Qin Qingman planned to braise the bear paws. Bear paws are difficult to prepare and take a long time to prepare, so she quickly got some food and started preparing the bear paws after getting up in the morning. (Note: game is prohibited, but this is a local food in special times)
The Qin family’s breakfast was not too sumptuous.
It’s just goat milk and noodles, that’s all, and the whole family is satisfied and happy after eating it.
After breakfast, Chuchu took the wolf cub to clean the windows in the house. The temperature indoors was high, so it was not cold to clean the windows inside.
Five-year-old Chuchu was working, and the wolf cub was just playing.
Chu Chu didn't care, as long as the wolf cub didn't affect his work.
The children in the family were busy, and Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing were not likely to be idle. They went to the kitchen. There were many people eating at the New Year's Eve dinner today, so there must be a lot of dishes that needed to be cooked, and they must use the big stove in the kitchen.
"Qingman, how do we deal with this bear paw?"
Huang Wanqing was at a loss as to what to do when she looked at the thawed furry bear paw. She had never eaten this thing in her life, let alone prepared it into a dish.
"Wanqing, light the fire for me and I'll do it."
Qin Qingman was fortunate enough to have eaten farmed bear paws in a private restaurant in later life, and only then did she know how to prepare them.
The bear paw must be skinned first.
The skinning is also very particular, it is blanched with hot water, just like blanching the pig hair when slaughtering it.
The hot water was poured over the two bear paws again and again, not too fast or too slow, and it had to be boiled very patiently. After a while, Qin Qingman stopped pouring the hot water, then reached out and gently pulled the hair on the bear paws.
If it can't be pulled, then you have to boil it again. If it can be pulled, you can peel it.
Don’t be fooled by the large appearance of the furry bear paws. There isn’t much left after the skin is peeled. So after the two paws were skinned, they shrunk a lot and didn’t look like bear paws at all.
The only bear paws that can be eaten are the two front paws, because they are thick, meaty and full of fat.
There is a common knowledge passed down from generation to generation in the village, that is, the reason why bear paws are delicious is because blind bears like to use their front paws to dig out beehives.
If the hive is attacked, the bees will definitely fight back.
Countless bee tails with stingers will pierce into the blind bear's claws.
Blind bears are naturally patient eaters. They love eating honey and will not give up even if their front paws are pierced by bees. So the final result is that the blind bears will dig their front paws into the beehive.
The claws, which were pierced with countless wounds, were covered with honey when they were retracted.
At this time, the blind bear will hold its paw and lick it. Those who don’t know may think that the blind bear is too hungry and is licking its paw to satisfy its hunger. In fact, the blind bear is licking the honey on its paw.
The sweet taste made the blind bear unable to stop.
Blind bears often eat honey like this, which not only causes their front paws to quickly thicken with fat to resist the attacks of bees, but also allows their paws to be frequently baptized by honey, thus forming a unique delicacy.
Today is New Year's Eve, and every household will prepare all the meat and dishes that they usually don't want to eat today.
Qin Qingman had already exchanged a chicken and a goose for someone in the village the day before.
The goose that her family had exchanged with Auntie Ayun had become a companion for guarding the house. It would definitely not harm the other two gooses during the New Year, so she simply exchanged food for edible geese.
The new goose is much smaller than the two geese at home, and is just right for today's New Year's Eve dinner.
After Qin Qingman peeled the skin of the bear paw, she started to kill chickens and geese. She planned to stew the geese in an iron pot, but the same thing happened with the chickens. In addition to using them to make soup with Hericium erinaceus, some of them had to be reserved for the bear paws to make soup.
Bear paws have a strong fishy smell and have to go through many steps and repeated processing before they can become a real delicacy.
So Qin Qingman, who had prepared everything long ago, not only killed a chicken, but also defrosted a lot of meat. The pork elbows were to be used with the bear paws, and she also packed them all up.
After steaming the bear paws in the pot, Qin Qingman began to prepare the other dishes.
There will probably be quite a few people coming to my house for dinner today, and their hometowns are all over the place, so of course everyone’s tastes are different.
So in addition to making light dishes, she also has to make spicy and exciting ones.
While Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing were busy in the kitchen, time passed quickly. When she thought about the time and felt a little hungry, she realized it was almost noon.
The guard hasn't come back yet at this time, and the guests haven't arrived yet.
Qin Qingman took the buns she had wrapped in the morning to the stove in the living room to steam them. She steamed a lot of buns so that if Wei Ling came back hungry, he could use the buns to fill his stomach.
Anyway, she will be busy and won't be able to take care of anyone.
"Sister, when will my brother-in-law come back?"
Chu Chu, who had already wiped all the window glass, squatted beside Qin Qingman and asked. He had just run a long circle in the yard in his cotton coat, and had to come back before Wei Ling arrived.
Chuchu knew that she couldn't catch a cold, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable during the New Year.
Qin Qingman looked at the child's clear eyes. She was not sure when Wei Ling would return home, but since Wei Ling promised to come back early today, he would definitely be home early.
Reaching out and pinching Chuchu's increasingly plump cheeks, Qin Qingman said, "A Ling will probably be home in a while."
"All right."
Chu Chu didn't mind Qin Qingman pinching her face at all, instead she was very happy about it.
His face used to be so thin that no flesh could be felt even if one tried to pinch it. Now, flesh can be felt with just a pinch, all thanks to his sister and brother-in-law.
Chuchu thought about it and said to Qin Qingman: "Sister, I'll go to Tunkou to pick up my brother-in-law."
He had done all the housework he could and couldn't sit still at home any longer, so he might as well run farther away to meet his brother-in-law.
"Okay, you have to keep an eye on Dudu. Don't let him bully children or fight with hunting dogs." Qin Qingman knew what Chuchu was thinking and didn't restrain him. She directly agreed to the child's suggestion.
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Dudu."
Chuchu assured Qin Qingman.
"Well, eat the buns first and then go. Don't be hungry." Qin Qingman reminded Chuchu and called Huang Wanqing to come for lunch.
In fact, they usually have the New Year’s Eve dinner at noon.
Kaoshantun is located in the northeastern border area. The sun sets early, and in winter it gets dark before four in the afternoon. That’s why they have an early dinner. They usually have an early dinner, so they have to have an early New Year’s Eve dinner as well.
As a result, many people came to their house for the New Year's Eve dinner today, and they all had to work until the afternoon before they could come, so Qin Qingman changed the time of the New Year's Eve dinner.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the New Year’s Eve dinner is early or late.
Moreover, the New Year’s Eve dinner in most parts of the country does not start until five or six in the evening.
Because of this change, Qin Qingman's family steamed a lot of buns for lunch today. It wasn't a very formal New Year's Eve dinner, but the buns were filled with meat, which was richer than what families with less favorable conditions had.
The three of them ate the big buns to fill their stomachs and then started to get busy again.
Chuchu took the wolf cub to the village entrance to pick up Ling, while Qin Qingman led Huang Wanqing to prepare the main dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Many stews take a long time to cook and don’t require a lot of attention.
"Qingman, your cooking skills are so great. I haven't eaten yet, but just by smelling the delicious food, I feel that it is a great decision to come to your house to celebrate the New Year this year." After Chuchu's professional instruction, Huang Wanqing has already learned how to light a fire in the stove.
It can also adjust the firepower according to Qin Qingman's needs.
It can be said that this is considerable progress.
You have to know that when she first came here, she didn't even know how to light a fire.
Qin Qingman was the head chef today. Both Huang Wanqing and Chuchu could only help her, so she was the busiest person today. Several pots were filled with various dishes.
Braised pork trotters are a must.
This dish was given a very nice name in later generations, "Money Grabbing Hand".
Qin Qingman didn't quite understand the rules for New Year's Eve dishes in this era, but she thought that the dishes from later generations must have their significance, so she simply prepared today's New Year's Eve dinner according to some recipes from later generations.
"elder sister."
Qin Qingman had just opened the lid of the pot and looked at the stewing goose when she heard Chuchu's urgent call.
This cry didn't sound like a welcome to Wei Ling, but more like helplessness.
So she quickly put down the lid and left the kitchen.
Qin Qingman left, and Huang Wanqing followed curiously. She controlled the fire in the stove very well and didn't need to keep it by her side all the time.
Qin Qingman didn't see anything unusual outside the kitchen. Chuchu had already seen her and was jumping at her at the gate of the yard. Then Qin Qingman saw the reason why Chuchu was yelling at her.
In her yard, there were already several small willow baskets lined up in a row.
The willow basket was not big, and it was filled with things. Although it was far away, Qin Qingman could still see clearly what was inside.
They are not particularly valuable, but they are very thoughtful.
"Sister, I don't even know who put it there."
Chuchu explained in a low voice to Qin Qingman who was approaching, and even turned around, opened the gate of their house and looked outside.
There was no one outside the door, and every household was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at home.
Every chimney was emitting steaming white smoke, and the smell of fireworks was everywhere.
"Qingman, is someone sending something to your house?" Huang Wanqing looked at the willow baskets on the ground in shock. She could see what was in the baskets: tofu, eggs, cabbage, and radishes.
Although they are just common things, they are definitely something that the other party can show off.
Qin Qingman looked at the willow basket filled with tofu and guessed that it was sent by Zhang Hongmei's family in the village. They just wanted to send a simple meal and had no intention of notifying her.
I guess the owners of the other willow baskets think the same way.
"Take it back." Qin Qingman did not refuse the things that were delivered to her door, but asked Huang Wanqing to help take the things back home.
"Just...just take it back like this?"
Huang Wanqing looked at Qin Qingman in shock.
Qin Qingman laughed and explained, "I guess they were all sent by people in the village who have a good relationship with my family. They all sent them quietly. I can't return them in a big way. There's no need."
Another point is that the other party may send these things because they remember that I have helped them.
For example, Zhang Hongmei's family had little milk production after her daughter-in-law gave birth, and needed the fish in the river to stimulate it. At that time, her family's Wei Ling caught several big fish, and she kindly shared one with him.
It was normal for Zhang Hongmei's family to be grateful for my help at that time and send some tofu to add to their New Year's Eve dinner.
Qin Qingman even guessed that one of these willow baskets was sent by Sanwazi.
She had taken care of Shanwazi's family, and Wei Ling was optimistic about Shanwazi's physique and promised to recruit him into the army after he came of age. Shanwazi's family was grateful for their help and usually didn't show anything, but on a day like today it was inevitable that they would secretly send something to her house.
Although Huang Wanqing did not hear Qin Qingman's specific explanation, she guessed that it might be a matter of personal relationships, so she nodded and went with Qin Qingman to carry several willow baskets to the kitchen.
Most of the ingredients are fresh and there is no need to store them. They can be used for today’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing returned to the kitchen to continue preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, while Chuchu happily ran towards the entrance of the village with the wolf cub.
Today is New Year's Eve, and children in every household are at home helping with housework or eating meat, so he ran all the way to the entrance of the village but didn't meet any children out for a stroll, and he felt a little regretful.
"Dudu, don't run around. If you get lost, I'll throw you away."
Chu Chu was originally standing on tiptoe to look in the direction of the XXX division headquarters, but he found that the wolf cub's thoughts were not in sync with his own. He stopped, but the wolf cub did not, and continued to run towards the division headquarters.
Although the division headquarters can be seen in Tunkou, as the saying goes, a horse will die if it runs too fast. If he really wants to run to the division headquarters, it will take at least half an hour based on the current ground and his legs.
Chuchu only planned to pick up Ling at Tunkou, but had no plan to actually go to the division headquarters.
Seeing the wolf cub's reaction, the child couldn't help but scream.
The wolf cub paid no attention to Chuchu's calls from behind him and just ran happily, with its tail wagging as excitedly as a dog's tail.
Chu Chu looked at the wolf cub like this and thought of the last time she went to the division headquarters.
At that time, the wolf cub could not be called back even if he was called back, so he ran directly to where Wei Ling worked, and disrupted Wei Ling's work arrangements.
Chu Chu couldn't help but shudder when she thought of this.
The wolf cub wouldn't go looking for Wei Ling again today, would he? Would he destroy Wei Ling's work again? Thinking of the punishment she received last time, Chu Chu ran after the wolf cub.
He kept threatening her: "Dudu, if you dare to do something bad again today, I will definitely deduct your food. I promise."
“Awoooooo——”
I don’t know whether the wolf cub did it on purpose or it was a coincidence, but when Chuchu said this threatening word, the little thing actually barked out very appropriately.
No matter how the sound sounds, it makes me happy.
Chu Chu was immediately so angry at the happy wolf cub that her face puffed up. Tie the wolf cub with a rope. Next time when she goes out, she must tie the wolf cub with a rope.
"Hey, isn't this Chu Chu?"
Just when Chuchu felt that her two legs could not outrun four legs, a smiling voice came from a distance, and then Chuchu saw Du Hongyi and the other two.
Although Wei Ling was not in the crowd, Chuchu was familiar with Du Hongyi. Without even calling anyone, she immediately shouted, "Brother Du, catch Dudu. Dudu wants to go to the division headquarters."
At this moment the wolf cub happened to run in front of Du Hongyi and his companions. Du Hongyi and his companions immediately bent down and grabbed the wolf cub subconsciously.
The wolf cub was originally running very happily, but when he saw Du Hongyi and others coming towards him, he was stunned for less than half a second before he cautiously dodged.
Because of this delay, I stopped.
The wolf cub tilted his head and looked at Du Hongyi and the others.
There were many different kinds of auras coming from these people, and they were very mixed and familiar.
"Dudu, don't go to the division headquarters. Wei Ling is not here. He went to the town." It was not the first time that Du Hongyi and the others had seen Dudu. They knew that Dudu was a wolf cub. They explained it directly without caring whether the wolf cub could understand human language or not.
"Why did my brother-in-law go to town?"
Chu Chu, who came running after him, was already panting. She asked in surprise while catching the wolf cub.
Today is New Year's Eve, why is my brother-in-law not in a hurry to go home to town?
Du Hongyi guessed a possibility, but he couldn't answer Chuchu himself. Instead, he straightened the child's hat and said, "You have to ask your brother-in-law about this. We can't tell you."
"All right."
Chuchu didn't have to get an answer from Du Hongyi and the others. She picked up the struggling wolf cub and invited the three of them, "Brother Du, Brother Zuo, Brother Yuan, come on, come home with me. My sister has already cooked the food and is waiting for you."
"Let's go home, go home."
Du Hongyi and others were originally invited by Wei Ling to spend New Year's Eve at the Qin family. After receiving Chu Chu's invitation, they immediately followed Chu Chu to Kaoshantun.
This time they did not come empty-handed. They each brought not only meat but also food.
The meat was their quota, and they exchanged the food for grain with the logistics department using food coupons.
"Brother Du, why are you carrying so much meat?" Chu Chu was a child and didn't have any deep thoughts. Seeing Du Hongyi and others carrying a lot of meat, she couldn't help but ask.
"Because your sister's cooking is delicious, we plan to eat more."
Du Hongyi joked with Chuchu.
Zuo Gaopeng and Yuan Xiangyang looked at Du Hongyi helplessly. Du Hongyi was sometimes too mature and sometimes too childish.
The real reason is that bringing your own food is a must.
There has not been enough supplies in recent years, and anyone who eats at someone else's house is required to bring their own food. Otherwise, with the appetite of the three of them, they could eat up all the Qin family's stored food in one meal. If that really happened, Wei Ling would probably have to deal with them.
Chuchu didn't understand Du Hongyi's joke at all. After thinking for a while, she nodded seriously and replied, "If you bring so much, you can eat more."
"Puchi——" Zuo Gaopeng was the first to burst out laughing.
Yuan Xiangyang also laughed.
Du Hongyi could only touch Chuchu's head with a smile on his face. He liked the child's honesty.
Chuchu was not greeted by Wei Ling this time when she went out, but came back with three guests.
As soon as they entered Kaoshantun, everyone smelled the strong aroma of meat.
The aroma of meat came not only from the Qin family, but also from other families. Every family was preparing New Year's Eve dinner, so of course the aroma of meat gathered in the sky above the village from every family.
"We have pork ribs stewed with radish."
Du Hongyi took a deep breath and made his guess.
"Yeah, there's also sauerkraut and pork. I can smell the strong sour aroma." Zuo Gaopeng couldn't help but guess a dish.
"I smell the aroma of pork stewed with vermicelli, the rich smell of sauce." Yuan Xiangyang and his friends came to Kaoshantun without eating anything at noon, and they were hungry at the moment. The aroma of various foods in the village made them even hungrier.
"My sister steamed some big buns with meat fillings. They were delicious."
Seeing Du Hongyi and his friends guessing other people's recipes, Chuchu simply revealed the food at home to them.
"Let's go, hurry up, I'm hungry."
Du Hongyi gathered all the things in his hand in one hand, then bent down and picked up Chuchu.
This hug not only picked up Chuchu, but also the wolf cub in Chuchu's arms.
The child has gained a lot of weight recently, and the wolf cub is also growing. The combined weight of the two of them is quite heavy on Du Hongyi's arm.
But who is Du Hongyi? He is a soldier with excellent physical fitness. Even though Chuchu and the wolf cub are quite heavy together, he can easily carry the two little ones into the Qin family's courtyard.
Although Chu Chu didn't meet Wei Ling, she was very happy to meet Du Hongyi and others.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, the child's voice rang out happily, "Sister, sister, Brother Du and the others are here."
Qin Qingman came out of the kitchen immediately after hearing the voice. She was not surprised when she didn't see Wei Ling. Instead, she said enthusiastically, "Comrade Du and others are here. Come in and sit down. If you need anything, just tell Chuchu."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Du Hongyi and others are older than Wei Ling, so they cannot call Qin Qingman sister-in-law.
"Hey, come in and sit down. There are steaming buns in the house. If you are hungry, eat something first. We'll have dinner when Wei Ling comes back." Qin Qingman was very satisfied with the sense of propriety of Du Hongyi and others.
Several of them had eaten at their house before and had said they would come to their house for dinner often, but they were just talk. If Wei Ling was not there, they would never come alone.
This sense of propriety made Qin Qingman feel very comfortable.
Normally, when Wei Ling went to the division headquarters, she would take the initiative to bring some food to a few people.
"Sister-in-law, do you need any help? We can all do it."
Du Hongyi followed Chuchu to put the meat into the freezer, and then spoke seriously to Qin Qingman.
They are definitely not freeloaders.
Ever since they entered the Qin family's yard, they knew how much importance Qin Qingman attached to today's New Year's Eve dinner, because the aroma of the Qin family's food was the most intense in the entire Kaoshan Village.
Qin Qingman didn't bother to be polite with Du Hongyi and the others, and said, "Go inside and eat some buns and drink some water first. I'll ask you to clean the snow on the roof and in the yard later."
Originally these tasks were reserved for Wei Ling, but Wei Ling hasn't returned yet, so it's the same for Du Hongyi and others to help.
"Okay, sister-in-law, leave this matter to us and we guarantee that the task will be completed." Du Hongyi regained his composure in front of Qin Qingman.
"Go to the hall and warm up quickly." Qin Qingman instructed Du Hongyi and the other two.
"Brother Du, come with me."
After returning home, Chu Chu not only got off Du Hongyi's body, but also put the wolf cub down.
When the wolf cub smelled Qin Qingman's breath, he no longer made a fuss to go out, but kept fluttering around Qin Qingman.
The little fellow smelled the strong aroma of meat and knew who was in charge of the food in the family, so he asked Qin Qingman for food with his greedy mouth.
"Didn't you just drink goat's milk?"
Qin Qingman squatted down in surprise and touched the wolf cub's belly.
She was a little busy today and didn't have time to mince meat for the wolf cub. But the wolf cub, who had already drunk three bowls of goat's milk, shouldn't be really hungry.
"Sister, Dudu did it on purpose. He deducted its food."
Chu Chu, who hadn't led Du Hongyi and the other two into the house yet, started to complain about the wolf cub.
Qin Qingman understood what was going on as soon as she heard it. She poked the wolf cub's forehead with her finger and said with a smile, "You're not listening again, huh? Then there won't be any meat for you to eat tonight." She didn't feed the wolf cub meat today because she planned to give it some cooked food.
Today is New Year's Day and there is so much food prepared at home. It seems a bit unfair not to give the wolf cub a share.
So when she was cooking, she had already left a portion for the wolf cub without adding any oil or salt.
"Awooo--" The wolf cub acted coquettishly and begged in front of Qin Qingman.
Chu Chu snorted at the wolf cub in dissatisfaction before leading Du Hongyi and the other two into the hall.
After Du Hongyi and his companions entered the hall, they first put down the food in the bags and then washed their hands.
While Du Hongyi and the others were washing their hands, Chu Chu took the food that the three of them brought to the storage room. The three of them brought a lot of food, and it was quite strenuous for him to carry it all by himself. Du Hongyi, who had just washed his hands, helped carry a lot of it.
In the warm hall, Du Hongyi and others took off their thick cotton coats and hung them on the hangers, then sat by the fire and ate buns.
Chuchu went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks for the three of them and came back to serve soup.
The soup was simmering next to the fire. Because it was next to the fire, the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold, just right.
The slightly sour pickled cabbage and bean sprout soup served with steamed buns is both refreshing and delicious.
Du Hongyi and the other two could already smell the aroma of food filling the Qin household. Even though they were hungry, they still controlled the amount of buns they ate and only stopped when they were half full.
Today is New Year's Eve, and the New Year's Eve dinner will definitely start earlier. If I don't save some space now, how will I be able to eat more delicious food later?
Smelling the appetizing aroma of the food, Du Hongyi, Zuo Gaopeng and Yuan Xiangyang all cleverly controlled their mouths and hands.
"Chu Chu, let's go to the yard and clean up the snow."
Du Hongyi stood up with great pain.
He was afraid that if he sat down any longer he would be unable to resist eating a few more buns.
Zuo Gaopeng and Yuan Xiangyang also stood up.
Several of them were in very good health and did not need to wear cotton clothes. They just walked out of the hall in their sweaters.
Leather boots, military pants, sweaters and green military shirts, this outfit was very eye-catching on Du Hongyi and his companions, which made the neighbors who accidentally went out and saw them blush.
Ever since Qin Qingman made peace with her uncles' families, although the families did not become close immediately, the uncles and aunts no longer caused trouble for them, which allowed Qin Qingman and her brother and sister to have a good time.
During this period, Qin Qingman did not pay attention to her relatives, but these relatives paid close attention to the movements of Qin Qingman's family.
As a result, Du Hongyi and his companions immediately startled these families when they arrived.
In addition to Qin Caiyun, who is of marriageable age, her third uncle, fourth uncle, and Jiang Dongmei from her aunt's family are actually all beautiful young girls who can get married and start a family within two years.
Children in rural areas have to grow up early. For girls of this age, families certainly cannot wait until they reach adulthood to find a partner. Those who are ambitious have already started thinking about it. Seeing so many handsome soldiers coming to Qin Qingman's house, many people were moved.
Not to mention the elders who were moved, several girls were also moved.
Qin Caiyun was particularly moved.
She had long wanted to marry and leave this home. She had plotted against Qin Qingman before they got married, but things did not go as she wished. Not only was Liu Hechang breaking off the engagement, but she was also scratched on the head by the goose in Qin Qingman's family.
His beautiful hair turned into bald patches due to injuries.
Although Qin Caiyun's appearance was damaged, it did not affect her desire to get married and leave this home.
After receiving Qin Jianjun's warning last time and knowing that Liu Sangunzi was plotting against her, she has been staying at home to take care of Zhu Hongxia.
After this period of bed rest, Zhu Hongxia was not only able to get out of bed and walk around, but could also do some simple housework.
In this way, Qin Caiyun was ordered around in circles.
Zhu Hongxia had been lying down for so long that she felt like her whole body was almost exhausted. She couldn't sit still once she could move. No matter what the family members did, she had to intervene. Not only did she nag at them, but they also had to do it according to her requirements.
Qin Caiyun is a girl and has suffered the most oppression. She originally wanted to leave, but she had never found a suitable opportunity. Today, when she heard the noise coming from Qin Qingman's house next door, she immediately stuck her head out of the window to take a look.
This one glance made her unable to look away.
Qin Caiyun once had her eyes on Wei Ling, but Wei Ling was not only taciturn in front of outsiders, but also cold to them. She was not sure she could defeat Qin Qingman, so she finally gave up on plotting against Wei Ling.
He gave up on scheming against Wei Ling, but he didn't give up on scheming against Wei Ling's comrades.
Ever since Qin Caiyun witnessed how Qin Qingman lived after marrying Wei Ling, she has been full of expectations for someone of the same status as Wei Ling. She has been forbearing during this period of time, and today she finally saw Du Hongyi and others coming to her house.
Although Du Hongyi and the others seem inferior to Wei Ling, they are all talented people with their own abilities. Marrying such a person will surely lead to a good life.
I heard that military marriages cannot be divorced casually.
Qin Caiyun touched her head with the hat on. As long as she didn't take off the hat, there would be no flaws. As long as she could seize the opportunity and use the means appropriately, she felt that it would not be difficult to marry either Du Hongyi or her husband.
The hard part is who to choose!
When Qin Caiyun thought about this, she turned her gaze to Qin Qingman's house again.
After careful comparison and consideration, her eyes finally stopped at Du Hongyi. This man was the oldest and must have the most urgent desire to get married. Coupled with his cheerful personality, Qin Caiyun felt that she was confident.
With a goal in mind, she looked at people even more passionately.
There were also several other daughters of her uncles who had the same fiery eyes as her. Facing a good-looking boy, girls would sometimes be quite unrestrained.
Du Hongyi and several others were cleaning the snow on the roof and in the yard of the Qin family. The three of them were strong and accustomed to it in the army, so they cleaned very quickly. In a short while, not only was the snow on the roof cleaned up, but there was also less snow in the yard.
I worked so hard that of course I started sweating a little.
Just as Du Hongyi and others were carelessly lifting the hems of their clothes to wipe the sweat from their foreheads, the three of them suddenly shuddered.
They felt the eager gazes.
They were all soldiers and were very sensitive to stares. Even though they did not have Wei Ling's sharp five senses, the three of them still discovered at the first moment that they were being spied on, and by girls at that.
Du Hongyi and his friends originally had plans to get married. When they noticed that they were peeped at by the girl, they blushed a little and felt embarrassed. However, they did not return to the house immediately, but started to clean the Qin family's yard again.
In the kitchen, Huang Wanqing did not go out when Du Hongyi and his friends came, so Du Hongyi and his friends did not know that Huang Wanqing was at Qin's house.
Du Hongyi and his companions didn't know that Huang Wanqing was there, but Huang Wanqing knew Du Hongyi and his companions.
The main reason was that these people came in such a conspicuous manner that she could only see them from a distance even when she was cooking in the kitchen.
"Qingman, do you think all soldiers are in such good health?"
Huang Wanqing saw Du Hongyi and others cleaning the yard, and couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
Qin Qingman looked at Huang Wanqing and smiled, jokingly saying, "Why, are you planning to find a soldier?"
Huang Wanqing was a few years older than her, and she had already married Wei Ling. Huang Wanqing had time to consider her own personal problems. After all, the world in this era was not as tolerant as later generations towards unmarried women.
"Qingman, what are you talking about!"
Faced with Qin Qingman's teasing, Huang Wanqing blushed, and not only did her face blush, but her tone also carried an embarrassed shame.
"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is not a topic that cannot be discussed." Qin Qingman knew Qi Weiying's current situation. She didn't want Huang Wanqing to be dragged down by him, so she could only test Huang Wanqing.
"Qingman, you know that I have someone I like in my heart."
Huang Wanqing quickly expressed her attitude.
Qin Qingman laughed and asked, "Wanqing, are you sure you really like someone you haven't met for more than ten years? Maybe this liking is just your ego, and you like the perfect neighbor brother in your imagination."
Although she is not an expert in relationships, she still knows a little about girlishness.
Huang Wanqing was stunned by Qin Qingman's words, and then she began to think deeply.
