Chapter 195: Her Good Daddy】
"Hey? Xiulan, why are you here?"
After being surprised, Qin Yian heard his father's voice outside complaining with grievance.
"You don't know, just now the girl insisted on giving me money and said she wouldn't tell you. I firmly refused and told her. I said it was a deception and it was wrong. I don't know where the girl learned this bad habit. I should tell her that if you have money, you should use it yourself. If you don't need it, save it well. Why give it to me randomly?"
Then, Qin Yian heard the voice outside become flattering and cheerful.
"Xiu Lan, let's go. I'll pour you some tea, and get some cakes, melon seeds, and peanuts. You and the young lady can sit and play on the side. Let us prepare the meal tonight. It will be perfect and every dish will be delicious."
"I have already said something to the young lady, and she knows she is wrong. Let's not say anything to her. You just sit on the side and do what you want to do."
At this time, the "shameless" voice came from near and far, and Qin Yian was speechless and laughed out loud.
She followed him out, and she wanted to hear what the "shameless" father had to say.
She saw her father carrying a small table like a dog, carrying two small stools and putting them on the table and moving them to the most empty place. He happily went over to take her mother's hand and sat down, and then quickly brought out tea and melon seeds and snacks and put them away.
"How about putting the small table next to the grape tree planted by the young lady? It's a good location. The grape vines are bound to sprout and climb this summer. I'll find some time to build a pergola. When the vines grow a lot, we can climb up there to cool off in the summer. The scented tea made by the young lady in the teapot is good for your health."
His way of coaxing people was pure and innocent. He could act contented even if Xia Xiulan didn't say anything. He was a big bootlicker and didn't feel guilty at all. He even waved and shouted happily when he saw Qin Yian standing next to him.
"Girl, come and sit down and chat with your mother. I have to go to work. Lu Jing and that brat are good at cooking, but they are young after all. It's slow to clean up by themselves. With Qin Yue at their beck and call, it's still too slow. Sometimes they are impatient and don't know the seriousness of the matter. How can they do it without me? I have to help. It depends on us tonight. Come here quickly. The teacup is ready for you."
Qin Jiaguo stood with his back to Xia Xiulan at the end, his hands quietly clasped together, his eyebrows knitted together, and his eyes begged at the girl, with an expression of "Dad knows he was wrong", asking for forgiveness, and silently saying "Girl, I'm sorry, save Dad".
Okay, okay, in the end, it was her daughter who took on everything. She is really her good father!
What can she do? This is her father, and he was exposed because he was buying her a scarf and gloves. Her real father is in trouble, so she can only be a tool for the time being. It's
sad and funny.
Lu Jinghe was shot innocently in the back and just smiled friendly. He and Qin Yian looked at each other and smiled helplessly. There was really no way to catch him.
Lu Jinghe continued to concentrate on his work and acted as a competent background board.
Qin Yian secretly gave his father a reassuring gesture, put on a bright smile and replied, "Okay, I'm coming. Let me bring something to kill time."
"Well, that's right. Housework should be done by men. You women should sit on the side and have fun, just watching us do it."
Qin Jiaguo smiled happily, turned to Xia Xiulan and said, "Xiulan, I'll be busy."
Xia Xiulan, who had not spoken for a long time, finally said "um", which made Qin Jiaguo very happy. With a smile on his face, he ran to work. It was as if he had a gyroscope installed on his body, and he kept busy. He worked vigorously, quickly, and skillfully. He had prepared several dishes in a short while.
Qin Yian came out with wool and knitted clothes, looking a little tired. As soon as she sat opposite Xia Xiulan, she smiled and said, "How about the gloves and scarf your dad bought for you? Do they fit?"
Qin Yian glanced at her busy father. This was not what she said, so she couldn't blame her.
Then she raised her head, looked at Xia Xiulan and smiled, took out a pair of gloves and a scarf from her bag and handed them over.
"It fits well, Mom, you wear it. Dad bought too many, ten sets, and we can't wear them all. Let's wear them together."
Qin Yian helped his mother put them on.
"It's quite suitable."
Xia Xiulan looked at the gloves on her hands and the scarf around her, and smiled:
"In fact, I have known for a long time that your father secretly saved his private money. That was all the money he saved from buying vegetables. Sometimes I would deliberately give him more. If I hadn't turned a blind eye, he would never have been able to save his private money. And I can find where he hid the money even with my eyes closed. He just put it in his pillow. Today, I watched him take the money to buy things. He thought he hid it well."
Although there was some disgust in her tone, more happiness overflowed.
"I will deal with your father later. He even turned the tables and said that you, the girl, learned bad habits."
In view of his father's "not much" love, Qin Yian decided to save his father.
"Mom, don't talk about Dad. Look, he's just acting out of his desire to survive. He's afraid you'll be angry. It's only natural for a young lady to help him take the blame. He didn't use his private money indiscriminately. Don't be angry with him."
"Just help your dad. Okay. I won't scold him, and I won't be angry."
Xia Xiulan smiled knowingly, poured tea for Qin Yian, and said,
"Young lady, your dad and I have the same idea. Just be confident and be yourself."
"Yes, I will."
Qin Yian had nothing to say about the sentimental words. He had to live his life by himself. He handed over a piece of cake, "Mom, have some peach cake."
He raised the sweater in his hand to make the topic more light-hearted,
"Did you see the sweater in my hand? I also knitted one for my parents. I'll give gifts to our family after I finish this little bit of finishing work."
"Well, I was saying that you have been knitting things recently, and your mother is waiting for your new sweater to wear. It is so beautiful."
Xia Xiulan happily reached out and touched it, and ran into the house to get the wool to knit. It turned out that she was also knitting, knitting for Qin Yian, and had already knitted half of it. It was a bright red sweater.
"Look at how bright this red is. It will look very good on you, my lady."
The mother and daughter sat on the side and discussed the knitting method while knitting the sweater in their hands. When they were thirsty, they drank tea, and when they were tired, they took a break and ate something, forming a sharp contrast with the busy Third Master.
There was only a little left, and Qin Yian finished knitting the sweater in a short while. He took the opportunity to put the four-piece winter suit in everyone's room, and put Lu Jinghe's in his room, and wrote a small card by the way.
Because today is actually Lu Jinghe's lunar birthday.
When she told her father that she was going to get something, she actually went to the room where time stopped in the space to knit gloves and sweaters. She didn't come out until she finished knitting. A long time passed inside, but only two minutes outside, so that she could catch up with Lu Jinghe to send him off on his birthday. She
was just a little sleepy. After all, she had spent two days in there. She only took a nap with her sweater in her hand. She was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyelids.
Qin Yian said something to her mother and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
She woke up again because of the fragrance.
When I went out, I found that my grandpa and grandma, my grandpa and grandma, had all arrived and were sitting in the yard chatting. My grandpa also brought Da Huang and the big turtle over and was showing them off to my grandpa. The atmosphere was very good.
They were already wearing the new clothes that Lu Jinghe bought for them.
It seemed that the four elders had a particularly good attitude towards Lu Jinghe. The old man Qin, who had been stern before, was smiling and calling Lu Jinghe.
"Lu Jinghe is great. The whole family has been taken care of while I was sleeping." Qin Yian stood at the door and talked to himself, his tone was happy.
