Poor couple [MTL]

Chapter 38 Back to my parents' house

Li Qiluo threw the peanuts into her mouth, The peanuts were fried crispy in the pot and chewed very fragrant, She looked at Qin Ziyuan funny: "Why?"

Qin Ling glanced at Qin Ziyuan again.

Qin Ziyuan was still unconsciously leaning on Li Qiluo, and pointed at each other embarrassedly: "Because I want to defeat Brother Zizhou!"

Li Qiluo wanted to be happy, but he didn't expect Qin Ziyuan to be a little bit younger, and his competitiveness was quite strong, but it was good for children to exercise more: "Then you can follow me and your little uncle to practice in the morning."

Qin Ziyuan opened his mouth a little in disbelief, that slow twisting and twisting action was really useful? Can he really rely on this to defeat Qin Zizhou?

The child's mind was all on his face, Li Qiluo could see what he was thinking at a glance, and nodded his little nose: "I just practice that to throw your brother Zizhou so high!"

Qin Ziyuan's mouth opened wide in a flash, the little aunt is so powerful, is this how she practiced? Then if he practiced, he wouldn't be invincible to fight all the friends in the village in the future!

Qin Ziyuan's excited cheeks were crimson, and his eyes were bright with excitement, "Okay, I'll learn from my little aunt in the future!"

When Li Qiluo nodded Qin Ziyuan's nose, Qin Ling's action of peeling peanuts suddenly stopped, then lowered his head, and put the peanut into a small dish next to him after peeling it.

Li Qiluo likes Qin Ziyuan's child, lively and cute, and there is no other child's coquettishness and unreasonableness, she was amused by Qin Ziyuan's excited appearance, and was about to tease him a few more words, Qin Ling suddenly approached, and handed over the peeled half plate of peanuts: "Qiluo, give."

Li Qiluo had seen him peeling peanuts before, but he didn't expect to peel them for himself, so he forgot about Qin Ziyuan directly, took the plate, grabbed one and stuffed it into Qin Ling's mouth: "You eat it too."

Li Qiluo stuffed it into Qin Ling's mouth like this under Qin Ling's defenselessness, and before he could react, Li Qiluo had already withdrawn his hand, but what his tongue had just touched, he was sure that it was not wrong, it was Li Qiluo's fingers.

Li Qiluo also stuffed one into her mouth, feeling that this peanut was particularly fragrant, she asked Qin Ling: "Is it delicious?"

Qin Ling took a quick look at Li Qiluo's slender fingers, and his eyes deepened: "Well, it's delicious."

"Eat more if it's delicious." Li Qiluo smiled and handed the plate to Qin Ling again, in his puzzled eyes, he grabbed a large handful, then pinched it with his hand, and rubbed it again, the peanut shell mixed with the red skin fell down, she opened her hand, and the peanut she was holding became a clean peanut.

"Xianggong, eat with confidence, I'll peel as much as you eat!" Li Qiluo also put the handful of peanuts into the plate that Qin Ling was holding, and grabbed a handful again.

Qin Ling: "....." He still eats peanuts silently.

A few small people next to them looked at Li Qiluo's hand, and they all let out exclamations, not only Qin Ziyuan was far away, but even Qin Zihao and Qin Ziru struggled out of their old mother's arms and surrounded Li Qiluo with admiration on their faces.

"Little aunt, teach me, teach me..."Qin Ziyuan couldn't wait to shout.

"Call me, call me..."Qin Zihao also shouted.

Qin Ziru's words were not good, so he screamed.

Surrounded by three cute little cubs, Li Qiluo enjoyed it very much, and booed them mysteriously, successfully quieting down the three little ones: "Look at it!" As soon as she rubbed her hands, the peanut shells and skins fell from her fingers like rain.

"Wow," the three little ones exclaimed and laughed at each other.

Qin Ling looked at the peanuts on the plate, and then looked at the more and more imps around Li Qiluo, silently picked up a peanut and stuffed it into his mouth again, but this one didn't taste as good as before.

He glanced at the three small ones and Li Qiluo a few more times, and finally leaned over as if inadvertently, and said softly: "Qiluo, don't peel it, it's enough here."

Ma Dani hurriedly said, "Third brother, don't you eat peanuts and give them to us." "You can eat it without peeling it, how nice it is.

Qin Ling's hand holding the plate quietly tightened, and said to Ma Dani with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, peel it yourself, Qiluo is very tired of peeling these."

Ma Dani: "...."Could it be that she is blind, and the third brother and sister are very tired of peeling like that?"

When Li Qiluo heard Qin Ling's words, his heart was sweet, and his action of pinching peanuts slowed down, as if it was very difficult, and he said while pinching: "Yes, Xianggong, I'm so tired."

"Well, I'll peel it for you." Qin Ling naturally took the peanuts in Li Qiluo's hand and peeled them one by one.

Ma Dani: "....."

Qin Yao was busy beside him: "Daughter-in-law, I'll peel it for you, and I'll peel as much as you eat." "The third child, tsk, stingy....

Ma Dani leaned towards Qin Yao: "Xianggong, you are so good~~"

Zhang Cuicui glanced at Qin Yao, and then at Qin Fen, who has always been insensitive to these, somehow understood the meaning in Zhang Cuicui's eyes this time, and grabbed a large handful of peanuts with a smile: "Child, me, I'll peel it for you."

He worked on the farm all year round, and when he was not working, he had to go to the wharf to carry the work, and his hands were covered with wind and frost, rough and cracked in some places.

Zhang Cuicui looked like she had been pricked in her heart, she looked at Qin Yao and Qin Ling's hands again, the strong contrast made her feel more and more distressed, she couldn't help but her eyes were wet, and she coughed and said, "Dad, I'll peel it."

Qin Fenle laughed: "It's okay, my hands are rough, and it doesn't take much effort to peel them off."

When Zhang Cuicui heard this, she hurriedly brushed her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, and her heart became more and more determined to learn embroidery.

Qin's father and Qin's mother looked at their sons and daughters-in-law, and somehow all of a sudden, everyone peeled peanuts together and looked at each other.

Father Qin: ".... Damn, I'll peel it for you. "It's all some goods that have married a daughter-in-law and forgot their mother, and he is the only one who hurts the old woman!

Qin's mother's face was a little red, but the light was too dim to be seen, "I'll peel it myself, what's the matter if you eat a peanut at such an old age?"

Father Qin quietly nodded a few sons, shook his head, grabbed a handful of peanuts, peeled one and put one into Qin's mother's hand.

The three little ones were still watching Li Qiluo peel peanuts with great interest, but after Qin Ling said enough, Li Qiluo stopped peeling them, and the two of them changed to feeding, you feed me one, and I feed you one.

Qin Ziyuan kept his mouth open at first, but after waiting for a while, he saw that the little uncle and little aunt didn't see him at all.

What's so fun about feeding peanuts? He felt bored, so he wanted to go back to Zhang Cuicui, but he didn't want to look back, his father was also feeding peanuts to his mother.

"Mother?"

Zhang Cuicui didn't respond.

"Daddy?"

Qin Fen didn't respond.

Qin Ziyuan pursed his lips, looked at the two ignorant little ones, and his face bulged, "What's the big deal, I will also peel it, Zihao, Ziru, brother will also peel it for you!" "

As for Qin Fang, he quietly returned to the house when the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The Chinese New Year's Eve passed like this, and the three little ones dozed off in a daze, and I don't know when everyone stopped peeling peanuts.

In the morning, when he got up with Zihao, he was dressed up like a ball by Zhang Cuicui, and he greeted the elders in the family next to him. Qin's mother gave each of the three small ones a red envelope, and each red envelope contained three pennies.

A few little ones like something.

Unexpectedly, the surprise was still to come, Li Qiluo also gave the three little ones a red envelope, did not cross Qin's mother, and gave two texts, which made the three little ones almost crazy, and shouted that the little aunt was so good.

Ziyuan and Zihao were relieved to give the red envelope to Zhang Cuicui for safekeeping, it was Ziru, although she was not yet two years old, but she also knew that as long as the things were in her mother's hands, they would not give it to her again, so as soon as she got the red envelope, she was busy stuffing it into her clothes.

The partial people are small, and they wear a lot, and they can't hide in for a long time, so they are so anxious that they only stomp their feet.

At this time, Ma Dani stretched out her hand to the two red envelopes in Ziru's hand: "Ziru, you are still young, your mother will help you keep it, don't lose it if you take it."

Ziru hurriedly hid the red envelope behind her back.

"You kid, a child, what are you doing with so much money?" After finishing speaking, he still accepted Ziru's red envelope.

Ziru didn't cry, but just looked at the red envelope in Ma Dani's hand.

Children's red envelopes are all collected by adults, and they are generally collected and collected, and they are gone, and everyone is like this. However, Ma Dani got the money, and it was likely to be squandered, Qin's mother was worried and advised: "If you want to keep it for her, you can keep it, if you let me know that you can't save it, see if I don't clean you up."

Ma Dani sneered: "Mother, how can this be."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, to pay New Year's greetings to the ancestors, this activity can only be done by the men in the family, Qin's mother prepared paper money and firecrackers for several fathers and sons, and then took a few daughters-in-law and daughters to stand far away.

Although Ziyuan and Zihao are small, they are also men in the family, and they are eligible to be taken to the grave of their ancestors to worship. In this society, the hierarchy between men and women is clearly drawn with such strict rules that cannot be crossed by one step.

How ironic it is ironic that a woman marries into a family and gives birth to children for her, so that the family can be continued, but in the end even the ancestors are cut off.

Greeting the ancestors is a very solemn and serious event, even if Qin's mother stood in the distance with a few daughters-in-law and Qin Fang, she also bowed slightly to the ancestral grave of the Qin family.

Everyone worshipped, but Li Qiluo was still stunned.

Mother Qin thought she didn't know the rules, so she said, "Qiluo, you can also say goodbye."

"Oh." Li Qiluo came back to his senses, and the obedient bowed slightly towards the place of the ancestral tomb of the Qin family, his movements were standard, and there was no contempt on his face. If she doesn't challenge her principles, obeying the social rules here can make her life better, and she naturally won't deliberately highlight her differences.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the ancestors are greeted for the New Year, the people in the village go door to door to greet each other.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, this is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' home.

Zhang Cuicui and Ma Dani's maiden family are in the next village, and they got up early in the morning to Zhang Luo, this year's Qin family's life is a little more generous, and Qin's mother is also a lot more generous when she takes back the door gifts for several daughters-in-law.

Zhang Cuicui is very happy to be able to take a little more things, Ma Dani is dispensable, in her mind, take it back to her parents' house and fall into the hands of her sister-in-law, it is better for her to eat it herself!

Qin's mother prepared things for Zhang Cuicui and Ma Dani, and looked at Li Qiluo for embarrassment; The current Qin family has long been incomparable with the Li family, and Li Qiluo was married to the Qin family instead. Mother Qin really wanted to bring Li Qiluo a little more things to support her, so that the Li family knew that this daughter-in-law and their Li family should not take it seriously, but their Qin family is very precious.

But what to bring? Even if the current Qin family is emptied, I am afraid that the Li family will not look down on it.

"Kira, what are you going to do when you go back to your parents' house?" Qin's mother didn't have a good decision, so she asked Li Qiluo.

When Li Qiluo heard this, he put down the needle and thread in his hand, walked to Qin's mother's side, and put his arm around her: "Mother, bring some with you, they can't look down on them anyway." If possible, she didn't want to go back to the Li family at all, but Qin Ling would study and test for fame in the future, and if she didn't visit him once a year, she was afraid that it would hinder his reputation.

As soon as Qin's mother thought about it, she put the same thing according to Zhang Cuicui and Ma Dani's standards, and patted the back of Li Qiluo's hand at the end: "Go back and take a look, no matter what kind of in-laws are your father, if you can't sit still for a while, you can go home."

"Mother, I know." Li Qiluo took the things prepared by Qin's mother and beckoned to Qin Ling: "Xianggong, let's go." "After exercising for more than two months, plus food supplements, Qin Ling's whole body has become more energetic, and now it should be no big problem to go to the county like this.

"Hmm." Qin Ling immediately stood up, shook the winter coat that Li Qiluo made for him, and walked to Li Qiluo to take the things in her hand.

Li Qiluo dodged: "I'll take it, I'll take it, just don't be tired."

Qin Ling smiled helplessly, feeling for the first time that Li Qiluo's strength was not all a good thing.

The two of them went out of the courtyard gate, but they heard Qin's mother standing at the gate of the courtyard and shouting to them, "Ling'er, you protect Qiluo, don't let her be wronged in the Li family." "The child who has no mother, begging for a living under his mother-in-law, can also be seen from the attitude of the Li family who ignored Li Qiluo after he married him, but I am afraid that Master Li himself did not take this daughter seriously.

Qin Ling glanced at Li Qiluo and said to Qin's mother: "I know, mother, you go back to the house, it's cold outside."

Mother Qin was so worried about her, Li Qiluo's heart was warm, she looked at Mother Qin, who was waving to them with the door frame, and shouted: "Don't worry, mother!" "She's not a dumpling rice ball that is flattened and kneaded by others.

Ma Dani stood in the hall and looked hot: "My mother is really sad about the third brother and sister!" Then she glanced at Zhang Cuicui: "Yes, sister-in-law?"

Zhang Cuicui didn't speak, she sped up the action of collecting things, and after putting it away, she went to the house and called Qin Fen and the two children, said hello to Qin's father and Qin's mother, and walked out of the gate of Qin's house.

Ma Dani sighed, put away her things slowly, and then Qin Yao and Ziru reluctantly walked out of the gate of the Qin family, her mother is gone, her father has never hurt her, and when she goes back to her parents' house, she just looks at her sister-in-law's eyes, if she doesn't have to go back this day, she doesn't want to see her sister-in-law's horse face!

Qin's mother glanced at Qin's father who was smoking, and then at Qin Fang, who was holding a pair of Li Qiluo's embroidery, and waved her hand happily: "There is no one today, let's just eat some casually."

Qin Fang didn't care, but Qin's father took a puff of cigarette, and he didn't know how to answer Qin's mother's words: Isn't he human?

Li QiluoWalking to the entrance of the village with Qin Ling, he found that many women were walking here with men and children, these were naturally people who went back to their parents' homes, of course, after a while, there would be another wave of women and men with children from other villages to Xiaoqing Village, this is the girl who returned to her parents' house!

When they got out of the village, they were the only ones walking in the direction of the county seat, Li Qiluo saw that the snow on the ground was still very thick, she rolled her eyes and came to Qin Ling: "Xianggong, do you want me to carry you?"

Qin Ling's heart moved, he looked at Li Qiluo's back, and finally shook his head: he was reluctant. However, with every step he took, he moved closer to Li Qiluo, and in the end, the two almost rubbed shoulders.

Of course, Li Qiluo noticed Qin Ling's movements, and snickered in his heart, but he didn't see it, and walked forward without squinting, and the pace under his feet deliberately sped up a little.
As soon as
her steps quickened, Qin Ling had to trot to keep up.

Looking at the corners of Li Qiluo's snickering mouth, how could he not understand that this was Li Qiluo deliberately teasing him? He smiled at Li Qiluo's back helplessly and dotingly, and didn't ask Li Qiluo to wait for him, and accelerated his pace again.

He trotted to keep up with Li Qiluo's steps, reluctantly followed her, quietly looked at Li Qiluo as he ran, and finally couldn't help but reach out and want to hold Li Qiluo.

However, as soon as he was about to approach, Li Qiluo was a little faster, and the hands of the two of them chased after me.

Qin Ling shook his head, slowed down, and his breathing became heavier.

"Kira..."

When Li Qiluo saw it, he hurriedly turned back, secretly scolding himself for being careless, knowing that Qin Ling was not in good health, and still playing like this!" Xianggong, are you alright? Are you tired? Li Qiluo silently asked Qin Ling's cheeks.

Qin Ling let Li Qiluo touch his face, and when she was about to put it down, she suddenly grabbed Li Qiluo's hand, and clasped her ten fingers, tightly sewing them.

"You lied to me?" Li Qiluo pointed to the interlocking hands of the two and opened his mouth.

"Hmm." Qin Ling was half a head taller than Li Qiluo, he lowered his head slightly, and the eyes of the two collided.

Qin Ling's good-looking eyes were deep and soft at this time, and he used his other hand to comb a strand of Li Qiluo's hair floating on his forehead: "Because I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you."

Li Qiluo lowered his head and kicked the snow with his foot: "That.. Then you say. Why lie to me! "It's not a deterrent at all, and even the voice is a little floating.

Qin Ling chuckled, slowly approached Li Qiluo, the two of them touched their foreheads, and said in a low voice, "I won't lie to you in the future." The warm breath wrapped around the two of them, Li Qiluo's body shook, and the whole person was dizzy as if he had been anesthetic.

Behind was Qin Ling holding Li Qiluo's hand and walking to the county seat at his pace.

Looking at the gate of the county seat, Li Qiluo: "...."It's here so soon, why doesn't she know?"

Qin Ling looked at Li Qiluo's rare confused appearance, the smile deepened in his eyes, and he held Li Qiluo's hand without letting go: "Let's go." 

The two arrived at Master Li's house, the door of the Li family was closed, and there was a piece of paper with firecrackers in front of the door, Qin Ling led Li Qiluo to the door and knocked on the door of the Li family gently.

Li Qiluo looked at this door carefully, the memory of the original owner was extremely unfamiliar with this door, she was locked in the backyard by Mrs. Li since she was a child, almost isolated her from the outside world, and she didn't even have much impression when she saw the door of her own house where she grew up.

With a squeak, the door was opened, and an old man with half a hundred hair came out, he didn't know Qin Ling, "Who are you looking for..."

"Second Miss!"

Li Qiluo laughed: "Fu Bo." "Fu Bo is the housekeeper of the Li family, and he is in charge of the dispatch and procurement of the few subordinates of the Li family, so he has more contact with the original owner.

"Second Miss is really you, oops, this is my uncle. I'm going to report to the old lady. After Fu Bo finished speaking, he hurriedly went into Li's house to report.

After a while, Fu Bo came out again, but at this moment, the joy on his face was much less: "Second Miss, uncle, my lord asked me to take you in." 

That's interesting! The old man commanded, but did not mention Mrs. Li, is Mrs. Li not at home?

It wasn't until Fu Bo brought Li Qiluo and Qin Ling to the hall that he found that Mrs. Li was sitting upright on the main seat, holding the ledger in her hand and talking to a mother-in-law, and Master Li was drinking tea.

Master Li is thin and has a fair face, even if he has an elderly beard on his chin, he looks like a middle-aged beautiful uncle.

It's the same, otherwise even if Li Yue'e wouldn't be so beautiful, even if she was the original owner, her appearance was also very delicate and lovely.

When they came in, Master Li didn't even blink his eyelids.

If it is the original owner, seeing his father's attitude, I am afraid that I will be sad for a while, but unfortunately, Li Qiluo is not the original owner, and this nominal father can't pierce her heart no matter what.

According to the memory of the original owner, she gave Master Li and Mrs. Li a salute, and called Daddy.

Qin Ling arched his hand and said gently: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."

Master Li raised his head at this time, and hummed, but he directly ignored Li Qiluo, but first glanced at Qin Ling up and down, "Your body looks a lot better..." It was also because of Qin Ling's appearance that he finally made up his mind to agree to Mrs. Li's idea of marrying instead. In fact, he had always been optimistic about Qin Ling before...

Qin Ling glanced at Li Qiluo: "Father-in-law Lao bothered, thanks to Qiluo's good care." It is Xiaoxu's blessing to be able to have a lady as a wife.

Master Li stretched out his voice, and finally moved his gaze to Li Qiluo, and at this look, he realized that this little daughter who was always a little childish in his memory was a little different.

She stood in the hall, without deliberately holding on, and the confident and not arrogant bearing on her body was naturally revealed.

Mrs. Li also raised her head at this time.
