They weren't unaware that their children had been raised poorly, and they knew that their favoritism had hurt their youngest son. But they simply couldn't bear to see their other sons struggling. What would happen to these good-for-nothings without their youngest son's support?
Now that his youngest son has a child and he's a father himself, he should be able to understand them, right?
Su Zhiyuan and Wan Guihua were still hoping that Su Lu would understand them and help the family out as before, even if it was just two or three yuan a month.
He earns so much money every month that he can't even spend it all, so two or three yuan shouldn't be a problem, right?
The two were so engrossed in their beautiful fantasy that they found their meal much more delicious.
Su Lu, who was still helping out in the Qin family's kitchen, serving dishes and carrying bowls, suddenly shivered and looked up at the sky.
"Is it going to snow?"
It's been cloudy for the past two days. The first two days were okay, and you could still see some blue, but today it turned gloomy during the day. I guess it's going to rain now.
"Su Lu, what are you looking at? Hurry up and go eat, we've been waiting for you."
Qin Feng pulled Su Lu, who was still standing there dumbfounded, into the house, pressed him down to sit next to him, poured a glass of baijiu for Qin Aiguo first, then filled his own glass, then for Qin Hai and Qin Ye, and finally for Su Lu.
Su Lu held his wine glass and glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao with a smile. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he felt relieved and then looked at Qin Aiguo, who had spoken.
"Another year has passed. Last year, our family had many happy events, including the addition of new members. Qin Ye, Qin Wei, Qin Sheng, and Xiao Xiao all got married. Su Yun is pregnant with the next generation of our Qin family. Xiao Xiao also gave birth to her eldest grandson and granddaughter at the end of the year. It can be said that our Qin family is thriving and getting better every day."
"Having children is wonderful! With children comes hope. These two children are the future of our Qin family. After Su Yun has her child, the children will have each other to support each other. And next year, when Qin Wei and Qin Sheng also have a child, our family will prosper even more."
Qin Aiguo spoke and laughed, his eyes constantly glancing at Qin Ye's generation.
Qin Sheng and his wife couldn't come back from the army, not even to get married. They submitted a report and got their marriage certificate directly from the army.
Qin Wei only came back once, when he brought Yang Tianzhen back. After that, he was transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and had a mission, so it was inconvenient for him to go home. They hadn't heard from Qin Wei for several months, so naturally he wasn't here today.
He refused, but Yang Tianzhen ran back, smiling, and said, "I am the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. Qin Wei is not here, so I should take care of him. How can I leave my parents-in-law aside during the New Year? That's why I came back."
Her words were both heartbreaking and touching, but at the same time, everyone wondered which genius wrote the lyrics for her and how much time it must have taken to memorize them.
Sure enough, after Yang Tianzhen finished speaking, she obediently took out another piece of paper from her pocket, glanced at it twice, and then visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's right, it's correct."
Everyone twitched their lips, turned their faces away, and pretended not to see it.
Because Qin Wei wasn't there, the two haven't had their wedding yet. However, they got their marriage certificate before Qin Wei went on his mission, so Yang Tianzhen is indeed Qin's legitimate daughter-in-law.
Yang Tianzhen's arrival alleviated Ma Dahua and Old Lady Qin's longing for Qin Wei to some extent, and they took better care of Yang Tianzhen. Su Yun expressed her understanding of this, and she also liked Yang Tianzhen's personality. With her around, the family was much happier.
As soon as Qin Aiguo finished speaking, Yang Tianzhen clapped her hands and cheered with puffed-out cheeks. Her posture was not like applauding for an elder at all, but rather like clapping after watching a street performance.
Qin Aiguo's overflowing affection vanished instantly, but he couldn't bring himself to put on a stern face in front of his granddaughter-in-law. Besides, it was the New Year; could he really keep a straight face? No, he could only suppress his anger.
That year, Qinjiagou did not slaughter any pigs for the New Year because the pigs were too thin to be slaughtered. Qin Feng decided to take them directly to the authorities.
Furthermore, no hunting trips were organized this year because we already went into the mountains once last year. We need to let the wild animals in the mountains rest and recuperate for a year, so that we can hunt more game next year when we organize another trip.
Therefore, after the autumn harvest, Qin Feng distributed more money from the village's accounts to each household, explaining that it was money for buying pork for the New Year and money earned from selling medicinal herbs over the past two years.
The Qin family has no shortage of meat, but other families do. Few of those with money are willing to spend it all on meat. Of course, they buy a little bit, cut off a small strip on New Year's Day, put it in the vegetables, and then wrap it up in the evening to make dumplings.
In the evening, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun comfortably lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) eating sunflower seeds while watching the Qin family make dumplings. Even Yang Tianzhen joined in, but unfortunately, she was chased down by Old Madam Qin before she could make two dumplings and had to eat sunflower seeds with them.
Qin Xiaoxiao pouted, "I'm not trying to be mean, but these dumplings you made are so ugly! You didn't even put the filling in. Have you never made dumplings at home before?"
Yang Tianzhen looked blank and shook her head, saying, "No, my mom and brothers always make it. I just have to wait to eat."
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun both fell silent.
I can't keep talking like this, it's too infuriating!
After searching for a while, Su Yun finally found a topic again, "You said you have five older brothers, what do your five older brothers do? Are they all married?"
Yang Tianzhen shook her head with a smile, "My eldest brother and second brother are married, my third brother has a girlfriend, and my fourth and fifth brothers are still single. My mother has been angry lately because my fourth and fifth brothers refuse to have girlfriends."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao muttered under her breath, "He's so old and doesn't have a girlfriend, could he be gay?"
Yang Tianzhen didn't understand, blinking her eyes, "Huh? What did you just say?"
Fearing she might set a bad example for the children, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head, "I didn't say anything. I just said the melon seeds were delicious, and my aunt's cooking skills are amazing!"
Yang Tianzhen and Su Yun nodded in agreement, "It's delicious, it smells wonderful, and the peanuts are delicious too. They must have been fried with salt, right?"
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at it, "Hmm, boil it in salt water first, and then..."
Qin Xiaoxiao mumbled a whole bunch of things, and the two, who weren't good at cooking, listened with wide eyes. Once Qin Xiaoxiao finally finished, the two quickly changed the subject.
While making dumplings, Qin Yue glared at Qin Xiaoxiao and her two friends with a disgruntled expression. "Mom, why don't my sister and sister-in-law have to make dumplings, but I have to learn how to make them here?"
Sun Zhirou glared at Qin Yue, "Your sister has your brother-in-law, and your sister-in-law is pampered by her five older brothers. What about you? In order not to be disliked by your in-laws in the future, you should study hard and stop thinking about things that don't exist."
With her daughter's personality, she'd be incredibly grateful if she could even get married. It's one thing if she's not good at cooking, but if she can't even make dumplings, her in-laws will definitely look down on her.
For my daughter's happiness, I'll force her to learn how to make dumplings.
