Chapter 705: Calm
With Qin Song and Xu's husband and wife successively settled in the earth, the life of the Qin family returned to the peace it used to be.
The Chengenhou Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion, connected to the second room of the Qin family, all have filial piety to guard, so they are currently in a state of closed-door thanks, that is, between relatives and clansmen who are relatively close, they still maintain low-key exchanges. In the Yongjiahou Mansion, Brother Ding'er came out of the full moon, Cai Shengnan also finished his confinement, and he could return to take charge of the Fuzhong Feed, and Xiao Feng also returned to the position of assistant. The two worked together to keep the whole family in order, so that Niu's family could live a leisurely retirement life very comfortably again, and only needed to talk to his wife Qin Bai every day, take a walk, tease his grandchildren, and be happy like a fairy.
The people of Yongjiahou Mansion were not keen on social life, and the days of closing the door to thank guests were not sad. It's just that Qin An can't sit still, he is a person who is used to staying in the barracks, but now he can only stay at home with his wife and children, and he can only return to the barracks after a year of Qi decay and filial piety, where can he adapt? Fortunately, Brother Zhuang is now over one year old and can run and go. Xiao Feng said that he was busy with housekeeping, and he was delicate and frail, so he couldn't bear his son's physical strength to run around all day, so he handed over the responsibility of taking care of the children to his husband, so that Qin An could be regarded as having a new errand and would not be bored to the point of mold.
He carries his little son around every day, as if he has found new fun. Since birth, the child has been cared for by his mother, grandmother, aunt and sisters. Qin An was stationed in the barracks, and although he loved the child very much in his heart, he didn't spend too much time with him. Now that he is sweating profusely by the child, his relationship with the child is closer, and the love in his heart is more genuine.
It's just that Qin Qian always follows Qin Kelun or his wife to come over to greet Qin Bai and Niu's family, and often goes to visit Qin Hanzhu and Brother Zhuang, so naturally it is indispensable to meet his biological father. He was quite restrained, Qin An saw him, his expression was also very uncomfortable, and he said two words dryly, both as a cousin, and then quickly hugged his youngest son and left. He did this, not to mention that Qin Qian was embarrassed, even the Niu clan felt that it was a bit excessive.
Niu's privately complained to his eldest granddaughter Qin Hanzhen: "Your uncle is too much! Brother Qian is also his own flesh and blood! He hugs Brother Zhuang in front of Brother Qian all day long, and the father and son are so affectionate, but they are not even willing to say a word to Brother Qian, what does Brother Qian think in his heart? Back then, he was reluctant for me to take the child away, as if he was really a loving father, but now? Where is he such a father?!"
Qin Hanzhen was naturally powerless about this situation, but instead persuaded the Niu clan upside down: "Brother Qian has already passed out, and now he is Uncle Karen's son." Since he and the fifth uncle are no longer father and son, there is no harm in being estranged, at least Uncle Karen and Aunt Karen will not misunderstand that he is not familiar with each other or anything. I think the fifth uncle's attitude is correct, he shouldn't have been so close to Brother Qian. ”
Niu Shi said a little sneeringly: "Li'er is such a Li'er, but your uncle doesn't need to treat Brother Qian so coldly, right?
Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "Of course, Brother Ding and Brother Qian are different, my father and Uncle Karen are not the same as the fifth uncle? I even think that Brother Qian can come to our house and play in your yard. It's the same when you send someone to bring Hanzhu over to play with him. As for Brother Zhuang, the fifth uncle is willing to play with him, so let him stay with the fifth uncle first. The fifth uncle is the filial piety of this year, and after this year, he will go back to the barracks again, and it is difficult to say whether Brother Zhuang can get along with his father so closely every day. ”
Niu is right to think about it. Although she loves Brother Qian very much, Brother Qian has gone out after all, and now she is very comfortable in her new home, and she can often be happy under her knees. All the regrets of the separation of grandparents and grandchildren in the past few years have been made up, and she has long lost the strong emotions in her heart. Since Qin An had no intention of getting close to her own son anymore, why did she force it? If she destroyed the family, relatives, and future that had been arranged for Qin Qian, wouldn't it hurt Brother Qian'er instead? It wouldn't necessarily do Qin An and Brother Zhuang any good.
Niu sighed mournfully, but remained silent after all. After that, he didn't let Qin Qian go to the west courtyard to find Qin Hanzhu to play, and basically called his grandchildren to his own yard to meet Qin Qian. The children gathered under her nose to joke, and she was still happy, and the sadness of the past had long been left behind.
The time has entered June, in the middle of summer, every household in the capital has begun to hold a variety of summer fun parties, and many people with leisure and wealth have gone to the mountains outside the city to escape the heat. It seems that the capital is also empty. But these things naturally have nothing to do with the Qin family's several heads. Yongjiahou Mansion was worried about the newly born Ding'er, and he didn't plan to move the house with all the people, and it was impossible to leave the child alone, so he only made various preparations for heatstroke prevention in the mansion, and continued to squat at home. As for the Chengenhou Mansion, there was news that Yao was sick. With her in check, the others were not easy to move, and in the end, only Qin Shutao from the second room discussed with the Min family, and took the children to live in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing for a while.
The people in the second room of the Xu family also planned to go with them, so they asked Xu Rong to come over and ask, but Qin Shutao didn't agree. Because their family returned to Beijing to worry, Xu Rong, who had already returned to Baoding to continue his studies, gave up his uncle and connections there, returned to the capital, and studied under Mr. Liu again. Qin Shutao brought him up, not to trap his son-in-law by his side, but to really hope that he could earn a good future and be worthy of his own daughter, how could he allow him to leave his studies and go out of the city for fun? Although the Chengenhou Mansion has now completely severed the relationship with the second room of the Xu family as it has with the Xu family's room, it is not as cordial and warm as before.
The Qin family knew in their hearts that this might be because the Xu family had passed away, and Qin Zhonghai didn't need to make his mother happy anymore. But the second room of the Xu family suspected that it was because the second grandmother Xu leaked the news that Grandma Xu asked her son to divorce his wife in front of Xu, which caused Xu to go to Xu's family room with illness, and was so angry that he vomited blood, and finally died, so the whole family was angry. They were weak in their hearts, and they were more attentive and cautious to the Qin family, and they didn't dare to say a word of disobedience. Even to Xu's family's room, they were also estranged. It is said that Xu Zheng and his wife followed their father-in-law to the latter's office, and only Uncle Xu and Xu Lan's father and daughter were left in the family, and Grandma Xu was sent to a nunnery outside the city for retreat. Uncle Xu and Xu Lan are having a miserable life, but the second room of the Xu family is unwilling to interfere, what else can they do? Whether Uncle Xu can successfully recover after the three-year filial piety period is still unknown, but Xu Lan's marriage is already destined to be delayed.
The third day of the sixth month is also Qin Jian's birthday. Because the whole family is in the middle of the filial piety period, it is impossible to hold a banquet, Yao's is sick, and the small second room goes out of the city to escape the summer, so even the family banquet has become a luxury. In Chengenhou's mansion, only Qin Zhonghai had a meal with his son, and then let him go back to his own yard to reunite with his daughter-in-law. Yu Xinlan was very attentive, and personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for Qin Jian, although it was vegan, it was also very light and delicious. Qin Jian ignored the fact that he had lunch just now, and ate the entire bowl of noodles very much, and there was not even a drop of soup left.
Yu Xinlan happily ordered someone to remove the light bowl, and couldn't help but show a bright smile on her face. Qin Jian also looked at his wife with a smile, and the two held hands, with indescribable affection.
Qin Hanzhen was beside him, only to feel a little blind. She turned her head and smiled sweetly at her husband Zhao Mo who was sitting on the side: "I want to eat melon seeds." Zhao Mo replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll peel it for you to eat, do you want to eat spiced or rose?"
Qin Jian was disturbed by the warm moment of looking at his wife with affection, and couldn't help but protest: "What are you doing in my house? Show your affection? Can't you go back to your own house to show off?!" This expression was learned from the third sister Qin Hanzhen, and he used it immediately.
Qin Hanzhen snorted: "It's like you don't have a show." If you hadn't shown us off, we wouldn't have had to show us back!"
Yu Xinlan blushed slightly, lowered her head and smiled.
Zhao Mo put the freshly peeled melon seeds into the palm of his wife's hand: "Actually, we are not showing any affection, all words and deeds are natural, every day, it is very ordinary!"
Qin Jian took a deep breath: "Didn't you come to congratulate me on my birthday?
Qin Hanzhen sighed: "What's so annoying about this? Just tell the facts, you can also say it." ”
Yu Xinlan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Qin Hanzhen saw that her complexion had improved compared to when she saw her two days ago, so she was a little relieved, but she still couldn't help but say: "You are really unlucky, you were diagnosed with a happy pulse, and you caught up with the successive funerals at home." Although you don't have to go to the mourning hall to mourn, you still have to be busy. finally finished the funeral, just in time to rest, but the second aunt fell ill, and the third aunt went out of the city directly. You don't even have a helper now, and you have to take care of the affairs of the family alone, if it weren't for the lobby brother who can occasionally give you a hand, I'm afraid you won't be able to persevere. How horrible your face was two days ago, but now it's getting better. ”
Yu Xinlan smiled: "This is what I should have done, where is it hard? After adapting, I didn't feel any tired." Before, my face was worse because I didn't sleep well, but now I'm fine. Good sister, you don't have to worry about me. ”
Qin Jian said: "I was also shocked at that time, I was really negligent before. Now that she has invited a doctor to change her health care prescription, she has made great progress. ”
Qin Hanzhen asked again: "What is going on with the second uncle? Even if she is tired and sick, it won't be so long, and it hasn't improved, right?" Could it be that the doctor you invited before is not good at this symptom? Why don't you invite a doctor to come seriously?" Even Yu Xinlan's face is poor, and the Chengenhou Mansion has invited the imperial doctor, there is no reason for Yao's long-term illness, but they only invite doctors from outside the mansion to take a look, right?
Hearing Qin Hanzhen's question, Qin Jian did not answer immediately, but unhurriedly picked up the tea bowl in his hand, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
