Chapter 38: Two or three things about Lao Qis family
When Qi Kang'an arrived with a large team, old man Qi had already finished a meeting with a group of men.
Everyone did not hear the content of the meeting, but only heard Old Man Qi’s final summary:
"I'm afraid they are cowardly. We have our own hands and feet. If we go up and do it, if we don't beat him to death, we will have to bite off a piece of meat for him."
Qi Baoer raised his eyebrows, I didn't expect you to be such a little old man!!
Praying for health and well-being, there was no response.
When his father was young, he always had a bad temper and would raise his fist whenever he disagreed. There were few people in the village who had not been kicked by his father.
It was after having Bao'er that his father's temper became somewhat restrained, but it was only because he chased him around the village several times without even a single disagreement?
This is his father's normal operation.
"Finally we can see the river." Mrs. Tian also completely ignored the other side, her eyes could only see the river in front of her, and her dry and dull face finally showed a smile after so many days.
"Boss, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law three, you go get the pot. Wife-in-law, daughter-in-law two, you take the big men and two men to fetch water. Second daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law the third, you two take the younger ones to collect firewood."
After looking at the river for a few more times, Mrs. Tian began to instruct everyone to work. Cooking was impossible. Anzi said that the feeling was not obvious yet, and they were already in a state of misery.
I really saw it in person, oh, the people in Tianjiacun are really at the end of their rope, their eyes are already green, it's scary.
Fortunately, they listened to Anzi and hid all their food outside on the road, otherwise they might have been robbed.
Mrs. Tian noticed that not only Tianjiacun looked at them wrongly, but other refugees also looked at them in a group and looked at them unkindly. They just sat there and stared as if they had no scruples.
The advantage is obvious when there are more people walking around. Even if the attitude of the surrounding refugees is not right, everyone will not be too scared if they are gathered together.
You still have to take the pot off and boil water to wash it thoroughly.
It’s almost impossible to look at all the things that are being done away with. If you can’t clean it up, there’s nothing you can do about it. Now that you have the conditions, Mrs. Tian still requires her family to be neat and tidy.
Their family is all scholars, and they even have a lucky baby at home!
Li Qin called from the side: "Mom, the third brother and sister of Guo will be fine. Sister-in-law, please go fetch water with me."
Qian Lanhua was also beside her and said with a smile: "Mom, I can do the cooking alone, and my mother can also help."
Mrs. Tian thought for a while and said, "Okay, that's it. Let's get to work quickly. We don't know when we will have to leave again."
"Why."
Qi Bao'er lay on her father's back and watched her mother, second aunt, and her two brothers walking toward the river with a bucket each.
The second aunt held my mother's arm. The difference in body shape was that her mother was petite and the second aunt was strong. It looked like her mother was being dragged along by her second aunt.
She has gradually discovered that their family is not as harmonious as she imagined.
The relationship between her father and the four brothers is really good.
Her father is responsible and responsible, and thinks of his other brothers in everything.
The second uncle has a straight temper and often has no brains. He often offends her father, but he is also the one who listens to her father the most.
The third uncle is smarter, has small thoughts, but his heart is towards Lao Qi's family, and he respects her father very much.
Although the fourth uncle reads the most, he is actually the stupidest and most affectionate one among the four brothers.
The discord is between the three sisters-in-law. To be precise, the relationship between the third aunt, her mother, and the second aunt are not close.
When Qi Bao'er was bored, she thought it might be because her mother's and her second aunt's experiences were somewhat similar.
Her mother was delayed by her natal family for several years before marrying her father. In return for the dowry, Lao Qi's family took back whatever they took as betrothal gifts. Later, her natal family often came to Lao Qi's house to play in the autumn breeze.
Qi Bao'er had such a vague memory from Qi Bao'er's past. Her grandmother came to her house to borrow food from her house, wearing a trembling thin coat full of patches in winter.
The second aunt's life in her natal family was worse than that of her mother. Her mother at least asked the whole family to exchange money for her embroidery work. The second aunt came into the family as a stepmother, and her biological father became a stepfather.
The third aunt is different. She is the only daughter in the family. Not to mention being pampered and pampered by her when she was growing up, she has a five-star happiness index compared to her mother and second aunt when they were young girls.
It may also be related to the character of the third aunt. Both her mother and the second aunt are relatively straight-tempered. They say whatever they want without hiding anything. Especially her second aunt, sometimes regardless of the occasion, often
The second uncle, the stupidest among the four brothers, must be brought back.
The third aunt is different, she keeps everything in her heart.
For example, if she feels tired and thirsty along the way, feels uncomfortable and feels hopeless about the future, her mother and second aunt will show it. Sometimes they will talk to each other, and sometimes they will chat with her. The third aunt will not say anything, and she will suffer.
Her face looked as if the sky was falling and she had to be the first to lift it up.
Qi Bao'er saw Qian's mother pulling Third Aunt aside several times to talk, and seeing how hard Qian's mother poked Third Aunt with her finger, she must be re-educating her.
"Bao'er, Bao'er?" Qi Kang'an shook his hands.
"ah?"
"What are you thinking about? Dad has called you several times."
My daughter's problem needs to be cured. It's okay to be in a daze at home. If she loses herself halfway, where can he find another girl like her?
"Is something wrong?"
Oh, he has such a bad temper. Listen to this, why is he so owed?
"Your nephews, nieces, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are asking you if you want to go pick wild vegetables together?"
Qi Baoer: "..." This damn generation.
Not far from the two of them, there was a group of children surrounding them, ranging from eleven to twelve years old, down to a kid with a runny nose and wearing open pants.
A group of children did not dare to get too close. The family had told them not to make Aunt Bao/Aunt Bao/Aunt Bao angry.
Aunt Bao/Aunt Bao/Aunt Bao didn't like people getting too close to her, so she watched them eagerly from a few meters away from the father and daughter.
Qi Bao'er himself is to blame for causing this scene.
Time goes back to two days ago.
After Old Man Qi suggested that everyone pick wild vegetables, Qi Wen's grandson, Qi Liangyu, was suddenly not in good condition and developed a high fever. Old Man Qi quickly called Doctor Gao to save people, and for a while he could no longer keep an eye on Qi Bao'er.
This kid was so confident that he didn't have to worry about anything. Instead of following the others to pick wild vegetables, he wandered around.
Then Qi Baoer saw an old lady with droopy eyes beating a little girl who must have been four or five years old.
The reason why it should be said is that Qi Bao'er judged it based on her height. She is as tall as she is. She is five years old and the little girl is also five years old. There is nothing wrong with her.
But if you look at the figure of a little girl that looks like a skeleton holding up clothes, Qibaoer, don’t pay attention to these details.
Everyone was so tired, hungry, and thirsty that talking felt like a waste of energy. The droopy-eyed grandma was so awesome, she used a branch to slap the little girl and danced so hard that the whistling of the wind could be heard in the air.
Qi Bao'er didn't know why, but she felt a little stuck in her heart when she saw it.
She has always suspected that she suffered from affective disorder in her previous life. She felt nothing like the emotions and sorrows that were normal to others.
When she was very young, when Chief No. 1 passed away, they all had to see him off. Others were sad and missing him, but she stood there with a blank face, like a fool.
After she came back, her teacher specifically talked to her, but to no avail, he stared at her in despair and yelled: Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to be a normal person for me.
