Chapter 336 He is my dad
After the lively Spring Festival, more than a month has passed and it is the second month of the lunar calendar, the mid-spring season.
Chen Tao felt bored again, so he became restless and prepared to go to the wilderness of South America to survive.
Well, with his physique comparable to that of an American captain, this adventure trip is just for leisure. I'm afraid it won't even give him any excitement. It really can't be called wilderness survival.
Before leaving, Qiao Simei hugged his thigh and cried so hard that she insisted that he take her out to play.
However, Chen Tao was hard-hearted, so Qiao Yicheng took the opportunity to make a condition, saying that as long as she passed the exam and passed the top 100 of her age, she could go abroad with her father during the winter vacation in half a year.
Qiao Simei had no choice but to agree, but it soon became a three-minute affair.
She is not worried, because her sister's grades are very good, and her father will definitely let her take her out to play. Then if she takes a ride, can't she go out by herself?
On Chen Tao's side, after sneaking to South America, he got fully armed and got into the rain forest with photography equipment.
He plans to take some photos of animals, plants, and beautiful scenery as souvenirs, and he can also sell them to earn some extra money.
In the first two worlds, he had family ties. Although he had traveled around the world, he had never been so completely free to immerse himself in nature.
Standing on the top of the high cliff, looking at the beautiful morning sun and the magnificent scene of the Andes Mountains, he couldn't help shouting loudly, feeling that the whole world was lying at his feet.
Traveling to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, Chen Tao is far from capable. But he can feel a little bit of that coveted fairyland.
In fact, to ordinary people, he is an immortal who lives forever.
second half of the year.
Chen Tao did not return to Jinling, but went to North America.
This time he did not survive in the wilderness, but by chance, he went on a six-month trip across the United States with the lovely daughter of a runaway farmer.
This American girl's name is Helena. Her appearance matches Chen Tao's aesthetics very well, and she is also very smart, so this trip is really interesting.
In early 1987, Helena returned home with great joy.
The moment of departure has arrived.
Helena had tried hard to hope that Chen Tao would go home with her.
Chen Tao did not agree. He did not want to be restrained, let alone be beaten into a hornet's nest by the angry father.
Helena's persuasion was fruitless, so she had to say goodbye to this cool uncle named John Joseph Hansen, nicknamed JOJO.
As for why it’s called Hansen?
It's very simple, just look at the face.
***
March 6, 1987, the beginning of spring.
Chen Tao set out from the Magic City and returned to Jinling, where he had been away for nearly a year.
During this period, nothing happened at home.
Qiao Yicheng was about to graduate from his bachelor's degree, but instead of obeying the work assignment, he was preparing to take the postgraduate examination and continue his studies.
Anyway, there is no financial pressure, why not study for a few more years!
Qiao Erqiang did not enter high school, so he got a junior high school diploma and waited for Chen Tao to come back to arrange a job.
Qiao Sanli will definitely pass the high school entrance examination this year.
Qiao Simei's grades are not good either, but she won't repeat a grade. She will be in the second grade of junior high school in the fall.
Qiao Qiqi was very upbeat, and his grades were among the best for his age, which made his eldest brother Qiao Yicheng very happy.
His hard work had some effect after all.
Seven o'clock in the evening, Jinling Hotel.
"Dad, after the summer vacation, can you take me, my sister, and Qiqi to go abroad to play together? I've grown up and I haven't been out yet!"
Qiao Simei, who had shawl hair, sat down next to her father, pouring drinks and picking up food, showing great attentiveness.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to do it during the summer vacation. I have to find something for your second brother to do. I can't let him hang around outside all day."
Of course Chen Tao would not send Qiao Erqiang to the Yuhong Machinery Factory, and he would not let him fall in love with the wife Ma Suqin like Silly Zhu.
He couldn't grasp it.
Of course, neither could the later Sun Xiaomo, who knew all the three things, and Qiao Erqiang couldn't handle it either...
Hiss, thinking of this, Chen Tao felt that Sun Xiaomo was very suitable for him.
Yes, I’ll go find her in a few days!
Qiao Yicheng asked curiously: "Dad, what are you going to ask the second best to do?"
Qiao Sanli and others are also very curious.
Chen Tao smiled and said: "In the past few years, I have learned a lot of dim sum abroad. When the time comes, I will open a coffee shop and let him work for me."
He is not joking, but has already established connections and even has approval documents.
After all, he is now a Hong Kong businessman, and investing in foreign exchange is very popular.
Upon hearing this plan, Qiao Simei immediately became excited:
"Dad, I want to work for you too!"
She is in love all day long and has a bourgeois sentiment. Of course she will like this kind of store.
"No, you're not of age yet. If I dare to hire you, my little shop won't be able to open."
Chen Tao smiled and refused.
Qiao Simei squeezed into Chen Tao's arms, dug her head into his chest, and hummed:
"Then I'll eat and drink for free!"
This girl...
Better than in the original plot.
At least apart from looking at looks, we also pay attention to boys' abilities.
Like the "Brother Wei" who was left twice in the original plot, he won't be her cup of tea.
"It's not okay to eat and drink for free! You pay for today's meal."
With that said, Chen Tao straightened the coquettish little daughter.
"Yes, I'll buy it! By the way, we'll open a suite and invite my sister to stay here for a night!"
Qiao Simei was educated by Chen Tao and spent money without blinking an eye.
Everyone in the school knows that she is a rich little girl.
But Sanli was very obedient. She took her sister's arm and persuaded her, "Don't spend money randomly! It's not easy for dad to make money."
Before Qiao Simei could refute, Chen Tao said angrily:
"Sanli, dad is very pleased that you know how to save. But dad's money is very easy to earn, so you can spend it as you like, don't wrong yourself."
Qiao Sanli said oh, she still couldn't be as cool as her sister.
This is normal.
After all, she was focused on studying and had no time to spend on shopping and enjoyment.
Looking at his eldest sister, Qiao Yicheng suddenly remembered something and said:
"Dad... there is something I want to tell you. There is a Chinese teacher in Wenqing who takes good care of me. His niece is not very good at Chinese and English. He wants me to give her tutoring lessons. I did not refuse."
Isn’t that Wen Ju’an?
This girl is pretty good, much better than that Ye Xiaolang... at least in the show.
Chen Tao joked: "If that niece looks good, I will allow you to give her tutoring lessons."
Qiao Yicheng felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
He has never been in love since he was a child, and he is really embarrassed to talk about this topic.
But Qiao Simei said excitedly: "Dad, are you still embarrassed to accuse me? Aren't you a good-looking person yourself?"
Chen Tao took the opportunity to educate him: "It's true that dad is a good-looking person, but if a person only has good looks, then after I catch her, I won't take her seriously anymore. Simei, dad hopes you can wipe her Keep your eyes open. There will definitely be many men in the future who, for various purposes, will try to pursue you and take advantage of you. You have to learn to see through a person's true nature, and don't be stupid all day long just by reading those romances. Novel. You are unreasonable and I am ruthless; you are full and I am almost overflowing. It sounds like the cerebellum is underdeveloped, the brain is completely underdeveloped, and the brainstem is missing. And for such a big head, except for Water is a mess of unrealistic love fantasies that think they are beautiful, but are actually stupid and messy..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Simei quickly covered his mouth, blushing and said:
"Stop scolding, stop scolding, people are almost calling you stupid, why don't I not see this in the future!"
Qiao Yicheng and others couldn't help laughing.
A week later.
Chen Tao bought a store near Nanjing Normal University and started to renovate it.
The specific decoration plan is naturally based on future generations.
With the blessing of Qian's ability, the renovation progress is very gratifying.
It will be officially open for business in two and a half months at most.
During this period of time, Chen Tao also had to put some thought into teaching Qiao Erqiang.
What makes Chen Tao feel relieved is that his second son has poor academic performance, but he is extremely talented in cooking and can often draw inferences from one instance to another.
It's really a waste of talent to let him work as a lathe.
This afternoon.
Qiao Yicheng rode to Wen's house.
In the living room.
Wen Xue sat on the sofa and looked seriously at Qiao Yicheng on the chair opposite.
The sun shines through the window, leaving mottled shadows on the brown floor.
The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward for a while.
five minutes later.
Wen Xue went upstairs, and after getting her daughter's consent, she returned to the stairs and called Qiao Yicheng to go upstairs.
Qiao Yicheng was a little nervous.
It's not because of Wen's family background, but because he's about to face a female student.
In addition, he was also a little worried that if he failed to teach well, he would feel sorry for Teacher Wen.
On the second floor, Wen Ju'an's bedroom.
"Hello, I'm Qiao Yicheng."
Facing Wen Ju'an's back, Qiao Yicheng took the initiative to say hello.
"..."
Wen Ju'an turned his head, looked at him, and said nothing.
Since she didn't say anything, in the eyes of her mother Wen Xue, she agreed.
So, Wen Xue said:
"Xiao Qiao, Ju'an, you start class!"
Wen Ju'an still had no objection.
Wen Xue was immediately relieved and turned around to prepare the fruit.
Qiao Yicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became a little nervous again.
Because he thought of what his father said that night.
Wen Ju'an had fair skin, big and lively eyes, and a youthful and beautiful appearance that made him dare not look at her more.
After thirty seconds of silence, he saw that Wen Ju'an was still reluctant to speak, so he finally couldn't help but talk:
"Hello, I am a student of Teacher Wen Qinghua, and he introduced me here. He told me about your general situation. I want to learn the present perfect tense today..."
He talked for a long time, but Wen Ju'an just replied:
"What's the use of learning this? I'm from China, so I don't want to learn English."
Qiao Yicheng was stunned for a moment, and then advised with some envy:
"Once you learn English, you can travel abroad! Just like my dad, he learned English secretly without telling us, and he has almost traveled all over the world in the past few years."
Wen Ju'an couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your dad is learning English, why should he hide it from you?"
Qiao Yicheng smiled and asked, "Have you ever heard of the saying 'You have to work hard secretly and then surprise everyone'?"
Wen Ju'an nodded: "It was written by my favorite writer Guan Hai."
"He's my dad."
"ah?"
