In order to make Jingheng believe that the biggest secret of the Qin family is Qin Xiaoxiao's life experience, Mr. Qin told him a lot about Qin Xiaoxiao's childhood, hinting that Jingheng and his family did not want Qin Xiaoxiao to be found by his biological parents.

Trying her best to hide her life experience.

Jingheng thought even more deeply, thinking that even if he abandoned his own flesh and blood in the mountains to feed wild beasts, animals would not be able to do such a thing. Therefore, Qin Xiaoxiao's biological parents would not come to find her. The Qin family cared too much about Qin Xiao.

I couldn't think of this until I laughed.

He can see clearly how the Qin family treats Qin Xiaoxiao; he can also see clearly how Qin Xiaoxiao treats the Qin family. The Qin family has selfish motives in not letting Qin Xiaoxiao know about his life experience, but concealing this

Isn't this a good thing for Qin Xiaoxiao?

The most important thing is for her to enjoy the favor of the Qin family with peace of mind and grow up safely and without worries!

The old man and the young one chatted around Qin Xiaoxiao for more than an hour. Mr. Qin never mentioned Zhao Xiuxiu, nor did he plead for her, nor did he ask what Jing Heng would do with her and the Sun family.

Jingheng was not sure what Mr. Qin was thinking. When sending Mr. Qin off, he originally wanted to ask but gave up the idea and asked Shitou to take Mr. Qin back to Qin's house.

Shitou helped Mr. Qin board the boat, and asked him to sit in the cabin to avoid the cold wind blowing from the lake. Mr. Qin refused, and stood at the bow of the boat as he had come, staring silently at the undulating sea.

lake surface.

Arriving at the center of the lake, Mr. Qin suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Jing also eight years old?"

Shitou was stunned and nodded: "It will be your eighth birthday soon."

Mr. Qin praised: "You are so modest in your words and deeds at a young age, and you are so lucky to have such a worry-free child!"

Shitou's face stiffened for a moment and he responded vaguely.

Mr. Qin saw that Shitou didn't want to talk more, so he stopped the topic.

After landing, Shitou sent Mr. Qin to the door of Qin's house, declined Mr. Qin's invitation to come in for tea, and immediately returned to Huaqing Garden, reporting to Jingheng every word what Mr. Qin said.

Jingheng thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Shitou: "Grandpa Qin won't say this for no reason. What do you think Grandpa Qin means?"

Shitou didn't dare to speculate and flattered him directly: "I think it was the master's intelligence that impressed Mr. Qin, which made Mr. Qin feel so emotional."

Jing Heng said scornfully: "What use do you have to flatter me!"

Shitou smiled apologetically, silently hoping that his young master would understand and not embarrass him.

Jing Heng thought he was an eyesore, so he waved his hand like a fly: "Get out!"

Shitou breathed a sigh of relief and was about to bow and leave when he was stopped by Jing Heng: "Seal the North Courtyard and find two illiterate deaf-mute people. No one is allowed to enter the North Courtyard without my order."

step!"

Shitou was startled, and just as he was about to persuade him, he met Jing Heng's dissatisfied gaze and immediately responded: "Yes, Young Master!"

Jing Heng was worried and stared at the stone with a naked threat: "You and the others had better forget about this matter. You are not allowed to mention it to anyone after you return to Beijing! If I know that you are cheating on me, don't blame me for killing you and your relatives."

Send them all to Mobei to raise koi!"

Shitou smiled bitterly to himself: "Don't worry, young master, no one will hear about this outside Huaqing Garden."

Jingheng was satisfied and gave another sweet date: "After returning to Beijing, I will be rewarded heavily."

Shitou: "Thank you sir!"

The reward is so hot that I can’t help but take it, alas~

On the other side, the first thing Mr. Qin did when he returned home was to call Qin Xiaoxiao and hold him on his lap. He did not mention what Zhao Xiuxiu had done, as if he really just went to Huaqingyuan to give advice on farming.

However, when Zhao Cao'er saw that Mr. Qin was empty-handed, he asked extravagantly: "Dad, what did you bring to Huaqingyuan? Why didn't you bring it back?"

Mr. Qin's hand on Qin Xiaoxiao's head trembled slightly, and he said with a normal expression: "It's a box of jujube pits. I want to see if Mr. Jing has any capable people who can grow good jujube seedlings from this box of jujube pits."

"

Zhao Caoer suddenly realized it and was very happy: "Dad is smart and thought of asking Mr. Jing to help...Dad, there are quite a few date seeds in this box. Even if only half of the seedlings come out, it will be enough for us to earn a lot of money!"

"

Others did not doubt what Mr. Qin said. They thought that Mr. Qin had collected a box of date cores behind their backs last year, and they all said: "It will be March in another half month. Let's cut more jujube branches and we can survive a tree."

It’s just two taels of silver.”

"In the first year of our family's jujube sapling business, it's better to play it safe. Anyway, the village has already ordered thirty-two seedlings, and we can earn more than sixty taels of silver, which is already a lot."

"You are a fool if you don't make money if you have money. Anyway, we are not forcing them to buy. Of course, the more they buy, the better."

"..."

Seven or eight people, old and young, talked so enthusiastically that they completely forgot to ask Mr. Qin what Hua Qingyuan looked like. Mr. Qin looked at them silently, as if listening, but also as if he was thinking about something else.

"Grandpa, are you unhappy?" Qin Xiaoxiao leaned her head on Mr. Qin's shoulder, staring at Mr. Qin with her big black eyes: "Grandpa hasn't smiled since he got home. Did someone bully grandpa?"

Mr. Qin came back to his senses, and an unnatural smile appeared on his face covered with traces of time: "Grandpa doesn't like to laugh. It's not like you don't know."

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned and reached out to touch Mr. Qin's eyelids: "Grandpa's face doesn't like to smile, but his eyes do. Every time grandpa is happy, his eyes are smiling!"

Mr. Qin was slightly shocked. He didn't expect his granddaughter to see it.

"Grandpa, why are you unhappy? Just tell me and I will find a way to make you happy, okay?" Qin Xiaoxiao sat up straight and looked at Mr. Qin: "Grandpa is not happy, so I am not happy!"

Mr. Qin's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and his body trembled uncontrollably: "Grandpa, grandpa is not unhappy. As long as you make him less worried, grandpa will be happy."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he thought that he had made his grandfather worried, and hurriedly reflected on what he had done in recent days.

But no matter how hard she thought, she never thought about what she had done to make her grandfather unhappy. She couldn't help crying: "Grandpa, what do you think? What did you say I did to make you unhappy? I will admit my mistake to grandpa. Grandpa, don't you?"

Is it okay to cry?”

The little girl's shouting alerted the others. Finding that Mr. Qin was not in a good mood, everyone was frightened and gathered around him in a panic.

As the person who knew Mr. Qin best, Mrs. Miao could tell at a glance that it was a big deal and said anxiously: "Old man, if you have anything to worry about, just say it. Don't keep it in your head alone. We can always come up with a solution as a family.

Way!"

Mr. Qin blinked hard several times and waved his hand slowly: "It's okay, I'm okay. I just think of some things in my early years and feel unhappy. It scared Xiaoxiao."

Qin Shan was doubtful, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Dad, did the brat named Jing make you unhappy? Huh, I knew this brat was not a good guy, I'm going to settle the score with him!"

After that, he turned around and walked out angrily.

"Stop!" Mr. Qin stood up with Qin Xiaoxiao in his arms, and shouted to Qin Shan: "You don't even believe what I said, do you? You said it because you remembered some things in the early years, and you still want to blame Mr. Jing, right?

Don’t you think your life is too comfortable and want to find something to do to entertain the whole village?”

"Dad, I, I'm worried about you suffering from that kid!" After being taught a lesson, Qin Shan dared not cross the lake to trouble Jing Heng. Seeing that his father looked ugly, he was afraid of being beaten, so he said confidently: "Just now

You look like you’re going to cry or not, you can’t blame me for thinking that!”

Mr. Qin lost his temper because of his stupidity. He hugged Qin Xiaoxiao and walked out: "I'm going to walk around in the fields with a smile." After that, he didn't care what others thought and went straight out the door.

When they walked to the yard, Dahuang, who was lying under the eaves and licking his fur, saw that the old and young masters were about to go out, so he quickly got up and followed them.

People in the room looked at each other, not sure whether to follow, or Mrs. Miao said: "Your father is not happy, so just let him walk around. You have nothing to worry about."

The others calmed down and went about their own business, but they still felt that something was not right with Mr. Qin.

Even they thought so, let alone Mrs. Miao. But Mr. Qin refused to say anything, and even if he asked, he wouldn't be able to find out anything, so he went into the kitchen to prepare dinner with worry.

Mr. Qin took Qin Xiaoxiao to the wheat field, and gradually calmed down as he watched the wheat seedlings growing half a foot high in the wind.

"Grandpa, the wheat seedlings are growing really well. Will there be delicious Shaomai to eat soon?" Qin Xiaoxiao deliberately coaxed Mr. Qin and specifically picked out the things he liked to hear and said: "Big brother said that Shaomai is delicious.

, when our wheat is ripe, can grandpa cook it for me to eat?"

Mr. Qin put her down, held her little hand and walked slowly: "Grandpa cooked it for you last year, have you forgotten?"

Qin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a while, with a vague impression: "It's been a long time since I forgot the taste of roasted wheat! If grandpa bakes more for me, I won't forget it."

Mr. Qin rubbed her head and agreed happily: "Okay, when the wheat is ripe, grandpa will bake it for you every day until you don't want to eat it."

"Hehe, thank you Grandpa!" Qin Xiaoxiao happily shook Grandpa's hand and coaxed: "I am still young, so I want Grandpa to bake delicious wheat for me to eat. When I grow up, I will also bake it.

Give the wheat you eat to grandpa."

"Haha, when you grow up, grandpa will be too old to eat the wheat you roasted." Mr. Qin didn't care about the roasted wheat, but he cared about his little granddaughter's thoughts, and he finally had a smile on his face.

"Grandpa, I don't want you to be cliched!" Qin Xiaoxiao knows what cliché is, just like the old lady who lives at the end of the village. She doesn't have a single tooth in her mouth and can only drink water-like porridge every day. She doesn't want her grandpa to become like this: "

You won’t age, you won’t lose your teeth, you can eat roasted wheat, and you can gnaw meat and bones!”

Mr. Qin was startled and raised his hand to cover his granddaughter's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!"

This kid Tong Yan Wuji doesn't know the importance of his words, and he doesn't know that there are no immortal people in the world. If he really becomes immortal in the future, he may be regarded as a monster.

Qin Xiaoxiao took off Mr. Qin's hand and said with a smile: "I'm not talking nonsense. Grandpa must promise me not to be arrogant, so that I can bake delicious wheat for grandpa to eat!"

Mr. Qin was helpless and nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay, grandpa promises you."

After all, he thought inadvertently that after raising Zhao Xiuxiu for many years, she had never said such a thing.

From the day he adopted Zhao Xiuxiu, all he wanted to do was fulfill Xiaolian's last wish, and he never thought about asking her to repay him. She has refused to say even a coaxing word in these years, so I guess she never thought about it.

Thinking of this, Mr. Qin couldn't help but think of Aunt Qin who passed away long ago, and the guilt in his heart dissipated unconsciously.

"Grandpa, look, the big yellow is chasing the rabbit!" Qin Xiaoxiao shouted, pointing at the big yellow chasing the rabbit not far away.

"Well, Rhubarb is about to catch up." Mr. Qin looked carefully, took his little granddaughter's hand and walked in the direction where Rhubarb was chasing the rabbit.

"Rhubarb is so awesome!" Qin Xiaoxiao and Yourong Yan began to drool: "Rhubarb hasn't caught a rabbit for a long time. I must be very happy to be able to catch a rabbit!"
