Chapter 52: Returning to my parents’ home on the second day of the Lunar New Year! Interesting things about the Qin family!

It is the custom here to return to one's parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

This year marks the first anniversary of Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai's marriage, so the ceremony is particularly grand.

In order to welcome Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai, Li, Zhang and Wang all chose to return to their parents' home on the third day of the Lunar New Year this year.

When they gave New Year gifts before the New Year, they had already told their natal family about this.

Whether it is the Li family, the Zhang family or the Wang family, they all made a lot of money working with Qin Zhizhi this year and are extremely grateful to Qin Zhizhi.

Even if their daughter didn't say it, they would tell her about it.

Zhang didn't expect that her sisters-in-law had already made arrangements early on, and deliberately postponed her return home in order to wait for her daughter and son-in-law to come back.

"Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, thank you." Zhang was very moved.

"Second sister-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law and I treat Zhizhi as our own daughter. You can't be jealous." Wang said jokingly.

"We only have one daughter, Zhizhi, so we have to love her more."

From the time Qin Zhizhi was born until now, whether outside or at home, Li has always favored Qin Zhizhi.

The two brothers always respond to their sister's requests. Old Man Qin and Old Lady Qin loved them before, and they love them even more now.

"Mom, why hasn't my third sister come yet?"

Qin Qinghui wanted to visit Gu's house, but his father caught him and brought him back, telling him to wait at home.

"It's still early, wait a little longer. You know your third sister doesn't like to get up early in the morning, so don't act naughty today."

Seeing that her son had even asked about the kitchen, Wang couldn't help but give a few more instructions.

It's not that she is nagging, but ever since her niece got married, her son has been like a dowry, basically following her niece in the Gu family.

"I know, Mom. Dad has told me many times." Qin Qinghui lost his passion when he heard that he still had to wait.

The three sisters-in-law wanted to laugh when they saw this. Qin Qinghui was the youngest child in the family and was usually spoiled by everyone, but the person he liked most was Qin Zhizhi.

On the Gu family side.

Mother Gu was busy early in the morning. She cut a huge piece of pork and put it in the basket. She also asked Qin Zhizhi to bring two pieces of fine cotton cloth, two big roosters and some snacks.

Qin Zhizhi's mouth twitched as she watched, and she tried to persuade her, "Mom, there are too many things. Don't prepare any more."

"Wait a minute, let me get some more. This is Jing Huai's first year visiting us, and everyone is watching. The more I prepare, the more people will know that you are living well in the Gu family and that you are valued."

Mother Gu smiled and explained to Qin Zhizhi why she had to bring so many things back.

"I'll carry it for you later, and you just need to walk over there."

Gu Jinghuai also wanted to save face for Qin Zhizhi. He wanted to tell everyone that Qin Zhizhi was the apple of his eye.

Seeing that her mother-in-law and husband insisted, Qin Zhizhi had no choice but to agree.

"Sister, can Zheng'er go with us?" Gu Zheng didn't know what it meant to go back to his parents' home. The Gu family and the Qin family were very nice to him, so he also wanted to go.

Looking at the little girl's expectant eyes, Qin Zhizhi gently touched her head and said, "Of course, not only you can go, but also your brother Jingshu and sister Jingyao can go together."

When he heard that everyone could go, Xiaotuanzi cheered immediately, and even Gu Jingshu and Gu Jingyao became happy.

"Zhizhi, how about mom take care of them at home?" Mother Gu was afraid it would be too troublesome.

"Mom, you should go too. Let's go first. You can go have lunch at noon. Grandma specifically told me about this yesterday."

Qin Zhizhi took Gu's mother's hand, her tone firm and gentle, a sincere invitation.

Mother Gu nodded with emotion, "Well, you go first, I'll go later."

"That's right, we are a family, so I will treat that place as my own home. I will always be welcome in the Qin family."

It would be a lie to say that Mother Gu wasn't moved by Qin Zhizhi's words. In recent years, seeing others returning to their parents' homes on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she felt somewhat sad.

The Qin family's invitation today made her feel at home, and her heart was soft and messy.

"Sister, can we leave now? Brother Qinghui must be waiting anxiously."

Gu Zheng's words made Gu's mother laugh. Qinghui was indeed impatient, and the children were usually together.

We've been apart for so long today, I think he must be so anxious at the Qin family.

"Let's set off now. It's worth it that your brother Qinghui loves you so much." Qin Zhizhi pinched Gu Zheng's little face.

"Sister-in-law, let us help carry the things." Gu Jingshu and Gu Jingyao sensibly helped carry the lighter items.

"Zheng'er also wants to help!" Qin Zhizhi picked up a light object and handed it to the little dumpling. Gu Zheng was very happy.

Several people walked towards the Qin family with their hands full of things.

When they met villagers on the road, Gu Jinghuai and Qin Zhizhi greeted them warmly and openly.

Several children also called out to people politely. The little girl was dressed festively and spoke sweetly, and the villagers were very envious of her.

When Qin Qinghui ran to the gate of the yard for the eighth time, he finally saw Qin Zhizhi and her group.

Qin Qinghui even forgot to say hello to his family and ran to pick them up.

Mrs. Qin called her grandson twice in the main hall, but no one answered her. She guessed that it must be Qin Zhizhi and the others who had arrived.

Mrs. Qin came out of the main hall and said to the people working in the yard, "Stop working and go pick up Zhizhi and the others."

Qin Shan asked stupidly, "Mom, you didn't go out, how did you know Zhizhi and the others were here?"

Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at her eldest son and said, "I can tell fortunes."

Qin Jiang added foolishly, "Mom, you can do this too!"

Mrs. Qin felt that she could not keep her eldest and youngest sons, so she said unhappily, "Go quickly."

"Well, let's go and take a look." As a result, the two turned around and found that Qin He had already left.

Mrs. Qin repeated to herself several times, "I gave birth to this child myself, I gave birth to this child myself, I won't be angry."

The three sisters-in-law in the kitchen were laughing together. Their husbands were usually very smart, but when they were in front of their mother, they seemed to become less smart.

"Second sister-in-law, go and comfort mother quickly, so that she won't be angry with her husband."

Wang didn't dare to go alone. Thinking of her husband's words, "Mom, you can also do this?" Wang was afraid of being implicated.

"Yes, sister-in-law, we are in the kitchen, go and comfort mother."

Li took over the work from Zhang's hands and pushed her out. Zhang had to go out to coax her mother-in-law.

"Mom, can you help me get some pickled cabbage? Zhizhi loves the ones you make the most. The ones we make aren't tasty enough."

Zhang was a smart woman. When she said this, Mrs. Qin immediately forgot about her sons.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. Go to the kitchen and get a big bowl. Come with me. Zhizhi loves it. Let's make some more for lunch."

"Hey, thank you, Mom. Zhizhi praised the pickled cabbage and pork bones I made last time. How about we make it again today?"

When Mrs. Qin heard that her granddaughter liked to eat it, she was overjoyed.

"Make it, make it at noon. My granddaughter likes it, so I have to make it."

Zhang went into the kitchen to get a bowl. Li and Wang gave her a thumbs up and said, "As expected, you gave birth to a granddaughter for the Qin family. You are doted on by your mother-in-law."
