"Uncle Zheng, we'll go with you."
"No need, no need,"
Cheng Rui, a tall and burly man, simply put his arm around Xiao Zheng's shoulder and walked out.
"Uncle Zheng, we haven't been to the county town in a long time, and we're leaving soon. We don't know when we'll be able to come back next time, so please let us relax a bit, okay?"
Jian Dan pulled Cheng An aside and stuffed a wad of cash into his hand.
Cheng An felt somewhat helpless.
"Sister, I have money."
After Tang Sumei arrived, they didn't see each other often, but every time they met, Tang Sumei would give them some money. She gave money to Cheng Jin and Cheng Chao as well. They didn't spend much time outside the army, so they really didn't have many places to spend money.
“Take what you have. Buy whatever you want. There will definitely be inconvenience if there are no places to buy things over there. It’s always good to be prepared.”
This child was considerably shorter than her when they first met, but now she has to crane her neck to see him.
"Alright, go ahead and do it. Don't try to save me money."
Cheng An couldn't persuade her otherwise, but he still glanced at Qin Qinghuai. He hadn't forgotten that his sister was already married.
Qin Qinghuai naturally had no objection. Putting aside the relationship, his family was indeed not lacking in this amount, nor was the Cheng family.
That's just how the world is. If you have money, your perspective changes. Of course, that's not absolute, but money is, after all, the prerequisite and foundation for everything.
"Go quickly. Your sister is right. Once you get there, you'll have to follow my instructions. Who knows when you'll be able to come out again? There's no supply and marketing cooperative there yet, so it won't be easy to buy things. You'd better bring back everything you can think of."
He also pulled out a wad of cash and stuffed it in, then naturally gave his explanation.
"Oh, and bring me some big steamed buns from the state-run restaurant. I'll take them back later for those little brats to have a treat."
After receiving the two wads of bills, Cheng An was somewhat speechless. Hearing this, he didn't try to refuse them back, but simply rolled them up and stuffed them into his coat pocket.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll go right away. What else do they like to eat? I'll buy more."
"They're not picky; you can just buy whatever you like to eat."
When the children were together, Cheng Rui and Cheng An were the oldest, followed by Qin Jing, who was only a year or two younger. They should be able to play together. Qin Qinghuai didn't stand on ceremony and said there was no need for that. He said it was just a child's idea, and the adults wouldn't interfere. Whatever he bought was a gesture of goodwill from his older brother, and he wanted the children to get along with each other.
After calming down in his office for a while, Qin Qingjiang finally regained his composure. Having been a leader for so many years, his rationality returned, and he became clear-headed.
"I'm sorry, it's because of you that you were worried. I'll write a letter. Third brother, please go back and give it to Qin Jing for me. He's a sensible boy. Just tell him the truth, and he'll understand."
Qin Qinghuai paused for a moment,
"You mean everything?"
Qin Qingjiang scratched his head.
"Tell him everything, explain the cause and effect, and I believe he will understand."
This is what your second sister-in-law gave you. The children are here, and the elderly are getting on in years and their energy is limited, so you'll have to worry about them. She doesn't ask for anything; she feels at ease with the children by your side. She just wants you to help discipline them and prevent them from going astray and bringing shame to the Qin family.
After briefly glancing at the brothers' expressions, Qin Qinghuai changed the subject without saying much, and took the envelope.
"them,"
Qin Qingjiang's tone was filled with guilt and apology.
"Your second sister-in-law was so anxious and stressed that she fell ill. Now she's fine, but she's caused you a lot of trouble."
It sounds nice to say that the elderly take care of the children, but the elderly only have so much energy. Not to mention, neither of them are homebodies. Before retirement, they devoted themselves to their work, and the habits they developed over the years mean they won't be very attentive to the children.
Qin Qinghuai and his wife have to worry about who knows how much more.
This needs to be put simply.
"Brother, there's no point in saying such polite things at a time like this."
People say that brothers fight tigers together and fathers and sons go to war together. We usually have you by our side, which saves us a lot of worry. How can we just stand by and do nothing when things are like this?
Besides, Mom and Dad are still quite capable, and with Qin Jing, their older brother, taking care of everything, and you kids taking so much money, to be honest, we only have to offer advice. The ones who worry the most are Mom and Dad, and the ones who contribute the most are Qin Jing.
It's normal for you to worry since the children have never left home since they were little. However, this place is now considered our territory. With our parents' status here and the Cheng family here, we won't let anyone bully them, no matter what.
"Once the school opens after a while, they'll be back on track. What else do you have to worry about?"
"You guys actually built a school?"
"Of course, Brother Chao has already gone out to recruit teachers, so it shouldn't take too long. Once the schedule is regular, they won't have the time or energy to think about things."
Qin Qingjiang's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down. His eyes welled up with tears again. What he was most reluctant to do was to let the children's education be disrupted by them. He knew that schools all over the country had been closed because of the uproar in Beijing. These past few days, he had been worried sick, unable to imagine what it would be like to see those children, who looked like ordinary country folk, in the future.
It wasn't that he looked down on them, but rather that he felt sorry for a child who could have received the best education in the classroom but had fallen into such a situation.
"Okay, okay, okay, third brother, thank you, thank you all!"
These words were choked with sobs.
