"Jiandang, Jianguo, eat your meal before going back. Auntie will kill a chicken for you." After returning to the village, Zhou Danxiu held the two men's hands and did not let them go back.
In recent years, thanks to the support and care from my sister's family, their lives have been getting better and better.
Whenever they have any problems, the two brothers Jiandang come to help them.
Now that the two of them have finally come here, she just wants to cook a good meal for them.
"I'll go kill the chicken right now!" Old Man Wei was even more straightforward. He went to the chicken coop without saying a word and prepared to pick the fattest chicken to slaughter.
Qin Jiandang saw this and said hurriedly: "Uncle, please stop working. It will be dark when we go back now.
Wait until after dinner before going back, it’s not safe at night.”
"Then stay here for one night. Your two cousins and I have separated, and there is an empty room in my aunt's house for you to stay in." Zhou Danxiu continued.
Qin Jiandang shook his head repeatedly: "No, we will be back too late, our family will be worried."
"Yes, auntie, when the children are on vacation some other day, I will bring them to see you." Qin Jianguo echoed.
Seeing that the two were determined to leave, Zhou Danxiu didn't want to keep them anymore, so he took out a bag of peach cakes from his room and said, "Take this with you and eat it on the way."
"We are not hungry. You can keep it and eat it slowly with your uncle." Qin Jianguo did not take it and refused to accept it no matter what.
Zhou Danxiu pretended to be unhappy: "If you don't take it, it means you look down on Auntie. Auntie has been eating and drinking for free at your house for so many days, so what's wrong with you eating some of Auntie's peach cakes?"
"How can that be called free food and free drinks? We are a family, aunt, don't think like that." Qin Jianguo said hurriedly.
"As long as you accept this peach cake, auntie won't think too much about it." Zhou Danxiu handed over the peach cake in his hand again.
Seeing this, the two had no choice but to accept it.
Their aunt is just too polite and is always afraid of taking advantage of them.
Then the two of them went home. They were sweating after walking a long distance.
The ice and snow outside had not melted yet, but they did not feel any cold.
When I got home, it was just getting dark.
From a distance, I could see white smoke rising from my chimney and smell the faint aroma of food.
At this moment, Old Lady Qin and several daughters-in-law were cooking dinner in the kitchen. Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked in an orderly manner.
As for the children, each of them sat by the fire, holding a puppy in their arms, for fear that the puppy would be cold.
The puppies that were not hugged were just touching them with their hands. The puppies squinted their eyes, and I don’t know if they were sleepy or bored.
As for Ergouzi and his wife, the two dogs were snuggling together in the doghouse.
The puppy has been weaned, and the two dogs hardly take care of the child anymore, living like a fairy couple every day.
It's great to have someone take care of the child. I don't have to worry about anything.
I just feel sorry for these puppies, their fur is almost falling off.
Sometimes the children would fight over the dog and no one would give in.
Qin Han was so annoyed by all the noise that he asked Ergouzi and Beibennu to work hard and have another litter so that everyone could have a puppy of their own.
Ergouzi felt sorry for his wife and couldn't bear to see her suffer like this.
But when it came to doing bad things, it never took it easy. Every time it made Beibei walk abnormally. Qin Han just felt it was too unbearable to watch.
Judging from the way the two dogs are doing bad things so frequently, Beibei is afraid that it won’t be long before she gets pregnant again.
"You bunch of kids, you hold the puppy in your arms every day. The puppy must be tired of you holding it." Qin Jiandang walked into the living room and couldn't help laughing at the scene in front of him.
"How can I be annoyed? I'm obviously enjoying myself. Look, Xiaoyi is so comfortable that he even fell asleep."
Qin Man was holding Xiaoyi in his arms. She was a little female dog with yellow fur and erect ears. At first glance, she looked like a combination of Ergou and Xiaoyi.
However, Qin Han had seen Xiaoyi struggling to get off him more than once, but he ignored her every time.
I guess Xiaoyi knew that struggling was useless, so he just gave in and let Qin Man do whatever he wanted.
So, it's not that it's asleep, but that it's just messing around with its eyes closed.
Qin Jiandang didn't believe what his sons said either. When they were at home, they would either do their homework or play with a puppy. The puppy had almost become their toy.
I really don’t know whether it is good or bad for this dog to be born in Lao Qin’s family.
"Hurry up and put the dog down and wash your hands. Your great aunt gave you a bag of peach cakes, just enough for each of you to have one!" Qin Jianguo put the peach cake on the table.
Nowadays, it is a luxury for a family to have peach cakes.
But the children in Lao Qin's family never lacked food and clothing.
The peach cakes no longer appealed to them, so they said they would eat them later.
No matter how delicious this peach cake is, can it be as fun as petting a dog?
Seeing that they didn't want to eat it, Qin Jianguo took a piece and took a big bite: "Children nowadays are so lucky that they don't even want to eat such good things.
It’s not like when we were kids and there was a famine, when people were so hungry that even the bark on the roadside was eaten up, let alone such good food.”
"In my opinion, we should let them experience what it was like when we went hungry for nine meals in three days. Then they won't be so picky about food." Qin Jiandang followed up.
The two brothers didn't eat the peach cakes on the way because they wanted to give them to the children when they came back, so that each of them could have a piece.
As a result, these kids didn't even look at the peach cakes. It turned out that they were used to a good life and didn't know the sufferings of the world.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Man expressed his dissatisfaction: "Dad, you can't let us experience the hardships just because you have suffered.
Times are changing, and we no longer have much desire for food. This shows that our family is getting better and better, isn't that a good thing?"
"That's right. Don't you have an umbrella when it rains, and you won't allow us to hide from the rain?" Qin Lu also echoed.
"Hey, what kind of kids are these? When did we tell you not to hide from the rain?" Qin Jiandang was so angry at what the two said.
Qin Yu immediately explained: "This is an analogy, which means that you can't let us experience your suffering just because we don't eat peach cakes.
Life should get better and better, and we suffered enough when we were young.
Although I didn’t go hungry nine times out of three days, I still worried about the next meal after eating the last one.”
Her words reminded Qin Jiandang and his brother of the past.
In fact, their life in the village was pretty good before, one of the best.
It was after Jianjun became addicted to gambling that his life became increasingly worse, and in the end he became one of the poorest people in the village.
"You've grown up now, and I can't argue with you. If you don't want to eat it, we can eat it ourselves." Qin Jianguo said as he stuffed himself with another big bite of peach cake.
This child has grown up and has become very eloquent.
Qin Han also admired the eloquence of the two people, but he felt that what they said was quite right.
Now that life is better, it's normal to have things you don't like to eat.
