After Qin Mian left the Liang family, he came to the village entrance to meet Aunt Li. "Aunt Li has been waiting for a long time."

Aunt Li greeted her with a smile: "It didn't take long. How is your second brother doing there?"

"It's pretty good. My second brother is very smart and knows everything."

Aunt Li was cheerful: "My kind family is good at everything except studying."

Qin Mian echoed a few words against his will and went to the canteen to buy the only two packages of chicken cakes on the shelf.

Aunt Li smiled and rolled her eyes, she was so generous.

The first thing I got was two packages of chicken cakes.

It's a pity that Rong Caifang is all cheap now.

Qin Mian handed the chicken cake to Aunt Li: "Take it, Auntie. It's not good to go back to your parents' house empty-handed."

Aunt Li was so happy that she said, "What did you bring to Luoluo's house this time?"

Qin Mian: "I didn't buy anything."

I can't carry too many things with my luggage.

Buying too little shows that you don't pay attention to it, and you simply leave it empty-handed.

Fortunately, my father-in-law and mother-in-law did not blame me.

Aunt Li thought to herself that she didn't buy anything for her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but bought it for me, which shows that he values ​​me very much. He must also be interested in my orchids. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so partial.

"It's useless if you buy them. One of them is an alcoholic and the other is a gambler. They took away all the valuable things in the house and sold them. No matter how good the gift is, they will take it away and exchange it for money to drink or gamble."

Qin Mian declined to comment.

I didn’t believe Aunt Li at first.

Secondly, it is disrespectful to criticize elders.

Even if he wanted to extract useful information from Aunt Li, he would not talk to his elders to please her.

He changed the subject: "What do you usually do at home?"

Aunt Li: "I do everything. Wash, tidy up. I'm not like Luoluo's mother, who plays mahjong whenever I have free time."

Qin Mian's eyes twitched. You wash and tidy up all day long, and your home is not as tidy as your mother-in-law's.

The two of them chatted and arrived at Aunt Li's village.

Qin Mian learned from the big stone pier at the entrance of the village that the village was called Liujiacun.

"Qiongxian is back, oh, who is the young man with him? He looks so handsome."

Aunt Li smiled with crinkles in her eyes: "A relative."

Qin Mian's eyes moved slightly.

Aunt Li's thoughts are all written on her face and exposed in her mouth.

She knew clearly that he was her brother-in-law's son-in-law, but she didn't introduce him to anyone.

Save it to tell everyone when he marries Li Lanhua?

His thoughts gathered together: "Hello, aunt."

"You speak Mandarin, you're from the city? Who are your relatives?"

Aunt Li raised her chest and said proudly: "You are from the city, what kind of relatives are you? My family has many relatives. I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."

A section of the way behind.

I met two more people from the village.

From everyone's conversations, Qin Mian roughly understood the population of Aunt Li's family.

My parents are still alive, and I have a brother and a sister-in-law.

The nephews are already married and have children.

The two of them walked along the road and turned left at the four-way intersection. The first house was Aunt Li's house.

The same adobe house as other villagers, but slightly larger.

There were many people standing at the door.

"Qiongxian, who is the young man you brought? Who did you go on a blind date with?"

"You need a blind date if you look like this?" Aunt Li took the initiative to tell everyone: "His surname is Qin, he is from the city's criminal investigation team, and he is the director."

"Oh, you're so awesome. You're actually a director at such a young age, and you'll become a director in the future. What's your name?"

Aunt Li didn't say her name, but called her grandnephews to eat the cakes she brought.

Children ran out of the house.

The neighbors wanted to ask about Qin Mian but they couldn't get in the conversation.

After Aunt Li distributed a bag of pastries, she couldn't wait to call Qin Mian into the room: "This is your uncle and aunt."

Qin Mian: "It's against the rules to call them that." He called them uncle and aunt and said hello to them.

"Hey, hello." Sister-in-law Liu responded with a smile, and then pulled Aunt Li outside to ask questions.

Aunt Li: "Ah Mian, please help yourself first."

"You're busy." As soon as Qin Mian and others left, he looked to the left.

There were many people crowded in the room.

She should be seeing Aunt Li and her father for medical treatment.

He took two steps forward.

An old man with gray hair came into view. He was sitting in front of a large desk with a stern face.

The house was filled with the scent of pesticides and a faint fishy smell.

It smells like freshly opened wounds and bleeding blood.

He sniffed it gently.

Determine the approximate location.

Step inside.

Found a black jar on the shelf.

Get a little closer.

A rather strong fishy smell hit my nostrils.

He remembered Li Luo saying that when he sweats, his pores discharge a layer of oily black stuff, which is fishy and smelly.

It can’t be this, right?

He glanced sideways at the old man with his peripheral vision.

The old man was only talking to the patient, so he probably didn't notice his presence. He took advantage of his body size to block everyone's sight that might be directed at him, quietly opened the jar, and used the sampling bag he carried with him to take out the contents.

Red and sticky.

Even though he was used to seeing weird things, he still couldn't distinguish what he was seeing.

Put the samples away and put your eyes on the shelf.

Bottles and jars exude the smell of herbs.

He sampled them all.

Just as he put the sample into his pocket, a voice came:

"Where did I go? You can't enter this house casually." Aunt Li Liu Qiongxian reminded.

Qin Mian calmly turned around and walked towards the door.

Uncle Liu, who had been busy, raised his eyelids. When Qin Mian came in, he found someone entering the room. He thought he was queuing up to see a doctor. He said: "Qiongxian, who is this?"

Liu Qiongxian approached Mr. Liu and whispered: "Your future grandson-in-law is a college student."

Mr. Liu was surprised.

Lan Hua wants to break off the engagement, is she attracted to this young man?

"You go ahead and I'll entertain him." Liu Qiongxian said.

Qin Mian walked out of the room: "How long does Grandpa Liu stay busy every day?"

"Just for a moment." Liu Qiongxian brought tea.

After Qin Mian thanked him, he took it and put it on the table.

Sister-in-law Liu asked Qin Mian about his family situation.

Qin Mian answered truthfully.
