Qin Xiaoxiao went with Qinshan Lin Qiuniang to the Lin family to pay New Year greetings. The four Dabao brothers also followed Qinchuan Zhao Caoer to the Zhao family. The only three people left in the Qin family, Mr. Qin, Mrs. Miao and Qin He, entertained Qin Taohua who returned to her parents' home.

The family and Qin Guihua’s family.

Qingshan Village mostly has marriage relationships with more than a dozen surrounding villages. As soon as they go out, they meet people who are traveling the same way. Qin Xiaoxiao, who was hugged by Qinshan, was praised by others for her lovable appearance and sweet mouth.

, which made the little girl very happy.

After walking for more than an hour, the family of three arrived at Huxi Village.

Huxi Village is about the same size as Qingshan Village. There are fifty or sixty households in the whole village. The Lin family lives in the middle of the village. Walking down a winding alley, you can see an adobe house with two larger rooms than the Qin family.

House, a family of nearly twenty people lives here.

Lin Qiuniang has two older brothers and one younger brother. All three brothers are married and have children.

The eldest son of the eldest son also got married the year before last. He just got a daughter last spring, and she is not yet one year old. Below are two daughters, one is old enough to talk about marriage and they are looking at each other, and the other is only ten years old and still at the age of playing around.

The eldest son of the second wife is also 18. He made an appointment with a girl last year. If nothing else, there should be a wedding this year, but I don’t know when. He also has a son and a daughter, and it’s still early to get married.

The third bedroom has a daughter and a son, who are still at the age of following adults asking for sweets. They are the two youngest children in the third generation of the Lin family.

At this time, there was a thin old man with gray hair standing at the entrance of the alley, standing on tiptoes in anticipation. This old man was Lin Qiuniang's biological mother, Mrs. Zhou.

The family of three turned the corner and saw Mrs. Zhou. A heartfelt smile appeared on Lin Qiuniang's face and she shouted: "Mother——"

Old Mrs. Zhou was nearly sixty years old, and her eyes were not as good as those of young people. When she heard Lin Qiuniang's cry, she was sure that it was her daughter. She was so happy that she hurriedly greeted her: "Finally here, finally here. Mother, it's so early in the morning."

Looking forward to you!"

The family of three quickened their pace and soon arrived in front of Mrs. Zhou. Qin Shan put his daughter on the ground and called "Mother-in-law", then patted the back of her head to signal her to hurry up and call someone.

"Grandma~" Qin Xiaoxiao threw herself on Mrs. Zhou's lap, raised her little face and said sweetly: "I miss my grandma!"

Qingshan Village is too far away from Huxi Village. On weekdays, Lin Qiuniang is busy with family affairs and rarely returns to her parents' home. Sometimes it is inconvenient to take Qin Xiaoxiao with her when she comes back. Therefore, the last time Qin Xiaoxiao saw Mrs. Zhou was on the third day of the first lunar month last year.

.

A year has passed, and her impression of Mrs. Zhou is only a vague one. But when she sees the kindness on Mrs. Zhou's face that is exactly the same as Mrs. Miao's, the sense of strangeness and alienation she has not seen for a year magically disappears.

, allowing her to act coquettishly with Mrs. Zhou without any burden.

"Ouch, grandma's little sweetie~" Mrs. Zhou looked at her well-behaved and lovable granddaughter, and immediately put her daughter aside and bent down to pick up the little girl.

"Mom, don't be tired, let this girl go on her own!" Lin Qiuniang was afraid that my mother would step aside, so she quickly threw the gift to Qin Shan and picked up her daughter.

"Let's go, I'm not old enough to even hold a baby." Mrs. Zhou avoided her daughter's hand and glared at her. She hugged Qin Xiaoxiao and walked quickly. Her legs and feet were so nimble that she didn't look like Wu Liu.

A ten-year-old man.

Looking at the old man and the young man chatting happily in front of them, Lin Qiuniang looked helplessly at her husband and followed him quickly.

Today, the second and third bedrooms of the Lin family and the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Lin family also went out with their children to pay New Year greetings. Only the old couple, the eldest son and his two daughters are left at home. The eldest son of Lin is called Lin Chunsheng, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed away in the past few years.

There is no need to go to pay New Year greetings, just wait until the fourth or fifth day of the Lunar New Year to visit my brother-in-law's house.

At this moment, Old Man Lin and others were basking in the sun under the corner. When they were talking about when the three members of the Qin family would arrive, they saw Old Mrs. Zhou coming back with Qin Xiaoxiao in her arms, followed by Qinshan and Lin Qiuniang, who all hurriedly got up to greet them.

Come up.

Under the reminder of Mrs. Zhou, Qin Xiaoxiao called people with a sweet smile, and did not forget to use various flattering methods, just to dig out the New Year's money from the pockets of the elders.

Old Man Lin and others did not disappoint her. After coaxing her to say auspicious words, they stuffed the New Year's money they had prepared in advance into her little cloth pocket one by one. The little girl was so happy that she couldn't help but flatter her.

It's even more fun.

"This girl is getting smarter and smarter!" Old man Lin picked up his granddaughter and put it on his lap, and said to his daughter and son-in-law: "You parents are good parents and you teach your children well."

Qin Shan felt proud and said humbly: "Father-in-law, don't be deceived by this girl. She is usually very tough at home, and she can talk a lot. Qiuniang and I can hardly control her."

Mrs. Zhou was unhappy. She touched her granddaughter's little head and asked, "Are your father and mother mean to you at home?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was an honest and good child. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Hey, my dad was so loud and so harsh on me, it made me cry; my mother spanked her but she didn't cry!"

When Lin Qiuniang of Qinshan asked her mother-in-law about her daughter, she had an ominous premonition in her heart. Seeing that her daughter had really cheated on her father (mother), she couldn't help but cover their faces, not daring to look at her mother-in-law's face.

"Xiaoxiao is still a child. If you have something to say, you can't talk about it properly. If you insist on making the child cry violently, why do you think we are parents?" Mrs. Zhou had a dark face and raised her hand as if to hit someone: "Let me do that again.

I heard you laughing fiercely, let’s see how I deal with you!”

Qin Xiaoxiao mistakenly thought that her grandma was going to attack her parents, so she quickly got off her grandpa, hugged her thighs and said good things: "Grandma, it was my disobedience that made my parents so cruel. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Mrs. Zhou hugged her granddaughter tightly and loved her so much. She turned back and glared at her daughter and son-in-law and continued to preach: "Look, where can you find such a good child, and you are still willing to hurt her?"

Qinshan Lin Qiuniang responded repeatedly, and she couldn't help but feel happy: Fortunately, the old and the young didn't see each other a few times throughout the year. Otherwise, with the support of the mother-in-law (I), how could the young one be able to control him!

Old man Lin and others watched happily, falling in love with Qin Xiaoxiao, his granddaughter (niece) even more.

It is said that three years old is considered old, and seven years old is considered old. In the future, the daughter and son-in-law (sister and brother-in-law) will depend on this child when they get old. If it is a bad person, it is better to make plans early. Now she knows how to protect her father at a young age.

Mom, it can be seen that your nature is good. As long as you are well educated, you may not be worse than your biological child.

The adults were talking and joking around Qin Xiaoxiao, but Lin Dalian, the eldest daughter of the house, was attracted by Qin Xiaoxiao's clothes. After hesitating for a while, she asked Lin Qiuniang in a low voice: "Auntie, did you make Xiaoxiao's clothes?"

Lin Qiuniang shook her head and said with a smile: "These clothes were given as a gift. It would be great if I had such skills."

Lin Dalian was a little disappointed. She wanted to ask her aunt if she could keep the clothes and let her make one according to the pattern. However, she realized that it was easy to catch a cold if she took off her clothes in this cold weather, so she gave up the idea and praised sincerely: "This is

The clothes are so beautifully made!”

Others heard the conversation between the aunt and nephew, and also focused on Qin Xiaoxiao's clothes.

Sister-in-law Lin saw that the material of this outfit was unusual, especially the lining of the small cloak was made of snow-white fur, so she asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Which of your relatives is so generous that he is even willing to give such new clothes?"

Lin Qiuniang didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and acquiesced that she had such a generous relative. She didn't dare to treat Jing Heng, who didn't know her family background, as a relative. The Qin family couldn't match his family status.

Sister-in-law Lin was not someone who liked to inquire deeply. Seeing that her sister-in-law didn't elaborate, she knew it was inconvenient to talk, so she redirected the topic to her niece's clothes.

The others didn't ask any questions and continued to tease Qin Xiao. Children of her age, when they were having fun, would often make people laugh with their unintentional words.

Mrs. Zhou only had Lin Qiuniang's daughter, so she naturally felt very sad. She finally wanted her to come back, and she had to bring her into the room to talk privately. Last year, Lin Qiuniang came back once to sell cloth, but she was in a hurry that time.

Neither of them had a chance to talk properly.

Qin Xiaoxiao saw her mother and grandmother go into the house, and subconsciously wanted to stick to them, but Qin Shan pulled her over and held her on his lap to sit down, preventing her from causing trouble.

Mrs. Zhou held her daughter's hand and sat on the bed. Looking at her stretched eyebrows without a trace of sadness, she knew that her life must be comfortable. She suddenly shed tears: "Seeing that you are doing well, mother is relieved~"

In the early years, I found a good family like the Qin family for my daughter. I thought I could live a good life. Who would have thought that the couple would have a hard time having children. One of them was pregnant and the other was pregnant. After seven or eight years, they didn't end up with a son and a half. Every time I watch

When her daughter looked depressed and unhappy, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

At that time, she burned incense day and night, begging the Bodhisattva to appear and give her daughter a descendant, and also begging the Qin family not to dislike their daughter. Fortunately, the Qin family was kind and their son-in-law was also very affectionate, so they finally figured it out and took back their granddaughter.

, this became a perfect home.

Now that the daughter and son-in-law have descendants, the relationship between the couple is getting better and better, and the granddaughter is also a good child. How happy the whole family is to live together!

Lin Qiuniang's eyes were also red, and she gently wiped away Mrs. Zhou's tears: "Mom, with Xiaoxiao, I don't feel bitter anymore, and it will get better and better in the future. You don't have to worry about me anymore."

Mrs. Zhou nodded with a happy smile on her face: "If my son-in-law picked her up on the mountain, that means he is related to you. You and your son-in-law's good fortune is yet to come!"

Lin Qiuniang secretly thought that they were lucky to have a daughter like Xiaoxiao, Cheng Huan, at their knees. They would not think too much about anything else, they just wanted to raise her well.

Mrs. Zhou asked about the cloth selling business again and was very happy to learn that she had made a lot of money.

Lin Qiuniang took advantage of the situation and took out the two coins she had given to her two elders, and put them into the hands of Mrs. Zhou without refusal: "In the past few years, your son-in-law has earned some money by working in the city. You can use these to buy some delicious food."

Whenever Mrs. Zhou is willing to take it, she will return it back: "You child, how can my mother ask for your money! Your father and I are not unable to do anything, and it is not your turn as a married girl to help."

Lin Qiuniang pretended to be angry and said: "This money is filial piety money that your son-in-law is giving to you and your father to buy meat to eat. If you don't want it, just throw it away and let outsiders pick it up."

"Oh, you...Okay, okay, mother accepted it." After all, Mrs. Zhou never pinched Lin Qiuniang, so she had to accept the money. She was happy that her son-in-law could think about these two old people, and she felt more and more that her daughter was there.

My husband's family was not wronged.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou receiving the money, Lin Qiuniang became happy and asked about family affairs. When she learned that her second nephew's wedding was scheduled for the twentieth of the first lunar month, she took advantage of the New Year greetings to inform her relatives and friends, as well as her second brother.

The second sister-in-law and second nephew are happy.

But Mrs. Zhou sighed, with a melancholy look on her wrinkled face: "They say that girl is good, but I'm afraid that she will marry someone who is a troublemaker in the family. Your father privately mentioned the separation of the family a few years ago.

Let them go out to each room to live alone, so as not to be crowded together and bump into each other without peace, alas..."

Lin Qiuniang frowned: "Mom, is the Fang family still like that? Don't you care if the eldest brother and sister-in-law still have great ambitions?"

Mrs. Fang is Dafang’s daughter-in-law, and her natal family is from the next village. When Ms. Fang was just born, because the Fang family couldn’t afford to raise many children, she was sent to live with relatives who had no daughters until she was almost old enough to see her.

, was taken back by the Fang family. The year before last, through a matchmaker, she married Lin Dazhi, the eldest son of the eldest family.

Mrs. Zhou said angrily: "That Fang is just a thug who strangles your eldest nephew to death, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law can't control her. It's a good thing that she gave birth to a girl for the first time. If it was a boy,

I’m afraid they won’t even take us two old guys seriously!”

Lin Qiuniang felt very uncomfortable in her heart and comforted her: "Mom, Fang's temperament is not very gentle, and she doesn't have any bad intentions. As this family lives together, bumps and bumps are inevitable. You and dad are really annoyed, just ignore her.

."

Mrs. Zhou weakly shook her head: "It's because your eldest nephew failed to live up to his expectations. Before the engagement, he secretly took a look at Mr. Fang and fell in love with him. He wanted to marry her. Just for his marriage, we gave up half of our family fortune.

The Fang family took it away, and your second brother and sister-in-law also felt troubled because of this."

Lin Qiuniang felt more and more uncomfortable after hearing this, and finally understood why Old Man Lin said that the family was separated. Just when she wanted to comfort Old Mrs. Zhou, she suddenly heard Qin Xiaoxiao's crying coming from the yard.

She was startled and hurriedly said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, I'm afraid something has happened if you are crying like this. I'll go out and take a look first!" After that, she opened the door and ran out quickly.

Mrs. Zhou also changed her expression and ran out.

"Woo, dad, it's her, she's the big bad guy, woo~" In the yard, Qin Xiaoxiao threw herself on Qin Shan, pointed at her red neck and said, "The big bad guy snatched my clothes, it hurts so much."

pain--"

Seeing the dazzling marks on his daughter's neck, Qin Shan was instantly furious. He ignored Lin Dazhi who couldn't help apologizing, and kicked Fang's leg who was indifferent: "I can't even bear to lay a finger on my daughter, you bastard

What the hell!"
