Chapter 147 Mother, Ange is pregnant with quadruplets
Jiang Hong secretly sighed, rolled her eyes at Zhou Sisi who was not polite, and said helplessly: "Okay then!"
It doesn't matter if the deal didn't go through this time. Next time, let her family's Lao Zhou take action and have a frank talk with Qi Rongcheng.
According to the friendship between the two families and the fact that his father Zhou was on the rise in official career, it was likely that he would be promoted to a city or provincial position in the future. The Qi family would definitely be willing to marry into their family.
After all, a marriage between the two families would benefit both sides. In the future, they could help each other and dominate both the military and political circles.
After seeing Jiang Hong and her daughter off, Qi's mother and Qi Zheng both breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, we sent this great god away!
However, as soon as Jiang Hong walked out of the Qi family yard, she began to scold Zhou Sisi in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you on the way here to be enthusiastic, cheerful and generous..."
Zhou Sisi's ears have not been quiet since yesterday afternoon, and she can see that Qi Zheng and Qi's mother are just pretending to be ignorant and don't like her at all, but her mother still wants to put her warm face on their cold butt!
She is not ashamed!
She still feels ashamed!
After all, she didn't fancy Qi Zheng, so of course she wouldn't flatter him or his mother.
Zhou Sisi secretly sighed, and boldly poured cold water on Jiang Hong, "Mom, aren't you very smart and perceptive? How come you didn't see it? Let alone Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi, even Qi Zheng didn't have that intention..."
"What?!" Jiang Hong was poured a bucket of cold water by Zhou Sisi, and most of her enthusiasm and confidence disappeared, but she was still unwilling to admit it, "Impossible... How could it be possible..."
Although Jiang Hong was unwilling to admit it, her tone was not that firm.
"Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi are both smart people. You have made it clear in your words and deeds, but they always refuse to follow your words and cleverly change the subject..."
After hearing what Zhou Sisi said, Jiang Hongwei quickly reviewed the situation over the past hour and finally found the problem.
He was so angry and ashamed that his face turned purple!
"I'm so angry... It must be that vixen Qin Mingyue's doing..." Jiang Hong turned around and pretended to return to the Qi family, "No, I have to go back and warn your aunt Qi, tell her that Qin Mingyue is a shameless vixen..."
"Mom!" Zhou Sisi quickly grabbed Jiang Hong, "Do you have to embarrass Dad completely before you stop?! Besides, it's not like I can't get married, why do you have to humiliate me like this!"
Jiang Hong had a very strong self-esteem, and when she saw Zhou Yunhai's career flourishing, she became even more arrogant. She took a few deep breaths, and her face, which was distorted by anger, was filled with contempt and ridicule.
Well, the Qi family actually treated her like a monkey and made fun of her!
Then we'll just wait and see. She will definitely find a husband for her daughter whose family background is far superior to that of the Qi family!
Let the Qi family marry Qin Mingyue, that unpresentable peasant, and the whole family will be dragged down.
***
Late at night five days later, Qi Zheng and his two companions arrived in Ximo City.
Soldiers were to be recruited in the spring, and a batch of new soldiers happened to be sent to the Northwest Military Region. That night at the train station, Qin Dongnian accepted the task of picking up the new soldiers, and also picked up his mother and younger sister.
Yun Ange wanted to come along, but now she was a key protected person, and if she set out with the main group, she couldn't drive as fast as a snail, otherwise it would be too obvious that she was using public power for personal gain, which was not good. In the end, Yun Ange had to wait at home.
At this time, it was almost ten o'clock.
The temperature was still very low at night. Qi Zheng, Qin's mother, and Qin Mingyue followed the crowd out of the waiting hall carrying large and small bags. When they looked up, they saw the tall figure of Qin Nian.
Qin Mingyue's nose felt sore, and tears instantly blurred her vision. Her hoarse voice with a strong nasal tone revealed great joy, "Brother...Brother..."
As soon as the three of them stepped out of the station, Qin Wangnian came running towards them, but just as he opened his mouth, his younger sister spoke first.
"Mingyue... Mother..." Qin Wangnian ran over, trying to take the luggage from Qin Mingyue with one hand, and at the same time trying to take the big bag from Qin's mother with the other hand.
Qin Mingyue moved to the side, avoiding Qin Wangnian's hand, and cried with joy, "Brother, these are not heavy, they can be lifted, go and help Brother Qi."
"Yes, yes!" Qin's mother quickly took back the black cloth bag that Qin Wangnian had snatched away, "Wangnian, go help Comrade Xiao Qi, the luggage he has is too heavy."
Qin Dongnian then looked at Qi Zheng and saw that he was carrying a large hemp sack on his left shoulder, two canvas luggage bags in his right hand, and a large cloth bag made of various scraps of cloth tucked under his armpit.
I guess apart from the two canvas bags, the rest of the things were things his mother brought for him.
Qin Nian didn't say anything, he just grabbed the big sack, he realized how heavy it was once he started to handle it, "Mom, why did you bring so many things? Fortunately, Qi Zheng is here, otherwise how could you carry them all!"
Qi Zheng, whose hands were strangled, rolled his eyes at Qin Nian. Before he could complain, he heard Qin's mother say disapprovingly:
"Not much! Not much! I've come all this way, so I want to bring you everything I can."
There really is a kind of "less", that is, your mother feels that you have brought too little!
If there were enough bags at home, Qin's mother could have brought another sack of things.
Judging from the packaging alone, these luggage must be tattered and worthless, but little do they know that these are the Qin family's best things.
Three new quilts and two sets of sheets and pillowcases were stuffed into the sack, in addition to two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers made for Qin Nian and Yun Angge.
The large cloth bag made of scraps contained the clothes that Yun Angge had not brought with him, as well as the clothes that had been hidden in the sweet potato cellar before.
Before leaving home, Yun Angge told Qin's mother to wait until the news died down and then quietly take out all the clothes, tear them apart, and make clothes for Qin Mingyue in bright colors, while letting Qin's mother tear apart the dark blue and dark gray woolen skirts to make coats.
However, after Qin's mother dismantled the clothes, she did not make clothes for her and Qin Mingyue. She made two sets for Yun Angge, and cut the rest into large or small pieces of fabric and brought them over.
In addition to these, I also brought white flour and eggs from home.
Mother Qin knew that Yun Angge was a southerner who loved to eat rice. After receiving the telegram from Qin Dongnian, she went to the county town alone. After inquiring from many sources, she found the black market and bought 20 grams of rice at a high price.
If the journey wasn't too far and the mother and daughter's strength wasn't limited, Qin's mother would have wanted to bring sweet potatoes, cabbages, and radishes from home.
She heard from the educated youth that most of the northwest was desert and the grain production was very low, so she wanted to bring some food rations for her and Qin Mingyue.
After all, life here is too hard, and everything you eat costs money. Thinking about the 20 yuan allowance Qin Wangnian has to send home every month, I guess he and Yun Angge must have saved that money by tightening their belts.
As Yun Angge is pregnant, she needs to eat more good food. Now that she and Qin Mingyue are here again, food must be even more scarce.
But it’s too far away and they can’t bring so much.
Although the mother and son, brother and sister were very excited and happy to reunite, they were all introverted people. After all, this was the character of the Chinese people. After a brief exchange, Qin Nian took his mother and younger sister into the car.
The train that the recruits were riding on arrived at the station half an hour ago. They had all assembled and handed over and were on military trucks.
More than a hundred people did not stay in the guesthouse and rushed back to the military area overnight.
Qin Xiaonian was driving a military jeep, Qi Zheng was sitting in the co-pilot seat, and Qin's mother and Qin Mingyue were sitting in the back seat.
It was a bit cold at night, so Qin Wangnian prepared two military coats. After getting in the car, Qin's mother and Qin Mingyue each wrapped themselves in one, and they felt a lot warmer.
"Mom, little sister, you guys should get some sleep. The journey is a bit far and it will take more than three hours to get there."
"Not sleepy! We are not sleepy!" Mother Qin waved her hands, her face showing undisguised excitement.
It was the first time to ride in a car, and a military vehicle at that. Not only Qin Mingyue, but even Qin's mother was excited and curious.
"Then drink some water, the water temperature is just right." Qin Nannian handed his military kettle to Qin's mother.
"Well, okay..." Mother Qin took the kettle, unscrewed it, drank two big gulps, and then handed it to Qin Mingyue. Suddenly she thought of something and didn't even have time to wipe the water stains on her mouth. She asked hurriedly, "Young man, Ange is doing well, right? Is the reaction big? Can we eat?"
Seeing that the topic turned to Yun Angge, Qin Mingyue, who was about to drink water, suddenly stopped and listened seriously and expectantly with her big hazy eyes.
She was so excited when she got off the train to see her elder brother just now, and then she got back on the train again, getting even more excited, that she even forgot about her sister-in-law.
"She's fine now. She can eat and drink. She's doing fine." After saying that, Qin Dongnian deliberately parked the car on the side of the road, turned around and looked at Qin's mother solemnly, and smiled again: "Mom, I took Ange to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago. The doctor confirmed that she was pregnant with quadruplets..."
