Chapter 286 286 Here Comes to Freeload

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife go out to wash up.

He couldn't fall asleep even if he lay back down. Qin Feng sighed as he got up and dressed. When he went outside, he saw that Su Lu had not only swept the yard but also filled the water tank. His son was preparing to feed the chickens. Only the old couple were still awake.

He waved for Qin Ye to come over.

"Have your mom give you some money later. After you get your collar removed, remember to take your daughter-in-law to have another photo taken. Get a couple more printed so you can take them with you when you go back to your parents' house. Keep a couple of photos for her family."

Go have another meal with your second uncle, order a couple more meat dishes, don't be so stingy.

Let's ask her again later if she needs anything else, and we'll buy it for her.

Qin Ye nodded, "Don't worry, Dad, I know everything. I have money on hand, so Mom doesn't need to give me any."

Qin Feng glared at Qin Ye and said, "Silly boy, you should keep that little bit of money for your future life. This money was originally intended for your wedding. If you don't use it, who will you save it for?"

Don't worry about your brother. His share has been saved for him. Your mother and I are not biased; everyone gets the same amount.

"Speaking of which, your brother hasn't been back for two months, not even for spring planting. I hope nothing bad has happened to him."

Mentioning his second son, Qin Feng suddenly remembered that Qin Wei hadn't returned for two months, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Qin Ye frowned as well. "I've been so busy these past two months that I've completely forgotten about him. But don't worry, Dad, he's quick-witted and never causes trouble. It shouldn't be anything serious, otherwise he would have written home by now."

I think the station is too busy to handle the workload and they can't get enough leave.

The area around the station isn't all city dwellers; there are also people from the countryside. Spring plowing is in full swing in every village and town, so Qin Wei might be covering for someone else and won't be able to come back.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "That's true, if anything happens, he'll have to tell his family."

Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Anyway, you're getting married in a few days, and he'll definitely be back then. We'll ask him again then, just in case something really happens and he won't tell us.

Qin Feng was worried that his son might be keeping something to himself, and he was even more afraid that his son might get into trouble outside and he wouldn't be able to handle it. Fortunately, the Qin family had a lot of influence in the city, so no one would dare to mess with Qin Wei.

After finishing his meal, Qin Ye changed into new clothes and rode his bicycle to pick up Su Yun.

After he left, Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed Su Lu and ran off, which made Qin Feng shout angrily from behind.

"Go to work, go to work! Where are you going? Come back right now!"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't even turn her head. "I'm going to the county town with my brother. I'm taking the day off."

"That spendthrift child is going to the county town to spend money again. I can't control her anymore, I just can't control her. That brat is so disobedient now."

Qin Feng was so angry that he clutched his chest and felt dizzy, but he couldn't do anything about Qin Xiaoxiao.

As Ma Dahua carried her rice bowl to the kitchen to wash it, she passed by him and said quietly, "When did she ever listen to that? You still smoked the cigarettes she bought for you, didn't you? If you think she spends too much money, then don't mess with her!"

Qin Feng watched his wife's departing figure with a sense of frustration. "I can't even say a word? I'm her uncle!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a large hand slapped Qin Feng on the back of the head. "I'm still her own grandmother, what did I say? You're always here. Hurry up and get to work. Everyone in the village will be here soon, and you, the brigade leader, still haven't arrived. Aren't you afraid of being talked about?"

After hitting the person, Old Mrs. Qin left so quickly that her footsteps were almost blurry.

Qin Feng felt even more aggrieved. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Aiguo walked past him and shot him a glare, successfully silencing him.

I can't live like this anymore!

...

Su Lu was pulled by Qin Xiaoxiao and rushed into the educated youth compound. The two of them didn't dawdle and quickly changed their clothes and ran to the front yard. When they arrived, they saw Qin Ye taking Su Yun on a bicycle and heading to the county.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't call out to him, and pulled Su Lu to keep running.

The two ran to the village entrance, got on the oxcart, and waited for it to depart.

A moment later, Qin Xiaoxiao saw Aunt Liu carrying a basket walking down the path.

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly smiled and waved to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu!"

Aunt Liu looked up and saw Qin Xiaoxiao's bright and cheerful smile, and couldn't help but smile as well.

"Is Xiaoxiao going to the city too?"

Qin Xiaoxiao helped Aunt Liu into the car and nodded, saying, "Yes, my brother and Sister Su Yun are going to the county to get their marriage certificate today, and I want to go and see them."

Aunt Liu laughed, "Qin Ye is getting his marriage certificate today? That's great news! In a few days, our little one will have a sister-in-law to dote on him."

It was clear that Aunt Liu genuinely wished Qin Ye and Su Yun well, and Qin Xiaoxiao smiled even more broadly.

"That's right, I'm so cute, of course my sister-in-law will love me."

"Yes, yes, no one in the whole village is as cute as our little one."

The two talked for a while longer. Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to bring up Liu Mingyu's wife several times, but after thinking about it, she realized she had no evidence and had to hold back.

Su Lu, who was standing to the side, tugged at Qin Xiaoxiao's sleeve and secretly shook her head at her.

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating that she wouldn't say anything out of the ordinary and that he shouldn't worry.

The oxcart soon arrived in the county. After getting off, Qin Xiaoxiao and Aunt Liu parted ways. Watching Aunt Liu's departing figure, Qin Xiaoxiao felt a pang of sadness.

"Su Lu, do you think that thing is true? I still can't believe it, I feel like I'm dreaming."

Su Lu frowned slightly. "Maybe so, or maybe we misunderstood. I don't want Mingyu to suffer that kind of pain either."

The two sighed and went straight to the state-run restaurant.

Qin Hai had just arrived and was preparing today's dishes in the kitchen when he was called out. He was wondering who would come to the restaurant so early in the morning, but when he saw that it was Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu, his doubts immediately disappeared.

"here we go again?"

No wonder Qin Hai said that. These two always come to his place to eat when they have nothing to do. He even wonders where they get all the tickets they have. It's like they can't spend them all.

Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao sat obediently in their chairs, their hands on their knees, like elementary school students in class.

Seeing this, Qin Hai couldn't help but feel uneasy, sensing that these two were up to no good.

Good morning, sir.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu greeted Qin Hai with smiles, which startled Qin Hai so much that he took three big steps back and moved away from the two of them.

"Speak, what do you want with this person?"

Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu exchanged a glance, and then they laughed again, this time their eyes almost disappeared from their smiles.

Qin Xiaoxiao said first, "We're fine."

Su Lu replied, "I just came to see Second Uncle."

Qin Xiaoxiao added, "We miss you."

Su Lu: "Let's come and see how Second Uncle is doing."

Qin Xiaoxiao: "My second uncle is my own uncle. He treats me like his own daughter. How could I not miss him?"

Su Lu: "It's normal to miss Second Uncle, so we came."

Qin Hai: "..."

Something's not right. These two are talking back and forth like they're performing a comedy routine. Something's definitely up.

Qin Hai threw the towel around his neck onto the table. "Speak, what do you want? Is something wrong at home?"

Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu exchanged a glance and shook their heads at the same time, "We just want to sit here for a while and wait for someone."

Qin Hai narrowed his eyes and glanced at the two of them. "Waiting for whom?"

Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu exchanged another glance. "My brother."

Qin Hai seemed to understand something.

These two foodies are just waiting to freeload a meal!
