Yang Haiyan was not crying, but she felt a little sad when she thought about the difficulties faced by this man. Women are emotional animals, and they will cry when they feel sad and wronged. But Aunt Qin thought that Qin Fang had a good meal in the military camp, and Yang Haiyan felt a little uncomfortable.
Yang Haiyan buried her head in Qin Fang's arms. She felt embarrassed to cry in front of the Qin family, so she said awkwardly, "I'm fine."
Qin Fang was thinking, what if his wife was seen through? So he thought: "Yan Yan, I'll help you go back to your room and rest for a while."
Yang Haiyan thought that her husband was quite understanding and didn't want to embarrass her: "Okay."
So the couple left. Qin Fang also said: "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, I will take Yanyan back to the room, you continue to eat, don't worry about us."
Grandma Qin: "Hey, grandma will make some porridge for Yanyan later."
Qin Fang: "Thank you, grandma."
As soon as they arrived at the room, Qin Fang quickly closed the door and said softly, "Wife, you acted really well. I almost believed it."
Yang Haiyan, who was wiping her face with a handkerchief, was stunned for a moment. She looked at Qin Fang: "Look at my eyes, look carefully, am I acting?"
Qin Fang looked at her eyes, which were red and wet with tears. He stuttered, "You... you really cried?"
Yang Haiyan snorted, "Can't I cry? My husband works so hard, and people think he eats and drinks well in the military camp, as if he has taken advantage of something so great. Can't I cry?"
When Qin Fang heard that his wife was angry, he panicked and hugged her quickly: "I'm sorry, wife. It's my fault."
Yang Haiyan was not angry, but she felt bad for him and she had to let him know: "Forget it, go and eat. Grandma prepared this meal with all her heart. If you don't go, how sad will grandma be? Go."
Qin Fang was worried about her: "But..."
Yang Haiyan pushed him out: "I'm just sad for a moment, I'll be fine in a while, serve me some dry rice in a clean bowl, I'll make some rice with vegetables later."
Qin Fang: "Okay." Indeed, he had to accompany his family at the dinner table today. However, it was a bit uncomfortable.
When Qin Fang helped Yang Haiyan leave the table, there was silence. No one expected Yang Haiyan to cry. In the hearts of Qin's grandmother and mother, they felt sorry for their grandson and son, and they cared about Qin Fang and his wife's happiness.
Seeing Qin Fang become successful and return home in glory, they have indeed forgotten how difficult it was for Qin Fang to stay at the border for five years. A powerless kid, if he hadn't worked hard, how could he be where he is today.
Grandpa Qin hummed: "Let's eat."
The Qin family continued to eat, but no one rushed to grab the food. Even the children knew that the atmosphere at the table was not right.
This atmosphere, which even the children found boring, continued until Qin Fang came in.
Qin's mother hurriedly asked, "Afang, how is Yanyan?" She liked her daughter-in-law more and more. For a mother, as long as the daughter-in-law is good to her son and loves him, there is nothing she doesn't like.
When Mother Qin asked, Grandma Qin and everyone else looked at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang said, "I'm sorry to have worried mother and the elders. Yanyan is fine. She will be fine after a rest." As he said that, he took a clean bowl and filled it with a bowl of rice for Yang Haiyan. He knew that his wife didn't eat much, so he only filled it with one bowl of rice.
Then he returned to the dining table and poured the rice in Yang Haiyan's bowl into his own bowl.
Fortunately, Yang Haiyan didn't see it, otherwise she would be dumbfounded. To be honest, she didn't know Qin Fang would eat the leftovers. When they were eating before, she didn't have much rice and didn't have the chance to leave any.
Grandma Qin: "I'm glad she's okay. I'll make her some porridge later."
Qin Fang said: "Don't bother grandma, Yanyan is a good cook, she will make porridge later. She is a junior, how can she tire the elders."
When Grandma Qin heard this, she was happy that her grandson would protect her.
The following meal time was much quieter, and no one spoke. After everyone finished eating, Qin Fang went to knock on the door and said, "Yan Yan, you can cook the rice."
Yang Haiyan: “I’m here.”
As soon as Yang Haiyan walked into the kitchen, everyone looked at her. Yang Haiyan bowed to everyone and said, "My elders, Haiyan made a fool of herself and lost control of her emotions. Please don't be angry with Haiyan."
Mother Qin walked over and helped Yang Haiyan up: "This is not your fault, child. It's really hard for you to follow our Ah Fang at the border. You have to take care of his life, wash clothes and cook for him, and worry about whether he is exposed to the wind and rain. My child, you have worked so hard." Mother Qin's voice was a little loud when she said this, and she did it on purpose to let those who were concerned think that her son had it easy.
Aunt Qin felt guilty, so she and Aunt Qin hurriedly took the bowls to the river to wash them.
Yang Haiyan said modestly: "Mother, you are too kind. My husband is so good. It is my blessing to marry him."
Qin Fang's ears twitched. His wife said that she was not acting, but was really worried about him. Then... what she said now was also true, right? Did she really think that marrying him was her blessing
Qin Fang looked at Yang Haiyan cautiously, with fire in his eyes.
Yang Haiyan naturally saw him, and didn't know why he was so happy all of a sudden. She glanced at him and said to Qin's mother, "Mom, I'll go make some porridge."
Mother Qin: "I'll make a fire for you."
Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, mother."
Qin Fang: "Mom, you go outside to bask in the sun for a while, or I'll do it." His wife cooks and he makes the fire, this is how a couple should live together.
Mother Qin, who was disliked by her son, didn't know this yet. She thought her son was being considerate of her, so she laughed and scolded, "Why are you so angry, go talk to your grandfather and father for a while."
Qin Fang looked at his wife a little aggrieved, but she was putting water into the pot and didn't even look at him. Qin Fang walked over: "Wife, let me help you." He had to make her feel more blessed.
Yang Haiyan didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, so she followed Qin's mother's words and said, "Husband, go talk to Grandpa and Dad, and tell them about your five years of military service. They must be very curious about it."
Mother Qin: "That's right, it's not right for a man to stay here alone. It will disturb our lovemaking."
Qin Fang: “…” He glanced at his wife and went out.
Yang Haiyan put water in the pot, took out the vegetables from the basket, washed them, and cut them. When the water boiled, she put in the rice. When the rice was soft, she put in the vegetables. The vegetables didn't need to be boiled for too long, just simmer them in the pot for a while.
By the time Yang Haiyan's vegetable rice was ready, Second Aunt Qin and Third Aunt Qin, who had gone to the river to wash dishes, came back.
The kimchi was still a little hot, so Yang Haiyan was not in a hurry to eat it. She took advantage of everyone being in the yard to go to the room and take out the things she bought today. When everyone saw Yang Haiyan carrying a package out, they all looked at her curiously.
Yang Haiyan packed the package and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, and all the elders, Haiyan has just arrived at the Qin family and I don't know what everyone likes, so I prepared some small gifts for everyone according to my heart. I hope you like them."
Everyone stared at the package curiously.
Yang Haiyan, what you took out of the package were shoes. Except for Erya, Sanya and Siya, who each received a silk flower, the rest were shoes.
The shoes bought from the clothing store are of course well made. Although the shoes are not expensive, they are very practical for everyone.
When Grandma Qin got the shoes, she said happily, "Yan Yan is so thoughtful. I like this pair of shoes very much." She saw that the size of the shoes was suitable, so she said politely, "Then I'll try it on." If she hadn't seen that the size of the shoes was suitable, she would not have tried it on, otherwise she would have lost face as her grandson's daughter-in-law if they didn't fit.
Grandma Qin put on her new shoes and stepped on them for a while: "They are so comfortable. The soles are soft and don't hurt my feet. Yanyan, you are so thoughtful."
Not to mention Grandma Qin, even Aunt Qin and Aunt Qin were happy. Originally, when Qin Fang sent a letter back last year, he had already brought something for everyone. So this time, even if there was no gift, no one would say anything. But Yang Haiyan gave shoes, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Moreover, farmers are not so picky about gifts. When a new bride comes home, they prepare shoes for the elders in the family. This gift is just right. The furs before were not much more expensive than shoes, but in Qin's mother's opinion, they were too expensive and not as suitable as shoes.
Yang Haiyan looked at everyone's happy expressions and had to admit that Qin's mother understood how farmers get along. For farmers, the price didn't matter, as long as it was practical.
When Grandma Qin tried on the shoes, Second Aunt Qin also tried them on happily: "My pair fits perfectly, and there are flowers embroidered on the shoes, which are really beautiful. Ah Fang's wife, look at what kind of flowers are these?"
Yang Haiyan went over and said, "This is plum blossom."
Aunt Qin looked carefully and said, "It's not a plum blossom. I didn't recognize it just now. This plum blossom is really beautiful."
Yang Haiyan watched her happily touching the plum blossoms on her shoes and explained with a smile: "This plum blossom has other meanings."
Aunt Qin asked quickly: "What does this mean? Isn't it just beautiful?"
Yang Haiyan: "Yes, it is beautiful. But the plum blossoms can still bloom in the cold winter, which shows that plum blossoms are not afraid of the cold and are strong. The meaning of plum blossoms is that we ordinary people are strong."
Although Aunt Qin didn't understand what was said, she knew it meant something good: "This plum blossom is good, I like it."
Aunt Qin said softly: "Thank you, wife Afang."
Qin Si Ya looked at the shoes and then at the silk flowers in her hands. She felt that none of them were as beautiful as her silk flowers.
After giving the gift, Yang Haiyan went back to eat rice with vegetables. After she had eaten for a while, she heard a voice coming from outside: "Qin Fang... Qin's boy, you're back, why isn't my dog back?"
Who is Gouzi? Yang Haiyan suddenly remembered that Gouzi was the male protagonist Han Zhen.
