Qin Shoucheng felt very wronged. Not only did he feel pain all over his body, but his elder brother didn't even give him a chance to beg for mercy. It was obviously his elder brother who asked him to come over and explained the good things about Long Yang, but now, his whole body was in pain from being trained, but his elder brother didn't say a word.
Qin Shoucheng didn't suspect that his second brother was lying, nor did he suspect that his elder brother was targeting him on purpose. In his opinion, he thought that his elder brother wanted to test him, but the result was not satisfactory.
Qin Shoucheng sighed and got up from the ground aggrievedly. He didn't dare to resist his elder brother. His impression of this elder brother who left home for five years when he was seven years old had long been faded by these five years. But he also remembered that when he was young, his elder brother often took him to play and would lift him up high. At that time, he was the most proud boy in Baili Village, because he had two brothers and a sister. But now, outside Baili Village, he is the most miserable boy in Yunxiang County.
Qin Fang did not force him too much. After beating him and venting his anger, he stopped beating him. He walked in front of Qin Shoucheng and looked down at him: "Can you still stand up straight?"
Qin Shoucheng said: "Yes." His voice was weak and lacked confidence.
Qin Fang: "I can't hear you, speak louder."
Qin Shoucheng was frightened and hurriedly said loudly: "Yes." After answering, he looked at Qin Fang nervously, for fear that he would say that his voice was not loud enough.
Fortunately, Qin Fang did not force him. He said, "When I left home for the military camp, I was three years older than you. Although I am taller and stronger than you, the meat I ate in those sixteen years was not as much as you have eaten in this month."
Qin Shoucheng felt a pang in his heart for some reason after hearing this. "Brother, I..." He didn't know what he wanted to say, but he just felt very uncomfortable.
Qin Fang didn't look at his expression, and continued, "I am the eldest brother and have the responsibility to make sure you live a good life. But this good life for you was earned by me on the battlefield with my own life. In those five years, many familiar faces in our military camp went to the battlefield and never came back. If they didn't come back, new faces would come in.
I looked at the new faces one by one, and recalled the faces that didn't come back one by one. I couldn't help but wonder, when will I be replaced by those new faces? faces replaced. "
Qin Shoucheng's eyes were red: "Big brother..."
Qin Fang continued: "But I can't. Because I still have grandpa and grandma, father and mother, and younger brothers and sisters at home. So, I don't have time to think about other things. My time is used to train and make myself stronger, because only in this way can I return to Baili Village safely in five years. "
Qin Shoucheng's tears flowed, and his mouth was bitter and he couldn't say a word. He was originally a precocious child, and the grievances in his heart were replaced by another emotion at this moment.
Even Qin Shouye, who was eavesdropping on the side, lowered his head. He knew that it was not easy for his big brother, but he never thought about it deeply. It was also because he saw his big brother's success that made people forget the efforts behind his success, and those efforts were all fought for their lives. The
military camp and the battlefield have always been suffocating places.
Suddenly, Qin Fang reached out and touched Qin Shoucheng's head. His serious voice softened, and he smiled: "But I am very happy that my third brother, who used to wear open-crotch pants and needed me to carry him up the mountain, has grown up."
Qin Shoucheng was stunned, and looked at Qin Fang with tears in his eyes. Why did his elder brother, who was serious just now, smile? As far as he could remember, he seemed to have never seen his elder brother smile like this since his elder brother returned to his hometown in March last year. No, he did smile, but that was when he was with his eldest sister-in-law. Facing them, his elder brother never smiled. In his heart, his elder brother was like a mountain, taller and more awe-inspiring than his grandfather and father. "Brother?"
Qin Fang said, "You did a good job today. You were not impulsive when encountering things, and you knew how to think. You also knew how to ask for advice from your older brother. I am very pleased that my younger brother has grown into a man who can support the family without me noticing."
"Brother..." Qin Shoucheng sobbed. This was the first time he heard his elder brother praise him and compliment him. It made him happier than when his grandfather and father praised him. In fact, he has been under a lot of pressure since he followed him to the border. Deep down, he really wanted to get the recognition of his elder brother. Looking at the intimacy between Si Ya and the eldest sister-in-law, he was also envious, but he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, he finally... Qin Shoucheng cried like a child.
He was originally a child.
Qin Fang did not comfort him. A man should just cry until he is satisfied. He does not need comfort. "Do you know why I asked your second brother to come here today?"
Qin Shoucheng shook his head: "Not... not to explain Longyang Zhihao? That young man..."
Qin Fang slapped him on the back without any courtesy. Qin Shoucheng shrank his body. It hurt him so much. Then he heard Qin Fang open his mouth: "What Longyang Zhihao? If you dare to slander me again, you don't have to eat dinner. Remember, I am your eldest brother. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly. You don't need to go through your second brother." After saying this, he looked at Qin Shouye who was hiding in the dark.
Qin Shouye suddenly tensed up, and then he heard his second brother say, "You too."
Qin Shouye was stunned for a moment, then smiled foolishly, and the five-year gap between the brothers seemed to disappear all of a sudden. The sense of alienation caused by their eldest brother's success also suddenly disappeared. Compared to Qin Shoucheng's vague impression of his eldest brother, Qin Shouye had a deep impression of his eldest brother, after all, he was already ten years old at that time.
Qin Shouye walked out from the corner: "Brother."
Qin Fang said, "Let's go and have dinner, your eldest sister-in-law must be waiting anxiously."
Qin Shouye and Qin Shoucheng: "Yeah."
Qin Fang went to the inner courtyard, and Qin Shouye and Qin Shoucheng also returned to their own courtyards. In the yard, Niu Dan was waiting for them to eat. Seeing Qin Shoucheng being carried back by Qin Shouye, Niu Dan asked in confusion: "Where have you been, third brother? Your clothes are torn."
Qin Shoucheng was speechless and didn't want to speak. His eldest brother's words were still echoing in his mind: I am your eldest brother. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly, without going through your second brother.
Qin Shouye said: "He went to be a thief."
Niu Dan naturally didn't believe this, so he became even more curious. He pestered Qin Shouye and asked: "Second brother, tell me, second brother, second brother..."
Qin Shouye: "You are so nagging."
Yang Haiyan had already asked someone to serve the dishes. The dishes that had just come out of the oven were a little hot, so they were served to cool down so that they could be eaten when Qin Fang came back.
Look, less than half an hour later, Qin Fang came back, sweating all over. The weather was hot and people tended to sweat. The competition made them sweat even faster.
Yang Haiyan saw this and said, "You need to take a shower before eating, or you will feel uncomfortable."
Qin Fang also had the same idea: "You eat first, you don't have to wait for me."
But what's the point of eating alone? Yang Haiyan waited. When Qin Fang came out of the shower, Yang Haiyan asked curiously, "How did you teach Shoucheng?"
Qin Fang knew that his wife loved to listen to gossip. On the surface, she was gentle and virtuous, but at heart, she was a little woman, who loved to listen to gossip and was coquettish. However, he was willing to satisfy her. He drank a sip of the soup she had prepared in advance to fill his stomach, and then told the story again: "Although it is wrong to lie to the teacher and ask for leave, she is actually quite calm and smart. She knows that she is young and can't make up her mind, and she will ask Shouye for advice. She has grown up."
Yang Haiyan looked at his expression, which was different from before, and knew that he was just pretending to be angry for Qin Shouye to see. She smiled and said, "Shoucheng is actually a well-behaved and stable child, but this child's thinking is a bit flexible."
Qin Fang was puzzled: "Flexible?" The two of them had been together for a long time, and he could occasionally hear some strange words from her mouth. In fact, these words are not difficult to understand, but the usage is a little strange, but he has never heard others describe it this way. However, it is not a big deal.
Yang Haiyan said: "Yes, it means that he is very lively. Compared with when he first came last year, his personality has changed a lot." Qin Fang
thought about it and agreed.
Baili Village
Uncle Qin lived in Yunxiang County for a long time. It was already the beginning of July when he returned to Baili Village. Qin Fang was also worried that it was not safe for Uncle Qin to go on the road alone, so he asked him to follow the escort team. Uncle Qin, who followed the escort team, now sat in the escort team's carriage and returned to his hometown.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, he came in a carriage, it must be the master inside."
"Go and have a look, I don't know where the master came from."
The weather in July is hot, and there is no work in the fields. Some people go to the town and the county to find work, and the remaining women have nothing to do, so they chat about things in the village.
Aunt Qin likes to chat very much. Since Qin Fang became rich, she likes to chat even more. Although Aunt Qin is as shy as a bun in front of Qin's mother and grandmother, she is still very hot in front of others. In the past, she was aggressive because of her personality. In addition, the Qin family has three brothers and four grandchildren. With many men in the family, she is confident. Now, she is aggressive because Qin Fang has become successful. No one in Baili Village dares to be arrogant in front of her. On the contrary, many people come to propose marriage to her, wanting to marry their Erya.
Erya is sixteen years old this year. Logically, not to mention a sixteen-year-old girl, even a fifteen-year-old girl should be proposed. But last year, Erya just learned embroidery, and Aunt Qin was reluctant to let her get married. She wanted to keep her until she was eighteen to earn some money for the family. Who knew that because of this, Qin Fang became successful this year, and Erya's status was different. Let alone whether the family is divided or not, even if it is divided, if something happens to Erya, will Qin Fang not step forward? Even if Qin Fang does not let her go, can Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin not step forward?
Therefore, Erya is no longer the same as before.
Aunt Qin Er thinks that all this is due to her. Qin Fang has become successful, and he has subsidized the second house with land, which can be rented out, so Aunt Qin Er no longer withholds Erya's embroidery wages, and lets her save it for her dowry.
Aunt Qin Er thinks that she is the best mother in Baili Village.
It was afternoon now, and everyone was sitting together chatting. Aunt Qin Er was chewing melon seeds and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a carriage? Our Fang has horses and guards."
