Yang Haiyan took her son to the yard, washed his face and hands, coaxed him to bed, and took out the stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting medicine she bought on the trading platform and made it for him to take. The child is still young and will swallow the pills, so it is better to take them by shock.
After the child drank the medicine, Yang Haiyan let him lie down: "Go to sleep quickly, and play after you wake up." Then she began to rub his stomach. Really, this child ate too much at noon, look at his bulging stomach, but this child still feels very proud, thinking that he is full.
After Qin Linyang waited for his mother, he no longer had any worries and fell asleep happily next to his mother.
Baili Village
The Qin family built another house, right next to the house of Qin Fang and his family. It was built according to the layout of Qin Fang's house. They built two houses, one for Qin Shouye and one for Qin Shoucheng. I don't care where they live, but as their parents, I have to build their own house.
Now, Qin Fang and his mother have already moved in. But they are the only ones who have moved in. Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin still live in the old house. They like living in the old house very much. After all, they are all from the same village and can move around at any time.
In this regard, Qin's father and mother also agreed to their request.
After lunch today, Qin's father came to the old house and said, "Dad, Mom, Second Brother..."
"Hey..." Grandma Qin was resting in the house. She hadn't fallen asleep yet. When she heard her son's voice, she came over.
"Brother..." Uncle Qin was also resting. Uncle Qin's family was very rich. Aunt Qin was willing to spend money. The family had money and there were spare rooms, so she bought a maid to do laundry and cooking for them. Aunt Qin could dream of such a maid. However, before she could even dream of a maid, her grandparents came and brought the servants who had served them for three years from Yunxiang County.
Here, I have more servants than the second room. But Aunt Qin is also jealous of me. She used to be jealous of trivial things, but now she is jealous of me. She is already content with such a life.
Seeing several people coming, Qin's father said, "Afang has brought some things from the capital, including beef eggs. Come and get them." Normally, servants could be asked to come for this kind of thing, but Qin's father was like the people in the countryside. He liked to move around, so he came here by himself.
"Afang, really? Why waste this money?" Grandma Qin said as she and Grandpa Qin went to the Qin family's new house.
The house where Qin's father and mother lived was for Qin Shouye. Qin Shouye was studying in the county town. When he got off work, he would come back home. The servants would pick him up in a carriage. It was quite convenient for him to come back home.
Uncle Qin was of course happy to hear that his son had also brought something, so he followed him.
There were several wooden boxes in the Qin family yard, each of which was sealed with a seal from the Beijing Post Station, so the seals of the post stations looked the same, but the seals were different. The seals in front of him had the seal of the Beijing Post Station on the top and the seal of the local post station on the bottom, which showed that the things were brought from the capital and were intact.
Moreover, there was a name under the Beijing seal, which represented the name of the person who brought the things. Among the wooden boxes, there was one box with Qin Shouxin written on it, which obviously was brought by Niu Dan.
Then, Father Qin and Aunt Qin opened the wooden box.
Mother Qin: "There is a letter on this wooden box of Niu Dan, read it quickly."
At first, several elders of the Qin family taught me to read, but when I was in Yunxiang County, my father and mother had to manage the Royal Grain Factory, so they learned a few words. After returning to my hometown, I could only write letters to contact Qin Fang, so I asked Qin Shouye to teach me a few words when he was free.
So after three years, although Father Qin still couldn't let me write, I knew enough words to read a letter.
Uncle Qin handed the letter to Father Qin: "Brother, please read it for me."
"Hey." Qin's father opened the letter.
Niu Dan's letter was very simple, just giving these things to his parents and grandparents, and he didn't think about others. Niu Dan was a simple-minded person, a little simple-minded, and not a philandering person. He sent all the property in the capital, but no jewelry. The money for buying property was paid by his brother and sister-in-law, so where did he get the money to buy jewelry for his mother
However, Uncle Qin was very happy when he looked at the letter and his son's things. These were things his son brought back from the capital. In fact, even if it was just a blade of grass, Uncle Qin would think it was fragrant.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also felt that Niu Dan had grown taller.
Grandpa Qin said, "It's still Afang and his wife who taught him well. Niu Dan is becoming more and more sensible. Look at this letter, he wrote it himself." Although his handwriting was really ugly.
Uncle Qin said, "But these things were paid for by Afang's wife. If he doesn't have money, he shouldn't buy these things. How can he let his wife pay for them?" Uncle Qin really thought so. Although he was happy that his son brought things back from the capital, he felt that it was better for him to spend his nephew and niece's money, so he decided to bring some money back to the child himself.
Mother Qin said, "If the children are happy, let them do what they want. Ah Fang and his wife also like beef eggs. If I like them, why would I be willing to pay for them?"
Grandma Qin said: "But I think they have a good relationship as brothers."
Uncle Qin is a simple and honest person.
Compared to Niu Dan's stuff, which was only one wooden box, Qin's father had more stuff, five wooden boxes. After all the wooden boxes were unpacked, a letter was found on one of the wooden boxes. Qin's mother was very excited when she saw the letter, and she shouted to Qin's father, "Hurry up and read the letter, and see what Afang and his wife wrote?"
Father Qin was also happy, and was anxious: "Wait, wait, wait..."
Qin's father wrote much more in his letter than Niu Dan. He first wrote about the situation in the capital, asking them not to worry. He also wrote about the birth of some children, asking Qin's mother to send some to her maternal family. Finally, he wrote about the cloth and jewelry that Yanyan gave to her and her grandmother. He also wrote clearly which one was hers and which one was her grandmother's.
When Qin's mother saw that these properties were specially prepared for her parents' home, she was happy. Her husband's family was getting better and better, but her parents' home was still the same, so of course she was worried. But when she saw that her son and daughter-in-law did not look down on her parents' home and still remembered to buy things for her parents' home, she felt differently.
Grandma Qin was also happy. As for the grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law buying things for their in-laws, she would take care of it. This was the money of the grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law. No matter how big it was, it was the duty of the grandchildren to honor their grandmother. And, look at the grandchildren-in-law, she even bought her things that people in the capital wore. Oh, she is an old woman, and she is a little embarrassed.
Second Aunt Qin was walking around the village. She loved to brag everywhere. The Qin family had the best family in Baili Village and Second Aunt Qin was the most leisurely. She worked in the fields and the servants did the housework. How could she be leisurely? Her daughter married her nephew from her mother's family and lived comfortably in the factory of her husband's nephew. Her son went to Beijing with her. She was worried about her son now. She even wanted to entrust her son's marriage to her.
In the whole Baili Village, I can't find anyone who knows how to enjoy life better than Aunt Qin. Although they have the same conditions to enjoy life, Uncle Qin knows how to enjoy life better. He still goes to the fields every day. He is the one who makes me feel comfortable when I go to the fields. Fortunately, when the fields are busy, they will hire people. The people I hired are Aunt Qin's family. According to Aunt Qin's opinion, it is better to earn money for her family than for others.
"General Qin's Second Aunt... General Qin's Second Aunt..." A woman passed by and saw Second Aunt Qin chatting with the other women over there, and called out.
Aunt Qin was bragging halfway through. In fact, the villagers had heard her words countless times, but the ancient times were boring, so even if they had heard them countless times, they were happy to listen. When she heard someone calling her, Aunt Qin asked, "Aunt Guihua, what's the matter?" Aunt Qin liked people to call her General Qin's second aunt, which sounded very impressive and impressive.
Aunt Guihua said, "There are several boxes from your bridal chamber that were brought back from the capital. Everyone in your old house, including your husband, has gone to the bridal chamber."
Aunt Qin heard that he was bragging about everything, and immediately ran to the first room. Although the second room had everything she needed, even meat every other day, she had to remember that these things were from the capital. Even if it was the same kind of meat, it still had the aroma of the meat from the capital.
Aunt Qin has gained weight and grown taller in the past three years, but she runs very slowly. Before she even reached the door of the house, Aunt Qin called out, "Brother and sister-in-law, what did you bring from the capital?"
Uncle Qin saw her coming and pointed to the wooden box on the ground and said, "This is what Niu Dan brought us, along with the letter. But this is the money that Afang's wife paid for."
When Second Aunt Qin heard this, she immediately said, "Niu Dan is really sensible. How could he spend Afang and his wife's money?" Although I meant it, now that I had more money, Second Aunt Qin really didn't want me to stare at the small profits in front of me like I used to.
Uncle Qin said, "But, tomorrow when we go to take things, let's bring some money for Niu Dan. The child also needs expenses when he is away."
Aunt Qin said readily, "Well, I'll listen to you." She was in charge of all the money in their family. On the surface, Uncle Qin was indeed better than Aunt Qin. Uncle Qin was a good man. Since the Qin family became prosperous and the second house was better off, people kept asking him for money. When he had money, he would lend money. He borrowed money from people several times and didn't pay it back for a long time. Aunt Qin found out and went to ask for it. Aunt Qin was very shameless. But it was difficult for others to borrow money from Aunt Qin.
Therefore, Uncle Qin is like Aunt Qin, and Aunt Qin is selfish, but she is a moving maniac, and she will move her own things to her mother's house. However, I know that Uncle Qin will borrow money, even if it is his pocket money, which will be withheld by Aunt Qin. In other words, Uncle Qin is now a person without pocket money, and he has to ask Aunt Qin for money to buy things.
Aunt Qin saw that all the things her son brought were food, and she felt hungry. She just took something to eat. She took some dried meat, which was fragrant and chewy, and very delicious. Aunt Qin was also stingy, and she gave some to Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and Father Qin and Mother Qin. But she was stupid, because there were more wooden boxes in the house than them, and there must be more things in them. "Brother and Sister-in-law, what did you bring?" She said, and walked over to take a look.
Mother Qin did not hide anything. With their family's status, was there any need to hide anything in Baili Village? Mother Qin said, "In addition to these properties, there are also cloth and jewelry."
When Aunt Qin heard about jewelry, her eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, come and show me what kind of jewelry it is?" As she said that, she touched the silver bracelet on her hand and said, "Oh, I have never seen jewelry from the capital."
Mother Qin took the jewelry box out of the box. Since they were all family members here, she took it into the house. She took out Grandma Qin's jewelry according to what was written in the letter.
Yang Haiyan bought a gold bracelet and a dark red hairpin for Grandma Qin. Actually, Grandma Qin had a gold bracelet. When she was in Yunxiang County, Yang Haiyan also bought her one. But that bracelet was thinner and had no patterns. There was no other way. Grandma Qin was reluctant to buy a thick gold bracelet. In addition, Yunxiang County was very remote and poor, and there were not many good things. Therefore, the workmanship of the gold bracelet was also very delicate.
But this gold bracelet is different. It is wide and has a very rich pattern, which is what old ladies in the capital would wear. In addition, the dark red hairpin is made of jade, which is suitable for Grandma Qin's age.
When Grandma Qin saw the things, she smiled happily, but she still said with some pity: "This girl is just wasting money."
Mother Qin said: "The child is filial to you, just accept it. Now it's time for us to enjoy our life."
Mother Qin also got two pieces of jewelry. The bracelet was the same as Grandma Qin's, which was suitable for my age. But the hairpin was different. Hers was a dark green jade hairpin with a magnolia flower engraved on the head, which looked younger than Grandma Qin's.
Aunt Qin looked at their jewelry with envy. She thought, when Niu Dan gets married, she will ask her daughter-in-law to buy her jewelry. Her idea is very simple. When Niu Dan gets married, she will definitely stay in the capital. Then her daughter-in-law should buy this for her in the capital.
The jewelry Yang Haiyan bought did not include Second Aunt Qin's share, but the fabric she bought did include a piece of Second Aunt Qin's share.
When Second Aunt Qin got the cloth, her previous sourness disappeared and her eyes were filled with joy.
Mother Qin continued, "We are very happy today. Let's have dinner here. Second brother and his wife can also come."
Aunt Qin immediately agreed: "Well, I'll be polite then."
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin naturally had no objection. Although the family was separated, they lived in harmony, which was a good way to live.
Capital
Yang Haiyan was also very tired today. Dealing with people in Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion was really a human job. Whether it was the attitude and tone of speaking, or the posture of walking and sitting, she had to be deliberate and maintain these etiquettes at all times. That's why she resisted coming to the capital. For example, now, if I am not careful, Xiangyu County Master can scold her.
However, if she could resist these for herself, she would destroy Qin Fang's "career".
After rubbing her son's belly for a while and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Yang Haiyan went over to get familiar with the bed and then went to sleep on it. While sleeping, she held her son in her arms. The warm and chubby little boy was so sweet to hold.
In retrospect, her son is more than two years old, and she and Qin Fang have had sex less often, mainly because Qin Fang is in good shape and is more frequent in such matters. However, she has not gotten pregnant with a second child so far, which is a bit surprising. Yang Haiyan wants to have another child, a son or a daughter is not a big deal, and she will feel lonely if she has two children.
Thinking about all sorts of things, Yang Haiyan gradually fell asleep.
When Yang Haiyan woke up again, she was the only one in bed, and her son was already in bed. The two-year-old child could already climb into bed neatly. When Qin Linyang woke up, he obediently did not wake up his mother, got out of bed by himself, took his shoes and asked the maid at the door to put them on for him, and then went out to play.
"Where is Lin Yang?" Yang Haiyan asked the maid at the door.
The old woman said, "The young master went to his own courtyard, where he is with Qin Yi and Qin Ao."
Yang Haiyan nodded and went to take a walk around her son's yard.
Before entering the yard, Yang Haiyan heard her son shouting: "Why are the dishes not cooked yet? Add more fire..."
Yang Haiyan was very curious. She heard her son's voice coming from the yard, but she was in the kitchen. What did cooking and adding fire mean? When she walked into the yard, she saw her son squatting on the ground, and Qin Yi and Qin Ao were stewing together. As for the fire, she didn't see it. Yang Haiyan walked a few steps closer and heard her son say again: "Lion head, lion head... Lion head is ready, I like it the most."
Yang Haiyan couldn't help thinking that her son liked to eat meat.
Qin Yi and Qin Ao saw the lady coming and quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello, madam."
Qin Linyang knew that Madam was his mother. He had two names: Qin Linyang and Little Bun, his father had two names: Qin Fang and General Qin, and his mother also had two names: Yang Haiyan and Madam. Everyone in his family actually had two names. Hearing that his mother was coming, he turned around: "Mom..."
This childish voice made Yang Haiyan's heart itch, but when she saw the scene, she asked curiously: "What are you doing?" There was a pile of stones in the yard, a bowl on the stones, and a bamboo board in the bowl. Who hasn't played house when they were young? Yang Haiyan often played with her classmates when she was young. They not only played house and cooked, but also wrapped clothes together to act like a daughter, etc. When she saw these, she knew that her son was playing house.
Qin Linyang pointed at the bamboo board in the bowl and said, "Cooking, lion's head. Mom, why didn't it become a lion's head?" Although the child didn't have any memories, he could still remember the things that happened in the past few days. He remembered that when he was in the Jinqian Restaurant, he could choose a bamboo board and cook a dish. So, he also wanted to cook today and found a bamboo board, but he didn't cook a lion's head.
Yang Haiyan really cried: "If you want to eat lion head, you have to talk to the cook, Aunt Kun in the kitchen. But, if you eat lion head at noon, I can eat it at night."
Qin Linyang said: "I'll eat it, and give it to my mother." What he meant was that he originally intended to cook it for his mother.
Yang Haiyan was really not touched at all. Who wants to eat lion's head cooked on bamboo board? However, she touched her son's head and said, "Thank you, Linyang. Linyang is such a good boy."
Little Qin Linyang was very proud to be praised.
Yang Haiyan took him by the hand and said, "Let's go and see your father."
"Let's go see daddy." He held his mother's hand and jumped up and down.
Qin Fang is still busy with his son's park. This park has been under construction for half a month and is almost finished. In fact, there are many entertainments in the park, such as swings, a small basketball court, a seesaw, a skateboard, and a bumper car park. It was converted from a whole yard. It is small, but it is enough for children to play.
Looking at the small park that was almost complete, Yang Haiyan was quite satisfied: "Once this is done, you can be inside. Do you like it?"
"I like it." Qin Linyang said crisply.
Qin Fang came out after washing his hands. There was a lot of dust and sweat on his body. The air was getting hotter. He was busy all the time, and he was tired. He also sweated a lot. But when he saw his wife and son, he felt happy. "Why are you here? You are dirty."
Yang Haiyan said: "Come and take a look. By the way, why did you let Lin Yang eat so much at noon? Children's stomachs are very fragile. How can I eat so much? I give him a fixed amount of food every day, so I can't exceed this amount."
Qin Fang said: "He ate it secretly without telling me."
Although Qin Linyang was young, he knew that eating secretly was the best adjective for him, so he said in a low voice: "Nonsense, I didn't eat secretly, you bad guy."
Qin Fang said: "Before lunch, did you drink a bowl of soup in advance? I went to wash my hands, and in the blink of an eye you finished the bowl of soup."
Qin Linyang blinked: "No."
Qin Fang said coldly: "Children can lie to me. If they lie, their noses will be crooked."
Qin Linyang immediately changed his words: "I forgot."
Qin Fang laughed. You can tell from looking at it that this is an excuse.
Yang Haiyan watched the father and son quarreling. She felt that if her son got older, the quarrel would probably get worse. "Okay, how old are you? Why are you still quarreling with him?"
Qin Fang: “…” This is really discriminatory treatment. Just because I’m older, can I defend myself
Yang Haiyan said to her son again: "Your father is an elder. When talking to an elder, I can't argue. I have to be polite and be a polite child. Do you understand?"
Qin Linyang pouted: "I know."
Qin Fang was about to talk to his son: "I received a post this morning. Can you guess who sent it?"
Yang Haiyan was stunned: "I went to the birthday party of the old lady of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion this morning. Normally, people who can meet me can meet me in person. Why do I need to send an invitation? Maybe I am looking for you?"
Qin Fang said: "Yes, that's right. It's the young master of the Jinqian Restaurant, named Shi Jie."
"Is it him? For the wine?" When she saw the Jinqian Restaurant, Yang Haiyan thought of Xiangyu County Lady. She knew the plot, so she naturally knew that Jinqian Restaurant was opened by the Jinqian Marquis family. However, this person was the main plot in the story, so she only mentioned him briefly, and she knew more about him than me. But could this young master be the husband of Xiangyu County Lady
