Aunt Fan is in charge of the kitchen, and Aunt Hong is adding firewood.

There are four dishes in total at noon, braised chicken nuggets, scrambled eggs with loofah, fried radish soup with pork liver, and kimchi.

Yang Haiyan asked Aunt Fan to pack a portion of braised chicken nuggets, stir-fried radish soup with pork liver, and scrambled eggs with loofah and put them in an insulated tea bucket.

She ate a small bowl of white rice by herself, a few pieces of chicken, a few mouthfuls of pork liver, radishes, and eggs, and the rest of the dishes were eaten by Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong's family.

Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong ate the rest of the dishes. The main food is a bowl of rice and sweet potatoes per person. Although not fully satisfied, they are all full. For them, the meal was already good.

After a good meal, Uncle Hong went to deliver food to Qin Fang.

Uncle Hong: "Madam, I'll bring some food to the adults. You can pick up some firewood at the foot of the mountain passing by, but it's not safe for the donkey cart to park at the foot of the mountain, so I want to take my wife with me. She can guard me when I pick up firewood. In the donkey cart, can you see it?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan said, "Yes." It's totally fine, and the firewood of 30 yuan a month can be saved. So, it's good to have someone.

Baili Village

Qin Fang's hometown

Qin Tieniu is 38 years old this year and in his prime. The eldest son, Qin Fang, went to serve in the military at the age of 16. Originally, he should have gone. This matter is easy to say.

Grandpa Qin has three sons and two daughters. The Qin family is a big family in Baili Village and has not yet separated. Qin Tieniu is the eldest son. It stands to reason that because the Qin family is not divided, a place for military service will not be the eldest son of Qin Tieniu, nor the eldest grandson of Qin Fang. People with a little bit of rules all know the difference between the eldest son and the eldest grandson.

However, there is an exception.

Uncle Qin Qin Erniu's son was only five years old at the time. It is said that children are too young to be without a father, so Uncle Qin naturally cannot serve in the military.

Then only the third uncle Qin and Qin Sanniu are left, but the third uncle Qin is the youngest, he is the latest to marry, and he didn't have a son back then. While serving in the military, accidents can happen at any time. Once there is an accident, Uncle Qin will never end.

So under the circumstances that Qin Erniu and Qin Sanniu could not serve in the military, only Qin Tieniu, the eldest son, could go. Qin Fang was worried that his father would go to the military, so he secretly signed up behind his family's back. Once the quota for military service was registered, it could not be changed. Therefore, Grandpa Qin could only bear the reluctance to let his eldest grandson go.

They originally prayed that after five years of military service, the eldest grandson would return safely. How could they know that after three years, the eldest grandson became a centurion and would bring back three taels of silver every year.

Grandpa Qin made the call, and the eldest grandson brought back three taels of silver to Gongzhong, and two taels for the long house to keep. In this regard, no matter what the second and third rooms have in mind, they have to hold back, after all, this is the money Qin Fang earned with his life.

On this day, Grandpa Qin was busy in the field with his son and daughter-in-law, and the youngest granddaughter at home came to call someone. The youngest granddaughter was Qin Fang's eight-year-old sister, named Qin Siya.

Qin Siya happily ran to the ground, and before she could reach the ground, she shouted at the ground, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, go home soon, my elder brother has a letter, and I asked the official to bring a big package. return."

Although the Qin family is not divided, the money earned in private by several houses does not need to be handed over, so what Qin Fang said is true that his grandmother is in charge of the big house.

Mother Qin threw the work in her hands and ran to the ground. Mother Qin was not a soft rake. Originally, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin valued the eldest son. Of course, marrying a wife for the eldest son would not marry a soft rake. The three sons are the great heroes of the Qin family, so she is very confident and has a straight back. For this eldest daughter-in-law, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin are very good at giving her face.

In addition, now that Qin Fang is promising, they value the eldest daughter-in-law even more.

Hearing the letter from the eldest grandson, Grandpa Qin was also anxious, but unlike the eldest daughter-in-law who threw away the work and ran away, he said, "I'm here today, come back with me." At the beginning, every time the eldest grandson sent a letter, they had to ask The children in the village read the letter. Last year, the eldest grandson sent three taels of silver over, saying that he would send his younger brother to study, and he didn't say anything about taking the imperial examinations.

So Qin Tie Niu took the lead and sent his two sons to study at Tong Sheng in the village. Of course, the money was paid by Dafang himself, and he used two taels of the three taels sent by Qin Fang.

Sanfang has no son and doesn't care about that. The second room has a son, and I feel unhappy, but the big room uses the private money to send his son to study, and the second room can't do anything about it.

The two children were sent this year, the elder Qin Shouye, 14 years old this year, and the younger Qin Shoucheng, 11 years old this year. Speaking of which, these two names were chosen by Qin Fang after he knew the characters.

The Qin family is a peasant family, and they don't pay much attention to the name. When Qin Fang, the eldest grandson, was born, Grandpa Qin spent 6 copper coins and asked the Tongsheng in the village to help him choose the name.

However, now Qin Shouye and Qin Shoucheng have known a lot of words and can read letters.

When Grandpa Qin brought people home, Qin Shouye and Qin Shoucheng had already returned from Tongsheng's house.

Seeing everyone coming, Grandma Qin said happily: "This is what A Fang brought. It used to be just a letter, but this time it's a big bag."

Qin Shoucheng: "I don't know what big brother brought with you, grandma, open the package and have a look."

Qin Shouye's character is relatively calm. After the eldest brother went to serve in the military, he was the second son of the eldest brother. If the eldest brother had an accident, the family would have to rely on him, so he was taught to be very stable, while Qin Shoucheng was more lively. Everyone is like this, the eldest son has a big burden, while the youngest son is carefree.

The package was packed in a wooden box, and the seal was opened, and the wooden box was opened to see what was inside. I have to say, everyone was shocked when they saw what was inside. Because this is the first time that Qin Fang has brought things over. It used to be a letter, and even the silver was only brought back at the end of last year, but why so many things this time? There's still cloth in there, it's really...

Second Aunt Qin: "Ah yo, isn't this Ah Fang making a fortune? In this way, this military service is really good."

Qin's mother: "Serve the military once every five years. If the second younger brother and sister feel good, then let the second younger brother go next time." Her son is working hard. Don't think that there is no war now, but what if there is a war? This sister-in-law only speaks sarcastic words.

Second Aunt Qin: "Sister-in-law, isn't this forced to be the boss? My Niudan is only nine years old. What if the boss has an accident?"

"Shut up." Grandma Qin warned, listen to this, is it okay for her eldest grandson to have an accident? But with her son on one side and her grandson on the other, of course she didn't want anything to happen to either side.

Grandpa Qin: "Shouye, come and read the letter."

Qin Shouye: "Yes, Grandpa." He opened the letter, poured out three taels of silver from the letter to Grandpa Qin, and then read the letter.

When he finished reading the letter, the Qin family was stunned.

Qin Shouye said again: "...There is also a letter here, which is for our big room. My sister-in-law said, let us read it in private."

Qin's mother's eyes reddened: "A Fang is married? Or is it a daughter-in-law for the court? It's great to have studied and learned to read." She was originally worried that her eldest son would be twenty years old, and he will not be full until March next year. After five years of service, I will be twenty-one when I come back. How can I find this daughter-in-law? But she didn't expect the court to find her son, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

When she heard in the letter again that her daughter-in-law had read and learned to read, and now she was teaching her son to read, she was very happy. She must know that a girl who has read and learned to read is incredible, and she is so virtuous.

Qin Shouye: "This letter was written by my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law's writing is really good."

Grandma Qin's thoughts are the same as Mother Qin's. Now she doesn't need to worry about her eldest grandson's marriage. She is also such a good grandson-in-law, and she is very happy. "Old man, according to what A Fang's wife wrote in the letter, these things are worth one point."

Second Aunt Qin: "Mum, Niudan doesn't have any decent clothes at her age. Let's make some clothes for Niudan with this blue muslin."

Qin's mother: "This is a gift from Ah Fang's daughter-in-law to her younger brother and sister. Ah Fang's daughter-in-law is from a big family. If you want to **** this thing, wouldn't it make Ah Fang's daughter-in-law a joke?"

Second Aunt Qin: "But she's not here right now, and I don't know." It's really irritating that this sister-in-law can give birth, but she has found such a good daughter-in-law.

Mother Qin would not pay attention to her. There is no reason for anyone to **** the things her daughter-in-law sent. She directly said to Qin Shouye, "Erwa, distribute these things according to what your sister-in-law said in the letter."

Second Aunt Qin looked at Grandma Qin and said, "Mum, can't you hurt Niudan? He is also your grandson."

Qin's mother: "If you want the eggs to be good, you have to rely on your mother and his father's efforts, not by robbing other people's things."

Second Aunt Qin: "Mother..."

Grandma Qin: "Okay, eldest daughter-in-law, divide things up."

Qin's mother: "Yes. Dad, Mom, these two pieces of cloth are for you, the same as me and the head of the family. These two pieces are for Shouye and Shoucheng, and these two pieces are for Da Ya and Si Ya. "Second Ya is the daughter of the second house, San Ya and Wu Ya are the daughter of the third house.

Qin Daya is 16 years old this year. She just said her kiss and is going to get married at the end of the year. Although the cloth is not red, she can also make her a new dress. For Qin Siya, this cloth is also suitable, and Yang Haiyan's choice is good.

Qin's mother: "This veil is for the second sibling, the third sibling, the second, the third, and the fifth." No matter whose daughter-in-law enters the door, it is always better for the brothers and sisters directly related to the husband's side. "This purse is for cow eggs."

As for the second uncle Qin and the third uncle Qin, there are no more. The nephew, daughter-in-law and uncle still have to avoid it. Besides, Yang Haiyan doesn't know what to give them. Besides, he gave it to the second aunt Qin, the third aunt Qin and his cousins, and the love has come.

After dividing the good things, Qin's mother took the things from the big room back to the house, and called the people from the big room back: "Master, Shouye, Shoucheng, Da Ya, Si Ya, go back to the house." They will continue to read the letter.
