Looking at their figures, Qin Laoshuan lectured Qin Huai, "You usually do everything in a straightforward manner, but why can't you handle them well? If you dare to come again, just fight them off. I'll take care of it if anything goes wrong."
Old Man Qin said, "Laoshuan, how can household affairs be so clearly divided? Qin Huai is a boy, what can he do to his mother?"
Qin Laoshuan said bluntly: "Oh, family affairs, your family's affairs are indeed very troublesome. Qin Huai has been unlucky for eight lifetimes for having a family like yours."
Because he knew him so well, Qin Huai had almost forgotten that Qin Laoshuan in this state was his complete form.
He ignored his previous embarrassment and said apologetically to Maggie Cheung, "I'm sorry for letting you see me like this."
Maggie Cheung said, "Today I realized how difficult your life is, Qin Huai. I won't force you anymore."
Qin Huai was stunned: "What's going on? What's provoking this girl again?"
Qin Laoshuan glanced at the girl and then withdrew his gaze. Then he said to Qin Laotou in a bad mood: "You are really something. You just watch outsiders bully him. What? You think that if they are not your biological children, they are not your relatives? Don't forget who raised you."
He attacks indiscriminately.
Qin Huai said, "Uncle, don't blame my grandfather. Do you think he should fight with my mother-in-law?"
Old Man Qin blamed himself and said, "Qin Huai, I am so useless that I let that old woman bully you."
Qin Huai said, "She didn't do anything to bully me. I only took a few hits. It was Li Laizi who suffered."
He tidied himself up, then asked Qin Laoshuan to sit down and asked, "Uncle, why are you here today?"
Qin Laoshuan picked up the old pipe, and Qin Huai immediately opened a pack of Mudan and handed it to him, saying, "Smoke this."
Qin Laoshuan said, "Hey, here are the cadre cigarettes. I smoked them without feeling guilty today. If it weren't for me, your store would have been moved away by someone else."
Qin Huai said, "Uncle, you are really angry. They are all gone, but you are still taking it out on us."
Qin Laoshuan said disdainfully: "I am just angry at you for being so cowardly. I tell you, if they dare to come again in the future, tell me that if I don't treat them and make them submit, I will not be named Qin."
This sentence was full of domineering. Qin Huai said, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore. What are you doing here today?"
The accountant said, "It's still about the folding fan. You haven't returned to the village, and Lao Shuan and I are worried. Today, we thought you should be back, so we came to look for you."
"Uncles, don't worry about this. I've already given you the 1,000 yuan deposit. Are you still not trusting me to do things?"
"It's not that I'm worried, it's that I'm unsure without seeing you."
These two people didn't care about Old Man Qin's face at all.
Qin Huai smiled bitterly and said, "So now you have a clear mind after seeing me, right?"
Qin Laoshuan said bluntly: "Yes, the village has made quite a few. We brought a few here today to show you."
"Okay, let me take a look first."
The accountant pulled out a few from his pocket. Qin Huai opened them and saw that they were indeed skilled workers, and their work was very mature. He opened them and saw that they were hand-painted with peonies and various flowers. He asked, "Are these all freshly painted?"
Qin Laoshuan said, "Making a fan is quick, but painting these takes time, otherwise it would have been finished."
Maggie Cheung also came over to take a look. Chin Huai handed her a few, and she took a look and said, "It's well made."
Qin Laoshuan raised his eyelids, and Qin Huai introduced them, "Uncle, I forgot to introduce them. This is my friend, Zhang Keyi, a student at Peking University. Zhang Keyi, these two are my uncles in the village, and they have always helped me."
This title surprised Qin Laoshuan and he said, "Qin Huai from Peking University, you are really amazing."
Qin Huai said, "It's them who went to Peking University, not me, so what's so great about me?"
The captain blew out a smoke ring in contempt and ignored him.
Maggie Cheung said, "Thank you, uncles, for taking care of Qin Huai."
Qin Laoshuan was very polite to her and didn't say anything weird or sarcastic: "Miss Zhang, when you have time, let Qin Huai take you to visit our Qinjiazhuang."
Maggie Cheung smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Qin."
Qin Huai then said, "Uncle, when you go back later, tell everyone not to work so hard on the paintings. Just write big characters."
"Huh? What's that big word?"
Qin Huai said: "It's rare to be confused, quiet, the best in the world, etc. are all fine, as are auspicious words. This way, it will be done faster."
Qin Laoshuan slapped his thigh and said, "I really don't know what's wrong with your brain. Your handwriting is so fast and interesting."
Qin Huai asked, "How much have you done?"
"We've only made 2,000. Now that you mention it, I estimate it'll take another four or five days to finish. Painting really takes too much time."
Qin Huai said, "This is all my fault. I should have gone back and told you earlier."
Qin Laoshuan said, "It's not too late to tell you now. The accountant and I will go back and tell everyone."
Qin Huai hurriedly stopped him and said, "There's no rush. Uncle, you came to the city to see me. I won't let you go back with an empty stomach no matter what. We're tired of arguing. Let me take you to eat."
The accountant said, "No, that would be too expensive."
Qin Laoshuan said: "Don't save money for him. Anyway, this guy can make money, so it's okay to eat him."
Qin Huai said, "That's right, don't save me money."
He wiped his face and asked Qin Zhonglin to help look after the store, and then asked Maggie Cheung and Old Man Qin to go out and get in the car together.
Qin Laoshuan got in the car and started talking nonsense again: "If only I had a car, I could go wherever I want."
Qin Huai smacked his teeth and said, "Don't be sour. If you want to go somewhere, just say hello and I'll take you there."
Qin Laoshuan's words never let anyone off the hook: "I don't deserve it. You're not my child."
The accountant laughed and said, "Qin Huai, you don't know. Even though the captain always criticizes you when he talks to you, when he mentions you to others, he always starts by praising you."
Qin Laoshuan said, "Nonsense, I didn't."
Qin Huai said, "Then I have to thank you, uncle. You treat me better than my father."
Old Man Qin was sitting in the back seat listening to Qin Huai and the captain bicker about Qin Dashu. He felt very embarrassed and didn't say anything for a long time. The captain wouldn't let him off if he didn't say anything: "Old Man Qin, why don't you say anything?"
Qin Huai said, "Is it not enough for me to serve you alone? Do you want our whole family to serve you?"
Qin Laoshuan said, "I haven't even told you yet, and you've already protected me. Old man, you'll enjoy the rest of your life."
Old Man Qin said: "Qin Huai is a good child with a sense of righteousness and affection."
The state-owned restaurant in the county town was much better than the one in the farm town. Besides, it was a big restaurant and they even served meat. Qin Huai ordered three meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, and a bottle of Daqu wine without hesitation.
Five more bowls of noodles were served.
The meal cost eighteen yuan.
The accountant frowned when he saw him ordering food like he didn't need any money and said, "Qin Huai, don't order so much. It's like you don't need any money."
Qin Laoshuan said, "Don't save money on him. He's not our son anyway. We might as well give him a good meal."
Maggie Cheung laughed when she heard this.
