Qin Shengli, who was originally ready to leave, immediately became interested when he heard Xia Qingmai's words.
"Are you planning to go back with Fugui to worship your second uncle?"
Seeing that Uncle Qin guessed why he wanted to return to Xiawan Town, Xia Qingmai nodded immediately and said: "Yes, although I did not adopt my second uncle in the end, my second uncle regards me as his daughter. Now that I am married, How could you not go and see him?"
Hearing Xia Qingmai's words, Qin Shengli was also happy.
He had seen everything the old squad leader did to Xia Qingmai, his niece. Now that the child had a filial piety and was thinking about the old squad leader, he felt at ease, feeling that the old squad leader's love for her niece was not in vain.
Thinking about his work arrangements, Qin Shengli looked at Xia Qingmai and said, "I will probably have time this Saturday, but the specific arrangements will not be confirmed until Friday."
"In this way, if I have time on Saturday, I will go to Xiawan Town with you."
Hearing Qin Shengli's words, Xia Qingmai immediately laughed.
She mentioned this matter in front of Uncle Qin with the intention of attracting Uncle Qin's attention. Now that he not only pays attention, but is also willing to take the time to go together, it is naturally better.
Thinking of what Xia's family revealed during their wedding two days ago, Xia Qingmai's smiling eyes were not warm.
She must help the original owner do what she wants from her heart.
What's more, her second uncle Xia Hongbing is still a soldier she admires for protecting her family and country. For such a person, she doesn't want to see everyone forget him like this.
After talking about going to Xiajiawan on Saturday, Xia Qingmai called the two children to call Qin Shengli grandpa.
The two children Shuyu were still young, and the last time Shuyan saw Qin Shengli was half a year ago. He just felt that he had seen this grandpa before but couldn't tell when.
However, the brother and sister still called Qin Shengli obediently "Grandpa Qin". Looking at the obviously more lively child, Qin Shengli was so happy that he quickly gave a child a two-dollar red envelope.
Two yuan for one child, four yuan for two children, Xia Qingmai naturally refused to ask for this money.
"Take it! This is the first time I'm seeing children. They call me grandpa. As a grandpa, I must give them red envelopes."
After saying this, Qin Shengli paused and continued: "Raising children is not only hard work, but also requires a lot of energy. But Qingmai, since you are their mother, you must fulfill your duties as a mother."
"If you have any difficulties, just talk to Fugui. If Fugui can't do it, just call our uncles."
"We can't watch you being bullied, and we can't let you bully others."
"The old squad leader is not here, and those of us who are uncles are your natal family."
Xia Qingmai naturally agreed obediently to what Qin Shengli said.
Seeing that Xia Qingmai no longer refused his kindness as before, Qin Shengli was filled with emotions, feeling that Xia Qingmai had really grown up after getting married.
It's just that Xia Qingmai had left a deep impression on Qin Shengli before, and there were some things that he didn't dare to tell her yet.
Qin Shengli set a deadline for himself in his heart. If Qingmai improved significantly within a year, he would find an opportunity to tell her the matter.
Remembering that he still had work to do in the afternoon, Qin Shengli stayed for a few more minutes before getting up and preparing to leave.
Seeing that Qin Shengli was leaving, Xia Qingmai naturally wanted to stay for dinner.
"There's no rush about eating. I'm going on a business trip in Yu'an for a week, and there will always be a chance to have dinner at your house. We have colleagues from several bureaus having dinner together at noon. This has been agreed a long time ago, and we have to go."
Hearing that Qin Shengli already had an appointment, Xia Qingmai naturally couldn't keep any guests, so he could only take his two children to send Qin Shengli out.
As soon as the group of them came out of the house, there was a voice in the yard next door.
"Hey, rich wife, is this person really a relative of yours?" As he spoke, the man's eyes kept looking at the faces of Qin Shengli and Xia Qingmai, trying to figure out what their relationship was.
Xia Qingmai heard Sun Fugui introduce that the vice-captain of the team lived next door to them. The vice-captain's wife was very good at home and abroad, but she was always talkative and liked to join in the fun.
Because he knew who the sister-in-law next door was, Xia Qingmai nodded generously and said, "Sister-in-law Hu, this is my second uncle's comrade, Fugui's former leader in the army."
"Uncle Qin came to Yu An on a business trip and happened to stop by to see me and Fugui."
When the sister-in-law next door heard that Qin Shengli was from the army, she immediately greeted her enthusiastically: "Brother, your uncle has done a good job, and he still wants to see the young couple. It's almost noon today, come home for dinner ah?"
Hearing her sister-in-law's warm greeting to Uncle Qin to come to her house for dinner, Xia Qingmai hurried to see Uncle Qin.
Facing the enthusiastic Sister-in-law Hu, the smile on Qin Shengli's face did not change, and he did not forget to reply: "Thank you, I have work this afternoon, so I will leave first."
After saying this to Sister-in-law Hu, Qin Shengli also turned to look at Xia Qingmai and said, "Take the child back. There is no need to send it off. I will come later when I have time. It's close."
Xia Qingmai understood what Qin Shengli meant, and thinking that the bureau was not far from the transportation team, she nodded obediently and said: "Then be careful on the road. When Fugui comes back, I will ask him to find you."
After Qin Shengli listened to Xia Qingmai's words, he neither refused nor agreed. He waved to her and left.
After watching Uncle Qin leave, Xia Qingmai just turned around and met Sister-in-law Hu's curious gaze.
"Fugui's wife, weren't you and Fugui introduced by your second aunt? How come your uncle became the leader before he became Fugui?"
Not to mention Sister-in-law Hu, even Xia Qingmai just found out about this matter.
However, Xia Qingmai's intuition told her that Sun Fugui had probably known about this for a long time.
Thoughts swirled around in his mind without delaying Xia Qingmai's words.
"My sister-in-law asked this question well. I'm also surprised. My second aunt didn't say it in detail at first. I was a big girl at that time, so I didn't have the nerve to ask so many questions."
"When Fugui comes back, I'll ask my sister-in-law clearly."
Xia Qingmai's words spoke to Sister-in-law Hu's heart.
Seeing that Xia Qingmai, the new daughter-in-law, was not as coy as the other daughters-in-law, nor was she unhappy because of her inquiries, Sister-in-law Hu also happily answered: "You still have your appetite for me, Qingmai, sister-in-law My mother-in-law just sent two big pumpkins yesterday, just wait while my sister-in-law cuts some for you."
By the time she finished speaking, Sister-in-law Hu had already walked to her outhouse.
Looking at Sister-in-law Hu's hurried back, Xia Qingmai said, "No, no, no," and walked quickly towards her home.
Unexpectedly, before she reached the door of her house, Sister-in-law Hu walked out with a pumpkin as big as two palms.
"Take it and take it. I grow it in front of and behind my house. My two brothers bring me vegetables every week. Our family is not short of it."
Sister-in-law Hu is so enthusiastic that Xia Qingmai, a newly married daughter-in-law, is no match for her.
During the push, if she hadn't been steady, she might have fallen down.
Are all middle-aged women these days so powerful?
