Chapter 31: The Atrium Dinner (Second Watch.) Ask for collection, ask for recommendation~~)
In the same evening, a meeting was also taking place in the atrium.
The front yard is the faΓ§ade, which is used to deal with foreign affairs, receive foreign guests, and is mostly the place where people in the house work.
The land of the back garden, the flowing water rockery, the martial arts tour spring, the ancestor sacrifice, the grand competition, half for the garden and half wild fun, exclusively for the master to play and relax.
The atrium, between the front yard and the back garden, is in the middle of the 95 year, is the place where the owner's family lives and activities, both the front yard is neat, and the back garden is elegant, only to be at ease.
At this moment, in the restaurant, the Qin family sat one after another.
Coarse tea and light rice, old rice and old grain, the right to fill a meal. Although there is no half of the fishy meat, but everyone eats very cherished, even the brothers Qin Xingwen and Qin Xingwu, who are sitting at the bottom, do not waste rice, and at the end of a bowl of boiled water soaked in five or six rice, it is a bowl of porridge, and the brothers drank happily.
Hiss!
The smell of meat wafted in, and the two little guys drooled, but they drank the clear soup and fresh water even harder.
The adults at the table couldn't help but swallow their saliva, since they came to this Fuping Town for more than a month, they haven't eaten meat for a long time, although the military family can endure any hardship, but instinct is the most difficult to tame in the end.
"I'm sorry for you. One by one, they are fighting on the battlefield, and they have not enjoyed half of the glory and wealth, but they have eaten one stubble after another. β
On the square table, the old man on the left side of the main seat slowly chewed a coarse grain steamed bun, chewing the grain skin from time to time, but looking at the children and grandchildren on both sides, the bitterness in the old man's heart was even worse, all kinds of tastes gathered on the tip of the tongue, sour in the eyes, disturbed in the heart.
The gray hair seems to be even paler, the wrinkles of the ravines are becoming more and more pale, and the back that has always been majestic and straight is slightly depressed.
As the head of the family, Qin Ye knew that all this was given by Emperor Gou, not his fault, but in the face of his wife and children, he was also tender and tender, and Zheng Zheng was sad early.
However, he is not a mortal in the end, after a long time of life and death, sadness can no longer shake his will, swallowing a large piece of the nest head, suppressing all the pain and pain in his heart.
"This bit of shredded meat is for your second sister-in-law. It is about to be produced, and oil and water cannot be missing. Qin Yechao gave orders to the two daughters who were carrying the food, and watched the aroma of the meat go farther and farther, and everyone was lost for no reason.
Especially Qin Da's daughter-in-law, Ji Lingyun, knew that this meat could only be given to Lu Feiyan to eat, but looking at the two and a half children who were really drooling, she was still a little unhappy.
The youngest one in his own family is only five years old. When you are a grandfather, you don't give much to your child, even if you let him taste it, it's good, and it won't affect anything.
It's a pity that she already understands the righteousness, and she knows that the rules of the Qin family are extremely heavy, so she can't stand it.
"Lingyun, don't complain about the old man, when the days are easy, my mother will compensate you for your mother-in-law. Also as a woman, Xiao Youniang naturally knew what her daughter-in-law was thinking, so she immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked her eldest daughter-in-law for forgiveness in shame.
If it weren't for this incident, she would never have thought that she would bow to her juniors.
"Mother, you're serious. Look at these two boys, they grow meat in their draft, but you can't get used to them anymore. Ji Lingyun got the words of the old woman, and the trace of energy in her heart had long since disappeared, and immediately snatched the bowls of her two sons, and scolded with a smile: "Look, you have gained weight again for a while, and your grandparents spoil you too much." β
Qin Da shook his daughter-in-law's soft without a trace, but was thrown away by Ji Lingyun with a red face, but the husband and wife had the same heart, they both felt each other's love, and even the two little ones who had nothing to do looked at it and smiled sweetly.
Qin Xin is not sitting, and it is not good to stand up, a generation of Confucian generals who can speak well on weekdays, but at this moment, he can only bow to his brother and sister-in-law and sit down silently.
On the main seat, Qin Ye and his wife glanced at each other, but smiled with satisfaction.
"You're all good boys. Don't worry, as long as you have my old bones for a day, you won't suffer. Qin Ye drank a big bowl of noodle soup, and suddenly every pore in his body became full, so he cleared his throat with this heat, and got back to the point: "The house leak happened to rain overnight, and just last night, the three hundred taels of silver that our family was preparing to come to the New Year lost its body." β
It just so happened that the two sisters, Qin Ya and Qin Xiang, walked in, and just heard their father say that the silver was stolen.
"Daddy, are you discussing the matter of catching the thief behind your back, do you suspect that our sister will not be able to take the silver?" Qin Xiang flashed her big eyes, jumped up and grabbed her father's arm with a clever smile, and pretended to be unhappy.
Qin Ya, who was older, sat back very ladylikely, pretending to make a grimace to shame her little sister.
"You kid, the older you get, the more you lose your shape, why don't the rules of our old Qin family work on you? Xiao Youniang said harshly, but anyone could see the doting in and out of her words.
"Hmph, you old birthday stars, you like to watch your daughter being bullied. Qin Xiang twisted her waist and walked to the original seat with a snort: "If your daughter is really bullied one day, see if you can laugh or not." β
After sitting down, he rolled his eyes again, and reached out to take the hands of his two nephews: "Come, my little aunt will tell you, the little brother in my aunt's belly will be born soon." Therefore, in order for the little brother to have milk to eat, the meat can only be fed to the little brother in the belly through the aunt's mouth for the time being. You're not going to grab meat from your little brother, are you?"
Qin Xingwu immediately shook his head firmly: "No." When my little brother grows up, I can spank his ass. β
Qin Xingwen asked in confusion: "But, how is the little brother going to come out......?
Then, he was covered by his mother and sat aside.
Qin Ya glanced at her sister with disgust, blushing and turning her head to the other side.
"Ahem!"
Qin Ye shook his head and coughed heavily: "Today's ancestor has already taught the method of catching thieves, and the second child has already made a plan for this matter, and then Xin'er will personally deploy it." β
Seeing Qin Xin nodding his head, Qin Yecai looked around at everyone again: "Now, what I want to say is: our Qin family has no money, and we don't even have a place to borrow. Tell me, is there any way to support the beginning of spring?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, looking shocked and incredulous.
In such a serious situation, except for Xiao Youniang, these children and grandchildren obviously did not expect it, they thought that the three hundred taels were just the expenses of the New Year, but they had thought that it was all the living expenses.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief! Catch that little thief, take it back with the profit, and sell the little thief for money by the way!" Qin Xiang was the first to speak, and stood up excitedly, this was really excited, and the hatred for the unknown thief exploded in an instant.
"The ancestor said that the money had been spent, and the thief might not be able to sell it. Qin Xin rejected the first proposal in one sentence.
Qin Ying, who hadn't found a chance to speak for a long time, gritted her teeth, and finally said, "Dad, according to me, you can let our brothers go out hunting! β
"No, it doesn't. Your grandfather is not yet an anniversary, how can he do such an unkind thing?" Before Qin Ye could speak, Xiao Youniang vetoed it.
If there is something that hurts the peace of the heavens, it cannot be carried out within the anniversary, which is also an old rule. Otherwise, you will be accused of unfilial piety and will not be able to raise your head.
Qin Ya wanted to propose to do some small business on the commercial street in front of the house, but as soon as she heard the old mother's words, she didn't need to mention it directly. Naturally, this kind of thing is not something that people like them should do.
For a while, the scene fell silent, and no one spoke anymore.
After a long time, Ji Lingyun finally gritted her teeth, stood up, and looked at her father-in-law: "Take it out, what are you waiting for?"
