"Mom, this child looks so adorable, can you let me hold him?" Weidong's daughter-in-law Li Yong stood beside her mother-in-law, looking eager to try.
After holding the child for a while, Zhou Danxiu felt a little tired and stopped trying to be tough, so he handed the child to his eldest daughter-in-law.
Li Yong carefully held Qin Han and asked Qin Qiu with a smile: "Qiu'er, can your little brother speak?"
Qin Qiu nodded: "I can say some simple words."
"This child started talking quite early. He started talking when he was only eight or nine months old." Zhou Danxiu's second daughter-in-law Wang Zhaodi was a little surprised.
"Come and eat watermelon, sister-in-law. Give Han'er to Qiu'er to hold!" Zhang Xiumei came over from the kitchen holding a watermelon weighing about 30 kilograms.
"Why is this watermelon so big?" Wei Chengbao was shocked by the size of the watermelon.
"Brother-in-law, these are the watermelons grown in our private plots. Each one is this big. When you go back, you can take two with you and enjoy them slowly!" Old Mrs. Qin said that these were the watermelons grown in her own fields, with a look of pride on her face.
In the entire Zaojiazhuang, no family grows watermelons as big as those of the Qin family.
Zhang Xiumei cut a large piece of watermelon and first gave it to her aunt and uncle, and then to Weidong Weimin's children.
Mr. and Mrs. Weidong and Weimin took one piece for themselves.
Later, Qin Qiu and his group of children came to eat. This was what the adults taught them: when there are guests at home, everything should be done according to the guests' wishes.
"This watermelon is so sweet, just like drinking sugar water." Wei Dong took a bite and it was full of juice and extremely sweet. It was better than any watermelon he had ever eaten.
Others didn't have time to talk, they were all enjoying the watermelon.
Li Yong held Qin Han in his arms, unwilling to let go, so he held the child in one hand and ate watermelon with the other, making Qin Han drool with envy.
It’s not that Li Yong didn’t want to feed him, but she was afraid that Han’er was too young to eat. If he got diarrhea after eating, she would become a sinner.
But her little daughter didn't know that Wei Shuangshuang was holding the watermelon in her hands and was reluctant to eat it. She looked at her little brother in her mother's arms with a timid face: "Mom, can my little brother eat the watermelon?"
When Qin Han heard the voice, he lowered his head to look at the little kid in front of him. The kid looked even worse than his brothers and sisters when he first arrived at Old Qin's house.
At that time, they were at most pale and thin, looking malnourished.
But this child was not only skinny, his head was bigger than his body, and he looked top-heavy and a bit weird.
This is no longer ordinary malnutrition, there is definitely something wrong with the body.
There was another boy as well. Qin Han used his spiritual sense to scan their bodies a few times and found that the positions of their hearts were shrouded in a foul air.
Obviously, both of them have heart problems. If they are not discovered and treated in time, I am afraid that if time goes on, even the Golden Immortal will not be able to cure them.
Just as Qin Han was spying on the two with his spiritual sense, Li Yong's voice rang out: "Shuangshuang, be good. Brother Han'er is still too young to eat watermelon. Eat it by yourself!"
Wei Shuangshuang was a little disappointed when she heard that the little brother couldn’t eat watermelon. It was so pitiful that the little brother couldn’t eat such a good thing.
"Sister-in-law, Han'er has eaten watermelon before and has never had any adverse reactions. But you can't eat too much!" Zhang Xiumei said from the side.
After hearing this, Wei Shuangshuang's eyes brightened instantly, and without hesitation she handed the watermelon to Qin Han: "Brother, this is for you!"
Seeing the watermelon in his mouth, how could Qin Han not eat it? He opened his mouth and took a big bite.
In hot summer weather like this, watermelon is like a life-saving elixir.
However, this little brat looked like he really wanted to eat it, but he fed it to me with his hands. He was so kind that it made me feel sorry for him.
As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who receives someone's gifts will be obliged to return the favor.
It seems that since she feeds me watermelon, I should help her get rid of some miasma. At least her condition won't get worse this year, Qin Han thought.
"Shuangshuang is so sensible. She fed the first piece of watermelon to her younger brother." Zhang Xiumei looked at Wei Shuangshuang with loving eyes.
"Sister, why are these two children so thin?" Old Mrs. Qin asked with concern.
As soon as they arrived, she noticed that the two youngest children were frighteningly thin.
Zhou Danxiu, who was eating watermelon, suddenly felt that the watermelon in his mouth was not fragrant anymore, and his face was full of worry: "These two children were quite normal when they were just born, but after they were one year old, they started to lose weight. No matter what they ate, it was useless, they just didn't grow meat.
Don’t look at them because they are thin. In fact, any delicious food at home is given to them first.”
She has the same philosophy as Old Lady Qin. She does not favor boys over girls and loves all her grandchildren equally.
The same goes for school. As long as the child is willing to study, even if you don’t have money, you will borrow money to send the child to school.
"Then didn't you take them to see it?" asked Old Lady Qin.
Li Yong replied: "I went to the health center, but they didn't find any problems!"
"It's a pity that Doctor Xiao is not here, otherwise he would be able to tell what the problem is by taking my pulse." Zhang Xiumei's expression showed some regret.
Hearing this, Li Yong immediately became interested: "Is this Doctor Xiao's medical skills good? Do you know where he went?"
"His medical skills are very good, but he has been away for more than a month and has not returned. I guess he went back home, but no one knows where his home is!"
While they were talking, Qin Han had already injected the spiritual power in his body into Wei Shuangshuang's body by touching her hands.
Wei Shuangshuang is still too young and cannot withstand too much spiritual power.
Before she reached her limit, Qin Han withdrew his spiritual power.
If someone looks at Wei Shuangshuang carefully, they will find that her complexion has improved a lot and her lifeless eyes have become much brighter.
In the end, the topic came to nothing. Thinking that there was still a lot of work to do in the kitchen, Mrs. Qin went to the kitchen to get busy.
The eldest and second child were driven out of the kitchen and asked to chat with the aunt and uncle.
The two of them are not only a help but a hindrance in the kitchen. The eldest can't cook, and the second one can cook but is always clumsy.
So unless it was necessary, Old Lady Qin would not let them into the kitchen.
The two brothers Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianguo looked at the newcomers and greeted them with a smile.
Seeing that the third brother was the only one missing, Zhou Danxiu couldn't help but ask, "Where's Jianjun?"
As soon as she said this, the expressions of Qin Jiandang and his brother changed. They looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this question.
Qin Xia was the one who spoke quickly: "Dad is dead!"
Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their ears.
In the end, Zhou Danxiu looked at Qin Xia reproachfully: "How could you say such an unlucky thing, kid?"
Although she knew that Qin Jianjun had ruined her sister's family with gambling, she didn't know about the bad things Qin Han had done after he was born.
Qin Xia was unconvinced and said, "Even if he died and was buried in the ground, my sisters and I would still kowtow to him!"
Qin Xia spoke in a very organized manner and didn't seem to be talking nonsense.
Zhou Danxiu's expression became serious: "Jiandang, what's going on? Is the third brother really gone?"
There was no way to hide this kind of thing, and there was nothing to hide. Qin Jiandang nodded and said, "Aunt, it's true. It happened a while ago."
