to ride a bicycle.

So in the afternoon, Chen Tao took the two girls to withdraw money and buy a car.

After buying the car, they sat on the front bumper and the back seat, and were led through the streets by Chen Tao. They were very happy.

And those neighbors also talked a lot about this scumbag old Joe's "prodigal son turning back".

Of course, Wei Shufang did not keep it secret. Many people knew that Chen Tao was writing. Therefore, while envious, they also felt that he had just got lucky and turned from an old oil man to a pen master. This is really unpopular. The world is in decline!

Now that they saw that he had bought a bicycle, everyone was immediately envious and wanted to come over to inquire about the situation.

"Brother Qiao, what kind of articles are you writing? Tell me about them!"

When Chen Tao and his daughters came in, Aunt Wu couldn't help but come over and ask.

"They are just short-sighted people with nothing interesting to see. I really don't have the face to tell you. One day my writing skills will improve and I will have famous works, then I will tell you!"

Chen Tao smiled and refused.

Seeing what he said, Aunt Wu suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, thinking that he was just thinking nonsense!

But I’m really envious.

Look at this old Qiao. Not only did he lose a good wife, but he also had to raise five children. Logically speaking, it should be as difficult as possible.

But before anyone could react, he turned out to be a good man. He became a writer and earned a lot of money. He could even buy a bicycle.

Obviously more than a month ago, everyone pretended to care about the Qiao family's life, but now it turns out that the clown is everyone.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.

By evening, the sky was already dark.

When Qiao Yicheng came home from school, he saw the lights on in the kitchen and the windows were blurred by the heat.

Through the dim light, you can see the two sisters, happily spinning the wheels of their bicycles.

Um, bike?

Qiao Yicheng stepped forward to take a look and found that it was a new bike. He asked, "Sanli, where did this bike come from?"

"Dad bought it!"

Qiao Simei answered first.

Qiao Yicheng nodded, feeling that his father had done something serious again.

As for the fact that his father can afford to buy a bicycle, he is not surprised.

Because he and his brothers and sisters did receive a total of fifty-six yuan in pocket money.

If dad has this money to give them, of course he will have money to buy bicycles.

"elder brother……"

As soon as Qiao Erqiang said a word, Qiao Yicheng knew what he said and warned him as he entered the kitchen:

"It's late now. When you get up early tomorrow, we can learn to drive together."

Qiao Erqiang was very happy when he heard this.

In the original plot, he would go hungry and save money in order to buy a good dress.

Apparently he also cares about saving face and wants to go out on his bike to show off.

However, this may not be his nature.

Because the conditions of Qiao's family are poor, he will inevitably have some inferiority complex in front of other children, and at the same time he wants to be recognized, so he has such a character.

The same goes for Qiao Yicheng.

He is quite jealous of his cousin Qi Weimin. Not only does he have a very good father, but his mother has not passed away, and his grades are better than his own. He is simply his ideal self.

On the dinner table.

Qiao Yicheng reminded: "Dad, it's winter now, it's time to make some pickles."

Chen Tao immediately gave up his pick: "You and Erqiang go and do it. I don't have time to do it. Don't do it too much. Eating too much pickled products is not good for your health."

Qiao Yicheng nodded and had no objection.

After the meal, Qiao Yicheng took the initiative to clean up the pots and pans, and then took Qiao Erqiang, who was looking reluctant, to his room to do his homework.

Chen Tao, on his side, did not go out to play mahjong anymore, but was working on manuscripts in his room.

Someone gave him a car coupon, so naturally he had to reciprocate the favor.

As for the two cute girls, they naturally chatted and chatted. When it was almost nine o'clock, they went over to wash their faces and feet and go to bed to rest.

At about half past eleven, Chen Tao also put down his pen, put on his pajamas and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt someone hugging his waist.

It's the youngest daughter Simei.

The temperature has dropped recently, and this girl would often crawl into his quilt unconsciously. Fortunately, she stopped wetting the bed, otherwise Chen Tao would definitely have to drive her away.

As for when to let her and Sanli leave, it will have to wait for two or three months, after Qiqi stops crying frequently.

Otherwise, the two girls would not be able to sleep well and would not have the energy to take care of his children.

Another few days passed.

On the morning of Sunday, Qiao Yicheng bought 80 kilograms of large-leaf green vegetables, and then asked Qiao Erqiang to wash and pickle them with him.

Because the water from the well was used, it felt quite cold. Qiao Erqiang couldn't bear it, so he quickly became perfunctory and stopped washing seriously.

Qiao Yicheng was very angry when he saw it, and kicked him directly:

"You have to peel off the leaves of each vegetable and wash them clean! If I see mud, then you have to lick them clean!"

Qiao Erqiang rubbed his buttocks and said aggrievedly:

"Brother, this water is too cold. Can I warm my hands first?"

Chen Tao came back with the meat and happened to hear this and couldn't help laughing:

"You two little fools, can't you use your brain? Just buy two pairs of rubber gloves and then put on woolen gloves? It's really Muli's fault!"

Mom used to make pickles, but she didn't say anything even if it was cold, so Qiao Yicheng didn't think of this.

‘Dad, it would be great if he could change earlier! ’

Qiao Yicheng thought of his mother's white hands and couldn't help but sigh. (End of chapter)
