After hearing what Qin Xiaoxiao said, everyone in the Qin family didn't believe it, and they also guessed the reason why a jujube tree suddenly died in the Lin family's main house.

However, in the face of interests, the Lin family does not necessarily believe it and is unlikely to give up purchasing jujube saplings.

Lin Qiuniang did not want her eldest brother and sister-in-law to misunderstand, so after seeking Mr. Qin's consent, she decided to give them two jujube saplings next spring to let them give up.

Zhao Cao'er had no objection at all to this. Anyway, her parents' family had already planted enough jujube trees, and ten or eight more jujube saplings would not make them famous, so there was no need to waste their efforts.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't even have any objections. She hated the Fang family and had no objections to Lin Chunsheng and Sister-in-law Lin. Even if the couple failed to cut the knot quickly and take care of the Fang family, it was still their family matter and she, an outsider, had no objection.

The right to speak.

After dinner, Qin Chuan's family of three sat for a while, then packed up the dishes and went back; Mr. Qin and Qin Shan walked in the yard to eat and chatted with the coachman who was staying at home for the night; Qin Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Miao Lin Qiuniang went together

After washing and rinsing, the kitchen room was filled with laughter and laughter.

When the work was finished, Qin Xiaoxiao got a bucket of hot water and went back to the room to wash up.

Lin Qiuniang wanted to talk to her for a while, so she followed her to her house and took melon seeds to give her a bath.

While the mother and daughter were chatting, Lin Qiuniang suddenly remembered the business and said quickly: "The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is a sunny day, and your sister-in-law is going to host a table for her family to have a meal."

"Mom, I have remembered Sister Qingqing's birthday, and I have also prepared her haircut gift." Qin Xiaoxiao has been studying in the capital for several years, and has never lost contact with Hu Qingqing, so naturally she will not forget her birthday.

.

Lin Qiuniang smiled and said, "Just remember. After finishing your eldest brother's banquet on the eighth day of the lunar month, I have to go to your sister Yin Yin's house to congratulate you. On the tenth day of the lunar month last month, your sister Yin Yin gave birth to a boy."

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned: "Mom, didn't you say that cousin Yin Yin is giving birth this month? Why is it almost a full moon?"

Zhao Yinyin is two years older than Qin Xiaoxiao and Hu Qingqing. She married into a well-to-do family named Qian in the county last spring as soon as she had haircuts. Her husband's family is engaged in small business and has several storefronts to collect rent.

Qin Guihua and Zhao Dazhu took a fancy to this and chose the Qian family from more than a dozen families who wanted to marry Zhao Yinyin.

Since Zhao Yinyin got married, Qin Xiaoxiao has had fewer opportunities to see her. The last time he saw her was when he came back from the capital at the beginning of the year. He heard that she was pregnant and visited her with Lin Qiuniang.

"Yinyin is the first child, so it's normal for her to be born ten days and a half months early." Lin Qiuniang explained, then she nodded her daughter's forehead and said: "You are a girl, why are you asking so many questions? If word spreads, people will laugh at you.

.”

Qin Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Mom and I are here, we won't spread the word." After that, she asked with some worry: "Mom, how is cousin Yinyin doing at Qian's house?"

Lin Qiuniang thought for a while and said, "My mother went there twice, and every time the Qian family entertained me, I couldn't make any mistakes. I think Yinyin is very valued by the Qian family."

Qin Xiaoxiao thought to himself that he has his third uncle, a fifth-rank official in the capital, and his eldest brother who won the imperial examination at a young age. Naturally, a small merchant in the Qian family would not dare to look down on him. From this point of view, the Qian family cannot be ignored.

How do you treat your cousin Yin Yin?

With this thought in her mind, she did not say it directly. She wiped her body with a dry handkerchief and said, "You will know on the tenth day of the lunar month. If the Qian family treats cousin Yin Yin badly, we cannot let it go."

Lin Qiuniang felt that her daughter was overthinking, so she responded casually: "Don't worry, if the Qian family dares to treat Yin Yin badly, your father and brothers will not spare them."

Qin Xiaoxiao was satisfied and temporarily put aside her worries about Zhao Yinyin. She thought about the gift she wanted to give. After much deliberation, she decided to go to the silver house to buy a pair of heads and face and a longevity lock.

The head and face are given to Zhao Yinyin, and the longevity lock is given to the baby.

Time flew by and it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. On this day, except for Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao who stayed at home, everyone else went to Hujia Village with their gifts.

Walking on the winding and narrow mountain road that could not pass for carriages or oxcarts, Zhao Cao'er rubbed the mud on his feet in disgust and said to the others: "When the third brother comes back, he must take the lead in repairing this road."

Dabao rolled his eyes: "If Mom wants to build the road, she can just take the lead. Why bring Third Uncle in?"

Zhao Cao'er glared at him and cursed: "If I have such ability, why do I need you to get the top prize?"

Dabao said nonchalantly: "Mom, you know you are incompetent, so don't always try to make decisions for others. The Hanlin Academy is just a Qingshui yamen. The third uncle's annual salary is not as much as our income from selling jujubes. Please let the third uncle

Is the leader trying to make Third Uncle and his family drink from the northwest wind?"

Zhao Cao'er was furious and punched Dabao: "I asked your third uncle to take the lead and call together all the families who take this road. Each family will pay money to build the road. I didn't let your third uncle and his family pay for it."

Is she, Zhao Cao'er, such a fool who deceives her own family? Building roads and bridges is a great merit. My brother-in-law can get a share of the merit just by opening his mouth. Why can't he do such a good thing?
