Chapter 23 Bright
Qiao Zhaoshi understood some of Dai's thoughts, but he could not fully agree with her views.
Qiao Yunran and Qiao Yunxi are his biological daughters. Qiao Zhaoshi thinks that when it is possible, he should think longer for his daughters. At least when he gets old in the future, he will not regret his neglect of his daughters now.
Autumn has arrived, the leaves have turned yellow and gradually fallen. Qiao Yunran and his friends have begun to transport dry branches to their homes.
During the holidays, Qiao Zhaoshi took Qiao Yunran up the mountain together. Qiao Zhaoshi deliberately took Qiao Yunran to know more mountain scenery. In his words, the mountains had language and silent language.
Qiao Yunran understood Qiao Zhaoshi's thoughts somewhat. He didn't want Qiao Yunran to become a vulgar person in the future. He hoped that Qiao Yunran could have his own opinions and ideas.
Qiao Yunran looked at him and asked softly: "Dad, what kind of people are grandfather and grandmother?"
Qiao Zhaoshi's eyes were far-reaching, as if he was looking at people and things far away. After a while, he said leisurely: "I have left your grandfather and grandmother for too long. I am worried that I will beautify them. When you see your grandfather and grandmother in the future, you will be a little disappointed."
Qiao Yunran looked at Qiao Zhaoshi and shook his head gently and said, "Dad, I won't be disappointed, they are my relatives."
Qiao Zhaoshi smiled slightly, and he reached out to help his daughter caress the wind-blown hair, saying, "Your grandfather and grandmother are strict elders. One day when you see them in the future, as long as you are well-behaved, they will be happy with you."
Qiao Yunran looked up at Qiao Zhaoshi, and she understood a little in her heart. She looked at Qiao Zhaoshi and said loudly, "Dad, you are the most capable person in your heart."
Qiao Zhaoshi looked down at his daughter and laughed, saying, "The mountain wind is so strong, you scream so hard, don't eat the cold wind."
When the father and daughter walked down the mountain, Qiao Zhaoshi told Qiao Yunran: "Ran'er, don't mention the matters about your grandfather and grandmother to your mother for the time being, do you understand?"
Qiao Yunran looked up at Qiao Zhaoshiqing nodded. She understood Dai's thoughts in this regard. What Qiao Zhaoshi didn't want to say, Qiao Yunran naturally wanted Dai's life to be easier.
Qiao Zhaoshi looked at his daughter's sensible appearance, and he felt a little disappointed. If Qiao Yunran was his son, he would have felt at ease in his heart now.
The road down the mountain is not easy to walk. Qiao Zhaoshi is not the kind of real weak scholar. He also wants to take care of his daughter while walking.
Qiao Yunran is now coming and going on the mountain, and she is also taking every step firmly. She said to Qiao Zhaoshi who is constantly looking back: "Dad, don't pay attention to me, I'm fine, I'm walking steadily."
The father and daughter dragged two bundles of dead branches home. Dai greeted them at the door of the house. Qiao Zhaoshi looked at Dai and laughed and said, "Madam, is there hot water at home?"
Dai nodded gently and said, "I have boiled the hot water."
Dai helped her daughter carry the branches, and she whispered: "Ran'er, don't be greedy for going up the mountain. You should drag less branches, or come back and tell your mother, and she will go up the mountain with you to pick up branches."
Qiao Yunran looked at Dai Shi and shook her head slightly and said, "Mom, you are not as strong as me. You have to do needlework and take care of your younger brothers and sisters. I can do it."
Dai wanted to help Qiao Yunran wash his hands, but Qiao Yunran directly rejected her.
Dai turned to serve Qiao Zhaoshi to wash clothes. She whispered to Qiao Zhaoshi: "Ran'er is too independent. Husband, don't develop her into such an unpleasant temperament."
Qiao Zhaoshi looked at Dai Shi and shook her head softly, and said softly: "If my wife is that kind of delicate little girl, I wouldn't dare to marry you into the house that day.
With Ran'er's temperament, people will naturally appreciate her in the future. She is still young and let her live a few years of freedom."
Dai had a tangled look on his face. After her parents were gone, her uncle and aunt treated her very well, but in the end, how could she dare to be a delicate woman in front of her uncle and aunt?
Qiao Zhaoshi looked at Dai's slightly lowered head, and he actually felt entangled in his heart. If his family is well off, he also hopes that Qiao Yunran will have the opportunity to be a delicate little girl.
However, in this situation, he didn't know how long the safety of Shu City could last. If one day it was in chaos and Qiao Yunran was more independent, he would have more vitality.
Some words cannot be said directly even by couples. Qiao Zhaoshi looked at Dai and said with a slight smile: "Let's go, after we finish our meal, I will teach you to recognize words with Ran'er."
Dai nodded gently. She originally thought she didn't need to recognize words anymore, but Aunt Dai told him behind her back that her son-in-law's knowledge is good, Dai also needs to learn more, at least she must write well.
There is not much paper in the Qiao family that can be wasted. Qiao Zhaoshi told Dai that by the spring next year, he would try to make paper. If he could make paper, Dai and Qiao Yunran would have paper to write.
Dai was very happy at the moment, and Qiao Zhaoshi still said to her very seriously: "Madam, when I was young, my cousin made paper like a private play, and the quality of the paper was very poor."
Dai always had an inexplicable confidence in Qiao Zhaoshi. She believed that since Qiao Zhaoshi could speak, he would be able to make paper.
Qiao Yunran listened to Qiao Zhaoshi's words, and there was a little curiosity in her eyes. Qiao Zhaoshi turned her head and saw her eyes. He shook his head gently and said, "Ran'er, in spring, you can help your father pick up more eucalyptus branches, do you understand?"
Qiao Yunran nodded vigorously, and she thought hard. She seemed to have read about this before, but it was too long that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Qiao Yunran fell silent all of a sudden. Qiao Zhaoshi felt that he put a lot of pressure on his daughter. He whispered to his daughter: "Dad just try it."
Qiao Yunran also remembered some things at this time. She felt that as long as Qiao Zhaoshi's method was right, he was willing to try more. If he didn't succeed once, he would definitely succeed in the end after more times.
Qiao Yunran looked up at Qiao Zhaoshi and said, "Dad, I know the eucalyptus that Dad mentioned. In spring, I will pick up more branches. Dad tried several more times, and it will definitely be done every time."
Qiao Zhaoshi looked at Qiao Yunran and shook his head gently. Dai nodded slightly and said, "My husband, Ran'er is right."
Qiao Yunxi and Qiao Boxuan slapped the side. Qiao Zhaoshi looked at the expressions on his wife and children's faces. He smiled and said, "Ran'er is right. If you don't succeed once, try it a few more times. As long as the method is not wrong, you can always succeed."
