38, Chapter 38 (1/2)
Qin Siya usually has a lively personality, but now she is quieter. She looks at Qin Fang, but there is no impression of her eldest brother in her mind.
Qin Shoucheng stood on horseback and said, "Si Ya, this is the eldest brother." Knowing that it was his eldest brother Qin, Qin Shoucheng was much bolder now than he had been before.
When Qin Siya heard what her third brother said, she felt relieved and shouted: "Brother." There was still a girlish shyness in her voice.
Qin Fang didn't think much about it: "Si Ya, do you want to sit on the horse?" Of course, there is another reason why Wu Shuai runs fast. It is larger than ordinary horses, so Wu Shuai sits on his back with three small horses. Children are no problem at all.
Before Qin Siya could answer, Yang Haiyan said: "Ms. sir, the fourth sister is a girl. How can she ride on a horse? Let her come on the carriage."
Qin Siya heard the female voice coming from the carriage, and heard the other party calling her eldest brother, husband, and knew that this was the sister-in-law whom her family had talked about last year, and the sister-in-law even brought cloth to make new clothes for her. Curious, she crossed over to Wushuai and headed towards the carriage, only to see a girl who was even more beautiful than the girl from Zhenxi, hugging her.
Qin Siya has never been to the county town. In her heart, the town is already an amazing place. And the girls in the town are very beautiful. At her age, the so-called beauty is not only beautiful appearance, but also beautiful clothes, beautiful hair, etc.
When Yang Haiyan saw the little girl kissing her, she smiled and waved: "Siya, right? I'm the sister-in-law, do you want to sit in the carriage?"
Qin Siya looked at Yang Haiyan stunned for a while, then blushed and said, "I'll go to the fields to call my father and mother." After saying that, he ran away quickly. Even though she is carrying a backpack and is small, she can run very fast.
Seeing this, Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan could only follow her.
Qin Fang took the horse and said, "Shou Cheng, how has your family been doing these years?"
At the age of twelve, Qin Shoucheng was considered to be a middle-aged boy in a family with a small population, so Qin Fang asked him naturally.
Qin Shoucheng also answered honestly: "Grandpa's waist was a little sore a few days ago, and dad asked him to see a doctor, but he didn't go. Grandma got sick at the beginning of the year, and the doctor prescribed medicine for five days, and she's fine now. My father, my mother, my uncles and aunts are all well."
Qin Fang felt a little distressed when he heard what Qin Shoucheng said about his grandfather and grandma. He is the eldest brother in the family and the first grandson of his grandparents, so his grandparents love him the most. At the same time, he also loved his grandparents. When his grandparents were sick, he was extremely nervous.
Yang Haiyan was sitting in the carriage. As a child, she didn't know how to lower her voice when speaking, so she could hear the conversation outside clearly.
Soon, we arrived at the door of Qin's house.
Niu Dan shouted loudly: "Grandma, we are back, Grandma is back."
Grandma Qin came back from the vegetable field and planned to wash up so she could cook at noon, when she heard the sound of eggs being cooked. This Niu Dan is a little chatterbox, inherited from his unattractive mother. But fortunately, this kid has a good personality and is very happy.
When she heard about Niudan, Grandma Qin said in the yard: "Why is the elder brother coming back and saying something stupid? I'm afraid you went to be lazy and left the work to your third brother again." When she got up, she heard the movement at the door of the yard and went out for a while. Then he was dumbfounded, "A...A Fang?"
When Qin Fang saw Grandma Qin, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Ah Fang...my precious grandson, it's really you..." Grandma Qin hurried forward and pulled Qin Fang to look at her. At the same time, tears were flowing down her cheeks. When her grandson secretly signed up for military service without telling them, she shed a lot of tears. At the same time, I also blame myself for being useless because my family cannot afford military service. Otherwise, why would my grandson need to serve in the military at a young age?
Qin Fang hurriedly comforted: "Grandma, I'm back. This is such a great joy. Why are you crying?"
Before Grandma Qin could refute, Niu Danzai giggled: "Nai, you are an adult and you are still crying. I am so embarrassed."
Grandma Qin didn't care to cry anymore. She was about to meditate on the horse and was not filial to her grandson.
Niu Dan also said arrogantly and proudly: "Grandma, you can't hook me..."
Grandma Qin was really angry: "A Fang, drag this kid down for me."
Qin Fang expressionlessly took Niudan off the horse. As soon as Niudan hit the ground, he threw away the basket and ran away. He looked behind him as he ran, fearing that Grandma Qin would chase him.
Yang Haiyan had already opened the carriage door curtain, and she chuckled: "Niudan is so lively." She was innocent, and although she was a bit naughty, she was also cute.
When Grandma Qin heard the gentle laughter, she couldn't help but go away. She saw a beautiful young woman had come out of the carriage, and she couldn't help being a little stunned.
Qin Fang introduced: "Grandma, this is Yanyan, my wife."
Grandma Qin had already guessed from this, but she didn't dare to admit it for fear of admitting the wrong person. After all, this girl is more beautiful and stylish than the ladies from wealthy families in the county. Grandma Qin was still more discerning than Qin Siya. Qin Siya only recognized the girl from the town, but Grandma Qin thought of the girl from the county town.
But now that Qin Fang introduced her, Grandma Qin felt confident. She said enthusiastically: "This is A Fang's house. It's your first time coming to our place. Are you used to it? Come on, come on, come and drink tea in the house." As Grandma Qin said that, although she got closer to Yang Haiyan, she did not pull Yang Haiyan away. She saw that the girl's clothes were beautiful and the materials were carefully made, so she did not dare to pull them out for fear of getting them dirty and making the girl unhappy. . If this happens, I'm afraid it will make it difficult for the eldest grandson to be a good person.
Unexpectedly, Yang Haiyan stepped forward and took Grandma Qin's hand affectionately: "Grandma, when I came here, I was worried that the elders in the family wouldn't like me. But seeing you so kind, I feel relieved."
People who act coquettishly have candy to eat, this is right. Grandma Qin felt that Yang Haiyan didn't dislike her for being dirty, and she was so close to her, so she had an inexplicable liking for Yang Haiyan. She immediately patted Yang Haiyan's hand and said, "Don't worry, my dear, our Qin family are all kind people, and everyone in the family is easy to get along with."
Yang Haiyan smiled lightly, and her voice was gentler than Qin Fang had ever heard before: "Thank you, grandma."
No, Qin Fang thought, when they first got married, he was on night duty, and she came to deliver meals at noon every day, calling him husband-in-law in this gentle way. But now...it seems that she is not as gentle as before. Qin Fang doesn't understand the trap of women's tenderness, nor does he understand how to think about it. He is happy to see that his grandma and daughter-in-law are doing so well. He paid the coachman and asked him to go back and move the things in the carriage himself.
The noise of horses and carriages coming was a bit loud, so several nearby households saw it. Some people were secretly watching in the yard at home, and some people simply came out to watch.
Some people recognized Qin Fang from the scene, so they greeted him: "This is Qin Fang. It has been five years in the blink of an eye, and you have grown so big."
"Qin Fang, you have completed your military service and have come back with your wife?" Many people in the village knew about Qin Fang's marriage to his wife. Last year, the whole family went to show off their new clothes, saying that Qin Fang's wife brought them here, so everyone knew about Qin Fang's marriage. People in ancient times didn't have much fun. The new daughter-in-law bought new cloth for the family to make clothes, which was something worth showing off.
Although Qin Fang's personality has become much colder due to his five years in the military camp, when he meets the villagers, he still has a bit of his old temper: "Yes, aunt, I have completed my five-year military service, so I brought my wife home with me." Come and see."
"So are you back? Or are you still going back?"
Qin Fang: "I still want to go back."
"Then how long can you stay here this time?"
Qin Fang: "Twenty days."
"Qin Fang, I heard that your daughter-in-law was given to you by the imperial court. She is so beautiful."
Qin Fang: "Yes, this is the gift from the imperial court." As he said this, he bowed to one side, "This is the emperor's kindness. He is considerate of our soldiers on the border, so the imperial court has approved our marriage."
"Oh, this emperor is so good."
"So there are so many of you soldiers, and the court has arranged marriages for you one by one? How many girls will it take?" Naturally, everyone is not interested in important court affairs, but for this kind of marriage and other gossips, , naturally interested. If you know it, you can learn a lot, and maybe you can brag about it.
Qin Fang patiently explained: "No, it's because of the military merits of the generals that the court can recommend marriage." To put it simply, only centurions have it. After all, there are not many girls, so we can't take care of everyone. .
As soon as everyone heard that Qin Fang had achieved military exploits, they felt that Qin Fang was even more powerful.
At the same time, Qin Siya had already run into the field. She shouted at the top of her lungs: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, the eldest brother is back with the sister-in-law... Grandpa, Dad, Mom, the eldest brother is back with the sister-in-law." Already..."
Qin's mother threw down the hoe and ran to the shore: "What did you say? Your eldest brother came back with his sister-in-law? Is it the eldest brother? Are you sure it's the eldest brother?"
Qin Siya: "Yeah, yeah, my third and fourth brothers, I went to cut pig grass and came back. We met my eldest brother and sister-in-law on the road. My eldest brother asked the third and fourth brothers to sit on a big horse. I My sister-in-law asked me to sit in the carriage, but I didn't sit down, so I came to call you." There was a little pride in her tone, Qin Siya could also ride in a carriage. Although I have never sat on one before, it feels like I have done so and I can show off to a little girl.
Qin's mother didn't believe it and asked again: "Is it your eldest brother?"
Qin Siya: "Mom, my third brother said he was my eldest brother, can you admit your mistake? Can anyone else let my third brother ride a horse? Let me ride a carriage?"
Mother Qin breathed a sigh of relief. She heard correctly. It was her eldest son who was here. Wait: "Is your sister-in-law here too? How is your sister-in-law?" In fact, the family had calculated that their son had served in the military for five years and might come back, but he never expected that he would actually come back. Fortunately, we built a few more rooms at home last year. I thought that my son would come back with his daughter-in-law and he would not be able to share one room with his brothers. Also, I thought that my business would grow up and I would like to have a daughter-in-law, so I simply built a few more rooms. , it’s really made right.
Qin Siya recalled the sister-in-law on the carriage who was more beautiful than the girl from the town. She said loudly: "My sister-in-law is so nice. She is even prettier than the girl from the town. She even asked me to ride in the carriage." Woolen cloth."
After hearing this, Qin's mother hit her daughter on the head: "You still know how beautiful she is."
Qin Siya: "Of course I know."
Qin's father has already come over with Qin's mother carrying a hoe on his back. Behind him are Grandpa Qin and the rest of the Qin family: "Is it really your eldest brother who is back?"
Qin Siya was about to say something when Niu Dan ran over: "My eldest brother is back... My eldest brother is back... My eldest brother is back on a horse..."
Okay, no one will ask Qin Siya anymore, they all believe that Qin Fang is back. So, Grandpa Qin took the lead, and the family went home in great numbers. It was different from when Qin Fang came with something. Although he was happy before, this time everyone had joy on their faces. After all, Qin Fang came back safely.
Unlike everyone else who was happy, Mother Qin was still a little nervous. Not only are daughters-in-law nervous when meeting their parents-in-law, but parents-in-law are also nervous when meeting their daughter-in-law. The parents-in-law from a peasant family felt uneasy when they saw the daughter-in-law of a high family. Although to others, Yang Haiyan was born a slave and had a low status. However, the imperial court revoked her slave status. She was a good citizen from a wealthy family. She had studied, knew how to read, and could write well. To ordinary people, she was like a young lady from a wealthy family. Qin's mother asked Qin Siya again: "How is your sister-in-law?"
Eight-year-old Qin Siya didn't understand what Qin's mother meant, so she said, "It would be great if my sister-in-law goes. She is even more beautiful than the girl from Zhen ."
Okay, Mother Qin won't ask anymore, she feels like she won't be able to get anything out of her.
The group returned home and saw Qin Fang moving things on the carriage. However, none of them recognized Qin Fang. The reason for not being able to recognize them was the same as Qin Shoucheng's. Sixteen-year-old Qin Fang and twenty-one-year-old Qin Fang were so different in height that they couldn't be recognized at all.
It was Qin Siya who said, "Big brother is moving things."
Qin's mother was stunned for a moment: "That's your eldest brother?" Oh my god, has his son grown so tall?
Qin Fang is a martial arts practitioner, so his hearing is naturally better than ordinary people. He also heard the voices of Qin Siya and Qin's mother. Of course, they were also close. Qin Fang turned around and saw the Qin family. At that moment, the Qin family all recognized him. Although five years have passed, Qin Fang has grown taller, stronger, and his facial features have broadened, but he is his parents and his son, and it is more than meets the eye.
Qin's mother's eyes were red: "I'm a Fang..." She ran over and hugged her son, "You're back, you're back, you're really worried about me." Although her son would bring a baby every year The letter came back, but they were still worried. Especially when you are a mother, that is more worrying than cutting her heart out.
Qin Fang also hugged Qin's mother: "Mom, my son is back. He is fine and his body is not injured. My wife has checked with a doctor and has also taken care of my health. Don't worry."
Grandpa Qin: "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." As he said that, his voice was a little hoarse.
Qin's father also loves his son. He has always been a stupid person, and his mother-in-law has the final say in the family. But now, seeing his son back, he was so happy that he almost couldn't control it.
Second Uncle Qin: "I'm finally back. It's good to be back."
Uncle Qin: "A Fang has grown so big."
Second Aunt Qin: "Isn't that right? Isn't the food in the military camp very good?"
Aunt Qin didn't speak.
Mother Qin glanced at Second Aunt Qin. She didn't want to quarrel with this dog who couldn't spit out human things. "Son, do you still want to move this thing? Let your father and others move it. You are tired after walking all the way. Go back and rest quickly."
Qin’s father: “Yes, yes, we will move it.”
Qin Fang: "No more, just this box of things. But the carriage and the horse belong to us, but the door of the yard is too small, the carriage can't be pulled in, so it can only be left outside."
Second Uncle Qin: "Tear down the courtyard door and make it bigger. This door can be changed quickly." The courtyard wall is made of stones, and with the addition of clay, it is not as good as it was originally. It's very sturdy, so it's very convenient to remove some width parts. After all, no one of them felt at ease leaving such a valuable carriage outside.
Second Aunt Qin: "Yes, yes, tear down the wall."
Grandma Qin: "What are you muttering about outside? A Fang's wife is still inside, come and see her."
When Qin's mother heard this, she hurriedly pulled her clothes, and then wiped them. Hey, they were a little dirty today because they went to the fields, but it was too late to change them now. She walked into the courtyard a little cautiously, feeling that this was how a daughter-in-law would feel when meeting her parents-in-law.
Yang Haiyan was inside sorting out the boxes that Qin Fang had moved in. However, although the Qin family had prepared the house, they had not prepared any cushions or blankets for them. They were afraid that if they were ready, it would take a long time for Qin Fang and his family to come back.
So Grandma Qin said to Yang Haiyan: "Let's go to the town later and buy a wedding quilt for you and A Fang. You were not here before, and the family didn't know when we got married, so we didn't have any of these." Prepare."
Yang Haiyan: "Thank you, grandma. Grandma, you are so considerate. My husband always mentions grandma and says that grandma is the backbone of the family, which makes him feel relieved. He is just worried that grandma is old and will not take good care of herself. Body, I’m afraid grandma you’ll be tired.”
When Grandma Qin heard this, no matter what Yang Haiyan said was true or false, she was happy that her grandson-in-law could coax her anyway: "My grandson is filial. He was not the one who went to the military service before, but he..."
Yang Haiyan smiled: "He is my father's son and should be filial. He should serve in the military on behalf of his elders. This is what he should do. Besides, if he had not served in the military, I would not have met such a good person. "
Qin's mother heard this and walked in: "We, A Fang, are so lucky to have such a good wife."
Yang Haiyan turned around and saw a shrewd woman walking in.
Grandma Qin said, "This is Afang's mother. Come on, don't crowd in the room. Let's go outside to get some sun and get to know our own family. We'll go back to your and Afang's wedding banquet and get to know other people. Oh, by the way, are you going back this time?"
Yang Haiyan bowed to Qin's mother first: "Mother, my name is Haiyan, and I'm Afang's wife."
Qin's mother hurriedly helped her up: "Hey." As Si Ya said, she was a prettier girl than the girls in the town. Look at her white face, as white as flour. Look at her voice, soft and gentle, not like other shrews with loud voices. She is gentle and gentle, and her grandchildren will definitely be as good as this when they are born. Mother Qin looked at her again, her eyes were clear and upright, and she didn't mean to look down on them, and she was satisfied. If possible, who doesn't want to marry a good daughter-in-law for their son?
Yang Haiyan followed Mother Qin and stood up, and said: "My husband has a month's vacation this time, but it takes us ten days to travel back and forth, so we can only stay at home for twenty days. Grandma, mother, if there is a good day during these twenty days, you can make up for my husband and I's wedding wine, and let me meet all the relatives and friends at home."
When Grandma Qin heard this, she meant: "Okay, okay." This granddaughter-in-law is really good, and she said everything clearly.
Aunt Qin: "Afang's wife, I'm Afang's second aunt."
Mother Qin: "This is your second aunt, this is your third aunt."
Yang Haiyan smiled slightly, and also performed a junior greeting as if she had just done so: "Second aunt, third aunt."
Aunt Qin: "Hey." In her heart, this eldest nephew is really lucky to marry such a beautiful girl, and her cultivation is different from others.
Aunt Qin has only daughters and no sons. So she is not as confident as Aunt Qin, and her temper is also soft. She also responded politely: "Afang's wife."
Grandma Qin clapped her hands: "Children, come here and meet your eldest sister-in-law."
Led by Qin Shouye, everyone came over. In fact, everyone kept a distance and secretly watched them. Grandma Qin introduced them from the oldest to the oldest: "Afang's wife, this is Shouye, Afang's second brother. This is Shoucheng, Afang's third brother. Afang's eldest sister Daya is not here, this is his fourth sister Si Ya. This is Niu Dan, the fourth boy, from Afang's second uncle's family. Erya and Sanya are not here, they went to the embroidery workshop to learn embroidery. Erya is also from his second uncle's family, she is fifteen years old this year, and Sanya is from his third uncle's family, she is twelve years old this year."
Speaking of which, it has been five years since Qin Fang went to serve in the army. During these five years, Aunt Qin San has not been pregnant, so not only Aunt Qin San can't stand up at home, but Uncle Qin San is like a broken spine, always feeling that he has no descendants. Therefore, he is particularly good to his nephews.
Yang Haiyan: "Brothers and sisters, hello, wait a moment." As she said, she went into the house and took out the cakes she bought from the county town, "Brothers and sisters, take these things and share them." As she said, she gave the things to Qin Shouye, after all, he was the oldest among them.
Aunt Qin glanced at them but didn't follow them. When eating, everyone in the family was fair, so there was never any conflict.
Grandma Qin said, "Why don't you thank your sister-in-law?"
Qin Shouye and others said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." Then a group of people happily went to the main hall to share the food.
Niu Dan had the most: "Second brother, second brother, give me a piece first, and I'll give you a small piece later."
Qin Si Ya: "No, if Niu Dan finishes eating, he will have to ask us for it. We have to eat together, otherwise it will all go into his stomach."
Niu Dan protested: "Si Ya, you have to call me Fourth Brother. How many times have I told you? You never listen."
Qin Si Ya: "You are a few days older than me." Speaking of which, Niu Dan was born on December 28th, and Qin Si Ya was born on the fifth day of the first lunar month of the following year. They seem to be one year apart, but in fact they are only seven days apart. For Qin Si Ya, this is really annoying.
