Chapter 21: No Time for Mortal Affairs



Everything was done quietly. Qin Han looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

A ray of sunlight in the early morning shines on the parallel lines, illuminating most of the sky.

The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and under the reflection of the sunrise, it is so beautiful that it looks like a fairyland on earth.

After more than half a month of snow, Zaojiazhuang welcomed its first sunny day.

There is no habit of sleeping in in the countryside, and every household gets up early to make breakfast.

The people from the Lao Qin family gathered in Xie Yuwei's room again.

Seeing the potatoes and rice appear in the room, they were both surprised and surprised.

There was no rice or potatoes in the room for more than ten days, and they thought they would never have them again.

Who would have thought that not only would they reappear, but God would also be so considerate as to put them into sacks.

"Ahem, ahem, why are you all standing there? Hurry up and move all the things to the cellar." Old Mrs. Qin was the first to come back to her senses.

The three Qin brothers then carried the sacks and walked towards the cellar.

Old man Qin was also helping. Although he was old and frail, the thing rural people had the most was strength.

After a while, all the things were carried into the cellar.

Old Mrs. Qin sent all the children out of the room and motioned her three daughters-in-law to kneel down in front of the window.

He also said very devoutly: "Thank God for helping our Qin family. We have no way to repay you. Please accept our worship."

After saying this, she kowtowed three times.

Zhang Xiumei's three sisters-in-law also knelt down and worshipped. The sudden appearance of food in the house could not have been man-made.

So, it can only be God helping them.

They were extremely grateful for this worship!

On the bed, the corners of Qin Han's mouth twitched.

"I don't know whether I should say they are superstitious or not!"

The immortals in the sky are all busy practicing, so they have no time to care about the affairs of mortals.

In the past, even if someone starved to death in front of him, he wouldn't even blink an eye.

But after entering this mortal body, he felt as if he had flesh and blood.

The face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years now had a different expression.

He has to experience all the joys, sorrows, anger, happiness, sourness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness and saltiness. Only in this way can he feel complete.

While having breakfast in the morning, Old Lady Qin spoke.

"Big brother, I'm afraid you'll have to trouble me again tonight. I plan to sell some more food. The Chinese New Year is only half a month away.

Let's buy some more cloth, and then your wife and I will make new clothes for the children.

If conditions permit, let’s buy some New Year’s goods so that our family can have a good New Year this year!”

The children who were eating porridge suddenly had light in their eyes when they heard that they could wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Their tender little faces were filled with excited and happy smiles.

They haven't worn new clothes for a long time. Every time they see other children wearing them, they envy them for a long time.

But they didn't dare tell the adults for fear of being scolded and accused of being ignorant.

Now they heard from their grandmother herself that she was going to make new clothes for them, how could they not be excited.

Qin Jiandang nodded and said, "Okay, our family has indeed been living a difficult life over the past two years, and the children have suffered a lot.

But in addition to buying new clothes for the children, you and Dad should also buy some new clothes."

"Yes, Mom, you and Dad should also make a new set of clothes. You haven't worn new clothes for many years." Zhang Xiumei agreed.

"Actually, it's okay for the children not to wear new clothes, but you are the elders of the family and have devoted most of your lives to this family. We should be filial to you." Xie Yuwei has always been grateful to her parents-in-law.

The second son's family also followed suit.

Only with such sensible parents-in-law can their family live in such harmony.

Unlike their sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law from their mother's side, who want to squeeze the last drop of blood out of their parents, the old couple are easily influenced by their parents.

Even though he was bullied like that, he not only didn't complain, but he also worked hard for them without complaint.

The daughters tried to persuade them many times but it was of no use. They could only help them secretly, but the things ended up in the hands of their sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

After so many times, their hearts grew cold and they didn't want to care about the old couple's affairs anymore.

If it weren't for the fact that this year was particularly difficult for my mother-in-law's family, they would not have returned to their parents' home and used the excuse of asking for food.

Just because of this, their sister-in-law said countless sarcastic words.

But they didn't say any of this.

Because they don't want to make their mother-in-law feel bad, they, as daughters-in-law, can't help the Qin family much, so they can only avoid causing trouble.

"Your father and I are both old, why do we need new clothes? We can wear the old clothes at home.

My biggest wish is that my family can have enough food and warm clothes. "Old lady Qin has been wearing the same clothes for ten years, and some of them are so torn that they can no longer be repaired.

But as long as she can wear it, she won't be willing to change it.

Old man Qin has started smoking dry tobacco again recently, and he doesn't care about these external things.

When he heard that his son and daughter-in-law wanted to buy clothes for him, his heart was warmed, at least his love for them was not in vain.

But he had the same idea as the old woman. He sat at the door, shook off the cigarette ashes and said in a low voice, "I heard from your mother that we don't need new clothes. Let the children wear them first."

Qin Jiandang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Old Lady Qin: "Let's put this matter behind us. Remember to sell the hares and pheasants.

I thought about it and decided that it is too risky to sell things on the black market, so it would be more convenient to supply the goods directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives. Otherwise, it would take too much time to wait for you to sell them at scattered points.

Tomorrow morning, you go and talk to the person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative. The prerequisite is that you ask the director of the supply and marketing cooperative not to inquire about the origins of our things, otherwise we will not sell them to him.
