Qin Xiaoxiao's sweet response, which included at least five sugar-like syllables, startled Qin Ye, causing him to take three steps back.
"Speak nicely."
Seeing Qin Ye's face turn as black as the bottom of a pot, Qin Xiaoxiao dared not act any further and immediately put on a stern face to look at him.
"Brother, call me."
Qin Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Xiaoxiao had returned to normal.
"It's nothing, I'm going back now. I wanted to ask you, are you going home?"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Su Yu and I made dumplings. We'll eat them when we get back to the educated youth compound. Brother, please tell Grandma that I'll bring some to Grandpa and Grandma later."
Qin Ye nodded, "Okay, then be careful, the road is slippery, don't fall."
Qin Ye glanced at Su Yun again, nodded to her, and walked away without looking back.
Qin Xiaoxiao pouted.
How ruthless! He just leaves without a second thought, not even worried about hurting the heart of the beauty.
Rolling her eyes in a cute way, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Yun again.
Sure enough, the beautiful Su was heartbroken, and her eyes turned red.
Su Yun's sprained ankle wasn't too serious, but she would still have to stay in bed for a while and it was best not to get out of bed during that time.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yu worked together to get Su Yun back to the educated youth compound. Qin Xiaoxiao asked Su Yu to stay with Su Yun while she went to cook the dumplings.
After the three finished eating, Qin Xiaoxiao cooked the remaining dumplings. A large bowl of dumplings was definitely not enough for the Qin family, so Qin Xiaoxiao simply took some dumplings from her usual dumplings and cooked them, making a whole bowl, which she then sent to the Qin family.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Old Mrs. Qin standing there with a smile on her face, waiting for her.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to delay and quickly walked over to Grandma Qin. "Grandma, why did you come out? It's so cold outside. Don't catch a cold. Come in and sit down. I'll go to the kitchen to get some bowls."
He shoved the dumpling bowl into Old Mrs. Qin's arms, and before she could say anything, he ran to the kitchen. A little while later, he returned with a stack of bowls and brought them to the main room.
While the Qin family was eating, Qin Xiaoxiao sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and chatted with Grandma Qin.
As they chatted, Qin Xiaoxiao brought up Su Yun's trip up the mountain that day, and then, without realizing it, Qin Xiaoxiao sold herself out.
"I saw that Su Yu was so anxious that she was about to cry, so I went up the mountain with her to search. Luckily I went, otherwise I wouldn't have known that my brother had also gone up the mountain."
Grandma, didn't you see? When my brother carried Sister Su Yun out of the back mountain, Sister Su Yun's face turned red. Oh my, she was so shy!
"Grandma, I think Su Yun is quite nice. Didn't you and Auntie want to introduce my brother to someone? This is perfect!"
Qin Xiaoxiao was so excited, as if she could already see Qin Ye and Su Yun getting married, but she didn't see the change in Qin's grandmother's expression or Qin Ye's look at her like she was a fool.
Grandma Qin stopped eating her dumplings, put down her chopsticks, turned her head, and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao tenderly.
"Where did you and Su Yu meet your brother?"
"It was right on the back hill, back then..."
Grandma Qin remained silent, her gaze towards Qin Xiaoxiao growing even gentler.
Qin Xiaoxiao was unaware of the danger and was talking with great enthusiasm.
Grandma Qin listened with a smile as Qin Xiaoxiao recounted her encounter with Qin Ye and Su Yun, then asked, "So, you went to the back mountain too?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded blankly, "Ah, they went to the back mountain. How else would I have run into them..."
Looking at Grandma Qin's gentle gaze and loving smile, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something was wrong.
Damn it! We're doomed!
Oh dear, my brain!
Qin Xiaoxiao got up and was about to run away.
Old Mrs. Qin was even faster than Qin Xiaoxiao. She nimbly stood up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and immediately stood in front of Qin Xiaoxiao, blocking her escape route.
"Where's my broom? Where's my stick? Where's my bamboo stick? Where's my forty-meter-long machete? Bring it to me, you old hag!"
With a roar from Old Mrs. Qin, the whole family shuddered and hurriedly put down their bowls, fleeing outside.
Qin Xiaoxiao watched in disbelief as Qin Aiguo led his son, daughter-in-law, and eldest grandson out of the house, their speed far surpassing that of a national second-level athlete.
"Ah! Grandma, I was wrong, please stop hitting me, waaaaah... Help! Murder! My grandma's going to kill me! Grandpa, please save your beloved granddaughter! Aren't I your little darling? Grandpa, help! Waaaaah... Grandma, I was wrong, I was really wrong, waaaah... Help! Ah, Grandma, please be gentle, don't spank me, don't spank me..."
Having escaped, Qin Aiguo, Qin Feng, Ma Dahua, and Qin Ye stood motionless in the courtyard. When Qin Xiaoxiao called out, Qin Ye shuddered.
"Grandpa, are we just going to stand here like this? Aren't we going to go save Xiaoxiao?"
Qin Aiguo glanced at Qin Ye indifferently, "Save what? What happened to someone? What did you hear? I'm hard of hearing, I didn't hear anything."
Qin Ye's lips twitched, and he looked at Qin Feng again.
"dad."
Qin Feng ignored Qin Ye and instead pulled Ma Dahua's watch over him.
"My dear wife, it's so good to have you in this family. You've given birth to my children... My dear niece, you work so hard, you're a role model for women everywhere."
I, Qin Feng, am so fortunate to have married you. Marrying you is the greatest blessing I have ever had in my life. I fear I will live a lonely life in every reincarnation to come.
How could I live without you in this world?
Qin Ye's lips twitched again. He turned his face away, refusing to look at his disgusting old man.
Ma Dahua blushed and nodded, feeling embarrassed by what was said. "It's my good fortune to marry you. Marrying into the Qin family is like entering a paradise. My life has been worth it."
Qin Feng was taken aback upon hearing this.
He had only said it casually at first, but later he genuinely thanked Ma Dahua for her contributions to the family. He never expected Ma Dahua to respond to him.
Qin Feng was immediately moved, his eyes filled with tears as he held Ma Dahua's hand, "Wife, you're so good, how can you be so good, sob sob..."
Seeing Qin Feng crying, Ma Dahua also shed tears. "Brother Feng, I haven't done enough. I will treat you and our parents even better in the future. Really, I'm willing. I'm willing to be good to you. Our parents treat me like their own daughter, so I will treat them like my own parents and be filial to them."
"Big flower!"
Qin Feng was so moved that he hugged Ma Dahua and cried, leaving Qin Ye stunned.
What's wrong with his dad? Why is he suddenly crying?
Listening to Qin Xiaoxiao's screams and her grandmother's angry curses inside, Qin Ye felt... how harmonious!
While his son and daughter-in-law poured out their hearts to each other, Qin Aiguo remained remarkably calm.
What's so special about that? I've done all that stuff before. Back in the day, when I came back from the army, I was...
Well, let's not talk about it anymore, it's all in the past. As long as I don't say anything, no one will know that I once knelt down to my wife.
The screams inside gradually subsided, and after a while there was no more noise. A dozen seconds later, Old Mrs. Qin came out with a beaming smile, smoothed her temples, and gave Qin Aiguo a slight smile.
"Old man, come in, I have something to tell you."
Qin Aiguo was initially quite happy that his wife called him as soon as she came out, but when he saw his wife's smiling face, he felt pain all over his body.
No, we can't go into this house.
