"That's right, Madam You is an excellent cook. I've already tasted her dishes."
Mr. Wei was delighted when he heard this: "So, Sister Ye will be going to the capital soon?"
But Qin Hexuan quickly shattered his beautiful dream: "I heard from my father that the New Year's Day was just a preliminary screening of candidates, and the official cooking competition will have to wait until after the first month of the year."
"Doesn't that mean we have to wait another two or three months?" Mr. Wei was a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
Qin Hexuan was not interested in these. He took Qingtian's hand and said to Auntie Ye, "Auntie Ye, I brought some toys from my childhood for Qingtian. Can I take him to see them?"
Young Master Qin spoke so politely, how could Mrs. Ye dare not agree?
But in fact, Mrs. Ye was also afraid that Qin Hexuan would take out some valuable items to give to Qingtian.
But thinking that since these were toys he played with as a child, they should be old and useless, he nodded.
Seeing that Mrs. Ye did not ask Qingtian to be better or more obedient, Qin Hexuan's impression of her improved a little.
Qin Hexuan brought Qingtian to a nearby room.
He had already asked people to move in all the toys he had brought, and after asking Mr. Jiang for his opinion, he placed them in the wing room.
Qin Hexuan’s childhood toys, even those from a few years ago, were rare items that Qingtian had never heard of or seen before.
In particular, a pony painted in bright colors immediately caught Qingtian's attention.
Qin Hexuan noticed that she was looking at the pony, and immediately took her over and asked, "Do you want to ride it?"
"Is it okay?" Qingtian asked a little worriedly.
"Of course you can." Qin Hexuan said as he carried Qingtian onto the pony and taught her, "Try rocking your body back and forth."
As soon as Sunny shook his body, the pony immediately began to sway back and forth.
"ah--"
The pony's sudden shaking startled Qingtian, and she quickly reached out and hugged the horse's neck tightly.
Qin Hexuan immediately grabbed the horse's head and supported Qingtian.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here so you won't fall! Just shake slowly."
Qingtian followed Qin Hexuan's advice and shook slowly twice.
Seeing the pony swinging back and forth steadily, Qin Hexuan finally let go.
Qingtian sat on the horse's back for a long time, laughing happily.
"Do you like it?" Looking at Qingtian having fun, Qin Hexuan thought to himself, at least these toys are not wasted, which is good.
After watching Sunny play with the pony for a while, he picked her up and took her to see other toys.
The Qin couple felt guilty towards their youngest son, so they couldn't go, but they kept sending all kinds of things out of the country.
Not only are there all kinds of domestic novelty toys, but there are also Western gadgets.
Qingtian had never seen these before. His eyes widened when he saw the little man spinning in circles on the disc.
"Brother Qin, what is this? Could it be some kind of evil magic?"
Qin Hexuan laughed when he heard this and said, "Do you know what evil magic means?"
"I heard before that the sorcery involves sealing a person's soul in a paper figurine, and then the paper figurine will help its owner with work."
Qingtian had heard these words from someone else while fleeing from famine, and she remembered them.
Now, when I saw a little bronze man pushing a millstone in circles, I suddenly remembered these words.
"Don't believe those nonsense." Qin Hexuan thought, Qingtian has such a good memory, should he remind the Ye couple to be more careful and not let her come into contact with messy people, otherwise she might learn something.
"This is a mechanism made by foreigners. You just need to twist it a few times and the little man will move on his own."
"Why does it move after just a few twists?" Qingtian asked puzzledly.
Qin Hexuan didn't really understand the underlying principle, so he could only say, "Foreigners are used to doing these strange and ingenious things. They're actually useless, so just treat them like toys and play with them."
"Okay." Qingtian nodded.
While the two were talking for a while, the little man was walking slower and slower.
After Qin Hexuan taught Qingtian how to use it, he put it aside.
"I noticed there were no building blocks in your toys, so I thought you might have a set. But after I got home, I asked people to search everywhere but couldn't find any. I guess some careless maid forgot to put them in and left them outside the customs."
"There are already so many toys!" Qingtian stretched out his arms and gestured, "I can't play with them all!"
"As long as you like it, you can ask your parents to take it back to you later."
After looking at the toys, Qingtian suddenly asked, "Brother Qin, I have something to ask you, is that okay?"
"Of course!" Qin Hexuan carried Qingtian to the couch and let her sit, while he made a small stool for himself.
This way I could look straight at the sunny sky, so she didn't have to look up when talking to me.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
The reason why Qingtian likes her brother Qin Hexuan very much is because he will never treat her like a child at any time.
Others, more or less, think that she is young and ignorant.
But in front of Qin Hexuan, no matter what she said, he would listen carefully and then give his own advice.
I never look down on Qingtian just because she is young.
Qingtian then repeated to Qin Hexuan the entire conversation between Mr. Cen and Mr. Ye.
Qin Hexuan didn't expect that Mrs. Ye had such a life experience, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"So what are your worries now?" Qin Hexuan asked patiently.
"Brother Qin, what do you think? Should my mother recognize that old man?"
