168, Chapter 168

Qin Shoucheng felt aggrieved. His whole body ached, and his elder brother didn't even give him a chance to beg for mercy. It was obviously the eldest brother who asked him to come over and explain the good things about Long Yangzhi, but now, his whole body ached due to being trained, but the eldest brother didn't mention a single word.

Qin Shoucheng didn't suspect that his second brother was lying, but he didn't suspect that his eldest brother was deliberately targeting him. When he came, he thought it was his elder brother who wanted to test him, but the result was not satisfactory.

Qin Shoucheng sighed and got up from the ground feeling aggrieved. He did not dare to resist his elder brother. This eldest brother who left home for five years when he was seven years old, his impression has long been faded by these five years. But I also remember that when he was young, his eldest brother often played with him and even lifted him up. At that time, he was the most proud cub in Baili Village because he had two brothers and one sister. But now, after leaving Baili Village, he is the most miserable young man in Yunxiang County.

Qin Fang did not force him too hard. After being beaten and angry, he stopped. He walked up to Qin Shoucheng and condescended to him: "It can still be done. Are you standing up straight?"

Qin Shoucheng said: "Yes." His voice was weak and he lacked confidence.

Qin Fang: "I can't hear you, please speak louder."

Qin Shoucheng was frightened and hurriedly said loudly: "Yes." After answering, his eyes were tense. Qin Fang was afraid that his voice was not strong enough.

Fortunately, Qin Fang didn't force him anymore. He said: "When I left home and went to the military camp, I was three years older than you. Although I was taller and stronger than you, I couldn't eat as much meat as you in those sixteen years. I’ve eaten a lot this month.”

Qin Shoucheng felt sour in his heart after hearing this. He didn't know why. "Brother, I..." He didn't know what he was going to say, but he just felt uncomfortable.

Qin Fang couldn't help but continued: "I am the eldest brother and I have the responsibility to make you live a good life. But to make you live a good life, I fought for it with my own life on the battlefield. During those five years, many familiar faces in our military camp went to the battlefield and if they did not come back, new faces would come in.

I saw new faces one after another, and thinking about the faces that never came back, I couldn't help but wonder when I would be replaced by those new faces. "

Qin Shoucheng's eyes turned red: "Brother..."

Qin Fang continued: "But I can't. Because I still have grandparents, father, mother, and younger brothers and sisters at home. So, I don't have time to think about anything else. My time is used for training. , to make myself stronger, because only in this way can I return to Baili Village safely in five years.”

Qin Shoucheng's tears were streaming down his face, and his mouth was so bitter that he couldn't say a word. He was originally a precocious child, and he originally felt aggrieved, but now he was replaced by another emotion.

Even Qin Shouye, who was eavesdropping, lowered his head. He knew that it was not easy for his eldest brother, but he never thought about it deeply. It was because seeing his success made people forget the sacrifices behind his success, and those sacrifices were all due to hard work.

Military camps and battlefields have always been suffocating places.

Suddenly, Qin Fang stretched out his hand and touched Qin Shoucheng's head. His strict voice softened, with a rare smile: "But I'm happy. The guy who used to wear crotch pants needs me to carry him." ‌The third brother who can go up the mountain has grown up.”

Qin Shoucheng was stunned, with tears in his eyes. His eyes were confused. Qin Fang was still serious just now. Why did the elder brother laugh? In his impression, he had never seen his eldest brother smile like this since he returned to his hometown in March last year. No, I did laugh once, but that was when I was with my sister-in-law. Facing them, my eldest brother never smiled. In his heart, his eldest brother is like a mountain, taller and more awe-inspiring than his grandfather and father. "Brother?"

Qin Fang said: "I did a good job today. I didn't act impulsively when I encountered something. I knew how to think. I knew how to ask my second brother, who is older than you, for advice. I'm very pleased. My younger brother had already become a mature man when I didn't notice. I have a man who can support the family."

"Brother..." Qin Shoucheng cried. This was the first time he heard his eldest brother praise him. He was even happier than his grandfather and father praising him. In fact, since he went to the border with ‌, he ‌ was quite stressed ‌. Deep down in his heart, ‌ wanted to get the approval of his elder brother. ‌‌Si Ya and ‌sao looked friendly and affectionate. He ‌‌ envied them, but he didn't know what to do.

This time, he finally... Qin Shoucheng cried like a child.

He was a child.

Qin Fang has no comfort. The man just cries enough and doesn't need anyone to comfort him. "Do you know why I asked your second brother to come here today?"

Qin Shoucheng shook his head: "No... Isn't it okay to explain Long Yang's story? That young man Ren'en..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but put a palm on his back. Qin Shoucheng shrank and it hurt him to death. Then I heard Qin enlarged his mouth and said: "What's so good about Longyang? 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. No need to go through Your second brother." After saying this, he hid in the dark towards Qin Shouye.

Qin Shouye suddenly tensed up, and then he heard his second brother say, "You are the same."

Qin Shouye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled stupidly. The five-year gap between the brothers seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. The eldest brother's success and fame created a sense of alienation among them, and he suddenly disappeared. Compared with Qin Shoucheng's vague feelings about his eldest brother, Qin Shouye was deeply impressed by his eldest brother. After all, he was already ten years old at that time.

Qin Shouye came out of the corner: "Brother."

Qin Fang said: "Let's go and eat. Your sister-in-law should be waiting impatiently."

Qin Shouye and Qin Shoucheng: "Yeah."

Qin Fang went to the inner courtyard, and Qin Shouye and Qin Shoucheng returned to the courtyard respectively. In the yard, Niu Dan was waiting for them to eat. When Qin Shoucheng was carried back by Qin Shouye, Niu Dan asked in confusion: "What are the three of them doing? Their clothes are all torn."

Qin Shoucheng pursed his lips and didn't want to speak. His elder brother's words were still echoing in his mind. I am your elder brother. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly. You don't need to go through your second brother.

Qin Shouye said: "He became 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 verbose."

Yang Haiyan has already asked someone to serve the food. The food is a bit hot just after it comes out of the oven. Let it cool down and it will be ready to eat when Qin Fang comes back.

No, not even half an hour later, Qin Fang came back, covered in sweat. The weather is already hot and people tend to sweat easily, but in this competition, sweat breaks out even faster.

Upon seeing this, Yang Haiyan said: "You have to take a bath first before eating, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable."

Qin Fang also had this intention: "You eat first, don't wait for me."

But what's the point of eating alone? Yang Haiyan is naturally waiting. When Qin Fang came out of the shower, Yang Haiyan became curious: "How did you teach Shoucheng?"

Qin Fang knew that his daughter-in-law loved to listen to gossip. On the surface, she was gentle and virtuous, but deep down, she was very much like a little girl. She loved to listen to gossip and was squeamish. However, he was willing to satisfy her. He took a sip of the soup she had prepared in advance to cushion his stomach, and then told the story: "Although it is wrong to lie to the Master for leave, he is a bit calm and a bit smart. He knows that he is young and can't make up his mind. I also took time off to start my own business and grow up.”

Yang Haiyan's expression was different from the one just now. He knew why he was angry. He was just pretending to Qin Shouye. She smiled and said: "Shou Ben is a well-behaved and steady child, but this child's thinking is a bit quick."

Qin Fang was puzzled: "Lively?" The two had been together for a long time, and he could occasionally hear some strange words from her mouth. In fact, these terms are not difficult to understand, but the usage is a bit strange, but he has never heard anyone describe them in this way. However, it's not a serious matter.

Yang Haiyan said: "Yes, he is very lively. Compared with when he first came here last year, his personality is much different."

Qin Fang thought about it and said yes.

Baili Village

Second Uncle Qin had lived in Yunxiang County for a long time, and it was already early July when he returned to Baili Village. Qin Fang was also worried that it would be unsafe for his second uncle to travel alone, so he asked him to go with the escort team. Uncle Qin, who followed the escort team, returned to his hometown in the carriage of the escort team.

"Who is this?"

"Ah, this person is coming in a carriage, and there must be the eldest master inside."

"Go quickly, I don't know where the old man came from."

In July, the weather was hot and there was no work in the fields. Some people went to towns and counties to find work. The remaining women had nothing to do, so they chatted about things in the village.

Second Aunt Qin likes to chat very much. Ever since Qin Fang became rich, she has become even more fond of chatting. Even though Second Aunt Qin looks like a dumpling in front of Mother Qin and Grandma Qin, she is still very hot in front of others. In the past, she was aggressive because of her personality. In addition, there are three Qin brothers and four grandchildren. There are many men in the family, which means they are confident. Now she is aggressive because Qin Fang has retired. No one in Baili Village dares to be in front of her. On the contrary, many people came to propose marriage to her and wanted to marry their second daughter.

Erya is sixteen years old this year. It stands to reason that not only a sixteen-year-old girl, but also a fifteen-year-old girl will have to explain herself clearly. But Erya had just learned embroidery last year, and Second Aunt Qin was reluctant to let her get married, and wanted to stay until she was eighteen to earn some money for the family. Who knew that this year Qin Fang would be released and Erya's identity would be different. Not to mention whether the family is separated or not, even if the family is separated, if something happens to Erya, won't Qin Fang step forward? Even if Qin Fang is not released, how can Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin not come forward?

Therefore, Erya is no longer what it used to be.

Second Aunt Qin felt that all this was thanks to her. Qin Fang was promising, and he subsidized the land for his second house. If the land was rented out, he could get rent, so Aunt Qin stopped keeping Erya's embroidery money and asked her to save it for herself as a dowry.

Second Aunt Qin feels that she is the best mother in Baili Village.

It was afternoon. Everyone was chatting together. Second Aunt Qin was chewing melon seeds and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a carriage? Our A Fang also has horses and guards."
