Adored Koi in the ’70s

Qiao Dong Ying's third relationship ended in failure again.

Although this time, the two of them hadn't confirmed their relationship, but in the eyes of others, they had already regarded them as a couple.

So when the man was arrested, the introducer came to apologize to her, saying that she didn't know that the man was actually a tomb robber!

What else could Qiao Dong Ying say except that she didn't blame the other party.

Her second relationship was very short. The two had been together for less than two months. She didn't tell her family at the time. Still, this didn't prevent Wan Chun Ju from feeling that her fate was bad.

"Oh, Zhen Guo, why do you think Dong Ying's fate is so bad?"

When she was sleeping that night, Wan Chun Ju sighed to her man while doing Kegel exercises.

Qiao Zhen Guo yawned, "What bad fate?"

Wan Chun Ju let out a ‘tsk': "The first one is a spy. The second one is a grave-digger. They were all arrested. Isn't this a bad fate?"

If in the past, once these two matters got out, she would definitely not be able to marry out. Fortunately, people here in the capital didn't know about the first spy!

Qiao Zhen Guo touched his bald scalp and responded, "Isn't it good? If we find out after getting married, wouldn't it be even worse?"

After contemplating, Wan Chun Ju felt it was true. If they discover it after getting married, Qiao Dong Ying will definitely have to divorce. Wouldn't she come back to her maternal home and drag An Ping down?

After she figured it out, she stopped talking about Qiao Dong Ying's bad life, for fear that she would become even more unwanted after the word got out. Afterward, she was more active in finding a match for her in private.

If she doesn't marry out, she will be a spinster!

With a spinster at home, it will drag down An Ping later on. This can't do!

While Wan Chun Ju was planning things out for An Ping, it never came to her that An Ping ran to Qiao Dong Ying, "Second Elder Sister don't be sad. Those men aren't good enough. It has nothing to do with you! You aren't old. No need to rush on picking. If you really can't get married, Xiao Xue and I will support you forever!"

He had asked Dai Xiao Xue in private. She had no objection to his desire to take care of his sisters.

He felt Dai Xiao Xue was truly a wonderful girl. No matter what he wants to do, she can understand and support him wholeheartedly!

When Qiao Dong Ying heard her younger brother's words, she felt warmth in her heart. She reached out and vigorously patted his shoulder, "This is what you said. If I really can't get married, you will have to support me for the rest of my life. You can't go back on your word at that time!"

An Ping replied with a simple smile, "I won't go back on my word."

Shen Tian You was the happiest when he knew that Elder Sister Ying and her blind date didn't work out. After knowing that the other party was arrested and taken to the police station, he jumped three feet high with joy.

Never thought he really hit the mark. That man actually went to do bad things at night!

When did his mouth become so jinxed?

If it is really that jinxed, he hopes that Elder Sister Ying will never be able to marry other men and can only be successfully paired with him!

——

Qiao Zhen Min and his bestie, Wu Kang Bao stopped their partnership. It took from the end of last year to the end of the previous month to cleanly cut off.

This quarrel lasted for more than half a year. The surface facade between the two had been completely torn apart. The last bit of brotherhood had been diminished.

In the past six months, the company was in business. But because neither of them were expanding the business and because of Yao Xin Xin stirring trouble, the company was in a state of regress.

In the process of wrangling, Qiao Zhen Min didn't want the two of them to have such an ugly fight for their former brotherhood's sake. So he took the initiative to make concessions.

But who knew that his concession was seen as guilty conscience. Not only that, he was also required to voluntarily give up all the company's resources as compensation.

He was mad to the point of laughing. He had seen shameless ones, but he had never seen such shamelessness!

At this point, for the sake of his wife and his own innocence, he can only continue to fight.

Although the process was wretched, fortunately it was finally over!

"Starting tomorrow, I can finally stop coming to this place!"

Qiao Zhen Min stood at the door of the company, looked up at the words ‘Anshun Transportation Company', and sighed.

When they came to Nanshan County to set up a company, they were so high-spirited and had such a good relationship. Never thought it would reach this point in the end. People could only lament how unpredictable the world was!

Chu Sheng Mei was also very emotional: "We stayed for a good few years. Never expect us to leave in this way."

"Forget it, let's go!" Qiao Zhen Min looked away. When he was about to turn around, he saw Wu Kang Bao and Yao Xin Xin walking out of the company.

Wu Kang Bao felt a little conflicted when he saw Qiao Zhen Min and Chu Sheng Mei.

In the past two days, he kept thinking about everyone's struggle together and suddenly became a little confused- wondering if it was right for him to do this.

He opened his mouth to greet and ease the relationship. But before he could speak, Yao Xin Xin who was beside him spoke.

"Hey, why haven't you left yet? It can't be that you want to seek trouble with Elder Brother Kang Bao again?"

Yao Xin Xin held Wu Kang Bao's arm and looked at them with disdain.

When Qiao Zhen Min heard this, he didn't bother to talk to her at all.

Instead, he looked at Wu Kang Bao and said, "For this kind of woman, it's worth giving up our many years of brotherhood? I hope you won't regret it in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged Chu Sheng Mei away without waiting for Wu Kang Bao to answer.

Wu Kang Bao watched their backs as they depart. He recalled their happy past and suddenly felt depressed.

But Yao Xin Xin pushed him at this time. She stomped her feet and said: "Elder Brother Kang Bao, listen to what he say about me? What does he mean by a woman like me? What's wrong with me? Is it because I protect Brother Kang Bao that they think I'm a bad woman? I feel aggrieved!"

When Wu Kang Bao heard this, the feeling of guilt and regret was instantly overwritten again.

That's right. In conclusion, they excluded Yao Xin Xin like this because they were afraid that the company would have one more of his people. So what was the brotherhood?

Thinking of this, he stopped looking at Qiao Zhen Min and focused on coaxing his sweetheart.

Qiao Dong Wan and little Mi Bao were sent ahead to the capital during the summer vacation. Qiao Zhen Min and Chu Sheng Mei went by themselves.

Before they came to the capital, he had asked his second brother to help them rent a place near the courtyard dwelling.

The courtyard dwelling belonged to Da Qiao. During the summer vacation, Qiao Dong Wan and little Mi Bao can live there for a short period of one or two months. But now their family of four wanted to live there long-term. So they don't have the cheek to live there.

When the couple arrived in the capital, they rested a few days before diving into their busy work life.

Qiao Zhen Min felt anger stifled in his heart. He must make some achievements!

And let Wu Kang Bao and Yao Xin Xin know that he, Qiao Zhen Min definitely didn't need to rely on Wu Kang Bao to get to where he was today!

——

Qiao Zhen Jun's store was thriving and prospering. It had aroused the envy of many people.

At first some people saw that they weren't from this city and wanted to unite and bully them. But before they could do anything, those people got warned off.

Because of Huo Family and Mao Family's protection, second branch quickly gained a firm foothold in the capital.

In August, old Mrs. Mao passed away at the age of 85.

It was a joyful mourning for an elderly to live to such an old age. Although Mao Family was very sad, they have no regrets.

In the past eight years, the children and grandchildren have been filial and there was no physical illness. Old Mrs. Mao lived happily and passed away peacefully.

When the funeral was held, everyone from Qiao Family attended.

Knowing that old Mrs. Mao had left, Da Qiao felt very sad.

Da Qiao liked this old lady. Every time she goes to Mao's house, old Mrs. Mao liked to hold her hand and remarked that she was a blessed girl. Da Qiao also liked to tell some jokes to make her happy. When old Mrs. Mao smiled, it was always very hearty. It was from ear to ear.

Old Mrs. Mao also liked to take out all the delicious things at home to entertain her, saying that girls looked better when plumper.

Thinking of not being able to see that kind face again in the future, her heart was empty.

When Mao Family saw Da Qiao like this, they felt even more and more in their heart that she was a good child who valued affection.

Among the inheritance left by old Mrs. Mao, one was left to Da Qiao- a set of valuable jewelry.

It went without saying Da Qiao refused to accept such an expensive gift.

However, Mao Family insisted that she must accept it, saying that it was left to her by old Mrs. Mao. And they, as descendants, cannot take it back. Otherwise it would be unfilial!

Da Qiao had no choice but to accept the jewelry. Then she gave Mao Family a bottle of pills. After Mao Family got the pills, they felt that they were the ones who had benefited.

Although they didn't know the ingredients of the pill, they knew that it was definitely not something that can be bought with a set of jewelry!

After leaving Mao's house, Qiao Zhen Jun was called by Huo Hua Qing to his study.

As soon as Qiao Zhen Jun entered the study, he went straight to the point: "Elder Huo, is there news about that surnamed Qin?"

This surnamed Qin was referring to Dong Lin's biological father, Qin Dong.

When Qin Dong was in the production team, he wasn't actually called by this name. It was Qin Wen You. He only changed his name after faking death. Don't know what he was thinking, to actually change into something similar to his son!

It was laughable!

Huo Hua Qing sat down on the fragrant rosewood chair, nodded, and answered: "Yes. After Qin Dong went to the small county town, he got together with a married young woman over there. It was discovered and Qin Dong's legs were broken. It was heard that he will be a cripple after he recovers!"

In fact, there was one thing he didn't say. That was, Qin Dong was impotent in the future!

"What about his job? Is it gone? Does he want to go back to the capital?"

Qiao Zhen Jun didn't care if Qin Dong would become a lame man. He was only worried about whether he would come back to the capital and whether he would come back to pester his wife and son.

Huo Hua Qing nodded: "He's a civil servant. It's impossible to keep his job when something like this happens. However, his wife flew over there from the capital and personally took care of him. I heard that they caught a ride south together last month. You don't have to worry about them coming back to the capital."

Qiao Zhen Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

Then he sneered, "He really burned high incense in his previous life. After doing such a thing, there is actually a woman who sincerely and wholeheartedly follows him!"

Abandoning his wife, cheating in marriage, seducing other people's wife. Each one of these can make people put him on the pillar of shame. But such a person had a woman who loved him!

This made Qiao Zhen Jun sigh. But as long as he didn't come to intrude into his family life, he couldn't be bothered with the other party.

What he never foreseen was that after two years, Qin Dong would pass away. It was due to illness. What's more, it was so sudden. There was no time for someone to come to the capital to contact Lin Hui and Dong Lin.

It was said when he left, he kept thinking about his son, Dong Lin. Not a glance was given to the two daughters guarding his bedside. Truly exhibiting his ruthlessness to the last second of his life.

But that is all in the future.

——

When school started in September, Da Qiao was a fourth student.

Among her classmates, some were planning to continue onto postgraduate entrance examinations. But most of them weren't preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. They would directly look for jobs after graduation.

Zhong Kang De approached Da Qiao. His idea was for her to continue onto postgraduate studies. However, Da Qiao refused after some consideration.

She didn't really like finance and economics. But there weren't many majors for her to choose these days. So she just filled in the most popular one back then.

Seeing her refusal, Zhong Kang De felt it was a slight pity: "That's fine. I respect your choice. But if you change your mind later, you can come to me at any time!"

"Thank you, Professor!" Da Qiao smilingly thanked him.

In school, she called Zhong Kang De Professor. When she went to Huo's house, she called him Uncle Zhong.

After coming out of the office, Da Qiao saw Cai Ru Nan rushing towards her.

"Oh, I finally found you!" Cai Ru Nan said anxiously while holding her hand.

Da Qiao was slightly surprised: "What's the matter? Why do you look so anxious?"

Cai Ru Nan looked around and felt that this wasn't a good place to talk. So she pulled her to the stone bench downstairs and sat down.

Then she said with a blushed face, "Da Qiao, Han Hai's parents want to see me. I'm so nervous!"

Da Qiao turned her head slightly and replied, "Then go and meet them. They won't eat you!"

According to her understanding, Tang Han Hai's parents had always wanted to see Cai Ru Nan, but Cai Ru Nan didn't want to get engaged to Tang Han Hai. So she never went home with him.

Now the two had been in a stable relationship for more than two years and Tang Han Hai had also passed everyone's test.

At first, everyone wasn't optimistic about Tang Han Hai. Even his own dad thought that he wouldn't be able to maintain his active work style for long, but he did.

For more than two years, he went to work on time every day. Now he can be regarded as the second in command in the factory. Even his underlings had changed their ways.

Cai Ru Nan had brought Tang Han Hai home during the summer vacation and got the approval of her parents. Only then could the two continue their relationship.

Cai Ru Nan squished her face, disfiguring her facial features: "Look at my face. Look at the way I dress. If I'm as good-looking as you, I wouldn't worry. But the point is that I look like a tomboy. What if his parents don't like me?"

At the beginning of the relationship Cai Ru Nan was blooming under Tang Han Hai's love. She did make a lot of changes. She grew her hair and wore dresses, looking like a little woman.

But in less than half a year, she returned to her original nature. She cut her hair short again and put all the dresses in the closet. She explained that she was still the most comfortable like this.

Although Tang Han Hai preferred her appearance as a little woman in dresses. the relationship between the two was him being the one who often got berated. His speech had no power.

Da Qiao smiled and pulled her hand down. With raised lips, she spoke, "Okay, enough with the face squeezing. Do you still want your face? I don't think you need to worry at all. Han Hai's parents should already know what you are like. Since you can bring their son back to the right path, they are already very grateful to you. Why would they pick on you?"

Cai Ru Nan rushed over to hug her and said, "Da Qiao, you are so magical. After hearing what you said, I don't seem to be so scared anymore!"

It was the first time she heard Da Qiao's voice and felt as if she heard the trickling of spring water flowing by her ears. So sweet and touching. It made people feel uplifted on the inside.

Da Qiao pulled her off her. She looked her up and down before speaking: "Although it is not necessary to be too grand when meeting the other party's parents, it is a matter of dressing neatly and making a good impression. I will give you some advice later?"

Cai Ru Nan rushed over again: "Da Qiao, you are so nice to me!"

Before the weekend, Da Qiao gave Cai Ru Nan some advice on how to dress and successfully helped her avoid her figure's shortcomings. She suddenly became beautiful.

Cai Ru Nan looked at herself in the mirror and turned around excitedly: "Da Qiao, you are so amazing. I never knew I could be so good-looking! I think you should make clothes!"

Da Qiao pursed her lips and smiled.No response was given.

She did have a plan in her heart to work in fashion design after graduation. This was why she refused to move onto the postgraduate entrance examination.

Cai Ru Nan followed Tang Han Hai home with blushing cheeks.

The meeting was very successful.

Tang Han Hai's parents had always had a good impression of Cai Ru Nan. They were grateful to her for making their son work hard. Now when they saw her in real life, they discovered that she had a bright personality and a good-looking appearance. They liked her even more. They couldn't wait for their son to marry and come home!

When Cai Ru Nan came back, she hugged Da Qiao again and repeatedly thanked her.

——

When the Mid-Autumn Festival came, little Wu-er was over two months old. He had been nurtured plump and chubby. So healthy and cute. A sight that made people's hearts melt.

When Wan Chun Ju saw little Wu-er, her eyes fell on Dai Xiao Xue.

Dai Xiao Xue didn't go to school after graduating from high school last year. Like An Ping, she didn't even get into the worst college.

Her dad wanted her to repeat, but she would rather die than do that. It made her dad's beard stick up in anger. In the end, he couldn't persuade her.

After graduating, Dai Xiao Xue wanted to go to An Ping's restaurant to help out, but her family stopped her. They said she was too eager and would only make her future mother-in-law look down on her.

This time, Dai Xiao Xue listened to her words. Later, she went to work as a nursery teacher in her aunt, Dai Shu Fang's nursery school.

"Xiao Xue, you and An Ping have been engaged for more than two years. Are you ready to get married?" Wan Chun Ju suddenly asked loudly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone else fell silent.

Dai Xiao Xue said: "I don't want to get married so early. I think this current lifestyle is pretty good!"

When Wan Chun Ju heard this, she anxiously jumped up: "How is it early? You are already twenty years old! You want to marry out as an old aunt like Dong Ying?"

Qiao Dong Ying: "..."

Melon-eating Qiao Dong Ying suddenly received a jab from her mom.

An Ping frowned and said, "Mom, can you stop talking about Second Sister like that. And Xiao Xue can get married whenever she wants. How can you force her to marry like this?"

Wan Chun Ju was so mad that she was about to curse when little Dong Yun spoke out, "Mom, you don't want the new autumn clothes?"

Wan Chun Ju reacted like she was strangled by someone: "..."

Just this sentence successfully made her shut up.

But because Wan Chun Ju mentioned the matter of marriage, everyone's attention was once again shifted to Qiao Dong Ying's lifelong event.

After this year, Qiao Dong Ying will be twenty-four years old. She was indeed a spinster in this age.

While feeding fruit to his son, little Qi Jin, Qiao Dong He said, "Dong Ying, my colleague has a younger brother who is a year or two older than you. Why don't I introduce you two?"

Before Qiao Dong Ying could make a sound, Shen Tian You, who was sitting beside her, couldn't sit still. However, he couldn't stop it and could only fixate his gaze on her.

Hearing this, Qiao Dong Ying thought for a while. She nodded and responded: "Okay, I'll thank Elder Sister now. If it succeeds, I will give you a big red envelope as a thank you later!"

If it was her mom who wanted to introduce someone to her, she would definitely not want to meet him. However, her elder sister was relatively reliable.

And seeing that the people around her were in pairs, she felt that maybe she really should find one.

Qiao Dong He: "Only you would be naughty!"

Little Qi Jin's baby voice imitated: "Naughty!"

Seeing how cute he was, Qiao Dong Ying leaned over and gave him a peck on the face.

Qiao Dong He and Luo Jun Liang both graduated. Qiao Dong He went to a high school to be an English teacher, while Luo Jun Liang successfully entered the Court of Justice with the help of his mentor.

Shen Tian You's face flushed red with anxiety. He suddenly stood up and declared, "Elder Sister Ying, can you come out for a while. I have something to tell you!"

Qiao Dong Ying raised her head and glanced at him: "Can't we talk here?"

Shen Tian You shook his head.

Only then, Qiao Dong Ying stood up.

The white moonlight casted down, stretching the two's figures very long. Qiao Dong Ying stepped on his shadow and followed him to the outside of the house.

Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sound of fireworks and children playing in the distance can be heard from time to time.

Qiao Dong Ying looked at the young man who was already a head taller than herself. Raising her eyebrows, she said, "Speak, what did you want to say to me?"

Under her gaze, Shen Tian You's ears turned red. He hesitated, "Elder Sister Ying, can you, can you not go on a blind date?"

Qiao Dong Ying was taken aback when she heard this: "Why don't you want me to?"

Shen Tian You didn't dare to meet her gaze: "...No reason. I just don't want you to go. What if something bad happens again? I don't want you to be hurt!"

Qiao Dong Ying felt warmth in her heart: "Don't worry, my heart is made of diamond. I can withstand all kinds of blows. But your Elder Sister Ying is no longer young. If I don't marry, I will really become a spinster!"

Shen Tian You was so nervous that his palm was sweating: "Elder Sister Ying, don't marry someone else. Marry me!"

Qiao Dong Ying was stunned when she heard this. Then she smilingly whacked him: "You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? You didn't drink tonight, why are you drunk?"

Shen Tian You grabbed her hand. His face flushed and he agitatedly expressed: "Elder Sister Ying, I'm not drunk. I'm not talking nonsense! I like you!" I like you more than anyone else in the world!
