Qin Jianjun looked at Lao Wu's back and said uncertainly, "Could it be that Lao Wu is back?"
Speaking of Lao Wu, he couldn't help but feel scared.
Speaking of his family, the only person he was afraid of was his younger brother, who was seven years younger than him.
He had been scolded by him when he went home to visit his relatives before, and he still has psychological trauma from it.
When he left, I was well behaved for a while, but after several months, I started to make trouble at home again.
After listening to the third brother's words, Qin Jianguo looked at the people in the yard and felt that they were not similar.
This man was obviously much taller than Lao Wu. Seeing his mother, he immediately asked loudly, "Mom, are there any guests at home?"
Old Lady Qin turned around and looked at the two people who had returned from the ground, and replied with a smile: "It's your little brother who has returned!"
Qin Jianye also turned around and looked at the second and third brothers. He first respectfully called me "Second Brother".
Then his gaze fell on the third brother, and his eyes instantly turned cold and his expression tense.
Qin Jianjun was frightened by his eyes, fearing that he would suddenly come over and beat him up, so he couldn't help but smile ingratiatingly: "Little...little brother, you're back!"
"Oh hey, Lao Wu, did you eat urea? How come you're taller than me?" Seeing that he was really his younger brother, Qin Jianguo excitedly put down the fertilizer bag in his hand, walked to Lao Wu, and looked him up and down.
Qin Jianye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Second brother, when I went home last time, I was only eighteen years old. I still had a chance to grow taller, but I won't be able to grow taller in the future."
"Well, it's pretty good, but what happened to you and my little sister? You both came home injured. Is our Qin family unlucky this year?
This one either has a broken arm or a broken leg, even the boss has a head injury." Qin Jianguo frowned.
He was not a superstitious person, but when so much food appeared out of nowhere in his house, he could not help but believe it.
Now that people in my family have been having accidents one after another, I am thinking about whether I should go to the Bodhisattva temple to worship.
"Mom, let's talk later. I'm starving to death!" Qin Jiayi said while touching his empty stomach at the door.
Old Lady Qin waved her hand and said, "Don't say anything, let's eat first."
At the dining table, Qin Jianye looked at the delicious food and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the food in our house is not bad!"
"These pheasants and rabbits were caught and raised by your elder and second brothers in the mountains. Come and taste them to see how they taste." Old Lady Qin explained.
The few people did not doubt the old lady's words. In the mountains, it was normal to catch some wild game as long as you were willing to work hard.
Qin Jianye and his sister, as well as Xiao Xu, couldn't wait to start eating. Before they started eating, they could already imagine how good the food would taste.
It was not until they put it in their mouths that they realized they were too conservative. The taste was several times better than they had imagined.
"Auntie Qin, your cooking skills are so good. I have never eaten such delicious food in my life. How do you make it?" Xiao Xu asked with his mouth stuffed full and a curious look on his face.
He felt a little regretful. After eating the food prepared by Qin Lian's mother, he was afraid that he would not be able to swallow the food he would eat when he returned to the army.
"Mom, I haven't been back for a few years. How come your cooking skills have become so good? You can even be a chef in a state-owned restaurant." Qin Jiayi has always been very restrained when it comes to eating because of her job.
But now, for the first time, she had the idea of giving up and just wanted to eat until she was full.
Although Qin Jianye didn't say anything, the way he spoke one mouthful after another said it all.
He has been working with both hands since he was young, such as playing marbles, and he can hit the ball accurately with his left hand.
So even if his right hand was injured, he could still eat normally with his left hand.
Seeing that the children all liked the food she cooked, Old Lady Qin smiled and said, "Actually, this is my homely way of cooking. If you think it tastes good, then eat more."
"I am so happy that I can eat the food my mother cooks as soon as I get home." Qin Jia looked very satisfied as she ate.
The loneliness and reluctance I felt when I just returned home from the army have been much alleviated by the care of my family.
"Little sister, my sister-in-law's cooking is delicious. I'll cook for you some other day." Zhang Xiumei said.
"And me, I'm also a good cook." Zhao Yan echoed.
They have long discovered that no matter who cooks, as long as it is not too salty or too bland, the taste will be first-rate.
That's why I dared to volunteer.
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law and second sister-in-law!" Qin Jiayi smiled and picked up a chicken leg for her little niece.
This was originally left by Old Lady Qin for her and Lao Wu to eat, but she thought the chicken leg was better given to the child.
Besides, her leg injury can’t be healed by eating chicken legs.
Xiao Xu looked at the family's way of getting along with each other and felt a little envious: "Qin Lian, your family has a really good relationship, unlike our family, where we are all just pretending to be harmonious but not really being harmonious."
The reason he chose to join the army was because he was tired of the hypocrisy at home.
He could feel that this family got along very sincerely and cared about each other.
"Hurry up and eat. Food can't stop you from talking!" Qin Jianye glanced at Qin Jianjun vaguely and didn't want to continue the topic.
Qin Jianjun didn't dare to sit at the table to eat, for he was afraid that he would be frozen to death by the cold air released by his younger brother. So he picked up some food and squatted at the door to eat.
But he still felt a chill, as if a thorn in his back.
At noon, Qin Jiayi ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, and her belly was bulging.
Qin Jianye and Xiao Xu finished six big bowls of rice. As soldiers, they had big appetites to begin with, and the food tasted great, so they couldn't help but eat to their heart's content.
Especially Qin Jianye and his companions who were eating for the first time, they clearly felt that after the meal, they felt much more relaxed and their fatigue was fading away.
After the meal, Zhang Xiumei and Zhao Yan took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Xiao Xu originally wanted to take on the work, after all, he had eaten for free and it would be embarrassing not to do any work, but he was rejected.
But he felt uncomfortable sitting here doing nothing, so he decided to go back early.
Before leaving, Old Lady Qin gave him some dried sweet potatoes for him to eat on the road.
She made these dried sweet potatoes herself. The thing that her family has the most now is agricultural products.
Xiao Xu took it and thanked him repeatedly, then looked at Qin Lian with an expression that seemed to want to say something but was hesitant to speak, because he knew that if he left, he would probably never see Qin Lian again.
"Stop dawdling and go back quickly. You don't need to worry about me here!" Qin Jianye knew what he wanted to say, but what he needed least right now was comfort.
Xiao Xu took a deep breath and smiled: "I'm leaving now, Qin Lian, take care!"
"Yeah, you too, be careful on the road!" Qin Jianye nodded slightly.
After watching Xiao Xu drive away, Qin Jianye turned around and prepared to go back to the hall. Old Lady Qin's voice rang out, and her tone was unprecedentedly serious: "Old Five, tell me honestly, are you unable to return to the army?"
