Chapter 6 Three Brothers
Qin Zichang came home and saw two little babies in the yard.
The little doll has thin skin and tender flesh, just like a porcelain doll. At first glance, it is not an ordinary person.
He put his hands behind his back and craned his neck to wait for a reply.
Soon Qin Zhiyi and others came out of the kitchen.
Seeing his scumbag father, the resentment in Qin Zhiyi's heart emanated from the bottom of his heart.
She can also understand the resentment of the original owner, but now that she is living under someone else's roof, she must welcome him with a smile.
After all, whether you can settle down in the village in the future, Zha Daddy will also play a big role.
So she shouted to Qin Zichang: "Dad, it's me, I'm back."
After saying this, he took out the jar of daughter's red tea that he had bought before and stuffed it into his arms: "Dad, my daughter bought this specially to honor you. I know you like this."
Qin Zichang only felt that this daughter was a little different, but then he thought, it had been more than four years since he married his daughter, so it was normal for her personality to be different.
But with a jar of daughter's red in his hand, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Come back as soon as you come back. What else are you buying wine for? What are you spending the money on?"
Having said that, he opened the bottle and went up to smell it.
"A good wine is a good wine, fragrant."
Seeing that Qin Zichang was laughing so hard, Qin Zhiyi felt relieved.
The original owner's father was a money-minded person, so as long as he was given a benefit, it would not be difficult for him to go to the village chief and say something nice.
Coupled with the three older brothers, it is estimated that this thing will be possible.
Just when Qin Zichang wanted to hold the wine jar and take a sip directly, Qin Zhiyi took the wine jar directly from his hand, smiled at him and said: "Dad, we are cooking, please drink enough while you are eating."
Now that he was drunk, he couldn't talk about serious matters.
Qin Zichang stared at the wine and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
Several people entered the kitchen again, saying they were cooking, but in fact there was nothing good.
What's steaming in the pot are cornmeal buns. It's said to be a stir-fry, but it basically doesn't even have much oil.
If you have a piece of pork skin at home, rub it on the bottom of the pot twice, use a shovel to scoop out some lard, then add the cut winter melon and add water to boil.
Because she came with her two children, the sister-in-law also added previously dried mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots to enrich the dishes.
Poor is really poor!
Qin Zhiyi knew that in this era, it was not like in the TV series, with big fish, big meat and white flour steamed buns, but in fact there were very few edible dishes.
In the memory of the original owner, leeks, garlic, ginger, gourd, cucumber, eggplant, cress, lotus root, and taro are the most important cuisines, and winter melon is already rare.
As for wild vegetables, they mainly include bamboo shoots, bracken, water shield and various edible mushrooms.
It’s pretty good to have these kinds of entertainment at home.
Seeing this, my sister-in-law Xu Laidi said awkwardly: "Your eldest brother shot a rabbit a while ago and went to the town to exchange for rice. It's hard to hunt in the winter, and we don't have any meat at home. You can make do with it first, and we'll give it to you tomorrow."
Your elder brother goes up to the mountain to fight."
Of course she knew that her mother's family was having a hard time, and in this era, it was generally a hard time.
Although they are diligent, ordinary people have to pay taxes in addition to growing crops.
When planting crops at this time, there is no mixed fertilizer, no artificial rainfall, and the seeds are not improved by later generations. They have weak disease resistance and low yields. You have to depend on God's mood.
If there is another natural or man-made disaster, it will be even more difficult.
She didn't say much, just said: "It's okay, we are all family members, so please be so polite."
The pot of vegetables is cooked like this. When it is almost cooked, sprinkle some salt into it, and the pot of soup is ready.
The second sister-in-law took out two eggs from her house and said she wanted to give them to Dabao and Erni. Qin Zhiyi tried her best to stop them, but finally she just beat the two eggs into frangipani and poured them into the soup, asking everyone to eat them together.
eat.
Qin Zhiyi knew that in the future, his living standard would definitely not be as good as that of Zai Yuanwai's family, at least not in a short period of time.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. What she is most worried about now is that the two little guys can't get used to it.
Fortunately, when the food was brought out, the two little guys didn't say anything. During this period, she saw Erni holding the bowl and looking at her brother in abjection, but she still ate it obediently.
At the dinner table, Qin Zi would often drink wine and immediately look like he was enjoying it.
Several people took the opportunity to take turns telling Qin Zhiyi's story.
Qin Zichang almost jumped up when he heard that the old man had died and he only gave his daughter twenty taels of silver.
"What? Just throw away twenty taels of silver? That's not possible. After all, you gave birth to a son and a daughter outside the old home, and the Li family must have a share of them. You want to throw away twenty taels of silver, and treat it like a beggar?"
Qin Daniu immediately became displeased: "Dad, you have the nerve to say that you only exchanged seven taels of silver for me if you didn't give me back, but now it's good to have me back."
Qin Zichang's face turned red: "There's nothing I can do."
After saying that, he turned to Qin Zhiyi and said: "Daughter, let me tell you, you listen to dad, this matter can't be let go like this, you have to go back in the future, you gave birth to his Li family's seed, if nothing else,
Those shops in their town should give you one or two, right? That’s it, I’ll ask them for it later!”
God knows who has the seed in her belly. If she doesn't speak clearly today, this unscrupulous father will still worry about her.
So she put her chopsticks on the table, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, could you please take the children out for a while? I have something to tell dad."
When the sister-in-law saw Qin Zhiyi's sudden change in expression and tone of voice, she didn't ask any further questions. She immediately responded and left the house with a few children.
After the children left, Qin Zhiyi said, "Dad, don't worry about this. These two children are not from the Li family."
"What are you talking about? These two children..."
Qin Zichang felt that his face had been completely humiliated, but before he could get angry, Qin Zhiyi had already wiped away tears.
She cried and cursed at the same time, claiming that Mr. Li's sons were not human beings and had found someone to taint her, so that Mr. Li would be kicked out if something happened when he went out. So now she doesn't even know who the father of the children is.
Qin Erniu had a bad temper. When he heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said: "These beasts dare to do this to my sister, I will kill them right away!"
After that, I went to get the kitchen knife.
When the youngest Qin saw the second son's bad temper, he quickly called his sister-in-law to hold him back: "You are the only one who can kill me. Do you really think you can kill me? I'm afraid you let me kill you without anyone seeing you. Let me tell you,
Dad, don’t think about Ayi returning to the Li family anymore. Just treat it like a dream. It’s fine for my sister to stay here with her two children.”
Qin Erniu said: "Then let's just forget about my sister?"
The matter certainly cannot be settled like this.
When Yuan Wai Li was alive, the original owner was bullied. Even after Yuan Wai Li died, they did not want to let her go.
You Qi even compromised and left, but the Li family even cared about her twenty taels of silver and asked the servant to follow her to seek wealth and death.
She must calculate this account, and she must calculate it clearly.
The youngest Qin also spoke.
He is the only one in his family who has studied a lot, and he is still working as a teacher in the village, so he speaks in a formal manner: "The most important thing now is to find a place for the three Ayi mothers. As for the Li family's affairs,
...The people should not fight with the officials, and the poor should not fight with the rich. Second brother, this matter is not as simple as you think."
