"I never thought that there was anything wrong with the method I taught Yin Le to improve his memory, but if you are unhappy about it, Madam."
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking that he was afraid of being beaten to death by her, so he chose to say that he would no longer help Yin Le from now on.
I never expected it!
Awang said, "Then there is nothing I can do."
"Hiss——" Qin Yao took a deep breath and was angry!
But she didn't want to punch the wooden man in front of her who was making her so angry.
Suddenly her mind calmed down, and Qin Yao asked in a suspicious tone: "Are you sure she has the talent to learn martial arts?"
Awang nodded firmly, then squatted down, picked up his dung scoop, and continued to tend to his precious vegetable garden.
"Madam, why is your face so dark?"
Liu Ji appeared in the vegetable field at some point. He glanced at Qin Yao's gloomy face, then at Awang watering the vegetables as if nothing had happened. He glared at Qin Yao and pointed at Awang and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"
"Is it because of this boy Awang that you are unhappy?"
Faced with the groundless frame-up by his own master, Awang was full of questions. Wasn't it Yin Le who made his lady unhappy?
Qin Yao waved her hand and didn't want to talk about what happened just now. She looked at Liu Ji in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
Liu Ji had to put away his curiosity and replied, "Jin Bao just came over and told us to go to the old house for dinner tonight."
After saying that, he curled his lips, held his forehead and said, "I'm still dizzy."
The implication is that he didn't want to go to the old house for dinner.
Qin Yao saw his reaction and knew what was going on. He must be targeting Liu Ji's current status as a scholar.
"Even if you don't ask for the land tax, it will come sooner or later. Since you invited us to have dinner, let's go. It happens that you are at home these two days, so you can solve this matter as soon as possible."
Hearing Qin Yao said this, Liu Ji sighed and stopped shouting that he had a headache.
The couple returned to the front yard, and Qin Yao asked Li to continue preparing dinner for the children at home.
Since we are discussing serious matters, conflicts of interest are inevitable, so it is better for the children not to go.
Only when Jinhua and Jinbao came to call them did Qin Yao and Liu Ji go out reluctantly.
We just had a banquet yesterday, and the dishes prepared by the old house today were just as delicious. They stewed an old hen, roasted a fish, and boiled half a pork leg.
The aroma of the meat was even stronger than during the Chinese New Year. If you didn't know, you would think that everyone in the old house had made a fortune and was so generous.
Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked at each other. Liu Ji entered the door first, followed by Qin Yao two steps behind.
This is a rare thing. In the past, Liu Ji always followed Qin Yao.
Seeing this, Zhang, who was placing dishes and chopsticks in the main room, secretly winked at Old Man Liu, reminding him to pay attention to this detail.
Old Man Liu laughed and was very confident about his plan for today.
To be honest, he really couldn't handle Qin Yao, but the third brother was his own son after all. Since the third brother was the one in charge today, the hope of success was very great.
"Dad, Mom." Qin Yao called out with a smile.
Liu Ji reluctantly nodded to the two elders, and without being called, he sat down as usual in the place where he thought the food was best.
In the past, the soles of Old Man Liu's shoes would have been pulled up.
Today, the old man changed his attitude. Not only did he not glare at him, he also warmly invited Qin Yao to sit down.
He also asked Zhang to rearrange the dishes and put the best dishes in front of the couple.
Liu Bo and Liu Zhong took out some wine and said enthusiastically, "Third brother, you were busy with other people yesterday, so you have to have a drink with us today."
He served the last dish of scrambled eggs with leeks, slapped away Jinbao and Jinhua's furtive hands, and placed it in front of Qin Yao and his wife, whose bowls and plates were already piled high.
"Yao Niang, eat as much as you can today. Your second sister-in-law specially cooked an extra pot of rice for you. It's enough for you!"
Qin Yao just smiled, nodded, and said nothing else.
It looks neither very enthusiastic nor very cold.
She has always been like this, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.
They are Jinhua, Jinbao and Damao. Today, they were sent to the small table in the kitchen by the adults and were not allowed to eat at the table.
Children are the most sensitive. They know at a glance that the adults in the family are going to talk about something important today. Each of them got a chicken leg, and they cooperated obediently. They held their bowls at the kitchen door, eating while looking towards the main room curiously.
All the dishes were served. Except for Mrs. Qiu who had to look after Damao, everyone in the old house sat down.
No one picked up their chopsticks, and everyone looked at Liu Ji.
Liu Ji had never received such treatment before, and he was quite proud of it. But he also knew that such treatment was for his reputation as a scholar, so he did not get carried away.
Old man Liu coughed twice, picked up the wine glass first, and gestured to Liu Ji, "Old Third, you say a few words."
Liu Ji raised his head and looked at everyone at the table. Every face and every expression was filled with joy and a hint of friendliness.
Among them, Old Man Liu was the most eye-catching, his eyes full of pride and pride.
Liu Ji's heart moved slightly, he stood up, without saying anything, picked up the wine glass and drank a glass, then sat down and picked up the chopsticks, "Eat."
Everyone was stunned. Just like that?
He was not like this last night. He was eloquent and really stole the show.
Old man Liu was the one who reacted quickly and said with a smile, "Eat, eat. We are family. You are welcome."
Everyone laughed and started eating.
何氏给刘季夹了一只炖得鲜黄的鸡翅膀，“老三，大嫂记得你最爱吃这鸡翅了，从前家里日子穷的时候，为了这口，你偷偷杀了家里一只下蛋母鸡，害得你大哥被爹揍了一顿的事，你还记得吧？”
Liu Ji gnawed on a chicken wing and nodded, "I remember that old hen was for laying eggs for my eldest sister-in-law to eat during her confinement. I ate it and put the blame on my eldest brother. My eldest brother couldn't defend himself and was beaten several times by my father. He was also scolded by you, my eldest sister-in-law, for a whole year."
At this point, Liu Ji smiled, looked at He's stiff smile, and asked, "Sister-in-law still remembers it now, is she still angry with me about this?"
He's forehead twitched twice, and she waved her hands unnaturally, "I forgot about it a long time ago. We are a family, how can we really care about it!"
"Yes, yes, we are a family, let's not talk about this, let's eat quickly, don't waste the delicious food." Old Man Liu greeted.
Zhang also said to Qin Yao: "Yao Niang, eat more. If you like it, when you move back home, mother and sister-in-law will make delicious food for you every day."
I emphasized the three words "bring back" and emphasized the tone on purpose.
He immediately winked at Liu Bo, who was a little hesitant. Old Man Liu stepped on him under the table, so he had to ask awkwardly:
"Third brother, do you want to find a day to move back?"
He immediately responded, saying that she had cleaned up Liu Fei's new house in the backyard and it was completely spacious enough for him to live in.
Having said that, Old Man Liu also said that he had asked the clan leader yesterday and that the sons who had separated from the family could move back in. As long as Liu Ji agreed, they would still be a family in the future.
Hearing what Old Man Liu said, Liu Ji and Qin Yao put down their chopsticks at the same time.
After so much preparation, I finally get to the point. (End of this chapter)
