Chapter 1611

A bowl of delicious bone soup beef noodles must be made with high-quality beef bones, first blanched to remove the foam, and then stewed with seasonings to make the soup. Afterwards, the pulled thin noodles are directly cooked with the bone soup, and some chopped green onions, coriander, and chili are added, which is truly fragrant. Then gnaw on the soft and rotten bone tendons, eat the bone marrow, have some garlic, and drink a mouthful of bone soup to smooth it down, it's truly a great enjoyment.

It was just morning, and Qiao Zuwang, who had just eaten a bowl of porridge at home, was humming a tune on the road. He was off today and was going to a workmate's house to play mahjong.

As a result, as he walked to the intersection, he sniffed twice, took a fierce breath of the fragrance, stopped his steps, and turned to look at the open gate of No. 128. Listening to the lively laughter coming from inside...

"Little girl..."

Qiao Zuwang cursed, then directly stepped into the courtyard. After turning around the shadow wall in two or three steps, he saw a group of young people standing, squatting, or sitting in the small courtyard.

Wang Yan, Yicheng, Er Qiang, San Li, Si Mei, Qi Qi, and the Qi family's Qi Weimin, Qi Weiyi, and Qi Xiaoya, it was simply a grand carnival.

"Good, I said why you two ran over so early, and didn't say to cook for your old dad, is it that you all gathered together to eat good things without calling me?"

Qi Weimin and the three siblings called Uncle, and little Qi Qi, in the gap of holding a big bowl and eating noodles, glanced at his own dad whom he didn't quite recognize.

"Dad, don't make false accusations. When my sister and I came out in the morning, we said we were going to eat at Brother Yan's, you were still sleeping at that time, and you told us to get lost after turning over. It's not that we didn't tell you." Si Mei's little mouth chattered, directly refuting.

Qiao Zuwang hummed, feeling a bit unreasonable. But in an instant, he laughed, looked at Qi Weimin and the others, and patted Wang Yan's shoulder, "You are still the one who knows how to enjoy, I can't compare with you, a life of toil."

"Look at you, Uncle Qiao, you have too many misunderstandings about me." Wang Yan shook his head, "San Li, there's still half a bottle of white wine in the kitchen, hurry up and pour a cup for Uncle Qiao."

"You are the one who is sensible..."

Qiao Zuwang nodded with satisfaction sitting at the table, and said to Er Qiang, "Hurry up, your old dad is hungry smelling the fragrance, Wang Yan's craftsmanship is still the best."

When he saw Qiao Zuwang come in, Er Qiang was already stretching the noodles there, his movements were quite skillful, clattering and knocking the finely pulled noodles on the chopping board to stick to the white flour...

"Hey, you all really don't say, Er Qiang is doing it quite decently."

Qiao Zuwang was laughing, chatting with people in the courtyard, and also cared about how Qi Zhiqiang's body was, saying he would go to see him when he had time, but he hadn't shown his face much in these years...

"Yicheng, how is your postgraduate study? Did you produce it?"

Yicheng had a head full of black lines and replied unpleasantly: "Didn't produce it!"

Qi Weimin laughed loudly and added from the side: "Uncle, it's not time yet, it will be in December, we have to wait a while for the results."

"According to me, just go out to work and earn money early, he's good, he has to go to postgraduate studies."

"Uncle, look at what you said, it's like giving birth to a child..."

Qi Weimin explained to old Qiao what postgraduate studies were, and emphasized the truth that there would be better work, better prospects, and more money earned in the future.

"Yicheng, look at how clearly Weimin speaks. You just say you'll study for two more years, and you'll earn more after graduation than after graduation, what else can I say?"

"Don't need you to say, I have to take the postgraduate entrance exam whether you say it or not."

"Little girl, look, you argue with me every day, you didn't take me, this old father, seriously at all." Qiao Zuwang said unpleasantly, "Weimin, if he had half of you, I would be satisfied."

Qi Weimin winked at Yicheng: "Did you hear? Uncle said, let you learn more from me."

"Can't eating block your mouth?"

Everyone chatted, Qiao Zuwang ate a bowl of noodles, drank a cup of wine, ate two pieces of big bones, his mouth was full of oil and his face was red, and then he walked away with his belly out and square steps.

Wang Yan and the others were left chatting happily for a while, and Qi Weimin took Qi Qi and his younger brothers and sisters back first.

Qi Weimin's younger brothers and sisters also came over with Qi Weimin long ago to play with Wang Yan and the Qiao siblings. However, before this, except for Qi Weimin, everyone still had quite a distance, and they were not close.

This was Wang Yan's reason.

He was famous, and young people were naturally willing to play with him, taking pride in playing with him. His fighting deeds had long been circulating among his peers. Even if there was no heat later, the past events were just there. Without him saying anything, naturally, someone would brag for him.

So even after high school, after the initial period, more and more people looked at him with strange eyes. The school hooligans were more honest. Compared to the hooligans in junior high, the background of the hooligans in high school was higher. Because hooligans from ordinary families didn't go to high school...

However, Wang Yan's fierce record was there, and his background without any ties was even harder. After dealing with a few idiots who were looking for trouble, he was stable.

There was no way, there were always people who were inexplicably confident and inexplicably looking for trouble. Those who were hooligans wanted a name, and dealing with Wang Yan was a good name...

So after knowing that Wang Yan had a good relationship with Qi Weimin, they were brought over bit by bit. However, they didn't come so diligently, and the two of them also had some numbers, mostly coming with Qi Weimin, and only occasionally coming to find him themselves.

With the growth of age, they were more sensitive to interpersonal relationships, and they felt a bit that the Qiao family was not very close to them. Although they didn't feel that Wang Yan had any prejudice against them, Wang Yan was closer to the Qiao family, so the two came much less...

Watching the Qi family leave with Qi Qi, Er Qiang sighed and said: "Big Brother, I heard you are in a relationship?"

"What relationship? Who did you hear that from?" Yicheng directly denied it, then scanned the circle with his eyes and fell on San Li, "Did you say it, San Li?"

"I just said you were staring blankly and giggling, didn't say anything else." San Li smiled, "Big Brother, you reacted so strongly, isn't it that you really have a girl you fancy?"

Si Mei echoed: "I feel it is, Big Brother is the most hypocritical."

Wang Yan also followed the trend and attacked, patted Er Qiang's shoulder, and noticed Er Qiang frowned: "Brother Qiang also said he would work hard to save money for you to get married."

Yicheng's face twisted: "Where did this go, I'm still studying, get married? Indeed there is a girl in contact, but she is leaving, I don't even have a start, you all are excited first?"

So the Qiao siblings chatted for a while around the girl Yicheng liked. After passing this topic, Wang Yan patted Er Qiang's shoulder again.

"How is it, injured?"

"It's just a bit strained, pulled, no big deal." Er Qiang hissed and subconsciously dodged.

"Hmm?" Yicheng noticed it, looked at Er Qiang carefully, and frowned, "Why do I see that your mouth is still a bit blue?"

"Hey, it really is."

Si Mei leaned in close, stared, and looked at Er Qiang suspiciously, "Second Brother, you weren't beaten up, were you?"

"This was when I was moving things the other day, accidentally fell and bumped it. Working in the factory, clumsy, isn't it normal to get a little hurt. Oh my, don't make a fuss."

"Wang Yan, what do you say?" San Li looked at Wang Yan.

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Yan, you are experienced, look at him, was he beaten?"

Wang Yan rubbed his chin: "I really didn't notice before, looking at it this way, it really is the look of being beaten. What's wrong?"

Er Qiang waved his hand to make up a lie, and Yicheng directly interrupted: "Right? What's wrong? Hurry up and say!"

After Er Qiang stubbornly found an excuse for a while, he finally couldn't hold on to Yicheng's big brother majesty and confessed the cause of the matter.

"It's just that my master's partner is a gambler, came to the factory to ask my master for money and made a scene, I went up to stop it, he was big and thick and I couldn't hold it, he knocked me down with one punch. Just this little thing, really no big deal."

After listening to Er Qiang's words, everyone's gaze fell on Wang Yan. San Li said nervously: "Wang Yan, don't go out for my Second Brother."

"Yes, Wang Yan, after listening to Er Qiang, this matter is indeed not big, after all, Er Qiang's master is there, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. Gamblers can't reason, that's a rascal. It's not worth fighting with such garbage, and there's no benefit after fighting, but instead, you get a lot of trouble." Yicheng was also persuading Wang Yan.

It's not to blame them, in this regard, Wang Yan was indeed a bit authoritative. After all, his current peak record was fighting empty-handed against someone with a weapon, and he even broke the other person's bones and tendons.

They were all honest people, and Wang Yan could see that they didn't mean to say the opposite and let him go out.

Si Mei didn't speak, but she was quite eager to try. She had great confidence in Wang Yan, and her own personality was there, she didn't suffer losses except for emotional problems. She really wanted Wang Yan to fight, belonging to the type who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun...

Wang Yan smiled: "No, am I a violent maniac who speaks with fists in the eyes of you brothers and sisters? For so many years, I have only fought a few fights in total. Since Brother Qiang said it's fine, can I really go to the door and beat people?"

"That's true." San Li nodded, then said, "Anyway, don't beat people, otherwise what will happen to my Second Brother's master?"

"Yes, don't beat!" Yicheng looked at Wang Yan very solemnly.

"Won't beat!" Wang Yan said definitely.

So they chatted for a while, San Li and Si Mei went home to do homework, Yicheng also went back to rest, leaving only Wang Yan and Er Qiang in the courtyard.

Watching everyone leave, Er Qiang returned to his room, took out a cigarette, shared one with Wang Yan, and then the two puffed away.

Even though he started working, Er Qiang didn't dare let Yicheng know he was smoking, and always smoked secretly. Before going home to cook and eat, he had to change his clothes.

Really speaking, Wang Yan smoking in this world was brought by Er Qiang.

The smoke rings rose, spread slowly, and then were blown away by the wind. Wang Yan flicked the ash to the ground: "You fancy your master, right?"

"Hmm? No, didn't, don't talk nonsense." Er Qiang waved his hand repeatedly, denying three times.

"Where is your master's house?"

"What are you going to do? You aren't going to beat people, are you?"

"I'm going to seek justice for you, I tell you, Brother Qiang, such people are the most cowardly. He dares to make a scene in your factory, dares to beat women, all because he is a rascal, because he is strong, he doesn't know pain, or rather, the pain didn't reach the spot. As long as he knows pain, he is more honest than a dog."

Wang Yan touched the little dog head that came over.

This was the dog Si Mei raised. Old Qiao didn't let it be raised at home, so after Si Mei begged, it was raised at Wang Yan's. Not only a dog, but also a kitten.

Like this small courtyard, if you don't mind the trouble, raising cats and dogs is quite comfortable. Wang Yan enjoyed the comfort of raising cats and dogs, and Si Mei did a lot of the work, she was quite attentive and loved it very much.

"That's still beating people, you said you wouldn't beat."

"Look at you, I'll reason first, if the reasoning can't be clear, then what to fight? Only if it can't be reasoned, and he plays the rascal with me, then we need to reason with fists."

"I definitely won't tell you, if my big brother and San Li know, my big brother will deal with me, and San Li will hate me to death. Really nothing, just spare me."

Wang Yan glanced at him, his tone was gloomy: "If you don't say it, I can't find it? I'll go to your factory to inquire tomorrow, follow him for two days, can he run?"

Er Qiang was silent, not knowing what to say to make Wang Yan change his mind. Although he always called him Brother Qiang, he knew that Wang Yan was the real brother. Except for listening to his own big brother, he listened to Wang Yan, he himself wasn't someone with ideas.

The only idea he had was liking his master Ma Suqin.

Seeing him like this, Wang Yan continued: "Brother Qiang, if you are beaten, you have to fight back, there's no such thing as whether you are willing or not. You are better to me than San Li, I can't watch you suffer."

"I really didn't suffer, Wang Yan, even if I suffered, my big brother also said that suffering is a blessing."

"Actually, Brother Yicheng is the one who suffers the least, he only suffers for his own people."

Qiao Yicheng understood things early, dragging three burdens, the family was poor, and one cent was broken into two halves. He didn't say his envy of others, didn't say the countless difficulties he encountered in his study and life. Because he solved them all very well, the blood of the old Qiao family was all on Yicheng. He was the most wolf-like, the most ruthless.

If it were Qiao Yicheng who was beaten in the factory, even if he couldn't win, he would at least bite the other person to death, his eyes must be fierce, even if he was covered in bruises, he would die without turning back, this was the principle.

Ma Guo Cheng, the Assistant Regional Commander of Jin Ling, was not as good as him...

It was just that his heart was too soft. Once he accepted someone, he was used to taking on everything and forgiving everything. Maybe it was the sequelae of dragging three younger brothers and sisters to grow up.

He wanted to be perfect too much, wanted everyone to be good, and for this, he had no regrets even if he suffered and was tired. He certainly had times when he couldn't persist, but every time, his mother must have given him the courage and strength to persist.

Er Qiang was stunned and didn't speak, he was thinking about his big brother's hardship.

"Brother Qiang, the reasoning matter is settled." Wang Yan made a final decision, and turned to gossip, "Let's talk about your master, what's your feeling?"

Uh...

Er Qiang wanted to die...
