"Dad, Mom, put on your coats quickly, or you'll catch a cold!" Jiang Yuxin took out the old couple's coats from their room and put them on them.
"Is there anything else to do at home?" Qin Jianye finished his breakfast, put away the dishes and prepared to go to the kitchen to wash them.
Seeing this, Old Lady Qin took the dishes from his hands and said, "Let me clean up. You and Xinyun must have driven all night to get here. Go back to your room and rest. I changed the sheets and quilt yesterday."
Qin Jiandang agreed: "Yes, we can do any housework at home, you two can take care of your spirits."
It was a rare trip home, so Qin Jianye was full of energy and didn't feel sleepy at all. He turned to look at Xinyun and asked, "Do you want to go back to your room and sleep for a while?"
Yang Xinyu took a nap last night when she and Jianye took turns driving, and she was not sleepy now either.
Today is New Year's Eve, how can I just lie in bed?
But it was true that the two of them wanted to take a bath. When she heard that Jianye and Xinyun wanted to take a bath, Old Lady Qin hurried to the kitchen to boil hot water.
Unlike in the city, they have shower rooms in the countryside where they can take a shower while standing.
Country women can only sit in the bathtub to wash, while men wash with their bare chests and pour water from buckets on their bodies.
It’s okay when it’s hot, but taking a shower when it’s cold requires courage like Fish Leong.
But as long as Han'er is around, the people in the Qin family never feel cold when taking a bath.
It was already eleven o'clock when they finished their shower and changed into their regular clothes.
Yang Xinyu's clothes were made by her mother-in-law herself. She brought them specially to wear during the New Year. This was the first time she wore them in public.
I have to say, as long as a person is good-looking, any clothes they wear will look like they are from a famous brand.
Coming out of the room, she picked up the clothes she and Jianye had taken off and prepared to go to the backyard to wash them.
"You go and take a rest, I'll do the washing." Qin Jianye put on a high-necked wool sweater and thick overalls. Although his outfit was very cool, his actions showed that he was a warm-hearted man.
"No need, I'll do it. How can a grown man wash clothes?" Yang Xinyue dodged.
Seeing this, Qin Jianye took the wooden basin without hesitation: "There is nothing in this world that a man cannot do. I don't care about others, but I will take care of my wife."
Looking at the man walking towards the water pressure well, Yang Xinyu couldn't help but smile happily.
Before, she only knew Jianye was a straight man, but she didn't expect that he would be so considerate in their married life.
For example, as long as he is at home, he will take care of all the housework and he doesn't want to get tired at all.
Her eight years of waiting were indeed worth it.
If possible, in the next life, or the next life after that, she still wants to be husband and wife with Jianye.
“I only knew Jianye was filial before, but I never thought he loved his wife so much that he even didn’t want her to wash his clothes.
As expected, good husbands are from other families, unlike some husbands who don’t even reach out to help when the soy sauce bottle at home falls over. "When Zhang Xiumei said this, she deliberately glanced at her husband, and her meaning was self-evident.
Qin Jiandang, who was chopping firewood in the backyard, felt very aggrieved when he heard his wife's ulterior motives.
He thought that he was a very qualified husband. He had always been taking care of all the big and small things at home. Except for cooking, there was nothing he had not done.
Like washing clothes, although he didn't wash them every day, he did wash them. But when he was in front of his wife, he became a lazy man who didn't know how to love his wife. He was really shot while lying down.
He was about to retort, but Xiumei turned and went into the kitchen.
After staying in the space for two hours, Qin Han finally walked out of the space. When he came out, he picked some pears. The pears in the space had not been sprayed with pesticides, so they were clean and did not need to be washed.
As soon as he came out, he walked towards the backyard with a pear in each hand.
Looking at his aunt who was pressing water, he stretched out his right hand and said, "Aunt, here's a pear for you."
Looking at the pear as big as Han'er's face, Yang Yun showed a surprised expression: "Wow, this pear is so big, thank you Han'er!"
As she spoke, she reached out to take one, then simply washed it with well water and started eating it immediately.
As soon as I bit into the mouth, the juice of the pear flowed out, and it was so sweet that it went straight to my heart. The food at Lao Qin's house is just delicious.
Seeing that his aunt was enjoying her meal, Qin Han brought a small stool and sat not far from his uncle. He ate a pear while watching his uncle wash clothes. This uncle was truly a good man.
"Jianye, do you want to eat it?" Yang Xinyue handed the pear she had bitten to her husband's mouth.
Just as Qin Jianye was about to open his mouth to take a bite, Han'er's voice rang out: "Uncle, you can't eat it!"
"Why?" Qin Jianye did not bite again, but looked at Han'er in confusion.
"Sharing a pear means separation. A husband and wife cannot eat the same pear together. My uncle doesn't even understand this. He's so stupid!" Qin Han explained.
This explanation made Qin Jianye laugh and cry: "Han'er, I didn't expect you to be so superstitious at such a young age."
He never believed such talk, but Yang Xinyu felt a little concerned after hearing it and refused to give it to Jianye no matter what.
Qin Han ignored his uncle's expression as he wanted to eat. He sat right opposite his uncle, swinging his legs and eating the pear comfortably. He looked like a lazy kitten.
Looking at Han'er's appearance, Qin Jianye felt helpless: "You did it on purpose."
"Well...uncle, what do you mean? I don't understand!" Qin Han looked confused.
Knowing that Han'er was playing dumb, Qin Jianye snorted, "You're eating pears in front of me, but you don't let your aunt give me any. You're just deliberately making me greedy."
"No, I'm watching my uncle washing clothes. My uncle loves me so much, he's really a great man!" Qin Han said while giving a thumbs up.
"You just tease your uncle. I want to see if you love your wife more than I do when you get married."
Qin Han immediately said: "That's impossible, I don't want to get married, and I don't want a wife."
He has been single for tens of thousands of years and has long been accustomed to being alone.
But getting married is not something you can just do. Once you get married, it means there will be a lot of mess, just like what happened to the Master and his wife.
For thousands of years, the two of them almost overturned the demon world because of their love affairs.
Although they broke up and got back together many times, they were still together in the end, but he got a headache when he thought about the whole process.
So, if you can avoid touching feelings, then don’t do it.
At noon, Old Lady Qin prepared a few simple dishes and everyone had a few bites.
After dinner, the men took offerings to the mountain to worship their ancestors.
This is also the custom here. They need to go up the mountain to worship on New Year's Eve.
Qin Han had nothing to do, so he followed them, with Er Gouzi leading the way.
Old Mrs. Qin Qin and her four daughters-in-law were kneading dough in the kitchen, planning to make dumplings in the evening.
I met many villagers from Zaojiazhuang on the mountain, and they all came to offer sacrifices.
When they saw Ergouzi, many people called him "Master Dog".
