Mr. Qin has always been worried about the fact that Zhou Baoer came back to his home. Especially when he saw that she had an unusual fondness for his granddaughter, he wondered if she knew her secret from somewhere and was beating her.

idea.

This speculation made the always sensible old man extremely vigilant. As an elder and a man, it was inconvenient for him to talk to Zhou Baoer, so he asked Lin Qiuniang to explore Zhou Baoer's background, at least to know what Zhou Baoer wanted to do.

Lin Qiuniang did not dare to be careless and found an opportunity to get rid of Qin Xiaoxiao who was pestering Zhou Baoer. She told Zhou Zhou Baoer about the Liu family coming to ask for help the night before and asked if the Liu family had come to the Meng family to cause trouble for her.

Zhou Baoer did not doubt Lin Qiuniang's intentions and said truthfully: "I went and put on a show at the gate for outsiders to see. I wanted to ruin my reputation and force me to submit."

Lin Qiuniang was very sympathetic and explained: "The majority of people are sensible. As long as outsiders know that those houses and fields belong to your Zhou family, it will be useless even if they say hell."

Zhou Baoer sarcastically said: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. There are many people who accuse me of being unfilial!"

Lin Qiuniang didn't know what to say, so she continued to ask: "How did you send them away in the end? Your parents-in-law didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

A trace of distress flashed through Zhou Baoer's eyes: "I poured a few basins of cold water on me, hired a few gangsters with money, and beat them away. Father-in-law and mother-in-law... they didn't make things difficult for me. They just let outsiders see the Liu family's troubles."

It’s a joke, but I’m sure I won’t feel happy about it.”

Lin Qiuniang comforted her and said, "There is nothing we can do about reaching this point. As time goes by, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will understand your difficulties."

Zhou Baoer smiled and didn't say that it didn't matter whether they were considerate or not. When the time came, she would leave the Meng family and live her own free life.

Lin Qiuniang said something else, gradually focusing on returning home.

Zhou Baoer didn't pay attention at first, but after Lin Qiuniang said it a few times, she heard the doubts in her words. She thought this was a good opportunity to talk things out, so she said seriously: "I have completely broken up with the Liu family.

Your eldest cousin is not suitable. If you don't mind, I will call you 'Sister Qiu' from now on!"

Lin Qiuniang was stunned, wondering why Zhou Baoer suddenly changed her words to the title. Her intuition told her that if she accepted this title, there might be something more important for her to accept later.

It's just that the title "eldest cousin sister-in-law" is really inappropriate. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "It's just a title. You can call me whatever you like."

Zhou Baoer seemed very happy and immediately shouted: "Sister Qiu!"

Immediately afterwards, she revealed her purpose of returning to the Qin family: "Sister Qiu, the main reason why I came to your house is to laugh. I really like Xiaoxiao and want to recognize her as my goddaughter!

"

At this point, she became unusually uneasy and looked at Lin Qiuniang, who was wide-eyed in surprise, without blinking. She was worried that her request was too abrupt and that the newly recognized sister Qiu would not agree.

"This, this, you, are you kidding?" Lin Qiuniang was so shocked that she couldn't hold her tongue straight. She wanted to find traces of joking on Zhou Baoer's face, but she only saw sincerity.

"Sister Qiu, the first time I saw Xiaoxiao was at her first birthday party. To tell you the truth, when I saw you treating her like a sore thumb, I envied her having relatives like you. When I saw her, I

It's like seeing myself when I was a child..."

That day, Xiao Miao made a fuss at the table, and it was she who pushed Xiao Miao down: firstly, to embarrass Xiao Miao, and secondly, to make Xiaoxiao angry.

She didn't know why she wanted to vent her anger on Xiaoxiao. Maybe it was because she saw that her daughter, Xiaoxiao, could be loved by the whole family, which made her feel the same happiness after she had never experienced the love of her relatives since she was ten years old.

I just hope that this little girl like the little sun can always be happy.

Nowadays, in this world, she has no relatives except her aunt. Finally, she meets a little girl she likes, and she wants to protect her as she grows up.

This love was indeed mixed with calculations at first, but later on, she liked the little girl more and more every time she saw her. Now that she and the Liu family have completely fallen out, and the Qin family is not willing to stand up for the Xiao Miao family, she doesn't have to worry about anything.

He justifiably loves the little girl as a descendant.

After listening to Zhou Baoer's words, Lin Qiuniang could understand why she wanted to be her daughter's godmother. She could see that what Zhou Baoer said was true, but it was not a trivial matter to become a godmother. She could not make the decision alone, and her face showed that

A look of embarrassment.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Zhou Baoer felt a little hope in his heart. He also guessed her difficulty and said with some embarrassment: "I am too impatient to accept my godmother, at least I have to wait for my eldest cousin to come back.

Sister Qiu should discuss it with my eldest cousin!"

Lin Qiuniang breathed a sigh of relief and told Zhou Baoer the truth: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law love Xiaoxiao as much as me and your eldest cousin. To recognize my godmother, I need the nod of my elders."

Zhou Baoer knew it in his heart, so he said something to the front: "Sister Qiu, even if we decide that we can't get married, I hope to come over and visit Xiaoxiao often, but I don't know if it's possible."

Lin Qiuniang smiled and said: "Of course, Xiaoxiao also likes you. That night, the Liu family said bad things about you. When the little girl heard it, she kept fighting for you. She wanted to scare them away with Big Yellow!"

When Zhou Baoer heard this, his heart softened: "Xiaoxiao is such a child..."

The visitor was a guest. While Lin Qiuniang was talking to Zhou Baoer, Mrs. Miao and Zhao Caoer cooked a table of good meals with the ingredients at home.

With the pistachio Qin Xiaoxiao there, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very good. After the meal, Zhou Baoer and Meng Xiuran sat for a while, then said goodbye to the Qin family and prepared to leave, so as not to be unable to return to the Meng family before dark.

Mr. Qin made the decision and wanted to return the door-to-door gift to them. Zhou Baoer and Meng Xiuran started to fight as long as they were willing to accept it. In the end, Qin Xiaoxiao held a box of snacks and refused to let go, so Mr. Qin reluctantly accepted it.

As soon as the couple left, Lin Qiuniang told Zhou Baoer that she wanted to be married.

Zhao Cao'er, like Mr. Qin, suspected Zhou Bao'er had ulterior motives: "She is a newly married daughter-in-law who doesn't have much of a close relationship with our family. Why does she want to recognize Xiaoxiao as her goddaughter? I don't think so.

I can’t agree, lest she know Xiaoxiao’s secret!”

Mrs. Miao was thinking more and said worriedly: "Does Zhou Baoer want to use Xiaoxiao to establish a good relationship with our family, and then use our hands to deal with the little sister and the others?"

Lin Qiuniang believed that Zhou Baoer was sincere in her acceptance of the marriage, so she defended her: "Probably not. She has never suffered a loss at the hands of her aunt and the others when she was ten years old. Now she is the daughter-in-law of the Meng family. Aunt and the others

I can't touch her anymore, she can't do this."

Mrs. Miao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the silent Mr. Qin, wanting to know what the old man was thinking.

"Let Xiaoxiao make the decision on this matter!" After thinking about it, Mr. Qin let his granddaughter make her own decision.

Just by looking at how affectionate the little granddaughter was towards Zhou Baoer, he knew that she really liked Zhou Baoer. He didn't know if the little girl and Zhou Baoer were destined to have a relationship, and he was worried that he would just make the decision for the little granddaughter and refuse to get married.

If there is any hindrance to the little granddaughter, the only choice is to let the little granddaughter do it by herself.

After listening to Mr. Qin's words, Lin Qiuniang immediately came outside the yard and slipped Qin Xiaoxiao, who was playing with Sanbao Dahuang and the others, into the main room. She told her that Zhou Baoer wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter and asked her if she was willing.

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao was filled with questions: What is a godmother? Is she also a mother? But I already have a mother? Isn’t Cousin Zhou a cousin? Can she still become a mother?

"My godmother is half a mother. She is closer than my cousin. She will love you as half a daughter. If you accept your cousin next week as your godmother, you must treat her as half a mother and be filial to her." Lin Qiuniang was afraid of Qin Xiao.

Xiao Xiao didn't understand, so he simply explained it to her, letting her understand the benefits and responsibilities of becoming a godmother.

Qin Xiaoxiao listened very seriously and quickly understood the meaning of recognizing a godmother. She nodded without hesitation: I like my cousin and want to recognize her as my godmother!

This decision was expected by everyone.

"Xiaoxiao, have you thought clearly?" Mr. Qin looked at his granddaughter with a complicated expression. Even though he gave the decision-making power to his granddaughter, he didn't want his granddaughter to recognize this relationship.

The other three people also looked at Qin Xiaoxiao. They had the same idea as Mr. Qin. They were worried that if the little girl accepted Zhou Baoer as her godmother, she would reveal her secret in front of Zhou Baoer and cause big trouble for herself.

Grandpa, don't think about it, isn't it very happy to recognize your godmother? Qin Xiaoxiao looked at grandpa in confusion, not understanding what to think about.

When Mr. Qin heard this, his mood suddenly brightened: "Yes, it is something that makes you happy. You really don't have to think about it! This matter has been settled. When your father comes back, we will get it done."

The little granddaughter still has a few years to go before she grows up, so she can't be kept in the house and not allowed to interact with anyone. Moreover, Zhou Baoer married into the Meng family, so he doesn't have many opportunities to meet the little granddaughter, so he may not be able to notice the little granddaughter.

It's a secret. What's more, with the protection of such luck, even if Zhou Baoer knew about it and had evil intentions, I'm afraid it would be in vain.

Mr. Qin did not object. Even if Lin Qiuniang and others had any thoughts and concerns, they could only digest them in their hearts.

Qin Xiaoxiao was happy that she was about to have a godmother, and couldn't wait to share the good news with her brothers and sisters.

The second eldest daughter, Xueya, knew what it was like to accept a godmother, and she was not surprised that her younger sister recognized Cousin Zhou as her godmother.

Er Bao said with envy: "Cousin Zhou already likes my sister. When she becomes her goddaughter, she will definitely treat her better and give her more delicious food and fun."

Dabao joked: "You should also adopt a godmother for yourself, so that you can be like your sister."

Erbao scratched his head and said distressedly: "I'm not as good-looking as my sister, and I'm not as smart as my sister. People don't like me."

Dabao patted his younger brother on the head and laughed loudly. He took these living treasures and went to the village to play with his friends.

As the weather gets colder day by day, Qin Xiaoxiao prefers to stay in bed more and more every day. She will never stretch her hands and feet out of the quilt before meal time. In addition, there have been sporadic rains and sleets these days, so there is nothing she can do about it.

When I go out to play, I can't wait to stick to the bed.

It was a rare good day. The winter sun was warm on the body, and there was no cold wind like a knife. Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to go out to play early, but it was rare that she did not stay in bed and got up without being urged.

Just after breakfast, several children came to the door with small hoes and asked her and Sanbao to dig eels in the fields.

At this time of year, eels and loaches have already hid for the winter. If you want to find them and make tooth sacrifices, you have to dig in the fields or ditches with a shovel or hoe. Of course, there is no water in the fields and ditches, so you can only compare them.

The deep areas are wet and are often hiding places for eels and loaches.

There are not many vegetables on the table in winter, and what is used to eat is either pickles or radishes. As time goes by, adults and children are all greedy for meat, so many people carry shovels and hoes everywhere to dig out eels, and they can dig more or less eels.

to some.

The kids who invited Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao to dig eels, the oldest one was only five years old. They were bored and wanted to imitate the adults in digging eels. As for whether they could dig eels, they didn't care. They were just digging here and there.

There is an enigmatic interest in doing destruction.

After holding back at home for several days, Qin Xiaoxiao was no less interested in causing havoc than her friends. When she heard that she was going to dig eels, she picked up her small shovel and hoe and set off with her friends, and Dahuang followed suit.

superior.

Bieme was forced to stay at home. Who made him covet the wheat seedlings that had just sprouted in the ground? If he let this guy go with him, he would definitely destroy all the wheat seedlings.

The little guys were wearing thick clothes and it was very inconvenient for them to move around. Not long after they walked, they started to feel hot all over their bodies. They didn't dare to take off their clothes for fear of catching cold, so they simply sat down in the withered grass and prepared to rest before leaving.

One child really didn't want to leave. He pointed to a dirt bag full of dead grass and said, "Let's dig here. Maybe a big eel will come here and hide."

Qin Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said that there could be no eels here. The eels were all hiding in the ditches in the fields. How could they end up in dry dirt bags?

"Just dig here, it doesn't matter if you can't dig." There was more than one lazy person. One child got up from the ground, picked up his little hoe, and started digging.

"Dig, you can take the worms home and feed them to the chickens!" Seeing this, the other children also found a place to dig, and they did not forget to greet Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao: "You guys should dig quickly, it's sweet here.
