Mr. Qin was the first to react and asked in a deep voice: "Xiaoxiao, is everything you said true?"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so she told her what she knew: "Sister Xiuxiu doesn't like snacks. On her birthday, my father gave me a bag of glutinous rice cakes. I gave her a few pieces and she carried them on her back.

I threw it to Dahuang to eat. I asked cousin Xiuxiu, and cousin Xiuxiu said she didn’t like snacks. Later, I wouldn’t give them to her when I had snacks.”

After listening to Qin Xiaoxiao's words, Mr. Qin's face turned dark.

Yesterday, Zhao Xiuxiu stepped on the bowl and twisted her foot. Mr. Qin asked her why she stepped on the bowl. She also accused Qin Xiaoxiao of not treating her as a sister. She was given snacks to everyone in the family but left out her.

At that time, Mr. Qin thought that Xiaoxiao was young and that he didn't want to see Zhao Xiuxiu and didn't know how to hide it. He showed it directly in the snacks. He never expected that this would be the reason.

Now hearing Qin Xiaoxiao's explanation, Mr. Qin felt deeply deceived.

"If you don't like the food, don't take it. It would be a pity to throw it away." Dabao didn't have a good impression of Zhao Xiuxiu at first. When he heard that she acted like this, he felt sorry for the snacks that she had thrown away.

Erbao nodded while munching on the glutinous rice cake: "That's right, it would be great to keep it for us to eat."

Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang, who had doubts about Zhao Xiuxiu's sincere repentance, were also very angry and regretted yesterday's momentary softness. However, they saw that Mr. Qin's face was ugly, so they did not say anything.

Mr. Qin did not ask Zhao Xiuxiu why he threw away the snacks Qin Xiaoxiao gave him. He also said that Qin Xiaoxiao did not see her as a cousin in his eyes. Zuo just hated Qin Xiaoxiao in his heart and did not accept any of her intentions.

This incident did not allow Mr. Qin to judge whether Zhao Xiuxiu truly repented, but his impression of Zhao Xiuxiu was a little different.

Zhao Xiuxiu was asleep at this moment and didn't know what happened in the main room. After she woke up, Xue Ya told her hesitantly, feeling in her heart that she had done something unreasonable.

Zhao Xiuxiu naturally thought of the consequences and regretted that she was not careful enough when throwing the cakes. Qin Xiaoxiao saw it and did not say anything. After she was found guilty of accusing Qin Xiaoxiao, she was exposed, which made it possible for her to continue to stay in the Qin family a month later.

Sexuality has declined again.

After Qin He returned home, Mr. Qin's focus was on another thing and he had no time to care about what she thought. After dinner in the evening, Mr. Qin called Qin He outside for a walk and told him

own thoughts.

"Dad, what do you mean, you want Xiaoxiao to learn how to read and write?" Qin He looked at his father in surprise and didn't understand why he had such an idea.

Mr. Qin did not hide his considerations and said: "Xiaoxiao, this child is different from other children. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law and I will inevitably have to restrain our hands when teaching her. Send her to school to learn literature and science. She will be better than us messing around with her."

Qin He became more and more confused as he listened, but he thought it was a good thing to have a literate girl at home, so he actively told what he saw and heard in the city: "The teachings of children from scholarly families, if it is not convenient for women to study outside, they will

Set up a private school at home and ask the master to teach every day. Because women do not need to take scientific examinations, what they know and learn is completely different from men."

Of course, knowledge is the same, as long as the daughter can read and write, her daughter's family can also read all books. Many women in this world are as talented and knowledgeable as men who have been carefully taught, but they are limited by their gender and cannot show up in the world and be praised by the world.

"Must I invite a master? Is there any other way?" Mr. Qin didn't think so much. He just wanted his granddaughter to learn literature and theory, and he didn't want her to become the number one scholar.

It's just that my family knows their own affairs, so it's obviously unrealistic to hire a doctor to come to their home to teach their little granddaughter. They can't afford beam repair.

Qin He understood the unfinished meaning of Mr. Qin's words. He wanted to say that he could teach him, but when he thought that he spent most of his time studying and spent less than three days at home every month, he really couldn't teach his little niece anything.

Then he thought about it and said, "If someone can help connect the dots and intercede with the families who have private schools in their families, we can send Xiaoxiao to study with those female relatives."

Mr. Qin felt that this method was good. He could afford to pay part of his own money to support a child, so he asked: "You have been in the county for so long, can you find anyone willing to pull strings?"

Qin He nodded. If he couldn't find him, he wouldn't have come up with this idea: "Master has a wide network of contacts and has contacts with most of the scholarly families in the city. I think it won't be a big problem if I ask you for help."

Mr. Qin knew that his youngest son was cautious. He said that the problem was not big, but it could be done. The idea that had been hanging in his mind for more than half a month finally came to his mind: "Sure, tell your master, just tell me what you need. Take advantage of this moment."

It will be ready for you in two days."

Qin He said with a smile: "Master, I don't lack anything. I just need lake fish every day."

Mr. Qin narrowed his eyes: "If you want to talk about other things, our family may be in trouble. There are a lot of them in Yuqing Lake. I will ask your elder brother to catch a few of them on the day you leave."

In the past, I didn't take the initiative to let my little granddaughter use her abilities. This time, in order for her to enter school smoothly, I had to use it.

Qin He has grown up by Qinghu Lake since he was a child and knows how difficult it is to fish in Qinghu Lake. Seeing his father talking so easily, he couldn't help joking: "Is it possible that your elder brother is already proficient in fishing skills?"

Mr. Qin smiled and said nothing, and walked back slowly.

Qin He stopped asking and followed in his father's footsteps.

Before the matter was decided, Mr. Qin did not mention the arrangements for Qin Xiaoxiao to Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang. Qin Xiaoxiao, who was playing with her parents in the room, did not know that her days of leisurely fun in the fields were numbered.

The next day was Mr. Qin's birthday, and it was also the day for the married Qin Taohua and Qin Guihua to bring their husband and children home for reunion. But Qin Guihua was not here, and only Qin Taohua's family came.

For more than two years, Qin Taohua had not given birth, and she and Zhao Dazhu still had only two children, Zhao Jinjin and Zhao Yinyin.

Compared with two years ago, Qin Taohua's appearance has not changed much. Zhao Dazhu seems to have gained weight, and his whole person looks much richer.

The one who has changed the most is Zhao Yinyin. Two years ago, she was still a dirty girl with yellow hair. This time, she is still wearing a set of very old clothes, but there is no trace of dirt on her face. Her face is also clean.

It is very dark, and the teeth look particularly white when you smile slightly.

The children of farmers' families are like this after summer, as black as charcoal. They are raised in winter and then come back. There are only a few people like Qin Xiaoxiao who cannot tan.

"Oh, our Xiaoxiao looks beautiful again!" As soon as Qin Taohua came in and greeted her parents, brothers and sisters, she hugged Qin Xiaoxiao enthusiastically and pouted as she was about to kiss her on the cheek.

Looking at her attitude, I thought she really liked Qin Xiaoxiao as my niece.

"Auntie, I didn't wash my face!" Qin Xiaoxiao hid her head back, avoiding Qin Taohua's kiss, and wanted to get off her.

Seeing this, Qin Taohua had no choice but to put her down, pinched her little face and said, "Auntie made you a new pair of shoes, but you forgot to bring them when you went out. Later, you go to my aunt's house to play, and auntie will put them on for you."

"

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at her worriedly: "Auntie, your memory is so bad! Last time for grandma's birthday, you said you made me a new set of clothes, but you forgot to bring them to me. This time you gave them to me.

I made a pair of shoes and you forgot again!"

When the others heard this, their expressions varied, and they looked at Qin Taohua with something a little more in their eyes.

Qin Taohua's face froze slightly, and her smile was a little awkward: "Oh, aunt has a lot to do, and she forgets it when she is not paying attention. When you go to my aunt's house to play, I will definitely remember to bring you shoes and clothes."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know that there was a kind of person who said he was nice to you, but actually had no benefit at all. When his eldest aunt said this, he thought she had really made clothes and shoes for him, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it.

"Auntie, I've grown taller in the past few months, and I can't wear the clothes and shoes you made."

Qin Taohua became more and more uncomfortable, wishing that the rag could block the mouth of her silly little niece: "It's okay, my aunt will make new ones for you, and I will definitely not forget to bring them to you."

Lin Qiuniang had seen enough of the drama, and then came out to smooth things over: "Xiaoxiao, stop pestering your eldest aunt, and take your silver cousin to play quickly."

Qin Xiaoxiao was impatient to talk to her eldest aunt. After hearing this, she immediately took Zhao Yinyin's little hand: "Cousin Yinyin, come with me quickly and I will show you something good."

Zhao Yinyin is a timid and shy little girl. The five-year-old she is similar in age to the six-year-old Xueya, but whenever she comes to Qin's house, she likes to follow Qin Xiaoxiao. She doesn't say much about this, not at all.

A cousin who is not annoying, Qin Xiaoxiao has always had great kindness and would share any good things with her.

Zhao gently held his little cousin's hand back, with a hint of joy in his small voice: "Okay~"

Qin Xiaoxiao's things were hidden in Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang's room. Ever since Zhao Xiuxiu revealed her true colors, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang were worried that she would sleep in the same room with Zhao Xiuxiu, so they took her pillow back and divided it among the three members of the family.

After half a year, I slept in the same bed again.

Qin Xiaoxiao brought Zhao Yinyin to the room, stood on tiptoe on a stool, and dug out the snacks hidden last night and a pair of brand-new headbands from the box. She put the three snacks on the table, opened them, and asked Zhao Yinyin to eat them.

.While Zhao Yinyin was eating, he clumsily tied the new headband on her.

After it was tied, the little girl felt very accomplished and praised: "It looks so beautiful!"

With these three words, I don’t know whether they are praising Zhao Yinyin for looking good with her new hair tie, or praising herself for looking good with her new hair tie.

Zhao Yinyin understood the former and became even more shy. She couldn't help but stretched out her little hand and touched the hairband on her head.

Hu Qingqing's eyes were hot and she said to Qin Xiaoxiao: "You haven't tied my hair yet!"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her, then at Zhao Yinyin, and finally told the truth: "My mother's hairpin looks better than mine."

Hu Qingqing refused to comply and made a fuss about wearing the same hair tie as Zhao Yinyin.

Qin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to coax her little cousin, so she had to make her squat down and fiddle with her head with his two little hands.

When the hair tie was tied up again, Hu Qingqing's fine hair became like a chicken coop.

Unexpectedly, Hu Qingqing couldn't see what was happening on her head. She felt that this was the first time her little cousin had tied a hairband on her head. She thought she was so beautiful, so she dangled her hair like a chicken coop, which made Lin Qiuniang unable to stop her hands from feeling itchy.

He held her down and combed her hair again.

In the main room, Qin Taohua no longer felt embarrassed after Qin Xiaoxiao left. Lin Qiuniang and Zhao Caoer chatted with each other at the top of her voice. Gradually, she realized that there was someone missing in the room, so she asked: "Where's Xiuxiu?

I've been here for so long and you haven't seen her come out to call for help?"

Lin Qiuniang's smile faded a little and she said, "My ankle is sprained and I can't get off the ground. I'm just lying down in the room."

Qin Taohua didn't know what happened in the Qin family these days, so she asked, "Why did you get sprained? This child is so unlucky."

Without waiting for Lin Qiuniang's reply, Zhao Cao'er said quickly: "You have done something wrong! Oh, don't mention it, it's too bad!"

Qin Taohua's eyes lit up: "What's going on? What did this girl do?"

Just as Zhao Cao'er was about to tell the "good thing" that Xiu Xiu had done, Lin Qiuniang quietly tugged on her clothes and winked in the direction of Mr. Qin.

Zhao Cao'er came to his senses and hurriedly said to Qin Taohua: "It's nothing, I just accidentally tripped and fell a little hard."

Qin Taohua looked at the two sisters-in-law suspiciously, feeling that things were not that simple.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Lin Qiuniang told Qin Taohua and went to the stove house to prepare lunch. Qin Shan was having a long talk with Zhao Dazhu. When he saw his wife going to the stove house, he quickly got up and went to help, and also brought Miao Dazhu to the stove house.

The old lady "kicked" her out.

Qin Taohua looked at Qin Shan who was going in and out, washing and chopping vegetables. She couldn't believe her eyes: "Second, second sister-in-law, is this my eldest brother?"

Zhao Cao'er took a look and said with some pride: "Who else could it be if you weren't the eldest brother? When it's my turn to cook, your second brother is still the same."

Qin Taohua was stunned. How have the men of the old Qin family become so virtuous?
