Chapter 74 Chapter 74 I'm marrying into the Qin family, and from now on I'll be part of the Qin family...
"Yunfan." Qin Run called out, fearing that Xu Yunfan would be tired, and took a step forward, intending to take the backpack off Xu Yunfan's back.
Xu Yunfan dodged Qin Run's hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to carry it. I can carry it. I'm used to it."
The words "I'm used to it" almost made Qin Run feel heartbroken. He stubbornly continued to get the backpack. "I'll get it. We still have a long way to go before we get home. I don't want you to get tired. Yunfan, carry it for me."
The tone was similar to that of pleading, and Xu Yunfan almost drifted away.
Xu Yunfan: “…”
Damn, Qin Run really cares about me and loves me so much.
Xu Yunfan was delighted again. Knowing Qin Run was stubborn, he put down his backpack and took turns carrying it. He pulled away the grass on the basket and saw a basket full of chicken mushrooms. He chuckled softly as if he had found a fortune. "Wow, you three brothers picked up so many chicken mushrooms today! We can have a delicious meal tonight."
Xu Yunfan thought that Qin Run must have known that he loved to eat it and found it specially for him.
Qin An and Xiao Ye became familiar with Xu Yunfan and took the initiative to hold Xu Yunfan's hand, fearing that Sun Tiantian would really come and snatch their brother-in-law away.
"I'll cook for you when we get home. Let's go home. The sun is very hot." Qin Run was afraid that Xu Yunfan would get sunburned, so he urged Xu Yunfan to go home and never mentioned what happened just now.
Xu Yunfan took the two little ones' soft hands, squeezed them gently a few times, and then shook them a few times. "Let's go home. Qin Run, cook me some more chicken mushrooms. I'm happy today. The household registration has been handled. We will be a family from now on. Don't worry."
Qin Run immediately understood what the words "don't worry" meant. This sentence was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, making Qin Run completely relieved. His eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll cook more when I get home. I guarantee there will be enough for you."
Qin An and Xiao Ye laughed and followed Xu Yunfan closely.
Qin Run looked at them and didn't feel the sun scorching above his head, but only felt warm.
After dinner, Qin Run kept the remaining chicken mushrooms to refine in the evening. Xu Yunfan went into the woodshed and did something unknown. When he came out, his pockets were bulging.
Xu Yunfan said to Qin Run, who was washing clothes by the well, "Qin Run, I'm going out for a while. I'll just take a stroll around the village."
Qin Run looked up at the sky and asked, "Go out now?"
Xu Yunfan was a little abnormal today. In the past, when he came back from town, he was so hot that he didn't want to go out. Yesterday, he was tempted by the chicken mushrooms. During the meal, he told Xu Yunfan that there were not so many chicken mushrooms. Xu Yunfan was disappointed and said, "Then I won't go looking for them. I'll just stay home."
We were all fine during dinner, but now you're going out again? Don't you feel the sun is too strong?
Xu Yunfan hummed, "I'm going to visit Aunt Qin's house and get in touch with the people from the Qin family. From now on, I will be the man of the Qin family, so I have to let them know about this."
After saying that, Xu Yunfan rushed out of the house.
Qin Run laughed and continued to wash the clothes in the basin.
…
Xu Yunfan put his hands behind his back and passed by the gate of the Qin family's courtyard like a leader inspecting.
When passing by and seeing children or elderly people in the yard, Xu Yunfan immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma are busy."
This is all nonsense.
Even a seventy-year-old man has to help shell corn kernels in this season. Not everyone is like Xu Yunfan, who is so idle that he doesn't work at home in the middle of the day and just wanders around.
But I heard from Hunter Fang that Xu Yunfan is a very smart kid. He made a thing called a thresher for Xiao Qin's family. It is said that you put the corn cobs in, turn the handle, throw a handful of corn cobs in, and what comes out at the end is the corn core. The corn kernels are threshered cleanly.
Therefore, the task of shelling corn kernels is now entirely the responsibility of Qin An and Xiao Ye.
Hey, he's such a smart guy, no wonder others are so busy, but he can still come to visit leisurely.
Of course, they have to admire people like Xu Yunfan, especially the old people, who like Xu Yunfan very much.
Who can blame this kid for being so sweet-mouthed? No matter whether he knows them or not, he calls them grandpa and grandma.
Moreover, Xu Yunfan was very good at chatting with them. The other men would listen to them talk, but after just a few words they would find them too long-winded and just brush off the conversation.
Xu Yunfan was different. No matter what these old people talked about, he listened with great interest and would occasionally interrupt to ask what happened next and what the result was.
In short, no matter what he asked, as long as he asked, it proved that he was listening carefully, and this alone was enough to make these old people happy.
Even if they are old, who doesn't want every word they say to be taken seriously? They are old, but that doesn't mean they don't need to be treated patiently.
Old Qin, the patriarch of the Qin family, saw Xu Yunfan appear outside the courtyard gate and immediately stood up and waved to him, "Xu boy, come in quickly, come in. What have you been busy with recently? It's been a long time since you came to chat with grandpa."
Xu Yunfan walked in with a smile, "Grandpa, I wanted to come too, but I've been too busy lately. Now, I've finally earned some money and registered with the Qin family. I'm happy to think that I'll be a member of the Qin family in the future. And when I'm happy, I think of you, Grandpa. I came here specially to see you, didn't I?"
The others who listened couldn't help laughing, thinking to themselves, this little guy really knows how to coax people, look how he made their father/grandfather laugh so hard that he couldn't stop.
Qin Dayou's wife, the eldest grandson's wife of Qin Lao, hurried to get a stool for Xu Yunfan. "Xu boy, look, my grandfather is so happy when you come. He has been talking about you so many times in the past few days."
"Really? That's because grandpa loves me." Xu Yunfan sat down next to Old Qin without any hesitation, letting the clan leader's grandmother rub his head lovingly.
Xu Yunfan took out a few candies and placed them in the hands of the clan leader's grandmother. "Grandma, today we have completed the household registration. It is a happy event. I specially went to my relatives' house to ask for some candies. Please don't mind."
"Hey, this won't do. You could have just come and told us. Why did you bring such valuable things? I'm old and can't accept them. You can take it back and give it to Ang'er and the others." The clan leader's grandmother declined.
Xu Yunfan smiled and said, "Ange'er and the others have some, grandma. In our place, this is considered wedding candy. The people who eat the wedding candy can share in the good fortune. And you don't want to accept my wedding candy. This is not okay. Could it be that this happy event is not a happy event for you, so you don't accept my wedding candy? Grandma, if you do this, I will be very sad. I came here alone, and Rune'er doesn't have any elders around him. I will have to trouble the clan members for help in the future. You don't recognize me, which makes me embarrassed to trouble you when I have something to do in the future."
Qin Dayou and others: "..."
Xu kid is not just good at talking, he is very good at talking, and what he says is very coherent, which makes people impossible to refuse.
Qin Dayou's wife went to the river to wash clothes yesterday and ran into Qin Er's mother. They chatted while washing and somehow the topic turned to Xu Yunfan. Aunt Qin said at the time: "Xu Yunfan is such a powerful talker. He speaks so well and so logically. Even if it is a crooked theory, it will have a different taste when it comes out of his mouth."
"Look at that kid Xu's mouth. No wonder he dared to challenge Li Tongsheng's mother. He's not afraid at all."
Qin Dayou's wife thought that what Aunt Qin said was a bit exaggerated at the time, but after meeting her today, she finally realized how powerful Xu Yunfan was.
It seems that what Aunt Qin said was absolutely right.
Old Qin laughed out loud. If Xu Yunfan was a few years younger, he would have hugged Xu Yunfan and rubbed his face a few times. "You little brat, even an old man like me can't argue with you."
"Grandpa definitely can't win the argument with me, after all, I'm on the right." Xu Yunfan chatted with the clan leader's family for a few more sentences. For some reason, he suddenly became sad, with the corners of his mouth drooping. With that face of his, any elder who saw him would feel distressed.
The clan leader's grandmother liked Xu Yunfan to begin with, and seeing this, she hurriedly asked, "Hey, what's wrong with our Xu boy? Why are you unhappy?"
Old Qin didn't even bother to peel the corn kernels. "Whoever offended you, tell me and I'll take care of him."
Xu Yunfan: "It's Sun Tiantian's mother. She actually came to my house to ask for my hand in marriage. Isn't she treating me like a beast? I just got registered as a household member in Xiao Qin's family. How could someone marry me as a concubine right after I entered the family? Is this something a human could do? I'm afraid only a heartless man and a beast would do it. Grandpa and grandma, tell me, do I look like a beast when I look like this?"
"Ridiculous." Qin Dayou cursed, "That old woman is shameless."
How could Xu Yunfan come to propose marriage to his own daughter right after marrying into his family?
"What's her intention? Could it be that she saw that Xu boy has made some money recently and can afford to hire people to work, so she wants to curry favor with him?" Qin Dayou's wife heard from several boys in the family that when they went out to cut grass for pigs, if Qin An saw them, and he brought candy with him, sometimes he would even share one with them.
How could Xu Yunfan be so generous if he could buy so many candies for Qin An and Xiao Ye as snacks even though he didn't make any money?
However, even if the Qin family knew about it, they would not take their children to play with Qin An on purpose. Qin Run had finally found a man, and this man would be their Qin family member in the future. They were all from the same family, so how could they take advantage of him like this?
They are old and still want to save face.
When the clan leader heard what her grandson's wife said, she immediately became angry. "Sun, this shameless woman, really thinks her daughter is a flower? No, I have to talk to her."
What Sun Tiantian said to Qin Run was indeed excessive, but Xu Yunfan thought that if he really came to her house, not to mention what others would speculate and say when they saw it, the rumors flying around would not be good for either him or Sun Tiantian.
What if the Sun family turns around and denies the incident, saying that he is narcissistic and wants to ruin Sun Tiantian's reputation? What are their intentions? What should we do then?
Xu Yunfan could only ask the clan leader’s grandmother to say a few words to them and ask them to give up the idea.
Others don’t know about private matters, but at least Sun Tiantian still has her dignity saved.
"Grandma, you have to go talk to the Sun family. My father often warned me that one should be faithful to one person, whether it's marrying a wife or a husband. My family's ancestral precepts don't allow having three wives and four concubines. If I break this ancestral precepts, my father will break my legs when he finds out." Xu Yunfan sounded aggrieved when he spoke. He looked so aggrieved that if anyone didn't know him, they would think he was being bullied. The two old people felt very distressed when they saw him.
The clan leader's grandmother even called out to her good grandson, "Good grandson, grandma will help you. I will go find her later. Don't feel wronged."
After getting the promise, the grievance on Xu Yunfan's face disappeared, replaced by a sweet smile of being well-behaved and sensible, "Grandma is still the best, Grandma, you really love me, Grandma, have some candy."
After saying that, Xu Yunfan picked up a candy from the palm of the clan leader's grandmother and put it into the old lady's mouth which was missing several teeth.
Her mouth felt sweet, and when she heard Xu Yunfan say such nice and sweet words, the clan leader's grandmother smiled from ear to ear and couldn't help but rub Xu Yunfan's head.
Qin Dayou and his other grandchildren felt a little sour when they saw them. Ever since they had sons and their grandmother had great-grandchildren, they had been banished to the cold palace just like their father and uncles. Their grandmother had only been so loving and kind to her great-grandchildren. Now...
Although he sounds sour, Xu Yunfan is a sweet-mouthed person who knows how to talk and is especially good at coaxing people. Didn’t you see that last time, this guy got along well with everyone in the tribe, from grandpa and grandma to toddlers?
Who can not like such a person?
So, even though they were jealous, they didn't really hate Xu Yunfan.
After Xu Yunfan left, the clan leader's grandmother, with a sweet taste in her mouth that reached her heart, looked at the candy in her hand. Once she saw it, she couldn't take her eyes off it.
Wow, she has never seen such candy in her sixty-plus years of life.
Not to mention him, even the people in the village can’t eat a single piece of candy all year round. The most they have ever seen is brown sugar, and they can only look at white sugar but not buy it.
But now, the candy in my hand is not only beautiful in color, but also very cute in pattern.
Not to mention the clan leader's grandmother, even Old Qin and the others were shocked on the spot.
"Grandma Zeng..."
One of the great-grandsons called out weakly, and Qin Dayou and his friends finally came to their senses.
Seeing the great-grandson staring at the candy with his saliva almost dripping down his chin, the clan leader grandmother divided the candy between the two great-grandsons, one each, no more.
She wanted to put the rest away, but then she thought about how long it had been since the family had bought candy. Not only would the great-grandchildren be greedy, but the adults would be too. If she ate some, others would have nothing to eat, which would be bad.
After thinking about it, she simply gave each of them one candy. Qin Dayou's wife got a candy, licked it, and immediately couldn't bear to eat it. She put it away, thinking of leaving it for her grandson. "Grandma, when are you going to Sun's house? I'll go with you. Otherwise, if we really quarrel, I'm afraid you can't win alone."
If you eat someone's candy, you have to do your best to serve them.
Xu Yunfan wandered around the village and distributed all the candies in his pocket before returning home contentedly. Now, the fact that he was Qin Run's young husband was no longer just a verbal matter. It was a settled matter with the household registration as proof.
Let’s see who dares to say he will leave in the future.
When Li Yunfei's family heard about this, their back gums were almost broken.
It's just a matter of marrying into the wife's family, why did Xu Yunfan make such a fuss? Wasn't it just to slap them in the face?
Many people in the Li family had said that Xu Yunfan would leave, but today, they were slapped in the face.
Xu Yunfan's action was to tell them, look, he, Xu Yunfan, not only did not leave Xiao Qin's house and abandon Qin Run, but he also married into the Xiao Qin's family and made money. Because of marrying into the Xiao Qin's family, he was so happy that he waved his hand and bought a lot of wedding candies to give out.
It can be seen that this guy is extremely happy, otherwise who would spend money like this?
But if you say that Xu Yunfan just gave out wedding candies, since he was so thoughtful, why didn’t he hold a wedding banquet for Qin Run?
People have made a statement about this matter.
When Xu Yunfan faced questions from Qin's grandparents, he said, "The marriage definitely has to happen. We're handing out wedding candy today because we're both registered under the same household registration. This is a happy event, so we have to hand out candy to celebrate. It doesn't mean that I won't hold the marriage just because I hand out wedding candy. We only get married once in our lifetime, so why shouldn't we? But my family has a rule that a man can only get married when he reaches the age of twenty. I'm still a few months away, so the marriage won't happen for a few more months."
In the eyes of the villagers, Xu Yunfan's words conveyed two messages. One was that he attached great importance to the household registration, and the other was, "Marry once in a lifetime." What did this sentence mean?
So, divorce? Divorcing and remarrying, that's impossible. Even if he wanted to remarry, he wouldn't hold a wedding. What kind of person is this who would welcome her into the house without holding a wedding?
To put it bluntly, you are a concubine, and you were a mistress in the past.
Except for a few families, the rest of the Li family looked down on the Qin family, and even more so on Qin Run.
I thought Xiao Qin's family would always be the topic of their conversation and jokes, but I never thought that they were lucky enough to pick up a little man.
Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, Aunt Li picked up a basket of corn to shell the kernels and to enjoy the cool breeze. Several aunts and husbands from nearby families came over.
Like Aunt Li, each of them had a basket of corn cobs in front of them.
A man who had been married for only a few months had been constantly peeling corn kernels. The blisters on his palms and fingertips kept popping and growing, and it was so hot and painful that even going to the toilet to poop was painful. "Oh, there's still a pile of corn left to be peeled at home, and I don't know when I'll finish it. This time of year is both exciting and frustrating. I heard that the man in Xiao Qin's family made a thresher that's very useful."
Qin An and Xiao Ye were diligent. They threshed all the corn that Fang the hunter had harvested that was dry enough to be threshed. Those that were not dry enough needed to be dried in the sun for a day or two before they could be threshed. For this reason, Qin Run sent the thresher to Aunt Qin's house and let them use it for a day.
Even so, after Qin Er and others praised him, everyone in the village knew that the man from Qin's family was not only able to make money, but also could make a wheelbarrow and a thresher.
