"You'd also like to visit Secretary Xi on your way?"
"go!"
I simply patted his arm.
“What Secretary Xi? Just call him Uncle Xi, so he won’t say I don’t remember him. This time I took the initiative to go see him.”
"Hey, this is great! With my uncle and Brother Chao at the garrison, you here, and my uncle and brother-in-law at the county committee, I feel like I can do whatever I want in this little corner of the world."
"That's right, you can go wherever you want, even flying in the sky is no problem."
"screw you,"
This commotion dispelled much of the initial gloom, and on the way back, they chatted casually about everyday things.
"Hey, this has developed into a family business. Doesn't that count as having an army and wielding too much power?"
"What nonsense are you thinking?"
Qin Qinghuai gently flicked her forehead.
"We followed all the normal procedures and processes for the transfer. There were no irregularities or backdoors. My parents' paperwork was for their health retreat. We're not afraid of what people will say about it."
"Oh, should we introduce Qin Jing to our elder brother?"
"My older brother said it's not necessary. Anyway, we live close by, so it will be easier to see each other in the future. Right now, it's only been a short time, and we haven't recovered yet. We're also worried about upsetting the child."
"Ah, aren't you afraid that neither of them, as parents, will give the child an explanation, making the child even more worried and imagining things? I think Qin Jing is quite preoccupied now; you've noticed he talks less to the adults."
Qin Qinghuai glanced back at the courtyard.
“I know, but I’ve already tried to persuade him and reason with him. He has to figure it out himself. I’ll talk to my older brother about it later. Maybe his words carry more weight as his own father.”
Didn't you say you were going to bring Xiao An and Xiao Rui over to school? They're about the same age, so let them get to know each other better.
When the child was five or six years old, the old man wanted the child to start training, the kind of beginner training. Since the child was young, the focus should be on physical fitness. However, the sister-in-law felt sorry for the child and disagreed. She even used me as an example, saying that it's fine if you don't exercise, just like me.
They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, so they got angry and gave up.
Second sister-in-law agreed, but Dad was also a little sad at that time and was afraid of being blamed later, so he didn't want to interfere much. Instead, he took Qin Guan for a run and some boxing.
Last year, Qin Heng went with Qin Guan for a while. Although Qin Heng was young, he was quite good at boxing. At that time, the old man became interested and taught him properly for a period of time.
Even so, my sister-in-law was still very unhappy, saying that Dad was biased.
Jian Dan is a bit unsure how to evaluate this sister-in-law. No one can deny that she is truly devoted to her children and husband, but other than that, it's hard to praise her, mainly because it's something she can't bring herself to say.
"Well, she feels sorry for her child suffering, but when she sees others receiving the same treatment, she feels resentful."
"Yes, after so many years of marriage, most of the people around her are military personnel and their families. She knows very well that these things are for the good of her child. She can't bear to see her child suffer like this, but she also doesn't want to see other people's children benefit and surpass her own, especially since that person is her sister-in-law, her eldest sister-in-law, and a very outstanding one at that."
"What kind of mentality is this? The Qin family's children are benefiting, but it's not something taken from her. From now on, it's a matter of shared prosperity and shared ruin. Can't she understand that?"
Qin Qinghuai sneered.
“Our sister-in-law graduated from high school, she’s so enlightened, what doesn’t she understand?”
To put it bluntly, it's just that they can't stand seeing others do well.
"Wait, something's not right,"
She glanced back at the man and examined him briefly.
"How do you understand women's minds so well, and with such subtlety?"
The man laughed, pulled her into his arms, and led her into the courtyard, closing the gate behind him.
"It's not that I'm being sensitive, it's that this kind of thing happens all the time. The old man can't wait to avoid her. Tell me, even I, someone who's rarely home, know about this. How could it be a secret?"
"Huh? What was she thinking?"
Regardless of the circumstances, considering the parents' positions, even if it's not about using connections or getting special treatment, it's still good to have powerful backers. Putting aside everything else, the child's starting point, educational environment, the people they interact with, and the subtle influences they receive are all different from ordinary children. Won't they understand this later in life?
Qin Qinghuai grinned smugly.
"You know, my wife's perspective and vision are just different."
She's short-sighted, only focused on immediate, petty gains, and impatient for quick success. Her parents probably worried she'd pick up that narrow-mindedness, which is why they decided to bring them all over immediately.
"Why!"
Other people's affairs are just gossip to listen to, but it still makes me sigh.
"It's just that the kids suffer. If you put it that way, they're not even as good as my family of several bachelors."
Look at Xiao An and the others. They lived with me for a while, and then they trained with the troops at the garrison. They didn't have time or energy to think about anything else. I heard from Brother Chao that their skills are pretty good now. They'll get a permanent position when they reach a certain age. How great is that?
I'm here to brush up on my cultural knowledge, so I won't be eliminated so easily when the time comes!
Qin Qinghuai seemed to be deep in thought.
"You seem particularly dedicated to learning?"
"yes,"
Simplicity is not denied.
"What you learn is a skill, and you'll need it sooner or later. It might even save your life."
If you don't learn now, are you going to regret not knowing this or that when you need it on a mission later? It will be too late then.
