The last piece of spiced tofu was sent to Yuanbao Village after Qian Duoduo told Qian Sheng.
She wrapped the spiced dried tofu in oil paper, put it in a triangular bag, and took it to her uncle's house along with some walnuts that He Ying had given her!
Qian Duoduo ran into Zhen Qiao before she even left the village. Qian Duoduo greeted her with a smile and then tried to leave.
Zhen Qiao's eyes lit up when she saw Qian Duoduo. She hadn't seen Qian Mao in the village for the past few days and wondered why he was so busy.
She immediately went up to him: "Duoduo, where are you going?"
Qian Duoduo said, "I have something to take care of when I go out."
Zhen Qiao smiled and said, "Your family members are all quite busy. Your second uncle is busy at the brigade every day, your third brother is nowhere to be seen, and you are just as busy!"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "The country is under construction now, and everyone has their own things to do. None of us are as capable as Auntie, so that you, Third Sister-in-law, don't have to work in the fields."
Zhen Qiao gave an awkward laugh: "My mother feels sorry for me. Qian Gui also doesn't want me to be too tired."
Qian Duoduo: "That's why I say you're lucky, sister-in-law!"
Zhen Qiao smiled and said, "I still need to go buy soy sauce, Duo Duo, you go ahead and do your work!" After saying that, she picked up the soy sauce bottle and left.
Qian Duoduo continued walking towards Yuanbao Village, her mind filled with thoughts of Zhen Qiao.
Gradually, her steps slowed down, and her face grew increasingly pale. She had always felt that something was wrong, but she could never figure it out. Now, she was slowly beginning to understand.
She felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly. How could she possibly covet her third brother, Qian Mao? Every time the two of them chatted, she would always steer the conversation toward her brothers, and the one she mentioned most often was Qian Mao.
Young and promising, influential, valued by the Party Secretary, and possessing a distinguished spirit! All these words that Zhen Qiao could think of were applied to her third brother.
It's just that this kind of thing is easy to say but hard to hear, and this is just my own guess. Qian Gui is my cousin, and this kind of thing will damage the relationship between family members.
With this troubling matter on her mind, Qian Duoduo's steps became less light. She also began to recall if there was a character named Zhen Qiao in the book she had read. However, after thinking about it repeatedly, she couldn't recall the person. But she did remember that Qian Gui's wife was someone she knew—Tao Meili. However, Qian Gui was almost thirty when he and Tao Meili got married. At that time, Tao Meili was in her second marriage, but she didn't have any children. After marrying Qian Gui, she had a son and a daughter and also ran a small business. The business was doing well, and her family was quite well-off.
But this Zhen Qiao? Where did she come from? Is she Zhen Qiao or Zhen Qiao?
Yuanbao Village slowly came into view. Qian Duoduo shook his head as he watched the village getting closer and closer.
Well, things haven't gotten to the point of no return yet, so I'll just observe and take precautions for now. Having made my decision, Qian Duoduo quickened her pace and headed towards her uncle's house.
As they approached their uncle's house, they saw a woman wearing a pink headscarf and carrying a bundle of wormwood on her back. Qian Duoduo recognized her from the headscarf embroidered with small plum blossoms; it was her aunt, Yuanfang.
She immediately ran forward: "Auntie, Auntie."
Yuanfang, who had been looking down at the road, heard the shout and thought the voice sounded familiar, like, Duoduo? She looked up and saw that it was none other than her own precious daughter, Qian Duoduo!
There are seven children in her family and her sister's family, and she is the only girl. Therefore, she loves Qian Duoduo just as much as Jin Jinxiu.
Seeing Qian Duoduo reach for the wormwood on her back, she immediately dodged to the side and said, "This thing is quite heavy, let me do it, there aren't many steps left."
Upon entering the courtyard, Qian Duoduo saw Grandma Jin feeding the chickens and immediately ran up to her, shouting, "Grandma, I've come to see you! I've come to see you!"
When Grandma Jin heard Qian Duoduo's shout, she immediately straightened up. Seeing Qian Duoduo bouncing over, she smiled and tapped her head, saying, "You're such a big girl now, yet you're not steady at all."
Qian Duoduo said with a grin, "Grandma, I just missed you!"
When Grandma Jin heard Qian Duoduo's words, her face immediately lit up with a smile like a chrysanthemum. She said with a smile, "You miss Grandma, and Grandma misses you too. Look how beautiful and lovely our dear grandson is growing up."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Grandma, I was busy with school every day for a while, but now that school is over, I got first place in the whole school."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Jin immediately exclaimed, "First place? Then our Duoduo is truly amazing!"
Yuanfang, who had just returned from putting the wormwood in the storeroom, heard Qian Duoduo's words and immediately said, "What? Duoduo got first place? Wouldn't that be the top scholar in the imperial examinations?" He then gave Duoduo a thumbs up and said, "Amazing!"
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "It's so-so. By the way, where are Brother Jin Shen and the others?"
Yuanfang said with a smile, "Your older brother and the others have gone up the mountain to gather firewood. Winter is just around the corner, and if we don't gather some firewood soon, winter will be tough."
Qian Duoduo nodded and asked, "Auntie, does Brother Jin Shen have a girlfriend?"
Yuanfang said with a smile, "Your brother Jin Shen and your brother Qian Mao are about the same age. He always says that your third brother is still single, but he's not in a hurry."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "My third brother isn't in a hurry because my mother isn't home. If my mother were home, do you think he wouldn't be anxious?"
Yuanfang smiled and said, "I think that makes sense too."
Grandma Jin said, "Is your third brother busy? I heard that he is the secretary of our county party secretary. He came to our Yuanbao Village a while ago. I took a glimpse of him from afar, but he was busy and I didn't get to go up to him."
