Chapter 147 A Thorn in My Heart
Chapter 147 A Thorn in My Heart
Qin Dabao took out the roe deer and had already cut it up in the space. There were 40 to 50 kilograms of meat, enough for the family to eat for ten days to half a month.
It's a shame for him to eat like this. These 40 to 50 kilograms of meat are enough to feed a family of eight for half a year.
He took out another wild goat. It was almost spring now, and it was a good time to eat mutton to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, nourish the liver and improve eyesight, and replenish blood and warm the meridians.
Aunt Xu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Dabao, are you going hunting again?"
"Yes, I just came back yesterday. I shot a few wild boars and roe deer."
Pears, half a basket of apples, cucumbers, tomatoes, and so on were taken out. If outsiders saw this, they would be envious to death.
As the nanny of the chief's family, Aunt Xu was used to seeing and eating all sorts of food, but she was still amazed at the sight of these. At this time of year, there were actually fresh fruits and vegetables? This was too strange.
However, as a nanny, the first thing you need to do is to keep your mouth shut. There are some things that you can't say even if you want to keep them in your heart, let alone ask about them.
Dabao took out two more roast ducks, which were for dinner.
He was so busy that he just remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch. He took a box of biscuits from the cupboard and ate them while walking out of the kitchen.
He looked around but didn't see Erbao and Wenwen. Aunt Xu told him that Erbao was teaching his sister how to write upstairs.
The old lady waved and said, "Come here, grandson. Grandma has knitted a sweater for you. Try it on."
Qin Dabao took off his cotton-padded jacket with a smile, took the sweater and said, "Let me try."
A black sweater made of thick yarn. Nowadays, sweaters only come in black and gray, which is nothing new.
Dabao put on the sweater, the size was just right,
The old lady pulled him to sit down, tugged at his sweater, and nodded with satisfaction.
Dou Linglong also changed her clothes and went downstairs. She looked at the sweater and said, "Mom, you are right about the size. It's perfect."
Niu Niu was standing aside, eating the biscuits her brother put down with a sly smile.
Qin Dabao sat down, pulled Niu Niu into his arms, and kissed her on the little face. Niu Niu giggled.
Dou Linglong and the old lady exchanged glances, and the old lady said with some embarrassment: "Grandson, your grandfather called last night and wanted to discuss something with you."
Qin Dabao swallowed the biscuit that Niuniu stuffed into his mouth: "Um... Grandma, please tell me."
The old lady looked very embarrassed and hesitated for a moment: "Your grandfather said that your uncle and aunt don't have children and want to register Wenwen with them."
"Okay." Dabao pinched Niuniu's little face, turned around and answered with a smile.
"Ah?" The old lady and the aunt-in-law didn't expect Dabao to answer so straightforwardly.
"Grandma, as long as Wenwen agrees to this, my mom, dad and I have no objection."
In fact, Dabao had already anticipated this. His aunt-in-law wanted to tell him last time, but she didn't because she was afraid that Lu Xiu'e would disagree.
These days, my aunt-in-law and Wenwen get along very well, and Wenwen relies on her very much. My aunt-in-law then asked her mother-in-law to talk to Dabao, after all, Wenwen listens to Dabao the most.
The old lady's eyes were moist. She came from a scholarly family and attached great importance to inheritance. Having no successors was a big taboo for the family. Their Lu family had fought on the battlefield for many years. Was it possible that the foundation they laid would be given away to outsiders for nothing?
So what was the point of them working so hard? As for those slogans about serving the country and the people, they were just for others to hear. In the end, family was the most important thing.
The old lady has come to terms with the death of her youngest son. After all, it has already happened and being sad about it will not help. Besides, her youngest son left her at the age of three, and her feelings for him have faded. All she feels is guilt.
Now that the daughter has been found, the Lu family has two sons. Even though the two children have the surname Qin instead of Lu, it doesn't matter. After all, they have half of the Lu family's blood flowing in their bodies.
Dabao and Erbao are both very smart, especially Erbao, who has finished the third grade curriculum, but he is only seven years old.
For the sake of these two children, Mr. and Mrs. Lu would go through fire and water without even frowning.
This is inheritance.
Fortunately, Qin Dabao's values have been formed. He is over eighty years old in his two lives combined, and his personality has been determined. Otherwise, if the old man and the old lady had spoiled him like this, it would be strange if he didn't become a playboy.
My younger aunt was even happier. Less than half an hour later, my older aunt also came back and laughed happily as soon as she entered the door.
She flew back to Beijing from Shanghai the day before yesterday. Qin Dabao had already met her.
My aunt Bai Xiuying was from Northeast China. After the September 37th Incident, the village was massacred by the Japanese because it harbored anti-Japanese fighters. Only three people escaped from the entire village, and one of them was her. In 15, when she was years old, Bai Xiuying killed the Japanese major who killed her hometown in Fengtian City, then fled to the interior and joined the Eighth Route Army.
This is a heroine who is as brave as any man. My aunt has a bad temper and she eats a lot of food from my uncle, who is well-known for his tracheitis.
The old lady is very satisfied with the two daughters-in-law, one is carefree and the other is careful and considerate.
When the old lady saw her eldest daughter-in-law rushing in, she couldn't help but smile.
The aunt hugged Qin Dabao in her arms, pinched his face and rubbed his head. Dabao was almost going crazy. Ever since the aunt met him, she treated him like her own son. She was extremely patriarchal.
"Big son, big son, smash it," Bai Xiuying is cheerful and generous. People from Northeast China are never hypocritical.
Qin Dabao knew that there was a thorn in the hearts of his aunt and younger aunt that would bleed if touched, because they had not left a descendant for the Lu family. In the past, they often saw the old man and the old lady sighing, and both of them wanted to die, but they could not bear to leave their husbands, so they had no choice but to endure the pain.
Now everything is settled. With the two sons of my eldest sister-in-law, all their worries are gone. Don't blame them for being patriarchal. In this era, if you don't have a son, your family will be extinct, and no one will look down on families with extinct families.
Why is Yi Zhonghai always jumping up and down? Does he really need retirement? Isn't it just that he can't stand the evil fire of extinction?
The little aunt-in-law was also crying with joy. Due to historical reasons, she and Qin Liye had lost the right to be parents forever. However, from Dabao's brother and sister, she fully understood the feeling of being a mother, especially Wenwen and Niuniu. Dou Linglong was definitely regarded as the apple of her eye.
At this time, if anyone dared to touch Qin Dabao and Erbao, Bai Xiuying would definitely pull out her gun and kill them without hesitation, and no one would be able to stop her.
Dabao's face flushed red, and he hid behind the old lady while rubbing his face. The old lady smiled and hit her daughter-in-law: "Be careful, don't scare my grandson."
Bai Xiuying giggled and carried Niuniu upstairs. The three little ones were in trouble again. Soon, laughter was heard from upstairs.
Whenever Dabao is at home, he is asked to cook, and his cooking skills are recognized to be good.
Now is a good season for eating mutton, so Qin Dabao decided to stew mutton ribs, stir-fry two vegetarian dishes, and add candied pork elbow and braised pork. Few people can prepare such a feast nowadays.
For the first time today, Lu Jianbang left work half an hour early. He first went to the school to pick up his two daughters, and then returned to the military compound.
Lu Jianbang was happy when he saw Dabao cooking. This kid’s cooking was delicious. Lu Tong and Lu Li were not afraid of their father but their mother. When they heard that their mother was upstairs, they didn’t dare to go upstairs. They hid at the kitchen door and talked about school things happily with their cousin.
Sure enough, the food cooked by Qin Dabao was praised by his family. Dabao was very happy because he loved seeing his family’s smiling faces the most.
After dinner, his two sisters kept pestering him not to leave. Qin Dabao had no choice but to play with Wenwen and Niuniu until dark. Then he left and went home. Dabao was not used to living at his grandmother's house, and his parents often worked overtime recently, so he was worried about Cuicui being alone at home.
