Chapter 60 Chapter 060 Xie Yaer sees her relatives again.
It has been three months since the first time white jade fat was sold. The Chinese New Year is next month. Perhaps because winter came early this year, the New Year ended in early February. Now it is the beginning of January and the villagers have started to prepare livestock in advance. Few people have died in Qinjia Village this year. Only a few died of old age, and only two died of freezing or illness.
The village chief is really responsible for everyone in the village. After he had money, he immediately arranged for his son to visit every household to check on the situation. For families with many elderly people and children, he tried to give them as much food and firewood as possible. For families with many young people, he also tried every means to arrange some work for them. After all, the Qin family really needed a lot of things, and many young people in the village helped Xie Yaer with the work.
It snowed again two days ago, but it was nothing to the bustling Qinjia Village. Before the snow stopped, the villagers had already started to sweep the snow tacitly. After all, the white jade fat still had to be sold from their village.
The same goes for the Qin family. Although it has been very cold recently, with temperatures even dropping below zero, the men who practice martial arts in the morning will immediately clear all the snow in the yard and on the roof. In the room, Liu Chunhua and her two daughters-in-law are learning to read in the new study that has been cleared.
After several months of exercise, Qin Yuan has become much stronger. Even on such a cold winter morning, she doesn't feel cold when doing horse stance in the yard. She just puts on a simple padded jacket and squats there. It is particularly fun to squat in a row with the adults. Her two sisters also accompany her.
The room was filled with burning silver charcoal. Qin Yuan asked her daughter Qin Huan to deliver a lot of hot packs and fingerless gloves. Xie Yaer was looking at the account book with a brush in her hand, but she had Arabic numerals written on the clean rice paper.
Speaking of which, Qin Yuan was impressed by her mother's intelligence. Seeing her mother busy with the account books every day, she talked to her mother about the use of numbers. As a result, Xie Yaer learned to use Arabic numerals by analogy. She was more proficient than her and even had super mental arithmetic ability.
However, this also made Qin Yuan realize that she could exchange various materials with her daughter, but books were not allowed. For example, rice paper with words written on it could not be delivered by express. This was probably to prevent the modern world from affecting the Dayong Dynasty too quickly.
The maid prepared rose tea on the table. Xie Yaer took a sip of the hot tea and then heard the voice of her wet nurse Wei.
"Miss, the master and mistress are back! They are outside now!"
Wei came in from outside, bringing with her a gust of cold wind. Xie Yaer was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't believe it and the brush in her hand fell on the table. The next second she quickly got up and went out the door. The maid had already quickly taken a cloak and put it on her.
Xie Yaer walked out of the study and saw the bustling crowd in the yard. Surrounded in the middle was Xie Kun, Xie's father, who was holding Qin Yuan, and Qin Yuan was pulling his white beard, with a loving face.
Cui Chan, who was teasing her granddaughter in the crowd, saw her daughter appear at first sight and her eyes immediately turned red.
"Ya'er..."
She ran towards Xie Yaer, and Xie Yaer also hurried forward. The mother and daughter had been separated for more than six years, and finally met again and hugged each other.
"Mother..." Xie Yaer thought she would hate and resent her parents, but when she actually saw them, she only felt aggrieved and bitter in her heart. She had always been polite in the past, but now she was desperate and hugged her mother like a daughter, tears falling unconsciously.
Seeing this scene, Qin's father's eyes turned red and he couldn't say anything.
Xie Lin and Xie Huai were also worried about their mother and sister, but they couldn't say anything to comfort them. They just kept walking around in circles, unwilling to take their eyes off their sister.
"It's so cold outside! Grandpa, let's go inside and talk~" Qin Yuan was happy to see her mother so happy. Thinking that her mother was in poor health, she immediately hugged her grandfather's neck and acted coquettishly.
Her eyes fell on Xie Kun's white hair. Xie Kun was fifty-six years old this year. In modern times, his hair would still be black, but in Dayong, his hair was already full of white hair, and even his long beard was all white. However, he had a scholarly temperament and looked very wise.
As soon as Qin Yuan spoke, everyone moved indoors. Liu Chunhua also knew that the Xie family was coming, so she quickly took her two daughters-in-law to entertain them, and asked someone at home to notify Qin Dali to come back and greet his in-laws.
After everyone sat down in the room, the maid served tea. Zhang Heng, the county magistrate, did not want to disturb them any longer, so he left in advance, leaving the Xie family some space to spend time together.
After Liu Chunhua, her two daughters-in-law and several sons greeted the Xie family, she said she would provide them with housing and food, and then left.
After a while, only the Xie family members and Qin Yu and Qin Yuan, father and daughter, were left in the hall.
"Hey, can you let your uncle hold you for a while?" Seeing that his father didn't know how to talk to his sister, Xie Lin took the initiative to come over and hold Qin Yuan. When Qin Yuan saw the handsome uncle, she immediately abandoned her grandfather.
Xie Lin took Qin Yuan away, and his wife Jiang Jia took out a jade Buddha and put it around Qin Yuan's neck.
"...Ya'er, have you been okay these years?" Xie Kun finally asked his daughter dryly. Xie Ya'er was holding her mother's hand, but she felt the calluses on her mother's hands. She knew that her parents and brother and sister-in-law had actually suffered a lot over the years.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'm doing well in the Qin family. I'm still doing well at home. It's you, Dad, who have suffered so much in the past few years. I kowtow to you, your unfilial daughter."
It was not until she had Yoyo and tried every possible way to keep her daughter alive that Xie Yaer finally understood why her father had married her off and no longer felt any resentment.
She stood up and was about to kneel before her parents. Xie Kun and Cui Chan wanted to pull her back, but they couldn't. Instead, Qin Yu, who had been standing silently, knelt down with his wife, and when Xie Yaer stood up, he helped her up.
Such intimate behavior made the Xie couple feel somewhat satisfied.
"Ya'er, this time my father and my family were able to return, all thanks to your mediation. I already know that you have been running around for the family, which is difficult for a girl like you. Now my father will be serving as the county magistrate of Yang County. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me." Before Xie Kun came, he actually thought about asking his daughter to divorce. Now that he is back, he will be able to stand up again one day, and he doesn't want his daughter to continue to suffer.
But after arriving at Qinjia Village and seeing how well-organized the Qin family was, Xie Kun knew that his daughter had taken over the Qin family. The current situation was probably better than returning to the Xie family. He had been worrying too much.
And this son-in-law... Along the way, Jiang Tian had heard that the other party was gifted in martial arts and was very good to his daughter. As long as he could protect his daughter, Xie Kun would be very satisfied.
"Dad, I understand." Xie Yaer could see her father's sadness, but she comforted him with a faint smile. It was a blessing to be able to reunite with him now.
"Sister, I brought you a lot of good things when I came back this time. You have lost a lot of weight..." Xie Huai finally had the chance to talk to his sister. He was not good at speaking, and seeing his sister's current appearance, he could only say that she had lost weight. He wanted to go up and hold his sister's hand to show her concern.
"Brother has become much darker, but he looks stronger." Xie Yaer also looked at her second brother and joked with a smile. Although the family was reunited, Xie Yaer did not like the sad atmosphere. When she said this, everyone laughed.
"Yeah, I got a lot darker, but I got whiter on the way back~" Xie Huai scratched the back of his head, looking a bit stupid. Qin Yuan looked at this second uncle curiously, and when she thought of the good things the two uncles gave to her mother in her dowry, she knew how much the two uncles liked her mother.
With Xie Huai's joke, everyone wiped away their tears, and Xie Yaer took the initiative to ask about the Xie family's situation outside in recent years.
"It was a bit difficult when we first arrived, but we were a large group, so we quickly took root there. Later on, things weren't so difficult anymore, and we were even able to trade some medicinal herbs with merchants. Since it's close to Dali, there were always bandits sneaking in to attack, and Dad would lead his men to fight them back. Over time, our lives became better and better..."
Xie Huai only reported good news and not bad news, just like Xie Yaer. However, the place of exile was originally full of snakes, insects, rats and ants. Who hadn't been bitten when they first arrived? They all survived.
Afterwards, the Xie family picked up some interesting things to tell Xie Yaer, and also showed concern for their daughter's life in the Qin family.
Xie Yaer naturally wouldn't say too much about her sadness, but just calmly talked about her life in the Qin family.
"My mother-in-law is very kind to me. Seeing that I'm young, she never lets me do anything. My eldest sister-in-law is very gentle. When I was pregnant and during the confinement period, my eldest sister-in-law stayed with me all day long. After I gave birth to Yoyo, she became a little difficult to take care of, so my mother-in-law, my two sisters-in-law, and my father-in-law, eldest brother and second brother all helped take care of her..."
When talking about these things, Xie Yaer's face, which had been a peaceful life, actually showed a few more smiles, which made the Xie family really relieved.
The fact that my sister can smile like this when she mentions the Qin family proves that they are really living a good life.
They chatted like this until noon, and Qin Dali had already returned. It was the first time that the Qin family and the Xie family sat at the same table to have a meal. They were nervous at first, but Xie Kun kept calling Qin "Brother Qin", which made Qin Dali very happy. Both of them drank so much that their faces turned red.
The two brothers of the Xie family also drank with the three brothers of the Qin family, talking about staying in Yang County when they came back. Such a lively moment was really rare. Qin Yuan was held by her mother. She looked up at her mother slightly and found that her mother was smiling from beginning to end.
As long as her mother is happy, she is happy!!
The arrival of the Xie family also brought new changes to Qinjia Village. When they learned that Xie Yaer's biological father was going to take office as the county magistrate of Ming County, they became even more enthusiastic about Qin Dali's family. This year was destined to be a comfortable one.
The reunion of family is the best gift for Xie Yaer this year.
Qin Yuan also shared this matter with her daughter, and she felt that everything was getting better...
