Over there in the main hall.
Qin Yao and his wife led Xu Wenqing's nephew and grandson into the house.
Everyone in the room hurriedly stood up to greet him. Since he didn't know the other person's true identity, they treated him as if he were a parent and greeted him warmly.
Xu Jiajia was also generous and followed Siniang around, calling everyone.
Xu Jiajia seemed very excited because she had never seen a family like Qin Yao's family.
She has many questions.
Why are there so many people in the Liu family who are not named Liu, but they treat their classmates as if they are family members?
There is also the Liu family's uncle, who is so young and smiles like an older brother, not like an uncle.
However, the etiquette at home was well taught, so Xu Jiajia did not ask questions on the spot.
After Si Niang asked her parents and Granny Xu for permission, she pulled Xu Jiajia to the gate.
The three Dalang brothers followed closely behind.
The sound of firecrackers that had just been interrupted started again, mixed with the cheers of neighbor children.
Xu Jiajia's laughter was also among them. For the little girl, it was the first time in her life to play a game like setting off firecrackers. It was interesting and exciting.
Xu Wenqing sat down in front of the stove, listening to the playfulness coming from outside the house, looking at the window lattice with gentle eyes and said:
"My two brothers, a niece and two nephews all died on the battlefield. Now, in the third generation of my natal family, only Jiajia is the only child who has been raised by me since she was a child and has never been to the frontier fortress. grow up."
As soon as these words were spoken, the lively atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
Everyone looked at Qin Yao and Liu Ji in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer the question.
Qin Yao waved her hand secretly, signaling for everyone to leave first.
Liu Ji had wanted to escape for a long time, but with Qin Yao's instructions, he immediately led everyone away.
Qin Feng felt a little strange. His cheap brother-in-law's reaction to Xu's aunt was too fierce. Even if he tried his best to hide it, the fear and awe in his eyes could not be concealed.
But Qin Feng also knew that now was not the time to ask, so he could only leave first and ask his sister after they left.
Not long after, only Qin Yao and Xu Wenqing, who were still reminiscing, were left in the room.
Yin Le left behind the hot milk tea and dried fruit cakes for the guests. Qin Yao poured a cup of hot milk tea, sprinkled a handful of dried fruits into it, put a silver spoon on it, and brought it to Xu Wenqing.
She looked back at the fragrant milk tea mixed with dried fruits. She was stunned for a long time before reaching out to take it.
Qin Yao thought she was on guard and said deliberately: "I don't have poison at home."
"Of course, there are no outsiders in the house now. If you are worried, just ask the secret guard to come out to test the poison. I don't mind." Qin Yao added.
After saying that, he scooped two tablespoons of dried fruits soaked in milk tea and put them into his mouth, chewing them with satisfaction.
Feeling that the taste was not rich enough, I took another small piece of chicken cake and put it in my mouth, took a sip of the fragrant milk tea, and leaned back comfortably on the chair.
Xu Wenqing didn't speak until this moment.
Following Qin Yao's example, he also took a quick chicken cake to eat and had another sip of milk tea.
While eating, Xu Wenqing laughed and looked at Qin Yao with some envy, "What else did you cook that was delicious?"
Qin Yao replied: "I also made some dumplings and stuff. I'm too lazy to cook them. You can go back and ask someone to make them for you."
Xu Wenqing looked at her speechlessly, then shook her head and laughed, "You're not polite and want to let me have a meal or something?"
"Do you have time?" Qin Yao asked with raised eyebrows.
Xu Wenqing was silent.
She really didn't have that much time, so she took the time to come here today.
But she felt it was worth coming today.
"What do you do on weekdays? Just eat and drink?" Xu Wenqing asked curiously.
Qin Yao smiled, took out a few drawing books from the table behind her and handed them over.
"What?" Xu Wenqing asked. But he honestly put down his food and took the notebooks.
When I opened it, I saw a comic book storybook with little figures on it. And this story is also very easy to understand. Either the woman loves the man, or the man loves the woman. They hugged each other without a few words of dialogue.
Xu Wenqing looked at Qin Yao's proud expression in shock, she didn't expect you to be such a woman!
But the painter's brushwork was superb, and whether he was a man or a woman, they all looked as handsome and graceful as gods.
However, not all books are so straightforward and hot, some of them tell folklore stories such as mountain spirits and monsters.
Xu Wenqing browsed through them all roughly, maybe because he was old and not very interested.
"very nice."
When she returned the little book to Qin Yao, she sighed like this.
Qin Yao asked her what she was doing.
Xu Wenqing said: "It's great that I can wait until you come."
Because before she appeared, she was really alone and lonely.
"Do you think you belong to this world?" Xu Wenqing asked curiously.
The reason why she asked was because she had never felt that she belonged to this world.
It's been fifty years since she was a baby, and looking back, it's like watching a role-playing game.
And she is just a character in the game, not the real her.
Qin Yao didn't think it was that profound, "I think it's good to live in hope."
The scene of the apocalypse seemed like an unreal nightmare to her every time she recalled it.
"It seems that you had a hard time in the past." Xu Wenqing said firmly.
Qin Yao shrugged, "It's okay, just get used to it."
The sound of firecrackers outside the house stopped at some point.
The four Si Niang brothers and sisters led Xu Jiajia, who was still unfinished, back to the main hall. They found the snacks on the table, and Xu Jiajia blinked at Si Niang.
Si Niang understood and gave her some of everything, letting her grill it over the fire and eat slowly.
Xu Wenqing asked with concern: "Is it cold?"
Xu Jiajia's cheeks bulged after eating, she shook her head and said nonsensically: "It's not cold, it's interesting, it's fun."
The three Dalang brothers stood aside and smiled a little awkwardly.
Xu Wenqing looked at the three brothers and joked to Qin Yao: "None of them look like you, but they are all quite handsome."
"Handsome?" Xu Jiajia and Siniang both looked over and asked, "What is handsome?"
Qin Yao explained: "It means handsome and good-looking."
The two little girls said oh and learned a new word.
"Auntie, I'm full." Xu Jiajia patted the cake crumbs in her hands with a satisfied look on her face.
I didn't forget to say to Qin Yao: “Aunt Qin, your food is so delicious, even better than the food in the imperial kitchen!”
After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that he had let something slip. Like a frightened little squirrel, he glanced at Xu Wenqing in a panic, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he explained lamely:
"Aunt Qin, what I mean is that your food is very delicious. It should be better than the ones in the imperial dining room in the palace. Although I have never eaten in the imperial dining room, hehe~"
Sanlang laughed, "I thought you had eaten at the imperial dining room, and I was about to ask you what delicious food there is in the imperial dining room."
The result is a mouthful.
Xu Jiajia hummed: "When I go, I will tell you what delicious food there is."
He turned back to Si Niang and whispered, "Your third brother is so greedy."
Sanlang's eyes widened: "I heard you say I'm greedy!"
Xu Jiajia: "." (End of chapter)
