Chapter 3 Eunuch Brother
"Handsome Dad, let me tell you, a eunuch brother just came here and got an annual card~" Qi Yu, a child who kept saying "yes", held a stack of cash and showed off in front of Qi Tiechuan.
In the heart of Qi Xiaoyu, Qi Tiechuan, who does not look particularly outstanding, is the only male in this world who can be described as handsome.
Aesthetics has always been a very subjective thing, and it is not illegal to think that your father is handsome.
Even if it really happens, Qi Yu still thinks that his father can be handsome in the universe.
In 2008, compared with Alipay, which was just starting out and WeChat payments, which had not yet been born, cash and bank cards were still the priority options for people to pay their bills.
Qi Yujia’s “minimalist” car wash shop is so simple that there is not even a Pos machine that can swipe a card.
The reason why Qi Yu strongly suggested that Huan Xiang only apply for a card ten times was that in addition to considering the little brother, she mainly thought that a "minor" little brother would definitely not bring too much cash when he went out.
If you choose an annual card worth 1,000 yuan and you don’t have money in the end, you are likely to only pay 25 yuan a single time.
In this way, the car washing expert is likely to lose one long-term customer.
Children Qiyu, who had been dependent on her father for eight years, were more precocious than children of the same age.
When Qiyu couldn't even do a job as a car washer, his handsome father had to make money and take care of her, which was very hard.
At this time, Qi Yu, who thought she had grown up, thought that she could do more so that she could take care of her handsome father.
"Brother Eunuch?" Dad Qi didn't quite understand what Qi Yu said meant for a moment.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha, yes, handsome dad, let me tell you, today is very interesting."
"I thought the young brother had a surname, but later I found out that his surname was Huan."
Qi Yu was a little excited: "It's obviously an eunuch, but he still insisted on saying that he was an eunuch, so how could he put his surname behind his name?"
"Because of this, scientific reason, isn't the little brother just the same surname as the eunuch?" Qi Yu's child's super eight-year-old logical ability was launched online.
"Brother Eunuch, Brother Eunuch, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Qi Yu's singing laughter rang again.
Qi Tiechuan was amused by his daughter.
Thinking about it, I feel that the smile is a bit unauthentic under this situation, so I can only pretend to be serious:
"Xiaomei Qi, Huan is also one of the hundreds of surnames. No matter what the surname is, it is just one surname."
"When you know more words, you will find that even those with the surname "Sauce and Vinaigrette"
"You can't just call someone a little eunuch, it's very rude, do you know?"
After Qi’s father finished educating Qi Yu, he began to enter a state of thought and murmured: “There was a family named Huan who lived next door.”
"Next to our house? Which house is next to us? Is it next to our [Qijia Iron Shop]?" Qi Yu was a little puzzled. The demolition site nearby was almost the same, and there was no next door that she didn't know.
And if there is such a strange family with the surname living nearby, even if Qi Yu doesn't recognize the words, he must have heard of it.
"Yes, just a little ahead, you have to cross the newly built road. Isn't there a house with an independent courtyard wall there? It's similar to ours." Dad Qi pointed at him.
Following the direction pointed by Qi Tiechuan, Qi Yu saw the roof of a house with a very high courtyard wall from the gap between several high buildings.
Qi Yu became suspicious of the true meaning of the three words "almost" in Qi Tiechuan's mouth.
The opposite was also pushed to the rebuilt city center during the 1990s demolition operation.
The demolition was completed on the opposite side two years earlier than Qi Yu's family.
All the resettlement housing for the indigenous people were divided into Qi Yu's family, across the street.
The plots after demolition did not build dense high-rise buildings like Qi Yujia, but were rebuilt into a high-end villa area.
The house that Qi Tiechuan said was similar was simply a little over the sky and underground compared to the dilapidated three-story building of Qi Yu's family.
If you have to say that there is something similar, you can only say that it is an old house, which looks different from the brand new villa behind it.
It was a five-story mansion with a strong continental style.
Baroque relief, Romanesque cylinders, Gothic spires.
Such a "Wanguo Architecture Museum" cannot be linked to the three words "almost" in any case with the three-story small and dilapidated Western-style buildings of Qi's family.
They are all different from the house next to them. There are villas next to them, so they don’t look like the dilapidated and dilapidated houses like Qi Yujia, surrounded by newly built residential buildings, which are so incompatible.
The big mansion with high courtyard walls across the road can only see a Gothic spire that perfectly integrates into the surrounding new European-style villas.
Apart from the older courtyard wall, there is nothing else to be picky about.
"Not bad~ much~, hahahahahahahahaha, it seems that it's really the same~" Qi Yu said without any confidence at all.
The words of handsome father appeared in Qi Yu's heart for the first time.
Qi Tiechuan's reaction became more and more certain:
"The Huanzhai opposite started to be built at the same time as our [Qijia Iron Shop]."
"After our ancestral home was built, the building was built for another three and a half years before it was completed."
"That family is a Chinese overseas house like ours, so it's almost the same."
After explaining it almost, Qi’s father continued to tell Qi Yu about history:
"I heard from your grandfather that when my father was born, there was still a sign of a civil servant hanging outside the courtyard wall of the overseas Chinese room opposite."
Qi Tiechuan shook his head and smiled as he said, "It's true, it's not a family, so you don't go in."
"Ah? Family? Did our family have a surname in the past?" Qi Yu's young heart suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points.
Even if she is a girl, she doesn't want her to be the same surname as the eunuch.
The preconceived idea made Qi Yu resist this surname that belonged to "eunuch brother" for no reason.
"My sister Qi, how can you say the surname you were in the past and the future? Your surname was Qi before, and now your surname is Qi, and your surname is Qi in the future. How can this change?"
"Dad remembered that your grandfather said that when he was young, he first saw him, and he thought that the house was an official house."
Qi Tiechuan has become accustomed to Qi Yu's releasing thinking.
"Your grandfather also said that most of the neighbors nearby called the house the official house at that time."
It is normal for the blacksmith of Grandpa Qi's era to not know too many words.
After all, that was not an era where compulsory education was already available.
Perhaps because of the hope that Qi Yu would not feel embarrassed because he pronounced a typo, he casually told a story that everyone called the wrong one.
"The adults are as illiterate as me~ hahahahahahahahahaha." Qi Yu's standard scale laughter resounded again throughout the old [Qijia Iron Shop].
For the child Qi’s father, who is born with a big heart, there are only three words that are capitalized and not required.
Even if the Qi family girl has ever been embarrassed, it will only take one second at most.
"Maybe adults are used to it, or those two words are not written in regular script, so I can't tell it?" Qi Tiechuan must have no impression of what he had happened before he was two years old. He can only guess based on what Grandpa Qi told him before, and he cannot give a definite answer.
"So that's how it is. What happened later? How did grandpa and the others know later?" Qi Yu liked to listen to his father's past stories.
"Your grandpa said that when my father had just learned to walk, the owner of the house opposite came back once."
"I have lived with an old man for more than a month and have given many gifts from neighbors."
"At the beginning, everyone was curious about how that family could live in the official house."
"It was not until the master came out to explain himself that it was a civil servant's house, not an official servant's house, that the neighbors realized that the civil servant was also a surname."
Qi Tiechuan explained why he just said that it was not because the whole family didn't enter the whole family...
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha, thinking about it this way, because the surname Huan is often misunderstood, it seems that it's good~" Qi Yu began to spread his mind again.
"Who said no? The owner of that house has not appeared for almost forty years, and it is not rented or sold. If it were not for people to take care of it regularly, it would only be even more dilapidated than our house." Qi Tiechuan simply said according to his daughter's words.
"Where is our house broken? Our house is much larger than the family I have been to~"
"Go and see who can install blacksmith furnaces in their house? Who can have the ancestral [Qijia Iron Shop]?" Qi Yu sincerely believed that his house was invincible in the world.
After only two seconds of happiness, Qi Yu's child's mood suddenly turned sharply. She was a little depressed and thought of something that she might have done:
[The little brother's surname is so strange, he should be from the strange family on the opposite side.]
[In this way, does the little brother really drive over to wash every day?]
【And it is the one who takes turns driving different cars?】
【If not, why would the little brother have to pay a thousand yuan?】
Qi Yu, who has always claimed to be smart, realized for the first time that he might have made a loss-making business.
"Shirtful Dad, our future membership application form needs to be changed. You can't just have people write names, but also write license plates. Otherwise, if there are many cars under a person's name, we will lose to death~"
The card that has been applied for cannot be changed, but a "successful" businessman must learn to stop losses in time.
Qi Yu is upset:
[Why haven't other uncles and aunts thought of using this method to take advantage of it?]
[Because of this, scientific reason, the little brother is definitely not a good person.]
When Dad Qi saw his daughter's depressed appearance after she started a "lose business", she wanted to laugh a little:
"We are not a regular car wash business. We are doing business with acquaintances, so just look at it."
"It's just a little girl who is a movie. When you came back from someone's car wash shop once, you insisted on getting a membership card."
"Otherwise, I won't even print these forms for you."
"Dad, I don't expect our minimalist car wash shop to make any money."
There is no one who came to Qijia iron shop to wash the car. Anyone who wants to take advantage of an eight-year-old girl?
I saw that she was smart and was really clean in the car wash, so I became a regular customer of [Qijia Car Washing Store].
