After a brief pause, Song Lan continued, "I've been having the same dream lately. I dream that your older sister was terribly cheated by her boyfriend. He not only spent the money and coupons your older sister brought from home, but..."
He was also having an affair with a local girl behind your older sister's back, and your older sister only found out about the betrayal when rumors of his marriage to the local girl surfaced.
It's clear that your older sister was completely the victim in their relationship.
"That's because she's stupid!"
Qin Boyan's expression was unusually cold.
"Yes, your eldest sister said she was a bit too naive and stupid. In my dream, she paid for her stupidity with her life."
He lost his footing and tumbled down the hillside.
I know it's just a dream, but I've had the same dream for several nights in a row, and the dream is so realistic that it makes me uneasy. I'm afraid that everything in the dream is real. How do you think you would feel in that situation?
As the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Besides, your older sister is our family. If everything I dream about happens to her, then I'll bring her back in advance to avoid that fatal calamity. Wouldn't that be a blessing in disguise?
In other words, your eldest sister is someone we lost and then found again. Shouldn't we treat her well when we see her again, instead of holding a grudge against her for her past mistakes and ignoring her?
Song Lan looked straight into Qin Boyan's eyes and listened to her finish speaking. How could Qin Boyan not understand her good intentions?
He forced a smile, his tone tinged with helplessness, and said, "Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean. Here's one thing I can say to you: regardless of whether what you dreamed about has actually happened..."
As long as my older sister doesn't continue her foolish behavior when she gets home, I'll act as a good younger brother, even just for your sake, sister-in-law, and won't truly treat her like she doesn't exist.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan smiled and said, "Well done, second brother. I knew you were the most sensible one."
Qin Boyan was embarrassed by the praise and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to praise me like that."
He just didn't want her to worry too much.
After all, he has to work, take care of the family, and now he's even taking on his brainless older sister's mess. If she gets sick from exhaustion one day, he'll definitely feel bad.
It's not that he has any feelings for his elder sister-in-law.
As the old saying goes: the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother!
After her father's accident and her mother's passing, the woman in front of me truly took on the responsibilities of being the eldest sister-in-law.
In other words, their family didn't fall apart entirely because the eldest sister-in-law was holding things together.
"Are you embarrassed?" Song Lan's smiling eyes were tinged with a hint of teasing. She said, "I praised you because you deserve to be praised. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Standing up, Song Lan's expression was gentle and tolerant: "Alright, you should get some rest. Your sister-in-law won't bother you any longer."
...
Let's get back to the main topic.
Around 12:30 pm, Song Qingbin, Song Qinghui, and Song Sanhe and his wife arrived at Song Lan's home.
Knowing that Song Qinghui was leaving with Chen Dongsheng and Zhao Yunzhen today, Qin Yanzheng went home after get off work at noon, thinking of seeing Song Qinghui off with Song Lan.
At this moment, he sat in the living room talking with Song Sanhe and his two children, and occasionally chatted with Chen Dongdong and Zhao Yunzhen.
Wu Dong and Qin Boyan listened quietly from the side.
As soon as Qin Yaxin got out of school, she took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help Song Lan and Li Jumei.
As for the two little ones, they were squatting in the yard counting ants.
"Lanlan, do you think your second brother can hold on?"
Knowing how tough the training would be, Li Jumei was genuinely worried about Song Qinghui, fearing that her foolish son might desert one day.
"Mom, my second brother is capable. I have faith in him."
Song Lan smiled and comforted her elderly mother.
"Auntie, I also believe in Brother Qinghui. Maybe he'll make a name for himself soon after he goes there!"
Qin Yaxin stuffed some firewood into the stove, her tone full of laughter as she echoed Song Lan's words.
"Your aunt didn't expect your brother Qinghui to make a name for himself so early. I just hope he won't desert and embarrass me and your uncle."
Now that there are fewer opportunities for promotions, there are fewer chances to earn merit, and earning merit means there will be danger. She doesn't want her stupid son to die not long after joining the army.
Although she had three sons and one daughter in her life, each of them was her precious child. If one of them were to be missing one day, how could she, as a mother, live?!
"Auntie, you have to have faith in Brother Qinghui. He will never desert!"
Qin Yaxin spoke earnestly. Hearing this, Li Jumei smiled. She continued chopping vegetables, glanced at Qin Yaxin, and said with a loving smile, "Okay, Auntie will listen to you. I believe your brother Qinghui won't be a coward."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaxin covered her mouth and laughed: "Auntie, you really know how to make fun of Brother Qinghui."
"That's right, Mom. I can't help but feel sorry for my second brother when you speak so ill of him."
Song Lan also laughed out loud, feeling that her mother really didn't give her second brother any face.
Li Jumei snorted and said, "He's my son, so what if I say a few bad things about him? If he weren't so unreliable, I wouldn't have any faith in him."
"Then you just wait and see, Auntie. When Brother Qinghui makes a great contribution, I reckon you'll be laughing in your sleep."
Speaking of which, Qin Yaxin thought that Song Lan's three brothers were all quite good-looking. Well, the little girl was actually a sucker for good looks; in her eyes, none of the three brothers, Song Qingbin, Song Qinghui, and Song Guoqing, were unattractive.
Of course, she is slightly inferior to her older brothers and younger brother.
Well, just a little bit, and only slightly less handsome than her brothers, but much better looking than any other man she had ever seen.
Based on her attraction to good looks, Qin Yaxin had a particularly good impression of the three Song brothers.
I have absolutely no aversion to having such a relative!
...
The main dish for lunch was white rice.
The meal consists of five meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, and a soup.
The meat dishes are: braised pork, stewed chicken with potatoes, sweet and sour fish, shredded pork with green peppers, and stir-fried pork slices with wood ear mushrooms.
The three vegetarian dishes are stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, dry-fried green beans, and hot and sour shredded potatoes.
The soup is tomato and egg soup.
Head Chef Song Lan.
Li Jumei was in charge of preparing the ingredients.
Qin Yaxin started the fire.
The three of them worked together very well, and unsurprisingly, they received unanimous praise when the food was served.
Song Lan did not take credit for the work, but said that it was a collaboration with her elderly mother and her sister-in-law Qin Yaxin.
After the meal, Chen Dongsheng and Zhao Yunzhen didn't linger. After saying goodbye to Song Qinghui, his parents and brothers, Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng, and others, the three of them got into their car and left.
It should be noted that after Chen Dongsheng described his younger brother Chen Dongxu's condition in detail to Song Lan, Song Lan did not give any direct conclusion. She only said that she needed to see it with her own eyes and do an examination before she could tell whether it could be treated.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dongsheng immediately made a decision, saying that he would send Chen Dongxu here within a week.
Song Lan didn't say anything about it.
"Lanlan, you and your son-in-law have to go to work this afternoon, so your father and I won't stay any longer. We'll go with your older brother."
After Li Jumei finished tidying up the kitchen, she heard that Song Qingbin was going to town with Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin, and she quickly said something to Song Lan.
"You and my dad don't have anything to do, why don't you stay here for a couple of days?"
