Sure enough, a few days after Aunt Qiao left the Qian family, everyone in the surrounding villages knew that the eldest son of Captain Qian had become the son-in-law of the division commander, and that he himself had become a company commander.
Qian Duoduo looked at Jin Jinxiu and said, "Mother, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will be back in the summer. My sister-in-law is from the south, and it's too cold here during the New Year. I'm afraid her health won't be able to handle it."
Jin Jinxiu nodded: "You're right. I'll be happy as long as they can come back. I don't know when your second brother will be able to come back."
Qian Duoduo said, "Mom, my eldest brother will be back soon, how far is my second brother?"
Jin Jinxiu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, did your brother's letter say how long it would take him to get home?"
Qian Duoduo said, "The letter was sent a month ago. He said that his sister-in-law said to prepare some things and then they would set off. I think my brother and the others should be here in the next few days, since they came back from the southernmost part of the country."
Jin Jinxiu nodded and said, "You go find your fourth brother quickly, and you two go find Qian Xiang and see if you can hunt some wild game?"
Qian Duoduo nodded. She could tell that her mother was excited. Her older brother was almost thirty and was getting married. How could she not be excited? Just look at her excited heart, her trembling hands, and how she did everything with such enthusiasm. Hehe, this kind of life is pretty good.
She obediently went to find Qian Rao and Qian Xiang, and the three of them went to the mountain to pick mushrooms. They also caught two pheasants and more than ten eggs. When she came back, she said to Jin Jinxiu, "Mom, save these eggs for now. As for these pheasants, cut off their wings so they can't fly. We can also save on the rabbits we raise. Maybe my sister-in-law likes spicy rabbit heads."
Jin Jinxiu pointed at her and said, "You say sister-in-law likes it? I think it's you who likes it!"
Qian Duoduo said in a serious tone, "What I like is spicy duck head!"
The mother and son laughed.
Qian Sheng was overjoyed to learn that Qian Feng was bringing his wife back, and he ate an extra bowl of rice that evening, which earned him a glare from Jin Jinxiu: "Why are you eating so much, you old man?"
Qian Sheng looked speechlessly at the ceiling and said, "Honey, do you think we need to tidy up this house? Otherwise, how will our eldest son and daughter-in-law stay when they come back?"
Jin Jinxiu was taken aback, then patted Qian Sheng's leg and said, "You're right about that. How about we get a room for the boss?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Forget it. My brother and sister-in-law can't stay here for long. Building a room and having no one live in it would be a waste."
