Speaking of the dog, Yang Haiyan remembered another plot. Why did Han Zhen's father and stepmother go to the border to find him? Although it was necessary for the plot and the hero and heroine needed to experience it, it was actually related to the original owner.
In the plot, the original owner followed Qin Fang back to his hometown. Just like this time, Han Zhen's family came to inquire about Han Zhen's affairs. The original owner was jealous of Yang Dahua, so she made a lot of nonsense about Han Zhen's affairs at the border, mainly talking about how well they were living.
So, Han Zhen's father took his family to the border to find Han Zhen.
And now, Han Zhen's father and stepmother are here again.
But this time, without the original owner, can they still know about Han Zhen's affairs and go to the border? Yang Haiyan didn't know. After all, some plots will come even if they are late, just like the barbarian taking the young master as a hostage.
Yang Haiyan was eating rice with vegetables inside, and curiously listening to the gossip outside. What could be better than listening to gossip secretly by yourself?
Qin Siya came in with silk flowers. She sat opposite Yang Haiyan and stared at her.
Yang Haiyan thought she wanted to eat: "Siya, are you hungry?"
Qin Siya shook her head.
Yang Haiyan: "Then why did you come in?"
Qin Siya said: "I just came in to sit down." Erya and Sanya went to the embroidery workshop to learn embroidery. She was the only girl at home, and she was quite bored sometimes.
Yang Haiyan ate the rice with vegetables in a few mouthfuls, then washed the bowl. Seeing Qin Si Ya still sitting, she said, "Come on, sister-in-law will comb your hair, and then take the silk flowers with you."
Qin Si Ya stood up quickly: "Hey."
But Yang Haiyan looked at her hair, which was a little greasy and dirty, and she said, "Your husband, please boil some water. We need to wash our heads first."
Qin Si Ya: "I'll go and boil water right away."
Outside
Qin Fang felt that Han Zhen's guess was right. As long as he came back, Han Lao Da would definitely come to the house. Look, he came. Qin Fang was originally standing, standing for two quarters of an hour after dinner. He and his wife have developed this habit. Seeing Han Lao Da coming in, he said, "Uncle Han." Han Lao Da was older than Qin's father.
Father Han was not alone, he brought Han Zhen's stepmother Qian with him. The Han family and the Qin family did not live close to each other, it was Qian who heard that Qin Fang had made a living and returned home, then she remembered that Han Zhen and Qin Fang were serving in the army together, so she asked Father Han to come over. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw General Wu and the carriage on one side, and thought to herself, he is indeed a man of great promise. Everyone knows that a carriage is expensive, at least sixty or seventy taels, and these sixty or seventy taels are something they cannot afford in their lifetime.
Qin Fang has made a living, I wonder how Han Zhen is doing.
Mother Qin brought out a stool: "Gouzi's father, please sit down."
Father Han: "No, no, I just came to ask about our Gouzi's situation. Qin Fang, you and Gouzi went to serve in the army together. You have completed your military service and are back, but why hasn't Gouzi come back?"
Qin Fang: "I don't know either. We don't live together." As for other things, Qin Fang is not a talkative person, so he naturally won't say anything.
Father Han is also a dull person. Qian is the boss of the family. When he heard Qin Fang say this, he didn't know what to say.
Qian signaled Father Han to continue asking with her eyes, but Father Han looked at her and didn't know what to ask.
Seeing that Old Man Han didn't respond, Qian spoke directly: "Qin Fang, what's the situation of our dog now? Has he done anything meritorious?"
Qin Fang: "No." When he said no, he didn't feel guilty at all, and was no different from usual. If Yang Haiyan didn't know the truth, she would really believe him.
Qian didn't doubt Qin Fang's words, after all, she didn't expect Han Zhen to be so successful. She asked again: "Did our dog ask you to bring anything back? For example, silver..."
Qin Fang: "No."
Seeing that there was nothing, Qian didn't say anything: "Then we're leaving." As she said that, she glared at Old Man Han, "Are you not leaving yet?"
Old Man Han apologized to the Qin family and hurried to catch up.
Aunt Qin snorted, "What kind of person is this? I think Han Gouzi will not come back. After his military service, he can find a living anywhere. Why would he come back to work like a slave for his stepmother Qian Xiaocui?" Mother
Qin said, "Han Gouzi is not happy, and maybe Qian Xiaocui is not happy that someone is going to share the family property with her son."
When Yang Haiyan heard that Father Han had left, she brought out a basin of warm water, followed by Qin Si Ya.
Mother Qin saw this and said, "What's the matter?"
Qin Si Ya hurriedly said, "My sister-in-law said she would comb my hair and put on silk flowers, but...but I need to wash my hair." The little girl also knew that her hair was dirty, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Mother Qin said, "Look how happy you are. Your hair is like straw, but you finally want to wash it."
Qin Si Ya: "Your hair is straw." She was so angry.
Everyone was sitting in the yard. When Yang Haiyan was washing Qin Si Ya's hair, she went to the house to get a small wooden box and took out a small piece of shampoo from the box. When the shampoo touched Qin Si Ya's hair, she smelled a fragrant smell. "Sister-in-law, what is this? It smells so good."
Yang Haiyan: "This is shampoo. After washing, your hair will be smooth and fragrant."
Qin Si Ya: "Does that mean it won't turn into straw?"
Yang Haiyan chuckled. It seems that this little girl still cares about her mother-in-law's evaluation of her hair.
After changing three basins of water, Qin Si Ya's hair was finally washed. After washing, Yang Haiyan asked her to let her hair dry, and then combed her hair. So Qin Si Ya sat in the sun without moving.
Because Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan came back, the Qin family did not go to the fields in the morning. After having lunch and resting for a while, they went to the fields, and took Qin Fang with them.
Qin's mother did not go. The new daughter-in-law had just come back, so the mother-in-law accompanied her so that she would not be unfamiliar with the place. However, Qin's mother thought of something. She called Grandma Qin into the house: "Mother, regarding Afang's matter, Afang originally planned to tell you and father in private, but you know, I can't keep secrets, so I'll tell you the bottom line first."
Grandma Qin looked at her mysterious look, and she thought something had happened: "What's the matter?"
Mother Qin: "Afang came back this time, not only because his military service was completed, but also for another reason, Afang became an official." Grandma Qin
was a little confused: "What?" Did she hear it wrong?
Mother Qin saw that she was also like this when she heard about this: "Afang became an official, as important as the county magistrate in our county."
Grandma Qin opened her mouth wide, and then slowly closed it: "Let me slow down for a while."
Mother Qin was not in a hurry, so she let her take her time. However, the mother-in-law took a long time to slow down, not as fast as she did.
Grandma Qin did slow down for a long time. She really didn't expect that in her lifetime, her grandson could still be an official, and she could still be an official's old lady: "May our ancestors bless you... May our ancestors really bless you... We have to tell the old man about this. He would be so happy if he knew about it. Now only you and I know about it?" She felt a little proud knowing that she knew about it before the old man.
Mother Qin: "Yes, only we know about it. Even the child's father doesn't know."
Grandma Qin thought for a while: "Then why did you tell me suddenly? Without waiting for Ah Fang to tell you himself?"
Actually, Qin Fang originally planned to tell him at lunch, but when Yang Haiyan cried, the atmosphere at the table became a little heavy, so he forgot to say it.
Mother Qin said, "It's like this. We have to choose a date to hold a wedding for Afang and Yanyan. Should we also tell others about Afang's official position at that time? Or should we keep it a secret from others?"
The Qin family doesn't have ancestral halls or relatives, and the people in Baili Village don't have the same ancestors. In fact, ordinary people don't have ancestral halls. So when Qin Fang becomes an official, he doesn't have to worship his ancestors. "We have to discuss this with your father." In Grandma Qin's opinion, this is a good thing, and of course it should be told. But once it is said, something like taking advantage of the situation might happen, so Grandma Qin is a little hesitant. But if it is not said, can it be kept secret for a lifetime?
Besides, there must be a few relatives in this family who must be told, right? Afang's maternal family must be told, right? Isn't it the same as telling everyone?
Qin's mother asked again: "What about the other things? Mother, don't blame me as a daughter-in-law for asking too many questions. Fang is an official and has a salary. We can't ask him to hand over half of his salary, right?"
Qin's grandmother understood immediately that her daughter-in-law was not mainly concerned about the first thing, but the second thing. As a mother, she had no reason to blame her son for thinking too much.
Grandma Qin: "I will discuss this with your father."
Mother-in-law said so, and Mother Qin did not say this, but there was one more thing: "What about the matter of the third son wanting to inherit Shoucheng? The third son has mentioned this matter more than once. Previously, because Fang's military service had not yet been completed, it had been delayed. Now that Fang is back, the third son might bring it up again. Mother, I will tell you the truth, I will not agree to let Shoucheng pass on his inheritance. As a mother, I will not agree to let Shoucheng pass on his inheritance. If I still can't protect my son, I might as well kill myself. "Mother Qin had the confidence to say this. Now that her eldest son is back and the eldest daughter-in-law is on her side, who can force her to adopt her son? "Besides, Afang is an official now. If the news of his adoptive brother gets out, it won't be good."
Mother Qin's words made Grandma Qin feel uncomfortable. It was not because of the matter of keeping the status quo that made her uncomfortable, but because of Mother Qin's tone. She felt that Mother Qin was forcing her. Although she could understand Mother Qin's mood, it did not mean that she would like this attitude.
But she also knew that the eldest house was different now. The Qin family would always rely on the eldest house in the future, and they could not disappoint the eldest house. Grandma Qin sighed: "Don't worry, your father and I didn't have this idea originally." They really didn't have this idea.
Mother Qin: "I'm a straightforward person, please don't take my words to heart."
Grandma Qin: "We're all family, what's there to take to heart? By the way, we have to go out and ask the nuns in the nunnery to choose a good day for Afang and Yanyan to hold a wedding banquet." Mother Qin:
"Then shall we go later?"
Grandma Qin: "There's enough time to go back and forth now, let's go now."
There is a nunnery in Baili Village, but it takes half an hour to walk there. This nunnery is a bit shabby, and there is only one old nun in it. If something happens in the villages around here, everyone will ask the old nun for help. Not to mention, sometimes the old nun's calculations are quite accurate. When
Yang Haiyan heard that Grandma Qin and Mother Qin were going to the nunnery, she wanted to go for a walk, but when she heard that it would take half an hour, she gave up the idea. Half an hour is equal to an hour. She was so tired from rushing these days that she couldn't walk that much. So, Yang Haiyan and Qin Si Ya stayed at home while they went.
There was actually no difference between this Baili Village and the border. When she was at the border, she was bored and killed time by embroidering handkerchiefs, and sometimes she secretly ate some fruits in the room. The servants and the masters were clearly divided into different classes, and no one dared to enter her room without her consent, so it was very safe. Of course, she only ate small fruits such as cherries, cherries, grapes, and cherry tomatoes. The grape skins and cherry pits that she spit out were all put in her bag, which was easy to deal with.
But here, she couldn't eat fruits, and she didn't need to embroider handkerchiefs. For these few days, she didn't even bring anything.
Yang Haiyan was a little tired, but she thought that if she went to bed now, she would not be able to sleep at night, so she did not go. She looked at Qin Siya who was drying her hair in the sun: "Siya, do you have anything interesting here?" Qin
Siya: "What is the interesting thing?"
Yang Haiyan: "..." If she asked about gossip, she might lead this nine-year-old girl astray. "Si Ya, what does sister-in-law mean? What do you like to do on weekdays?"
Qin Si Ya thought for a while: "I usually help my mother wash clothes, and cut pig grass, look for insects, and dig wild vegetables with my third brother Niu Dan."
Yang Haiyan: "...Isn't Shoucheng studying? He doesn't study anymore?"
Qin Si Ya shook her head: "No." After thinking for a while, she said, "Sister-in-law, I'll tell you secretly, but you can't tell others."
Qin Haiyan hurriedly said: "I won't tell others." For some reason, Qin Si Ya's words about secretly made her feel a little excited. Since she traveled through time, she has not shared secrets with her sisters. You know, in the past, sisters could secretly tell little secrets across the Internet, and that kind of happiness no longer exists.
Qin Si Ya: "Actually, my third brother is a good student, but the tuition is very expensive. The old scholar even secretly told my third brother to send him to a better private school. My third brother said that the family has no money and he only needs to know a few words. Later... later this year, my second brother stopped studying, and my second aunt said that Niu Dan should also go to school. Without grandchildren, Niu Dan can't read. In the end, because of these, my third brother didn't go. I... I also saw my third brother crying secretly."
Yang Haiyan heard this and felt a little sad: "Then your mother doesn't know?"
Qin Si Ya shook her head: "I don't know, I promised my third brother not to tell. My third brother said that my family doesn't know. There was no money, so the eldest brother brought some money home. It was already very difficult for the second and third brothers to go to school and learn to read. It was very dangerous for the eldest brother to join the army, and we couldn’t let the money earned by the eldest brother’s life support his studies
. The third brother also said that the year when the eldest brother left, my mother cried secretly every day, and her eyes were almost broken from crying. The third brother also said that if he continued to study, the eldest brother might have to continue to join the army to earn money for his studies. He would rather have the eldest brother come back and reunite the family than have the eldest brother stay outside. "
Yang Haiyan felt a little sad when she heard this. She didn't expect Shoucheng, a child of only twelve years old, to be so sensible. She naturally believed what Si Ya said. Si Ya looked like a simple little girl without any scheming. In fact, the Qin family has good family education. Qin Fang has a strong sense of responsibility, but he has a bottom line in doing things. Although she has never met Qin Shouye and will not comment on him for the time being, she has a good impression of the carefree Niu Dan, the mature Shou Cheng, and the current Si Ya.
The remaining ones are Da Ya, Er Ya and San Ya. I don't know how these three girls are doing. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan asked again: "Si Ya, I received a letter from your second brother last time. Did your eldest sister get married?"
Qin Si Ya: "Yes, my eldest sister got married before the New Year. My second brother has gone to my eldest sister's house this morning and told my eldest brother and sister-in-law that you are back. My eldest sister said that she will bring her brother-in-law back tomorrow... Sister-in-law, my hair is dry, it feels so smooth when I touch it."
This girl, I remember her hair.
Yang Haiyan waved: "Come here, squat here, I will comb your hair."
Qin Si Ya: "Hey."
Yang Haiyan picked out Qin Si Ya's bangs and cut them into air bangs. Speaking of air bangs, modern girls usually cut them. Then she parted her hair in the middle and braided it on both sides, from the top of her head to her ears. Finally, she tied the two braids to the back and put a silk flower in the middle.
This hairstyle is very suitable for a girl like Qin Si Ya, and in fact, it can be worn by girls who have not yet married.
After combing her hair, Yang Haiyan said, "Okay, go look in the mirror and see if it looks good."
Qin Si Ya: "There is no mirror at home, I will go get a basin of water to look at it." In ancient times, people used copper mirrors, but they were not as clear as modern glass mirrors. But even if it was a copper mirror, the Qin family would not buy it. Country women lie on the ground every day, why would they look in a copper mirror? In fact, they were reluctant to buy it.
The reflection in the water still gave her a rough idea. Qin Si Ya happily touched her bangs, her braid, and the silk flowers behind her that were hidden from view. She felt that she was as beautiful as her sister-in-law, and also as beautiful as the little girls in the town.
She walked happily to Yang Haiyan and said, "Sister-in-law, you are amazing. Your hair is so beautiful."
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "Can sister-in-law comb your hair every day?"
Qin Si Ya's eyes lit up and said, "Yes?"
Yang Haiyan said, "Of course." It was impossible to comb her hair every day. It was possible when she was at the Qin family, just to kill time. When she arrived at the border, she asked Nanny Lian to comb her hair and comb it into different styles, which made the little girl very happy.
Qin Si Ya almost jumped up with joy: "Great."
Seeing the little girl laughing, Yang Haiyan felt that she would be infected: "Si Ya, do you like to study?"
Qin Si Ya: "How can a girl study? Even boys can't study."
Yang Haiyan: "But my sister-in-law has studied and knows how to read. If you want to study, my sister-in-law can teach you."
Qin Si Ya thought for a while: "I don't like to study."
Yang Haiyan thought carefully, she didn't like to study when she was a child. Every day when she went to school, she had to be called by her grandmother several times. To put it bluntly, students hate going to school, and people in society hate going to work. I still remember that during college, there were holiday internships, because holiday internships were related to credits, so there was no way to cheat. Of course, if there is a connection, it doesn't matter if you don't go to the internship and the unit stamps the official seal.
However, Yang Haiyan was an orphan, so she naturally did not have such a relationship when she first entered college. So during the summer vacation of her freshman year, Yang Haiyan went to an apparel factory for an internship. The apparel factory had three shifts: morning, noon and night. She didn't want to go every day, but when it was time to get up every day, she still gritted her teeth and went.
So people who have been to school know the hardship of going to school. People who have worked know the hardship of working.
Yang Haiyan asked another question: "Then if your sister-in-law rewards you with a penny for every ten words you know, and a piece of cake for every two words you know, are you willing to learn?"
Isn't this nonsense? Qin Siya's eyes widened, wanting to see if what her sister-in-law said was a lie: "Really?"
Yang Haiyan suppressed her laughter: "Really." Sure enough, children in ancient times were much easier to deceive than modern children. For children in ancient times, there was nothing that cakes and copper coins could not solve.
Qin Siya asked hurriedly: "Then sister-in-law, when do we start?"
Yang Haiyan: "No hurry, wait until sister-in-law and your brother return to the border, and take you with us. When we get to the border, we will start."
Qin Siya didn't feel reluctant to leave her hometown at all, and was a little anxious: "Then can we leave earlier?" Being reluctant to leave is not something that Qin Siya would do.
Yang Haiyan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
Qin Si Ya heard her laughter and felt a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, you are lying to me, right? My mother will definitely not let me go."
Yang Haiyan: "Yes, sister-in-law will convince mother, but you have to be obedient after you go. If you are obedient, sister-in-law can also reward you with a silk flower every month."
Qin Si Ya: "I will definitely be obedient. I will wash clothes for sister-in-law, cut pig grass, feed chickens, and I will do all kinds of work." For the copper plates, for the cakes, for the silk flowers, Qin Si Ya will work hard.
An hour later, Qin's mother and grandmother Qin came back, and both of them looked a little unhappy.
Seeing this, Yang Haiyan couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Grandma, Mother, what happened to you?"
Grandma Qin was so angry that she didn't want to talk, so Mother Qin spoke first: "It was the nun in the temple who really pissed me off. Your grandma and I wanted to ask the nun to calculate an auspicious day for your wedding, and the nun calculated that it would be an auspicious day five days later. Later, your grandma and I thought that you were at the border and A Fang was doing such a job, and you might be in danger sometimes, so we wanted to get a peace amulet for you. The amulet requires your birth dates, but the nun took your birth dates and said unlucky things. I was really pissed off."
Yang Haiyan was a successor to socialism, so she naturally didn't believe in fortune-telling. However, fortune-telling was very mysterious and sometimes very accurate. She was really curious about what the nun had figured out: "Mother, what did the nun say?"
