With Qin Yanzheng and Qin Boyan helping her sit down, Song Lan pretended to take something out of her bag, but actually took out a jade pendant with a talisman engraved on it from her spatial storage. This pendant was exactly the same as the one Song Lan had given to Song Qinghui.
"Is this for me?"
When Qin Boyan saw Song Lan looking at him, he couldn't help but smile and ask.
"Um."
Song Lan nodded, a smile lingering in her bright eyes: "This jade pendant can protect you. You must wear it close to your body, and you must not take it off even when you take a bath. Can you do that?"
As she spoke, her expression became particularly serious.
"I promise I will!"
This is a gift from his sister-in-law. Regardless of whether it can keep him safe or not, he will wear it forever and never take it off!
Taking the jade pendant from Song Lan, Qin Boyan put it around his neck in front of everyone. At the same time, he glanced at his older brother and saw that the other man's expression was not good. He raised his chin triumphantly and, under Qin Yanzheng's deep and unfathomable gaze, tucked the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck into his inner clothes.
Qin Yanzheng was jealous!
He had previously seen his wife give a jade pendant for peace to his second brother-in-law, and now he had seen her give a jade pendant for peace to that brat Qin Boyan. What about his?
Thinking of this, Qin Yanzheng looked aggrieved and asked Song Lan, "Didn't I?"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan paused for a moment, then shook her head with amusement. She said, "I was worried about my second brother while he was away, so I gave him a jade pendant to keep him safe. Do you really have to join in this fun?"
It's just a jade pendant for peace; she can give it to him, but not now.
In the system shop, the Peace Jade Pendant isn't expensive, and Song Lan has a lot of merit points, so buying a few more will hardly result in any consumption.
Furthermore, there is something that Song Lan has not yet discovered: her merit points are increasing. The most crucial point is that since half a year ago, her merit points have increased by more than a little bit, and there is a trend of continuous and significant increase.
"I'm not just joining in the fun."
He can't be without his second brother-in-law and that brat Qin Boyan!
Qin Yanzheng reached out his hand to Song Lan.
A hint of helplessness flickered in her smiling eyes. Song Lan gently patted the man's palm and said softly, "I'll give it to you later, is that alright?"
"I will remember that."
Qin Yanzheng withdrew his hand.
Qin Boyan's eyes flashed with disdain: "Big brother, you're so childish!"
"If you're not naive, take off the jade pendant your sister-in-law gave you and give it to me, hurry up!"
Without the slightest embarrassment, Qin Yanzheng reached out his hand to Qin Boyan.
"impossible!"
Qin Boyan covered his collar, fearing that his elder brother would take away his jade pendant.
Qin Yanzheng rolled his eyes: "My wife said she would give me one, you don't need to act so stingy."
"Who's being petty?!"
"Small-minded" is used to describe a woman, but he is a dignified man. How could he be described as petty?
Qin Boyan looked at Qin Yanzheng with resentment and said, "Brother, if you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth. It's fine if you upset me, but if you upset your sister-in-law one day, see how you'll handle it!"
"You don't need to worry about it."
Qin Yanzheng rolled his eyes at Qin Boyan again, then his eyes flashed and he said, "Your sister-in-law has praised me for being good with words more than once. If you don't believe me, ask your sister-in-law."
You brat, I'll make you so mad!
Qin Yanzheng was indeed a bit childish at that moment.
Song Lan felt helpless. Seeing that Qin Yanzheng and Qin Boyan were looking at her at the same time, and to avoid someone secretly adding more details to her notes, she cleared her throat and could only apologize to her brother-in-law Qin Boyan in her heart. Then, she met Qin Boyan's eyes and said, "What your older brother said is true."
"Sister-in-law!"
Qin Boyan looked on in disbelief.
Song Lan pretended to be serious: "Second brother, I'm sorry, I can't lie."
"Did you hear that? You brat, you don't need to worry about me. My wife says I'm the best talker, and that she loves listening to me talk!"
Qin Yanzheng raised an eyebrow at Qin Boyan, a hint of smugness in his dark eyes.
"Can you stop being so childish?"
Even a brother-in-law has his pride; is it really fun to tease someone like this? Song Lan's eyes clearly showed her disapproval as she looked at Qin Yanzheng.
"Sister-in-law, you're back from get off work!"
Just as Qin Yanzheng was about to say something to Song Lan, the two little ones came into the living room with their short legs.
Yang Fan followed closely behind them.
Seeing this, Qin Yanzheng could only swallow back the words he was about to say, feeling that the two little ones were just deliberately trying to go against him, making it impossible for him to explain anything to his wife.
He's not childish at all; he's just teasing his silly little brother!
"Brother, dinner is ready. You, your sister-in-law, and Brother Yang, wash your hands and get ready to eat!"
Qin Yaxin's voice came from the kitchen doorway.
The adorable little dumpling puffed out its cheeks: "Second brother, second sister didn't mention you, me, or my little sister."
"It wasn't mentioned."
Qin Boyan nodded.
"I'm not happy."
The adorable little Wu crossed his arms and hummed towards the living room door.
"Why fight amongst yourselves? If I were you, I'd go and argue with your second sister right now."
Qin Boyan deliberately set it on fire.
"Brother, don't listen to Second Brother. I think he has ill intentions."
The sweet-smelling, soft-spoken girl gently tugged at the young man's sleeve, then whispered something in his ear. She thought she was speaking very softly, but little did she know that everyone in the living room could hear her.
"Sixth Brother, you're wronging your second brother."
Qin Boyan's words startled the little girl, but she quickly recovered, blinking her innocent eyes and asking, "Second Brother, did you hear that right? I didn't say anything to Little Brother!"
Laughter erupted in the living room instantly.
Shisong Village.
The former residence of educated youth.
Chen Dongze lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) without having lunch with the other educated youth. He couldn't understand how someone with his physical condition could have suddenly fallen ill a week ago.
Upon learning of the conscription information released by the county armed forces department, he immediately went to sign up, along with several other male educated youths from the educated youth compound. However, just as the physical examination was about to take place, he caught a cold the night before the examination.
A cough or two wouldn't be a problem, but he had a fever and a cough, and was so sick he could barely get out of bed.
And so, I missed the physical exam.
Not going for the physical exam is equivalent to giving up, so he naturally didn't participate in the re-examination either.
To be more precise, they were not eligible to participate.
In addition, his cold still hasn't fully recovered, even on the day of the re-examination.
He coughs and has difficulty breathing after taking just a few steps.
I went to the town's health center, and they said I was weak and needed to rest for a few more days.
Not working didn't affect him much, since he had money and wouldn't starve even if he worked less. But he felt extremely frustrated because he couldn't participate in the conscription physical examination.
Before he was sent to the countryside, he wouldn't have cared, because he had never thought about joining the army back then, but now things are different.
With no hope of returning to the city, the only way to leave this place was to enlist in the army… He thought that by being far away, he could forget the girl he once liked, forget her every smile and frown…
Lying on his back on the kang (a heated brick bed), Chen Dongze covered his eyes with his right hand, feeling extremely distressed.
