"...But you buy too many things for Dad. Like this time, you brought too much stuff, which cost at least a third of your salary...Lanlan, Dad promises you to take better care of yourself while you're here, but you also have to promise Dad you won't bring too much stuff for him!"
Whether he can return to his original position is currently unknown to Qin Shuhan, but he will take his daughter-in-law's words to heart, because as long as there is hope, he will not give up easily!
Moreover, he still doesn't believe that the basic error on the blueprint was his doing. He believes that... the truth will come out sooner or later!
"good."
Song Lan nodded.
Outside the thatched hut, Fu Wenhan was making his lunch. Well, this was Qin Shuhan's roommate, who was about the same age as Qin Shuhan, had a similar temperament, and was about the same height.
Both of them had graying temples and their eyes lacked sparkle.
However, after talking with Song Lan, Qin Shuhan felt much better, and his eyes regained their sparkle.
Song Qinghui was helping Fu Wenhan tend the fire, chatting with him occasionally, but he did most of the talking, while Fu Wenhan only responded with occasional "hmm".
What did you just say?
Qin Shuhan looked surprised. He thought he was hallucinating, but Song Lan's expression told him that he was not hallucinating. In other words, what he heard was the truth.
“Dad, I know you heard me clearly. I did break off my relationship with my adoptive parents. It’s not that I want to be ungrateful; they forced me to turn against them.”
Besides, my biological parents are very good. Even though they came from farming backgrounds, they are more loving and righteous than my adoptive parents. I have already reunited with my biological parents, and the person who accompanied me to the forest farm to visit you this time is my second brother.”
Song Lan's peach blossom eyes were smiling: "When I saw my parents yesterday, I immediately felt close to them. This morning, before I set off for the forest farm, my parents packed all the eggs in the house into a basket for me to take with me. Look, these eggs are quite big!"
She then pointed to the seasonal vegetables on the side: "These vegetables were grown by my mother in the yard. She picked them and put them in a basket for me to eat together."
Qin Shuhan was moved: "Please thank your parents for me when you get back!"
Song Lan: "Okay, I'll definitely pass on your thanks."
"In what ways did your adoptive parents pressure you?"
Qin Shuhan suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan remained calm and composed, saying, "It's a small matter. In fact, the whole thing was caused by Song Jiaojiao, but they listened to her and forced me to do things I didn't like or wanted to do. Dad, do you think it's wrong for me to cut ties with them in this situation?"
"If they are in the wrong, you are naturally not wrong, but your behavior may give others grounds for criticism."
Qin Shuhan could not hide his worry.
"People live for themselves, so why should they care what others say?"
Song Lan said calmly, "I didn't do anything immoral. Besides, my adoptive parents are in the wrong."
"That's good."
Qin Shuhan was relieved.
"Old Qin, I've finished cooking. Go ahead and make it."
This is Fu Wenhan's voice.
"Dad, I'll go, you rest."
Song Lan picked up the half-full bowl of dark noodles that Qin Shuhan had taken, grabbed a handful of green vegetables from the bamboo basket, and took a tomato and an egg before quickly leaving the room.
The pot had been cleaned by Fu Wenhan.
It is a small iron pot.
Song Lan quickly washed and chopped the vegetables. Then, she wiped the pan with an oilcloth, stir-fried the greens and tomatoes briefly, added a little salt, and took it out of the pan.
As for why no other seasonings were added, it's simple: there weren't any.
Song Lan added water to the pot, put the lid on, and said to Song Qinghui in a low voice, "Second Brother, I didn't make anything for just the two of us. Come to my house later, and I'll cook something delicious for you."
Song Qinghui understood why Song Lan hadn't cooked for them, and he smiled and nodded, "Okay." Judging from where Qin Shuhan lived, it wasn't hard to see how tough his life was at the forest farm.
Moreover, the fact that they were eating dark flour shows that they didn't have much food around them.
He's not a glutton, so why would he need to fight with an elder for food?
"The water is boiling."
Suddenly, Song Qinghui reminded Song Lan.
Meanwhile, Song Lan was stirring the batter in another bowl. Actually, she was planning to make dumpling soup for Qin Shuhan, so the batter was quite thick.
"oh."
Song Lan responded.
Noodle soup is easy to make, and in no time, Song Lan finished making it.
"Second brother, I'll bring the food to my father-in-law. Wait a little longer, then we'll go down the mountain."
As she spoke, Song Lan carried a large bowl of vegetable, tomato, and egg noodle soup into the thatched hut: "Dad, dinner is ready."
Since the dumpling soup was still hot from the pot, Song Lan put the bowl on the table first. Then she took four hard-boiled eggs and handed them to Qin Shuhan and Fu Wenhan respectively.
Speaking of which, Fu Wenhan and Qin Shuhan are quite destined, even their names are somewhat similar.
One is a scholar, the other a writer.
Upon their first meeting, after introducing themselves, the two were momentarily stunned, then smiled at each other.
After spending more than a month together, they actually developed a mutual appreciation for each other.
"I can't accept this!"
Fu Wenhan refused the boiled egg that Song Lan offered him.
"Old Fu, don't be so formal. Just take what the child gave you."
Qin Shuhan said with a smile, and then he said to Song Lan, "In the past month or so, your Uncle Fu has taken good care of Dad. He is also from Beijing and is a cadre."
"Old Qin, why bring up those things in front of the child? It's all in the past."
A bitter look appeared in Fu Wenhan's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "You really married a good wife. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a wonderful temperament. Most importantly, she is kind-hearted. She came all the way from the mountains to visit you. To be honest, I really envy her!"
"Yes, my Lanlan is indeed a good girl. You can be envious if you want, after all, it's hard to find a daughter-in-law as good as my Lanlan."
Qin Shuhan's tone was slightly smug.
"Look how smug you are."
Fu Wenhan rolled his eyes, then looked at Song Lan and said, "Kid, I'll accept this egg. If there's a chance in the future, I'll give you a gift."
"No need, no need."
Song Lan shook her head and said, "As long as Uncle Fu and my dad are both doing well at the forest farm, that's better than anything else."
After a brief pause, Song Lan added, "Uncle Fu, you and my dad can eat the eggs and vegetables in this basket together; it will also help you get some nutrition."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Although Fu Wenhan said that, he would not take advantage of Qin Shuhan for nothing. He knew that everyone had a hard time, not to mention that eggs were precious. How could he take someone else's words as an excuse to disregard his own family?
"You're welcome."
Song Lan smiled and shifted her gaze to Qin Shuhan: "Dad... is there anything you want to say to my second brother and the others?"
Are you getting ready to go down the mountain?
As soon as Qin Shuhan said that, he asked again, "You were cooking outside, didn't you cook for yourself and your second brother?"
