Chapter 45 Dog Food
Author: Loeva
Mr. Qin sighed: "That kid Shaoying is confused, he shouldn't go there in the first place. There is nothing important about the He brothers and sisters, but they are with those officers and soldiers. The Yulin Guards have now issued a wanted order, and those people
When you are desperate, God knows what you will do. Shaoying is a weak scholar. Even if he has several good bodyguards at his disposal, he can't defeat him with just two fists. What if someone is good or bad? "
Qin Hanzhen said hurriedly: "Have Yulin Guards publicly wanted that group of people? Why? Aren't they on vacation? When the vacation is over, they will go back. It will be convenient to arrest people at that time!"
It’s time to secretly search for their whereabouts and then lead the troops to arrest them. Isn’t this public arrest warrant clearly intended to force people to a desperate end?
Mr. Qin sighed: "Even a child like you can understand, how can the people of Yulinwei not understand? They act like this, I'm afraid they also have the intention of fooling people from the capital. That's all, they are official people
How can we, ordinary people, get involved in a fight with each other? But I think people from the capital shouldn't be fooled so easily."
Qin Hanzhen was a little curious again: "What case are the people from the capital investigating? What does it have to do with that group of officers and soldiers?"
Mr. Qin was about to speak when he was interrupted by Mr. Niu: "No case has anything to do with our family. Old man, please stop talking and tell me. Has Shaoying found the whereabouts of Mr. He?
!”
Mr. Qin had no choice but to answer her: "Shaoying's servant said that when they arrived in Linxian, they did find traces of He and her brother. He's master and servant once sought medical treatment in a large local medical clinic, claiming that they were
He was injured when he encountered a thief on the way. He bought medicine, asked the wife of the owner of the medical center to help bandage the wound, and then left. But that was a few days ago, probably the second day after He was injured. They
There were carriages and horses with them, but there were no followers, only the He brothers and sisters and three people from Qin Taisheng's family. Shaoying led people to chase them in the direction they left, but failed to catch them. He only guessed that they should be returning to Datong.
Already."
Mr. Niu patted his thigh vigorously: "I guessed that they were going back to Datong! Humph, they thought that since Datong was far away, we couldn't control the He family? That bastard An Ge would only indulge his wife.
Nonsense. Since we sent someone to deliver the letter and he refused to pay attention, then we will go there in person and drive that bitch of the He family out of the Qin family no matter what! Then bring Brother Zi back. I will
Don't believe it, when we parents came here, Brother An still dared to disobey us! Last time he knelt for a whole day and a night to marry He, and I felt sorry for my son before letting go. This time, I will never do it again no matter what.
I relented!"
Qin Hanzhen saw that she was so angry, and remembered that she had coughed several times before when she was angry. He quickly stood up and patted Niu's chest and back to calm her down: "Grandma, don't be angry."
Niu touched her head. She didn't cough today, but she just felt a little breathless. Her health has improved now, and of course she won't cough all the time like before.
Mr. Qin personally poured a cup of warm red date tea for his wife and advised her: "You still have the same temper. What's so annoying? You're so angry that your body is so angry. Why don't Sister Sang and I worry?
Maybe she'll be happy because you can't control her when you're sick."
Mr. Niu rolled his eyes: "She is dreaming! I am her mother-in-law, and I can control her for a day. If she disobeys, I still have a son!"
Mr. Qin smiled and said: "You can go see Brother An if you want, but the weather is getting colder now, and it's about to snow. Don't tell me you can't stand it when you go out on a cold day, Sister Sang and I will
I can’t bear it. If I really want to go, I have to wait until spring comes and the flowers bloom.”
Niu was puzzled: "I'll just take the others there myself. Why are you and Sister Sang joining in the fun? You still have students, and Sister Sang's health is not good yet."
Mr. Qin smiled: "Do you think I will let you travel far away alone? Don't think about it. We have been husband and wife for nearly thirty years, but we have never been separated. If you want to go to Datong, you must take me with you.
I'm just one piece of luggage. As for Sister Sang, we are leaving home and we can't leave her here alone."
Mr. Niu's face turned slightly red and he said a bit coyly: "That's all, since you said you want to go together, let's wait until next spring."
Mr. Qin smiled and nodded.
Qin Hanzhen looked at his grandfather and then his grandmother. He was speechless and silently ate the dog food.
However, Qin Hanzhen didn't eat this dog candy for long. Although Mr. Qin and Mr. Niu were loving husband and wife, they were also an old couple. After a sweet affection, they started to talk about business.
Mr. Qin said to Mr. Niu: "Shaoying found out that the He family brothers and sisters have returned to Datong, but they still seem to be unwilling to give up and refuse to go home. They are still stranded in Linxian County. I think this is not an option, so I plan to call Mo Hu
Follow the young man from the Wu family to Linxian County to drag Shaoying home no matter what. Not to mention anything else, the He family brothers and sisters did not go with the group of officers and soldiers, and those people are most likely still hiding in Linxian County.
County, Shaoying has a gap with them. If they find out, it will be dangerous. It’s almost snowing time, so Shaoying should go back to Wubao early. He just regained his family property this year, and it’s time to
It’s time to go back to my hometown to worship and comfort my ancestors, but we can’t let anything happen at this time.”
Niu hurriedly said: "This is right. Just send Mo Hu and ask a few more strong young men to help him. Just tell him that if Shaoying refuses to come back, he will kidnap him back. He
If he refuses to go home, tie him to our house. He has good intentions to find He for us, but we can’t let anything happen to him."
Mr. Qin smiled and said: "I know. Look at you. Just now you were complaining about Shaoying, but now you regard him as a treasure."
Niu said angrily: "Didn't I know why he ran away before? It's all your fault. Who told you not to tell me?"
Mr. Qin couldn't help but complained: "I don't know either. I just came back to tell you when I found out."
Niu Shi rolled his eyes at him: "I don't care, it's your fault anyway."
Mr. Qin sighed: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, so don't be upset. How about I ask the kitchen to make mutton soup for you tonight? When I entered the house, I saw Mr. Zhang and his son giving us half a door.
The sheep came and said they were just killed today and are the freshest. I just made a soup to replenish your health."
Niu said disapprovingly: "I'm tired of drinking mutton soup every day. It's okay to drink this twice now and then. Don't you get annoyed if I keep eating it? When are you going to make me some roast mutton? Add more Sichuan peppercorns
Powder, preferably with cumin, so it has a nice flavor. I eat this every winter, but this year I can only eat rice porridge, side dishes and mutton soup."
Mr. Qin helplessly coaxed her: "How can your body withstand those spicy dishes now? When you are well, I will let you eat whatever you like."
"Listen first." Mr. Niu curled his lips, "Don't forget what you said. Don't even think about entering my house when the time comes."
Qin Hanzhen was caught off guard and was stuffed with a handful of dog food. She was almost blinded by her grandparents. She decided to save herself.
Qin Hanzhen cleared his throat and said to Mr. Qin innocently: "Grandpa, my health is much better now. When the sun came out at noon yesterday, I walked around the yard twice. Grandma also said,
I have more strength now than before, can you find something for me to do? I eat and sleep every day, and I am bored to death."
Mr. Qin smiled and said: "You monkey, you don't change your nature even when you are sick. Are you bored and want to go out to play? No!" He said decisively, "Your vitality is seriously injured this time, even if your body is slightly
There is improvement, but it can’t be compared to before. It’s cold outside, and you might catch a cold if you’re not careful. You’d better not go out. If you really feel stuffy, just carry it on your back.
Practice calligraphy by reading the book. You have memorized and practiced it before, but you just can't sit still. You obviously have a good memory. You can memorize "Three Hundred Thousand" after reading it several times, but when you are seven years old, you still can't read it.
Write it neatly. It will be embarrassing for people to know that you are a girl from my Qin family in the future. When you learn your lessons well, it will not be too late for me to let you out."
Qin Hanzhen laughed dryly. Well, although what her grandfather said didn't sound good, what he said was a good thing. She always wanted to let people know that she could read. She took this opportunity to practice calligraphy, read more books, and be kind to herself.
It will also be beneficial in the future.
Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Niu saw that her husband had assigned homework to her granddaughter, she also took out the piece of cloth and said, "Sister Sang is a girl. Since she has to learn homework, she can't just read and write, but also learn to do needlework. You are seven now."
I'm 20 years old, and I've forgotten a lot of things because of my injuries. It's already a bit late to start learning now. I'd better take advantage of the free time in winter to quickly pick up all the things I've forgotten."
Mr. Qin stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing very much: "Okay. In that case, Sister Sang gets up early every day, first memorizes 'three hundred thousand' several times, and then starts copying, first copying three hundred big characters every day, and so on.
Once you've practiced it, you can change it to five hundred big characters. In half a day's work, you should be able to do it very well.
Just take it easy. After lunch, take a short break and learn needlework in the afternoon. When you learn simple needlework and don't show shyness in front of girls of the same age, I will teach you some chess, calligraphy and painting. We are bookish.
My daughter is not good at optical needlework."
Mr. Qin and Mr. Niu looked at each other and nodded. Qin Hanzhen sat aside, the expression on his face already stiff.
Hey, hey, hey, she just wants to find something to learn and pass the time, not to be so bored, but she has no intention of tricking herself!
No matter how miserable Qin Hanzhen felt, the Qin family and his wife had already made a decision. From then on, Qin Hanzhen lived in dire straits. As Mr. Qin said, she got up early every day and started to endorse and practice
After getting up from a nap, I started learning to sew and thread again. I had something to do all day long, and I no longer had to complain about boredom.
Fortunately, Mr. Qin is very strict with himself and is quite considerate of his frail granddaughter. He allows her to sleep until the beginning of the morning (7 a.m.) every day and does not force her to get up before dawn. In addition, after lunch every day
With a fixed half-hour lunch break, Qin Hanzhen was able to ensure adequate sleep. In addition, her three meals a day were nutritious but light meals. Her physical condition gradually improved, and her legs and feet became much stronger. Unfortunately, it was still inevitable.
One bowl of medicinal soup every morning and evening.
It was a health-preserving prescription specially prescribed for her by Zhang, the famous doctor in the county. It replenished blood and vitality. For the sake of her health, she had to drink it no matter how hard it was.
After staying in Linxian for ten days, Uncle Huber returned to the Qin family in disappointment. He was sent to persuade Wu Shaoying to return home, but Wu Shaoying didn't know what she was doing and declined repeatedly. Uncle Huber wanted to tie him away forcibly.
Unexpectedly, the news leaked out, and Wu Shaoying left Linxian County in advance with all his servants, and he didn't know where he was going. Uncle Hu had no choice but to come back and report to Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin had no choice but to ask someone to send a message to the students who had studied under him, asking them to pay more attention to Wu Shaoying's whereabouts and to take care of him when anything happened.
Time slowly entered the twelfth lunar month. On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Hu Yong, the son of Uncle Hu who was sent to Datong to deliver a message, suddenly came back.
