Chapter 046

The Qin family has only two old ladies and Qin Mutong. They live a simple life and don’t have much food in the stove.

However, compared with most people in the village, the Qin family's life is actually very easy.

Of course, the old lady always hides her weakness. Although she is very generous in dressing up her granddaughter, she only complains in front of outsiders. So even if someone wants to make an idea about the Qin family and ask Old Lady Qin to borrow some money or something, she is embarrassed to speak.

"My milk and I are ready, so I'm waiting to put it in the pot." Qin Mutong said, "But since you are here, I'll cut a piece of bacon and stir-fry peas for you?"

Zheng Fangyi glanced at him and knew that the Qin family's grandchildren were originally planning to eat pickled cabbage and stir-fried beans.

It was because of his arrival that Qin Mutong added a meat dish.

At this time, it was the time when the peas and beans were ripe. The Qin family ate these tender peas and beans, and most people in the village were reluctant to eat them like this.

Zheng Fangyi felt a little embarrassed: "Steamed sauerkraut and peas are delicious..."

"With a guest coming, our family is not so stingy, not even giving him some meat." Qin Mutong ignored him, took the bacon, cut a small piece, and looked less than two taels.

Don’t underestimate this little meat. Many families may not be able to eat such a piece of meat during the New Year.

Zheng Fangyi felt even more embarrassed when Qin Mutong acted so generously.

He quickly helped to burn the fire and said, "I see that there is not much firewood in your house. Let me go and chop some of it and send it to you?"

In the countryside, people burn firewood stoves, which is more costly.

Of course, everyone has to go out to collect firewood.

There are no hills near Xinmin Village where firewood can be chopped. Some places that can barely be called small hills are full of food, so it is not easy for people to collect firewood in normal times.

The main reason is that there are too many people robbing firewood. If anyone goes out late, the firewood that can be picked will have been cleaned up by others.

The Qin family has a small population and does not require much firewood. The two grandparents and grandchildren usually pay attention to picking up firewood. But no matter how much they pay attention, how can they grab those who collect firewood more carefully?

Therefore, the Qin family's firewood is in a state of just enough or slightly more abundant.

Qin Mutong didn't expect Zheng Fangyi to make such a suggestion. She didn't hesitate and simply said: "Okay, then I'll thank you first!"

She really doesn't know how to pick up firewood. She went to pick up dried bamboo shoot shells several times, and her hands were thorned, which made her itchy for several days before she calmed down. The old lady sometimes felt sorry for her and refused to let her do these jobs.

But Qin Mutong also felt sorry for the old lady.

Now it is rare that a strong laborer takes the initiative to deliver it to her door, but it would be strange if she could push it out!

How could her two taels of bacon not be able to withstand a basket of firewood?

Qin Mutong was disgusted, and Zheng Fangyi became even happier: "You usually want to study, but Grandma Han is older. You should stop picking up firewood. I will tell Chen Ming and ask him to send a bundle of firewood to your house every once in a while. What do you think?"

"Not really." Qin Mutong gave Zheng Fangyi a blank look, "There is a generation gap between me and Chen Ming. If you are really kind, please tell him not to come to me in the future!"

Zheng Fangyi was stunned: "Did you two quarrel?"

No, they don’t seem to be very familiar with each other, so this can be arguing?

"What are you quarreling?" Qin Mutong said speechlessly, "It's just that they have different ideas and can't just go together!"

"Oh." Zheng Fangyi felt relieved and smiled, "That boy Chen Ming is a little stubborn and always likes to be stubborn. I'll talk about him when I look back!"

Qin Mutong didn't care about Chen Ming's affairs. What she was more curious about was another thing: "You just said, is there a quarrel over your house? What's the matter?"

It's noon, you can't make a wedding chamber?

That's too dissatisfaction!

When talking about the Zheng family, the expression on Zheng Fangyi's face became a little subtle: "My cousin is back. When he knew about the matter at home, he told my uncle to ask my uncle to take back my land and return it to me. Even if there is more money, it doesn't matter. My uncle doesn't want to talk about this for the time being, but my cousin insists on my uncle's words, and the two of them started arguing..."

A quarrel started?!

Qin Mutong's hand holding the wooden shovel suddenly stopped: "What's going on?"

Zheng Fangyi had just returned, and he was not surprised that Zheng Hongxing sold his land!

It can be seen that although he was not in the village before, he must have had a suspicion. He knew about this matter early, so he remained so calm at this time!

And the eyeliner he left was definitely not Chen Ming!

It was not Qin Mutong who questioned the friendship between Zheng Fangyi and Chen Ming, but mainly because Chen Ming knew at a glance that his mind was very simple and he was not a person who could hide things.

If Zheng Fangyi really let Chen Ming pay attention to the situation of the Zheng family and report it to him at any time, he would have been exposed early!

And Zheng Fangyi's cousin is even more puzzled.

Qin Mutong knew that the cousin Zheng Fangyi mentioned was Zheng Hongxing's eldest son, Zheng Jianguo.

Zheng Jianguo joined the army more than ten years ago. Later, after he was discharged from the army, he stayed in the provincial capital to work, and married his wife and gave birth to children in the provincial capital. He usually only returned to his hometown to check out during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, the younger generation in the village had no deep impression of Zheng Jianguo.

In Qin Mutong's memory, she had only heard of the name Zheng Jianguo, but had never seen Zheng Jianguo herself.

But unexpectedly, Zheng Jianguo came back and had such a big deal suddenly!

Today is Zheng Jianqing’s wedding day!

I don’t know how many people are having wedding banquets at the Zheng family!

No matter what aspect you consider, Zheng Jianguo shouldn't have a fight with his own father at this time, right?!

"That's it!" Zheng Fangyi looked at Qin Mutong silly and said.

Qin Mutong: "..."

If she believed Zheng Fangyi's expression, then she would be the real silly!

Qin Mutong felt aroused and asked, "Did you come back together with your cousin?"

A smile flashed in Zheng Fangyi's eyes.

He knew he couldn't hide it from her!

This little girl is so smart.

Could this be the difference between reading more and reading less?

Zheng Fangyi said openly: "Of course not! My cousin and I are back. And I came back a while ago before him."

He took advantage of the time he came back early to make his official cousin who always likes to put on airs, has a bigger face than the sky, and always seems to be worried about the whole family. He saw with his own eyes how miserable his lonely cousin was ruined by his own parents!

Of course, before his cousin came back, he had already let some wind leak in front of his cousin.
