Chapter 678
In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest season has arrived, and the weather has become cooler. The twins who like to run outside are completely wild, following the older children in the village, running around everywhere, which makes Mingyue and several others tired to the point where their backs are sore and their legs are weak every day. I don’t know where they got so many
energy.
The big jujubes in the Zaoyuan Garden are ripening one after another. Qinshan Qinchuan is busy harvesting the crops in the field and has no time to find someone to plant the jujubes. Qin Xiaoxiao and Jingheng called people from Bieyuan to help them plant the jujubes and sell them at the same time.
After working hard for less than half a month, all the jujubes were sold out.
On the second night after all the jujubes were sold out, a strong wind suddenly blew up, blowing most of the jujubes from those households in the village who had not had time to plant jujubes overnight, leaving only a few pitifully hanging on the treetops.
Fortunately, there was no heavy rain, otherwise the jujubes that fell on the ground would not only rot easily but also taste much worse when washed away by the rain. Despite this, the appearance of the jujubes was still not very good, and in the end they were sold to the city
I couldn't sell it at a good price, and I lost at least 30% of my money.
Seeing this scene, Xueya was a little worried about the jujube garden in Xingyue Lake: "I wonder if there is a strong wind over there and whether the jujubes have been recovered in time."
Qin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "The two places are so close, the wind should be blowing over Xingyue Lake. We have to make the fresh dates into dried dates and sell them. It doesn't matter whether the fresh dates look good or not.
As long as the sweetness of the dried dates does not change, it will be fine.”
Xueya felt that it made sense, and immediately felt relieved, and then asked: "You have been here for almost a month, when do you plan to return to Beijing?"
Qin Xiaoxiao said: "As soon as Sanbao's happy event is over, Brother Li and I will take the children back."
This was agreed upon before coming here. After staying here for so long, it would be inappropriate not to go back. They can't live freely outside and let their mother-in-law take care of everything in and outside the house for them at this age.
At this time, Jing Heng came back with the twins and handed the small bamboo basket in his hand to Qin Xiaoxiao: "It has been washed and it doesn't smell sour."
Qin Xiaoxiao took a look and found that there were several bunches of juicy wild grapes inside. He was surprised and said: "Did you go to the mountain to pick them yourself?"
Jing Heng glanced at Xue Ya, coughed lightly and said, "I took them to the mountains just now and found a wild grape tree. They were clamoring to eat it, so I picked some more."
Qin Xiaoxiao pretended not to notice his unnaturalness, picked up a wild grape and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I was thinking about the wild grapes on the mountain last night, and you picked them back today."
Jing Heng had not yet spoken, but silently pouted and complained: "Mom, the little grapes are delicious, but dad won't let me and my brother eat them."
"That's nonsense. When will I stop letting you eat it?" Jing Heng scolded, "If you eat too much of these wild grapes, your teeth will become sore and you won't even be able to bite rice."
Nao Nao interjected: "Dad is biased and leaves the big grapes for mom to eat, while my brother and I eat the small grapes."
"It's just that dad is partial and lied to my brother and me that the younger ones are sweeter." Momo forgot his accusation in a blink of an eye and followed his younger brother in making a fuss: "Obviously the older ones are more delicious than the younger ones. My father is really bad. Even the little ones are more delicious."
It’s all a lie, huh!”
After saying that, his little eyes fell on the small bamboo basket. Among the bunches of small grapes, the smallest ones at the bottom were indeed gone, leaving only a few large ones crowded together at the top.
In front of outsiders, Jingheng, who was being squeezed by his two sons at the same time, couldn't bear to lose face. He picked up their back collars with one hand and walked to the backyard: "You got sweaty from playing in the mountains, go and wash off."
Silently kicking his feet: "Don't wash, I don't wash, I don't sweat!"
Nao Nao feels that he is not dirty and does not want to take a bath in broad daylight: "You can wash it yourself if you want, I don't want to!"
Jing Heng paid no attention to their resistance and ran to the backyard in three steps and two steps without saying a single unnecessary word.
Looking at the noisy backs of the three masters, Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, picked up a wild grape and put it into her mouth. She pressed the tip of her tongue slightly, and the sweet and sour taste spread over her taste buds, giving her an appetite.
open.
She pushed the small bamboo basket towards Xue Ya: "Don't you have a bad appetite these days? It might be better to eat some of this."
Xueya picked up one and suddenly laughed and said: "I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would use these gadgets to make you happy. I'm afraid no one would dare to believe it."
Qin Xiaoxiao said curiously: "Why don't you believe it? We are no different from other young couples."
Xue Ya sighed: "It's different..."
A man who can remember his wife's casual words and also take action to achieve it can only be said that he puts his wife completely in his heart. How many women can't envy this?
Qin Xiaoxiao rarely saw her like this, and couldn't help but feel strange: "Sister Xueya, are you worried?"
Xueya came back to her senses and glanced sideways at her: "The man is capable, the daughter is smart, and I still have money to spare, what can I worry about!"
Qin Xiaoxiao still felt that something was not right, but seeing that she was unwilling to talk more, he had to say: "It's okay, it's okay. The most important thing is that you are pregnant with the child and feel comfortable."
Xueya touched her belly and rolled her eyes: "You have already given birth to one child, so you don't need to tell me."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and thought of another thing: "By the way, I heard before that your brother-in-law is going to take the college exam this year. He should have finished the exam by this time, right?"
Xueya's expression became cold: "I haven't come back yet, so I don't know if the exam is over."
Qin Xiaoxiao saw this and said hesitantly: "Sister Xueya, is Anyou disrespectful to you, my eldest sister-in-law?"
Xue Ya shook her head: "That's not true. I just feel that this kid has a lot of evil intentions and is becoming more and more like a smiling tiger. Maybe it's the so-called aura disharmony."
She really had nothing to criticize about this polite, diligent and progressive brother-in-law, but it also made her have no desire to get close to him. She even felt vaguely irritated when she saw him, so she didn't want him hanging around in front of her.
Qin Xiaoxiao rarely saw Anyou, and her impression of him still remained a few years ago, when he begged her to write a letter of recommendation. When Xueya said this, she frowned unconsciously: "Did he plot against you?
"
Xue Ya sneered: "If he dares to plot against me, with my temper, can I hold back and not let it out?"
Qin Xiaoxiao teased: "Isn't it true? You have such a bad temper, I get scared when I see you."
Xue Ya said contemptuously: "I'm a timid person, so don't say I have a bad temper. Although I didn't like you when I was a child, I didn't bully you secretly. I really don't know what you are jealous of."
Qin Xiaoxiao said with an exaggerated expression: "I can't help it. You are three years older than me and you have always had a bad attitude towards me. How can I not be embarrassed? Every time I see you giving me a bad attitude, I have to reflect on whether I owe you money."
Already."
Xueya rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention.
Qin Xiaoxiao recalled her childhood and laughed to herself for a while before returning to the topic: "Listening to what you said, it seems rash to recommend him to Nanshan Academy."
Xue Ya said speechlessly: "What does this have to do with anything? Even if he becomes successful in the future, he won't come to plot against my family."
Qin Xiaoxiao thought thoughtfully: "Scheming is out of the question. You don't like him. Maybe he has noticed it and is afraid that once he gains power, he will deliberately do something disgusting to you."
Xue Ya didn't care: "I don't live under the same roof with him. If you dare to disgust me, I have my own way to deal with him."
Qin Xiaoxiao believed that with her temperament, she would not let herself suffer, but she felt unhappy and felt regretful that she should not have recommended him to Nanshan Academy.
The Qin family has been busy for more than half a month. All the crops have been collected smoothly. What should be sold is sold and what should be put into storage. When the family is celebrating the harvest, Li Yingran rushes back to Qingshan Village with congratulatory gifts.
"Third Aunt!" Qin Xiaoxiao was playing with her twins at the door. She was the first to spot Li Yingran. She excitedly dropped the takraw ball in her hand and rushed towards her.
"Smile!" Li Yingran, who was tired of life, was also very excited. She couldn't help hugging the niece she had watched grow up, and her eyes gradually turned red: "I haven't seen you for several years, and you girl hasn't changed at all."
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes were also red: "Third Aunt has not changed, she looks even more beautiful!" As she said that, she kept looking at the carriage: "Where are Shu Yan and Yaoyao, haven't they come back?"
"This mouth is still so sweet." Li Yingran smiled until a few faint lines appeared in the corners of her eyes, which made her a little softer: "The journey is long, and I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the long journey, so I didn't bring them back this time.
"
While she was talking, she spotted the twins who were looking at her curiously not far away. Seeing that their facial features were exactly the same as those of her niece, she said in surprise: "Are these Momo and Nao Nao?"
When Dabao got married, she caught a cold on the way and couldn't come back; when Erbao got married, Xueyao unfortunately got smallpox, and she couldn't leave. She didn't come back for three or four years, and she found out about Qin Xiaoxiao in a letter home.
I gave birth to twins, but it was the first time I saw them.
"Well, that's them." Qin Xiaoxiao said, waving to the twins: "Come here and meet Third Grandma. The jerky and meat cakes you like to eat are the ones that Third Grandma bought for you."
The twins were no strangers to the title Third Grandma. After knowing who the lady they had never seen before was Momo Mo, they were the first to rush over and sweetly shouted: "Hello, Third Grandma, my name is Mo Mo, and I am the one who is noisy."
elder brother!"
Li Yingran looked at his endearing appearance and bent down to hug him: "Good boy, let Third Grandma give you a good hug!"
He walked over quietly and unhurriedly, his attitude much colder than his brother's: "Third grandma is good."
Li Yingran had already learned about his temperament from letters from home, and was not surprised by his relatively cold attitude. She wanted to hug him with one hand, but she was unable to do so, so she had to touch his little head: "Okay.
"Third grandma brought gifts to you and your brother, so let's move them down."
As soon as he heard about the gift, Nao Nao's expression finally changed: "Thank you, Grandma Three."
Nao Nao happily clapped her little paws: "Grandma three is so kind, she is the best grandma I have ever seen!"
