Qin Yanci was silent for a long time, then nodded barely perceptibly: "Yeah."

After dinner, the two of them packed up and returned to the courtyard.

The children of the eldest brother of the Qin family were noisy, but they immediately quieted down when they saw Qin Yanci. Some ran to their rooms, and some snuggled into Qin's mother's arms.

"Why are you afraid of your uncle coming back?" Mother Qin was very happy: "Have you eaten yet?"

Qin Yanci: "Who wouldn't eat at this time? If I don't eat, won't you say my wife didn't serve me well?"

Mother Qin's smile froze. "That's not what I meant. Your eldest brother brought back a lot of apples the other day. I'll get some for you."

"No, my wife will buy it for me."

The light in Qin's mother's eyes dimmed. "My wife bought it for you, but she's using your money?" Are you stupid? "My wife, my wife" all the time, you don't care about anyone else, right? But she could only complain in her heart: "Fruits are expensive. You two don't have jobs, and you spend every penny less."

Qin Yanci interrupted, "Since we have rejected your and Dad's help, we have our own plans. You don't need to worry about us."

Mother Qin opened her mouth and said, "Hey."

Seeing his son's displeasure, Qin's father tried to divert his attention by saying, "Yanci, how's your review going? Teacher Jiang said you'll be participating in a national math competition early next month. Are you confident?"

Qin Yanci said calmly, "Almost."

Ying Sisi asked curiously, "Competition? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"

Qin Yanci's eyes flashed: "It's just like any other test, not worth mentioning, except that I have to leave home for a few days."

"Are you going out of town?"

"local."

"How can you be so far away from home?" Ying Sisi didn't understand. Would he stay in a guesthouse like last time?

"It's convenient to live near the stadium." Qin's father said with a smile.

Ying Sisi thought the same thing: "Where's the competition? I'll make you some delicious food during the break."

Qin Yanci said hurriedly: "Don't bother, just read more books at home, I will check it."

Ying Sisi: “.” Why did you say you would check her in front of your parents-in-law?

Doesn't she have any dignity?

snort!

Qin Yanci changed the subject: "Dad, I have something to discuss with you. Let's talk in the study."

"Hey, let's go."

“.”

Only the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and three children were left in the living room.

The children resumed their playfulness.

Qin Jin and Lu Yuechun walked out of the room.

The latter smiled and said, "You're back? I just put the child to sleep with your brother. What time does Yan Ci review until every day? He sounds very tired."

Ying Sisi: "Around 9:30." Before, it was after 10 o'clock, but she didn't allow it.

"You're resting so early? A relative of mine is also taking the college entrance exam this year. He studies until eleven or twelve every day and gets up at four or five in the morning. He only sleeps five or six hours a day. His voice is full of energy, unlike Yan Ci who sounds heavy and tired." When Lu Yuechun said this, Qin's mother thought something wrong.

Is it because of my daughter-in-law’s daily nagging?

Ying Sisi smiled calmly. Before their marriage, she would have thought Lu Yuechun's words were strange. Now, she understood immediately.

Lu Yuechun clearly hinted to her mother-in-law that Qin Yanci was very tired and it was her fault.

Life would be boring without sowing discord, right?

She counterattacked subtly, "Why didn't I hear Ah Ci's voice sound heavy and tired? Maybe we've been together for so long that we don't notice anymore. Sister-in-law, how old is your relative to be so hardworking? Ah Ci said he used to work night shifts on the farm. I guess he must have been too tired and ruined his health."

Mother Qin instantly felt extremely guilty and choked up, saying, "He has suffered so much. I should have taken him back earlier."
