45, Chapter 45
Yang Haiyan originally thought that Qin Daya would look like her mother, but in fact, she was not like her at all. She was relatively quiet. Because when Qin Daya was born, she had a brother who was several years older than her. She had her brother to support her in everything she did. She had her brother to take care of her when she was bullied or when she didn't have enough food. So her character was raised to be relatively quiet under the care of her brother.
Qin Daya's husband was the second child in the family. Although the second child was most likely to be ignored, the parents of that family were quite kind, so Qin Daya lived a good life after marrying there, which was almost the same as at home.
After meeting, Yang Haiyan gave Qin Daya a silver hairpin, which was considered as a dowry from the eldest sister-in-law to the younger sister-in-law. Qin Daya shyly accepted it. If it wasn't for Qin's mother's hint, she would not dare to accept it.
Soon, it was noon.
During the meal, all the people from the Qin family who went to the fields came back. Grandpa Qin looked at the family and was very happy because there were so many people. It was his pride to have the Qin family full of children and grandchildren during his lifetime.
Grandpa Qin put down his hoe, washed his hands in the yard, and then said, "Big brother, A Fang, come in."
The two people whose names were called looked at each other, not knowing what the old man suddenly called them for, but they followed the old man into the house.
Aunt Qin followed them with her eyes, and wanted to go in and take a look, but when she saw Grandma Qin sitting at the door with a small chair, she shrank back into her shell.
Yang Haiyan walked to Mother Qin's side. Not to mention Aunt Qin's curiosity, even she was curious.
Mother Qin had some ideas in her mind.
In the house, Grandpa Qin said, "Sit down."
Father Qin always dared not disobey his father's words, but there was a bottom line for this. But his respect for his father was engraved in his bones, so when Father Qin asked him to sit down, he was a little afraid. But Qin Fang did it.
If it was Qin Fang before he served in the army, he would not dare to do it. But after five years of military service, although he still respected his grandfather, the fear in his awe was gone. After all, he was a man who walked down from the corpses of the enemy, and the murderous aura and momentum on him were heavier than the old man.
Grandpa Qin glanced at Qin's father and said with some disdain: "You are not as good as your son."
Qin Fang naturally pretended not to hear.
Qin's father smiled and said: "The son is more promising than the old man, which is a good thing." It means that his son is good, and he is very happy.
Grandpa Qin cursed: "Promising." Then he directly stated the purpose of calling them here today, "Today I called you in, there are two main things to say. The first thing is about Afang's official position. Grandpa is very happy. Our Qin family has a promising grandson." He was really happy. Although he knew that the eldest grandson's official position was fought for with his life, it was also an honor.
Qin Fang said calmly, "Grandpa, thank you for the compliment."
Grandpa Qin said again, "You don't have to be modest. Although I am very happy that you have become an official, we should just know about this matter. Your grandmother, me, your mother, your father, and your wife are the only ones who know about it. I am not going to make this matter public."
Qin Fang was a little surprised, and Qin's father didn't understand it either.
Grandpa Qin said, "I discussed this with your grandmother last night. You have become an official, and I am afraid that your family members will be bold and do something that will harm you, so I simply don't tell them and let them live the same way they did before." Grandpa Qin is a wise man. There are so many people who take advantage of others' power in recent years. If relatives use Qin Fang's reputation to do bad things, they don't know, and they can't prevent it.
Father Qin didn't say it. This is his son's business. His son has grown up and doesn't need him to make the decision. So he looked at Qin Fang, and Qin Fang said, "Listen to Grandpa."
Grandpa Qin nodded: "There is another thing, which is about the separation of the family. Logically speaking, you have become an official, and it is best for you and your family to separate the family. After the separation, your affairs will not affect your family, and your family affairs will not affect you. So, I discussed with your grandmother and decided to separate the family."
Father Qin opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Dad."
Although Qin Fang had heard Mother Qin say this before, he was a little surprised to hear Grandpa Qin say that they were so happy to separate the family.
Grandpa Qin looked at them and smiled: "My grandson, I believe that even if the family is divided, you will help the second and third houses where you need you, right?"
Qin Fang: "Of course I will."
Grandpa Qin: "So, why do we have to separate the family and drag you? According to common sense, after the family is separated, your grandmother and I will follow your first house, but the world is vast, and your future life may not be limited here, and your grandmother and I are getting older and will not follow your first house, so in the future, we will still be here."
Father Qin immediately said: "Dad, my child and his mother will not leave either. If you don't follow our first house, how can your son live?"
Qin Fang thought for a while: "Grandpa, you and grandma will naturally follow our first house. But as my father said, I am now at the border, and my father and mother can't go there. If there are changes in the future, it will be a matter of the future. So after the family is separated, you follow us, and when there are changes, we will solve this problem at that time."
Grandpa Qin pondered for a moment and thought it was okay, and it was about what happened in the future: "Okay. Next are some things from home, divided into four portions, one for each of you three brothers, and one for us, the old couple. Yes. We, the elder couple, will follow the big house, and the output of the fields will also be shared by the big house, so the second and third sons will not be allowed to take care of themselves in old age. When we, the old couple, are sick and see the doctor, you three brothers will share the expenses."
Qin Fang thought for a while: "No, since grandma is following us, the second uncle and the third uncle will not have to bear anything." After all, the second uncle and the third uncle have no money. They separated the family without telling him about the official affairs, and he felt sad in his heart. I felt bad, but he didn't refuse. People always have selfish motives. Moreover, if the grandparents’ medicine expenses are so large that they need to be borne by both the second and third uncles, then the second and third uncles cannot afford such an amount. And if it's a small quantity, he can afford it.
Grandpa Qin looked at Qin Fang and saw that he was very determined. He then looked at Qin's father: "What do you think?"
No matter what Qin's father thought, he naturally followed his son's advice: "Listen to A Fang."
Grandpa Qin nodded: "Okay. There is one more thing, about the adoption of the third child's family."
Qin's father was stunned for a moment, then said frankly: "I...I don't want to adopt him." After all, they are all his sons. Although brothers are important, can they be more important than their own sons? "I only have three sons, and the military camp is so dangerous, I..." If the eldest son is in danger, he only has two sons. To take a step back, even if he has three sons, he may not be guaranteed to have grandchildren.
Both parties are sons. In this matter, Grandpa Qin really cannot force the eldest son's son to adopt him.
Qin Fang said: "Grandpa, Sanya can recruit a son-in-law. The adopted boy is not Sanya's biological son, so how can any of Sanya's children be biologically related? By the way, even those who are destitute in the village are not. There is no one to recruit a son-in-law. Moreover, if Sanya is looking for a son-in-law, we will not be afraid of Sanya being bullied. However, if the third uncle does not want Sanya to find a son-in-law, I will do it for them when they are old. He is his biological uncle. Uncles who have no sons are provided for by their nephews. This is the case in every household.
However, it also depends on whether the nephew is willing to provide for him in old age.
Grandpa Qin didn't say anything after hearing this: "Let's go eat."
After Qin Fang and Qin's father went out, everyone's eyes were focused on them.
Grandpa Qin: "Eat."
Qin's father and Qin Fang originally wanted to talk about this matter with their daughter-in-law, but Grandpa Qin called for dinner, so they had to let it go.
Because she was unhappy at lunch yesterday, Aunt Qin restrained herself during lunch today and had a quite harmonious meal. After dinner, Grandpa Qin said: "I have something I want to tell you. I just called the boss and A Fang in and discussed it. Now tell me and listen to your opinions." Don’t think I’m partial, I called Boss and A Fang in beforehand because they were the ones who suffered in this matter.”
Second Aunt Qin: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Uncle Qin and others also looked at Father Qin.
Qin's father said directly without giving in, "I plan to separate the family."
Grandma Qin's face was calm. She and the old man had discussed it yesterday.
Third Uncle Qin: "Dad, why do we need to separate our families?"
Aunt Qin's eyes flashed. She agreed to the separation of the family. The eldest family had more children. Although the eldest family also worked the same, she also had a lot to eat.
Third Uncle Qin thought that he was from a poor family and had no sons, so he did not want to separate the family. If the family is not divided, he and everyone else can't be considered an extinct household. But if the family is divided, he will be an independent household. Wouldn't it be an extinct household?
Grandpa Qin: "I am asking each household one by one, boss, do you agree to split the family? If you don't agree, tell me why you don't agree, and we will solve it one by one."
Father Qin: "I agree."
Grandpa Qin nodded and asked Second Uncle Qin: "Second brother, do you agree to split up the family?"
Second Uncle Qin had no idea: "I listen to Dad."
Second Aunt Qin pinched his waist hard. Second Uncle Qin took a breath of air, which hurt him to death.
Grandpa Qin said: "Say directly whether you agree to the separation of the family or not. If you don't agree, explain the reason."
Aunt Qin didn't wait for Uncle Qin this time and spoke herself: "Dad, we agree to separate our families, but I have a problem."
Grandpa Qin: "Say."
Second Aunt Qin chuckled: "After the separation, the money earned by our second girl from embroidering handkerchiefs does not need to be handed over to the public school, right?" Because the public school paid for the girl to learn, she wanted to know. indivual.
Third Aunt Qin's ears twitched. She had seen that the second sister-in-law was not very smart before, so she didn't expect that she would think of this.
Grandpa Qin: "After the family is separated, the money you earn is yours, otherwise it would be a family separation? So now, second brother, do you agree? Don't let your wife say it, you say it yourself."
Second Uncle Qin: "I agree."
Grandpa Qin looked at Uncle Qin: "Where is the third child? Why don't you agree?"
