Chapter 186 Help me take care of my granddaughter
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Aiguo somewhat at a loss, but relaxed after he nodded and smiled at the newcomer.
"Hello Grandpa, I'm Qin Xiaoxiao."
The man suddenly burst into laughter, “Good, good, good! I’m overjoyed to hear you call me Grandpa. All I’ve ever needed in my life is a granddaughter. Now that’s great, I finally have someone to call me Grandpa.”
Qin Xiaoxiao's lips twitched upon hearing this.
What's wrong with them? Do people nowadays prefer girls?
"Alright, can't you see how sour your grandpa's face is? You'd better call me Grandpa Sun, otherwise he might spank you after we leave, hahaha..."
Qin Xiaoxiao's face darkened, but she didn't dare to speak, and could only laugh awkwardly.
"Alright, Old Sun, don't scare Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao, I'm your Grandpa Zhao."
“I am your Grandpa Hong.”
"I am your Grandpa Feng."
"I am your Grandpa Qian."
"You should call me Uncle Wu. I was your grandfather's messenger back then."
"I am your Uncle Zhu. I served in the army under your grandfather back in the day."
“I am your Uncle Zheng, and also your grandfather’s soldier.”
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at them one by one, her cheeks stiff from laughing.
None of these grandfathers seem to be simple. What kind of soldier was her grandfather in back then? How did he end up with such a group of big shots?
With doubts in her heart, Qin Xiaoxiao then sat quietly next to Qin Aiguo without saying a word, being extremely well-behaved and cute, while secretly listening to what they were saying and compiling the information she needed.
After listening for more than half an hour, Qin Xiaoxiao understood.
Her grandfather was incredibly powerful back in the day. If he hadn't retired from the military, he would probably be a remarkable figure now.
Qin Xiaoxiao swallowed hard, her face full of anticipation.
If her grandfather were still in the army, she probably wouldn't trade her life for being a princess.
After all, princesses have to marry into other families, but she doesn't.
Qin Aiguo's unit had made several great contributions and was known for its courage, fighting spirit, and willingness to sacrifice. When they fought against the enemy, they left an indelible mark on the enemy. Even now, people still feel lingering fear when they mention this unit, which is why it is highly valued by the leadership.
Anyone who came out of this team, as long as they didn't die, is now a big shot.
Her grandfather's former boss is still holding his post. They haven't seen each other for over a decade, but Qin Aiguo writes a letter every year to let him know he's safe and sound, and the boss replies every year.
Among the other comrades, the most impressive is Grandpa Sun, who is still serving in the military. He was Grandpa's most capable subordinate back then. The other grandpas and uncles also hold positions in various local enterprises and institutions, and they are all big shots.
Qin Xiaoxiao counted on her fingers that this old man Wu was not only the worst off among all the people who came, but also the worst off of everyone.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glance at County Chief Wu with sympathy.
We all came from the same team, so why are you the worst off? Don't you ever reflect on your own performance?
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at her grandfather again.
She was wrong; her grandfather was the worst off among these people.
He was just an ordinary citizen, a peasant at that!
Sigh! She was clearly the captain, only one rank below the person above her before she retired, but now she's the worst one. I wonder if her grandfather will be heartbroken to see these people?
Qin Aiguo completely ignored Qin Xiaoxiao, only glancing at everyone indifferently. His aura as a superior surged forth, making Qin Xiaoxiao feel breathless.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Aiguo in shock.
Holy crap! She was wrong again. Just based on her grandfather's aura, he could overpower all these people.
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Aiguo unleashed his aura, everyone felt the pressure, and their own aura immediately receded, causing them to sit obediently and quietly on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
"You've all met Xiao Xiao, and you should all have heard about Qin Min's affairs, so I won't go into details here."
I'm old and don't have many days left to live. I have no worries about the Qin family. The only thing I'm worried about now is my poor granddaughter.
Her parents died young, and their deaths were so tragic, it breaks my heart...
Sigh! I ran into her today, so I'll swallow my pride and ask you all, my brothers, to help take care of my granddaughter to the best of your ability.
If she commits any crimes, you can deal with her however you want, without worrying about me.
If she behaves well, you should help her if you can; it would also uphold our years of brotherhood.
"Brother, you're wrong to say that. Xiaoxiao is your granddaughter, but she's also our granddaughter and niece. What do you all think?"
Grandpa Sun spoke first, and then looked at everyone.
Grandpa Zhao and the others nodded in agreement, "That's right, she's all our granddaughter (niece), we should definitely help her if we can."
Over the years, Brother Qin (the old captain) has never asked them for anything, and they have never helped the old captain with anything. But when the opportunity comes, they will do everything they can to take good care of Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Aiguo glanced at everyone with satisfaction, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"You guys take a look and see which factories are hiring. I don't need you to put Xiaoxiao in there. Just let me know when you have any news, and let her go take the exam herself."
Asking for favors is one thing, but you can't let your brothers break the rules just because it's a small favor.
Everyone looked at each other.
That’s it?
Why would they need to handle such a small matter? Any subordinate could have taken care of it.
"No problem, bro, just wait for our news."
Qin Xiaoxiao realized that the gossip had reached her own ears, so she immediately raised her hand to stop it.
"Wait a minute, I won't trouble you grandpas and grandmas with finding a job. I don't want to work in a factory or anything like that. I just want to stay here with my grandparents."
She's been given a second chance at life to be a laid-back, lazy bum, not to strive to become a powerful woman.
She doesn't want a job or anything like that.
She goes to work every day, doing the same repetitive tasks, and is constantly being bossed around. Is it because her grandparents don't spoil her enough, or her uncles and aunts don't love her enough, or her brothers have made her suffer? She must be crazy to seek out such misery.
"The reason I came back to the countryside is to take care of my grandparents on behalf of my parents. If I wanted to work, I would have gone to work in a coal mine back home and would not have come back to my hometown."
Grandpa, don't let your brotherly bond be tainted by any self-interest because of this little thing. Once self-interest is involved, this beautiful brotherly bond will be tainted.
Grandpa, I know you're doing this for my own good, wanting the Su family to respect me and for no one in the Su family to dare bully me.
But I don't need the Su family to think highly of me. I am who I am, a unique sight to behold.
She wouldn't spend all her time thinking about how to make others look up to her; that's too tiring. If anyone dares to bully her, she'll just beat them up and that'll be the end of it. Once she's beaten into submission, no one will dare to complain.
