Under Zhao Cao'er's iron palm, Dabao defended himself hoarsely, but it was of no use. He was still beaten by Fatty. Even Qin Xiaoxiao's plea was of no use.

After beating Dabao, Zhao Cao'er felt refreshed and went to the kitchen to cook dinner. Lin Qiuniang persuaded Mrs. Miao who was going to help, and put on her apron and went in to do the beating.

Mr. Qin and his son were not idle either. They took Qin He around the newly decorated new house to see if there was anything he wanted to buy.

The layout of the three new houses is very simple. They are connected in a row, and each has four large main rooms. Not counting the living room for entertaining guests, the other three main rooms can be divided into six small rooms, which are enough for the family.

In addition to the main room, two small rooms were built on both sides of the front door. This small room can be used as a firewood room and a utility room, or even as a guest room.

A whole row of small houses was built in the backyard opposite the main house. Three of them are used as kitchens. The other small houses can be used to raise livestock and store things. What to do depends on your own arrangements.

Such a spacious house is all made of blue bricks and tiles, and the exterior walls have been painted. It looks clean and bright. Since it was built, it has attracted many people to stop, including people from other villages.

Came here specially to see it.

However, the wealth that the Qin family had saved for many years was almost wiped out by these three houses.

After looking at the front and back of the house, Qin He walked into his new house on the right.

But when he saw the huanghuali Eight Immortals table placed in the hall, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at Mr. Qin's tongue-tied voice and said, "Dad, what is going on? You shouldn't be..."

Didn't you go to the bank to borrow usury money just to make him look good?

No wonder Qin He thought this way, not to mention how rare high-quality huanghuali is. Just the cost of transporting it from the south, thousands of miles away, is a huge expense, and it is simply not something a small family can afford.

Mr. Qin didn't know what his youngest son was thinking. He touched the well-made and elegant Eight Immortals table and said angrily: "Do you think you are a treasure and worthy of me doing such stupid things for you? These are all sent by Mr. Jing.

, congratulations on the completion of our new home."

It’s not that they didn’t refuse, it’s that they couldn’t refuse at all. In order to prevent them from returning the things that day, the people who sent the things knelt on the ground and kowtowed. They only knew that once the things were returned, they would be sold by Mr. Jing to dig in Beihuang.

mine.

The Qin family knew Jingheng's uncompromising character, so they only compromised in front of Qin Xiaoxiao. They couldn't resist those people's pleas, so they had to accept these valuable belongings and find ways to return the favor later.

Qin He breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "Master Jing values ​​Xiaoxiao so much that he is so generous. But he is also a child, and the elders in his family may not allow him to do this."

He is not afraid that Young Master Jing's family will come to his door to cause trouble, but he is just afraid that they will mistakenly think that he has used his little niece to deceive Young Master Jing, coax good things from Young Master Jing, and then make his niece feel wronged later.

Mr. Qin heard the unfinished meaning in his younger son's words, waved his hand and said: "Mr. Jing has been friends with Xiaoxiao for almost two years, and no one has ever stopped him from communicating with our family. He must know that Mr. Jing is smart and will not take it easy.

It can make our family happy."

Now that the third child has become the number one scholar, it is no surprise that the official will become bigger and bigger, the family will become older and more prosperous, and the good things owed to Mr. Jing will always be paid back.

Qin He became the number one scholar, but he still believed in Mr. Qin. When the old man said this, the pressure in his heart was relieved, and he could look at the furniture with appreciation: "Huanghuali is good, but the carpenter's craftsmanship is even better!

"

There is one copy of these huanghuali in each of the three new houses. Except for Qin Xiaoxiao's bed, which was made by more than a dozen carpenters for two months, the others are the same.

Because time is too tight, only Qin He's new house is decorated now. Under the urging of Mr. Qin, Qin He had to look inside and outside, but there was nothing to add or improve. He wanted to move in tonight.

No problem.

Even more than half of the floor tiles in the other two houses have not been laid, and the stove in the kitchen house has not been completed. All these can only be done after Qin He's marriage is completed.

Fortunately, Qinshan Qinchuan is not in a hurry to live in a new house. Anyway, the house will not grow away if it is placed here. This is a place where they will live for a lifetime, and the brothers plan to slowly improve it and move in after it is completely completed.

On the other side, Qin Xiaoxiao hugged Dabao's arm tightly and refused to let go: "Brother, it was me who caused you to get beaten. Can you forgive me?"

Dabao had a straight face and said angrily: "No! Let me go and stay away from me!"

"No, I won't let go unless big brother forgives me!" Qin Xiaoxiao played a trick and hung directly on Dabao's arm, causing Dabao to lose his balance and almost fall to the ground.

"You, please let go, don't you know that you are as heavy as a piglet?" Dabao stretched out his other hand and tightly grabbed the little girl's skirt, his face turned red from holding it back.

"I let go, big brother, can you forgive me??" Qin Xiaoxiao was also afraid of falling, so she quickly landed on her feet and looked at Dabao eagerly.

Dabao touched his still hot butt and shook his head to express his rejection: "I just forgive you, otherwise my spanking will be in vain!"

Qin Xiaoxiao saw hope and quickly promised: "As long as eldest brother doesn't blame me, I will spend the remaining New Year's money to buy candies for eldest brother!"

Dabao was a little moved, and then shook his head: "If grandpa and the others know about it, they might think that I have taken your money, and then I will have to be beaten again."

"No, no, we just don't tell grandpa and they will be fine." Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to assure Dabao, turning around and running back to the house to get the new year's money.

"Okay, okay, who wants money from your little girl's movie? If you spread the word, it will make people laugh to death!" Dabao pulled out the back collar of his little cousin, pulled her back, and gnashed his teeth and pulled out her hair: "It's really

owe you!"

Qin Xiaoxiao knew that he didn't blame her anymore, and she suddenly smiled: "Hehe, I knew that eldest brother would not blame me, eldest brother is the best!"

Dabao snorted and rubbed her little pussy into a mess before stopping: "Forget it this time, next time you do things like cheating on me, I won't take care of you!"

Qin Xiaoxiao shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I will be a fool if I try to trick my elder brother again!"

Dabao sneered and poked her forehead: "She is just a little fool!"

Qin Xiao smiled and refused, holding Dabao's arm and acting coquettishly, asking him not to call her a little fool.

The two laughed and joked for a while, and Dabao suddenly sighed: "My third uncle and my third aunt were beaten before I even saw the bridal chamber. The adults will definitely be on guard when the day comes, and we won't have the chance to see it."

Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and thought of an idea: "There are many cabinets in the new house, and they are all empty. Let's hide in the cabinets then."

Dabao was speechless: "You are a fool and you are still making trouble with me. The adults didn't see us wandering outside, so they must know that we are hiding and causing mischief. Do you think they don't know how to open the cabinet and look for it?"

Qin Xiaoxiao scratched his head and said distressedly: "What should we do? We can't watch the third uncle and the third aunt's bridal chamber. The beating I received will be in vain."

Dabao unconsciously rubbed the top of her chicken coop-like hair, and all kinds of crooked ideas were surging in his mind. Unexpectedly, he actually thought of it: "Yes, let's do this!"

He clapped his hands fiercely, lowered his head to Qin Xiaoxiao's ear, and said something like this. At the end, he patted her little head and asked, "Do you remember?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes shone, and he nodded his head: "Remember it, remember it, the adults will definitely not find out!"

Dabao comforted: "It's okay even if you are discovered. If you hold Grandpa's lap and cry, no one will blame you."

After he finished speaking, a bubble of sourness arose in his heart: They both have the same surname of Qin, so why is there such a big difference...

In the evening, Zhao Cao'er and Lin Qiuniang prepared a table of good food, and the family ate it lively.

The grown men were in such a good mood that they had a rare drinking session with the acquiescence of Mr. Qin. However, none of the four of them drank very well. After a few bowls of rice wine, they became confused and muttered about the age.

Old things.

Speaking of the sad part, Mr. Qin, who had always been strong, also had red eyes. He picked up the wine bowl, patted Qin He's shoulder and said proudly: "Our Qin family has been in decline for two hundred years, and we have been looking forward to it for two hundred years, and finally we are looking forward to it.

You, a promising person, deserve to be my son!"

Qin He also thought of all that Han Chuang had experienced in the past ten years. His throat seemed to be choked by something. He picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Mr. Qin: "Dad, my son respects you!"

After that, drink it all in one gulp.

"Haha, okay!" Mr. Qin laughed and raised his head, not a drop left in the wine bowl.

Qin Shan and Qin Chuan also came to join in the fun and took Qin He to toast. The last few people didn't eat much of the food, and their stomachs were full of wine.

The four fathers and sons had good drinks. When they got drunk, they just sat at the table in a daze, and did not go crazy with the alcohol. In the end, Mrs. Miao and others helped them back to the room, and they drank a bowl of honey water each, and they snored loudly.

Went to sleep.

The women couldn't go to bed right away, so they washed the pots and pans, boiled water and took a bath before returning to their rooms and lying down.

Just when Mrs. Miao was half asleep and half awake, the snoring in her ears suddenly stopped, and she heard Mr. Qin say: "After the third child's marriage, let's divide the family!"

Mrs. Miao's drowsiness was instantly frightened away. She sat up suddenly and looked at Mr. Qin. She could only see a vague outline: "Old man, are you telling the truth or are you talking nonsense?"

The year before last, Mr. Qin had talked about separating the family. At that time, Mrs. Miao did not agree. She believed that the family lived together in a lively and lively manner, and there were no major conflicts that would lead to the separation of the family.

It's just that she has always followed Mr. Qin's lead and has no clear objection. Now that Mr. Qin has mentioned the separation of the family again, she panics and is unwilling to accept the separation.

"The third child is about to get a wife, and Dabao and the younger ones are getting older day by day. The whole family lives under the same roof, and they rarely bump into each other and make noises. We can feel more comfortable after being separated." Mr. Qin also sat up.

He took the clothes from Mrs. Miao and put them on his shoulders.

"Who's family didn't come here like this? Besides, our family has just built three new houses. The eldest, second, and third each have a house, and no one will suffer. The children can also live in a comfortable place, and they are not afraid of fighting for a house." Mrs. Miao asked.

He tried to persuade Mr. Qin on the grounds that there was no need to separate the family.

Mr. Qin shook his head: "You also heard what the second daughter-in-law said before the meal. She wants to live in the capital with the third child."

Mrs. Miao didn't think this was a big problem and couldn't help but speak for Zhao Cao'er: "Who wouldn't want to live in a place like the capital. The third child is where he is today because of the two of them. She has this idea.

Not surprising."

Mr. Qin's tone increased: "It's because of this idea that we can't let her cling to the third child!"

At this point, he softened his tone: "The second daughter-in-law is not bad, but she likes comparisons and likes the disputes between Taoists. If she has this temper in the village, we can take care of it for her. But if she is placed in the capital, it will easily cause trouble for the third child.

"

Mrs. Miao said anxiously: "It would be better if she is not allowed to enter the city. There is no point in dividing the family!"

Mr. Qin smiled and said: "Everyone in the village knows that we spent all our family efforts to provide for the third child. We will not separate the family and we will not let the second child and the others follow the third child into the city to enjoy their happiness. What do you think outsiders will think of the third child?"

Mrs. Miao has always been impartial to her sons and does not want anything to happen to any of them. She can understand Mr. Qin's concerns, but she still complains: "If you divide the family at this time, outsiders should say that you are partial to Mr. Qin."

Three."

Mr. Qin said openly: "You are already buried in the dirt, why do you care about what other people say! In a few days, if the bride comes in, it will be fine if she can get along well with the second daughter-in-law. If she doesn't get along well, the second daughter-in-law will become the third daughter-in-law after a long time."

It’s not much better.”

Although there are two families after separation, the third child is very affectionate. As long as the love between brothers is still there, it is impossible to watch the eldest brother and the second child live a miserable life.

In this way, it would be better for each family to live separately.

Mrs. Miao was also very perceptive. When Mr. Qin said this, she thought of the things she had ignored before and fell silent for a moment.

Mr. Qin continued: "The salary of the third child is not high, and our family cannot help him. He will not be able to afford a house in the capital in three years. When the third child moves out of the Number One Scholar's Palace in three years, he will have to spend a lot of money.

Let’s rent a house. If the whole family moves to the capital, even if the third child doesn’t have any objections, how can the third daughter-in-law have no objections?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Miao was completely speechless. After a while, she suppressed the confusion in her heart and sighed longly: "Divide it, sooner or later it will be divided."

Mr. Qin patted his wife's hand and comforted her silently.

Others didn't know that Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao had decided to separate their families. In the next few days, the family was busy preparing for Qin He's marriage while entertaining guests who brought gifts to congratulate them.

March 20th is the official day. On this day, Qin He has to take someone to the capital to pick up the bride and bring her back for marriage. Since Qingshan Village is a long way from the capital, it takes six hours by carriage, so Qin He and the people who are picking up the bride have to arrive in advance.
