Ling Ba was at a loss for words after Xia Minxin's words.
"I...like peace and quiet." He gave a slight smile and let it go.
His current identity is Qiu Yan's bodyguard; it's inappropriate for him to go in like this.
Qiu Ling'er smiled and said, "Brother Ling Ba, my sister also likes peace and quiet, but she also likes to have meals together. Let's go, let's have lunch together."
Xia Minxin nodded and gently tugged at Ling Ba's sleeve.
"Big brother, let's go to my house. My mother is very nice, and my father is very nice too. You don't need to be afraid."
After spending time together several times, she was no longer afraid of this seemingly serious older brother.
Ling Ba chuckled, "Okay."
The three children and Ling Ba Si returned to the courtyard.
Guo knew Ling Ba, so she served him tea and exchanged pleasantries upon meeting him.
"Ling Ba, why are you alone today? Where is Ling Qi?"
“He’s in Qingyun.” After Ling Ba finished speaking, Qiu Yan said to him, “Ling Ba, go to the woodshed and get some firewood.”
"Okay." Ling Ba responded. Having just returned from the battlefield, he suddenly found himself in a farmhouse, and the feeling was quite unique.
Before long, Xia Cheng returned.
When he returned, the two boys behind him each carried half a bag of flour on their shoulders, while he carried bran on his back to feed the chickens.
Xia Cheng saw Qiu Yan and smiled憨厚ly.
"Xiaoyan, your aunt talks about you all the time. Now that you live in Qingyun, come visit whenever you have time."
"Okay, I understand," Qiu Yan said with a smile.
She's too busy; she really doesn't have much free time.
"Oh, right." Xia Cheng suddenly remembered something, went back into his room, and came out with three taels of silver in his hand.
"Xiaoyan, take this money for now, and I'll pay you back the rest later."
Guo nodded silently.
"Uncle, no rush. Let's keep this money for my cousin's dowry." Qiu Yan pushed the money back.
Three taels of silver was nothing to her, but it was a considerable sum for her aunt's family.
This money was her aunt's family's savings for half a year.
Guo shook her head.
"Xiaoyan, you must keep this money. You first gave Minhan ten taels of silver, and then you paid five taels for Minrui's tuition. Your aunt is very grateful to you."
However, we cannot take this family affection for granted. If you don't accept it, your aunt will feel bad.
Guo was a man of principle.
"Okay, I'll keep it."
At lunchtime, with the addition of Qiu Yan and her siblings, Gu Xiaoran, and Ling Ba, the men and women sat at separate tables.
After dinner, Qiu Xu went to Xia Minrui's room to review medical books with him.
The countryside is much quieter than Baiyang.
Qiu Yan would occasionally offer some pointers, and every now and then, she would chat with her aunt and Xia Minmin.
Whenever Xia Minrui had the chance, she would go to Baiyang to help out, and in just a few days, she had already learned a lot about medicine.
Everyone likes a hardworking and diligent child.
"Cousin." During her studies, Xia Minrui suddenly looked up at Qiu Yan.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Yan asked.
"I don't know how my brother is doing."
Qiu Yan: "Your brother is a great hero, a successful first battle."
"Really?" Xia Minrui's anxious heart, which had been pounding for days, finally settled down.
Qiu Xu also silently calmed down.
He felt at ease the moment he saw Ling Qi and Ling Ba.
Like his sister, he was worried about his senior brother's safety, and of course, he was also worried about his uncle.
Qiu Yan nodded: "Really."
Thinking about business, Qiu Yan took advantage of the early hour and prepared to go to Baiyang without lingering.
She had to get back to Qingyun before dark.
