149, Chapter 149 (1/2)

Qin Fang came down from the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple on time. He patrolled every day and came down the mountain when it was time for dinner. When I got off the mountain today, I saw Huang Huzi at the foot of the mountain. Qin Fang paused, and then asked with some joy: "But you brought my family back?" Huang Huzi has been to Baili Village for a month, and he is finally back. Qin Fang was worried about his family's situation, thinking how nice it would be if his grandparents and parents came.

Huang Huzi first saluted Qin Fang: "See the general. The old man and the old lady have all been brought back, and they have now settled in the general's mansion."

Hearing this, Qin Fang felt a little anxious when he went home: "How is the situation at home? But everyone is here?"

Huang Huzi said: "No, after my subordinates arrived at Baili Village..." He told everything that happened in the Qin family during this period, mainly about the divorce letter.

Qin Fang didn't expect this to happen. He is no longer a sixteen-year-old boy who left home to join the army six years ago. After being tempered in the military camp and experiencing the important events of getting married and becoming an official, he is already mature enough at the age of twenty-two. Besides, he was originally a smart person, so he thought that his grandfather asked his second uncle and his third uncle to write a letter of divorce, which was so embarrassing and courageous.

Qin Fang sighed: "I made grandpa bear all this emotion and pressure." He personally forced his two sons to write a divorce letter. For grandpa, why was it not difficult? However, grandpa still did it for himself. Qin Fang felt a little sour. He was touched by his grandfather's devotion to him, but also felt guilty about his grandfather's devotion to him.

Huang Huzi didn't know what to say after hearing this. He just said: "General, I am proud of my father."

Qin Fang smiled.

When Qin Fang returned to the general's mansion, he had had enough rest. The Qin family had already gathered in the hall, waiting for Qin Fang to come back and start dinner.

Qin Siya came back from the embroidery workshop. After knowing that everyone in her hometown was back, she was very happy. She has been alone here all this time, and she is extremely lonely. When she saw her father and mother, she acted coquettishly for a while, then took Qin Sanya and started chatting.

Qin Shoucheng, who was precocious and reserved, couldn't help but feel a little childish when he saw his family. He was also happy to learn that his second brother had settled in his own yard.

Qin Siya seemed to have thought of something and said to Yang Haiyan: "Sister-in-law, our embroidery workshop is about to start embroidery. If the good embroiderer is selected, there will be rewards after completing the embroidery. Then you can ask the third sister to follow me. Go together?"

As soon as Qin Siya said these words, Uncle Qin and the others looked at Yang Haiyan.

Qin Sanya said nervously: "I...I can't do it, I can only embroider handkerchiefs and flowers."

Yang Haiyan said: "Ya, as for this matter, if I don't know, I'll say yes, and your third sister can go with you."

Qin Siya said: "I know, I have to ask the master of the embroidery workshop, right?"

Yang Haiyan: "Yes, you have to ask the master of the embroidery workshop. But in addition to asking the master of the embroidery workshop, you also have to ask your third sister for her opinion. No matter what we do, we will You cannot make decisions for others without authorization. You must ask the opinions of the parties involved. Their opinions are the most important. ”

Qin Siya said: "I understand, thank you, sister-in-law." Then she looked at Qin Sanya, "Third sister, we can learn different things in our embroidery workshop, and there are many girls to be friends with. Do you want to go?"

Qin Sanya has no friends. When she was in Baili Village, because the cousins ​​were close in age, she would play with them and do housework together. Later, when they went to learn embroidery, they went with Qin Erya. The two sisters knew that their family was in trouble and it was not easy to spend the money to teach them embroidery, so they studied hard and seriously. At that time, the embroidery workshops were all occupied by girls from rich families. Girls from poor families like them had no chance to learn embroidery skills, so girls from rich families in the embroidery workshops would not sit with them. friend. ‌She and Qin Erya also worked hard to learn embroidery.

At this time, when she heard Qin Ya said that she could be friends with other people's girls in Xiufang, she was moved and yearned for it. Qin Sanya didn't agree immediately, she looked at her father.

After Qin Sanshu nodded, Qin Sanya said: "Okay, thank you‌ya."

"The general is back."

There was a sound outside.

When everyone heard that Qin Fang was back, they all looked towards the door. Even Grandma Qin stood up from her seat in excitement and walked towards the door. He was still shouting: "Is it Ah Fang who is back? Ah Fang..."

Upon seeing this, Yang Haiyan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, fearing that she would be overly excited. The old lady has not seen her grandson for more than a year. She really misses her grandson, but she does not miss her grandson as much as she did in the past five years. The miss she feels now is more exciting, and she is excited about her grandson. Make a fortune.

Before Qin Fang entered the hall, he heard Grandma Qin's voice. His eager pace changed to running in. After running a few steps, he saw the figure of Grandma Qin. He was worried about knocking down the old lady, so he slowed down. When the old lady was in front of him, he hugged her again and said, "Grandma."

Grandma Qin responded with a sigh, then grabbed Qin Fang's sleeve with her old hands and said, "Finally, the family is reunited. After so many years, the family is finally reunited." As she spoke, she began to cry. Although Qin Fang took Yang Haiyan back to his hometown in March last year, they only stayed there for a short period of twenty days. In the eyes of the old lady, this was not a family reunion. Living together like now is a family reunion.

Qin Fang is a grown man. Even if his wife cries, he doesn't know what to do, let alone his grandmother. He can only say awkwardly, "It's the grandson who is unfilial and makes you worry. He looked at the people behind Grandma Qin, from Grandpa Qin, Qin's father, Qin's mother to others, all of them looked at him expectantly and excitedly. Qin Fang's eyes were also a little red. "Seeing them now and letting them live well is probably the greatest satisfaction for him.

Finally, Qin Fang's sight stopped on Yang Haiyan, with all the meaning of asking for help.

Yang Haiyan held the old lady and said, "Grandma is so happy that she is crying. She is happy to see her grandson. But grandma, we young people will be jealous when we see this."

Mother Qin hurriedly said, "That's right, mother, please come and sit here."

Grandma Qin let them help her over.

Qin Fang walked to Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa."

Grandpa Qin looked at him. This little baby who was only as tall as his knees when he was born, now needs him to look up. However, the look in Grandpa Qin's eyes when he looked at Qin Fang was also full of pride.

"Grandpa, I..." Qin Fang had a lot of things to say, especially about the broken family letter.

However, Grandpa Qin patted his shoulder and interrupted what he wanted to say. Huang Huzi is his grandson's son, and he will definitely report the things in his hometown to his grandson, so Grandpa Qin did not intend to hide it from his grandson. However, some things don't need to be said. Besides, he knew that his grandson was not a heartless person. Just use the second and third sons to be obedient in exchange for a little protection from their grandsons.

The Qin family didn't know about the eye contact between Grandpa Qin and Qin Fang, and everyone sat down around the dining table. After Grandpa Qin and Qin Fang also walked over and took their seats, the dishes were served.

There were many people in the Qin family, and one table was not enough for everyone, so the elders and Qin Fang and his wife sat together, and the younger generation sat at another table. The younger generation was headed by Qin Shouye, and there were five other people, Qin Shoucheng, Qin Siya, Niu Dan, and San Ya. The elders' table had Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Father Qin, Mother Qin, Second Uncle Qin, Third Uncle Qin, Third Aunt Qin, Qin Fang, and Yang Haiyan, a total of nine people.

The two tables were half the number of people.

Qin Fang personally poured tea for all the elders at the table, not leaving out Yang Haiyan. After pouring the tea, he said, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, second uncle, third uncle, third aunt, Yanyan, I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

Uncle Qin: "Fang, you don't have to be so polite."

Grandpa Qin said, "I haven't seen you for so long. Everyone in the family is worried about you. It's only right to offer a cup of tea to all the elders. Your wife followed you all the way here to settle you in the inner house. You really have to offer her a cup of tea. Let's drink this cup of tea."

After Grandpa Qin spoke, of course, everyone stopped talking and drank tea.

After drinking tea, Qin Fang sat down and picked up dishes for Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin: "Let's eat." This is the general's mansion. Although Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin are the oldest elders, Qin Fang is the host of this place.

Speaking of this meal, it opened the eyes of the Qin family. When they first arrived, they drank porridge and ate some side dishes, so they didn't have an idea about the situation in the general's mansion. But now, when the dishes came up one by one, they were all stunned. This is not a meal, this is simply a wedding. Oh, even in their rural weddings, they didn't eat such good food. Because the dishes were so good, everyone was scared and didn't dare to eat.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also looked at the dishes, but they were the elders and they could still keep their faces. Grandpa Qin said, "Eat, what are you sitting for?" As he said, he picked up the dishes that Qin Fang picked for him and started eating.

Grandma Qin said, "Yes, yes, eat quickly."

After everyone started eating, they thought that not only were there many dishes today, but the dishes also tasted good. Among the women sitting there, there were also good cooks, but they couldn't make such delicious dishes. Sure enough, the chefs in the general's mansion were also amazing.

Actually, it was not the case. These dishes were cooked by Kun Zhang. It was not because Kun Zhang’s cooking skills were good, but because there were enough seasonings. The Qin family usually didn’t want to put seasonings when cooking, so the taste was different.

Kun Zhang was not a cook, and her cooking skills were not as high as everyone thought.

The table was quiet, even the children were busy eating and didn’t talk. Although everyone didn’t eat voraciously, they ate much faster than usual. Especially men like Uncle Qin Er and Uncle Qin San, who had a big appetite. Today, there were many dishes, so they ate as much as they could. Aunt Qin San ate a little slower, perhaps because she was embarrassed.

Farmers like to chat when they eat, but no one chatted today.

After dinner, Yang Haiyan took everyone to the next door to rest. They could eat some snacks or drink tea. Someone would naturally come to clean up the table here.

Yang Haiyan took out some papers and said, "Grandpa, grandma, elders, I have already chosen the names you mentioned this afternoon. I will read them to you. If you think they are not good, we can choose new ones."

Grandma Qin said, "Okay, okay, Yanyan, please tell us the names quickly."

Qin Fang: "What's your name?"

Yang Haiyan said: "It's a new name given to the younger brothers and sisters in the family. Now that you are a general, the younger brothers and sisters should also have great names. It's always inappropriate to call them big Ya and Er Ya. However, I will give the names of the younger sisters. Take it, the name of the cow egg must be chosen by you, the eldest brother."

Qin Fang didn't know there was such a thing, but he didn't think anything of it: "Okay, let me give the cow egg a name first."

Niudan doesn't despise his own name. What's the point of keeping his career and success? It's not as smooth as his own name, Niu Dan. However, he is still half a boy and knows that his eldest brother is promising. If he is a younger brother, calling him Niu Dan will embarrass him. So now the eldest brother wants to name him. He happily made a suggestion: "Brother, you give him a name." Can you please use fewer strokes in your name? Otherwise I won’t be able to write it.”

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Seeing everyone, Niu Dan also looked silly: "Really, writing is really troublesome."

Qin Fang said: "Okay. Let your name follow Shouye and Shoucheng. Shouye, Shoucheng... just call it Shouxin. The word "heart" has fewer strokes and is easy to write. Shouxin" means to stick to your heart and hope. You can always keep your innocent heart like you are now.”

Niu Dan knew the character Xin and could write it. When he heard the name was Shouxin, he was satisfied: "Great, Shouxin, Qin Shouxin, this character is easy to write."

Qin Fang said again: "Grandpa, second uncle, do you think the name Shouxin is good?"

Yang Haiyan looked at the name he could pick out casually, it was really... without thinking.

Grandpa Qin said: "Very good." Guard your heart, and guard your own heart.

Of course, Qin Fang didn't mean this. He just saw that his cousin had a cheerful personality and hoped that he would always be as happy as he is now.

Second Uncle Qin said: "Okay, very good." What could he mean? His father said yes, that’s good.

Qin Si Ya: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother has named Niu Dan. What names did you give your sisters?" For Qin Si Ya, she wanted to know the girls' names more than her brothers' names.

Indeed, there were many girls, and everyone was curious about Yang Haiyan's names for the girls.

Qin Fang was also curious and looked at his wife: "What names did you give your sisters?"

Yang Haiyan said: "I named Daya Yiya. Yi is the sound of one, two, three, and one in the middle. I use Yi from Yiren. Daya is the first sister of our Qin family. , it is more appropriate to use the word Yi. Originally, according to the name of ‌ Ya, I wanted to call it Daya, but I couldn't find a good-sounding word for the word "big", so I used Yi instead and called it Yiya. What do you think? "She looked at Qin Fang.

Qin Fang has no objection to the names of the girls, not to mention Yi Ya, even Da Ya. In his mind, it doesn't matter what name he chooses, his sister is still his sister anyway. So after hearing what his wife said, he said, "It's pretty good."

Qin's mother asked: "Yanyan, Yi is the Yi of Yi, which means the first female baby. Which bud is that? What does it mean?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Shou Cheng, please explain to my mother, which bud is bud and what does ‌ mean?"

Qin Shoucheng stood up: "Yes, sister-in-law. Mom, bud is a bud that sprouts. Sister-in-law said, ‌ is a homophone for 丫‌, and ‌ also has another meaning. Bud means future and hope‌, Whether it is fruits, crops, or anything else, they all start from a seed, then sprout, and then grow vigorously. My sister-in-law uses this sprout to hope that our Qin family girls can also have a bright future. No matter what. Whether it is fruits or crops, when they sprout, they all grow up under the care of the people. We, the girls of the Qin family, are like germinated seeds, growing up in the love of our elders in the Qin family. ”

When Qin's mother heard this, she said, "Oh, this is a serious name. It just has a different meaning. It sounds much better than what A Fang chose."

Qin Fang: "..." This is not his biological mother. Even if you want to praise his wife, you can't step on him.

After hearing this, Yang Haiyan glanced at Qin Fang proudly.

Qin Fang looked back at her innocently, feeling a little aggrieved.

Yang Haiyan continued: "Second uncle, the nickname I gave Erya is Erya. Er is pronounced Erya. The characters are very simple and the writing is very beautiful. Look." She wrote Erya. Show the name on the paper to Second Uncle Qin.

Second Uncle Qin didn't know how to read, so he took it carefully...if he couldn't understand it, he asked Qin Shouxin, "Niudan, look at your sister's name."

Qin Shouxin looked at it: "Wow, sister's name is easy to write."

When he heard that it was easy to write, Uncle Qin felt relieved: "Dear wife, thank you very much."

Yang Haiyan said: "Second uncle, you're welcome." Then came Qin Sanya's name, "Third uncle, third aunt, Sanya's name is a bit complicated. Let me explain it to you. It is more suitable to choose it according to the common sound." ‌There are buds of kindness, and the three thoughts of kindness are almost the same. ‌ is the goodness of kindness, but the buds of kindness are like ‌ quickly, and ‌ is like a cliff, which is not easy to pronounce. So I thought about it, kindness is inherently a good character. , such as replacing goodness with beauty, and taking Sanya as a beautiful bud.

But now, I have thought of a very suitable one. According to the ranking of the girls, Sanya ranks third at home. But for the third word, you can also arrange it in another way. For example, some people will use spring, summer, autumn and winter. In this case, autumn is the third word, so I thought of the name Qiu Ya. In Meiya's words, others will not arrive first. But when talking about names with the sisters, if Sanya is called Qiu Ya, everyone will definitely know that she is the third in the family.

Third uncle and third aunt, now there are three names, Shanya, Meiya and Qiuya, which one do you think is better? "

Third Uncle Qin and Third Aunt Qin looked at Qin Sanya, and Third Uncle Qin said, "Sanya, which name do you want?" This is the name of his daughter, and the most important thing is that her daughter likes it.

Qin Sanya has a quiet personality. Because she has no younger brothers in her family, she feels somewhat inferior among the sisters. Now her father asked her, and she said softly: "It all sounds good."

Uncle Qin said: "Then you choose one, you can't call it by three names, right?"

Qin Sanya thought for a while: "I want to call her Qiu Ya."

Third Uncle Qin: "Then let's call her Qiu Ya. Wife A Fang, our San Ya will be called Qiu Ya. Thank you so much for your hard work. You even thought of three names for her."

Yang Haiyan said: "What are you saying? Third uncle is being polite. We are all our own people. Qiu Ya, why do you want to call me Qiu Ya?"

Qin Qiuya heard her sister-in-law ask her, and she explained in a low voice: "I... I want to have the same name as the sisters. I will know my Qin family's third daughter when I hear it. My sister-in-law just said that the name Qiuya has the same name as the sisters. If you say the names together, you can tell that I am the third in the Qin family. "

Yang Haiyan said: "Qiu Ya really cares for her sisters and is a good girl." A quiet girl with low self-esteem wants to be like her sisters and be recognized by everyone, so she wants a girl who is just like everyone else. name.

Qin Qiuya blushed when she heard her sister-in-law's compliment.

The name has been decided, but what everyone is most worried about is not the name, but the subsequent arrangements. Everyone took a break in the afternoon, so they are in good spirits now. Grandpa Qin looked at everyone and knew what they were worried about, so he stopped dragging his feet and asked directly: "A Fang, now that everyone in the family is here, except for the second bedroom, are you going to arrange it for everyone?"

Qin Fang said: "There are a thousand acres of land in the military camp. Now there is only one steward there with a hundred soldiers, which is equivalent to each soldier being responsible for ten acres. Therefore, the land in the military camp must be a steward who is familiar with crops. ‌Managers, as for the ⬔‌ work in the land, there is no need for managers to do it, the soldiers will do it. This is food for the soldiers, and they work very actively.

The thousand acres of fields are not connected together, so the stewards are separated. I calculated that one steward would be hired for every 100 acres of fields, so there would be ten stewards in total. "Now these fields are taken care of by Niu Er and his soldiers. Niu Er is so busy that he has lost a lot of weight. There is no other way. He has to run back and forth among the thousands of acres of fields.

When Grandpa Qin heard that ten stewards were required, he couldn't help but said: "There are only three of us here, me, your father, and your third uncle."

Grandpa Qin hurriedly said: "Grandpa, please stop working. You can live in the mansion." He didn't want to let his grandfather take care of it. If he could, he wouldn't let him go. Yes, but Qin Fang also knows that his parents have been busy in the fields all their lives, and they are definitely not used to living in the mansion and not doing anything every day. Therefore, Dad made arrangements for it, but Grandpa was old after all, so he was worried.

Grandpa Qin said: "I'm in good health, it's okay."

Yang Haiyan said: "Grandpa, you and grandma don't take care of the military camp fields, but you have to take care of the vegetable garden of our general's residence."

Grandpa Qin was stunned and looked at Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan said: "Our General's Mansion is too big. I have renovated some areas that are no longer needed. There is an orchard on one side and a vegetable garden on the other. You have to take care of this vegetable garden so that my husband can eat what you grow. ‌The food is ready, I guess my husband can eat one more bowl per ton of rice.”

Qin Fang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, grandpa, you still have to take care of the vegetable garden at home."

Yang Haiyan said: "If you want to see the military camp land, you can go there at any time."

Qin Fang also followed: "Yes, there is a carriage in the mansion, which is convenient."

Grandpa Qin doesn't know how they feel about their grandchildren and their wives being filial, so he won't insist on it. Anyway... the future is long. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
