"Mommy, Da Bao will listen to Uncle and wash his hands clean!"
Da Bao, with her delicate little face serious, spoke in an adorable, childlike voice that was simply unfair.
"Mommy, the second baby will wash his hands clean too!"
Although Da Bao and Er Bao are still young, the two little ones are exceptionally sensible and never cause trouble at home. Even though Er Bao is a bit more impulsive, he is very perceptive and follows his older brother Da Bao closely, without causing any trouble for the adults.
"Sister-in-law, I will wash Erbao's hands clean!"
This is the voice of the little girl, Qin Yaxuan.
"Okay, we'll leave the second baby to Xuanxuan's care!"
Song Lan said with a smile, and then she turned and went back to the kitchen.
"Go on, wash your hands thoroughly, otherwise you are not allowed to eat at the dining table."
Qin Yanzheng's gaze fell on Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, Da Bao, and Er Bao. He spoke expressionlessly, and upon hearing this, the four of them snorted in unison and left the living room hand in hand.
They're not stupid, do we need to emphasize this to them again?
Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were secretly thinking about it.
Da Bao and Er Bao learned it purely from their uncle and aunt.
It's perfectly normal for younger children to learn from older children when they play together often.
Well, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu didn't really have any issues with their older brother Qin Yanzheng. They just felt that their older brother always treated them like children and never spoke to them in an equal tone.
The eldest sister-in-law, however, was different. No matter what she said to them, she treated them like big children.
She would consult their opinions and discuss things with them, unlike her older brother who always gave orders, making them feel uneasy.
They were terrified of making a mistake and being forced to stand in the corner to reflect on their actions.
Only Qin's father and Qin Yanzheng remained in the living room at this moment.
“Dad, since you don’t want to have anything to do with that person, don’t think about the past anymore. That will make you feel better.”
Qin Yanzheng advised his father, "Let bygones be bygones. Life goes on, and we need to look forward. Don't you agree?"
"That's what I originally thought, but then I unexpectedly encountered this before the New Year..."
Qin's father said with a stern face, "I clearly made myself very clear, but he ignored me and insisted on coming to our house, and he even brought other people with him. Are you sure you're not just showing off to me?"
Tell me, even without me, he still has sons and grandsons!
"Dad, you've probably misunderstood. I don't think that person meant anything by what you're saying!"
Qin Yanzheng found it somewhat amusing and said, "Besides, that person made it clear that he would bring his children and grandchildren to visit our house. You really don't need to overthink it."
"What's so interesting about our house?! I think he's just bored and brought people here specifically to provoke me!"
Qin's father snorted coldly.
Qin Yanzheng laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, whatever you say. Now, can we go wash our hands? Lanlan just said that the food is ready."
"I think you're becoming more and more disrespectful. I'm your father, not your fifth or sixth child, and certainly not your eldest or second child!"
Qin's father rolled his eyes at Qin Yanzheng, stood up, and glared at him: "Only children need to be coaxed. If you act like that again, see how I deal with you!"
"knew!"
Qin Yanzheng suppressed a laugh and replied.
...
After lunch, Qin Yanzheng and his father sat in the living room talking, while Song Lan and Qin Yaxin took the four children upstairs to play.
“The past is the past, and I didn’t originally think about it. But as I told you before dinner, if I hadn’t unexpectedly met that person before the New Year, I wouldn’t be in such a bad mood these past few days.”
Qin's father said, "He became a high-ranking official and thought I would care about him. He completely underestimates people!"
Besides, I'm not as naive as he thinks, that having a high-ranking official as a father makes me so happy I could practically rush to acknowledge him as my son.
With a cold laugh, Qin's father continued, "Our family wants to be honest and upright people, and do things in a down-to-earth manner. Do we need his help?"
"Of the people who came to our house today, apart from that person, the only one who is about my age and said a few words is a comrade who is shrewd and capable of going far."
Qin Yanzheng was referring to Wang Junpeng. In his opinion, Wang Yaohua, their blood-related uncle, was not a good person at all.
If someone in middle age still acts impulsively and recklessly, lacking composure, they probably won't achieve much in their career.
Naturally, there's no question of any significant future development.
"Um."
Although Qin's father agreed with Qin Yanzheng, he said, "He does seem to be a man of great potential. He speaks and acts with good manners, and his future is immeasurable."
Qin's father looked down on Wang Yaohua from the bottom of his heart. He thought Wang Yaohua looked good and was not much different in age from him, but he spoke like a big fool. He really didn't know how Wang Yaohua was able to stay in the army.
Wang Yaohua came to the Qin family today, dressed in military uniform, just like Wang Junpeng.
Mr. Wang was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit.
Wang Junchi was wearing a leather jacket, the source of which was unknown.
Well, given the Wang family's background, as the youngest son, Wang Junchi was used to spending money lavishly and was never short of cash.
Having been out and about, he knew all sorts of people, so getting a leather jacket to wear and look cool wasn't difficult for him.
Qin Yanzheng then asked, "Are you sure you won't regret not acknowledging him? Will you have any regrets?"
Upon hearing this, Qin's father wanted to roll his eyes, but thinking it would be too impolite, he held back and said, "What do I have to regret?"
Not counting the unexpected encounter before the Lunar New Year and this meeting today, I have only seen him once in the past few decades, when I was a child.
Do you think I would develop feelings for him?
Before Qin Yanzheng could speak, his father's voice rang out again: "There is resentment, but as time goes by, that resentment has basically disappeared. If it weren't for that unexpected encounter before the New Year, I would never have thought of him."
