Qin Jinhua didn't get a snow-white rabbit as he wished. She didn't even see a gray rabbit.

It's not the season to catch hares. The Cai family's hunting ground has special people to raise animals, and the snow-white rabbit she likes is also one of the small animals in captivity. If the girl of the Cai family wants to get such a small animal, she doesn't have to consider the season at all. But in the three-room Zhuangzi of the Qin family, there is no such facility as a breeding farm, and if you rely entirely on hunting, you can catch the small animals you want, and the success rate is really not high. Not to mention that the hill within the scope of this Zhuangzi is actually not a complete wilderness, but a mountain forest that the farmers have been operating for many years, planting all kinds of grain, fruit trees, bamboo, and free-range chickens in the forest. There are many farmers coming and going, and the possibility of catching game is quite small.

Although Xu Rong brought enough bows and arrows, and learned the skills of digging traps from the farmer who was proficient in hunting in advance, it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, and he couldn't even see a rabbit, let alone beat a white rabbit to Qin Jinhua as a pet. In the end, in order not to return empty-handed, he had to shoot two chickens with a bow and arrow, one for Qin Jinhua to take back to add vegetables, and the other to take back to honor several elders.

Although things are small, what is rare is the heart. If you don't consider Qin Hanzhen, he later asked people to compensate the farmers who raised chickens in the mountains and forests.

Qin Jinhua couldn't enjoy it, but the uncle and grandmother of the third room, Niu Niu, had already sent someone to ask her to go back for a snack. She looked embarrassed, but she still refused to give up her eyes on Xu Rong in the depths of the mountains and forests, and comforted the other party with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a rabbit." It's not bad to have two chickens to add vegetables tonight. I don't really have to have rabbits. My mother hadn't nodded yet. A few years ago, I said I wanted to have a cat, but my mother didn't say yes. She said that when she got close to the cat, she couldn't help but sneeze, probably because of the cat's hair. Rabbits also have hair, right? Originally, I just wanted to catch a rabbit and play for two days, and then give it to the people in Zhuangzi to help me raise it. When I'm free, I'll come and see the rabbit. ”

Xu Rong pursed his lips, he has always been a gentle and good-tempered person, but today it may be a matter of face, and he suddenly became stubborn: "Anyway, you wait, I will definitely get you a snow-white rabbit!"

Qin Jinhua smiled: "Okay, let's go back quickly." With that, he greeted Qin Jinchun and turned to leave. Qin Jinchun glanced back at Xu Rong, his face was full of vigilance, he still didn't give him a good look, and he walked more neatly than Qin Jinhua. She also pulled Qin Jinhua to talk as she walked: "I think he must be planning to go somewhere else to get you rabbits." As long as you have silver, what is the difficulty of finding rabbits? Who says you have to hunt rabbits with your own hands to give them to you?"

When Xu Rong heard this, his face turned red. He did...... I was going to go to the market in a nearby town to buy a white rabbit and come back, of course, when I gave it to Qin Jinhua, I would say that I caught it. Now that Qin Jinchun has dismantled the stage, he can no longer use such tricks. How can you catch it with your own hands in order to reflect your heart for Qin Jinhua.

Although his parents had a life to let him please Qin Jinhua, he was not completely insincere towards this cousin. The friendship of childhood sweethearts, he has never forgotten it in his heart. Whether it is out of interest or sincerity, he must fight for this marriage.

Qin Jinhua didn't know anything about his thoughts. She returned to the village with Qin Jinchun and met Niu and Qin Hanzhen, as well as her mother Yao, who was invited. Yao was whispering to Niu's Grandma Xu, and she had a little conflict with the other party not long ago. In front of her mother-in-law Xu, she couldn't act too stingy, and the other party knew her thoughts well, and deliberately pretended to be fine. But the Yao family was actually very angry in his heart, feeling that the Xu family was too shameless, obviously enjoying the help and grace of the Qin family, but he still had to offend the host rudely. Is there a more shameless in-law in the world than the Xu family?

Maybe he was angry, as soon as Yao saw his daughter come back, he said: "Xu Rong suddenly asked you out, and I don't know what An's heart is." You're going to be in time next month, you're a big girl, not a child, and you can't be as unscrupulous as you were when you were a child. No matter what Xu Rong says in the future, you can't go out with him anymore. Even if you bring someone with you, and then bring your sisters as companions, you can't do it. If you want to go outside, you just have to go to your brother. Or just don't go out and play with your sisters, too. ”

How could that be the same? Can she play with her little sisters with the flower ropes, the nine rings, and the family wine? To pass the time, at least it has to be Shuanglu? But she has already played too much, and she is actually a little tired.

However, Qin Jinhua would not refute her mother's words when she was still angry, so she obediently agreed. As for whether it will be complied with later, it depends on the situation. Qin Jinhua didn't feel that he would really be punished for disobeying his mother's instructions. No matter how bad it is, her brother will intercede for her.

Qin Hanzhen quietly pulled the two cousins to sit down, and asked them to serve tea and snacks, and said with a smile: "This is the pea yellow made by a daughter-in-law in Zhuangzi, I eat it, and I think it is better than what the cook at home makes." The daughter-in-law did it once, and it took almost a whole day, using the peas and sugar produced by Zhuangzi herself, which could not be eaten anywhere else. It would be a pity if the second sister and the fourth sister missed it, so I specially urge you to come back and taste it. ”

Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun tasted it, and they were both shocked. The latter also said: "Third sister, can you let that daughter-in-law cook more, and take it with us on the way when we go back to the city the day after tomorrow? Also, is there anything special about the peas and sugar produced in your Zhuangzi? The dim sum made is fresh and delicious, and it is not as sweet as what is made outside." ”

Qin Hanzhen saw that Qin Jinhua also looked over with interest, so he gave a detailed introduction to the production of his Zhuangzi. She and Zhao Mo worked together to do experiments, trying to grow various crops in their own village, some of which were planted on saline-alkali land, and some were planted on normal land, including various vegetables and fruits, as well as grains and sugar beets. This Zhuangzi mainly produces vegetables and sugar beets, and the boiling method of sugar also has its own secrets, which is naturally different from the ones bought outside. Because of this difference, her family sells candy at a price of two cents more than the common sugar outside.

Qin Hanzhen gushed about the production of her Zhuangzi to the two cousins, completely diverting Qin Jinhua's attention and making her no longer think about Xu Rong, who had just separated. In fact, after Qin Hanzhen heard the news of the conflict between the Yao family and Xu Er's grandmother, he immediately informed his grandmother, invited the former over to appease him, and sent someone to find Qin Jinhua to come back. The purpose is to make Yao, who is angry, angry with Xu Rong, and say that his daughter is not allowed to have more dealings with Xu Rong. Although Qin Jinhua is pampered, she has always been a well-behaved daughter in front of her parents. Yao's order, she will not easily disobey, at least not to disobey too much.

Soon it was time for dinner. The two chickens with vegetables did not cause any waves, except for Xu's and Xu's second grandmother who praised Xu Rong for their heart/filial piety, no one took those two chickens seriously. It wasn't a rare prey in the first place, and it tasted the same as the chicken everyone eats every day—it was the same thing.

Without waiting for Xu Rong to find something as cute as Cai Jizhen's snow-white rabbit, and to offer Qin Jinhua courtesy, the time for Qin Cai's two families to return to the city has arrived.

Early in the morning of the eleventh day of the first month of March, the Qin family had already loaded the car, loaded their luggage, and just waited for the owners to have breakfast, and then set off to return to the city. The Cai family has its own itinerary, and the two families don't know if they will be on the same road as when they came. However, the two families are now familiar with each other, and when they return to the capital in the future, they can continue to communicate with each other, but there is no need to force them to go together.

Qin An failed to ask for leave the night before, and went to Zhuangzi to have a meal with his parents and niece. But in the morning, when he was off duty, he rushed over to have a simple breakfast with his parents. He also asked his parents to bring a gift to his wife, mainly some medicinal materials for the fetus and body, such as skullcap, astragalus, atractylodes, ejiao and other things.

It is said that he was a new comrade he met in the barracks, and his family was a pharmacy, in Changping, and an uncle was a famous local gynecological saint. Qin An could talk to the other party, so he took the opportunity to ask for some prescriptions for fetal protection, and then bought a large number of medicinal materials that Xiao Feng might use and sent them to her.

Niu was also worried about his little daughter-in-law's fetus, so he naturally agreed to his youngest son's request, and was afraid that Qin An would spend all the silver on buying medicine, so he was short of money, and stuffed him with a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, telling him to only use it, if it was not enough, he would send someone home to get it. As long as it is a legitimate expenditure, Qin Bai, who is a father, nodded, and Qin An can use as much as he wants.

Niu felt that 1,000 taels of pocket money was not much. Qin Shutao, who is in the long house, spends at least 2,000 taels of silver for personal communication in a year. The people of Qin'an are in the barracks, and there are few places to spend, and the consumption in Changping is also low, more than one thousand taels.

Qin Hanzhen squinted at the side and watched his grandmother give his uncle Qin Ansai a silver ticket, and he didn't care in his heart. What's so great about 1,000 taels? Her father, Qin Ping, was in Guangzhou, and he spent no less than that, but of course he earned more. Compared with Qin An, who still relies on family subsidies, her father is really a few streets away!

The next person who went to Cai's house to inquire about the news came to report that the Cai family had not yet set off and might have to leave later. It is said that there is an old lady of Yunyang Hou who wears hair and practices in a nearby nunnery, and Mrs. Yunyang Hou wants to visit this old man, and then leave, she will not be able to walk with the Qin family.

Xu Shi was a little disappointed on his face, and the disappointed look on Yao's face was even more obvious. She asked the servant: "Have the people from the Yunyang Marquis Mansion said anything else?" Have you told the people of their family that the two masters of our family have already returned to Beijing two days ago because of their official positions. Aunt Lu had a social appointment, and she left yesterday. The remaining children are still young, just relying on some family care homes, a group of female relatives feel apprehensive in their hearts, if they can have people from the Yunyang Hou Mansion with them, they will be more at ease. Did you say that?!"

The man replied with some cringe: "Back to the second grandmother, no...... There is no ...... "Yao didn't tell him beforehand!"

Yao actually revealed this information to the Cai family through other channels. Now I don't know if the Cai family didn't receive her hint, or if they pretended not to know, anyway, it is impossible for the other party to return to Beijing with the Qin family. Yao's heart was extremely disappointed, she hadn't been able to hear Mrs. Yunyanghou's thoughts clearly, what did the Cai family think of their son......? Is there any hope of marrying Miss Cai?

Xu coughed lowly, motioned for his subordinates to retreat, and reprimanded his eldest daughter-in-law in a low voice: "Look at you like that! Are you afraid that others won't be able to think of Brother Jian'er?

Yao shut up, and his expression returned to calm. But that was just what it seemed, and the anger and resentment in her heart were about to overflow from her eyes.
