Afterwards, he went into the house to get a small blanket, covered Ye Yun's belly, and then went into the kitchen to find Lao Si.
The two brothers haven't seen each other for many years, so they naturally have something to talk about.
Ye Yun was lying in the yard. She could hear their conversation clearly and could even interject occasionally.
It turned out that the fourth child had graduated two months ago, but his teacher detained him for two months due to some matters. After the start of the school year, new students were enrolled, and he was able to leave school only after his teacher had finished enrolling all the new students.
The good thing is that his teacher persuaded the school to assign him a job in his hometown.
The fourth brother was still very happy when he talked about it. He wiped the dust off his face, his eyes sparkling. "I decided to stay in school because I could make conditions with the teacher. Other classmates left after graduation. They were assigned to all corners of the country. Some were assigned to the north, some to the south, and those who were unlucky were assigned to the west. The west is even more remote than our place, thousands of kilometers away from home, and we can't even go back for the New Year or other holidays. I stayed in school and ran around with the teacher for two months. I suffered a lot in exchange for the opportunity to work in my hometown. Brother, do you think I am smart?"
Qin Zheng's eyes were full of smiles, and he nodded, "Smart."
Not only am I not confused about school, I am also not confused at all about my future development.
"What's fuzzy?"
Ye Yun shrugged her nose.
There was a bitter smell in the air, and she looked at Qin Zheng silently.
Qin Zheng paused and looked at the fourth brother.
The fourth brother was flipping the vegetables in the pot. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly screamed: "My chicken! I think I forgot to add water to my chicken!"
Ye Yun: “…”
Qin Zheng: “…”
What you fear will come true.
The fourth child really showed them his confusion through his own actions.
In the end, Qin Zheng poured half a basin of water over the burnt chicken, and Ye Yun also threw two scallions into it to remove the burnt smell.
The old lady must have smelled the burnt smell. She knocked on the dragon-headed cane in her arms and grumbled in the direction of the fourth child with distress: "Fourth child, you little loser..."
The fourth child scratched his head and laughed, "Grandma, please don't call me by my nickname. It's embarrassing."
The old lady rolled her eyes.
Ignore him.
Long after other families had started eating, Qin Xiang'e finally returned home happily on her bicycle.
Qin Xiang'e was overjoyed to see Qin Zheng and Ye Yun. She took out the mooncakes and candies she had bought from the box of mung bean cakes at the back of the car and gave them to Qin Zheng and Ye Yun to eat.
Qin Zheng picked up the mooncake, cut it in half, and handed half to Ye Yun.
"Wife, let's eat one."
Ye Yun glanced at the mooncake in his hand.
Wow, five-nut mooncakes, no one can beat them.
But she couldn't bear to refuse Qin Zheng's kindness, so she took a light bite, hoping for a good omen.
The clay pot chicken was stewed for about half an hour.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the rich aroma instantly filled the entire courtyard.
Qin Xiang'e served the rice herself, put the chicken leg into the bowl in advance, and brought it to Ye Yun with a smile.
"His wife, come and try it, the fourth brother's cooking skills are really good."
The fourth brother put the remaining chicken into the bowl and chuckled, "Cousin, try it. I learned this from the chef in the back kitchen when I was working part-time in the restaurant!"
Ye Yun lowered her head and took a bite of the chicken leg.
The meat is tender, fresh and fragrant, and the initial burnt smell does not affect it at all.
"Delicious." She praised and gave a thumbs up.
The fourth brother immediately felt extremely satisfied. He grinned and thanked her loudly.
Qin Xiang'e also smiled and put another chicken leg into Qin Zheng's bowl, letting Qin Zheng taste it.
Qin Zheng didn't eat it, but gave it back to her, "I'm a grown man, why should I eat so much? You look so thin, girl, you should eat more."
Qin Xiang'e smiled embarrassedly.
Perhaps it was because she had finally gotten her reward after all the hard work, she smiled a little helplessly, a little flattered, and her eyes were a little red, but she quickly covered it up and pretended to be nothing, picking up a piece of very well-cooked chicken for the old lady, "Mom, eat quickly."
The old lady doesn't care about that.
He picked up the bowl and started eating.
Why are you crying? You are crying even though you have meat to eat. You ungrateful girl. If it were a famine, you would cry yourself to death, you useless old girl.
Qin Xiang'e vaguely felt that her mother rolled her eyes at her.
Hey~ what is this?
She must be hallucinating. Her mother has been blind for such a long time and it seems like she can't see her on weekdays. How could Qin Zheng and Ye Yun roll their eyes at her as soon as they come back?
"By the way, Zhengzi, do you know what happened to the Guo family in the east?"
Qin Xiang'e said.
Qin Zheng was slightly startled, but he didn't stop eating. "What's the matter?"
Bang! The old lady knocked on the table.
This time, she stared at Qin Xiang'e and rolled her eyes firmly.
Qin Xiang'e couldn't help but stare in astonishment, "Mom, are you not blind?"
"Fuck your grandma," the old lady pouted, poking Qin Xiang'e's forehead with extra vigor, "You old girl, why are you bringing up those unlucky things during the holidays?"
Qin Xiang'e's neck shrank, "Yes..."
"It's all right."
Qin Zheng spoke.
He looked indifferent, not taking the Guo family's affairs seriously at all, and said nonchalantly: "Go on, aunt, it's good to laugh at the people who bullied our family from time to time."
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh, "How do you know it must be a joke?"
What if it’s a good thing?
Qin Zheng sneered, "With just that bunch of people, can they do anything worthwhile?"
Ye Yun thought so too.
"Besides, look at my aunt's expression." Qin Zheng smiled and raised his chin towards Qin Xiang'e opposite him.
