Jin Jinxiu stayed in Guangdong Province for half a month. After Ling Yun finished her postpartum confinement, she pulled Qian Feng to sit down in the restaurant and said, "Boss, Xiao Yun has also finished her postpartum confinement. I've been away for a month now. I'm thinking of going back to the Northeast in the next couple of days."
Qian Feng said, "Mother, you've been taking care of Xiaoyun and the children ever since you came to Guangdong. I haven't even had a chance to show you around yet. Let me take you around before we go back!"
Jin Jinxiu laughed and said, "Oh dear, I'm just an old woman, why would I leave? I've already ridden in a car, seen the villa, and even met my grandson. I'm already very satisfied. You're all here, so there will be plenty of opportunities to explore in the future!"
Besides, I'm not so old that I can't walk. I'll come again when I miss my grandchildren."
Qian Feng laughed: "You only miss your grandson, not me?"
Jin Jinxiu patted him and said, "I used to miss you before we had a grandson, but now that we have one, who's going to miss you anymore?"
Qian Feng chuckled and joked, "Are you still my mother?"
Jin Jinxiu hummed, "A mother is a mother, but a grandson is a grandson."
Hearing his mother and elder brother's conversation from the side, Qian Rao laughed rather unkindly and said, "Elder brother, why are you competing with your son for his affection? Aren't you ashamed!"
Qian Feng snorted and said, "Come on! At least I was pampered before, did you?"
Qian Rao snorted and turned his head to say, "Big brother, you'll lose me as your younger brother if you keep doing this."
Qian Feng laughed and punched him on the shoulder, making Qian Rao grimace.
Seeing his exaggerated expression, Qian Feng said, "Look at you, you clearly lack exercise. Why don't you stay home? I'll train you for a while, and your physique will definitely improve significantly!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Rao immediately clutched his shoulder, looked at Jin Jinxiu with a wronged expression, and said, "Mother, I just got married and found a wife. Look at my older brother, he resorted to violence when he couldn't win an argument, and now he wants to leave me here. Isn't this leaving my wife to live alone in an empty room?"
Jin Jinxiu didn't care about the brothers' lawsuit. The eldest brother was already a father, but he was still like a child, teasing the fourth brother until he saw the fourth brother get so angry that he jumped up and down.
Of course, the second brother wasn't like the eldest, who just teased; he really did it! The fourth brother's punishments were mostly due to the second brother. However, the second brother was still very protective of his younger brothers. Anyone who bullied them would receive a swift and decisive retaliation. Only he could bully his brothers; others? Touch a finger? Try it!
The third and fourth brothers are close in age, and when the fourth brother gets into trouble, the third brother always finds a way to resolve it.
The four older brothers all loved their younger sister very much. The five children, plus the three children from the eldest brother's family, were like a rope twisted together. Therefore, the villagers of Beian Village all knew that the Qian family children were very united. Because of this, they had a high degree of influence among their peers.
Standing not far away, Ling's mother, along with Ling Yun, watched the three of them in the restaurant. Ling's mother said, "Now I suddenly feel that having only you as a child is a bit too little. Look how good Qian Feng's relationship is with his younger brother."
Lingyun said with a smile, "When I went back to Qianfeng's hometown this time, the atmosphere of their family gave me a new feeling. Although my mother-in-law doesn't know many words, she is a very good person. She doesn't have the unreasonable behavior and bad habits of those old rural women. On the contrary, she is very tolerant."
I didn't meet his second brother, Qian Yu, as I heard he was in the special forces. Of the remaining two brothers, the third brother left a deep impression on me; he was a very thoughtful person, and he even got the bricks for building our house.
As for the fourth brother…” She raised her chin and said, “This fourth brother is a real simpleton, but that’s only because he’s compared to his older brother and younger sister. He just doesn’t want to use his brain.”
Ling's mother smiled and said, "You're quite moved by that!"
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Do you know who my mother-in-law listens to the most?" Seeing her mother shake her head, she said, "It's my sister-in-law. You may not have noticed, but after my mother-in-law came, many of the things to pay attention to were told to me by my sister-in-law. Although she is the youngest sister, she is very careful about the proper conduct in life."
When Ling's mother heard Ling Yun's words, she recalled that it was true. When they first arrived, she had mentioned "our Duoduo said" in details such as changing clothes and washing hands. She just hadn't noticed it at the time!
Ling's mother immediately took a liking to the young lady from the Qian family and said with a smile, "I'd like to get to know this Qian Duoduo sometime!"
In the end, Jin Jinxiu and Qian Rao took the train back to Heilongjiang Province. However, this time they were in sleeper berths, which made Jin Jinxiu realize the difference between the sleeper berths and hard sleeper berths. Moreover, the people here seemed to have higher status. She and Qian Rao stayed in their berths and dared not go anywhere. In addition, they had brought a lot of things when they went there, but when they came back, they had even more things.
When Qian Mao saw Jin Jinxiu and Qian Rao at the county train station, he immediately went up to them, took the package from Jin Jinxiu's hands, and said with a smile, "You two are really something. You had about this much stuff when you left, and you're back with just as much, and it's even heavier than when you left."
Qian Rao laughed and said, "It's mainly because my sister-in-law's mother and sister-in-law are too enthusiastic. They packed so many things for us, and we only accepted them after we firmly refused!" He wiped his sweat and said, "My brother said that he would send the things we didn't bring over later."
Qian Mao asked, "Have you seen your nephew?"
Qian Rao immediately said, "I see! This child is clever; he knows how to pick the best traits from his parents. Just like the Qian family, he's smart!"
