However, she is not the kind of child who is easily impulsive, and she will not go to find her biological father as soon as she hears that he is alive. She was also puzzled, since her father was alive, why had she never seen him come back? Since his biological father is alive and has become the commander of Sanpin, how can he let their mother and wife almost starve to death at home without asking? If it weren't for the fact that my mother happened to pick up medicinal herbs and sell them for food, it's hard to say whether the three of them would be alive now, maybe they would have starved to death a long time ago!

Human nature, she naturally hopes that she has a father, and the loss of her father since she was a child makes her always feel that she lacks a lot more than others, so that after her mother found a stepfather for them, she did not reject it, but was very happy, she was also a person with a father. However, no matter how good the stepfather is, he is not his biological father.

She was very conflicted and at a loss.

She didn't dare to tell anyone about this, including her dearest brother.

But the man swore that he knew where their father was, and that he could take them to see his own father, and even that the man said that the uncle knew the truth, and if he didn't believe him, he could ask him......

She didn't believe what the man said, but her mother had told them that their father had died at the border and that she would not lie to them......

Today, that person told her that her biological father had not died, he was still alive and well, and that his father had also made outstanding achievements in war, and he was already a commander from Sanpinwei! Famous!

Since she was a child, she knew that her father died at the border, she and her brother were children without a father, and it was her mother who pulled their brothers and sisters and little uncle alone, and slowly survived from the hard days of not having enough to eat, and now, her mother has married her stepfather. The mother was the same to her and her brother as before, and the stepfather was also very generous and loving to their brothers and sisters, and now, the two brothers and sisters have grown up a lot, although the stepfather no longer hugs them, he always greets them lovingly and caringly when he comes home, and of course he dignified to check their homework and kung fu......

After speaking, the two mothers and daughters separated, and Aman sent his mother out of Jixiuxuan and got on the warm sedan chair and walked away, only then did he turn back and wash and settle. Lying on the kang, Aman, who used to sleep without a heart or lungs on a pillow, opened his eyes wide and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Qiu Chen smiled with relief, raised his hand to pat his daughter's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well, then I'll wait for you to come back from vacation to help me." Okay, it's not early, you have to get up early to see off Mingwei tomorrow, just go to bed early, otherwise Ming'er won't be able to get up in the morning! ”

"How could it be...... No, it won't! In addition, due to the change of identity and the living environment, the two children of Aman are more precocious than children of the same age, and they also know more about human affairs, listening to the remorse and guilt of their mother, they were quickly relieved, and said with a smile, "After Mr. Laba, I will have a holiday, and at that time, my daughter will be able to help her mother more!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't wait for Man'er to finish speaking, and immediately agreed: "Oh, that's great, I just feel sorry for your three little sisters and brothers today, I don't have time to take care of them all day, I'm afraid they won't be close to their mother!" ”

"Well, I know. Mothers don't have to worry about their daughters. As she spoke, Man'er suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Mingwei can share it for her second aunt, and her daughter can also share it for her mother......"

"I'm not clairvoyant, you don't have to say that about me." Qiu Chen smiled and sighed, raised his hand and touched Aman's cheeks, the tentacles were a little cold, and he knew that the little girl must not have sat in a warm sedan chair, walking back and forth, on such a cold day, her cheeks were naturally cold, and she pulled her daughter's cloak with some distress, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Mingwei Niang is pregnant, she naturally has to follow her mother to take care of her, watching the New Year, and also helping her mother deal with the housework and rituals......

"Mother!" Aman showed a hint of surprise, and then smiled with relief, "My mother is amazing, and my daughter can't even escape her mother's eyes." ”

Qiu Chen raised his hand and slapped the little girl's head, sneering: "Don't say anything nice." Why didn't you practice tonight? Look at you like this, are you going to send Mingwei girl? ”

"No, hehe, how could it be, why wouldn't my daughter want her mother to come over...... I look forward to my mother coming over every day...... Hehe, every day my mother thinks I'm pestering, otherwise I'll stick to my mother's side every day! Man'er was uncomfortable for a moment, but in an instant, he was lively and smart, and his small mouth was like smearing honey, and sweet words came to him.

"Why, Man'er doesn't want to see his mother?" Qiu Chen couldn't help but smile and asked, with a slight hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Mother...... Why are you here? After all, Man'er had kung fu in his body, and he didn't really bump into Qiu Chen, and he noticed it from a dozen steps away and looked up suddenly.

Qiu Chen thought about it in his heart, and roughly guessed the reason, so he stopped, raised his hand to signal the little girl to silence, and she stood under the corridor of Jixiuxuan and waited for the little girl with a lost and depressed expression to bump into herself.

As soon as he glanced at it, Qiu Chen could see that he was not dealing with it. If she is practicing, the little girl should wear clothes and pants for practicing, and her cheeks should be red and her sideburns should be sweaty...... The main thing is that after each practice, although the little girl is tired, she is very energetic, her face is red and her eyes are black and bright, unlike at this time, the whole person is listless, and she is wearing a leather hand tube and a pleated long skirt...... It's not like practicing, it's like encountering something unpleasant.

Ah Man was not in the house, Qiu Chen thought that the little girl had gone to practice, and he didn't go to his heart, so he turned around and made sure that the grandmother girls were serving with all their hearts, and they were relieved that everything was clean and properly, and he was about to turn around and go back, but he saw Ah Man pouting and lowering his head and slowly entering Jixiuxuan.

Brother Yun's house was thoughtful, Qiu Chen went to Ah Fu and Jun Yan Junzhang's house to see, and finally went to Jixiu Xuan, where Ah Man lived.

"Yes, thank you, Madame!" The oriole kowtowed happily in thanksgiving. The Wang family next to him also looked envious, only Wang looked at Li'er, and then at Mrs., his mouth moved and he couldn't say anything, but he just looked at Li'er's eyes with a faint pity.

Qiu Chen smiled, closed the book in his hand, put it on the edge of the kang casually, got up with a smile and said, "In this case, you clean up and go to my house early tomorrow to obey orders!" ”

Li'er's face was overjoyed, and she quickly kowtowed: "Thank you Madame for the compliment!" ”

Brother Yun, but he has already sealed the prince of Jingbei Hou, so it's no wonder that some people crossed Ah Fu and paid attention to Brother Yun. Mama Lin's maiden niece, I don't know, does Mama Lin mean anything about this?

She had been paying attention to Junwen Junshu and even Junyan Junzhang before, but she was afraid that some girls would have bad intentions and give birth to right and wrong...... Unexpectedly, even the teenage Ah Fu has not found any signs around him, but Brother Yun, who is less than two years old, already seems to have someone thinking about it. Speaking of which, it is not too much for a girl to be five or six years older than the young master, and the people in the house arranged by the big families for the young masters are often to pick a docile girl, who is a few years older, and can better guide the young master to be 'sensible'!

It's just that Qiu Chen couldn't be happy in his heart.

Qiu Chen took it and flipped the pages of the book casually, and saw that there were many paper-cut patterns in the pages, including the four seasons of peace, a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, a magpie climbing plums, and a hundred durian blooming seeds...... And so on, all of which are auspicious and festive traditional patterns. The craftsmanship of paper-cutting is really good, and the butterflies and birds are a little smart. It is rare for a seven or eight-year-old child to be able to have this skill.

Li'er tilted her head and quickly glanced at Mama Wang, then kowtowed and agreed, got up and took a book from the drawer next to the small warm couch in the outhouse, and held it in both hands and presented it to Qiu Chen.

"I'm just asking...... Bring me your cut patterns, if it's good, there will be more people to cut the patterns for the Chinese New Year this year. Qiu Chen commanded lightly.

Qiu Chen's brows trembled slightly, and then he looked up at Mama Wang with a calm expression, lowered his eyes and raised his hand with a smile: "Get up!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Mama Wang understood, and hurriedly explained: "Madam, Li'er is dedicated to serving, she has a good hand of cutting, and the butterflies and birds are vivid, and my brother likes it, so I called her to the house to serve." ”

The little girl's cheeks were slightly red, but her body trembled slightly because of nervousness, and she tried to grasp the skirt hanging on the ground, restrained the fear in her heart, and kowtowed: "Hui, Mrs. Hui, the slave is third-class." ”

"Oriole, huh? How long are you? Qiu Chen simply sat down on the edge of Brother Yun'er's bed, looked at the little girl kneeling under the bed lightly and asked.

She had seen all the big girls who came into the house to serve at that time, and although she looked a little nasty, she shouldn't have seen them, but at that time, these little girls were all rough girls, cleaning in the yard or serving outside the house, how could this one make the bed and serve...... This is at least a second-class girl's job!

However, Qiu Chen looked at the little girl kneeling in front of him again, and couldn't help frowning again.

Before giving birth to triplets, when Zhang Luo placed Brother Yun as a child, he asked Mama Chen and a few grandmothers to choose a few girls to come in. The eldest girl Qiu Chen personally watched it, the third-class girl and the rough maid Qiu Chen were all discussed by Mama Chen and Mama Lin, she didn't think about it carefully, just took it to her eyes and kowtowed. At that time, my health was too poor and my energy was not enough, so I couldn't take care of it at all.

After being reminded by Mama Wang, Qiu Chen also remembered.

Mama Wang hurriedly replied: "Madame, I don't remember a lot, this is Madam Lin's maiden niece, originally called Lin Qiao'er, or Mrs. gave her the name Li'er." ”

"This girl looks a little ...... "Qiu Chen, the big and small girls in each courtyard, has seen at least once, but what is familiar is the first-class girl in charge of the mother-in-law everywhere, and some other little girls and rough mothers-in-law, Qiu Chen has only seen one time, but he is not familiar with it.

"That's it, that's it, do your job!" Qiu Chen smiled as he looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground. I saw that this little girl was only seven or eight years old, her appearance was immature, her body had not yet grown, she knelt on the ground in a small ball, her hair was combed into a double bun, and two small buns were on both sides of her head, like two small buns. Dressed in standard indigo girl clothes, without any jewelry on her hair bun...... Clear and clear, but a pair of big eyes are black and bright, watery, with a slight timidity, just as cute as a deer.

The little girl was concentrating on her work, she didn't notice someone entering the house, and when she heard the voice, she suddenly turned around, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen nodded with a smile and agreed.

Mama Wang said at this time: "Brother has a lot of firepower, so burn the quilt early, so that my brother will not be cold when he sleeps...... But you don't need to put the iron away, otherwise my brother will be easy to get angry when he sleeps hot. ”

Walking in from the outhouse, everything is neat and clean, under the chairs in the lobby and under the wooden couch in the second room, there are water basins, and the water in the basins is also clean and clear. In the big goldfish tank in the corner of the house, two koi fish swim slowly with their tails, and the water is also clean and clear...... All the way to the back room, the temperature in each room is not low, but it is not hot. The bedding on the bed had been laid out, and a little girl was kneeling beside the bed, holding an iron in her hand and scalding the quilt.

It was just an excuse to find, but seeing that the Wang family had some misunderstandings, Qiu Chen didn't explain, so he smiled and nodded.

Mama Wang didn't talk much, so she just smiled and nodded at this time, and didn't say anything. Wang smiled and confessed a little eagerly: "Madame said this, my brother is so noble, no matter how delicate he is, he should wear it as he is, where can he go casually...... Madam, don't worry, I, I do the work with my grandmother and a few big girls in the house, just a few pairs of little boots, I will definitely make sure that my brother is warm and comfortable. ”

First went to Brother Yun'er's room in the second courtyard, Qiu Chen walked around the house twice, and did not deliberately check, just casually talked to Mama Wang and Grandma Wang, and walked into the house: "...... I came over to take a look at Brother Yun'er's boots, that kid is very funny, the boots are worn badly, and they break quickly. Besides, children's feet grow fast, and they can be replaced quickly if they are not broken...... Don't be too particular, embroider so many flowers on it, it's not necessary to spend time and effort...... You will do the warm work, but your feet will be comfortable. ”

Brother Yun and Ah Fu both followed Qin Zheng to the school field to practice, and Qiu Chen finished cleaning up by himself, and also went to the residences of several children to take a look. In the coldest season of the year, although the children's rooms are well equipped with heating facilities, if you don't go to see it for yourself, mothers are not at ease after all.

Yi Xuan looked at the two little girls whispering in the corner of the room through the glass on the window, the corners of her mouth slowly provoked a faint smile, and then she withdrew her gaze, leaned on the big pillow, looked up at the wisteria pattern on the ceiling, and groaned silently.

After dinner, Ah Manshen mysteriously returned to his house, picked up a jar of Poria health powder made by himself, and went to Wisteria Xuan. Quietly asked people to call out Mingwei and handed the jar to Mingwei: "Every night before going to bed, take a spoonful and use goat's milk to open and eat, eating often can make my sister whiter and more beautiful!" ”

Next, Qin Zheng seemed to be sleepy, his eyes were closed and his wife scrubbed, and he didn't speak again, Qiu Chen was also silent, until he washed his husband, and then called his husband to get up and change into dry home clothes.
