All this is not fantasy, but a reasonable speculation based on human nature. Qin Jianye will not seek trouble or suffer hardship for himself.
I slowly followed the old lady into the house and saw Qin Siyue and Chen Yunwei helping Daya and Erya put on their clothes.
The clothesline in the yard was already mostly occupied, and at first glance, it was clear that it contained not only the little girl's blouses but also the clothes of the men and children, as well as two quilted covers.
What else did Qin Jianye not understand? The whole family was bullying these two girls.
I didn't say anything, after all, she wasn't my daughter. And that was the norm in those days.
He hurried forward, snatched the clothes from Chen Yunwei's hand, wrung them, shook them, and hung them on the rope.
She also deliberately scolded Qin Siyue loudly: "What kind of clothes do you have? Can't you wash them yourself? Your mother is weak, what if she gets tired?
Or, wait for dad to come back and wash it for you!"
Qin Siyue suppressed his laughter and praised sweetly: "Dad, you are so nice!"
Qin Jianye felt relieved and happy. "Oh, that's the way it should be! You have tiny arms and legs too, how can you do it?"
Qin Siyue shook his head.
Qin Jianye raised his eyebrows, looking arrogant as if saying, "Your dad is right, right?"
The old lady kicked him directly: "Your wife is so delicate, she can't do anything. Why did my Qin family marry her back home? To fatten her up?"
"Mom, you can't say that. My wife is well-educated, gentle and virtuous. As for our wife, it's all thanks to my father-in-law!"
Qin Jianye wasn't lying. Whether it was his original self in this era or his previous self, his career had always relied on his father-in-law's support.
In his previous life, his start-up capital was given by his father-in-law. He was afraid that he would mistreat his daughter, so he provided him with resources and connections.
Unfortunately, the old man was in poor health and passed away before he could achieve success.
Qin Jianye didn't abandon his wife either. He returned home on time every day and became closer to Chen Yunwei. This made the girls who were about to launch an attack very angry.
However, the original incarnation in this life, having only graduated from high school, was arrogant and refused to bend down and work hard.
The old man disliked him very much, but his daughter was devoted to him and would not marry anyone else.
The old man had no other choice but to use his connections to find him a job. Worried about his daughter being treated badly, he even tried to keep him on the hook by offering him a permanent position.
Facts have proved that this method is good. At least the original body, for the sake of his father-in-law, did not despise his wife who was unable to give birth to another boy because of her injury.
And then there's that delicate daughter who's spoiled by his wife. I don't like her, I don't hate her, I just keep her like this.
I often regret that I don't have a son. In the dead of night, I also reflect on whether I made a mistake in marrying Chen Yunwei.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the modern Qin Jianye. Comrade Qin is a complete slave to his wife and daughter.
Especially now, as a family goes through the 1960s, they can be said to depend on each other for survival.
Sure enough, the old lady whose lifeblood was held suppressed her anger instantly when she heard these words.
She glared at the third child fiercely, then explained to Chen Yunwei with an awkward smile: "Well, mother is just talking nonsense, nonsense."
Who understands? Qian Guihua, who has been domineering for more than 20 years, has never been tough since the third daughter-in-law came into the family. She is depressed but cannot tell anyone.
Chen Yunwei didn't care and said with a smile: "Men are stronger than women. It won't hurt the third child to do these physical tasks."
As he said this, he glanced at Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianjun, and saw that the two grown men were looking up at the sky and down at the earth but not at him. He smiled, went back to the house, got a towel, and wiped his daughter's hands.
Li Qiao and Zhao Dandan were envious of how Qin Laosan protected his wife.
Turning her head to look at her husband, she was stung by their nonchalant expressions. The corners of her mouth that had just curved up drooped instantly.
Well, let's just keep the status quo. The man in her family is like a wooden stake, not showing any reaction at all.
Da Ya and Er Ya thanked Qin Jianye gratefully, but Qin Jianye waved his hand and said, "Why are you thanking me? We are all family. Let's go back to the house and rest!"
What a beast! Her two nieces were older than her daughter, yet they were about the same height as Qin Siyue. And they were so skinny.
Qin Jianye even doubted whether his two nieces had developed at all. Soaking in cold water in such a cold weather, what if they became infertile in the future? What would he do?
Of course, he just thought about it. As an uncle, he certainly couldn't ask such a private question.
Besides, since they weren't his biological children, he didn't bother to care. If the second son, as a father, didn't care, why would he bother?
The old lady curled her lips, thinking that Chen Yunwei didn't feel sorry for the third child, but she did.
She pushed Qin Jianye and said, "San'er, go back to the room and rest. When the meal is ready, mother will call you!"
Qin Jianye nodded and took his wife and daughter back to the house. The moment the door was locked, he let out a long sigh.
He took out a plastic basin from the space, which contained hot water he had boiled at Wei Xu's house.
Wash your hands, wipe your face, and use a towel to wipe off the dust on your clothes. Only when you are done do you put the basin and towel away.
I collapsed on the kang (a kang) which still had no mattress, stretched my limbs, and looked up at the ceiling, sighing, "I'm so tired!"
The voice is weak.
Qin Siyue quickly knelt down in front of Qin Jianye and massaged his arms and legs. Chen Yunwei did the same, sitting aside and rubbing Comrade Qin's knuckles.
The three of them chatted casually, and soon, Qin Jianye fell asleep.
Chen Yun glanced at it, dragged the torn quilt from the corner, and covered Qin Jianye with it. After muttering to her daughter about the old lady for a while, she went out.
What are you doing? Help me. But before I even got close to the kitchen, I was yelled at by the old lady.
From the sound of it, it seemed that Zhao Dandan grabbed a handful of cornmeal into the earthenware jar.
Chen Yunwei paused and pulled Qin Siyue back.
"Oh my god, your grandma is really mean. Forget it, let her do whatever she wants. I won't go and get into trouble."
Qin Siyue nodded, feeling that Ms. Chen Yunwei was indeed of little use.
They looked at each other in the room, and thought to themselves, why don’t I have the golden finger?
***
Time passed and it was evening. Qin Jianye opened his confused eyes and found that the room was dark.
The old cotton quilt on his body gave off an unpleasant smell. He threw it aside in disgust, stretched himself, and then got out of bed in his slippers to look for his wife and daughter.
Chen Yunwei was bored, so she went to chat with Li Qiao and Zhao Dandan. However, due to their huge differences in thinking, they almost got into an argument before they even said a few words.
Qin Siyue quickly tried to smooth things over and asked Da Ya and Er Ya to play games together. While playing, the two girls asked about things in the city.
Chen Yunwei didn't remember anything, so she just talked nonsense based on her imagination and the knowledge from her junior high and high school textbooks.
Qin Siyue added, startling the two girls. They had a yearning for city life, but they also understood that it was not something they should covet.
"If you two want to move to the city, the best way is to study hard and take exams for jobs in the future."
Forget about college, the two girls have a weak foundation. It was too late before 1967, and they were too old in 1977. It can be said that they were born at the wrong time.
But they can go to technical secondary school and be guaranteed a job.
