Chapter 38
The whole family was happy again because of Qin Peng's return, and Zhao Jin'er felt warm in her heart.
She had been living under someone else's roof since she was eight years old. Where had she ever experienced such warmth at her uncle's and aunt's house?
"How is Ah Xiu's health? Let me check on him." Qin Peng said after greeting the whole family.
Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "Since I got married to Jin'er, Ah Xiu's health has been getting better day by day! I think he will be able to get out of bed soon, please go and take a look."
Qin Peng arrived at Qin Muxiu's house.
"I really didn't lie. Your complexion is much better than before! You've also gained some weight. You were too thin before!"
Qin Peng has a cheerful and attentive personality, and he has been more like an elder brother than Qin Hu since he was a child.
Qin Muxiu was the closest to him and was very happy to see him back, "Second brother!"
Qin Peng walked to the bedside and took out an oil paper bag from the bottom of his pocket, "Ask your wife to steam some for you to eat every day. I heard that this stuff can replenish qi and blood. You are weak and you need to take a good supplement."
Zhao Jin'er happened to bring tea in, took the oil paper bag, opened it and saw that it was a whole piece of donkey hide gelatin cake as big as a palm.
Although the quality is a bit poor, it must not be cheap.
"Donkey-hide gelatin...this is too expensive."
Of course she wanted to take it in and repair Ah's body, but she didn't dare to make the decision without permission, so she looked at Qin Muxiu.
When Qin Muxiu heard that it was donkey-hide gelatin, he was also surprised, "Why is the second brother spending so much money!"
Qin Peng waved his hand quickly, "Between brothers, no matter how much money is spent, the most important thing is that you get well as soon as possible."
He had brought the belt back, and since it was impossible for him to take it back, Qin Muxiu said to Zhao Jin'er, "Put it away."
He sighed again, "It's not easy for my second brother to be alone in the county. Please don't do this again."
Qin Peng said with a smile, "I can already become a apprentice. I just agreed with my master that I would work for him for one year to pay for my apprenticeship fee. Now I do some private work from time to time, and I can make a few bucks. It's better than digging for food in the fields."
It's easier, don't worry about me."
Qin Muxiu then asked, "Don't second brother come back every year during the Chinese New Year? Why are you back at this time of year?"
"Isn't this a hailstorm a few days ago? Several of our apprentices are from the countryside. We are worried about our families and can't concentrate on our work, so the master gave everyone three days' leave and asked them to go home and take a look before returning.
"
"I see."
"I just heard from Nai that Wu Banxian in our village actually calculated that the sky was going to bring disaster. Our father actually believed him and cut all the rice and wheat in advance. Our family is really lucky this time!"
When they mentioned this, Qin Muxiu and Zhao Jin'er looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
In the evening, Wang Fengying simply made the meat stewed with vermicelli into a steaming pot with a fragrant aroma. Qin Daping was so happy that he bought two kilograms of Xifeng wine at the entrance of the village.
Zhao Jiner helped Qin Muxiu out, and the whole family sat in a circle, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Halfway through the meal, Qin Peng said, "I've been at home these days. Let's break down the rice and take it back. It's best to spare a day or two. My eldest brother and I will go into the mountains to see if we can hunt some wild animals."
Object."
Qin Daping said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. It's rare for you to come back and have a good rest at home!"
Qin Peng said, "Winter is about to begin. Every family is short of food. We are determined to eat the mountains bare. We must be the first to do so."
Qin Muxiu agreed, "If you have money in your hands, it's best to go to the town to collect some food before the price of food increases."
What Wang Fengying cherishes the most is the little money in her hand. It is a wife's book saved for Qin Peng. How can she be willing to spend it like this.
Qin Peng is no better than Qin Muxiu, and the biased old lady Qin helps marry her!
"It's not such an exaggeration. There are so many men in the family. They go to the town to find work in winter. They will starve to death."
Qin Peng said, "There's something I haven't said yet. It's best for dad and eldest brother not to go to the town recently. The Huns are dancing very hard recently, and the county is talking about going to war. Don't let the troops be beaten."
.”
Qin Muxiu's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.
